this will always remain an incredibly difficult problem to solve. the fact that people mention Google should fix it shows that we like to rely on 1 or 2 large companies who should solve this and it isn't even in our imagination that if the power of Google distributed over 30-50 companies might not create the same issue in the first place.

-- The issue doesn't seem unsolvable at all. Google can investigate the network of slander websites and reputation management consultants the same way these news reporters did. Use some AI to find per quality site devoted to this stuff. Google already devotes a lot of resources to similar things. Google doesn't have to be certain a site is garbage to delisted it, just get enough red flags.

-- But oppositely, if you had 30 dispersed search sites, it seems likely this stuff would become utterly intractable, an endless game of whack-o-mole. And so it seems like your literally is primarily using kind of garbage reasoning just to take a shot at Google. Not that I like Google or whatever but it's an illustration of a common HN prejudice.

> BPMN is for describing much higher level processes than what UML is for.

BPMNs process-oriented focus is often viewed as both more general (tech neutral) and more suitable for high-level use than UMLs OO focus, and there are more low-level implementation diagrams in UML (e.
g., Class diagrams) and more high-level context diagrams in BPMN (e.g., Conversation) but there is still significant overlap. BPMN Choreography diagrams serve exactly the role of UML sequence diagrams. UML Activity diagrams and BPMN Orchestration diagrams cover very similar space.

Handwritten ASM for perf is almost never worth it in modern times. C compiled with GCC/Clang will almost always be just as fast or faster. You might use some inline ASM to use a specific instruction if the compiler doesn't support generating it yet (like AVX512 or AES), but even for that there's probably an intrinsic available. You can still inspect the output to make sure it's not doing anything stupid.

Plus it's C so it's infinitely more maintainable and way more portable.

Thank you for the feedback! A new calling convention could probably nail it for many use cases. Sometimes you want something very special though. E.g. LuaJIT pre-decodes instruction prior to dispatch to squeeze some work into branch misprediction delay. There are limited callee save registers available hence it is better to use volatile registers for instruction arguments. It should be possible to reuse the implementation on different architectures and only tweak the register assignment.
Props to your folks for restoring damaged land.
I'm curious how this approach would fair for microcontrollers, well cortex m0-m4's actually. They're arm32 bit and may not have enough useful call registers. Still parsing protobuf's or interpreting WASM faster would result directly in better battery performance, etc.
I hope we can get to a place by the Fall that everyone leaves windows open in public buildings, workplaces, etc. if they can be opened. It's the simplest mitigation strategy. The next easiest is changing the HVAC system to pull outdoor air in rather than recirculating the air, and putting in a higher MERV filter. Mask wearing is good too, but should be seen as a bonus on top of these simpler strategies. Less surface cleaning and more focus on air.
Sidenote: IMO these STS space suits were far better looking than the oompa loompa version that SpaceX has devised. In the name of minimalism, they've created something that looks like a bad hollywood low-budget scifi film (including the purely decorative bridge to the space capsule and the touch screen cockpit). It's personal opinion/taste but I can't help but look at how beautiful and professional it was back in the day. Also, traveling to the SpaceX rocket in Tesla Model X is one of the tackiest things I've seen.

Both are in the same sweet spot. But both are big languages with a lot of features and requires a lot of support. Luckily, so far, they are supported by big companies (JetBrain is no Apple, but has a good track record of supporting this kind of things).

My entire experience with UML was as a high school aged kid who'd just found out about it, but despite my best internet searching, could find absolutely no resources on learning or using it. So I just gave it up and this post is pretty much the first I've heard about it since c. 2002.

So... yeah, sounds like it. Everyone I know that needs something UML could do just uses Draw.io these days.
There are some tools [1] to allow the "harvesting" of existing EXPRESS models into SysML and to export XSD, JSON or EXPRESS schemas for delivery with the published standards. There will also be a way to map between existing models and new ones. The driver for this is to try to provide a way for ISO 10303-242 and ISO 10303-239 to interoperate better.

SysML is also replacing the use of IDEF0 for the high-level requirements diagrams, finding IDEF0 software was getting too hard.

Putting aside what the judge may or may not think of himself, the ruling is that actions taken by the Los Angeles government led to this specific situation and because of that, the city is responsible for remedying that situation, at least temporarily, in the near term.

The city does not need to be 100% responsible for every contributing factor to have a responsibility here just as a drunk driver is not off the hook because it was also raining when he crashed into someone.

Nowhere in the ruling does it claim to solve the broader issue of homelessness or dictate a long-term plan for the city. But it does say that the city can't simply let the situation fester while they noodle for decades on initiatives and broader plans.
UML started from the premise that software is a model of the world. But in fact what software really is, is a model of a low level program in assembler or binary we want to construct. But the proponents of UML didn't realize that either you must model the real world or you must model software. They are not the same.

"Modeling software" really means writing a program in a high-level programming language.

The failure of UML was it's schizophrenia: Was it made for modeling the world, or for modeling programs?

If it had realized that is the case its creators would have asked: "How can we create a more high-level programming language than already existing ones?

But UML creators were happy to claim that they have a great "modeling language" because then there was no real need to make it executable. The fact that some applications could produce some Java-code from a UML diagram does not mean they could create full running programs from it.
Visual Studio does not do a superset of what VS Code does. There's the very obvious difference in that VS is Windows-only while VSC is not (there is a Visual Studio for Mac, but it's a third unrelated program and not a Mac version of Visual Studio). Even if you are running Windows, VSC has more functionality than VS for non-C/C++/.NET development.
If you want to understand how TDR works, watch this classic tutorial from the mid-50s in the AT&T archive. The first 5 minutes, showing the reflection of an open and short circuit is enough.

