But I hardly understand the old phenomena!

This sounds really expensive. 5G as a backup makes sense, but 30 bucks is actual primary service money, not just in case money.

Make it 5 and I would consider it.

Lemy has such a hard on against nuclear

Maybe you should spend more time outside. Every flavor of nuclear has worse approval ratings than most dirtbag politicians.

I’m seeing reports by antinuclear think tank grifters shoved in my face almost daily…

Why do you think you need to PAY people to oppose nuclear? After seven decades of cockamamie “this time it’s different” schemes most people just moved on.

No. I’m not German. We run our reactors as long as possible because free money is free money ;)

Nuclear technologies missed their window. The use cases where they are the best technical solution now are extremely limited, and that means you can get the investment going to improve them.

It’s a curiosity now.

There’s an alternative timeline where Chernobyl doesn’t happen and we decarbonize by leaning on nuclear in the nineties, then transition to renewables about now. But that’s not our timeline. And if it were, it would be in the past now.

Surely you made a typo? 50 MW is a tenth of the electrical yield of the smallest PWR you can profitably operate.

Fucking finally!

I mean, I’m still going to get almost everything from the App Store, but it’s nice to have the option for the few niche things.

It’s not meant as an insult. It’s an intelligence term of art.

But yes, I also think you are a plain old regular idiot too.

Was just a question

The useful idiot’s rallying cry!

Hums the Internationale while reading the article.

Is even better! When a field changes from male dominated to female dominated, incomes across the field plummet!

Who made you king then?

Python has gotten faster, but it’s still nowhere near what you expect from traditional compiled languages. It can’t be.
The trick to writing performant Python code is to get good (native) libraries and let it handle the heavy lifting.

For performance sensitive stuff, the fact that pure Python is very slow really matters. For stuff that’s not performance sensitive (that is, 99% of the code out there) it doesn’t really matter, but even then it’s better to be fast than to be slow.

Now this is not something I would ordinarily have a problem with. I use Python for a reason and it’s not performance. But if I end up writing Python like it’s rust, I might as well do rust and reap the (massive!!!) performance and memory profile benefits too while I’m at it.

My main issue is that you’re going through all that trouble and still get Python-level performance.

I really like Python, but there are better typed languages out there. Also, faster ones.

It’s about being self sufficient so you don’t have to buy from abroad. That would be sensible were we in or out of the EU.

No. No it would not.

That’s good and all, but I’d prefer a law that bans corporations from selling personal information.

It’s not about what people need. It’s about building infrastructure for new services and applications.

Besides, digging a trench is digging a trench. Just put in the fiber. It’s 2023.

I’m an Apple person, but for customizability you can’t beat a google pixel with an unlocked boot loader. You can literally run anything you want.

It goes to another school. You would not know it.
