So far as you know. My impression is that especially Japan's strategy is always to keep itself at the threshold of becoming a full nuclear weapons with very little effort given the Geo political situation. They already have a full fledged delivery mechanism in their space launch program. Given how cheap SpaceX is, the only reason for keeping these programs around is really weapons delivery.

Given the even more unique political situation of Taiwan and the strategic global importance of TSMC, it's very likely they have some option to weaponize - even if only dirty bombs.
The 737-MAX is the plane equivalent of Windows XP Service Pack 8.

> JetBlue is among airlines planning to use the [AirBus A321LR] on routes across the pond, serving Western Europe from New York and Boston.

This has to be a gut punch for Southwest, who has famously relied only on the 737. They're close to hitting their ceiling on domestic expansion with the 737 and can't compete on US-EU routes because of their fleet.

I like that the author points out the realities of modern 737 performance - just because it _can_ reach coast to coast destinations doesn't mean it _should_.

Thats not to say that the 757 is perfect. From what I've heard, maintenance is significantly more complex than the 737. And as the article pointed out, it takes way too long to board/deplane for the short hops that the 737 dominates now.

I like this, it is sensible and goes against the status quo.

The usual thought is shell scripts are hacky and you need an ostensibly more powerful language like Python or Perl.

Honestly, writing a cross platform gui is a waste of time. Java tried it(multiple times) and failed. Electron tried it and the results are terrible. Qt is moderately successful at it mostly because it is treated as the system toolkit on a lot of Linux platforms and Windows users are conditioned not to care about consistency and experience because of bad enterprise CRUD apps and Microsoft's own inconsistent behavior.

What rust should do is focus more on interop with other languages. Write your critical business logic in Rust and make that cross platform. Then write GUI in the platforms preferred Library/Language combo that handles all the UI and makes calls to a cross platform rust binary for grunt business logic processing.

SSNs are not (yet) reused. There's ~900 million potential SSNs, we've run through half, and are using ~5.5 million a year, which gives us at least another half a century before we have to start reusing.
Generally I fall into running a Sales/Marketing group or Business consulting, but my background is in various startup and Industrial/technical fields.

I have found one full time job, a few clients, and have seen/connected with a few groups I know from places outside hacker news here.

Personally, love reading the boards to find new companies and technologies that I didn’t know about and leads me down the rabbit hole.

I would think that there could be some benefit to having more non-technical job posts on the board. As to a stand alone who’s hiring... I would think it would be harder to get people to post to another thread as opposed to getting more non-technical roles and filtering.
Other than startup time, the wasm demo is very responsive on an underpowered moto g7. I'm shocked. Excellent work.
> But I have to admit my own bias in preferring the “show me how” instructional method over “tell me everything, no matter how esoteric”.

I don't think it's about preferring one approach or the other.

A good library/framework should have both instructional documentation and reference documentation. They have different use-cases and are not interchangeable.

The bean counters will always be there. Alternatively, one can think of the 737 MAX (and prior new 737 models) as an example of regulation imposing perverse incentives. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_certificate )
I'm thinking of a "load balancer" that charges for basic features like querying for which downstream servers are in service..

HAProxy on the other hand has been doing some really fantastic stuff lately that is in the open source. It makes me a bit sad that the former is the "go to" and HAProxy doesn't get the usage it deserves.

To your specific point though I think it's just super tricky to get all the features people expect at the performance they expect as well. You essentially need to implement an very efficient HTTP server, also apparently not trivial, in order to get expected Layer 7 features.. Embedded scripting language support is quickly becoming de facto.. Simple traffic proxy/forwarding is the easy part but getting something competitive together feature and performance wise feels way beyond teeth cutting?

EDIT: Using golang as an example. You would need to either piggy-back the best HTTP server available for your language platform or write your own. The stdlib Golang http server is not competitive performance wise. The reasons for this are pretty well known and seem to be largely accepted by the core team(AFAICT). This won't impact most app and service developers too much, but for an LB service the number of cycles it leaves on the table my not be acceptable at all.

They've got large quantities of Cadmium Telluride and Cadmium Sulfide, the Cadmium portion of which is quite toxic. Not to mention that burning coal releases a ton of radiation into the air also. This isn't whataboutism, far from it, in an ideal world there'd be no waste. But in the real world we have to reduce harm and balance options against each other. Nuclear waste can be quite effectively dropped into long-term geological storage facilities.

Yeah, but China does. And if the US nuclear umbrella shows signs of being withdrawn estimates of how long it would take Japan to get the bomb vary from six weeks to six months. I doubt Taiwan is much different. Sweden is in a similar position re:Russia rather than China.

I agree, but the main reason why "miniaturization" exists is that it can be done in parallel with theoretical developments and allows you to make money off the results (therefore funding more R&D).

In the places where correctness tends to matter, like safety-critical domains, undefined behavior is unquestionably worse. It's open ended latent risk and also impacts the soundness of attempts to deal with residual risk.

Depending on the nature and surface area of the undefined behavior, you can't necessarily know that your program has "no other bugs" if you can't trust the soundness of the rules for writing your program to begin with. You'll have to test it externally with something that you can depend on the soundness of, which is just moving the same work to somewhere else.
How big file did you try that it didn't work? Just curious as we are also trying to figure out how much it can handle and improve.
That problem is normally solved by creating a nicer API abstraction around it.

Windows and OS-X tend to be the more straightforward cases. There is a standard set of UI components which users expect. Things are murkier in the Unix world, with multiple libraries and display technologies.
It's not newsworthy. That's why the recent metallurgical stress topic regarding Ryanair's jets rapidly died from the news cycle - because to some extent, it's expected, and it's why maintenance processes exist. A quick search on Google News yielded exactly one recent result, and that was about Ryanair's response to the Guardian article: https://www.irishtimes.com/business/transport-and-tourism/ry...

> And metallurgical issues in Boeing planes can be as critical as software issues:

This much is obvious, and it's exactly why the maintenance exists. Crashes happen; the precursors are baked right into new processes and procedures. When said processes pick up on similar symptoms in the future, it might be in the news for a day or two, and then it disappears because it's expected.

The precise problem with the MAX is that there's an entire body of knowledge around the MCAS and other automation included with the plane that was never shared, which meant that unlike metallurgical issues which in many cases are largely unforeseen, Boeing's problems here were entirely preventable.

Items that stay in the news for a while tend to be the novel things.

It’s still dumb from a power utilization standpoint to go inside to outside when that means you always have to spin the fastest for the always present data and slow down as you go.
Another fun nuclear weapon that would have destroyed Germany is Blue Peacock. It was a series of nuclear mines placed across West Germany to be detonated if the Soviets invaded. They used chickens to keep the mines warm in cold winters.

So many knee-jerk “obvious” solutions in comments here, some with gratuitous violent fantasies to boot. Might I suggest that you look at how your proposed solution compares to other, older, suggestion on how the then-new email spam problem used to be suggested to be fixed:

Also, this is a mostly exclusively a U.S. problem. In Europe, we basically just don’t ever get “robocalls”, and have ever only heard about them in stories from the U.S. Anyone proposing a complicated technological change should explain why this is necessary when Europe seems to have found a solution already.

At least, recycling the solar cadmium byproducts is much easier than recycling spent nuclear fuel.

I would like to respectfully disagree wrt Hollywood. I have watched my fair share of indy films and, oh boy, they’re no better or worse on average than big budget films are. And Hollywood can crank out some absolute top quality smash hits... when they feel like it.

I remember this law when in college taking project management. I have a terrible habit of working until the deadline is imminent (submitting via dropbox/email/electronically is terrible for people like me). I wasn't really procrastinating since I started early as soon as the assignment was given. But I would keep writing, rewriting, refining, deleting until my report was a monster.
Interesting point, but what would be the alternative? Are you really suggesting that pilots should be able to switch from e.g. the 737 to the A320 without any kind of additional training?

Great concept -- open-source decentralized marketplace.

I believe the founders are from India, and buying vegetables/fruits from independent local vendors/farmers (vs a big box grocery store like in many western countries) on a daily basis is a norm, so this seems to be a natural extension.

Would be really interested to see how this goes -- if this problem can be tackled, even in narrow cases, it would serve as an interesting model for many other marketplace ideas.
Political reddits are the worst. I am not aware of a single one that isn't a pure circle jerk. The libertarian one used to be this weird melting pot where you even had the odd Marxist or whatever engaging in actual intelligent discussion with Rothbardians and Randians and anarchists, but then it got taken over by pajama nazis.

Some of the smaller topical subreddits about science, space, and niche areas of tech and engineering are good. The further from politics the better it is.

Interesting thread. Early in the startup phase, retreat could be a venue to openly address any strategic directional or operational misalignment, bring an external coach to help the executive team share their personal challenges in a relaxed environment. Because a lot of time, personal skill development or scaling up from a founder to CEO, or Engineering to an executive can be terrifying to a lot of people if you are doing it for the first time in a startup.

An startup office mayn't be able to address that challenges, retreats would be a way to address, while building the team comradeship building saying we all in this together, let's get our personal growth story aligned to comapny goals, let's hit them both would set a tone for company culture. If retreats well thoughts and used as a immersive exercise can pay itself forward in a lot of good ways.

There are ofcourse pros and cons of doing anything, time would be essence. Got to see if pros outweighs cons in a long run and make a go at it.

I was dealing with XML via a REST interface the other day, and was amused by the fact that nulls are represented as an attribute named "null" with a value "true", but if not null, the attribute doesn't exist, which means it becomes an actual Null, which means, of course, False. But not "false".

And by "amused" I mean it made my head hurt when trying to figure out a clear and self-documenting way to write a few lines to decode it.
The state of cross-platform GUI systems really is a bizarre mess in this day and age, and probably can only be solved with a concentrated joint effort by Apple, Google and Microsoft.

I believe it is just a naming issue. Not even sure that PHP devs have agreed on how to name the type. Internally, PHP calls them both arrays and hash tables if I understand correctly.

In Zend/zend_types.h[1] of PHP source:

typedef struct _zend_array zend_array;
typedef struct _zend_array HashTable;
struct _zend_array {
...
};

That being said AFAICT, HashTable and zend_array are used interchangeably throughout the source. I am not a C programmer, but I did write a couple of PHP extensions and that was my general understanding. Perhaps it is a compatibility issue or just used to abstract types differently in various areas of the C API.

Check out [2] for a deeper understanding of how arrays are handled internally in PHP.

That was a painful question. If soviet tanks had advanced through Europe, would the USA had responded with limited war or would had trigger the whole MAD thing?

Do you have a recommended resource for reading more about the 757? I find it interesting but I’ve never dig deeper into it.
> That's space permanently lost if the powerplant is run forever.

Many Australian farmers who lease their land to electricity companies for use as solar farms run sheep on those same solar farms.

Since the solar panels track the sun, grass grows under them and sheep being small enough to fit under the panels are perfect at keeping that grass under control.

So the farmer actually gets two incomes from the one field.
As a die hard Jack Of All Trades handyman, I can't overstate how incredible a resource YouTube has been for me. You need to come at it with at least a small baseline of knowledge of what you're trying to attempt, good shop hygiene/safety habits, patience, a "measure twice, cut once" attitude, and so on. But once you get in the right mindset, there is just so much to learn there. I credit online resources for helping me to learn:

Basic carpentry. I've built several pieces of furniture around my home including a pretty nice poker table (so, upholstery too). I built a 12'x6' shed in my back yard on a foundation that's not going to sink or slide over. Drywall and ceiling repair. Re-did a bunch of baseboard trim and only me and someone who knows what they're doing can find the mistakes. I know my limit though. I'm probably not going to attempt kitchen cabinetry or replace my roof for example.

Basic plumbing. Gutted and replaced bathrooms and kitchens on multiple houses. Repaired a busted spa back to like new. Re-did sprinkler systems. Cautiously working my way up to gas lines--don't want to blow up my home.

Basic car maintenance and repair. Everything from oil changes, brake pads up to replacing intake/exhaust systems, replacing a power steering system, light bodywork.

Metal and fiberglass work. I'm building a single engine kit plane in my garage. Online resources have been vital, and there's no way I'd have gotten anywhere on this project without them.

You need to have a good filter. You're right that the highly polished "Brought To You By Tool Company!" productions with the generic 80s porn music soundtracks are pretty bad, and the "Hey Guys! Like And Subscribe" bros are always the worst. Find the videos without background music and with bad lighting and sound quality where the person is actually grunting and doing the work in real time along with you. They're usually the best.
Props for mentioning Alpine, the only sane distro.
