Apparently the old method of gas diffusion for uranium enrichment used a ton of power.

They'd convert uranium to uranium fluoride gas, then repeatedly force it through membranes. The lighter isotopes would be more likely to permeate.

I guess all that pumping pressure consumed a lot of power. Centrifuge technology uses far less.

I know a little about that. Programmers in Amazon have to work harder mainly due to the poorly-designed/thought-out (despite sometimes unnecessary process like writing design docs and "discussing" over your solution with various 'stakeholders' until it gets approved) systems and tools supporting their internal development work. Pipelines is their CI/CD platform and boy, looking at the interface wants me to puke.

Every single step you need to implement requires you to look up several internal wiki pages, some of which are outdated and/or poorly written or linking out to another wiki page, and so on. My ex-manager always talk about 'scalability' (because they want to sell it to other teams for visibility) although that tool we are designing is going to be used by like 2-3 people and is processing at most like 500GB-1TB a day (which is not big data in my experience). In the name of scalability and rapid deployment, the manager wants us to use CDK, and we spend probably half of our team's effort maintaining/patching/upgrading that CDK dependencies (like Node.js and others). This is not to mention that when you want to tear down the resources created by CDK, it doesn't do things cleanly, so you are left with lots of CDK-created S3 buckets over time. Oh man, I can recount a few more problems surrounding the tools used within Amazon and how obtuse they are for usability and ease-of-development.
> This is a non-issue for almost everyone.

Very true. It’s almost always a non-issue (and could probably be ameliorated if you’re prepared in advance).

But, I’ll guarantee you, that one time in your life when you suddenly NEED $25,000 for emergency medical costs, or to close a critical business deal, or to pay for your wedding, or a parent’s funeral, or to help out friend or family in dire trouble?

Then, that one time, it is the biggest issue of your life. If a polite and cautious bureaucrat blocks it, then you will be angry about it forever.

And that one time is enough for one life.

You will not understand this until it happens to you.
You have to ensure that they don't do that. This can be through strict controls, peers and firing people you deem to do too much unsafe stuff.
I've revised my own opinion of this. Its premise may be as absurd as you suggest, but I think that's just a framing device to compare the two weapons. Normally, they're incomparable in the same way that comparing a packmule to a container ship is. Both of those might be used to transport goods, but writing up a comparison to the two is difficult to do without some way to frame it in a way that could engage the reader.

And whatever other effect he might have on you, he engaged you enough to leave this comment. I think it worked.
Sweden's car production seems to have dropped from 300k/year in the 1970s to less than 200k/year, so it doesn't look great.

Exactly. I always assumed porn's role in Tumblr was a bit exaggerated, but actually it seems like it really was pretty big, especially considering that we're talking about something that was far, far, far more mainstream than Usenet. (and thus at least in my mind, you'd expect it to be smaller by percentage.)

Of course it's complicated. DeviantArt never really allowed pornographic content, but obviously it wound up with a lot of fetish content that blurred the lines regardless. DeviantArt is basically a case study all on its own.

Weren't Apple taking another shot at gaming with some AAA games recently being demoed on Apple silicon? 8GB is barely enough these days with many titles requiring at least 12 to run games at minimum settings, newer releases like Starfield require 16. That's for PC with discrete graphics too.
This is a harbinger of RISC-V's rise. ARM can't compete in power usage with RV's simple and clean ISA, just like x86 can't compete with ARM's power optimised design. Ultimately power usage decides everything.

Eventually there will advanced RV implementations that outdo everything x64 and ARM can offer because of the RV design advantage and because there will be multiple players completing to capture market share. Intel no longer has a process advantage, and is unlikely to ever regain it.

I could not disagree with this more. You are aided in prototyping by forming an early opinion on your data models. I would argue there's nothing more important in conceiving of something new than understanding the shape and relationships in your data. Typing does that.

And nothing slows a developer down more than accruing technical debt as they build. It's like having tar stuck to your shoes. You will work the fastest when you have nothing to pay back because your mental model of the application is aligned with the intention of your program.

(That said, I don't think you necessarily need a strong static type system to achieve these aims.)
New Internet
Unfortunately, I've seen an alternative that isn't much better.

Google has separate management and SWE tracks, but tries to promote SWEs to management. It's pretty disastrous: people who fundamentally just want to be writing code burn their day on performance reviews and people issues (resolving a database latency issue is not nearly as fun as figuring out who's going to resolve it because the database guy's mom just died, and he'll be out... Shit, we don't know, his mom just died, it's on a spectrum of "he'll be back in a week" to "he'll be changing careers," it's not up to the manager).

The end result is that people who want to do good work are managed by people who are ill-trained and ill-temperamented to enable them to do good work, and it can make for a pretty miserable experience. There are exceptions, but the exceptions usually come from the process finding the rare superhuman who's extremely competent in (and fulfilled by) both arenas. The best managers at Google cared deeply about systems and deeply about their teams, and they were rare to find (and usually ended up at the top of an org chart where they could do the most good, so rarely were the direct boss for a SWE II or SWE III).
For most users, it’d be nearly perfect, hiccup-free compatibility with Windows software and a desktop experience that is identical to that of Windows wherever practical so there is no learning curve. In other words, when users can’t tell they’re not using Windows.

