I think the css grid got too complicated to fit in my brain. I mean not just the usage and the details, that ship has sailed a long time ago anyway. These days, I can't keep in my mind even what it is capable of and how to approach my layout problems. Perhaps embarrassing for a web developer of my experience, or maybe we really need better tools (not just standards!) for layout.

This article reminds me of the life of Charles Eastman ('Ohíye S'a', 1858-1939) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Eastman], a Santee Dakota born in MN the year it became a state.

He graduated from Beloit, Dartmouth, and Boston medical school - then went back to work at the Pine Ridge and Crow rez's. He wrote several very readable books, full of insights, including Indian Boyhood (1902)
It’s amazing there were no casualties. The novelty of the report is the use of a rescue parachute by the Cirrus plane.
They're generally "low power".

-On average less data is transferred - even in modern frameworks bundles still weigh more than multiple static pages.

-Small(or non-existent) JS bundles mean much less time/energy spent compiling - this is currently the largest task when rendering a page for the first time.

Both of these advantages are especially visible on mobile devices.
The reason I kept the minimum OpenGL 3.3 requirement is because it is supported on the biggest range of platforms. OpenGL 4.xx features require some features from newer generation cards. Of course, with time this is becoming less and less relevant.

In some parts of the code, I did make use of OpenGL 4.xx features like glMultiDrawIndirect, but this is put behind a check to see if it's supported by the driver and added a slower fallback for OpenGL 3.3.

The entire VM is different:

- you can replace builtins in python.
- you have __dunder__ methods and multiple inheritance.
- JS has an ever running event loop and is async by default.
- python is more strickly typed.

It's not impossible (see brython), but it's not easy either.

I've seen similar and asked a lawyer to amend it to something like material created using office owned equipment. If you want to go one better, you'll have to say that it's material created for work purposes and then define what the work purpose is.

An hour of the lawyer's time is probably cheaper than two hours of your time trying to research better words, and they'll likely get it right.

Private Pilot here - just thought I'd chime in quickly;

Many aviation enthusiasts / pilots first go to is to have a look at the flight data - usually available on FlightAware / FlightRadar24 and a few other websites, plus LiveATC usually can provide recordings of the flights communications to towers as well. We should refrain from using just those data points to draw conclusions to the cause; the NTSB (and other orgs) will perform an investigation and the report will be made public (both interim, and final ones), and changes are almost always made to processes / systems, and often to the virtual or physical items that led to this incident.

There are a few more photos and insights from various folks that were there at the time and captured a few moments on the reddit thread here:

Not sure how you missed the second sentence, or why you would use made up numbers in your response when I provided the brackets.

In the U.S., as a single filer, you pay 10% on your first $9,875, 12% from $9,876 to $40,125 and 22% from $40,126 to $85,525.

It does end up at 13% of $72K, assuming the $10K standard deduction. Since only the initial percentage was posted, no one would have any way of knowing if it was coming from the total calculation or anywhere else.

> Clearly everyone should try to pay a reasonable share.

That isn't clear to me, because using the government to collect revenue hasn't been demonstrated to be a benefit. This still presupposes that government revenue is inherently beneficial.

I think if everyone found a way to pay virtually nothing, the government would collapse. That's not the same thing as society collapsing, society and the government are not coterminous.

Tax revenues don't go to "society", they go to the government. It is a logical leap to assume a collapse of society when the government loses funding.

How does one learn to appreciate such things?

I think my problem is:

1. Fiction: I think it is pointless. I try to watch fictional movies.

2. Information I feel is irrelevant: Say I'm writing, I would prefer:

"He proposed to her in a park with friends."

To:

"The sun stood firm, there was melody in the wind, his body was perfect like diamonds rubbed together. He held her gaze for an eternity, ignorant of his friends at the park. She felt puzzled -- he could see her in a way that would make even Heimdall jealous. Finally, he brought out the ring and proposed."

I feel like I'm missing out on a colorful part of life. But my attempts to change this hasn't work (like forcing myself to see more fiction).

