If you run the numbers, you’ll see that we are several orders of magnitude away from having anything close to the scale of energy storage needed unfortunately

Why?

by steeve 6y ago
Because it’s between two very stable geological layers that have been there for millenia.

There are multiple differences why it’s not the same in France. The biggest one being that in the US, a plant as to confirm to its design security specifications, whereas it France, it has to conform to the security specifications of when i

"unrecycable nuclear waste France was producing in 2016" Yeah so nuclear waste is recycled in large part. See Mox. But I agree, I wish we'd use FNRs too. Too bad the Green party shut down the first reactor (SuperPhenix) in

"India just turned up a 750MW facility successfully" That number doesn't say much, since the actual output will be a small percentage of that (15-20%).

> Afaik originally the life-span for most reactors of that kind was 40 years It is not. That number was made so that EDF would get a proper return of investment. Some plants based on the same design have been granted lifespan to 60 years

Unfortunately it is all true, which is why people here in France are getting pissed and protesting it. See https://www.reuters.com/article/us-france-nuclear-protest/pr...

"none of them matter to public opinion and politics" You are absolutely right. Which is why others way more qualified than I (climatologists, nuclear engineers) are trying to debunk those fallacious arguments and slowly people s

Actually, in France, nuclear has to give way to renewables. And because they are intermittent, has to rapidly ramp up/down. See https://twitter.com/TristanKamin/status/1247460245460443138?...

Few things: 1. The only body qualified to asses the safety of a nuclear power plant is the french nuclear safety agency, Autorité de Sûreté Nucléaire (ASN) 2. ASN deemed its security "very satisfying" [1] 3. The usual fallacious a

Respectfully, Covid statistics and mask defiance in the US are rather good counters arguments to your point.

We have been Go with Bazel for the last 2 1/2 years to build most of our backends, but also on mobile (gomobile) as well. It's not an easy tool, but it delivers amazingly and it's very, very reliable. Haven't run a bazel

I believe this commit has background: https://github.com/golang/crypto/commit/d6449816ce06963d9d13... To be fair though, that package was depending on a private API to begin with.

Elon Musk can be admired or despised for many reasons, but the merging of the companies with his persona was always troubling to me. I find it deeply unhealthy. Same with Jobs I guess.

I'm sorry you had this experience. I'm genuinely curious as to what the breakage was so hopefully we can prevent it for some other folks, hence why I asked if you remembered the specifics.
291.
by steeve 6y ago
Do you remember the specifics? I am not aware of syntax constructs that were removed in Go, I guess ever. EDIT: I'm sad folks are downvoting for asking a question...

I just came to say the same thing!

I just compiled a fairly complex (CGo etc...) project a few weeks ago which I hadn't compiled since 2014, and it just worked. So I guess YMMV...

That was my point. They are pushing Raoult the persona, and are never talking about the studies.

by steeve 6y ago
I'm glad HN is not jumping on the HCQ bandwagon blindly, and actively reads the studies which, unfortunately for all of us, don't show anything. It is quite disturbing, however, to see on French Twitter, the far right, complotists

They don't need to enable it, it's enabled. Yes, you can put mutable data in the DHT used by all libtorrent programs (qBittorrent for instance).

libtorrent implements it, so most torrent clients should have it

TailScale is to other VPNs what Docker was to LXC. Well, except Hamachi.

Been using it for the last few months and it's great. I use it for SSH, NAS etc... Also, being able to ping my iOS phone that's on 4G from my computer feels like magic.

If you look at the issue, they did make it work on WSL2
