Depends how you view it. My commute is almost an hour, half on a train and half by bike. In the morning, the train comes first, and I'm basically still waking up. That's wasted time anyway - even if I were at leisure, all I'd be doing at that point is sitting with a cup of tea, booting up my brain. Occasionally I'll see a fellow commuter I know, and we can spend the time chatting and waking up together. Then the bike ride - mostly along relaxing bike paths and trails - is a great way to finish waking up and settle my mind for work, as well as a core part of my daily exercise. Again, activity I'd need to do at some point anyway.

In the evening, the bike ride is much faster as it's more downhill, and because I'm fully awake the train ride is a chance to read, listen to music, or program for fun.

Point is, with this style of commute, the time mostly isn't "wasted" because it consists largely of activities I'd like to do at some point in the day anyway. I don't know how people cope with an hour in traffic behind a steering wheel.

The US is able to block GPS signal to a specific area (I think it was done on the Gulf War) or disable the unencrypted GPS signal (only the US military can decode them). I assume each system has the same capability too. The worst case scenario would be all parties decided to block the unencrypted portion and leaving all civilians to be location-blind, including civilian aircrafts.
> it was brilliant since you could never prove that they were trying to undermind the warnings

actually, many times you can prove these things. produce the contract showing that juul paid for one ad to run after the other and they are really screwed. Or prosecutors who have a spine could easily just record the number of instances of the ads running together vs. separately and use that as evidence they are not intended to be separate ads. (It might even be possible to subpoena radio stations for their records that would show this).

Generally, judges don't take kindly to the type of "brilliance" that would be going into court and claiming "But they are two separate ads, so we weren't being misleading" if Juul indeed arranged for them to run one after the other.

FYI I've selected Svelte for an enterprise project and after using it for some time, it seems to have some pretty big issues. I would honestly call the current release a beta version.

In particular, there is a _lot_ of flakiness with reactivity and because reactive things are magical in Svelte, it's very hard to diagnose and correct such issues. Reactive code becomes spaghetti fairly quickly once you start adding logic to prevent it breaking.

Those neat out-of-the-box transitions completely break unmounting/remounting as would be the case with, say, changing "pages" (using a router). If there's any transition still going on, the unmount will fail and yet the replacement component will be mounted, resulting in a frankenpage.

It's also maybe _too_ declarative in the sense that certain things that are easy to do imperatively require you to coerce Svelte to achieve them. You sometimes find yourself deliberately trying to fool Svelte into doing an update.

But do I regret choosing it? Not really. All frameworks have flaws. IMHO: Angular is a convoluted spaghetti of nonstandardness, React has its head on backwards with JSX, Vue has too many quirks... I'm partial to riot.js which has just been updated to v4, but I have yet to try the latest version.
you can vary precision in a "degree encoding" scheme as well just truncating rightmost bits, that's precisely why I referenced using fixed point and not floating. it also makes extra convenient to transform them into base32 and maintain some of the property that the scheme has (small changes in coordinate result in small changes in the encoded sequence etc)
the problem with just one is that US will insist having a deadswitch on it, just like it did with Galileo.

so you must have your own if you don't want US to have a Damocles sword over you

We do not rebuild the tower of abstractions for every site that uses them. I do not personally implement React from scratch when I use it for any of my sites. I get all of the benefits for none of the effort. You do not seem to acknowledge factors other than straight up performance, as is evident by what you are picking and choosing from my comments, so obviously it is not attractive to you.

I have my doubts about the viability of that for earth based food, but for it's original purpose of making food on Mars (where water is precious and CO2 can be had from the ice cap) it's brilliant.
Also it's mildy amusing that the police stopped it because OBVIOUSLY that's not road legal, but it turns out that actually there was nothing they could cite it for - unlike a good number of cars on the road.
This isn't possible without third party data. Things like the refractive index of the atmosphere (which depends on weather patterns), and the fact orbits are slightly warped due to varying gravitational fields and radiation pressure from the sun, all add up to location innacuracies unless you can correct for these effects.

That correction requires data, which needs to come from a third party because the satellites don't transmit it.

Interestingly, top level cost does not guarantee immutability, but any const member reachable from that reference is in fact guaranteed to be immutable: ergo:

template<class T>
struct deep_const { const T value; };

template<class T>
const deep_const& freeze(const T&) { /* magic */ }

template<cass T>
const T & thaw(deep_const<T> const&) { /* more magic */ }

magic and more magic left as an exercise for the reader.

edit: I do not think either GCC or clang take advantage of that though, so currently it is just a curiosity.

edit: missed actual const keywords /facepalm
You’re completely correct. I was conflating the ODR-adhering standard ‘inline’ keyword with the various inlining pragma in some compilers that actually are about solely forcing inlining as an optimisation.
If you use one of the open serverless frameworks such as OpenFaaS (which is what this article is about) then no you're not locked in.

BTW my team has investigated OpenFaaS to be able to share code between the cloud and local installations, and if we do OpenFaaS looks promising. The architecture is well documented and makes sense.
This is likely very much on Apple for depreciating OpenGL for a proprietary standard, making cross platform development a hell of a lot of work for such a niche market.

Combine that with the lack of Nvidea drivers and Macs are in an especially dismal place for 3D gaming for the forseeable future.
I get what you're saying but from an employee and personal development point of view, even the most intense 9 week course sounds guaranteed to lack the necessary substance and depth I'd want for a career start / change (which is what they're marketing this for, right?). The same argument would make me just as wary from a hiring standpoint, don't see much of a difference of qualification between 9 weeks of bootcamp versus a selection of relevant online courses there tbh. Worst case in my mind would be a $startupcollege candidate that was just trained on passing through interview processes, that's not sustainable for recruiter/employer relationship in the long term either.

That being said, my experience with letting recruiters filter candidates haven't been the best in the past and my exposure to bootcamp grads is limited since that's just not much of a thing in the German market overall (I guess because there's no real need since traditional university/apprenticeship education paths are far more affordable around here). Is hiring these candidates common in the US outside of the usual startup circles?

I am not the government, and I cannot take their position to explain this. But here is my naive thoughts: Chinese government are engineers. If there is a bug in a feature cannot be fixed, keep the feature out of the delivery until it is fixed. DL is the feature. Also no one is willing to take the risk of working on the bug, because you may fail your KPI. So every time a customer request this feature, we will scare them off, so that no one is requesting this any more. It is kind of coward, but it doesn't know how to deal with it. And politicians in west really like the influence of DL, his popularity can help them in their career, so they want to bring him up again and again. I guess that basically is what's going on. Does it really matter every time Chinese government freaks out?

I am been told by the moderator not to comment on political issues, mainly because although I use Hacker News for tech news, I do mostly comment on China issues (not many though), apparently it is against the community guideline. so I will not comment any more. For me, I have lost wills to read news, and Hacker News is the only thing I read in the morning before work, it is unfortunately there are more and more political topics here.
const values are really const (i.e. immutable). Const references are actually readonly. Could have used different keywords of course.
COSPAS SARSAT rides along on new GNSS (GPS-like) birds from several nations because it's a good place to put it. They move in the sky (which means a beacon without its own ability to determine location can be triangulated using the doppler effect, not possible from a Geostationary communications satellite), there are lots of them, and they cover the whole Earth (the weather sats used for COSPAS SARSAT today are focused on areas where people care most about the weather, rather than aiming for global coverage...)

The COSPAS SARSAT beacons run at a different frequency to GNSS, they emit bursts of digital data at 406 MHz when active, containing a unique ID for the beacon, optionally (if fitted) its own estimate of its location, and some other data. A global database maps unique IDs to owner/ operators and the nearest rescue agency will try to figure out if this is a genuine alert (e.g. phoning your emergency contact "Hi, is Gupie out on their yacht today? I see, and how many are with them?") and then deploy appropriate resources.

Beacons are entirely passive until you activate them, and then you really want absolutely anybody to know where you are because you want rescuing. "Privacy" feels like a distant problem if you are currently in a leaking raft a hundred miles out to sea or just broke your leg half way up a mountain.

It really makes it seem like handling free space was an afterthought in btrfs.

Infinite memory and infinite storage are great abstractions, easy to use models and a lot of software runs on those models... but in this case it seems like ENOSPC should have been designed in from the start.
By ‘constant stack value’, I was referring to ‘effectively constant’ stack values, i.e. ones who aren’t reassigned in the scope or passed by mutable reference (or indeed are but aren’t actually modified by those functions anyway if the compiler can prove it).

My phrasing was probably a bit ambiguous there.
Thank you so much for your work! OpenFaaS is an awesome framework.

Hmm, looks interesting but I wonder how they actually manufacture proteins. I mean there are tons of aminoacids, all highly complex structures and body needs full set of them in good ratios to digest them.

Why don't we have more golf carts or similar vehicles on urban streets? I assume they're electric and easily rechargeable? Strikes me as a decent, existing platform upon which to build variants - could have a larger tray at the rear, netted storage at the front, etc.

RV parks and campground hosts and some retirees use them for getting about in a very local context. I know they're probably serve a lot of the needs I'd have in a second car.

This process is common for modern languages with modern tooling and that's a good thing.

The Rust project has a tool called `crater` that can build all crates in crates.io and run their tests, a process that takes a couple of days. It also has a github bot that allows running crater on PRs on demand.

This is super super useful and something that all programming languages should have. It allows you to:

* make sure that a new Rust release doesn't break code that compiled with old releases.

* assess the impact of a PR implementing a breaking change (e.g. due to a bug fix)

* obtain quantitative data about language usage for language evolution.

This last point is probably the most impactful. When I was working on C++, a question like "How much people are doing X?" would often come up.

What did we do? Stakeholders in C++ meetings would travel back home, grep their codebases for the X pattern, and report back 6 months later. And that's it. That's all evidence we were hoping to get. And this was often super biased due to different coding guidelines and styles in the different companies.

In Rust, you open a PR that makes doing X trigger a compilation error, schedule a crater run, and get a list of all places in all crates in crates.io where the error is triggered. This gives you quantitative information about how often is X done in the wild, and you can then go and analyze the code doing X and obtain even more information.

It's hard to convey how important this is. You'll never have to read discussions about "I've never seen X in the wild" vs "I see X in the wild all the time". Those discussions make no sense when you have a tool that can actually tell you the answer. Every programming language being evolved today should have something like this.
It’s still SMS 2FA. What I do is don’t have payment cards saved to the account.

You used to be able to use your PayPal football back in the day (a paypal branded verisign hardware 2FA) or the VIP app but they have slowly been removing that in favour of SMS 2FA to the point where I don’t think you can even add a VIP token if you tried (used to be that you could add one, but they would try their hardest to make you use SMS instead).

If you had it enabled back in the day, it’s still active on your account (both on eBay and PayPal) but you will often find your login in flow disrupted if you still use the “old style” 2FA. (Example on some login pages but not all you are able to login by amending your code to your password. But it’s hit and miss and iirc you can’t use the PayPal app at all if you have 2FA enabled and have to do business via the website.

Note: I’m aware that PayPal and eBay are 2 separate companies now. But for the longest time they acted as one that their application flow feels every similar to each other even still.
For R and CRAN this is also being done. Maybe not with 100% coverage (there are 14k packages on CRAN) but an attempt is made to fix packages by R-core developers if breakage occurs.

Sounds good to me, but I am already afraid crossing a street in Munich. People don’t let other people cross the street even during green light phase. It’s much safer to cross street somewhere in the middle between intersections without traffic light and without cars.

Newer GPS satellites apparently don't support selective availability, so they would have no way of preventing access to only civilian devices. Of course, any of these systems can be jammed or shot down but that would affect anyone using it.

> In September 2007, the U.S. government announced its decision to procure the future generation of GPS satellites, known as GPS III, without the SA feature. Doing this will make the policy decision of 2000 permanent and eliminate a source of uncertainty in GPS performance that had been of concern to civil GPS users worldwide.

Yes, in Germany it is illegal. AFAIK, the law states something along the lines of having "proper shoework" in order to operate the vehicle.

EDIT: Whoops, no, it's actually legal [1][2] (in fact, it's perfectly legal to drive a car naked in Germany in public - though you shouldn't leave your car then, because being naked in public is not actually legal, the fine-print is that your car's interior is considered your private space), but you may get into trouble with insurance. While searching, I think I may have read that it actually is illegal in Switzerland, but don't take my word for it...

It is in fact not, unless you are talking about some cult I don't know about.

If you are talking just from the elimination of suffering angle, sure. But they make the theological case that the absence of suffering itself leads to a state that is far more than just the absence of suffering. I don't think we can or should take that as a given, just as we don't take other theological truths as a given.
Yup (or at least, some reason could always be found). But they don't shoot you as much. So it's swings and roundabouts really.

I’d love an electric car but I also like my caravan (nice cheap (£20 a night) walking holidays in the countryside). I had to settle for a small diesel instead.

Towing isn’t something a lot of electric cars seem to be homologated for. I think the only current exception is the Tesla Model X.

Unfortunately the post-1997 EU licence restrictions (in the UK) mean that lots of people are restricted to a total gross weight of 3500kg for the car and trailer, so towing even a small caravan with a car that has batteries would need the driver to do another driving test.
Given that BeiDou-3 MEO has a different orbital altitude (21500km) than GPS (20500km) and thus different orbital characteristics, wouldn't a different number of satellites be needed?

I'm not sure that the number of satellites is that significant, and simply reflects design needs/constraints.

Ran across a good lecture series on GNSS a while ago going into more detail than most people care about ("3.3 - From Keplerian parameters to Earth centered Earth fied ECEF frame"). Module 6.7 - BeiDou:
