> why do we dislike it?

I don't dislike it at all. I love feeling like a noob. The last summer I purchased a 3D printer (one of those you have to assemble yourself) and, not knowing anything about it, I started to learn, to make tests. I felt like a child again.

You are noob, then you master a skill, then you think you are getting good at it. You browse some forum and notice that you really don't know much. Somehow you started to use this skill at work, and it's not so much fun anymore.

It's time for searching another thing to be a noob again...

Good luck with that, no, game consoles don't do GL, most Switch games use NVN and it remains to be seen if PS5 will have Vulkan support.

These engines and frameworks are welcomed by the industry, because in most studios game development teams, the programmers are a minority, game designers and scripters are who actually make the game.

This is why the neoliberal fantasy of "let's just remove regulations and let the "free-market" work its magic" is naive at best:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/why-humiras-...

"Humira’s price has defied gravity — and been ensconced as a frequent rhetorical target on Capitol Hill — through AbbVie’s aggressive use of patents and deals with generic manufacturers to forestall competition."

"Humira was approved by the FDA in 2002 and its core patents expired in 2016, according to the Biosimilars Council, a division of the Association for Accessible Medicines, which represents generic manufacturers. But AbbVie won dozens of additional patents — what critics call a “patent thicket” — that extended the exclusive market for the drug to as late as 2034, the council said."

I'm not saying that there isn't high costs involved in the approval process, what I'm saying is that it is disproportionate to the price difference. What actually makes a difference is government regulations on another level, mainly price controls, like in Europe.

Just to make it clear, I'm very much in favour of generics, but the focus should be patents and price control, not small fish like REMS (from your link "consumers pay an extra $1.8 billion in out-of-pocket costs.", which furthermore is a number the authors have every interest to inflate) or removing burdensome, but appropriate, approval regulations, possibly threatening public safety.

I realised awhile back how my brain works when I buy stuff. Most of my happiness with something I buy is based on regret or not.

I know that if I buy an electric car that isn’t a Tesla, whenever that car bugs me, I will think ‘damn it, I wish I bought a Tesla’

But if I buy a Tesla, I’m not going to think it wish ‘I’d bought a leaf’

That’s just me. I don’t even have an electric car yet. But my name is down for the cybertruck.

so where the geology allows it, why not go even deeper with the lowest reservoir, and put multiple turbines in series, with perhaps small reservoirs each .5 km?

Then the total energy capacity is V * rho * g * h, so that energy store is proportional to height, while tunnel boring price is roughly constant as long as tunnel boring volume of the reservoirs is much larger than the volume of vertical shafts.

I realize its a bit oversimplified but if we consider 2 prices: p1 price per volume for boring horizontally (for reservoirs), and p2 price per volume for boring vertically, then increasing the reservoir size by a volume delta V, requires boring 2 * delta V (upper and lower reservoir), while boring vertically the difference in height depends on the diameter...

That's what optimum parallelism is. They are collaborating to process N number as many items at the same time in the most optimum way. They also are coordinating to prevent someone from grabbing the same item or placing the same item in the same place. The conveyor belt itself is a ring buffer.

The assembly line principle can also be applied to the concept of threads. Workers collaborate by handing items off to one or more workers(threads) down the line. Thread pools are just micromanagers constantly reassigning the poor workers, but at least the make a lot of friens collaborating.

LibreOffice 6.4 Released, This Is What’s New
This piece reiterates a bunch of the usual misunderstandings of OLAP. Likely because it’s following the DBMS community’s redefinition of OLAP towards cross-tab group-by, and away from the higher end of the OLAP market. The “cube” is just as much a logical construct as a SQL table is, and just because row stores were bad at certain analytics didn’t mean that SQL was.

Compressed column-stores hurt OLAP, because update throughput (the “on-line” in OLAP) is relatively bad. Uncompressed / array stores are quite good.

The quantity and complexity of SQL necessary for a non-trivial OLAP view is daunting: time-series views (mix YTD and current-period calcs for transactional and balance accounts, get the ratio measures calculated, and handle the joins necessary for calculating and aggregating from the many (easily dozens) of fact tables that have different dimensionality and granularity and need to be joined at their finest detail. The user will want to see a set of metrics for a pair of orgsnizational units, and also as a percentage difference between the two org units. SQL does not have inter-row calculations, so quite a bit of work goes into re-shaping the SQL cursor’s results to something the user wants to see.

All that query generation and result transformation is part of the value-add of the “cube” server.

So the OLAP cube as a logical construct is definitely not fallen. Just the bad ones. They’re less flexible than SQL but provide way more productivity within the query space they’re built for.

> SpaceX will be pressured by the governments in the jurisdictions where their staff reside (where their physical threats of enforcement can be carried out) to selectively censor/blackout or otherwise wiretap use of the system,

It's easier than that.

To provide a low latency service satellites can't just forward the signal to other satellites and beam it down to a base station on the other side of the planet and back. It would take too long.

