There have been a number of experimentals running Mazda rotary engines, air-cooled VWs, Subaru boxers, and Corvair engines. I think there's a company that fairly recently started making some good-looking Suzuki engine conversions, as well. Probably a ton I'm missing, as well.
Sure, there are all kinds of trade offs between speed, range, useful load, altitude, burn rate, etc. But it’s really the combination of 450, 4500, and 20+ that would make this plane revolutionary. Otherwise it wouldn’t be all that interesting. And if we are to take seriously their claim of competing with commercial aviation, then it would really have to perform pretty close to all three of those numbers at the same time to even have a chance.

Edit: just to add a few numbers from the back of my napkin. To go 4500 miles, it would probably need to do 20mpg anyway. That’s 225 gallons of fuel. JetA is 6.7lb/gl, so ~1500lb. Not sure a small plane could carry a whole lot more than that without giving up all the useful load. And if it can only cruise at ~300mph in order to go 4500 miles, then we’re looking at a 15-hour flight in a pretty confined space with likely fairly basic amenities. It’s not exactly bringing back the glamour of aviation.
You don't have to cancel flights because of weather.

I don't think many flights today are cancelled because of weather on the route there, it's the weather over each airport, which would still impact this aircraft.
For standalone IRC servers, yes. But many IRC servers are collected together into networks (Undernet, Freenode, EFnet, and so on) and in that case all you need to be is in the same channel on the same network.

IRC is "very different" in the sense that it's more open and more freewheeling than, say, Slack. Slack is basically IRC with a slicker coat of paint and more monetization.
A great article - and lines like this really resonate with me "More than project management skills or technical expertise, empathy is the most important skill in open source."

However, the article doesn't address the most obvious question, how does Henry fund this activity?
Not every country even uses Latin alphabet. That’s for one. And you wrote “such alphabets” whereas OP specifically named NATO one. If each country would have their own implementation it would be even more effort consuming and wouldn’t solve anything beyond what we already have.
Probably because while private jet sounds great, the actual money will come from the military and cargo. A small plane at the efficiency of large cargo planes that can fly between most US airports would be a game changer for Fedex & UPS. They would save massive amounts with more direct routings, current small planes are just very limited and inefficient. Also, cargo planes could be unmanned much earlier than passenger flights.
Two people would need to be on the same server to instant message. Basically you have private messages, and then group chats.

The difference over something like AOL is that IRC is more open. Anyone can run an IRC server, so there was a lot of niche irc networks.

https://freenode.net/ is a popular IRC server for various open source communities.
Unfortunately, it doesn't always work like that in the wild. In some countries people will choose to butcher your original name for the sake of politeness, even if there is ideal translation in their langiage. At least this is what's happening in the UK. Not sure if it's common elsewere. For this reason I'd rather choose the name with better pronounciation outlook in both countries.
I use control-C, V, Z, S, that’s about it. What key bindings do you think are required to program? Some people program using voice input and no keys at all!

If you can write words in a file you can program.

The stupid game was getting too cute with the title, in a way that essentially invited a backfire. Arguably, it's still better than many titles from the newsrooms, but newsrooms reached the bottom long ago and decided to open a deep mine.

Thus, the stupid game led to a stupid prize, where major thread (in fact, one that felt like drowning any other discussion) was about the title technicalities, but not about content.
There are plenty of automotive engines that have been converted for use as aircraft engines. Subaru EA81 flat-4s, for one. I've also seen VW Beetle engines and Mazda rotaries converted for experimental aircraft use.

Snowmobiles and jetskis aren't automobiles, but many ultralight engines are based on snowmobile/jetski engine designs. (Rotax is very common, though I've seen at least one BD-5 with a Polaris snowmobile engine converted for aircraft use.)
> Honestly, given the beginner-nature of the textbook here, I think they're doing a decent job. Dynamic programming isn't as fundamental as the stack / queue / sorting / searching etc. etc. that's being discussed in "Problem Solving with Algorithms and Data Structures".

Ah, I think I set my expectations wrong with regards to the level.

My bad.
To be fair, Google has had Flutter since well before SwiftUI was released.
The first thing I do on a new machine is clone my dotfiles from Github. It's fast enough for an action that increases my productivity exponentially and I'll end up saving back that time it took to clone very quickly. I don't switch machines that often anyway.
I could be off but to me this read like whoever buys us probably won't want me heading the business so better I get out now
When you were an infosec pro did you know how to code at a pretty high level? I'm a security guy specializing in forensics and incident response that's contemplating the same switch, however, my math background pretty weak, I don't have a CS degree (CIS Major), and I could probably only land a jr. position as a programmer. I can't abandon 50% of my salary to start over with a wife and a kid just because I'm bored so I feel kind of stuck.

Also, what was your path to learning ML like? Got any advice?

And congrats, as a guy in his late 30s I'm starting to be afraid of my long term employability prospects as someone without the social skills for management. Its inspiring to see people successfully dive into a new field after a long and successful career in something else.
Yes, typically all your communications on IRC go through a server.
But depending on your client, and server, there's a lot of room for extensions around the native features.
For instance, you can use DCC to send messages directly to an other user
I had to google "cosplay market size" to confirm, but the paper's assertion that it's a billion-dollar industry does appear to be correct (!)

Two of the paper's authors work at the technology arm of Zozotown, one of Japan's largest fashion e-commerce sites, which points to how this could have practical benefits.
I was just upgrading my side project from dev14 - dev17 I had no idea the alpha would be out so soon.
I don’t have any public codebase examples at hand, but what we’ve done at work also works quite well: basically we implement our D3 charts as a class with methods corresponding to desired lifecycle events. We then create a Component wrapper around said class and call the methods during their corresponding lifecycle events. (Idk how confusing or not that was but I wish I had a repo to share to make it clearer).

There’s also a book I read while ago from Swizec Teller on d3 + react integration[0]. It may be dated by now as it’s been some time since I last read it, but it’s worth looking into!

If the design works there's no reason it shouldn't work on a A320/B737 size. But without a small prototype, the billions for developing a completely new plane and engine are not worth it.

I'm sure Airbus & Boeing are following this closely. A large turboprop (even at sizes of a A220) would further reduce ticket costs for budget airlines.
Starlink has no impact on this nor do any other internet provider. The first spy satellites launched in 1959. Don't carry electronics with you and you can be as dark as any spot on earth has been in the last five decades.
People use computers to do things.

When automated updates make it harder for them to do the things they want to do, especially out of no action on their own, they are going to dislike the automatic updates.

And when trying to avoid the automated updates - which is what they see as the source of making it harder to do the things they want to do - is met with automated updates being forced even harder on them, they're going to dislike those automated updates even more.

The key isn't to not have automated updates, it is for those automated updates to not make it harder for people to do the things they want to do with their computers. Automated updates should be as transparent and frictionless as possible.

Take a hint out of the Linux kernel: Linus realized very early that updating the kernel should not break people's programs because that would cause them to not update the kernel. So the kernel developers try their hardest to avoid breaking people's programs. And this ends with kernel updates being one of the safest updates on a Linux system you can do.

Everything should be like kernel updates.
Where are the windows? Human payloads need windows.
This is true but I do see it’s adoption far more among Android devs.
Also, a 3300' take-off roll doesn't mean you need a 3300' runway to operate--if you lose the engine just before rotation speed, you might need a few thousand more feet to stop the aircraft.
He left Disney after being passed over for CEO. Although (assuming that Microsoft or a comparable company buys TikTok) he would likely stay on as its head, with potential to rise within should he do a good job, Mayer is one of the very few people who's already been in that exact spot (or higher; Disney might have a smaller market cap than Microsoft, but in every other way they are equals in their global reach and ambition), so to speak, so it's understandable that he wouldn't want to go through it again.

That said, surely his contract has provisions for a payout should his company gets acquired. Wouldn't leaving before any transaction close void that?
If I understand the persistence stuff correctly, programs don't do explicit I/O but instead just run forever and thus use normal variables and data structures to store state.

This sounds very convenient until one fine day you decide add a new feature, so you need to change your code, but the new code has different variables and there may not be any sensible way to "port" the data.
I can't replace/reconfigure the router I'm behind right now, so I set up a Wireguard VPN. A $5/mo DigitalOcean droplet is the "hub", which then has point-to-point connections through Wireguard to each of my devices. They all get their own IP addresses through the network—I used the 10.101.101.0/24 subnet for memorability—and since I manually allocate IP addresses, I can actually remember which one is which! Then they can talk to each other through the VPN, and if anything wants to be accessible from the public internet, Nginx on the DO droplet reverse proxies to it. My favorite advantage is that my phone/laptop always have access to my devices at home, even when roaming. Plus, in theory, I could relocate any device to another network with no downtime except the time it takes to physically move it and plug it back in—I haven't tested this yet.

