Because ...? I mean, from the perspective of an outsider reading that you "can't use strings" if there's a risk of allocation failure is a bit worrying.
> I wonder if for the first time in history one of these space programs can deliver on the original budget?

I don't think it would be a first, since previous contracts (such as COTS and Commercial Crew) were both awarded as fixed price contracts.

To my knowledge, SpaceX didn't go back and ask for more money beyond the fixed-price contract. So both of those were already delivered (or are being delivered actively) on budget.

But, this award is following in those footsteps to use fixed-price contracts as a way to control costs and ensure the programs don't run wildly overbudget.
I agree that automation is ideal. But let's face it: most companies haven't.

The goal of a business is not to have perfect engineering practices. It is to fulfill customer requests. When there is an outage in the middle of the night, I'd argue that a degraded system buys time to address the issue.

Regardless of the mechanism, having a sudden, complete breakage is not ideal for a business.
Doesn't that mean that stealing any of the 3 yubikeys means full permanent compromise of all your and your spouse's account?

I think a good with system should include some sort of revocation, like a master key you can keep in a safe to revoke other devices.
> "Every Java project is also __severely__ underdocumented. That's because even if you write documentation for YOUR code, the framework has books of documentation on ITS specifics, and includes high-level libraries which THEMSELVES have heaps of specific documentation. Climbing the tree until one arrives at actual standard library calls is like climbing into clouds and hoping to see the sun some day."

This weaknes stems from Java being OO. On larger projects you start to have abstractions which tend to be insucfficiently documented or the documentation not being updated with changes. Throw in some helper classes here and there, from a certain point of complexity of the project from an outside perspective the whole thing looks like being obfuscated.
this is false. they bought it 8 years ago, you'd think it would be dead by now if so.
I really wish this weren't a clunky 200MB Electron app.

Did you change your comment from something to do with Trump to this? I chose to ignore your original comment because it did not add value to the discussion at hand. Maybe you have a grudge against Trump that you are trying to insert into a discussion on Indian politics. But at least I did not downvote. By making this edit you just proved my point. The fact that you had to change your own comment shows how it was heavily downvoted by your own peers. There is a very narrow line of thought that is appreciated here on HN. Anything that goes away from that narrow line of thought gets downvoted and flagged. Congratulations on experiencing it firsthand.

Combine it with vantablack, will be cool!
This is already known. Austronauts launch on SLS/Orion and transfer to moon orbit, transfer to Lunar Gateway or Starship and then land on the moon.

Starship launches from surface back to lunar orbit, gives astronauts over to Orion and Orion will then land on earth.

Lunar Starship will stay in Lunar orbit and potentially be reusable or just land on the moon to start building a Basecamp.
The NSA and CIA require this for top secret clearances, the reasoning being that people in a lot of debt are easier to blackmail or otherwise bribe.
Peer pressure is real among kids aged 8-22 (yes, that's a huge range but that's what is). You can stop your kids all you want, but then they will find ways to experience what you have deprived them of, and that will be catastrophic for their development and relationships in general. I'd like some child growth specialist to chime in, but I believe this dynamic won't be good as parents are a safe haven for kids and if kids think parents are not letting them have something that all the other kids have, it might affect them longterm.
a redesign is underway
100%. Lichess is an astounding achievement of FOSS and I wish it got more love in general. I can't think of any other open-source website with as much traffic and with as much complex functionality.
> hoop-a-la around getting people to the ISS are on the other hand not particularly ambitious, and are also a bottomless money pit

While this was at one time true, I don't think it's fair to say anymore, given that the Commercial Crew contracts issued were fixed price contracts, and have been delivered by SpaceX on that fixed price contract.
We had this issue a few times at the place I previously worked.

At first, it wasn't clear whose responsibility it was since back in the operations day, emails would go to someone's specific address or even a mailing group, where most of the employees who were on it had left while new employees weren't added to the list since they didn't know about it.

After it happened once or twice, metrics were set up to track expiring certificates (they were mostly all migrated to AWS Cert Manager I believe) while a few key ones couldn't be.

As a bit of background, we also follow the Google-esque model of not having a phone number for customer support and requiring customers to submit a ticket. We do have outgoing calls but no incoming phone number.

I say that because those key certificates would generate an email that said something like "Press this button and we'll call you to confirm you want to renew" so as you can imagine, my first thought was "Well, how the fuck is shit gonna work?"

I think in the end we just ended up calling the certificate provider to say we don't have a phone number and then we managed to get them migrated to DNS-based validation after some time.

