It's definitely a tricky balance. Ultimately there's best practices to follow, and there's no need to manually implement best practices in every project if you can automate it. The balance is between time-saved vs absolute control.

Nanobox tries to strike the balance between saving time and giving devs ways to hook into and control the dev-to-production lifecycle.
If I understand our capabilities correctly we can't even escape the solar system without using gravity assist boosts from other planets, let alone sustaining thrust for a long period.

Missile? Laser? That's insane. As someone who's worked on UAVs quite a bit, the only thing I'd consider taking them out with - in a situation which necessitated it, like a terrorist attack - is guns. Laser systems would be completely unrealistic for this situation, and using missiles would be absolutely overkill.

The theory as described in your link seems to hand-wave away the difficulties incumbent in the "colonization explosion" step. As it stands, intergalactic space travel (at scale) is utterly inconceivable in practical terms, and to simply assume that it is inevitable seems like a major flaw in the theory.

Except we also have research the suggests acute exercise raises the risk of adverse CV events[1]. So you just can't assume "Oh if I work super hard then I'll only see benefits." There are liabilities here and understanding balance and what works for you is what's going to matter. Studies like this just draw in the Ray Kurzweil 'live forever' crowd, hence it at the top of HN. They aren't comprehensive and may have nothing to with human health at all and probably don't add anything to our practical knowledge of exercise.

I think that tax exemptions for universities should come with a lot more strings attached. These exemptions are actually worth considerably more per undergraduate that even the best state funded public institutions receive per undergraduate.

http://www.slate.com/articles/business/moneybox/2015/09/harv...

Here's the report

http://www.slate.com/articles/business/moneybox/2015/09/harv...

Personally, I think one condition should be to increase the scale of undergraduate admission. Berkeley and UCLA, for instance, enroll around 25,000 undergraduates, whereas Harvard and Stanford are in the 6,000-8,000 range. This is of course a favorable arrangement for Stanford - enrolling very few undergraduates keeps the US News numbers happy, and allows them to focus mainly on research and graduate students. They shower a massive amount of money on a small and largely affluent student body, and enjoy a huge tax advantage because they benefit the public.

Although these institutions are generous with low income students, keep in mind that they 1) enroll a much lower percentage of low income students than UCLA or Berkeley, and 2) enroll far fewer students overall. As a result, Berkeley enrolls more low income students than the entire Ivy League combined. This is true of UCLA and several other UC campuses.

Why are we giving Harvard and Stanford a huge tax break in order to shower benefits on a tiny and largely affluent student body? The state funding for Berkeley and UCLA comes with all kinds of strings attached, and it's considerably less per undergrad than the value of this tax break.

We have, through policy, put our public institutions at a severe financial disadvantage. This isn't just a result of market forces or choice, this is built into our tax code and regulatory state.

Unless you're talking about a Starshot-type probe, I think it's probably better to wait for improved propulsion technology that would end up arriving before a probe we sent now.
It'll be interesting to see this reflected in the Drake equation (average number of planets per star that can potentially support life).

It'd be amazing if the number was above 1 (or terrible if you believe in the Great Filter hypothesis).

This would be my first thought as well, but the original article says that they are near-orbitally resonant. It seems possible to me that the regularly passing nearby planets could apply enough of a torque to counteract the tidal locking---though I don't have a good sense of the order of magnitude of the forces, so maybe not.

I think we do if you look at it in terms of acceleration. As I understand it, In space there is almost 0 friction so "fast" is more about acceleration than "top speed". In this view, 1g isn't that fast.

CPU, GPU, HBM all on one package. That would be a game changer for building analytics databases. There's a bunch of GPU based databases out now but a lot of the benchmark numbers they give you rely on having the data cases in GPU RAM. Real world benchmarks that require moving data over PCIe are less generous.

Well, no, I'm talking about how things evolve. There's this big myth in history about technological, economic and social decline. That it's been up and down for 2000 years, fits and starts. It's not the case, things slowly and continuously evolve, you just only notice it happening in fits and starts. Also the mind is designed to focus on negative things, so we assign more weight to the negative than we would if we were being more rational.

You can read the proposal and discussion around the feature on the github suggestion page for this feature.

The initial suggestion was made because there are certain functions in JavaScript that expect a non-primitive type in order to function. Such as Object.create, Object.getPrototypeOf, etc. Previous to this there was no way to model the functions with type safety, such that a developer would be prevented from accidentally sending a primitive value into those functions. This is because Typescript doesn't have the ability to say "Any type except X, Y and Z". So a new type was needed for this.

There are a few obvious possibilities:

- AMD have optimized for die size, at 44mm^2 vs Broadwell-E at 246mm^2. This will result in an order of magnitude better yields and margin improvements.

- Intel prices high in the >= 8-core space because: they can; there is no current competition; and the aforementioned yield/margin issue.

- The Intel parts have more advanced and expensive features aimed at professional markets; i.e. quad-channel memory controller, more PCIe lanes, and in newer architectures, integrated Thunderbolt controllers, to name a few.
I think, there is just too much bias involved. At least thats what I am experiencing. Not using HATEOAS ever, but complaining about it makes me angry.

My preaching: If you can write a client by using a semantic document format (e.g. HTML, XML+XSD, Json-Ld), you end up with a more elegant and stable implementation. And as a provider of such an API, I spend more focus on the surfacing domain than the structure of my resources.

It makes me sad, that even Google does not try.
It's great marketing. If you look at the NRA's leadership, they all held marketing positions for gun manufacturers
That's not quite true. These planets are very close to the star and can receive large doses of the little bit of harmful radiation that the star puts out. Additionally, these planets put out a lot of infrared, but not a lot of higher energy photons, and life-as-we-know-it needs those higher energy photons. That infrared is also absorbed by water in any atmospheres or oceans that are present, leaving even less for life. Finally, these types of stars tend to have rather variable output in their spectrums, which may make it difficult for life to adapt.
I would be very interested in seeing comparative weather simulations for a fictional tidal locked planet to Earth and the other Sol planets.
They will most likely detain you. And grill you for quite some time.

Then seize your electronics, because "you have no need for devices you cannot unlock" (fictional quote) and most importantly you cannot prove they're safe (forget about them having to prove they're not safe).

And finally, they would most likely deny you entry.

Given that lately I've read hundreds of comments on US Customs here on HN, this is the picture I've painted in my mind.
If you want to ask questions that require recursion don't make them dependent on algorithms that require rote memorization.

Yes, surely! Have the algorithm explained, or even diagrammed for them with pseudocode.

Let's not conflate algorithm implementation from rote memory with not wanting to answer any technical questions. You can't just come in and start talking about ACID transactions and concurrency as if that is what people have been objecting to.

Let's not conflate the need for a good background with rote memory. I object to rote memory being rewarded by interview questions. I also object to programmers who maintain they don't need to know any of this stuff at all, because they can just Google it and spend a few seconds reading the Wikipedia article. Where in the Dickens did you get the idea I'm Captain Rote-man?

One purpose of training in a highly skilled field is to teach people how to avoid the egregious gotchas. Go ahead and read my other comments in this thread and on this site. I'm not the all conquering champion of rote memorization you seem to think I am.
Do we know definitively that there are no other planets in this system?

The presence of a large, Jupiter-sized planet in a system is thought to be helpful for deflecting asteroid impacts. Obviously we are talking 'to scale' given TRAPPIST-1 itself is around the size of Jupiter!

The more we learn about this system is going to be fascinating though - the supposed inward migration of these planets may even help us understand more about how our own system formed.
> Too young star for alien life hopes?

Not necessarily -- life on Earth may have arisen a remarkably short time after accretion, perhaps even in the first few hundred million years. See this old HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10415212

One of the callers (a biologist, so not a crackpot) on TV suggested that given how close the planets were, he wondered if it were possible for there to be cross contamination between the planets given how close they are to each other. He referred to them being part of the same "ecosystem." I'm not sure how feasible that is as a non-astrobiologist, but it is an interesting idea.

That's backwards. Red dwarfs have extremely powerful flares relative to their luminosity. So much so that it's unlikely that life would survive on the surface of an orbiting planet. (Though life would probably survive underwater.)

It'll be in the near-infrared, but the light won't be separated from the star. How they observe the atmosphere is that when the exoplanets transit, they block out different amounts of light at different wavelengths. From that, one can deduce an atmospheric spectrum.
Exactly. I think a database of identities tied to accounts with passwords would be at least as tempting as the OPM records (though to different people), which is reason enough that it shouldn't exist.

The last thing I want is to be manually rolling package updates for kernels. That's one of the reasons I use a distro in the first place, to offload testing to a dedicated team of people. If I was still interested in that, I would run Linux From Scratch again.

As soon as you've administered 10+ servers at the same time, your patience for variation from the norm and manual patch building goes way down.

Once you've administered 100+ servers at the same time, any thoughts of doing that go right out the window. along with the person that brought it up.

At that point, any changes are diffs applied to the original package (or a brand new package from scratch) that you put in your local repo. Kernels actually get updates fairly often, which means you either have a lot of work, or you ignore the non-essential updates. Neither are ideal.
Very likely, since this happens between Mars and Earth:

I wrote about API design (with a similar rejection of HATEOAS): http://www.vinaysahni.com/best-practices-for-a-pragmatic-res...

In short: humans can follow links, even as a website goes through significant changes. Code can follow links, but can't make clear independent decisions when significant changes happen to the API.

The great benefit of experts over I-just-learned-this authors is that experts know how design x or feature y relates to other designs and features not implemented in the given project.

In other words, they know a lot more context and can tell whether something that appears totally normal in the project is actually done in an unusual way that has limitations, etc.
> I'd rather just attach a 10-20% fee instead of needlessly evaluating someone else's performance with every delivery.

When seattle raised the minimum wage a bunch of places started doing exactly that. I like it better.

A few places started adding on fees that go to back of house employees as well, which I'm fine with.

Apparently this didn't annoy people the way they wanted, so they just started adding in an extra fees because of the minimum wage.

I wish they would just raise their prices and pay people properly.
I've never wanted to see a revenue graph more than that of Excite. I would suspect there would be a strong correlation with AOL dial-up subscription rates (perhaps causation too).

You could use it like economists use the consumer price index - all relative to year. So you could have the Apollo, or human space year, or something and reference HSY_{1969}, or HSY_{ion thruster}, etc.
There has been and continues to be cross-contamination between Venus, Earth, and Mars, so it seems likely that planets much closer together, and passing each other more frequently would have more 'communication' of materials.
I don't see why. If anything, life might be even easier if you're constantly getting energy from above, rather than intermittently. In any case, "different climate and weather" doesn't seem to me to imply "hurt the chances for life."

If they're in the habitable zone, then they're getting similar radiation as an organism at the far north latitudes of Earth are getting during the summer. I don't know if it makes that much difference to a short-lived bacteria whether it's full sunlight for several weeks at a time, vs full sunlight forever.
But that's the problem, it's too much marketing and not enough product.

So I see it turns out that we've now identified 7 earth-like planets orbiting a star, where previously we thought we had 3 planets. That's a significant technical advance, which is certainly a Good Thing.

But the average non-scientist/ non-technician looks at this and sees a big build-up followed by by a nothingburger, which is a very Bad Thing because it lowers public respect for science. It would have been much better to say 'exoplanet detection continues to improve, full details wednesday'.

We're not inflicting the teasing on ourselves because we're not the ones holding back information to create excitement and anticipation. This was a minor update that was presented as something major.
