I don't think anyone in aerospace expects Boom / Aerion / Spike etc to actually deliver. More likely they're positioning for acquihire.

I really like this.

A while ago I was prepping for programming interviews and thought it would be fun to make some videos demonstrating some programming concepts [1] due to my perception that there was a lack of material linking code with visualization/conceptual understanding. It wasn't long, though, before I stumbled upon a website [2] that had many videos that did just that, so I got a bit discouraged and gave up.

Around this time, I was also watching videos on algorithms [3]. After watching many videos where the professors give very thoughtful hand-drawn examples, I became convinced that the hard part is truly understanding the algorithm/data structure and that the code is the "easy" part. Maybe that's just my bias talking because I was a computer science major, though.

I still think that documenting a codebase with GIFs and video demonstrations is really useful. I get kind of sad when I visit a github repo and there are none of these because it can be hard to get a sense for what the code does (even a screenshot goes a really long way). For example, I think [4] did a really good job and I modeled a recent project's github README after it.

I developed such a service some time ago, but it's impossible to find any market for it. The non-technical people say "but I have it on Google already?!" and the technical people say "I just created a DO droplet and configured backup to Backblaze, easy and cheap!!".

I find both options to be not ideal, since I'd like a simple, secure and safe way of storing my pictures. But that's the way the market is.
I find it hard to get worked up about it. You can just hand around a Supplier of your stream if you need restarting. Monadic composition of further operations is a bit clumsier then, but it's still very doable.
There's no silver bullet replacement for the Google ecosystem. However there are plenty of choices for many important services such as Email, file/ photo storage, contacts / calendars, etc. You just gotta take the plunge!
The thing that galled me was that the link I was originally following was to an image. That's a little bit of a deal breaker.
Counterpoint: I joined a company in a senior role and had a private office. I started getting more and more depressed about life and thought it was the company. I was planning on quitting when due to a hazardous condition in the building we all had to move to a new building into open space temporarily. I loved it and now work by choice in open space.
Makes sense - I just made this up. I originally saw the image on reddit and made up the backstory. I think the original origin is relating to this man needing a passport for medical care and them only having on hand this image of him.
Very interesting. Could you point to any reading (hopefully online)?
I think that those "Google gives xyz access to your emails" headlines are part of a bigger trend.

Somehow perception changed and now having the ability to actually use and treat data self-responsible as an individual is a bad thing?

I can understand that this makes everything saver for people with little technical ability, but it also strongly limits capacity for those who actually know how to use their tools.

I fear that soon everything is as cluncy and non-commital as a mobile os.
They're the clowns paying for sex, they can have all the delusions they need as far as I'm concerned.
How the SEC could target Facebook
Surely in the past, even at seemingly boring engineering companies. You used to hear about all kinds of stuff going on in the office. People getting blackout drunk at company Christmas parties, drugs in the restroom, co-workers banging each other in the conference rooms.. then all of a sudden, you didn’t hear about it anymore. Whoosh, it was gone! I entered the workplace as this stuff seemed to be dying down and just missed the party. Like jumping into the ocean just as the unstoppable crushing wave of political correctness slammed ashore, washing away the shenanigans and leaving only sterile, gray, cubicles, thicker “code of conduct” books, and HR helplines. Maybe it’s for the better. Things are obviously much more inclusive for professional women and non-drinkers/smokers, which is good. But at the same time I think we lost something.

Apart from water and electronics don't mix. Think how easy it would be to sabotage an underwater data centre, you only need a single hole and let the ocean do the rest. Not to mention the maintenance nightmare of getting in and out of the place. The risks outweigh the benefits.
I've tried to dictate blog posts on many occasions, and there seems to be something weird about my brain (and a fairly large number of other people I've mentioned this to) that means I can't think creatively and speak at the same time. I suspect this means I wouldn't be able to dictate code either.

All this energy wasted mining a virtual currency that no one uses.