This too wasn't a case of being underpaid but rather having a lack of knowledge. It's the sort of task that some particular person did for a long time but then left so none of us newer folks even knew where these things were provisioned from. Additionally, you don't feel like you have the authority to ie; call up some multi-national provider and be like "Hi, we own this thing but umm, I have no idea how to go about renewing it". It feels like being a teenager calling up about a first job haha.

It's just one of the casualities of "high growth" businesses mixed with humans being bad at seeing cause and effect when the gap between the two is super wide. Cause being people leaving and effect being "I forgot to ask how to do X or Y"

I guess I would clarify that we were following a devops model but had transitioned from a classic dev/ops split so it's quite literally a generational thing where you conceptually don't know how to go about eg; renewing a certificate on the phone because you've entered the industry in the time of dns validation via lets encrypt (and because there literally are no phones anymore in the businessa)
The use of the name "Standard" annoys me, it's presumptuous. You have to earn "standard" status, you can't just claim it

Also, Electron makes this a no-go for me.
Which asset classes would you diversify into?

The stock market is at all time highs.

Real estate is also at all time highs (depending on location, but in general).

Precious metals are not on track to beat inflation.

Treasury bonds are not on track to beat inflation.

The rates even on high yield savings accounts also do not beat inflation (and are relatively very low).

There is a concern that USD may be devaluing, due to all the money printing that has happened in 2020 and 2021.

I agree diversification is good, and I don't think it's good to be 100% invested in crypto, but I'm just curious how you would allocate your portfolio if you were in that situation.
Why did you take a job that you knew was remote but insist on meeting the stakeholders in person? You shouldn’t have taken that job with that expectation.
We use Chargify for handling subscription signups and taking money. It connects with Auth0 for our user authentication and management. They're both inexpensive and you can set them up by yourself.
Starship is big because it's meant to do other things. The mission parameters didn't require it.
ST fabs their own chips. If their fabs don't have the capacity, it's a huge slog to tape them out to a radically different process at another company.
Because the 3rd party cookies are still here.
This rubs me the wrong way, but it's a biased feeling solely because of Elon Musk. I feel like if Musk was ousted from both Tesla and SpaceX these companies would be less tainted. Elon is becoming like Howard Hughes: completely nuts. The nonsense he's spouting and lies he's selling is the complete antithesis to what a virtuous scientist or engineer should strive for, unfortunately he's just a nasty businessman.

I can't quite recall where my irritation with him began: the horrendous apocalypse cybertruck, a podcast with Joe Rogan where his laughs seemed totally fake and creepy, his musings with Kanye, defending Amber Heard, calling someone a pedo while having millions of followers, manipulation the market, full self-driving false promises, claiming he founded Tesla, pretending Neuralink's latest demo was novel, Las Vegas' ridiculous redundant tunnel, the list goes on. I don't like the guy any more.
> It works through construction sites with orange cone lane changes

it only took a couple of deaths to train their ai for construction sites.

> Just the precision with which it can change lanes in dense traffic is so relieving.

parked white trucks still a issue tho.

this whole thing reads like a marketing brochure, while conveniently ignoring the trail of deaths the tesla gung-ho attitude about releases brought.
There's many that argue that the current standard for antitrust enforcement does not consider enough or the right factors.
Which is why these govt type of interventions, which are all centered around getting more and more permissions from users are annoying. We will get more click through screens that 99.99% of users will say yes to. Seriously, how many users read the google ToS clickthroughs and make a decision based on that to not sign up with a google account?

I turned this stuff off at policy level, and instead of praising me, users were pissed at me. They wanted google to track them. Most didn't understand why stuff didn't work (things like saving locations in maps break at least in past, and most use gmaps for work / home commute checks). Seriously - if you run a larger gsuite deploy, put all the privacy features on and watch how folks start trying to work around / do the shadow IT thing.
I'm roughly 6 years into working from home; the pandemic isn't really a new experience for me.

The first year was concerning because it was different and weird, but it rapidly became normal. Now, I reflect on how _slow_ office work was and find myself frustrated for my past self.
goodreads is not supported by amazon. its self sustaining through ads, affiliate links and publisher promotions.
> 1 - FastAPI was created before the change was announced.

No, it wasn't. You might be thinking of pydantic.