StarLink needs base stations (on Earth) close to the terminals of their users: terminal -> satellite -> base station -> internet -> base station -> satellite -> terminal

So if a country doesn't want its citizens to use StarLink it only has to deny permissions to build base stations there. Of course that's useless for small countries with a base station in a nearby country, but it's OK for large countries. Or they could welcome a base station: it will be connected to the local internet and be subject to all the usual monitoring and censorship.

A different take to the same issue: probably StarLink has to apply as an ISP in every country they want to service (take money from people there). This means a base station there or not.

By that same logic, puts("Hello, world!"); is also vulnerable to DoS attack and information leak since someone could have removed the NUL terminator at the end of the string and have puts() read uninitialized/unmapped memory. Which is absurd logic.
It’s funny how closely Tesla mirrors iPhone and the doubts everyone had about that VS The traditional phone makers.

Tesla are still at iPhone 3G point I reckon, having just released their first affordable car.

Also consider that while they are so far ahead - they are still accelerating. And the traditional car makers haven’t even realised they’re in a race to the death yet.

Most countries have barred the sale on non-EV cars in couple of decades. That’s not actually that far away. Or self driving could make all other cars seem like Nokia 3310s.

I haven't even gotten into org mode, I just edit Python using emacs and it works great. I can evaluate parts of the code and jump to the interpreter when needed. I keep a matplotlib window open with plt.ion() when running locally, or use plt.savefig() when running remotely and have a qiv window open that automatically detects new images. Works great.

The only thing I would like is to be able to use the Python interpreter _within_ the context of a function sometimes, it's annoying when an error occurs inside a function and I can't access the local variables.

I like jupyter notebooks too, but one of the things stopping me is that I can't use emacs features for editing ;)

After 15 pack.years, then the risk starts to increase significantly.
Not strange at all, apparently many still aren't aware that C++/CLI exists.

CLR was designed from the start to support C++.

Back in the 2000, "Everything.NET" Microsoft, there was the goal of having everything on top of .NET, it just did not play out that way due to the endless Windows/Office vs .NET politics across MS teams.

Using C++/CLI is much more productive for interop than manually writing P/Invoke declarations.

Or using C++/WinRT to wrap C++ API into COM/UWP libraries.

Likewise on Java, microEJ and Android world, with Android Studio, Eclipse, Netbeans and Oracle Studio you can easily do mixed language development and debugging with C and C++.

Any systems programming language that wants a place at the table on these platforms, needs to cover these workflows as well as C++ does.

Looking at how the market rate for an AWS architect (I wear this hat as well) or DevOps engineer is, it doesn't work out cost-wise on that front either.

Indeed, and I mention microwave links in the paper linked above. But those are relatively short distance: New York - Chicago, London-Frankfurt, and similar. Where Starlink and Kuiper can provide real latency benefits is on long distance paths, trans-oceanic, or passing over countries where it's geographically or politically infeasible to built microwave links.

I drive at the speed limit as well - the number of people you see doing 60mph in the middle lane though is worrying. I see that as the dangerous thing (and would argue that it inherently makes changing lanes more dangerous as you have 3 trafficked lanes, rather than 2 with a usually empty middle).

If you stick to the middle when the slow lane is even going faster than you, that's definitely the time to move over.

My aim is to be a good road citizen and obey by rules and convention to ensure everyone's journey is smooth, not only my own.

You couldn't make this up. The very group that ordered the report you are referring to, The Association for Accessible Medicines (AAM), is also appealing the introduction of a law in California that makes pay-for-delay deals with drug companies illegal. Do you understand why I'm calling it naive now? They clearly don't have the public interests in mind at all, just raking in profits, even if it's through mob-like protection fees with incumbents.

"The Association for Accessible Medicines (AAM), which represents generic drugmakers, is appealing a December 31 decision by a federal judge that allows California’s new law barring pay-for-delay arrangements between brand-name and generic pharma firms to go forward."

"AAM had argued that the law violated the federal government’s right to regulate interstate commerce and the scope of US patents"

Starlink is here not because it makes a networking business (although it doesn't hurt).

Starlink is here because on Mars you need reliable communication and positioning over the planet, and you can only do that efficiently with satellites, and Starlink is destined for Mars, not Earth. What we have here is just the testing grounds for the technology.

Personally I'm stoked about pushing 1200 sattelites in orbit to Mars - highly automated, and it would make the current 2 orbiters by NASA as peanuts.

That looks part of the "logo", not part of the navbar. There is at most a minimal difference in the actual "tabs". Of course the reason is that this isn't actually a navbar/tabs but a list of applications offered by sourcehut, this is really noticeable if you click on git when you're at an actual git repository (e.g. https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/scdoc) note that the red text highlighting where I am already says git, so clicking on git shouldn't do anything if it was actually a tab bar, but in reality it navigates to https://git.sr.ht/

So you assume Starlink will relay the data primarily between satellites and will avoid handing them over to ground till close to destination? Why?

Consider the inter-satellite relay is still in development and current mode of operation was described as "bent pipe". Even when it will be developed, it makes sense to offload data to nearest convenient fiber-connected ground station instead of satellites around the globe.
