Market Bubbles and Sonic Attacks: Mass Hysterias Will Never Go Away
I can see this working well, unless LoS goes through one of those walls. There's a metal mesh in most of the walls of my house (putting two routers directly opposite each other on either side of an internal wall will cut the signal strength to about 60%), and trying to get a reliable signal because of the shape of the house (roughly L-shaped) was a nightmare (line of sight was through two external walls).
A friend of mine in a similar situation is making a game with his kid - he writes code while his child is drawing sprites. They collaborate on the game mechanics, testing, etc. That works for him and (he says) it's quality time that's loads of fun. Maybe you could include your kids?
That's super weird. In eighth grade (2013-ish, not long ago) we had an entire course on geometry that was all about proving theorems and turning some given information into "the shape satisfies the definition of a parallelogram because..." The tests were exactly what you described you wanted: hour long journeys where you applied the theorems and postulates we learned up to that point to prove something about a shape. I struggled a lot but ultimately I believe I am better at thinking because of it. If you want some books:

The textbook we used: https://www.amazon.com/Geometry-Ray-C-Jurgensen/dp/039597727...

AoPS is pretty good but more geared toward math competitions. The reading is ok but the problems take some serious thought and if you can get your kid to do one a day s/he'll probably be better off for it.
> if the A380 is struggling, the 747 is moribund or dead

Boeing has built and sold over 1,500 747s [1]. It first flew in 1969 and is now being end of lifed. It has been obscenely profitable over its lifetime. The A380 first flew in 2005 [2]. It has been a commercial disaster.

The 747 was a great plane for 1969. Airbus built the finest horse-drawn carriage just as the Model T came out.

> constrained slots at major airports serving the major routes

Between 30 and 40% of passengers departing from JFK or Newark will go on to a connection [3]. Consider what happens when they start flying directly to their destinations.

if the A380 is struggling, the 747 is moribund or dead

Two American carriers (United and Delta) already knew this. They discontinued the 747 and their last flights were earlier this year.

The A320s and 777s (and soon A350s) are just more efficient for passenger ETOPS flights. Hell, United will probably even fly 737MAXs on Atlantic routes like they did with 757-ERs.

it depends on your reasons.

- if you need to scale the number of teams working on the same product you need to introduce microservices to make the teams work independently from each other.

- if you need to scale the (monolith) service and it is too expensive to just scale it n times. microservices can help because you can scale each microservice independently.

- that's said the overhead is real. There have been quite a few publications and advocates (like Randy Shoup) that staying monolith is fine until you have pain that a microservice architecture can ease.

I actually don't doubt the Daily Mail about this particular story. Mining abuses in Africa include some of the worst crimes committed by Western civilization (vide: the concept of "Western Civilization" may be outdated), over things some of us in technology would consider essentially valueless today.

Chocolate is almost as serious a concern as cobalt and diamond. The legacy of colonialism created a food and infrastructure vacuum in Africa which is typically filled by mineral extraction and labor exploitation.

I'm a Mac User, and honestly I think the Mac terminal is fine and there's very little room for improvement. But if I were to improve here's a few of the things that I would do:

- Make it easier to know what the current process is and kill it if it goes haywire. An out-of-control process can trap control C and ignore it. I really hate digging into activity monitor to kill a process when I just want to keep the same terminal window open.

- A better display of my current working directory, and my current git branch. These items should be displayed at the edge of the window, not inside the terminal itself.

- Better view and management of my previous commands in the shell.

- Do away with psuedo-gui terminal applications. My terminal already has a large scroll back buffer, so we don't need applications within the terminal to also implement scrolling and paging. I have plenty of graphical text editors on hand. We have protocols like VNC for remote desktop control.

- Try and see if there is a way to lower the learning curve of various terminal applications that I may use infrequently. Often I learn how to use terminal applications by Googling around for examples of what I am trying to do. Perhaps something like autocomplete that we have in our modern IDEs?

- Allow me to collapse the output of programs, just like we can collapse comments in hacker news.
The A380 is too early and fell in a hole created by powerful and efficient new engines. This created the possibility for long point to point destinations.

I can tell you why I chose the Echo.

I'm probably significantly older than the mean at HN, and I'm starting to forget stuff. My wife and I find the shopping list and reminders very handy compared to using the phone.

I also have underutilized smart home devices (wemo, harmony hub, etc) and Echo just got introduced in Canada at a lower price. I read that Echo has slightly better smart home compatibility than Home, so I decided to go with Echo. My friends with the Home seem equally happy with their devices as I am. I use Echo to turn on groups of lights by voice. It's great.

My main gripe with the Echo is that the skills are region locked. There are tons of skills that are only English (US) and not available for English (Canada) yet. I'm lucky that the two skills I'm waiting for aren't that important to me.

I get that there are privacy concerns, but I ended up opting convenience and functional benefit over them. I kinda see my Echo as "big brother[1] with benefits".

[1] big sister might be more accurate, given that we only have the option of a female voice with Echo

FIDE, the world chess governing body, seems to have signed a long term contract for the World Rapid and Blitz championships. (https://www.chess.com/news/view/3-year-contract-fide-saudi-a...).

As long as it’s one country, one vote, you’re likely to get outcomes like this one, where a wealthy federation can buy off a large number of smaller federations. This is a perpetual problem in professional chess, hence the existence of proposals like this one: https://en.chessbase.com/post/one-vote-per-rated-game

Edit:
Also worth noting, Saudi Arabia was the ONLY bidder for this year’s championships.
How do you name your classes instead? I ask because I'm now mostly in favor of naming classes after the patterns, at least when there's no relevant term from the domain to use. That is, when the alternative is to invent a new abstract name, I think it's better to use the one that comes with the design pattern. The resulting names are often ugly, but at least they clearly communicate the intent to people also familiar with the pattern.
> If these kind of "hate speech" laws existed in England in the 19th century

These laws not only existed, they where far more stringent, prosecution far easier and the punishment far more severe. Try going back then and discussing the king/queen in a negative way.

