After horrible delays and cost overruns, the Olkiluoto 3 EPR reactor in Finland has finally reached 1600 MW electricity production in the grid this year, and is forecast to finish the production test phase in December. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olkiluoto_3

The two EPRs in Taishan, China are even more powerful and at 1660 MW are the most powerful reactors in the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taishan_Nuclear_Power_Plant

For those who like me are wondering where those neurons come from. An answer can be found in the Ars Technica article:

“[...] the researchers tested two types of neurons: some dissected from mouse embryos, and others produced by inducing human stem cells to form neurons. ”
When I was in Norway about ten years ago, I heard a story about Kamchatka crabs, introduced by Soviet scientists to Murmansk and then, due to absence of natural predators started migration first around North Cape and then south towards the Gulfstream. Norway captain of our yacht said, that in warmer waters crabs are more active, so they became an ecological danger of sorts. So I thought that with sea warming we should see a rise, not a drop of crab population, aren't we?
I find duplicate code by using a tool such as Sonar for a large codebase, or by reading and knowing the codebase if it is small enough.

But I think you mean how do I refactor duplicate code?

lsp-mode (https://emacs-lsp.github.io/lsp-mode/page/main-features/) for smart code navigation or projectile-replace (mentioned in https://with-emacs.com/posts/tutorials/search-and-replacemen...) for dumb replacements.
> The “authorship” or “inclusion” principle, as this is known, insists that filmmakers share the ethnic and cultural identity of their subjects. According to these standards, not only are outsiders incapable of understanding the experiences of others, they don’t even have the right to try; to do otherwise would be to take an opportunity away from a better-qualified person of color. As a white American, Smaker would be wildly inappropriate for a film about the Muslim world.
> The government isn't paying to build it. They are only providing loan guarantees, not actual money.

Loan guarantees are actual money, especially if the builder defaults.

> The main purpose of both guarantees is to make it much easier for nuclear reactors to get commercial funding from private banks.

So ask yourself why will commercial funders not give money to the builds, while they are perfectly happy for solar/wind?

This is really no different than what other countries do, e.g. US border officials extensively questioning foreigners or asking for usernames and passwords for social media. As a visitor you have to abide by the law of the country, which may be different from your own country, and whose interpretation may be stretched by border control at the point of entry.

The only difference here is that they were able to build an app to do all the tracking in plain sight. I'm sure governments in the US and Europe would love to be able to force all visitors to install a similar app.
Are you talking about secret government back door stuff? Not into phones but that sounds interesting, lol
HN can't hide behind the argument that this doesn't affect iOS. thats a very elitist argument

My point was that this is an indictment of the Android ecosystem, not a snooty nod to why everyone should use iPhones.
Good for the 24% of users, then.

It doesn't change the fact that tracking your detailed location and who you are around in combination can be used to determine your affiliations or sexual orientation. If you, with your secure iPhone, are located around numerous people with Grindr installed, they may jump to conclusions.

They are capable of targeting gays or political opponents with this, which is the point of the story.

Is it still not possible to allow an app read/write access to only a single directory on Android? Ony all directories or none?

From a quick check on my Android, that seems to be the case. How archaic. Why is it this way?
In packer, at least, you can pin plug-in versions. I’ve never had the issue you describe - I suspect precisely because I keep my plugin count lean and pin each dependency so it’s always deterministic.
The permissions mentioned sound like someone that doesn't understand the permissions systems used by Android and iPhone tried to translate them. So this part of the article is almost useless as it is hard to figure out what permissions the app actually has.

I don't understand the Android permissions system well enough here, but I would be especially curious about which API version this is targeting as I don't know how far back you can still go currently to avoid some of the stricter file access permissions newer versions added. As far as I can tell the most problematic storage-related permission in modern Android would be "MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" meant for apps like file browsers. And if the app actually requests this permission (or intentionally uses an older API level to get equivalent access) that would be a very clear and specific overreach.

But I would also not be surprised at all if this kind of app asks for excessive permissions, and then provides a lot of telemetry and analytics and sends them somewhere. And in a country where e.g. homosexuality is illegal this kind of stuff presents additional dangers beyond compromising your privacy.

> Yes let's just go free for all and the market sort it out. When was that a good idea when it came to safety critical infrastructure?!

