In a hypothetical world where the USAF was a mercenary force, could anyone besides the US government afford to hire them as they are now? It's hard to imagine a client wanting to pay $70K/hour for a single F-22, plus some mercenary markup.[1] I wonder how the USAF would evolve if they had to be completely self sufficient.

Touchbar 2 will likely "be even faster than Touchbar 1, and more responsive than ever!"
I own one, and although I don't really dislike Touch Bar, it doesn't do anything useful for me. The lack of physical esc key still feels awkward, but I think the impact is overstated a bit (not a vim user though).

One minor issue is that it's too easy to bump against the trackpad or touch bar when resting your hands on the keyboard, which is slightly frustrating.

I'm a huge fan of TouchID. It makes using a password manager way easier.

The MacBook Pro already has a headphone jack. To share a different perspective, I'd actually disagree with you on supporting old USB and HDMI. By having 2 USB-C ports on each side you can choose what side you prefer to plug stuff in. Carrying around a dongle isn't a problem for me.
Are you suggesting that microwave oven doesn't work because it doesn't use ionizing radiation? Nonionizing radiation CAN have effects on humans, and current regulations are only based on temperature effects i.e a proxy like a SAR value. But there can be many effects of nonionizing radiation even before it raises tissue temperature level.
They mean API in the sense of anything that someone can declare a dependency against.

Whether it's a web service or a library is immaterial; the point of the thing is to be able to update something and formally tell any downstream dependencies whether the update breaks compatibility or not.

Technically speaking, there's no law governing any history; There's laws governing behavior in the present that arose from events in history. I live in Germany for 12 years by now; I can't claim a lawyer-level knowledge of e.g. §130 StGB, but I have a basic understanding.

What I'm having trouble following is the logic of "the violent extremism on the other side is less bad, because it hasn't led to similarly horrible effects yet".
Coding is translating (encoding) an existing design into an arcane language at a high level of detail. A coder produces source code from a specification in the way that a secretary produces a typed document from a dictaphone tape. Like a secretary, a coder may be expected to have the domain knowledge and judgement to interpolate small details, but should not generally be making decisions.

Understanding business needs and gathering requirements is software analysis. Deciding what components to write to fulfill those requirements is system architecture. Determining the modules, algorithms, and data structures to use within those components is software design. Finally, writing down those algorithms and data structures in a way that satisfies the compiler is coding.

Most of us "software engineers," "software developers," or simply "programmers" wear all of these hats at various points in a project's lifecycle. But to wear the title "coder" is to explicitly mark your position as one with minimal critical thinking, problem solving, or decision-making.

Coding is nowhere near sufficient to create programs that solve complex problems, in the same way that typing is not sufficient to create a novel. If people explicitly designated as coders are making decisions and thinking critically, we should be as concerned as if typesetters were reworking character development.

"Design is not coding, coding is not design" [0].

Yeah some of this do not seem like bugs, but more like devs making full use of their sole and direct access to the hardware while the game is running.

After all, the Nintendo hand held line may well be closer to the NES and C64 than a modern PC or smartphone.

A lovely example of a bug in a game that may as well be intention is a use after free memory bug in the DOS version of SimCity. This went uncaught during development because DOS didn't have the checks in place as modern OSs do. But trying to run it on Windows and you get an error.

So what Microsoft did in the name of backwards compatibility and user friendliness was to program and exception for the SimCity binary.

Similarly the stability of Win9x was kinda compromised by how the cmd window had virtually all the capabilities of DOS. This to the point of being able to poke various BIOS memory areas.

What in the world does this complaint have to do with SemVer?

If a library owner changes their API, all SemVer does is make sure you know about it. Are you saying that if they didn't follow SemVer they wouldn't change their API?
Can't really go faster because we're already about 80% of the speed of sound. Going any closer to the speed of sound than that dramatically increases drag.

Going higher (for less drag) is a problem because it's hard to keep the engines running in the thin air, and on top of that, high speed also makes it hard to keep them running.

Until we figure out a new engine design, 80% of the speed of sound is about the max.

Military engines get around this by consuming incredible amounts of fuel - not practical for commercial flights.
Looking for recommendations across the board. It doesn't have to be specific. Knowing that Phaser is a very good library for game development is in itself good information.

I might or might not be interested in game development now, but I am interested in seeing recommendations of good resources from experienced programmers.

Hopefully automation will reduce the need for humans to do the boring, repetitive jobs and increase the number of people working in jobs they find rewarding and interesting. I doubt we could eliminate the former completely and have everyone doing the latter, but it seems that automation may improve the ratio significantly.
AAR (Air to Air Refueling) isn't really necessary for the civilian market, but is extremely important for the military.

Most people don't realize, but the range of a fighter jet is very small. The F-15 gets about 1500 miles of range (or 750 miles of radius). A 747 gets nearly 8,000 miles of range, so FIVE TIMES more range.

