No, once again, I reject the notion that our financial prosperity is in any way linked to the evil protection racket that only protects SOME (evil) businesses as the expense of

1) world peace
2) our limited political capital and limited good will

Our so-called allies like Saudi Arabia are as bad as any regime we denounce, and our much vaunted "security umbrella" is a lie.

We have more in common with China and Russia than with Switzerland, as such large nations are basically just giant bullies that make-up whatever nice-sounding rationale for any unilateral action they feel like and no one can do anything about it.

We are a force for evil in this world, since World War 2.
That must be aknowledged, or I shall give you a history lesson.

Are you aware of any iOS apps that offer similar functionality but for WebDAV?

The essay's author talks a little bit about how he and some of his half-siblings feel a sense of loss, or that something feels missing, or that they wished they had a father.

But the essay never really touches on whether they _resent_ the fact that their parent or parents made the choice to have them conceived through artificial insemination from an anonymous donor. Obviously, if that hadn't happened, they wouldn't be around to resent it -- but it's still possible to feel conflicted about it.

I'm sure there are some people who do carry that resentment and some people who don't, and we often hear stories about the latter, but I've heard fewer stories about the former and would be interested to hear their voices and perspectives.
That's pretty hilarious, because I've known plenty of guys who were obese, yet could do 20 pushups. Being fat and strong are not mutually exclusive.
I tried emacs for about a week, but ended up just going back to vim because I'm comfortable with it.

However - over the years, I've realized that its not vim that I want, its really vim keybindings that I want. I have them built into pretty much everything (file manager, browsers, PDF navigation, etc). I like the workflow.

Can you recommend any good 'vim to emacs' conversion guides that keep the same vim keybinding workflow?
I thought both iPhone and iPad had mouse support now? And, it’s tucked away in the accessibility menu, so clearly not intended for general use, at least for now.

To be fair, a quick google search for "open source datalog database" does not return much that is usable out-of-the-box, other than datomic: mostly academic projects or adapters for other databases with some different querying API, like SPARQL.

Datomic seems to be one of the best ones in terms of execution of the ideas behind it and usage in real world projects, to say the least.

Starship can do better than that if stripped down to expendable use. About 13km/s: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1111798912141017089

Also, you're reading that delta-v map completely wrong. The red arrows mean you can aerobrake. So it only takes about 4.1km/s to reach Saturn if you start out at a highly elliptical (near escape) Earth orbit and do a large departure burn at perigee. (See here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta-v_budget#Interplanetary
...the 7.3km/s if the burn is done starting in LEO, minus the 3.2km/s benefit you'd get if starting near c3=0. Or you add up the numbers on your delta-v map that can't be done using aerobraking, and you get the same 4.1km/s delta-v if starting from Earth escape.)

...so a fueled up Starship could send a payload direct to Titan and still have enough propellant to propulsively brake back to Earth orbit immediately after sending the Titan payload on its way.

(But that's just one option... Lots of other vehicles could do it if you used refueling or some high performance kick stages or in orbit rendezvous.)

I've heard some optimizations in scientific computing (e.g. Gaussian 16, from someone who does chemistry) is not available without AVX, but I'm not a practitioner of scientific computing, and know nothing about the current situation.

I think a lot of them aren’t really erotic, so much as there’s an overlap between “erotic poses” and “vulnerable poses.” A lot seemed to be posed in a manner that I would call, artificially, awkwardly, vulnerable.

Which might be the point, for all I know.

That's ridiculous - I know tons of 'obese' people who can do a hundred pushups in one go.

Heap Allocation – Writing an OS in Rust
But the way it is used to categorise people in a blanket way in many area's is one of concern however.

I say this as somebody who is barrel chested, short legs (28 inside leg in inches) and large upper torso for somebody who is 6 feet 1 inch high and size 13 shoes (UK size, so size 14 in America). I always fall foul of many norm's in society. Always failed a BMI, even when you could count my ribs. Yet come across so many medical professionals who use it as gospel that it's almost religious with them. Same with calori intakes.

But then society often loves to define normal and project that. Be that imposing lark hour mentality upon night owls and leverage disdain upon them, or just calling somebody obese because of some legacy data metric that does not take into account that nobody is perfectly normal. Equally ignores that muscle is heavier than fat, just picks an arbitrary weight based upon gender and height and fills in all the blanks with norm values.

BMI as a metric needs improving - anybody aware of more refined and granular methods that can or are being used?
Just a bit of heads up in case you would like to join from Europe and don't have plans to be there "on the ground" - DON"T DO IT.

I did it last year and it was all heavily focused on "lets catch our next billion dollar unicorn" for our investors. People that don't live for idea "lets move to dream country USA" just waste time while participating. Additionally, Y decided several times to "change the rules" just for the sake of it. They basically can not handle amount of people that have a dream to start something and it all ends up to:
1.) put them in groups,
2.) let them report "progress" to us
3.) let them watch videos.

Granted, there some interesting materials but all of them you can ALREADY find online or in startup/scaleup books that we are all reading and recommending.

My 2c, take it how ever you wanted. For me it was waste of time and quite of bit of irritation around Y. However, met some great folks that were also trying to start something in my group.
This is an amusing comment to me. Maybe I'm burned out come to think of it? Your comment screams lack of experience in the corporate world, at least based on my 10 years in it. I think most companies have no time to have 2 or more programmers working on the same thing even if it produces some decent, soon to be legacy code. The constant, this is the only way to do it from so called seniors in this industry is so so frustrating.
What. How are they going to detect life on titan? They can't even detect life on mars. I mean to say, even when we know the kind of life we are looking for we get confused about how to confirm or deny its existence. So they want to design a small flying drone that works in extremely hostile conditions, that also has the kinds of sophisticated instruments needed to look for life? And not just life, life of potentially a completely unknown form, given the widely different surface conditions. This just seems like a weird mission. Finish up the Viking labelled release experiments on mars first, then go take a look in the mid Venusian atmosphere. Then take a gander at europa.... Weird mission
In the 1990's, I did some contract work while "in between computers". I had an amber-screened WYSE WY-50 terminal (library discard freebie), a US Robotics 14.4 kbps modem, and a phone line. That was the extent of my data-processing equipment.

Difference in magnitude is different in like.

The US GDP is orders of magnitude bigger than the other countries, and also has no land borders to defend so it's "defense" spending should really not be as big as most other countries.

Of course "defense" is a joke here, because US Military Defense spending is mostly "Offense" - power projection. Patrolling the international waters, and flying air missions to ensure the entire world knows the US is in charge.

Whether this has value in the world today is subjective. It's a pretty deep divide between the left ("why can't we all just get along?") and the right ("i'm afraid of anyone with a shade of skin darker than a mango, so i want an F16 flying around their country's borders 24-7 and an aircraft carrier parked outside their front door")

It didn't make much sense for most of the 90's, once russia collapsed.

It didn't make sense post 9/11 where the enemy was no longer a state, and too ephemeral to be affected by aircraft carriers.

It doesn't make sense post 2016 because the war Russia is waging on the US is one with Information (fake news, Facebook), and by compromising one of the two major political parties.

Hilariously, like a broken clock, the US is about to be right again, because it WILL make sense again over the next decade as China enters it's own "World Police" ambitions.

And as evil and self-centered the US government and international policy is, I'd rather have them in charge than China (Because while they are bastards, they are my bastards, and I, as a westerner, reap the benefits of their policies).
Yes, that was a mission proposal years ago, a blimp and quads. It was not selected then or rehashed this time. In addition, a blimp only concept has been floated (ha!) as well.
Quite the opposite, almost all experts use percentage of GDP as a measure of how much a country is developing its military. Purchasing power and inflation means that $100 billion today is totally different than $100 billion 20 years before or later. Not to mention, the total inflation adjusted amount of wealth in the country has gone up considerably, so even increases in inflation adjusted spending could still mean that the country is dedicating less of it's overall economic output to the military. Percentage of GDP is a much more effective measurement.

Sure, saying there are ulterior motives to this story is a conspiracy theory. Without, say, video evidence of the author getting handed a bag of money by Bob Swan you're free to dismissively label it as such.

Without more information we're left with:

- Everything in the WSJ article was known years ago.

- AMD is a week away from likely taking the x86 performance crown from Intel in nearly every metric.

- The last time this happened, Intel engaged in outright illegal non-competitive behavior to preserve market share.

Eh, almost every NASA robotic mission that has gotten this far in the design and selection process has also flown. They're way past the "fantastical half-baked idea" stage. The financial reality is that NASA can only finance one or two billion-dollar missions per decade, and the competition is rather fierce. To be selected as the New Frontiers class mission of the late 2020s is a big deal, and you can be sure that at this point the proposing team has made a very solid case for their mission.
I understood the title slightly differently: the ultimate conclusion was a general pattern of conscientious health behavior is the real predictor. So those that do at least one push-up are likely to be healthy, even though that is purely correlation and not causation. All of these other metrics that have surprisingly high correlation are indirectly measuring whether you generally live healthily.
I did that for about 7 years [1] and don't want to do it again.

It's odd to me that Emacs wasn't mentioned at all. I use it for most of my computing (email, music, file management, etc.) and it works well enough in the terminal if the Meta-key works properly, as opposed to needing to use Escape.

>Luckily, people were emailing each other from UNIX/Linux machines long before modern graphical email clients (or webmail) even existed.

I suppose this is technically true, due to the use of ''modern'' here, but I find it important to note that graphical interfaces for things such as email have existed for decades. Using terminals shouldn't be an ideal.

I find the native terminal emulation provided by the Linux kernel and OpenBSD to be lacking. There's not much of a good reason to query terminfo or termcap when every terminal you're reasonably going to use supports a superset of ECMA-48. However, I've found that even basic sequences such as SCROLL UP and SCROLL DOWN aren't supported in the native terminals. So, you get the choice between your program not working in those, making it inefficient and jittery for every terminal, or building a querying infrastructure; the first option is what I've chosen. If I'm wrong or anyone has any advice for this, I'd be interested in it.

I wouldn't be writing a terminal program in this age if the GUI facilities of modern systems were decent and I could build up my own abstraction for that, but the terminal, with all of its added faults, is at least the simpler option. It would be nice to have facilities GUIs enjoy that let me express simple concepts such as ''The interface must be at least this large.'', though.
What Does Putin Really Want?
What do you want me to do? I am merely explaining why the west is not up in arms over china. The answer is basically money. China has cheap manufacturing that enables western lifestyles at their current price point so a blind eye is turned. South Africa, Russia, etc, etc, do not so they get criticized. Sorry for not being sufficiently Outraged(TM). Yes. This sucks. Shitty things happen in the world all the time. Chinese authoritarianism is one of them. As someone literally on the other side of the world it is not high up the list of priorities for me. There are fires closer to home that need fighting first.
> They neglect power-users.

The way i see it is Apple provides simple defaults which work best for most/avarage users.

If you want something different/extra vs the default, you can customize some stuff within SystemPreferences (like keyboard shortcuts) or install a third party app (like BetterTouchTool, Contexts, Moom, Magnet, etc.)

Personally, i much prefer my Macbook's UX over my Windows10 UX.
Joycon BOYZ Shirt
The US is the third most populous country in the world, and it's GDP is comparable to the entire EU, and almost twice China. And it only spends ~2% of that on defense. Do you understand the relative scales here? Military spending per capita per area is quite comparable to other nation's spending. With the amount of shipping and money that flows through the US, it would be absurd to leave it inadequately defended.

>it's considered above-sacred to allow this military machine to do literally anything it wishes to do

It doesn't do anything it wishes to do, it does what politicians wish it to do, and what it does is "protect US interests", which is exactly the same thing every other military force on the planet does for its host nation.

I don't understand your comment, because I don't store "cardboard boxes from food items" and don't know of anyone who does. I may have some cardboard in my recycling bin from Amazon packages occasionally, but the food I buy isn't stored in cardboard.

It's also unclear what your comment is railing against exactly. Cardboard, or upholstered furniture and rugs? Are you saying that your home is somehow cooler because everyone else is storing lots of cardboard? How much cardboard does one have to store in order to elevate indoor temperatures?

Of course, I can understand about living into a temporary apartment with moving boxes stacked everywhere. Cardboard is an excellent insulator, so obviously living in a tiny room insulated with cardboard is going to bring up the temperature. Not a common situation, though.

"legacy code runs the business". While I do agree with this general comment, I've also seen legacy code killing the business.

I've seen legacy code so buggy that it couldn't be fixed, that new features required quarters to be added, that customer service team had to double size every year to help customers with their bad experience.

When legacy code is not properly maintained, it can become this unescapable hell. Yes, it sort of works but at what cost?

I have been working full time remote for 10 years, mostly remote for 5 years before that, all at the same SV company. I love it. It does take some discipline, and my work life is entirely separate from my home/social life. I have succeeded
by a) a personal commitment to subject matter mastery, no matter what I'm working on, and b) taking pains to understand stakeholders and the full business context and c) making sure my deliverables always contain some valid answer, that they move the ball forward a bit, no matter what point of scale I'm involved in. I do not join herds but I value them and treat them with respect—they are the dominant human condition. To compensate I conspicuously show my peers and my boss that I have their back. I never, ever gossip. I give away my work freely because social capital. This enables me to blow off a lot of the unproductive collaborative make-work that goes on in any big company, without negative repercussions. Which is good because introversion and ADHD. :-)

Ya, but look into the regs for even a developed country like Canada. When it comes to downlinking satellite data they are all stuck in a pre-megaconstellation regulatory regime. There are often laws stating that the host country have veto power over all data going up/down to the sat, that the sat not handle data that the host country cannot control. They do not envision the concept of multiple satellites communicating between themselves.
