It's basically a two minima space.

You can get 10 launches per year and pretty high reliability and high cost. Satellite cost is maybe 10x the launch cost. Government and commercial operations are possible. Europe has to maintain this for strategic reasons, no matter the cost.

And then there's the "newspace" strategy. Low cost launch achieved by reuse brings more demand, satellite cost goes down. When price goes low enough, completely new markets become possible. You enter a virtuous spiral. This is at least the theory. Requires a large amount of political capital to do this, as it will be lossy for a long time and there will be high profile failures (because you do so many launches and iterate). So this is probably only doable by mega billionaires who "get it" (the newspace way of thinking), not by public companies or governments.

Even Elon Musk didn't "get it" originally, they were trying to fish the rockets from the sea and refurbish them. At some point he turned around completely. Grasshopper and vertical landing was done.

It might be standard, but it's a strange standard if you're not a legal professional.

How many people have to believe something before you either find at least one reasonable person among their ranks, or before you realize that the world is so full of unreasonable people that it makes no sense as a legal test?

The entire premise of golang was that it was a "simple" language with only a few keywords and a standard that's only a few pages long. While these metrics look good on paper, they are secondary (or even less) when it comes to real world complexity and gotchas in the language. IMO, Java, even with a longer standard, is a safer and more sane language and ecosystem to use.

That’s the solution. But it’s not as easy to install on Windows/WSL. Thus it’s nowhere near being accepted. They need a simple .exe one can run.

Currently it’s explaining a complicated install with 15 steps vs one click on Docker Desktop EXE. So podman will never be accepted in workspaces.
What is this man made of! Look at him go haha.

Well, refusal was considered desertion, and usually punished by death. Also see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1917_French_Army_mutinies, soldiers were still in the trenches but refused attack orders.

You say that like that's not an interesting observation. On the contrary -- that is a common observation that people frequently make about Coke in particular. It doesn't taste good, but people buy it anyway because it's Coke.

The actual form of the saying is something like "if every Coke factory burned down, Coke would be back in business the next day. If you hit every Coke customer on the head, Coke would be out of business the next day". (The idea being that if Coke's customers all forgot they were Coke customers, Coca-Cola wouldn't be able to grow a new customer base on the strength of their product.)
The Ruby Unbundled Series: Add Microservices to Your Rails App in Minutes
It does not say there is no competing contract, it says no contract would prevent fulfilment of its contract. The EU contract stipulates that the delivery schedule is only an estimate, so another contract that was estimated to permit that delivery schedule would not conflict. It also seems to stipulate that the initial 300M doses will be manufactured within the EU, but this is incidental to this claim.
This is already happening: the top 5 virtual influencers have over 11MM followers in total.

It's not clear this is healthier.

Sorry, but no. Work is supposed to work for me, as well as me working for it. Some people might be fine with perfect compartmentalization of work, but I would find it soul crushing to just be a corporate machine for 8 hours a day.
Thanks for explaining it.

It's however still annoying and could use a better design.
Obviously, the private market is about going above and beyond, in exchange for money.

The government's goal is to provide a baseline of service for everyone.

We don't want people to starve but that doesn't mean they get to eat out in an expensive restaurant.
It's not. In e.g. Germany, security cameras may not film public areas, or anything outside of your own property (and also not private streets leading up to your mailbox).

Additionally, they must always be clearly labeled, clearly visible, and before getting into the range of them you'll have to have a visible sticker warning about them, and having a clear GDPR privacy policy as well as contact data for whom to contact to retrieve or delete the footage in case it might contain you.
It depends on the "server" owner.
Yep, and that's pretty much my point. People often use these connectors for breadboarding circuits. So many different vendors sell "DuPont" connectors of varying qualities. To save myself from any trouble with these connectors, I simply don't use them and opt for 22 gauge solid core wire directly.

Ben Eater has a good video on the way he creates breadboard circuits, though his organization is a bit extreme for when you're prototyping. But in either case, you can use solid core wire directly and save yourself a lot of trouble.

