I also love Factorio - it gets better when you play multiplayer and with mods.

I've found, getting back into it, that Project Euler really helps me 'just start coding'. Last time I got into it (around 2014) I would focus on trying to understand the mathematics and solving things by hand. Now I look at a problem or two every few days, and have fairly streamlined solving them.

Breaking the problem into chunks, making sure those chunks work with tests, gluing the chunks together to get the fact needed by the question, running with the specific input needed for the answer, realising the naive way I implemented the solution is way too slow, adding timing information, analysing the algorithmic complexity, reading pages and pages of mathematical theory...

Sometimes it goes off the deep end, but getting some result almost immediately is so useful.

It's the reason Factorio is fun (you can just build it by hand, most of the time) and Excel is used everywhere (you can see the algorithm and its results together, as you build it). It takes a bit of discipline to do yourself, when the gratification loop isn't built in to the tools you're using, and that's why I think Project Euler is so useful. You get short, achievable programming problems that you can solve quickly and build a habit of solving efficiently.
Why do cloud providers have more global outages than major flagship websites like google.com?
So there's an interesting context here. This isn't the first time there were a bunch of small rocket companies around. It'll be interesting to see if RL can cross the chasm.

In the past these companies have failed because they focused on providing a launch platform. They said, "Build it and they will come". But no one did, so good vehicles died.

But timing is (probably) different now. There are many more launches per year. And not only that, but there's a few paradigm shifts that could help RL out. Small sats are becoming much more common. Electronics got smaller and thus did the satellites. But also, we've been finding that you can use off the shelf electronics if you stay in LEO. Granted, you should use ECC CPUs and memory (but don't have to), but that's a lot cheaper than silicon on sapphire.

This makes things a little different. Before there was little pressure to push down the cost of a launch. If your satellite cost $250m, what's the difference in a few million per launch? And why would you risk that on a newer company? (Why Musk sent up his Tesla) BUT if your satellites are only a few hundred thousand dollars, then there's A LOT of pressure to push down launch costs. You can take more risks on these smaller companies that don't have a good (or any!) track record.

There's a lot more going on too. But I think these small companies have a much better chance of succeeding than their ancestors.
QUIC is a re-implementation of SCTP, an internet standard protocol. Google thinks it's better because they wrote it. Everyone else rolls their eyes.

UDP is the new IP. You can't practically have your users install an upgraded OS kernel with TCP rate control improvements, you can't fix queuing in their NAT gateway, and you can't get SCTP working through their ISP. So, you do it all in UDP. (Your servers can handle the streams in kernel or even accelerated by the NIC chip, or in a userspace IP stack e.g. DPDK.)
Cannibalizing Master's Programs
As someone who enjoyed listening to AM/MW/LW bands before the internet, this brings back a lot of memories. Back in those days the only way to “connect” to the world was by trying to tune to radio stations as far as away as possible. Not being able to understand the language wasn’t a problem, as long as you could hear something different and understand how different (but similar) we all are.
"One week later you receive another letter from the same firm, but this time they claim a different stock is about to drop in price. You go back to the first letter, and, lo and behold, they were right. The stock went up".

This is a definition of "right" with which I was previously unfamiliar.

> In a very indirect sense, it might cost more to employ street cleaners eventually if rent increases within a 30min-1h radius, but that's not in any reasonable sense linearly proportional to the value of a home in a specific area.

It's very direct: the same house 100 miles away into the wilderness will not be worth nearly the same. Its construction/capital value might be more fix to the cost of materials + labor, but the value of the land is very much related to what services and other externalities affect it.

In any case I'd agree that the tax shouldnt be on the value of the house, but on the value of the land it would be much more representative of the externalities.

It's Isaac Lidsky.
AFAIK the proposal for HTTP-over-QUIC was to race with a TCP connection. Similar to Happy Eyeballs for IPv4/IPv6 dual stacks (meaning we could end up with 4 connections attempts?).
It's easy to make an Intel CPU stay within the limits of a particular power supply and cooling system by setting PL1 and PL2 appropriately. It's a Heisenberg's uncertainty sort of situation. You can fix frequency and get variable power dissipation, or fix power and get variable frequency, but you can't really fix both at the same time.

Enthusiast users building desktop systems tend to massively over-provision both power supply and cooling anyways so it's usually not an issue.
Show HN: Point to add analytics event tracking
If I was a legislator in a major metropolitan area and a team threatened to leave, I would call bullshit on it. There’s a finite amount of major metro areas in the US (and an even a smaller subset if you remove all the ones that currently have sports teams), so there’s a limit to what’s economically viable if the potential attendance/sales revenue is coming from a dedicated local fanbase. For example, if the NY Jets ever threatened to become the Santa Fe Jets if taxpayers didn’t front a new stadium bill, I would go ahead and let them.
Writing tests seems to actually be the easy part.
Figuring out what to test is the hard part.

I recommend "Introduction to Probability" by Joseph K Blitzstein and Jessica Hwang.

This book is tough. Really tough. However, you are really going to do "deliberate practice" while having a go on the assignments.

It bothers me that the author does not provide the answer to most of the questions. This is specially bad in this field of Mathematics (Probability). As an example, in calculus you can always plot the curve, the derivative and see if the result makes sense, in probability theory it is hard to have a simple and safe sanity check.

You can watch all classes from Harvard here for free: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbB0FjPg0mw&list=PL2SOU6wwxB...

If you want, there is also a MOOC in EdX with the same material: https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-to-probability-0

Sheldon Ross' book is also a good one. It was mentioned here. I specially like the section on theoritical problems, only with exercises on proofs. Every chapter has one.
However, Joe Blitzstein problems are more challenging and will train you more on intuition.
Even an update of "no change" is tremendously valuable.
Correct, but quite a few AWS services are built on S3, and some apparently weren't using buckets per region.
Any ideas how to get involved in projects like this?
That's just BS. (IETF) QUIC was developed from scratch by an IETF working group. Google submitted its (Google) QUIC version as input, however the IETF version is not directly based on it.

It is addressed above:

> This effect didn't happen with in the TCP world, since most applications don't run with enough privileges to speak TCP without the kernel's involvement.

The argument is that while kernel developers wouldn't start this supposed "arms race", but application developers would.

I think we would have seen this already with things like (m)uTP if it was an issue.
> Parochial, small-minded, cliquey people, all the money is in construction and farming rather than tech, poor range of jobs, low wages, and relatively expensive real estate

It's funny that you moved to Australia and complain that NZ is parochial and small minded. I've found Australia to be even worse, although Sydney and Melbourne are large enough that you can self select into groups of people where you avoid that. Australia is multicultural, sure, but not in an inclusionary way. When was the last time New Zealand had race riots?

Real estate in Melbourne and Sydney aren't exactly affordable either, unless you enjoy a 1 hour commute each direction daily.

Australia has great pay, and Melbourne and Sydney are great for the big city life if that's what you enjoy (which I do). Remember as well that if you're a New Zealand citizen in Australia you're essentially treated as a guest worker, you get minimal government benefits, regardless of how long you've lived here, and technically your visa is subject to cancelation at any time (although if you're not a criminal that's not a particular issue).
I understood his point to be, to reject the notion that it was really a mass suicide, but instead he argues it was a mass murder with only a minority willingly committing suicide. Its obviously an understandable viewpoint, the idea that of course you can't possibly make hundreds of people kill themselves willingly, that this would be impossible, but to me it seems more like a denial of human nature that is actually unhelpful in preventing those types of atrocities in the future. Its much more beneficial to try to understand how far the human mind can be twisted by blind faith, for even good people to do incredibly horrific things.

(Of course its proven that there was murder involved, but I still think we should recognize it as the mass suicide it was).
I just find it really inspiring to know we have the presence of such adventurous explorers. Once we find ways to travel to other stars, we'll need these men to explore once again.

>> humans could never farm this way because harvesters just chop everything down at once

Really? You think a mechanical harvester cannot be built that could handle two types of plants at once? Forget deep learning and imaging technology. Plant alternating rows and build a harvester to accommodate, straddle, one while working the other. No fancy vision tech needed.
Since you're going for 3d print level accuracy, and appear to be targeting PLA or ABS, I wonder if approximation of the Booleans by tessellation and then using a BSP tree wouldn't be even faster and use much less memory.

In the US, you can deduct your mortgage interest and pocket 100% of your profit upon sale. In a place like California with property tax assessments frozen upon purchase, the explosion of housing prices is pure tax-free upside. You don’t get that kind of deal from stocks or bonds. So people pay more
than they otherwise would for houses, and are more incentivized than they otherwise would be to keep housing prices high. As a side effect, municipal tax revenues don’t scale with the now-inflated costs of provisioning municipal services.

My larger point is that either a) your house is an investment, so your returns come with social responsibilities, or b) your house is not an investment, so you’re not entitled to returns beyond having a place to live. The current regime, where you can make tax-free millions for being in the right place at the right time, is not a good one.
Chinese sellers are often unscrupulous and liars. Louis Rossmann instructed the sellers to remove the logo and they did not, as they could not care less about spending effort doing what the customers wants since it means they won't make more money.

It’s called transfer learning. The base layers of a model trained on imagenet are general enough that they’re helpful for the specific task of processing plants. The benefit is imagenet has much more training data which is why you’d train on that first and then fine-tune the model with your specific data. Fast.ai is a great beginner friendly resource.
This post might be some sneaky marketing for whatever it is OP is promoting in its profile.

This is the second random Show HN post in three days under this profile.
True, but after a certain point size doesn't matter for the visitor. I can see only a small fraction of the Met in any visit; IIRC a prior director said he couldn't see the entire collection, including the majority which is not on display at any one time, in his lifetime. If the Met grows, it doesn't change the size from my perspective.

If you are interested in specific individual collections then size might matter; if you are interested in Polynesian art, then possibly you could exhaust the Met's or Chicago's collections (I don't know).

But in some respects the two museums are the same size. And to go off on a tangent, I now find that I gain much more by spending a long time, maybe 30 minutes each, with a few works of art, rather than spending a few minutes each with 100 works. So for me, a museum with 10 great (IMHO) works would be plenty big, and better than a museum with 100,000 works that I have to sort through or walk past to find the ones I'm interested in. (Though the odds that the 10-piece museum would have what I want are a bit longer.)

Fragmentation by the IP layer is very unreliable in today's internet. I've seen plenty of consumer routers that throw away the whole datagram if a fragment arrives out-of-order, and who knows what kind of hell corporate middleboxes and other similar systems do to them. Pretty much every protocol these days goes to great lengths to avoid upper level fragmentation.

Nice. Sell them on a vision. Of course, why didn’t I think of that!
Indeed.

The announcement and the mundanity of the finalist cities was pretty shitty to all the smaller towns Amazon insinuated could be in the running.

I live in on the finalist cities, but I also have good friends in a nearby regional hub who made a good faith effort.

It would have been one thing to tell them "We didn't select you." It's something different to say "We're still considering cities, but definitely not yours."
If you're new to making circuit boards, I highly recommend giving KiCad a try, for drawing your schematic and board layout. It's open source, and while there are some rough edges, it seems to be built on a good foundation and there's been lots of good work being done on it lately. The learning curve isn't too steep, as these things go, but you're not likely to be limited it anytime soon, if ever.

I think you've really hit the nail on the head there. I also grew up in New Zealand and left for Australia for the reasons that you specified. Cost of living is the same or higher than Australia, but with lower wages. My grocery bill is almost half of what it was in New Zealand, my rent is about the same, and my salary is double what it was back home.

New Zealand is a great country if you want what it offers. If I did want to settle down and raise a family I'd sail back across the ditch in a heartbeat.
Yep - If all my competitors are down the equation changes such that I _definitely_ want to be up.

>> Robots can run from solar/bio energy generated locally at the farm.

If the robots are going to harvest the same amount of product, they are going to need at least similar amounts of power to today's machines. If they are airborne, and doing fancy AI things too, they will need far more power for every ton harvested. However it is harvested, by hand or by flying drone, the same weight of fruit has to make it from field to barn.
Experience. I was in the role of the teenager.

Yes, some jokes were okay, especially the toothless ones. Like, making a joke about being poorer or having worse quality of products than the West was relatively safer than making a joke about party members killing each other or hurting random people.

It also depended on who could hear you, and what kind of a job your parents had. The better job, the greater risk of losing your job for saying wrong stuff.

Also, "speak quite freely at home" is more than just jokes. I am pretty sure most people would not feel safe discussing The Gulag Archipelago at home.

> An iPad would struggle to do one of these at a time let alone all of them at once.

You haven’t touched a modern iPad, have you? Not only do they not ‘struggle’ to do one of those at a time, they’re butter smooth at it. The workflow/task juggling aspect is definitely an issue, but there is nothing preventing an A10x or A12x iPad from doing any of those things with all the performance you’d expect from a $3k+ MacBook Pro.
I don't think so - because these larger countries have organized systems in place to bring people over. Something small countries can't benefit from.

It's certainly possible to build such a machine. But it would be more mechanically complex and expensive to build and operate than existing harvesters. And it would be locked into two specific crops which might not be the combination that farmers want next year. It's hard to see how machinery like that could ever be economically viable.
Wouldn't be surprised if someone has determined the cause and just hasn't publicized it.. There were some comments on an older ars technica article which I thought made a pretty good case for EM.

When I around 12 years old I attempted to etch my first circuit board. I took my copper clad board, placed it in a pie tin and then proceeded to pour in the etching acid. Within seconds, the acid reacted violently with tin and dissolved through the bottom of the pan and spilled all over the table saw and garage floor where I was working.
