I imagine that nowhere in Utah or Wyoming is more in the middle of nowhere than Northern Ontario.

We did a road trip in an EV from Ottawa, ON to Saskatoon, SK and back. (3000km each way). The Tesla trip planner said we'd need to stop 9 times to charge, but we ended up stopping 18 times to charge because we needed to stop 17 times for the bathroom, eating or sleeping. Only once was the stop only for charging (15 minutes). One charger was broken on the trip out -- we had enough charge to make it to the next one, but only barely.
The situation isn't that dire but the F-35 program is still a screw-up. At a minimum, it still can perform its primary role - get into contested areas stealthily, gain and share firing solutions to well-equipped friendlies in the area, bugging out, and rinse/repeat.
Too many! I get distracted by shiny new ideas all of the time. In the last few months I have gone live with several small apps [1,2], and I have several ideas in the hopper. No shortage of ideas here, let me know if you need one! :)

These are mostly MVPs, that I consider side projects. While jumping from one idea to the other certainly diminishes the likelihood that any one of them gets traction or the marketing and promotion necessary to grow, I also like the idea of putting in effort where I have the most interest at the time and seeing if I get lucky with one of them.

Do you do much work in this space internationally, for Spanish speaking countries? I'm in something related, and bilingual. I'm also interested in post-covid work travel.
You're making very wild and invalid projections here.
Do you have some data to support your assumption that they do want to be in those roles in higher numbers that they are already?
I don't think the latter part is true, my impression is that the kernel people are very well aware of the limits of their review ability and don't pretend to be unfoolable.
This smells like an opportunity to build some charging stations that provide more to do than a gas station. You could build a diner, with an arcade or mini golf or some attraction to keep people busy (and take more of their money) for a few hours while their cars are charging.
We got dance megamixes in Spain too, in early 90's.
It’s not clear to a non-systems person, me specifically, whether this is something that was added to Linux code base itself, or as a virus-like file that was added and has spread.
Conspiracy Theory time:

Companies know this, and depend on this effect. It keeps most of their employees "loyal" to the company at an incredibly low cost, since our social instincts are doing most of the work for them.
I'm sure my view of this will provoke some, though that's not my intent.

Wow, the author of this is so drenched in his own racist worldview that he can only blame a situation of his own making on his skin color. In reality, he was taken for a ride by sleazy NY media venture people. (Is there any other kind?) The color of their, or his, skin is irrelevant. If people treat you like crap, they're garbage humans, regardless of skin color.

As the old saying goes, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." From where I sit, bringing race into this at all is the worst sort of hateful excuse-making. This was the author's stupid call, and the fallout of his poor decision to work for known untrustworthy a-holes twice falls entirely on him. And has nothing to do with race - a-holes come in all colors.
the razor holds IMO. because this isn't adequately explained by incompetence alone. the crafty/sneaky approach has some hints of malice.

Rich is a slur these days.
I understand, so maybe my critique was a bit of my personal views.

Rather I meant that it’s a bit odd that costs are clearly specified, but the consumer has to calculate the profit themselves. In my mind, that actually makes it less transparent as high profit margins are what drive the crazy capitalist market we have today, and associating small values to material and labor doesn’t make me feel better when the profit is the “artificial” portion of my purchase price.
I'm conflicted on this one, as I have a non-nuerotypical child who may (or may not) be able to enter the workforce when they grow up. If the US had an acceptable social safety net, I'd be all for 100% inheritance tax. Since the social safety net is threadbare, part of my motivation for gathering wealth is so that my child will have a decent life, even if they may not be able to work a single day of their life.

I guess the impersonal, pull-yourself-up-by-the-bootstraps "rugged individualism" aspect of Americanness clashes with family I'll-help-in-every-way-I-can collectivism - how do you square that circle?

> But that wasn't people waking past each other in the street, that was people working with each other in poorly ventilated spaces.

Yes, this is my point. There were tons of people (most people?) who didn't/couldn't live their lives without coming into contact with other people's spread, and these people were not recommended to wear masks either.

