Nuclear power is not a good complement for solar power. Nuclear works best as baseload power with constant production. To complement solar power you need peaking power plants. It is possible to build nuclear peaking plants, but the cost of that power is many times higher than from a baseload nuclear plant since most of the cost is upfront capital cost.
A friend and I used to do this, using the USB GPS reciever from Microsoft Streets and Trips, and then an Orinoco PC Card that let us use an external antenna that we got from a Linksys home AP/router.

It was fun seeing all the networks on the map when we got home. I think the original plan was to send out flyers to these businesses offering networking/IT services but we never got that far (especially to the ones with open networks)

During my time taking on-call pager rotations at fairly large engineering organizations, I'd say that a distressingly large number of incidents happened for fairly standard reasons ("didn't write tests for this case" + "deployed" + "insufficient monitoring," with things like incorrect concurrency assumptions around DB access, or memory leaks in application code, or insufficient rate limiting / circuitbreaking causing cascading failures being fairly common passengers). In fact, it's actually pretty hard for me to come up with an issue that wasn't basically a fairly common programming error combined with some relatively common infrastructure, build, test, and/or observability problem. Sometimes with some common bureaucratic human problems thrown into the mix too, i.e. "no one owns this service's uptime."
The yearly standardized exams could be company-specific. So, if you want to apply for a software engineering position at Google, you would have to take the yearly Google standardized exam for software engineers.
too many stories like this. we need to organize schools by knowledge, not by age. and only pass kids to the next level when they're ready
Not always. The average car in Wyoming gets driven 24,000 miles a year something getting 12 MPG is burning 2,000 gallons a year directly and another 30% indirectly from manufacture transportation and extraction of oil. That’s a lot for a 5 year old car you could easily be saving 30,000+ gallons of oil.

Obviously, that’s average many cars are significantly worse. Run the numbers and swapping a high mileage but poor fuel economy car for a hybrid/EV and the payback can be a net positive.

Sometimes you start a project, more and more people start to collaborate, and eventually most of the project's contributors want to move it in a direction that doesn't interest you.

At that point you can either be a spoilsport, or step away amicably.
That peer would've chased the grind regardless.

It can even be argued that chasing the grind was _how_ they got into a $500k/year well-paying job in the first place.

Some people are just wired like that.
One thing I noticed going through school is that math concepts are usually taught first before physics and other subjects —- precisely because the math is viewed as a prerequisite for the other material. But this always seemed entirely backward to me, because much of the math was invented for and motivated by people trying to solve actual problems in these other disciplines. I think we should teach people in the same order of operations, rather than treating math as an abstraction to be learned by itself.
I always find it interesting in these threads that people don’t really love movies made after 2015 or so.
> - The government is not a good allocator of funds, free market competition works a lot better for creating the best product.

Government aquisition is a monopsony (market dynamic where there is one purchaser who wields all the power) which means "free market competition" doesn't exist. This causes lots of negative consequences. Here's a discussion of the topic in the context of defense but a lot of the same surely applies to space.

You can do three things according to Openfga of which the basic two are: ask permify for a list kf all accessible files and match them with the search result. This works best if number of hits is large and number of owned files is small.
If number of owned files is large and hits is small then you can ask ‘which of these N files does user U have access to’ where you send the list of search hits.

Having also watched all of this happen, I still can’t believe it’s real. Freeway overpasses now have angry mobs waving signs about joke conspiracy theories made up by teenage edgelords shitposting from their parents basement.
To generalize. When people fail they can blame themselves or can examine how to change. I saw one person try open a gate, fail and say they were no good with mechanical things. I said "Its not you, the gates broken" and the person immediately opened the gate. This is pervasive. "I'll see it when I believe it" as the saying goes.
you mean like go to university and get a real CS degree and have companies use that to give you a job? oh wait…

Wow, thanks! I've basically been building this in a silo so it's very nice to get such enthusiastic feedback. I am really dedicated to bootstrapping Hot Page with my own resources so that no one can pressure me to make the design more generic or somehow exploit the customers. Of course, it has not been easy doing all the programming and most of the marketing myself though. Right now we really need customers like yourself who are willing to use the beta version and provide feedback -- so thanks so much for your support!

obviously there are a number of points where I've fudged the numbers here, as I don't care much, for example with 3100 being killed the 5% of 62000 would be decreasing as it would no longer be 62000 - but I will leave that to other people to figure out.
No, the exam would be standardized. There would be no need for a CS degree and you would need to take the exam even if you do have a CS degree.
Except that spiritualism in the East is generational suffering. Imagine the Great Depression as a contagious and national feature.

