> ...[the heliosphere] blocks 75 percent of cosmic radiation...

It sounds like a solar system-scale Van Allen belt [1] when described like this. So we have at least three layers of cosmic radiation protection identified (heliosphere, outer VAB, inner VAB).

If the heliosphere has implications for high-precision, high-accuracy independent-of-Earth interplanetary spaceflight similar to gravimetric and magnetic readings on Earth do for submarines today, then mapping the heliosphere would be a future asset.

Just composing proper XHTML was never enough to be very useful. The way that XHTML was promoted to web developers (my impression, I was only around for the tail end), was as merely a stricter version of HTML, and that's how IE implemented it, so that was the only practical way of using it.

XHTML on its own does hardly anything that HTML didn't do. It's easier to parse, but HTML was already parseable and anyone who was going to try to extract meaning from human-readable webpages could already do that. The real value of XHTML was that it could be generated from domain-specific XML using XSLT. So your data could be served as machine readable XML in a standard, versioned schema particular to the application or document publisher, and then converted into an XHTML webpage by the browser. IE didn't implement XSLT for too long, so nobody did this, but the idea behind it is a popular approach today. It's essentially the same as serving static HTML which then fetches its data by API queries using javascript. But this would have worked with javascript disabled, and would have made the human- and machine-readable data exist at the same URI, so that it would be clear to machines what data the human-readable presentation was representing.

Ideally content providers would also serve an XSLT transformation for producing RDF/XML from the domain-specific XML representation, so that generic web crawlers could understand the meaning of the data on the page, or the generated XHTML could contain RDFa markup. We still havent gotten to the point of re-engineering this functionality, and it may never happen, since the major web businesses' revenue model depends on maintaining exclusive control of their data, and the interoperability ideals of linked data are directly opposed to that.
The page button is also confusing. It says "Active Scams" while listing many of them as offline. There is no way to filter the list.

On a properly configured environment TSC is the default clocksource. I have no idea why one would want to precisely measure time with any other clock source.

On relatively contemporary systems clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME) will give you a nanosecond resolution wall clock time and the cost of going through JNI will cost you around 11-13ns, so with a simple native wrapper in java the cost is negligible.
Although interesting, the whole study of the cost of obtaining the current time in Java with currentTimeMillis() with clock sources other than TSC is somewhat irrelevant.
> the kind of application it enables (near-native speed) can be had with ordinary native apps as well. Why does something like that have to run in the browser?

For the same reasons all the other kinds of web applications are not developed as native apps as well. Hint: it's not only about speed. Some of the main reasons web apps are winning over native apps is easy of distribution, updates and being multiplataform. And it's being increasingly harder to force javascript to behave as a general application programming environment.
The two biggest mistakes people tend to repeat are thinking that (1) it can't happen here and (2) if it does happen here I'll be different.

> While it's not as productive as, say, Python (wrt how quickly you can get your code up and running) it's much quicker than other languages (and nicer to use in the long run).

I can see that an experienced Go developer would be more productive than an experienced C developer. But, based on my experience of writing Go, i can't see how they could be more productive an experienced developer in any other current mainstream(ish) language - by which i suppose i mean Python, Ruby, Java, Scala, Kotlin, and (modern) C++. Go's great strength is how fast it is to get up to speed with, not how productive it is once you are.

A lot of what has been said here about software documentation and process is true of NASA flight projects, especially manned. Outside of flight, not so much. In some cases, it's a bit more like grad-school-project-that-escaped. An exception would be the modeling code used for things like weather simulation on supercomputers. The scientists need to know that their code actually matches the model they're testing and that things like numerical precision and error bounds are being handled properly. I'll add that the above is anecdotal, based on my experiences at NASA Goddard.
I think the biggest problem people (well, those who really care about the quality of the music) will identify will be that the audio DAC will go from being a (generally) distinct component of the phone to an integrated component of the USB-C driver. I believe this will likely lower the quality of the DAC (as the rest of the chip will be mostly, if not all digital components) and the overall music as a result.

IOW, you may still want to have a discrete DAC dongle for your USB-C phone.

I'd like to commend the author for realizing that a commercial license was not achieving the goals he had for his software and being willing to own up publicly about why and how he changed directions.