Also do you ever wonder how we get jets to Afghanistan? We literally fly them the entire way. After September 11th the Air Force had to set up something known as a "Sky Bridge". It's a network of Boeing Aerial Refueling planes that F-15s would visit, one after the other, to airbases in Europe, Turkey, Kuwait, etc. So F-15s were refueling 4 or so times on a single flight.

Other fun facts:
- Helicopters can do aerial refueling as well
- If you lower the amount of fuel in a jet, it can take off with shorter runway. This can be important in hastily set-up or even damaged airports, and the jets can then refuel aerially later
light.co was mentioned on the corresponding reddit thread. I'm getting afraid I'm going to be burnt by laforge's shima glasses. They are 'super open' with updates showing disassembled hardware components but despite promising press reviews and shipments in Q1, I haven't seen a single hands-on demo or press review or evidence that even their proof of concept exists.
The GBC is basically a handheld NES. And changing parameters mid-scanline was a trick on various microcomputers as well (i think it was used on the Amiga to push up the number of colors you could use by swapping the pallette).

And i am not surprised that a non-cartridge would read zeros. I suspect the GB(C) was set up somewhat similar to the C64, where the cartridge connector on the back was basically wired to certain RAM pins on CPU.
> There is no text which codifies it, unlike Islam.

Each sect has a different Quran, different Sharia, different precepts. There are massive differences in the way Islam is practiced across the world.

> Unlike religion, its not voluntary.

Imagine then someone who openly claims to be an artist and that creating art is a part of them. Would you say this person culturally associate with a murderer who kills "for art"? Both call themselves and associate with the artistic work.

> I would say a better analogy would be a white man associating himself with black gang culture by getting gold teeth, gold chains, tattoos,etc to a job.

I don't think that it is a good analogy, as that white man associate concretely to black gang culture.

A better analogy would be, a man who associate with black culture in general but gets rejected because his employer consider him to associate with black gang culture although he claims he doesn't.
Sure and that puts it in the same camp as PoS and other currently unworkable schemes. A possible way forward; we don't know yet.
That's when you synchronize. Tell all the people to walk clockwise, just like in a swimming lane once more than two people are in it.
Probably. I spent 11 years at university (six for a full-time physics degree, five for a part-time CS bachelor), and started writing notes in LaTeX after a few weeks. Initially, we were a team of three: two took turns in LaTeX, and one took notes by hand to find and fix errors afterwards (e.g. when unknown symbols were used; this was before DeTeXify existed iirc).

After a year or so, we ditched the handwritten notes, and moved to a rotation between writing and proofreading. Images were still copied on paper only, tagged with an ID on paper and where it should appear in LaTeX, and drawn in Inkscape after the lecture.

I only really learned TikZ during my final physics thesis. When I started the CS degree, I was comfortable enough with it to stop bringing paper to class. (Also, I was now working alone, since my two collaborators moved on to other things.)
That's actually revealing.

First people try to argue that all this gigantic energy expenditure "buys" security.

And then – in the fine print – you are learning that you don't actually "buy" security, you have been sold a subscription. This gigantic waste of energy doesn't do anything unless you follow up with even more energy.

So the calculations that x amount of energy "secures" y amount of economic value is flat out wrong. Because x should be x + x' + x'' ad infinitum.

Oh, and the longer you stay in, the more difficult is getting out, because "sunk cost" isn't a fallacy in this scheme, it's actually real.

I'm not too familiar with those, but it looks like they just shut down the circuit. We were looking for arcing to pinpoint where the problem was. It was a short wave radio station, so it had a large antenna. Arcing in the antenna was probably caused by a broken wire. That could be fixed by climbing up and replacing it.
"You have to know, anything crowdfunded is very high risk. I'm not sure why people even do it if the reward is maybe a product at a discount."

I've done it because of a product that seems to actually fit my needs or because it is neat. The one i'm waiting on right now is a 3D printer with laser engraving and carving abilities. If it does a little of what it says it does, it'll be well worth it. Worth it enough to risk the money. At this point, even if I don't get the product, I've had months of ideas pouring into my artsy head and will probably find other ways to do similar things, so I've already benefited.

And sure it is a risk, just by nature. I know I could lose the money, so I don't use money I need to live. It is the same rule I use for gambling, either at the rare casino visit or when playing lottery (the hope tax). The odds are better with this, though, and honestly my spouse and I would spend just as much going to a casino and blowing our money there. Not getting the stuff isn't happy, but in the end isn't a big deal.

If that sort of risk doesn't sit comfortably with you, then it is going to seem silly.

No believing involved, this is just science and using geiger counters. Here is the relevant link: https://www.bfs.de/DE/themen/ion/umwelt/lebensmittel/pilze-w...