This was particularly true in the beginning of the pandemic, when the non-scientifically-literate and non-digital-natives had yet to adapt to which behaviors were safe[1]. Masks were a simple, common-sense, zero-cost recommendation which predictably ended up being sound.

> Public health officials during the early stages fully expected all the other recommendations they were making to be taken up: proper lockdowns, vigorous test and trace with good quality supported isolation.

If you don't see this as gross incompetence, I don't know what to tell you. Assuming perfect compliance with specific measures and throwing defense in depth out of the window is shockingly stupid from multiple perspectives: scientifically, epistemically,

> it's odd to focus on the mask advice and not the late lockdowns.

I don't know anyone who defends locking down late. I know plenty of people who defend the severe and constant failures of our public health authorities. It's a much more interesting topic with much more profound implications. What's particularly fascinating about it is the _manner_ in which people defend these failures: Talk to a dozen people, and you'll get 13 highly-confident, mutually-contradictory and individually weak excuses. It strongly suggests to me that there's some weird psychological underpinning to this behavior, and that the expressed excuses are just window dressing.

(To be clear, I don't intend this as a jab against you, but as a phenomenon that's interesting in the aggregate. Your comments in particular are more thoughtful than most I come across on this topic)

[1] In the very early, high-uncertainty days of the pandemic, I had a (highly-educated and successful) uncle in his late 70s tell me not to get takeout and to wipe it down thoroughly if I did, right before saying that he only ever left the house to go to the _grocery store_. I tried telling him he had it precisely backwards (yes, this was clear from the evidence even that early), but his model stuck in his mind like a superstition and fear is a strong deterrent to changing one's mind.

And you’re at FAANG? If you have 10+ YOE, there is no reason you shouldn’t be ~70% of the way there as a single earner.

I’ve seen enough people have their marriages end and have insanely high and long term alimony payments even after the other partner has moved on and pseudo-married someone else. (But hasn’t legally married them because then they don’t get their alimony) Until marriage is treated like a business contract where consequences are agreed to before signing, it’s a terrible idea to marry someone in a lopsided financial situation unless you don’t care about any kind of risk. You’d never be able to get/afford insurance for such an incredibly risky venture.
Be cautious of the definition trap.

People have different definitions of marriage. One person ‘defending’ one definition looks like ‘actively working against’ another definition.

E.g. in some cultures, by definition, a marriage isn’t valid without a male/female sexual act (the only kind that can lead to procreation, by definition). This axiom is held by over a billion humans for example.
This is why I avoid news media pretty much completely. If you study everything a few years removed you actually get a much better picture.

The problem with news media is that people have no context what so ever and often no sense of connection. Afghanistan in 2001 fell from the clear blue sky from a non existing place to being a place that can teleport people to New York. Despite it having been in the news somewhat in the 80s.

Even the people who remembered the 80s had no context of what happened in between then because nobody cared basically.

A modern example is the Syrian Civil war, if you only follow the day by the news even if you do it everyday, you actually would have very little understanding what so ever. Many of the actual facts only get relieved much later.
It's not uncommon for a popular techno artist to talk about how Detroit techno influenced them. As far as I've seen, Detroit techno artists, most often Black, are given a lot of respect for their contributions, so I would like to hear about who was sidelined or not correctly attributed.

What about a long day trip or a weekend camping trip not in a cabin, which I do all the time. For the day trips I will be sleeping at home, so I don't want to have to take an extra day to charge my vehicle overnight. And for weekend trips camping there is again no place to charge when your in the middle of the woods, mountains or deserts. And a 120V outlet is going to be slow. Seriously why would I spend 30,000 - $50,000 on an electric car when it's less capable than my current vehicle?
Hey, Erik (Co-Founder) from ReleaseHub! We are very excited about announcing our Seed Round led by Sequoia, but even more importantly we are excited about delivering on our mission to free engineering teams from bottlenecks created by the lack of environments.

Everywhere we have worked we have had to build some kind of machine to create environments for our development, marketing, sales teams, QA, you name it. Whenever we would talk to other companies they either built something to deployment environments or were having issues because they couldn't. ReleaseHub is the culmination of the learnings over our careers and we are really excited to share it with the world.

