>You lose on range (~20 miles max)

Just because it's still a super cool feat 17 years later, from 2003: https://www.sciencenewsforstudents.org/article/model-plane-f...

>11-pound Model Airplane Flies the Atlantic

>Named TAM-5, the 11-pound plane flew 1,888 miles from Canada to Ireland in 38 hours, 53 minutes. It set world records for longest distance and longest time ever flown by a model airplane.

>[...]To qualify for flight records, a model airplane has to weigh less than 11 pounds, including fuel. So, TAM-5 had room to carry just under 3 quarts of gas. This meant that the plane had to get the equivalent of about 3,000 miles per gallon of fuel, Brown says.

>The biggest challenge in building the model, Brown says, was figuring out how to make TAM-5’s engine efficient enough to cross the ocean. Most model airplanes use alcohol-based fuels. Instead, Hill used Coleman lantern fuel because, he says, it’s more pure and performs better. He tweaked a regular model airplane engine to make the valves smaller and more efficient.

>The plane also carried an impressive set of electronics. Every hour during the flight, crewmembers were able to get information about the plane’s location from a Global Positioning System (GPS) device on board. The GPS device communicated with a satellite orbiting Earth to determine the plane’s exact latitude, longitude, and speed.

>The route was programmed into the computerized autopilot, which automatically adjusted the plane’s direction to stay on course. There was also a transmitter on board that sent signals directly to crewmembers on the ground when the plane was within 70 miles of its launch and landing sites.

So that's 2003-class "impressive set of electronics", with artificial fuel restrictions for record purposes to boot, yet nearly a couple thousand miles of range. Only going about 50 MPH granted, but presumably a weaponized design would only need to burst speed briefly and slow loiter might actually be a strength in some CAS scenarios. Napkin math'ing it, seems feasibly dangerous, 3 US quarts of kerosene is about 5 lbs and a couple lbs of shaped RDX is plenty to do some real damage if a pinpoint strike. Just saying that I think you're even more right than you suggest there! A scenario of fielding thousands/tens of thousands of cheap drones offers chances for a pretty radical rethink in doctrine.

The paper is arguing in favour of userspace threads or M:N threading, which were fairly popular in the late '90s, before falling out of favour. Then got popular again with go.
It’ll be interesting to see where the new CEO takes IBM and what his strategy is to make IBM relevant again. The last decade has been stagnant (if you’re being nice) and abysmal (if you’re being honest) for IBM, missing out on all the forecasted tech growth categories. Cloud services, they’re never even in the discussion. Mobile - forget it. AI...maybe. They need to find a niche they can excel in, 1 least, in order to create the buzz needed to make them a relevant company again.
Ask HN: What is the best way to onboard new developer?
Hey. What is your opinion on good onboarding process? How it should look like? Do you use tools for that? What about remote teams? Best!
Commercial crew program is going to be a way, way cheaper method of putting astronauts in low-Earth orbit than the Space Shuttle. And most of the capabilities that the Shuttle had but Starliner/Dragon lack are either obsolete or are being handled more efficiently by the dedicated X-37 spacecraft.
You are absolutely right adherence to backward compatibility will eventually leads to situations similar to C++ or C. Rust and go eventually will be facing same issues as C++ or C today, once they reach critical mass like them (which itself is a question mark for Rust).

Haskell and other FP language is a completely different paradigm and it’s true unless there is very good tooling which can transparently take old code and move it to new code with breaking changes every language will go through that transition, we can’t be prophets, who can know exactly what’s there in future precisely. Python learned it the hard way as when it was designed didn’t have Unicode and later to support it gone through 2 to 3 transition disaster. Java was lucky in 1996 as by that time Unicode was popular and it backed it in language and JIT infrastructure.

But at present in Haskell tried both cabal and stack to compile elm 0.19.1 compiler and pandoc and found it’s really hard due to version incompatibilities of GHC. I hope situation in Haskell improves so that GHC can compile old and new code transparently without too much fiddling and pain.
Now why is utilization suddenly a concern for cars but not for cargo bikes or exotic consumer goods like coffee? Let me guess, you don't own a car, but a bike and you like to drink coffee? How about your bed, could that not be utilized much more efficiently? I bet 16 hours or so it just stands there collecting dust.

In a city, everything that needs space is scarce. You can ask for a "fair" price for a parking space, but then don't complain about a "fair" rent and a "fair" premium on every service that also utilizes space. The thing is that "fair" can look very different to different people.

And the purpose of that gun is no longer valid as it won't take out modern tanks. Also if you are fighting modern tanks you would get shot down by MANPADS.

There is a reason why CIA never seemed to give away anti-aircraft weapons while they throw anti-tank weapons at Syrian rebels. Despite manpads would be so valuable against the old Syrian air force.
I also have ADHD, but my thoughts (multiple and distracted they are) are “flashes”, not a fully dubbed voiceovers. They would be much slower if they would need to be “pronounced” mentally.
fwiw I also have ADHD, and certainly daydream a lot, and often imagine myself in situations or doing interesting things, but I would say that I don't have much of an 'internal monologue'. I imagine being in situations, but very rarely speaking is conciously involved. For example, I also sometimes imagine being the leader of my country, but I'm more thinking about issues that might arise and how I might decide to act to respond to them, and how people might react, what obstacles might be encountered etc, but in a more abstract way? Like on an emotional level rather than a linguistic level.

On a tangential note, I was amazed to find that there exist people who struggle to keep geometry in their head, in a sense have no visual "minds eye" at all. I was playing a game with somebody where you have to build a very simple tower while blindfolded, as somebody else reads the instructions, and they had a great amount of trouble imagining that a specific tetris-like shape might look like the letter 'T' even though they held it in their hands, until they removed the blindfold. They were still able to understand the shape of the object in some sense, but not 'see' it in some other sense until they removed their blindfold.

I wonder how well these kinds of simple differences in internal concious organisation map to personalities, or competency in certain areas.
Estonian e-residency is not a true residency. It's mostly just marketing.

> Please be aware that e-Residency does not confer citizenship, tax residency, residence or right of entry to Estonia or to the European Union. It is not a visa or residence permit.

So while you can start a company in Estonia, you can't legally work there or stay in the EU as far as I know.
> What makes you so sure?

Cause the difference between feeling better/being stronger and being able to overcome that is something I can evaluate. I know when throat hurts. You really can tell.

Also, the hardening effect is ridiculous, mostly because the actual hardening effect going on is that you stop perceiving cold water to be unpleasant. That is also not just psychological. You can stay longer and longer and longer without starting to tremble. For the record, trembling means you have overdone it and should go out asap.Hypotermia is real thing that happens to real people.

For that matter, with cold swimming, your resistance to cold will go up too and you will be able to stay much much longer then untrained people without trembling or being tired after.

All in all, if you follow guidelines and make water cold only gradually, you don't experience unpleasant feelings. With cold swimming (which tend to be natural progression once showers are boring), you experience high from endorphins it releases.

As in, it is the day in week you look forward, because it feels good.

> I know enough people that sneeze once and don't work for a week. While others will only not go to work if they have a fever.

Fewer is good immune system response.You can have no or low fewer and still feel pain or be weak. You described one person with good immune system and one with bad one.

> It's unscientific to rule out something that's so well documented like mental effects (placebo).

It is also unscientific to reject idea that something is not placebo.
Absolutely nice (and simple) - thank you!
Thanks for answering. Makes sense to me.
Yeah!! Let's switch to Lyceum!
I was trying to be nice to the poster.

Being blunt, I think the poster has no idea how insurance works, and didn't bother to read anything while signing up. Now they are upset because they actually read it.

Or being less charitable, they did understand the process, and wanted to create fake outrage about it.
You don't have to "be in the know" to get how insurance works. Nor to understand that an insurance company will want to do it's fact checking on someone as a condition to insure them.
I don't underestimate how bad clients can be. I don't over-estimate how hard it is for some self-employed people to ask for more money. It's ok to be fired by people who aren't paying you. It's even better to fire clients who aren't.

The Caltech endowment fund seems to be $3.2B. It seems like they're already pretty rich... and I suspect that lets them actually pursue these cases successfully.
For those who do inner monologue - I worry about telling you about this. It might make you wish you didn't ever realize it. So.. spoiler in the next sentence. When you start talking in your head, pay attention to your vocal cords and the area around them... Notice anything? They're probably moving like they would if you were actually talking out loud. Have you ever noticed how you tried to talk really fast in your head but seem to always get limited and it feels weirdly physical that you can't talk even faster? It's because you can't actually speak that fast in real life - thus you're limited because your mechanisms for talking are actually moving at the rate you're speaking - but if you can't speak fast then you can't think fast either really. It's usually something you'll casually notice but ignore... and then later you'll really notice it every time you think. Similar to floaters - always there but only when you're tired or looking at a blue sky do you really notice and get upset over it.

Sometimes I find myself speaking at an unreal speed in my head (but everything is clear and distinct - something that doesn't happen when people talk fast, things get slurred) but it's because I suppressed the vocal portion of my physical movements for just a moment. It's weirdly surreal. I think, "Is this how fast I would talk if I wasn't physically limited?" To think faster, I usually skip words in my inner monologue because the physical part always gets in the way. To someone listening in, it'd sound weird. And I always worry that people can tell what I'm thinking because I know my body is actually moving when I speak - it's sometimes like people pick up on it. I think I pick up on it too here and there... hard to say.

