This seems like a basic pros/cons kinda thing? More safety margin means less chance of your reactor blowing up (pro), but it costs more and takes longer to build (con), so you've got to weigh those up and find a sweet spot.
Yeah, people rambling about "system pouring stimulants into people to squeeze productivity out of them" confuse me a lot. I don't want stimulants for work, I do well without them. I want them so I can finally clean up my desk and work there rather than on a sofa with a laptop on my laps before my back breaks! (the one thing that make me miss working in an office :P)
My ex used to give her friends low doses of her ADHD medication for tech interviews and every one of them said the outcome was significantly better than they expected based on other interviews and preparation. I'm not sure what this says about the interview process, but it does indicate that for real-world applications it's more complicated than "stimulant = bad". They say they chose doses that "reflect typical doses in nonmedical settings", but those doses don't reflect what she gave her friends for performance _at all_. Let's reproduce this experiment with starting doses rather than straw-man high doses and see what happens.
Suddenly, a wild John Carmack appears and explains the real reason for the bug ;-)
That increased cost would seep into all non-nuclear projects, too, making them more expensive, and making more of the non-viable.

But having cross-industry standards that are known to work for particular application is usually very helpful. If a government could help that by making large enough contracts, and pushing these standards across connected industries in order to fulfill these contracts, that might be good.
For more context: EPRs are all developed by EDF and Framatome. So this could be another factor explaining that they all have issues, rather than their sheer complexity.
I believe OP is speaking specifically to the IoT space, which is still a bit of a stretch - but slightly more accurate than the massive ARM dominance we're seeing elsewhere.
Do you really believe that it will cost $125, including installation? It’s probably a large multiple of that. Add in the aerodynamics, and it might not pass the cost/benefit analysis.

I don't think they are opposite. There's a difference between rushing to do something, and shortening the feedback loop. It says "slow productivity" but learning enough martial arts in 4 months to look good in a film doesn't sound slow to me, it sounds like he shortened the feedback loop as much as possible by learning every single day instead maybe once a week like a normal person would.
Text objects are cool, but `ca)` would remove the parenthesis too. There's no shorter way to get to `my_func(foo);` when your cursor is at the comma, than using the motion OP indicated.
We make cost-benefit tradeoffs on regulation all the time.

The EPA uses a value of 7.2 million dollars (2006 dollars) for a life saved [1]:

So if adding guards to trucks would save, say, 50% of the lives lost in underride crashes, that would give you a benefit of 200 * 7.2 million * (inflation adjustment). You'd also want to add in the benefits of reduced non-fatal injuries. But for the purposes of argument, let's imagine the benefits of imposing this regulation are roughly 1 billion dollars a year.

All the costs you're talking about are measurable. It's not that hard to then figure out the costs of imposing the regulation and see whether the benefits outweigh the costs.

And this is one of the simpler cases where there aren't complicating factors like privacy or liberty at stake. You're not requiring truck drivers or trucking companies to change their behaviour. All you're asking them to do is fit a couple of extra pieces of steel to their trailers.

From what I recall, the ESP8266 was originally just a module designated to provide WiFi capabilities to other circuits, but over time, hobbyists discovered that it had much more potential. Its incredibly low cost sparked its popularity. Espressif did an excellent job of designing the ESP32 to accommodate the demands of the emerging audience. But I could be mistaken; I might be missing a part of the story.

> The ongoing US-China chip war has created a situation where users hesitate to use Chinese chips, wary of ending up like Huawei's customers. Without this scenario, Espressif chipsets might have enjoyed much greater popularity.

These chips are intricate enough to potentially contain backdoors. While it is something I never thought about with respect to Espressif, it does seem plausible that they could be a target.
In Dr. Wetterhahn's case, it wasn't a leak and it wasn't lead. It was a spill that was contained properly and she followed all known procedures at the time. But it wasn't known at the time that dimethylmercury could penetrate through the gloves in less than 15 seconds. The estimated amount she absorbed through her gloves was roughly 0.089 teaspoons or 0.44ml (less than a drop) of dimethylmercury.

