> Smaller reactors probably means more of them, each requiring separate planning permission, design approval and so on. It also probably means people living closer to the reactor, which many would and do oppose.

The major selling point for smaller reactors is that you can make a mass produced design that doesn't need separate planning, permission, and design approval every time. You can still have large power plants to get the benefits of scale, you just put more of these small units together at the same site. In fact you get some bonuses as you can shut down some reactors for maintenance while still producing power. Indeed most nuclear power plants already have multiple cores for exactly this reason, but typically its 2-6 rather than 20-60 and thus they are still pretty big.
I guess the problem is it can't called out as bad coding because those codebases are apparently following the best practices of Java framework in use.
I started doing the same years ago and nothing came out of it. Most spam I got subscribed to, seemed to get my details some other way (or sanitised my email).
> It's literally Einstein's definition of "insanity"

That definition of insanity was not invented by Einstein, nor did he ever say it.
I see that you have also identified the central value proposition of Concur.
The problem with technology is it allows abuse on scale. Yes, there can be racist cops. But if you buy in technology that's racist, suddenly every cop is using a racist profiling system. In a similar way, yes, eye witnesses can be mistaken, but we know that, it's far more difficult to argue "oh this billion dollar AI machine is mistaken, oh actually they've threatened to sue me no they aren't".

It seems like you do get it.

That's not how the law works in the US. Just spend some time reading up on sovereign immunity. The likelihood of any police officer being punished for wrong-dooring is 0.
That was kind of what sprung to my mind as well. Since I'm not really familiar with the mitigations or their low-level details, I wouldn't be able to speculate on what kinds of factors might cause the performance effects to vary randomly depending on specific circumstances, though.

Kind of like it turns out that the performance effects of various compiler optimizations can vary a lot depending on the exact memory layout of the compiled program, which might vary from one compiler version to another or due to minor changes to the program code. If you want generalizable results, the proper way to benchmark might be to test with multiple random layouts [1].

I don't know if there could be similar potential side effects from vulnerability mitigations that might cause their performance effects to vary in an effectively random way. Perhaps the mitigations are different enough to not vary so much. I don't really know. But the question kind of unavoidably comes to mind.

The FBI will have this power in spades though. They also have a 98% conviction rate.

I think the federal government might be worried that local police could get too good at their jobs thanks to technology and that would create a state/federal power imbalance.
I have followed the documents carefully, doing a deep dive on Diablo Canyon around 2020, but I do not recognize your framing of the situation as anywhere close to accurate. I'm also not sure what you mean when you are referring to energy austerity in your comment, of what $2B you are talking about.

Great way to put it.

> There's literally no reason to going with a lot of NoSQL databases over using a SQL database as a key-value store.

To be devil's advocate, the arguments I hear range more on ease of ops/scalability for noSQL, apparently some do it better than SQL implementations, and some drivers can make trivial operations easier as well. That said, I'd pick PostgreSQL for pretty much any new project I get to work on.
I'd choose Edge over Chrome if I didn't have better options.
> Thanking them and advising them how to do it better next time would be much better.

Thanking them and advising is the recommended way to handle this.

Unfortunately, as happens in all large crowdsourced areas, some don't adhere to the recommended ways and "do their own thing", often to the detriment of the project as a whole.

I really disagree. The past 20 years have shown us that automation is the main driver of white collar job growth.

There are very few industries that haven't already digitized, the ones you mentioned that have human CRUD apps are relatively rare. Accounting, law, healthcare...who else? Basically nobody.

How many new companies exist now because of automation?

Sure, there are some prestige managers out there, but I think their prevalence is overstated. Most managers I know in tech companies are overworked and have no time on their schedule.

Do you practice know your customer (are you required to)? Is this shared hosting? Who runs the site? Who is responsible for security? What are your assets? Any other way(s) for them to be compromised? Where are your backups; did someone get ahold of those?

