Thank you for mentioning Kohn’s work.

It boggles my mind how super smart people just don’t get that human beings cannot be incentivized the same way rats and birds can.

Reward/punishments (same thing) kill intrinsic motivation. It has been proven countless times.

Providing feedback as in making something visible is another story altogether and can be empowering.

Speaking to people like an adult trying to manipulate 3-year olds is condescending, inappropriate and repulsive.
Should it not be the side they want the stay that had to prove irreparable harm? I see no evidence for this in the dissenting opinion.
Using AI to make a normal doctor a great doctor
Mostly because I look at it from the angle of one-off / general purpose / CLI programs. If one such has to run for 10-30 seconds and its memory just keeps growing and growing with the idea of throwing it all away at the end and letting the OS handle it, it might become disruptive for other programs on the machine.

For specialised apps and servers it's of course a perfectly good practice.
You say you're not a Haskeller, so I'm going to take what you say about the compiler internals with a grain of salt.

> And before you say "why not just break the runtime model", by e.g. having special debug functions that can do IO while presenting to the runtime as pure functions—well, it's not impossible, in theory, but it's a Hard Problem.

import Debug.Trace

square x =
trace "I'm a Hard Problem" (x * x)

main =

Yes. What GP is talking about though is changing the range of speeds available for pilot selection by changing the prop length, airfoil, maybe number of blades, and other design parameters. IOW, the design elements, not so much the operational element. Similar to how the C421 cruises at 1800-1900 prop RPM to give a(n eerily) quieter cabin.
It is not the 1910s any more. We don’t risk other peoples lives on exploration. Heroic though it might seem, it is ultimately foolish. We are already exploring the solar system with machines. And there is no reason to risk the explorers life for a more limited and more expensive ways to explore.
Also hobby lobby was not granted a stay as far as I’m aware, they had to wait for the final ruling.
I also highly recommend Complete Vocal Technique. It breaks down the voice in a unique way that I think particularly appeals to engineers and teaches you how to re-create any style safely by using correct vocal support, vowel choice, mouth position, etc...

My vocal coach (Greg Delson) is incredible and teaches Complete Vocal Technique. He does online lessons, group lessons, etc... that are worth looking into:

You actually want the gun stores to remain open. Why? Because closing them just feeds into the hoarding mentality that causes people to buy irrational numbers of guns when they are available. If someone feels like they can walk into a gun store any time they want and buy a gun with no hassle, they won't be in any rush. And for certain kinds of people, there's a big element of "the government doesn't want me to have this thing... here's a pile of cash, I'll take 12 and stick it to 'em".

Since you asked, the right to keep and bear arms includes the ability of ellegible people to buy them, along with ammunition, and make use of practice/training facilities.

Part of having a right means you don't need to explain it to anyone else. You can exercise your right, and if someone is curious why you did what you did (past tense), then you can choose to explain it to them. Nobody gets to ask "why" as a condition of exercising a right; otherwise it's not a right, it's a privilege.
It isn’t, but then again, in 1995 we might have said the same for expirations in 2015, and yet so, so many poorly managed CAs were expunged in the past 5 years.

A healthy root store would set revocation at a much more aggressive period; say, every five years. Every three years, the CA applies to have their new root trusted, which gives two years to distribute that root to clients that need it, while having the old root sign the new root, to support an immediate transition to the new root. Among other things, this encourages a more robust and healthy CA ecosystem, because you don’t end up with lopsided balances based on “who has the oldest root.” That imbalance encouraged poor behavior which got CAs distrusted, in the past, because they behaved in a manner that assumed they were too big, by virtue of being too ubiquitous, to fail.
My Apple Mail bug is with changing passwords on Exchange accounts. I change the password, Apple Mail prompts for the new password, then uses the old one to connect.

I have to quit Apple Mail and use the accounts pane of preference panels and cancel when it prompts for the new password as it has the same bug. Then I can click details and change the password. That works.

