> How does higher velocity hurt marksman rifles?

It doesn't hurt it directly, but it's a trade-off between velocity and weight, which affects ballistic coefficient (heavier bullet in the same caliber -> higher sectional density -> higher BC). And the longer the distance, the more BC matters, because it affects the bullet for as long as it's in flight, while the initial muzzle velocity boost from a lighter bullet is one-off. Past a certain range, the lighter bullet that was initially faster will end up slower, all else being equal.

You can drive heavier bullets faster with more case capacity for the powder. But if you have a larger case, you can use it to seat a longer/heavier higher-BC bullet instead of putting in more powder, so it doesn't really change the equation.
That reminds me of QuakeWorld's proxy servers.

You are right.

it is super cute though, I still get excited every time I try the registration flow.

the registration api is quite easy (https://baxx.dev/help/register)

curl -d '{"email":"your.email@example.com", "password":"mickey mouse"}' \

I will probably do make register.sh endpoint that returns a bash script that runs local dialog like:

(just idea, not implemented yet)

this will be fun, making portable tty dialogs :D
This is pretty worthless study. They are doing multiple comparisons without doing Bonferroni correction. Once you do that, there's no significant finding. On top of that, they have stupidly large 95% confidence intervals, their test metrics are pretty weak, and they only have blood levels of Hg of only a fraction of study participants. They seem to attempt to control for confounds, which is commendable, but with their sample being rather small, there's little hope of obtaining significant finding after controlling and correcting for multiple comparisons.

Controling for confounds here is the most important part really. It's like all the studies finding that people drinking wine have better health outcomes -- it turns out that wealthy people both are more likely to drink more wine, and have better health outcomes for reasons other than drinking wine. If you don't control for that, you'll find spurious associations.

I am breaking it down like this:

Technology creates new jobs but reduces the number of people and processes needed to do the same job.

Technology creates new value but reduces the value of the contribution humans make.

Technology creates new markets but shrinks the amount winners in those markets

Technology compresses, through digitalization, the number of steps involved in delivering products. (Music and movie industry to name two examples)

Technology increases your technical advantages but forces other competitors to do the same thus reducing the advantage of the individual until you own most of the market.

Globalization creates bigger markets and temporarily offsets the need for technology to provide a more cost-effective competitive advantage.

Outsourcing is the step before automation.

Technology keeps improving while humans don't.

The value added by the individual in a job function is mostly only a fraction of what the human is capable of doing.

Technology is really good at solving these simple tasks and are becoming better and better.

Ironically a cleaning lady will be out of a job much later than a radiologist is.

The jobs that are left for humans are low-value jobs and will be pushed down even more as more and more humans become available to the job market because technology renders them useless in other situations.
No it isn't. Glyophosate is broadspectrum herbicide for use with gmo glyophosate resistant crops only, there is no organic analogue to this. Also consider that the concentration used is much higher for glyophosate application and the reduced ability for it to be filtered from ground water creates additional externalities.

Though very few and far between at this point, I'd say there are still a few times a year when I explicitly need to swipe a magstripe on my credit card - most recently a rural gas station in the California desert where I was seriously dependent on being able to fill up a tank.

I think many people, myself included, would still consider a credit card without the option to fall back to magstripe a nonstarter for their primary physical payment method.
Contactless MasterCard was deployed sporadically in the US 15 years ago. Few stores had the readers and few banks issued the cards so it died due to lack of demand. It is questionable that Apple will carry enough influence to better that track record.

There's a great interview with Ellen Shell about this exact thing[0].

The argument is obvious in retrospect but, call me a dummy, I hadn't considered it until I heard it.

The act of automating is expensive, regardless of the work involved. You want a big return on investment. so You're going to automate the expensive, high-skill jobs first and work your way down. Radiologists, and financial analysts are expensive so we automate away their jobs.

If you want a decent paying job for the foreseeable future, become a plumber.

I worked for a company with around 750 people, considered better than any FANG, that had no managers. Moreover, everybody thought they wanted to do cool stuff and not do a manager (synonymous with uselessness). Internally ran like a bunch of startups. Extremely profitable. Multiple FANGs wanted to acquire it/destroy it.

