That's true as well. ISPs have no interest allowing end users to host anything meaningful.

Anyone remember the P2P craze of the early 2000s'? Or was it late 90s? What's left over from that? Freenet? What I'm always wondering about: Someone needs to foot the server/bandwidth bills. Who? If you run a Pi on your

I like the distinction between spatial and temporal aspects of programming languages. I'm wondering if the author knows Lisp though, which helps translating between those two views of code in important ways (like Homoiconicity). Also,

While LENR and CANR research has seen a significant amount of charlatans, there's a large body of papers available and there's yearly meetings. More details here: https://lenr-canr.org/ I've yet to make up my

It is simply mind-boggling how much effort the JS community has put into working around the performance properties of a document layout engine to make it 'interactive' and 'responsive'. With only 3 major rendering engine

'Ever did' - probably not. To you personally, yes, the coal plant would be more damaging. No one is advocating for coal here. It's terrible.

1% is not a point of view. It is a fact.

Yes, coal is worse, no, a 1% failure rate is NOT acceptable. That is just a simple fact.

Risks have been carefully measured and assessed for most incidents. You can read up on the numbers elsewhere. Doesn't mean you want to be living next to a nuclear power plant. And it gives no comfort to people who have their health si

I'm sure for all the people developing cancer because of this 'minor component' it ain't a 'minor' component. You can rebuild houses, you can re-grow crop, but you can't clean up nuclear waste effectively.

There's no argument for the safety of nuclear to be had. With an unacceptable failure rate for existing plants, very costly new "safe" designs and lower and lower cost for reneweables, nuclear is quickly becoming obsolete. It

A 1% failure rate is not irrational fear.

A 1% failure rate is not acceptable. Nice try downplaying the actual consequences of a reactor incident like Chernobyl. Do I have to mention radioactive boars roaming in Bavarian forests again? The billions in costs to an economy? The only

And ignore the 1% failure rate for commercial nuclear power plants. And the clean up costs. And the waste storage costs. And the decommissioning costs. Nuclear doesn't make sense. Economically and ecologically.

Just say no to ORM. Apart from the usual problems with impedance mismatch, there's one thing that is rarely talked about: Waste. Most ORMs work like that: You get a request, you start a transaction, you begin instantiating lots of obje

I picked on needless complexity due to top-down design not on static typing per se. Here's a good video highlighting the difference of approach. Well worth watching. Applies to how many Java architects would design a solution. I see th

Typescript is becoming a popular alternative to JS and is often being chosen to correct the perceived shortcomings of JS. Just like ClojureScript, which is often chosen to correct the perceived shortcomings of JS ;)

This is super condensed but still very readable if you know Reagent and Hiccup. It's interesting to compare this to a lot of tetris clones written in TypeScript. There are a few that take enormous pleasure in defining a type hierarchy

Or we stop building power plants that are un-insurable? How about that...

If your configuration files are so hard to write that you need to use a templating language that is even harder to write, maybe you need to re-think what a configuration is.

Can I also say: Please don't use YAML as config files. Any non-trivial YAML file can be messed up way too easy.

Looks like the traditional caveats for ORMs would apply here. Many painful lessons have been learned in that field. What would be interesting to see is the cost of change i.e. how de-coupled things are to make changes simple. Changes like:

Renewables can replace all of those: coal, gas, nuclear, oil. No reason to be flabbergasted.

by beders 8y ago
Can we get something straight about nuclear power? A 1% failure rate is not acceptable. We don't need nuclear power. Renewables are cheaper, storage solutions are available and there are whole countries on close to 100% renewable power

You arguments are all nice and dandy - but who uses OOP like this? And you still have the state being all over the place problem. I think I made it clear that OOP is fine if you can afford to live in that space. In practice you often can