When the Berlin Wall (accidentally) fell, I think it showed the West as far more durably attractive than the East was robust due to generational suffering.

So the question becomes China. Its dissidents do sound like Solzhenitsyn: the Chinese state successfully banned certain truths. But they have spirituality distinct from national suffering. And in 1978, you wouldn’t have seen the beginnings of materialism as well.
That is a very strange article. The Model 3 and Niro are not comparable cars, the Model 3 is much larger and much more powerful.
> Replace "security" with "safety" for, IDK, space engineering or nuclear power. Does it still make sense?

Here's a question: Why do most safety regulations require the force of law to get companies to enact, but no laws were necessary to get companies to adopt the internet? "Safety" is in a similar boat to security, with the benefit that you usually don't have people actively trying to harm your employees. But Safety often gets tossed out the window when it gets in the way of accomplishing the real goals of the organization. Why is the US military exempt from a number of safety regulations that private companies are beholden to? Because the military believes those regulations will hamper their real mission, which is not keeping individual soldiers safe.

The Discovery of Dark Electrons in Solid Matter
So what was AMD thinking with its release of the 8700G and 8600G APUs, and is it planning to phase them out?

They come with the 780M and 680M processors, respectively, and both are outperformed by the 980M at a lower power draw [0]. Theoretically a consumer can't put these parts directly in a pc there's already a mini-pc with the laptop part 980M [1]. The 7800G sometimes shows up in mid-range and high-end gaming PCs with discrete graphics cards [2], which makes so little sense that I wonder if AMD quietly offloaded them in bulk at a steep discount to vendors.

I've commented on this before [3], can anyone shed light on the situation?

A more straighforward variation on these ideas is in his address in accepting the Templeton Prize: https://www.templetonprize.org/laureate-sub/solzhenitsyn-acc...

Solzhenitsyn is almost unheard of by anyone under the age of 40 because the history of the cold war was recorded through an anti-capitalist lens. I'd venture most of what you know about it reduces to McCarthyism, heroic labor movements, some US support for death squads and dictators in central and south america, atrocities by US solders in vietnam, some student uprisings in france, and maybe some cartoon images of what factcat capitalists represent.

In the few short decades since the fall of the berlin wall, most western institutions are now headed by people who see themselves first as activists playing a role while dissolving national systems of oppression in service of global coordination. Usually in subordination to supra-national coordinating bodies like the EU, WEF, UN, World Bank, and other central committees designed to limit sovereignty and "freedom." There are reasons to believe there are some constructive possibilities in them, but without understanding what the people behind them are motivated by and intend, you can be relied upon to do nothing.

It's said that history is written by the victors, but in fact it's just the writing of history that is the measure of victory, where what people believe about themselves is the artifact of the stories and narratives they receive. e.g. "hearts and minds." It is the literal means of production of the idea of self. Are you the creation of a being whose intent is for you to thrive in harmony with others who appreciate and share that gift, and use its revealed will to produce offspring of your own toward whom you have similar intent, or are you an undifferentiated clump of cells actuated by need and a struggle over finite resources? The strategies of each are different, and persuading people that they are the latter lets you enslave them. Bladerunner 2049 deals with this theme pretty well. Beings raised without souls do what they are told for the pleasure of ones who are more aware.

If a word you use to describe this dissonant view is "problematic," I'd look hard at my memories and beliefs to find which ones were the effects of specific physical experiences and which ones were arrived at through ideas I had received, and how much of my ontology was just the iterated logic of a few received ideas. (Happy Sunday!)