Anything less won’t move the needle, at least in the short term. People don’t like change and they don’t like thinking about their tools. You see this even with macOS, where switchers only put up with learning because there’s immediate tangible benefits like long battery life and reduced heat/fan noise acting as a carrot, and even then sometimes that’s not enough and they end up falling back to Windows.
We don’t even need to invent a hypothetical scenario to say that wouldn’t work. Tornado cash was shutdown by the US government. Why would operations like that and wallet addresses associated with those types of transactions, not be banned in a crypto mass adoption scenario?
Is there anything preventing a healthy competetive market for game stores on PC? Does Steam/Valve engage in behaviour that limits competition? Alternatives do exist - itch.io, GOG, Epic Game Store, and just putting an .exe file on your website.

If the market is not being artificially suppressed (I don't believe it is), and developer still think it's financially advantageous to pay Steam's fees, doesn't that indicate the fee is "correct"?
And the replayability is off the charts. The burnout is real, and then one day you really wanna pick it up again. Rinse and repeat.
The heat we directly dump into the environment, except where it affects the local ecosystem directly (e.g. warm rivers killing local wildlife, algae blooms) is a quite laughable portion of the global warming problem - greenhouse gases are multiple orders of magnitude more effective (at being part of the problem).

Oceans are insanely large (citation needed) heat sinks.

I cared a lot about work-life balance so I did take some notes from friends.

First, it matters most what team you're on at these big companies. There are definitely teams that are more chill, and you better believe there are great managers that care about you. But many don't, and often teams that are "high impact" (i.e. move the needle on growth by owning the signup funnel) are more intense.

As for FAANG, Netflix was known to be the most laborious, although the best paying; They'd slash the bottom x% every cycle. Apple was known for being secretive and siloed, and because of their shipping cycles many teams can have intense overtime, but overall it seemed ok. Amazon in general sounded like a half a tier lower in terms of pay and work culture. Google and Facebook were often similar on most fronts and generally pleasant to work at, although I did hear Google's promotions were more bureaucratic.

In terms of "a new way of treating employees", well yes they achieved that. Outside of silicon valley have you heard of those flexible hours, rest and vest, unlimited free food, arcades, swag, best equipment, or even well-documented formulaic promotions? I remember telling my friends and family for the first time and without fail their jaws would drop. That's why most people in the world would love to work at FAANG still. You better bet those thousands of employees are very much happy there. These practices have spread by way of tech startups, but are still not "common" by any measure.

Anyway that's my 2c, I worked on a very pleasant team at FB.

Yes I know but saying TLS is 'plaintext' is completely silly. It's like saying your credit card number is transmitted in plaintext when you do a TLS ecommerce transaction.

I do understand the point that the article is making, but implying that TLS is equivalent to plaintext is just plain hyperbole. What else can Microsoft do (assuming they want to do this feature?). Encrypt it again on the client side, then put it in the TLS tunnel? It's just double encryption at that point. They need the password

FWIW the amount of users still using unencrypted IMAP is often pretty high in outlook or apple mail. Now that is a security issue. Try using a wifi packet analyzer at a large conference. I bet you'll see multiple or even dozens of plaintext IMAP passwords going thru the air.
Classic HN: the comments here are more interesting than the article.

Off topic, but I have started to realize that I am developing a strong bias of liking anything “open” (open source, open LLMs, books released under Creative Commons licenses, etc., etc.) and a dislike or mistrust against closed proprietary systems. I used to be more balanced in my views. I am not a hardware person, just a humble programmer, but articles about RISC-V always interest me.
What the unions are doing in Sweden are apparently legal. The US has laws to protect against the things you're talking about, such as the Sherman Act and FTC oversight.
The company I worked for was the same, But it's a curse though. Always got the feeling of being looked down on for not running that gauntlet.

Soooo much of the Ego of Google engineering -- at least in the past -- is built around their sense of superiority of having made it through that interview and being selected as one of the "best engineers in the world."

Can someone explain the appeal of =small= nuclear reactors to me? Are the manufacturing cost savings the article cites really that much of a game changer?

I'd love to see us use more nuclear power. I would think =large= power plants would be more efficient though, and would save on things like personnel, security and regulatory costs.

I feel like the biggest risks to a nuclear power plant are the tiny chances for catastrophic failure -- terrorism, earthquakes, tsunamis and human error.

Having 50x these plants seeded close to population centers seems like it would make it more difficult to protect against these risks. I would also imagine most projects would face NIMBY resistance, which would lead to lots of lawyer fees and lengthy permitting timelines if they even get off the ground. What am I missing?
This doesn't feel like the right product for a lot of reasons. (Wait...do I have to pin it to the outside of my coat when I put that on? What's the battery life outside a coat in winter?

