I think most people are reacting to the impedance mismatch of normal software lifecycles versus sticky databases. Naive or legacy users and documentation use the database as the system of record for the custom code, rather than as an execution environment provisioned from a real system of record like a source control system.

Where it gets even more tricky is not just stored procedures but application-specific functions embedded in views, or triggers running custom functions. It's no longer just a library of functions you can choose to call (or not) durng a query, but code that runs on its own based on clients queries that never directly mention the functions.

The same goes for schema management, and I think that is a big reason why so many developers fixate on "schemaless" approaches. They want to pretend that the database exists in a static way outside the software lifecycle, just like they ignore the filesystem and operating system and treat it as an unchanging abstraction.
Europe has a large dependence on Russia for nuclear technology. There are also Russian reactors in Europe. The countries who currently lead the deployment of nuclear technology are China and Russia, two authoritarian countries.

all nuclear power stations emit small amounts of liquid and gas radwaste as part of normal operation

mostly tritium and tritiated water that has been activated in the coolant circuits (practically impossible to separate)

but some other isotopes (carbon-14, caesium-137)

here's the environmental permit for the UK's most modern power station: https://consult.environment-agency.gov.uk/nuclear/consultati...

solid radwaste is kept under lock and key though

and the total volume of radioactive waste produced is WAY WAY WAY less than that produced burning fossil fuels

(turns out coal is reasonably radioactive)

Well both side complain about truth and disinformation, and this affirmation is far from reality.
Because our for-profit energy sector has decided not to invest in nuclear, even with government subsidies. This is basic business. Are you as the CEO of an energy company going to invest tens of billions of dollars into a plant that won't be operational for decades or are you just going to stand up more wind farms where you can start realizing a profit the next year? If you want nuclear, you simply cannot have an energy grid dependent on companies who's goal is profit. This is why all of the talk about how great nuclear is simply doesn't matter. The market doesn't support it and we're ruled by the markets.

Lol, coding was the most difficult thing for me to learn. I didn’t learn design but did take a 1 month class (40 hours per week with a teacher + 20 hours of self-study). It was by far an easier month than my first programming course.

Everyone is good at learning different things
Wind goes well with gas turbine generators, since they can match their output to demand and the supply of wind. Every watt-hour of wind energy you capture, is a watt-hour of gas you don't burn. Worst case scenario is no wind and you're burning gas -- which is already a main electric source.

Taken too far you would get into this weird situation of over-spending for capacity, and having surplus wind energy when it's windy, while still burning gas when it's not. But as a moderate contribution to a grid, 10 - 30% of supply perhaps, especially where gas is a primary source already, it makes a lot of sense, in some places.

I hope no one expects to actually run everything on 100% wind power.

Then I could say I am a designer who codes. I learned by myself HTML and CSS, and eventually JavaScript, PHP and some Python (when Python 2 was still a thing!) even before beginning to study graphic design.

I guess it's great in the sense of being able to "speak" designer language and developer language. I have learned from people who codes like breathing and I do hope they have learned one thing or two from me about design.

But right now I am being miserable in trying to get a job focused on coding. As I don't have any real world experience with React (nor Vue, Angular nor Svelte), I haven't landed any gig. And I suspect that the fact I don't have a CS major also doesn't make things better - at least here I feel like employers who see a CV of a graphic designer who says they can code, will say something on the lines of "bullshit! Only CS people can code!"
Windows File Explorer does a lot of extra work to get a sense of file sizes and other metadata to try to keep the UI looking fresh/interesting/useful to someone watching the job in real time.

If you need to seriously move/copy lots of files or lots of data in Windows it is generally a good idea to use shell commands. Robocopy [1], especially, is one of the strongest tools you can learn on Windows. (It gets very close to being Windows' native rsync.)

We know that isn't the case because we can see code being reproduced even with comments, and Github has been open about the fact that they used everything they had in training.

That said, lets say there's a new model that explicitly excluded closed source and copyleft licenses. Well, the MIT, MPL, Apache, BSD- they all say you can't strip their licensing off.

Okay, so to get to the spirit of your question, lets say Github managed to program a model that worked using only their own code or code that was explicitly put in the public domain. If Github managed to reproduce code that wasn't in the training set, then it can't be accused of copying it. At that point the argument could be made that it independently created it.