I think you're lumping Discord in with the wrong crowd. Discord is insanely easy to use compared to the alternative, that's why nobody uses the alternatives anymore. I'd still prefer Mumble myself but I'd have nobody to speak to

As soon as it gets Microsoft all over it we'll all move on to the next Discord
There is an optional feature that let's you share what game you are currently playing to other people. It works by listing the current processes and matching against a preexisting list of games. If it finds a match it will set that as your current game assuming the setting for that is enabled.
I would love to see this used with music that's already extremely "algorithmic" and aesthetically lends itself to a computer-created process... IDM stuff like Access to Arasaka[0], Autechre[1], Qebrus[2] etc. Can I just take an artist's entire discography (or that of a few artists) and generate comparable material? Ahhhh can I have "more music" from my favorite artists!??! hehehe :)

Parent meant best in the sense of Billboard Hot 100.

Saying people will not be interested in AI music is like saying people will not be interested in movies with CGI.
So? Those people still won't be available, but plenty more will be.
async/await doesn't have to be painful: Slap a `#[tokio::main]` in front of your `main()` and a `.await` after your heim functions. Done.
Their reaction so far does not appear to be anything but attempting damage control on social media. Maybe a pattern is forming before our eyes.
I knew that would be Lorenzo's channel before opening the link. So many perfectly paced lessons on tremendously useful topics.
I can attribute my mental state change (to the worse) to the stress caused by stupidity of the COVID-19 mitigation measures.
Logging into Discord becomes a jump across 12 different domains and even then you're probably not in Discord yet.

Also the account you use for Discord is now the same one as the one with all your Azure stuff on it.

Yayy. Please Microsoft, ruin more social apps.
If only you would read 5 more lines you would notice author says it is syntax error.
Mmmm.... it's true for small places but for larger places like FAANG? They are spread out geographically in hundreds of buildings, and have to fly to see each other for meetings or anyway videoconference.

They do not actually succeed to "work together in meatspace" very well when their teams are already in different timezones, cities and even a drive away in the same city.

Some companies will springboard off this, and some will cling to the Old Ways.
I never assumed you were white. Just pointed out you were racist. You’ve now double downed on it with some strange implication that Asians can’t be racist.

Actually everything I’ve said is backed by fact, please point out where I’m factually incorrect.
> The problem is that they still want that optimal solution in the 30 minutes given to you.

This is only half true in my opinion. A lot of the interview questions I've gotten are pretty straightforward, for example given two lists of length M and N, brute force searching their product space is O(M*N), but if you sort one list the complexity reduces to O(NlogN + MlogN). I get the impression that the interviewer did expect me to sort, and writing code to do that was good enough.

On the other hand everyone shares stories about the really hard "gotcha" problems with clever optimal solutions. I've only been given one of those[0], and I did not come up with the optimal solution but I still passed the interview. I wrote a halfway solution that was better than bruteforce and I explained why any attempt I'd make to remove terms from the big O expression wouldn't work (obviously I could remove more if I was clever enough or given unlimited time).

So I would sum up my experience with they expect you to do better than brute force within 30 minutes, and to give them an intelligent conversation. I don't think this is easy, but it's not as impossible as you make it out to be.

I don't understand the negative reaction here. A human is a human. The US is still contributing to global vaccinations count heavily and once majority of Americans are inoculated, the world will soon be flush with those doses too. Then there's the fact that Moderna, Pfizer, and J&J were all involved in making them in the first place...
> People also tend to make biased snap judgements if you display your failures/faults rather openly. Always project your strengths and don't advertise your faults.

I believe one of the ideas behind this list is to help overcome the culture where you are supposed to hide your failures. Not a bad thing for a self-confident person, as the author probably is.

Of course for someone who feels so much depressed by their failures that they can't stop thinking about them over and over doing that might not be the best therapy.
Nevermind that, does that mean that their billing has an exploit and I can buy Substack Founder for $1? Or can I convince their system to bill me -$1 for that matter.
I'm not sure what you mean by this. Why do you think Julia was made for JIT from the beginning?

You can't analyse functions like this ahead of time:

function foo(x)
x + y
end

You've got an Any type interacting with an Any global. There's no better answer than you'd get from JS analysis.
I don't have enough Ada experience to compare, but Rust is IMHO much easier and less complex than C++. Rust is renowned to have a steep initial learning curve, but that curve doesn't climb nearly as high as C++'s.
It's very good for CLI apps, and quick one programs, web dev is decent Lucky is an awesome framework, the compile times make the code-compile-reload cycle subpar, specially if you compare it to scripting languages. Performance is normally excellent but the GC is suboptimal for some workflows, it's not yet written in crystal and it's too conservative recouping memory. The nicest side effect of crystal is that it's programs are far more likely to work on first compiles than ruby scripts, and the type system makes refactoring a large code base much safer.
The problem with this approach is that the value of the acquired products falls dramatically. Think about Facebook and Oculus: many people are simply fed up with spying Behemoths controlling all aspects of their lives. I don't believe it would be as dramatic with Microsoft and Discord, but sure some users will rebel. Good for the landscape - Discord basically monopolized gaming communication market, it's time for some interesting developments, this time preferably with open standards.
I started looking into it, but I'm concerned there won't be a 1:1 equivalent.
I’m not claiming they were successful in lowering costs, just that their approach fits the hypothesis that that was their intent. “Penny wise, pound foolish” as the saying in my home country goes.
Plugins are half-done feature, I would like for them to finish the implementation across all supported OSes and improve the way the code gets loaded as well.

Hence why they are underused.
I looked into agriculture in North African countries. You can do crazy things with greenhouses and aquaponics but compared to simple fertile soil it is very expensive. So the problem shifted into creating fertile soil and once I read up on afforestation it feels absolutely trivial but the scale of the problem is so big that only governments can attempt it.

USA gives those countries foreign aid in dollars which are then spent on weapons and food imports when afforestation programs are actually what is really needed there. It's not rocket science. You install sand barriers to prevent erosion and you plant trees to increase the water capacity of the soil and 50 years later you have a nice forest which you can convert to farmland.
Your wife is one thing and understandable because she's (presumably) not a full time feminist advocate. But I still routinely see this claim be made by e.g. journalists who have been writing about feminism their entire careers, or people who appear to be spending most of their time on such advocacy. Those people either know, or they are so dumb they never had the obvious thought that occurred immediately to your wife. I don't think they're dumb as they're normally quite eloquent, they just don't want to lose that powerful talking point.
Well it's also the big things like chat and video to be fair.

The only saving grace Teams has is it so reliably overheats my MacBook Air that no meeting can be over an hour long
The amount of crying go fanboys here is staggering. Author merely points out minute gotchas, IMHO invaluable information.

Look at it this way: they might be buying Discord precisely to get their devs to fix Teams.
Crystal was first introduced to me a few years ago but it was still in early development I’ll need to revisit it again now that 1.0 has been released.

I’m curious as to what others in here feel about pros and cons of learning Nim compared to Crystal?
Completely agree. Turned my back on Zoom for casual video chat and use Discord instead.
I believe you that isn't what it means, but for those (like myself) who have limited familiarity with this topic, could you please explain what it actually means.
Then don't work for a big corporation. I work for a small company from home. My work is interesting and varied and I don't have the time to socialise, even if I wanted to. I get to spend more time with my family instead.

My company does have an office, though, and I don't live more than an hour away. I will go into the office for some things, like whiteboard planning meetings, training and other things. It's going in every day for the very few times it's actually beneficial that I can't stand.
(OP) I woke up this morning and I was pleasantly surprised at the large number of answers to my question. I saw some pretty insightful ideas. Thank you!
Also, it would be nice to hear about hurdles that non-software devs are facing.

It may be a skewed opinion of mine, but I think that more value can be added, more easily, by software into other domains, than what can be added by software in software development itself.

Software "divorced from reality" is pretty useless. It becomes useful when: it helps drive a real process (e.g. factories, cars), it helps better understand a phenomenon (e.g. data analysis), provides entertainment or education (e.g. games, animations), gives answers or predictions (AI, machine learning), facilitates communication (messaging, video calls), etc.. A god-like software running in a box (e.g. general purpose artificial intelligence), but not plugged into anything (e.g. at least a monitor, speaker, etc.) will literally offer nothing (even if it could, should it be connected)

Say you make an application to facilitate selling of tickets to a business. Then you may go optimizing the database/website to handle more users, etc. Then you may go optimizing the build-tools, the programming language, etc. The more you continue down this chain (which goes more abstract) the less you directly and meaningfully impact the initial requirement. I'm not saying it's a bad thing! I'm saying:

-> The more "meta" you go, the more broader impact you have on a whole area, rather then just the initial requirement. This is the good part! But also the harder and more complex it gets! Exponentially! This is the "bad" part.

