For road biking I can't provide much advice, but I'm sure Dylan Johnson does. He has a great YouTube channel and he does nothing but quote whitepapers and studies.

For XCO, one must learn to load/unload wheels as they go over obstacles. The more you practice this, the more efficient you get at it; so rather than just plowing through obstacles with the gas pedal floored, figure out how to traverse rocks and roots using weight shifting only. Learning to manual on flat ground with the seat post all the way down can probably teach you a ton about weight shifting.

Another big gain for me is learning how to judge how difficult a climb is and keeping a very steady pace up the climb. It takes practice, but the steadier your pace[power output] is, the more efficient it will be.

If you're not shifting constantly, you're not doing things correctly :) You should be shifting before you hit your climb and should time when you need to put power down with your shifts so you don't have to shift under load.

An oval chainring can help prevent pedal stalls at the top of stroke (I use the OneUp Components Cinch 32T) on both climbs and rock gardens.

Make sure your bike fits your body as we're all built pretty differently. Literally learn everything about stack height, seat tube angle, bar rise, head tube angle, reach, bottom bracket height, wheel base, chainstay length, etc. There's important pedaling dynamics like anti-squat that are affected by everything in that list :)

And of course, training, weight loss, etc as you probably already know.
> In this case, it will be hard to take back power and the narrative from the public health establishment.

Sitting in California where county sheriffs basically comprehensively vetoed the public health establishment throughout the crisis, I don't see that likely to be a real problem.
Crockford regularly displays a stunning degree of tunnel vision.

Without a standard format for comments, you have no reason whatsoever to expect the ad-hoc comments in a JSON file made by anyone who isn't you to be styled like JavaScript comments. And if your response is "then everyone needs to use JavaScript-style comments", well, TA-DA, you've just added comments to the spec. You can't have it both ways.

> It's imperative that the JWCC author explain what they find lacking in Doug's solution - stripping comments before handing off the a JSON parser

If the syntax rules for adding comments are unspecified, then the the syntax rules for what to strip out are unspecified too!
A simple physics-based plane model (like the one we made to understand vehicle-level impact of our technology development) dictates that the range-optimal cruise speed is proportional to 1/sqrt(air density), so it makes sense that the blackbird was more efficient at high speed when at high altitudes (admittedly, this simple model is subsonic, and there are a lot of other factors for supersonic flight).

Since having lower air density also means you need a higher lift coefficient (angle of attack) to produce the required lift, and then you have more lift-induced drag (which goes with the square of the lift coefficient). I think air density more or less washes out when it comes to its impact on range. That being said, you cover the full vehicle range at a higher velocity at higher altitudes, so it certainly seems like there would be significant benefit from a travel-time perspective.

All that being said, there are significant high voltage insulation challenges at higher altitudes, which is something we are working on.

Len Sassaman and Satoshi
Brooks has since amended this[1] to say that he really meant it in the context of traditional "waterfall" development, where the first iteration is meticulously planned and designed as a whole system before any code is written at all.

Rapid, iterative prototyping, followed by refactoring, is a perfectly reasonable approach today. No need to create a fresh repository and rewrite all code from scratch.

David Heinemeier Hanssen, creator of Rails and a big advocate of building working code as early as possible, wasn't even born in 1975 when the mythical man-month was written. Linus Torvalds was a (presumably) plucky 6-year-old. Brooks wrote that book for an audience that would have known waterfall as the only way.

A Breakup Letter to My Writing Career
Imagine someone who thinks the uploads have no moral status being uploaded, and then having a conversation between the physical and digital selves. The digital one pleading for moral status and the physical one steadfastly denying their own copy moral status.

What a nightmare to change your mind now that you're digital and be unable to convince your original not to do terrible things to you.

You forgot MD Data, and MD Data2, and their assorted list of supported file formats.

Some played MP3, some did different incompatible versions of ATRAC, some did raw PCM packed in two different containers.

And there was even a digital videocamera using Data2.

Panasonic MD was also barely compatible with Sony's one. Record in one, but not play in other.
Aim to Get Rejected Often
Let me reframe this: You are the director of engineering. I am a manager reporting to you.

You ask me to hire and lead a team to build X, which will generate $Y in revenue. But I tell you that everything is delayed, because I'm having trouble finding good hires.

"What's the problem," you ask, "let's pair up and go through the funnel." And I reject resumes because I don't like the profile pictures or some old homework assignments.

Do you accept my argument that the company has to wait on $Y in revenue until I find some candidates who have nicely formatted github profiles and a blemish-less history of code, even code not written for professional purposes?

Or do you replace me with a manager who is focused on shipping a product using whatever team of misfits and uglies they can hire, provided they can actually do the job?