At the same time algorithms can't be copyrighted, but implementations of an algorithm can be, so if Github was basically just spitting out an algorithm that just happened to be implemented similarly to how some other code it wasn't trained on implemented it, then I would say there was no copyright violation.

Current renewables also externalise a lot of factors. Any production at scale externalises a lot of factors.

Unfortunately, the discussion is so emotionally and politically charged, that I'm afraid no one is actually properly calculating all the costs, and risks etc.
That doesn't matter because it's not like you can double renewables to increase redundancy (no wind is no wind no matter how many turbines you have)- you need another more expensive energy source as well.
There's no central authority in Islam like the clergy in Catholism.

However there are legal schools and councils that people trust. Legal schools (or fiqh) were established by famous scholars that nearly everyone recognizes as an expert and were carried on by their students.

From a political standpoint, a lot of Muslims defer to Saudi Arabia because they are the current caretakers of Mecca and Medina.

But generally speaking for everyday normal Muslims they go with whatever their local imam says and go with whatever method the imam used because they are usually the most knowledgeable person around on such matters.

Here's the problem with your "admins are so absolutely necessary" argument.

Per https://mndaily.com/193678/uncategorized/statistics-show-inc... between 1999 and 2010 admin jobs increased 75% across universities.

Per https://yaledailynews.com/blog/2021/11/10/reluctance-on-the-... over the last 20 years, the number of managerial and professional staff that Yale employs has risen three times faster than the undergraduate student body.

So were universities in 2000 providing unacceptable level of admin service or was the level of service just fine and they got bloated because they could, not because they needed to?
One of the promises for highly educated people (PhDs) who devote their most lucrative years to unprofitable research, is that they will able to do the job when they are very old. Otherwise, the retirement plan is insufficient. I can make several times what I do on the market, so if I'm going to be replaced as soon as it's convenient for the university, then we're going to have a very different relationship that's more about money.
Having been there in the 80s I seem to recall the fear was global cooling, and that we'd all be dead before the turn of the century. Glad they were wrong then. Hopefully, we're wrong now.
It depends on the green, though. Good-quality green tea from China can often withstand higher temperatures or long brewing, to the point where it's normal to just pinch some tea in a mug and refill with hot water throughout the day.
> The sky is falling! The sky is falling! The sky is falling!

> Nobody cares. We're too busy trying to get through our lives. No, I'm not a climate change denier, I'm a climate-change not-care-er. I keep my heat/AC where I'm comfortable. I drive a large comfortable ICE vehicle. Would I buy an EV, solar panel roof, home backup batteries - if they were cheap and as convenient as what I have today? you bet. Persuade me with things that make my life easier, or cost me less than what I have today.

This is the perfect demonstration of the type of attitude that is pervasive among the high energy use, heavy emission segments of humanity. Most people simply do not like to face the consequences of their actions; they believe their lives must be constantly made easier and more comfortable as part of modernity, progress, human development -- whatever you want to call it.

As became evident in the last few years, its far too late to avoid the effects of climate change. Now its a question of how bad it will get. Well as long as this is the prevailing attitude (and while I have no source to say it is, I feel this to be so), we are ensured to have no short term solutions; so we can count on a future with intermittent catastrophe.

What I find most interesting about this wicked problem is that its loudest proponents also make themselves doubly vulnerable by emphasizing the importance of individualism and downplaying the need for communal response. So its interesting to me to see at what threshold the "make my life easier", "I want a big pickup truck", "I deserve comfort" sentiment starts to be the driver of demanding assistance for natural disasters, drought, famine, etc. We are already seeing it happen in parts of the US southwest, in south florida, and to some extent in the California central valley.

Anyways, I would argue its wrong when people describe climate change as a technical or scientific problem. As we can see, its very much a social and cultural issue -- maybe secondarily an economic one. I think the above sentiment provably captures that.
Okay, how about "if you ever install any non-OEM parts in your vehicle, none of our dealers will sell you any other OEM parts or perform any unrelated service on it until you pay to have them all re-replaced with OEM ones again?"