I realise that, but nowadays language servers are a pretty normal practice in no small amount of areas.
SpaceX has actually very openly admitted to all of their previous failures in this area: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvim4rsNHkQ
Well yes, of course you can do that. But at that point, why would you reference third-party font URLs, instead of self-hosting them? (The article pretty much begins by stating that this is the fastest option.)

If performance is your utmost priority, forego web fonts entirely. If you value performance but want the benefit of a web font, self-host your CSS and fonts. If the convenience of Google Fonts is appealing, the suggestions here can improve first-paint performance. Different projects will have different trade-offs.

Did you mean Van Halen's famous "WARNING: ABSOLUTELY NO BROWN M&Ms" clause?

That might be the case, but it doesn't take a genius to realize that you can turn a bigger profit by making your rockets reusable. Boeing isn't even just a "legacy defense contractor"--a massive part of their business is commercial airliners. That hasn't gone well for them either lately.

I think the more reasonable explanation for Boeing is that they already have access to ULA's proven launch vehicles, so designing a new one just for Starliner wasn't necessary. I think Boeing just chose a more conservative strategy while SpaceX managed to out-innovate them.
There are more ways to go then that: AST fragment caching, intermediate representation fragment caching and so on.
Incremental updates fit some languages better than the others.
Soyuz still uses UDMH and nitrogen tetroxide as its propellants. It simply jettisons the propulsion module before reentry so the reentry module has no thruster system and therefore no (toxic) fuel.
With the return of a SpaceX vehicle, the recovery crew don't have suits on, that would be very unwieldy at sea, and they would just back off if trace gas detectors measure a toxic leak.
You have to be in the right frame of mind. I think it can help to look at it like a series of short stories, each one building up a psychological or philosophical premise under the surface that is then layered onto by the next.
I would be astounded if there were no space hotel projects shopping around for finance already.

Although I think given the likely customer profile we're at least as likely to get Vegas-in-Orbit - casinos, hookers and all - as labs and exploration.
My unsolicited advice to the folks on this thread that were moved by todays launch: make time to travel to Florida and see one of these launches in person. If you have kids take them with you.

Years ago I took some time out of a very busy schedule to see STS-130, the last shuttle night launch. I've always been a space nerd but I wasn't prepared for how seeing, hearing and feeling a launch in person was so different than watching it on a rectangle. And I wasn't prepared by how profound the experience would be. It was one of the best on-the-whim-of-the-moment decisions I've made in my life. Do it. I guarantee a lump in your throat.
Yes, especially when they say things like, "If you see the community, or the people, as a single organism..."
Doesn't a full battery carry more electrons and is therefore heavier?
I think using AE for text generation is a good idea, and is pretty old one (I tried it myself back in 2015 without particularly good results), but I wouldn't call it a breakthrough. To me a breakthrough/new paradigm would be something like this: https://arxiv.org/abs/1906.05317
The model X is more expensive, but it’s not $100K more than a new Honda Odyssey. Heck, it’s not $100K more than your current Odssey! The X starts at $80k, while the Oddysey costs somewhere between $30k and $45k.

It’s only the top of the line performance trim that costs $100K.
jemalloc is the answer to the question you did not ask
Most small aircraft accidents are completely preventable loss of control (either by taking off with too much weight, stalling during takeoff, or stalling during landing) or flying into IMC (instrument metereological conditions including clouds, fog, etc.) and becoming disoriented and losing control. Simple engine failure is something that every private pilot trains for.

Improvements in training can significantly help with both. Instrument training in particular drastically reduces the risks of inadvertent IMC. Some technology also assists with the latter (eg; synthetic vision on foreflight on aircraft with garmin G1000 cockpits gives you references for how the plane is positioned and any terrain around you you could hit).
Thank you so much, I'll ingest this into my system, haha.
Also, very cool results, that's really impressive!
I'm a computer engineer by trade (primarily FPGAs), so it's always great to see other FPGA engineers (hi!). :)
It did but the shuttle also could never leave LEO meaning it could never go to the moon. The heavy can.
We're visiting the Scranton area right now, to see if it'd be a good fit for us to move to. Anything you'd recommend for two techy people to check out? (Tell us all the hits, even if you think they're closed for COVID)

> The post is about changing code style formatting rules for code that goes into the Linux kernel. Not guidelines, rules.

