For the state of the art vim and emacs go support, look at gocode, which runs an auto completion daemon.

I don't know what you mean by "forcing this attitude on the tooling". The only thing that people tend eschew a tool for is if it's too big, like ides tend to be. Go has a plan9 heritage, and therefore a unix heritage. People like the tools to be small and designed to integrate. The reason that I like writing go is because save for C, nothing else feels as unixy, as vague as that sounds.

It sounds like you ran into some hostility. If people are railing on others about their IDE usage, they're assholes, and assholes do tend to stick out. Go is opinionated, and while that tends to make for a cohesive ecosystem, it also attracts assholes unfortunately. Most go developers, though, while they aren't interested in an IDE for themselves, have no problem with someone else using one if they prefer that mode of working.

10,000 ft has to be above or near the "service ceiling" of what a quad copter is even capable of. As altitude increases, air density decreases. The copter will have to work very hard, and will have less control force available. I think you're over-estimating the available power of a quad copter.

I think it's a certainty that one would/should have a video system for operating without line-of-sight. Video systems are common in high-end equipment.

>Personally I put most of the sightings into the mass-hysteria camp. I know there are idiots out there flying in controlled space, but I also think things are being blown way out of proportion.

Yeah. Agreed.

>>I found a site that did the speed/climd rate calculations. My numbers are bit off. The DJI, a common platform, could hit 3km in about 5.5 minutes and a 250 racing quad could do it in about 5. With about 20 minutes of battery power that leaves maybe 5-10 minutes of loiter time.

10,000 ft seems right at the edge of what the things can even do. They aren't going to be stable or easy to fly/land like a fixed wing aircraft would.

edit: forgot part of my post.

>I'd really love to see the math on the probability of a tiny quad intersecting the flight path of a firefighting aircraft at 3km altitude though. They are small and that's a LOT of open space.

"Big Sky" theory doesn't give me as much comfort as it ought to.

>I can barely spot one against the open sky at a few hundred feet up. If these guys spotted one they must have amazing superhuman vision or amazing luck to have come within a very close distance.

This. I have a difficult time spotting full-sized aircraft in the air, and I have pretty good vision.

I ran a Pi router for awhile, and can confirm that the USB ports are the bottleneck. It was great when I was using it to split traffic between two crappy 3-6Mbit links, but once I finally got hooked up with a decent connection (90Mbit), I quickly hit a 30Mbit-ish ceiling.
Apple in China is not a good example for obvious reasons and yes Russia may one day make their own chips. Probably the closest is Cisco in China.
Do many routers make that data easily accessible for automated use? From my experience, it requires work to get at that data.
I'll chime in here and say that quite a few people in aerospace/defense (at least where I work) prefer Python to some of the more traditionally used tools.

I've written a number of scripts for data analysis and simulation in Python that are much more portable for us since we don't need to get a license to run MATLAB on computers out in the field.
Actually, from my reading on the subject, they're required to stop what they're doing if they see any wildlife in the area. It's the same with other developed navies for the most part.

It doesn't always happen, but I got the impression that it does most of the time(and coincidentally is a source of frustration on their part as they have to wait for the wildlife to leave).

I can't seem to find the article I was reading about this, but in the comments there were a number of people claiming to be current or former members of various navies, and their responses were mostly along those lines. Some people said they willingly ignored those requirements, however.

"An interesting report, but is there any reason to conclude that "we are due"?"

Yes, El Nino, which may bring torrents of rain this winter to the US west coast. The combination with epic drought will be disastrous, whether or not if fulfills the mythic criterion of an "ArkStorm'

FYI: occurrence of rain or lack thereof is not like flipping a coin; this is more like a chaotic system with non-linear patterns evolving; once we see a large-scale pattern that occurs, and we identify it recurring through time such as El Nino, we can spot its tell-tale signs ahead of time and warn folks that worse may be on the way. Nevertheless, there are no guarantees, all we can do is wait and watch- But it certainly changes our Prior to know about these recurrent global-weather-scale patterns.

Kindly consider my words - I'm not insulting technology, I'm pointing out corporate greed:
The proportion of self-driving cars that have hit people is already greater than the proportion of human-driven cars that have hit people.

The fact that the Volvo hit someone is not because it was programmed incorrectly. It was because it was responding correctly to its configuration as its producers envisioned it:

It ignores and runs over pedestrians unless the owner pays Volvo extra.

In the future everyone's dreaming of, cars won't hit people, but they will continue to hit people unless owners pay extra to corporations. That's not progress, that's extortion.

I guess the reason for that discrepancy is that for the $90m price tag, SpaceX wants to re-use the first stage cores. In re-usable configuration, quite a bit of the fuel has to be used for the re-entry burns.

Still interesting that they advertise the re-use price, while not having successfully landed a single core yet (admittedly, they came really close to a successful landing a couple of times).
I think that "of course" is often intended to be descriptive of the way things are, not the way things ought to be.
Well, to be fair, the military is also the largest and most capable humanitarian organization at the disposal of the world's governments. To think their sole purpose is destruction for the sake of destruction is also a bit of an oversimplification, peacekeeping is a useful role as well.
That's the same reason why it's so hard for online dating apps to get VC funding. If it's actually effective at finding long-term matches for people, then it will have to keep churning through new customers.

> Once you add storage costs it's more expensive than nuclear.

With utility scale battery storage, yes, renewables are slightly more expensive than nuclear. Natural gas will carry the day until battery prices are driven down, which I expect to occur quickly considering Tesla's Gigafactory production is already sold out for its first ~2 years.

"The Kauai Island Utility Cooperative (KIUC) has signed a deal with SolarCity to purchase power from what the companies claim is the first fully-dispatchable utility-scale solar facility in the U.S., according to a press release.

The dispatchable solar plant has a 52 MWh battery system that will store energy generated during the day and allow it to feed up to 13 MW of electricity back onto the grid during the evening peak.

Under the 20-year power contract, KIUC will pay SolarCity 14.5 cents/kWh, less than the cost of conventional generation in Hawaii, and slightly more than the cost of power from the co-op's other exisiting solar farms.

KIUC CEO David Bissell said his co-op had been assessing storage options for the past two years and price has "always been the biggest challenge." He called the SolarCity project a "breakthrough ... on technology and price" that has finally made utility-scale storage cost-effective for KIUC."

No inconsistency. The price is:

1. 12 million per tonne to GTO on Falcon 9 with a maximum load of 4.85 tonnes

2. 14 million per tonne to GTO on Falcon Heavy with a maximum load of 21.2 tonnes

If you buy the 6.4 tonnes to GTO on Falcon Heavy package, Space X will sell the additional space to another two customers on same launch.

I agree that it's an unpleasant truth, but I think it's the truth.

Imagine he went to a local car company that had just two stores. Imagine he says to the owner, "Hey, I'm going to pay you €418 to drive one of your cars back and forth between your stores for two days. You do all the paperwork as if I'm renting the car 36 times. And then you buy €3000 worth of air miles and give them to me. How about it?"

No rational business owner would do that. They only reason Avis did that is that they are so large that they can't run it sensibly; instead, like programmers, they try to construct systems of rules that approximate a sane business. This guy found a bug in the system, forcing Avis to do something that is definitely not in their best interests.

It's a smart and well-constructed scam, but it's definitely a scam. And the guy knows it. He carefully tests Avis rules. He works around Avis's safeguards. He knew not to push it too far, which is why he limited it to two days. And I'll lay good money right now that there's already some programmer at Avis who is writing code to look for reservations like this and automatically consolidate them, as well as a lawyer who's wondering how to change the T&Cs to prevent this.

As to the latter bit, that is true of any scammer. For example, think of all the good that fake Nigerian princes could do with the money they take.

It was written this year, but the reactors it mentions are old.

Here's a good rundown of ThorCon's cost projections: http://thorconpower.com/costing

It doesn't use any technology that wasn't proven in the 1970s: http://thorconpower.com/features/no-new-technology

The reactor cores are in sealed replaceable "cans." They run for four years, cool for four years, and then shipped back to a processing facility.

Terrestrial Energy has a similar design: sealed factory-built units with a simple liquid fueled design, based on the Oak Ridge molten salt reactor: http://terrestrialenergy.com/imsr-technology/

Safety is completely passive, based on the inherent physics of the fuel and coolant. It's at atmospheric pressure, with no possibility of a chemical explosion like we saw at Fukushima. Fission products mostly plate out or are chemically bound in the salt. In ThorCon's case, if the reactor lose electricity, a frozen plug of fuel melts, and all the fuel drains out to a tank designed to passively cool it.

Yeah right. No wonder I see people adding all sorts of adjective to the systemd proponent. I don't usually go hunting for sources and I only had Linus's comment about kdbus and performance. So I went to look for pottering's own word and here is a verbatime quote from the abstract of his presentation on kdbus

D-Bus is a powerful design. However, being mostly a userspace solution its latency and throughput are not ideal. A full transaction consisting of method call and method reply requires 10 (!) copy operations for the messages passed. It is only useful for transfer of control messages, and not capable of streaming larger amounts of data.

So yeah he tried to sell performance as the big thing for his version of dbus IPC. I'm guessing he (and group) spent more time with dbus than linus and failed to find the actual cause of the performance issue or tried to hide it give more credence to kdbus. In both cases it makes it that much harder to trust their reasoning and conclusions.

I never said kdbus is ONLY about performance. But from what I'm reading they are not performance people but they think they are. The most dangerous people are those who don't know their own limitation or weakness. And your comment simply emphasise the practice of listening whats being said. So yeah given that I don't know dbus or ipc I have to trust your logic and you only make it hard to do so.

For comparison, The Delta IV Heavy costs ~$350 million to send 28,790 kg into LEO, or 14,220 kg into GTO.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_IV_Heavy

the Saturn V, the rocket that sent men to the moon could send 140,000 kg to LEO and 48,600 kg on a translunar injection, which is a higher orbit (i.e. takes more energy) than a geostationary transfer. It's estimated that it cost upwards of a billion dollars per Saturn V launch.

In general, a district court's order is effective immediately, regardless of whether the other party intends to appeal. In a case like this where the activity at issue cannot be "undone" the district court may specify the order to become effective at some point in the future, as here:

> The Court’s order will go into effect in 90 days. Mr. Merrill will remain gagged for that period, in order to allow the government time to decide whether to appeal the decision.

The government has 60 days to file an appeal. But even filing the appeal won't by itself prevent the district court's order from going into effect. It'll have to file a motion for stay, and the appellate court will have to decide to keep the district court order from going into effect pending appeal.

The decision of that motion will be an early look into what the appellate court is thinking. The standard for granting a stay requires the appellate court to conclude that the appellant (here, the government) has a likelihood of succeeding on the merits of the appeal.
Personally I'd probably enforce this at the level of whatever services the GraphQL layer is calling, assuming you're using it as an aggregation layer for lower level services within your organisation.

Otherwise, it should be possible to apply throttling to (for example) expensiveOperation in the same way that you would a RESTful API at the moment.
This is very interesting and I think the performance is pretty good with the right AST. Consider the regular expression "hello".

I recently switched from FF to Chrome on Android, because on Android Chrome gives me a better experience (mainly text resizing).

But this morning I was searching for adblockers on FF android, because ads.

I don't web much on my phone, but the extensions are bookmarked in my head, and probably the weekend I'm going to setup my FF with uBlockOrigin and Ghostery at least.

It'd be nice if I could run a web proxy on my phone that blocked ads regardless of browser or app.
Or maybe he realized that there was a lot more votes in being the "guy who shot Osama bin Laden in the face" than in being the "guy who will rein in the NSA." It's basically the same phenomenon that's playing out now with the Republican primary. Talking about cracking down on the NSA will get you some Democratic primary votes, and probably won't lose you any, just like talking about cracking down on illegal immigration will win you Republican primary votes and probably won't lose you any. But come the general election, you're going to have to moderate your position to appeal to the mushy middle.

I have three OpenWRT devices: a Linksys wrt1900ac (v2), and two TP-Link WDR3600s. Considering that you can pick up the WDR3600 on Amazon for roughly $50, it's a steal. I have multiple vlans configured across all three (which OpenWRT makes very easy to do) and certain SSIDs isolated to certain vlans, even on the same radio. I just set up WDS last night between the two WDR3600s, and it was such a simple process. I have the utmost respect for OpenWRT and what it lets you accomplish. Plus, it's far more professionally-run project than other firmwares like Tomato. If you haven't played with OpenWRT yet, I wholeheartedly suggest you do.
Some people seem to unironically agree with this, so I'll say the obvious: I don't think the absence of a meaning to life has anything to do with the wastefulness of sending your ashes into orbit. It's more wasteful than spreading them over the sea, for example. Unless you're actually saying that you don't believe in the concept of waste, which would be really sad for you and for everyone around you.