That was enough to kill her. No one else was exposed.

If she had prioritized herself over cleaning up, she may have survived.

Tangentially, as a related example, the free MKV Toolnix suite has a well designed GUI that also provides commadline snippets ( for windows and *nix ) for any jobs you create.

While not as complex as the full FFmpeg CLI options, the MKVToolnix suite has a large option set and having the GUI create usable CLI snippets is very handy for setting up large batch jobs on hundreds and thousands of AV files.

Raising shipping costs increases food costs — doubling shipping causes 0.7% inflation.

https://www.imf.org/en/Blogs/Articles/2022/03/28/how-soaring...

There are 13,000,000+ households in the US which face challenges having enough food, at least once during the year.

https://www.ers.usda.gov/topics/food-nutrition-assistance/fo...

When you propose a change that makes food less efficient to ship, you increase the number of people who struggle to feed their families — and make the challenge worse for those who already are struggling.

What the person you’re replying to is saying is that you have to balance the benefits (fewer truck crashes) against the costs (more hungry people) — and that such a choice isn’t nearly as simple as shallow histrionics, about how we must spend money to save lives!

I think your shallow false dichotomy, rather than engaging with the fact that economics also costs lives and causes human suffering, is exactly the problem.
Science works this way.

The nice thing about vim is all modern IDEs have vim movement plugins. Once the movements become muscle memory you can keep using them in new environments. Nice!
Thanks for the kind words @gsharma! Private APIs is something we are definitely thinking about.
The answer is that companies have limited cash reserves and need external capital to do anything. Particularly when you are looking to build something hugely expensive that cannot generate revenue for years. The real "plant builder" is not the organisation with the technical expertise. It is the one that can pursuade banks and investors to take the risk.
I remember a boss telling me about his personal experience at Nordstroms, with a lady irate about a set of defective tires she bought. She didn't have a receipt, but the sales clerk said that he was fine with taking them as a return if she could say how much she spent on them.

It's worth noting for people who are unfamiliar with the store - while they do sell some home goods in addition to clothing and beauty/jewelry, they do not sell tires. When asked afterward, the clerk said he did not know/recognize the woman.

Some companies just recognize how vital points of contact are with people and try to empower their employees to help customers and more generally people, because they consider it a priority to maintain a positive perception.

AppleCare support has historically tended to be very open, covering phone/online technical support for all of your Apple devices and services if any of them are actively covered.

There are certainly parts of interactions with Apple that _are_ frustrating, such as certain classes of device repairs where they gate the ability to e.g. get a battery replacement based on the results from a diagnostic tool.

Employees and even managers appear to have very limited capability to override those processes, presumably because you could otherwise ask for a battery replacement for a devices with a damaged screen and back panel, and pay an order of magnitude less than a repair on the damaged display and back.
The difference is that aliens aren’t magical and all-powerful. They’re likely having similar struggles and fight the issues using technology. It’s a big difference to a god who just waves the hand and creates the universe.
> The problem is that the open internet is dying. What used to be blogs and forums now is Reddit. Tens of thousands (hundreds of thousands?) of communities that had their own wiki, blog, forum, ... are now reduced to be a Subreddit.

As much as I try to explain this to newer generations, I am hit by the Cassandra syndrome. Nobody understands that siloing everything is bad.
Nuclear power generation is already ridiculously safe. The amount of radiation allowed to leak from a power plant in a year is about as much as you receive by having a dozen trans-Atlantic flights. Number of people dying per GWh generated is lower than e.g. wind generation. Coal produces much more radiatoin-induced diseases than nuclear, because the ashes concentrate heavy metals, including some radioactive isotopes.

I don't think it's the industry what pushes for even higher standards.

