Those are two examples where the URL is canonical and shouldn't be shortened.

There are probably many, many more. Very often the only place you can find the date of a news story is in the URL due to them using some version of Wordpress but not putting the date in the article past a certain age (F YOU, Guardian).

Google has clearly thought this through and decided that whatever they're getting out of this is FAR MORE IMPORTANT than the best interests of their users.

And that should make everyone suspicious.
Conceptually this is exactly what Terraform is made for. It will deploy things with the parallelism rate you specify, and is designed to neatly scale your infra up and down.

To do a rolling deployment though, it does become awkward, as you essentially have to model both the old version and the new version in your code, and then run the commands several times to scale up the new cluster and scale down the old one in stages. It's basically a modelling of a blue/green deploy.
Not sure... ensuring quality of cast parts that complicated is going to be a huge ongoing issue. Any local temperature difference or fill problem might cause the body to fail to perform when it is needed the most. Stamping from uniform material is much morw repeatable and predictable.
I've disengaged from the news since shortly after COVID started so I had to DuckDuckGo what you meant. I see a 38 minute interview on YouTube that I could watch, but unless in it he announces his support for abolishing the police or canceling American history, I doubt it would change anything.
As the article says, the effect wouldn't affect earth much if at all. At worst, space travel would have to cope with the increased radiation levels.
It really depends, there are cheap tools that can measure chain stretch. A decent chain should last a year or more unless you're climbing up the Alps every day.

The chain, cassette and chainrings are a combo. If your chain is worn then they are too. Check their teeth. A sign of a worn chain can be gears slipping. It takes some really intense power to wear out a bicycle chain every 3 months.

Cassettes aren't that expensive unless you're going for elite titanium ones. But if you're at that level you should have your own tools in case something breaks on your 100km regular ride!

Wait, I just realized the results in my repl (0..9) are reversed from what I pasted into HN (9..0). And if you shrink the width of the browser to force my HN snippets to wrap, it changes the order. And it selects in the reverse order on click and drag.

I spoke way too soon. Unicode is weird. My apologies to our friend UncleEntity.
"Only 300 people have died because of the policies that were put in place. Relaxing those policies will increase that number."

This is an assumption, and it's a bad one. The paucity of deaths in young people is true around the world, regardless of lockdown policy. Sweden, for example, does not have a higher proportion of young people dying.
Tray icons in Gnome are not about big ego guy. The issue is entirely different, rooted in different problem.

Systray appeared for a first time in Windows 95, which had no notion of services, say nothing of user services. Here it started to be abused, at first for quicklaunch scenarios (where an app preloaded itself into ram or disk cache at least at login, so when the user clicked the app icon, it launched "quickly"). Later it started to be abused by apps to make them difficult to turn off (Skype is the classic example). The respective developers redirected all the WM_CLOSE to just minimizing the app, removing it from taskbar, but kept the app running and restorable in the systray. Many users were frustrated that they are not able to quit the app (if they noticed), power users just nuked them from the taskbar.

Models like this are not acceptable on a modern desktop. Even if some people are used to this and cannot imagine something different.

It was Android that came with solution for this: split the app into the UI (Activity in Android parlance) and the background task (the service). The background task cannot interact with the user directly, but it can communicate with the UI (if/when it is running) and send notifications when it needs attention, so the user can launch the UI for ecample (one nice thing is that notifications persist even if the process originating it crashes). It can be launched by the system at login (i.e. as systemctl user service on linux desktop), or it can be launched on demand by the UI part, and it can be similarly terminated. The UI can do many things, but one thing it can't do is to keep it's process running once the user closed all it's windows (Gnome-on-Wayland started to check for this and complains to the user about that, offering whether to quit the app or not).

This model works greatly for apps that genuinely need to run in the background, check for things and on some event notify the user (mailbox monitors, instant messaging, file sync, media players etc). It does not work for apps, which want force themselves on the user, do something that the app developer wants but user doesn't (i.e. Skype) or those who have no reason to be in a background, but they do anyway (VLC for example, where users click on video, but since it is already running and it allows only for one instance so nothing happens then, frustrating user again). The split into UI/service is also positive in that the resources needed to run while in background are lower; all the assets the UI needs are only loaded, when the user launches the UI part.

