So Lua offers two superior ways to process strings over one? and you're still mad? Sounds like a

Ah but I did. You just don't like it, which is, you guessed it, a you problem.

Ierusalimchy wrote lpeg specifically to address known deficiencies in the pattern library.

Sure, you can't always use it. Just like you might be stuck on an obsolete version of JS in an embedded system.

But this is neither Lua's problem, nor my problem. It might be your problem. I'm beginning to detect a pattern!

It is, in fact, not.

I recognize the trope here. Happily, I'm in a position to fire people who show it, and have.

In your case, I'll have to be content with never interacting with you again.
Learned helplessness at its best.
It can often be considered closed for the purposes of the phenomenon that we want to describe. To be specific, masses like galaxies, stars and planets accelerate all parts of our tiny rocket the same way. Yes, there are differences, but they are usually so small that they can be neglected. Our rocket works mostly the same no matter how it is oriented to these sources of gravity. Of course, as it gets closer to such masses, these forces (called tidal forces) start to matter and will eventually rip it apart, given that it doesn't burn up or collide first.

Rockets, differently to balloons, do not depend on an interaction with a gravitic field for their operation. They work by ejecting reaction mass opposite to the flight direction and relying on Newton's third law of motion. Most of the time, the energy to eject the reaction mass is generated by combustion, but it doesn't really matter. Rockets can also be driven by the reaction mass's pressure inside its tank.

In general, any system can be turned into a closed system by including all sources of force in the description. Of course, the more forces are included in our model, the less useful it gets. Therefore, physicists and engineers must decide which forces can be ignored. Else, even experiments would become useless because without a model, the experience gained from experiments cannot be generalized.
>without becoming a big enough problem for google to care

Well, that's the point. Google doesn't care if it's a big problem for a person, a street, or a neighborhood so long as it's not a problem for them.
I consider it a feature that whatever you put up there won’t be in a perfectly stable orbit. That means whatever you do will require upkeep one decade to the next or else it will just revert back to normal.

And you can start out at whatever scale you feel comfortable with. E.g. If 1 million tons of material had an overall effect of 0.1% reduction in TSI.

The sun’s output isn’t perfectly constant over time naturally. On average we get about 1361W/m2 (TSI). But sunspots can show short-term variance up to 0.3%, overall TSI has been varying about 0.04% per decade based on modern measurements, and TSI is believed to have increased about 40% overall over the last few billions of years.

Estimates are that reducing TSI by 1% would reduce global average temperatures somewhere between 0.6°C to 1.6°C.

I think the most interesting impact of being able to set the world’s temperature would be countries arguing over the thermostat at a global scale. It’s bad enough when my wife and I can’t agree in our own house!

“The” is your convention — I don’t think the prefix “the” would remain appropriate once a hypothetical perfect copy existed.

(Separately: it has been restored many times, and apparently some of these restorations have removed the upper surface of the paint while others have retouched paint, so the Ship Of Theseus could also apply in principle).
There are likely some generational differences here... I definitely read even the nutritional information on the cereal boxes but it was because there was nothing whatsoever else to do during breakfast. If I had a smart phone I'd find something better to read.
That's common complaint. However, in my experience, proprietary support, especially on supportive technologies isn't that great either.

It also seems more likely to find local expert on FOSS technology given that barrier to entry is 0.
> Java can afford to distinguish between bytes and characters because it is strongly typed throughout the language. In Python, whether 2 or 3, as a developer you do not have the luxury of informed reasoning whether something is bytes or a string, because your functions' input parameters can be either.

Python is a strongly typed language, and you can check a function's argument types at runtime with isinstance(), and inspect those types' class hierarchies with issubclass().
As to your first question, distant gravitational fields can be ignored as per theory of relativity - if you're looking at an experiment in a black box (e.g. in an EmDrive) then an otherwise closed system in freefall in gravitational field is absolutely indistinguishable from a system at rest without that field, any experiment would give exactly the same results.

And for the second question, mass is energy and energy is mass (as per relativity). Adding or removing energy from a system makes it respectively heavier or lighter; if you heat up an object so that afterwards it has exactly the same atoms but just more internal energy, then it will be slightly heavier than when it was cold - the difference is very small (m=E/c^2, and c^2 is large) but nonzero.

If you're looking from outside at the behavior of an isolated black box, it's impossible to detect if inside it some mass is "lost" in a nuclear reaction i.e. converted to energy, as both the inertial and gravitational mass of a system is equivalent to the sum of both rest mass and energy, and that total is conserved. If that box pushes out energy/mass to outside or gains energy/mass from outside, then of course it is not a closed system. But converting rest mass to energy and vice versa in a chemical or nuclear reaction would not make it a non-closed system as long as all the inputs and outputs stay in the system, as the total gravitational effect of the system before and after the reaction would be exactly the same.
It still helps though, let's assume they're using MD5 without salt, if the attacker has a rainbow table, this leads to a speed up, since the attacker only has guess bit-by-bit instead of trying every possibility.
The most difficult trick isn't carrying it. We might plausibly one day achieve that synthetically. For any creatures whose parents stick around the parents provide essential cues for the offspring's behaviour. More complex behaviour is not "batteries included". Baby humans do not bootstrap a full-blown spoken (or signed) language, it's acquired from the other humans in their environment. A baby bird may be able to figure out how to fly but it definitely won't bootstrap all the detailed behaviour for its species if you don't provide parents to show how to be whatever sort of bird it is.

