It's unlikely you'd be moving at max endurance speed if you're going for greatest range. Max lift to drag speed is probably higher, on the order of 70-120knots depending on altitude.
Not good ones.

Any study attempting to show or imply causation needs to control for confounding variables; this is statistics 101. Usually you do this with an aptly named control group.

If you don't have that control, you're left with "either my results are meaningful or else (very likely) there is a confounding factor." Great, that's not very useful.
That seems like a good way to keep the world the way it is, and not how we'd like it to be.

Thankfully, not everyone thinks as you do.
Which defines it this way, because various original Unix components (including things like stdio) will break in various surprising and inconsistent ways when text file does not end in \n or contains lines longer than some arbitrary limit (which is why POSIX has LINE_MAX).
Battery degradation is largely a matter of use + thermal management. Since cars have thermal control systems installed (unlike your phone), you should expect a car battery to last a lot longer than a cell phone does.
My point is more that a game's performance is not necessarily a reliable way to measure relative performance of the OS. What game was it?
I’ve never used it, but I use prelude. Is spacemacs better?
Most quantitative reviews on deplatforming and and other social moderation efforts have shown the opposite.

If certain vile people were still on YouTube, then they could be demolished by argument. By deplatforming people off YouTube, you actually manage to give the bad people moral ammunition (the people you'd think the least likely to achieve that) and reduce the legitimacy of the platform. What's been accomplished is merely to create even viler, even more insular groupthink.
I used Emacs for a couple of decades but switched over to VS Code after a couple of days of playing with it. I love Emacs and the concept of infinite configurability. But as it turns out, I don't actually use most of that flexibility. It's more common that I'll install a package, tweak a couple of knobs, and get on with work.

Well, VS Code offers the equivalents of all the Emacs packages that I actually use, and they come with sane defaults. Once I've tweaked the Python module a little bit, I tend to ignore its other options and get back to editing code. And in that code editing environment, I honestly prefer VS Code. The key bindings feel like other modern apps (yay for using the same Mac shortcuts for moving around that every thing else uses). Menus (and their shortcuts) work as expected. I don't have Emacs's beautiful macros, but I do have multi-cursor editing which is beautiful in a different way. It's fast. It looks pretty, with nice easier-to-install themes and icon packages. Basically, VS Code does everything that I ask of Emacs, but in a modern package.

I still love Emacs. I had switched to Sublime Text at one point but came back to the 'Macs because ST wasn't good enough to win me over permanently. And I definitely still love the idea that I can rewrite all of Emacs to make it my own personal slice of editing heaven that is optimized for me and me alone. That's wonderful! But now that there's an excellent, MIT-licensed, well supported alternative that doesn't everything that I want in practice, I'm sold.

But if MS ever loses the plot and ruins VS Code, I'll be back on Emacs in a heartbeat.

Not being able to leave if you work well and are done by 5 sucks no matter what. But can you do other things especially in the last 1/3 of the day when I assume people will be more tired? Or if you’re not really working, is your only real option to just lose that time entirely?
Consider the scaling factor for salaries; My salary is on the high end in my area, but would be on the low end of a living wage in the Bay Area.

My salary is in the neighborhood of 120k; I'm a senior-level engineer with almost a decade of experience, involved in some of the high-level planning tasks you describe.
Just hopped off my train but this is great. Thanks so much for the feedback. Especially about the focusing on goals Someone else in the post mentioned about life/work balance and this is crucial for me. Life's simply too short, haha.
i thought i'd learn something reading this, i did, but thank u for wasting my time.

basically, the 'west' is pissed off that Buddhism, Taoism, Zen, Confucianism none of these originated west of Greece. it suffers from a sort of not invented here syndrome. so its got to be bad right?

