A leak or accident in one of these deep-buried reactors could contaminate vast underground water reserves, rendering them unusable for generations. The environmental and human cost would be catastrophic and irreversible.
This should never be attempted.
Started on Emacs because that was what Prof required, after leaving school with a BS in CS, switched to VIM, years afterwards found a comfy place in Neovim managed in NixOS via Flakes & Home-Manager. A purely scriptable and declarative setup that can be reproduced on nearly any machine one might wish to work on. Scriptable interaction with Language Servers, Linters, Formatters and Debuggers in any language that is needed for work or fun (C, C++, Go, JavaScript, Lua, Python, Ruby, Rust, etc.)
Highly recommend.
The Observatory was a place I often found myself visiting at night, to enjoy star watching events and the dinner services were equally excellent and magical.
Fond memories. Sad to see it go.
Life is a cycle. Karma is a bitch. So be nice and diversify your skillset.
If one takes the time to learn the Nix language (and set up a working LSP), it's a totally painless experience, and if you are a fan of systems that just work, it's life affirming. It's stability is unparalleled.
I would never go back to any other distro.
A Gibsonesque global Turing Police is a sure sign of Dystopia.
It would be very cool to have a display with adjustable color.
What the hell is HN going on about with all of this; Have a family BS. It sounds like you're suffering some burnout, and it might be time to seek some help from a psychologist/psychiatrist.
Change up your training routine. Spend more time outdoors. Quit the dead-end tech job. Downsize and travel more.
Good luck!!
Houston, Texas, is coastal and has an elevation that averages around 13 meters above sea level. The ground composition in Houston is primarily made up of clay. Houston soil is notoriously heavy and has issues with drainage in construction. It's poorly suited for underground infrastructure development.
