Considering the difficulty of aerial operations on Earth (namely balloons/zeppelins are vulnerable to weather and using airships as aircraft carriers extremely risky and tricky) I think you're underselling the practical difficulty of living in the Venusian atmosphere. We should be able to master these matters on Earth before trying it on another planet.
To me it looks more like it isn't that easy to gather people to your cause as you affirm.

After all you argue against everyone like myself, with games development experience, as apparent in several games related forums on Reddit and who knows where else, and yet don't get anyone to pay attention.

Yes I am perfectly alright defending industry practices, try to offend me won't change anything on the games industry.

If you want to change anything start a revolution, writing comments is easy.
Artificial constraints systems like Dogme can be remarkably effective focusing tools.
I do point out that US vs AT&T did first major anti-trust settlement in 1913, and the breakup ultimately happened in 1984, or about 70 years later. So maybe we'll see Google breakup too in 2084 or around that time..
I don't really see this as similar to the way many of FPGA applications are done these days. The approach in FPGA is more along the lines of implementing the same logic as the original CPU as opposed to microcoding / emulation.

Do you ever stop to consider what those conversations mean to her? I'm 43 and only started calling my parents more than once every couple weeks in the last 2 years. They tell me the same stories but that doesnt matter; their happiness is rooted in us sharing time together. I imagine they tell the same stories because as they are older they have fewer new things to share and they dont want our conversations to end. So they repeat something we talked about the week before.

But hey, if your feelings about your time and what's important to you trump having perspective on how someone else feels...
Apparently Alameda County was already working/planning on having Tesla resume operations on May 18th as well. But Musk had a knee-jerk reaction to the fact that they had different rules in place than the State(which listed manufacturing as resuming on the 18th prior) and, as he often does, made the situation worse by his rash instincts.

It's clear his current instincts, or at least under certain mental states prone to shifting, is that Tesla knows better than Alameda County. Who are they to doubt Tesla's amazing back-to-work plan that worked in China?! Except Musk and Tesla are not in charge of public health. They are not elected officials that are on the line for ensuring a Tesla outbreak doesn't spread to the rest of the county/public.

It takes time to for the government to vet plans and coordinate this stuff. The tweet was unnecessary.
Curse words are bad for human life because they seem like tools of cognition, but they aren’t. When used as words, they can only confuse and mislead you.

However, sounds that aren’t words can be very useful—they are perceptual evidence that we use in our reasoning. We identify groups of perceptions by differentiating them from other perceptions, integrate them into concepts based on their similarities, and assign words to represent all of concretes of that group.

So you have many “noise” experiences from yourself and in human interactions, identify some as happy, and now you have a useful new tool of cognition in the form of “happy noise”. With additional experience, you can refine that into many sub-concepts, like “pleasurable moan”, “contented sigh”, “silly giggle”, and so forth.

Curse words are different because they are just noise. If I say “happy noise”, you know broadly what I’m referring to. But if I say the word “fuck”, you have no idea what that word means—you would have to make guesses either based on the surrounding words that have semantic meaning, or based on how I said it using your conceptual knowledge of the kinds of noises.

That’s why you see curse words used in every kind of context as undifferentiated noise.

With my kids, I tell them that using any word they don’t understand is a curse word. It hurts their own life if they make the noise of advanced words they don’t yet understand, because it introduces ambiguity into their thinking.

For more information on the role of precepts and concepts in human cognition, I suggest reading “Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology”.
Is this still true? I know they strove for this 15 years ago, with much success. From what I've seen in the past decade, I highly doubt that this is still true. And I'm not speaking of Google's products, but other aspects like their culture, the opinions of academics, media reports, etc.
During WFH, I realized I was getting a sore mouse wrist. I tried Logitech's vertical mouse, but it made things worse. I switched back to my work setup with a Evoluent C mouse and a MS Sculpt keyboard without the ten key. The theory is that for right-handed mouse use, you get better alignment. I was eyeing some ergonomic mechanical keyboards, but a lot of them were pretty weird, and after the sore wrist, I wasn't up for trying something new.

tl;dr: no ten-key and vertical mouse really help.
Yes, and there is already an opened Pull Request to https://github.com/smallnest/go-web-framework-benchmark/pull...
I'd love to see something like the entropy of words actually used by people who use common crutch words (e.g. fucking, literally, whatever) more often (somehow correcting for the fact that people who use any set of words unusually often will have lower entropy).
"Fun" idea. Would love to see an ETF based around this too.
Came here to say the same thing. It's weird, I loved the effect. I showed it to my partner and she found it terrifying though!
If you want to implement a complicated computer you have two choices: you can create a complicated logic circuit that does what you need (this is called "hardwired") or you can create a far simpler computer and program it to emulate the complicated one (this is called "microcode").