Not sure if STM32L432 is more "open source" than nRF52840 (does latter require blobs for radios?), but I think OpenSK can be ported to STM32 too. It's probably easier to port TockOS-based OpenSK to different MCUs than STM32_hal-based Solo to something other than STM32.
I really want to know if stuff like introversion/extroversion and depression has any correlation to this. I feel like my inner monologue keeps me company most of the time and I’d be much lonelier without it.
That's being overly pedantic.

About the update rate: It's updated regularly. If you want to go down this rabbit hole, is 1m update real-time? Is 1s update realtime? Where do you draw the line? For most people, anything less than 12h, in the case of tracking confirmed cases, is perfectly fine described as "real-time"

About the data: Obviously it's showing confirmed cases and not actual health of people. The UI makes that pretty clear, it says "Confirmed cases" in big font. No one expects the latter...
There are some theories that the brain may effectively contain more than one "proto-consciousness" (or perhaps some of them are actually "fully conscious"). Maybe 2 or 3, maybe a whole lot of them.

If this is true, then when you have an internal "dialogue", you may be literally conversing with different sapient "beings". If so, who's actually the "you" there? Are you one of them, or all of them, or just kind of observing them all from above? Are you able to switch between those modes, intentionally or otherwise? Are "you" a microservice architecture, a monolith, a monolith orchestrating microservices, or all, or none?

We intuitively feel like we're a single voice and "manager" of everything that's going on. That could still be true even if there are other consciousnesses at work in there. Or it could be an illusion, or sometimes you are and sometimes you aren't, or maybe consciousnesses can somehow merge into a true single whole.

Or maybe it's closer to what we think, perhaps with multiple "intelligent" subsystems exchanging information, but only one actually conscious, sentient system.

There are a myriad of puzzling possibilities. We still know very little about how the brain and mind truly work, so this is all blind speculation. But it's interesting to ponder.

I actually suspect we will someday have pretty definitive answers to questions like these, or at least answers which apply to 90%+ of humans. But those answers may not come in any of our lifetimes.
I'm tempted to write a blog post... I bristle a little when microservices are described as "best practice". Monolith vs microservice is really about _people_ and _organizations_. Monoliths make sense in some contexts and microservices in others, but the deciding factor is really the size of the team and number of people working on different functional contexts.

The best analog I can come up with is monoliths in larger organizations are like a manifestation of Amdahl's law. The overhead of communication and synchronization reduces your development throughput. Each additional person does not add one persons worth of throughput when you cross a critical individual count threshold (mythical man month and all that).

I'm not describing this clearly so I should probably actually commit to writing out my thoughts on this in a post describing my experience with this.
Openstack ironic and bifrost are pretty useful OSS tools for managing baremetal servers.
Not to mention a ton of the cool stuff (or decision to skip non-cool stuff) in your [practical language] came from experimentation in projects like Haskell.
They have been failing to do anything at the local level for years, because it's easier for a small group of angry wealthy homeowners to get their way in local processes.

So they were looking to do something statewide, to put everyone on a level playing field.
HN has decided that running arbitrary commands on your production systems is OK.

And that doing packaging, staging with CI/CD and immutable infrastructure is unnecessary.

FAANG companies clearly disagree.
Are you looking at the part that says, "Get 5,000 free emails per month for 3 months?" I would interpret that as an introductory quota for new accounts; after three months the monthly quota will be reduced.

But the story does not add up to me at all taken at face value.
I speak 3 languages (Spanish being my mother tongue). I just came to the realization that when I read in English, the words sound crips, clear, and the voice that's reading them in my head is not really my own voice. I can't really describe it but its a very neutral voice with no accent. When I speak in English I have a thicker Spanish accent. When I read something in Spanish the voice in my head sounds a lot closer to my own. Now my brain hurts.
I am also somewhere in between these two extremes, and I actually find that the process of taking an abstract thought and forcing myself to form it into words is a great way to find out how well-conceived the thought is.

In other words, I may find that I can't easily put it into words and that will indicate to me that I need to put more time into thinking about it and deciding what I really think.
That's what semver is for, right?
Breaking changes go in a major, same major means that the latest is always compatible.
You'll have the same issue with microservices if you introduce breaking changes.
> of course I think about things using language

I used to, but I intentionally stopped and cleared my mind every time I did it for half a year, and now I only think in language when I'm trying to compose a speech or write.

