He's missing parts of the problem.

Yes, nukes are too slow and expensive--let's look at why in a bit more detail:

Slow: There are two big factors here. First, they aren't using stock designs. Most of the design time goes away if you're using an off-the-shelf design. Second, litigation. The greens figured out how to tie things up in court to the point that power companies won't touch nuke. Especially with things like regulators telling them they can't operate their newly-built plant (nothing wrong with it) and can't pass it along to customers in their rates.

Costly: As he says, ALARA guarantees nuke is too expensive because it automatically precludes any actual improvements. There's no reason to come up with a better design because in the end it will cost just as much because of the extra safety systems they will have to pile on it. There's also the delays caused by litigation that can really drive up the bill.

My fixes:

1) One bite at the apple. Once a plan has been approved that's it, the government doesn't get to say no unless what's actually built has a meaningful deviation from what was approved or there have been major changes in understanding of the risks.

2) Scrap ALARA. Instead, require nuke plants to be 10x safer than the next safest *competitive* source of power. This is natural gas which is currently approximately 50x as dangerous. (Solar and wind are intermittent--to be competitive you need to count their storage systems also. The storage systems don't exist, thus they can't be counted. Hydro is limited by available sites--and pretty much every worthwhile place already has a dam. I haven't seen safety numbers on geothermal but it has the same problem--it can't be scaled up.)

(And I would apply this principle to industry in general--the government can't impose safety requirements on something that's too far above the alternative.)
But it's not always clear what is "green"? For example, New Users going up can be a good thing but New Users going up by a lot can represent a fraud attack. Metrics always require some interpretation to provide value which is why we have dashboards instead of alerts.

There are some metrics that are binary good/bad and I agree that in those cases you should just have an alert.
So, the users of Steam and what they post on their public pages, is selection bias when judging the usefulness of communicating with... the users of Steam?
If you stick with Apple you buy yourself a whole new ecosystem every three years anyway.

I am not a fan of walled gardens and vendor lockin, but come on. Take some personal responsibility for your situation.

Don't complain that it is Nintendo's fault that you've paid a lot of money for consoles, controllers, games, etc. and now you're trapped.

You bought a BMW and all the add-on subscriptions for working radio, seat warmers, race mode. Now you're trapped.

If you think Apple or John Deere or Coca-Cola are a problem, then switch. If you think there are no other options, you are wrong. You are just unwilling to suck it up and do what needs to be done.

Sometimes it takes determination and effort to live up to principles.

You may say thay one person cannot turn the tide. This is usually true. Thank goodness that millions of Ukranians haven't used that as an excuse.
Here's my understanding:

The main electricity-generating fusion reaction is aneutronic -- 3He-D fusion yields regular hydrogen and a proton. But a fuel mixture of 3He+D will inevitably produce some D-D fusion, which yields 50% T+p (tritium and a proton) and 50% of He3 + neutron. The neutrons produced are slower than those produced in D-T fusion (2.45MeV vs 14.06MeV), and are similar to those produced by radiation therapy medical devices.

Since they need the products of D-D fusion anyways (tritium decays into 3He in 12.5 years) they can either run D-rich fuel in the main reactor and extract the yield for future fuel inputs or, if the slow neutrons of D-D fusion still prove too damaging to the device, they can lower the Deuterium ratio in the main reactor's fuel, and designate separate reactors to do the D-D fusion exclusively. That way they can concentrate the cost of neutron damage mostly to one fuel producing reactor, and not have to replace every electricity-generating reactor as often.
That's the traditional Marxist view. It is not the traditional view.
Vast majority of animations are done in the blink of an eye. When done well, you barely notice them, it just feels good. When done poorly (most new page turning animations), it becomes noticeably odd and that's one of the worst qualities for an animation to have.
Hey, I'd love to read yours. Please write it!
Once I thought about it, I realized that on some lizard-brain level with no logical reasoning present, I am indeed more likely to agree to give someone an email if they asked me to write it down on paper vs. type it in somewhere.

I can think of many different reasons for why, but they are all just guesses at best. One that comes to mind is that writing it on paper feels more "personal", as in "i am giving you this piece of my info", and I instinctively know that a human will have to look at it, read it, or do something else with it. Regardless, a human will have to take a look at it before something else happens to it.

While typing it on the person's device feels much more impersonal and more of a "I am entering my email into this digital form, with no expectations of any real human to ever look at it, with my email probably being sent into some database for some automated processing or spamming me or whatever else".

The latter isn't a real objective concern of mine, both typing and writing it out could easily lead to the exact same outcomes (both good and bad). But just instinctively, I feel that this is one of the main reasons for why it feels different for me on a subjective level in the back of my head.

