Traditionally in aircraft design, you can't rely on adhesives for primary structural integrity. It's mainly because it's hard to ensure you glued right, it's hard to inspect.

Also we don't like it too much because it's harder to repair.

Adhesives are used, but normally for secondary structure, or as reinforcement to fasteners. So for example you'd ensure that a failure of the adhesive wouldn't lead to catastrophic failure, but it may lead to early cracks that would be detected in regular maintenance.

In the case of Boom they seem to rely more on adhesives than the traditional airframe methods. At the same time they are making a one-off demonstrator here, so they can afford to choose methods that need particular care and inspection, even if it would be unrealistic to expect that level of quality on a real production line.
All so true. The actual flight time is a non issue for me given the hassle of the airport. But I’m guessing this is for higher end travel, where skipping lines is the norm.

If you read closely, I did not dodge but instead suggested reading the design notes. It’s not worth arguing a point with someone who lacks the understanding of something. Once I realized that this was simply bias and the thread was attacks rather than sincerity, I answered directly.

Later:
My first response [1] included a direct answer pasted from the design notes - and it’s very clesr. Unfortunately, it won’t help if you don’t know what a Sybil Attack is. I incorrectly assumed that was basic knowledge in 2020 for anyone on Hacker News [2].

An orthogonal interrogation of course, but I pontificate: does specificity truly monotonically increase by specification of some gradient being monotonic, making the modifier "monotonically" not merely monotonically increasing with grandiloquence?

Yeah I've learned a lot about boostrapping working at a startup in college. The physics is completely different.

You have to be very very efficient. You understand why Heroku costs 3x of AWS. You understand that raising money is not necessary for every project. For most tourist entrepreneurs its just cargo culting.

(But deletable by their author) Also I love the font, the page is beautiful. I didn't know what the heart does, and FB 'like' buttons have made me wary of clicking such things. Very nice work!

Something like that could definitely be possible, although it would require a fair bit of work. You can build custom HTML templates for OG IMPACT under the Pro tier, which supports JS.

You could have the template accept the origin URL as a query param, download the page and then do any AI processing using related libraries / APIs. The risk is that this could be quite a heavy template, which could cause timeouts on social media platforms.

> dunno if those hopes are realized, feature-wise

Violentmonkey has all the features I need. I don’t know what features Tampermonkey has, but I can’t think of much more I could ask for in Violentmonkey. VM has:

• A dashboard page where you can remove, disable, or update user scripts.

• A CodeMirror editor with syntax highlighting for editing installed scripts.

• A ‘+’ button to create a new script for the current site.

• Support for scripts that use the GM_… functions like `GM_setValue` and `GM_registerMenuCommand`.

• Site-specific actions in the extension menu: enable or disable scripts for this site, run those scripts’ menu commands, or search Greasy Fork for published scripts that apply to this site.
Do the inverse of this and open a stand at a fair :-)

The surge in demand is being driven almost entirely by state unemployment systems. Most of these systems haven't seen a surge in unemployment claims since the 2009 recession and haven't had to change the underlying rules governing eligibility in even longer. Once the systems are patched and/or the surge in new claims subsides, 90% of this sudden demand for "Cobalt programmers" will evaporate. It's one thing for retired mainframe programmers to come out of retirement and work as consultants for a few months, it's quite another to start changing CS curricula nationwide along with launching mainframe bootcamps for career changers. I'd urge caution.

I saw a recent thread about running an X server on Windows for Linux applications, and this is sort of the opposite. You can run a Windows VM with GPU passthrough on a Linux host and if you want to run them side by side without switching windows, you can use a VNC window or other, but the problem is you don't get hardware acceleration. Looking Glass solves this by copying the Windows GPU frame buffer onto the Linux side so it can be read transparently. It's also open source.

Quickstart: https://looking-glass.hostfission.com/wiki/Installation
Reddit discussion: https://old.reddit.com/r/vfio

This only works on a Linux host with Windows. There have been rumors that Apple might implement their own version for running perhaps a Windows VM or other VM transparently on a macOS host but those are just based on some virtIO development that seems to be going on in macOS. Or maybe it's to virtualize iOS or iPadOS, who knows?