I suspsect the camera was most likely positioned exactly on the finish line, but aimed ≈20cm behind it. This implies the rider furthest from the camera would be given an unfair advantage.

If it was nudged by a gust of wind or something, it seems very unlikely that the camera would have moved a full 20cm but remained parallel to the finish line.
Yes, point being that it seems absurd for a company to claim it has licensing agreements with a large number of people but doesn't even know who they are.

Social Conformity - it would be costly for the participants to say no, from a social standpoint, but when the wallets have to open, there is always an excuse.
It seems like there's a small resurgence. You'd use fortan over those other languages for scientific computing. It's built for number crunching. As so it has some language features that help, has been optimized for it (see the n-body problem benchmark), and a lot of the number curnching libraries are written in it.

One example of a project that I've used (but didn't work on) is GEMINI which is a newish prokect written in modern fortan. https://github.com/gemini3d/gemini3d
Reminds me of PAT Testing
Vite is frameowrk agnostic, so theoretically, angular can also benefit from it.

The roadblock lies in angular cli. angular cli is webapck based, and angular team will have to dedicate resources for the migration to vite.

Given the situation, i would say, using esbuild with webapck would be more cost effective
When I hear "bring your whole self to work", I think of gay people who couldn't mention their loved ones because that would out them. When you say there should be a "strong separation between your private life", I don't think you're expecting to never mention your family. Maybe your partner is sick and you're feeling stressed. In a supportive environment, shouldn't that be mentioned?

Even though the personal is political (such as the status of being gay), It sounds to me like you're thinking about political topics irrelevant to the organization when you advise people to "avoid controversial and political discussions". Whether the topic is relevant to your work depends on the topic, and it's up to you to make a cost-benefit analysis of whether it's worth discussing. I think that people should be able to discuss their family life and workplace policies, but I agree that broader political discussion may not be worth it.

I guess I'd like to end by saying that it depends. What don't you think should be discussed at work? Why shouldn't you discuss this with your colleagues? Personally, I think discussing a gay spouse should be fine and expected, and supporting genocide shouldn't be, but there's a lot of room in between those two extremes.

Scaling Monorepo Maintenance
Remember that kinetic energy is proportional to velocity squared. So if less traffic is letting people drive faster, that could easily result in more deaths. I live in a city, and average speeds certainly seem faster than pre-pandemic traffic.

Also, working at home may be allowing people to avoid traffic because hours are less strict. Again, that would allow traffic to move faster on average.
Yes - I was listening to a tech podcast and they thought that Apple earned 20% on the accessories and products from other companies that they sell in the physical Apple stores.

It was cringeworthy.
Too expensive for larger deployments.

What evidence do you have of this? This seems like a baseless criticism.
Is there any value in learning Fortran today, regardless if you work in a domain where it’s a thing or now?

From seeing a lot of job postings in the sort of domains one would expect it to be used(scientific stuff and similar “academic” and research fields) it seems like Python and maybe Julia has taken over for most stuff and Fortran requirements are written as if it’s a “nice to have” for any legacy maintenance.
What a wonderful summary of the benefits this change has wrought. I feel the same, but haven't maximized the opportunity as much as you have! I might head out to listen to some birds right now...
That is actually totally fair. But I will offer a quibble: having to focus on the "adequately" part makes the razor less interesting.
It's my understanding (and confirmed by other comments on HN to this article) that the rules define the camera's sensing plane as the finish plane. So, regardless of the paint on the ground (which can not and will not ever form a perfect line), it's the camera that matters.

That's not completely correct. The Air Force didn't destroy the tooling and documentation. They made an effort to preserve it. But even so it appears some was lost or is no longer usable.

> Tesla is well on its way to being the Apple of this decade

I owned a Tesla, I would not take this bet. Apple makes opinionated decisions, similar to Tesla, but they also make a quality product. Tesla struggles mightily with that. People are surprisingly loyal when it comes to car purchases, and Tesla's lack of reliability will come back to bite them in the ass. There are too many good options coming down the pipe.