I'm also motivated to change this to improve conversations (like dates or group conversations). I find more people are into this than me.

Thanks.
Just in case anyone (like me) is thinking - wait did that aeroplane have a parachute?

From:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cirrus_Airframe_Parachute_Sy...

The Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS) is a whole-plane ballistic parachute recovery system designed specifically for Cirrus Aircraft's line of general aviation light aircraft including the SR20, SR22 and SF50. The design became the first of its kind to become certified with the FAA, achieving certification in October 1998, and as of 2014 was the only aircraft ballistic parachute used as standard equipment by an aviation company.
The Sun RPC code had a loop where it allocated one page at a time and filled an array with the returned pointers. The article says there was a 500% performance improvement after replacing the loop with a single call to the batch allocator. (While RPC can be thought of as networking code, it is more than just network packet flow.)

There are probably other places where this will help. Now that the interface is available, developers can start trying it.

A motherfucking polymath at this point

From wikipedia:
A polymath (Greek: πολυμαθής, polymathēs, "having learned much"; Latin: homo universalis, "universal man") is an individual whose knowledge spans a substantial number of subjects, known to draw on complex bodies of knowledge to solve specific problems.
Yes it does. I do the same, with an alias and have .git somewhere else not directly in $HOME, but pointing to it with --git-dir. If you run git in ~, it will not recognize it as a git repository or worktree. You can only modify the repo with the alias or by specifying --git-dir explicitly.

These setup also prevents zsh/bash git prompt extensions from detecting git the the home folder repo, which can be confusing, I think.
I still use float and positioning, it works fine.

Even the Moon. ISS visitors are selected very, very carefully to minimise these risks. But as soon as you get a slightly larger colony further from Earth, mental health is going to become a problem.

Which is why Mars is a tougher project than it seems. The ferry part is relatively easy compared to the incredibly difficult challenge of building a self-sustaining stable ecosystem that can survive on a manageably small umbilical to Earth, and the even harder challenge of building a political system that doesn't explode into factional war, regular suicides, and/or mad dictatorship.

Musk is already a little eccentric and doesn't seem like someone with the world's highest EQ. I suspect he's underestimating how hard it's going to be to make a colony work.

The mail was delivered twice a day in most places until April 1950 when cuts made this impossible.

This is to say-- there have been changes made to the delivery frequency historically and there will be again most likely.

I like the USPS, but there is something odd about taking a piece of mail and dumping it directly into the shredder. You'd be surprised how many junk-mails contain a thick plastic card that can't be shredded-- I assume its to force you to open it.

It has gotten to the point with all of my communication technologies-- I dread phone calls, I dread text and instant messages. I dread mail of any type-- it's always bad news.

I wouldn't do the same in their shoes and this statement

>obligates executives to take advantage of them (fiduciary duty)

Is a piece of wisdom that exists entirely on the internet unconnected with objective reality. You are obligated to in the general case to serve the shareholders interests but you are absolutely legally entirely able to take a broader and deeper view than this quarters profits and use your own judgement.

Take this situation. Do you really believe that had they NOT done this someone could have gone to court to legally compel the CEO to set up shell corps and tax havens? That isn't have fiduciary duty works. Fiduciary duty means you don't screw the shareholders to help yourself it doesn't mean you are obliged to substitute their judgement for yours or toss out vital but nebulous goals like long term profitability, reputation, and ethics. If they have enough control they have the privilege of firing you not substituting their judgement for yours.

A natural gas powered container ship would probably have lower emissions per unit of cargo moved than the proposed "eco" sailing ship, which has low cargo capacity by modern standards. The big problem with cargo ships from a pollution standpoint is that they run on really crappy "bunker oil C", which is about halfway between jet fuel and asphalt. Heavier than seawater. One of the biggest sources of preventable pollution.

And, come on, then want to haul sails by hand on a ship of that size? And use rowing machines to generate electric power? They'd need a huge crew.