This is interesting. Do you have any good links for the Russian connection!
Essentially it just means that the connection between the app and the server is encrypted à la HTTPS, right?
Yeah, it's hard to generalize these kinds of things since companies can operate so differently. I've seen very large companies where everyone can use the same 5 metrics and others where each team needs their own set of 5. I think the key thing is that no team is using anymore than absolutely necessary.
Edit: s/HID/HIG
Oh man. Top 100 link at bottom is great. I just spent a good 15 minutes laughing
It’s really specific to certain SV companies. Everywhere else I’ve worked, the “career mgmt” side is maximum 10% of your time
Element feels a lot like Slack/Teams/Discord. It has a few distinct features (federation and such), and a few are, as far as I'm aware, missing or "different enough" such as Slack's whole "We'll replace Email, why don't you write your longer documents in here as well"-thing.
Pointing out that a man who desires to be a woman is still really a man, is an act of speech that neither causes him harm nor dehumanizes him.

It's very silly to claim that this is some type of hate.

Ha, and I bet there is a metric for that too!
I was a long time Windows user. Since the 3.11 days. Windows was originally very much "You do you". Outside of Domain-joined machines, it was much more of a suggestion to update. Thing would update when you restarted/shut down.

A basic Windows install had some basic tools and utilities, but they largely didn't push things on you - and once you had set preferences, that was that.

Then Windows 8/10/11 came around.

Ads through the UI. A half-dozen or more sponsored bits (both 3rd party and their own other products). You'd log in one day and find they'd installed some other piece of crap. Features were disappearing behind the Microsoft Store. You'd try and set up a machine, and it'd play stupid games about "Oh, you need a Microsoft Account to log in", hiding/removing options to skip if it detected an internet connection.

You'd install Chrome or Firefox, and it would beg and whine.
They changed up how you set browser preferences twice, to deliberately make it harder to switch. It would "helpfully" reset browser preferences back to Edge "for security".

Updates were force-installed, regardless of whether you wanted to. I remember being at a conference and hearing from maybe a half-dozen presenters who'd all had Windows push an update during the conference. Some it was just before they were about to present. Some had their machine sitting in it's various phases of Updating for an hour or more. Some had Windows reset a bunch of other preferences/configuration, and fuck up demos they had planed.

For me, the security and privacy benefits are secondary to "Let me use the machine that I'm paying for".

Ubuntu/Pop_OS might prompt me to install updates, but I've never had it tell me I have 15 minutes before it is going to force applying updates, 5 minutes before I'm supposed to join a meeting. Ubuntu might have some sponsored bits, but they're gone when you remove them.

The end of Windows 7 was the end of me using Windows, because I just can't trust the OS to do what I want, when I want.

This isn't just me, either - I've converted three other non-techie folks over to Ubuntu, too - all they did was stuff in Chrome and the occasional bit of printing. They had similar issues with Windows forcing changes on them that they didn't want. Multiple times I'd had to reset browser settings, because Windows decided that Edge was better. So Edge imported their contacts, but not the Chrome apps and couldn't sync passwords to the Google Passwords service.
I guarantee you those installation and maintenance fees will go down once the new reimbursement rates go into effect. The price you’re charged is calibrated to how much money you are expected to save.
Ok, so "web3-metaverse-blockchain" bubble is bursting, only the AI one is growing in a good direction.
The obvious problem is the relative scale of the pixelation to the underlying redacted material. The demo works because the scale encodes enough data of each character and its relationship to its neighbours. My guess would be even a 25% larger pixelation block would scrub too much for it to be at all reliable.
On one hand, as long as your political opinions align with those of the ultra-wealthy then the inequality shouldn't bother you.

On the other, high inequality is socially unstable because that is not generally the case.
> Some of your colleagues suggest that you stay focused on debugging the problem on Linux. Others suggest running the same test case on macOS and Windows, to see what happens, and if that sheds any light on the problem.

The latter option seems clearly better to me but I don't know if that makes for general advice. It's also easy to pick that option when the alternative isn't specified at all (we don't know what "keep debugging on Linux" means).
this nomenclature does not make things any clearer -- in fact, quite the opposite.
I think one of the big issues that collaboration and productivity apps miss is that they’re supposed to be tools that help and accommodate each individual user according to what is best for them.

I have really bad adhd and so I think I end up noticing it more because I’ve had to build all the tools I rely on myself and realized how not at all powerful the existing solutions actually are at molding themselves to the user’s needs rather than vice versa.

- I need progressive reminders for deadlines, increasing in frequency when the measure of percent completed and time to deadline gets worse.

- I need undismissable reminders, if an important message comes in and I miss it it’s gone forever.

- I need 15, 5, and 1 minute warnings for meetings.

- I need daily reminders of the things I should be working on that automatically expire so they don’t become noise.

- I need my tools to yell at me if I try to push a commit with a not descriptive enough message, don’t tag a card, and then auto move it to MR once I take it off draft.

- I need when people post messages in the channel looking for reviews that it adds to my daily reminder list and goes off it once it’s merged.

- I need reminders on Friday that I should spend the afternoon prepping cards for handoffs instead of working them.

- I need to yeet random messages into different lists so I can remember things like “found a big make card for it” or “idea for 20% time.”

- I need a weekly report of all the commits I made, cards I touched, and conversations I had so I can take them to my 1-1.

- I need a thing to pull out emails to specific groups and forward them to our group slack otherwise no one will see it.

- I need non critical alerts to also show up on my daily reminder list that drop off it once it’s ack’d or a card is made for it.

- I need alerts when there’s activity on my MRs that are sent as messages and go to my list rather than one of my (literally) 50k weekly emails.

- I need the group lunch order to ping me when it’s actually time to order instead of when it’s announced.

All the tools in their default states don’t actually do anything for you. They create more work and mental load than take it away.
Proton is really remarkable, considering there have been several commercial gaming-focused products based on Wine going back many years, and none of them are nearly as good.

Apple has made a bunch of decisions that really hurt gaming on macOS, which is frustrating. Starting with the $99/year fee just for app notarization, which deters tiny indie games from being released on macOS. This has a persistent long-term effect as those same developers make bigger games.

And on the other end of the scale, they're still using Metal as their own modern graphics API, so everyone has to either use a third party compatibility layer (MoltenVK), or use their engine's least-mature, least-well-tested rendering backend. Either way performance is pretty much guaranteed to be worse than it could be.
That’s another common misperception, that Facebook sells data. They don’t. They sell targeted advertising that uses that data. The advertiser API specifies descriptors for who should see the ads. There’s no facility for accessing private data.

Selling the data itself would be giving away a huge component of what differentiates their product from other advertising platforms. It would be like Coca Cola selling the recipe for Coca Cola.
It’s not about auditors bring your friends. The Big 4 are only marginally better than their competitors and the Anderson scandal proved definitely that they are not in themselves a proof that things are fine. The idea that there is something fishy with companies not using the Big 4 as auditors is just wrong.
Of course. My bad.
Keeping Russian teens in a sedentary lifestyle with video games is good for Ukraine. It weakens the Russian military. If anything, they should be giving free games to young Russians. Give them lots of pornography, liquor and drugs as well. These things weaken nations.
Depends on the team. It can be.
Smug, infantile nonsense. Then this guy shouldn't have to pay for YOUR street maintenance, YOUR kids' school, or any other public benefit that you use and he doesn't.
> I love this place. People speak with total authority about stuff they clearly do not understand.

Well if I lack the authority to comment on my own education, please feel free to share your greater understanding of the years and hours my classmates and I devoted to learning a second language. Perhaps you can even convince me my A* GCSE made me fluent and not utterly incompetent in it!
Nope, sorry, you're wrong. The page turning animation was delightful.

If you didn't care for it, you could ignore it, it was fast. But it showed that the designers of iBooks had cared about it being an experience of reading books.

The new animation is just... weird. It's not an actual thing and makes no sense. It doesn't even look like you're yeeting the top page out of the pile since the bottom one moves.
Compared to where?

I have no dog in this fight. I'm not British. I don't live in Britain.

I am certain that racism exists in Britain. But I don't think I've been anywhere that racism doesn't exist. More to the point, I don't think I've been anywhere with less racism than Britain. I've been to every continent but South America and Antartica. Perhaps Brazil is the utopian ideal you're using as a baseline? I saw racism in India, in China, in Canada and the US, and in my native Ireland.

There isn't much racism in Ireland, but then again, there aren't that many visible minorities, and until recently we've been blaming all our ills on Britain... Oh, bother. Well, apart from the Troubles, Cromwell, the Famine, what has Britain ever done to us?

Pythonic (half-)witticisms aside, I don't think your statement is useful. There are racists in Britain, but my own anecdata is that it's mostly a place with relatively good integration, certainly better than what I saw in the US.

Finally, take a look at the current cabinet. They may be a shower of haters, second-raters, I'll-pay-for-it-laters and the like (Braverman is my current least favorite, but only because Priti Patel on a break getting her venom glands upgraded, but they certainly cover a fair gamut of skin colors. (Though no one of East Asian decent so far as I know)
Is there any approach to guessing a single redacted word/phrase where the length of the word is revealed? (Such as in a PDF where the rectangle is automatically drawn around the characters.)

