I'm sorry, but comparing the nuclear waste to the waste provided by solar panels is absolute lunacy.

> Cooling a melting reactor can be done very safely now if people put the effort in. Cooling a reactor built when??? What do we do with the old reactors? How are you so sure we won't make mistakes of a similar magnitude to the 1960s

In 2080 people will be saying the same thing about reactors built now. I'm certain of it.

It sounds like a headline an organisation formed to lobby for the nuclear industry might use.

Houses are bigger. I think this is the main contributing factor.

We're not likely to agree. If small pockets of rock, mineral, gas and oil can be found above the surface; it stands to reason that your 1000 year prophecy is optimistic.

Just because something has been buried, doesn't mean it will stay buried. I appreciate we're in a bind, but nuclear has huge conceptual and practical problems. It would be more sensible to reduce usage and rely on 100% renewables.

I don't know how to say this any other way. I think you are entirely incorrect. Typescript is absolutely not the solution.

It's not _the_ problem. It's another problem. Even without the inevitable accidents (which apparently won't happen with new generation plants) .. we are left with waste. You're describing nuclear fission as a stop gap so

No. The problem is ending up with an amount of waste that will hang around for longer than we do, _while_ we get to B.

You're making a false dichotomy. It's obviously not a question of either coal or nuclear. Renewables will provide a better solution. Solving the problems you've identified, would lead to far better line of attack.

My view is accidents will always happen. With nuclear, the potential for harm _when_ these accidents occur, is too great.

You have a point, but ultimately the internet is now almost entirely profit driven and largely controlled by a few key players. The landscape is very different; I'd argue society is not in a better position as a result.

I cannot see how nuclear power is worth the risk. There are usually a large number of pro nuclear comments on articles related to nuclear power on HN. Events like this help to confirm my point of view. -- Edit: Here we go, downvoting begins

How do you key the ⍳ character easily?

by lwhi 5y ago
I agree re. the assumption; and also the resolution. I also think it's worth calling it out too though.

Having to override styles that have random namespace tokens in the class names (via CSS in JS) is going to be difficult.
709.
by lwhi 5y ago
True, but I'm wondering how the CSS in JS users would implement this.

Could you please explain what you mean?

I believe any extra layer between intention and result will create extra complexity. CSS in JS just isn't required a lot of the time. We have more mature methodologies available.

by lwhi 5y ago
Sure CSS isn't a programming language. However, when used correctly you can create a system that will allow you maintain and apply your presentation layer in an efficient, extensible, consistent and reusable way. Lack of knowledge isn&

I agree, I don't know why you're being downvoted.

Is complexity a drawback?

by lwhi 5y ago
We'll have to agree to disagree.

by lwhi 5y ago
Imagine you need to implement an alternative stylesheet for people with increased visual needs (e.g. high contrast). How would you go about doing this? -- Edit: to the person who downvoted me for asking a question. Classy.

If you want to replace all the styling in your project, because you've had a rebrand; I would argue that CSS in JS makes your life more difficult. If you want to share styling between your app and your website; I would also state that

We are not living in a world of absolutes. To put it simply, being able to replace the presentation layer _easily_ is a benefit to many projects > I've never seen a project that actually had meaningful "separation of concerns&q

I disagree. You're being obtuse. JavaScript is used for more than presentation.
