I think you might have skipped over the 10,000+ years of strict feudalism, a shrouded theocracy pushing their century-spanning agendas, aristocracy through landed gentry, and a drug-addled transportation cartel, all overseen by a massive, m

Day by day it feels less and less like regular data modeling and more like a debate with Jordan Peterson where you argue for ten hours what a "name" is. Eventually you end up having to make choices and deal with the consequences.

Yes, of course, nothing is 100%. But vaccines reduce both the severity and duration of illness, thereby reducing the risk and severity of brain damage. And don't get me started on measles.

And JSX is not needed either, as seen with Threlte. https://threlte.xyz/ When all you know is React, everything gets viewed through that limited lens.

> I don't see how one can possibly do that analysis. Classic argument from ignorance fallacy. Because YOU cannot see how it could be done, no one has ever figured out how it could be done.

Not only was a design ready to be built, it was built. Went online 39 years ago. Produced 1.2GWe at peak. Not only produced power on its own but reprocessed spent fuel from other nuclear reactors. Decommissioned 28 years ago. Because it did

Okay, I stand corrected. Now my question to you is how are you generating all these terabytes over the internet? And would data transfer costs really be a significant portion of your bill at that scale regardless of cloud provider? Not vide

Defined good code TO YOU. You've failed to recognize there is no objective and universally recognized metric for good code within our industry. The closest thing we have to it is number of defects per line of code and how severe those

Nice straw man you've constructed and burnt down. Those are NOT the safety arguments used within the industry. For example in a molten salt reactor, the fuel is already melted! If it gets too hot, thermal expansion moves the radioactiv

Increasing the heat past a certain threshold reduces the nuclear reactivity. Read up on "passive safety". Teller may have warned about this in 1967, but nuclear technology hasn't been stagnant since 1967. Folks read his stuff

Since PV needs batteries to be grid-useful (duck curve and all that), it's perfectly reasonable to have both. And no, hydrogen as the storage system doesn't make batteries redundant. Law of conservation of energy. You are talkin

That's an indictment of ORMs more than an evaluation of database options.

Why should I defend Rust? You haven't even defined "good code", which has eluded the best minds in the field for as long as the field has existed. You are not a serious person.

"…by being cleverer." Like harnessing the atom for enormous amounts of 24/7 power per unit volume of fuel and not emitting CO2 while we do it? Yes! Let's do that! And work on making reprocessing more affordable, so we do

All of that when the author could have just said, "Georgism and a land value tax." At best this seems like a macroeconomic unit test for Georgism—which could be a good thing.