On days of the week ending with "y". Private markets are the best way to feed people, clothe people, house people, entertain people and keep people healthy. By and large people don't willingly go with a public option in any of those categories if they have a choice. The electricity market is the same.

The evidence at the moment is that someone next to Fukushima when it went bad would be ... perfectly fine. No physical risk. Chernobyl wasn't as bad as a dam collapse. This was all with 1980s tech. The evidence here is that the risk is possible for a private party to handle. Rare evacuations aren't common enough to worry about and are a much smaller problem than making what is happening in Europe at the moment a regular risk.

Note that I'm calling for nuclear to be held to the same safety standards you've been exposed to for your entire life - my objection is that the standards for nuclear are unreasonably high compared to literally everything else.

Does this affect zlib-ng also?

Once I've looked into zlib code a few years ago, I abandoned it. It's a mess, only comparable to openssl, sqlite and bash.
It is possible, with Scoped Storage. The problem is that apps know when they've been denied permissions, so it will indicate that, and then you'll be either refused entry or thrown in jail.
I do love JetBrains products. But they were too memory-hungry for me. I stepped away from GoLand and into Neovim and it’s been by far the best experience the past year and a half. So far, there is not a single feature I miss or haven’t been able to duplicate.

Regarding stability - pinning plug-in versions could be helpful. That’s what I’ve done and I’ve never had an issue with stability.

I understand why they exist, but they should be opt-in in my opinion.

example #1 : a teenager starting his first job should not have his data shared by default (it is useless for him and increase(I think) the risk that his identity gets stolen)

example #2 : when you go to a lender, he could say, yeah, we check with equifax, maybe you want to opt-in with them.

The fact that they are unavoidable are the problem in my opinion. It creates a kind of monopoly. If it was opt-in, maybe we would see more alternatives companies offering the same kind of service with better security and customer service.

P.S : There is an error in my file and I never bother to fix it, I never lived there, it is clearly a fraud attempt and this is their error, not mine to fix.

1) it looks a lot worse than 1%, 2) it is on x86 not risc-v, 3) code bloat.

Meanwhile risc-v and everything else checks overflow for floating point arithmetic because it is mandated by the IEEE standard. That doesn't seem to cause slowdowns.

There is a code sequence in the risc-v docs someplace for doing a checked integer addition and it takes 3 or 4 instructions in the general case. Blecch. Better to set a flag like the FPU does, and check it at the end of a basic block.
Any group that holds to principles and establishes a strong reputation would tend to become a target for activists to take over and push their agenda. At least this seems to be how things work out in the US.

Usage of foo/bar/baz as metasyntactic variables dates to the 60s. It appears that Foo predates bar, and was possibly more related to the usage of it as a nonsense word in pre-ww2 comics. It seems unlikely that "bar" was added after foo for any reason other than FUBAR though.
Wouldn't an easy work-around be to get a cheap new Android phone? I assume you only have to install the apps on one device, if you take two; otherwise, just take the new one. I doubt that the expense would be an issue for somebody attending the World Cup.

It seems like this would be good practice these days for any international travel.

when I watch proficient people using these editors I'm always amazed at what they can do, and they appear more productive than I am with VSCode

Editing text efficiently is not the same as being a productive developer. The bottleneck is rarely how fast you can type or edit the code; it's how fast you can reason about the code. When you watch a prerecorded video most of the time all the thinking has already happened, and you're watching someone just go through the motions of implementation.

Obviously editing faster is nice, but you'd probably find you just have bigger gaps for thinking rather than a sustained increase in output.

If you want to truly be more productive as dev, focus on learning mental tools for reasoning about code quicker. Learn to step away from the keyboard to think , work with others well, communicate your ideas, how to be more organized, how to understand what algorithms are doing, how to break down problems, etc.

I think everyone in that situation is being petty. Looks like the Starlink stuff was in motion well before the whole tweet controversy though? Unless I’m missing something?

I have noticed though you can get some absolutely vile reactions from some people if you don’t seem to declare your undying support for the war. I’m certainly not supportive of Putin… but we also have to discuss just how involved we should be. Funny how US was the butt end of so many “world police” jokes yet now we’re the “bad guys” for not getting involved (at least to some people).