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microcode

Since the simple computer will only ever run one program, the emulator for the complicated computer, it can be very specialized. That makes a microcoded IBM 360 very efficient compared to a Z80 emulating an IBM 360, for example. Normally microcoded machines have a tiny special memory to hold the microcode program, from less than a hundred to a few thousand words in size. The Gigatron has its "microcode" in the EPROM while the emulated code is in the RAM.

I've been using a Dell 13" Ubuntu 4K laptop hooked to a 43" monitor as my main work web development system for a year and a half. All of my co-workers use Macs.

Pros: compared to Macs using Docker is very performant especially when sharing the host file system for development and once I found Regolith (https://regolith-linux.org/) I don't think I could go back to a normal windowing system.

Cons: non-Electron cross-platform apps seems to get short shift on Linux. For instance, the Zoom client is buggy and seems to be the last to have new features rolled out to it and I CANNOT for the life of me get my Microsoft mouse's scroll wheel to smooth scroll correctly.
I find it sometimes interesting to skim through trivial (praise/reaction) and nontrivial (response/correction) reply-all threads to gain a better understanding of the social dynamics, attitudes, etc. across different departments in a company.

In other words, while they aren't always useful for immediate work, they sometimes help with metawork.

(1) Relative size. Solid fuel is much more energy dense. In this case, if the nozzle was for liquid then its tank is so small that it would burn out very quickly. So it is likely an SRB. Note the other nozzles for the relatively wider center tank.

(2) Shape. You can look to the shape of the nozzle to see which altitude it is optimized for. SRBs are generally optimized for lower altitude.

(3) Throat diameter. By following the shape of the nozzle towards the tank above you can estimate the throat. SRBs have wider throats.

(4) Gimble (not seen here) SRBs can be steerable but they don't 'gimble' the same as liquid engines. Their nozzles are moved rather than the whole engine (see shuttle). So any moving nozzle bits suggests an SRB.

So ya, there is much to read from just the nozzle. In fact deep in the CIA there are probably some experts with magnifying glasses studying pictures of a North Korean rocket nozzle doing exactly that.
What about just using Google Sites? They have updated UI and improved functionality quite a bit. You can even link your own domain.

The simplicity of Gigatron is compensated by the large memory that was extremely expensive.
Without commenting on whether I agree or disagree with anything in the article itself, I do find the rhetorical sleight-of-hand curious: the writer is effectively asking the reader to "take the shutdown skeptics seriously" by articulating the same points that "shutdown skeptics" have made and that haven't been taken seriously.

Or, put another way: despite the prevarication, the author clearly _is_ a shutdown skeptic, of course they want shutdown skeptics to be taken seriously!

What do you mean with "the other things governments spend money on"? That's infrastructure, education, welfare. The 10 billion is not free money but taken from taxes, so please make a good case for spending it! Surely any intent of not being honest about the cost/benefit will backfire and discredit future scientific projects.
KDE has their own plasma distribution, I've never used it but it seems like a solid option
Gnome should be annexed by KDE so there is some focus in the community.

KDE is faster, more feature rich with a sensible architecture, but it still is flawed. No sensible defaults, too many convoluted and unmaintained apps etc.
I’ve been using Fedora for over a year with KDE. Before that it was Kubuntu for a year. The difference is night and day in my opinion. I believe this is due to the constant updates on fedora that fixed many annoying bugs I had with the ubuntu install. The downside is that you are likely to get a kernel update about once a week, it honestly hasn’t been an issue and i’m a college student who needs essentially 100% uptime on my boxes. But in my opinion it’s the perfect trade off since it’s not quite rolling but still on the cutting edge for the most part.
Alt text certainly wasn't intended for this kind of use. Screen readers don't cope with newlines in alt text particularly well, most just stop at the end of a line[0]. Also more care has to be taken when escaping the contents of the attribute, it's something people will definitely get wrong.

For Linux on the desktop, I can't say enough good things about ElementaryOS. It's beautiful, defaults are good, compatible with Ubuntu.

Especially if you're coming from MacOS, my experience is that it feels familiar, comes with all of the just-works, and as a bonus you can be in full control of your OS if that's what you want.

There is actually a name for it: "the resource curse." You can even see it inside the USA by looking at the corruption and poverty in those states that have an economy based mostly on some kind of resource extraction. Oligarchs sit at the top and enrich themselves with the cooperation of bought politicians and other officials, and things like education or any attempt to diversify the economy are neglected as there is (to the oligarchs) no need. The money is flowing so who cares if the schools suck, the water is contaminated, and the people are all dying of opiate overdoses...

io_uring still has its wrinkles.

We are scrambling right now to fix a problem due to change in behavior exposed to user-space from the io_uring kernel module in later kernels.

Turns out that in earlier kernels (Ubuntu 19.04 5.3.0-51-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP) io_uring will not return short reads/writes (that's where you ask for e.g. 8k, but there's only 4k in the buffer cache, so the call doesn't signal as complete and blocks until all 8k has been transferred). In later kernels (not sure when the behavior changed, but the one shipped with Fedora 32 has the new behavior) io_uring returns partial (short) reads to user space. e.g. You ask for 8k but there's only 4k in the buffer cache, so the call signals complete with a return of only 4k read, not the 8k you asked for.