Silent teaching being the pinnacle of attainment of these isms could only lend kamikaze pilots the moral ammunition to bomb pearl harbor yet the rational and enlightened west is justified in returning the favor with hiroshima and nagasaki that somehow isnt atrocious and doesnt blemish either on reason or aristotle, the granddaddy of them all.

no other nation other than Japan would have forgiven USA for the bombs. every other nation would have prepared themselves to take revenge. care to spend a second to think that this could be because of the same 'fatalist' buddhism/zen? to be honest this happened once b4 in the opposite with emperor ashoka on the battlefield of kalinga when he saw all those soldiers dead and their loved ones grieving, proceeded to take yes buddhism and dismantle his empire -- why didnt USA do what ashoka did after hiroshima and nagasaki? -- man of reason until then. losing your reason and tapping into the 'It' inside you thru introspection is the point of these isms.

now how can the tao/zen/buddhist masters take moral responsibility for the suicidal japanese military as much as aristotle take moral responsibility for the atom bomb?

no, no, lets throw the baby out with the bathwater. we have these weapons to test on real people. lets reason the pros and cons and still go ahead and drop them on their 'zenglightened' heads, that will teach them reason....that it was better to kill them so others could live.

We're not, actually. The "nations of the amazon" referred to in the article are "Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, Suriname and Venezuela - all members of the Amazon Cooperation Treaty Organization"

In this case, I could see AWS hosting being useful to them (maybe even something along the lines of GovCloud like AWS runs for the US Government)
You’re making up the motivations of other people. This is a very bad habit to get into.
Emacs has served me well over the years. I have a consistent editing platform throughout the changes of languages and document formats. Saved me lots of time to jump right into new languages or new projects.
I agree that you should be able to use more than 1 TB. But in practice right now, what, 1% at most of households use more than 1 TB a month? I think reddit and HN are against this, but at that point I’d think charging a reasonable price for more than 1 TB of bandwidth would make sense. At least right now without 4K being widely available and consumed.
if you want to talk inspiring, consider Gwynne Shotwell. She's tasked with turning Musk's crazy ideas and timelines into reality. I can't imagine a tougher job and she's killing it.

I admit that I have spent a lot of time adjusting Emacs to my preferences (by writing Emacs Lisp code that gets loaded automatically every time my Emacs starts). I am not particularly unhappy about that fact however and will probably spend a lot of time writing code that runs inside vscode if it becomes my daily driver.

Note that I use the graphical interface to Emacs and would've left Emacs many years ago if itworked only inside the terminal environment. I'm guessing you prefer to work in the terminal environment.

Many people don't realize it, but Emacs has been able to act somewhat like a native GTK+ app, a native Mac app or an native Windows app since the early 1990s. "somewhat": right clicking does something idiosyncratic (namely, if there is already an selection, the click causes the start or the end of the selection to move to the site of the click, which is behavior I've not seen in any other GUI; the standard behavior of course being to pop up a contextual menu, which by the way is what I adjusted my Emacs to do by writing about 100 lines of Emacs Lisp code) but left clicking moves the insertion point to the site of the click (the conventional behavior on Mac and Windows) and dragging the mouse does the conventional thing, too.

I like the "just the fact" nature of the terminal environment, but I also like pointing devices. Emacs and vscode (and Plan 9, but Plan 9 has problems that prevented me from ever spending much time there) constitute a happy middle ground between the terminal environment and the overly chaotic environments of Mac apps in general, Windows apps in general and the web. I have yet to see vscode's being used intensively (like Emacs is being used) for tasks other than programming, but would be delighted if vscode or maybe some platform derived from vscode were to start being used like that.

Maybe I will be the first one to write a really popular vscode extension designed for some purpose other than programming.
Publishing companies tend to create many journals for different (sub-)communities and also numerous other reasons. Nature Research (the company) has next to Nature (its most well known journal) many smaller ones, like Nature Biotechnology, Nature Communications or in this case Scientific Reports. Some are well regarded (e.g. Nature Biotechnology, Nature Communications).
Scientific Reports has a comparatively low impact factor, which has furthermore dropped every year in the last few years.
Impact factor measures the average number of citations a published paper receives. Its impact factor of 4 is not very impressive. The main Nature journal has an IF of 41 (Nat Biotechnol has 35 and Nat Comm has 11).

In this article the patent applications are disclosed in the Competing Interests section. The readers can draw their own conclusions from those. It would be very unusual for a journal to not demand a declaration of conflicting interests.
Tables created in projects that have BI Engine enabled support streaming inserts, DML operations, etc. just like other BigQuery tables. Any queries you run using BigQuery itself incur regular query costs (https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/pricing#queries) but there are no extra charges beyond the storage costs (https://cloud.google.com/bi-engine/pricing) for BI Engine to manage the data for you behind the scenes.
I definitely agree that this is true in certain circumstances. I also feel that there can be caveats with the luxuries that a VC brings to the table. I am trying very hard to be cautious moving forward. Thanks for your response.
To follow the author's analogy, by mentoring someone, we're effectively "adding a fish" to the pond, and if someone else "catches" the fish, that effort is largely wasted.

The question is why would someone leave your company once you train them? If someone is more valuable on the open market than you are paying them, pay them market rates. HR compensation policies need to be in line with the market, not the old “we have a policy of not giving more than 5% raises”.

I’ve been working in development for a $long_time but I restarted my career about 10 year ago and my rise is about the same as you would see from someone just graduating from college 12 years ago. Out of the four job changes I had, two were partially because the next company was willing to offer me $25K more (not talking crazy west coast salaries here).

One other went out of business and the other because they decided “they didn’t want to be a software company” and they just wanted report writers a year and a half after I was hired as the dev lead.

1. Pay more than everyone around you. (Obviously, not generally viable.)

You don’t have to pay the most, but don’t pay so much under the market that everytime the employee sees a random job posting or a recruiter call they know they can make signifactly more just by picking up the phone/responding to an email.

2. Make mentoring/growth a central strategy at every level so people will see a path to grow.
I'd be curious to hear other possibilities.

That helps. But why would I spend a year a two “growing” at your company, when I could both “grow” and make a lot more money some place else?

I’m at a happy place where I work now, and I am decently compensated compared to the market, but even now if someone was willing to pay me $25K more, all other things being equal (work life balance, no travel, short commute), I would jump ship. But the only realistic way I could make significantly more is by going into management (not interested) or being a consultant (not interested right now).
I didn't expect anything with regard to stock value. I know that most startups are fly-by-night, and if the sale didn't happen when it happened, I was going to go somewhere else and leave behind my options.

The reason why I confronted her had less to do with the payout from the sale, and more to do with her general attitude towards compensation.

To put it bluntly, she continued to pay well below market rate, and if she didn't pay up, everyone was going to trickle out the door as we got market rate jobs elsewhere. No one works in an aqui-hire situation below market rate. Her views on compensation were so bad that she had me at the same starting salary that I had when I worked under the same parent company, 5 years prior.

Needless to say, shortly after my conversation with our CEO, she was fired by the parent company, and the new owners promptly fixed the compensation problem.
You don't need to take my word for it... study history and economics.
Somewhat like the Xerox Alto, which basically had an entire OS in microcode to provide CPU functionality.
If you delete your account, is there any way to make sure your data is deleted? I feel like disabling my account probably only denies myself access to their data on me
well with regards to art, you want to hold on to certain pieces and keep coming back to them, whereas when youre masturbating, most of the time youre probably okay with a temporary image of something, and then a whole new perspective for the next time so your imagination is enough for the short term pleasure
Windows absolutely dwarfs Linux when it comes to gaming market share. Game developers will factor in return on investment and therefore a proportional amount time will be spent on optimizing the Linux port.
I'd dispute it causes the over-engineering. Engineering principles cause safety margins, and regulators enforce safety margins. As the industry decides it can live with reduced safety margins they get reduced. When they get too close to a risk window, they get raised.

I know the over-engineering term exists, but I think it's based on flawed logic. Not having margins results in under-engineering, which is significantly worse in almost all cases. Its not a symmetric world out there. Some things are worse than others.
> Don't allow your family to add their DNA to a database.

IE, DNA is my personal property, hence, I own my family. Come off it.

You cannot claim to be concerned about individual privacy when your recommendation for how to protect your privacy is to intimately examine your family member's actions and then actively attempt to prevent them from doing something that is -- according to your ethics -- their right.
102-year-old cholera bacterium from WW1 sequenced after decades in storage

Migrating 23TB from S3 to B2 in 7 hours
I don't! If the company wasn't sold I was going to find another job.

The bigger problem was that she was setting general compensation far below what was competitive.

The new parent company fired her, and gave us all big raises and retention bonuses.
The piracy people were saying forever that the music industry just needs to offer their music in a comparable form and people won't need to use stuff like Napster. It's interesting to see it working so well, with Spotify's growth charts are straight upward.

But considering all the P2P tech I'm sure someone could create an open-source Spotify replacement if they did it right.

There's nothing wrong with boxing matches. There's also nothing wrong with people wanting to walk city streets without having to fight.