I guess the ultimate point would be to reach general purpose AI. When we get there, the whole purpose of this discussion thread is useless anyway.

But until we get there, I personally think we should focus more (or at least just as much) on fixing the actual problems (in a clean way, with few dependencies), rather then going to deep on that "meta" chain I mentioned. There are good outcomes of course, but one bad outcome of going too "meta" is the increasing bloat and complexity we seem to be experiencing in all modern software.

Between Keepass, 1passwword, and lastpass I've never seen a password manager that just shows the password without the user explicitly choosing to reveal it
Maybe that says more about you than about the document authors, or the document itself.

They have gone through the trouble of changing this from a Code of Conduct to a Code of Ethics, for the specific purpose of avoiding quarreling (their rule 66).

You want to move away from SQLite just because you heard some developers are religious.

I really prefer their attitude towards disagreement.
CppCast is great, most of the content is quite good and is a very good way for those of us that mostly work with other languages to still keep up with C++ progress.
That’s a fairly cynical take. A more generous interpretation is that they’re not buying an application, they’re buying a working business — which is more than you can say about many startup acquisitions.
What screwups by AZ? There haven't been any, they've been doing the same things as other pharma firms, who have all always said that manufacturing is unpredictable and they'll try to make it all as quickly as possible but can't offer hard guarantees. The idea they're incompetent is more media propaganda - exactly the kind of thing that's causing people to stop taking it in EU states. Probably the Commission should try and fix the large stockpiles going unused due to this type of propaganda before they worry about export bans.

As for Brexit, see my other comment. A lot of the actions the EU has taken have been entirely UK specific. For instance the requirement for export licenses was waived for every non-EU state neighbouring the EU, except the UK.
You see no dimension where a lawyer, making statements in their role as a lawyer has a different kind of hazard?

Fair enough 8) A few years back I recall Alan Cox (int al) demonstrating Linux booting on a hard disc. Not from a hard disc but actually on one - ie there is enough RAM etc to boot and run a shell in most peripherals.

That aside, have you seen what Jeff Minter and co could do with a C64? You have around 40Kb RAM to play with. You've got the SID for sound and sprites are a thing. Thank the good $DEITY that your storage isn't as noisy as a Spectrum and you have a decent amount of memory to work with. Now make a game to run on this thing!

I can see a Quickshot II across the dining room (WFH.) Hmmmm, when lunch time turns up I think some Mutant Camels will need a good kicking.
Yeah, the shift was no means universal in breadth or depth, but it was there beforehand (remember Wework?) and this pushed more traditional industries to take it up.

Another example would be ties; already in Australia it was becoming common to see professionals wearing business casual rather than suit-plus-tie (especially in summer). A walk around the CBD of Melbourne recently suggested to me that COVID has hit suit-plus-tie very hard, but suit and no tie appears to be going strong.
Eh, your roses might be a bit glassy :-P.

I used Mozilla (the original) on my Pentium MMX with 128MB of RAM and i remember it being so slow i could literally watch the widgets draw themselves one after another whenever i opened a dialog window.
Consider that even before the sun-setting of Atlassians server editions price is one of the main reasons I see for customers wanting to migrate away from Jira (and Confluence for that matter). In 8 years of operation we saw a sixfold increase of the pricing of Confluence, for instance. And that's not considering the further increase caused by us being forced to upgrade to the data center edition to stay on premise.
I’m very interested in migrating a production rails apps to crystal / lucky. Was your previous exp using rails?
Maybe we call them dopamine melodies instead of music to underscore the effect rather than the art. The fact that most synthetic music today is hot garbage doesn’t convince me that we couldn’t connect with it in a meaningful way in the future. After all, things like GPT3 are more like talking to a hive of humans than a single alien.
I would say few B for sure just so they can compete in that space
While I would not like to see her get off the hook this easily, she is correct for once.

The thing is, if she really believed that, she might have attempted to set people straight who were unreasonable enough to believe her. That would have saved several human lives, and everyone else a lot of trouble.
Maybe you should be asking yourself this question; Why am I feeling powerless against a Google notice to move my data to some location I do not approve of?
