Ok please state total nr of people that died bc of nuclear plants disasters(direct and radiation)
After that, pls state total people that died bc of fossils pollution+ disasters+ radiation from coal
Pls also total nr of people that died bc of hydro disasters(we can add those to solar and wind since hydro is used as backup for them by storing excess)
Not debating, just interesting how numbers differ in context of you mentioning chernobyl and fokushima, world should already have stats
Only one of those doesn't require your phone number.

It'll be nice when we get to the point where we can have a proper working chat app that doesn't require one. Hangouts used to be great but Google has to always make sure their chat doesn't work.
For those who still don't understand how the Telegraph uses simple clicks to encode the alphabet....

Download "Morse Code Tools" from https://morse-code-tools.software.informer.com/2.1/

Then run "Morse Keyer" and select "Straight Key" and "Telegraph Sounder"

You can hear exactly how a Morse Telegraph sounded back in the day

Two clicks per element, with different spacings between them.

Likewise run the "Morse news" program to hear some text.
Isn’t an X-Ray better than a photo in this context because it delivers way more information?
1 and 2 I have noticed accelerate quite a bit over the past years. While annoying I've found it is a very good metric for deciding who will never get my money/data.
To clarify, the 1% window was a heuristic that we recommended in the first paper a a good default for most workloads. However we showed that sometimes a larger window was needed, and concluded that as future work.

The follow up paper, which you also cite, explored adaptive techniques to resolve this deficiency. From there we introduced the idea of using hill climbing by monitoring the hit rate change over a sample period and adjusting the step direction. Caffeine incorporates this with a step size decay to allow for convergence. The implementation that you have does not include this improvement, but it is very simple to add and works surprisingly well.
I am not interested in debating the hate speech with you and I don't know why you thought I would be, obviously I am not going to believe your nonsense, I'm a normal person. I was just answering the complaining at the end of your comment about why your comment was flagged.
Did you communicate to the organizer about this?

In modern society we're normally conditioned to avoid confrontation, but it's the best way to initiate a proactive solution.
This is correct, see my other comments.

It is in fact the way that a standard telegraph sounder encodes Morse.
Rss/Atom feels like a case of Querty keyboard. https://www.jsonfeed.org/ would be a better choice, but only a few readers implement it, and a lot of frameworks has Rss/Atom by default with a click.

As you explain in (4), Xml makes sense for complex data, but feeds are basically in their final version.

Contrary to what you may think, wind and solar are not cheap. Land is very expensive. You would even increase housing costs due to land being used for energy instead of new home construction.
> I'm not aware of any instances where Jewish people were rounded up purely for being Jewish. There was always some misguided and wrong justification, like a belief that the plague was caused by Jewish people poisoning wells

At that point though, those Jewish people were in fact persecuted and murdered purely because of their ethnicity. It matters not that the persecution was justified with stories of poisoned wells. What matters is that those stories pertained directly to a specific ethnical group, and that group was subsequently hunted.

Can you elaborate on "arguably much more productive"?
interesting - one way to test the efficacy of something like this might be to compare median outcomes of adopted kids (whose parents went through some parenting education) with that of the non adopted general population (after controlling for other factors).

Yeah, however stuff like Win32s and WinG seem like lore that only old timers remember, and only those of us that would regularly buy programming magazines.
I think part of the issue is that through our success we erased a lot of the need for the most fundamental male roles.

When it came to handling the things that go bump in the night, a social species with thumbs, a bit of fire and a few sharpened sticks went a hell of a long way.

And after bumping back for long enough, we were the only monsters left standing.

I think that one of the problems with toxic feminity is that it's a quieter and less explosive form of destructive behaviour - but it's very much a real thing.

It appears to be second in death toll among renewables, after biomass.

We've been building iOS/macOS apps in local-first fashion for years.

It works differently - there's a persistence library called Core Data on each client (most recently SwiftData). You can choose which database to use - most likely SQLite, but you could use XML files to store your data.

And then Core Data simply makes sure everything is in sync. It's an Apple system library, which means your data will automatically sync even if the app isn't running.

This feels like better approach than OP's Mycelite or better-known cr-sqlite.

Any reason why syncing on the database level would be better? It feels like something the library should do, not the database.
The problem, IMHO, is that selling a password manager is about selling trust. It is okay to have an incident (to some extent of course: "we got hacked and somebody stole our database, which was not encrypted" is pretty bad), but it is not okay to lose trust.

Given how it has been going with LastPass, I don't see how one would still trust them with their passwords.

Would you be surprised to learn that there is something similar in Japan? Though not necessarily required, there are "mama papa" classes done by the government with the basics covered.

It's the "flow", as with many other sports requiring very high levels of hand-eye coordination, whether climbing, martial arts, olympic weight lifting, fencing etc. You don't have time to see, mentally process, then do; instead you just think/feel and the body does, and somehow that is much faster than is possible by the physical measurement of electrical signals from your eye to your body.

