There's a really simple strategy to this.

One at a time move pitch, yaw, and roll to zero (with 0 velocity). Before touching any translation buttons.

Never touch the pitch yaw and roll buttons again. Start moving x, y, and z translation to zero using transnational thrusters. Make sure you zero out y and z before you get close to zeroing out x.

> No, C++ destructors are used for finalizers, not memory management.

In the original comment I may have overstated this. I was ignoring the other uses of destructors because the context of the discussion was memory management. But memory management is a huge portion of what destructors do in C++. Consider a vector of strings (`vector<string>`). The destructor deallocates the memory for all the strings, then deallocates the memory for the vector.

> No, a program that does pointer chasing and has to deallocate many small allocations is badly designed. If you are going to do that, using a GC language would be much better.

How do you deallocate all of the nodes in a binary tree? As far as I can tell, you either have to pointer chase or use a custom allocation strategy. At some point with the second option, you're basically creating an ad-hoc garbage collector.

But I think we may be in vigorous agreement here, since my comment was about the general tradeoff between garbage collection and tracing data structures. I was trying to defend the original assertion that with tracing, "freeing the structure takes time proportional to the number of pointers in the structure it has to chase" while "garbage collection [or at least copy collection] takes time proportional to the live set".
Alacritty makes claims about throughput, which is different than latency, and then uses the word "fast" which can be confused to mean either or both. Alacritty's benchmarks are based on how much text it can process being output to the terminal per second, which it is much better at than most terminals. However separately I think it might be true that kitty also has better throughput, while having better latency and many more features, this is just based on talking to a friend though I haven't tested this.

China plans to launch the first part of their own space station next year. [1]

They actually wanted to join the ISS effort, but were given a firm no and had no other option than to do pursue their own. [2]

I don't think we will see any other country-specific stations for a long time, but modular commercial stations that can be shared for research and potential business endeavors (hotels, specialized manufacturing, ...).

If efforts like SpaceX Starship actually succeed in very significantly lowering launch costs, that is. Right now it is simply not affordable either for nations or businesses. A single Starship would actually be a great temporary space station on it's own, comparable to the ISS in usable area.

He wanted to share similar experience with the caveats up front. Concept of free country, free world, free internet :)

I had similar reconnaissance but now I hesitate to share. But challenge accepted, worst case is downvotes :) 4 years back, maybe 5 I used to think this is how old age was (would not mention my age but it is younger than the main OP), body slowly unable to do what is used to be able to do. Then after 2 stents and change in lifestyle, I find I can do same or more than what I could do 5 years back, maybe a decade back. Will it continue like this for next decade, or the decade after that? Who knows? But there are many things within the that are in the range of probability and it is on us to push towards the higher end of the range. For those who start disciplined, it may not make much of a difference, but think of an average person ... I think programming at 70 should be feasible for most as long as they fixed their lifestyle by 50. [Most but not all because this is a game of odds]

Shadows in space aren't, in general, any sharper than on Earth. The "penumbra" of a shadow -- the blurry, partially-shaded region -- is basically a simple geometric effect, caused by the light source being partially obscured. The penumbra's size is approximately equal to the product of the light source's angular size and the distance from the shadow-casting object to the illuminated surface. (Diffraction has some effect as well, but only on very small scales that aren't particularly relevant here.)

The sun has almost exactly the same apparent angular size from either Earth's surface or LEO, because it's almost exactly the same distance away. But since that angular size is only about half a degree, shadows observed at short distances appear fairly sharp, either on Earth or in space.

What you may be thinking of is that, in many cases, shadows are darker in space, because the sky is dark, even in broad daylight. There's no atmospheric scattering to provide indirect, ambient illumination of regions that are shaded from direct sunlight. But there can still be indirect lighting from other surfaces.

For example, in photos of Apollo astronauts on the moon, shaded regions of the astronauts' spacesuits are still fairly-well illuminated by light bouncing off the lunar surface. But shadowed regions of the surface itself appear almost pitch-black, because the only thing they can "see" is the dark sky.

Depends on the HOA's, which I would avoid at all costs.
The problem of getting to Mars is bigger than “just do more spacey stuff in space” though. There are some massive physical limits, in terms of fuel efficiency, that make it really really hard to get there and come back. That’s the main challenge and I don’t think SpaceX moved us particularly closer on that point.

I’m in my forties and I don’t expect to see us on Mars in my lifetime, except on some poetic suicide mission (nice sidestep of euthanasia laws: “I’m not dying, I’m going to Mars!”). We might make something a bit more useful out of the Moon, though, if we don’t screw up too much.

