Here's some grounding in reality:

- Russia mines 5% of the world's Uranium.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranium_mining

- The reason we only use less than 5% of the Uranium fuel, so throwing away 95%, is that the fuel is so cheap (= abundant) that it is cheaper to just throw it away

- Fuel costs are basically a negligible component of the lifecycle costs of a nuclear reactor
As someone in Germany but not German, this aspect of Germany is bizarre to me. You have green energy already and instead of maintaining it or building it out, you build extra coal plants, mine more villages, but shut the green energy down? Huh, interesting choice.

I understand the principles behind closing it. The old reactors are not the latest and greatest, there is this fear similar to the fear of flying (you're not in control and it has large consequences) even though it's the safest thing to do, and of course it's not technically renewable. What baffles me is that people don't see that this is still better than the alternative coal and gas plants that kill people on an ongoing basis from air pollution and global warming.

But you also have higher Linux, PGP, Threema, OpenStreetMap, etc. usages than any other country I know of. The "only the purest ideal is good enough, shut everything else down" mentality has its upsides in many (most?) situations.
How do you deal with a large modal on a small screen then?

I live in the UK and can’t stand that crackpot layout that thinks the paragraph mark and the negation sign trump bacquote and tilde, so I buy my laptops from the US, except for Apple who allow you to choose your keyboard layout as an option.
Could this be a distraction from train on fire that rains hydrochloric acid on entire town? For how large disaster it is, it's completely absent from the news.
As a Pole I always found the German politicians’ stance suspicious. It has so obviously played right into over-reliance on gas from the east. Which is a far more dangerous and scary perspective than a single potential accidental melt down. And straight up corrupt considering the sheer scale of eastbound cash flow.

This news does go to show that perhaps the Japanese have managed to set fear aside. It is an engineering problem, might as well be scared to fly.

Would you say stances have changed at all in Germany from your POV since last year?
>How is nuclear fuel any different in this respect?

We're already talking about what we will do once major reserves of coal and oil run dry. It's obviously not going to happen any time soon, maybe even not this century, but I'm not aware of similar sentiments being thrown around about nuclear fuel such as uranium and plutonium.

Nuclear power also does not belch out greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere unlike coal and oil. If we want power generation without greenhouse gas emissions, nuclear power is one of the answers.

>I don't see how nuclear solves this problem.

Keeping currently active plants active for longer means the immediate need for power is better satisfied and the need for /more/ power in the short-term is delayed.

This plan also calls for new plants which will replace the generation capacity lost from outgoing plants (coal/oil or nuclear) and hopefully satisfy power demands today and tomorrow.
More understandable if you already know Javascript of course. If you don't, of course you'd be confused why const is used (it's technically as if the constant were a pointer to a function, but in practice a function and a pointer to a function are one and the same in JS).

useState is one of those things that's a React specific concept, yes, but the rest of the code is very familiar to non-React frontend developers in general.
I agree! I must have misread or misunderstood the context.
Write them or LTT about, maybe you'll get one.
Why does a childcare worker need a college education?
As a non-ds person, but that enjoys tinkering with data science stuff, I'm not a big fan of having to code in jupyterlab.

But with no proper gpu locally I'm kinda forced to use something remote. And getting DS dependencies set up correctly is almost impossible, so even if I had a GPU I'd probably anyways end up with something remote working out of the box.

I've tried to connect to them with Pycharm, and even downloaded a trial of Dataspell, their new IDE for DS. But I can't really get the integration to work. I'd like to do everything from the IDE, using the interpreter and power from the remote server. But feels like were not there yet, so many small bugs.
That would make tidying up rogue tasks impossible. Of course we all like to think we do cancellation perfectly, but it's nice to know that the task scheduler has your back.

Edit: I don't quite understand why a user would expect a task to remain live _after_ the last reference to it has been dropped...

I think what Kent is saying there is that he knows which tests he can skip writing because they provide little value. If you're as experienced and knowledgable as Kent then that's probably true.

For the rest of us it's better to write too many tests than too few. You might waste some time, but that a smaller problem than accidentally skipping a test that was actually useful and pushed your code in a better direction than you'd have gone without it.
The worst part is how everyone is allowed to block deployment of renewable energies like the Windmills, because it is not nice for the landscape, it is noisy or whatever.

In other EU countries it is done, period, no one gets asked for their opinion.
There are also government sites which really need to support all browsers since time immemorial because many people will access them from old and outdated devices.
Do you think we evolved fear by accident? If I were handling a venomous snake I'd be scared to be bit and rightly so. There's no reason to be proud of being heedless of risk.
It was a terror weapon, and only by suppressing news of any incidents involving the devices did it "fail."
Perhaps I’m not fully up to speed with everything Jupyter does. It strikes me as a REPL with a canvas in what is basically MDX. What am I overlooking?

