I used to absolutely dead contact lenses and not understand how anyone could choose to wear them. Then I got diagnosed with keratoconus and had to wear rigid contact lenses. It turns out it's not that bad, especially with hybrid or sclerals. I imagine entirely soft ones are even more pleasant if that's an option for you. It's gonna be weird the first few hours or and it will take a few days to get comfortable handling them, but it's really convenient. You don't have to clean them throughout the day like glasses, you can wear sunglasses over them etc. I recommend you try them for a few days and see how you actually like it. It's not a scary as it sounds.

Some people feel it's more "original" or "pristine" build. Oracle develops Java, surely they know better how to build it and surely they'll patch it before others.

Though at that point I wouldn't touch anything Oracle with a long pole.

Requirements is always the problem: capturing and realizing user-desired system behavior in a form programmers can build from. Unfortunately big design upfront tries to nail these down at the beginning, an Sisyphean task because almost no user knows exactly what they need. Agile development should instead not try to capture every requirement, but get a few big things right to be usable and organically grow incrementally with continuous feedback from users throughout the development process. (It's an anti-pattern to stay incommunicado from users for too long or only involve them at the end for UAT.)

Formal requirements in the form of rigid specifications and documentation in waterfall development is useful in high risk, well-specifiable projects such as a nuclear reactor SCADA control system.
>Could you ever think that maybe people tried forgiving loans because borrowers were truly screwed over?

It would be easier to believe if effort was put in to pass the policy via the proper legal channels. And if the government didn't keep writing these loans at higher and higher interest rates at the same time. Regardless of whether or not the borrowers are screwed over, this was clearly political maneuvering and a token gesture at "solving" the problem rather than an honest attempt.

I live in the Global South. My perspective is from someone who has witnessed a dramatic improvement in the quality of life of my compatriots.

The economic growth that my country has experienced in past few decades is down to abandonment of retarded socialist policies and adoption of globalisation. The fact that you think Western charity has anything to with it suggests profound ignorance.

> How's the deforestation of the Amazon going?

The people of Brazil have every right to make use of the resources of their country. If they want land for their livestock or want to harvest timber, more power to them! Remind me: What happened to the forests in Europe or the bison in America?

> Isn't globalisation just great?

It absolutely is! More globalisation, more growth and less whinging from privileged Western doomers.
A stock is a contract. Can you have a contract when money isn’t exchanged? Or, can you a price change (from $0.01 to $0.00) when presumably there’s no more liquidity? I’m going with no, a stock cannot go to zero.

Functional programming does this. Probably not Haskell level ninja types or passing functions around like dependency injection, but the idea of separating state and io away from pure logic does indeed remove complexity.

Ironically the separation of state away from logic is why backend web development tends to be easier than say game development.

Are you suggesting LLMs will inevitably gain sentience, consciousness, and the ability to reason deductively at some point in the future?

Recall that the problem with programming isn’t generating more code. Completing a fragment of code by analyzing millions of similar examples is a matter of the practical application of statistics and linear algebra. And a crap ton of hardware that depends on a brittle supply chain, hundreds of humans exploited by relaxed labour laws, and access to a large enough source of constant energy.

All of that and LLMs still cannot write an elegant proof or know that what they’re building could be more easily written as a shell script with their time better spent on more important tasks.

In my view it’s not an algorithm that’s coming for my job. It’s capitalists who want more profits without having to pay me to do the work when they could exploit a machine learning model instead. It will take their poor, ill defined specifications without complaint and generate something that is mostly good enough and it won’t ask for a raise or respect? Sold!

This x100

I got to a repeatable functional process to do exactly what you described when I started applying the state machine design pattern to organizations - and the accompanying broader Markov Decison Process that allows it to iterate.

You need to define two states:

1.Current state

2.Desired next state

Once you have your states, then you build a “transition matrix” that is unique to this state transition which will guide the “how.”

To be clear “organizational state management” is not some turn-key, set it and forget it mathematical, solution.

