Yes, but the overall we get "more power out of the building then we put in" isn't the goal. They are trying to drive the Q factor of the reaction itself up. If they get that to > 5x what the laser strike hits (a very real

If they replaced the lasers in this building from the 90's with a modern light source it would immediately do two orders of magnitude. Research like this needs to focus on solving, and experimenting with one problem (in this case the p

The NIF uses lasers produced in the 90's because their core mission isn't to make lasers better. We already have lasers which are 20x more efficient, and hitting a pellet 10*s is a trivial task. Those lasers can fire a 1khz or bet

Yes, _but_ the problem of generating laser light efficiently has and is being solved for elsewhere. Which is why the NIF didn't focus on, or update their lasers. This is a major problem for semiconductor lithography for example, and r

_without basic cs knowledge_ is the second part of that sentence you cut out. Go is easy to learn, for developers who already have fluency with notions such as pass by reference, typing, etc.

Operator overloading is more or less banned in most style guides unless you're working with well known "math" types. And for good reason. I'd love anyone to tell me what the (^@?!) operator in Haskell's popular lens

I believe you're conflating "simple in design" with "simple/easy to learn". Go is simple is design. It's not targeted to be easy to learn for someone without basic cs knowledge. As a meta some time spent w

> That you can zip a large movie file, for example, owes to the fact that pixel colors have a statistical pattern, the way English words do. Engineers can build probabilistic models for patterns of pixel colors from one frame to the next

Yes but communism is in and religion is out, so making that observation is also démodé.

In many practical cases you can sort in O(n) since comparisons out to 512 bytes are a single op on a modern CPU.

The question isn't _new_ runs of fiber vs coax, everyone just runs fiber for that. It's the cost of upgrading existing runs. HFC (hybrid fiber coax) networks have been the norm for a long time. When the original coax was run it wa

There are a variety of solutions to this but CRDTs are a very good one (CRDTs solve your problem ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conflict-free_replicated_data_... ). If the operations you're doing commute (that is a

A lot of people don't know about the related segment and interval trees. Both efficiently allow you to compute all time ranges that overlap a point. This can be generalized to higher dimensional spaces. For example if you have a set of

Here is one not on the list so far: Set Sketches. They allow you compute the difference between two sets (for example to see if data has been replicated between two nodes) WITHOUT transmitting all the keys in one set to another. Say you hav

Y-fast tries are some of my favorites. I think they are heavily under utilized in modern terms. They sat by the the wayside for a long term because datasets where relatively small, at the time they where created ram didn't exist, and b

I highly disagree with the interfaces criticism. Firstly You can literally just use one of the dozens of go lsps or code tools to search for API invocations to find what structs are passed/called into it. More importantly if you need t

No, it's not. Arson is the historically most common method of mass murder and is actually deadlier.

Arson is historically a more effective mass murder device and used extensively. As well as bombs, cars, poison and many other things.
