Not really. Happens enough that you can't call it a surprise to see one, but they're only used in certain niches at this point. I write a check about once a year, for some edge case like I'm paying a contractor who refuses to just get Venmo or equivalent.

Even where they are used (as someone mentioned, you do occasionally see elderly folks write them at the grocery store) they tend to be just a slightly different version of a debit card w/o PIN -- the stores now can instantly run them, there's no way to float one.

This is the best explanation I’ve heard so far about Germany’s position on nuclear. It is based much more on emotions than on rational arguments.

Unrelated, but thank you for your work!

You’ve saved me tens if not hundreds of hours with ripgrep, and I’ve become a huge evangelist of it at my workplace. When I’m helping someone understand how to debug customer issues, the first thing I tell them is to install ripgrep. Truly a fantastic piece of software.
unnecessary german angst. Just check the map https://www.wano.info/members/wano-world-map. We are surrounded by atomic power plants. Switzerland, France, Belgium, Denmark, Czech republic..almost all of them are situated in the german borders.
A nuclear plant that doesn't explode, that is. Pretty sure Tschernobyl released more radiation than a coal plant over its lifetime. Probably more than all coal plants in Germany in their lifetime combined.
I’m not really conflating them here. The bad actors argue that having access to algorithmic amplification is a right. As an aside, how do we fit bots into JSM’s framework?
It's still part of the same grid as non-baseload generation, so the lack of flexibility makes the entire grid less flexible. So yes it's a negative.

And most people would call "can't be used for the more difficult parts of power generation" a negative too.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Someone can be brilliant for a long time and still get played in the end. Just take a look at what happened to Tony Hsieh after he got hooked on drugs: https://www.forbes.com/sites/angelauyeung/2021/01/26/cause-o...

> But instead, the community turned into a hedonistic enclave, where people on Hsieh’s payroll indulged his every whim — such as conducting a research report on the laughing gas nitrous oxide, which he was consuming daily, to figuring out a way to stop time—and were less willing to curb his increasingly concerning behavior and excessive drug use, Forbes previously reported. During this time, Hsieh resisted attempts by family members and close friends to check him into rehab, according to multiple people familiar with the matter. By the end of July, Hsieh was estranged from his parents and several of his close friends.
I wonder what's being used to update B-52s.

Note that all the parent post claimed was "profitable", without specifying how profitable. Thus unless interest rates go to zero, it should still be profitable. Negative interest rates has happened with some currencies, but for USD it has yet to happen.
>#2 is endemic to all package managers.

It is endemic to package managers which don't do curation, which is why I'm a fan of package managers that do.
Also maintenance, but still in comparison, it probably isn't a lot. The last figure I have is about 17 billion for all those federal programs and investments (but those include cheaper public transport tickets as well as other things).

However, I don't thing those costs are comparable. Those nuclear plants won't have a dramatic impact on the price of gas or energy, so the cost of the federal programs will be there nonetheless.
Some does though.

So the fact that this applies to some people means that it is an issue for those people.
> However, only about 10% of gas is used for electricity and Germany has enough electricity.

Energy prices in Germany suggest otherwise. Also, Germany is facing a gas pinch given the geopolitics right now, so freeing up 10% is nothing to sneeze at.

Rock climber fights off bear
When Chernobyl happened I was a physics undergrad in Kingston, Ontario, Canada and was spending the summer term on campus. We (the grad students really) went up to the roof of the physics building and started measuring for the radiation. There was much rejoicing when it turned up, which as I imperfectly remember was about two weeks after the incident.

Which is to say, that the radiation could be measured is different from saying that the radiation represented a significant health risk.
The electricity and trash are bad examples to bring up. You're paying for those with increased rent and municipal taxes.

Open source projects like Firefox and Linux are sort of counter-examples, except they're backed by nonprofits. If a nonprofit is giving something away, there's actually a decent chance that they don't have surreptitious motives. Same for a friend giving you something, that's not really a "product" in the sense of the saying.

I'd say that HN actually falls into the category of productizing its users. The reason HN exists is to attract talent to Y Combinator, and to get an audience for the companies they fund. It's a productive relationship that has created a great forum, but HN doesn't just exist for goodness' sake.

Yes. But you might not be using VS Code. :-)
Your reasoning why nuclear accidents couldn't happen in Germany is moving the goalpost though. First the narrative was that they couldn't happen, then it was that they couldn't happen in western style reactors.

The reality is that nuclear reactors can lead to big events in unforeseen situations, like also Fukushima was. It's impossible to foresee what the cause for the next big event will be.
w00t! Thanks for the kind words. :-)
> „If Japan can’t control the technology nobody can“.

I don't understand this argument, isn't Japan known for its earthquakes? Which are essentially non-existent in Germany?

In my opinion Fukushima should be an argument _for_ nuclear power. The death toll was really low, roughly 2000, and many of those death were caused by the evacuation rather than radiation. The death toll of the tsunami/earthquake was 15000 according to wikipedia.

What should really put this into perspective is that air pollutions is estimated to kill millions every year.

And all of this is with reactors that are really old. If we would put the same amount of engineering resources into nuclear as we put into chips I am sure the number of deaths would go down a few order of magnitudes.
Germany has 0 LNG capability and is for Gas largely dependent on the Netherlands now that Russia is gone. However the Dutch are scaling down gas operations because of earth quake damage and most its LNG capability will be used internally. So that means no new gas contracts with 2 of their largest suppliers.

Germany is going to need the little gas it has for heating and its industry. It's going to need all the gas it can save by using Nuclear for electricity (instead of gas) cold winter or not.

