We can do even better some of the time - for example, we can get to ~few nanosecond timing precision for pulsars like J1909-3744 [1], which is equivalent to measuring (changes in) the path length to that pulsar to a few meters or better.

Of course on problem with such pulley logic is the difficulty of building signal amplifiers. Without signal amplification one must pull the inputs quite hard such that all tension is provided to all stages. The Aprahulians were believed to use elephants for this task.

MySQL is usually shambles still. I am pretty sure that Django defaulted to MyISAM until later than that. Or maybe it's that most installs were not on the most recent version until well after the 2010 release. I have had some really crappy problems to fix because of tables being a mix of MyISAM and InnoDB, tables being locked because one type has a foreign key to another.

Then there are the default string settings....

Agree with you on crappy devs essentially doing NoSQL in the application layer though. I am starting to hate this industry, where chasing the new trend is becoming more valuable than learning to do things well.
The housing market is flooded with buyers right now, all-cash offers and waived inspections. It's obvious to me that most buyers don't realize the risks associated with their investment, don't understand how to monetize them against rents from long-term buyers, and are just generally thinking emotionally and irrationally. Terrible market to buy in if you don't like spending the rest of your life paying off a money pit, unless you're somewhere like Cleveland where there's a lot of decent supply and less demand (I saw some pretty solid houses there for ~50k).

Good general rule of thumb is your cost of housing shouldn't exceed 30% of your income.
The advantage of the UK's take on stock options is the tax man wont try on tax you on money you never had and their is much less opportunity to get screwed out of stock - you must get the same stock - multi class share listings are not looked on kindly and can get you kicked of the UK indices.

You are correct that there are cases where the nuances make it impossible to have one be "superior" to another, and I'm not arguing otherwise.

That does not mean that some systems can't be objectively worse than a collection of others. I also never brought up costs - healthcare outcomes matter, because...health.

I never made it a quest for superiority - I insisted that everyone participating in a discussion should be in a place where they CAN be convinced of some points - arguing from a place of facts, not unshakeable emotion.

To do otherwise is unhealthy for discussion.

I was about to comment about how it took me several reads and then finally reading the "compound commands" section of `BASH(1)` to recognize the use of `(` vs `{` in the examples. That distinction should have been made clear in the example IMO.
It's not innuendo when you consider the inherent problems with benchmarks. Once you have an algorithm, it's so hard to define what an objective benchmark is that you should assume the implementation is cheating, even if you wrote it.

I say this from personal experience; in one case I was doing timing studies to solve performance problems, and wound up fooling myself by measuring the wrong thing!

In this case, is it fair to use SIMD intrinsics? It depends on what you're trying to measure. I think that's why "cheating" is in scare quotes, because what would be cheating in one context might be useful information in another.

For instance, if C++ is providing SIMD intrinsics, it's going to beat other languages, and if I just want current performance statistics, that's the question I want to answer.

If the question is, "what's the overall quality of the code delivered by the compiler / optimizer" then using specific tricks doesn't give me a good answer.

i agree that the taste and texture are similar to eating a meat hamburger. but, i just hope these companies (Impossible Burger, Beyond Burger, et al) can bring down the price.

The author of the famous natural farming manifesto The One-Straw Revolution[0], Masanobu Fukuoka[1], was a microbiologist assigned by the Japanese army to evaluate the edibility of various insects encountered by the army as they spread across Southeast Asia.

I tried a cricket burger recently at the F&A Next[2] event at Wageningen, Europe's pre-eminent agricultural university[1], which may have even been sourced from the farm in this article. While the taste was OK, I literally woke up early in the morning with stomach pain.

I knew a comet is not a meteorite, I just had the question lingering around in my head and was waiting for a tangentially related topic to pop up on HN, in the hopes that someone who knows would answer if or if not ever the spectrum of a shooting star aerobraking had been measured.

I ask because the composition of what remains lumped together, and the actual physical finds of remains may not be representative of the bulk mass originally entering the atmosphere.

