I’m not sure what you mean by “strict” here... Certainly one can use JavaScript from TypeScript, and even provide type information for the JS with declaration files. [1] Does a “strict” project require something beyond this?

However, the citation points to an article from The Register circa 2019: https://www.theregister.com/2019/03/11/windows_10_on_kvm/

So who knows?
Lower cost to orbit, sure. Increased economic activity in orbit? Where does that part come from?

It's not like we haven't sent people to the ISS before. And it's not like SpaceX hasn't managed to reuse hardware before. It's basically just a mix of those two things.

Really the most significant things about this were that astronauts were launched to space from the US and it was a private company. And out of those, the first thing is really more symbolic than anything else.

The ISS is about 400 km from the surface of the Earth. Mars is like what, 225 000 000 km?
> ... whenever you cannot decide what you should do, choose the action that represents a change, rather than continuing the status quo.

As a heuristic, this is kind of rough: what does it mean to say you "cannot decide what you should do"?

How hard have you tried?

If this research was mutated into a piece of folk wisdom, I bet it would be interpreted as advising that "change is preferable, so don't overthink it."

But, that would be the wrong conclusion to draw. It's better to make important decisions after getting as much information as possible, and using rational decision-making strategies. So, it's likely always more effective, though more work, to try to push back the boundary of when the word "cannot" becomes applicable than it is to just say "fuck it, let's do this".
Yet, they acknowledged it was a mistake not to consider them.

US police have been receiving advanced training in Israel. The changes in tactics, gear, are all part of this training.

This incident in MN with United States citizens getting shot at on their own porch is a much milder form of thuggery — it was not legal application of force — that Palestinians have been living with for decades.

Karma.

Cómo llamar a un ascensor en Inglés

I'd write the question as

¿Cómo llaman a los ascensores en Inglaterra?

We have a few similar jokes like

¿Cómo llaman a los mosquitos en <Country>?

Wrong answer: Mosquitoes

Correct answer: Nosotros no los llamamos, ellos vienen solos :) . (We don't call them, they come by themselves.)
It's probably not controversial to say that Wikipedia is the "best" encyclopedia.

What differences between Wikipedia and OSM do you think prevent OSM from becoming the best map?
not sure what you are talking about. it shows me couple of random websites which i have never visited (eg asana ? and selseforce twice this day ?) which makes no sense or atleast completely random to entice the visitor

Thanks, it is what happens when one doesn't check dates. :)
Sure, there are likely many small advantages that add up. For example, 3 flat panels and a few buttons probably weigh less than a metal panel full of dials, allowing for a better payload ratio. That technology wasn't available during the Mercury/Gemini/Shuttle period for any price.
Racism is in all our hearts — what’s important is in developing calm relations with your own strengths and weaknesses so that you can work on yourself if you choose.

Embracing this human weakness is part of developing the structures to keep us accountable.
A large part of that is the extra frame of latency added by the compositor. One experiment that I'd very much like to do is try to get Windows to promote a window to using hardware overlays (this is sometimes called "DirectFlip" but the public documentation on it is very sparse) and see how much that helps.
What’s the point of inhabiting Mars if it’s inhabited by a society no one would ever want to live in?
There is no doubt what I do is programming. It's similar in some ways to SQL, but the tool I use enables me to implement much more complexity than possible in plain SQL. It actually enables a lot of the functionality available in a procedural language like C, but within a structure built around database manipulations and joins. In this way it breaks the bounds of memory constraints and becomes a big data programming language. Admittedly, I don't have to type out individual commands, but that's a good thing. The logic is the same, but the development time is much less. It enables you to concentrate more on the algorithm design while the command syntax and other minutiae are handled in a much more efficient (and maintainable) manner.
I'm sure an easy workaround would be to use Houston as a relay rather than direct communication.
You can try to compare it to macOS all you want, the comparison is still wrong. For starters, I can't just go to Apples website to download an image that will boot on my PC.

"Linux" (as in Kernel) no. Distributions yes. Just look at their websites when downloading.

>Linux will have that marketshare regardless, because 99% of Walmart PCs Karin buys simply come with Windows. If the reverse was true, guess what marketshare Windows would have?

Still Windows. But this is a purely hypothetical question, nobody knows if the software world would have developed differently if Windows would not be preinstalled.

To add though: it's not easy to tell who are the non-violent and who are the violent protestors. Sometimes violent protestors hang out in the crowd and only strike at opportune moments. If they're blurred out like everyone else during the times they are not violent then it becomes harder to hold them accountable.
Auditors need auditing too.

