>> There is little meaningful overlap between such a program and an unmanned missile system; the relevance of Dyna-soar is close to zero.

Except that part of Dyna-soar was dipping back into atmosphere for plane change maneuvers. That dipping in and out of atmosphere to make course changes would seem very relevant to missiles.

But this quote is more telling of the author:

"Thus, while hypersonic weapons fly a more direct path to their targets, they lose much of their speed throughout flight, ultimately taking longer to reach their targets than comparable ballistic missiles."

No. A ballistic missile follows a ballistic trajectory. That means it is on a very fixed schedule, a tight min/max flight time to the target based on predictable spheres-in-a-vacuum physics. A hypersonic missile on a lower trajectory can indeed get to some targets sooner. It will require more fuel/energy to do so, as opposed to following the higher ballistic path, but fuel efficiency isn't a big deal when you are delivering nukes.
> That pesky regulated Militia part that everyone skips over.

It's not that people skip over it, it's that it's interpreted differently depending upon who you're talking to and/or whose ax is being ground.

The article below goes over a large amount of the differing interpretations and historical contexts of that phrase:

Been following this project for a while. Incredible community & devs, and it's getting better with each update. Surprised at how well it runs, too.
I personally found Homebrew to be really helpful when I looked at MacOS as a unix environment and tried to engage in local development as if it were a unix environment.

[Un]fortunately, I've stopped looking at MacOS in this way. I now look at MacOS as the better version of ChromeOS that runs on non-shit hardware (two time PixelBook owner, both of them had serious hardware issues, and getting support from Google for what they view as throwaway devices is not at the same level as the Apple Store/Genius Bar experience).

Taking the view that MacOS is a fat client for apps and browser use, that is capable of also running [Uni|linu]x VMs, and pushing myself to adopt the "local editor, remote runtime" working model, has been really liberating.

I now no longer look at Homebrew as necessary. Instead, I can use package managers built for operating systems that are intended to work with package managers and that whole ecosystem, rather than fighting against Apple's efforts to improve the local security environment.

In many ways, I feel like I've come full circle to where I was at in the mid-00's, working in a SaaS/enterprise environment developing on Windows using VMs for actual dev work so as to keep my local machine safe, healthy, and productive.

Rather than dealing with the annoyance of Docker for Mac, I can instead just work in a VM running normal docker, or one of the competing solutions, and this translates very closely to what I run if I'm working against a VM.

And if you are doing anything "serverless" or "server-light", it's even less helpful to try and continue working with the MacOS terminal userland.

So, hats off to homebrew for all they do, but I really think the puck is moving elsewhere and that's where I'm headed instead.
Yes, many. Every WebKitGTK based browser [1] will use JSC, so that includes the "GNOME Web" web browser, Midori, and a host of smaller niche browsers.

I'm going to disagree with you there. Have civil rights in China improved or worsened? Could they be even worse if Google hadn't left.

You're right that this is beyond the scope of Google in the same way that it's beyond the scope of any individual. But together humans can slowly influence other humans and doing the right thing might be a tiny influence but eventually these might add up.

This is rather written in the perspective of "shame on google for removing these API keys", but it feels to me that this should be a (small, incomplete, but still a) win for open source; if I want to run an open source, free browser, I don't want it phoning home to Google every day.

There's a separate problem in that Chromium isn't capable of any other ways of more freely and openly syncing the things it used to sync to Google's servers. But when thinking about any open source software, I feel that its important to separate "things it does which I don't want it to do" and "things I wish it did". In other words, code which was written that doesn't serve the users' interests, and code which could serve the users' interests if it were written. I don't believe its productive to worry or complain about the latter; its more productive to just write it, file feature requests, etc. Of course, in Chromium's case, its unlikely they'd be accepted, but that's a separate, third issue.

I also disagree with the article's position that Firefox isn't a valid alternative. Firefox is somewhere within the range of 98% to 102% as good as Chrome, depending on the website you're visiting. By comparison, I would place Safari (the only other real alternate browser on any OS) at 92%-96%. Firefox is a fantastic browser which can absolutely replace Chrome/Chromium, and should be used by more people if for no other reason than to add more balance to the Big Three. Throw out the FOSS ideals for just a second; there are effectively three browsers left, and the most ideal marketshare for those three is 33% each, given that the primary long-term benefit and risk from marketshare is, at the end of the day, power toward influencing the future of the web. Power should be distributed, always.

And this is hardly contentious, but the industry need a 4th browser. I would rank this as the single most important project any company, group, or individual could commit productivity to at this time. Of course, important things are rarely easy, but to me, it doesn't even matter if its open or closed source; open source would be better, but what matters far more is distributing power further.
That’s because we all see ourselves as the good guys in the story. It’s remarkable though how often decisions in tough situations always somehow end up benefiting yourself within whatever constraints are placed on your actions when there’s any kind of real conflict.

So if you’re the outsider, you see the harm. If you’re the insider you made the best decision possible with the information you had and the resources available to you. I think both viewpoints are correct in many ways (ignoring those that are blatantly dishonest).

Launch HN: Text Blaze (YC W21) Programmable snippets to automate tedious typing
Hi HN! We’re Scott and Dan of Text Blaze (https://blaze.today). Text Blaze lets you create programmable text snippets that you can insert anywhere in Chrome by typing a brief shortcut.

Before Text Blaze, we designed and built internal tools for thousands of sales and support reps at Google. As much as we tried though, our tools could never automate all repeated work for all users. We saw that there were always tech savvy reps who would build additional scripts to fill gaps and help save even more time. With Text Blaze, we wanted to create something for those kinds of reps to speed up and automate their boring repetitive work (and make it super easy for them to share with teammates).

Text Blaze snippets help users to do this. You can start by taking all the repetitive messaging that they have and making it insertable with a few keystrokes. Many of our users easily save hours a month of typing just doing that.

Technical users can go much further though. Our snippets can include form fields like text boxes or drop down menus in them and have dynamic fields with formulas. Users can use this to:

- calculate a 15% service charge automatically when entering a price in a snippet text field.

- or automatically pulling in the name of contact when sending a message in LinkedIn,

- or saving data to a Google Spreadsheet every time they use a snippet,

- or create patient diagnostic templates where the snippet may include a drop down to capture whether the patient is a smoker. If (and only if) the answer is yes, a follow up question and text box (number of cigarettes a day) will appear.

Think of Text Blaze a little like Zapier meets Emmet. Some of the ways people use Text Blaze have amazed us. For example, the Customer Success department at a European delivery company, uses Text Blaze to standardize their comms with customers and drivers and automate much of the related processes. For example, their snippets read conversations with drivers in Intercom and automatically send a summary of the required information to a rep in the relevant Slack channel.

Our most common users of Text Blaze are in customer support and recruiting, but we’re also seeing a lot of adoption in other areas like education (especially with the increased levels of remote learning with Covid).

Text Blaze is free to use for many use cases and we have paid versions with additional features and improved collaboration for teams.

Want to try Text Blaze out? You can get started by installing our extension from the Chrome Web Store (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/text-blaze/idgadac...).

We’re a Chrome Extension as we see more and more users are spending all their time in Chrome and we want to be able to closely integrate with the different web applications they use.

We would love your feedback on the Text Blaze here and your experiences with tools for end-user automation in general. What’s worked for you and where are there opportunities to improve existing approaches?
> Huawei is portrayed as evil, because the alternative is to confront our weakness.

While this may be the case with some people with loose morals, don't put your words in my finger tips. I portray all major Chinese corps as the worst possible alternative in most cases because they are backed by a government with modern day concentration camps

I hang in the EU a lot lately. My friend takes corporate groups on tours of various places. She told me of one group from China last year who happened to see European reporting on protests in HK, while they were at a bar. The group's reaction was "what is this a joke? Are they being sarcastic? Is this a movie?" They had no idea what was happening in HK. A couple of them sent messages home to friends/family about the matter and within minutes all of their phones were disabled.

This actually happened. I want that government as far from me as possible.

The generations so far has been roughly once every 2.5 years. Stretch it out to three years. Nor has each generation provided a doubling. Let's suggest a factor of 1 and two-thirds, to be on the safe side.

We could then expect LTO-10 in 2023, LTO-11 in 2026, LTO-12 in 2029, LTO-13 in 2032, and LTO-14 in 2035, with a final uncompressed capacity of about 234 TB. Note that I have been conservative for both the generations and the increases in capacity. If you squeezed in an extra generation and assumed a full doubling each time, you would end up at 1,152 TB, or the 1 PB predicted by the article.

This looks to be ... right on schedule.

Now if the cost of the drives would only come down ...
Looks neat. I'm struggling to get why Rust is important in this context? Is it a demo of Rust's features and a fun way to learn, or is it a major feature of the game which lets you do things that games like Miecraft (in Java) couldn't do?

* Is the client and server written in Rust, or just the server?
One big problem I noticed about gun death charts in the US compared to other countries lies in the data.

Look at the chart names. Fbi Gun deaths in the US and gun death crimes in whatever country they're comparing too. A third of US gun deaths are suicides, according to the FBI. With suicides, it's like 10-11 deaths per capita. Without, it's like 6-7 per capita. Countries with heavy gun restrictions, like England have around 5 to 6 deaths per same capita. Gun bans dont solve anywhere near as much as people think.

> every build has access to your entire home directory, the whole homebrew folder, etc.

Isn't this just whataboutism though? Yes that's potentially a problem but it's an orthogonal one. So not really relevant to this discussion.

A hypothetical solution to the problem in the linked XKCD would be to somehow prevent an attacker accessing your bank, it would not be to allow an attacker to install drivers without your permission.

> With MacPorts, you only have to trust the tooling, not the individual package definitions (though obviously the calculus does change slightly when bottles are in the picture, since then the build/install is happening elsewhere).

This calculus change is basically my primary concern.

Of course it's not ideal that Homebrew apps have access to everything in my Home, but that's still better than them having access to everything on my system.
It's a little bit more intricate than that. The point is to figure out what the customer needs. The Mom Test (book) covers this pretty well.

This page just kind of pokes at things everyone's frustrated about without offering a solution. But, as The Mom Test points out, there are lots of things people are kind of unhappy with, but are unwilling to pay for. I think the example they use are shoelaces: "Are you tired of bending down to tie your shoes? Having to stop in the middle of the street to re-tie them? Feeling your shoelaces wear out over time? Getting stuff stuck in there?"

Maybe, but are you actually gonna pay for a shoelace alternative? Probably not.

This page is that. It makes some sweeping statements about how work should be intentional and peaceful, and says "we're gonna solve it with a calendar", without offering any details about what that calendar is actually going to do.

If they had some screenshots, they could learn something about how their users engaged with the product. Saying vaguely positive-sounding things ("Rise is different than your current calendar, because instead of starting with meeting invites from others, it starts with you.") doesn't teach them anything.

The public suffix list currently isn’t done at the DNS level or the HTTP level—rather it’s a hard-coded list that all the browsers copy.

If I were redesigning whatever I felt like without backwards-compatibility concerns, things like TLS certificate authentication, HTTP Strict Transport Security and public suffix matters would certainly all be done through DNS.

Not sure if anyone has ever seriously suggested shifting the PSL into DNS, but it seems a pretty reasonable goal to me. Certainly a few other things of this general style (that is, things you need to know before making the HTTPS connection) have been shifting into DNS, and a public suffix list is a better candidate than most because it’s a comparatively restricted set of people that will be using it, so they can cope with setting DNS records (that is, you’re not pushing everyone into implementing it, which would be completely doomed to failure).

You are right that there are many marketing automation systems for sending emails or push notifications. We are focused on product notifications specific to a user's workflow. The API reflects that and, so does the design of the inbox. For example, the API accepts a category for each notification and you can set preferences per category (one of the categories can be marketing). When adding MagicBell to your frontend, you can write a custom click handler and redirect your user to the specific action they need to take on a notification. A lot of the marketing automation tools also lack an in-app inbox that offers a workflow for these notifications (read/unread/delete).

When it comes to going fast through the atmosphere I always think of the Sprint anti-ballistic missile [1]. From zero to Mach 10 in five seconds, accelerating at 100 g, glowing white with a skin temperature of thousands of degrees, to intercept an incoming ICBM that is less than 10 seconds away from impact by detonating its own low-yield thermonuclear warhead in front of the target. There are also a few bits of footage [2] on YouTube.

If that was the goal, it does a pretty poor job. The amount of times I've accidentally Googled things like 'internalserver', 'fileserver:80', or 'dockerhost:8000' over the years is way too high.

And when you do eventually reach any of them via manually prepending 'http://', they make the 'http://' not visible in the bar. What confusing signaling!

Hint for Chrome: if I'm appending a port and the DNS name exists I probably don't want to Google it.

How about contributing to dealing with global hunger and lack of education? Consider what would have happened had we actively helped developing countries become developed? That change alone would have accelerated the rate we make discoveries and improve technology simply because there are more brains at the task.

Sure his Day One fund exist, but until proven otherwise, I will take the cynical perspective and doubt the rich are willing to do anything besides pay lip service with respect to homelessness/lack of education. He could start by paying his workers a decent wage.
I am sorry to say but the design and implementation are horrible. You can't call something a cheat sheet when you've blocked copy paste and clicks. If it was meant to be helpful in any way it should be possible to click and create a pdf of the entire thing or make it a proper git repository. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
