> They said the exact same thing about the F-15.

Er, citation required. I dont remember those kinds of complaints. F-16, sure, and theyd be right.

> And the F-18

Well, that depends on if you mean the F, or the A part. Many thought the F-14 was a way better fighter and had better legs. For attack, we ended up with an a/c with less range and payload capability. Which just makes it more acceptable to replace it with something with even less range. All of which reduces the strike bubble of a carrier group.
That was the DRDO, analogous to USA DARPA. The Moon mission is from ISRO, analogous to NASA.
To believe the typical developed nation's dietary guidelines are the best advice on a healthy diet is to show a level of credulity and lack of critical thinking as silly as thinking paleo is rebranded Atkins.
My threat model for encryption is my ISP. If interception happens after that, my default assumption is that I have bigger problems.

For a few years now I've been using my router to forward a selection of ports corresponding to commonly unencrypted protocols such as HTTP (80) and Gopher (70) through a VPN that terminates in a box I own hosted at a colo.

It improves the security of your data from your ISP, but has less of a performance impact than putting your entire internet connection through a VPN, increasingly so as more and more stuff moves to HTTPS/443.

I suppose it's possible that my colo is just as interested in intercepting my data as my ISP is. But my ISP is Comcast, so I doubt it.

Android is using Linux, but calling it Linux is entirely wrong.

It tries very hard to hide any non-portable components from you. The base platform is a virtual machine where you have zero access to any Linux API. They even indent their own API for things Linux already has! (Binder, ashmem, power management...)
About the one Linux API you have access to is sockets, if you're writing native code, and there mostly a POSIX subset. (No, you do not really have access to file system directly.)

It could run on Minix or Windows or Darwin for all Google cares about - but hardware manufacturers preferred Linux for the price.
How can you possibly be arguing that we should not be testing models with all available data?

All models are limited by the data they're trained from; regardless of whether they are derived through rigorous, standardized, unbiased analysis or though laudable divine inspiration.

Dude, you have no idea what socialism is. The vox article did briefly mention someone close to socialism, but in a pretty dismissive way. You sound like a straight up ass backwards libertarian. We could big data our way to socialism, maybe, but we could also big data our way to worse outcomes than currently. Technocratic solutions are pretty conservative at this point. Either you are ok with capitalism alienating and exploiting the vast majority of the world or you are not ok with it.

Later on they gonna make alternative to the alternatives
Does it though? I suppose it heavily depends on your definition of "fighter", but cranked-kite and flying wing designs have been the go-to for subsonic stealth jets and UCAVs. Under a "something that is intended to kill other planes" definition a subsonic stealth air-to-air platform with good sensors might qualify as a fighter, but many people seem to think "fast, hypermaneuverable" are requirements too. Confusing the goal with the method, IMO.

Another major design constraint difference between "unmanned fighter" and "cruise missile" would be the deployment and reusability goals. Cruise missiles tend to need to fit in launch tubes or under wings, while presumably an unmanned fighter would not be so constrained (and thus be able to use larger wings). And while cruise missiles are very single use, the sensors on an unmanned fighter may make it too expensive to discard that way.
This will be very interesting to see. Would this be the first big use case of crispr?
This requires the enemy to realize there’s an F-35 even coming. At distances and altitudes an F-35 is going to engage in CAS from, they might as well be invisible.

I’m not saying that loiter time isn’t important. It is. But it’s not as important as arriving sooner, employing more ordnance faster, avoiding killing friendlies, and not getting shot down. All of which the Warthog are objectively terrible at. And if you do need that extra loiter time, there’s always aerial refueling.
> NoSQL products like DynamoDB, Cassandra, Redis, MongoDB

As a DBA ...

Cassandra is despised. And I would say Postgres is growing a lot faster than MongoDB. Redis caching and zsets power the Internet now.

NoSQL, in general, has a much more limited set of mgmt. tools and has fallen out of favor recently for SoT.

Well, RDBMSs almost never fall over when you use SSD and indexes. And they really are the pinnacle of software engineering. Sounds like you're not a DBA.
I didn't read any trashing. Just a general note that the current commercial terms aren't sustainable for them.
I think the point of the article is not that they're trying to find info on an unsexy microbe. It's that hospitals and similar organizations don't want to talk about antifungal-resistant C Auris because they don't want to be pegged as "that hospital where people get candidiasis", and that secrecy is harmful to the public's ability to find out about the problem.
That it was done isn't the issue. It's that nobody there acknowledged the problems it created and gave their complete approval. It doesn't bode well for their future attitude toward creating hazardous space junk.

First, you shouldn’t even trust a real A-10 pilot on this topic, because “flying a plane” is not a skillset particularly relevant to “determining which fleet of planes best serves the needs for the role of CAS over the next forty years of combat”.

Second, I mentioned this to simply establish myself as someone who very much loves this plane. Flying military sims doesn’t make me an expert on the topic, but it does give some indication that this is a topic I’ve cared about and researched on my own in the past several years. If you have a disagreement with any of the actual points I raised, I’m all ears.

Third, you might be surprised to see how far these “games” have progressed in the past thirty years.

People keep saying supply and demand is a broken theory, but I'm not sure how to interpret that.

When oil prices fall some producers seem to shut off their pumps. When restaurants raise their prices the people I know tend to cook at home more.

Do you think those are weird outliers, and increasing prices should spur increasing purchases as a general rule? Do you think consumer and producer behaviors have no relationship with price whatsoever?

I have a hard time imagining what those worlds would look like, so I expect your critique is far more nuanced.

But if it is a nuanced critique, then it seems we all agree on the general principles in broad strokes, and we don't need to throw out supply and demand after all.
I disagree, a moon landing would be a signal to Indians and the rest of the world that India can compete on the highest technical level.

> ISRO’s next priority is the $1.4 billion Gaganyaan mission, which aims to put three Indian “gaganauts” -- at least one of which will be a woman -- into orbit.

According to this wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronaut, they are vyomanauts, coined from the Sanskrit word व्योमन् (vyoman meaning 'sky' or 'space').

The wiki has some interesting terminology as to what spacecraft crew members are called by different space agencies.

Dryden preferred "cosmonaut", on the grounds that flights would occur in the cosmos (near space), while the "astro" prefix suggested flight to the stars.

In English-speaking nations, a professional space traveler is called an astronaut.

NASA applies the term astronaut to any crew member aboard NASA spacecraft bound for Earth orbit or beyond.

By convention, an astronaut employed by the Russian Federal Space Agency (or its Soviet predecessor) is called a cosmonaut in English texts. The word is an anglicisation of the Russian word kosmonavt

Polish uses kosmonauta and astronauta, and the two words are considered synonyms.

In Chinese, Yǔ háng yuán (宇航员, "Space-universe navigating personnel") is used for astronauts and cosmonauts in general, while hángtiān yuán (航天员, "navigating outer space personnel") is used for Chinese astronauts

The term taikonaut is used by some English-language news media organizations for professional space travelers from China.

With the rise of space tourism, NASA and the Russian Federal Space Agency agreed to use the term "spaceflight participant" to distinguish those space travelers from professional astronauts on missions coordinated by those two agencies.

and the Indian Space Research Organisation hope to launch a spacecraft in 2022 that would carry vyomanauts, coined from the Sanskrit word व्योमन् (vyoman meaning 'sky' or 'space').

In Finland, the NASA astronaut Timothy Kopra, a Finnish American, has sometimes been referred to as sisunautti, from the Finnish word sisu.

If you work for a while at a larger company that enforces a style guide, it starts to make total sense. If your company's style guide already insists that identifiers should be named with some convention that matches their visibility, then by making that part of the language, you are simplifying the system.

I would not be surprised if specifically the Google C++ style guide influenced this decision.

TDP is the maximum thermal power in watts that gets generated as waste heat that needs to be removed. A processor can consume 50 watts, but produce 100 watt waste heat, another processor can consume 400 watts and produce 100 watts of heat. Both have 100w TDP, but one consumes 150w, the other 500w. This is why TDP doesn’t tell the full picture.

Because Ryzen 2 is manufactured on 7nm, it’s extremely efficient in that it doesn’t convert its energy into waste heat. Both 3900X and 3950X are designed to produce no more than 100 watts of heat. But of course, that doesn’t say how much current they actually draw under full load. That specification is the key and is very hard to find.

When these chips are released, you will likely see reviews that measure the total system power, that is the power CPU draws plus PSU inefficiencies, VRM inefficiencies, motherboard component inefficiencies, on top of all the power ram, ssds, and everything else uses. So it will not be an accurate measurement, but it will give you an overall sense of how power hungry it really is.

AMD CPU designs have historically been very power hungry, and I expect the new ones to be no different. Looking at how their 7nm GPUs compare against RTX in power consumption leads me to believe the 3000 series will require quite a bit of juice.

If you were to try to write an allegory of a superpower in decline, you could hardly do better than tell the story of the F-35. The most expensive weapons program in the history of the world, a decade overdue, still plagued with showstopping problems, loaded with features no one asked for, packaged in a compromised design that makes it not quite what any of the service branches actually need, with specs that do not favorably match up to the F-4. At best, we could say it was a jobs program that taught us how not to design and manufacture military aircraft in the future. The price we’ll pay for that knowledge is $1.5 trillion, along with two or three decades of air inferiority.
What does the F-35 actually offer in the field that couldn't be provided by a cheaper, simpler, more reliable weapons system?

It offers Lockheed Martin one-point-five trillion dollars, much of which will be spent in key Congressional districts.

That's all.

I suspect that those responsible for making decisions about the F-35 are perfectly fine with this. Rhetoric aside, our government and military appear to think they exist in a world where direct Great Power military conflict is not a possibility. The F-35 seems perfectly adequate to swiftly wreck anywhere on Earth that is not Europe, China, Japan, Russia or India. And that seems to be our actual goal in terms of capabilities for the immediate future.
No it can not be. Routing hardware is hardware. 32 bits is physically etched into the ASIC chips which do it.
