> that plan works, right up until a US Coast Guard cutter pulls up and sends over a boarding party.

Why would they do that? Its not illegal to run a cruise ship.

Its also not illegal to pretend that you are a nation. Its even not illegal to live on a boat, out in the ocean!

Are you aware that ships travel into and out of the US all of the time, and none of them have to worry about the coast guard invading them?

Hey I did the plant based diet too and I feel great, basically less heavy somehow. And maybe related, I'm not sure, but less issues with teeth
I think laptops SHOULD be water resistant actually and that it's bullshit to not be able to eat and drink at my computer. So I buy durable computers instead of the MBP. Probably the only think that's truly inadvisable is drinking stuff like sugary drinks and milk at the computer because that crap is really hard to clean. Drink water.

I've always liked Lenovo computers ability to take a spill.

A mathematician's idea of "applied" and a normal person's idea of the same bear little resemblance.

"Work relationships might only need a ratio of 1:1, but especially as an engineer, where the default's to critique and only pick out the bad parts in code reviews, these really help!"

I'm on mobile so I can't pull a source, but research for work relationships generally agrees on a ratio of around 6:1 positive to negative ratio for negative feedback to be taken in a positive way.

You're correct that engineering culture falls FAR short of this, and leads to some really bad outcomes as a result.
I use like/dislike in my news reader to tell it what kinds of stories I like or don't like and it seems to do a pretty great job of finding me stuff I want to read.

On sites like this one, I don't cast a lot of votes up or down with one exception. If I post a comment, I upvote every single reply for two reasons. One, I'm happy that somebody chose to reply and two, it helps me keep track of new replies. It might be a misuse of the voting system here, but as far as I can see, there isn't a better way of spotting replies.
Yes, “Asian” as used by most Westerners† is the current socially-palatable “Oriental” or “Mongoloid”, but it’s no less lazy, ignorant, annoying and even racist.

Imagine calling Canadians and Mexicans “American” because of the continent.

† If you’re annoyed by being lumped under “Westerner” you might be able to relate.
is it that hard to believe these people might have weapons to protect themselves?

What helps me is the idea of having a fixed amount of “worries”, which you received at birth. At the beginning you have plenty and you spent your “worries” on all the things.

And later you realize you just have this amount of “worries” left. So you better spend them wisely. ;)
Have you considered that, alternatively, those people choose Macs because they find them nice to use or that they prefer OS X to Windows? The Apple cult definitely exists, but the anti-Apple cult is equally real and to be honest they both blow my mind.

I don't need peak processor power, but I sure would like a modern processor underclocked for battery life.
It's pretty obvious that if you want to simulate a brain, a Von Neumann architecture is terrible. People will invent new architectures, just like they invented GPUs and TPUs.

And your second point is also flawed, the fact that Moore's Law stops working doesn't prevent one from having ever more computing power, by simply buying more chips. Google doesn't run on one massive computer, but on millions of small ones.
I cannot stand debugging MQTT devices. From establishing a connection to sending data, it is consistently difficult to pinpoint where the failure in a system is occuring.

Contrast this with HTTP and WebSockets that are extremely simplistic to use. Largely by virtue of bigger communities using them, but so it is.

Where's the benefit of MQTT? The code is just as large and more opaque by being an uncommon standard (compared to HTTP). Everyone says bandwidth, but that's hardly a concern often and when it is...I can never seem to find the numbers of how much data usage MQTT would save for a given application.

It really irritates me how much of a form over function bad laptop the X1 is. Yet Lenovo won't sell stuff like their best screens with say their T-series lineup so you have to make compromises either way.
I grew up in India and had friends who were rich and entitled? A guy I knew one day decided to kick in the car doors of a dozen cars because he was pissed (I think because he didn't get to park there...?). Anyways, cops were called, but parents wrote out hefty checks and that was it. I have seen this kind of behavior before.
I have a theory that if you want to be promoted for your skills, work ethic ect you have to work at company that's facing the pressures of capitalism. Wants to succeed.

If you work a major bank or something, there is nothing stopping your managers from covering their asses ( all along the hierachy) an simply transferring the blame onto the lowest level employees.

What if I don't care about general intelligence? Honestly it sounds more like a burden than a benefit. A local maxima might actually be exactly the type of solution that I need, especially in cases where no satisfying solution currently exists.
You can be proud of yourself, but you should also be mad as hell! You may have come a long ways, but you'd be so much further with good mentorship and coaching. It's not that your team was moving "a million miles an hour", it's that your team suffered from bad leadership. Leadership incapable of providing the right support for the people on the team.

You deserved better, and I really hope as you moved further into your career that you found it. Finding great mentors and coaches is truly transformative.
I'm convinced that the real reason why hearing aids remain so expensive is because of the need to see an audiologist. In a day and age where Shenzhen makes hardware iteration cheap for Chinese hardware companies, it makes very little sense for the hearing aids themselves to be so expensive.

I'd love to hack on mine, but I lack the hardware setup that connects the hearing aids to a computer for programming, not to mention a copy of the Noah programming utility itself. Everything is completely closed - good luck finding an audiologist who's gone far enough into software programming and the open-source world to appreciate the benefits that FOSS brings. The UX shouldn't be so complicated - instead of the frequency-oriented UX that Noah presents to an audiologist userbase (which is well familiar with the underlying science and has an interest in working quickly and efficiently so as to proceed to their next patient appointment), have a more optician-inspired UX, which plays a sound or speech track and asks you questions like "does this track or this other track sound better to you?" and "does this sound too quiet or too loud?" over and over again until the end user "dials in" the right fit.

Galileo? I imagine Darwin had his fair share. And those are obviously just the most famous examples.
Judging from what I see on irc and when I get called for “our ES cluster is on fire, can you put it out?”, 921 indices is not much. I sometimes joke that I could replace myself with a bot that answers “less indices, less shards” to each and every question about performance and that bot could solve 90% of the problems at a fraction of my cost. But alas, nobody wants to pay for a visit from my bot.

I've had a similar experience.

I changed careers to web development. Was hired on a 3 man team. My boss was overwhelmed by work and after I was hired an unbelievable series of family health issues.

I just sat down and decided I was going to work my way though the code until I figured it out.

My coworker was a good guy, CS degree, better coder than I am. More knowledgeable for sure.

Coworker guy moved on, he needed more structure, nothing wrong with that. I managed to just dig my way though and learned a lot.

Different experiences for sure, works for some, not so much for other.
Coincidence or what? I attended a Safety Course (Construction) this very day and was introduced to the term orthostatic trauma which is also called suspension trauma. It so happens that I also do tree climbing with ropes and am familiar with prusik knots for ascension. Everyone should experience the sensation of climbing a single rope - it is magic. And finally I suffered bilateral pulmonory embolisms that I am putting down to excessive sitting while developing. My consultant told me that "20% don't make it to hospital"! Chilling memories. This article struck me thrice.
To be clear, they can prove that they have access to the keys to a wallet that has the amount of bitcoin they say they have without giving any information out as to what the keys to the wallet actually are.

They haven't done that or even said what wallet the keys go to. I'd guess that this is a hoax.
Anecdata, but my grandfather (now passed) was able to support a family of 8 children with a flight engineer job in Ukraine between late 50s to early 80s.

Free housing, international travel, crazy paid leave. 8 healthy successful children, no one starved.

I can't imagine being able to support more than 2 kids ever, without somehow becoming super-successful through sheer luck.

That is not really a problem because there is usually a lot of flexibility given to the judge in sentencing. The judge can determine an appropriate sentence within the maximums (and sometimes minimums) set by the law.
Third (personal, non-research) opinion based on general observation among myself and peers. Neither approach is a be all end all, some people learn better on one approach versus another, even among different skills.

Personally, when I am approaching something that is a "book learning" type of skill (Mathematics, Science, etc.), Mastery Learning is more efficient for me. When I am learning something that is a "hands on" type of skill (another programming language, metal working, welding, etc.), Spiral Approach is more efficient for me.
Desktop keyboards have wider tolerances to work with even if they're cheap. Lenovo has managed to figure out how to make a spill-proof laptop keyboard though.
>A 10ms average improvement could mean 1 in 1000 customers went from 10s to 1s without any other change to other customers.

