In the French version of the same party (EELV), as well as in at least one of its main "coalition" partner (LFI).

In the left-wing press in general (Liberation, Le Monde and Le Canard Enchaîné are _patently_ antinuke).

In the minds of french people, also, who are very ambivalent about the topic (as measured by... The nuclear industry itself [1])

In regular demonstrations against the Bure waste disposal project, and In general snarkiness about the nuclear plants producing exactly as much current during maintenance as solar panels during the night.

Now, to be fair, this split is more 30% against, 30% for, and 30 % "does not care and is happy to have relatively cheap electricity and no major incident for the last 60 years".

The side that is mostly against nuclear is also very good at _not_ winning elections.

Far right could very much have decided to go antinuke too, but for some reason they decided being anti wind was a better bet.

The rest of the country is in this weird middle stage were it's not popular to be pro nuke if you want to score with girls at parties, but you'll kinda be anyway.

Leonard Susskind – Is the Universe Fine-Tuned for Life and Mind?
This excellent and stimulating talk (including slides) examines four programming languages from the 1970s:

- SQL

- Prolog

- ML (Meta Language)

- Smalltalk

- A surprise bonus language revealed near the end of the talk

Presentation description:

"The 1970’s were a golden age for new programming languages, but do they have any relevance to programming today? Can we still learn from them?"

"In this talk, we’ll look at four languages designed over forty years ago — SQL, Prolog, ML, and Smalltalk — and discuss their philosophy and approach to programming, which is very different from most popular languages today."

Some quotes from the talk:

"So what can we learn from the 1970s? Some interesting things that we haven't really caught up [today]...Pretty much everything that we can think of as modern programming happened in the 1970s"

The following programming paradigms stabilised by the early-1980s: Imperative, Object-oriented, Functional, Symbolic, Logic, Stack-based:

"What's interesting is all these paradigms really solidified by the late 70s and early 80s, and these are the paradigms we still use today. We really haven't progressed that much."
I've certainly run into "Let's just declare victory and move on" in many different contexts. And it really is a pretty good philosophy for many situations.
Am I doing my math right? 11.22 gallons per minute works out to 1/2 a million gallons a month or so. That seems like an insane amount of water.
It depends on what you want to do. I stayed on the IC track and rose to a staff/principal level role in big tech.

I worked with quite a few MBAs, mostly product or program managers or directors who managed PMs.

I don’t have an MBA, and the ROI isn’t clear to me. Maybe it was just a cultural problem at my last company, but many of these MBA types wrote documents on often cringy or useless features that they’d claim will “delight customers”. Customers hated most of these product features and and saw them as privacy violations.

It’s entirely possible there are more successful MBAs and my specific company perhaps didn’t have the top MBA talent.
Wow, you're morally bankrupt. It's nice to see a well written article like that on the frontpage of this site, but unfortunately the venture capital fueled business model proposed by ycombinator is at the heart of the problem. Liability my ass. This is some disgusting dystopian bullshit. Also if you talk about liability, heard about the Streisand effect? Public opinion about these corporations is low and i think twitter itself isn't doing so well lately. Good riddance.

> Surely on a modern computer you can redraw a couple of text fields at 30fps?

Yeah this is the tricky thing, with how (I'm guessing) the code looks, you would think it's only updating the text fields. But in reality it's probably re-rendering the entire hierarchy using the @EnvironmentObject. So the SceneKit view gets setup and rendered every update of the Slider.

I have real-time color pickers for changing all windows in my app. Same with font sizes. It's possible to make it work, you just have to modify your design (which is unfortunate).
It's not a bad habit. It's just more practical.

Lisp lists are a data structure. One for example types code&data and computes with an interactive Read Eval Print Loop.

That's what one would write:

CL-USER 35 > (+ (expt 23 2.4) (sin (* 44 0.23 22)))
1854.5603

No one would type:

CL-USER 36 > (+ (expt 23 2.4) (sin (* 44 0.23 22
)
)
)

Also when Lisp deals with s-expressions, the more compact notation is more useful: here Lisp does the layout itself:

CL-USER 46 > (let ((*PRINT-RIGHT-MARGIN* 30))
(pprint '(+ (EXPT 23 2.4) (SIN (* 44 0.23 22)) (COS (+ 12 0.43 19.0)) (TAN (/ 1.4 0.77 3/4)))))

(+ (EXPT 23 2.4)
(SIN (* 44 0.23 22))
(COS (+ 12 0.43 19.0))
(TAN (/ 1.4 0.77 3/4)))

It's not

(+ (EXPT 23 2.4
)
(SIN (* 44 0.23 22
)
)
(COS (+ 12 0.43 19.0
)
)
(TAN (/ 1.4 0.77 3/4
)
)
)

Above is much harder to read and wastes a huge amount of space on the screen. Imagine that lists of are much longer and deeper nested. Finding the corresponding parentheses is usually done by using the editor (select a whole expression, have blinking or colored parentheses, etc.).

