"The Concorde was what the airlines, aircraft makers, and the public wanted. It was fast. It was expensive. It was a trophy project. "

There's a difference between aspiration and market reality.

'The Public' never actually wants a 'Trophy Project' to the extent that they are not willing to actually pay for it out of their own pockets. Yes, they might like the idea, but what matters is "are people willing to pay the price"?

I suggest there was probably a lot of hubris in the project, that said, there's probably a lot of demand these days for such a thing.

There are a lot of hyper-rich people and they desperately need status.

Also, in Finance, there are a lot of 'important people' who's time is actually valuable. With long-flight times what they are, doing an Atlantic or Pacific run 'very fast' actually is just 'worth it' even for the company paying for it.
You're just reiterating the cynical mindset that I'm recommending against, because it's:

a) Atrophic to one's career

b) Just a generally miserable way to live as a programmer

I don't believe things are so bleak, and I think people would benefit from being open to that possibility.

These students should not be considering the college their longterm home anyway. They aren't supposed to be putting down roots. They are students. It's supposed to be a temporary thing where you earn the degree and then move on to the next chapter of your life.
Without plugging away at a specific language, I'm a fan of https://github.com/hecrj/iced. It's native cross-platform (Linux/Windows/Mac) and compiles to wasm for web support. Native as in no web rendering - it renders its own widgets via wgpu - but that's the compromise for easy cross-platform support.

You use one interface for generic compatibility. This doesn't work for all cases, so you can also choose to add platform-specific code via conditional compilation to make sure that each platform's specifics are handled with intent, where you need to do so.

It's exactly what you're looking for. Early stages - file support is a little rusty (pun intended) - but it's coming along fast.
> Has anyone found a non-criminal use case for blockchain yet?

As others has pointed out, DeFi is impressive, though still mostly fueled by speculation at this point. Digital collectables is another (think digital trading cards with limited supply). Might sound silly at first, but could prove an economic lever for artists and game designers.

> Preferably one that isn't better addressed by a single Postgres instance?

And here's the problem. Blockchain is expensive. A central, trustworthy server is going to be ridiculously inexpensive in comparison. For all the cost, the major benefit is resilience.
> somehow I doubt very many companies are going to give you that time off and pay for your trans-Atlantic trip on the Queen Mary 2.

Honestly, I'd guess that depends on your job function, whether you can work effectively remotely, and the cost of the ticket.

As a remote employee, I can totally see justifying it to my employer. It wouldn't be typical, but if it costs about the same and the trip there and back would involve me getting as much or more done than I normally would... I'd definitely pitch the idea, and don't see any reason why it would be out of the question.

In fact, I'm making a mental note to investigate the cost when/if I need to attend a conference or something in Europe.
Yeah, we have a concept in common law called legitimate expectation that is quite similar to the point you're getting at. Don't know about the U.S.

Having recently been on the right side of a judicial challenge, I must say that in my non-lawyer view, it is quite a powerful check on a decision-maker's discretion.

Paper offers a different level of expression. The comparison is thus not equivalent.

Auto renewal doesn't help here.

Credit cards expire, e-mails get deactivated, addresses change.

If you're not getting notices about your domain expiring in the first place, auto-renew isn't going to stay working after your credit card expires, which is only a couple years.
I'm not sure I understand the distinction. If there are differences in 'population-level' intelligence, then some populations are less intelligent, correct?

If some populations are less intelligent, then it is OK to not hire them in the tech industry.

In your opinion, how do you tell the less intelligent populations from the more intelligent populations?
Drag is higher, but jet engines are more efficient at higher speeds which compensates for the increased drag. Overall propulsive efficiency is at a minimum at mach 1, above that it starts increasing again. Beyond a certain point (supercruise) you get higher overall propulsive efficiency than at any subsonic point.

Identity of the invisible god Hacker revealed
I'd hate to be "forced" to return to my home country, but why can't these students just study online back in their own country, then come back for in-person classes sometime next year once covid is under control?