Heck, the Ford Mach-E all by itself is the epitome of why Tesla won't be the next Apple. It is a better Model Y than the Model Y. Ford really hit that one out of the park IMO, and that's just their opening salvo. As more of the real car companies start bringing out real cars, just powered by electricity, it's going to be great.
>I think many Europeans on this thread might have a biased perception of what music consumption in the 90s in North America looked like based more on North American exports than on what was actually happening here

Kinda like the American perception on European's techno culture.

Hint: when the clubs released their yearly compilation based on 3 or 4 CD's, you had one disc per genre: Techno, trance, house and progressive/sung. So in the end we listened to all of the EDM offer inbetween depending on the mood.

Also, as I said, dance megamix CD's in Spain could be found as early as late 80's. Ok, more like vinyls, but the concept stays.
I think this little thread has shown that the so-called culture and spirit of a organization is largely a myth, or more precisely, a form of brand marketing instead of actual inherent nature of an organization.
> Until we can determine the impact, I don't see why it should be banned outright.

Do you apply this philosophy in your life? If the risk was for you to take on yourself would you think the same way? Or only when the risk is to some far off people, in a far off land, or some future generation?
> describing pretty trivial using docker containers

It is important to understand trivial doesn't always mean fast and easy. Also "easy" is a matter of perspective.
Perhaps you're not a native English speaker, or you did not read my post carefully.

I'm saying, as all knowledgeable people are saying, that the US needs to stay strong, and be perceived as strong, to act as a deterrent to war.

Nobody wants nuclear war, but we're literally on the brink with the CCP. They have been in a Cold War with us since the first Taiwan Strait conflict and Korean War in the 1950s, but US leaders just didn't listen to their rhetoric.

(If you follow news from China, their current leaders have publicly suggested sending two ships for every US one, and ramming and sinking the US ships.)

This is not well-known, but Xi was the mid-level leader behind the Scarborough Shoals (Philippines islands) takeover in 2012 under the Obama administration, and is now General Secretary. That was the beginning of the 9 dashed-line issues, but could have been stopped by Obama. Now some of those islands have missile batteries, so there has been escalation.

Xi got away with it then, and none of the trade deals or WTO rulings have been honored. So CCP perception is that the US is a paper tiger at this point, and usually that requires war to sort out, as with Hitler in WW2.

If the university doesn't review research methodologies that directly impact others (I'm not talking about societal impact of the work down the line), then they should be considered bad-faith actors. This is the equivalent of punishing a university for not having an IRB for human experiments .

Unused resources are common, but this kind of thing is only valuable at the scale at which you already have engineering teams doing useful stuff with the storage. Smaller enterprises are not going to be deploying "cryptofarming", there is no way it would be approved in the vast majority of orgs.

So in the end this is going to be just like every other cryptocurrency: people largely deploying exclusive mining (sorry, "farming") capacity and consuming resources doing so.
I'm glad you admit everyone deserves breaks; it seems to have been remarkably easy to convince you. I'm also glad to see your position on paying for the rest shift from outright opposition to unspecified contracts being excessive.

None of the rest of your reply is actually a response to what I said, though some of it is interesting. You also notably didn't respond to what I said about politicians.

Regarding Fortran programmers' contracts being honored, I would certainly hope any business would meet its contractual obligations (when they are moral and legal). Surely you aren't actually suggesting they shouldn't? Whether signing such a contract was a good idea or not, the very concept of a contract is founded on actually executing the terms of the agreement afterward.

I have never encountered a business that consistently swiftly dropped the underperforming parts of the team. I know that stack ranking firms supposedly exist, but they are far from typical. Even if your employment history is atypical, surely you've encountered less than efficient employees at clients, at vendors, and just out in the world in retail or restaurants; have you never happened to observe some of them staying in those positions at length? If you have seen private enterprise up close, it's hard to fathom the idea that it runs lean operations without waste.

Furthermore, many businesses have employees, sometimes many of them, who don't have the kind of clear work products that would make "the underperforming 25% of the team" potentially conceptually coherent. Plenty have employees with as little to do as a TBM oiler or an elevator operator. The market isn't just taking its time in pushing them to be more efficient, either. Actual markets and actual managers don't work like in an entry-level economics class.
