That is definitely true. I do think Apollo was the turning point when rocketry changed from a development process focused on rapid iteration (seen as late as Redstone-Jupiter-Juno) to one focused on a lengthy design phase (and component testing) with late and limited integrated testing. The roots of the shift are probably in the ICBM world, but Apollo was when civilian rocketry (over)learned the lesson.

It has been a few years so maybe the technology has improved. My cardiologist explained that the Garmin technology only gets that level of accuracy if their calculation of max heart is accurate. With my conditions, he felt that my max heart rate calculation would be off by far enough to make it next to impossible to optimize based off of that data.

I'm in significantly better shape now. The next time I see him, I'll ask about VO2 max again - it's the only metric that my metric obsessed triathlon/running friends talk about that I don't have a timeline for.

Now all I need are wrists big enough to wear an actual adult sized watch.
IMHO, the home page really doesn't show cirodown in a great light. Its very dense, busy, and IMHO poorly formatted. I know it's trying to show off all the features, but it ends up just being a long sorta overwhelming page.

Perhaps the multi-file features of cirodown could be used to break this into multiple pages and improve formatting?

Personally, I wouldn't spend 80 years in school in one go. I would likely have taken a break to reset in the middle of my undergrad - and would certainly be in grad school now.

I'd imagine that many individuals will grow bored with their career after some number of decades and will switch. Starting at the bottom doesn't sound so bad if you can get to the top of the skill tree in 10-15 years out of 1000. It would practically be the same as spending a year on a transition today.
Current cans of cat food are setup as either a single meal or enough for 2 meals a day for a cat. Short to no time spent in a fridge with a weak lid. People do not want to have an opened can of cat food leeching stench into their fridge for long periods of time. No "reusable" lid I ever found could keep the smell out instead of ziplock bags, which get slimy and nasty if your reuse them but then you're constantly buying more bags.

A majority of the market won't buy bigger cans because they prefer the convenience of one time, limited use to potentially having your fridge smell like low quality fish and chicken product gruel.

But that doesn't make for an interesting response to the ravings of an uppity math professor. They didn't quite feel like trying to explain the habits of normal, regular people to a lunatic is worth their time. So they decided to have a laugh in kind.

Can you point to where the ice sheet itself is excluded? The temperatures the paper talks about are "surface" temperatures. That's not the temperature of the ground underneath the ice in my understanding.

Is your contention that part of Antarctica has warmed, while part hasn't? I haven't looked at the paper in depth, but it appears to actually say that Antarctica has not warmed, while the Arctic has.

An electronic nose is a big deal.

Yes. The sensors are the problem. Processing the data probably isn't a huge job.

There was a startup trying to do this in 1999.[1] Cyrano Sciences, Inc.
They got some Small Business Innovation grants.[2] They were trying to build a chemical weapons detector badge, an oil/fuel leak detector, and related devices. They developed a handheld unit, the Cyranose 320.[3]
They were acquired by Smiths Detection (UK). They sell various devices for detecting explosives, drugs, disease carriers, and such. "Currently trialing rapid detection airborne COVID-19."[4]

I don't consider corporate IT or Starbucks to be trustable.

AWS I would "trust" slightly more only because I get to implement the infrastructure and among the sea of trillions of requests they serve it would be a bit more of a challenge for them to figure out which of those requests are VPN browsing data and clean that data. I can also mildly obfuscate and pollute requests using their own infrastructure and make it hard for them to extract anything meaningful about me unless they really wanted to.

Basically AWS isn't already set up as a VPN service, so they'd have to put in a nonzero amount of time to extract, parse, collate, and analyze VPN logs, let alone figure out which instances among their billions are actually VPN instances, especially if I run a non-standard, modified protocol. Unless I was some Snowden-like target it's unlikely they would waste a couple weeks of engineer hours to wireshark and clean the data from my instances.

Mullvad on the other hand handles 100% VPN browsing data so if they unscrupulously keep logs, they would have clean logs to begin with, nicely organized by username, which is scary. They wrote the client and they control the protocol. They also rent their instances from various providers (the names of which they disclose on their website) and I could presumably just bypass them and rent an instance with one of those providers directly.

I love development. I like designing the algorithms, coding them, testing, debugging, even documenting. Project planning is great with me, like being a team leader. I do not enjoy tedious meetings. Tedious being anything over 30 mins where my GAD (give a Darn) is broken. Writing papers justifying why we need more people, why something cannot be done etc.