I've wanted to build something that would if nothing else run through a list of guesses (assuming the font is the same as surrounding text) and see if any of them could match size-wise, but not sure of an easy way to deal with the PDF part of it.
While I do have some experience with kernel code, if there isn't something jumping right at me after some hour of staring at code and maybe inserting some debug statements on a hunch, I might try the other OSes just as a sort of sanity check to see if the issue even exists at all, or if everything works flawlessly. Or maybe it will break in another way and I'll suddenly have a lightbulb moment that helps me identifying the problem better. Could it be a hardware issue? Could it be that just my device is faulty? Just some revisions of it?

Generally I switch between approaches as I see fit, on a hunch you could say. There's no point in banging your head against a wall in some dead end for two hours.
> once the pixels become larger it might be required to cycle through entire words.

That's a clever idea for speeding up this process actually. Instead of guessing a-z for every position, only guess valid word completions. If it doesn't end up giving a good score or the human judges it to be nonsensical, it can fall back to a-z guessing for that word.

A bit similar to my hangman solver (https://lucgommans.nl/p/hangman-solver/), which looks for the only words still possible with the given letters already known, but simpler because you only need prefix matching.

I know you meant it for very strong blurs, and there it is not actually an advantage because you need to go through thousands of words before guessing one (instead of 26×5≃130 guesses, assuming an average word length of ~5), but yeah there you'd have no other choice.
Yes, and the z/OS USS is what I call aggressively POSIX-compliant. Its mission in life is to hurt you with strict adherence to the spec, not ever help you!

If there's any optional part of POSIX, it's not in there. You only get the 'MUST' parts of the base spec. No optional extensions, etc. When you're porting over C code to z/OS USS, you are often surprised when things you assumed were just part of every POSIX implementation aren't there. Fun times for all!
I agree, but I think there is a difference between metrics and having data to investigate. A metric is a value you are tracking over time, but when something changes you will likely need to do an investigation. That investigation might be the raw data, it might be some dynamic queries or it might be other metrics.

Tracking metrics because you think they might be useful in the future for diagnosing other problems doesn't make sense with modern systems as dynamic queries are so fast.
No. The carpenter is entitled to pay for his work.

He's not entitled to additional value the recipient of the work may or may not get from him completing the job, unless he negotiates that up front. It seems likely that no one in their right mind would agree to pay the carpenter profit sharing for every transaction that may occur from that building. They'd find another carpenter.
Does it do this predictively or intuitively somehow? How does it know your password? Is it keeping it as clear text on the client side?
immutable variables isn’t ever a problem. compilers frequently translate programs into SSA form, and they manage to work for all platforms without memory bloat or anything.
No different to the typical AI bro, grifting and selling you their snake oil.
I used to be staff at What.CD, so that's where the info comes from. They had several accounts (which I don't think are a big secret actually, they've been very vocal about being pro-torrent), one of which was a random name that the public didn't know about. If I remember correctly, at least one of their albums was released on What.CD before being officially released to the public, or perhaps at the same time. My memory is a bit fuzzy on this.
> companies are looking to make sure the new version is “updated to include representative modern workloads, like JavaScript frameworks”

The benchmark should represent an average website of current day, that is visited by most users: cookie banner popups, newsletter modals, auto-playing videos, various ads, bit of content and many third party scripts loaded on startup. Running multiple instances of ToDo app written on various JavaScript frameworks has no value for typical user. Media playback, video conferencing and upcoming new CSS features should be benchmarked as well.
Even though I'm crypto agnostic, I'm diversified. I have some funds in Coinbase, but I don't really want to go to the trouble of maintaining a hardware wallet.

I'm way more likely to lose a wallet or mismanage it than not. As an anecdote, I had several million dogecoin from 2014 or so as a joke, which I think amounted to several hundred thousand dollars just a few years back. I couldn't find, figure out, or be bothered with moving it to an exchange before that blew over.

As for Binance, I had funds in it too before they closed their core operations in the US, and getting it back out was an extreme hassle.

As far as the substance of your comment, you'll find that my comment history is pro-Democracy, pro-Capitalism, so I'm not sure what you're on about.
Aww, look at you making a throwaway to respond to my comments, it's cute :3

E: Removed the troll feeding bits.
Pretty much all of it. Rust has immutable variables but also has mutable ones, and is not "designed around immutable variables". Additionally, immutable variables don't generally need to be "copied all over the place" . Rust is not particularly memory inefficient compared with C++.
I just tried it in my own renderer (that uses tiny-skia) to compare performance, but unfortunately forma is still lacking some features to do a proper comparison (strokes, the ability to scale shapes up instead of only down (?????), rendering without clearing).
Do you think Binance will colapse?
He just defeated your argument, so now you're telling everyone to be helpless.

Brilliant.