The reason for excluding all-online classes is that historically it's been associated with much greater immigration fraud.

If this really becomes a big issue for students, it's pretty trivial for the universities to turn their online classes into "hybrid" classes that require people to physically come to campus in a safe way - e.g. "residency course requirement: at some point in the week, every week you must come into the university and sign the attendance log website from a device logged into the campus wifi" .

> I do not want to support a movement that had any opinion on how I or anyone organize our family life

You belong to a culture and a nation which already enforces strong opinions on how its members organize our family lives. Therefore, it's a fair question to ask how effective those opinions are, and whether different opinions might be more effective.
Because of my lousy memory I've been doing several versions of the same for a long time. It's the most impactful thing I've done in my various jobs. Early in my career, a reputation for good records put me in charge of projects, with remarkable levels of autonomy. Early career $manager tends to appreciate junior reports who invest in their own accountability.
It's ok to not forcefully grow your income, but stagnating income is correlated with your skillset becoming outdated. If you haven't worked on your network or your interview skills, you can find it hard to find a new job. In addition, a less career-oriented person would find working on those less enjoyable than keeping their skills up to date and likely do them even less.

The reality is that software engineering automates software engineering jobs the most. As a result, people in this industry do highlight the importance of not neglecting your skillset.

However, I wouldn't take that as them trying to maximize their revenue. They've simply found that they need to do a deeper analysis on skills to not get automated out of a job.
Covid could have been used to win reelection by simply accepting that it was a problem and leading everyone through the challenging time. The wartime president boost. Something else is going on here, like foreign interference (I hadn't bought into this theory before Covid) or neurodegenerative disease.
I mean that when we are in the middle of a pandemic most likely deaths are frontloaded in that those that are going to be affected the most, will most likely be the most effected by now. If that makes sense.

So it's more of a thing to keep in mind when comparing mortality statistics of an in progress pandemic to past pandemics.

Why?

The great thing about local responses is that many different things can be tried, and different cultures with different viewpoints can be respected. When one organisation 'coordinates' the whole world, everyone can be wrong in unison. There's a lot of evidence that this has been happening with the WHO, but it's not just them.

Some of the most valuable evidence generated in COVID times is from comparing different countries to observe differences based on what they did (or lack of differences).

The WHO is an example of what one world government would look like: not a beatific utopia ruled by neutral and dispassionate experts, but incompetence and disarray unchecked by any sort of accountability. Remember: the WHO isn't run by a doctor but rather a former Ethiopian minister of finance. It has routinely made announcements that not only contradicted other health agencies and researchers but contradicted itself, as of a few weeks earlier.

For example, the WHO's report on non-pharmaceutical interventions prepared in pre-COVID times says:

https://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/handle/10665/329438/9789...

"Pandemic: Not recommended under any circumstances: contact tracing, quarantine of exposed individuals, entry/exit screening, border closure"

For a mere epidemic they also don't recommend internal travel restrictions of any sort.

In other words, the WHO recommends against lockdowns. When faced with a virus that spreads in exactly the same way, and which it soon became clear was of similar severity, they haven't gone back and changed their beliefs nor prior advice though.

I've already made a similar comment elsewhere in this discussion but I really don't get why most of these things is better stored in a commit message than, say, as a comment in the code itself, which will always be here even if I'm just browsing through the code by following a call stack or if the file gets copied into another project for instance.

I don't "git blame" all the code I read all the time, and even if I did one small refactor or variable renaming is enough to make it tricky to track the original change back. Comments are forever.
Having people is a step before that.
Well there might be the context you're missing. You're looking at this as a software developer. I can tell you from a ops standpoint I get blocked daily just because of some small information missing/needed to be checked. Slack solves this. (If you're in the same timezone... Which is not always the case and slack falls apart here.)
I'd probably just call it flavorful. Might be described as "warm spiced" on a restaurant menu because of the first four spices, which are often included in blends called (among other names) warm spices.