What about all of the garbage that people pull in from the webs (and into their customer's browsers)? Do you know why fonts.google.com is controversial? Is some ad network participating in a watering hole attack? Got a chatbot on your payment page?

Once you have a handle on that, you can start looking for answers. If that's too much to ask, then the time to start paring down your attack surface is before there are questions.

Use hosting that provides such guarantees. Use an MxP. Don't keep customer information you don't need. What you quote is facile.

Frankly I'm shocked that deduplicateTree is two orders of magnitude slower than deduplicateGreybeard, despite having asymptotically better-or-equal performance (TreeSet runtime is O(output log output), whereas sorting an array is O(input log input)). I'd say that perhaps boxing the integers is slowing the algorithm down, but deduplicateGreybeardCollections has only a <3x performance hit rather than >100x. Is the problem due to allocating large amounts of internal memory and branching heavily (binary trees as opposed to B-trees), or less predictable/vectorizable code execution than array traversal, or virtual comparison dispatch slower than `items.sort(Comparator.naturalOrder())`, or some TreeSet-specific slowdown?
Yeah back then I felt mine didn't produce good matches either.
Anyone who's run a CI platform for more than a few devs and NodeJS projects quickly bumps into inode problems unless they thought about build server filesystems in advance. Very quickly you end up with hundreds of thousands of minuscule files filling up the disk.
I have read that 2/3rds of weight issues is food intake, 1/3 is exercise. I can believe it, because if you look up how many calories are burned walking 30 minutes, it's 80-100 calories. By contrast, there are 150 calories in a can of soda.

If I was overweight, I'd concentrate on the food aspect and forget about exercise, because that's 2 difficult things to change at once. Cut out grains (bread, rice, pasta), sugar, high fructose corn syrup, starchy vegetables (limas, peas, corn, beans, potatoes). Losing weight requires putting the body in calorie deficit so that it has to use fat already stored rather than relying on incoming food calories.
The sheriff definitely had the right to search the farm field, and possibly had the right to search in sheds without a warrant. I’m not a lawyer, but there is a Supreme Court case that defines what is and isn’t protected on someone’s property, the result of the case is the open fields doctrine.

Personnel are a key ingredient for success. In civilian world for construction the regulatory environment is wildly different. Calls for Navy to run civilian nukes would likely not work with the civilian regulator.
> I am stunned by the "Navy has operated 5,000 years of reactors".

When they've been building them for 70 years and have over 200 nuclear powered vessels, it shouldn't be that surprising. For comparison, Ontario Power Generation has operated 787 years of nuclear reactors (343 combined at Pickering, 120 at Darlington, 324 at Bruce), each of which is at least 3.5 times larger than the biggest navy nuclear reactor. France has dramatically more than that.
> Automation is coming, and it is definitely coming for the white collar workers who act as human CRUD apps.

I know some people who do this kind of work in various organizations.

As far as I (and they) can tell it all should have been automated down to 1/10 or less the staff it takes now decades ago with computers, but their orgs keep getting basically scammed by vendors promising the moon and delivering a mimeograph of a smeared Xerox of a bad photo of the moon, so it never happens—there's constant tool churn, but nothing ever gets faster or better. Anyone internal smart enough to automate any of it themselves either quietly does it some for them and their buddies so they can slack more, or does none at all and tells no-one what they're capable of because it'll just mean more work and management'll probably fuck it up anyway, if not be angry about it.

It's a leadership failure and it seems to be more common than not. Maybe we'll reach a tipping point where such orgs simply die from that kind of thing, but it really seems like we ought to have by now considering how much "low hanging fruit" that couldn't been tackled in the 80s is still around.

Corporate Site Down for a Year
I am interested in learning other languages and about a year ago I was intrigued with some email from Rosetta Stone about a free trial. I followed their directions to go to their site and create a login. After creating the login, I tried to log into the site (www.rosettastone.com) [select --> Sign In] (looks like now you need to click this twice) and get a page apparently of broken links. I'm in IT so I understood this might be just a temporary problem (Devtools indicated some problem reaching a server). I tried to contact their support to give them a heads up, but all I saw was a link to a knowledge base and no option to actually contact a human being about the problem with their site. Thinking this might be browser or cookie-related, I tried incognito mode and a number of other browsers to no avail. I re-tried for a couple of weeks afterwards with same result before giving up.