Userspace code now has to cope with this where it didn't before. You could argue (and kernel developers did :-) that this was always possible, so user code needs to be aware of this. But it didn't used to do that :-). Change for user space is bad, mkay :-).
The NRE on consoles is pretty high, for the Nvidia tablets all the upfront costs of the OS have been fronted by Google and Nvidia hasn't been able to position their SoCs as a competitive processor given there have been almost no designs aside from their in-house products.

If wide open hardware and appstore was a recipe for success Android would be a clear winner. However if you want to ship a title where you get the most out of the platform and you can rely on the platform to be stable from both HW and SW perspective then curating that space seems to be a recipe for success.

It's be really neat if all the console hardware was wide open, however there's a bunch of hurdles there that tend to lead towards curated platforms being more successful.
That.

I've been using the KDE spin of Fedora for many years!
> Going to break a little bit of a lance in defence of 'scienticism' in a mild sense given that a lot of the comments here overwhelmingly agree with the piece.

> I think there's a lot of benefit to science as a methodology or process even in contexts where science might not seem readily applicable. The author takes as an example issues of justice. While it's true that there's something fallacious about trying to reason about oughts from scientific principles there is I think a lot of value in grounding these discussions in scientific process. The reason for that is that scientific principles force people to avoid 'language games' or rationalisations and provide a common formalism to make 'progress'.

> People often use 'scientism' as a prejorative for a sort of cold, broken calculator like mentality, but a scientific account of justice, grounded in biology, evidence about punishment and so forth would almost certainly be more humanistic, forgiving, and productive than say, religious debate or ad hoc moral justification, which has led to some of the more cruel treatments in our history.

> The author also I think makes some basic mistakes about the nature of science, she says for example:

> "But too often those elegant mathematical models turn out to be based on assumptions about “rational economic man” true of no real-world economic actors."

> This is true, but not really a problem. As Milton Friedman put it: "Truly important and significant hypotheses will be found to have "assumptions" that are wildly inaccurate descriptive representations of reality, and, in general, the more significant the theory, the more unrealistic the assumptions (in this sense) Why? Because such hypotheses and descriptions extract only those crucial elements sufficient to yield relatively precise, valid predictions, omitting a welter of predictively irrelevant details. Of course descriptive unrealism by itself does not ensure a "significant theory"

> Believing in the 'rational man' is no mistake of scientism but like believing in a perfect sphere. Somewhat absurd and evidently not found in the real world but nonetheless useful as a tool to form theories.

A lot of what you have stated appears to rest on the assumption that the other disciplines have no methodology, as well as inserting false dilemma.
I’ve found Linux to be a really good machine for development. Windows with Cygwin is a good mixture, but windows file locking, and the lack of bash (and some tools) really have made it a pain when developing back on Windows.

At this point everything “just works” for me on Linux (Using Kubuntu) and is super stable. I don’t game much, and proton has worked for everything I need.

This was generally my entire college experience. There were a few pockets of fresh air, like my philosophy classes. It was only after graduating that I started to notice people slowly coming around to the idea science is a useful, but not exhaustive tool, for developing ethical frameworks, world views, principles, etc. And the attempts to use it strictly to do so (the pockets of hyper-rational logic out there) leave much to be desired, at least in my opinion. What surprised me most was how often practitioners of science, not just those “for science yarr” types, got caught up in the whole thing.
Ask HN: Is SEO important to consider as a podcast host?
We recently launched a podcast to complement our SaaS app. We went with the default website from Simplecast which looks good but it's not optimized for SEO. Most of our listens come from our social media promotion.

Good of them to release this, and I have a dog in the race about getting people to think higher-level about security, but ATT&CK, STRIDE and other frameworks tend to be solipsistic, self propagating bullshit.

I would also argue that quantitative security risk models serve mainly as a corporate laundering system to obfuscate risk, do not have any meaningful predictive power, and that security compliance has become a make-work field for the unskilled, whose role is to be both an easy mark and a scapegoat for reckless corporate behaviour.

Hopefully it will mature to where designers and engineers themselves build in mitigations, the way some of them have with environmental and safety risks, but as a business, I think security is due for some scrutiny.
Good context thanks

Dynalist is great. I'd use it, but I've been burned enough by "free" plans in the past, and $100 a year is a lot more than I'm willing pay when org-mode is available for free. Plus I have to be online to use Dynalist.

I can't speak for the VS Code plugin, but I'm not aware any limits on depth in Emacs. I can't say I often go more than four deep. If you mean zooming (the killer feature of Dynalist IMO) it's possible in Emacs. You can turn the current subtree into its own org file.
> The vines in the pilot farm are yet to flower, which is when pollination occurs.