The one downside I've encountered so far is that I often have devices sending traffic from home network -> droplet -> home network, since they "don't know" that they're actually on the same local network, and exclusively communicate through the VPN. My ping to DO's datacenter is low enough that this hasn't really bothered me, though.
I would personally be afraid of being declared persona non grata by other companies.

Another point that doesn't get mentioned in the article is noise. Laminar flow with a 59% reduction would make the aircraft much quieter, especially during approach. Aerodynamic drag is the primary source of landing planes, reducing that can greatly help communities around airports and avoid curfews.
The production is why I listen. Take 03 Greedo's "Sweet Lady" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iE3v7nSnHN4), for instance - this flips a hip-hop convention on its head by mixing the vocals lower than the sample, giving it a faraway quality I'd argue is innovative within genre constraints.

The other factor is that I feel like the West Coast is in a general slump right now compared to even five years ago. The Bay Area sound is played out; the YG/Nipsey (RIP)/Game modernized-classic gangsta rap sound hasn't had any good projects for a while; and Kendrick himself hasn't released anything since the Black Panther OST two years ago.
Same, possibly by taking 3d models and flattening them or something. Paper is interesting none the less.
I am a huge fan of The Art Assignment on youtube. I came in as a skeptic of modern art but grew to appreciate it and with it my notions of what I consider art or work in general. Jackson Pollock video essay[0] is worth watching as well.

Advertisers might have funded a lot of it and set the direction, but they couldn't have done it without armies of technology folk.

At least early on, the latter had the excuse of lack of foresight regarding the dystopia they were building, but for decades now it's been more than obvious to everyone and most of them are continuing to cobble together their own prisons and ours.

Nice! 3D is not exactly my taste, but I like this. It's all text, you can still select it. That was a good surprise for me, since it's not very common when you see any advanced visual effect on text in the web.
I was going to say "because it's fun"
Right, should clarify that I mean "Users do not act in a manner that reveals they care about this". I.e. the majority of users won't use a product that's more compliant with the spec over one that does an extra thing they'd like.
In theory at least Ctrl-[ "is" Escape and is already universal. Reason: simultaneously pressing Ctrl is the ASCII -> ASCII mathematical transformation "subtract 0x40" for keys that represent a single ASCII character. So for example Ctrl-M is 0x4d - 0x40 = 0x0a. M is 0x4d ASCII and carriage return (aka '\r', aka Enter) is 0x0d ASCII. Ctrl-M is, or at least should be, universally the same as Enter. Similarly '[' is 0x5b in ASCII, so Ctrl-'[' is 0x1b in ASCII which is the ASCII code for, you guessed it I hope, Escape. Phew that was tough on a phone.
2014 was six years ago after a sharp recession. Current home ownership is near all time highs.

So why is the average home size nearly double the size in the 70s?
$5k plus pilots (I’d want two for a transatlantic flight). And you’d still be stuck inside a very small space for 12 hours, with what’s likely to be a porta-potty level lavatory and minimalist galley. Oh, and a single piston engine, which is less reliable than turbines, over a lot of very cold water. Not sure that would be the best use case for this plane.
First class letters are slow. Packages not so much (better revenue).

I remap my right Alt to Ctrl. The best thing I have ever done with regards to ergonomics. It works wonders in all softwares, not only vim. It's much more convenient to press with the thumb than CapsLock is with the pinkie.
They weigh more but have lower fuel consumption. More complex than gasoline aero engines. Usually more reliable but making them light probably impacts that. I think the lower fuel consumption compensates for the higher weight for longer flights.

Big reason for switching to them after 100 years of using gasoline is aviation gas is expensive and concerns about lead. Big picture I think refineries and distributors don't want to supply aviation gasoline anymore.
The stated reason seems to be that the role is no longer badass enough:

> what it means for the global role I signed up for.

> I understand that the role that I signed up for—including running TikTok globally—will look very different as a result of the US

> We appreciate that the political dynamics of the last few months have significantly changed what the scope of Kevin’s role

Not alotta scope.
The Difference Between CI and CD in DevOps

Mandarin Chinese and Cantonese (and presumably most/all other dialects) distinguish r from l. You're thinking of some Japanese/Koreans having trouble due to those languages using a single phoneme that's somewhat between r/l.

Also, it's a bit racist to not point out that it's only some Japanese and Koreans that have trouble pronouncing r and l.
> Real users don't know and don't care about software versions.

