As much I know ISRO has less failure rate and they get the job with little budget in comparison to NASA or any other space agencies. This alone is the reason, one might be tempted to use Indian technology.

> India's Mars mission, with a budget of $73 million, is far cheaper than comparable missions including NASA's $671 million Maven satellite that is expected to set off for Mars later in November.

I do read this thread, and I'm very receptive to the "oh-no-please-dont-break-backward-compatibility-again" complaints.

The best course of action is (1) to try to find help on the mailing list for new functions to ease the migration to the new syntactic rules (there is one already in the release notes) and (2) to raise your voice on the mailing list and support those who share the same view.

I've been a release manager for 9.0, not the real maintainer, so things may have slipped in directions I didn't have time to carefully review. If I manage to get involved again as a real maintainer, I will enforce syntactic stability and backward compatibility as much as possible.

So I just tried the desktop app and it’s terrible. Fuzzy fonts almost everywhere, feels sluggish. It keeps nagging about the mobile apps.

And then it popped up randomly over an hour after closing it, happily informing me that I got the latest updates. Thank you, but no.

The web app refuses to work with anything but the very latest browsers. Why? Probably no reason at all. It also doesn’t work in IE, which is kind of sad. It also consumes humongous amounts of memory, as does the desktop app.

The avatars, blurry too, of course, are embedded as Base64 Data URIs. Why?

All in all this is yet another collaboration tool from Microsoft. It feels very rushed.

Is he really a "global point of reference"? I'm not at all confident I could drop a reference to, say, Macbeth or Hamlet when dealing with people from India or China. Using the high-points of American popular culture like Luke Skywalker or Superman seems a lot safer.

Once we determined 404s were the problem we put mitigation in place that worked fine, but the problem of request volume remained: the 10% figure I gave was at a 5% rollout of VSCode. A full rollout would therefore have meant the registry became 3x bigger overnight and two thirds of that would have been 404s to VSCode users. At that point the issue is financial, not technical, which is another reason the rollback happened.

Well Apple had something of an inside track there, as they were already a household name in the creative industries.
So, let's say you're a would-be entrepreneur looking to start a business and run an enterprise and get rich. How do you know where to begin? If you don't have connections to help, you're stuck with only your own understandings, your own resources, and your success or failure will be mostly attributed to luck.

Cutting down on this luck factor is the problem the startup landscape is trying to solve. We can provide two things to would-be entrepreneurs, information and resources. Information can obviously be free, but resources have to be limited.

It does the industry, the collection of people providing information and resources, the most good if following the information, which they can get for free, leads easily and directly into provisioning of resources. A more transparent process makes it more democratic and a better route for real social change.

So we want to constrain the definition of words like 'startup' so that they better conform to what investors are looking for in ventures to fund. Sure, anybody can use the term any way they want, but for this community, 'everybody starting a venture is a startup' does nothing to help the would-be entrepreneurs to do the right things they need to do to get investment. It's too inclusive, it does not provide a pathway for people that want to join the community to gain real, material help with their venture. It needs to be a useful tool of exclusion.

A quick bit of research shows that the speed of light in air only 0.3% less than the speed of light in a vaccuum. So that works out to 298,896km/s. This is significantly faster than the speed of light in an fibre optic cable (around 200,000km/s). Combine this with the ability for a microwave link to have a shorter path than optical fibre, and it's easy to see why a microwave link can be lower latency.

Nobody is disputing the fact that fibre optic can handle much higher bandwidths, but that is irrelevant in this application. The amount of data required to make a trade is probably in the order of kiloBytes or MegaBytes, easily handled by the few Gbps limit of microwave links.

The reason why satellite internet is so terrible is because a geostationary satellite sits 22,236 miles above the surface of the earth. So for a roundtrip journey, a packet of data has to travel nearly 45,000 miles.

Mind you, alignment before said work is important. I had a colleague that started at an assignment the same day I did. We had an onboarding day (lots of stuff to explain), and only a few hours in he was rubbing his hands asking when he could start coding.

But there wasn't anything to code yet, or if there was, that wasn't explained to him yet, so, ????

Morale: don't write code if there's no clear "what to build".
Huh. Strange. They just opened an office in Toronto and posted all these dev job ads... I applied but got rejected, guess it was for the better.
You also have to consider that Indian salaries aren't remotely close to US salaries and other local factors. Software engineers make 12x what they make in India. The US can't just have a $73m mission considering the standard of living for engineers and managers here. ISRO is notoriously cheap even by Indian standards. Its probably not realistic to expect this type of pricing the same way the US can't mass produce things as cheaply as China can.
This has the potential (pun intended) to be a big deal in wild world of battery tech. BUT I'd like to see the next phase if, or more hopefully when, they can demonstrate a battery with enough capacity for a home. And provide DIY instructions on how to build. Still very exciting nonetheless.
Depends on whether they had anything to do or whether the goal of that meeting was to determine what goals should be achieved the next period.
How “Black Mirror” Gets Its Barely Sci-Fi Tech Just Right
I was never happy with the workflow of automatically syncing mobile org, so I gave up. A scheduled task on the desktop exports org to HTML in a Dropbox folder. Read-only HTML on mobile is good enough for my use in most cases. I capture with Google Keep if needed.
You're absolutely right, I was keeping it simple to stay out of SJ fanboy derailments.

Key is he was not a one-trick pony. Real data to prove it.

Right now I'd put Bezos in that category with an n=2 (ecommerce, AWS).

To show a counterexample, Brin/Page have an n=1 - ads. Rest is cool tech, but not significant business and yes, I am adding Youtube into the ads business idea.

Same with Zuckerberg, both Instagram and WhatsApp were about adding eyeballs to the same business model - super ideas, but additive. If Facebook Workplace takes off as a paid-for business, he will have n=2.

After a little bit of looking around on the internet, I think I agree.
I quit smoking 7 years ago and helped a dozen people to quit as well.

NONE of the people I know who used e-cigarettes were able to quit for good.

Here's my recipe:

1. Quitting sounds hard but it isn't. The majority of people who try to quit, actually succeed.
2. Don't use ANYTHING as a substitute (no chewing gum, no patches or e-cigs). Substitutes usually can never replace the original and will just keep you "hooked".
3. Read affirmative stuff (like news stories, studies). Reading about a study that showed most people quit for good, actually helps. As does reading about the consequences for continueing to smoke.

That's it. Just quit. It's easy, you'll be off cigarettes in no time.

Everyone can do it. Smoking is totally a 90s thing.
This is my opinion, and I know it won't be popular, so give me some slack for admitting that and posting it anyway.

You can tell a startup is focusing on the wrong thing when: They're using the 'newest', most obscure, programming language or frameworks available because it's the 'best' for some unscientific reason.

Instantly I hear the argument "Yah, but if we need to scale, we don't want to re-write." Ok, you're going to rewrite anyway. Right now your problem is producing quality code that additional people can onboard themselves with. Chances are you can produce something very practical using plain GET/POST operations and gradually add more interactivity on the client side if you prove your product out.

The stem of my rant is this: Recently I was thinking about picking up some side work for extra $. The company I was interviewing with described their front end team as struggling to keep pace and needed some temporary help. The product is under NDA, so let's just say it's a shared calendar. Their stack was insane: 18 different javascript frameworks, required a certain version of Node.js to "compile" to ES6, then another to run it in your browser, and the stylesheets were written in some other obscure language. In the second interview, I told the product manager I think he's been had: the reason your front end team is struggling is because they're not being practical, they're busy with shiny toys. He said he had a feeling, but given his situation he didn't have much of a choice but to continue. He thanked me for being honest and said he understood if I wasn't interested anymore.

Anyway, there's a lot of really "cool" stuff to get distracted by as developers. I think a lot of us need to sober up and really meditate on the phrase "do the simplest thing that could possibly work".

Pretty much! 1 and 2 are typically a form on the site using Portier (relying party).

There's also less emphasis on branding; as a user you will rarely see Portier mentioned.
I think that the two properties--that it is safer than cigarettes and that it's a menace--are not a contradiction. It's certainly not as bad to be around a vaper than a smoker, but that doesn't mean it's not bad to be around a vaper. It's relatively better, absolutely still on the "gross, don't do that around me" end of the spectrum.

I try pretty hard to not subject people to my disgusting habits. How is it that people expect inhaling chemicals to be any different? They act like they are surprised that you don't want to be exposed to their disgusting clouds of stink.
I like this approach, a nonspecific flag that simply indicates that all polling or interval based APIs will function at prolonged delays. GPS only updates every minute or so, timeouts are extended, etc...

For me, the biggie is better embedded code support. For example, with RMarkdown, I can embed chunks of... R code in Markdown and have them executed with results put in line. Org mode, by contrast, has had support for dozens of languages for quite some time.

Beyond that, flexibility in rendered output formats. Markdown doesn't really provide any mechanisms for when you want some things to be different between the HTML and LaTeX -> PDF output. Org-mode supports multi output format issues quite neatly.

Little things such as supporting in-document cross references work in Org-mode, but not Markdown. If you've ever needed to do something like "As seen in Figure [X]", know that with Markdown you'll be doing some hacks. Org-mode? Just works.

Pretty much, yes.

However, ideally you would not "Login with Portier", you would simply "Login". There is no need to mention the infrastructure used (and in our current modules, we simply generate a plain Login-Form without any branding).

You also do not have to click on the link, you can enter the code which is in the email. Useful when mixing clients.

And finally, when using a email provider with special support (currently: Gmail) you don't click on the email and also don't get one. You just login via Google-Sign-In and get then redirected to the site you are trying to login to. I hope we can support more providers (and custom domains soon). Not having to go into the emails is pretty nice.

Edit: Also see https://github.com/portier/portier.github.io/blob/master/Des... for a more technical view on what happens here.
Looks great, and certainly ticks a lot more boxes than the others in your comparison matrix!

>It clearly has. Had it not been for Wikileaks, and various online news organizations we would never have known the sheer amount of corruption afoot in this election, as well as the extent of the death grip political elites have on the entire system. I suppose old media has just become too entrenched and cozy with those in power to speak truth to power.

Also, ownership has become ultra-concentrated among the "old media". There'd be more of a case in its favor if old media actually competed with each-other in a diverse marketplace anymore.
My pet hate, directly out of SQL Server Management Studio, is how their code generation places commas. It generates code like this:

select

tableName

Whereas I want my commas AFTER the column names on the same line:

select
columnA,
columnB,
columnC
from
tableName

Or just looks so much neater.

Yes I've seen people doing that, and I do appreciate a mechanical keyboard, is the typing position a bit high though?

It's looks like you have very limited experience with Linux distros. Nobody forces Linux users to use repositories. We use repositories because we trust them much more than random binary blobs from Internet.
Binary encoding contribute significantly to obfuscation, because it cannot be formatted, or refactored, or commented, or modified (e.g. to add assertion or print debugging information). Nobody programs in binary.

WebAsm creates problem. Same problem as Java, Flash, Unity, PNaCl and dozens of other platforms to execute binary blobs from untrusted sources. And the only solution is to add trust, e.g. by publishing heavy-weight libraries for review and patching by third-party maintainers, e.g. such libraries as SDL, game engines, GUI, databases, etc. Otherwise, we will have same situation as with other libraries, e.g. JQuery, when sites are using old version of common library with known security problems for ages, despite that fixed version is freely available.

that they will do the same for the EU/their country/interests, it is considered
screwing over the UK. This argument can easily be turned around from the
point of view from people living in the rest of the EU, just as a hint.
Like many biases Hindsight/Survivorship really really feels right to many people, especially if they're not terribly aware of logical and cognitive biases. By contrast what you're saying to them requires them to think in a new way, and maybe let go of some deeply held beliefs.

I'm not sure what you mean by that, but they've definitely lost a few people because they got sick of how many meetings happened here. But they also have people that have been here for well over five years doing that role, so I guess most people are okay with it. I don't think I would, so I'm not gunning to get promoted here.