OTOH some cost-cutting in very mundane things can end up in a disaster. The whole Fukishima catastrophe won't happen if the height of the tsunami-protection wall was not reduced. So when a once-in-a-century earthquake with a once-in-a-century tsunami hit, it proved to be inadequate. But building a concrete wall does no require any special nuclear-reactor-grade materials or skills, it's civil engineering 101.
The above is "an emotional, illogical argument". The logical argument is that a burden paid by all is sometimes necessary when there are significant risks. This article goes to many lengths to visualize the risks in examples with and without guards. Admittedly, it doesn't have many counter-examples, nor examples from vehicles other than sedans and older cars. And it cites costs from the 1980s rather than today's costs. But when sedans on the road outnumber trucks, the risk starts to seem equivalent to a flight safety issue where we've known for years that the planes caused fatal injuries but we never addressed it.

If there's a blindness in this article, it's not so much the trucking industry response as it is the question of whether or not this has been implemented anywhere else in the world? https://www.reifflawfirm.com/canadian-and-european-truck-und... suggests that, "in Europe since 1994, front underride guards and side underride guards have been required on large trucks," and that these were strengthened in 2007.

That same page suggests front and side (of truck) collisions with a passenger vehicle are more likely than rear collisions, and that existing US and Canadian protections aren't strong enough.
For one thing since recent history shows the actual cost was going to be about $25 Billion for the kind of plant people expect to go forward with, construction never would have been approved unless the estimate could have been artificially reduced to some more palatable number to begin with.

Plus the bigger the ticket item, the more profit for suppliers and better commission for salespeople all up and down the line of such a huge project.

The fundamental purpose is to be a gravy train not to bring affordable power to the masses unless some kind of bonanza has fully taken place beforehand.

Contractors and everyone involved know this and are prepared to take whatever bonanza they can get as long as it lasts, and it can be more lucrative than other sizable projects without even going to completion. It's the sale of a lifetime and more people than ever expect to be set for life with bonuses before construction even starts.

Plus the true need for increased safety is an issue and all industries have spiraling costs here since insurance companies are involved, even if more so during construction than operation. Not only is more safety layered on than was once acceptable, but shareholders of insurance companies wanted to experience unbroken growth in returns to beat inflation since the 1970's and 1980's too. They are traded on the same stock market as value-added companies.

It’s science. It’s not in preparation for some kind of imminent encounter whose likelihood is weighed against some other event, but simply trying to understand our universe.

Maybe AI can do much better at interpreting signals than humans do, and we should build this lunar station so that the post-human AGI can listen to calls from other distant AGIs. It would certainly have more patience for interstellar communication than us.

To be honest, for the good. Discord search in "discord forums" sucks so bad it's almost unusable. Let's keep using Discord for instant messaging and voice.
Would be interested to know what your hosting bill was like?

We recently moved everything in-house and started hosting our own servers. Having physical access to the machine (and the network HW) pretty much eliminated all of our dev ops (1). We expected the HW to fail often and such, but in 2 years the only maintenance we had to do was add more disks to the RAID array and resize the partition a few times. Even though we have redundant everything, nothing has ever failed and the server has never gone offline (except when it reboots every Sunday @ 3AM in a min or two).

(1): How? Well instead of running small containers/micro boxes/services that we could scale up and down, since we owned the hardware it meant that efficient utilization wasn't a requirement for us anymore. We don't really care how much we utilize our own HW, so we just smooshed everything onto huge VMs in two huge 100 core boxes with affectionate names. We used super basic networking features (VLANs, firewall port forward) to setup the network. To simplify dev ops even further, there is only access to the servers from specific ethernet ports in the building.

> Added: I hate both worlds now. Where’s an editor that is full of modern features and at the same time easily programmable?

What about an editor with

- LSP and treesitter support built-in

- Scriptable with Lua, a common and well-supported embedded language

- Regular and remote plugins can be written in NodeJS, Python and Ruby for starters

- Built-in terminal emulator

- Uses XDG directory layout

- Plugins run as separate processes

- API for accessing core editor features

- UI and core editor are decoupled; all UIs are plugins

- Multiple UI clients can connect to the same editor server

This and a lot more is on the Neovim page [1].