The thing is that there are long living isotopes in the upper soil of the forests. As they are long living, they have not decayed yet enough and are not going to in the next decades. Something does not need to kill 80% of the population to be a significant health risk. With the isotopes relevant in Bavaria, they are only dangerous when eaten. So there is nothing dangerous about living in those regions. However mushrooms tend to aggregate the radioactive particles and so do the wild boar eating from the mushrooms. Not every animal is contaminated, but every single one has to be scanned for radiation, before they can be eaten, and quite a few have to be destroyed every year.

Yeah but if you hack your Tesla even to change the color theme of the display, you'll probably loose warranty, loose certification status or whatever it is called (so you can't have any new parts installed unless it is expensively recertified), you'll get a call from Tesla asking what the hell you are doing, and so on.

On the other hand, I can replace almost every part in my conventional car without ill effects from the manufacturer.

I did the same thing in my early 20s and came to regret it. Especially since I know now that if I'd found the right mentors and/or learned the right things, I could've made better decisions and gotten much more accomplished in less time. You live and you learn.

The identity thing you mentioned is big, too. We can turn ourselves into machines, but it robs us of our personalities. Like anything else, being good at being social requires practice. You get rusty. It also helps to have interesting things to talk about, and work talk gets boring fast. If that's all you have to talk about, you start to wonder what happened to the rest of you, and so does everyone else.
China's New Wave of Internet Censorship: Name Verification for Online Commenting
There is a market. However, just last week here in China I had someone approach me who had shipped a large quantity in to China and was looking for someone with the appropriate import license (they hadn't thought that far ahead). Cross-border everything is pretty painful. Easier at postal scale, hassle at container scale. China will pay top dollar for organic. However, proving that may be hard if your home country is not in Europe and is perceived as having pliable/unreliable regulators.

I also feel like Docker's multistage feature already solves the container size flaw.

>This tool also allows us to build containers without all the container development tools inside it (yum, GCC, secrets, etc). Basically, Buildah produces clean containers, which means the container can be much, much smaller.

With docker you basically have one stage where you load all the dev tools to build the application or library. Then you have a second stage where you merely copy your application and run it. I often have a Dockerfile that builds a java library which then merely copies the .jar file into an empty docker image. The end result is usually a docker image smaller than 10MB. Then I add this image to the dockerfile that actually needs the library by adding it as an empty multistage and as part of the last stage I just copy the files of the library image into the application image.
This way you can "inherit" multiple docker library images into one application image.

The reality is that Bitcoin uses a not so negligible amount of energy versus a negligible amount of transactions on a global scale, using thousands of times more energy per transaction than the traditional system no matter how you look at it. That's not sustainable going forward.

We also spent some time discussing the estimate, but you were unable to make a good case for alternate variables (you actually explicitly agreed with a majority of the method) and ended up quote mining our emails to make a bunch of false statements. Hence I had to post: https://digiconomist.net/re-serious-faults-in-beci
Wait, you can choose what kind of energy you are using. In Germany at least, you can choose a utilities company who gives you 100% renewable energy (at a slightly higher price).

(Of course, I know that you get the same electrons - electricity is fungible. But you do increase demand for renewable energy, and in the long term change the energy mix.)
If that were the case - and the government position is that they do not discriminate on religion - then how did he get his airport job, security badge, and global entry card in the first place?

As written, your statement comes across as simple bigotry, and US laws make that sort of simple bigotry too hard to carry out on an institutional scale. (Complex and subtle bigotry is a different issue.)

You wrote "prevent terror attacks". Some of the terror attacks in the US which are not caused by Muslims include the 2017 Charlottesville attack, the mosque bombing in Bloomington, MN, the stabbing of Timothy Caughman, the 2016 shooting of Dallas police officers, and the 2015 Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood shooting.

What should we do to prevent future terror attacks like these?
High voltage, sure, but outside of an inverter that you can/should buy prepackaged none of this needs to be high voltage. The system in the embedded video has 14 sets of cells in series, meaning 40-60 volts.
Yeah, but does anybody do that?

If I had an electric car, I'd charge it overnight. I don't get different pricing at different times. There has been talk of introducing that for decades now (in Germany), but I'm not sure it is coming soon, nor that I'd like it. Probably, it would become just more expensive when I need it most, without being able to change my usage patterns much.
Agree: for me it's nothing to do with fundamental obsolescence. JS as a language is doing fine and I welcome the new additions in the various ECMA standards.

What I'm not so welcoming of is, for example, the Angular 1.x -> Angular 2, 4, whatever transition. I don't want to have to keep thrashing my projects due to incompatible upgrades.

And I'm tired of the hype cycles. Not so very long ago everyone and their dog was banging on about how React was the next big thing, and now a lot of them are running scared over the patents issue. It seems like almost overnight all I read about now is Vue.js, but I know that in another few months, or maybe a year, everyone will have moved on again.

Fundamentally there's just no incentive to invest, especially not if you have other things you also need to focus on in your work and life.