The main difference between Lisp and most other programming languages is that programs are written as a data structure: nested lists. Not only that: they are not static lists, but we can compute with them - that's the main appeal. It's a programming language, where it's easy and common to manipulate lists, even programs as lists. Thus the notation has not only be useful for reading code, but also for input/output by humans and programs. There a compact notation is much more useful, since tools will often create huge amounts of nested lists. For example imagine a macro for some Lisp functionality, like a complex loop expression. The macro expanded code can often be ten times larger as the input expression, yet we may want to see it in a debugger -> write that expression in a compact way.

I let Lisp indent my code and the system-wide standard indentation makes it easier to spot parentheses errors, since all code has the same shape rules.

(progn
(case foo
(var (eval foo)))
(fn (apply foo args)))

Since all code gets indented during typing, I can easily see that there is one parenthesis too much in the first case clause...

I wouldn't care to see the parentheses aligned and it makes the problem often more difficult to spot:

(progn
(case foo
(var (eval foo
)
)
)
(fn (apply foo args
)
)
)

I want the expressions to use less vertical space, so that I can see that the opening parentheses of the CASE clauses align. Anything else is just visual clutter.
To be consistent, I think the first part should be indented like this:

define
pos>? p1
p2

(p1 and p2 on separate lines)

agriculture provides me with food to eat. lawns do not. i would rather have food to eat than useless patches of grass.
Ugh.

I haven't really coded things since I was a kid and since I have an iPad/iPhone/iMac and wanted to learn how to code again and potentially use it as a side hustle or some sort of future money making opportunity, I decided to learn swift/swiftUI and i'm currently taking an online course, but when I read through hacker news, all I see is articles bashing it constantly.
Yes, you are right. Austria is not alone in this behaviour.
We're not talking about staple crops here, there's no impact on food security - in this context "food" means agricultural products like almonds and pistachios, and if a farm gets restrictions so that they don't have enough water to farm almonds, they can start growing something less water-intensive like wheat.
If it's truly wisdom and not just out of touch crotchety people whining about the next generation, society would have actually collapsed by now.
> Is the correct interpretation of the minus signs here that you distrust journals that print ISSN on every page more than you distrust journals that print ISSN prominently?

Yes. At least, that was how I interpreted the grandparent post's scale and how I tried to match it.

> Also could you please expand on the thought process behind this heuristic?

Have... have you ever encountered these journals in the wild? They're trash. But they come up in search results because search engines are dumb, and I don't know the "good" journals in every field, so I can't filter them out myself. Until I click. Then I can!

Usually what's in them is papers from researchers based in countries that have a publication count score or bonus. They'll take some overcomplicated homework problem and solve it or set up some overcomplicated scenario and show that it has property X or have a few diagrams or photos of their current overcomplicated-senior-project research and show that it will do Y when they finish it. All worthless. There is no insight whatsoever.

Quit job, moved country, got stuck in another cycle of dumb jobs. Quit those, bought a sailboat, moved on it, sailed the world for the last, uhm, 6 years now (time loses importance in this life).

Found a wife on the way, learnt a lot of new things, and even more about myself and the world.

Next I think we'll change the boat for a farmstead and grow some food.

Career? It can stay lost.

Oh, because you're gonna ask what I do for money: Not much really. Tiny bit of passive income, some savings. The key was to massively reduce the spending instead. It's enough.
I think it's similar to the issues some people see with wifi not working. Because of the datarate which at that point matches the 2.4ghz 5ghz band.
> In contrast, Arizona is relatively poor and landlocked. It seems like they're far more likely to be the canary in the coal mine.

This isn’t a great bet. Arizona had to solve this problem long ago and already has a good water rights system to cut out the most egregious users quickly as the Colorado river goes through its drought categories. Farmers aren’t guaranteed effectively free water with seniority over others willing to pay like they are in California.

Farming in Arizona might die, but the people are more than rich enough to continue residential usage with the large portion AZ gets of the Colorado river.
We're making sure Real-ESRGAN reaches people who cannot use CLIs (so that pretty much includes 99% of the population). Also, I have a PR in the making for their ncnn-conversion script, it ain't much but it's honestly the best I can contribute when it comes to Python and AI.

Real-ESRGAN creator also encourages others to use their tech in their projects, as mentioned in their readme.

I know we're not really enhancing Real-ESRGAN's code at the moment, but we don't want to disrespect or disregard their hardwork either.

When water is a tiny percentage of your monthly costs, you could care less. For example, my dad pays for actual water used. Not sewer, he provides that himself. As a result a 35000 gallon a month bill costs him something like $25. They obviously don't use that much each month, but he isn't concerned by the sometimes high bill that comes in.
> This entire thing isn’t twitters fault any more than it is WiFi’s, DNS, or TCP’s.

I respectfully disagree. TCP or DNS or WiFi or other technologies are merely means to achieve some result. A tool.

Twitter, like most services, is also built using various technologies and tools. But its main distinguishing property is that it has a large number of users who, for various reasons, are interested in what some other users have to say. Creating such social connections is its main goal.