Why are dual class stocks allowed if they are so clearly wrong? Also why do investors buy into companies which have dual class stocks if they are bad?
Companies rely on marketing for everything and "unlimited" vacation is just a marketing gimmick to capture the attention of potential employees. You go to an "all" you can eat buffet but you know that they will object if you actually start eating ridiculous amount. So just from that perspective, "unlimited" is false-advertising and so is "unlimited" vacation.
That argument is not emotional, it is rational: assessment highlights risks.

The quantification of those risks is another matter.

The parallel fact, for example, that nuclear weapons require maintenance, and that maintenance requires budget, may make some shiver - not because of an "emotional" idea. It is because you look.

I don’t know why it’s absurd to compare the Cybertruck (promised, delayed, not released yet) to that kickstarter (promised, delayed, not released yet). They’ve even been announced for similar lengths of time.

As for “full self driving”, those cars are still not fully autonomous. That’s the whole problem that people object to. It doesn’t matter what you call it, but it’s certainly not fully self driving yet. They still routinely fuck up. Also, as I pointed out earlier, being released eventually does not mean it wasn’t right to consider something vaporware at some point (hence the example of Duke Nukem Forever).

It's not a "recompile". JS doesn't get compiled, it may get transpiled or minified. Node.js is only used for sending data over a local websocket from the file system to the browser.

I personally hope that we bring a lawsuit against an LLM company for emitting GPL licensed code and lose. It sets great precedent for FOSS.

Focusing on the GPL license is probably the wrong move. We want to set precedent that _any_ licensed code that is emitted from an LLM is fair game. If an LLM to emits non-FOSS copyrighted code and it's fair game, I can blindly use that implementation in my code, including FOSS code, and everyone wins.

GPL was a clever hack to use copyright against itself with an infectious license. LLMs might be a better hack. Wanting to block this seems short sighted for giving user's agency over machines.

I'd also like to see more patent defenses of GPL licensed code. If you can release a GPL licensed implementation and block non-FOSS rewrites through patents, that's a huge win for software freedom.
> - nuclear plants are very unreliable, we almost got out of power this winter and next winter will be equally tough (only an abnormally hot winter avoid cuts...)

Why we don't talk like that about renewables though? While the nuclear production was down to 65% capacity, renewables were down in the same time to ... 8%.

To be fair, the renewable production was lacking even more than the nuclear one at that time, despite being the worst maintainance event during the past 40 years.
VERY few places are even thinking of banning ICE sales within 5 years - most timelines are 15 years - at which point, if you're looking at realistic projections - you won't even need to ban them. The sales will already be very low (in the places that are thinking about the bans).

The reality of these bans is that exception after exception is tacked on for a long time.

One of the cool things about this type of political maneuver is that it's a bit like the Fed Put. You can get the market to move in the direction you want without actually shooting your bazooka. Just by saying your thinking about banning ICE cars - you're going to get manufacturers and sellers preparing for that and shifting over as much sales as they can to non-ICE cars.
In some places if you have vacation days in your contract then the company is required to pay you out remaining days that you left unused.

It winds up being cheaper for them to offer Unlimited Days* because then they don't pay out un-taken days.

* Subject to manager approval of course. I strongly suspect there is still a target number of days allowed for each employee based on their place in the org, and requests for days past that number will usually be denied unless there are extenuating circumstances.

That's a lot of words. I'll counter with my own shorter list for those without the stamina.

1. Become very strong at raw CSS.

2. Learn how to use your terminal.

3. Start making "polish" PRs in whatever site / app you work on.

4. Pick up skills from engineers organically around you as you clean up the front of the frontend.

5. Learn that design is meant to move, and pick up animation!

If you really learn CSS, like becoming the best person at your company in it, you will become immensely valuable to your team. Every great coding designer I've known got there because they were frustrated their engineering team would miss details from their designs. They learned how to clean up behind them, and then next thing they knew they were delivering coded prototypes, and not designs to their feature teams. They knew static designs would fall apart, and had the stamina to work on the three issues that come up most in web design: text truncation, focus issues and media query issues.

Source. Coding designer that's been at it for 25 years. I've worked at every level of design: from grunt, to open source system-designer, to Head of Design at a public company for a 45 person design team. Gave it all up to get back in the code and hack!

Coding designers are the best! Pair them with a strong visual designer and a patient engineer and you will have an awesome product.

Side note. I've worked in dozens of front-ends over a long career. CSS is the only constant.
