I've only watched the video, so I don't know a lot about the tool. But from what I can tell, it's a really neat way to view text as it's streaming through a pipe, _and_ it keeps a line at the bottom, for you to be able t

Oh hey! Appreciate the work you've done, thanks for keeping the project alive!

I'm actually not too familiar with it, I was too young to use the original Winamp back when it was released, and can only remember playing around with the skins, along with RealPlayer on Win98 I'm guessing they went with version 5

Interestingly enough, there has been a community project dedicated to keeping the last Winamp version alive (last version from the original creators), and it really great to use. https://getwacup.com/ It includes a skin tha

The inability to find joy in things you normally do, feeling tired all the time, even when there is no reason for it, over an extended period of time, are all red flags for depression requiring intervention. As far as I've seen, there

Does anyone have access to the reports from the scientists? I'd be really interested to see the kinds of stuff they predicted, in case there are any events that haven't occurred even on a small scale yet

I both love and hate this idea

Debating it is difficult, its a really nuanced topic. It's way too easy for it to devolve into a "you're with us or you're against us" type of argument. And of course, like you said, deeply entrenched industry leade

In the case of a ship or sub, in the event of both catastrophic failure, or even a material leak, its likely going to end up in the ocean. Water is an excellent radiation shield (though I guess it doesn't matter much, since no one woul

When it comes to base load, nuclear is pretty interesting. I remember reading that some plants sell electricity at below cost during low periods (nighttime in some locations), since they can't ramp the reactor up or down quickly. It&#x

Fun fact, Bhopal was so egregiously horrible, that it is what led to the create of the CSB (Chemical Safety Board). A lot of their investigation videos are on youtube, and absolutely worth watching

I mean, you're not wrong. I'm just thinking that the larger nuclear plants are a safer than deploying many small reactors

by caddywompus 5y ago
Yes, absolutely! Coal is pretty much the worst of the worst. My concerns are solely with how fuel would be managed, so that it isn't lost, and subsequently broken. One example was scrap workers taking a radioactive source to a scrap ya

That's a really good point. Something like that could be used to make a "dirty bomb" which aims to disperse material, rather than try to make it react as in a typical nuclear warhead

Yes, I was really disheartened when I learned that my city only recycles a few types of plastic, and most of it just goes to the landfill. And now its being theorized that oil industries encouraged recycling as a solution, even knowing its

These are really interesting! It looks to me like the tiny containers and materials are meant to prevent unintended fission rather than shielding from radioactive decay. Still, I'd imagine identification and cleanup would be much easie

I don't think you can really compare the poisonous emissions of diesel exhaust leaked materials from a reactor. I see your point, any nuclear excursion tends to get blown out of proportion, but it does have some unique dangers. In part
19.
by caddywompus 5y ago
Ah that is true. In that case the danger would be in the tracking and storage of fuel elements. Assuming re-fueling is required infrequently enough that a regulator organization could keep tabs on them. Although in that case the danger woul

Definitely, but those figures can't be compared directly, since deaths by air pollution are caused by industry scale deployment of both small and large power plants/generators/engines. I fail to see how [2] is related in any

I expect there will be a lot of comments defending nuclear power, and I agree, it has its place in moving humanity forward to a greener future. However! I believe that the main benefit of central nuclear plants, is there ability to keep poi

The last page of the Linear Tech application note is certainly not something I expected to see. Glad to see they're having some fun

by caddywompus 6y ago
I think you're right. The system expects a certain voltage, if the load increases too much, the generators would struggle to keep up, and the voltage would begin to drop. However, the total amount of power would remain the same, which

Problem is, there are a ton of ways that these companies track you, not just through session cookies. Some of the methods are explained here: https://pixelprivacy.com/resources/browser-fingerprinting/

I think what they mean is, how can you track which companies are not complicit, how do you organize the proof so that you can levy the fine successfully

Perhaps they don't intend to use the data as telemetry, but regardless, intentionally or not, they are receiving information about what you are running, even if it were just a hash of the binary. So you're right, it would be a tri

Is it? The use of markdown is to prevent having to write out html tags for formatting. And in the end, HTML will be one of the target outputs. Even sites that accept HTML directly, are doing so through the use of a Javascript WYSIWYG editor

I'd never seen Tree Language designer before, this is a really cool tool! Thanks for the link
