That's a great summary of CRDTs, starting from the basics and to the more advanced ones. Speaking of Riak, it's still around, in the form of https://github.com/OpenRiak !

Wonder why they built them like that? How was the decision made, just simply incompetence: they didn't know how to do it any other way, delusion: they expected to be become the Google or the Microsoft of vacuums: they'd never go o

They basically advocate using R. I think it depends what they mean by "data science" and if the person will be doing just data science. If that's the case then R may be better. As in their whole career is going to built on th

Oh you're right. PET is silly to use. Polyethylene would be the right thing.

Yeah. I was listening to David Ruzic's video [1] about them getting one of those reactors on campus and when he showed the structure of beads, that's the first thing that popped in my head - at that size how are they going to ensu

Maybe as a special case then as a thin layer before following up with water or PET, or PET impregnated with boron. But would also need an extra layer following it for secondary gamma emission from neutron capture.

It works just like a nuclear reactor. Neutron hit U atoms, those split and emit more neutrons in a cascade. The configuration is set up to not be self sustaining. It’s a matter of geometry, enrichment level and such. Therefore it needs a so

Cf-252 is no joke though. It has to be carefully handled. It constantly emits neutrons. And those need shielding, something with lots of light atoms like hydrogen - water, PET or other plastics etc.
