I remember the first time, years ago, that I saw a “Reddit-style” quick take be upvoted, instead of downvoted for ignoring the guidelines. I was sure it was the beginning of the end.. and maybe it was—but it still feels like now we are at the beginning. So almost certainly lower quality now, but no where near bad enough to outweigh the good. Overall the level of discourse is still much higher than any other online community I’ve ever been a part of.

A perfect summary of every pro-nuclear argument.

The financials for nuclear are truly terrible. At least when it was the cheapest source, the proliferation risks and highly centralized aspect seemed counter-balanced.

Now there is no upside, and they literally just bribe politicians for subsidies.

And making gains on nuclear would take decades, while solar would continually be rolled out and improve that whole time.
Just because someone disagrees with you on an issue like this doesn't make them right leaning. Adding on the culture warrior part seems rather childish.

> Geothermal power exploitation in Yellowstone, however, is illegal by act of Congress—the Geothermal Steam Act of 1970 (amended in 1988). This act requires the Department of Interior to preserve and monitor hydrothermal features, like Old Faithful, in units of the National Park Service, and there is a good reason that the law exists. In many places, including California, Nevada, Chile, New Zealand, and Iceland, geothermal power production has altered the behavior of nearby hydrothermal features. There is still quite a lot we don’t understand about how water moves beneath the surface in the Yellowstone area, and it is likely that even geothermal development outside the Park would impact features within the park.
I wouldn't worry too much about it. There is zero chance you could solve any part of global ev fueling.
Wow that looks quite a bit like a circa 1995 Infinity J30.
For me it's a substantial cost increase. My gas is only about $2000 a year and maintenance is roughly $200 a year. So roughly speaking I'd be paying $900 a year more to drive an EV then to drive an ICE. That's even before you start factoring in the higher upfront purchase price and the one time costs for upgrading the home.

I just realized something: while very few people are writing Assembly code itself, there is a very sizable community of C/C++ programmers who need to be able to read the Assembly code, as part of the debugging process. Well, GCC disassembler defaults to AT&T syntax, as does Clang, I believe. This means that AT&T syntax is quite important, as it will be widely used in debugging.

Nix doesn't keep a cache of the upstreams, though there are some projects planning to try to do that I think.

The build recipes pull from the original source and use a hash to ensure that the source artifacts don't change. Nix caching is usually done at the build output layer, e.g. the resulting binaries.

When ny car broke down, I call my roadside assistance to get it towed and took Uber home when my wife was working.

When I need to move, I call movers. Same with home repairs. If I couldn’t cook for myself and assuming I wasn’t married (I am) I order in. I’m not saying having friends isn’t important for emotional reasons. But now, unless I lost my job and have lost my financial means, i usually “need” friends for emotional support.

That being said, when my wife had surgery a few years ago, I really leaned on her (and my friends through association). My wife knew I would be an emotional wreck and they came for emotional support.
No clue on QPS, but it can't be terribly high. It is a single request, compared to the 200+ requests served when someone loads something like CNN.com.

I disagree, I love both disassociatives and Hallucinogenics, they are entirely different beasts though.
I love the alien / earthbound feeling of things like DMT, Mushrooms, Acid, 2-Cx, it feels...natural to be in that state, I also love how quickly things can go south on them purely as a function of your own mind deciding it wants to be a prick.

Disassociatives like Ketamine are totally different, in some ways more profound (and the shorter time of action is a big draw) but I cant say I "Love" them but finishing a night on them is an experience everyone should try if they are interested in exploring their mind and ego-death.

Every single Space Shuttle launch damaged the launch tower, in some manner.

Here's an old article about the post-launch inspection team used after shuttle launches.

https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/behindscenes/post...

Because of the "energetic" nature of space launches, damage of some kind is to be expected when they occur.

Sometimes the damage is minimal. Scorched and bent metal bits that can be painted and bent back into place. Sometimes there is FOD which gets blasted around and punctures things. Sometimes protective equipment doesn't work and hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage is done. Sometimes there is total failure of the physical infrastructure which requires millions in repairs.

Here is damage on the more expensive end of the spectrum: https://www.spaceflightnow.com/shuttle/sts124/080601pad/dama...

Here is a partial archive of space shuttle damage/debris reports: https://www.nasa.gov/centers/kennedy/about/foia/ksc_debris.h...

Fun fact, sometimes like, every handrail on the tower gets blown away so welders have to go up and reweld everything after a launch before people can go up. Also, depending on the recent weather massive fires start around the launch site and firetrucks have to race to put them out.

SLS is like the shuttle but bigger, when it comes to damage. It's unavoidable and they're not hiding anything.

They probably don't want people taking pictures of some of the neato highly specialized hyper spectral cameras they've got.

Edit: honestly, if your rocket doesn't smash up the launch pad as it ascends, I'm not really interested in it.
yes.

only thing is, too many people are trying to loop in potentially useful technologies with web3 - like ar, vr, ai, etc.
I got so much mileage out of the DLR they built to support those languages even if things didn't work out afterwards. To this day, I don't think anything as effective exists anywhere in language tech land.

I made this ~10 liner deep dict diff.

It's an abomination but also kind of fun, useful for my project where I'm reverse engineering a deeply nested api.

```

def deep_diff(first, second):

"""~10 liner find the differences between deeply nested dictionaries."""

return {

# recursive case

k: deep_diff(v1, v2)

# Base case, if this depth differs, return the diff.

if isinstance(v1, dict) and isinstance(v2, dict)

else {"diff": diff, "first": v1, "second": v2}

# Get the keys from both dictionaries at the same level of depth.

for k in first.keys() | second.keys()

# Test the differences at this depth level.

for diff, v1, v2 in [

(operator.ne(first.get(k), second.get(k)), first.get(k), second.get(k))

]

}

```

```

>>> pprint(deep_diff(a,{*a, 'hello': None}))

{'hello': {'diff': True, 'first': {'chello': 1}, 'second': None}}

>>> pprint(deep_diff(a,{*a, 'hello': {'chello': 1, 'aloha': 2}}))

{'hello': {'aloha': {'diff': True, 'first': None, 'second': 2},

'chello': {'diff': False, 'first': 1, 'second': 1}}}

> > ... or ordering something on Amazon.

> Who's the biggest contributor then, corporations? If I order something from amazon, which causes emissions to be created because of the delivery truck, is that amazon's fault and not mine?

It's even a harder question than that. Sure, Amazon is the one responsible for scheduling the emissions... but when you take into account the overall emissions of a purchase then it gets more interesting.

> Results are shown for the buying process of a toy, for customers living in an urban area. Figure 1 shows the carbon footprint of online and traditional shopping, when only the purchase step and the appropriate return rate are considered. The Cybernaut tends to have a lower environmental impact than the Traditional Shopper, as long as he does not use speed delivery.

> ...

> The Cybernaut’s carbon footprint is almost two times smaller than a Traditional Shopper. In fact the main component of the Traditional shopper is the customer transportation, whereas Cybernaut‘s emissions are linked to a parcel carrier, who uses an optimized delivery process. The freight transportation has a bigger impact for the Cybernaut since the item is packaged individually, which increases packaging weight and volume, and the linehaul distance of online warehouse is bigger than a traditional one. The packaging is the main component of the Cybernaut’s carbon footprint.

---

The box that you get from Amazon is the largest part of the carbon footprint for the online shopper, but it is still much less than the traditional shopper driving to buy an item in a store. The difference between an individual driving to the store and parcel delivery is akin to similar arguments for solo commuters vs taking public transportation - the bulk transportation of items or people is better.
I assume there is more information in their Discord? I'm not joining just to find out though.
I know what you mean.

I built my own laboratory from surplus research equipment where I only had certain types of pieces but I ended up with stronger resources than any one original owner.

Was able to use more features over more years doing invoiceable routine work the research way, and between vessels explore applications that were not invoiceable. That's where the real progress is, and it's possible to make it eventually pay off. Got so much more out of the equipment for many more years than the original companies. And I made money making progress on the instruments while it cost them money every inch of the way.

So what if I could have gotten a whole lot more out of millions of dollars worth of new gear, I was just making the most of the limited stuff I could get affordably instead. I was also a lot more of a loose cannon when it didn't really cost me a million dollars either.

The large petrochemical labs, with all their PhDs and virtually unlimited budgets compared to mine, could not do what I could do with their old equipment. Even after they had gotten a head start on newer models they had acquired before declaring their older ones surplus. And it took even more time before I had access to the surplus.

Even though these were industrial labs they were hampered by a carryover from the academic laboratory background.

And I was welcome to the unexplored possibilities overflowing out the basement doors with the truckloads of "obsolete" electronics. So I can't complain.
What you’re describing is essentially power as a means to an end (e.g. value creation). There’s nothing wrong with that in my book.

But the OP (or McClelland who is cited in the OP) is more about power as an end in itself. That’s something very different, and IMHO very detrimental.
"Some people who give birth aren't women"

His habits. You can’t regularly work 80 hour weeks without packing a few tricks. You can’t build multiple billion dollar companies without knowing something others don’t. Often I find when talking to successful people, they’ll make a revealing offhand comment that’s pure gold and can in fact change your life - if you’re paying attention.

An example might be Einstein and Steve Jobs having a full wardrobe of duplicates of the same outfit. Ok, but why? Because they realize the mind is only capable of resolving a finite number of dilemmas per day and choosing what to wear depletes that resource. An eccentric habit, but revealing indeed. After being sold on the theory, they went all in. I wonder to what degree they executed on insights like that where the rest of us just brushed them off
Valid point. I’ve luckily only seen these get caught under rowers rib cages and/or launch them out of the boat, luckily only bruises and sprains.

Who exactly used it first appears to be lost to history, but the first known published academic appearance seems to have been in the Fall 2004 volume of a bilingual journal called Feministas Unidas. It was used there is passing, without explanation, apparently assuming the readers were already familiar with it. https://people.wku.edu/inma.pertusa/encuentros/FemUn/newslet...

There are reports of online usage of both "Latinx" and "Latin@" going back to the late '90s. There are other references to academic uses that I haven't been able to track to original sources after a brief search.

Mainstream media (in English or Spanish) only appears to have discovered it in the last few years. I do get the impression that a lot of early adoption was from English-speaking Latinos in the US, which might explain the apparent incompatibility with actual Spanish. I don't read Spanish myself, so there's only so far I can pursue this. But it's not a recent invention of clueless white people.

"Latine" is a compromise I've seen proposed recently. https://callmelatine.wordpress.com/

By glossing over important points and focusing on ones you feel you can argue against you’re coming across as someone who simply wants to argue.

I’m only saying this because I suspect that otherwise if people fail to change your mind you’ll walk away thinking you were vindicated by their silence, when it’s just as likely that they’ve followed the old adage: “Never Wrestle with a Pig. You Both Get Dirty and the Pig Likes It”.

I’ve been learning Japanese for a few years. The basic translation here is close, but it still sorta keeps the non sequitur: they’re nice AND ALSO easy to move in. But these are not meant to be independent statements.

Part of the problem is that Japanese does this thing where they label whole statements as “good” with いい. To me, he’s really just saying “it’s great how comfy shorts are!”.

If you translate it robotically, he says “speaking of moving easily, shorts are good!” But we don’t judge clothes like this in English, so it’s weird sounding
