They're all hypocrites. But the final hurdle of ratifying an amendment requires 3/4 of state legislatures to be on board. And while the rural gerrymander projects have been alarmingly successful, that's still pretty far off.

The author is a shipbuilder who wants to use shipyards to mass produce large reactors. This is a truly great idea. I just wish he focused on regular water cooled reactors for this first rather than highly exotic fluid fuel ones.

I used VPN.ac because they aren’t based in 14-eyes. They have OpenVPN, Wireguard, and other protocols available.

I’ve had no trouble with stability, nor any complaints the entire time of my 2-year subscription and I was connected to it probably 90% of the time. They would be my first choice if I wanted a VPN provider.
I’ve been reading “Notes on the Synthesis of Form” recently after seeing it mentioned in an Alan Kay talk. I had never heard of it before. Such an incredible book. Such an elegant argument showing how tightly coupled systems are inherently unstable. I wish I had read it twenty years ago. Made me wonder how much of the idea of structured programming was inspired by it.
Qt Creator has been just fine for me. Granted, it may take a few seconds to generate syntax highlighting, but it seems very usable to me.

> 1. If you don't encounter any trouble daily driving GNU/Linux, that is actually a sign of inexperience. That or you're doing nothing interesting.

I do loads of interesting stuff on linux, I use it for research, numerical computing, biology etc. None of these things cause linux to skip a beat.

> 2. If principles mattered more than convenience, most Linux users would be on FreeBSD or OpenBSD instead of GNU/Linux. Either follow your arguments to their conclusions, or understand that Windows/macOS users are doing the same thing as you—making practical tradeoffs.

The world is not black and white! There are degrees to which people behave, and there is a spectrum of behaviour that abides by certain principals and doesn't. I had someone say to me recently that they didn't believe there are 'ethical people', instead people make use of the opportunities presented to them. This isn't true and is more a sign of how they've justified their own life choices.

> 3. Unless you are doing tons of system administration on your daily driver, most of your time is spent in applications, and the choice of operating system doesn't matter too much.

I, like many people, tend to use more than one application, so I find the OS does matter. On Windows 10, when I hit the start bar, and start typing the name of an application I want to launch, I really do care when the bar sits there loading up, scraping internet data to show me its suggested apps and adverts.

This line of reasoning makes no sense to me. If the government was better at building things than "profiteers," why shouldn't we just have the government build everything? Why shouldn't the government make cell phones and iPads? Why does Silicon Valley even exist?

In fact, we tried your proposal at scale. Nearly every developed country privatized electricity generation in the 1980s. Many countries, like India, still have state-owned power companies. If they were better, we would know.

I agree with huge buildings causing a stress response and modern architecture being generally ugly.

The nicest looking places are smaller in scope with buildings around 4-5 stories, densely packed together which also makes them walkable.

Ask HN: Is there a great DAG framework for Python to write a synth-patch GUI?
For synth patches, we love our Direct-Acyclic Graph apps like Max/MSP, PureData, Axoloti, SpinCAD Designer, etc. But most of these are native apps or Java. How can I write "one DAG editor to rule them all" that can target multiple DSP targets, microcontrollers, raw C code, other APIs with a simple-ish plug-in archtecture. Most of them time, these apps are written by passionate synthesists and hence the limited portability, but how would a hardcore CS approach this?
I used to buy into some of this JFK stuff when I was a X-Files watching teenager. What really burst the bubble for me was a documentary I watched where a team of snipers and forensic scientists re-created the exact shot with mannequins with bones and ballistic gel. They didn't even have to try that hard. Using the same rifle and ammo, the first shot they tried resulted in almost the same exact trajectory. I can't find a clip of that exact documentary (circa 2004-2006), but there are others who have done the same. You don't have to look hard to find very comprehensive and scientific explanations for the exact trajectory of that specific shot. But you do have to look very hard to find an actual explanation for why it is impossible that is beyond the level of "golly gee folks, I done shot lots of guns in my life and let me tell you, it ain't possible."

F# is nicer than the alternatives if you need to be (or want to be) on the Microsoft ecosystem but there are some things I miss when I use it from OCaml, like modules and functors. It also doesn't support named arguments, which are a fairly trivial thing that drastically cuts down the bugspace and increase usability for me.

I also don't think F# is as fast as OCaml?

(Presuming there are some linux experts here) Slightly off-topic question but does anyone have any strong opinions about d-bus as an IPC mechanism? Is it actually used much or do most people prefer other lower level Linux/Posix IPC mechanisms (shm, pipes etc)? Does it have any glaring disadvantages compared to e.g. Android's Binder, or is that only more widely used because Google enforces it?
Basically any form of sugar is to put it in simple words a poison. As far as I understand every living organism produces glucose, which if I'm not mistaken is the fuel of life. So if human bodies already produce glucose there shouldn't be any need for anyone to ingest sugar in any of its forms. I have read many years ago a very a interesting book backed by scientific data about this topic but I can't remember the name of it.