Personally I use Proxmox, which is a Linux hypervisor based on QEMU / KVM but with other features and a web GUI for administration, to run Windows, macOS, and Linux simultaneously, as well as host containers for side projects and other self hosted services.

I remember the "skipping version 9" in windows was due to many developers using "startsWith(os.version(), "9")" (pseudocode obviously) to detect windows 95/99 and therefore they avoid using version 9 in order to remain compatible, but I might remember wrong.
Does GPU pass through mean that gaming in a Windows Guest is still an good option?
I think of programming the Betamax(VHS rival) everytime I scrolled through the interface on 1990s/2000s printers. I built the nested file structure in my head rather than reading it on the screen. It has made navigating the digital world so much more natural(for me).

*The hard part of programming the Beta(and early VHS) for me was getting the family to leave the tuner on the channel I/we wanted to record.

I used to work at an environmental law firm in downtown Manhattan and accounting and other core financial systems were running on a VAX OpenVMS mainframe, and the document creation and storage was on PCs over a Token Ring, Banyan VINES network. The DOD was using VINES at the time. Memories of playing DOOM in 1994 downloaded from an FTP server somewhere while working the night shift to make backups on huge tape cartridges. The VAX system was pretty reliable and easy to deal with IIRC. A good thing from a hardware/help desk angle is that you didn't really need to troubleshoot terminals; they broke (keys or monitor) and required replacing. The mainframe was in the climate-controlled room, all in one place for any hardware servicing. I think Token Ring primarily was replaced because cheap, twisted-pair wiring made Ethernet less expensive. Token Ring had these twist-on bulky connectors. In a way we almost went there with Chromebooks basically being pared-down PCs and being served by a virtual mainframe, the cloud ("Spenser Confidential" movie "Give me the cloud scene" is hilarious).
It only works with a Linux host and Windows guest. I posted this on HN as well, and I wrote that there have been rumors that Apple might implement something similar due to development happening with virtIO drivers in macOS, so perhaps you may not have to wait long for a macOS host running Windows.

I ran the 3 OS using a Proxmox (Linux) host and three guest VMs.

> Backwards compatibility and API versioning strategies can easily handle this kind of situation.

From experience using Wildcard API (a super easy RPC implementation [1]), you usually don't need to do API versioning at all. Instead you always deploy frontend and backend at the same time.

If you have more than one client consuming the API this can get tricky though and then API versioning is necessary.

It’s worth scoping out what your site will need to do up front to some extent. Spending a couple of days setting up a basic background processing system (whether that’s celery, rq, or a home grown system) makes it easy to make great engineering decisions later down the line.

Questions like: should I send this email in-line in the web request? Get a very easy answer: no, just stick do it later. Sure, sending an email is probably fine to do in-line for now, but months in you may realise that things are slow, that you’re sending emails and rolling back transactions later, or committing the transaction but losing the email that needed to be sent, or all manner of other annoying edge cases. Queues don’t solve everything, but they can be an ok answer to a lot of stuff for a long time.

For basic sites, yeah maybe not necessary, but a reliable background processing system has always been a significant accelerator in my projects.

You are absolutely right. It doesn't hold water once you look at other professional programs. They all use the same math underneath and love or die to a huge degree based on their interface. Blender being free and open source opens up possibilities for people with no access to professional tools and researchers, but compared to the commercial tools out there its interface is a mess of inconsistency.

You could use something like async / await without Celery and Redis but Celery brings a lot to the table.

What happens when you want to retry jobs with exponential back off, or rate limit a task, or track completed / failed jobs?

You can wire all of this stuff up yourself but it's a hugely complicated problem and a massive time sink, but Celery gives you this stuff out of the box. With a decorator or 2 you can do all of those things on any tasks you want.

I use it in pretty much every Flask project, even on single box deploys.
It's stabilized under the current shelter in place regime, which will almost certainly have to be lifted at least partially for economic-political reasons.

When that happens my guess is there will be new waves of illness.

According to Wikipedia, German speaking fraternities have 190.000 members [0], which is around 0.19% of the population of Germany, Switzerland and Austria (EDIT: see comments below, most of them are "nichtschlagend", meaning they don't duel). Compare this to 34.000 students in the German empire in 1900, which was under 0.1% of the population. I would assume that not every student was member of a fraternity back then, so the number of active fraternity members was even lower. Now, I do not know if the 190.000 members include non-active members as well, but I don't think you can generally say that their membership dwindled significantly over the last 100 years. Also, after studying in a University town in Germany where fraternity live is still very present, I don't think you can generally say that these fraternities are reactionary and/or right-winged (although there membership is, on average, much more conservative than the general population). I only noticed one common denominator among all of them: a massive consumption of alcohol.