FastAPI's first commit was December 2018: https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi/commit/406c092a3bf65bbd4.... PEP 563 was the first item in the Python 3.7.0 release notes earlier that year.
Say, does anyone know of an open reverse bibliography service (find boos that cite a given book)? When I read a good book it often helps me find other books worth reading, but I can only go backwards in time that way.
No, it does not mean that. At least in my experience, every service where I have multiple YubiKeys registered still requires my username and password. Without those, someone who stole the YubiKey would not be able to login to my accounts.
It appears that someone's worked that out.

So, I was experimenting with this concept yesterday but couldn't get it to work...

How do you set up a local proxy to do this kind of stuff? I got up to the point of changing request/response headers but couldn't manage to actually edit the data going through, esp when dealing with ssl (which is the point really, of ssl).
Looks like the moon to me.
"they’re committed to the Aristotelean idea that there is nothing in the mind that was not first in the senses. [...] The problem is that there are no sensory receptors for times of day and for interval-durations. A duration doesn’t feel like anything—it’s ineffable."

Where does Aristotle actually say that time is known as an object of the senses? I assure you he never says this. For Aristotle, time is the measure of change with respect to succession. Time is not a "thing"!

Tabula rasa doesn't mean that mental faculties don't exist. That's not what it means for something not to be in the mind that was not in the senses.

The interviewee is silly in his hostility toward Aristotle, especially given the basic lack of understanding.
The idea of a domain-specific Udemy with appropiate instructor filtering has been done 100 times already.

Which doesn't mean it's going to fail. It just means that there's nothing new about it. It's all about good execution and management, and nothing about innovation, like I feel this article tries to paint it.
Yes, but will they prevent you from posting a link to the HN discussion of the Newsweek article about them blocking the NY Post article?

Is it possible that Facebook is a big enough share of the internet that they can block the Streisand Effect? My money is on "no".
Yeah, ML libraries are a huge offender. The Torch 1.8.1 manylinux wheel is 1.6G unpacked, with 1.1G going to CUDA support.
What you say may well be true for Apollo. But for the Space Shuttle, even from the first mission back in 1981, most of the flying was done by the computers. There were only a few steps which had to be done by humans – one of which was flicking the switch to lower the landing gear. NASA could have fully automated it, but they made a decision not to. Part of the reason was a culture which wanted to keep a human in the loop rather than having everything under computer control.

It was only after the Columbia disaster that they actually enhanced the Shuttle to enable it to be fully autonomous and perform landing and re-entry without a crew. If the Shuttle was damaged and re-entry was too risky, then the crew would shelter in the ISS and the Shuttle would attempt to re-enter and land without the crew onboard – best case scenario, the Shuttle lands intact; worse case, it breaks up on re-entry while the crew remain safely behind on the ISS. They never had to use this autonomous re-entry/landing capability, however.
Currently, I suppose, but no; it’s been “active” since about 2010.
SpaceX already did that with commercial crew. The program is set up as a fixed-price contract. SpaceX missed on the dates, but is delivering the services that were promised inside the original budget.
this is the real reason goodreads wont be dethroned. book data is very very messy and requires lots of manual cleaning by humans and goodreads is where the humans are. its like trying to make a wikipedia competitor. it just wont happen.
As one of my uni professors said, if the Persians had not annihilated Miletus, the humanity would've walked on the Moon much sooner.
Maybe it does. I haven't tested the limits. If we take 3000+ people per group limit, it would be around 1100 groups. Having 1100 groups is pretty realistic possibility considering the number of states in India, regional languages/dialects, overall population and diversity.
So what you’re saying is I probably should go dig out the boxes of MTG cards I have from being a kid in the mid-90s? I haven’t thought about those in decades!

Maybe it's a field specific thing, or maybe one of the other authors pretended to be you, but I am surprised something could be published with your name on the author list without you knowing about it. Every paper I've ever been listed on, sometimes 10+ authors deep, has required me to confirm that I want my name on the paper/attest I contributed.
You keep saying it’s unexplained as if it’s intentionally kept secret. You pretend you have no control over it, but if you reduced your own source code, you would find that the “dark” space shrunk.

The Go source code is available to you. Russ has pointed out there’s no existing tool to break down those “dark” bytes but that they do serve a purpose, but perhaps you could work on that tool instead of complaining that it’s not covered by the symbol table.
It is rapidly becoming clear that inflammation drives many processes of disease and ageing. Many people are turning to anti-inflammatory diets rich in fruits like blueberries, fish with Omega Acids and turmeric. For example, there are many yoga practitioners in India who have extreme old age and great health that people worldwide can all benefit from listening to, like Baba Ramdev.
Why can’t they just dock with ISS and use the crew dragon to bring the astronauts home?
We've confirmed the code is working on several other browsers, both desktop and mobile versions, so the issue right now looks specific to Safari and potentially mobile Safari. The last time we confirmed the tool works in Safari was 2018, so that would narrow the potential issue down to changes in Safari since then.