Meanwhile, AppIndicators & co extensions are there until the developers migrate their app to the newer model. Which takes a while, Rome wasn't built in a day either.

Well, first off, my thoughts are pretty worthless here. I'm doing a "my money" wager where "my money" isn't that much. :D

That said, I haven't checked on numbers a lot lately. Just checking quickly, Spain seems problematic in that they are growing again in cases. (Am I looking at bad data?) Italy is also growing, just somewhat masked by how giant their initial wave was.

Which is all to say, I suspect some places have done something "right" to contain this. I'm not convinced we know what that thing was, yet. Is akin to folks saying beer was drank because the alcohol made it safe. Really, it was the boiling of the water, but the evidence was hard to separate those.

So, to that end, I am not calling for reopening or anything of that sort. So, please don't take my scepticism for that.
Your reasoning is strange. Actually, higher entropy is what we may call "of lower complexity" requiring ever-shorter description length.

> I find hard to believe that no one has thought about this before

Automotive companies utilize a myriad of frame designs for their vehicles - each one a collection of different alloys, structural shapes and castings depending on the design goals for not only the vehicle of today, but changes that they foresee in future vehicles that would utilize the same basic BIW lines (to conserve capital expenditures, training procedures and inspection methodologies).

There are some automotive companies that rely on some cast product of various sizes in their frame designs. That is not really new.

Tesla is obviously taking some more extreme measures than other automakers, but electric vehicles do inherently put more frame design freedom on the table given that there is not an engine compartment per se to consider in terms of passenger safety.

That said, generally, the disadvantages of large castings in automotive applications are:

1. Poor reparability, and

2. Porosity risks (which can unexpectedly yield structural issues), and

3. Wide tolerances, and

4. Need for a post-cast finished machining process (application dependent), and

5. Long cycle times, and

6. Design space difficulty in managing the weight/strength tradeoff and crumble zone development (application dependent).

Keep in mind that while a casting process may seem simpler that "traditional" BIW lines, those traditional lines are highly optimized and generally very efficient and flexible (often running multiple different kind of frames over a single line) - typically employing above 95% automation. I know Tesla has struggled with their BIW lines in the past in terms of quality. I am not sure of Tesla's current situation having not really followed Tesla's process for a number of months.

The advantage, I suppose, that Tesla is seeing is that they can radically simplify their BIW line.
Another thing to consider is that prior to the late 19th/20th centuries, standardization of ingredients and quantities was not really a thing. Flour came in different densities and gluten contents, depending on what the mill felt like producing. Tomatoes came in different sizes and acidities depending on the soil and weather, and neither stoves nor ovens had effective temperature control. If they had told you to use 50g of something, that wouldn't have meant 50g of whatever the reader had, and it certainly wouldn't mean 50g of what you can get.

Instead, the reader is expected to "fill in the gaps", a much more reasonable expectation when everyone is cooking daily with the same few dozen ingredients because long term preservation isn't a thing yet outside pickling/curing/fermentation.

Is this because shock wave compresses air and makes it refractive like water so it almost looks like there is a water droplet where the explosion originates?
Lebanese here

Focusing on the direct cause of the blast is a huge distraction from understanding why the 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate were stored in the middle of Beirut for 7 years.

The president Aoun and his senior leadership were all aware of this problem but said they didn't have the authority to do anything about it. IMO, this is a hilariously bad argument that's deflecting who the most likely owner is. Aoun and his lackeys apparently have the authority to start a state of emergency and shoot protesters but don't have any such authority to prevent half of Beirut from being nuked.

The director of the Beirut port Badri Daher has been running bazaar ever since he's been in that position, regularly stealing supplies from shipments, suing reporters for defamation and beating up investigative journalists. The port director also reports to the Amal party which is closely allied to Aouns.

I would naively think you would want an oil with a high smoke point for seasoning. Can you elaborate on why a low smoke point is preferable?

I think it's a good example of "correlation does not equal causation". The specific problem I remember reading about is that diet correlates with geography, and geography correlates with mortality through some parasites being more prevalent in certain areas and maybe other factors. So you can't draw a causative link between diet and mortality through a simple observational study.

It's important to note here that PHP is converting to an integer, while JS is converting to a double. Integers don't have NaN as a concept.

This is a super modern machine underneath, well, maybe not super. But it has WiFi, an SD card reader, and you can do quite a bit more than just run it as a number of different spectrum models in hardware.

I see it as a souped up "all-in-one" like a Raspberry Pi w/ a case and accessories.

It's still quite a bit more, but I think that's to be expected given it's less than massively widespread appeal.

https://www.atf.gov/explosives/table-distances

That is an example of the kind of tables that exist that show what can be stored with and near what, and how much. Storing of explosives is well understood. They try these explosives in various quantities, near each other, with different heat and other effects applied. Through these experiments and through real-world accidents and catastrophes they know what shouldn't be done. What happened here was an example of what shouldn't be done.
HIDING the URL doesn't seem to be the most obvious solution to this, to me.
You want it to smoke when seasoning. That's an indication that free-radicals are being created which set off the polymerization of the oil and create the seasoning. Low smoke-point oils are more convenient because they start polymerizing at lower temps.
Great article. But I think this part may need as second look:

If your views involve heavy-lifting calculations or long-running network calls to be done as part of the request path, it’s a great use case for using async views.

That seems true for long-running network calls (IO). But for heavy-lifting calculations? I thought that was the canonical example of situations async won't improve. CPU bound and memory bound, after all.
I opened the article had a look at the graphs and closed it again. The y axis of the graph is deliberately chosen to make the effect look stronger and this sort of thing gets an immediate no from me. Yes if you want to highlight a small effect on a large number you can change the yaxis, usually you indicate this by an interruption in the axis. Bit that's not the case here GPAs go from 1 (or 0) to 4 and any significant effect would show on such a scale (it would not look as large however).

The other question is, how where the years chosen, is there a lot of fluctuations year to year?

Bottom line, there might very well be a significant effect, however the presentation sets of all sort of alarm bells.

Doesn't really say anything useful.

It is just bringing up that various hostile parties could have known about the ammonium nitrate being there and had motivation to blow it up.

Which yeah duh. But having the motivation and the means to do something is not evidence that you did it.

The actual evidence completely lines up with the original post. Not to say we shouldn't consider the conspiracy theories just that this one like the others isn't supported by the evidence.

> Perhaps you could also explain why this change would get made?

I'm not related to Amazon/AWS (I'm not even a customer of AWS), but if it were my decision, I would want the mappings to be the same for everyone, because customer specific mappings makes it harder for customers to coordinate.

Ex: if I'm your customer and we're both on AWS and want to have the best experience between servers, I'd like to put my VMs that talk to yours in the availability zones you're in.

If I want to have the highest availability talking to your servers, again, I want to be in the same zones as you --- or at least if I'm in -1a and you're in -1b, I should expect to need to go to a different geo from time to time if only one AZ has an incident.

This is a lot harder if some of the identifiers mean different things.

Re: balancing. Thehre's usually ways to influence people. Default choices in the console, asking big customers to put new VMs in other zones or rebalance, spot prices, etc. I've been a big enough customer to see that at other hosting. If the top 10 customers control 50% of the VMs (made up statistic, but I was a #1 customer controlling 50% of a DCs traffic, so plausible), you only need to have a few conversations to get things moving.

I was watching some Feynman interview recently and he was talking about how one day noodling with a geiger counter he found a hot spot in an storage room, and discovered that the operations people were storing uranium in suspension, and either the ratio was wrong, or the tanks were too big, and so the neutron flux was too high.

Since the nuclear physics was all highly classified, they couldn't just explain the entire situation directly, but he played up the severity to make sure people paid attention (because the next mistake would be much worse).

They reworked the guidelines, and as part of this they also had to point out that storing two tanks of uranium in separate rooms but on the same wall was also a really exceptionally bad idea.

If you can tell people what's going on, there is plenty of room for human error. If you can't tell them, for any reasons ranging from graft to state secrets, well then you've got a much bigger surface area for disasters.
Indeed for luck... Things are already better thanks to our community and supportive friends and family. Thank you.
Tax-Exempt Lobbying: Corporate Philanthropy as a Tool for Political Influence
You don't want it to smoke when cooking, because ingesting the free-radicals is generally considered unhealthy ;)
I agree but I think it's ok to acknowledge the proximate cause while remembering the ultimate cause. You can say it was caused by the welders without them being to blame for it. Imagine they weren't told about the explosives, it still would be the case they caused the blast but not really possible for them to be at fault.