If Oracle had "bought" Perl they'd probably renamed it to Perl 32 by now and sued everyone else for using sygils.

The current numbering scheme uses odd minor version numbers for development versions and even for stable, just like Linux used to, until Linus got fed up with 2.6 after 8 years. Now it gets a bump whenever the minor version sticks too much.

is the inertia of rewriting these systems in a modern stack so great that it's cheaper to keep finding COBOL specialists forever? why not just sit down and rewrite these systems?
This happens a lot. The thing is the “crowd” becomes a somewhat meaningless concept when you attempt to assign it opinions. There are two different subsets of the crowd and only one is complaining at any time.

This can also come up in political contexts when some of your adversaries say something, but you don’t track which of them said it, and instead assign the opinion to [democrats, republicans, libertarians] as a whole. Next thing you know you think they’re all dirty hypocrites arguing in bad faith, and it takes an effort to see otherwise.
However usage overall for the day is down around 20%:
"But overall, the country is actually using less energy because of businesses being closed.
The National Grid reports that morning and afternoon electricity demand is down by nearly 20%."

Given there will be more people at home, watching more TV, playing more consoles and other electrical usaing appliances, maybe washing clothes more frequently... So I'm not sure that attributing all those working at home for the lunchtime spike is fair. After all - people are kinda stuck indoors - compared to lunchtime when people would normaly be out and about not using electricity as much. So all those adults who would be on a lunchbreak, children who even at school would be on a lunchbreak - all suddenly stuck indoors. I'd say that aspect would spike that period of usage way more.

As for the drop, well the question of is working from home more enviromentaly freindly and is it lower in electric usage compared to a big office. Probably.

But the real usage that makes a big dent would be large industry and with much of that shut down, then the real drop I'd expect would be from that area.

Though I'm sure much will be learned mining thru the data and learning so much after all this. Certainly see home working more acceptable and may be the case that companies are forced to make provisions by law under some government emergency planning edict down the line that it will be viewed over time in much the same way we have to have fire doors today.

What would be interesting would be had this been winter time and the impact of extra home heating during the day for many. That may well of been higher compared to centralised offices, schools etc. Though would be nice to know, I hope things don't go on long enough so we find that one out.
Responsiveness an Overview
That seems like a good resource, thanks!
What I mean is that if your backend is polling for a task to finish, that is also taking away time from other users. For some tasks that won’t matter because the backend won’t need to be aware of the outcome of the task but there could be some longer jobs that the backend needs to be aware of the outcome right away. You could get it so the polling is done on the front end and then passes the outcome to the backend but that obviously isn’t a good idea because then the backend is trusting outcome data from the front end.

If anyone is looking for another Celery post that goes over common web development use cases for using Celery there's: https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/4-use-cases-for-when-to-use-c...

The above post walks through sending emails out with and without using Celery, making third party API calls, executing long running tasks and firing off periodic tasks on a schedule to replace cron jobs.

There's links to code examples too in an example Flask app which happens to use Docker as well.
> Which is precisely one of the reasons GraphQL exists, so you can change the data queryable in your API without changing the data existing clients receive. If we're talking about moving from GraphQL to SQL then we shouldn't be throwing away this capability.

If you many different clients consuming the API then yes it makes sense.

But if you have only one client (usually a modern frontend or a mobile app) and you can deploy client+backend at the same time, than you don't need that anymore.

You can then use RPC without much of a drawback.
Any recommendations for handwriting recognition for Apple Pencil w/ swift?
I see a lot of comments that are talking about how python does not have a go-like concurrency story.

Fyi - python ASGI frameworks like fastapi/Starlette are the same developer experience as go.
They also compete on techempower benchmarks. Also used in production by Uber, Microsoft,etc.

A queue based system is used for a very different tradeoff of persistence vs concurrency.
It's similar to saying that the usecase for Kafka doesn't exist because go can do concurrency.