As for OP, I think if schools would teach debugging and code structure better, then he might have stayed with it. Surprisingly writing a parser taught me a lot about both.

To OPs current situation, why can you not be the SW guy in your group? I have met enough non tech professionals to know almost any group would love to have someone to do small projects. Typically they must have some domain knowledge, which after 15 years you should. Question is, can you percieve any projects?

Even entry-level candidates have some idea of what jobs pay.

Some recruiters are more circumspect, but a lot of them will give a salary range if you ask.

That information can also be found on places like Glassdoor or by talking to acquaintances about the offers they got or getting second-hand accounts of offers that people got. That information can be pretty inaccurate, but people still make decisions based on it.
> Honestly, the whole thing reads like a hit piece.

To me it reads like cognitive dissonance. They write multiple damning statements (yes based in science) but conclude with 'voluntary changes' and 'more research'.

I'll mention that the piece speaks about FDA not needing baby food manufacturers to test the final product of the food, only the ingredients. Multiple independent studies confirm that the manufacturing of baby food products is outrageous, in terms of what is allowed. Compared to adult food, it's a double standard.

Instead, baby foods should be held to a higher standard. But this Democrat Committee is okay with 3 companies (of 7) not responding to their inquiry, only 'suggesting' private changes, and kicks the can down the road with a cop-out like 'more research needs to be done by the FDA'.

It's a long document but corruption and negligence is bipartisan [1].

[1] - This is b/c the report condemns Trump for hiding hazardous facts about baby food products but then with those facts they/Dem-led only commit to lip service.
Wow, esbuild comes away as the clear winner overall. It’s always the fastest — often at least 10x as fast as many of the others – and its compression ratio was within 2% or so of the best in all cases.
I found esbuild a few months ago and... never gonna use a different one when doing things manually, the speed different is abyssal. It takes two orders of magnitude lower than the alternatives as shown in these benchmarks.

On the other hand, with Node.js supporting native import/export, I also find myself bundling+minifying the code less and less. Just wish Create-React-App started using it, since I cannot be bothered to dig there enough to manually set it up (the goal of me using CRA is to avoid manual config).
It was OK on the CoCo2. ISTR doing it for some games I wrote in BASIC.

Othello for Desktop, Mobile and Web: An AI and GUI Exercise (2017)
I do a lot of manufacturing adjacent and overlapping work. The primary justification for cans (by a long shot) is going to be process steps and cycle time. Very roughly counting manufacturing operations, while surely overlooking tons of other handling and preparation common to either method:

A double capped can has 7 specific manufacturing tasks: 3 cutting steps (2 ends, 1 center), 1 roll forming step, 1 weld step to close the cylinder, and 2 end capping steps. Forming ribs into the cylinder and can should happen simultaneously when the cylinder is roll formed and when the ends are punched from sheet stock.

A single capped can has 4 specific manufacturing tasks: 2 cutting steps (1 blank for the can, 1 lid), 1 draw form step, and capping the end. Trimming the edges of the draw formed can should be combined with the forming operation.

Draw forming tools are expensive, the world is still full of cheap, perfectly functional, secondhand canning equipment. Either way, cans sell for cheap and at low margins. Takes a lot of volume to make ROI. Or... Aluminum! Aluminum is far more expensive than steel and is finicky to weld reliably. Draw forming soda cans eliminates any need for welding and allows manufacturing of thinner can walls, which reduces material consumption, and the bottom can be shaped to hold pressure with less material.
Fair enough. Have you been doing this for long? I always wondered if it’s a lonely job.
I currently have the dynamic language blues – Python to me just doesn't feel like as much fun as it used to. Maybe it's getting too big and/or too crufty. At the moment I'm having great fun with Rust instead, which feels as magical as Python and C did when I was twenty years younger.

That said, bash/sh are really good at setting up pipelines to pass around lines of text between Unix tools. That is a really cool thing, and most languages don't really make this as first class concept. Because bash does, and I have twenty years of experience with it, I mostly put up with Bash. It's not a great language but it gets the job done, literally.

I recently read some stuff about Julia which made me interested in it as a potentially better Bash (and hopefully more fun than Python) –

The specific issue is the VPN provider harvesting data about your traffic and selling it.
You should check out The Tassajara Bread Book by Edward Espe Brown; it's a masterwork of clear technical writing. The first basic recipe is expanded over 20+ pages, explaining not only what to do but _why_.
Thanks. So far, pip install --upgrade spyder has worked with no hiccups on WinPython, but it's good to know there's an alternative.
Unfortunately option one is the fantasy solution that doesn’t actually work. It has been tried. It doesn’t work.
There's a difference between having fun at work, and having fun allocated by work. What most companies have is enforced fun - once or twice a year you'll go to an offsite location with free booze and try some ridiculous forced activity, and the desperate hope from corporate that that can take the place of actually enjoying your job. What most companies want is an atmosphere where people have fun and are passionate actually doing their job. That's what you see in these early annual reports from Netflix - people enjoying what they do. Now, in reality in business sometimes the imperatives change, but that doesn't make those two things the same.
Doesn't matter which situation is closer, they're both nothing like a marriage. There are more than 2 ways to think about it. If marriages are like a car, then there's also the option to ditch it and not get a new one. If it's like a critical body part, someone is way too dependent. Also, those relationship advice books focus on minor issues, not one where someone isn't willing to change, and certainly not willing to read a book like that, and instead demands the other just "love them for who they are".
Not sure why this was marked dead...
But I enjoyed it.

Thanks!
It was a PHP 4. And this was in the time PHP 5.3 was already available for production.
I'm not a fan of this either but at the time of publishing in 2018, that was standard boilerplate text. We will certainly revisit, thank you for pointing this out.
> France has done the right thing, it has allowed girls to choose

France bans face veils in public. How is banning one of the two choices allowing them to choose? You don't respond to people being forced to do one thing by forcing them to do the opposite thing. It's also completely patronizing to just assume that women only wear the hijab just because "their elders force them to". I know plenty of people who choose to wear it of their own volition.
> Isn't bankrupcy a pretty healthy outcome to a business?

Absolutely, especially when the alternative is financial ruin because you didn’t take legal remedies available to you.

People get caught up in absolutes because they fit in a nice box, but most of the time life is messier.
Could you elaborate on this? How do you create your own VPN on aws (or any other server)?
I once did that for Web CGI with pretty elaborate HTML that used pulled data. Doing Web CGI in Emacs Lisp at the time was even much more productive than in Perl.

If someone is trying to measure the executable startup performance, check that you've disabled loading of non-base Emacs Lisp code you don't need, and also make sure that your application code is byte-compiled on disk. (Usually, compiling the base Emacs binary involves/d loading a lot of Lisp code and doing whatever bytecompiling it did in that version, and then saving a core image to disk, so that you don't have to do all that expensive stuff. But if your distro is forcing loading a lot of additional Emacs Lisp code at each startup, you'll take a big hit. There are command line arguments to disable the site-specific and account-specific Emacs Lisp loading.)
> By failing to build sufficient housing, certain superstar cities have become mere playgrounds for the wealthy—especially the childless wealthy. “The walls we’ve put up around our most productive cities have made it hard to accommodate more people,” the economist Enrico Moretti told me. Anti-growth housing policies in rich cities reduce national productivity

Too much anti-growth policy might inevitably be orthogonal to the thing property owners in A-list cities want: continued price appreciation. If high-wage workers bounce, today's B-list cities will become the new A-list and get the lion's share of post-2021 housing appreciation.

Knee-caping a cities economic growth by placing hard limits on the number of people who can live there will inevitably harm its home prices.
I also find myself wondering about this from time to time. For the last year I have written all of my posts in markdown first, and then converted them to html before publishing. So a markdown oriented workflow is really appealing to me. I don't allow comments so that isn't a concern. My site really could just be static at this point.

Some things that hold me back:

- The migration process. I don't really want to invest a lot of time in migrating everything to a new tool.

- Automatic generation of things that are important to me like sitemaps. I would say RSS but I don't think anyone actually subscribes to my RSS anyway.

- Media management. A lot of my posts include pictures. Something I really appreciate about WordPress is how easy it is to do things like adjust the size of an image for a given post as well as adjust how the text flows around the image. I know you can do all of this with CSS, but then I would have to memorize all of that. I nice compromise would be something like a modern day Front Page (in the sense of being desktop first) with in editor tools for things like linking to other pages, posts, and tags as well as adjusting image position and size.

- Analytics. I guess it isn't terribly important. I don't get a ton of traffic, but knowing how many page views I get is something that keeps me going regardless. I do hate how absurdly bloated jetpack is though.

What I really want:

- Markdown first authoring with some WYSIYG features for managing media, page links, tags, categories, and permalinks.

- Desktop first editor that uses git for storage and tracking changes.

- Automatic generation of sitemaps and rss.

- Some way to track page views.

- Easy migration from WordPress. Ideally it will be something like "install this plugin and download the export of your blog".

- Configurable theming. It'd be nice to have a way to put together different wrappers for your site with the CSS lib of your choosing.

- Export everything as a nice static bundle that is easy to deploy from the desktop tool.

There is probably more that I can't think of right now. I've often thought of building something myself, but that would take away from my writing time. In the end I always end up sticking with WordPress because it mostly does everything I want it to do.
They are large (popular) sites though. They have actively decided to not support RSS as they believe it is counter to their advantage. It's not like they don't have the resources to support RSS.

What this means is that we have a moral obligation to support and push RSS in our work/spare time. This is something I now recognise I need to do at least.
I’ll call out directly.
Life and health got ruined.

Rented a house from Invitation Homes. Show up. All windows open. House looks great, sign paperwork. Agent leaves.

Closed up windows, notice a chemical smell. Call, and told it’s just new carpeting, will be gone soon.

Me and family proceed to get extremely sick over the next months. Like people can’t wake up, forgetting names, stroke symptoms, etc.

Many calls got nothing but run around. Our mental capacities are greatly diminished.

Turns out there was a massive natural gas leak. Plus multiple appliances emitting Carbon monoxide.

Gas company stated it was a race to dying in sleep or house exploding.

So they knew house had weird smells and fed us endless lies about carpets, flooring, paint etc.

Carbon monoxide detector that came with the house was defective.

Destroyed health and career. One kid went from advanced placement to special needs. Dog went insane.

We also had a wall catch on fire, ac drop through a ceiling into kids room.

We left moment we could, and have a nice big bill from them for breaking lease.

Invitation Homes is straight up evil.
People use VPN services, as opposed to say why enterprises use site-to-site VPNs, for a variety of reasons:

- Access geo-restricted content on say Netflix

- Privacy - one encrypted pipe to hide what you're doing

- Hide source IP address (perhaps for researching a competitors website etc)

- Protect insecure services (though the services would need to exist on the VPN endpoint or they would be exposed at the VPN->insecure service termination).

- Bypass ISP throttling (yup this works and is always funny as ISPs deny they do this but hey, easy to check!)

- Avoid censorship even in places like the UK (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_censorship_and_survei...)

And more. So there's plenty of use-cases for a VPN in 2021. But it's worth thinking about how the threat model changes as a result of using one especially if you're not hosting it yourself.
It was a totally custom ERP application in PHP, no frameworks. The style was very idiosyncratic to the original creator.

And to top it off we did not have a versioning system or test environment, we did everything live, right there and then.
Note that the article is only about securities fraud.

From the abstract I assume they looked at the group that was reported to the SEC for fraud and compared to a random selection of 500 companies and then compared what percentage amongst those two groups were big corporations, growth pressures etc..

Regarding the control for undetected fraud, there could be various methods that one can employ (e.g. when one has some statistics about undetected fraud for example). From the formulation in the abstract I assume that when they apply the controls their findings don't change, so with or without the controls large corporations are more likely to commit fraud.
We've edited the title to make that clearer. Thanks!
I’m not sure, the Catholics up the street haven’t whipped any gay people lately as far as I know, so the comparison you make isn’t the same.

OpenFaaS has a rest API, so no that's not accurate - you can scale to zero and back again.

You may have been "toying" - many people do, but here's some examples of end users https://www.github.com/openfaas/faas/tree/master/ADOPTERS.md

faasd uses pausing of containers so there's barely a noticeable cold start unlike with Kubernetes where it can take a couple of seconds.

Up until 2018 everyone just used a min scale of 1, and was very happy because it meant never having to bear a Kubernetes Pod being scheduled. This is one of the reasons that faasd is quicker - no distributed state to manage.

Feel free to ask for help on Slack if you are unclear about scaling. I'm sure the community would be happy to help.