The whole thing is just so tragic and I honestly believe its mostly attributable to Putin’s ego, one way or another. I just don’t see this happening with someone even slightly more relaxed.

People built apps in Flash because they could put great experiences onto whatever outdated crappy IE version they had to target. There was also a really great editor. Lastly, the APIs for a lot of stuff just didn't exist. There aren't really great wasm editors any more. JS frontend development has replaced most of that. Wasm is used but mainly to port existing applications to the web, like in this instance, or to implement client side computation heavy applications. It's also rarer because it's still quite recent compared to JS which has tons of inertia. Generally, incumbents are only replaced if the new solution is really better than the incumbent (or there is a powerful enough trend).

A small minority of mobile devices are iphones .... Most of the world uses Android devices manufactured in China.
"And in a country where e.g. homosexuality is illegal this kind of stuff presents additional dangers beyond compromising your privacy."

What are the dangers if you respect the laws of that country? You are in danger in any country if you entry it with the intent of breaking the laws.
I look at it as kind of the inverse. Anywhere that isn’t too developed usually has people that are curious and friendly with time on their hands. Its modern urbanized areas where people too busy or distrustful to talk.

Let a job just be a job: a transaction from a fixed amount of time and effort for money to cover your expenses.

You don't have to be the best at anything. The sooner you detach from that notion that your life is only valuable if you produce some economic output, the sooner you will reach the mental freedom of not stressing out about every day life. If you go so far to throw your life away just because you can't function in this made up environment, you can simply redefine yourself to see the things the way they truly are.

If you know C++, you can easily pick up java spring boot and working with databases. Whatever you do, do it joyfully and you will ease into things with little effort. Rekindle your curiosity and shake off the chatter of the people.

I think you let yourself get manipulated by the negative news, outlooks and rejections from people. You are not in control of your inner world. Let the outer world be the way it is, but on the inside, you can create whatever state you want to be in. You have to become the architect of your own life or people will architect you the way they want: in fear of things you can't control.

Have you ever noticed how the world just keeps spinning as if nothing happened? Your country spins in a small cycle, the world spins in a larger cycle, the solar system spins in a much bigger cycle, but whatever you do, the universe doesn't give a damn about these abstractions you stress yourself out with. People act as if they run the world. They keep themselves up to date with the latest bit of drama.

With that put into perspective, how much does a rejection really matter? I don't think it changes anything. Even if you got the job, whatever happens there should have no impact on you. The next problem may be a boss, a coworker, a technical issue, a financial issue... the list goes on. When do you want to break free from this?

Make programming an all inclusive process. Pick up knowledge on the fly and you will grow horizontally to be a solution to this problem. Just whatever you do, focus on what matters to you, not what matters to someone who tells you what matters.
> They are theoretical money that might become real money in the future.

> They don't cost the government anything unless a power plant fails and defaults on it's loans. And even the it's not the full $40 billion. Just the shortfall between what the bank can recover and the cost of the loan.

I can't believe we are having this discussion on HN. Are you seriously implying loan guarantees are free?

> And if the project got anywhere near completely, there should still be a nuclear power plant.

Except that is not guaranteed. Historically speaking nuclear power plants have been going massively over budget. So the one thing that seems guaranteed is that the government has to guarantee even more loans.

> Given that one of the bigger risks to nuclear power plans are changing government regulations, it's actually a pretty low risk loan guarantee for the government to make.

Point me to any case where changing government regulations were a significant risk for nuclear power plants. The main risk is that the build goes massively over budget (like what is happening with pretty much every build in recent history), which will make it much more difficult to recover the cost.

>There is a decent chance they will never have to activate the guarantee.,

So if that is the case why do they need it? Private investors should be all over it. The reality is, the risk is high for questionable return. That is why they need the government to step in.
To only do the things that are useful and profitable inevitably takes us to dead-ends where humans end up behaving like little more than animals in the jungle, the law of the strongest, living for the next meal and reproduction, surviving and that's it.
Most of it can be seen as finite games in the sense of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_and_Infinite_Games .

But culture can be on another level. It's an investment in the possibility that we can progressively do better than mere animals - that we can realize our human potential.
That's why culture exists, it's a difficult and hardly profitable work in progress for our improvement as a species.
Hi, feature request:
