I don’t make any claims about this mystery or try to deal with it in any pseudoscientific way. My stance is something like: empirical science is the functioning mode of investigating and predicting the patterns of observable reality, and there’s no other way of objective inquiry, but there are limits to objective inquiry and it’s proper to say that the existence of the objective and subjective reality is fundamentally mysterious while acknowledging that there is no point to “mysticism” beyond amusement or aesthetic inspiration in the form of awe. The regularity of physical law is also a mystery.
Heh I was thinking that > 1TiB of data in an sqlite db is a bad idea :).

>> I mean one way to do it properly is to actually listen to your users. So many corporations claim to have that as a priority and when you look at real, actual feedback, they really don't. How hard is it to look at the masses of complaints about autoplay or notification spam or... any numbers of dark patterns you could name and decide that you shouldn't do that?

> Corporations have no priority except to make money. If making money is at odds with positive user experience (which is almost always is), making money wins.

That attitude has a similar problem: socialism has been gaining in popularity, and I'd say that's a direct result of corporations over-prioritizing their money-making over both customer priorities and other social priorities (like paying reasonable amount of tax).

Evacuation isn't a problem at all. This is what happens to a failing vacuum tube.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0N17tEW_WEU

(note that the hyperloop will be a significantly higher vacuum. There would actually be little point in depressurizing a pipe to the level shown in the video. I hear this was done on mythbusters as well)

I think you'll agree after seeing the video: attempts to let people get out of that ... there's just no point. They'll be folded into an accordion before you can say cappuccino. Literally. Failures will propagate along such a pipe at close to the speed of sound. You wouldn't get through the first "c" of cappuccino.

You should restate the problem: the problem is the same as with trailer vs car crashes: pulling the various flattened and crushed together pieces of different people apart in a way that you'd be reasonably certain the right liter of goop recovered goes into the right casket, ideally with as little pieces of the pipe in there with them as possible.

An extra issue is that every way you might recover also fails given the forces involved. Let's say you let air in ? Well that's going to form a wall of air that'll hit with a speed, force and acceleration that is guaranteed to kill every passenger, just from the acceleration. More likely that too will fold them into an accordion.

This problem is like attempting to keep a plane intact during a crash. It can't be done, and even if you should succeed, there's no point: everyone inside will be dead from the acceleration.

The central directory is a great feature of zip. Makes it easy to append to and to list the files or decompress individual files without decompressing the entire archive.

The actual horrible thing about zip is that there is no standard whatsoever for the encoding of filenames. So mangled filenames are common and most utilities don't even let you manually select the encoding if you know what it is.
We also maintain very high pressure pipelines over even longer distances. So, that part is really not a huge leap.

High vacuum like the LHC would be hard, but that’s vast overkill. Even the equivalent of just 100,000 feet would be enough for super sonic trains.

Surely I am dating myself, but pre 1994 SAT tests were said to be better.

Total SAT (math and verbal scores), divided by 10,were supposed to be close to the measured iq.

FWIW my SAT divided by 10 was within two points of my mother's IQ testing from decades before.

They can play equally well, it just will not sound as good. Long time sax player here.
Can we just get trains even half as good as in Japan here in the US. A high speed train (not hyperloop speeds) connecting the east coast cities together all the way down to Miami, for example would be huge. Doing Boston to DC in just ~3 hours would be amazing. And would beat the airports easily.

Maybe in hindsight I'll be eating my words when they figure out how to actually build these hyper loops and we will all be traveling really fast with them, but I'm a bit more skeptical than that, and a good solution seems to exist already.

(a) The "equilateral" triangles on the intro page aren't.
(b) It goes downhill from there; the basic point being made is sound, but it's quite misleading to consider a single paragraph in isolation, rather than a full column of text. The right judgements for one are not the right choices for the other.

Your knowledge of early machine guns needs some work. They weren’t belt fed, but rather spring and crank run, more commonly box magazine fed than belted/linked where the spring mechanism was in the magazine. The early rotory/Gatling style guns were tube fed. Machine guns werent as common during WWI as you may think, and this had nothing to do with “snipers” or obviousness of machine gun placements.

The point that no one man builds everything is fine - except people like Samuel Colt, Eugene Stoner and John Moses Browning were amazing inventors who did single handedly change their industries, and I think fit the definition of “single inventors” even if they weren’t smokeless powder chemists.
So currently there are two dominant iOS apps for handwritten notes: GoodNotes[1] and Notability[2]. They have much more features in common than they do that are different but there's enough differences that some have strong feelings one way or another.