I might also call it spicy because of the chili pepper.
The government doesn't bankroll air travel, at least not in the same way. I believe the quoted statement is referring to propping up the prices of flights via the pre-deregulation era. The government no doubt supports airlines in plenty of other ways, but the mechanism has changed, as have the behaviors it incentivizes.
Right decision and all universities should follow suit to help the students.

Why do people instantly jump to the extreme negative? Any technology can be used for to do bad things. The community is aware of this possibility and have taken precautions. Also any financial market can also be viewed as an assassination market. You can short a stock and assassinate the CEO and profit, but people don’t actually do that in practice. Also, Augur v1 (V2 is coming out this month) has existed for about 2 years and there were no assassination markets on it. The community would resolve them as “invalid”, so it’a not possible to guarantee profit unlike in the regular stock market.
Being strong. It's like a secret super-power (not that I'm STRONG, just better than average) and it strengthens your bones and makes your body more robust in general:

“In robust training for this life, which is itself a continual fight with some form of adversary or other, the aim should be to form that solid and adamantine fiber which will endure long and serious attacks upon it, and come out unharmed from them, rather than the ability to perform sudden and brilliant feats, which often exhaust the powers in show, without doing any substantial good.”

>The biggest group of people who do like the regulation seem to be EU citizens who want a reason to feel superior to Americans. It's unfortunate nationalism. We're all on the same side against the large corporations.

But you have an even extreme law in US for health data, you protect your health data that is generated in the health care system but if you google some symptoms, buy online some health products, read/watch some health related pages you are fine to be analyzed and sold to advertising? There is the example with the supermarket that detected some girl is pregnant in "leaked" the data to her parents and that is fine for you = but if a doctor would have done the "leak" it would have been a serious issue.

GDPR is not as extreme as HIPAA it just makes all personal data "problematic" and you can't do whatever you want with the data in secret.

GDPR surfaced all the hidden shit to the surface, many wanted the shit to stay hidden, now people can see that not only websites sell my data to a third party, they are greedy you want to sell it to 100+ different third parties - it makes you stop and think if maybe you want to close this tab or use a private window.
It has chili peppers, so you certainly can call it spicy, if you want to highlight that aspect of the flavor specifically. But you don't need to limit yourself to one word, especially when it seems like this dish has a lot of different aspects to it, so you could also use others like "spiced" or "warmly spiced" to refer to the flavors like cinnamon, cumin clove, etc, specifically or that a lot of such spices were used.

This (undesired) effect was occurring within Biosphere2. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosphere_2)

"This concealed the underlying process until an investigation by Jeff Severinghaus and Wallace Broecker of Columbia University's Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory using isotopic analysis showed that carbon dioxide was reacting with exposed concrete inside Biosphere 2 to form calcium carbonate in a process called carbonatation, thereby sequestering both carbon and oxygen."

Back in my DBA days, I used the MSSQL equivalent, "Linked Servers", to set up regularly scheduled ETLs. It's a nice way to reason about tables since you can test your joins in real time. The only real implication here is performance, as someone else mentioned in another comment, joins can be quite slow. In my case my ETLs were usually once daily and the fact that they took 1 minute instead of 1 second was not a huge deal.
Again incorrect! Look at the data. In what universe is having 12x the fuel burn (per unit of time) or 5x (by mile) “more efficient”.

A Supercuruising Concorde has higher fuel flow than a (much much larger) 747.

Your whole “engines more efficient at higher speed” argument is totally unsupported by facts. Supersonic flow is a major problem is jet engines. They have to use special very-high drag inlets to slow it down to subsonic velocity to actually combust.

The air being thinner doesn’t help, either. It’s basic chemistry... every unit of fuel you burn requires X units of oxygen. The density doesn’t really matter - except that denser air moving slower decelerates less and thus causes less drag.