RSS is still very widely used. Companies like Feedly have built a livelihood on it. RSS is used extensively in editorial and publishing back offices.

The AP, for example, uses it as a technical means to facilitate content syndication to thousands of their affiliates and customers.

There’s an extant and modern native/mobile and web app ecosystem and no shortage of libraries to leverage it.

Not likely a cheap switch. Cheap switches don't even look at IP; they just do ethernet and that's enough.

More likely to be a slightly fancy switch, or terrible CPE for DSL/Cable.
This might be a crazy idea, but what if we put the housing underneath the solar? One might even call it putting the solar on top of the houses?
I can only talk from my limited experience. The company I mentioned was my first workplace outside of university, and since then more than doubled my salary. So I don't think of it as a career killer, but instead a stable environment to get yourself skilled up in what it's _actually_ like in a dev role.

Okay fine, let’s go willy nilly spread nutrition advice based on stretched conclusions from limited studies because diet advice totally doesn’t have a history of misinterpretation and trends later found to be wrong.

Let’s upend diets on this latest fad of studies! No matter that both historical and modern trends raise questions about the conclusion, let’s upend people diets!

Happy now?

P.s. Also skeptical doesn’t mean that something isn’t possible. Just a word to the wise.

> is it common to roadmap features your team can’t deliver at their current size? that sounds like a problem.

Remember, we had the headcount last year, and we planned our roadmap accordingly (in fact my company tends to plan at least 1 year out to a certain level of detail). When they shifted the headcount, we just pushed the projects back. However this year came and we didn't have the people to deliver on our roadmap.

About your second part, I cannot say since I am not present in those meetings. I have always found my manager pretty good, but there are some things that are just outside his control.
My idea of a major overhaul for a client is upgrading from Mysql 5.7 to 8 with no downtime and then slowly, over a year, finding queries that could be sped up with lateral subqueries or window functions. That's about the pace, and it's effective at keeping resource use in check. The wilder things I experiment with on the side are once in awhile actually useful for a new app or service...

I basically agree with you, if the cost of building the code will be easily outweighed by the savings to the client and I also think the platform will hold them for the next 10 years, I'll pitch it [e.g. I've moved many early clients from my servers over to AWS services when it made sense, and still maintain them]. But it's easy to see too how if I were trying to constantly drum up more work, it would be seductive to pitch them on new hyped up technologies they don't need, just to remain relevant and keep the checks flowing. I think that's the animating force behind all of this platform churn, not excited developers who just want to sheep or yak-shave (thanks. I always forget which ruminant I'm shaving ;)

I think the 'catastrohpic failure' argument is overblown. How many events have occurred when there was large scale contamination? Obviously Chernobyl. Yet pointing to this I think is a cop out. A corrupt, secrecy driven regime 40 years is not equivalent to a modern society in the 2020s.

What people don't understand is there has been literally decades of nuclear power generation over hundreds of reactors worldwide with zero issues.
That specifying is not done by the adjective "delicious". If "delicious" is to be interpreted as narrowing, it would be something like "thank you for the delicious carrots; no-thanks for the yucky peas".

Other examples:

"The scariest thing about a rattlesnake is its deadly venom". (This sentence is not intended to contrast a rattlesnake's other, non-deadly venom, but rather emphasizes that its venom is categorically deadly).

"Our mortal bodies may die, but our immortal souls will live on". (Implies that all bodies are mortal, and all souls immortal; not specifying the subset of bodies that happen to be mortal).

"I'll place my trust in solid steel over empty words". (Implies that the speaker believes words are always empty, and only actions matter).

"Consider the humble pencil". (Implies that a pencil is humble by its nature, not a specific pencil that is humbler than others).

There's no clear rule, but generally, if the adjective describes a property of the noun that is already understood to be intrinsic to that noun, then it is more likely to be interpreted as emphasis rather than as a modifier. (Deadly venom, delicious food, solid steel, immortal soul). "Toxic masculinity" is in a sort of Schrodinger-state, where it can kind of go either way depending on contextual clues, basically, the reader's perception of the speaker's beliefs about masculinity itself. And once you've chosen a reading, even subconsciously, that will reinforce your preconception of what the speaker meant by their grammar. Like the blue-yellow dress illusion, people will read it one way or the other and not understand why others disagree.

So if I say something like "the problem with fraternities is that they are awash in toxic masculinity", and you happen to be from a fraternity that seems to you like a healthily masculine environment and have never seen a toxic one, then you might interpret my criticism of fraternities as coming from a viewpoint that masculinity itself is somehow intrinsically toxic, and interpret my sentence accordingly.

We've changed technical terminology before for similar reasons (eg. global warming -> climate change); it's probably worth finding a different term for this one.
> With CW you're limited to two states: key and unkey

This might be true for radio morse, but in the original Telegraph, each element was encoded by two clicks. One click when the morse sounder operated, and another click when the sounder released. In other words, each element is encoded via two clicks, but with different spacing.

I'm on the unfortunate side of having panic disorder. Some exercise, like weightlifting can trigger panic attacks due to the sudden spike in adrenaline. Steady-state cardio is usually fine.
> I would phrase almost the same idea from the opposite angle: focus on the fundamentals that never change, and view the trends in terms of how they relate to those fundamentals.

Definitely -- I'd say that these questions force the understanding of the fundamentals, because that's what you get down to ("fundamental"/irreconcilable differences).

The problem is that fundamentals can be similar, and sometimes the difference is elsewhere (UX/DX/perf for example).

> But also, those are some pretty odd comparisons.

So they are odd comparisons, in some sense -- but the point was to reflect the kind of questions someone who didn't know the answer would ask. Ansible and Terraform (and Salt/Puppet/Chef) are often presented in similar context and they're often confusing precisely because they are so close but different.

The other example (CGI vs Serverless) is situation that's somewhat more targeted towards the age discussion -- did we churn over the years for churnings' sake?

> For sure Ansible and Terraform aren't directly comparable. If anything they're complementary. Terraform provisions machines (and also infra, etc), and Ansible configures provisioned machines.

What you've said is the usual rebuttal (and it's mostly right!), but did you know that Ansible did/does provisioning?[0] The lines aren't drawn as neatly as they seem to be.

You can build a Terraform-like experience out of Ansible, if you wanted to, and it's important to know that and why you choose a tool like Terraform instead of traveling deep into Ansible land.

All that said, if you prefer, replace "Ansible" with "Pulumi" (Full Disclosure: I'm firmly on the Pulumi side in the Terraform vs Pulumi debate).

A friend of mine wrote and published this Amiga GPT client recently. Seeing the Win 3.1 client here on HN prompted me to post this here too. I must admit that I find the instructions explaining that the app needs 20KB of memory right alongside its ability to work on a 4K display oddly hilarious.
Seems like there is a blending here of features and technologies. Your users will probably not know or care whether you choose YAML, XML, or JSON, but they'll notice gamification features.
No, I don't think you've minimized the issue at all. In fact, you've highlighted the fact that men have always struggled with mental health, and if anything we need more support, not people telling us that we should die.
Any country level just won't work on the scale of France or the US. If the EU were smart they would fund a nuclear company where all countries can bundle their resources and expertise.

I'm not young, yet I don't find any of this all that bad.

Maybe I'm an outlier, but I see refactoring and learning new tools as just keeping the blade sharp. Migrating to new frameworks, tools, etc. is just superficially iterative. I've yet to see some kind of massive paradigm shift blow me away and stress me out.

Giving nuclear power access to the same clean energy subsidies as solar/wind seems like common sense policy that all sides can agree on, at the very least.

Safety regulations are extraordinarily robust one-way ratchets so the price of nuclear power will probably be forever burdened by excessive regulation*, which is unfortunate.

I do believe if nuclear power is pursued it will quickly benefit from many of the economies of scale and technological advancements that have been seen renewable power, especially solar - although whether this will be enough to counter-balance safety regulation costs is unclear, leaning towards pessimistic.

Unfortunately, the strongest argument against nuclear power is simply that its time has passed. The ‘window’ for nuclear power opened in the 1960s, and it closes forever when battery technology gets good enough to cover baseload/offpeak requirements using stored solar power. If we assume that’s 20 years away, we can conclude that nuclear power has squandered three quarters of its ‘window’ (this is a more conservative estimate than you might think - recently the entire state of South Australia has posted several seven- and ten-day runs of solar and wind providing 100% of power needs, partly due to hundreds of megawatts of large battery storage).

On the topic of Australia, incidentally, one of my hobby horses is for Australia to become a ‘nuclear fuel superpower’ country. It is estimated that we have almost a quarter of the planet’s total uranium deposits, and we have a significant mining industry capable of extracting it, even after its decline from its former vibrancy. All we are really missing is a significant nuclear fuel processing industry, we instead simply export mined nuclear ore. We will probably never be a nuclear power superpower (nuclear power plants are banned in every state and territory), but it is still quite practical for us to become an ethical and trusted supplier of nuclear fuel to first-world countries pursuing nuclear power, relieving them of their dependency on Russian nuclear fuel.

*: It is possible to perform low-touch retrofitting of most (base load) coal power plants by simply replacing their coal-burning heat source with a nuclear heat source, leaving every other part of the power generation and transmission infrastructure in place. The plant would produce the same power output, but cut emissions by ~100%. However if you did do this, the retrofitted plant would immediately be forced to close, because the radiation levels from prior years of coal-burning pollution would already exceed some regulated standards for nuclear power plants. I have seen estimates that living in the shadow of a coal plant is roughly 0.1 mSv while living in the shadow of a nuclear plant is roughly 0.02 mSv - both well below the 1 mSv exposure limit, which is in turn well below the total radiation load of ~3 mSv natural background and ~3 mSv manmade radiation experienced by an average US citizen in an average year.