Now, one might use e.g TCP to spread hate speech all over the internet. But apart from computers dropping these packets, almost no real person will be listening.

Contrast that with a Twitter account that has ~10k followers. If the hate speech is spread from there, it can get a lot of audience very quickly.

Twitter is one of many enablers and hosts of large online communities of people. As such, it should have, in my opinion, some responsibility regarding what goes on within these communities. At a minimum, it should disallow the dissemination of hate speech, actively seek and remove it and block the users who repeatedly spread it.

That being said, it might be difficult to precisely define what constitutes a hate speech and what not. But Twitter should at least be trying.

I agree, that sacrificing morals for money is not a good thing.

What I am saying is that putting your book on audible is not really unethical. It's not such a big deal, people on audible know how the system works and the DRM is fairly irrelevant for most people without tinfoil hats.
The field which adopted methodologies like Agile, Scrum, and SAFe is clearly not an exact science, nor an engineering. It's more similar to "soft" sciences like for example social sciences.

It's still a very young field, in addition to being a moving target, so maybe it's too early for it to be formalized like more traditional engineering disciplines.

It doesn't mean that you should stop reading books or case studies, start ignoring industry best practices, or disregard your own professional experience.
Right, and I think that was the grandparent's point: a particular aspect of a piece of software being "embarrassing" usually has zero to do with how successful that software will be.

If figuring out that silly JSON parsing issue would have delayed the game's release by even one day, that would have caused problems for people. And clearly, not bothering to find the issue for years (and I believe it was eventually solved by a non-employee, even?) did not reduce the popularity of the game in any noticeable way that anyone cared about.
Readability. By properly indenting the parentheses and putting them on lines you will at a glance see which contexts you just closed, that is how people format code in every mainstream language.
[Caddy maintainer here] It's probably faster, because it focuses on only serving static content. Caddy is designed to be general purpose. Caddy uses net/http (Go's stdlib implementation), Kawipiko uses "fasthttp" which is a separate library that should be more performant for simple uses.

But of course, do your own benchmarking, for your own usecase, and see which one works best for your needs. IMO benchmarking webservers is usually misleading because everyone has slightly different needs and since webservers are designed to be configurable.

All that said, with the upcoming release, Caddy will support being built with an embedded filesystem with https://pkg.go.dev/embed so your static content can ship with your Caddy binary and get served from memory. We haven't done much testing to see how fast this is in general, but it should be pretty fast in theory.
How is it a scam though? Seems just like regular business, i.e. selling something for more than you bought it for.
Those three premises are still insuficient to warant desalination.

"Shortage" means little, what we have is a restricted supply curve, that can still meet demand at a higher price. And if that price is insuficient to pay for desalination then it won't happen: when you build your desalination plant and try to sell water at production costs, you won't find any takers. They'll tell you yes, we have a shortage, water prices have exploded by 100%, 2 cents instead of 1 cent, but they certainly won't pay you 10c for desalination.
It's supposed to be a measure against technically non-savy people. It might work since a lot of people are not aware of DNS.
It's honestly a relief. I do not have MacOS so I had to compile the software with a MacOS VM without hardware passthrough, it took me a whole day to set that up. I wasn't able to test it on the VM (because of lacking hardware acceleration) but some nice people from the community helped us test it and find bugs and issues for the Mac builds :)

Well as a child I dont think I would have even noticed if the box was opened, or if it even came in a box, if my Sega Genesis or my new Bike, or what ever was completely out of the box I would not have cared (and pretty sure I got more than a few presents completely pre-assembled), hell if the Genesis already hooked up to the TV ready to play I probably would have preferred that...

Of course now as an adult I hate gifts, I buy what I need/want when I need/want it. I do not want other people to spend money on me at all.. Most holidays have become soo commercialized that the consumerism of it all puts me off

What's your motivation, you just want more money? Do you like working there? Do you like the people? Then go talk to them, tell them what you want (but figure out what that is first), explain how you're going to have to go look for it somewhere else if it can't be achieve with them.

If it's just money you want, go brag up the CV and spam applications. Something will stick eventually and you can climb the career ladder until you realize the uselessness of this endeavour.

Don't think it works like that.

The people who didn't know about these site before probably didn't practice piracy at all anyway, so having this list of blocked websites won't help them now anyway as they can't access them easily now anyway.

So IMHO these blocks mainly work at stopping Average Joes from accessing low-friction, low hanging fruit piracy and annoying them enough that they'd rather give Netflix 12 Euros than learn how to bypass these annoying restrictions.
No. Quantum computing won't be a "human labor replacer". Existing computers are just fine on their own for that.

I see this take a lot and think it is a failure of pattern recognition. People see "quantum computers" and think their adoption will look like CPU->GPU transition. It certainly will not.
Confusing title. The article is about blood types.

"Golden blood" is blood which is effectively neither Rh positive nor Rh negative, as its missing some antigens which both Rh- and Rh+ have. It's not such a good thing to have, apparently, since it also comes with structural features which may result in anemia. See also:
