And https://cdr.skatelescope.org/#photos?lfaa for those used in the SKA, one of the largest future radio telescopes that is still under construction.

Getting the distances between the telescopes is actually easier in space. Both distance measuring and datatransmission could be done with lasers when there is a clear line of sight. Moreover, once an orbit is established, the laws of Kepler are 'followed' and predicting their mutual distances is something we can do extremely well. On Earth with very long baselines it is much trickier and things that need to be taken into consideration are cablelength differences due to temperature changes, tides and continental drift. (Continental drift is actually measured with radio telescopes: in the reverse problem when the location of a set of sources on the sky is known to high precision one can establish at what speed the distances between the telescopes is changing.)
The best way to help right now is to test it, and report any issues! I've been able to try it on Windows so far for instance.

From what I've read it seems to be geared towards people with an online business who wants access to the EU financial markets.

I'd love to see them consider granting visas for digital nomads. Most people don't know that it's technically illegal to work on a tourist visa (even remotely).

It would be really cool to have a legal way to draw a paycheck from one's home country while exploring the EU.

Estonia would benefit from such an arrangement since your tax residency would be Estonian (and thus you'd pay taxes on the salary you draw to the Estonian government) - all without taking away any jobs from EU citizens, and even creating a few. (Ex: paying for hotels/apts, restaurants, evenings out etc)
The plane went through a maintenance cycle in-between the flights; it was suggested that the maintenance caused the chosen AoA sensor to flip twice.

I'm not sure of the exact mechanics of this, but it's conceivable the maintenance crew performed a full engine or board computer boot cycle. Therefore, when the pilots started on their flight, it was the second warm-up since the previous flight, hence the same sensor was selected.

Seems like this is a pain-point that was self-inflicted by the companies themselves; selling service to many people without the infrastructure to back it up.

That said, I'm not suggesting companies deploy 1:1 infrastructure in lock-step with sales. Power/Water companies plan for peak demand periods. What prevents ISPs from being able to do the same?
If you do this, identify beforehand what you think is non-negotiable. Because it won't be a technical discussion, it will be a negotiation and you're liable to be committed at the end of it.

Of course, once you're holding certain things as non-negotiable... you're saying no.
I can't wait for the CA law to come into effect. "The law, set to take effect next year, gives California residents the power to view the types of data companies collect from them, request that the data be deleted, and allows residents to declare that their data not be sold to third parties."

Does anyone know if the law includes the ability to demand that data third parties have collected be deleted as well? Will I be able to tell what third parties already have my data from the source of collection?

The 8K support definitely seems bizarre considering 4K seems barely supported properly in even most PS4 games. Or if it is supported, you have to play the game in 30fps instead of 60fps @1080.

4K gaming on PC, even with decent hardware, is still somewhat hard to hit comfortable frame rates.

Your manager cares about the product, he's emotionally invested in it and wants everything to go as fast as possible - it's not a bad thing!

If he was emotionally invested in the product, wanting everything to go as fast as possible is not necessarily a good thing. I can make things go as fast as possible, but then the questions become no unit tests? no integration tests? spaghetti code?

And this isn't a response from a few go around either. This is often the first thing that comes out of their mouth, right at the beginning of the project.

What happens is as follows:

1) Your manager has software development background and uses it as a superiority contest to show how much better they are than you. His lack of awareness regarding variable skill level or lack of knowledge of an existing system seems to factor little into the question. So one could argue the manager could be more empathetic in this case.

2) Your manager knows nothing about software development and really has no business asking such questions in a condescending manner. So they either pretend to know or they promised someone higher up the chain even though they had no idea, but were scarred to say so, thus the cycle has completed.

3) Your manager has a calm, rational head and accepts your estimate, your explanations, and has a good understanding of the product to negotiate with you in terms of requirements without getting emotional. The manager trusts understands that your estimate is, more than likely, not going to be accurate but accepts the changing winds and doesn't hold you to the fire.

I totally agree its better to be explicit. Which is why it matters to avoid overly emotional reactions and accept what people tell you so hand waving can be avoided.

But this is more of a prevailing problem in software requirements in general. It's rare that developers get projects with clear ideas on what needs to be done because of the ignorance or unknowns in questions that need to be asked in order to deliver a product. Often the developer has to decide, and when they do and its wrong, then they have to fix whatever they decided because no one explained, or bothered to explain, how something was supposed to work in the first place.

Experiment #2: Someone says, "OK, I want you guys to stand up." with no particular emphasis on any word or looking at particular people. Did something different happen? I think that's closer to the original post's usage.

Reason enough to dispose with it I guess, but let's argue from reality not a made-up caricature.

That's a lovely script. And yeah, I should try to publicize --pre a bit more, since it is pretty handy. I don't use it a ton myself, but when it works, I'm really thankful for it. (That might sound weird since it's in my tool, but I was initially kind of opposed to adding it.)

One bummer is that it can slow ripgrep down quite a bit: one process per file is not good. As a tip, if you add

--pre-glob '*.{pdf,xlsx,docx,doc,pptx,...}'

and whatever else you need, then ripgrep will only invoke an extra process for those files specifically, which can significantly speed up ripgrep if you're searching a mixed directory (or just want to have `--pre` on by default).
Not really... while prices do not generally go down[1], $$/GB does tend to trend down over time. The important thing to the business ultimately is revenue/investment, not revenue/GB.

[1] I have to also say generally, as some of the MVNOs do tend to lower data prices over time. There are some bargains to be had there, just with lower network prioritization.
That works OK-ish for small organizations. When you have 1000 engineers, or even 100, it is no longer feasible to have a single on-caller who can keep up with changes enough to debug every system, much less the multiple on-callers you need in order to have an on-call rotation.

IME even in small organizations (<20 engineers) it's very easy to end up not knowing enough to debug everything, and your on-caller basically becomes a smart router. ie, they can debug enough to figure out that it's a DB problem, and then wake up the DB guy. This becomes really annoying for the on-caller, so there's an impetus to have more focused paging groups, and now you're back to having owners for services.
I dislike using MCO as an example of why engineers should standardize units/use metric. This was one of the first NASA projects to be done using metric units with this exact goal in mind. The more interesting part about MCO is that it's actually a pretty compelling story about engineering culture interacting with management and how risks and problems are handled. It's not as simple as "NASA messed up metric" at all and people could learn a lot by reading the whole story.

It would be pretty awesome if we'd kept to the wer/wif tradition. It'd make modern conversations a ton easier. Also, I'm fully onboard with calling males wermen or werman.

Final note, a female werewolf would be a wifwolf.

Sorry to totally geek out but I just wanted to point out the fluidity of definitions.

I wrote a shipping container tracking system for ~7 shipping lines.

Each shipping line offers a tracking service through one of these methods -- email, RSS or website form. Our container numbers are collected into a Google Spreadsheet via our freight forwarders.

The script collects relevant container numbers from the Google spreadsheet, scrapes the update and the scrapes the ERP system to enter the update.
There's certainly a history of "guys" being used specifically for men, as in "Guys and Dolls"; however, there is also an (increasing, I think) acceptance of its use in reference to mixed or even all-female groups. But not everyone is equally comfortable with that usage.

In many contexts I think it should be clear enough whether an inclusive or gender-specific meaning is intended, but some people may prefer to avoid any risk of misunderstanding by choosing a different word.

And unfortunately, as seems all to common these days, some may choose to see offence where none was intended.
Yes, and most of those references are to locals that are passed as arguments to function calls that will never take their address. In other words, it's pass-by-ref - which is perfectly safe - not pointers.

To obtain a reference to an object that is managed by a smart pointer, you would have to, at the minimum, explicitly dereference that pointer with *. In most cases, this also happens in an argument context, and the caller will maintain the pointer. It breaks when the pointer that's managing lifetime is a part of mutable state that the callee can touch somehow without returning - then it can cause the object to be freed while still holding a non-counting reference to it. At that point, you basically need something like Rust lifetime/ownership tracking to prevent such unsafe situations from happening.
> the EU should adopt English as the main language

I don't see it happening officially, but this is more and more becoming the case de-facto isn't it? Especially anytime things are done cross-border, English is the default language for a lot of situations, whether business or government or education. I was at a scientific meeting at the European Commission last year, for example, and not a single piece of written information, or spoken talk, was given in a language besides English, and as far as I can tell nobody even considered that a question. Even seems increasingly true in France, which has been politically one of the strongest opponents of de-facto English. French politicians still give their talks at the EU in French on principle, but French companies use a lot of English when doing business with other countries.
I think the reference was to the function names.

I am not saying the benefits outweigh the costs, but I think there's huge inroads to be made for high bandwidth communications tools like many-to-many video conferencing, which is tantalizingly close to being fast enough but still a pain in most situations I've encountered. Disclaimer: I am thoroughly ignorant about 4G and 5G so I don't know if 5g would help the typical issues that come up with video conferencing.
That's the beauty of code review, it gets also checked for maintainability and whether it's a code style everybody accepts. It's also possible without code review but that requires much more things to be in place.

Nothing is more frustrating than a single person pushing code that the other devs don't agree on and do have to fix/maintain actually.

What happens behind the scenes C#: the basics of working with the stack
I'm a beginner at rust, but I think this sentiment is correct. I'm finding developing in rust to be similar to the overhead of test-driven development. When I do TDD, I spend a lot more time getting to my MVP, at the benefit of catching a lot of bugs early and hopefully writing more correct code. Usually with TDD I'm pretty astonished at the code that I think is correct that fails very simple tests.

I have the assumption that once I am fluent in rust, more and more of the first code I write will be accepted by the borrow checker. The analogy is to C, where I don't really have to think consciously about, for example, assigning and dereferencing pointers. When I was a beginner C programmer (many years ago), I would write code and have it SIGSEGV immediately during test. Now that just doesn't happen unless I'm getting WAY too clever.
Soooo, two grand for something that doesn't suck? As a West Coast suburbanite, my 10K square feet of lot takes 30 minutes with the electric push mower. And, because we don't obsess over our lawn, it needs mowing every week or two. I don't see the value. A robot vacuum (which we don't have, either) I could see, as I do ours every day or two. But for 30 minutes every two weeks...

Hey, wait a minute..."we don't obsess over our lawn", now I get it: we're not the target market. Or maybe a bigger lot would make it worth it.
>Then it was hit by a Cease and Desist order by NCsoft in November 2011. The website was seized, the forums went dark, and progress completely stopped. One thing was made abundantly clear to everybody: NCsoft was not going to tolerate the development of servers for their games, even four years after they were shut down.

Why do companies do this? If they're clearly not making any more money off of it... I understand not wanting to release source (the IP could technically still be worth something), but why go after fan efforts to resurrect a service they're making $0 on? What's the business reasoning to spend lawyer money on stomping out unofficial servers?

Be charitable here,

Its much easier to disconnect the international connections than to simultaneously disconnect every piece of critical infrastructure at once during an attack. While I believe this is probably a pretext for further censorship, the underlying rationale does have merit.

International disconnects also have the benefit of your internal communications mostly keep working.
