That was my point, applying pressure to the object held against a belt sander is how you remove material. Those slats probably have some kind of tread on them which makes this a 500W, couple hundred pound belt sander capable of flaying small pets and children. If you have a strong stomach you can look up “belt sander injuries” to get an idea of what I’m talking about.
»Cancer« was my instant association seeing ladder E.

IDK if it caused prior knowledge that there will be something "unsettling" I got from HN title ("Unsettling capital letters"; impossible to rule out now). I'm pretty sure it induced similarly disturbing feelings I got when I saw photos of bones affected by cancer for the first time. (Do not search for them, or be warned; I normally have no problems with such imagery, but this particular views haunts me to this days and I'd better like to have never seen them.)

Minimum Viable State: Building a Nomad Internet Country
The idea is good, but some other features are needed, like a description of the role and of the company, showing why they are a good fit for the goodjobs page.
It could be interesting as well to be able to apply for the jobs directly from goodjobs instead of being send elsewhere, and why not having a bookmark feature to see where you already applied / what positions or companies you're interested in
A few reasons:

1) More confidence in the economy, increased hiring.

2) A lot of Europeans moved back to Europe

3) People are more likely to jump jobs,hence more vacancies.

4) More companies restarting previously paused projects,so an increases need for various services providers/consultants.

My main concern is that looking at the job ads, there are a lot of companies that expect to hire on cheap, considering the current situation.Some salaries in job ads are outright absurd. Again, not all sectors, not all skill groups.
National exchanges like Nasdaq have minimum liquidity rules. To do a direct listing a certain amount of shares must be sold so that a trading market develops.
I can also recommend serverless.com framework for local development and running lambdas offline.

AWS provides a docker image for emulating DynamoDB which works great for local dev and will commonly be paired with lambdas.

Another option I have used recently for implementing node web services is https://github.com/apex/up which also has a nice local dev experience.
OP was saying the same thing; but with eye of an artist.
Interesting. If your evolution is anything to go by, I might be at an earlier point. Earlier I might have said perl or C#, nowadays I'd probably say F# or C# depending on what I'm looking to prototype. I find F# stimulates me to think about the kind of data and operations I want to support more than C# does. I would assume OCaml does the same.

I know JS/TS, I find they're generally counterproductive in dissecting the problem I'm trying to solve. I might use them for rapid UI prototyping, if it's a very simple app.

What made you pivot from .NET and Rust to Go? Is this a question of creature comfort, where you're just more accustomed to it nowadays and/or prefer the ecosystem? Does Go stimulate/force you to think about the problem differently and if so, how?
> It's actually really hard to get modern C++ wrong

That's not true. The language is full of footguns, from its basic expressions (signed overflow, integer division-by-zero, and read-before-write are all undefined behaviour) up to concurrency (data-races are undefined behaviour) and everything in between (unsafe arrays, unsafe memory management, alignment, the list goes on). The high-level constructs in modern C++ help, but you're never further than one misstep from undefined behaviour.

Even high-profile codebases by highly skilled teams using all the modern tools, still run into trouble. Even Chromium has security issues arising from the dangers of C++. The push for Rust is out of pragmatism, not trend-chasing or theoretical purity.

Of course, C codebases like the Linux kernel also continue to have these issues.

Oh what a genius! Somebody wrote some code!
The inharmonicity is caused by the strings not being 'ideal' mathematical strings: they have stiffness, due to having some thickness - and require some additional force to bend them back and forth, beyond that of the string tension. This bending stiffness is more evident in higher harmonics than in the fundamental (tighter radius of curvature), manifesting in increased 'apparent stiffness' and therefore a higher frequency, at the higher harmonics, compared to the lower harmonics.

Not sure if I've explained it well, but vibrations of an ideal string (no bending stiffness) can be described by a second-order partial differential equation [0], whereas a real string with nonzero bending stiffness is actually more of a 'vibrating beam' problem, which is a fourth-order PDE [1].

EDIT: this is why low notes have greater inharmonicity (thicker strings).

>Six years earlier, Copernicus had proposed a heliocentric universe in his Commentariolus. Maybe the Earth wasn’t flat after all?

This is the point where I stopped reading properly. How can anything else the author says be taken seriously? I skimmed the rest and it rambles on incoherently without making any point. Feels like GPT3.
Even worse, because they’re “decoration”, they’re hidden if the window is fullscreened.

So if I full screen a file picker dialog, the action buttons get hidden too.
It's indeed terrible in Apps that reimplement the photo selecting feature, but in simpler Apps that just use the default picker it works quite well and it is transparent.

