People keep insisting that something cool and futuristic will destroy people's lives, which seems like a bad excuse for ignoring all the awful, mundane, present-day things destroying people's lives.

For instance, I expect paramilitary activity to start killing a few people on a regular basis, and it's not even the future yet!

If you have a Resident Permit (type B or C), you can start a company. That means you should already be in switzerland with a regular employment contract (or as a spouse of a swiss citizen or swiss resident). What I do not know is if you can ask for a permit in order to then start your company (i.e. come to Switzerland for the specific purpose of starting a company), although apparently Swiss authorities are very helpful
if you choose to move your already existing company to Switzerland.

When I say "structure" in this context, I mean it to include a social and hierarchical structure as well - namely, others doing the same thing alongside you, and someone you have to report to. Without those things, most people don't have the discipline and/or interest to do much of anything.

I hear this argument all the time whenever people talk about the lack of a startups scene in Switzerland and I think it's way off the mark.

People who want to found companies will always found companies - and in Switzerland we are really lucky to have a solid (personal) financial base to build on and the knowledge that, if the startup doesn't work out, there will be a great job to go back to. I'd almost go as far as to say that a lot of people start companies in Switzerland who otherwise wouldn't be in a situation to start a startup anywhere else in the world.

The real problem we have in Switzerland is the 'investor-incest' which dictates where the significant amount of available capital is invested. It is a horrible old-boys club of epic proportions, focussed on back-slapping and box-ticking instead of innovation and potential (and I say this as someone who benefits from the fact).

Aside from this problem, investors in Switzerland are generally less sophisticated than SV investors (especially at the angel/institutional levels) and tend to focus on the solution not the problem when making investment decisions. This leads to most of the Swiss capital in Switzerland being invested into technologically advanced university spin-offs with no market or use case, while teams with a real product-market fit have to go abroad to find investors with the right mindset.

I think that expectations from physical-world objects could be clashing with online service "objects".

For example, if I buy a physical-world object then it's well-understood that the vendor can't break into my house and take it back or, in most circumstances, demand its return. Many physical-world objects additionally come with a warranty assuring that it will continue to work for some length of time.

Online, the digital "object" that I upload to a free service has no such ownership analogue - the service provider can generally cease to offer the service at will. This not only means there's zero warranty, but effectively that service providers can "break into my house" to "take back" the object.

I don't think there's much awareness in the general public that GMail, to pick on a well-used example, could shut down tomorrow and almost every user would irretrievably lose the last N years of their email.

So these all sound like very true and good things. No reason to doubt there is a reason current big auto does it the way they do.

On the other hand, Musk hasn't been one to just say stuff and totally fail. By and large he is getting what he says he is getting, and on a close to reasonable time frame. If we stuck to what big auto said, there would be no autopilot, and EVs would still be a toy with a tiny range.

I have at this point little reason to doubt that they will pull this off.

Clearly making cars is a solved problem, millions are made every year. It SEEMS like Musk hires people that know their stuff.

So I am going long on Tesla, and short on existing big auto. Time will tell what happens ;)
Just as Fox News won't tell the truth, and hold on to their line even in the face of evidence, so do the Chinese.

==Rsh vs rlogin==

Rsh was made to run a remote command without a login shell. Like rsh remotehost <command>. If you omit <command> rsh does an execv() of rlogin.

==Rsh vs Rexec==

Rexec allows you to specify a password on the command line, rsh does not...it expects you to either use .rhosts, or enter the password interactively. Rexec also doesn't have the functionality where it invokes rlogin if you omit the command...the command is mandatory.

==Why?==

No idea. Yes, it's odd that it wasn't all made as a single client binary. There were also different daemons on the server side...rexecd, rshd, rlogind. Also fun, there was often another binary called rsh that had nothing to do with this rsh or remote logins. It was a restricted login shell so that you could have limited rights users.
Thanks, this looks like a better solution!

We use the Warnings plugin and set Jenkins to always do a full build, so we can have a good overview of potential warnings on the various platforms a project is built on.

Word.

I've been sick (chronic life threatening illness) my entire adult life. I've done some very stupid things, knowingly and unknowingly. And a handful of my doctors, care providers have harmed me. But what else you gonna do?