So has distribution of optical spectra of shooting stars been measured? (this seems hard to me because one would need accurate tracking before it enters in order to aim the telescope+spectrometer in the right direction for the short duration it passes the atmosphere)

The reason I ask is because I have an idea on how to try detecting very faint objects, which may nevertheless be dangerous as rare impacts, or valuable if it turns out the material would be valuable in bulk before it evaporates in the atmosphere..

Actually that's kinda interesting.

Instead of recognizing the lights or something you could create a communication of some sort where the officer's vehicle provides a key that the car can then authenticate that it's a real police officer making the pull over request.

Heck you could even check with a police department system that the officer is on duty and in that area so a stolen police car or key couldn't be used.

Nitpick: although the linked page states that defining functions as
compund commands is a `bash` feature, it is actually in the POSIX `sh`
standard [1] so it should work with any POSIX-compliant shell.

[1]: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/V3...

That said, I'm curious what are the nifty tricks that one can do by
using functions as "aliases" for compound commands -- I cannot see
much of a difference between `function sleep1 () { while true; do "$@";
sleep 1; done; }` and the similar definition without the curly braces.
Only once in my life I have had to use the `function foo () ( ... )`
syntax (i.e., using subshell instead of normal `{ ... }` grouping).

Read the contract if you can. I guarantee that they have not put down a billion dollars for all those cars. This isn't like ordering from Amazon. This is a complicated delivery contract. It will have stages. Money will be owed according to a schedule. If things don't work out, there will be many places where delivery can be delayed or the order canceled. Waymo has to have a plan to pay for this in the long run, but they aren't today putting down all the cash.

If you are buying 10,000 cars, what you are essentially doing is taking on that car manufacturer as a partner. You are betting that you will need the cars, and they are bettering that you will be around to pay for them. Everything remains speculative.
"How much is an office and a good developer in a big city in China?"

I have worked with good crews in China before. You are looking at 8k USD per month for a solid chinese team member. Anything less than that - you will get into language issues, skill breakdowns or copyright theft. You need to factor in extra project management costs (it is more complex than managing a us based project) and time loss due to timezone delays. Ironically, if you add in the location factors good chinese crews cost about the same as a US based worker.
I wanted to write about how the article misses the point of the argument of putting free speech above other rights, but then I look at the website post history and turns out this is a right-wing rag, with greatest hits from a guy who quit LLVM because the project adopted Code of Conduct, odes to James Damore, and all the explanation about why women don't code except of all of the obcious systemic issues.

> the Wildlife Conservation Act, put in place in 2013, carries a life sentence or fine of $200,000 for offenders; however, the sentences weren’t acting as a strong enough deterrence.

Clearly, a life sentence is an extremely strong deterrent. You will not gain significant deterrence from capital punishment, people that are committing the crime clearly don't expect to be caught. Or they have such desperate circumstances so as to completely skew their risk/reward perception - case in which capital punishment can even be seen as immoral.

Therefore, attention should be focused on properly enforcing the existing law, making sure the fines are applied in addition to strong prison sentences, going after the ring leaders, their profits and cronies in office, etcetera.

You cannot fake a working judicial system with political theater and draconian sentences applied only to those poor enough to get caught.
The problem with the death penalty is that sooner or later, someone innocent might get killed.

The post was clearer than the website, but not 100% crystal clear. It leaves some wiggle room for creative interpretation.

You might just go with property or A/B test it. Insurance industry terms are often confusing, even for industry insiders.

When I paid accident claims, we went round and round as to what the best term was for the health care provider in question. "Provider" was the gold standard, but both customers and employees found that so vague as to be meaningless.

"Life" claims actually meant "death" claims. It's when someone dies and you file a claim on your life insurance policy. (eyes cross)

So you will need to maybe get with whomever your legal advisors are and whomever your marketing advisors are and find a term that both can accept.