Again, what you are posting is the old stereotype that is being complained about here. Any survey of education in the Eastern Roman Empire will talk about how pagan literature at variance with Christian teaching, was not only copied, it remained the very foundation of the literary canon used for teaching. Christian educators simply found it too useful to censor out of existence.

The loss of so much literature in the Western Roman Empire has to be understood in the context of the overall collapse in literacy there, which was due to late-antiquity political factors and not religious ones, and then resource starvation in scriptoria.
What are the sockpuppet comments? I don't see any.
> The main positive that I see is that typing no longer requires thought.

What I find the most interesting in how I type (never really trained, it just "happened" over years), is that often when I make a typo I'm already correcting it before I register it with conscious thought. It's like the hand already noticed that something went wrong, so the backspace keypress has been dispatched autonomously without having to think about it or even observe the result.
I second that and I came here to add that the few who rule the masses are responsible, and not the masses.

Blaming masses for being not that clever is just arrogance and ignorance of the fact that intelligence is NOT required to live happily and be good to others.

And while scientists will continue this very stupid narrative of high intelligence necessity rulers and ultra-rich will continue to exploit it.
> I want background work to live on different compute capacity than http requests

The magic of Elixir/Erlang is that all of this logic can live in one codebase and you can choose when deploying your distributed cluster of Elixir/Erlang nodes which nodes run which tasks. The nodes are all aware of each other and when something happens that requires execution of that task it happens on the correct nodes because they're the only ones running those processes. Automagically.
If you think about why a vacuum flask or thermos is used to keep drinks hot (or cold) for an amount of time you'll realise that space / a vacuum is a very good insulator.

An object in space loses heat according to the Stefan-Boltzmann law of radiation. That use the fourth power of the temperature differential so you get boost from the background of space being -270C. BUT the Stefan-Boltzmann constant is 5.67 × 10−8 J/s · m2 · K4 and that is the problem.

You can do the numbers yourself but various internet sources suggest that spacecraft radiators can only cool between 100 and 350 W of internally generated heat per square meter. That is a big radiator for not much cooling.
This is why they have their architecture audited (and release the audit reports).

It's more like getting a layoff and then offered an interview for a new job.

For me, we didn't have to do the interview. But there were a lot of other strings attached, most drastic being having to move cities (or have a 2-hour-each-way commute).

The money makes it worthwhile, but it's not a happy happy joy joy moment.

I also got a peavish Google recruiter all pissed at me about the fact that we were sharing notes with each other about the offers they were sending us, which I thought was pretty funny.

Wayland doesn't have the kind of abstraction that would allow that, partly since it would make it very hard to guarantee perfect frame rendering.

A lot of what X11 does is instead handled by Wayland "compositors", they deal with almost all such policy logic. This is largely the same situation as on Windows or macOS, which Linux desktops are finally starting to catch up to.

4 November, actually. All Saints’ Day gets a bit confusing in Sweden, because there are two of it — one on 1 November, which is not a public holiday, and one on the Saturday after, which is. The one on Saturday tends to catch people by surprise, because most don’t work on Saturdays anyway, so they don’t expect this Saturday to be special, but then it turns out that shops and services they expected to be open are, in fact, closed.

Yeah. It would basically be insane for a company to nickel and dime laptop purchases and then pay an IT person to do bespoke upgrades. Like a lot of things that may seem sensible on a personal level where labor is cheap/free, they don't make sense when you're paying someone $50+ an hour to do them.

You can get a BBC micro:bit with Nordic SoC for $15
Not exactly $5, but not very expensive either
There's also a decent growing community around them

You've also got the nRF52 USB dongle which seems similar to those cheaper ESP32 kits, for around $10.

> and going past that requires a JTAG programmer

No, the official Nordic devkits comes with a built-in debugger. Same for micro:bit. It's just plain USB.

That said, I do think Nordic could be better at penetrating the hobbyist/student market. I think one problem is the lack of a combined BT/WiFi chip.

I think once Zephyr becomes more mature and there's more tutorials/guides around it, a good BT+Thread+WiFi solution from Nordic could become very popular. Zephyr is a bit hard to get into, but incredibly powerful once you get used to it.
Yes, 1/5 of Swedes are sympathising with neo-nazis, that's not a secret or anything. It might be that a good portion of this 1/5 doesn't realise they are supporting a neo-nazi party because they are voting for them on the basis of other issues but alas, they still support it.
> when you have lots of very tight types

This is true. But also I've noticed many less experienced TS devs end up writing types that are too specific and not utilizing structural typing enough. So e.g. writing some type and demanding a function accept it, when that function only actually needs one or two properties from it. Instead that function can inline or localize the part of the type it needs, and the original type can be unaware its ever being used by some other function.

And the other thing is trying to leverage the type system too much. For my style, if the types aren't making things easier to read, write, and maintain, they should be loosened and / or duplicated. I blame a lot of libraries here, it should never be puzzling to figure out how to type something so a function accepts it, yet that comes up quite often; I end up diving through these nested and overly DRY types trying to find what the heck even is this thing? That's crazy. If you need to cmd+click more than once or twice to understand what a type is, its way too abstracted.
