It will produce annually, about as much electricity as UK produces now from solar. Which is installed at a much faster clip than these two sad reactors are built, even if UK is one of the worst countries for solar in the civilised world due to expensive land and terrible weather.

What's even the point? Maybe this reactor is a live testament to the observation that "any new nuclear starting construction today will be obsolete before it's completed, due to competition from renewables"? It's been started almost 10 years ago and it seems to be already there.
Dutch cyclists also do all these things. As a driver in the Netherlands, you'll quickly learn that cyclists don't stick to any rules, they will cross red lights, use the wrong lane, use the sidewalk if it saves them 2 seconds, ignore yield signs etc, and in general they will come from every direction imaginable.

In a car, the onus is still on you to pay more attention. Defensive driving style is the norm - assume mistakes will be made and rules will be ignored. After all, you're driving a 1-2 ton machine whereas a cyclists will be generally be <100kg at slower speeds, bike included.

That said, road design of course matters a lot. In the Netherlands, bike lanes in 50 kph (~30 mph) zones are preferably separated by a curbstone. Meaning it is often physically impossible to cross into the car lane. Bike lanes for roads with higher speed limits are rare in urban areas, and nearly always curb-separated where they exist. Intersections will have islands for cyclists and pedestrians to pause. Most residential areas are 30 kph (~20mph) zones, where most bike lanes have dashed lines. Counterintuitively, cars are expected to drive with two wheels on the bike path in these cases. This prevents cyclists from being in the car's blind spot[0].

Great project, thank you!

BTW Your "Advanced ESP32 development with ESP-IDF" guide [1] is the best "getting started" guide I've seen so far. Up to now no guide has been so clear and complete, and I've spent one week being very frustrated by how confusing the official ones are.

So thank you again. You made me rekindle the spark of creativeness that got buried by age and daily grind.

In the early days of 64-bit, Intel put all of their resources into 'itanium' and it was AMD that created 'x86-64'

I doubt Intel would back out of the cross-licensing agreement that lets them implement x86-64.

Thank you for taking the time to analyze! You nailed me here:

People who are allergic to and resent status nonsense conclude that bookshelves mean someone's a poser

That describes me to a fault. Very 'sensitive' to status. Anyone trying to convince is easily removed. I think of it as a credulity compulsion

I don't mean to imply I rule people out solely based on this. Someone with a full bookshelf and little practical experience does get a different path towards judgement, though.

I did say red flag, not checkered...
> this is a textbook example of false dilemma. If service is the bottleneck making the ordering process faster will make things worse, not better.

I’m sort of at a loss for words, I haven’t posed a dilemma, also do you think a server exclusively does one task and nothing else, or is it more fair to say they do multiple and eradicating one task frees up capacity for another?

As I’ve said I’ve seen the efficiencies first hand, and I gain nothing trying to explain them further at this point. Enjoy your day.

Edit for the below reply: apparently I’m a liar too? Super rude and highly disappointing. Systems like this have been rolled out in thousands if not millions of restaurants, apparently for no good reason..
Couldn't agree more, I'd love to see a range of standard licences for this business model, in a similar way to what we have with MIT, GPL etc.

This business model is still massively preferable to fully closed source in my view.
Wow, their example to "clean up the code" does a bit more than just refactoring to make code more readable, it appears to change the output.

One would have to check the resulting code carefully to see if the meaning is still as originally intended, or replaced with code that is more probable to be correct (but no longer working).

For instance, it replaces this:

if dataset == 'animals':
if dataset == 'turtle':
x_train, y_train, x_test, y_test = datasets.load_turtles(with_bowtie=False)
elif dataset = 'formal_turtle':
x_train, y_train, x_test, y_test = datasets.load_turtles(with_bowtie=True)
else:

with this:

if dataset == 'turtle':
x_train, y_train, x_test, y_test = datasets.load_turtles(with_bowtie=False)
elif dataset == 'formal_turtle':
x_train, y_train, x_test, y_test = datasets.load_turtles(with_bowtie=True)

The before-code responds to dataset='animals' with `load_turtles(...)` and to dataset='turtle' or 'formal_turtle' with an error; In the after-code this is reversed, although the apparent logic error and the assignment/equals sign error are resolved.

There is storage for that, which is now finally, available, inexpensive and safe. Plus, it's long since proven that with moderate losses, renewable electricity system that combines solar, wind, and hydro, does not need any storage at all, or very moderate amounts of storage to achieve no or almost no losses.
That's not entirely true. There are places in Z1-2 where people live in flatshares etc. on ordinary salaries. I lived in an ex-council flat near the Elephant with three other people for a few years, for example.

That doesn't change the substance of your point, though. Very few people living in Z1 or Z2 run a car unless they're rich: parking is extremely difficult and public transport is so good that there are very few reasons to want one unless you're regularly leaving London.

In the EU this would be illegal and (hopefully) lead to very high fines. So why would you try to help and conceal their criminal behaviour instead of reporting them?

Of course in other places, there aren't really any good options. So I guess the most "moral" approach would be to what you think would cause most financial damage to the business and discourage people from going there.
diesel-async works fine for almost all use-cases, it just layers over standard diesel calls via importing an async `RunQueryDsl` trait. I almost never think about it.
I don’t understand this comment - could you explain why?

Side-note: in the EU, it is currently surprisingly hard to comply with LEZ. Every state has their own scheme, with information only on third-party websites. Just some examples:

* France requires postal pre-registration (they send you a sticker)

* in Italy you have to check with each municipality, who at best show you a low-res drawing of the LEZ

* (Italy:) Google Maps doesn't know about Low Emission Zones, so it happily sends you through

* (Italy, too:) There seem to be very little pedestrian zones. You can drive everywhere, through the Low Traffic Zone might not permit you through. For Google Maps, you can drive everywhere… but you'll end up getting a fine.

I'd like to see way more LEZ, but in practice, it is such a mess unfortunately…

I find cyclists in London annoying too, but the vast majority of serious injuries to pedestrians are caused by cars.

As proof, I cite this amusingly stupid 2024 Daily Mail article which notes that "more than 30 pedestrians have been killed by cyclists over the past decade".

I count calories because I don't want to be fat again, having found fatness limiting. It has absolute nothing to do with meeting an arbitrary number and is not particularly gamified either. I need to track calories because otherwise I'll overeat.

This is a bizarre take on goal-setting in general. Would you complain about people who negotiate a raise of X dollars? No, you understand that money has value. Losing weight has value too, as do cardiovascular fitness and getting enough sleep. "Maybe you should find a hobby" is not an answer to me not wanting to be fat. It's a ridiculous non-sequitur. How on earth do you expect finding a hobby to stop me having a heart attack or losing a foot to diabetes?
Anecdotal sample from my village just outside Zone 6 (but inside M25): every single one of my neighbours has 2 cars, some have 3 (or 4). Basically every adult or young-adult member of the household who has to go somewhere on their own has a car. You could argue that they don't need that many, but take it this way: the reliability of the UK train network has become absolutely disgraceful. They are either on strike, or if they are not striking, then they are doing engineering works, and if neither of those are happening, then there is a major disruption. This means that in the last 6 months, I think there have been 2-3 weeks perhaps where the connection into London was reliable.

Unless you have a car, you are completely hosed.
Here's a hint: Eating at a restaurant is not like eating in a school canteen. And it's not about stilling your hunger. You can eat in any order and pace that you prefer. So if people arrive at different times, you can share some starters while waiting for the other people to arrive. Then jump into some main courses when everybody is ready.

You're not supposed to arrive hungry to a restaurant, then you are doing it wrong. It's not about filling your belly.
Yes Windows 2000 distracts me from what I want to actually do with a computer, point and click.

It absolutely prevents me from hitting the windows key and hitting the up button twice or three times mattering on if logout is there if my memory serves right after shutdown to get to run and then hit enter or just simply use the arrow keys on the desktop to get to my computer and hit enter which are all things I could do on Windows 3.1 by hitting the alt button to open up the menu or tab to switch between icons in the highlighted thing which are actually all things that I could do on Windows 2000 Windows XP Windows server 2003 Windows Vista Windows 7 Windows 8 Windows 8.1 Windows 10 Windows 11 Windows 98 Windows 95

I agree. I am typing on a Macbook Air but I don't like it much. Too thin, terrible keyboard, terrible buttonless trackpad. It has almost no ports and no expansion. There's no easy way to middle-click without addons.

The only reason I use it is its battery life. Work provided it; it's not mine and I'd not choose one myself.

For my own, I want a big thick chunky thing with 3 physical mouse buttons, lots of ports, a swappable (and ideally hot swappable) battery and ideally 2 of them.

There's a space for thin'n'light, but there are next to no commercial options for those who want fat'n'flexible.
There are several red flags in this situation:

1) ButterCMS should have informed their customers/users about what they missed.
2) The way the issue was introduced could have led to a significant supply chain vulnerability.
3) I haven't found any analysis or communication from ButterCMS addressing the issue with their customers.
4) There’s still no downtime indicator on their website.
Oh is it ? Seriously, they could make the phone wipe itself when a new faceid touchid sensor is put.

There is absolutely no reason to put a lock on these parts when other simpler solution exists.

Guess what happens when I unlock the bootloader of my Samsung ? It wipes itself. Samsung are as much secure as iphones yet they allow parts to be replaced, how can it be ? Korean are just stupid and apple knows better ?

And it's not just samsung, Google does it too.

There are many things great with iphone but it doesn't mean it's perfect in every way and everything apple say is true.
That is fantastic news if true. AWS and two other major cloud providers have done everything in their power to make it painful for businesses to switch off of them. Case in point: egress data fees are something like 80x compared to what the cloud provider actually pays. You still have to pay them in full unless you decide to leave AWS completely.

I'm glad the article talks about the positive impact this will have on Sizewell C. The UK completely disregards the long term impact of skills and experience lost when debating whether we should do this kind of project.
>> But... I mean the truth is more general than that. When I pressed a button to insert a random name into a prompt, my goal was not "yes give me this person's art for free", it was "style this somehow".

yeah and that's the problem. The style of an artist is a developed thing. To think that one could borrow your style not through learning and caring, but through mathematically analyzing the width, and colors, and patterns and applying it to a random noise — that's kinda insulting.
If nobody cares about my real work, why do they care about using my style, then? Develop your own an teach your AI on that, if there really isn't any difference.

People say that AI learns how a human would. But a human wouldn't (couldn't!) learn like an AI can. He can't look at the pixels, can't mechanically churn through patterns. If someone can learn from art like AI learns art, I would also be opposed to them learning anything from me :D
Completely agree with you.

If a restaurant has a QR-code menu, I ask for a physical one.

The article is a bit convoluted. The parts about the "if remote target" is unnecessarily repeated. The most recommended backup strategy is 3-2-1, regardless of what you want to backup. You could have explained that in the beginning and then just compared the different backup strategies -- cp, sqlite backup api, dumps -- and their advantages and disadvantages.

That's not the same though at all.. A closer analogy would be publicly announcing that "Company managing the storage lockers 1234 Central Boulevard, San Andreas is keeping all of them unlocked without telling their customers".

This also requires said vulnerable participants to stop having a deathwish. I'm scared to hell from cyclists in London, because they are inconsiderate and extremely unpredictable. Try rolling up to a major 4 lane intersection, and you are going to have cyclists materializing out of thin air on both sides.

Furthermore, visibility on UK roads is very poor. You often have very tall hedges lining streets, which means you can't see more than a few meters until the very last moment.

You'd need to basically rip up the entire city and rebuild it from scratch, and then replace all the inhabitants with rational actors. It's simply not going to happen otherwise.
With all due respect, that’s a blatant misunderstanding of gradle (though gradle’s documentation not being clear enough, giving to the spread of this misunderstanding is a fair criticism).

Gradle is not too powerful, it builds a build graph based on the .gradle file, and the building itself happens imperatively — but the actual execution is static, based on that fixed build graph. This configuration is cached and subsequent executions will all refer to this static graph to know what requires rebuilding.

This is the minimum required complexity/generality for a build system that is not “hardcoded” for a given task (e.g. to a degree maven, but cargo, go’s build tool etc all can only compile their respective languages on their own. “Plugins” can let them do more, but at that point plugins have to re-develop all the functionality of a build system - caching and parallelization), and as I mentioned there really are only a handful of tools capable of that.

As for valid criticisms of gradle - it’s API historically experiencing constant breakages, used to be dependent on JDK version (and lagged behind for a long time due to Groovy), which is more or less fixed now with toolchains, and the model not being clear enough for people not wanting to dive deep. E.g. I can count on a single hand how many people knows that doFirst/doLast should be used for the actual task itself, anything else will happen at the config build time which is not what you want.

They may record what I order (although the cafes and restaurants I go to use pen and paper or just plain-old human memory) but that's it. Even if they enter my order into some system for analytics or what have you, there's no cookies, no tracking, no transparent pixels, etc.

Look, all these micro-arguments about the micro-invasions of privacy are 'bread and circuses' [0]. We've entirely lost sight of what it means to be a private citizen just going about our own lives without every nanosecond being tracked, without every damn interaction being an opportunity for someone to skim a cent. Any micro-invasion can be 'justified': it's more convenient, I don't care about a restaurant chain knowing what I've ordered, I don't want to talk to other people, etc. But they all add up.

Societies are increasingly unhappy, anxious, overweight, polarised. The gap between ultra-rich and regular citizens is widening. It all adds up.

Yeah.. old man, cloud. Whatever. The overall evidence is stark and obvious, it just hides in the tiny details.
