You can accelerate so slow down. The flyby of a planet creates an accelleration that, if in the correct direction, results in a slower orbital velocity in the sun's reference frame. In really simple terms, if you approach the planet from the right (in a counterclockwise solar system) you speed up, if you aim to the left you slow down. The velocity is transferred to/from the planet.

Notice how the probes orbit gets more eccentric but still smaller each time it approaches a planet on the left. The gravity assist is slowing it down, again in the solar reference frame.

DoH/DoT over Tor will provide stronger security and privacy guarantees across the board, but a well run .odns (anycast, good caches) could probably provide better performance.

The .odns anonymity is strictly weaker than DoH-over-Tor because the .odns operator can see which recursive resolver is in use, and not all such resolvers serve large enough audiences to provide strong anonymity.

The .odns requests are also very easy to identify, monitor and block, and it's likely that metadata (query size, timings) will still leak a fair bit of information, especially if correlated with other network activity.
TSMC is in a much shakier position than the US. It makes more sense for the US to bear the mantle given the geographic proximity and commercial entanglements between Taiwan and the USA.

In practice I believe this action doesn't reduce the soft power of the USA -- everyone knows the immense sway that US demand has on Taiwanese foundry companies.
I had to use Vivado once and it was the most miserable experience I ever had with a development environment. Even Haskell has better IDE support. Vivado is super unintuitive, it's slow as fuck, it has none of the basic editing features modern IDEs sport and it has very heavy handed enterprise DRM like you would normally find on CAD tools.
The claim that "it's a real thing" doesn't mean anything other than that some people exhibit certain behaviors that some other people decided to group together, give them a name, and put it in DSM-5. None of this refute GP's claim that "that's what they call mouthy rebels these days".

It would be interesting to know what percentage of journalists/new people, are active on Twitter. I would expect them to be over represented given the amount of reports based or citing tweets, but I don’t know.

I think you may be underestimating the fact that many people have been writing CSS for well over a decade now, and that it has evolved considerably since they first read a web development tutorial. If you've not been paying close attention (or not been able to), there are many things that will have passed you by.

It's a blessing to learn css fresh today, in as much as it's a curse to still have practices from ten years ago still lodged in your memory.

I concede this is ridiculously pedantic, but the system you're talking about is called "gust supression", and uses the flaperons (not the ailerons) in coordination with the elevators. The ailerons are only used for turning and are so far out that trying to use them for altitude control would probably just move (and stress) the wings.

It's a very cool system though!

PhD is overrated in the deep learning context. It is more about forging the intellectual resilience and ability to pursue ideas for months/years than learning useful things/tricks/theorems.

Medication allows therapy to be effective. And it depends where on the spectrum you are. Just going to therapy and talking won‘t change anything. For me a main symptom is and was the inability to take action on existing knowledge. Therapy can’t fix that.

Treatment of ADHD without medication needs action accommodations from the school, teachers, friends, boy scouts and parents. And it‘s not possible for every parent and every school.

If you feel emotionally numb because of the stimulants your dose is probably too high and it should be adjusted.

But I agree with you. The treatment can‘t be just a pill. It needs at least to be a pill and education for the involved parties. And especially education for the patient. So they can adjust their treatment and lifestyle according to their needs.

>By August 14, the recording of Reagan's joke had become world news. On August 15, someone who the National Security Agency described to US Representative Michael D. Barnes as "a wayward operator in the Soviet Far Eastern command" sent a coded message from Vladivostok that said, in part, "We now embark on military action against the U.S. forces." Japanese and US intelligence decoded the message and raised the alert state in that part of the world; Soviet naval vessels in the North Pacific, on the other hand, contacted Vladivostok in confusion. The US never saw any evidence of Soviet attack preparations, and the alert status as promulgated by Vladivostok was canceled within 30 minutes.[3]

>Initially, on August 13, the deputy minister of Soviet foreign affairs (Valentin Kamenev) told reporters, "I have nothing to say."[5] By the next day, though, President Reagan's leaked comments were denounced by the Soviet government, Pravda, Izvestia, and TASS as "unprecedentedly hostile," as evidence of the United States' insincerity at trying to improve Soviet Union–United States relations, and as abuse of the office of the president. "Western diplomats" described the Soviet response as over-the-top, suggesting it was an effort to give themselves more collateral at the negotiating table with the US.[7] US officials were compelled to mollify the Soviet Union and assure the United States' Cold War adversary that "Reagan’s offhand remark did not reflect White House policies or U.S. military intentions."[8]

Shoelace author here.

A couple days ago, I released Shoelace 2.0, an open source library of common UI components.

These components work with any framework, can be loaded via CDN, are fully customizable with CSS (no preprocessor required), and install easily with a simple script + stylesheet. They were built with Stencil.js, which is a fantastic tool. The end result compiles down to vanilla web components.

Each component was designed from scratch to be lean, customizable, and easy to use. Accessibility is a common question folks have about component libraries. I’m definitely not an expert here, but I've spent a lot of time trying to get it right. I would like to echo the experts and say that accessibility only starts with components, but hopefully having a good foundation to build on will encourage others to think about it more at higher levels.

I hope you'll take a second to check it out! I'm happy to answer any questions you have about the project, how it's built, etc.

I've never been happy with a front-end dev that I've paid six-figures to.

I once paid a senior front-end engineer far too much to do a fairly involved layout. Three months, an uncountable number of bugs, and one unusable tangle of Sass later I pulled the plug and swore off ever hiring a "CSS Person" again.

I took the Linus+Git approach and said "I'm not writing another line of Python until I understand CSS." After a few weeks of study (I read CSS: The Definitive Guide cover-to-cover) I was able to implement the layout in, and I'm not exaggerating, two hours. No bugs, responsive, cross browser support, etc. Flat out done.

I went back to the dev and asked why they tried to implement it with over a thousand lines of Sass using Flexbox over a few lines with CSS Grid.

It went like this:

Me: "Hey, why did you choose Flexbox over CSS Grid for feature XYZ?"

Senior Front-End Dev (SFED): "I used a grid. Bootstrap's grid."

Me: "No, CSS Grid"

SFED: "Like the 'display: grid' thing? I don't know how that works."

I've never met a CSS Person who has read a book on CSS. Or one that can do the arithmetic on a simple flex-grow/flex-shrink/flex-basis combo.. Even with a cheat sheet.

I'm a back-end dev, I used to think that CSS was "garbage". After learning the ins and outs I think it's a pretty remarkable set of technologies. A true discipline. But, it's hard to find someone who really understands it because it sits at a weird level in the tech stack. Most developers feel it's beneath them or that they "have the gist of it" and most CSS specialists don't have a firm grip on it or keep up with browser developments.

If you're going to work with, hire, or exist as a "CSS Person" within 6-feet of me I'm going to require you to read "CSS: The Definitive Guide" before I give your laptop charger back to you.

This article is good, but it's barely the bare minimum that you need to know about not knowing CSS.

Six-figures for a "CSS Person" who's read CSS:TDG is completely worth it.

CSS and Sass are both worth mastering.

For CSS read: "CSS: The Definitive Guide" (https://www.amazon.com/CSS-Definitive-Guide-Visual-Presentat...)

For Sass read: "Pragmatic Guide to Sass 3" (https://www.amazon.com/Pragmatic-Guide-Sass-Modern-Style/dp/...)

It's a pity that most Tensorflow tutorials out there seem to deal with images. We tried to use it for real-time data classification (data -> [yes | no]). Every tuturial out there seems to assume you're using Python (which is probably not an invalid assumption). Here's my 2c when trying to use Tensorflow with C++:

a) Loading SavedModels is a pain. I has to trawl the Tensorflow repo and Python wrappers to see how it worked.

b) It's incredibly slow. It added ~250ms to our latency. We had to drop it.

c) It has a C++ framework that doesn't work out-of-the-box, you have to use the C lib that wraps an old version of the C++ framework (confused? me too).

d) It's locked to C++03.

Tensorflow-Lite looked to fit the bill for us, but our model weren't convertible to it. We no longer use Tensorflow.

If I were to visit the sun I’d probably orbit it close up, rather than landing on the surface. Seems like the sensible thing to do.

Being in orbit, I would sense weightlessness while being in the presences of an enormous gravitational field. Just as in orbit around earth: gravity is still there, you just can’t feel it.

Would I notice anything different when weightlessly orbiting something 300,000x more massive than earth?

While minimize to tray is finally there, it would be good to have:

1. close to tray

2. start minimized (changing shortcut properties in Windows to start minimized doesn't do anything).

3. Always keep tray icon - now it is removed when you click on it which is anoying

I am sure people will accidentally click close instead of minimize.
If people really listen to this, but do not click on recommended videos afterwards, this has a negative effect on the CTR which should turn out bad for the YTers.

> Even against the most modern aircraft the A380's fuel consumption per pax per unit distance is likely to be competitive

Just a few weeks ago here on hn there was a discussion about this. Someone claimed the reasons A380 has poorer fuel economy per pax than A350 or B787 are

- older design with less usage of lightweight composites.

- older engine design.

- wing design constrained by need to fit within 80m box (size of airport gate apparently).

- wing design optimized for a lengthened variant (that was never realised).

A lot of people see pubs and bars as a place to go and socialize, made easier by the social lubricant that is alcohol. It definitely depends on the vibe of the bar and the like.

I will say that all most all of the time I've spent in bars has been in a professional capacity as a musician, but I know at least one person who actually became a more social person in general because he started drinking at a local brewer's pub (they were actually a brewer's shop and a bar, it was pretty great) instead of drinking at home.
