I don't think the ship maneuvers at all. Both the ship and rocket are pre-programmed with the landing coordinates, and independently arrange to be at the right spot at the right time. The ship has fancy thrusters, but their purpose is to hold it perfectly still even when the water is moving around a lot.

> i dont understand how anyone understands anything at clubs, how is that even possible

Mostly, I don't. Earbuds help for some weird reason, as does pressing your ear shut. Looking at their mouth does 80% of the work. And most conversations I have in clubs are pretty mundane and uninspired. “What do you want to drink?” “This DJ is good. Do you also think this DJ is good?” “Do you agree with late justice Earl Warren that Baker v Carr was the most important supreme court decision of his era?” etc... Low entropy, easy to error correct.

Okta's Firefox addon is incompatible with multi-process mode and that kills responsive design mode in Firefox's developer tools. This is remarkable for a change that's been a long time coming. Their site also erroneously says that the apps "require" the addon, but if you click the apps without the addon, it just takes an extra click to confirm the logon. I haven't been very impressed.

You are trying so hard to escape from a fundamental truth that echoes throughout history: government, money, economy, it's all about power. You can't sidestep the issue of power by throwing technology at it: you will just create an unbalanced, poorly thought out power dynamic (that uses technology!). Technology does not mean you get to throw out your history books. On the contrary, it means you probably need them more than ever.

The EU is not perfect, nor is the US, Canada, China, or anywhere else. We need to carefully analyze and experiment, not mash the reset button in the hope we get something better next time.

> Career services at non-top tier schools are shit.

Doing my undergrad and PhD at an average large state school, I was really lucky to get an internship (and now job), essentially by word of mouth and my PhD advisor.

Now that I'm doing a part-time Masters at an elite-ish (top 10) school, I'm realizing how amazing career services can be. They send out weekly emails saying:

"James Dimon is coming to speak." "Dir. of Engineering from Exxon will be taking questions." "Bring your resume and chat with recruiters." "Women's Society will be hosting Barclays tonight."

My state school had nothing. All of the leg work was done by individual students.

Heavy payloads and ones destined for geostationary orbit currently need a drone ship, whereas lighter payloads or ones for low orbit can return to the launch site.

I'm not sure how much the drone ship launches deviate in a north/south or east/west direction for ship landings (couldn't find a map). The boosters have a fairly significant ability to maneuver, and a fixed platform may offer enough benefits to slightly limit payload sizes. Falcon Heavy will also help there.

> Do y'all remember JS before Firebug? ouch

Most people debugged with alerts or document.write-ing in the page. The "wokest" were aware of Venkman (Moz/FF), Script Editor (IE) and the Visual Studio IE integration (also IE), all of which were pretty much just JS debuggers.

Venkman worked the best but the UX was a horrendous mess, SE and VS were less visually messy but (likely due to IE) frequently got lost entirely and were completely unable to debug the JS toplevel ("and "modules" were not really a thing back then, so much of your code would live in the JS toplevel).

This was also the epoch of Drip, an IE webview which would just reload a page over and over checking for IE's infamous DOM leaks.

God I so don't miss it.

Firebug was definitely a pivotal moment, a complete perspective shift for the field.
See https://st.suckless.org/patches/right_click_to_plumb/

The setup requires:

- a terminal that is aware of its shell current working directory (OSC7) (I use st or tmux and zsh)

- a terminal that would call a plumbing command with the current selection on a mouse right click (I use st or tmux)

- a plumbing command that would call the appropriate action given the selection string passed in (I use a script and plan9 plumber)

- an editor that supports being called from the plumbing script (I use acme or vim remote with vim-fetch plugin)

- an eventual tiling wm or tmux for window management

My dotfiles aren't public but I guess I could try and package them if you're interested. PM me at the email on the suckless page.

I think that some speech recognition systems depend too much on language model priors. This works well for routine tasks where most of the speaker's words are easy to predict. It fails when the speaker's words are specific or unusual.

For example, try speaking the words: "OK Google, the thick round box jumped over the hazy bog."

Given that webextensions are not just a firefox thing: HN's probably the wrong place to voice that particular concern? We're losing a number of sweet addons with the switch to web extensions in Firefox specifically, but in terms of cross-browser gains, web extensions rather than "these things only work in this one browser" still seems the right way forward, and it's just another web spec so if we need more out of it, let's get the attention of the people who draft that spec and get them to given more access to the things we need to bring back the functions that made life better.
> If the Apartheid regime of SA had called itself "socialist" there would have been no boycotts or concerts

Well, sure, because the Western anti-Communist support that propped it up wouldn't have existed, so there’d have been nothing to protest or boycott. The US and other Western allies didn't support it and (at a minimum) turn a blind eye to Israel transferring nuclear weapons technology to South Africa independently of it's anti-Communisr orientation.
> It’s also not worth it because, as San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg wrote in his letter declining to submit an Amazon proposal, “it’s hard to imagine that a forward-thinking company like Amazon hasn’t already selected its preferred location.” Thus, the public bidding war is just a ploy to squeeze out additional subsidies, to play cities off one another. “Blindly giving away the farm isn’t our style,” Nirenberg wrote.

Pretty smart of that mayor to see through this.