You are being exceedingly pedantic in interpreting their wording.
Accusing the Greens of being ideology driven when they have shown to be pragmatic is a joke. Not sticking to any ideology is the reason their politicians top the popularity polls.

And wanting something back is one thing, getting something back another. If you want nuclear power back, you must build new plants - good luck, it will only take 20 years!

The Green-led BMWK explained in detail the many real hurdles that come with prolonged use of nuclear power. Strangely, I have never seen any oh-so rational nuclear power lover dissect their arguments.
Imagine the sheer volume of solar panels needed to supply even a fraction like 1/5th of the energy demand. You don't manufacture and ship that to Germany in a few big orders, that's a decades-long process. By the time that's done, the oldest panels are up for renewal. Any country that is not producing solar panels (and that isn't a place like Norway or Iceland with hydro or geothermal plentiful) is effectively relying on foreign 'fuel' as well. It's almost as though we're going to have to learn to live together on planet A.

Now you're asking that question, you might also ask why we saw more news stories days ago about this derailment in the European media than we did in the US.
space dumping ?
At least in most Western countries, we have explicitly outlawed the same medicines (Anabolic/Androgenic Steroids) for non-trans people without a physical medical need. In other words, a man who feels dysphoric about his body not being masculine enough cannot access the same drugs that a (biological) woman who feels dysphoric about her body not being masculine enough can.

I'd guess there are biological females who genuinely benefit from transitioning with testosterone, much like how there are many males who benefit from it due to hypogonadism/similar issues. I would have a serious problem if people started pushing testosterone on vulnerable young boys and telling them it would fix their problems, while vehemently attacking anyone who remotely questions those claims. How you think that's acceptable in girls, and compare it to informed adults getting botox for wrinkles or rogaine for hair loss is astounding.

None of the drugs you listed have significant effects lasting longer than a few months after their usage is stopped. With regard to plastic surgery, I'm not aware of any widely practiced cosmetic surgery that permanently and drastically changes one's entire endocrine system. If you're talking about cosmetic surgeries like breast implants, I don't think anyone has a problem with either trans or non-trans adults spending their money to look the way they want to. There is certainly no law to prevent it.

Only 60 million Americans have a 401k.

Also, the idea that an American owning a portfolio of stocks in a 401k means that they are responsible for all the immoral actions taken by each company is absolutely and totally ridiculous.
If nuclear power requires more vigilance or competence from the people running it to avert disaster then that's a real demerit.
I'm Aussie too, but I'm not optimistic about the political direction in any Western country.
Why would I switch to this?

I'm a huge fan of Jupyter, I use Jupyter Lab as my primary IDE, but a little confused here. Maybe if I frequently connect to different servers? The python env discovery looks cool, but nb_conda_kernels does this for me now.
Thanks, that makes sense.

I've read about self-supervised learning, which I think is what you're describing, but is any research being done on continuous self-training models that _do_ generate new data? I'm curious if/when we'll reach that state.
This right here is a great project. Keep it up! Felt super relaxed after this.

Luckily I've never had to bother with supporting Safari, but isn't one of the only good things about dealing with it that customers generally update Safari relatively quickly?

I don't really understand the Safari release schedule myself (browser updates only seem to come with combined operating system updates?) so I don't know what's keeping users from updating their browsers. Are these Apple users all running vulnerable browsers for some reason?

I find it nice that Safari <15.4 is still considered a valid target for your company, given that its market share is about that of Firefox (https://caniuse.com/usage-table). Must be hell to develop for, though.

Perhaps the upcoming inclusion of non-Safari browsers on iOS will help users stuck on old versions of the OS use a normal browser so these problems can go away. Chrome and Edge manage to release monthly updates that almost everyone installs so hopefully that option comes available to iOS users as well.
This is how we end up with insufferable things like type "number" inputs and alert and most of the other baked in things.

They're halfway to what you want but can't go further because everyone has slightly different needs and browsers are already complex enough without baking in prebuilt components for everything from data tables to carousels to modals to drop-down menus.

Also, the list of things that bug you that a language needs describes pretty much every programming language in existence.

Stop spreading disinformation.

Reduction has been minimal, and now that we no longer have the Russian gas that we used to substitute coal, we are turning coal plants back on. While at the same time shutting down clean nuclear.

The mind boggles.

To be fair, the amount of money in uranium and refining is orders of magnitude less than the amount of money in natural gas (which is one of the arguments pro nuclear), so your counter argument isn’t so strong either
Just the number 1 most important spec of any large screen laptop: the weight?
Unbranded laptops are something I'd also prefer, even though the corporate environment you're describing is very employee-hostile when it comes to technology choice. (Sorry about your situation.)

