Interesting observations, I would add my own:

- during long game, chess grand masters have physiology comparable to marathon runner, while he runs. Deep thinking for several hours, takes huge load on body. All the logic and critical thinking, is not going to save you, if you are not fit, and your brain does not work correctly.

- real life is not about solving puzzles. Real life is a rigged game where rules are not enforced. Instead of finding problems to solve, you need to find oportunities (and loopholes) and exploit them!

- game is rigged, and oportunities close fast. What worked a couple of years ago, probably does not work anymore.
Gosh I spent a lot of time contemplating a sojourn into backyard metalcasting. Building my own lathe was a longtime dream.
well, that would be the fault of clamav if they did not do the proper DNSSEC verification and validation of their ‘current.cvd.clamav.net’ hostname.

Digging into the code of freshclam, source of libfreshclam.c, dnsquery() function call, it is painfully evident that freshclam daemon does not do basic DNSSEC when performing res_query().

Instead, freshclam should be calling `val_res_query()`.

They are currently using ‘res_query()’.
If you look at the value delivered per acre by a solar field, it's massively (orders of magnitude) higher than the value delivered by a farm.

If land cost rules out solar, it also rules out agriculture. I never see the nuke bros saying we shouldn't grow things because it uses too much land, or that we need to go vegan to reduce land use.
On the edge of political rules for the site; and blunt cynicism.

Congress seems woefully unprepared to regulate X; Committees have limited effectiveness; even if some members carefully listened to all testimony; partisan gridlock at present would be a limiting factor over the last 10 years.

- Privacy Laws; Congress proposed laws including device manufacturers giving encryption certificates to the government; at a similar time where leaked NSA tools have become the primary tool of Ransomware.

- Agriculture; The conclusion is generally that farm subsidies, ethanol subsidies aren't based on what's good for the country or energy efficiency, but one of the first primary caucuses.

- Immigration; Decades of high numbers of h2b (migrant) visas with no path to citizenship for DREAMers; Inflation partly caused by lack of workers thanks to a large retiring generation (and lower average life expectancy), while legal immigration limits keep potential workers from legal jobs.
It's not. Even with their lack of concern around safety the chances of dying in a motor vehicle wreck are almost nil.

Like I said, in the West, people are so concerned about safety they loose all sense of relativeness. Saying that "wow, your car doesn't have airbags, you're as good as dead" is a ridiculous statement.
No idea how true this is because I've not look into it all that much, but I believe some people believe alzheimer's disease to be a kind of 'diabetes of the brain'.

I think I'm right in saying it's linked to inflammation so if you're in an inflammatory state say because you're diabetic, get little exercise, have poor sleep, etc you're more likely to develop alzheimer's.

My guess and I'm almost certainly wrong, but it could simply be that the people who are doing crosswords regularly are in a cohort of people that's less at risk of alzheimer's generally.

I agree with you that it seems odd that cognitive tasks would be protective of alzheimer's (given what I understand of the disease), but I'd imagine those who do crossword puzzles regularly eat better, get better sleep and get more exercise.

Would be interested if anyone can shed some more light though..
The distinction is that of the piece being a "publically published work", which in Swedish law means the source as provided in official capacity - e.g. a CD/DVD/BluRay original, a radio/TV broadcast, or the author's (or copyright holder's) sanctioned Internet outlets etc. - compared to the copy being made from "inofficial/illicit" source. Swedish law states complete legality for the former. Pe-ri-od.

>France's general budget received tens of billions in dividends from EDF in recent years, would you say EDF saved as much for the taxpayer?

Of course, my point is only that it's true to say that EDF sold the power too cheaply, otherwise they would have been profitable and debt-free.

The question that has to be answered is whether nuclear can provide power at a competitive price once all the costs are counted. Currently all the costs are not counted, and we keep discovering that the costs are way higher than any estimates have previously shown.

>> Which decommissioned reactor are you thinking of?
>maine Yankee, for instance.

Yankee costs 10 million USD per year still to this day with no end in sight.

https://www.bangordailynews.com/2021/07/19/news/midcoast/arm...

"Securing these remnants of nuclear energy generation is an ongoing task that requires armed guards around the clock and costs Maine Yankee’s owners some $10 million per year, which is being paid for with money from the government."

This means that every year, at least 10 million USD has to retroactively be added to the actual cost of electricity generated by that plant.

Then some day the spent fuel has to be moved, and the current container structure has to be dismantled. Why doesn't that count as being part of the decommissioning costs?

To say that nobody knows what it actually costs is quite fair IMO.
Aside from the other sibling comments, on why with and mid always were separate words, it’s worth noting that this sort of thing just doesn’t really happen in the first place. Words can get randomly corrupted, but there’s generally a clear perceptual reason behind it: common processes include, say, switching adjacent consonants (e.g. Old English bridd → bird), or deletion of unstressed or repeated syllables (e.g. library → colloqual pronunciation libry). Random change doesn’t tend to cause wholesale change of the whole word. And especially not in a way which makes it harder to pronounce: the /th/ sound tends to be rather unstable, and many dialects of English have systematically lost it.
It’s unrelated in structured and substance to “too big to fail”.

Too big to fail implies catastrophic harm worse than the (unpalatable) steps necessary to prop something up.

This argument is really exploring the line between “company did something harmful” and “company did something so harmful they should no longer exist”.

I’m not arguing for either, but TBTF is unrelated.

Show HN: Send Emails from Your Terminal
One of my favorite developer tool companies in the world is Charm. So I was blown away when they said they were rethinking how email could be sent using the terminal.

Pop is a Text-based User Interface (TUI) that allows you to send emails without having to switch context from your command-line interface.

Here's why I'm obsessed with Pop:

1. You can write an email body with AI

2. You can easily install using Homebrew

3. You can do some really powerful stuff like generating a PDF and sending an invoice via email entirely from the command line

The email sending part is taken care by Resend, another developer-first product, which makes it the perfect integration for this.

As a developer, I live in the terminal. And I would love to hear how other developers feel about this. We would love to hear your ideas, experiences, and feedback.
> IMO the right way to have private members in C structs is... to document that members shouldn't be touched directly, perhaps using a special naming convention or embedding the publicly-accessible members in a dedicated sub-struct to prevent confusion.

>> A single tornado let alone a hurricane could wipe out gigawatts of solar or wind capacity.

> That sounds like a problem with planning permission or construction if the plants can't cope with wherever they happen to be installed.

It appears you do not live somewhere with extreme weather. How do you plan to protect hundreds or thousands of square meters during events? Is there some kind of new glass? Panels made of unobtainium?

https://cowboystatedaily.com/2023/06/27/baseball-sized-hail-...

As the Earth heats up, weather events like this will become more common, not less. It's not just a matter of the world's thermostat going up or down, truly destructive natural events already happen in these areas and are poised to become worse.

> There are weather conditions that interfere with safe running of nuclear plants

Yes, BUT those weather conditions will not substantially damage the plant itself, and soon after the extreme weather event is over, it can start delivering power again in short order (provided the power lines were buried and not on poles, but that's indeed a planning issue).

If 80% of the panels in a solar farm have been rendered inoperable due to hail, even after the event is over, you're looking at a long-term outage with the erosion of public goodwill that goes along with that it in regions of the country that are already skeptical of the government's ability to get stuff done.

No, thank you. I want something that can provide base load no matter what.

What do you mean? The fact that C can do this is an example of how it's not limited. A lot of other languages instead require you to allocate everything in the heap and there's no possibility of passing things by copy, or of not accessing things through anything other than a pointer. C at least is capable of allocating and accessing at least some things directly on the stack.

I spent quite a long time trying to get nvim-jdtls configured correctly and playing well with all the other LSPs I have configured. Had it mostly working and I did like writing a large amount of Java for a greenfield project in Neovim, but then a bunch of it broke again when I upgraded either nvim or one of its plugins. So I spent some time trying to make the IdeaVim plugin work as closely as I can get it to my Neovim setup and am finding that to be a happy medium. But I might still come back to Neovim for raw editing at some point if the LSP issues do get sorted out.
I'm curious why he does so. Does each watch serve a separate function? Different timezones? Just showing off?

I have a few friends who spend their engineering salaries on expensive cars that always remain parked in the garage, and watches they never actually look at to know the time. It's not something I choose to do, so maybe I'm overlooking something with Buzz's choice to wear so many expensive watches.
Words don't usually change in a one-off way. If you see a change from m to w in one word, you're likely to see it in another word in the same language. For example, in going from Proto-Germanic to English there was a general shift to drop the sound n before fricative sounds, as is apparent in multiple words: English five vs. German fünf, English us vs. German uns, English soft vs. German sanft. In the case of mid and with, we don't see other instances of m turning into w. Coupled with the fact that mid and with used to coexist, and they have plausible etymologies arising from independent sources in Proto-Indo-European, the preponderance of the evidence is for independent origins for the two words.

I think you need to go one level deeper: People needing to move non-trivial distances for periodic tasks shapes everything. Cars, and thus car parking, come about because of this need.

Even before cars existed, roads and parking (such as hitching posts and stables) still existed because people needed to move.

And even bicycles (electric or not) need parking too. There are startups dedicated to creating automated bike parking garages to limit theft.

> The bankruptcy process just allows the courts to manage all of the claims together under the authority of one judge, instead of having different courts in every state issue incompatible damages awards in a race to judgment

This "just" is sure doing a lot of work.

First off, if J&J is really on the hook for all the liabilities of the child company, then the child company is not bankrupt since it has plenty of money to pay unless J&J is also bankrupt. This makes it pretty clear that the bankruptcy is a sham legal maneuver.

Second, it is a bit rich that this legal maneuver is framed at "protecting claimants" when it blocks those claimants from pursuing cases that maximizes their damages. It seems pretty clear that J&J are not following this strategy to protect the victims an ensure fairness but to minimize their own costs and damages.

What this basically amounts to is subverting bankruptcy law to force claimants into something more akin to a class action without the consent of the claimants.

If it really is the case that total awarded damages exceed what J&J can pay, then J&J should itself file for bankruptcy.
I can stipulate all your claims there and still argue that it doesn't make sense to build more nuclear power plants. You have not made the case for that.