Popular apps like WhatsApp, Twitter, Facebook, Telegram, etc, could just fall back to the default picker when full access is not available.
No advice, but just from looking at your pricing options - do you actually get interested parties to click on the "get in touch" button for the Enterprise tier?

I wonder whether the difference in appearance to the other tiers provides an additional (albeit small) mental barrier. That, combined with the psychological incentive for clicking on the "Business" option (look, it's our most popular one! and it has a different background color!) might actually steer people away from ever exploring the "Enterprise" option.

Perhaps, though, you only intended it as a way to avoid having "Business" being the most expensive one? Kind of my "ugly shoe theory" (Why do shoe stores carry so many ugly shoes? So that the mediocre ones become more attractive.) I think people are more inclined to choose one of the "inner" options for a product they have not tried out before, because it seems like a saver choice.
Just ignore it. These people only know how to destroy things. The way to beat them is to continue building.
I'm less optimistic. Even major C++ projects that do everything right, still have issues that would have been prevented had they used a safe language. My go-to example is Chromium.
Agreed. The money supply should be flexible to help alleviate the effects of inevitable financial crashes.

This of course devalues the savings of the average person when this happens, but it's the only way to recover from mistakes like the mortgage bubble.

Does anyone know how hard it’s going to be for the Raspberry Pi Foundation to add some extra PCIe lanes to a future model?

>The Capgemini report stated that Huawei staff, both from within KPN buildings and from China, could eavesdrop on unauthorized, uncontrolled, and unlimited KPN mobile numbers.

That quote clearly comes from the security testing team's report. It's not clear from the quote provided to me who is responsible for the "Uncontrolled and unauthorized access," but we know there was an ongoing security audit at the time mentioned.
It should be included in textbooks how IOHK is failing to deliver by turning their Haskell into enterprise java with monads (instead of keeping it as logic and math with actions/effects).

Fpcomplete got it all wrong. (Don't read their tutorials, obsessed with strictness - it is a crap).

Haskell is a language to formalize problems and define declarative solutions using equational reasoning.

It is a pure logic, not some funny ML with laziness by default.

That is not correct.

In Android you have two ways of accessing most things: full access or use the system to access one entry.

You should blame WhatsApp for not supporting the second method.
This is an example of something commonly called a drawing machine, of which the camera obscura is an other example. He certainly was not the last and likely not the first.

The video feed had a "university team" feel to it that was sort of unexpected and nice :)

I was surprised to see the tack sharp shadow on the image from the downwards facing navigation camera. My thinking was that the rotors needed to spin way faster on this drone than on a drone on earth, because of how thin the atmosphere is on mars. But the sharpness seems to indicate that the rotor speed is perhaps all that different! Or perhaps the whole thing is just so light that there is not so much mass to lift up?

>Why do leading scientists show such a profound lack of curiosity in a subject that might redefine not just their fields, but also all of science? It could lead to a new understanding of our place in the universe, and new advances in materials science, biology, quantum physics, cosmology and social sciences.

Scientists are aware of how well founded our current understanding of physics, relativity, etc. are, and that nothing presented so far is compelling enough as "evidence" of fundamentally new physics or extraterrestrial phenonema.

It may take nothing more than pixels on a youtube video and hearsay to convince the author that aliens are visiting Earth and Einstein was wrong about everything, but luckily for the rest of us the bar for actual scientific inquiry is higher. It's not a "profound lack of curiosity," either, it's simply having a standard of evidence beyond what's accepted by the mainstream.
Did you use beta readers? This is just one of our posts.

Awesome! Well deserved congratulations all round to the team! Dare mighty things indeed.

Only negative thing I can think of is that I really hope the Perseverance rover has better video onboard just not transmitted yet. Maybe they will release it during the press conference later today. The one they showed was a little clipped. It had spin up. then it sort of cuts to the mid flight and then cuts to the spin down... all the takeoff and touchdown excitement is totally missing from the video they showed. If I didn't know as much as I do about how image telemetry is handled... I'd actually have thought it was broken, thats how abrupt the transition is in the video.

The connotation of black and white is not just a western one. It often derives from light vs absence of light (white vs black), where absence of light is often taken as something disadvantageous. It is also rather rarely used as good vs bad and more often denotes some vague characteristics (black/white plague for example).

I find it especially hard to think of good/bad or even race when using the term blacklist or whitelist tho.

There is some good reason to change black-/whitelists naming, but supposed racism is not one of them, because it is only due to some people feeling offended by a technical term. If you change words because some might feel offended, it will never stop. In the end you still have words to denote some characteristic and it will be taken as offensive if it is used at all (or by people of the "wrong" characteristic).

> This just shows that blockchain is a good technology.