I've also had severe back pain that got worse over the years. Finding solutions that worked for me required lots of trial and error.

Now comes my second most important piece of advice:

Everyone must have their own patient advocate. To fight for you, to keep track of what's happening. And to keep you honest. Self assessments are notoriously unreliable.
Why not put business logic in the ticket too? The think about the TODO is it is more discoverable by devs who are likely to be looking at that code.

Nothing wrong with referencing tickets in TODOs, except when references go stale. It's easier to just do periodic 'TODO' searches on mature code.

Those words have one meaning each.

A microservice is a service that does only one thing, and does it simply.

Something stateless doesn't keep state - after an interaction with a client, nothing has changed in the service itself.

A stateless authentication microservice is something I would expect to run, listen on a port for some sort of authentication credentials, and return either some sort of authorizarion token or an authentication error.

I don't see where the confusion comes from.
>Enriched uranium has a very high energy density. 20% enriched Uranium would countain 16TJ/kg.

Not all meta-studies agree on this. But the real point in my opinion is this:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19250001

Acupuncture is a sham because sham acupuncture appears to do just as well. What matters is if you get stung by a real needle. All the acupuncture-specific things, like meridians, points, qi, are just tosh, which means pseudo-acupuncture can be performed by any nurse, and does not require a costly 'expert'. So "real acupuncture" is just, in fact, an unnecessary ornament that can be discarded.

Having been raised by your average new-age / alternative medicine parents, and having believed and used these things until my mid-twenties, I'm not surprised that needles do have an effect. I am also not surprised it does not come from acupuncture proper.

If you say 'having vague pain points stung by needles is better than placebo', then I would agree with you, but that's quite different than saying that acupuncture works.
Before a rector is turned on the inside of it isn't particularly radioactive. In order to last from the creation of the solar system to the present day uranium had to decay very slowly when not in a critical mass, specifically U235 has a half life of 700 million years. So it's really the radiation of uranium that you have to worry about if you find yourself in a room with a hunk of it but the toxicity. Still, people made cookware with uranium in the glaze and managed to avoid killing people.

Now, as soon as you turn the reactor on you start turning the relatively safe U235 into all sorts of nasty things with half lives that are much, much shorter than 700 million years like strontium 90 with a half life of 30 years. That stuff is indeed horrible and getting it spread over Florida would be a disaster. But the solution is to make sure you don't turn the reactor on until it's safely in orbit.

That makes them much safer than the RTGs we've been using to power space probes far away from the sun previously. Because the P238 isn't in a critical mass it has to be a synthetic isotope with a low half life in order to generate enough heat to power a spacecraft when it's outside a reactor and would be quite deadly if you interacted with it without shielding.

Definitely necessary. I remember those days, and the realization that I could run an existing program, or I could sit and make my own, and the latter was pretty appealing to me.

I picked up Human Resource Machine when it came to the Nintendo Switch a few months ago, and I loved it pretty immediately. I think it does a great job of abstracting out the fact that you're writing assembly, masked by their very dark sense of humor (Little Inferno, anyone?). Whenever one of my friends (other grown-ups, not even kids) say things similar to wishing they knew how to program, I suggest they pick the game up and give it a try. It's like jumping in the deep end, but does a good job of showing how to think like a computer would think.

I looked into some numbers on this, comparing theoretical costs of nuclear power with a solar PV solution on Mars.

Kilopower (NASA's research project for a Martian nuclear fission reactor, from the article): 7,200 kg for 40 kW. [1]

ISS solar arrays: 14,515 kg for ~100 kW in Earth orbit. [2] If we assume 40-50% Earth solar insolation on Martian surface, the ISS PV array probably isn't far off 40 kW output on Mars

Conclusions:

Nuclear reactor would have approx. 50% launch weight. SpaceX estimate $45/kg payload with a Falcon Heavy, so about $324K for Kilopower or ~$600K for the ISS arrays.

The build cost of the ISS arrays was around $300 million (space PV is way more expensive than terrestrial). The development and test costs of Kilopower is around $15 million; build cost of final units is unknown.

You would have to automate and/or remotely control all of the nuclear power plant operations. Dust storms would be a challenge to a PV solution, though not insurmountable.

They actually look very comparable. Nuclear has an edge due to it weighing half as much as the equivalent PV generation system. I think there is definitely value to a simpler system that's more decentralized... but that's harder to quantify.

Edit: people noted I forgot to factor in batteries. 40 kW = 480 kWh per 12 hours. 1 Tesla PowerPack = 220 kWh @ 50 kW. Let's assume a worst case that the base needs the same electrical power during the night as it does in the day, so we need around 5 PowerPacks to get us through each night. 1 PowerPack weighs 1,622 kg, 5 = 8,110 kg. Wow, we need another Falcon Heavy trip just to bring us enough batteries for 1 night! Let's not mention those dust storms that can last for a month or so...

Now nuclear looks much better... and that has its own complexities. Colonising Mars is going to be very hard. :)

Not all workflows/priorities support this.

Sometimes you have windows to meet. Sometimes one task has been authorised, while another has not. Sometimes there is a chance a piece of code will soon become obsolete, so a TODO is conditional on that not being the case.
Hooked and Jab, Jab, Jab Right Hook are such great books. Really recommend everyone at least reads these.

Had a similar story. After having kids and carrying them around a lot, coupled with no exercise at all, I had an episode of intense lower back pain. After an xray, any structural problem was discarded, I needed exercise to keep my posture.

I then decided that I need to carry on working on a desk for decades ahead (I'm on early 30s) so I had to tackle the problem.

Was recommended by my daughter's pediatrician to look into Pilates classes. I'm now pain free and results came very early on in practice.

Also, random pain spots that appeared frequently (for instance knee pain while driving) are mostly gone too.

I've been a long time reader of reuters. I still use it sometimes. It certainly used to be more neutral and balanced in the past. Now, sadly I find it often publishes articles propagating anti-chinese sentiments. Therefore I am not too surprised by the chinese authority's decision.

It's quite refreshing to leave the western propaganda bubble and take a glimpse at the world from "the other side". Let a hundred flowers bloom ;-)

You Cannot Have Exactly-Once Delivery – Redux
What? Plug-in hybrids don't need to plug in. It's just an option. It makes sense wether you have access to nightly charging or not. It's much better if you can charge, but the battery still helps you with efficiency by storing breaking energy, and the plug can also be used other places. Once plugins become more ubiquitous you'll probably start to see supermarkets and such offer charging in their parking lots.

And it's really not that hard to add charging infrastructure to apartment parking. It's just a matter of will. The technology is simple and relatively cheap.

You'll start to see companies offer owner of apartment complexes a pretty good deal: they'll install the chargers for free in exchange for them charging the tenants for the electricity (+ margins)

This is a problem that be market is pretty good at solving if the government just gives its kick-start. Once plugins hits 20-30% market share (sales) it'll practically solve itself.
Crikey, that is so far away from the park-assist tight parallel-parking I've witnessed from Asian cars.. you tell it to park, and it drives slowly along the road until it spots a just-big-enough gap between two cars, and then it parks in the space for you. A couple of friends avoid parallel parking if they have to park themselves.

One anecdote was a friend had parked and another car parked too close in front of them, and they were basically stuck. And then they remembered the new parking-assist, and they flipped the switch and the car inched backwards and forwards and basically extricated itself by moving sideways like a crab!

Does the Volt get updates over-the-air etc?

My comment was assuming parking-assist was a solved problem! ;)
How to become better at software estimations (Part 1) – Code Runners
NASA Is Planning an Asteroid Deflection Test Mission
You just destroyed all C code in the world. At that level of paranoia, you've basically defined a brand new language, and if you're going to do that, why make it C at all?

Smart people with a ton of experience in C have already examined the possibility of defining a C dialect with much less undefined behavior in it. In fact, I believe it's been seriously tried more than once by independent groups. And the result has been the same each time; initial excitement and optimism gives way to total failure. It's simply way too deeply ingrained in the definition of C, backed by all the code in the world written in C. If you want less undefined behavior, your only choice is to leave C.
