Starship will be an incredible game changer for space economics. Look at this progression:

- $50,000/kilogram for 27,500kg of payload (Space Shuttle, 1981-2011)

- $2,500/kg for 22,800kg of payload (SpaceX Falcon 9, 2010-present)

- $20/kg* for 100,000kg of payload (SpaceX Starship, 2022??)

*: This is the estimated operational cost, not the price of a launch

For a ballpark launch cost estimate, assuming that the mirror segments would be mass constrained rather than volume, it would cost $8M (plus however far off the cost estimates are, plus profit) just to get the mass into space. Maybe say $20M just to pad it a bit? There would almost certainly need to be more money spent on designing the whole thing to work in space, of course. But these projects have long planning horizons, there's no way anyone would have considered building something large in space before Starship was announced (other than nation-state level prestige projects).

I suspect we'll see a flood of small to medium sized projects announced once Starship completes its first commercial LEO launch, then larger projects tentatively announced in the following couple of years.

Pandoc is A.MA.ZING. Can’t believe I didn’t know about this for so long.
I love Audacity, particularly after discovering the "Enable Cut Lines" feature [0], which is a nice solution for poor man's non-destructive editing.

Eric S. Raymond considered Audacity a great example of Linux UI design in "The Art of Unix Programming" [1].

I do, however, think mhwaveedit [2] deserves more attention. A really well thought out UI; excellent for small edits on Linux. It was also a direct inspiration for the writer of the mtpaint graphics editor [3].

So as long as a patient has the genetic markers for aggressive cancer, there is no reason we should lift a finger to give them life saving treatment? Just because people die, we shouldn't have laws for murder?

Just because a catastrophic outcome can happen naturally, does not mean that we should happily cause it to occur through artificial means or stand by and watch it happen naturally if we can avoid it.

So after a few more days of wrestling with wanting to make vast sums of money from the current hype with NFT art, and finding no settled ground to rest upon, I think it's kinda silly. I even went so far as to download GIFS from artists I respect and admire. I then made a slideshow of them on my phone. It was one of the most easiest DIY projects I've ever done, and even if I love making art, I'm not a DIY type of person for home improvement projects. All that is to say, with each passing day, I think it's kinda bullshit. It seems like if you're an artist trying to get in on the money faucet from crypto whales, you tacitly or explicitly choose to rub shoulders with the crypto riche, make art that appeals to their vanity and ego, and hype yourself up and other fellow artists and NFT buyers, to hope they do the same when it's your turn up at bat. It turned my social media feeds into an unbearable and overwhelming hype machine frenzy and I had to get away from those spaces altogether. I think the whole thing is kinda corny, but some of my buddies are making serious money from playing into all of it. I wonder what it will look like if and when the money faucet shuts off.
One confounding factor is that people don't fail alone (or succeed alone) - at least in anything really interesting.

So to really dig into failure it is not enough for an individual to share - the culture around the person needs to share and support the discussion. Otherwise the failure sharing effort is doomed to failure. (Post mortem culture is a bit of an answer here but difficult to initiate).

I think this is why the classic tragedies have withstood the test of time - they generalize failures wise people have witnessed and are great learning material (with surface entertainment as bonus!). I strongly recommend reading some of them with the perspective of being a student of human behavior.

Nothing like that. Just weird tingles and numbness, headache and what I’d call a left side chest ache. Doc says it’ll resolve in 4-6 weeks.

From context I’m assuming OP was talking about USD backed stablecoins.

That said, DAI is an interesting case in that it is now mostly backed by centralized assets rather than ETH.

I do not believe it is within the capacity of the average user to audit such a system. It would be simple for an average person to examine a USD account balance and say “yes the money is there”. But how can anyone figure all the possible tail events that could occur from DAI’s structure?

You probably already know it, but electric heating is very inefficient. You could probably save lots on heating by installing downhole heat exchangers. Insulation can also reduce the energy required for heating. Where I live they are adding insulation to newly renovated apartments.

> If Channel 37 were ever lost to TV, the gap would mean a loss of information about the distribution of cosmic rays in the Milky Way galaxy and rapidly rotating stars called pulsars created in the wake of supernovae. Closer to home, observations in the 608-614 MHz band allow astronomers track bursts of radio energy produced by particles blasted out by solar flares traveling through the sun’s outer atmosphere. Some of these can have powerful effects on Earth. No wonder astronomers want to keep this slice of the electromagnetic spectrum quiet. For more details on how useful this sliver is to radio astronomy, click HERE.

They're sometimes referred to as "Extrasensory perception", that is the ability to perceive things using senses which are not the base ones. The things perceived by these extra senses can be excluded from psychosis if in a controlled experiment. For example. One person holds a card with a number in one room. Another person with these senses activated, can then perceive the number correctly a number of times higher or much higher than the chance margin. Several experiments have been made on these phenomenons (which are in fact natural) for decades, with a higher than average degree of success. There's several disclosed papers from CIA for example, describing them in detail.

The two people in the meeting decide it. I'm sure if either of them are creepy then you will end up with a creepy meeting. Otherwise it's just a professional meeting with an agenda and a desired outcome, like any other.

If you have no goals that's your failing, not the meeting's. If you lack the imagination to see where you want your career to go or the introspection to see where it's headed then, again, your fault - not the meeting.