I read the same stuff about performance (e.g. when Electron is brought up) or using native UIs or even using native apps in the first place.

But i wonder, is it really that "real users" do not care about these or that they are not in a position to understand their impact and communicate their dislike? After all, my aunt for example constantly complains about how her laptop is slow, but she certainly cannot tell me what she means with that - is it the browser she's using, is it some software she's using, is it her internet connection making stuff in Facebook come slower, is the computer thrashing the disk (though with 8GB of RAM and an SSD that shouldn't be noticeable... yet somehow it is), etc. I can barely understand myself when she explains it to me over the phone, how can some developer who doesn't even really care about understanding my aunt is going to get any feedback about her experience and what she'd value?

(and honestly IMO all of these sound like excuses for developers putting their own experience above their users')
Again, you're telling on yourself here:

"No. I empathize, but my empathy sits behind the knowledge that the rule of law and state monopoly of force must be maintained or all will devolve into tribal war."

Some political violence is okay if the state is involved? Even if that violence is oppressive?

Politically motivated violence on behalf of the police is why we're in this situation to begin with. Any you're of the opinion that any retaliation to this violence to reform a broken system of state violence is somehow out of turn?
Never tried Slack, so that comparison doesn't help too much :)

But I think I'm getting the idea now. It's a similar idea to a typical instant messenger, except that since the protocol is standard, you have federation that actually works, much like someone who uses gmail can email someone else who uses yahoo.

Plus you have the concept of a channel, which seems to have no direct analog in a typical instant messenger, but seems to be essentially a persistent chatroom that doesn't vanish even if nobody is in the channel at the moment.

Is that about right?
Interesting. I hope what the author says isn't actually done. So the computers generated a proof nobody can understand, but fret not, a second computer program can assure us of its validity. Well that's heartwarming. I hope they are not building the foundations of future math on this house of cards.
Naturally aspirated != carb.

You can have a naturally aspirated engine with electronic (even direct) injection, or a turbocharged engine with a carburetor, or any other combination.

This feels like a missed opportunity. There's a lot of data Shippo could share about USPS and that would help add more context to what's happening in the news. But it's difficult to understand anything concrete from this. It would be more helpful to see how this fits into long term trends and other context on how abnormal it is.

I am highjacking your comment to express my confusion about this dispute. Not that it exists, but on what grounds it exists. Has TikTok done something that is materially different and worse from what, for example, Facebook has? Or is it only that they do similar things, but they originate from China?
Maybe a noob question, but why do you need a dedicated firewall appliance? What is it doing for you that just closing all ports and then selectively reopening as needed (my current solution) won't do? What kinds of threats is it protection your network from?

FWIW “Mary” is sort of the stereotypical female name here in Ireland, though I see from looking at the stats that its use has dropped off a good bit (#92 in girls names last year). I’d bet that drop-off is precisely because it’s seen as a very common old-fashioned name redolent of pre-90s world which modern Ireland has a very complex relationship with.
Opiates are a huge problem everywhere.

But the US and NZ are the only two countries that allow DTC drug marketing. And Purdue in particular was monstrous (in size and as an evil creature) in their direct to healthcare provider marketing.

I would argue this a MUCH larger contributing factor than any cultural differences, and actually causing some 'cultural' differences.

Where else is a drug pusher allowed to legally access a database of all scripts written by which doctors in order to target the top 1% of script writers who make up a large % of the profit. Then pay HUGE commissions to pushy non-educated salespeople - armed with criminally false 'research' funded by shell 'non-profits' - to bribe doctors to write even more.

Not to mention Purdue actively incentivizing pill mill Doctors, actively reaching out to obvious criminal MDs to get them to sell more drugs!!!!

It's disgusting and they need to be held accountable for manslaughter. all ill-gotten gains should be reposed and used for treatment.

If this were any other drug dealer their cash/cars/etc would be seized immediately and the accused would have to prove the money was not ill-gotten to get it back.

Put the Sackler's on the treasury sanctions list just like we do with Cartel leaders. Maybe them museums will start chiseling their names off of the buildings.
It might hurt his reputation to have left at a time like this, but I imagine not necessarily any worse than his reputation would wind up being if he stuck around at the helm for a pawn in a game between the US and Chinese governments. If an acquisition does actually materialize, which still seems to be a very big if, it would be under existential duress, which is not a favorable negotiating position. Despite its popularity and success, TikTok has been pulled into a completely different arena now, and its unclear that there are winning moves for it to make which aren’t contingent on a sudden shift in politics.