Then it is about absolutes, the rule is absolute, but 80 width is a guide... being used as a rule.

I'm surprised the first to challenge the rule is about grepability and not how detrimental it is to legibility to use this as a hard rule.
Especially once you get an idea of the scale of the rocket. It's taller than the statue of liberty. Imagine a 24 stories tall building flying into space and landing back upright.
While this is I’m sure true, the main point is about knowledge transfer. New people come onto the job, and they need to learn how to do it, and their skill level will always be basically zero. The question is, how do they learn how to do it, reading books or having a mentor watching over them? Certainly having a mentor will make that far easier, but if all the people who knew how to do it are now retired or especially dead, this isn’t possible, and so it becomes considerably more difficult for a new person to learn.
Is that the 2001 Spolsky one? Still relevant?

Amongst my many weaknesses, UI is the weakest.
Exactly, a case of broken security by overdoing privacy.
Show HN: How I used Java to build a side project
Fire rules take into account many factors to ensure the health & safety of the people in the building. A hard cap on attendance (it's 25% or 100, whichever is smaller, by the way) during a pandemic is another example of accounting for factors to protect health & safety.
I’d pretend to be a sincere flat earther if there was a chance for a free flight to space
No. Aside from the fact that the weight of the electrons, although not zero, is negligible, they also don't get "lost" in the process... they just get moved around, in the case of battery power literally from one end of the batery to the other. Combustible fuel in contrast, gets turned into gases (CO2 and H2O) which are blown out the exhaust and thus lost.

What about tooling? Haskell being such a powerful language would take off a lot more if there was a very hand-holding, Jetbrains-like IDE that gave you everything you needed and pointed out the problems in your code in real time. Or at least that's what I think, having never worked with haskell in a professional capacity. What are some day to day devtool stacks like in real companies?
This brought me back to the time my SO tried to explain an 84 year old lady she was assisting what is it that I do for a living.

The consensus was that I'm a writer.

Also there's one thing I ask everyone seeking to get into programming: "are you resistant to boredom?"

This appears to be a good predictor of future success.
Imagine if there were large fields (or lakes) every few hundred miles designated as drop zones where huge battery packs would be parachuted down into and recovered every couple weeks, from cross-country commercial flights.

I'm sure there are a million problems with it, but you never know.
Exactly. Ublock and privacy badger is trying to make the browser a user agent again.
I like where you were going, but sorry - it’s really not a meaningless question at all.

Programming is a skill, and produces tools - tools that help people communicate, inform, solve problems, and more.

(Also, no global community of programmers? Maybe not a single overarching one, but there definitely is one.)

Maybe I’m misremembering but in 2017 I think the maxed out Model X was $138,000 and my Honda was $45,000, so almost $100K difference.

Google has, in the past. Look at the ChangeLog for 1.0.0 - the massive improvements made (around PKITS) were sponsored by Google.

Google has a healthy Patch Rewards program ( https://www.google.com/about/appsecurity/patch-rewards/ ) that rewards patches to a variety of Open Source Projects.

Google also finds a variety of projects through the Core Infrastructure Initiative ( https://www.coreinfrastructure.org/ ), which OpenSSL is part of https://www.coreinfrastructure.org/announcements/the-linux-f...
> I hope we can move away from the "elon sucks" v.s. "elon is a genius" dichotomy and into a culture of acknowledging accomplishment while insisting claims in other areas be fully justified.

Until then, I'll happily consider Elon's or even John Carmack's opinion over those of Elon's numerous, noisy but otherwise uninteresting critics on the Internet and elsewhere.

What's the tech scene like there? Are there interesting nerds building things? Hackathons? (of course, before COVID). We spent 2.5 months in the area during COVID, so we didn't get a great feel for how nerdy the town is.

Most piston engine aircraft in the country require, by regulation, 100LL. Oil companies and the FAA have been working for years to develop a replacement and came very close a couple years ago, but since the FAA strongly favors safety and reliability over almost any other consideration it takes a very long time to collect enough data to have confidence a potential replacement is truly equivalent. We have ~80 years of safety data for 100LL.