It’s a simple metaphorical method, But the structure is one that reveals the simplest path to a defined target condition by demanding observability for each step and begs the question of how to draw the map.
This seems to assume that nuclear disposal is something clean.

There's even historical precedent in Germany, but in their greed I fear they'll repeat the same mistakes from 100 years ago.

This metaphor is all wrong. If we're going to stretch cooking, TypeScript is the recipe book. While cooking it seems you would prefer to write "add a bit of something savoury", when you really mean "1 tbsp Worcestershire". TypeScript's greatest strength is in the next person being able to pick up the component and being able to run with it, or you being able to replicate it again in three months.

If you start by just throwing all the crap you want into a pot and afterwards try to remember what you added and how long you cooked it for of course it's going to be a lot of extra work. TypeScript requires a methodical approach which over the long run makes it easier for the entire kitchen.
> Sure, but it can't be right.

I don’t follow. I mean you might be right. But using US as an example hardly make sense because they didn’t really try to ‘decarbonize’ that hard..

> because Germany is a leader in fossil fuel reduction this century

Germany was emitting ~500 grams per kWh back in 2000 and 385 in 2022. That not that spectator at all considering they weren’t at all trying to change this until the mid 2010s.

EU wide CO2 emissions have continuously decreased from around 520 grams to less than 250 in the same period.

So not only Germany wasn’t a leader throughout 90%+ of this century, they it was much worse than average…

I appreciate it for the allegory I find in it. It's kind of like "Something's up, so shall we commence a forensic analysis of this system and then reverse engineer it?" and then someone sensible says "Maybe start by asking the guy who made it."
> For Russia, it is the utter cutting off of FRESH DRINKING WATER to Crimea from Ukraine, something that Ukraine had cut off before and Russia worked hard to restore and did so as soon as they got control of the dam and reservoir. Russia considers Crimea its own terreitory and citizens, and wouldn’t undo all that effort by blowing up the dam. Not the higher-ups anyway.

I never said they were smart just they blew up the dam and admitted to it.

We have pictures of a car full of explosives on the dam with a wire leading to the Russian controlled side as well.

> Speaking of other dams on the Dnieper, the one upstream of this one, controlled by Ukrainians, was opened to maximum capacity flow, almost as if to exacerbate the flow downstream, right around the same time as the explosion. The amount it was opened to (all 3 valves) was unprecedented in decades. Who did that and why? Whoever did, it wasn’t the Russians.

The Ukrainians don't control how much rain hits the dam.

Do you know who does?. The Russians, they had control of the spill gates and decided to keep them closed they purposely closed the gates and let it fill up as much as possible.

This isn't surprising given the videos we have where they admit that they want to blow up the dam and then admit that they do blew up the dam.

>Professors demand you do exactly what they want for your thesis.

Also, what qualifying exam? It seems like as long as I was worker for my professors, they couldn't give a crap. (Although I was quite credentialed, so maybe they didn't care)

If I do get a PhD, it will be on a topic I want. So far, I have done that better independently and have gotten a bunch of press on the topic without needing academia.

Not exactly. If you are putting something inside the tag in React, you are implitly setting inner HTML the React way, managed by the virtual DOM.

This method (actually not even a method but an attribute that probably calls a method if set) "bypasses" React to set the inner HTML of the element, hence "dangerous".

(But I get what you mean of course, the reply was not to you but anyone who isn't familiar with React)
I'd like to add Singapore because they buy their excellent MRT trains from Germany.
This is covered in depth in the article.

Apps do load-balance, but the main issues are:

* they can only load-balance in their own datasets, which means that users of different apps can over-compete for the same small amount of road capacity
* load-balancing is often implemented in a naïve way that fails to account for how particular roads aren't meant to take increases in traffic
It's pretty good if it were an AI generated image fake. That was my immediate thought, and then changed when the only differences were things like 'it should read AVAF not AVAX'.

Ironically, I hear the ones that were shut down in Germany were some of the best maintained in the world and had very high "capacity factors" even when compared with other nuclear (fraction of time delivering power to the grid). It seems like the solution to poor maintenance is better maintenance? Some of the causes of recent poor French maintenance are analyzed here: https://player.fm/series/decouple/somethings-rotten-with-fre...

I assume you wouldn't seriously argue that rivers are the limiting factor to deployment of nuclear energy.
> Could they actually communicate with normal people if they (somehow) wanted to?

That have that comm channel. It's the press and the press instantly loses it's way, the moment Gov puts on a NatSec or Child Safety mask.
It is no surprise. They can be coerced to prove your program correct, negating the need to do unit tests.

But this is only true for certain languages. Overall most type systems are not Turing complete and therefore not suited for general computation
Adoptium now called Eclipse Temurin and it seems a de-facto open source Java distro nowadays. I used to choose other distros, in particular Azul and Liberica (because Adoptium didn't run JCK tests at that time), but today I think there's no reason to choose anything but Temurin if you don't need paid support. They have docker images, including alpine one and arm64 one (not alpine arm64 sadly), they have macports package, what else one could wish.

Ask HN: I want to leave my country for further studies and life
But the problem is that I can't drive a car in road. I've not tried to learn it yet, but I've tried to learn motorcycle and I've partially succeeded till now. So, I'm handicapped basically. I want to move abroad to a country, a place where most people use public transportation. The country needs to have be a sunny country as I've SAD(Seasonal Affective Disorder) as well. Each day I pass in Nepal, I regret being here. All my friends are moving abroad to the USA, Australia, Canada. But since USA , Australia, Canada require cars heavily, that's out of question for me.
I'm ready to learn a new language.
I just don't want to stay in Nepal. Any country will be fine. No India and China. But europe.
Can you recommend any countries for me?
Sorry if this is off topic but I'm really in stress because everyone is leaving this country and I will probably be only guy who'll be staying here. That too, not because of my choice but because of my forced reason of not knowing driving. I don't need great public transportation, just something that works is enough for me.

Wear a uniform. It’s ok to have a few uniforms depending on weather/season, but the goal is to not have to think when getting dressed. Get up, shower, put clothes on.

He absolutely should not rant about this on the company plane, however if a murderer has any history of mental illness, yes, a woman can literally drive you crazy.

> And turning warnings into errors just encourages people to write 'let _ = ...' to get rid of the error.

No? writing `let _ = make_future()` will clearly not await the future, why would you do it instead of just adding `.await` ?

Using `let _ = ...` is sometimes fine for Result if you really sure you don't care about the potential error you got but it's a no go with futures.

The data on that link says:

2019: 114.0 + 57.4

2020: 91.7 + 42.8

2021: 110.1 + 54.6

2022: 116.2 + 64.4

When the first wave of decomissions came in 2011, the number was

2011: 150 + 112 [1]

Straight question, to see if you can answer it: is it going up or down? Furthermore, even in the data you are posting, it's going down every year except last. And it went up last year because France's nuclear energy failed and needed to be supported [2].

About 100%: perhaps, but the proof is in the pudding. Historically, the naysayers have been incorrect for decades. Here [3], an advertisement from the German nuclear lobby from the 90s, that makes a case for young people: don't be against nuclear, we need it, renewables can NEVER account for more than 4% of our total production.

Fortunately nobody listened to them.

The best part of sam are the structural regular expressions. I keep a copy installed just for them. Now admittedly I never use it enough to get good at it so every time it is usually 10 minutes swearing at the manual.

The standard unix regular expression implementations (grep, sed, ed, vi) are very tied to "lines" of text, and most of the time this is exactly what you want. but sometimes it gets in the way. And when you start to have trouble with your regex because it is conflicting with line returns, then it is the sam editor and it's structural regex engines time to shine. They would probably be great elsewhere, but nobody else uses them.
I still don't exactly understand why these subs aren't just tethered to the ship.

Sure have a battery system as back-up for loss of shore-power (so that you can surface). But if the ROVs [1] they used to find the wreckage can be tethered to a ship why can't the dive sub? It would just be a glorified elevator at this point which sounds much simpler.