And yet, his book was still published.

And in any case, he didn't say it to be threatening or abusive, so that's moot.

> A stark warning that this concern is not a sterile theoretical exercise

The HR policies of an American company (a country where in a lot of states you can be fired for any/no reason at all) is neither here nor there in a discussion about the UK's definition of hate crime, where that definition needs to be proven in a court of law to a jury of your peers at a trial.

Not every country adheres to such a fanatical stance on free speech as the USA, and yet seem to be doing just fine. Especially the UK, where there are restrictions on free speech. Sensible restrictions supported by the sensible population, who are not oddly terrified of their government.

Yes, the Raspberry Pi models are a little confusing, especially with the '+' versions and PCB-revisions.

>I heard an analyst say that you have to carry a lot of fuel to carry a lot of fuel.

Yep! Aerospace has been on the leading edge of manufacturing methods for many years because of it. Even worse is having a heavy airplane at the start of the flight (the weight is always there).

In school we were talking about manufacturing aerospace parts, and the joke is that you always take a nice chunk of aluminum and machine away 85% of the volume.

GE has been doing lots of work with metal additive manufacturing, in some cases increasing performance while also decreasing cost. It allows geometries which are otherwise impossible with traditional manufacturing methods.

Metal AM is also hella expensive. You won't see tons of metal AM parts on consumer cars anytime soon, as the metal powders and machines are expensive, and production rates are often slow in comparison to traditional manufacturing methods.

For reference, my professor passed around a part which weighed around 2 pounds and fit in your hand. The all-in cost to get that printed in steel was around $5,000, and around $8,000 for titanium.

Boeing could have chosen to compete with the A380 and built their own Superjumbo, but they chose not to, instead working on the Dreamliner.

The 744, which was the last update to the 747 to see large market penetration, wasn't all that cost effective either:

> with 70 percent of its seats occupied, used more than 95 percent of the fuel needed by a fully occupied 747

Yes, the A380 is more fuel efficient, and cost per seat is much lower, but I suspect with the exception of Emirates, most airlines did not need bigger planes. Other airlines such as BA, Quantas and Singapore bought A380s to replace their oldest 744s, but still have a lot of 744s in service that won't be replaced with A380s.
In a monogamous society the variance in the number of children may be lower, but the variance in number of grandchildren or great-grandchildren can be large.

And as the article mentioned, if children are less likely to live to grow up under polygamy, then that effect is magnified over multiple generations.

Another point is that material success is not completely genetic, and therefore if it is too strongly selected for, good genes will be selected out that would otherwise result in later generations being successful.

So I think it is not at all clear that it is evolutionarily beneficial.
Exactly! I think we completely agree.

All those reasons are very fine ones - but it's still a dangerous move to go microservice style. You have to know what you are doing, and in our buzzword driven industry that's not the case usually.

Little insidious time wasters will creep into your work flow and they will lurk there eat away dollars and you won't even notice.

I constantly switch back and forth between working on monolithic and microservice apps and for the majority of companies sticking to a monolith until the pain points you mentioned become unbearable is the good call.

Even then, just break down your apps to bigger sized services, and stop when the pain goes away. Microservices is a catchy name but if anything micro is the poison there.
> And problem is if our daughters or sons will come one day saying they're transgender, they will have no arguments, but just hurt feelings...

I'm not sure why you say hurt feelings, rather than just "feelings".

On a separate note, historically, the medical profession has been terrible at ignoring or dismissing real issues that people have faced because we didn't have an understanding of them at the time. There's a very strong positivist bent that, if we don't formally understand an issue then it doesn't exist. Which completely ignores the fact that our knowledge of the body and brain and all their complexities (and all the ways they can vary and go wrong and so forth) was and is quite incomplete.

The attitude that, if we don't have an objective theoretical account of some mental/physical then the right thing to do is basically discount its reality has led to so much needless suffering.

This of course is not itself any evidence that someone's claims about themselves is true, but it is something that should always be seriously taken into consideration.

"Spirituality and Religion are not quite the same thing."

Exactly. I've been saying this for years to anyone who asks me if I'm religious. I say "no, but I am spiritual". I reject the notion that God takes attendance every Sunday and doesn't like me eating meat on Fridays. I also find zero need for organized religion. Spirituality is something different.

But, hey, if the religious thing works for other people, then have at it. It doesn't work for me, but maybe it does for them.

Spirituality doesn't require religion, just as getting in shape doesn't require a gym membership or a group class.

> I'm still stuck at the 'I don't get it' phase, despite looking at Docker, and more recently Kubernetes, several times over the years, mainly because everyone around me evangelizes it so much.

Docker is a reimplementation of binary packages, except it pulls in whole
operating system (as a chroot image) as a dependency instead of finer
granularity and provides separate networking for each package, so every
service running on a single server can be statically bound to
192.168.56.16:8888, even though the server never saw the 192.168.56.0/24
network. All that at the cost of quite opaque heavy magic with filesystems and
network configuration.

Kubernetes is a reiteration of configuration management software, this time
with Docker replacing RPMs and DEBs, and a failure detection mechanism that
can install and start a failed package (service) on some other server in the
network. More or less.

Boeing played it better because they did not re-invest heavily in the 747, and let it die.

It’s not a question of competition. If all of the remaining 747 orders switch to the A380, its still a failure.

And as far as airport congestion goes, building new airports is far easier than new rail lines.
