It's no wonder, Craft is a great pick. I've built numerous sites with it and it works like a charm. What they nailed down is that it has great UX for content creators and developers as well. The speed at which you can build sites is amazing.

You can even build your startup MVP with it if you consider it as a headless, REST API prototype tool. Data modelling is where it excels.

I guess I have to stop praising, it starts to feel like a paid ad :)

Ignoring the whole "act of war" thing, everyone in this thread is dramatically underestimating how difficult it would be to shoot down a constellation that large. We can barely shoot down one satellite, at a cost of somewhere around a few million dollars.

I don’t know what the author means, that’s kind of my point. I wanted to state that the Buddhists do have a well-defined rather specific concept of enlightenment, because many people don’t know that. Many people in the West think it’s some mysterious vague state of spiritual awareness, as does the author of this blog post. I don’t think it’s uncharitable to point out that the word largely entered popular culture through people importing Buddhist, Hindu, and Vedic ideas, such as Alan Watts, Robert Thurman, Chogyam Trungpa, Richard Alpert, hippies returning from India and East Asia, and Tibetan refugees. Ideas from these people all got loosely meshed together to form what many call “new age” spirituality. I do think there was a lot of misappropriation in the sense that these ideas were taken out of context. A perfect example of that being Timothy Leary reinterpreting the Tibetan Book of the Dead to describe an acid trip.

And here we are, a Rabbi talking about enlightenment as something that can be born into, which contradicts the Buddhist and Hindu concept. I’m sure he means well, but it seems to me he’s talking about this “new age” notion of enlightenment, which is arguably a misappropriation of Buddhist and Hindu ideas.

But the key issue is, _who gets it first_. If older people get it first, you get what happened in New York and New Jersey. If young people get it first and you effectively isolate the old, then the number of cases doesn't matter - younger people aren't dying from C19. Unfortunately Sweden failed to protect their elderly - hence the body count. But they couldn't really do anything else, since they treat their constitution seriously, and it does not allow the restriction of freedoms.

Labor and cost are almost the same thing: cost is labor costs + capital costs (how much the woodland owner and the factory shareholders are making). Usually the labor cost represents most of the cost, but not always (for regular oil, it's not the case). You could also add taxes and other government-related costs, but since most governments run on a deficit, it would account as a negative cost overall.

>You can have a tensor R(x,y) that tells you the curvature of the rubber sheet as a function of position (x,y). And a scalar T(x,y) that tells you the temperature of the rubber sheet at (x,y). These are completely independent quantities. Different fields.

I get that it's an analogy, but I don't think they would be completely independent quantities here. There is likely going to be some correlation with temperature and curvature of the rubber sheet. It would likely pale in comparison to almost everything else though, but on the topic of discussion that might be a large enough correlation.

> good engineers will be knocking their doors down.

If good engineers are knocking their doors down then an army of average, mediocre, and bad engineers are knocking too. Identifying which is which is a notoriously difficult problem.

Good engineers are generally employed and happy, or at least satisfied. Changing jobs is an extremely high risk move. How often do good engineers change jobs? Not often.

Almost all companies hire heavily through word of mouth. Employee referrals are king. But eventually you exhaust that pool. It's a very hard hump to get over imho.

so isalnum is "their own specific variants of character related functions" for uchar, and locale-aware.

Given the authoritian regime, nobody outside of the involved authorities will ever know what exactly happened and why. Therefore, we can only speculate (that is, produce theories).

It's not clear if the person depicted in the video is him. I personally think it's not.

Some think that they killed him purely to spite the USA government, which implies that they decided to kill an american and fabricate evidence. So, that's another theory, with different premises.

I don't agree with it. I think that:

- he did something stupid (e.g. got drunk and yelled something against the leader);
- they decided to punish him, but didn't have evidence;
- they fabricated evidence;
- they punished him.

Techade quiz: A near-impossible guessing game of tech through the decades
The current leaders of US companies proudly and strongly resist considering their product lines as meaningful, beyond ROI.

But that doesn't work when you're in aerospace and have no regard for engineering tradition or skill.

You can see that in the implosion of GE, and now Boeing.

The US government needs to come up with a requirement that private contractors mandate high-quality training and oversight embedded into their internal processes.

Ironically, flight training materials and evaluation is very high-quality in the US, but it's a single manufacturer, Boeing, that's struggling to meet quality standards across all of their airliner models.
TLDR; glibc is complicated, musl is not. libc supports thread specific locales, musl does not.

The upside is that they pay your family approx 144K USD if it smashes into the ground and you don't make it ... for many people that is a nice chunk of change.
Boeing should just fire everybody who’s not part of management, subcontract an Indian or Brazil company and buy back its own stocks from the remaining money.

The musl isalnum code is completely locale-unaware. Which you might argue is a good thing as POSIX locales are awful, but still.

> "China is bad" is just the excuse here.

Wait. "China is bad" is not necessarily an excuse, it might be an end in itself. Populism needs enemies and threats to find and maintain support. By demonizing China (as it did previously with immigrants, BLM protesters, Iran, etc.) Trump effectively injects fear in the political discourse and creates the need for a savior with a strong attitude. Which is himself, of course.

Readers of HN are heavily leaning to the left and naturally very far from Trump's voters demographic, reflecting California's and the US's tech workers predominant political sympathies; but I see that the fear and distrust of China has taken solid roots and I wouldn't be too surprised if some of them ended up voting republican, driven by the fear that a democratic president could be less resolute against China. Such is the power of creating enemies.

it's not that hard to jam open satelite channels.

Just put a big air-baloon over each city(or even much larger areas), positioned aroung the direction the satelite is, and you can easily send a similar, but more powerful signal than the satellite and jam the reception.

Why iran doesn't do this is an interesting question.
Over the years I’ve learned few things are more permanent than a temporary solution.

This is something your hear in a lot of places. Often (not always) it seems to be spoken with regret. I think we should be quicker to celebrate than a problem has been solved (and seems to be staying solved!) without worrying so much about whether it was done "properly".

Indeed, I think the frequent success of temporary solutions should be seen as a challenge to the prevailing orthodoxy that software developers should be striving towards more discipline and process. Instead, we should be looking seriously at why quick fixes and cowboy coding work so well, and asking whether we can apply these more widely.

First Alpha Release of Briar GTK
> Why?

Because that's how the incentives align. The goal is to cut costs, the cost of outsourced training pilots + the margin of the outsourced contractor will need to be lower than the cost of in-house training pilots.

Also because that's how pretty much all of outsourcing goes, it doesn't take a seer to realise that what's happened essentially every time is going to happen again. Even less so considering Boeing's recent history of cutting costs at the expense of safety and reliability.

You had replied to a comment about censorship with a rhetorical question about free speech rights. The first paragraph in my answer was in response to this conflation: censorship by a private company is still censorship, rights aren't relevant.

The second paragraph of my response is more relevant here. Your house is not open to the general public except for me, it does not contain political discourse from billions of people, it's not owned by a company with a market cap close to a trillion dollars, and it has a plethora of viable alternatives.

You've just explained that the costs will be lower, not that the quality will be lower. It's possible costs will be lower due to better efficiency and hiring in different markets, not due to worse pilots.
