My bad, sorry everyone. Guess this was all my fault.

It's been a while since I've used vim, but I definitely recall doing multiline editing as you describe in vim. There is a visual-block mode that does multiple cursor manipulation

I've been thinking about this. Some kind of universal modular system for storage, or other things, would be pretty interesting! Make a large flat piece (4x6) that you can screw legs onto the bottom, and now you have a configurable nigh

It's lego, they could sell the lego equivalent of the flat tile piece in whichever size is needed to have a smooth surface on top.

I'm also confused by this, does it get set a reference point once? If so what is the accuracy degradation, is it fixed over time or acceleration? If it's updated periodically what does that system look like? Is the advantage that

You'd need the mirror planes to be adjustable in the XY tilt directions. Seems doable though, would be a cool next project

The video is cheesy but to say we are powerless to predict and prepare, and hopefully mitigate, is nihilism and apathy.

I don't understand why nuclear waste is considered a significant issue. You either bury it, or leave it on site enclosed in concrete. We bury much worse chemicals with little to no regulation right now . There's many solutions to

No problem, this article is being shared on other news sites now. And it's genuinely confusing to me why the original nature article isn't linked, or why Figure 2 isn't shown in any of them. The figure speaks for itself and e

> a multi-billion dollar industrial infrastructure away from being able to build one. This is true! And the biggest reason why despite AQ Kahn selling a "make your own fat man" kit only a few countries were successful with it.

Yes, a nuclear modelling software called MCNP is widely used and written entirely in fortran. Some of its source code can date back to the dawn of computing in the 1940s! Edit to say I missed your newer project specification; MCNP is still

> Replaceable SSD, Keyboard, and Monitor for easy repair. Wow. By far the biggest selling point for me! I wouldn't even consider apple products for this reason.

In your example, of interfacing with Python, yes I would usually go for C because to interact with CPython needs a C ABI in the end. C++ requires another tool to get there (pybind, swig, etc).

? A nuclear power plant was built before the bombs. It's main purpose was to generate bomb material, but they definitely showed the principle worked and powered a lightbulb with it.

Researcher in Nuclear Engineering chiming in with a similar experience. Much of our code is the same way, and in fact our field more or less invented many computing methods used today. One widely used simulation code called MCNP [1] can t

My friend just started a job at LBNL and is loving it. LLNL is considered a great place to work as well. I can't speak to every single lab but I hear good things about working at both of them.

Many of us deliver much of our results publicly all the time. At ORNL any user can come and use our facilities. We've got a neutron beam system which I think exists only in one other place on Earth. In fact, users can use it for free

Yes, this has happened many times with medical radioisotopes. People find them in a scrap yard, get amazed by the glowing blue powder, and leave a deadly trail of contamination until it's discovered what happened.

I live in the valley, we are completely overwhelmed by people moving from the bay to the valley right now. I don't have numbers on how many people leaving SF are moving within state vs out of state but I would not be surprised if it&#x