Haven't worked in a better environment. Getting calls from recruiters from FB/Google about "exciting leadership opportunities" sounds like moving backwards and is as appealing as accepting a crappy job to survive. Half of the people who left to FB/Goog were back within a year. You have no idea how much better companies can be.

Recently during my university admission interview (3rd master degree) I mentioned to an interviewer that I turned down FB twice in the past 6 months and seeing their brain spinning, unable to understand why, was pretty funny... Not sure why people desire to work in such soulless environments with opaque army-like hierarchy.
In my company the potential to make more as manager is much greater than 25%. And you have the chance to move further up which is extremely rare for ICs.
I'm guessing the 'virtual' aspect of this card will be activated relatively soon - before the physical delivery of the new sleek metal card.

Evolution is stupid.

Evolution doesn't try to head towards any global optima, so it is quite believable that certain things just don't work a certain way even if they sound 'obvious' to rational beings.
Other things that can help:

* A national policy that actually encourages competition
> Also one that classifies 'the last mile' as public infrastructure to compete on top of.
* Fiber to the home/MDU (Ethernet the rest of the way)
* Where cable Internet must be used, the anti-buffer bloat parts of DOCSIS 3.1 (DOCSIS-PIE).
* Actually having peer to peer focused ISPs, not content consumption ones.
Upload should be no less than 25% of download; ideally symmetric.
* Better visibility in to peering between users
and actual effort applied to removing the bottlenecks.

The 2.5% cash back USAA Limitless card is not available for new applicants, but still works for existing holders. It is excellent. No international transaction fees, good exchange rates, works great with Apple Pay. If it ever becomes available for new applicants again, I recommend applying for it. Where else can you get risk-free instant 2.5% ROI? That's comparable to current rates for 1-year Certificates of Deposit.
> One of the benefits of Rust is that provides a lot of checks on concurrent code to prevent you doing stupid things

Well, here's the kicker. Nothing about rust forces you to use concurrency. Saying "Concurrency is bad, therefore rust is bad" makes no sense. There is nothing that forces you to spin off new threads in rust, just as there is nothing that forces you to spin off new threads in C.

In fact, it is pretty rich complaining about Rust's concurrency story while praising Go. A HUGE selling point to go was/is goroutines! The language was even given keywords for making concurrent actions!

No, you really can’t. That’s a library for symmetric cryptography. The key distribution/exchange problem cannot be solved with symmetric cryptography alone - unless you are acting as a trusted party and conveying the symmetric key - in which case you are not implementing end-to-end cryptography.

The answer is to accept it. Problems happens. We are dealing with systems that are inherently complex.

You can try to alleviate some problems but in the end this lack of communication is also what create the success. It allows for "slack". It build learning.

We have "incidents". This is good. This is where we can learn. What we need is to understand that and learn better.

> Any company that forces programmers to work in open-plan environments is either ignorant, or just doesn't care.

I'll agree with everything you stated but this as the terminology you use makes it sound malicious. Instead, I can imagine consulting firms with plenty of talking points convincing a decision-maker they were right. Furthermore, we cannot assume any particular environment will be optimal for all employees for all companies. "Productivity" was studied, but has branched into more concrete terms, rather than been solved. Even with a company that is open to helping improve conditions, what should they do, how long will the ROI take, etc.

While I accept the assumption of being more productive in an enclosed space, could you point me to a specific paper? Mostly because "productive" is not as well defined and is more a generalized term (respectfully, many terms can fall under the "productive" umbrella). I ask about the paper because a) I'd be curious to see how they define and measure productivity, and b) it may be beneficial for student learning (another knowledge-specific domain)
It’s a common way to retain people who have knowledge and enough people skills that are useful when the dev’s code may not be as good as it once was or thought to be. Personally often the differences come down to who’s is more passionate about coding and people’s interest wanes over time as the facination wares off. So less experienced devs don’t always produce better code but are just more ambitious about fixing it.

Also I don’t know why you got down voted, when much more flippant posts make it to the front page.
Nice. This is certainly handier than trying to catch a glimpse of the tail number before boarding and then navigate the FAA's registry website on my phone. I suspect many people don't even know the significance of that big number starting with N on the tails of most aircraft. However, I'd wager that most people boarding a plane know their flight number and the name of their carrier.

