Japanese 21st century light novel titles have a long way to go if they want to catch up with 18th century book titles, like 12 Years a Slave Narrative of Solomon Northup, citizen of New-York, kidnapped in Washington city in 1841, and rescued in 1853, from a cotton plantation near the Red River in Louisiana (now shortened to 12 Years a Slave), and The Life and Strange Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, Of York, Mariner: Who lived Eight and Twenty Years, all alone in an un-inhabited Island on the Coast of America, near the Mouth of the Great River of Oroonoque; Having been cast on Shore by Shipwreck, wherein all the Men perished but himself. With An Account how he was at last as strangely deliver'd by Pyrates (commonly abbreviated to Robinson Crusoe)

While search engines didn't exist back then, books of that era had these kinds of titles for similar reasons: they were a way of turning the book's cover into a piece of marketing. Books with long titles could explain their appeal to shoppers without requiring them to pick up the book and open it.

Interestingly, one of the things that may have led to titles getting shorter in the 19th century may be the advent of serialized fiction: as printing technology became more widely available, many famous stories like The Count of Monte Cristo and the early works of Charles Dickens were published chapter-by-chapter in weekly publications (quite similar to how manga are published in weekly magazines like Shounen Jump), and if you had an extra-long title that took up half a page every week, it would add to the printing cost in a non-trivial way.
If someone adds functionality to a type so the name isn't really applicable anymore I don't think the build catches that.

This is one of the dumbest thing I've read this week.
That’s not the reason, especially not in this day and age of clock gating. It’s because those ARM designs are optimized for low power, at the expense of not having headroom to take advantage of higher power envelopes if they are available.
Long, straight wings resembling a glider and flying slower is a combination for better efficiency. Look at the wings on the long wingspan, 30 hour endurance version of an RQ9 reaper for instance. Or the wings on a U2, or Global Hawk.

The PC12 has speed to destination as a design criteria, and enough thrust to take off from runway length at small airports. If you remove those two constraints and say you don't care about raw speed so much, and it'll always fly from fields with 6500+ ft runways, that opens up new possibilities in design for long endurance.

Studying the design of the rutan Voyager, take a look at the wing length/shape and the 11,000 ft takeoff roll. That's one end of the extreme deep end of design possibilities. This is sort of a compromise somewhere in between.

The use of a diesel engine tells me that somebody cares about squeezing the very best kilojoule per kilogram ratio from a liquid fuel.
It seems pretty reasonable to assume that quality is independent of release year.
Does anyone here have context on the pitch that got them $10 million in venture funding? Hard for me to envision how that could have worked, but their VCs must have had a pretty articulated investment thesis.

I got into Maker Faire and making things, then I ran out of time. I had to learn Kubernetes. My kids were interested then they weren’t. My son is very technical and expressed interest in robotics, but he keeps coming back to game development and blender, and that is fantastic. I have a half dozen micro boards gathering dust for projects I was going to Make. I guess I haven’t seen value enough in my daily life from my little creations, and fundamentally making something novel is remarkably difficult. I’d really like to wire that gear up with MaxMSP or processing and make some beautiful sonic spaces, but for now it stays on the shelf. Is this just me or did something fundamental of that kind of experience undermine the maker movement in general?
For a lot of your questions, I think this thing is going to be marketed for defense purpose as a HALE (high altitude, long endurance) sensor platform that costs significantly less in purchase cost, and operating cost, than a global hawk. There's already companies flying retrofitted King Air and similar for this purpose for the DoD.

If it can carry 500 kilos at 65,000 ft for 24 hours without landing, and not cost a ridiculous amount in dollars per flight hour, that's something pretty unique.

In my totally non expert opinion the undercarriage and very low ground clearance also tell me it's intended to fly from paved strips in pristine condition, which is very different than the rough field capabilities of many single and twin airplanes powered by the PT6 turboprop or one of its derivatives.

Why would it have survived as a bootstrapped business? Potentially, they would have been able to survive on less than 22 staff, but would that not have meant they could have cut back (likely long ago) to maintain a reasonable burn rate.

I'm sure the VCs noticed long ago that Maker wasn't going to pay back their fund, so while they may have kept looking for ways to make the business a huge success, isn't there some point where the VC cuts their losses and just leaves the business to do it's thing?
Do you think there's a phone (model) that's immune to Chinese intelligence once they set they are interested in recording your surroundings?

Perhaps you know this, but other curious readers may not: it's worth noting (perhaps in an org-file) that properties such as tags, priorities and timestamps allow you to catalogue and access information without using the tree structure, so it can work for non-tree like structures too.

To any interested readers, I'd watch Carsten Dominik's (the original Org-Mode auhtor) Google Tech Talk on the topic. It's good to see it explained from the creator's perspective, imo.
> Engineers of all levels seem to default into “this code is shit - I could do better” instead of having some empathy and considering they don’t have the whole picture.

several projects I've come in to - yeah, the code what shit, and yeah, I could do better. And I've done better. By asking questions, documenting the answers, writing sample data, and writing tests.

I get that code can be sloppy, have edge cases, etc. Took over a project that was halfway migrated from CI to Laravel. The migrator had close to a year on this 'migration'. We had not one unit test case, no migrations, no seeders, no integration tests when we took over. What we had was piles of half-baked uncommented model code, over-reliance on magic methods, Laravel/CI models with the same names and method names often being used in the same request but with unintentionally dissimilar behavior.

The 'code' isn't the (whole) problem. All the other stuff around the code that provides the context is the problem. We had ~ 20 tickets in a tracking system with vague notes, and were given 5 email threads of discussion about functionality questions, none with actual resolution.

> it’s that you aren’t good at reading the code yet if you can’t see all the little hairs and bug fixes.

Or... the person writing it before you simply didn't know how to write/document.

Sometimes - really, honestly - you can actually "do it better" because... really, honestly, sometimes you are actually better - more competent, more experienced, more diligent, more professional - than the person who left the code you're working on. Not always, but not never.
Yeah, just that in one case that cost is socialized/externalized.

Emacs Org-Mode!

To expand:

>dump content (images, notes, quotes, names of movies)

The images I would keep in relevant logs/wikis, or a timestamped/datetree journal (in it's own file, a header, or a subheader - whatever's more suitable/comfortable). I mostly save images for fun and logging purposes though. The notes I would keep under a (tagged) header that it belongs too, or in the datetree diary if it's personal. Same with the quotes. I keep names of movies I should watch under a (tagged) 'media' header in my tasks.org file (my other org files are wiki.org and archive.org, fwiw).

>tag each item with multiple tags ("book" "completed" "5 stars")

Tags are a built-in feature, but for the '5 stars' portion, you can go a step further and assign a key-value property to an item, say 'STARS:' and a value, like '5'.

>search for the content by tag ("show me all books I tagged with 5 stars")

And this would be done by doing a search, a tag search, with this syntax specifically: `+books&+STARS="5"`

It's a very flexible system!

They strongly imply that the difference is the shipping being included in the online price. In-store displays often say "May be available on costco.com at a shipped price."

Messaging platforms are very regional. From your mention of Venmo (which is US-only) I assume you're American. WhatsApp has it's popularity outside of the US.

I've not once in my life had someone ask for an iMessage, and Venmo I've only heard about online. The last time I sent an SMS was probably a decade ago.

Currently I live in LINE-land. 90% of my communication is on LINE. Among friends abroad, everyone has Facebook messenger but it's nobody's preferred method, rather a fallback. WhatsApp is popular among friends in Europe (Sweden/Spain). Don't know anyone who's mentioned Telegram/Signal.

I think Apple shutting down your access is a legitimate concern. Yet Apple is the only one who has taken any steps to protect the customer here. The reality is we are unlikely to see other major competitors to Apple find a better alternative because their entire business is built on exploiting user data.

And 3rd parties who create a similar system are unlikely to be successful because they don’t have the clout to convince websites to incorporate them.

> It turns out that - in a purely objective, language-design sense

Let me introduce you to many of the world's languages which have a concept of completely arbitrary object gender.

A spoon is feminine in French. It's masculine in german. A fork is feminine in both. Oh and a knife is neutral in german (not in french, which doesn't have a concept of neutral; a knife is masculine. Unless you mean like a dagger… that's feminine.)

You'll note the abscence of genitals, chromosomes, or anatomical details on most of the above.
That's why you would use non-volatile memory (e.g., NVMe) if you needed a persistent store with that degree of performance.

It is a problem, especially in transportation and distribution of products. It costs more for glass. It's heavier, there's more loss from breakage, etc. There's a reason society went from using glass for every container to plastic. Plastics are convenient, resilient to drops, lightweight, flexible, and easier to form in various shapes.
Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't subsidies be calculated on gross bookings if they were subsidizing a percentage of the cost of the ride.

If Facebook sees it fit to prevent you (the developer) from accessing your FB specific user base for any reason / violation there is nothing you can really do.

If Google sees it fit to prevent you (the developer) from accessing your Google specific user base for any reason / violation there is nothing you can really do.

Worse

If Gmail sees it fit to prevent you (the developer) from accessing your Gmail specific user base for any reason / violation there is nothing you can really do. Gmail already does this occasionally by quickly blacklisting non Gmail senders in their spam filters.
Imagine glass clamshell packaging, if you think plastic cuts are bad. It's also not about reducing profits or not. Consumer goods operate on very thin margins. Anything you do to increase packaging and distribution costs will be passed on in the price of the goods.

So basically, hydrogen/protons act as a catalyst for APH, a solid phase reactant (!?) that doesn't catalyze a chemical change, but a physical phase change in the reactant (!?) (via catalyzing the isomer change). Do either of those exist anywhere else or are these properties completely novel?
That doesn’t really line up with how defense aircraft (or defense anything, for that matter) are financed and designed. Aircraft designs are created as part of a response to a Department of Defense request for proposal and design details are kept highly secret (they won’t even file patents to ensure that no details about the aircraft are leaked). Then the craft are tested from military bases to prevent people taking pictures. Also, a defense craft wouldn’t be seeking FAA approval (the FAA isn’t authorized to regulate military aircraft)
I'm sure they have. All of aircraft design is a tradeoff (cue that comic of if each different subteam had their way...). However, I'm not sure they've made the right compromises.
Sure but this is a macro that’s user defined and not in the rust source code. Here’s the macro def:

Maybe, but I think Russia got less diverse with time.
Maybe in the cold war, but these days there are plenty of repurposed civilian aircraft. They just swap out the avionics with some nicer things, add good cameras, and have a useable and proven platform. The airframe details are self-evident enough that they may not be worth keeping secret.
VCs are focused on paying back their fund. They know that most of the companies they fund don't have enough assets to get anywhere near making a dent.

Maker has a half decent brand, and if the company isn't forced to shutdown, it is possible they could reach profitability and find a way to be a huge cash cow in the future. Or, that they would just continue on, or sell for a penance one day.

The point being, I don't think, and I'm happy to hear a good argument otherwise, that VC is to blame for the bankruptcy.

VC money gave Maker enough money that they could operate and have a shot at becoming something big. How do we know Maker could have built up what they have built without that support initially?
I know its frowned upon to ask why you are being downvoted, but honestly I would like some feedback on why the comment is being downvoted.
The commenter I was replying to, it seemed to me had missed the part and so was forming an opinion on what they think a "taker" is. In the article, you will find that he defines takers the very next paragraph after he uses the word takers. In the Joe Rogan podcast, infact he elaborates on this.

Hello, I am an experienced (5 years) full stack team lead looking for the next opportunity!

Currently my day to day includes coordinating directly with clients and prospective clients, database and system administration, devops, a lot of full stack development, coordinating with team members, and planing the development and architecture of upcoming projects.

I am used to working remote at least part time and honestly work better that way (far less distractions) but I do like coming into the office at least a few times a week.

In my spare time I work building projects to learn new technologies, exercise, building physical things, and high adventure "outdoorsy" things.

Thanks for taking the time to read my post, I look forward to talking with you!
Any chance of sharing that script?
Not all, necessarily, they may have created the design with a HALE market as one of several market possibilities. Companies have self funded r&d projects to build things and then try to sell them to defence markets before. Scaled composites did it with their Ares, and so has embraer with their turboprop ground support plane.

Here's an example of a retrofit of a COTS platform for bespoke sensor platform use.

The problem with bootstrapped businesses is scale. It can be very difficult to do big things like produce a LOT of high-quality original content and start an awesome family-themed DIY fair in the Bay area without money....

On the other side, one of the best bootstrapped DIY events is Defcon. I still remember when they didn't have air conditioning. I know it's not the same and it's not kids friendly- probably why it has succeeded.

My original point is, sometimes you just need to go big, so there is an opportunity to accomplish more. For an entrepreneur, failure is not always the biggest fear; Accomplishing too little can be a much bigger regret.

There definitely is, but successful makerspaces that I know of are co-ops. Tech Shop and Maker Faire were great, but my guess is they were “too corporate” to maintain a dedicated volunteer work force, and without volunteers, it’s probably too niche and too low-margin to be a sustainable business.