> Also the format of US medical school has changed considerably in the last 20 years. There is plenty of free time in the preclinical years

You're right about that, it's gotten worse. The perspective you're offering here contradicts basically all documented perspectives on the intensity and time demands of medical training.

> Concerns about excessive content and curricular overcrowding in medical education have existed for more than a century. In 1910, Abraham Flexner noted that the packed medical school curriculum would “tax the memory, not the intellect.”1 The Rappleye Commission Report on Medical Education published in 1932 stated that “the almost frantic attempts to put into the medical course teaching in all phases of scientific and medical knowledge, and the tenacity with which traditional features of teaching are retained have been responsible for great rigidity, overcrowding, and a lack of proper balance in the training.”2 Since then, periodic concerns have been raised about this ongoing problem, notably in the Association of American Medical Colleges' Panel on the General Professional Education of the Physician (GPEP report) in 1984 and the Assessing Change in Medical Education (ACME-TRI) report in 1993, among others.3-6

> The problem has only worsened in the years preceding the pandemic. New pharmaceutical agents seem to appear daily, while our understanding of pathophysiology of disease continues to expand. In addition, we have needed to consider new and vital subjects such as cultural competence, care of LGBTQ patients, teamwork and interprofessional care, health care quality and safety, medical humanities, narrative medicine, and even wellness curricula, that have added pressure to the preclerkship phase of medical school, as ever more content is added. And little has been removed.

The relationship between empathy and burn out (especially in clinical practice) is also very well established. The whole system has a very strong selection against empathetic practitioners, whether through burning them out, or selecting a preference for their less empathetic peers.
Ah, that makes sense! Thanks.

I usually make boiled eggs when I take food somewhere (be it for hiking or a lunch in the park). But I also drop them into cold water once they are cooked to stop the cooking, so they are quickly not that hot anymore.

Not having to worry about the timing does sound nice!
The central myth is that the average programmer should care.

The typical programmer should treat CPU caches as what they are designed to be: mostly transparent. You work in a high level language and leave the tricky details to a library and your compiler.

It's only a small minority that should really worry about these things.

In my daily work, I see more often premature microoptimizations (in part using the myths from the article) which are entirely unnecessary rather than code that needs to optimize for those things.

As an exercise to the reader, I'd recommend looking up how to use vim buffers. I'm sure a web search would yield plenty that will be useful. For example you can open all the java files in a directory with >vim *.java . All the files will be loaded in vim and you can switch between them with :bn :bp. You can open the previously open buffer with :e#.

But I personally tend to use split windows and tabs. :split and :vsplit to split a window. Ctrl w and navigation keys to move between them. Each window uses buffers the same way, so within each window you can cycle between buffers, open different files, etc...

Tabs are also useful for keeping collections of similar windows organized. Unlike a lot of other editors where a single file is associated with a single tab, in vim, a tab is just another collection of windows/buffers. So you can have one tab that is split into two windows, say for a cmake file and config file, then another tab with three vertical splits, each with a different .java code file, then another tab with a log file. (:tabnew for a new tab, :tabn and :tabp for moving to next/previous tab, or just ctrl (+shift) + PgUp/PgDn depending on platform).

And the really nice thing about all this is that you can save your vim session like this with :mksession _your_session_name.vim, close out of vim entirely, then restore your session, with all it's tabs, windows, files, etc... by opening _your_session_name.vim with >vim -S _your_session_name.vim . And you have everything back just the way you left it. I use this all the time when working on various aspects of a code base; a different vim session with all the files/tabs/etc... that are most relevant to whatever I'm working on. Need to switch tasks? Save my session, and load the one for the other task and I've instantly got everything up that I need for that task.

Vim also has a built-in file browser, so you can navigate the file tree by simply "editing" a directory, e.g. :e. will edit the current directory and you can navigate the tree and select a new file to edit by moving the cursor to its name and pressing enter. Done with the file? :e# will bring back the previous buffer, which was the file navigator.
