Interesting concept! And the website is very clear, clean and well designed. My only feedback is when you said "optimize routes" I didn't know what you meant. I'd add more context into your one liner - ie "an easy way to optimize driver routes" or something along those lines.

Curious - How did you get that "ev car company" to test your software?

The idea is interesting but your "minimum speed of 120mph and modern car requirement" is not. Remember, this is rural America we're talking about, that is having trouble keeping hospitals running.
Rural areas supported Trump who promised not to reform Medicare/Medicaid and was perceived by voters as a more moderate alternative to the rest of the GOP primary field (who did have plans to cut entitlements).
Agreed, and focusing upon the telematics is not a good idea when many Firefox users might be switching them off.
I think whales are just a bunch of companies selling a lie that combining all the dark patterns = great customers.

You say they're happy to do it but just to "find" a whale you must disassociate real spending and transactional cost, obfuscate real currency, create inconvenience etc. Nobody went in wanting to spend thousands and 99.99% opt-out of paying. That's 0.01% of customers being happy and a generous use of the word since they were never offered a version that wasn't a sales funnel of dark patterns.

The article is a spin. It takes the fact "number of fires has gone down" and sells it as "forest fires are not that big a deal as you may think". In fact, forest fires are a bigger problem now than they were in the recent past. See my other comment on this topic.

I think that because I tried it and my outgoing emails weren't being delivered.

Big mail companies have blacklisted entire C-blocks of IP addresses at VPS providers, because parts of those blocks have been used to send spam in the past, and you won't know until you actually check with people you are sending mail to, to ask if they've received them. It sucks.
That title is the title of the article, but it is wrong.

They made the last course correction for the orbiter (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chandrayaan-2#Fifth_lunar_orbi...). It will make multiple orbits around the moon (looking at the lower chart in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chandrayaan-2#Charts, about 12/day) before the lander will be separated from it about a week from now, and, if possibly, more after it has separated.

He seems to be working for National Grid or at least in the field so might be defending his own here or taking my comments personally.
> Also, I'm not sure why you called CSV unsafe.

One example of it being unsafe that happened to me: I got a CSV file written by a program with a broken implementation of a CSV writer that didn't quote string fields when there was a newline in them (in my case only the first half of a newline: carriage return). Then I read the file with a broken implementation of a CSV reader that assumed that the carriage return meant a new record and filled both parts of the broken line with N/As instead of throwing an error. This way the data in the sink didn't match the data in the source. This is the loss of data integrity, which I would call unsafe. It doesn't happen if you have a file format that serializes your data safely.

Due to the format being underspecified, many people roll their own unsafe CSV writer or CSV reader, thus every CSV file (where you don't completely control the source) is potentially broken.

Edit: Browsing your Github account I found that you implemented a CSV parser in Rust. I didn't know that when I wrote the above comment, so I was definitely not trying to imply that your particular CSV parser is unsafe.
True. Rural areas might also be the source of the next generation, having higher fertility rates.

Because it is not the same result.

Yes, it is a similar result, but not the same. You give up a lot of control even using a smaller email service provider -- not the least of which is direct control of your own email data. Obviously, since it is email, there is nothing you can do about what others do with emails once they are received on their end, but it is still nice to have direct control of your side.

The counterpoint, however, remains valid. There is some work involved in maintaining your own mail server. If you use a provider, you don't have to deal with any of that -- it's always about tradeoffs. As the article says, however, maintaining your own mail server isn't as hard as a lot of people make it out to be. It takes a little of your time, but once you know the few things you need to do, I find it to not be a big deal at all.
I think just the ejection force can break bones if you are unlucky. A friend of mine had to punch out of a Harrier at low altitude. When he got out of the infirmary months later he was 2cm shorter from vertebrae compression than when he joined the RAF.

> They want to use standard tools to deal with the log.

I have a little sympathy for this one as an old habit if you don't know any better. It's also an extremely inefficient way to work with logs. If you've used a system like Splunk seriously, the idea of going back and grepping through logs on a host with the shell is just frustrating.

> They want to see the scripts that manage the system and poke around in it, which has the implicit reason to learn about the system and being able to easily modify it.

I have no sympathy for this one. Scripts are a terrible place to define policy. They are nigh impossible to audit. They are brittle. They multiply complexity by making everything a special case. They make integration of different parts of the system nearly impossible.
Meanwhile the battery in my trusty and otherwise-perfectly-functional Sony Xperia Z5 Compact just swelled up and popped the back cover off. Just like what happened to my Z3 Compact. And apparently replacing the battery is an exercise in completely disassembling the phone and re-assembling it, which can take an experienced repair technician over an hour of time. The process also has a high failure rate, since it involves disconnecting and reconnecting both front and rear cameras, the loudspeaker, the LCD screen, and the NFC antenna.

I'm particularly salty about this because not only does this ruin a perfectly good device, but it can actually be quite dangerous.

It really does suck. In some ways they say that you just have to be doing x, y and z but it ends up being so vague and fuzzy that it's frustrating. They end up just saying "well you have done that, but not enough times or for long enough (with no specific details about those criteria)."

I think it works out fine for people with a good manager who for whatever reason thinks your style is good. But if they aren't good or don't quite care about you then you'll eat shit forever.
There is definitely a vicious circle here. For many web sites/apps, the browsers that matter are Chrome on desktop and Chrome and Safari on mobile. There is now a huge gap between the number of people using those and the second tier browsers, which in most contexts are IE, Firefox, Edge and (desktop) Safari. That inevitably leads to development and testing resources concentrating on the 80% with the other 20% often being an afterthought if they are considered at all. But then there are more bugs in the second tier browsers, which just opens the gap wider.
I think you make some good points, and they'd be more appropriate if I were encouraging people to contact this person. I'm not. I found a sense of how my personal perspective had changed over the past 10 years.

And for the record, the article is more focused on what this meant in the context of a dying space shuttle program, not just "probably into someone's love life". From reading the article, I think I understand better how NASA came to be, and even how the world's collective sense of risk has continued to shift over the past decade.

Anyway, read it or don't. I just think it's worth more than a jab at the headline.

Having jumped out of a plane exactly once, the speed at which you approach the ground is actually still pretty fast even with the parachute purpose-made for beginners. I imagine also being strapped into a 200lb chair complicates landing gracefully as well.

I'm a physician working in NYC. I could make a full 75% more salary if I went to work in a rural area. Very inverse from most professions (I think) where people working in the city make the most. But I think it's that challenging to get physicians to work in rural areas.

As I recall from my 1 solo-ish skydiving experience: The standard rectangular parachutes let you move at a max of 20mph (or km/h?). And that's relative to wind. If the wind is 21mph, you can't go against it as an amateur.

I figure the round chutes are even worse at this, so you could be forced in one direction against your wishes.

From what I can see here: the chute deploys as soon as you eject at some hundreds of mph. It's probably big and therefore not very controllable.

Finally, I think you land in the seat, so it's hard to control your landing.
CHURP: Dynamic-Committee Proactive Secret Sharing
I have not been in the software industry as long as other people on this site, but I think this is a pretty worrying trend, and eventually, founders are going to have to yield more equity to employees. If your startup involves technically challenging work that requires good engineers, how are you going to compete with companies that can compensate employees 2x what you can in fully liquid comp? The only way is through more equity. Of course cash-rich late stage startups can do that, and they can also convince people that there is a very good chance that equity will actually be worth something to employers. But early stage startups can't do that so easily.

Right now, it seems like working for an earlyish startup as an employee is just a bad value proposition across the board. Even if the startup will be successful, people are getting pitiful amounts of equity. I'm not sure that's very good for the industry, but maybe it's always been like this
Nice summary.

TFA is so wrong on so many levels, I do not even know where to begin with. It surely does not make me want to rush to test the author's MTA.

Unless he's talking of a one mailbox server, accepting outgoing only from localhost and somehow endowed with a non residential ip (or good luck with rdns, rbls, etc.). But
that was always trivial, post UUCP era.

Background:
I've been running mail servers from 1996, several different MTAs, for my company and for customers. Getting the thing up and running is not (very) hard -for a primary MX net facing machine. That's where work begins though.

My primary MTA is still sendmail, and sendmail.cf was never one of my problems - I do not have a degree in compilers, whatever that is, and surely I never read sendmail.cf

> The first category of problems deal with tooling. TLA+ doesn't have a great story when it comes to automation. There is no package manager. Version control is trickier than it needs to be (it's not obvious what files you might want to commit to git and which you shouldn't when you first start working with TLA+). There isn't a lot of support for automatically running things at the commandline (the community mostly uses the TLA+ toolbox, which is a GUI-based IDE). You can and people do these things, but they feel like distinctly second-class citizens. Really TLA+ feels tied to the TLA+ toolbox, warts and all.

I currently see this as the biggest barrier to widespread adoption. Not the only barrier, but the biggest by far. A modernized CLI + exportable traces would make a huge difference.

I wonder why planes as expensive as these don't have some sort of a remote-pilot feature that could kick in in case of emergencies like this - once the in-seat pilot has ejected, at least a best effort attempt at landing the plane could take place.

Web Developer Monthly – What Happened in August?
Wouldn't be better for pretty much everyone to just help the people in areas where services are unsustainably expensive to move to denser areas where they can be properly attended? At this point the less dense areas are a waste of energy and resources that are worsening our climate outlook, we should be starting to think about real solutions instead of some cockamamie telemedicine patch - seeing a doctor over the phone is only a solution for trivial problem, as soon as there's something serious the only option is a very long car ride or a very expensive helicopter ride.

Regarding apparmor/selinux, who creates/audits those profiles to make sure each application only has access to exactly the libraries it needs? It probably defeats the purpose if it's the app authors. Similarly, who validates that these profiles don't break functionality for any device/os version? I could see this being an option for power users who are willing to collaborate on creating the profiles and deal with fixing the occasional incomplete profile. I'm not sure how feasible it'd be as a solution for your typical user though.

Same. Just be who you are. The tech industry “growth expectations” culture is garbage.

Just as a personal anecdote everyone told me constantly that I would never make Staff Engineer at Google (roughly the 90th percentile rank) by just contributing to the code base. But that is what I did, and I was promoted to that rank. And I got the satisfaction of not participating in all the anti patterns of “leadership “ where one person gets promoted for taking credit for the work of many other people, or for solving problems they also created, etc.

In short I rather admire a trade like dentistry or carpentry where one just practices one’s skills to the best of their ability, and there is no such thing as “Senior Staff Dentist”.
>The very talented individuals who stay "home" get pretty much the same pay the individual Whould in an inflated area, but the individuals peers don't.

Depends on where the home is. Short of starting your own company in your hometown, in a lot of places there just aren't comparable jobs.

Also even if you are working somewhere with an inflated cost of living, the key thing is that you can save a lot more money in absolute terms, and then later in life you can move back to a lower COL area. Your crappy $1.2m house in the Peninsula can be traded for a mansion in other parts of the country, and if you are putting ~30% of your inflated salary in stocks vs. 30% of your non-inflated salary, you will have a lot more stocks when you leave the inflated area.
Good question. Gas will be a key input into any future model that we build, but given we are in the initial stages of building out our app, we are not baking in gas prices into our model.
I do not think China ever prioritized home grown semis, since its viewed as "plumbing" for more lucrative things built on top of chips ( software, etc).

Why focus on it when South Korea, Taiwan was already doing it ?

As the article states, it's a 500 billion dollar industry.

Compared to energy, defense it's much less important ( but critical ).

Now that the US is threatening to shut them off, they are being forced to invest more heavily.

I saw a graph the other day, within 2030 or something, china was poised to hold a monopsony position in semis, something like 80% of global semi consumption is going to come from China.

It's just surprising that the US would kick their biggest semiconductor customer in the head.

I've used NNW for years and it was fantastic! If you looking for desktop RSS reader look no further. Switching back to Linux forced me to look for alternatives and I ended up with Feedly. There were complaints at first but after a while, I came to the conclusion that web app is a better choice for RSS reading than stand-alone. The modern browsers privide sufficient UI for implemnting a full-featured RSS reader, and since the most of contents is rendered in HTML, having a reader inside a browser vs. having a browser inside a reader makes more sense. Opening new links in tabs also plays well: you navigate over one dimension (tabs) vs. two (apps+tabs).The bottom line is that I want to encourage you to consider web-based RSS reader.
Not GP, but it matches my experience: with reverse DNS, DKIM, SPF, being in DNSWL (and not in DNSBLs) some of my messages end up in Gmail spam folders (very recently received a reply to a message I sent 3 years ago because of that, for instance). A while ago there were strange issues with Google-hosted mailing lists as well, with some messages not being visible even to an ML administrator, while Gmail servers accepted mail just fine (maybe it still happens, I'm just not writing to those). I hear similar stories from other mail server administrators too.

I think it's more of a Gmail/BigMailerCorp issue, and still using a private mail server myself, but I don't think it's fair to say that it's all easy and works flawlessly, even with strangely behaving mail servers on the other end.