Which is why I asked the question in the way that I did. I buy that a slimmed down webpage loading 10 ms faster on average will increase conversions because that makes the site usable for the visitors on bad connections. Moving to a CDN doesn't have that impact. It shaves off 10-100ms across the board.

That is exactly what the parent comment is saying is stupid about the FAA directive. Because parent believes that a mechanic can reassemble the problematic AOA sensor to be at least as good as the "improved" replacement AOA sensor from the factory.

With crisper and gene editing tech advancing rapidly, bioweapons could soon make a credible deterrent for smaller actors. Any deterrent would need to some kind of dead man switch to release the virus if the nation is nuked or they would be at risk of a decapitation strike.
I think the difference is in assessing a situation - is it always ok for all teens to drink? Or is it more about assessing whether to sometimes scare them a little by giving them a talking to and reminding them it’s not legal - and other times (if they endanger lives or get caught multiple times) enforcing the penalties as appropriate. Much like speeding or running a stop sign - sometime just getting pulled over is enough to remind you to slow down.

Then stop drinking near your computer.
What if you installed a $200 monitor on your desk, upgradeable, connected by a standard interface like VGA or HDMI, and on your desk had a $50 keyboard and mouse connected over USB or PS2. You could kept the expensive parts of your computer in a separate (hear me out here) sturdy, formed sheet-steel enclosure. This could go under your desk out of the way, so it could be large enough that average users could open it with simple tools or thumbscrews to remove, replace, upgrade, or add internal components to the computer. Sounds crazy, right? That would never work..../s

In contrast to the IBM-compatible PC form factor, the idea that you'd want to embed the computer into the monitor or keyboard, or replace the tower enclosure with a hockey-puck sized amalgamation of microscopic, proprietary, ESD-sensitive parts held together with glue, is a little crazy.

I admit there's a place for laptop computers, but I don't think that most of those use cases require aerospace-grade thinness and lightness to the extent that it precludes serviceability. Or maybe I'm just bitter over the fact that my high-end E-ATX silent case now houses a mini-ITX board with a single graphics card and onboard M2 storage, and I can't find a replacement that I like for my aging Thinkpad...
It's part of why I don't get it. Large companies have multiple competitors to negotiate with, driving down prices (and this does not look to change anytime soon, it's dropping 40%/year for transit).

Cmd/ctrl+f, "dragon". It's not quite half way down. Picture's not great. IIRC it was right inside the entrance we came in, though I don't know how much help that is as there are probably a few, even if you narrow it down to entrances open to the public.

There's a closer, somewhat sharper shot of just the top on this page:

They may have seen battle but if so as commanders from the rear where visibility to the troops was paramount. If they had seen actual close combat those elaborate decorations probably would not have survived. Also, there were many plainer helmets at the exhibition. I think a samurai expecting real combat would have chosen one of those.
Game Developer Magazine – Digital Edition Archives 1994–2013
Some of these are almost certainly just ceremonial pieces, but the ones that aren't would have served a distinctive signpost for troops under a samurai's command, the same way that flags strapped to armor and horses were common in premodern warfare through the world. Fighting without radios or even so much as binoculars is extremely confusing, and if you're leading a bunch of peasant militia who get a bare minimum of training, you want it extremely obvious who's giving the orders and where to try and group up if people get separated in battle.

This is why the only reliable benchmark is the one you do on your data.

I’ve been out of the business for a long time, but in addition to the fact that semi-submersibles pump in ballast and partially submerge when operating, they’re generally anchored using 8 or so anchors. There have been dynamically rigs for deep water drilling but I’m not as familiar with current details. I assume with current oil prices deep water drilling is pretty unattractive.
I can’t quantify in bytes, but a shard comes with quite a bit of baggage, it has a mapping and other data stores in the cluster state, some other bookkeeping data attached to it (where, is it primary or replica, in sync or not, ...) and each shard allocates a chunk of the HEAP for index operations. That chunks size depends on whether the shard received writes or not and ranges from 5MB to 256(?)MB. The exact maximum varies from version to version and I don’t think it’s in the ES docs.
