Lead is an issue not because of the general fact that it is dirty pollution (like two-stroke engines), but because of the precise neurological effects of lead in human bodies specifically.

Alternate title: "Chinese air force is flying in international airspace close to Taiwan."

Military planes flying unannounced into the air defence identification zone (ADIZ) is not an incursion. They are still flying in international airspace.

Taiwan has huge ADIZ. Taiwan's ADIZ extends deeply into mainland China, but obviously, Chinese warplanes flying unannounced over their own territory are not reported as news.

From the abstract, this sounds amazing. One dose, many light sessions. Much more targeted toxicity.

I've received PUVA therapy to treat chronic Graft Versus Host Disease. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PUVA_therapy

The psoralen drugs kinda sucked. And I always developed an intolerance to the light. Skin would burn before receiving therapeutic amounts of light, so not worth doing.

Much later, I had much better luck with UVB therapy. I have no idea why it worked better for me.

I don't understand much about biology (square peg, round hole). But light therapy always seems like magic to me. Explanations for why and how it works is huge progress. There seems to be huge potential.

I also anticipate using UV light for diagnosis. Last time I mentioned it (here on HN) I got some great links. But none of those advances have made it to my current care providers (SCCA, FHCRC). Soon.

Maximum power takeoff seems reasonable, and unexpected 10% power loss would be a very good reason to abort, but I don't see why you couldn't trade (stable and safe) 10% power for 10% runway and clearance, maybe some weight, altitude ..

You would need to reassess and update your tables, so regulations and certification are a big issue, but I don't understand why would it be technically unrealisable. Half a century after we know it's harmful seems a long time to stop spewing lead all over the place.

Amen. Politicizing and protesting mask wearing is the dumbest thing Republicans could have done to their own agenda of keeping the economy going. I really don’t get it. What our leaders should have been asking us to do is wear a mask to go out shopping safely. At least Fauci admitted it was a mistake to say early on not to get masks, at least his statements were aimed at protecting COVID responders, and at least he corrected it fairly early on.
This commentary is interesting in that it's absolutely correct, but adds absolutely nothing to the discussion.

Momentum scrolling has a capped velocity†. Your velocity with momentum scrolling approximates a sigmoid. And the cap is far too low to actually get somewhere, if where you want to be is “somewhere in the last few chapters of a book” and you’re currently at the beginning.

Scroll bars, on the other hand are perfect for that kind of jump — where you don’t know what you’re looking for, but you know mostly where it is, and you’ll recognize it when you see it.

† There was a time, right when momentum scrolling was first introduced as a third-party mouse-driver feature ca. Windows 98, where it wasn’t capped. But that was a horrible UX: if something was really far down the document, then by the time you saw the thing you wanted to stop at, you would often be going far too fast and overshoot it by a lot, requiring almost as much scrolling back in the other direction. This first iteration of the feature basically expected people to understand how to “land” on a target using inertial, frictionless thrust. I imagine there were some future Kerbal Space Program players who enjoyed that, but most people didn’t.
I love this solution, as it reveals that the "name reset" answer is not given in good faith. "become someone else" is not an answer to "how to remove this from myself".
According to phonology, all I-languages must be both systematic and practical, meaning they must be easy to write and read but also easy to speak. I actually ask the questions you have every day of my life.

Cost. Turbine engines are expensive to buy. (Think $500K-$1500K each for small ones vs $35K-75K for pistons.)

Cape Air passengers aren’t willing to pay enough to let Cape Air operate B200s or Metros.

The mostly business owners flying themselves privately in support of their business have more money to spend on tools to run their business than Cape Air pax or banner tow advertisers. They went turbine because turbine engines have incredible dispatch reliability.

Believe me, if turboprops cost anywhere near the same, the piston airplane market would evaporate overnight.
Weirdly, IMHO, one of the great advantages of the early BBC website infrastructure was directly because they had no state or need for customisation or dynamic pages.

Some BBC Techs told me, back in the early days (1997?-2004?) when other companies were fighting with Vignette and Bea and IBM etc. and worrying how to balance the database, thread, webserver pool for high scale sites, and falling over at every high traffic moment, the BBC had this monster static Apache estate off loads of servers, with a hand-built Perl scheduler which essentially copied your 'subsite' or changes to a subset of these static servers, from whatever static ingest you gave it. This meant as long as you had a semi-centralised site/ information architecture and a good team on the Perl scheduler and load balancing; any internal content subteam could go off and build what they wanted, with whatever CMS/hand tools they had, as long as it spat out a static staging site the Perl scheduler could handle.
This model/process/ org structure way out-performed the rest of the UK internet in uptime/performance/cost, and it let a thousand flowers bloom; but only for a one-way read only system - no custom content/ ads/ offers/ personalisation - probably hard to even do centralised log analysis.

<NB agree with Lattelazy - do let the BBC keep innovating, they have come up with some great stuff in content and tech, so keep keep giving them the chance>
Right. There was a period in maybe the 2000s? when a number of the formerly parallel interconnect technologies were being replaced by serial ones because the frequencies had gotten high enough that clock skew was becoming a big problem.

Complexity and complication are merely undesirable side effects of advanced things.

They are tolerated only under duress, as the cost to get some more valuable result.

If a thing is more complicated and difficult, and does not provide a more valuable result, then it's the opposite of advanced.

My friend wanted higher math in High School. He talked to the Principle, the School Board. Eventually got permission to take his boys out of school during the day for classes at the local University.

Fast forward 2 years - lots of parents doing it, carpooling. The School Board advertises their 'great new program for advanced math for students in conjunction with the University'. Which they didn't lift a finger to do. It was all my friend, a concerned parent.

Neal Stephenson's most recent novel "Fall; or, Dodge in Hell" is about cryonics. As usual, it's sprawling and arguably too long, but as usual, there are interesting ideas in there on the economics and politics of the idea, on simulation vs resurrection, etc.

Depends. If there's so much soot it reduces time between engine overhauls, that might not be good.

Then again, TEL causes shorter overhauls as well, so...

Anyway, like I said, there's a boatload of other properties the fuel has to satisfy as well. If it were as simple as just switching to p-xylene, presumably they would have already gone down that route.

The issue is that you said what bothers you about social media is "the sheer size of the population", but I would say the size of the population is what makes it social media. It's akin to saying I like cars except for the fact they move faster than a person. You could technically have something called social media that has low populations, but it would be so functionally different from the actual thing that using the same name becomes questionable.
Well, one approach is to parameterize your data-types such that they are fast in the usual case, but become perhaps slightly slower (but still on par with hand-written code) in the more versatile case.

To be clear - are you talking about this section or also including the following one (the crackdown on sex workers)? As far as I know, Sam Harris has defended the right of Lauren Southern to express herself on Patreon by raising funds to attack ships in the Mediterranean, but has not defended the rights of sex workers to express themselves on Patreon by posting "NSFW" (a misnomer, because Patreon is not usually a workplace tool) content.

So I'm not sure if Sam Harris is an alt-right taboo character, but I would claim that he is politically biased in what sort of speech rights he defends.

I also like the notion of “if this will matter tomorrow, don’t use chat”. Especially when working async across time zones. Logging requests and responses in an issue tracker is far more organized and less distracting/stressful.
Another trick is failure injection, e.g. go for a 404/410 for a small % of all requests or clients to figure out potential impact and give an early warning, then slowly ramp up the %.

I'm not sure I see the issue. This approach (putting raw binary data into files) is filled with footguns. What if you add, remove or reorder fields? What if your file was externally modified and now doesn't match the expected layout? What if the data contains things like file descriptors or pointers that can't meaningfully be mapped that way? Even changing the compilation flags can produce binary incompatibilities.

I'm not saying that it's not sometimes very useful but it's tricky and low level enough that some unsafe low level plumbing is, I think, warranted. You have to know what you're doing if you decide to go down that route, otherwise you're much better off using something like Serde to explicitly handle serialization. There's some overhead of course, but 99% of the time it's the right thing to do.

O_DIRECT prevents file double buffering by the OS and DBMS page cache. MMAP removes the need for the DBMS page cache and relies on the OS’s paging algorithm. The gain is zero memory copy and the ability for multiple processes to access the same data efficiently.

Apache Arrow takes advantage of mmap to share data across different language processes and enables fast startup for short lived processes that re-access the same OS cached data.

Often what I’m looking for in a document is a particular image or diagram I remember seeing, embedded somewhere in e.g. a long journal paper or textbook. I know enough to know what section of the paper or book it’s in, but I haven’t a clue what exactly it was labelled, let alone what the specific context was. But I can picture the diagram, so I’ll know it when I see it again, whizzing by. I just don’t need to whiz by the entire document, because I can be sure I saw it “in the middle” or “near the end.”