Questions I get in my one on one's with people who care and are going places:
-Why is the organization failing at x/y/z? How can I make that better? Is it worth fixing?
-I am having trouble accomplishing e/f/g goal - I've hit q/r/s roadblock. What do you recommend I do about this?
-I want your job, how can I change what I am doing to get me closer to what you do?

I also use them to get information I need from these people:
-How is your team doing? Is anyone under/overvalued?
-Are your commitments on track?
-Is there anything I can do to make you or your team more effective?

I mostly have these meetings monthly. A month is long enough for things to change. 6 months is too long - too many things have changed, too many have been forgotten.

Note that the SIAM office will format Plain TeX and AMSTeX files to LaTeX 2e. The LaTeX 2e macro package and documentation are available here or by email request.

hide assets with a publicly traceable and immutable ledger? you'd have to be a complete idiot to try that. Bitcoin is useless as a store of value if everyone can see how much you hold, where you acquired it, and how you've spent it..

but yes, there are other (actual) cryptocurrencies* that don't broadcast every detail about your transactions, which can be used for that.

*crypto- comes from the Greek kryptós, meaning “hidden.”
My understanding is an attestation is the company promising something is true (not sure if there are consequences if they lie). An audit is a third party promising something is true, with definite legal consequences if they lie.
I came up in the Java world using Eclipse exclusively for years working an a large enterprise code-base. One day someone convinced me to try the Intellij IDEA (Community Edition). Once I realized I could easily switch to the Eclipse keybindings it was all over.

Intellij is not perfect, but it is not nearly as "user-hostile" as Eclipse. Most things just work (without hours of fiddling). Updates to new versions just work. Dark themes just work. Honestly coding in Eclipse feels like a trip back in time after getting used to Intellij.
> I have seen the Milky Way very clearly from a few locations in the US.

> Given that the "master" in historic VCS programs (like Bitkeeper) is explicitly based on master/slave terminology, that git deliberately picked the term to maintain continuity of context with other VCS systems...

While some VCS programs may have used master/slave (I think maybe CVS did?), BitKeeper did not.

The (likely) basis for the belief that BitKeeper use master/slave and git followed them, the GNOME mailing list post[0] that reignited this discussion in 2019, was retracted the next year[1].

I wrote a summary of the history[2] for Git Rev News, the git developers newsletter. In short, the usage didn't come from BitKeeper, and was intended to mean 'master copy'.

After the article was published, Aaron Kushner from BitKeeper reached out and gave me some more history on the usage of 'slave repository' in that one particular spot in BitKeeper[3]: it was a presentation for a client that was already using master/slave terminology and so the same terms were used in the presentation.

I had to pull a all nighter on my personal machine to impress a job prospect. The project was in a mix of java/scala, I use both at work with Eclipse on my work machine.

On a whim, I decided to give VsCode a spin, since I don't code java for fun there was no IDE for it on my personal machine.

I spent the night pesting at VsCode. Many very basic things require a plugin, and some are not present.

Will not use again to do Java. I like it for python.
Doesn't seem fair because "Previous versions of Audacity are so buggy that they're barely usable." isn't true. Sounds like it was true for you, but not most other people. Otherwise it wouldn't be so popular, would it. I've never noticed a bug using it. Maybe you're doing particular things with it that I never tried to do, like I never used most of the effects.
I think people can have wrongheaded beliefs without state actors being involved, and after the number of such accusations I've received myself I'm pretty skeptical of them.

It's sort of mentioned indirectly at the beginning in that source-code scripts that use a shebang, or make use of exit, can introduce development barriers. I've not written many CL scripts but I like Roswell too, and haven't found those barriers significant/odd to work around. I agree Roswell is definitely worth checking out. (Plus at least for me it gets even more use by letting me trivially run my tests with alternate CL implementations...)

Like, I didn't even consider including "some ugly reader macros" to handle the shebang issue, since my approach has been to comment it out while developing and uncomment once I was ready to use it as a script. But I think this simple macro I put just now in my $HOME/.sbclrc file should suffice:

(set-dispatch-macro-character #\# #\! (lambda (stream subchar arg)
(declare (ignore subchar arg))
(read-line stream nil (values) t)
(values)))

And in some programs (not scripts) where I make use of uiop:quit, I just don't call those paths during dev, but this is the same approach the article has differentiating calling run vs toplevel.
This is archive.org's reader and scan, even pulls it from their cdn. I'm surprised you can embed it completely unbranded.

Apparently the greyed background link at the bottom takes you to the official site but just in the theater view. So I still can't navigate out of it to actually see archive.org without inspecting the url.

I'm mixed on this. archive.org should probably have some branding or site navigable something somewhere, right? nobody has brought it up over at https://github.com/internetarchive/bookreader/ . archive.org is fantastic. I don't know how to suggest to them to surface their brand and the library project.

> it takes about 10 minutes

After you've spent weeks / months reading blogs, installing dependencies, tweaking parameters, playing around deployments and figuring out new names for the same old stuff, debugging that extra whitespace in the yaml file only to figure out oww, you could use helm charts for deployments which is eerily similar to how jsp looked like 15 years ago and everything that was wrong with templating deployments than scripting it.

Then it takes about 4 mins.
