I've never had any problem using Craig's List and it just works. There are no hamburgers, no material design, the dropdowns look like dropdowns, and the links look like links. I love Craig's List! It's one of the only shopping/marketplace websites I don't dislike.

My philosophy is that if you want it to have fancy CSS and skeuomorphic buttons, use a CSS extension and make your own CSS for it. Even better - use a browser that lets you edit a page's CSS in WYSIWYG (if there are any).

If Craig's List was suddenly revamped and looked like Amazon or Newegg, I would no longer use it.
Ali Rowghani’s of YC Continuity on the Commonalities of Great Leaders
yeah, you're absolutely correct. It's the whole package. I want to know what went so right at SpaceX though.

from wikipedia
"In late 2001, Mueller began developing a liquid-fueled rocket engine in his garage and later moved his project to a friend's warehouse in 2002.[1] His design was the largest amateur liquid-fuel rocket engine, weighing 80 lb (36 kg) and producing 13,000 lbf (58 kN) of thrust.[1] His work caught the attention of Elon Musk, PayPal co-founder and CEO of Tesla Motors, and in 2002 Mueller joined Musk as a founding employee of SpaceX."

that's a hell of a lucky find by Musk and a hell of a roll of the dice by Mueller. Around the same time is when Shotwell joined, she's equally incredible but in a different way. i don't now how Musk found her.

Even then, what followed has been black swan territory. Every major development announcement at SpaceX is met with "you're crazy" and laughter from the industry and yet, a few years down the road, there it is working. Again, i really want to know what went so right.
> it just lets you do it in a more performant way.

That's not necessarily true. It lets you do it without a tracing GC, which is marketing genius. Whether or not it's more performant depends. A lot.

> It enforces rules around mutability

These are more needed due to achieving memory safety in the absence of a tracing GC. I like its rules for this; I'm just saying that they're a necessary consequence.

> and handling errors

I prefer exceptions myself. But one can write library types that force the user to handle error cases in other languages. It's not as nice as when sum type support is baked in, of course.
Fair.

The improbable story of the bra-maker who made the Apollo astronaut spacesuits
The reason "over 800 bar of hot oxygen-rich gas" is a high hurdle to break is the propensity for a metal to rust and become useless is proportional to the pressure (concentration) of the oxidizer (oxygen) it's surrounded in and how hot it is. So this metal is able to withstand 800 bar (1 bar ~=1 atmosphere), or 4 thousand times as much oxygen as sea level, at quite elevated temperatures. This is a hellish environment to not just immediately combust in.

Stratospheric Aerosol Injection [1] for emergency cooling sounds relatively cheap too, and has the advantage of a) mimicking a well-studied natural process and b) being inherently self-limiting.

But I think our energy consumption is miniscule on the scale of energy received from the Sun.

I did the math once, and a square of 300x300km of solar panels in the Sahara would cover all the world electricity demands.

The issue is with green house gases, cutting forests which alter the way Earth handles Sun's light, not out actual heat output which is minuscule compared to the heat of planet Earth.
For those who aren't familiar with the significance of this, "cd" is a shell builtin because the working directory is per-process state. So while it's perfectly valid to write a program that does a chdir(2) and then exits, it's only changing its own working directory, which is pretty useless.

It is easy to ban vape pods, it is impossible to ban cigarettes.

The problem isn't the vice itself, it is the demand for the vice.

There isn't yet a huge vape smuggling industry anywhere. Also, if banning vapes helps reduce the rate at which it is getting trendy among teenagers then I fully support it.

For one, cigarettes are not considered cool anymore, and will meet their inevitable death soon. Second, cigarettes can't be banned, because addicts will be forced into smuggling or moving to harder stuff. Third, Cigarettes have a ready smuggling industry that will take over, the second they are banned.

The analogy would be like leaving a bad marriage. It is a lot easier to divorce someone who will amiably accept than an extremely abusive partner where dissent puts your health at risk. Cigarettes are the abusive partner.

Banning cigarettes would be prohibition all over again. The vape ban has not been as bad of a disaster yet, so I can see why the govt. would want to continue with it.

I thought you were joking, since the last time I saw craigslist it was hilariously awful looking.

But, actually, it seems super clear and easy to navigate and certainly doesn't hurt my eyes. I am really surprised that either my usability/design standards have dropped so massively, or craigslist has improved enough without an overhaul.

I'm note sure which is true.
My core point is that if your "fire prevention" plan is to drive the number of ignition points to zero, you don't have a fire prevention plan, because even the impossible isn't going to be enough. It's not a sensible answer, and it's not really sensible to blame the fires on the individual ignition events.

Or, to put it another way, when we set off an explosive, the explosion isn't really "caused" by the electrical spark; the unusual thing that happened that primarily caused the detonation is the collection of a lot of explosives in one place. Explosives experts are careful around any concentration of explosives, because that's the real cause. By contrast you can play with the electrical detonation system in isolation all day long and at most you'll shock yourself a bit, and that only with extreme carelessness. The primary cause of these fires is the accumulation of huge amounts of easily-burnable material, not which of the thousands+ of ignition events was the unlucky one to set it off.

'Logical' is a misnomer, Prolog is really a database query language. Unlike SQL it's not relational and not based on joins, it has tree walking semantics.

Your observations are not at odds with what the OP said.

> Github has been honouring government takedowns

The Spanish government requested the information be taken down but only has jurisdiction over it's own users. It therefore makes sense that Github would just restrict access to the content.
My assertion is that there is no distinction between Lockheed and NSO. Both are military systems manufacturers with a similar list of clientele, and their products are deployed for better or for worse.

This article seems a little biased as the two images shown for example - one flat and one with gradients and reflections are poorly picked.

The flat one is clearly a better designed one and the gradient/reflection one is a badly designed and there are better examples the writer of the article could've chosen, but I think they picked it on purpose to back up their subjective opinion.
thank you for that, the only info. i have is from articles and PR. I love seeing what SpaceX does, and maybe they couldn't do these things otherwise, but stories like yours mean i would likely pass on an opportunity to join the company. It's not for me.

The big limitation for constructing something like that is setting up a manufacturing industry on the Moon: even with Starship, a mass driver requires far more processed material (mainly refined metals) than can be practically shipped up from Earth. The tipping point for a Lunar mass driver will be when we've created enough of an industry on the Moon to construct it out of local materials.
Nice thing is that you can use energy to create methane and oxygen from water and CO2. It's the same process they intend to use on Mars for refuelling.

Obviously this is slower and more expensive on Earth than using natural methane, but if volume increases to the point that the fuel burn is an issue you could set this up with a renewable energy source.

If you can't trust a manufacturer to make software that does what you're told it does, what makes you trust the same manufacturer to make hardware that will physically disconnect?

Similar steps would have to be taken for monitoring the device to ensure the hardware switch does what it's told, same goes for the software.
I still work with SOAP occasionally. I'd never recommend anyone start a new project with it, but I've never had to manually parse anything. Did the framework you had to work with not provide decent XSD/Class code generation and serialization/deserialization tools?

This depends on the language. The one with GC I know best, D, would reallocate l2 when pushing to it so l1 wouldn't be modified.
IANAL but it's a question of legal jurisdiction. Github is a business selling to Spanish users, so presumably are beholden to Spanish law.

"“When asked, I would give people my opinion that maintainable code is more important than clever code,” he said. “If I encountered clever code that was particularly cryptic, and I had to do some maintenance on it, I would probably rewrite it. So I led by example, and also by talking to other people.”"

This is very sage advice.
Yup.

Are you suggesting that insulin only responds to carbohydrate intake? I understand insulin plays an important role in shuttling all macronutrients from the GI tract into tissues, even if that action is somewhat different for fats, proteins, and carbs. (ie insulin binds to fat cells to reduce fat mobilization in a fed state)

Here you can see while its not the exact same, the insulin scores of beef & rice (brown especially) are very close to each other. Definitely much closer than most popular culture advice would suggest.

But it should also be said that this is for healthy individuals.

You can certainly be angry at Github for complying. People break the law all the time in order to do what is moral. Look at Chelsea Manning who's in jail right now for just that.
I'm old enough to have been addicted to things and gotten off of them multiple times in my life, usually nicotine and caffeine. I'll go 3-5 years on then 2-5 years off. Each time I get off I have 2-3 weeks where I'm an absolutely miserable person to be around. The first time I didn't realize it and thought I was just moody or having bad days. The second and beyond times (this is over 3 decades) I was well aware that all of the road rage, short tempers, mood swings, etc I was experiencing were exactly the same as the first time I got off.

There's quite a few comments in here where people are planning to take time off over the holidays to get off nicotine. You may have bounced back with no ill effects but there are a lot of us that don't and are aware of how we act when coming off and don't want to put people we coexist with through that fun.
Sorry but I'm rather confused about the point you're address because your opening sentence is a disagreement to my post yet the rest of your content is anecdote where you reiterate the same points I was making.

A sunshade is also a strategic weapon, from the POV of those nations whose insolation may be blocked (or even increased, using reflectors) at the whim of the foreign policy of the national power that controls the sunshade.

Not saying it's impossible or impractical, but the political consequences are non-trivial ... imagine being able to shave 10% off a nation's photovoltaic power capacity if they don't knuckle under to trade demands, or to mess with their storm frequency/weather patterns. It's a huge can of worms.

Yes, but we're rapidly approaching a point where the planet's own greenhouse gases take us several degrees further even if we stop emissions entirely. A sunshade could head that off, and give us time to pull CO2 back out of the atmosphere.

This is excellent. I didn't grow up anywhere nearly as remote as these communities, but being from a small town the advent of Encarta, and eventually the internet, was a massive sea change.

It can't be overstated how much of an impact efforts like this can have on young people.
The sea level has risen around 5-8 inches since 1900 and the rate at which it is rising has increased over the last several decades (and continues to increase). This is compared to roughly 2000 years of stable sea levels prior to the 1900's.

Do codefund pay well?
To be honest, I have never encountered a website so far that even remotely had the same level of usability of a really good desktop application around the year 2000 or so.

How many websites have user-definable menu shortcuts, unlimited undo, instant user-feedback for every operation, tooltips that can be switched on or off, full internal drag & drop and OS-level drag and drop of files, standard user interface elements that work how the user expects them to work, a context-sensitive online help system, reconfigurable toolbars with user-definable icon sets, multiple open documents at once, movable and reconfigurable tool windows, manye internationalizations, and so on?

The web is still the future, I know, but web application UX designers are still re-inventing the wheel and without some enforced UI guidelines like Apple had in the 90s websites will never fully catch up with desktop apps in terms of usability.

To be fair, a comparison with modern desktop apps is much more favorable, because most of them have regressed in terms of usability.
These situations exist and in those, something like Rust is a very good idea. I maintain that these situations are far rarer than most people imagine (and I've had to deal with more than a few).