In this case we've got both a surrogate that's "close enough" as far as we're concerned, and also extant adult members of the species that Kurt will meet (and hopefully later breed with some of them) to cover anything we have no idea a Przewalski's horse is supposed to know about and wasn't handled by domestic horse behaviour.

But a baby dinosaur has nobody to show it how to be whatever sort of dinosaur it is. We could teach it to be what we thought it was supposed to be, but we have no idea if we're right!
Largely the same as node (server-side JavaScript), but typescript first and no npm/node_modules nonsense.
Some napkin math.

How long would it take a nuclear powered EmDrive to push a fully loaded semitrailer from 0m/s to the speed of the interntional space station?

The maximum mass for a semi-truck fully loaded is 36000kg. The EmDrive generates 12millinewtons per kw. 1n = 1kg*(1m/s^2). Leo ~=7.66km/s^. A nuclear reactor produces ~1gw. We would need 275760000N to accelerate a semi truck to leo speeds. A nuclear powered EmDrive would take ~265 days to push a semi truck to low earth orbit speeds.

The escape velocity of Earth's orbit is 11.19 km/s, and if you were going to take humans on the trip you'd need much more cargo than 36000kg. Granted, you wouldn't have to move the craft from 11.19km/s to 0km/s and then 0km/s to 11.19 km/s every time you entered and left orbit, but it would be a slow ride regardless.

Software companies at least would like you to believe that you do not own a copy of a program, but rather a license to use a copy of the program. They are almost certainly not on firm ground when it comes to physical copies, but download-only software is much less clear cut.
The amount of breaking changes was also much smaller than in Py3k.

Also, 1.8 marked the creation of complete compliance test suite (as Ruby 1.8 became an ISO Standard), and that test suite has been expanded since then allowing for alternative implementations.

Because the test suite is your target, not a hard to interpret 2kLOC spaghetti code C function.
Apparently not. And Google also apparently actually deletes the imagery, possibly to be compliant with European privacy directives.

Plenty of YN posts contain domain specific jargon from physics, mathematics, chemistry, biology, and various computing sub disciplines. I don’t see that educational jargon in a paper intended for practitioners in that field should be any different.
Fair enough, I'll add a warning.

Edit: I wanted to demonstrate the stupidity of this question: "How is Meditations on Violence supposed to convey the brutality of life as well as the other titles?"

The quote is not representative of the general tenor of the book, but it is representative of why that question is dumb.
Uh, just use the old interpreter. Same situation.

Fair enough, but with everything google, the free tier good enough for a prototype and personal use. If I need to scale it, there are other options. For me, I appreciate the option of this model, it makes high tech accessible to low capital ventures. And sometimes buying locked in services is the rational decision taking into account the costs of learning other platforms and maintaining a

How would that heat radiate?

Electromagnetic radiation has momentum - it's small, but not zero. If you're emitting a bunch of photons (e.g. infrared photons from blackbody radiation of a hot object) more to one side than the other, then the remainder of that device will have some thrust. But that does not violate conservation of momentum, as the momentum gained by the device will equal the momentum of these photons; and the total momentum of the whole system (the device plus all the photons radiated) will be constant.
In case it gives some HNers joy, India now recognizes Orcas as non-human person [0]. India is the fourth country in the world to ban the capture and import of cetaceans for the purpose of commercial entertainment - along with Costa Rica, Hungary, and Chile. Me thinks that it is about time.

>I know the History channel is complete trash, but this series was apparently done in collaboration with MUFON.

The history channel is not complete trash. They have good experts on there and their productions are beautiful - what are you comparing them against?

>These things are almost certainly worthy of study, but the entire field of interest needs to be completely cleansed of the woo and pseudoscience that plagues it.

Yeah, the guy who invented Newtonian physics believed in an all-powerful Creator-God who created the world in a week or so. It would be fun to see you sit down with him and explain to him that the basis of his worldview was, in your opinion, 'woo'.

>The other thing is that actual science isn't very sexy.

Actual science also doesn't explain very much. It punts on the question of consciousness and on the question of ultimate things - the two most significant questions that a person seeking 'scienza' could probably ask.
This description rang pretty true for me. My mother is much, much better about it now, but practically all of my tech support with her for a while was little more than stopping her from closing error messages immediately, then just asking her to read them. At times I was almost impressed with how quickly and accurately she could click the Cancel button.

> I think one of the reasons I find computers relatively easy is that I compulsively read whatever you put in front of me.

Telling my mom this is what eventually got her to read error messages instead of closing them. She had to learn not to close them and then, separately, learn to also read them. I'll admit there were times where I was on the verge of crying out of frustration, begging her to "please just read the screen" because she would leave the error, but then still not actually read it and go with:

Me: "What does it say?"

Mom: "I don't know."

So glad things are better, now.

They collect light, split it into its colors and check for certain colors being more or less present or absent. This is a so called spectrum and different atoms, ions and molecules have a characteristic pattern there.

Here is what this looks like when doing this with light of the sun: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraunhofer_lines
This is not only true for software developed with public funds, but with any software that becomes critical for providing public services, communication in particular.

Take for example the recent 5G spying debacle. US claims that the Chinese can insert snooping tech in their hardware, which is of course true. But the same thing is true for gear produced by American or European companies, so we are expected to choose based on the respectability of the political regime or some such and keep our fingers crossed.

This whole issue goes away if all critical infrastructure services, regardless of origin, can only operate in "source available" mode, if full FOSS is not economically feasible.
Like I said, maybe there's room for GPU improvements in the ARM designs. Seems like nVidia could do something like pack in hardware DLSS. They license out their GPU designs so its not far fetched that their GPU features make their way into mobile ARM chip designs. The Tegra was a bit power hungry but maybe having control of the full stack can alleviate that.

Well Ion has both text and binary encodings: https://amzn.github.io/ion-docs/docs/spec.html
What's the play here? To make it more expensive for competitors to license ARM chip designs? So that Nvidia just gets to make more chips, or to make non-Nvidia, ARM chips less tempting over x86?
right here on hn is / has the potential to be an ideal recruiting ground for non technical entrepreneurs.

i mean, what you're essentially looking for is the intellectual equivalent of a bar, or more conveniently, the halls of residence in a good university.

the reason universities are so ideal for finding cofounders is that perfect blend of infinite trajectory (minimal real world obligations) and equal standing. ideally, the place you're talking about has the capacity to integrate these things into a social sphere, without the media.

hn can fulfil this role more or less, and could do so to a greater extent if they had the incentive to. you have the karma / profile to judge someone's character and understanding, and their further contact if that's what they want.

it so happens that all of the job postings are for technical positions, but that is due to the fact that it is more likely for someone nontechnical to need an engineer than the other way around.

where else would the millennial steve jobs be lurking? (this is not exclusively rhetoric – if there is another answer that's not hn then go there)

if they're nowhere obvious, then they're hustling, and good luck finding them if you didn't go to school with them.
It's hard to believe, I know, but in two years, those 5 weeks will look like they did not have any influence at all in your long term productivity or what you could have achieved. After some time, you will realize that the perceived less amount of time allows you to do more, and more efficiently. than people that actually have all the time of the world in their hands.

You maybe could learn a skill while the kid is sleeping; but the irregular patterns and not-so-long periods of quiet sleep would better be used to do stuff you necessarily need to do (bills, paperwork, household tasks, grocery shopping, little repairs, making place in the cupboards, perhaps installing some furniture, etc.).

Usually given total undivided attention without rush to the baby leads to much easier and faster resolution; for example, when trying to feed, or sleep time, 30/55 minutes taking care that the kid feels well, that temperature is good (if it is to hot, for example, gently moving a towel), providing entertainment flying some toy and engaging them, quietly singing, etc. will lead to less time overall than trying to rush in 10 minutes and find yourself an hour later with a very tired baby that will sleep out of sheer exhaustion.

Best of luck and think that 5 weeks will look like nothing in the future. Think that if you had removed one year of your education in the past, quite probably, things would not have been so different anyway.

I really appreciate this feedback. We have plenty of people who are on those services and still enjoy NanaGram. There are also lots of younger grandparents who love getting physical prints too. I'm not super well versed on printed photo habits in 3rd world countries but in the US people like to display printed photos in frames around the home, sometimes on the fridge. We ship around the world if you want to give it a try. There's a way to send 3 photos completely free or if you want to send more you can sign up for a paid account which is backed by a money-back guarantee.
I don't doubt that a company can do well regardless of its name. PortSwigger is making a killing off all the pentesting companies, but I'm still allowed to find it a bad name and awkward to bring up outside the in-crowd.
May of these don't seem like binary adjustments, though. Perhaps you can increase the tolerance to radiation, but how? Perhaps by causing the body to produce a protein that shields cells from these effects, much like melanin does for UV. Assuming you do this, you immediately have to ask, what other effects does that have on the body? When these cells are destroyed by radiation, what are their breakdown products? How quickly can the body replenish them? What new nutritional requirements will be necessary to support them? The same questions can be raised for any of these "DNA feature flags."

It seems to me, viewed a certain way, the human body is almost entirely driven by emergent phenomenon. I have serious doubts about our ability to edit the source code to achieve very straight-forward single side-effect modifications.

We may very well be limited to merely adjusting "errant" DNA sequences that cause or are implicated in disease or undesired attributes. Who would choose a short child? Or one with myopia? Or one with weak muscles? Or even one with the misshapen chest and facial orifices necessary to survive lower partial pressures of oxygen?

The long term effect of custom genetic modification actually seems like it would just be used to reduce the overall genetic diversity of humans on the whole, not to improve it in drastic ways.
The scuipie od changes was also intentionally smaller. I've seen programs where all it took to fix changes was maybe 15 minutes if you actually replaced the code, instead of injecting few methods to String class.