What surrounding chemicals? The mitigating factors in fruit is that the fructose is interspersed with plant matter that isn't pure sugar and occasionally the non-fructose plant matter contains other nutrients. The plant matter allows for slower absorption of fructose, thus blood glucose levels rise slower and the peak might be lower. However, there's nothing inately bad or good about the "surrounding" chemicals - if you eat too much fruit you'll have similar health consequences as if you were to consume similar amounts to high fructose corn syrup. Swap out fruit for fruit juice, the outcomes will be more similar still.

Measuring cost by installed capacity is highly misleading because solar and wind need storage to be reliable sources. The cost of storage dwarfs the other costs, and battery prices have stagnated.

I think that fission will solve some of its long lived depleted fuel problems sooner than fusion will(!)

Just like with climate change, for nuclear we need to forge ahead with our best knowledge, engineering and belief in the future and our competency to solve problems. Let's use the best of our problem solving ability. To decline to do what we think is the best just because of long-held stereotypes, that just holds us back.

tl;dr safe, cheap, quick. pick one and a half.
It's not magic, when you build series like France did in the 70s and 80s (I think they were building 8 or 9 reactors a year), the time and cost reduce. When every project is a unique design, they cost a lot and have lots of delays. Wind and solar would be much more expensive without economies of scales (and if the cost of dealing with their volatility would be factored in).
We have a list of maintainers, not all of whom can merge, so I apologize for getting this terminology incorrect.

Yes, frequent contributors.
Everything Git is kind of hard to understand, but once it "clicks", you kinda start thinking it was easy all along.

My suggestion is: before every rebase:

- mkdir patches

- cd patches

- git format-patch HEAD~30 (in case you had 30 commits on top of the main branch but you can also "git format-patch $SHA" to get patches up to that SHA, not including)

- git pull --rebase

Then, if the rebase fails:

- git checkout -b branchname-rebaseattempt origin/branch

- make

- git am 0001*

- make

- git am 0002*

- git am --abort

- etc

This way you have a backup copy of every one of your commits as a patch file, and you can better understand and fix your conflict step-by-step without being "locked" in the process of a git-rebase. Sometimes when there are simple conflicts I edit the patch files themselves before applying.
This just shows how bad table sugar really is (as well as HFCS for that matter).

Would a workaround be that whenever the kernel detects this happening (and it did, it dmesg printed it) that it somehow increases an internal counter so on next reboot there will be more resources?

This would require the kernel being able to either update its own command line somehow, or having some permanent storage somewhere it could store it.

Or this could all be done by systemd - detect that message, increase the resource, next reboot will fix it.

By this definition any catchy or interesting title is clickbait, regardless of how descriptive or accurate. "Nixon Resigns" will certainly bait me into clicking the article for more details, even though it's basically leading with the punchline. For the term to not be meaningless I think some level of deception or withholding important info has to be involved, "Nixon Made a Shocking Decision....You'll Never Guess What It Is!!!" is clickbait.
It's worth noting that a lot of therapists (especially solo or small-practice therapists) don't take any insurance at all, which makes visits de facto out-of-network.

Folks on an HDHP or who don't get through their deductible most years would probably end up spending most, if not all, of this out of pocket. Even if they would get something back they have to do all the dealing with the insurer.. and that's assuming that they understand superbills and all the BS that insurance companies make you wade through...

In short, $300 just clears all of this out of the way. You go; you get reimbursed for the visit; you get to decide what to do next.

Germany was quite advanced when it came to technology but then the drive to make more of it somehow stopped.

It has always been incredibly sad to me that the German ID card (Personalausweis) has an RFID chip inside with trust zones, certificates, authorization features, and much more and just never had been used. Like at all except for getting cigarettes at vending machines.

12 years after the first RFID Personalausweis had been issued it is only possible to register your car in some cities. Maybe there are other minor uses but it's negligible.

It's a very cool technology with a certificate authority and cryptographically secured claims for various things (proving you are over 18 without revealing your DOB, only giving out the name and address, authenticating as a German citizen, pseudonymity with separate identities for each service you use etc.). All functionality is also available for use over the internet.

The German Wikipedia has a good overview: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personalausweis_(Deutschland...

> uncompetitive ... cost of the steam side ... it ... makes a loss.

Huh? Whatever gave you idea that electricity production needs to be a profitable endeavor? The considerations for choosing technologies should be availability, sustainability, safety (of the plant, the population, the environment), etc. - the price of electricity can be set arbitrarily afterwards, and if there's a loss then taxes will cover it, or subsidies + taxes to cover those.

So, the question of whether to use steam or not is not a question of profit-and-loss.