Many are surprised when they learned that it's possible to detect the location of a break in the mains wiring or an Ethernet cable, just by doing an electrical test from one end of the cable (some Ethernet cards even have builtin TDR support!). There's no closed loop, why is it possible to test anything electrically? Because at high frequency, the circuit becomes an electromagnetic waveguide.

Basically like a radar, you send a fast electrical or optical pulse to the electrical cable or the optical fiber, the EM wave travels along the cable until it hits the break and reflects back. You record the time and listen for the echo. All discontinuities (such as damages) on the line will reflect and distort the original pulse. Use the speed of light to pinpoint the location of the fault.

Nice non sequitur and evasion of an inconvenient point. I travel internationally because it is necessary, not because I particularly want to. Rather more business than you may imagine cannot be done remotely. Nonetheless, my carbon footprint is significantly lower than the average American.

Addressing climate change in anything more than a performative way will require massive increases in global industrialization, not less. Impactful eco-friendly infrastructure isn't going to build itself. Needlessly making this slower and more difficult than necessary just lends credence to the idea that climate change activists aren't serious about addressing the problem.

The promotion of non-serious solutions to climate change make it much more difficult to get by in from average people for supporting credible and substantive solutions. Which isn't helpful if the objective is to constructively address climate change.
I work platform, a quick project is one or two quarters, a decent sized one is multi year, will likely take several deployments to roll out and at least a quarter for testing and stabilization, but when we deliver it to the several thousands clusters it will serve, the chance of a serious incident is close to zero.

For this to work, we need to anticipate future requirements. We monitor usage patterns, make proyections, study the market our company serves and try to see trends and shifts. We care about what competitors are pushing and what complementary industries are doing. We are aware of the business, but not in the same way product does.

When our plans work (and they mostly do), we usually deliver at the right time when the company needs it. We saw a shift in market patterns that would affect load a year ago, so we started working on scaling certain part of the system. It took us a year to get there, but when it was needed, we had it ready.

Sometimes people ask for things that come out of the blue. We were unable to anticipate them and the work to get them done will take at least several quarters.

These scenarios are the hardest, when you need to push back, but it's not that we're not doing anything, we're reshuffling several quarters of planning to adjust to the shift in reality, to correct the blind spot, so the next time you ask for something, it's ready, because we started a year ago.

I wish rail in the US were run more like those in Japan - private companies who derive their profits from real estate in and around stations, not solely from fares. It always astounds me how unproductive the land around Amtrak and other public transit stations are - if you’re building a tube that sends people into land you own, there’s immense opportunity for you, and in a way that’s the whole point - the reason people ride trains is usually not to ride the train, but to go somewhere, so why not operate that “somewhere”?

Yes.

All of the major problems we face today are caused by people (and specifically, by too many people). Changing the venue is not going to solve any of those problems. If we can't achieve a sustainable steady-state on land we're not going to be able to do it on the water -- or anywhere else for that matter.

I have found Twitter videos to have improved in quality recently, but there’s a disconcerting effect where when you upload your own video you see first a very low quality version, and the much better version replace it.

Here on the San Francisco Peninsula, we have a couple of veterinary services that specialize in in-home pet hospice and euthanasia: Peaceful Pathways and Restful Paws. (There may be others; these are just the two I know of.)

I hope I never have to use their services - may our dogs and cats pass away restfully in their sleep when that time comes - but I will sure choose them over going to a vet's office.
> People are so happy that they are fine with not finding their liked/fav songs regularly on Spotify even after they notice it has gone missing.

I'd believe they were actually happy if there was a streaming service that actually didn't have content randomly disappear like it does on Spotify, and if customers still liked Spotify more.

To me, at least, it seems like consumers don't have many choices. They have to compromise with Spotify and others dropping content at the whims of rights holders.

No not at all.

Airflow in buildings is a complex topics and needs to be modeled with complex computer simulations to get right as "intuitive" assumptions can sometimes be very far of the reality.

Any single source of heat, like heaters, laptops or even your body heat is influencing this.

There are companies which do such analysis for hospitals to make sure/reduce the risk that Covid from Covid patients infect non-Covid patients over air flow.
(Best would be an airlock between areas, but lets be realistic especially when they get many Covid patients this is often not possible).

Either way it's completely unrealistic assumption.

Still from all what I know about air (subtile) flow (which is not much) the end conclusion of: "wearing mask indoors is quite effective, maybe more then social distancing". Might still be true, assuming you don't strictly social distance etc.. Because not being ever in the same apartment as an affected person is definitively better then being there with a mask ;=).

A example of how waring a mask indoors might unexpectedly help is that you body heat creates a minimal updraft, minimal but then the virus water droplets are also supper light wight. So if you combine a air conditioning/filter system which pulls out air (not uncommon for hospitals) with a mask and that effect the mask will cause the remaining airosoles to be "closer" to you as they where at least slowed down even if they escaped and the minimal updraft + vacuuming air filter system will with that have a higher chance to "pull out" the virus before any one can get affected by it. Or at least that is what I heard from some people of which I forgot the name of which do indoor air flow simulations.
