I actually wrote a YAML parser that closed this loophole by raising an exception on YAML files that have inconsistent indents. Somebody reported exactly that as an issue on my issue tracker:

https://github.com/crdoconnor/strictyaml/issues/23

I'm aware that there are a bunch of annoyances like that, but I'm still convinced the core is good and making a new standard which is stricter solves most of these issues.

FWIW, I haven't run into this problem personally but it's pretty obvious that it is a problem.
Oh, I'm not under any illusions that this kind of thing never happens in Canada, but I think if you look at the response to that incident (compared to cases in the US) there are hopeful signs.

The Braidwood Inquiry concluded the use of Tasers in the case wasn't justified. The officers were charged with perjury (not murder, but at least something). The RCMP issued an apology to Dziekański's mother.

Compare this to the response to fatal shootings in the US, and it's very clear to me I prefer this line of the sand.

This article is clickbait garbage.
Totally agree. But where are the women?
Yes, depending on time of year. They could probably have aimed to hit Mars, but stopping in Mars orbit would (probably) require another burn on the Mars end.

Regardless, like other posts have said, they haven't actually left Earth orbit yet. There's one more burn in about 5 hours.

> many Americans would be shocked by the cost of food if workers were paid higher wages

How do you explain why its so much cheaper to buy quality food in European countries?

When I am in France or Austria, quality butter, eggs, fresh egg pasta, salami, and milk are all very inexpensive. Quality cultured butter in the US is especially expensive. (Mache in the US is also extremely expensive compared to France but that's a demand thing afaik. I don't remember the price diff of spinach.) Even Switzerland had better prices than the US when I was there for quality animal products.

" The superionic ice could help explain the lopsided, off-center magnetic fields of Uranus and Neptune, the solar system’s seventh and eighth planets that are known as ice giants and were visited briefly by NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft in the 1980s. Instead of Earth’s magnetic field generated at the core of the planet, the fields of those icy bodies may originate, in part, within shells of superionic ice inside their mantles. "

cool!!
I'm familiar with how the architecture was designed, and if I had chosen, could have ported code. However, like I said, it didn't really perform any faster than a PC of the time on any code (even ones optimized for the platform). Writing massively multithreaded code, maintaining it, tuning it, and then keeping an entire separate platform for something that isn't measurably faster for a wide range of problems is a huge cost/burden to developers.

I certainly cared about performance but like most people we found that general purpose computers that ran all our codes quickly were not a cost/burden to developers.
Not by itself, but in the scheme of things, it makes a huge difference. Studying or polling 100,000 people across the world is way different than doing the same with 100 people at her University.
I absolutely agree. C++ is at least a decade behind D. Literally.

The kinds of features that eventually hit C++, D actually had for at least ten years. I think of D as a clean break. A major version upgrade with an API break. Whereas C++ has committees that move incredibly slowly, D has two architects who are decades long professionals and considered experts in their fields. It has focus, and it's not concerned with making code from the 70's compile on a modern compiler.

I simply cannot enumerate all of the features I use from D that I use every day that have become second-nature. Until I try to code in C++ again and I'm like, "The !@$@!ing order of declarations matter?! I can't make circular references without manually writing forward declarations?!" It feels like banging rocks together to make a 747.

Heavy in full reusable can lift 140,000 pounds to low earth orbit. The Saturn V at its best lifted 310,000 pounds.

So Heavy is about 1/2 as lift capable...at a tiny fraction of the $/kg.
I think this is a big point. SpaceX has a solid business just with their Falcon 9 rockets. Delays to the Falcon Heavy really only impact them for payloads that require the bigger rocket and their overall R&D costs.

Landing and reusing the Falcon 9 cores is probably a much bigger benefit to their bottom line overall.

Tesla on the other hand has to be able to deliver tons of reliable cars to people all over the place in a competitive market. Delays to the Model 3 mean they're burning money they can't afford to lose while their competitors are rapidly catching up to them.

While SpaceX could continue their successful Falcon 9 launches during the 5 year delay on Falcon Heavy, Tesla will likely be gone in 5 years if Model 3 delays are even close to that long.

I miss the simplicity of the old Music app. The "redesigned" music app is an eyesore and a clunky experience that managed to kill my love of listening to music using Apple devices since the iPod days. Now, I'm using Spotify and heck even Amazon's music player is way better. Sigh.
I get where you're coming from and I think routine is important. But I make sure to do some of the dance and spin classes for my cardio and it makes it a lot more enjoyable. I actually also enjoy lifting weights. The treadmill is a bit boring but running -feels- good. Getting the blood pumping and stretching my legs feels great. Doing sports at the park works different muscles and I can run around outside playing for 3 hours having fun.

I view it as "cling to any positive motivation that comes my way, it can make me workout harder and the time pass faster, but always fall back on discipline." 80% of the time it doesn't feel like a chore, but even when it does I still go.

Also I think there's a lot of people who use the gym as some kinda hate machine. "I'm just here because I hate my body" seems like a good way to feel awful all the time.
A lot of people don't care about using fancy streaming boxes, are perfectly fine using the TV's crappy smart features, and would be much more pissed that the TV they bought is useless out of the box unless they buy a streaming device for it.

I agree but feel that "fixing it" is itself a form of apology especially when acknowledging the problem. I don't feel an actual "I'm sorry ..." type of apology is needed unless you really had an impact on someone's feelings, emotions, or in the work scenario you knew it caused them unexpected grief (work on their day off, etc). Otherwise, people messing up is just part of the job and they should expect that they will occasionally have to deal with some mess ups.

