The most famous tech companies are constantly trying to outdo each other so when one is forced to do cuts, the others try to have a bigger cut. Midsize companies see this and realize that, while they can't play at the same scale, they can look cool too by following suit. Small companies look at this and realize it's an opportunity to finally get the staff that wasn't available before. And while the process is disruptive to lives and productivity, those small companies grow just a bit more competitive with their bigger brethren.
It's not a question of whether you can, it's a question of whether pumped hydro is cheaper than lithium ion batteries, and that price is heavily influenced by the available geography and water supply. Wherever pumped hydro is cheaper, then by all means, we should build a bunch of it.

The local population was more than happy to set up their own autonomous zone after the central government began discriminating against Russian-speaking citizens, even passing laws against the use of the Russian language. Putin actually asked them not to hold referendums on multiple occasions— it was only until he realized late last year that Zelensky is totally controlled by the right sector and would happily sacrifice his people for US geopolitical goals that Putin acknowledged that area could never be safe for Russian-speaking people with Kiev in charge.

Simply writing down the steps involved to solve a problem and then breaking the steps into smaller and smaller steps until they are ridiculously simple (as in “pickup the mobile phone” and “call #”) often helps me getting things done when I have way too much on my plate and/or the problems I am facing are too overwhelming.
> Please show your reasoning. I could be talking about legal responsibility, not moral responsibility.

You're saying you suddenly and silently shifted the conversation to "legal responsibility" - something which nobody mentioned at all, including you - and didn't reference it?

Even if that were plausible (it's not), that would be a form of moralizing.

Or both, at the same time.
I don't disagree that there are more-elegant proposed reactors with more-inherent safety, but NuScale has an incremental/conservative design with 20 years of effort behind it. We need to fight climate change immediately, and prioritize "good enough and politically feasible" over "technically optimal" solutions.
The counterargument is that this selects people who are similar to that one guy, produces inconsistent results, and doesn't scale up well.

You can even just draw obvious lines between “hmm is anything ever really enforced on individuals in companies”. The answer is, generally no. In large companies it’s nearly always no.
So it's supposed to be impossible to get the 3 hours or 9TWh (12 years of 2022 production) of battery needed to shift the grid to >99% renewables (including biogas from waste plant matter, planned HVDC, and existing hydro for dispatch) with the much larger than current lithium production that is already pipelined, but scaling Uranium production and the entire reactor and enrichment supply chain 10x with no significant pipelined expansion is trivial?

What happens when the known Uranium resources run out 12 years after that?

Interesting, I didn't consider the hash collision angle, as I figured they're normally rare enough to discard as part of average runtime calculations.

It does seem to line up with the explanation of the algorithm though - the less candidate palindromes the better as it enters the linear runtime branch less often.

I'm not well versed on hash collisions but I imagine it's kind of awkward to do in this scenario - the strings will have to initially be palindromes themselves to get to a decent length to scale the comparison's runtime (why compare str1 + x and str2 + y when str1 and str2 don't match). As posted towards the end of tfa, an example worst case in put is something like aaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
Its just that you moved from an environment where you knew the product back to front and how everything fit together really well to a new environment that you understood less.

I work on two microservice cloud systems at the moment: the first I was the first person working on it day one, and have been involved in every aspect including devops & support for the past seven years - I'm far and away the most producive developer on this system.

With the second system, there's another developer that's driven the team for the past few years and designed everything from the start, and they are easily the most productive person on this team. Probably 3x everyone else and its a strong team.

Its just that I know the second system less - I know roughly how everything works, but haven't poked around in every corner of the system like I have the first. For larger systems this kind of knowledge can take years to build up.

What about this study[1], which fed twin pairs a carefully controlled diet, but nonetheless resulted in huge variances in weight gain ("The mean weight gain was 8.1 kg, but the range was 4.3 to 13.3 kg") between twin pairs? Surely if your body weight was determined by CICO, we'd expect everyone to gain the same amount of weight given the same calories/diet?

To code generation writers:

I highly recommend not having source code in the specification file and instead generate an interface that is called by the generated code.

It allows you to use the same specification file to generate many different languages. Something I need all the time at work (C++/C#/Java/Typescript).

I ended up having to write my own code generators to do this since all the generators I looked at also copied the (really bad) Yacc/Bison/ANTLR/… design choice of having source code in the spec files.

Lithium is not, in fact, the only viable battery chemistry. CAT-L, the world's largest maker of batteries, is today ramping up production of sodium batteries. Numerous other chemistries are also being fielded, at $billions scale.

Pumped hydro storage is not, in fact, geographically dependent: there are a lot of hills (which you knew). Compressed air is used in production (which you knew). Hydrogen electrolysis is operated in the millions of tons (which you knew).

I use GrapheneOS too. I had that same Play Store prompt to install the purple AR app. "Google Services for AR" or something. For me, I'm pretty sure it was a dependency for Snapchat.

From my limited Googling at the time it seems you will only be prompted to install it if you already have an app installed that depends on it for certain functionality. Do you have any apps that might want to use the camera with AR-like effects?

Personally, I also stubbornly pressed "decline" on all the requests to install it. However, I gave in once I realised that:

1. I was probably the one that caused the install prompt (by installing Snapchat)

2. The shadiness of the app would likely not be worse than the other similar Google services I had already voluntarily installed

3. It would likely not be active except for when I'm using Snapchat

Now I haven't thought about that hassle in weeks.
Indeed, and as such deserves full credit even before clicking through to the article: "As We May Think" by Vannevar Bush, who apparently was pretty amazing in general; e.g.:

"during World War II headed the U.S. Office of Scientific Research and Development (OSRD), through which almost all wartime military R&D was carried out, including important developments in radar and the initiation and early administration of the Manhattan Project. He emphasized the importance of scientific research to national security and economic well-being, and was chiefly responsible for the movement that led to the creation of the National Science Foundation" [0]

> not everyone knows chess notation by heart.

I am going to agree, and hopefully clarify the point with a slightly different example. While I know how the notation works, I cannot figure out where a particular square is at a glance. This meant a lot of time squinting at the tiny, low contrast labels at the edges of the board. It made the problem a lot harder to solve since my concentration was constantly being disrupted by figuring out where the next destination is, rather than focusing upon the pattern of the knight's moves.
