The fighting and bombing is just as scary and deadly away from nuclear plants.
Well, yes, in the past, sure. But seasoned, contemporary Lispers, actively using Lisp to write programs don't usually do that these days, unless they are referring specifically to things like CLISP, XLISP, AutoLISP, etc. Even Common Lisp is no longer capitalized in each letter anymore.
You can use whichever style you like. But just so you know, some Lispers may get annoyed.

But then again Lispers often get easily annoyed. Some of then get annoyed when you say "Clojure is a proper Lisp".
This is a lie about "low level" waste: all the inside of a nuclear plant that has been in contact with nuclear material is also waste, which cannot be recycled. This is why the decommissioning is difficult. You can take out the fuel rods, but not all the radionucleties in the pipework and those formed by neutron absorbtion.
I never imagined the day would come where I'd agree with one of Google's product decisions.
Isn’t it “what Adobe plans to do inside Figma”?
One example:

All files/pages will be publicly discoverable. I regularly chuck stuff on a webserver to share files (like /files/dat-283992.txt) that's only meant to be accessed by people I share the URL with, but that's not possible when the repo is public.

Additionally, your Jekyll config files will also be public, which I guess some people might not want, for whatever reason.
It would complicate the buttocol a bit but one could imagine having the engine predict the opponent next moves and propose different responses to them: if e5f4, then e3f4 – if c7c5 then ...
To be fair, when XML was cool, XSL did a good job in carrying out templating-language-like-features. Use case was like: Write semantic XML document, use XSL to generate XHTML, render XHTML in browser. Modern browsers still run XML with XSL.

Server Side Includes was probably the only thing that came close. While not actual templating, it did serve me well for code reusability and being able to make updates in one place. I made heavy use of them, even after discovering php3. It wasn't until I discovered smarty that I stopped using them. I miss those simpler days.
I agree, people can adapt to basically anything, but we have pretty clear precedents about who does what when faced with this or that.

In the face of constant legally sanctioned/mandated exploitation the frequency of outlaw group appearances increases, similarly revolts start from time to time. (Not saying their success rate was any great.)

Repossessing organs doesn't sound scary. The fanatics do scare me more, after all North Korea and every other successful oppressive regime was built on that. But it remains to be seen if it's possible to scale up totalitarianism to bigger scales.

I think layer is quite correct. Both Photoshop and sketch approach it the right way. Think of a sheet of paper as a layer. In Photoshop layers are sheets of paper that each matches the size of the document. On each paper you can draw whatever you want. They then lay on top of each other and the white parts are transparent.

In sketch, instead of sheets of paper that match the size of the document, you have a perfectly cutout shape for each stroke you draw. You can then move that cutout around within the document.

Both of those have the same principle except one is cutout one is not.
There doesn’t seem to be much new in here, but it’s good to hear Dylan’s perspective. I really hope Figma find a way of transforming Adobe from the inside.

I’m still pained by the Adobe/Macromedia acquisition. Fireworks was the best UI, and arguably “screen” focused, graphic design tool of the time. So much better in every way than Photoshop (because thats not what it was trying to be!), but Adobe couldn’t see that, thought they were competing products, and killed it.

If Adobe had kept Fireworks, invested in it, and eventually added the UI focus and collaboration feature of newer products they would continue to own this market.

Fireworks is the true predecessor to products like Figma and Sketch.

I fear Adobe are not particularly good at seeing how a new product tailored to a new design pragmam doesn’t compete with the older products. Reinvention is good! Maybe this is the start of them approaching that differently.
How often have seen that speech of “we are going to stay autonomous!” , probably way too many times. As soon as hard time hits, or the current leadership changes, that goes right out the window.

I understand the lure of a big pile of money, surely. It probably creates a lot of opportunities for Figma in the short run, but long term I feel it will be Macromedia all over again.
That would be "what Adobe plans to do with Figma", as opposed to what figma plans to do as a part of the Adobe org, which is what the headline means.
How? Economics strongly suggest to run nuclear plants at maximum output whenever you can. So you wouldn't be able to use them as backups when there is a lack of wind power.
It's up there indeed.
If Russia sent one Nuke to warsaw, and threatened that New York City, would be the next target followed by Barcelona, Paris, etc. If Putin then says: if you stand down. I will not nuke any other cities. Don't give me more reasons to send Nukes.

The sad thing is - the madman holding the nuke button has all the control. He's crazy so he'll do anything. He's old enough not to care about dying and destroying the whole world with him.

Everything doesn't just swing into action automatically. Poland gets nuked. Congresses, UN, Nato all hold virtual summits to figure out what to do. A week later, they decide this can't stand but if we can save 5 million lives in NYC, maybe we should.