Generally speaking, airports are reluctant to spend money on a second set of tanks, pumps, etc. required during a transition period; though some have - particularly in the midwest where there are a lot of less regulated homebuilt aircraft that can burn alternative fuels.

A lot of pilots would love to burn something else. 100LL is relatively nasty and builds up in engines, shortening their life. It's even actively discouraged to burn 100LL in some more modern small aircraft engines like the Rotax 912 and pilots like myself who run that engine look for non-leaded fuel whenever practical because it's healthier for the engine. But well maintained aircraft last just about forever and the legacy fleet is absolutely enormous.
Hmm, interesting. I can’t tell, though, if that question means, “do you not bore easily?” or “do you avoid boredom at all costs?”
I really like the FZF approach and did some nice git integrations myself. Nothing close to this post, this is great work!

But I find that lazygit does everything I want and more, better than I would have designed it!

Not only is it hard to tell how many users are bots, but how many users supplement their account activity with bots or third party integrations. A lot of users who have business accounts will do this. For example, realtors will post updates under their own name, but will also have services that will schedule and post content for them automatically for new home listings. This will only get harder to determine as time goes on because marketers nowadays are focusing on "humanizing" their customer interactions as much as possible

The Constitution protects religious beliefs not religious practices. Restrictions on religious practices was considered acceptable.

Fair enough. `->` is core syntax, not a library function. It means `->` if you're a Java guy or `=>` if you're a Scala guy.

Just search for it the same as you'd search for it in Java or Scala.
I can really do fiction books that fast.

If I really push I can do a 350 page book in one day of about eight hours.

I do take breaks if I have a need such as eating, or the rest room.

I do not speed read. My strategy is to sit down, read, and get done at some point.

Non fiction is a bit different, and depends wildly on the topic, how familiar I am with the topic, and how dry the book is.

I also enjoy nonfiction podcasts, and talks which I play at 1.5x speed while doing things like bike riding, or cleaning.

I don't think there's a particular reason to read a book in one weekend. For me the outside world kinda just fades away as I do it like it does when you binge a lot of things. But if you don't have the time or that ability, shorter chunks, even a chapter a night or splitting it over multiple weekends seems like a good idea to me.
Awesome! Private rockets and now millonaries can go to space!
It is indeed very interesting how the russians milked the same cow so many times, the propaganda maschine drove the nationalist spirit high, by launching the same rocket over and over, first it was a dog, then the first man in orbit, then first spacewalk, then the first woman in space. It was literally the same launch over and over but it made people happy. :)
It's not really the Supreme Court's job to interpret a religion's sacred texts and tell the adherents that they're doing it wrong.
Depending on the style, this can be difficult. Human audiences respond to vocals which convey passion. A lot of times, passionate singing strains the voice.

Singing judiciously limits you creatively in the short term. Singing passionately can limit you creatively in the long term, as you burn out your instrument.

> As I said above, if your code is loaded down with tons of long lines of code, it's likely a symptom that something else is wrong. If code is difficult to read, it's bad code.

Isn't perceived difficulty of reading code correlated with how familiar one is with the language it's written in? For example, code may be harder to read for someone who lacks experience or is new to the language, but it's not difficult for someone who is experienced and is familiar with the language.
I wonder if they tried shell sort? IME it's so close to bubble sort in implementation that you can view it as a trivial optimization.
"If you build it, they will come" suffers from confirmation bias.

You can easily look back at things people have built and people have come to (computers, planes, cars, etc)... But there are far more things people built that no one came for, and which we don't even know of because no one wanted them.

Solar roadways is an example of something that was an infrastructure project that was built out in a few places, and by all accounts was a failure.

The concorde seemed like an obvious "build it, people will want it", but in reality people didn't come for it, so it was retired.

And there's countless other examples, from 3d movie theatres, to dotcom ideas to all the things we don't know of.
Agreed. I trained under an opera singer in college, which couldn't be further from the genres of music I play in, but the underlying principles of bel canto singing were transformative for me.
