My understanding is that you are not allowed to build a research reactor that is bigger then a university reactor but isn't a full scale energy producing reactor. My understanding is that for such a reactor you would need the full operating license just as a grid connected PWR.

And since in the US its essentially impossible to get a license for anything but a PWR, that isn't rally possible.

Technology independent regulatory framework is one of the main reasons Canada has so many reactor startup, even those that started in other countries.

I've had 2 Dell XPS's running Ubuntu, a 9300 and 9370. I very recently switched to an Air M2.

The build quality between the XPS and the air is night and day.

The 9300 flexed so much that when I picked it up with a single hand, the trackpad would click from the flex.

After a couple years, the keyboard stopped working, the shell started to physically split and I had to tighten the case screws every week or so (there was a ~2-3mm gap in the case, to a point where the USBc wouldn't line up). My camera started to turn off at the slightest vibration/breeze.

I find OSX painful. But between a mildly frustrating OS and crap hardware...for me, the air is an obvious better buy.
Bathroom breaks would have to get extreme before management has the slightest place in bringing it up as an issue. Anyway, if someone is getting their work done, why does it matter how many breaks they take?
Google Photos has a feature for exactly this on Android. It's called "Locked Folder". It is not synced, and accessing it requires your screen lock code or biometric authentication. You can choose to save photos directly into the locked folder as you take them, in which case they are never uploaded.
That's an electrical fire. ICE engines rarely spontaneously combust when parked in your garage.

In fact, I cannot think of it ever happening. The most recent thing that matches your perception was a Ford model that was know for catching fire when overheating.

It made news precisely because it is so rare.

You are correct in that the seafaring culture is to always render aid.

Additionally it is also the law and international convention.

How is this money laundering? If you use dirty money to sign up to Spotify and listen to specific songs so that you get some of the money “clean” back wouldn’t that in case of Spotify be the dumbest and most inefficient way of laundering in the history of money laundering? I mean doesn’t Spotify keep the majority so you’re essentially donating dirty money into the stock price of Spotify for the most part, no?
I recently discovered YouTube videos that use a crappy spoken intro with a real human face in it and then proceed to display scraped StackOverflow answers as text with music in the background. the intro/outro is always the same as it is very generic.

Vehicle manufacturers don’t actually make all the spare parts, other firms find it worth it to do so for them. Similarly, I could buy some common parts for the 2014 Mac mini that was easy to service on Amazon, without waiting for Apple to return my call. The annoying part is that Apple uses security to sign and enforce their chips vs third-party replacements.

On top of that, some repairs are really cheap but require electrical work. For these, you could visit a specialist, just as not every shop or dealer will service every car.

The gotcha is that with Apple, you can only service it at Apple & friends, with Apple parts. While they enforce this, yes, they could indeed offer such a program, and it wouldn’t cost 25% more.

Training people every year on the newest models costs more than having folks who repaired the 2008, 2011, 2014 and 2016 models continue to do so, etc.
With Ubuntu being absolute worst crapshoot of Desktop Linux nowadays, while still riding the glory from days of yore, it kinda makes sense.

Dell isn't targeting Linux veterans, they're targeting people who have heard of this Linux thing and get led to Ubuntu by Google.
I'm not a lawyer, but first clause and it's variations are common in contracts and it's ment to protect the rights of company for IP developed at work.

It definitely is not ment to apply to things u do in your free time. As long as you do your stuff on your own hardware, it does not relate to IP or source code your employer owns, or does not provide competing services to your employer's customers, I don't see how your boss interprets that clause in such a way.

In addition I would check how 'work' is defined in your contract, since you are in EU as I am, I believe it usually mentions place where work is performed and work time from - to, work load (how many hours) and description of work. If the contract defines 'work' as any activity you do in your life that would be pretty jaw dropping.
This article is all over the place.

Anyway, the author would have been better off writing a query to generate the class definitions directly from the data dictionary (if available). INFORMATION_SCHEMA (and other proprietary implementations, like the DBA_ views in Oracle or sys views in SQL Server/Sybase) is just perfect for this. An order of magnitude easier than writing a parser.
Err what? Non-technical people can have a hard time telling the difference between email and Gmail. They don't understand the difference of photos stored on their smartphone vs in the cloud.

> My personal feelings about suicide become relevant when others start involving me in their suicide.

I'm really confused. I mean I assume you must be a doctor right? If not, literally none of this makes any sense since you're not being included in anything.

Regardless, your job as a doctor would be to determine whether a terminal patient making a decision to end his or her life is clear of mind. That is it. You wouldn't be approving of their suicide.

Your position is basically the epitome of selfishness. You are taking something that is not about you and making it about you. Your emotions simply do not matter. Grow up and understand that the world doesn't revolve around you. People shouldn't have to go through unnecessary suffering because you for some reason take their own entirely personal decisions about their own lives and make it somehow about you.
Dell's have so many issues that make me hesitant to ever get one again.

Who is "we"? I'm simply impressed that despite hippies going extinct back in the 90's, "we" still don't have nuclear energy powering 80% of every single country.

The only real pollution coming from nuclear power plants is hot water that is poured down the drain into the river which causes serious damage to ecosystem and if this bureaucratic bullshit was looked at seriously and all idiots kicked out (and preferably lynched), someone just may figure out that in winter, you need lots of hot water for, I don't know, heating lots of houses maybe.

And yes, not the hecking radioactive waste that can be buried deep underground where noone will ever be affected by it... Just remember that same should be done with the unrecyclable plastic which now deteriorated into microfibers, got into your rivers, seas and eventually into the fish that you ate last week, but isn't, because you do not actually care about real world problems and waste that in fact does ruin your health beyond repair.

Absolutely, I think most opponents of this change in the workflow have failed to understand the requirements being placed on developers to push a cutting-edge, performant and platform-neutral service ecosystem.
Except of course that for non in-person medical consultations (which are becoming more and more the norm) it may be unavoidable to do so.
It does not have the Esc key. So bad.
To add, registered ecc ram sells for rather cheap used. But servers in general tend to use much more power and generate much more noise than their home/office equivalents.

Weak generators can also cause trouble in non-security-related applications. Monte Carlo simulations or integrations run with generators that don't truly randomly sample with respect to the underlying structure of the problem can go quite badly wrong. This usually requires a truly awful generator, but you'd be surprised what can happen. These days there is really no excuse to use anything worse than the Mersenne Twister for mathematical uses.
Anything like that is already banned for civilians (not that it will stop somebody clever and motivated enough..)

The question is whether the American government would accept banning itself from having autonomous weapons. I think they wouldn't; they're too useful and already normalized.
How large are your data? I'm thinking about implementing something similar but I'm not sure if its worth the time versus reading in flat files.
When I saw this, I was about to comment about how in seemingly every single case of a major laptop vendor selling a Linux model, it turns out the Linux version is unavailable in the UK.

Then at the end of the article, I saw it list the UK as a country in which the laptop is available, and was pleasantly surprised: "As of today, the Dell XPS 13 Plus developer edition with Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is available in the following countries (available configurations may vary by country):"

The words "United Kingdom" are even a link to the Dell UK page to buy it. I click on the words. The configure-and-buy page opens. Operating system: Only Windows 11 is listed.

Just... what? What is going on here? They explicitly said the Ubuntu edition is available in the UK, and then it isn't. Why does it feel like there's some bizarre conspiracy to deprive people in the UK of the Linux SKUs?
They were bad for thin and light laptops with good battery life (mostly atom shit and underpowered core cpu's like in the 12inch macbook).
That's what I was going for
Thanks!

Still puzzled about the hole in the bottom - I wonder if it was being used in a business for some special purpose?
> Isn't this just FUD? A quick google tells me that ICE cars catch fire much more often than electric vehicles do. Although I have no idea how often container ships catch fire.