Neither app can recognize math unfortunately (sounds like a very hard thing to support!) but both recognize handwriting. Notability in my opinion has a much more pretty UI and has infinite scrolling (scrolling down to the bottom of a page just brings you continuously onto the next page).

On the other hand, GoodNotes has

* More levels of folder nesting, a feature one only truly appreciates after a few years of collecting daily notes.

* More control over the 'background' of your note. You can upload whatever PDF you want, with whatever proportions and use it as your 'paper', and you can have notes where the background paper changes from page to page

* Inking that I like a bit more. It's less pressure sensitive than Notability is which I think makes my writing look a bit more uniform. This one is completely up to taste.

There's more to the differences but if you decide on an iPad I'd recommend getting both apps and seeing which you prefer. I started with Notability and switched after 4 years. I like both but find GoodNotes works better for me these days. They're relatively cheap (cheaper than nice a physical notebook) and both allow for a variety of cloud storage options which is great. I can't recommend an iPad Pro enough for anyone who does a lot of math with pen and paper.

> nothing behind this style NAT can receive unsolicited traffic

This isn't really 100% true though. Since IPv4 NAT was never standardized, many many variations exist in the wild and some can be exploited to send unsolicited traffic inside the network defeating the implicit "firewall" aspect of NAT.

NAT translates IPs. Firewalls allow or block traffic based on a policy. In some configurations (static NAT, port forwarding, etc. etc.), there's no firewall aspect to NAT at all. In others (PAT, what this discussion is mostly about), there's often an implicit firewall, but different implementations have widely variable behavior, and it basically should not be depended on as a firewall.

If you want to deny inbound unsolicited traffic, then you need a firewall.

Recovering Nintendo’s Lost SimCity for the NES
Ask HN: How did you do with your 2018 resolutions?
Resolutions if taken in the right spirit could help.

I had decided on the following three goals for 2018:

- Run 3 times a week. I was 30% successful at this. I dropped the ball during a time period when I switched jobs. Not only that, I still don't have a regular schedule but my stamina is better than before and I'll spill this one over to 2019.

- Read 26 books. I used to read a lot of books in school but in college and now in the tech world, it was sidelined and did miss it. I was more than 100% successful in this one. I read 20 books and listened to more than 25 audiobooks. Some friends recommend that I try out audiobooks and I thoroughly enjoy my commute.

- Get into flow stat as fast as possible. I failed at this miserably. I used to get a lot of focused time at the last job but the new one has an interrupt driven team. I realized this later than I should have (October). I've not been successful in making any progress yet but have some ideas and have started to test those out now. This is my brain giving an excuse but I have to accept that I failed.

An additional stretch goal towards which I made some progress was start learning a new language. This was one of "In 5 years I want to". I have started learning Spanish and I'm in early stages but I've got my habit in place.

I'd love to know how others did with their resolutions and what they learned about themselves more.

For me there is definitely a bit of a "hype gap" for most shows on Netflix and those previews make it a bit smaller. A title and some random faces just don't get me interested in anything. I remember actually wishing for trailers on more than one occasion.

Why would a developer remove critical code. You have tests for them... right? Your design doc, code comments, and function call paths in the code all point to why the code is needed. And if you can remove it without breaking anything, then it wasn't needed in the first place.

I think the idea is ok, but the defaults are poor for many people.

The idea is I just restarted this thing so many times, it's clearly not going to start properly, we need a bigger restart. Up to restarting the whole VM, Erlang ships with heartd to automatically restart the VM, but not a lot of people use that either.

This works ok if all the software running on a node is deeply related, and the normal startup time is more than the escalation threshold. Then it can catch things like bad code push -> instafail. But that doesn't match my environment very well, and it's easy to accidentally trigger.

Another tricky thing is the let it crash mantra really needs to be moderated, crashing in a request handler often really should be caught to give an appropriate response to the requester, and may need to be caught so that other, independent, requests that have already been queued can be processed.

China Cracks Down on Churches
Love AOC. Finished all puzzles last year and the year before that. Used it as a way to learn Python (coming from C/MATLAB/R).

However this year I found the puzzles way too finicky, after about day 5-6. Was taking way too long to load the problem into my head.

Perhaps I had greater mental bandwidth in previous years, this year work + growing kids was top of mind.

I don’t mind problems that take a long time to think about, and/or take a long time to work through, trial and error, change approaches, etc.

What I do mind and what drove me away from AOC this year is that the problems seemed so detailed in ways that seemed arbitrary and ad-hoc, I didn’t have the motivation to spend the time required to load the problem into my head.
