Did you know that coal ashes is also a bit radioactive? Contrary to the fuel of a nuclear power plant which is very radioactive but well contained, these ashes are just spread in the atmosphere during normal operation.
1. A fossil fuel is a hydrocarbon-containing material. The fuel used for nuclear doesn't fit that description.
2. We're talking about fission, not fusion
3. We have enough of these non-renewable metals for a very long time.
Your link show the opposite of what you claim. According to the main graph. Nuclear generation is not more expensive than other sources.
Also the costs at the output of the generator is one thing, but what counts is actually the cost of the useful power used. And renewables puts a lot of extra cost on the grid.
Yes. Unless you use `unsafe`. Then the undefined behaviour rules gets even more difficult I'd say.
For example, as mentioned in another comment, by making all read and write `volatile`, that way, dangling pointer and out of bounds are "defined" to be memory corruption or crash, and not the compiler optimizing the code in a way that the programmer did not enticipate.
Also, the car having automated sound alerts, or following the road and breaking automatically helps
Wikipedia for example
Edit: oh, and Hackernews, too
> make large areas unlivable for thousands of years
I think you are over-estimating the cost of this.
I contest the use of 'large'.
The 30km radius exclusion zone is nothing compared to the surface occupied by deserts, ice floe, or whatever of the many others existing unhinabitable places.
> and affect multiple countries and also killing a lot of people.
Because the war has been doing that already, at a even larger scale: thousands of civilians killed, many wounded, millions displaced. That's already worse than the consequences of a nuclear meltdown.
The German are uneasy because of irrational fear and exaggerated risks.
Even if the worst happen at that nuclear power plant, it will still be a small disaster compared to all the causalities that already have happened in Ukraine the last few weeks (you know: the war)
> Global warming continues to be a civilization-ending level threat,
Global warming is a threat that will have tons of negative impact. But is it really "civilization-ending"?
According to the Linear-no-threshold model [1], any level of radiation, no matter how small, causes cancer. According to this model, the 1,000 μsv/year of normal background radiation already cause cancer for 1% of people. And any additional dose increase the risk further.
[1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_no-threshold_model
However this model is contested. And the analysis on the cancers incidence in Hiroshima and Nagasaki and Chernobyl seems to indicate that this model is flawed. The exact model is difficult to estimate because of the low number of extra cancer is lost in the noise.
It's like asking "do you accept bitcoin to circumvent tax law"
First of all, bitcoin does not circonvent tax law. (And linking does not circonvent GPL)
Qt is already idiomatic C++17. Isn't it?
Never done RISC-V, but for ARM, this is trivial, one just have to rustup the right target stdlib, and then pass --target to cargo and done.
Well, at least that's that easy if what you try to compile don't have C dependencies. For C dependencies, there is cross <
https://github.com/cross-rs/cross> which I had good experiences with.
Exactly. But there are already bindings to Qt in different states. Let's see if this one bring anything.
There are already plenty of GUI solutions for rust. All with a diverse level of polishing and convenience.
I believe you're orders of magnitude off.
Even with less regulation, the problem is that it takes a huge amount of capital, and you need a decade or more to get return on your investment.
So it is really not that interesting for a private investor.
> For the waste we have no solution that works, except for storage, which has tons of risk
And instead, you burn coal and Gaz which creates even more waste which we can't even store. The difference is that the nuclear waste are localised near you, while the CO2 is spread globally and mostly affect warmer country we don't care about.
> So simply put, there are around 17 meteors every year that hit ground and can cause a disaster
The disaster is made worse because of nuclear infrastructure. But I don't see the point. It is already a disaster to begin with.
Look at Fukushima, the real disaster was the earthquake and tsunami that killed and destroyed lots of homes. The incident in the nuclear plant in the area did make it slightly worse, but not by much. Even though the media seem to blame the whole thing on the power plant.
> This is also due to the ecological impact it had on Germany.
What impact did it had on the environment in Germany?
Signed overflow is not defined in C++

Be careful about undefined behaviour still. Even if your architecture have defined semantic, the compiler might still not assume them.
Maybe it depends on the cities but where I live, these scooters are limited to about 12.5 mph (20 km/h), and are supposed to share the space with bikes on the bike lanes and road, not on the sidewalk.
So while they are indeed parked on the sidewalk everywhere, I do not see them as dangerous at all.
if you have better example suggestions, you can easily make a pull requests with them.
There is also the compilation time. So it depends if the program is meant to be run about as many time as being compiled (during development)
Or if the program is compiled once, and run millions of times
They should throw AI at this problem.
Yeah, humans have lived fine before fossil fuels so we can do it again, right?
Just kill half of them. And let 90% of the remaining population work in the fields like slaves. Easy /s
GitHub claim this is 93% C and 3.8% C++, despite it being entirely in C++ (and a bit of ASM). I guess GitHub just consider that a .h file is a C file
> Imagine becoming a felon because the police searched your phone and found a discussion between you and your friend about buying LSD, and discovering that the legal basis for that search was that your phone was in the vicinity of a crime scene a couple of years ago.
I fail to understand what's wrong with that.
If you did commit a felony, should you not be prosecuted for it regardless on how it came to light?
(Now there is the question whether buying LSD should really be a felony, but that's a different problem entirely)