We have to ask ourselves: is Bitcoin mining really the best use of our resources? Is it worth adding to our already engorged carbon footprints?
I talked to Duplex, Google’s scarily human AI voice
I was raised under a similar thought process, had zero chores in general among other "freedoms", my mom in particular cleaned up my every mess. It left me with vast problems regarding organization and discipline well past college, that I'm only really now getting over at age 30. Sure there is such a thing as oppressive amounts of structure, but rest assured my kids will have reasonable chores and a strong reinforcement of "when you're done with something, put it back where you found it". Imagination should be encouraged, but not at the the expense of execution. Good ideas are cheap, it's the ability to implement them that really makes a difference.

This is pretty much the same attitude that will keep Bitcoin out of the mainstream.

GPA is a totally useless metric, if for no other reason, then because it's a well documented fact that while some schools give out high grades for just showing up and applying some minute effort, others require an ass-busting amount of work just to register around average grades.
> the sudden displacement of water resulted in a megatsunami that washed out trees to a maximum elevation of 520 metres

That reads to me that it ran uphill to an altitude of 520 metres, rather than that the wave itself was a 520m tall wall of water.
The problem is the definition of commercial use.

A German court ruled a few years back that use of a creative commons image by a non-profit publically funded television station was "commercial use" with the argumentation that "had the CC-NC image not existed they would have had to license an image and pay for it". Another German court ruling decided that a personal blog containing any sort of advertising qualifies as "commercial use" (in the context of the exemption from making the operator contact information visible on websites operated for personal use). The definition of commercial use is not clear-cut and definitely not in line with US rulings. This is why Art11 is a significant increase in reach. Small organizations and nonprofits operating mailing lists with a web interface would now have to screen all messages to make sure nobody quotes a news snippet. Same with forums and such. And of course it would shut down wikinews (wikipedia is explicitly and narrowly excluded, other wikimedia projects are not) and other user-operated news agregators where users are likely to quote parts of articles.
I meant "not a biz person", instead of 'now a biz person', but I can't edit the original posting.
It's great that you have documented this process, especially the failures section, not enough people do this in my opinion. However, it really annoys me when people make these blog style posts on GitHub. Sorry OP, I for one disapprove.

Some of the reggae music is also very “religious” to the point where lyrics are quotes from bible or straight up Psalms with little bit of rewording. Specifically “Uk roots” Soundsystem scene could be attributed to be very close to Rastafari worshipping due to lyrics of the songs, chanting of mc and how music is played which sets the tone of the dance. Of course a lot of people are just in to it for the vibes but it’s still really hard to not make a comparison.
Another problem I have with crypto is how elitist it all is, especially for an instrument with rather libertarian, even anarchist roots.

Mining BTC requires exceptional investment, which basically makes it feasible only for the rich.

Understanding BTC requires technical knowledge 99% of the world does not have.

Heck, with all the regulatory hurdles, even using BTC requires more effort than most people have the time to expend.

(Yes, you can transfer BTC from one wallet to another fairly easily. But turning that BTC into actually useful local currency can be ridiculously complicated, depending on your local laws.)
This is a directive not a regulation - each EU member state gets to decide that.
> In the engineering/academic world, grades do matter and are highly predictive of ability.

Or rather, they would matter if:

- Various different schools used the same standard for grading so that grades could be even compared across candidates

- There were companies that actually care about GPA when hiring, I've never encountered one

Actually, cheating involves lying. A spouse is explicitly or at least implicitly expecting the other part no to lie about extra relations. If lying about those extra relations in this context doesn't makes you a bad person, then I don't know what is.

Show HN: Graphs of how species are related with names
Let's talk about sleep
I find it hard to imagine most social norms, and much of what we consider to be good/bad behavior, is reliant on what we're "wired" towards; influenced by, sure, but I would imagine most of it is along the lines of "regardless of human nature, this is the way we should operate". Respecting monogamy, at least in America, is one of those things: regardless of how we naturally would like to behave, we are expected to (and promise to) respect the sanctity of marriage. That one fails to is not excused by our wiring; we obviously should be capable of exceeding that. It is, supposedly, one of those abilities that make humans as a species notable.

And if we go to an extreme, that you operate solely on your wiring and nothing else... well, you're hardly a modern human at that point.

Is there such a thing as astrodynamics? Since there's mostly vacuum in space, can't you have whatever shape you want?
Completely agree. This is a common problem with object-oriented code bases. You've got hundreds of 20 line source files and the only way to decipher them is to trace the execution all the way from main() down to the last util class.
Bluntly, yes.
The error messages from LaTeX are intended to be parsed by a machine. They aren't meant to be the first stop.

If we want to compare it to other compilers, LaTeX outputs similar error messages to C++, that is, it gives you the error tree, not an error message.

It's output isn't meant to be the final stop for the user. It's one stop short.
This is just how long it took to get it through the pipeline. It was implemented first on a national level in Germany and Spain (with disastrous results - basically the publishers decided that it wasn't worth it for them to try to extract license fees because search engines started blocking them instead and in the end the German constitutional court ruled the law unconstitutional) so now they're attempting to get it in on a level where it's harder to remove because it needs international collaboration to do so. The downside for them is that it also needs international collaboration to enact, and thus we have more chances to prevent it at the european parliament level.

So do the right thing, call every MEP from your country that isn't an EPP member and ask them to a) be there at the vote (this is CRITICAL attendance really matters) and b) vote to allow changes to the law (tomorrow's vote is about whether the law continues to the next stage unchanged or whether changes are allowed - it's not about accepting or rejecting the law in general, just in its current form)

Personally it was something I had to learn. Like I imagine it's harder to type creatively when you need to look at the keyboard for a few seconds to find each letter. I think your brain is doing something similar when you're searching for commands and trying to mentally model the dictation system to get the right words out.
And it's very telling, regarding the quality of journalism nowadays, that the battlefield has moved to fighting over who gets to monetize headlines pointing to content that's too shitty for people to click through to.

Regarding links that people actually click on, the current situation is that it'll take users to the publishers' websites, where the publisher monetizes it through advertising. Nothing wrong with that.

But, apparently, that's not enough. Because the state of journalism has been reduced to providing headlines that make people go "...naaaah. not worth it."

At the same time, the way they lobbied for this law was based on the notion that media companies don't get adequately rewarded for the bang-up job that they're doing, creating all this high-quality and highly original content.
That really depends on the employer. One large US employer I know of (Cisco) offers full salary for something like five or six months, and also offers grandparent leave.

You don't refactor "a big application". You refactor bits of it (sure it might mean moving things around) and then comes your barrage of tests before you merge that into master.

That and: You don't (or at least shouldn't) write a big application anymore. The only other thing (other than horizontal scaling, that is) that microservice design makes easier is exactly code maintainance / refactoring. The practices around it have matured enough.

On the other topic: I've spent last year or so writing mostly JavaScript, and have moved to VS Code as my primary IDE. I'm pretty happy (was doing Java/Python before that, and PHP/Python before that, and some embedded stuff before that).

The truth is that a good tool (and VS Code is one hell of a tool) makes working in a dynamic language very usable. VSCode static analysis tools make my JS experience better than my previous NetBeans Java experience, all things considered.

And I'm now dabbling with TypeScript to see how that goes. I quite like the idea of "just enough typing" and I think type-hinting rather than static typing is the way forward in this networked future. It's simply that these JSON-ed distributed environment people work in now will make static typing languages frustratingly un-agile for large majority of use-cases.

A Business Class ticket on an international route is incomparably luxurious compared to anything you could purchase in the 1960s. And some of the First Class products take it to the next level. That's before you take into account the safety, time-saving, and cabin-pressure differences.
Yes the development experience is unfortunately a problem for all the optimizing Ruby runtimes. TruffleRuby with its SubstrateVM precompiling improves this situation quite a bit for trivial commands, but still takes longer than CRuby to boot any large application (e.g. Rails). I have plans to try to improve startup in JRuby using some new AOT compilation and code caching features of Java 10.
