Second that. Great to have a no-nonsense textbook in the space.

Ironically enough, I have a textbook for that: Jeff Pfeffer -- Power: why some people have it -- and others don't . It's good, and not what you would expect from the title.

Love that! I never understood why so many of us would use their affiliation's email address in print if they know that they would only be there for another 2--3 years.

The problem is that US universities charge exorbitant fees, and that creates a problem for exchange programs with (continental) European universities. American universities are mostly unwilling to waive fees for European students who are us

Thanks for the insight, that's really interesting, not just because it feeds into my bias. Those short-sighted design decisions are what I was vaguely thinking of, It is what often happens to me when I knock out a lot of work in a shor

Interesting. I had always though that Adderall might at a cost, I did not think it would be burnout. Was more curious how that would affect your sense of judgement etc. I am not primarily a coding person, and it always seemed more important

Renaturation is standard, but the environmental quality of result is still subpar. Sometimes it looks pretty, but plant and insect diversity is very low. It's a good idea to think about this -- i cannot think of any large scale example

Interesting concept. The constant modifiers in Emacs are really such a turn-off. I want to give Emacs another try, but I cannot understand why functionalities are accessed like this in the first place. In sublime text, with ctrl+shift+p I c

Oh, I meant separate as in separate sets of people. Two sets of people with different goals. The original anti-nuclear crowd is a social movement that aims to shut down existing nuclear capacity or to blockade new construction. The other is

Is it not an appropriate degree of grandeur?

You might have included the wrong link there. And with nuclear, always consider total cost, not operating cost. Not impossible to determine, but less reliable data floating around. You would have to take the cost of all failed projects as w

Touche! I would argue though that the anti (existing) nuclear energy movement is separate from advocacy for investing into renewables over nuclear for new capacity.

Well what a coincidence. Chances are there won't be 300M EVs on the streets by 2030 anyways, because by then we will have moved the goalpost far into the future anyways.

I won't hold my breath for that turn of events. Grid companies are not exactly known for proactively investing into infrastructure.

That sounds very Chaebol-y

I think it's even worse, because so many plants were built in the 70s and 80s, and then there is a large gap. So we don't even have the routine and economies of scale associated with an s-curve anymore. And new plants promise bett

The academic debate is generally dominated by two concerns around nuclear energy. The first one is that nuclear energy is by far the most expensive form by unit of energy produced. New project like to claim the opposite, but that is always

Interesting, I feel there is a difference, but I cannot quite put my finger on it. Ads on most websites feel more obtrusive. Maybe it's because on websites, there is a spatial separation, but in videos it is temporal? I can look at t

Of course the Chinese song is Little Apple, I should have known. The most ubiquitous Chinese song ever, soon 10 years running. So ubiquitous, it has an English wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_App

Puh, fun, yes. It's nice having a "conversation". But then everything that comes up I have to double check. As soon as the topic is somewhat specific, I can tell just by looking at it that the code won't work. So at the

Sounds potentially problematic, having a lot of members of one group, any group, in your intelligence service? But then again, i can imagine the type of person who would be willing to apply to an intelligence service in the first place...

```bash lstrip() { # Usage: lstrip "string" "pattern" printf '%s\n' "${1##$2}" } ``` Got me right at the start. I look this up about once a week. Time to put it .bashrc already.

I don't think "survive" is the right word. There are so many fields where orgs have tried and failed to replace Fortran. Maybe they have not tried as hard as they could, but the conversation was there. Why would they suddenly

Oh, I see. I vaguely remember using that html version before I got too invested in the "Promotion" and "Social" tabs as additional filters. It is very responsive though, maybe it's time to go back.