No, the FUD is actually the other way around - fires in ICE models are always found to be electrical faults.

The only exception I can think of is the Ford Kuga from 2019 or so; and even then, it was down to manufacturing/design defect in the turbo, not the engine itself.
Don't take it the wrong way, but I just have to laugh. This is how children think.

How are you going to fix this with a law? The whole problem arises because drones are easily hackable and the technology stack involved is cheap and open. Countries make them, what are you gonna do, sanction them? You could build a drone swarm in your garage and it will be harmless right up to the moment you choose to weaponize it.

Chemical weapons are a terrible parallel because while you don't necessarily need big industrial facilities, it's not that easy to conceal. But there is so much you can do with autonomous systems that's completely innocuous, in much the same way that you can't do a whole lot about cyberwarfare just by declaring it illegal.

I mean look the guy who assassinated Shinzo Abe; Japan is about the most law-abiding country going, guns are rare, and as an island it's super-easy to control imports and exports, so the guy just built one out of parts from the hardware store/garden center. Weapons are just not that hard to make, and if you're inclined toward lateral thinking the possibilities for drones are near endless.

To be frank I think a lot of military drone people are missing a trick because they have unrealistically large budgets to play with so demand these impressive but very expensive models that are designed to be part of an infantry loadout and deliver guaranteed kills from around the corner or through the hole of a pillbox.
Gron has the same issue, as it too is written in go and randomizes key order.
Worksations and laptops are not really the same thing, are they?

Every XPS15 we had in the office had some sort of issue. Either motherboard cooking itslef, battery dying prematurely, trackpads getting stuck, display flickering, laptop cooking itslef in the backpack, HDMI issue etc.

Unacceptable for such expensive devices.

>So what do you mean? Are there better laptops with Linux preinstalled from major oems?

Read my comment again. I mean XPSs are very badly designed and built devices. I never said others are better.
I think that beyond 20km the horizon is between the laser and the drone. Maybe aircraft-mounted lasers could defend the carrier over a wider area.

If each drone costs US$50 then you can launch 180 million drones for the cost of an aircraft carrier. I don't think increasing the number of lasers from my 5 to 10-20 is going to help much.

I don't know what is needed for a munition to damage an aircraft carrier, but I feel like once it's on the deck it's already past the strong defenses and into the soft targets. It could be as simple as a wheeled robot that runs around stabbing random people, or a poison gas canister that fills the interior of the ship with mustard gas, or hundreds of hand-grenade-sized mini-claymores that deploy to random parts of the ship and conceal themselves quietly until a sailor happens to walk by.
It's "built-in."
I'm very interested in this device.
Looks like I can run a home assistant server on it.

Yes it matters. Just knowing that it works with one of the most popular LTS distro versions is a major selling point. For me it was the reason I bought the XPS 13 with Ubuntu 20.04 a while back. I use Ubuntu myself, so not having to reinstall anything saved time too.

It seems like with a number of the high-growth startups, the client isn't really the client.

The real client is the VC who writes cheques and provides validation in increasing valuations. The "regular clients" are a raw material, to be converted into the service provided to VC.

Clearly, in the early days, you desperately need "regular clients" to prove yourself to the "VC clients". But eventually you earned your stripes and you can again care about valuation over revenue and profit, and consequently customer retention.

Add to it the SV dream of inventing a niche and monopolising it, and you care about your customers less still.
There being valid reasons to solder RAM doesn't preclude being annoyed at Apple for charging 3x the market rate to upgrade it with them, I suppose. It'd be a lot less controversial if that were the case IMO.

This was more or less exactly the French republican calendar, with 10 days weeks also: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Republican_calendar
Plenty of facets on this one, and I fear they all require changing and enforcing legislation and to fix them.