Solzhenisyn's appeals to spiritual values seem quaint, but maybe they're useful for younger people trying to piece together what happened just before the narrative bubble they inhabit took hold in the west. When it clicks that separating your idea of self from a relationship to the divine dilutes your humanity and reduces you to the level of an animal, the motives of the people doing it should become absolutely clear. Good luck.
That's fair. I have to imagine that there's a market for a product like that. My mind goes to auctioneers and estate sales. I know the local auctioneer would kill for a tool like that.

Something to keep in mind if you do build that: have a one time purchase or month long purchase option. When my wife's grandma died, we had to go through her coins looking for good ones. I would've killed for something like this but for a month.

Nice! I did a similar project, more focused on creating an Elm architecture framework in TypeScript here[1]). I based it on implementing virtual-dom logic for both Elm codebases and Derw's renderer. Since it's a decent amount of code, I couldn't find a good way to represent it in a blog post, and ended up making a commit-by-commit example on Github instead. Since it's FP-focused, it doesn't support useEffect/useState like this post, but rather has an external subscription/message system instead.

It does support server-side-rendering, hydratation, and async events. It's a bit different in implementation in the OP's post, but I think the most important thing any reader should take away is that at the core, virtual-doms can be quite simple with plenty of room for further optimization.

Trying to use Literate Programming to create an OpenSCAD library for a Python-enabled version of OpenSCAD which is able to create DXF and G-code files for creating CNC projects:

The coasting until real work was required part sounds very familiar, and also the getting by in objective terms but being unhappy and struggling mentally part too.

After embarrassingly many years I've learned that there's a little voice inside that says "you can't", "that won't work", "that was shit". Succeeding at anything, for anybody, is stacking a whole lot of little failures and frustration, but crucially, being able to ignore that little voice. I, and I assume many of us, have burned half of my energy and mental health fighting that little voice. To me, it seems that most of those manage-anything people are not just generally gifted intelligence-wise or physically, but have learned to silence that inner voice and just do things until they succeed, while still avoiding to do "stupid" things.

As a distance runner, I've learned a bit of dopamine trickery, but managing that inner voice, and even being aware of it, is turning out to be a life-long project. It becomes a mission of figuring out what you're burning your energy on, and why. You can't strive for happiness or success, but it should be possible to get enough stuff done to find contentment and acceptance.

Maybe it's because I'm not at the top % of developers but it feels like this would go over the top for the issues of most developers. I'd guess very few people need to go into uncharted territory nowadays unless using some tiny tool with no documentation to begin with. It's always a big warning light when I notice I'm going deep into anything as it usually means I'm using it for an unintended purpose.

Most of my issues, especially before LLMs have been regarding misunderstanding documentation, knowing I'm somehow misunderstanding it and just needing someone to rephrase it since I'm burnt out going in circles yet have to finish X before the end of the day so I can't let it marinate in my head.

My impression is that communities trying hard to enforce doing your research prior to asking often end up skill issueing plebians. In that line of thinking it might be cool to see a "question difficulty" option on sites like SO. I've never really had a question where I couldn't roughly gauge how complicated it is and if trying to answer questions it'd be cool to be able to roughly filter like you'd do in leetcode.

Sure, the final business goal is selling access to the resources gained by the attack, but ultimately the attacking IS aligned with/directly enables that goal. Defense in cyber security is almost always at odds with the goals of defender's business. Or put another way, if there were no Attackers, no one would spend any money on cyber security defense. But if there were no Defenders, someone would still be paying for cyber security attacks.

do you consider the likelyhood that a project will be forked?

for example react is listed as high risk, but at the same time i would consider the risk to be very low in the sense that if it is relicensed then it will be forked immediately backed by a community that is strong enough to sustain such a fork.

i'd go as far as saying that for react relicensing would kill the project because the majority of users would go with the fork.

for other projects the risk is higher because they don't have a strong FOSS userbase that could sustain a fork, and because most current users would not care.