Alternatively, I might just be low on the self-compassion spectrum.
5 times the memory is a serious exaggeration. At least twice, but no more than 3x.
Reposting my comment from the other thread:

Someone noticed there was a camera feed on the mission control wall that shows the Center Core's drone ship, after the smoke clears no ship can be seen:
https://twitter.com/Darkphibre/status/960990105581240321

9:00 into the feed, it's likely the core either missed or failed to land properly. Although the screen is partially out of view. So this is still speculative.
Center core going to Mars?

It's not that elliptical (at least not for another 5 hours or so when burns resume)
It's definitely another inflection point. The Falcon 9 is 75% reusable by cost of components, the Falcon Heavy is 90% reusable. And it's capable of much, much more. That might open up the heavy lift launch market to a whole new gaggle of players and begin really expanding out what is done there. It'll certainly put a lot more missions on the table that weren't there before, like low cost outer planets space science probes.

Also, something nobody has talked about yet. Falcon Heavy is capable of something no other US rocket is really able to do yet, launch new space station modules (or new space stations period).

I mean, sure, it works just fine if people refrain from doing certain arbitrary things (such as the scripted spamming that's happening as I write this), but that's why the grandparent comment said it was a hack and not a trick that one might want to attempt in production.
I guess they'd have to make the center rocket stronger to handle the added force of more rockets. Also, there may be diminishing returns when it comes to adding more boosters, and at some point it makes more sense to just redesign the rocket to be bigger (hence the BFR, which is the planned successor to Falcon Heavy).
Was there anything special about the center core other than boosting longer and needing to land out at sea? Seems like they've landed plenty out at sea, but not while landing two on land.

I thought this was impressive: "With a total of 27 first-stage engines, Falcon Heavy has engine-out capability that no other launch vehicle can match—under most payload scenarios, it can sustain more than one unplanned engine shutdown at any point in flight and still successfully complete its mission." http://www.spacex.com/falcon-heavy

What's really "enough RAM & CPU cycles"?
I think one can argue that this is really offloading development cost as a a resource cost onto the users - who must run "native", inefficient applications.

This means not only implicitly making a choice about the users' hardware, but it may in some cases exclude certain user segments as well.
Sure. And like I said, for relatively trivial stuff you can almost do a find-and-replace of CUDA keywords with OpenCL keywords and get something that will run with relatively minimal tweaking.

The problem is the middleware - i.e. when you go to write a program, you want to write your financial simulation or whatever, not a RNG library. Once that stuff gets written, OpenCL will be perfectly viable. It's just sort of a slog now, vs a huge amount of stuff available for CUDA, both from NVIDIA and from others.

Another, more general problem is that OpenCL is not really a GPGPU language, it's a general framework for dispatching tasks to heterogeneous processors. You can hypothetically use OpenCL to dispatch tasks to a FPGA or a DSP or anything else. This means there's a relatively silly amount of boilerplate compared to CUDA, which is stylistically annoying but not really complex. But in general it's also up to the vendor to implement their own SDK, compiler, etc, and there's no guarantee that what runs on one OpenCL platform will run on another. What is commonly referred to as "OpenCL" is actually the AMD APP SDK and the NVIDIA OpenCL SDK, which both implement their own version of parallel C++ dispatched according to the OpenCL function interface/semantics.

So in other words, OpenCL suffers from a bit of Architecture Astronaut syndrome. AMD solved the problem of making a framework that can dispatch tasks to any coprocessor that implements their interface, NVIDIA solved the problem of making a GPGPU language. As such, AMD sometimes struggles to fulfill the cross-platform promise of their language and suffers in conciseness.

For learning CUDA, I really like the Thrust language. You can write GPGPU programs that are literally 10 lines or less. It looks like regular C++ STL but you can execute it on the GPU. You can easily call __device__ functions using functors iterating across your dataset, or get raw_pointers into a device_vector and then pass them into a normal kernel launch, so there's a lot of flexibility there to tune stuff as you want to make it more complex.

http://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/thrust/index.html

For a non-trivial program, here's my master's thesis, which I did in Thrust. Not really machine learning but at least you can see what you're getting into.

For AMD, there is supposedly an equivalent called "Bolt Framework" but I have not used it personally. As is customary for AMD's libraries, after release it was abandoned and it has not been updated in several years, best of luck.

And the amazing thing is, even if SpaceX should fail, an entire industry has started to happen.

Arianespace has spent years developing new rocket engines specifically for reusability, and has started building prototype rockets.

I'm sure Sagan worked with 'great minds', but it definitely wasn't some kind of Grand Committee of Earth.

Is it? I haven’t been in one recently, but I would get people out on one side, and in on the other (which typically isn’t possible in existing subway tunnels)

Rollercoasters have a few other advantages:

- exits at every row of seats.

- less crowded (no standing passengers, never three people on a two seat bench)

- at every stop, everybody gets out, and everybody gets in.

- passengers typically are relatively fit (no small kids, no elderly)

- no luggage.

That simplifies the process quite a bit.
Did they need to modify the Tesla to make it vacuum worthy?

Like, remove any fluids, remove any parts that might explode in the hot or cold of space, deflate the tires, etc.

Note: I'm more interested in a scientific answer, as opposed to casual conjectures. Preferably from an engineer knowledgeable of such things. And specifically, the materials sciences aspect of how materials will survive in a vacuum.
But they also say the insertion was successful. So the payload made it, but they were planning to recover the center and that failed?