A single precision-recall curve isn't an immovable fact of life. You can bump up the whole PR curve with money, for example spending on customer support and letting people fix issues when they're being harmed by google maps's mistakes. When I said "It's impossible to be the good guys at scale for free, so of course we can't be the good guys," I wasn't arguing that it is in fact possible to do it the way google is, just better. The argument is that doing it with a different business model or just not doing it are also options. Who knows what emerges? Maybe there's an alternate universe out there where google introduced an automatically gnerated encyclopedia and wikipedia was relegated to an openstreetmaps-like background, while people on alternate-HN argue about how alternate-google simply can't do any better because of how fundamentally hard the problem is (and it is fundamentally hard, no argument there).
This is a pretty common setup for BIOS boot loaders. grub2 typically embeds itself in this space[1] for BIOS based booting.

I recall Elon was hoping to get an order of magnitude reduction in cost per launch, but Wikipedia claims it costs $160 million per launch versus the Soyuz price of $76 million per astronaut. That would “only” be a 3x reduction with a crew of seven, but they’ve configured for a crew of four, which is a hair under 2x.

I wonder how reuse affects the math, and what they’ll be able to do to lower those prices further. Obviously the optics on getting a domestic launch for half the price makes it an easy sale for Congress, but we were all hoping for more.
An order of magnitude reduction might have gotten us 20x as many launches.
open-source Lato font

That'd be a really nice touch, one of my favourite fonts for effects. Released after client who commissioned it, a chain of retail bookstores, rejected the design. Largest deployment till now, although just dumped in redesign, was for headings at classifieds website OLX. Caught eyes for a while I guess.

No need then for an especially legible font for cockpit screens like Airbus required https://b612-font.com/ following decades of practices in avionics. Of course the use-case is different and I'm sure everything is adequate for SpaceX goals. Like with the several layers of spontaneously rebooting virtual machines in Tesla cars, in the end branding looks gorgeous.
Time zones are not the sole constraint we have, and many of those constraints are not ones that we can simply waive by mutual agreement. For example, some activities we engage in are restricted to regulated entities in some countries, and those restrictions are things we have to thoroughly understand, sometimes negotiate, and plan for prior to onboarding employees in a particular jurisdiction.
I just saw a video with cops throwing up distinct white supremacist hand signs. I guess nobody told them they aren't racist.
Happiness or wellbeing are such difficult concepts to measure and compare that I don't think you can ever arrive at a specific, generally-applicable ratio. But that doesn't mean that being aware of loss aversion (and the way it may be shaping your assessment of a decision) isn't helpful in reaching better outcomes.

I agree re regretting inaction. There are lots of nuances in how this seems to work as well - see https://psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?doi=10.1037%2Femo0000326.
Yes, spam was an issue, though at least for me commercially available filters made it more than manageable. Today, even with my addresses being on public sites for close to two decades, dnsbls and Thunderbird are enough to bring spam landing in my inbox down to 0-5/day, and about half of those are using AmazonSES, Sendgrid, Mailchimp etc (only mailchimp seems responsive to complaints), with something like 0-5 false positives per quarter.

Google false positives on the other hand are a pain in the butt. Even sending from one GSuite account to another on the same domain does not ensure delivery (but makes it much more likely than using a dedicated server that has low traffic to Gmail). I've adapted and now use my own Gmail account if I need to send email to Gmail users that is somewhat important.
They mentioned something about the suit pressure for one of them being lower than expected and asked them to check for "white teeth" on 3 zippers, which they reported seeing on all 3. Can anyone explain what that is?

Is there an easy way to link to a specific time in live videos? I had to manually play around with the time to find the right point.
Mb the ppl who work on that application should invest a little bit more time in learning how to use C++ properly. I know it sounds a bit silly but if you deal with C++ you should learn it first enough to use it in the right way, or just switch to another programming language, Go is a good candidate.
So when seeing this I had two questions, one of which I've found the answer to, one of which still remains a mystery.

1. Why only two astronauts? and

2. How much is Crew Dragon costing?

For (1), it's stated [1] that Crew Dragon has a capacity of seven astronauts but only 4 for NASA? How does that work? Does that mean the NASA configuration only has 4 seats? I found this [2] saying seats 1 and 4 were empty.

Why not 4 astronauts? The answer seems to be that this is technically a test flight (Crew Demo-2). Passing this will fully certify Dragon. I guess it's better to risk 2 astronauts than 4. It probably also depends how many people you want to have on the ISS.

As for (2), I found this [3], which states the cost at $55m per astronaut. This seems... high? A full complement of 4 would cost $210m. Falcon 9 launches cost a fraction of that. Even Falcon Heavy is ~$90m.

For some reason I thought SpaceX was enabling sending up 7 astronauts for <$100m.

Compared to Soyuz [4], which cost NASA $80m/astronaut, that's a saving but not as much as I would've thought.

I would love to see better funding for education everywhere, But, no, that's not the real root of the problem.

To see the real root of the problem, compare the USA to other western democracies such as in Europe. The structure of society is very different, the nature of poverty, the number of people living as an economic underclass, the acceptance in the USA that poor areas of cities will just be fucked and that's normal, the presence of a never-ending source of ignorant, and often racist, people from small-town America, and the presence of a never-ending source of guns. Of course a lot of the above is related to the lack of a strong belief across the voting population that government should protect and support the poorest in society.

Things won't change in America until the above changes meaningfully. That would require the majority of the population to start thinking more like the liberal half, and there is no reason to think that that will happen any time soon.
Sure. But K&R, Jensen & Wirth, the 68000 chip book, the Camel book (Perl), and so on, were more like GDR books, except with better paper. The expensive hardcover books, in my recollection, became popular later - 1990s, maybe. Certainly in the early days, if you wanted to learn C, you reached for K&R.
That's just the ship telemetry tab that's crashed. The tab with YouTube still works (undoubtedly playing "Space Oddity").
I’m a local. Here’s some additional context:

“Follow up on video of people getting rubber bullets shot at them in their doorway from a source that was there. This was personally texted to me. Source is a teacher that works at my elementary school.

Here’s what was posted.

‘That is my blue house across the street. Apparently this video has gone viral. What they didn’t show was the 20- 30 minutes of the rioters that surrounded the houses, were all over our neighborhood, the street, rioters running through my yard and screaming on the other side of my garden level bedroom window, and hiding in my alley. The neighbors are saying they were ‘just having a beer outside,’ as if this came out of nowhere and while it seems extreme from the national guard/police, the rioters were flooded in our neighborhood and they were trying to get them out. That was terrifying, and to be honest after being at the Minneapolis community clean up today and seeing all the burned down buildings, I am glad nothing was burned down or broken into. And they got them out. Idk who is out there at night! And yes black lives matter!!!! But these riots are scary AF. And they haven’t returned and are gone now and we are totally safe, and all had been quiet for hours. And apparently my upstairs neighbor had no idea the rioters were here at all ... #minneapolisriots #blacklivesmatter #georgefloyd #helpusall #feltprotected”

Edit: apparently, additional information is... controversial? I don’t agree with the police conduct, but there is additional context here.

Sure. I'm just interested to know what else in EXIF could be identifying.
Having internal prejudice which you wish to understand and eliminate, versus actively and purposely organizing or facilitating violence against people of color, are drastically different things. The long history I'm referencing is not people who have hidden prejudices and need to face their demons, it's people who are malicious toward groups of people for their race on purpose.
I have lived in socialist-era blocks which are notorious for humidity issues and mold. But a mere drying rack placed next to the window will not produce enough humidity to cause problems if you leave that window open.
I'm not keen on the glossy finish, but at least the umbra colored one has a nice matte finish that feels very good in the hand. Plus the black nib looks great.
> 3 year old hardware is still very new by Linux standards

I agree, and hence my claim - Linux have excellent support for the hardware it supports, but in general it is not lagging behind Windows in that dimension due to restricted access to required information.

Except when they don't which is all to common (let's not even talk about OSX).
I am one of those commenters that sees everyone describing the same problem in different ways, for decades, and nothing getting done.

The problem is centralization.

The solution is open source alternatives.

The issue is far beyond Google, or Facebook. It has to do with us being used to renting software from server farms far away. To tying infrastructure to control over data. To having large corporations that own the infrastructure be in the middle of all our searches, transactions, data hosting, relationships, conversations etc.

If we don’tdo anything with open source, we will keep pearl clutching in 5, 10 years.

When it came to voice conversations, we completey rethought the topology of phone company operators connecting circuits and moved to packet switching and VoIP. This led to a precipitious drop in prices. There was a time that a phone company was considered a canonical example of natural monopoly. No longer. And the costs went to zero, along with their power over your calls.

We need to completely rethink the topology of the Web. And eventually that includes DNS, which is a glorified search engine. There are projects out there that are doing something about all this.

Up til now you may agree with me. But now I mention that my company is extremely far along in doing just that, and you can grab the source code for free, or get involved by emailing me. I post a link and that’s when I will probably get downvoted. I am not sure why, but my best guess is that it is for “shilling” real free open source solutions to this problem instead of just talking about it:

(I mention the downvotes because it happens every time I link to more info aboutthe software. I’d love to have a substantive conversation with the people downvoting, understand what I can do better. Please try to leave a comment if you think I’m doing something you’d rather I not do.)

(EDIT: Well, that didn’t take long. The downvotes are always silent. It’s almost like there’s a cabal out there determined to bury any mention of decentralization, but who intentionally wants avoid any discussion.)
That’s where you missed it: it is not reasonable to give unlawful orders, it is not reasonable to order someone on private property to go inside. They can request folks to go inside. They cannot order it until their powers are elevated by law. Might doesn’t make right.
