There's no "fate" and no contract we've signed that guaranteers we're an interplanetary species.

It's just that we wish we could be in the stars, but wishing doesn't always make it so. And in some cases, wishing never makes it so.

Especially without installed bases, big haul ability, etc, it takes trillions and has zero to no returns (except the glory, curiosity, and scientific value) for companies to go to the planets, even more so to the nearest stars (which also can take decades).

So while satellites lunches can make a profit, there's not much financial incentive to go beyond (real, tangible, the kind somebody will invest in, not future prospects which might take 2-3 generations to even pan out), absent state funding them (Space-X style, paid by NASA/the government).

And contrary to popular belief, climate change problems will make it even more difficult to secure such space spending, not less (e.g. people will demand urgent Earth supports, states will go each to fight on its own survival, there will resource and trade wars, and so on).

Fyi, I'm planning to migrate off of DO due to the crummy payment options. With every other recurring service I can have a PayPal subscription, DO doesn't support PayPal properly though.

Also, your billing system is incredibly spammy (1 to 2 emails a day at times). The bills I get are always for partial months despite the VMs on the account running for a full month.

>same reactors for power generation and production of materials for weapons

This is mostly about the engineering capability for building submarine propulsion reactors, not weapons. Note the article never mentioned weapons. Sustaining that engineering capability through the lean years between submarine projects through power generation projects is seen by the pacifict environmentalist groups as a cross subsidy that they don't want to provide.

Supposedly the UKs are domestic designs with more stealth and penetration aids.
This doesn’t necessary answer your question but I use an iPad, Apple Pencil and Notability for all design and then usually write a document with included sketches where relevant.
Re: IntelliJ looking bad on Windows, I do know that JetBrains IDEs are still stuck on using GDI for drawing fonts rather than the new DirectWrite protocol. The poor quality of GDI (especially on high DPI displays) is very noticeable when you switch from Linux or macOS to a Windows app that uses it. I looked it up a while ago, and as I recall it was an issue with the Java runtime that JetBrains IDEs use.

What would they need to feel remorseful about? Automating a video game? It's not like they're breaking the law... I think bots are the least harmful type of cheats anyway. I remember my first intro to programming was modifying Action Replay codes for online NDS games, that was fun but I ruined many people's games doing so. I do kind of regret abusing it like that in hindsight but I would do it again given how formative the experience was.
Hey Kyle!!! It's been awhile. ;)
> none of the features are truly needed

I think ease of contribution and discovery shouldn't be underestimated. I find it hard to believe that our little project [1] would have had 90+ contributors, of whom ~8 made very substantial contributions, if we'd self-hosted it. The project would have been far lesser without those contributions, and I probably would have abandoned it out of lack of interest.

That said, most other projects I see around have much more uneven contribution levels, with typically 100:1 ratios from the core developer to the second biggest contributor. Maybe we're just weird.

You've read a lot of very bad Go code then, that doesn't follow any of the established practices for it.

Your list there is almost a primer of "what not to do in Go", and is certainly not representative of the Go code in e.g. the standard library.

I sense some frustration about the language... what happened to make you so anti-Go?

I see no reason for the linter to recommend it unless you are using if err != nil {return err} - if you are, it is functionally the same, therefore no change and it would be recommended, which is fine IMO.

I don't really see the danger here - if you want to annotate errors properly, do so, if you want to respond in place (with a retry for example), do so, if you don't do either and just return the error (which is sometimes fine) yes the linter would recommend the shorter version.

Where's the problem?

> bill-payers will give price support to the Hinkley Point C nuclear station at a cost of £92.50 per megawatt hour, compared with £55 for offshore wind.

Something ignored here, is that electricity generation is not fungible. Wind power is not reliable, but nuclear is. Nuclear power is really the only practical solution for the UK to eliminate fossil fuel use from electricity generation, around the clock; we don't have the geography for adequate hydro.
Apologies for not really related question - is there a way to bypass Medium "login wall"? That's probably the third time this week I see "sign up for extra free reading". No any intention to sign up to Medium tbh.
Well, IMHO The Lab is the best "game" made by Valve in the recent years. For a free tech demo, it has a surprisingly large amount of content: 8 minigames, plus the lobby. Three of them are score-based and have some replay value, the others are more like experiences.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like there is more to it now. There is the Valve Index, but that's just a nice headset with nothing revolutionary. It may have a best-in-class display but none of the "gen2" features such as wireless communication, inside-out tracking, foveated rendering with eye tracking, varifocal lens...
IBM was a platform company. System/360, the PC (which they botched by opening up).
>most of which are designed by players, not the employees!

Which is kind of funny, as the original CS and TF Classic were total conversion mods made by players. I fondly remember Natural Selection, which was also later made into a standalone game. Shame Valve didn't explore the market of enabling amateur/semi-professional game design before Unity and UE ate that particular lunch. I guess the hats must be worth it.

Gotcha. So that's where cache snooping comes in and why that's sufficient to handle the case. I think I see it now. Again, thanks for breaking it down for me. So it appears the only thing necessary is for the DMB ISH to ensure that all cache-snoop messages are "processed" before proceeding.
> Fun fact: the square knot is also how you already tie your shoelaces!

Uhh, in theory. In practice no one knows how to tie their laces any more. I can go days and see nothing but granny knots and self-invented tangle (and I sneak photos to document such).

This seems to be an international issue, as well. Foreign nationals fare no better than we Yankees in my observations.

I don't know when this happened—the application of velcro in kid's shoes?—but it's definitely a real thing.

Be warned: once you start to look at people's shoes ... it's like a bad dream.

All systems has cost so which one are you considering?

The current system has a lot of costs and drawbacks. Using the marriage as the norm has caused a lot of issue here in Sweden and the system is currently being tweaked every year to account for a changing culture. 1/3 of couples with children live as cohabitation rather than registered/marriage. Family law has to keep up. Same-sex families with children is an other area which is growing and the law has seen updated several times the last 10 years.

Rather than having laws getting tweaked and warped each year to account for a changing culture, maybe it is time to address it from a different perspective. If a child treat the adults around them as their parents, the adult treat the child as their child, and social environment around them treat the adults as the parents of the child, then why not also have the law treat them as the parents of the child? Outside of medicine does the DNA then really matter?

Airtel may invest $8 bln over next 3 yrs on 5G, 4G expansion
People keep arguing this, but it is now really too late. Nuclear power is too slow to build, has trouble with suitable sites (need to be away from populated areas but near water). If we started planning a new power station now it wouldn't be online until about 2030. The intermediate strategy of "overprovision wind and fill the remaining need with CCGT" is actually working pretty well. Hopefully people can start talking about battery storage, or some other modular deployable solution.

(Cost is another issue, but it seems the parties are happy enough to spend $100bn on a nuclear weapons system that we hope never to use)
I don't believe that Google or Amazon have ever done anything like what DO did before. However, if you notice their support guy Zach was responding to a completely different incident that is not related to the one being addressed with their post-mortem.
There’s a lot of people here that I don’t think understand what declawing is.

Declawing isn’t just removing the claws. The equivalent when performed on a human would be to surgically remove the last section of your fingers, on all your fingers. You don’t/can’t just remove the claws: you are removing the entire bone.

It is absolutely cruel and unusual and honestly, you are a monster if you support this.
I don't think SELinux would help much here, since users usually run as unconfined_t. I'd guess typical users also run `sudo <whatever>` without bothering to switch role/type.

My Fitbit also has a heart monitor. It never confuses "just lying there" with actual sleep, for me at least.

Note that your heart rate slows during sleep, which is useful for detecting sleep cycles etc. Which is why I mentioned the heart monitor.
There’s not that much insight here.

Dandelions are fine, but for the sake of your neighbours it is kind to remove the heads before they seed. Having to continuously hand weed myriad young dandelion plants can be a pain, especially, I imagine if you are elderly.

I have an allotment, and you'll certainly get frowned at if you let your dandelions seed all over a neighbouring plot.

AppSpector is designed to help teams to inspect and debug their apps during development process. So it's not supposed to have real users data.

Do that in a face to face interview. Good luck with that.
What stops you from getting exactly the scissors you link to?

I love the "office" fiksars[0] because they're comfortable, and nobody could ever say that the "universals"[1] have safety features (even closed, the tip is sharp enough to penetrate skin if you're not careful).

However I wouldn't mind TFA's Pencut for my backpack's kit, because being compact and not going through the bag's canvas (or through my hand as I'm rooting around the bag) due to naked sharp tips is in fact a useful feature.

Doesn't hurt that the official ad copy pretty much brags about taking the scissors apart entirely[2]

If you have a master or licence professionnelle it's easy enough to stay, as long as you get a job offer for more than 40k€/year or so (which isn't that hard).

If you have a lower diploma than that and you don't want to study for a higher level in France, you can only stay if you get a job offer among a list of needed jobs in your region (IT-related jobs are needed in almost all regions). There's a lot of red tape, but it's not as difficult as it seems.

You can read their policies as well as I can. Or better, perhaps.

But my point is that Apple does have lots of rules about what apps can do, and can't do. And that it's been rather aggressive in applying those rules. If you search HN re some mix of ["Apple", "iOS", "app", "store", etc] you'll find complaints from developers about Apple removing their apps from its store.

So, in that context, why were they silent for years about privacy risks of third-party apps? That wouldn't be a remarkable omission by Google, given that its business model is largely about monetizing users' information. But for Apple, which has been promoting itself as privacy-friendly, it strikes me as a glaring omission.

I'm getting criticism for not acknowledging Apple for its stance on privacy, and for how much better it is than Google. And for blaming it for not being perfect. And yes, it is privacy-friendly, and does a far better job at privacy than Google does.

What I'm criticizing is the failure to clearly acknowledge limitations. And I'm coming at this from the perspective of users who are concerned about threats to their privacy. Users who aren't very technical, and who may misunderstand just what Apple protects them from.

Also, this isn't just me hating on Apple. I've said pretty much the same things about the Tor Project. Back in the day, when many users actually saw Tor start at the command line, they saw "[notice] Tor v0...(...). This is experimental software. Do not rely on it for strong anonymity." But the new https://www.torproject.org/ starts with "Browse Privately. Explore Freely. Defend yourself against tracking and surveillance. Circumvent censorship." Finding anything at all about limitations is not so easy. About risks from global adversaries. About Tor-bypass risks in Tor browser. About risks from malware that phones home through clearnet, bypassing Tor. Conversely, when you start Tor browser in Whonix, you see "Whonix is experimental software. Do not rely on it for strong anonymity."

Gaming is also one of the main things that got me into web development and programming too.

One of my first real projects beyond a Geocities personal site was a gaming ladder in 2000ish that a friend coded and I designed. It was basically a SAAS app for people to schedule, report and rank competitive Quake 3 matches. That project alone helped kick off a career in freelancing and I haven't stopped in nearly 20 years.
Making hit/innovative games is super hard.

Not only from a financial perspective but from an emotional/personal as well. You need people who can dedicate years of their life developing new tech and actually making the thing, knowing that there is a large chance to fail.

As per Valve handbook, each "co-worker" should think about the risks to the company and it is not surprising that as a group they work on less risky things which can generate profit. (Steam, existing titles).

But as competition in storefronts increases, I think they will be forced to innovate, either through VR, their own games or some other way.