It definitely can be. I don’t think it needs to be as long as it is. With 5 space science categories, each with 4 tiers, and each tier requiring 4 unique data cards with one common ingredient and one catalog recipe for the tier, one insight per category, there are ~125 intermediate products to manufacture that don’t really pose any new interesting logistical challenges. For example, once you set up iridium processing, the 20 intermediates you need to manufacture to finish all 4 tiers of materials science are pretty straightforward. Sure, dealing with the scrap generated in the process of making those intermediaries is a logistical challenge that becomes harder the deeper you progress, but they probably could have presented that logistic challenge without requiring you to set up production for 25 separate products — most of which are ONLY useful for making materials science packs.

I have really enjoyed the puzzles it has posed in the form of circuit network logic for automating rockets and spaceships. The issue described in TFA is just the tip of the iceberg. My factory has deadlocked in a number of interesting and unique ways over the course of the 600 hours I’ve played thus far. I’ve enjoyed the mod. It has some very interesting ideas and challenges. It’s a shame those puzzles are hidden behind so much slog.
> It has recently come to light

Are there any more specific references what exactly has come to light here?

As it stands, this question just reads as a pretty cheap attempt to frame any and all environmental concerns or pro-renewable/anti-fossil fuel advocacy as russian propaganda. (which doesn't even make sense as gas itself is not renewable - greens usually see gas as the lesser evil compared to coal and nuclear but by no means as an end goal)

The german environmental and anti-nuclear movement predates the reunification, let alone russian gas deals or putin. While there might be some groups who are russian fronts or receive russian funding, the majority of the movement has quite strong motivations of its own.

This doesn't even take the "new" parts of the climate movement into account, such as Fridays for Future.

The software primarily serves its real customers, the executives who subject others to using the software. Seems like every field is taken over by these annoying products nowadays, which basically try to eliminate some employees and distribute the work to other employees (of course the software claims to mostly eliminate the work).

As for the 15-minute logging requirement, that may actually be part of it, cynically. Since they are cloud-based they can track every click, plus constantly time out and require you to log in again all day.

I'm sorry, what? Outside the US I just show my boarding card prior to going through security. I'm pretty sure my ID doesn't get checked until I board the plane, so hearing that you show biometrics is a bit jarring.

I’m not convinced it is. The statement translates to:

> Given the experience of the US Navy in nuclear power generation, I don't think their doomsday scenarios are inevitable.

I often see this given as a reason for why nuclear power generation can be safe, but I think it overlooks the fact that military reactors operate in a very different context from civilian ones.

For a start, do we know how expensive (per unit energy) US Navy reactors are? It doesn't matter how safe they are if they are twice as expensive as renewables (plus storage / power-to-gas).

More generally, though, given the secrecy around military and nuclear programs, would we even know how many near-meltdowns and embarrassing accidents US Navy reactors have experienced (at least in the past few decades)?

On their downloads page[0] it looks like they have CAD files for the board and a BOM for the components. Probably wouldn't be too hard (or expensive) to have a few boards fabricated by PCBWay or OSHPark. I imagine the enclosure could be 3D printed, though I don't see any CAD files for that. And not sure how easy it'd be to source the other components, especially with all the component shortages these days. But I imagine it'd be possible to resurrect the project, and given that they're not in business anymore, they might be willing to share more information with anyone interested (like CAD files for the enclosure, or specifics on where they sourced the components).

It’s true that Germany might have enough electricity, but we are sharing with EU. And it so happens that in the biggest neighbor, France, half of the nuclear reactors are stopped for maintenance and the French might need to import considerable amounts of electricity this winter.

I was going to reply that that has only happened literally twice ever, but decided to fact check that first. Apparently small steam and hydrogen explosions happened a whole lot at nuclear reactors in the 1950s and 60s.

Secondary to the question, but I live right by the Epic campus and use the Epic MyChart platform to communicate with the University of Wisconsin health system. It is phenomenal as a patient; I can handle all billing, message any doctor I've seen, view test results as soon as they're uploaded, etc. Recently I saw the results of some bloodwork in the ER before the nurses had time to come and tell me about it. (The UI/UX is awful, though.)

I look at the screens of the medical staff when I'm in the office and I can see why they don't like Epic; bad UI/UX and they definitely reorder and rearrange common menus when there's a big update. For overworked medical staff it's got to be a nightmare.

There must be a middle ground. I never want to go back to a healthcare system where I don't have something like Epic, but also it would be nice to have a platform with a more stable, simple design philosophy.

This is appealing, but taking this advice seriously means that all your relationships are many-to-many, until you optimize some of them to be one-to-many or one-to-one.

This clashes extremely strongly with the currently popular approaches to software development (OO, procedural, Lisp/ML-style functional, SQL, etc.), which have an extremely strong default of cardinality 1, inflicting lots of extra work on you for many-to-many relationships. You'd never have a member of a struct or a class start out as an int or a string; they would always be int lists, string lists, etc. Points would have a list of X coordinates rather than a single X coordinate; interpreters would interpret a list of programs; 3-D objects would have a list of transform matrices rather than a single transform matrix; files would have a list of owners.

(And of course in languages like C and Golang when you nest a Foo object inside a Bar object, you are foreclosing the possibility of that Foo having the same relationship with some other Bar object as well; you need pointers.)

Systems that do support that kind of thing in one way or another include Prolog, miniKANREN, the APL family, and Pick. But Prolog and APL only support it to a very limited extent, and I've never used Pick or miniKANREN.