---

It's not unreasonable to prefer that candidates make our job as hiring managers easier, but at the end of the day, the hopes and dreams of an entire organization rests upon our ability to hire people who can do the job.

If our funnel is bursting with great people, we can disqualify unlucky people with little consequence. But for most companies, it's better to hire good engineers that have flaws in their presentation than to wait in the hopes that someone will present well, have the job skills, and be willing to accept the offer we can afford to make.
My guess is that they meant parsing code that has been "commented out".

Not sure what you mean by timestamp, but I don't think that works for the example I posted. If I rewrite the first commit in history, every single entry will have different sha's and commit dates. With offsets, clicking "next" will at best feel like nothing happened, or at worst run into the mild off-by-one confusion. With ids, there's no way for the system to know where to go unless there's custom logic to somehow map old sha's to the new ones (assuming that is even possible).

> The n+1 problem has solutions though.

It does. But it also means that the problem exists. It's there, you run into it by default, and you have to take special care to make sure it doesn't happen. And data-loaders are just a first step. Some systems try to actually calculate query complexities and nesting depth.

> this is the exact problem you'd be punting over to the client to solve -- all that GraphQL is doing here is moving it back onto the server. The actual amount of work is the same

Exactly. The complexity doesn't go anywhere.

I... don't know how all this is an argument against what I said.
In a high cost of living area that would most certainly be the case. Usually these devs will get room mates and do other cost cutting activity to compensate but I imagine they'd be the ones most economically drawn to this solution other than other underpaid parts of the world.

There used to be a real energy to French electronic music. Between Daft Punk, Justice, Something a la Mode, Madeon, David Guetta, C2C, Joris Delacroix, Birdy Nam Nam, etc.

Which country is that?

My experience, and that of my kids (in USA) is that pencil is used through high school for daily work. When I was in school, final drafts of essays or other papers could be in ink or typed. Math and science was always done in pencil. Today, pretty much everything written is submitted by computer. Kids can barely print legibly, forget about cursive writing or any care for penmanship.
Because they are stressed from an unexpected and public termination, you think they're "activists"? Activists for what? Or is "activist" the new "communist"?
"Lockdown" can mean anything from closing pubs to mandating that nearly everyone stay home 24/7.

There's no great mystery here. The virus primarily spreads in indoor settings where people breath the same air. A lockdown is only effective to the extent that it stops people from getting into those situations. Closing pubs will reduce transmission a bit, but not nearly as much as telling everyone to stay home.

Login.gov cribbed off of the UK’s digital office that built a similar system. I believe that’s what OP was alluding too.

How many unemployment systems, prisoner tracking systems, DMV systems do you need? These are common components across governments.

Example: Login.gov now supports local and state government partners. Your constituent IAM needs can now be met by a federal team that is efficient and competent, instead of every city and state reinventing the wheel (poorly and in expensively).

Loved fountain pens as a school kid in India. You had to write in cursive and "proper" handwriting was a big deal.

> _hire literally anyone you can afford_[0].

You realize there can be hundreds of people applying to any position?

Even after some basic filtering, there can still be tens of qualified candidates.

Deep down. Hiring is mostly about rejecting people because there are simply too many people.
Drones are typically quad or hexacopters that can take off and land vertically even in a stiff breeze. If you're talking about some other kind of drone then maybe you could specify it. But compared to quad or hexacopter an auto gyro would have a lot more loiter time just as a fixed wing would, and it could come down vertically at least to a point, but would not be able to take off or land vertically.

There is one particular brand of autogyro that can take off vertically by pre-spinning the rotor and then applying collective at the same time as disconnecting power from it. They tend to leap off the tarmac. But that is not the norm. Standard autogyros require a takeoff roll just as a fixing aircraft plane does. People often look at the rotor and think that it is like a helicopter but in fact it is more like a fixed wing aircraft in the sense that air must be passing over the wings / rotor in order to produce lift.

That being said, an autonomous autogyro does sound very interesting. One could pre-spin the rotor with a typical brushless motor and then leave it unpowered during flight. It does require collective control to be able to do that but even hobby helicopters have collective and cyclic control, so adding just collective control seems very approachable.
> I think most people who read news regularly can agree that nearly 100% of the news about China these days are negative, and never anything positive.

That's only relevant if you compare it to other topics and there's a discrepancy. There's very little positive content in the political news I read, even when it's about Western countries. If something works or is going well it's almost not news by definition, at least it's less likely to appear on the front page.
You sound like the manager in that story looking for a way to mark down the fee
I like Go for all these reasons too, and the fact that vim and a Makefile are all we need to be very productive.
> Though if you optimize for only the most likely cases, the effort is not much greater.

That's why most discussions involving complexities of GraphQL inevitably devolve into: "in production we only allow a subset of queries". Because actually implementing GraphQL as it's specified and marketed is quite an undertaking.
The text mentions spy satelites as the main factor that came later, as well as cruise missiles etc.

But still, radio triangulation was a known technic and submarines did exist and should have been expected to be build by the sovjets, so I am still wondering a bit, why the dedection issue was not mentioned.
Please tell me which epidemiologist "expert" has any expertise in public policy, mental health, business, cancer research, childhood education, restaurant ownership, haircare, finance, law, etc.

Because these lockdowns affect all of those things. Shouldn't "experts" in those fields have a voice in all this too?

Why is the only expert that is allowed to have an opinion worthy of being listened to the esteemed epidemiologist "expert"? Public health is more than the eradication of a specific form of disease, you know. Perhaps getting input from other experts might promote a more balanced take on how to deal with this pandemic.

And hell... plenty of the "expert" doomsday figures aren't epidemiologists at all and people have no problem reposting their announcements. For example if Andy Slavitt of Eric Feigl-Ding wrote an opinion piece on how we should have a ultra-hard lockdown for 6 months, nobody would call into question their expertise at all despite neither of them knowing anything about epidemiology or infectious disease.

By the way, I find it curios that absolutely none of the "experts" we are told to exclusively listen to have lost a single paycheck the entire 11 months this has been going on. Funny, that. Wonder what they would recommend if they stopped getting paid and had to spend two months on hold with unemployment trying to get a human to talk to.
> Griddy is simply an energy provider you can choose to hedge your bets and save money if you are smart. Plenty of people using it shut off their power or switched providers when they were informed of the incoming price surge. That some households ignoring the warnings shouldn't be a reason a service like Griddy can't exist.

It's not reasonable to expect households to monitor their electricity rates or alert emails that closely nor be prepared to drop everything to switch providers at a moment's notice for an entirely unexpected reason. I know I don't immediately read every email I get.

An even if someone was monitoring that closely, or was ready to jump, there's no guarantee they'll be able to switch:

It seems much of Tim's arguments revolve around the expense of transactions. But what about building on Nano if the cost on etherium is too high? Or any other lower cost alternatives? I'll admit, I have no idea what the transaction cost on Polkadot is, but there are lots of other interesting projects.

I agree with Tim's disappointment that the cost has risen to the point where it is likely hindering experimentation, which is probably what the crypto space still requires, but if that is the problem, let's focus on that.
I don't believe those numbers (the site it comes from has interest in telling people that influencer marketing is worth much, so grain of salt.). But anyway, even if they would be true today, they won't hold tomororow because everyone gets more followers but not more attention. Also, it's a "winner takes all" market like all media. Still, if you're famous today I bet it's easier than ever to make at least SOME money out of it due to social media and the ability to cut off a lot of middle man.
The problem is, that no one can give you (or themselves) a reasonable estimate on how much it will take (and thus how much it should cost) to fix an issue in an unknown codebase.

The mismatch is easily done away with by adding ratings to the system. So much so, than on similar platforms, if you are unlucky and run into a hard issue/prick customer (or some combination of this) too early then it can ruin your chances forever. (It does matter a lot whether you get your 1 out of 100 3* ratings as the first one or the 100th one.)

Somewhat important tangent: the JSON number type is not a double. It's just a number of arbitrary size and precision in integer/decimal/E format that can be parsed as whatever the parser finds fitting.

This distinction is important because you can't serialize infinities or NaN, and there's no guarantee the JSON number can be accurately represented as a double. JS likes to pretend that JSON number is interchangeable with Number and this can result in some fun situations when your Infinity becomes null

I guess the point is that JSON has about as much to do with JS as JavaScript has to do with Java.

Could something like this be fixed by leveraging the existing incentives? Something like if an inmate challenges the output of the system then they will automatically be released in, say, 90 days unless the output of the system can be validated manually, perhaps by a third party?

Suddenly there is an incentive to create a verifiable and correct system on the part of the prison-industrial complex itself.

Well, you would need significant energy storage either in the form of batteries or hydrogen + fuel cells as well :)

Our technology demonstrator is a 250 kW machine, but we have plans to scale up to the megawatt class in the next few years. Like Jason mentioned elsewhere in the thread, tens of megawatts are required for a narrow-body jet like the 737. There is significant aerodynamic benefit from having multiple distributed propellers/fans as opposed to two-four big ones, and likely this is the path forward for electrification of these larger planes, i.e. a lot more than 2-4 units, with single-digit megawatt capability per unit.