Yes, you could brute-force all the points. The good thing is, ECC is done on fields that are very large, so that actually enumerating them is not practical. Check out Curve25519[1] for some numbers.

Well, not exactly. First stage has 27 Merlin 1D engines.
SpaceX developments have a clearly defined goal with most engineering and production decisions made according to mission + cost constraints. The space shuttle development had dramatically changing requirements from multiple stakeholders (cheap launches, crossrange capability, recovery of military satellites, etc.) with production facilities based on jobs in voting districts. As impressive as the space shuttle was from an engineering perspective, from an economic and safety standpoint it was a complete desaster.
Probably high EQ, superb communication skills, and indicators for independent thinking would be better.
I think that's an extremely unhelpful oversimplification. There isn't some subset of humans (as a high enough percentage of the population to be considered) that's simply missing empathy. At least in their own minds they are good people, so that's where they have to be met.

So IMO we need to start by assuming that they DO care, but they have different assumptions about the difficulty and danger of police work. They live in safe communities and go into cities and see poverty and homelessness, mental illness on the streets, read about the gun crime, and think that it's scary. They're not entirely wrong.

Where they ARE wrong is in failing to realize how often police officers are the ones to create violent situations. Why did they use force over a counterfeit bill? Why would they bust into someone's apartment in the middle of the night over a drug charge? Unless there is an in-the-moment violent situation going on, they should not be entitled to use force. They should be required to wait, plan, and deescalate. The last thing they should be allowed to do is play out their masturbatory fantasy on the public. If that makes police work more boring, so be it.

It depends where you fall between 'wanting to do something with models like GPT-2' and 'wanting to understand where we are at with NLP'.

If it's the first, you should look at HuggingFace, which package transfer learning in a very accessible way to use.
But I'd say that's probably too a big leap from no experience at all to that.

I think it’s a cause, not an effect, because the US has always had very high levels of violence compared to Europe, long before we even had professional police forces and formal police training. It’s definitely not the fault of any one group, though, because the problem has been widespread across various times and various groups.

I would be interested to see the quote. Was he hoping for a 10-fold drop right off the bat for the first mission or rather for that drop "à un moment donné". I imagine the costs will continue to go down with time for the base model as things become more reusable, R&D costs drop, and more business comes their way.
This has been covered fairly extensively in alternative press over the years.

I find Gitlab UI quite a bit bloated and slow compared to Github. They have some amazing features but I can't get past how many (2-5 seconds) to load a page and sometimes upto 10 seconds (analytics). I hope that's being addressed in future. Usually, I spend at least 2 hours on Github in a given day - and probably access the website about 50 times a day or more. These UI issues add up tremendously.

The fact that so many Chinese people's opinions of their country differ so markedly from what you would expect, based on what you read in Western media, should at least lead to you reevaluate your own views. What you're saying is that Chinese people who have lived in the West, who have seen Western coverage of China, nevertheless are much more sympathetic to their government than you would expect. Doesn't that pique your interest?

I'm not going to paint a rosy picture of China, but the view you get in most Western media is extremely heavily distorted, and almost completely out-of-touch with what is actually going on in China, what most people in China care about, and so on.
> a single company that started a decade ago as a side project for a guy who was trying to make electric cars after making money on the internet.

I believe this is backwards, SpaceX was created first and it was implied in the biography that it's more as if Tesla was the side project.
Hmm it reminds me of the culture of fostering changes that are

Where do you mean? If it's a shadow caused by the light of the Earth it will be very fuzzy due to the size of the light source. Even shadows from the sun will be fuzzy if the shadowing object isn't close to the shadowed surface, as the sun is no further away than on Earth, and hence much bigger than the point light source needed for perfectly sharp shadows.

If you mean the contrast between lit and shadowed areas, LEO is quite different from e.g. the moon, as even though it's out of the atmosphere, there's a lot of ambient light from the huge close Earth below.
It's the Monty Hall problem effect. When you take an action, you choose from a small set of options. When you stay with the status quo, you are following a Markov chain than has not been narrowed by your choices (which is worse on average).

> I don't follow. The new function has 9 different modes of operation to be tested. I don't see the relevance of the distinction between unit tests and integration tests.

The alternative is to decline to test them all, of course, risking a trade-off between bugs and baggage.

Even in this trivial example, there's a bug resulting from inadequate testing. [0] Perhaps in this example we might be confident enough in the independence of the two parameters that we wouldn't bother testing all 9 combinations, but my general point stands.