Two things bother me with this. 1) It's not applied fairly. If Amazon gets a tax break to locate in CityX then I should also be able to get the same tax break to locate my business there. I'm okay with different cities and states competing in the form of different tax rates and services, but these special deals have to stop. 2) The United States really needs to start behaving as a single country in the best interest of the whole United States. These jobs would still be created somewhere without tax breaks, and we'd all be better off if that happened. Instead we are all collectively worse off in this model where we negotiate against ourselves.

The problem wrt open source / free solutions is data. Kaldi is open source and gets state of the art results -- but the data costs a lot of money. Training the models is doable on a commodity GPU although it takes quite a while.
This. I did this with a math teacher (pre-calc and trig) I had at a community college years later when I was taking calculus etc in college and killing it (after having a less than stellar math education before and during highschool) and I think it was a huge deal to him. He really put his all into teaching that class and a lot of people probably went on to 4 yr college and didn't think much of it but after having professors that hardly spoke a word to their students and spent a straight hour just writing on a chalkboard I totally appreciated an invested, engaged math teacher.

> All the casual quality of life improving apps MUST STARE THESE PEOPLE IN THE FACE from the get go.

The issue you'll run into is that everybody has a different idea of a life improving app. You can't cater to everybody and make their choice the default. Google does a pretty decent job elevating the truly popular apps to the default status: see flashlight, night mode, hotspotting, photo filters, etc. But your life quality app is not my life quality app - and that's ok. That's the place where apps step in.

"Scan" means they take the data out of the "email" silo and use it for purposes other than providing email services to the user (such as using it for advertising).

Searching is not "scanning". Nor is any other normal behavior of providing email services.

So the question at this point is does Google keep your email data silo'd or do they use it for other purposes?

While understanding “any” speech is a great long-term goal, I wish they’d allow these systems to be a little dumber when I want them to.

One example: I often give the same commands to Alexa every day, even at similar times. Yet every few days it just utterly misunderstands those commands, picking words I have never even used before. It doesn’t even offer to choose similar commands I’ve used recently. Worse, the misunderstood command might trigger a paragraph of senseless babble about the misunderstood command, forcing me to shout over Alexa to make it hear the command I really wanted.

So please, please, add some “dumb” options. I want to pick some words, have the system learn them, and just obey commands 90% of the time.
I wouldn't recommend lying (or imagine you'd ever have to). If anyone asks, just be honest about your current and preferred locations.

There's nothing weird about signalling that you'd prefer to live/work somewhere else. ("I'm currently still in St. Louis, but want to field offers in New York," seems like a perfectly reasonable explanation to me.)
Eventually, BFR will have enough performance margin to return to the launch site on all missions. I suspect SpaceX wouldn't want to invest in any fixed oceanic infrastructure when their next generation system wouldn't have any use for it.

PM and PMM at big companies are effectively middle-management. Business manager hiring leans toward the trajectory you describe because 1) its the largest, traditional low-volatility career path for top performers out of good schools 2) it ensures the candidate has passed through a number of relatively rigorous admission filters on pedigree, culture, diligence and performance, and 3) at successful large companies the senior managers/execs are mostly MBA grads and they themselves are biased to hiring younger versions of themselves as reports.
This is quite neat!
For me, enough desk for my computer, a book on the left and an A4 notebook on the right is important (another commenter posted about not having enough room for the paper -- really rang home for me). I either work at a long table on the laptop (but don't use most of the space) or at a desk with an external monitor. Either way I don't have a lot on the desk. Good if chair is the right hight.

More important to me is QUIET and lack of distractions. Either silence or white noise. No random things moving around (as I would have in an open plan office even with headphones).

Otherwise it doesn't matter much. I've written a lot of code on planes (in cabin white noise is great) as long as I can switch off the seatback monitor.

In general I don't like to have a lot of specialized tools (multiple monitors, fancy keyboards, unusual pens etc) -- the cognitive burden is too much.
I guess I'm just speaking for myself here, but it's depressing that according to many folks in this thread my life path was essentially decided for me by the time I was 18. That being said this is far from the first time I've heard this argument, and largely a reason I decided to get into entrepreneurship. I didn't have the pedigree, my parents went to an even worse state school than I did, and my family largely had no industry connections. If I'm going to jump classes I'll have to do it of largely my own merit. Luckily the public at large doesn't care if a Harvard grad or a state school grad built the company/product they love.

What you say would make sense if you were suggesting some government was targeting specific well-off individuals.

I'm not disagreeing that the situation is bad. I just don't see how adding bias to your recruitment is a solution to the problem. If we had a bunch of women who couldn't get engineering jobs I'd understand, but we seem to have the opposite situation where everyone is competing for a limited resource. If you're proportionate to the pool, you're probably doing well.

My response here is mostly that many of the visual choices made in the games I'm criticizing were made completely independently of the game design team. This is far from ideal but it's a consequence of how the production pipeline is set up in these blockbuster titles. I do vehemently disagree that the aesthetic traits I'm looking for are at odds to gameplay and design decisions, though.

I could go on for a while about how Zelda BOTW manages to integrate the design and aesthetic choices, but I'm going to get mugged if I try to use that game as an example again. Maybe I'll use it as part of a different write-up on visual design.