At no point does the original article mention blockchain, which actually improves its credibility given a Central Bank Digital Currency would not benefit from a public blockchain (as distinct from a permissioned distributed ledger).
Blackbox testing doesn't have a positive or negative connotation either but activists still want it to be changed.

Also e.g. "white" isn't seen as positive because of skin color, it's more a cleanliness/innocence thing. In my native language we have a phrase roughly meaning "wearing a white shirt" which indicates someone doesn't figuratively have blood on their hands/clothes. You could associate this word with white teeth or clouds just as much as with skin color.

That's the problem with this whole debate: people pushing for changes with the same precision as word filters failing at "Scunthorpe", without care for context or details. Sure, it's easier that way. But also harder to justify.
I'm too excited not to comment on here specifically, although I have another comment in this thread already. I made a proposal for this in my book which isn't out yet but basically I'm using only consonants for these.. so that I can link a vowel for a separate encoding.. so in order of notes where their set notation is 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11, B D F G J K L M N P R S.

It's an idea, and possibly somewhat arbitrary, but it's a proposal at least and it will connect to other things well due to uniformity. Then there's my python code which takes a scale.. and writes nonsense with shakespeare verse using words beginning with the letters that spell them. Then words can be used to learn melodies.

But what I was really thinking about more is like depending on the vowel after that letter you will form different chord qualities.. The first most important being the unison, or 'a'.. so to play a major scale with single notes you would say Ba Fa Ja Ka Ma Pa Sa.

But to say the seventh chords that the major scale implies you'd say: BatEk FabEt JabEt KaTEk MatEt PabEt Sabat, which would be a a way of saying: DMa7 Emi7 F♯mi7 GMa7 A7 Bmi7 C♯⌀
- but way less syllables

⌀ is pronounced "half diminished" or "half diminished seventh" which is a mi7(♭5) which would be pronounced "minor seven flat five" for those who don't know.

The insanity of modern music theory is the superimposition of the number 7 (A B C D E F G) onto the number 12 (the number of notes).. everything in the system is skewed by this fundamental wonky shape. But I'll remind everyone that 12/2=6 and 12/3=4 and from these facts more logical systems can be envisioned, as opposed what's 12 notes with 7 names. 12/7=? A number that seems not to have relevance to the comprehension of music patterns.. BESIDE the fact we are forced to think like that with things that conform to 12/7 like sheet music, note names, or piano key locations...

But nature and even a guitar fretboard has less concept of the obsession with the number 7 by design.
I'm asking for a citation that there is more demand for plumbers in small towns than in big cities, which is your assertion, unsupported by any evidence.

I was watching the NASA live stream, and it was surreal how all they were looking at was a Github repository webpage (presumably on their own GH instance) being refreshed, and text output of some scripts, as the data was rolling in, processed and interpreted. For any computer geek it was very cool, too.

Very different to similar events near Earth, where everything is observed in real time, and there is a lot of cameras pointed at whatever is happening from all angles. :)

Anyway, congrats to the NASA team, and I'm looking forward to Ingenuity's further trips.

There have been many attempts at a chromatic music notation, but nothing has caught on so far [1].

Things are a little better with solfege -- there is "chromatic fixed do" solfege, where every note has its own name, rather than only having a name for the "white notes," which leaves you to mentally calculate the sharps and flats.

It's a minority thing--maybe 5-10% in Europe? Even regular fixed "do" is rare in English-speaking countries, so I would assume the chromatic fixed "do" is almost unheard of in the US, Britain, etc.

At any rate, there're are at least seeds of hope for a chromatic fixed-do solfege to catch on more. I use it for my own learning.

You said it yourself, language changes. Just don’t charge the words, simple as that. Words are sound waves, or pixels on the screen. And it’s people who give them meaning. It seems to me that the ideas behind the words won’t get anywhere if you just ban words.

The large gap with an exposed high speed belt is an obvious hazard and is completely unnecessary. There’s an argument for not letting your children play with treadmills unsupervised but there’s no defence for a design that would allow a child to be sucked into the machine while it’s in use if they happen to wander in to the room and fall behind it. It’s an easy to imagine scenario since they might try to approach their parent from behind and be struck down by the moving edge of the belt and then pulled under.

That quickly becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

The true GOATS of advertising and marketing, like for example Dave Trott, beat the point that you should play games you can win into your head over and over.

If one can't compete buying a ton of ads, don't try. But making a book that's useful to a small group of people, by making a clear promise, specifying who it is and isn't for, and then aggressively iterate with beta-readers until you start to get word of mouth, changes the equation more from needing lots of money to putting in a lot of the right kind of effort.