A good manager makes a bad team good, and a good team outstanding. A good manager is an enabler. A good manager makes individual programmers better, makes the team work better together, makes the work itself better. A good manager can have an incredibly positive effect on a group. Seen it myself.

Sure, sometimes a group has relatively simple tasks and doesn't have enough incompetents, prima donnas, social disaster zones or or straight up sociopaths to need a good manager, but given that a good manager can massively improve the output of a team, make everyone happier and make a company more profitable, it seems silly not to have a good manager.

In the interests of no passive-aggressive nonsense, I simply don't believe that you've never encountered a situation where a good manager can make things better, or never encountered a situation where somebody was managing things and in doing so making a positive difference. The odds against it seem astronomical; especially in a 750 personnel sized company.
My bizarre experience attempting and failing to get Apple to refund erroneous charges to my credit card has reinforced my perspective that companies of this scale cannot be trusted with operations outside of their core competencies, and that any financial product offerings from non-finance companies must be avoided like the plague (not to say that I'm any fan of fintech...). I cannot imagine how Apple's foray into financial products / business can result in anything other than the incorporation of all of the destructive incentives and bad behaviors that come along with big banks as the profits stack up over time. God help anyone who needs customer support from a giant tech company when some unclear policy document or bug leads to a financially-ruinous mistake being made on either end of the relationship. Prediction: the little people will be crushed and have no recourse, just like they are when Google closes their email accounts without warning.

In my case, Apple were attempting to charge me a monthly fee for an app that I installed last year before I ditched my iPhone. After using (and paying for) the app for a month, I realized I didn't like it and declined having a monthly subscription moving forward. After terminating my account with the app and uninstalling it Apple continued to charge me for it for months afterward. Repeated escalations in Apple's customer service labyrinth resulted in a massive amount of wasted time and, ultimately, an admission on their part that they didn't have a clear answer for what was happening or what I did wrong (one customer support person even told me that the same thing had happened to him once upon a time). Despite that, the relevant policy document they referred me to strictly prohibited me from being refunded for the erroneous charges. In the end, the only thing that saved me was being able to turn to my credit card company and flagging the months of charges as fraudulent. In this case I got all of my money back, but the experience really makes me wary of the idea of a big tech company being involved in my finances.
To point one: What's the objection here? You do something (like say, posting on HN instead of driving home from work) instead of doing the thing that you feel would be better for you. If you hadn't felt the 2nd option was better, either in the moment or in retrospect, then you wouldn't feel you procrastinated. You just did something. And the article isn't suggesting that being aware of it fixes it, it's saying that it has more to do with anxiety or other causes than simply not wanting to do something. It's trying to say WHY you're on HN instead of driving home.

2- What does your example prove here? The human mind almost always prioritizes immediate needs over future needs and has poor understanding of how to achieve long term goals. This is very well understood by psychologists and sociologists. It's part of why people find game theory so interesting. It's why people act against their own self interests. Saying "I want things in the future" doesn't GET you those things, so you haven't really proven that you're great at planning a future.

You are conflating the terms "possible" and "practical" :-)

There are communication technologies today that have made this more practical. 10 Gigabit microwave links are a thing these days.

That said, there are a lot of variables. Community gardens, barter systems, and others which once you open up the problem to the question "can a community be self sufficient" you get into village design.

> "Moving from dev to manager is NOT A PROMOTION. It's a CAREER CHANGE."

It's in the same field, and you're making a lot more money, and you have higher level responsibilities, and are maybe even working on the same team as before, right? That sounds exactly like a promotion to me.

As someone in another comment says, "In most companies unfortunately the only way to move higher in pay is the management route." This is treated by all involved as not only a promotion, but the only possible promotion.

I guess this pithy saying is meant to emphasize that you're no longer a developer, but that doesn't change the basic fact of what it is.
I don't know what the current state of affairs is, but this is something they have rightly delayed specing. The original borrow checking rules were quite byzantine compared to what we have today.

I don't know if there is active work going towards making them more relaxed (NLL landed I believe). However, a ton of work has happened to get them out of the way as much as possible.
