#1 sounds awesome, our senior design project was on continuous pyroprocessing of HLW SNF in order to retrieve the remaining enriched Uranium while leaving the rest as proliferation-resistant waste. I'm not sure what techniques you are

I started playing D&D when 4e came out in high school. I switched over to Pathfinder after two years or so when I went off to college. Pathfinder was ditched for GURPS the last year in college and I've been using it ever since, and

Nuclear engineer by formal education, mostly self-taught in the realm of computing. Enough to get an internship at Cisco during college. Here for all the same reasons OP is, with the addition that the community is by far one of the most enr

The Douglas Crockford videos were suggested to me when I was interning at Cisco and had never touched Javascript before. While it didn't exactly teach me how to program the solution for my particular problems in Javascript, it provided

I've started a small project for some key-frame morphing algorithms, but in its current form it looks more like an exercise than a library.

I assume the email forgot to include the standard legal disclaimer and "delete-if-unintended-recipient" footer notice? Would that actually protect them if that was present on the email?

I agree with you. What I really dislike though is how this kind of hate begets more hate. I was surprised to see so many downvoted-into-oblivion comments so soon after submission. There's already foul name calling, and hints of intoler

We are still using distributions in FORTRAN written decades ago to generate random numbers in a variety of distributions. Having support for the inverse standard normal CDF would be incredibly helpful, especially when I had to go back in an

I just bought 999999 ish grain and it bumped it back to 10 gold, it seems. EDIT: wool is going for 1.394975940552513e+27 gold! EDIT2: The above seems to be causing the real-money trade to display "NaN" gold for $5 etc.

Unsure if this is intended - but it appears the first castle I was placed in also belongs to another person. My username is SimpleGuy. Not sure if the rollback had anything to do with that.

I had the privilege of touring and getting to see the reactor directly for an ANS student conference. Even without the politics about keeping the reactor active, the way the graduate students use the reactor seems to already be mired in bur

Go's core philosophy for concurrency is: Do not communicate by sharing memory; instead, share memory by communicating [1]. I have not tried to share memory (ex: a pointer-to-struct) between two different go threads before, so I can&#

One thing I've never quite understood is how a lot of Go code (including this blog post) handles package-level vars. Things like gorilla's CookieStore/Upgrader or application-specific structs like a hub, database connection,

I agree with the general premise. However, I also believe there's probably a way to shift the threshold depending on the culture and community. When I was asked to be a moderator of brand-new (at the time) forums for a very popular Min

It is a shame that such a delightful piece of technology is getting mired in human politics. The complaint, being from one viewpoint, definitely portrays a grey area during those two years of ZeniMax "nicely asking". I guess I am

I'm surprised at the mentioning of nuclear power plants. As an insider looking out, is it really that taboo to discuss? As an aside, I feel like the few conversations I've seen on HN surrounding it are well-informed and generally

The question of sustainable fusion receives a lot of press regardless whether it is a Tokamak or laser-ignited fuel pellets. However, the question I'd always love to see get some attention is the engineering required to make it a succe

"Designation for destruction in 1964" is a textbook example of how discrimination is still perpetuated here. We try so hard to be a progressive state (ex: RTP) but the fact is our heritage includes the enslavement of a race, and i