So that's a thing you could try if you want to see for yourself, in case I'm a P-zombie.
> Question from an outsider: Is it really necessary to have a state-level bill for this as opposed to county-level?

County-level decisions on zoning has essentially outlawed most new housing except for single family housing which led to this crisis.

In the US the State has legal authority over land use and can supersede local jurisdictions at any time.
Your hyperbole is burying any realistic point you are trying to make, I think.

WWW had far bigger impact that iPhone, and is european innovation.

For that matter, the entire system of democratic capitalism and relatively free markets you are espousing was invented there. Fair to argue who's done the best job of "perfecting" it, but it's European ideas originally :)

I think it is very interesting to compare entrepreneurial approaches and success rates (to the degree it's meaningful) across jurisdictions, for what it's worth. But "Europe can't do this at all" is a silly line to draw.
Why would Apple care? A billion dollars to them is a speeding ticket. It hurts smaller companies more. One hostile patent lawsuit can tank a startup or sink a small, established company that can't afford to fend it off.

It's the smaller companies that should care and lobby as a collective.
Mathematics can be expressed in a sort of language? (Or also often - geometrically.)
The F-35 it's multirole. single-engine, all-weather, stealth multirole combat aircraft, designed for ground-attack and air-superiority missions. So it has to deal with all kinds of dangers. It's I-want-to-do-it-all aircraft that will not outperform anyone who specializes, unless the technical advantadge is on, ie. killing by range without being seen. But F-35 could kill lesser aircrafts, maybe 3 or early 4th generations but cannot outmatch other fighters with same technology. F-22 is way better for that.
I’ve spent a long career in tech (20+ years and one day hope to fuse that with public service (both elected and foreign such as yours). Would you mind if I were to get in touch to inquire more based on your experiences?
> There is a popular view held that the Airforce brass doesn't like CAS/COIN (They all about killing MiGs) and that prop planes aren't sexy enough which is why this program has been taking so long.

This may be getting in "jurisdiction" issues, but if the USAF doesn't really want to do CAS/COIN, why can't the Army do it?

The USAF keeps think clear at >3,500 feet (1000m), and Army CAS planes mops things up for the folks on the ground. If extra muscle is needed USAF ordinance can be dropped or an AC-130 be requested.
I would say I have a beginners understanding of Haskell (proof: https://bytes.yingw787.com/posts/2020/01/30/a_review_of_hask...) and IMHE Haskell is an academic research language for good reason.

For most software, the SDLC is a stream, not tightly scoped like a library or utility. I haven’t seen migration or upgrade plans, docs aren’t really there, links rot extensively, and the strangeness budget is a blank check. It’s not for most developers and it’s not because most developers are “lazy” or “dumb”. I would have loved to use Haskell for my personal projects, but it didn’t satisfy my requirements and I’m sticking to Python.

For starters, in Haskell Stack, there’s no uninstall option. You use shell to rm a package. https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/361

That’s nope territory for most developers.
Driving over the posted speed limit can appear safe when it definitely is not.

My morning commute involves a blind left turn out of a residential street. Cars parked on the curb obstruct my view of oncoming traffic in the right lane. This isn't a problem when that traffic observes the 35 mph speed limit. I've had far too many close calls with self-centered jerks driving 55 mph in that lane. Sporty sedans are impossible to see over a row of parked cars.
This seems unbelievably credulous on the part of Vice.

On the one hand, we have 23 sightings a week, across the town, from a variety of people, including a helicopter pilot, over a sustained period of time. On the other hand, we have a government report that all of those sightings were of "stars, planets, or hobbyist drones". The people of this town have never seen a star before? Really? Is the government report really more believable?

It sounds like the scene in Men in Black, but even more lame. "No. Those weren't drones. Those were nothing."

"Mass hysteria" is an explanation that seems hard to swallow. These people weren't panicking, they weren't seeing demons or magic, they were making reports of real things (drones) acting in plausible ways. That a group of local government officials couldn't find any evidence doesn't seem to mean anything. What evidence would we expect them to find?

I'd like to know what the usual rate of false drone reports is in a typical town. Is this an average number of reports? More than average, and if so, why?

I work with lots of people who seem to have this attitude. When customers submit bugs that immediately think the customer is imagining the problem, or doing something wrong, or that the bug is magically a transient issue that isn't worth investigating or something like that. I think the reality is investigations are hard and sometimes yield nothing, but that doesn't mean we should jump to preposterous conclusions.
They don't define hardware in this project. It supports only nRF52840 for now, but I don't think it's too much tied to it and that it cannot be ported to something other.
You got it! (YGI)
No, but in the absence of that, it seems strange to unpin the denominator while leaving the numerator fixed and then presume that that tells you anything useful.