It would like play out more like chess by mail, Putin makes a move, Biden makes a move, maybe Germany makes their own move, etc.

Once the game is in motion, it can go many ways. All Russia needs to do is cut a deal with a few NATO countries to let them be 'neutral' if they keep their noses out of things, and Nato falls apart, and then it leaves USA vs them, of course the way Russia military runs things that's not a big threat.

Another thing to think about - most of Russia's military officers are corrupt. They've been embezzling funds meant for supplies/equipment etc for years and now they finally need that equipment, they're getting shown off for fraudsters.

It costs iirc something like a billion every 10 years PER nuke just to update them and keep them working. On top of that I've read there could be as high as a 60% failure rate for normal nukes in action, probably due to the fact they mostly spend their entire lives just sitting in a bunker somewhere. Quality checking may not get done as often because of the radiological risks etc.

I'm betting of all the nukes in existence, Russia's by a magnitude of 20 maybe are more likely to fail than China or USA or other countries that actually have a competent military.
It really doesn’t sound like an appealing shot. It sounds watery and weak.

Just make sure your server does not give a list of files in the directory /files/ if you do that :-)
The data server via API isn't yours, that's FB's data. You can download YOUR data via a page on the FB site.
Adding that in HTML5, closing <p> <td> <th> <li> <dt> <dd> and other tags like these are optional. You can choose to not close those, and your HTML is just as valid.

If you practice not closing, you can do without any markdown language. As the HTML itself gets almost as simple as markdown. Plus, gives you advanced control not found in markdown.

Using that money to build more wind and supporting infrastructure would make it much less likely.

People don't talk about it much, but CfD has killed nuclear. It lays the long term costs and risks bare.

Hinckley is going to overrun it's already high cost, and France will be left picking up the tab for any cost overruns.

I wonder if their contract lets them just build the equivalent wind power to save money? Or just shut it down and walk away.

At some point the cost of subsidizing expensive energy for another country is going to become untenable.
I wouldn't surprise if this succeeds. I find it completely pointless and would never be tempted to devote any time of my life to it, which in the past has proven to be an accurate predictor for successful tech (e.g., twitter or VR).

Good luck!

Most places in the USA have low crime. Almost all of the USA’s crime is concentrated in the bad parts of a few cities.
> Eh, "book" is widely used as the unit of literature.

This is orthogonal. A glass can either be the physical item, or used as unit of literature. In the current context, nobody cares about the unit.
I commented like I'm on a site that values discussion over blind downvotes, but also substance over empty moral claims.

I was genuinely interested in reading some arguments for that claim. (After all nowadays it's s trope that this or that thing corrupts society. Porn, money, capital, the Internet, music, 5G, drugs, sex, millennials, conservatives, radicals, atheists. And of course DnD.)

>Ask them to use something else, or get an exception by explaining that you were banned. It isn’t endemic and there are always options

Good luck if it's a business or public org. Why change their process for what amounts to a minority of customers? It's not worth the cost. Whether these people can't do business with them despite these services being essential to everyday life... well tough luck for them I guess?

Own example: in $COUNTRY almost all banks use either their app or Viber to send 2FA. I refuse to use Viber out of principle, and also their app refuses to work on phones that don't use Google services.
Should I be locked out of my banking because of me refusing to support the practices of other, unrelated services that happen to be 'popular'? Note that there is no other way to get the codes - other banks may use SMS but that is expected to be sunset next year and they will switch to the same methods.

IMHO it's disingenuous to say that there are options, when most of the time there aren't any.

I can rephrase it:

-- the article seems to convey the idea of the emergence of grounds for further degradation of quality in the material used for printing books, and I observed that in some territories the "build" quality (for publishers with the highest output) is already dire, using other territories as a parameter. So, "worse than that it will be either a challenge (vertically, for the publishers already going for "pulp fiction" quality) or a further spread (horizontally, for the publishers that still tried to avoid "pulp fiction" quality)"

-- the article seems to stress the issue of "verbosity vs scarcity", and focus on that "literature for spare time" in which "the longer the text, the merrier" is more frequent than in intentional artistic literature, where text length varies from a few megabytes, but very exceptionally, to possibly very little (I noted in a different recent post that texts seem to vary from ~100k to ~1000k at the quintiles) - to write huge texts is much more frequent in works with the sole purpose of filling gaps in an "entertainment market". So, I noted that it is an odd presentation that which brings books as a topic but seems to focus on "attempted blockbusters" (which may be prominent in quantity but will not match what a book, i.e. "«the codified way to convey information and wisdom»", represents).

What I originally wrote does not seem that complicated to me - at least, not unnecessarily: it matches what its intended content is. You are not "at McDonalds", "where chewing is an effort you are spared": real world, relative effort is part of the game. When you "read" something, you have to be an active part in understanding, you are called to "fill in the gaps". I mean, you would be right in accusing of making it overly complicated if there existed ways to express what I wrote - but exactly that - in a different way; whereas, what I wrote was exact (though incomplete, to keep within a reasonable amount of text).

And if something is not clear, just ask.

--

Edit: also (speaking in general, really not necessarily about the present exchange): one can note a phenomenon of "people who simply cannot read, unless the message and its form are the simplest" - this, out of experience. This is extremely worrisome, in the social context. One can also note that some seem to be embracing an idea according to which, "if they don't understand, the problem must be in the message" - which is differently but equally worrisome. These are signals that should call for the highest concern.
> I’ll die on a hill

Meanwhile in multi-lingual laboritories all around the world where 'international English' is the language everyone uses, or attempts to, and 'experiment' is a word used multiple times a day, I keep hearing both. Which gives me the impression there might not actually a single right way anymore, or perhaps there never was (as in: could be British vs American or older brritish vs newer), and I stopped caring.

I realize there might still be people claiming their way is correct, in which case I have to ask: is there a single authorative reference? Only if there are no other references to be found claiming something else you can in my opinion be right, when it comes to language. Or else you have to narrow down your claim and specify a region, or a certain type of usage.

For example recently someone pointed out I'm wrong not using a comma after 'e.g.' or 'i.e.'. Which sounded strange to me, because I keep on reading that, including in redacted texts. That person then came up with one single textbook as reference, claiming it's the authority. I went looking around and easily found other texts, which definitely seemed to be reference-worthy material according to where they were used and referenced in turn. I never got a good answer to my question why I should believe that one book is 'the' authorative one and the others aren't so as far as I'm aware both forms are ok.

> Lastly - I know that this is a joke project, but one thing I'm not understanding: how does the system read the current state of the chess board?

It gets the state of the board though a manually inputted FEN code. Unless the user of this would hook it up with a camera and scan the board in real time, it's assumed that whoever is using this has someone helping them. So the helper would operate the backend, input the board, and send it to the end-user

But yes, Germany didn't follow the same growth as say China because the political right managed to stifle offshore wind a decade ago. Very bad move for multiple reasons.
>Statistically, again, probably nothing.

Yes, there still is. Any program tuned to play some level does so by making suboptimal moves enough to get that lower rating, while making really profound moves more often than a player at say 2500 would make. A 2500 human has a certain level of understanding and all of their moves show this.

Ever play a top engine set to play weaker? They make amazing moves far too often for a weak player, and try to compensate by making poor moves once in a while. No weak human plays this way.

Play chess? I've played for decades, and you can see the difference (and certainly top GMs see it too). You hear in commentaries on analysis of top engines making moves that are not human. Any engine does that - tuning it down only makes it do them less, but still enough that someone that plays a lot at a high level will notice.

A human playing 2500 and a computer playing 2500 are not making the same moves, and it shows even there.

If you know any GMs, ask them the same question and see what answer you get. You will get the one I just gave.

There was no way to keep that secret. Also it kind of indicates the USR only cleaned up under pressure from the West. Chernobyl was evacuated before the West was fully aware of what happened for example.

After Chernobyl, a full train load of milk powder, from Eastern Europe, vanished in Bavaria. It was bought by a major dairy producer, when it was decided to destroy it said train was nowhere to be found... Funny coincidence...

Hey there, (Zsolt Varga here)

Yep, we should have pointed out that this has to be done in at the right time.
Generally this article was about how we saved $1M expense and we was able to share this saving with our customers.
Not an attack on AWS, I still use their platform for my other projects.

But to be accurate, this migration happened last year, and now we already doubled our usage and this brings us to $2M / year saving now.

I 100% agree with the comments below, use AWS while you are defining your product and growing, Todd (the founder) did this right.
Spending days and nights on managing your own infrastructure or paying a devops employee to do it, in the early phase is just pure waste, and takes away focus. But we moved away from AWS at the right time.

Also, yes we had to do this to be competitive, as prerendering is a resource heavy service, and if your site is like ProductBoard (awesome tool) which will not consume terabits of traffic or use petabytes of ram, then you can stay on AWS forever and enjoy the benefit of not caring.

And what we lost? Minor inconvenience at this point, I cannot just pull up a new database in 10 minutes, but we don't really do that anymore, most of our current projects requires months of research, planning, and delivery. With those time frames we can notify our devops and get everything in place way before we need it.

So, keep on using AWS (it rocks!), just be sure to pay attention to the bill, and don't underestimate the cost of the traffic.

Have a nice one
