Poland went from Iran-level of economic development to Japan-level in a single generation

@Loveisunion @sky05485255 @LucienRizk @elonmusk 1. The older generation plants - sure. Newer generation plants run on the nuclear waste of prior generations. This is way safer while also cleaning up the mess.
2. Both of those incidents are due to human error. One in operation. The other in choosing a site.

[Jakub Chaba @jnchaba]

@sky05485255 @LucienRizk @elonmusk No, they think this because it is.

All nuclear accidents can be traced to either building a powerplant in a bad place (think Fukushima - on the coast, near/on a fault line prone to tsunami) or human error.

There isn’t a future using renewable energy without nuclear.

@petergyang @amasad @Replit you’re telling me the CEO of a company that makes a product to get rid of fullstack engineers is telling people not to be fullstack engineers?

gee wiz i wonder if there’s any conflict of interest there.

Took a break for a couple days. Now it's catch-up time!

Recursion to the rescue!

@ericwastl it would be interesting to break this down by the year of AOC; could give some interesting insights into which languages are "in vogue". could be done by filtering on date created.

Recursion and implementing functions I'm used to being in the standard library. This was fun!

Take aways:
- regex is not so scary after all
- go is still fast
- ok maybe regex is scary just not for this

Take aways:
- getting used to `:=` notation is taking some time

I've completed "Historian Hysteria" - Day 1 - Advent of Code 2024 https://t.co/hFLoJw4oe9 #AdventOfCode

First time:
- Using #golang for this
- Making my own util package for AOC
- Writing binary search from scratch since college

Binary search go brr.

@Anti_FPTP @ImTheTurtlePope @MTabarrok That’s not how open source works. You don’t have to accept upstream changes. If you do choose to pull them in, you having a fork of the codebase means you can reverse any changes and modify it to your liking.

So it turns out #ChatGPT can translate #code into bedtime stories. This begs the question whether bedtime stories can also be translated into code. Used my #adventofcode2022 day 4 solution as sample code.