The solution is to provide places for boxing, and places where boxing people is forbidden.

> but bay area engineers pissing about making ONLY 300K has always come off as being a bunch of spoilt brats - especially considering the vast majority just gem/npm/pip install this and that and glue all the code together. Of course the market deserves to pay accordingly but I think it's just a big bubble that's going to crash soon - since there is a huge mismatch between demand and supply of CRUD glue programmers (which most programmers are).

Seriously? Why the hate?

300k is Tier 1 (FAANG) and 2 companies. They don't just do CRUD. Those that do CRUD probably work on the SETI/Infra/Tooling division for the BigCos and even some of these "Tool-Devs" created amazing OSS tools. Do you suggest they should be treated as 2nd class citizens and get paid half of the "product" people and creating an old-time rift?

I've seen a few Bootcampers that get a job in Tier 1 and 2 companies but they have "solid" background/previous experience (hardcore Math, Stats, Data Scientist switching to SWE, greybeard embedded software engineers), just not up to date skill set.

This whole "salaries" will crash down demise has been around forever and it hasn't happened yet just like any other "demise" prediction.

I'd suggest people not to hate the situation: our sector/field is getting paid serious money, why the envy/jealousy/negativity?

Do you like the situation where hi-tech industry as a cutthroat, no-union, rampant ageism, low-paying wage?

Think of the bigger picture here...
Hey! Author here. After talking to folks who have taken on similar projects at their jobs, I realized there wasn't much discussion around how to happily pull off a UI refresh or redesign, and I wanted to share the philosophy we used to make ours a success!

I'm happy to chat and compare notes about how folks have executed similar projects.
I'm wondering where the province is going to get electricity to charge all those cars. Solar? -- In BC?? Wind? Hey look at that thing on the Grouse Mountain. Surely they are not building a nuclear plant, are they?
My kids will have their mother's name as their last name, so what do they do, use their father's, uh, bachelor name?
> That's when I learned that it takes almost nothing to get an indictment.

While that may be true, DAs don't like to lose in court, so why would they bring spurious charges? In this case, they would bring spurious charges because of the politics, but in general, they need a motive to take things to court that are obviously not even suspicious.
I would seriously have to think about giving up my lifestyle where I don’t make nearly $300K to move to the west coast and work for a FAANG. I like my short commute, good school systems, and my big affordable house in the burbs that would cost at least four times as much if we moved.

If MS ever loses the plot and ruins VS Code, I'll probably switch to some fork of VS Code along with millions of other people.
Also from article, there is a cap of 10,000 for EB-5 visas, and visas for family members count against the cap.

So it is possible that Hudson Yards sucked up an entire year of visas and investment intended to support poorer areas, like Harlem itself, that is Harlem for real, not the crazy map which was shown in the article.
What technology are they developing that people are asking for?
That incentivize upvoting everything, since there is no punishment for upvoting posts that don't make it to the frontpage. That could be solved by making votes a limited resource, but that approach has many downsides.
I am a software engineer Massachusetts and I was tested when I interned at Intel in Hudson, MA, perhaps because I would be going to their factory on occasion. Never anywhere else, including at a defense company.

As an intern I wasn't really in a place to turn down a test, but letting a company examine my bodily fluids is pretty insane.

Well Samsung wrote their wonderful OS named Tizen. Not sure why they still sell Android phones. And if company as big as Samsung couldn't do it then lesson for industry would be that writing OS for their hardware is pretty much guaranteed failure.
I wonder if the better solution is to embed as much subtle inappropriate content in your photos as possible - not enough to traumatize grandma, but if every photo is now going to lead advertisers into a "there's a penis on the front of the Little Mermaid" problem, maybe that'll slow em down?
Can someone please enumerate how this is different from Ubuntu 18.04 (from Canonical) on WSL? Other than distro differences, I see a LOT of marketing speak in the Github ReadMe, but I can't tell if they really offer any advantage over competing offerings.

Thanks for GoodbyeDPI. Do you plan to mirror it in Gitlab?
Ah okay, it's a reference to the idea that streaming music services exist, not that you've implemented any type of streaming in your app. Cool enough though.
Same here. 54 years old. I've used Emacs since James Gosling was still hacking at CMU in the early '80s. Took me some time to finally stop using the Gosmacs key bindings :) 35 years of Emacs use and still going strong and learning new things!