I suspect the code's vintage may be an issue. It was originally developed in 2006 to very specifically be backward compatible with older versions of JavaScript, where I can see Apple perhaps phasing out supporting some of the coding aspects that have become obsolete.

We do have another tool that uses the same data and many of the same formulas, but with a more modern implementation of code (http://politicalcalculations.blogspot.com/2009/06/investing-...). If you run into the same issue, that would suggest other changes in Safari are at work.

You Can’t Have DevOps Without Test Automation
For some set of people it would be a problem, I think for book reviews that’s a tiny set, not to be dismissive of them, but still.

For other types of applications you’d want to have a better system, like a writing platform.

But still, there’s ways to do it. You can validate the high res copies of whatever you want to validate, then make a hash using a few key numbers, in partial. Stuff like that gets you close to ideal, even the worst case break would expose almost nothing, and you’d prevent duplicate accounts. Only risk is losing the documents during validation before they’re deleted.
One must be really dumb to allow a bot to make hundreds of millions of API requests and not noticing.
Isn't that sort of housing essentially illegal to build?

(I'm describing the current situation there, not saying it is a good thing)

One issue is that the best place to build it is where there are already enough people to justify things like usable public transit, so that people living there can access a larger job market and so on.
That’s... not at all the same concept. There are a lot of companies pre-pandemic that had hybrid offices. Many global companies have had zoom rooms and other teleconferencing solutions for years.

There's a probably a larger opportunity for an urban redevelopment sketching/brainstorming tool of sorts.
Trezors work the same way and I have one that I set up as a backup factor (I still find Authy desktop/mobile the most convenient). It’s very nice to have a paper backup.
Well this observation has produced a furious negative reaction, which I suspect is of both puritanical and chauvinist origin.

Perhaps because I can't see very well I had uncertainty when reading the article title. But unless you're quite innocent (i.e. not a user of the internet) I don't see how you could avoid knowing about such devices. Knowing many programmers, I also know that they span the full spectrum from Bible-studies to BDSM (though that might be a horseshoe), and many are prone to juvenile humour which can become sexually toned. So I know that someone will use it in this context. When you become a manager you choose to avoid creating such problems. Some of you probably see this tone policing -- you are correct, suck it up.

For those who don't understand what Hamming distance is:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamming_distance
Fun fact: SF has a higher population density (18k/sqmi) than either HK (17.5k/sqmi) or Tokyo (16.5k/sqmi). Mind blown?

Truth is, density is super nonuniform — when people fear “Tokyo” they just don’t want to live in Shibuya or Ginza, not the leafy outer suburbs that are still part of Tokyo metropolis, and are quite nice.

With the exception of Manhattan (70k/sqmi), probably all the USA could double in density — enough to support another 70 years of population growth — with minimal effect on neighborhoods. This is one story-houses in inner suburbs becoming duplexes, two-stories going to 4, etc. over the span of 70 years. You’d barely notice the change.

Instead, we’ve decided to engage in the largest-ever wealth transfer from younger, poorer Americans to older, wealthier Americans the country has ever seen.
Except I had to still bought the charger because the newest phone can take more current and the older chargers can't provide it.

So I'm dubious about this claim in practice. Not in the iPhone box but they are still selling the charger, only separately now.

I advocated for remote work pretty aggressively. I've been doing it now for about a year due to the pandemic, with the option of doing it permanently at my current employer.

I'm not sure I'm that enthusiastic about it anymore. Life just seems a lot more boring to me. Every day is the same and it's become incredibly repetitive. I've been getting somewhat depressed about having this repetitive lifestyle for the next N years. I hadn't really felt this way before. It could be unrelated to remote work of course.

PKCS#11 is a C API. It does not describe the wire format for talking to the actual hardware.

To use PKCS#11 for a particular device, you need a module (shared library) to translate between the C API and the actual hardware. This module is usually vendor-specific.

If I develop software with PKCS#11 support, I'm basically asking every user to find a PKCS#11 module from their device vendor and install it in the right place.

With U2F at least the hardware wire format is standardized: https://fidoalliance.org/specs/fido-u2f-v1.2-ps-20170411/fid...