* Google provides a good product free of charge to everybody, but claims it can withdraw the offer to anyone with no notice and without giving any reason. The law should require more rights, guarantees and due process even for free service providers. At minimum, the right to recover my data, the right to have some time to fix the problem, the right to have everyone following the same rules, knowing the rules and knowing the exact violation, and some basic warrantees. As a parallel: Malls are open for everyone just like Google, and it still doesn't allow them to ban people at random. The USA learned with black people how quickly this becomes ugly. But a mall still can remove customers too troubling, the cops can be called, and both mall and customer can sue if it is really worth it.

* People should pay (and be able to pay) for a product that is worth it. The services provided by Google are easily worth money.

* It's hard to ban anyone on the internet without a stable identity, government provided or not. People just take a new identity and come back. This is especially sensitive in the USA, but it causes all kinds of trouble. Maybe coupling the ID to a payment is an alternative, so you can get a new ID if you pay for it. €10 /id / year would probably be enough to shut out almost every troublemaker, and the law can deal with what's left.

* The child porn laws are insane and should be changed. It is not normal that you can send a picture to someone, and the law requires the receiver should go to jail even without him knowing anything happened. Under such laws, the google 'scorched earth' policy is the only option they have.

* EULAs need to cease existing. If I buy an Andriod phone, I give money to the manufacturer, the manufacturer gives money to Google. That means I should have a right to access google play etc without all kinds of EULAs making the device I bought non-functional on any whim from Google. Just paying should be enough. It used to be that license agreements existed only between companies, and were deemed too complicated for ordinary consumers. The 'End User' aspect has to die off. Normal copyright will still protect the software just as it does with books and DVDs, so there really is no need.

Afaik you can run kernels with 4k pagesize on apple Mx platform. It's just not optimal.
I do agree. In this case I think it should be common enough knowledge that the doctor should have known that it wasn't reasonable to ask someone to use this email provider (or frankly any provider) for this purpose.

But Google needs to make a bigger deal of the fact that their services shouldn't be relied on for any particular purpose. (I feel the same way about banking apps too)
It's amazing to me that they didn't learn from Apple's mistakes. All we heard about for months was how annoying not having a physical escape key was. It even forced Apple to change the keyboard on newer models, with a physical escape key and then the touchbar to the right.

But here we go, Dell has decided to put a capacitive escape key. They really need to know their market better.

Anyway, it looked like a nice laptop. Totally unusable to a developer without a physical escape key.

OP is decribing hyperfocus, common among people with ADHD. ADHD doesn't focus/attention is "unavailable" - it means you have a very difficult time controlling it.
It also seems to be wrong, since the ZVV website explicitly mentions the app, the online ticket store and vending machines. [1] What seems to have happened though is that during the pandemic, the bus and tram personell that used to sell tickets as well stopped doing so to minimize contact. [2] This obviously is still a problem since not all stops have vending machines, so there’s the extra rule that you can buy your ticket at the next stop that has a vending machine. Inconvenient? Certainly. End of the anonymous travel? Certainly not.

There are a lot of options, I'm no nuclear engineer but looking at all the different companies, they all have different approaches:

Terrestrial Energy: The whole reactor, including heat exchanges and so on is defined for 7 years of life. After that a second reactor is running. After a few years the original reactor is put into a storage silo and then a new reactor is placed their ready to be switch to.

From memory they don't seem to pump the fuel from 1 to the other.

Flibe Energy: They are doing the famous lifter. Simular concept, 2 reactor cores with graphite moderation, after 7 years the fuel is pumped to the second reactor, the first is getting its graphite core replaced. This will have longer lead time to deployment.

Moltex Energy: They have totally different approach. Instead of 7 year lift-time they are building a traditional reactor with much longer life. They are basically building a sodium cooled fast reactor, but replace sodium with salt solution. And then in the fuel assemblies are also like those in sodium reactor, but contain liquid salt with uranium in them. They want to produce the fuel salt from spent Canadian CANDU fuel.

Kairos energy: This is a molten salt cooled reactor that uses pellet fuel but little balls instead of the traditional pellets.