I know that Schenker sells some of their laptops with their logo on the laptop lid by default and offers a choice to remove the logo for an additional charge. Example (VIA 15 Pro): https://bestware.com/en/schenker-via-15-pro-m22.html

This option is possible because the laptop is a branded version of an ODM laptop (Tongfang PF5NU1G).

On a side note, I was curious to know the design story behind the Meta logo.

Found the page below explaining the branding, and how the logo can be used in motion. But why would they choose to display the animated logo as a 97 megabyte animated GIF? I know times are tough and people need to be laid off, but I suggest retaining at least one person who understands why it's not cool to post a 97 MB GIF of your main logo.

You're overlooking the power that a preconfigured REPL with a persisted canvas integrated with markdown brings to the table.

It is a really powerful toolset, and building your own environment from separate parts is not trivial; so having it preconfigured in a standard way that others can reuse is no small matter.

I prefer online notebooks with a functional-reactive behaviour, such as ObservableHQ (which is JavaScript-based, rather than python); but Jupyter was the first popular one, so it hit hard.

It was Ms Merkel who captured the Green Party's long standing stance of zero nuclear power after the Fukushima event - like she did with political positions of other opponents as a general strategy.

Today, it's Mr Habeck who'd be responsible for extending lifetimes of nuclear power plants. But of course his investigation into viability of doing just that was bound to come to negative conclusions - everything else would be political suicide for a member of a party that started life out of the "Atomkraft? Nein danke" movement late 70s/early 80s.

Decisions elsewhere in the world, even in Japan, don't matter, co2, geopolitics, energy-intensive industries, and emobility at stupid prices be damned - the fundamentalist Green Party and their dangerously half-educated electorate are afraid of "the rays."
Rust works great in Jupyter.
> They are not diagnosing anything, treating anything, or prescribing anything, and there is such a shortage of them locally that dentists are having to send their patients needing their teeth cleaned to other dentists who have a hygienist already on their staff.

They are cleaning your teeth. This means that they need to have understanding of hygiene and sterilization. There are regularly incidents where someone in a dentists office sterilizes something wrong and some disease gets transmitted.

Do NOT assume that nurses, hygienists, etc. understand things even as basic as germ theory and its implications. Do NOT assume that laypeople understand just how bad industrial chemicals can be. etc.

A 2 year degree barely teaches enough for people to be functional in jobs that can affect someone else's health.

I assume this would be slightly more clear as "aren't tracked by radar anymore [by their controllers]" -- who does what tracking and how, of course, wildly varies. (Not trying to be overly pedantic, just saying out loud my internal thought reply.)

> The majority of Germans want nuclear power back.

Not the ones I talk to. It's not like they're energy or nuclear experts, working in a security consultancy, but they're also not uneducated or unfamiliar with looking things up on the internet. Every single one of them will, when directly asked, say "yeah okay coal first but then nuclear should close too!". Not a mention of the reliance on gas (until one year ago, of course), let alone that they would say "as soon as there is enough renewable energy available, we should close nuclear". The indoctrination runs deeper than the fundamental knowledge that we should build out renewables before we can turn off things we don't like without losing the power grid.

I think AfD wants it (the local racism party), which is possibly the worst kind of advertising one could do, regardless of who's actually right.
The hard facts are that Russia processes half of the world's uranium and no country, not even the US, could sanction their nuclear energy sector. This is the reality, not your fuel efficiency and breeder reactor hopium.

I’m relieved to hear that. It’s easy to get the impression that many children are now starting the process with hormones and whatnot, without too many barriers in place or a sufficient waiting period. It’s probably the most extreme cases that get the spotlight.
SASS/SCSS helps. CSS variables would work too, but they're a but unwieldy and using tons of calc() isn't great for performance.
We are totally clueless about the PRC's objective to say whether they erred.

One plausible (though entirely speculative) explanation could be they wanted the US to react this way. Now we will waste our military resources responding to these balloons and they in turn will learn about our military readiness. They could be intentionally probing and start sending smaller and smaller balloons to figure out where our detection limit is. They could want to understand how information flows and decisions are made by our government and have already tapped into other intelligence signals that this pen test is helping them monitor.

Again all speculation. But my fundamental point is you don't know their intention to know if they erred.
Well, you know Japan is just acting like that because they didn’t have a Fukushima like Germant. Oh, wait!

On a more serious note:

Since the beginning of the Ukraine-Russian war, Germany fully returned 19 coal-fired power units with a total generating capacity of 7.3 GW to the electricity market:
