Actually, quite a bit of capacity was made up by not exporting so much capacity to France and other nations. Yes, before the nuclear transition, Germany exported quite a lot of energy to France, the supposed smart nuclear country.

Then you don't understand power generation. Especially as long as fossil fuel power generation is still online, any non-fossil fuel power generation, even supposedly unstable, is worth-while because it reduces greenhouse emissions. The

Talk to people involved in the Fukushima cleanup about "externalities" some time. Nuclear power is only cheap if you ignore that in essence, the whole society is carrying the risk of almost anything that goes wrong. A nuclear powe

Actually no, coal will be phased out much sooner than "decades".

Then learn to read a chart. You are either lying or getting your facts wrong. Less coal plants have been reopened than have been shut down before. Yes, the plan was to get rid of coal sooner, the Ukraine war made that harder. Actually some

That's just a big fat lie. Even in Germany, the country you malign so much, coal power generation did not increase in the last few years. Not even when transitioning from Russian natural gas.

Fukushima was another reminder that you don't know what you don't know. And with nuclear power, if you don't know something, a whole chunk of your country needs to get evacuated and cleaned up at a stupendous cost.

Politicians are accountable by voters and voters object to have nuclear waste stored near their homes. Even those who don't think it's a problem and believe the scientists who say "this will never be a problem" (and they

Nope, Nope, Nope. France wanted to have nuclear weapons. Germany wasn't allowed to have them and we mostly didn't want to have them in any case (after WWII at least). Germany's nuclear infrastructure was just as "sustain

France subsidized nuclear energy in order to get nuclear weapons. So the incentive is (perceived) national security. Germany was prevented from having nuclear weapons by various treaties.

It won't make sense to you. I don't believe you a tiny bit when you say you want to understand it. But yes, there are rational arguments. It is entirely rational not to believe "scientific" risk estimates after a couple

Understanding that part means you know where to use memoization to speed up what needs to speeding up. Which isn't that much, usually.

I have a hard time assuming you are not confusing network delays with rendering speed...

I had the exact opposite experience. I mean, first of all, people using "VanillaJS" get the DOM manipulation wrong a lot more often. And then I do hope you don't conflate code size with complexity, because of course, direct D

Rust won't give you a lot that Go doesn't give you. Certainly not a better salary. Beyond that... Rust forces you to care about allocation, deallocation, borrowing, all the low level stuff, while not necessarily being faster. To m

I feel much happier writing functional code than OOP code... And I don't believe much in engineers believing in the company's mission. That is an HR delusion, in my opinion. Yes, of course, some buy-in is good, even ideal, especia

Then you would need to show me proof that other frameworks handle similar complexity with less performance degradation or optimize with less pain. My general advice in such cases would be to strive for more isolation. Do use Redux. Don&#x27

Bullshit. "React is super slow" is just not true in any shape or form. Especially not React itself. And even if React itself or the way it does things is "too slow" (which is the only metric that counts) then there are e

At the moment I have a bit of an opposite problem from the "don't hire for passion only": I can't find a new job because I can't hide my passion and experience in Python well enough and somehow Python is regarded as

"Turning jupyter notebook into a website" is a very broad task. From the question body I gather the specific task is to deploy a jupyter notebook server. For that you just need a generic VM, install and start up jupyter with the r

Prusa is struggling with producing Chinese 3D printers outside China... Because they really aren't that much better than Artillery or Creality (and probably others), just at double the price, usually.

You can get away with more in China. On the small scale, things like faking beer (seriously...), scamming people, and on the bigger scale as well.

Going open source and then complaining about getting cloned and lack of reciprocity is sort of ... naive? It's what you signed up for. Prusa printers are much too expensive for the quality they have (as compared to the market). And the

You suffer from extreme black and white thinking. There can either be full democracy or no democracy, right? In reality there are blemishes, deficits in a democracy. Some are quite minor, like an extremely well educated 15 year old not bein

Polls quite consistently confirm a support for reproductive rights. You seem you know nothing about electoral politics in the US and how voter suppression, gerrymandering and other factors make such statements as yours entirely ridiculous.

The argument about age is that you need to be of a certain age to make these decisions. Not because you shouldn't have the right, but rather because you don't have the facilities yet to "rule yourself and others". And th

Democratic means all the people rule. Look it up some time. If you kill off a part of those people they don't rule. If you don't let them vote, if you deny them certain other rights and liberty, they don't rule. This is much

You have no clue about democracy. Not understanding this very point is extremely dangerous. A majority vote on a tax law is not a problem. A majority vote on killing off a minority very much is, but that's just the most extreme and obv

You don't have any proof that women prefer men in power. You just assume that. And you probably lack any education about the gazillion things that even shape the choices those female electors have in that regard. Even if those women co