Almost a year later I thought surely someone working at Rosetta Stone would have fixed the issue ... but, incredibly, I see the same problem with broken links. (It think having to click Sign In twice might be new)

Doesn't anyone/anything monitor failed attempts to access this site? I could see someone with an individual website not being on top of an access problems, but it floors me that a commercial enterprise can just their site broken.

If by fail safe you mean that powering off the reactor makes it cool down then the Navy uses fail safe reactors. Water is used as the moderator to absorb radiation. When water is heated its density decreases (edit), thereby making it a less good moderator of radiation. This effect lowers reactor reactivity and heat output. This effect is combined with various devices to produce what is called an inherently safe design. Losing power will not make the reactor have a fuel element failure or melt down.

The sad thing is that our constitutional right to privacy is nowhere near as broad as our modern understanding, and that's exactly why the Supreme Court was able to get away with the crap it did when they ruled against the precedent Roe v Wade.

I've got multiple >1000 star projects on GitHub, and I feel like it hardly matters at all. I'm still being asked to do lots of trivial coding exercises during the interviews. A large percentage of code I've ever written is out there in the open, but somehow it's still not enough to verify that I'm able to reverse a string.

Thankfully, where I live, most companies don't really ask for hard-core algorithm questions - if they did, I would never get a job, as I really suck at these.
This is a horrible idea that will eventually make the situation of cyclical dependencies even worse.

Hitting cyclical dependencies is an indication that the code base is not being built in a composable fashion with layers depending on other layers. This is usually solved with more packages of more focused independent functionality rather than less packages of less functionality.
Yeah one should consider whether a choice bakes in something against the ultimate requirements or is just a trivially replaceable stop gap. Bonus sometimes you find the stop gap is actually acceptable.

You could host hashes of the downloads on an https page. Should be quite simple. Malware can still work on a computer without a built-in network stack and if users are getting downloads onto that computer, then data can leave through the same means.

That's a good point, I decided to do some napkin math:

Sanibel Island has 7,821 housing units at an average density of 454.6 per square mile.

Median sales price of the homes in 2021 was $1.64M, average price was similar.

So a rough approximation of the value of the homes on the island alone is $12Bn. I am not sure how you would translate that into damage costs, but in a scenario of total destruction then $12B would be lost.

I have no real evidence other than visiting Ft Myers and Naples a few times, but I can tell you there is (was) a lot of very valuable property right next to the ocean. I don't doubt that if you look at the total distribution of damages that there is a long tail of less severe damage as you go inland, but the conservative estimates from my napkin math shows that it's likely a significant number (over ten billion) occurred just from properties on the small stretch of coastline.

Yes, this is amazing. The reason I am a bit less surprised is that I've been playing with textual inversion in the last few days. Just from six photos of me, it can create portraits showing me from any direction. That means it has a very good 3D model of my face, and that information is fully contained in the model plus the CLIP embedding obtained by textual inversion.
> It's called capitalism. And freedom.

No, its not. What you are describing is called lack of governance. The western wold has entire industries spawned by government projects one way or another. Either by means of research or outright subsidies.

> EU did NOT prevent member countries from investing and growing into whatever direction they want

Yeah it did. The reason you and your brigade comrade cry over not seeing “factories” around cities is because eu regulation means using standards on par with the rest of the eu. This means the barrier to entry in various manufacturing industries is extremely high. Basically romania is forced to perpetually take eu funding to develop industries, often subsidising those of germany and other eu countries. Instead of starting small and iterating from there machinery used in romania needs to meet the same quality standards as those in richer countries. Surely you understand the issue here.