I think what he means is that, in unit testing, you only test code units in isolation to each other, with the tests assuming the other parts that your unit-under-test interacts with behave exactly as the unit-under-test expect: If you had n producers that could plug into one of m consumers, you'd test each producer in isolation against a mocked consumer and each consumer in isolation against a mocked producer. That will give you n + m unit tests, which is indeed linear.

Of course this hides the fact that in practice, you'll have n * m different modes of operation, so you'd need n * m different integration tests if you actually wanted to test each possible interaction.

You can get away with only testing units in isolation if the interface/API/protocol between producers and consumers (in this example) is well-defined and rigid enough that implementation details in one part really have no effects on the other part. I think there is lively debate how well this is possible in practice - in effect, this is the whole point of standardized interfaces. However, even attempting this is often a lot harder than it appears and therefore shouldn't be done if not necessary.

That being said, I think it's important to keep in mind that you can almost never write tests for all possible configurations that a program could run in, if your program is non-trivial. You get combinatorial explosion pretty fast, even if you don't use any abstraction at all. And after all, the whole point of a program is that you can feed it with novel inputs without knowing what the exact output will be - becasue finding out that output is what you wrote the program for. So you'll always have to think about classes of inputs and restrict your tests to (hopefully representative) examples of each class.
Meanwhile, if you try to share a link to the cringey propaganda site joebiden dot info in Messenger, your message will be blatantly censored. Facebook doesn't care about free speech.

If gsync is enabled for windowed applications in the nvidia control panel it actually synchronizes to the active window not the rest of the OS. This can actually be pretty problematic if your not a single app at a time user which is why it defaults to turning on just fullscreen gsync when you toggle it.

Hardware acceleration or not probably doesn't play into it as much as how abstract are the layers i.e. are there 4 layers of hardware abstraction library to make the app work everywhere which use it's own buffering to stay smooth regardless of the underlaying system and then hands that to the OS which then buffers it as part of the compositor to be displayed or does something just blit "n" to the display framebuffer as the latter is likely to have less delay/jitter.
Comparing 'Chrome html input' to VS Code in the article, it seems like Chrome is capable of rendering typed text with low latency. This seems to imply that the high input latency in VS Code can't be due to low level GPU and rendering pipeline issues brought about by electron, and must instead be due to processing VS Code is itself doing every time you type (syntax highlighting, semantic things, layout?). If this is true it seems unlikely monitor refresh rate or gsync could help.
One police officer was shot at in Minneapolis (14th and Lake if anyone’s local). They missed and were quickly taken down. The weapon was recovered.
I agree; but it is possible to have a lawful order to control someone on private property. An example was the Boston bombing manhunt where police were doing door to door searches because there was a specific, articulated threat in a defined geographic area (note, I don’t know that’s the real legal test, but I’m sure it considers factors like that).
As explained in the article, “filming ethically” might mean, for example, keeping the faces of bystanders out of the shot and things like that. You’re attacking a straw man.

I think there's also a fundamental misunderstanding on how many of these organizations work.

When I worked with the Feds (DOJ), we documented out many "what if" or contingency scenarios. They ranged from "effectively impossible" to "absolutely happening" on one axis and irrelevant to omgwtf on another. My terminology, not official ;) But we were encouraged to explore situations and scenarios and think out the likelihood, implications, relevant existing policies, potential responses under those policies, what new policies would make sense, etc. For the most part, these are creative/exploration exercises but sometimes they're deadly serious and will drive policy going forward. You don't always know at the time.

Fast forward 5, 10 or 20 years and something similar happens. Suddenly someone who happens to remember the report or get creative searching archives screams "OMG! THERE WAS A REPORT YEARS AGO AND NO ONE LISTENED!"

Correct.. but it was never a proposal/plan, just an evaluation.

Unfortunately, understanding all of that requires nuance and perspective that doesn't fit in a headline and will be buried in policy wonk discussions. I suspect if you expose all of that and give it as much attention/credibility as fully baked proposals and policies, it will chill honest, internal assessments and debate.
They did a leak check and one of their suits wasn't 100% sealed so it had a lower pressure differential to the capsule during their tests meaning there was a seal that wasn't completely sealed. The teeth thing is that they use different colored teeth on zippers so they can see visually when they've closed the zipper fully. They said it was still within the margin of keeping them protected during an emergency though.

Well, our scenario is that the app is not updated, so that's kinda assumed. What usually happens is that distros drop apps due to old library version, and if the user needs it, than the user has to build all the deps, and most users can't do it.

I didn't know Arch had older versions - most distros are very eager to drop, since supporting (or even compiling) these huge frameworks past EOL becomes harder and harder.