However, while I have used MIT/BSD-style licenses in the past, I can no longer recommend them, as they potentially open up software users to malicious submarine patent attacks. That is, a contributor can intentionally contribute code that (purports to) read on a (not-even-issued-yet) patent, and then later threaten to sue users of the software.

That's why I instead recommend Apache-2.0. My arguments are more fully described here: https://www.cncf.io/blog/2017/02/01/cncf-recommends-aslv2/

I was actually addicted to methadone, only used heroin a couple times in my life. I used it because I could work and get stuff done for days on end while being high. I knew people who died because they forgot you can't drink alcohol when you're on it, but I was delusional enough to think I was better when I was on it.

It ended for me when I got old enough to notice the kids at these places I was going to by my drugs, just to do my dirt and leave. The last straw was when I stumbled into a bedroom while trying to find a bathroom at a dealers house. I walked into a room with 6 or 7 kids under 10 years old wearing big bubble coats and gloves, all huddled together in the middle of the room trying to stay warm. It was winter, and it hadn't dawned on me that the house had no heat. I've never been able to forget how I'd been contributed to their situation, my actions rippled out to affect many people beyond myself. Relying on drugs started to feel like a very selfish, narcissistic way of life
Legalizing heroin and regulating it like alcohol would save so many lives.

Not sure where everyone here is from, but in Connecticut we've seen hundreds of people die from fentanyl overdoses in just the past few years.

In an overwhelming majority of the cases, they were sold what they thought was heroin.

Why should we keep forcing drug addicts to buy from dangerous and expensive dealers? Not only would legalizing heroin save millions of lives, it would bring in trillions of dollars in tax revenue

I have switched between many programming languages, and if you are considering Clojure I would highly recommend it. It is immutable first, which helps eliminate many classes of explicit bugs and non-obvious anti-patterns. It also works across Java / Javascript allowing for a common code base of business logic across all layers, and with React Native looks and performs well on iOS and Android.

“It's a joke that Facebook could be valued at $6B.” (2007)
I think the things Rust has had to sacrifice on the altar of zero-cost abstraction (mostly, garbage collection) mean that it will always be harder to use than Go.

The orthogonal fact that it's a much richer language also means that it will always be harder to learn, so Go has advantage in the niche of beginners' language, or second language, particularly for people who mainly work in an untyped language, and so don't already have type system instincts to lean on.
I don't think the problem is with Science or rather the scientific method. Instead it is largely a problem of how scientific data is published and then ultimately presented to the public.

In order for science to truly work in advancing our understanding of a given problem all studies both with positive and negative results need to be published. However, that is often not what happens. In academia often only the 'interesting' results end up getting submitted to journals and published. In the private sector the problem is even more pronounced because there is a vested interest in only publishing results with a certain outcome.

I work in R&D and we often do scientific studies that don't get published because they don't advance our companies viewpoint or could harm sales. And of course that makes perfect sense when you are not required to do so. So in the end you have to take that into account when evaluating a study, especially when coming from industry. There could be contradictory results that never saw the light of day.

Now there is a very simple fix to this which would greatly alleviate this problem: Have a requirement for publishing that forces the researcher to submit the scientific hypothesis, planed research methods, and variables to be studied before submitting the final results, no matter what they may be. This also prevents a researcher from cherry picking results after the fact and leaving out variables that cast doubt on the original hypothesis.

Paramedic here... I agree wholeheartedly. I see both the best and worst of fentanyl. I have woken up plenty of folks who took a much bigger dose than they expected (because it was cut with more fentanyl than usual), and pronounced more than a couple people dead for the same reason...

That being said, it's my go-to tool for analgesia. It acts a lot faster than morphine, and wears off faster as well (which is a useful property in the event of an adverse reaction). Before we carried fentanyl, it would not be uncommon for some patient's pain to remain untouched by morphine. I've yet to have that happen with fentanyl.

Carrying fentanyl means the difference between "Let's get some pain medication in place before we manipulate your broken leg in order to splint it" vs "Morphine is gonna take 20 minutes to reach a meaningful therapeutic effect, and we don't have time for that, so just grit your teeth and we'll try to be quick".