Liquid natural gas carriers often run on their own natural gas. There a few natural gas powered freighters now, but they're built in the US for the run to Puerto Rico, which, under the Jones Act, is limited to American ships.

Personally, I find it easy to use (definitely more predictable for me than flexbox). Grid layout is pretty straightforward and it is easy to understand what to expect. For complicated layouts you can just use the grid-template-areas, so you have a visual representation of your grid in your css directly.

Nice to see someone doing engineering math.

Based on this Semi with 150 miles of range and a 250kwh battery.

https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a34876269/volvo-trucks-ele...

Probably need 1000 kwh to get 600 miles of range.

At 150wh/kg (based on a Tesla 3) that's 6,670 kg for equivalent battery.

vs your calculation of 11,000kg for the tank.

In general though c++ has some level of feature orthogonality, that is features you don't use will not hurt you. But for large projects, C++ is the saner choice with its builtin library of data structures, templating, namespaces etc..

All these could perhaps be done in c, but why spent a lot of time making this infrastructure if one could spent more time on ones application domain solutions.
I can do it no problem (have changed all the keycaps on a keyboard a few times), but it is indeed a different kind of memorization.
I can recite the qwerty letters all in a row, but for dvorak and workman, I didn't spend as many years with them (or actually ever see keycaps arranged that way on a real keyboard), so I would have to imagine myself typing for those.
WebKit measured this to be an improvement of less than 2%. So it is certainly "one of the reasons", but certainly not a driving one. (Plus, it's ARMv8.3+.)
Campaign finance is certainly broken, but it's not the same as lobbying. Also, most evidence points towards money having little if any impact on elections. Most recently, Bloomberg spent $570 million on primaries and only received 31 delegates.

Even outside of WHO's list, the number of prescription drugs in existence is surprisingly low. People might imagine there are "millions" of drugs. But it seems to be in the ballpark of ~600 based on looking at:

- items in the Compendium of Pharmaceuticals and Specialties (Canada) or the United States Pharmacopeia

- number of Drug Identification Numbers (DIN) (Canada) or National Drug Codes (NDC) (USA)

- how many SKUs a large pharmacy has (when I asked a pharmacist)

The WHO Model List of Essential Medicines gives just 460 medicines, by the way.

The drug manufacturers give basic drugs different names depending on the country or market, or combine basic drugs in combo pills with new names, and make extended release versions and whatnot. Therefore we have the perception that there is much more variety than there really is.

EDIT: The FDA has approved 1,453 drugs in its entire history[1] but it's not clear how many were withdrawn or are no longer marketed.

If your end user is using a browser, the session/cookie is the right mechanism to use. Even though it seems more convenient to use JWT instead of a regular cookie, since JWT is not recognized by browsers, there are security gotchas when using JWT as a replacement for session.

JWT makes sense to authenticate microservices within a trusted network where a gateway server logges the user into the network using a session. Microservices within the network communicate via JWT where the user does not have direct access to them. There should be a separate server that does the lookup for specific services.

Tesla Stops Accepting Bitcoin as a Payment
quote from The Independent:

The company, which is based in Houston, Texas, says that XRP is the least damaging, using 0.0079 of a Kilowatt hour (KWh) per transaction.

Dogecoin, which is a favourite of Mr Musk and which he plugged during his recent Saturday Night Live appearance, is rated at 0.12 KWH.

Litecoin, which has been described as silver to Bitcoin’s gold, is rated at 18.522 KWh, while Ethereum uses 62.56 KWh.

Bitcoin, the most successful of all the cryptocurrencies, is bottom of the list at 707 KWh.

I don't think the app is evil. More likely it's technical constraints + overly zealous approach in code to simplify UX.

FWIW Android has a weird peculiarity where the developer needs Location permission for Bluetooth to work (I don't know the details). (When I print wirelessly with my printer over WiFi, I need to enable location too).

https://developer.android.com/training/location/permissions

> ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
Provides a more accurate location than one provided when you request ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION. This permission is necessary for some connectivity tasks, such as connecting to nearby devices over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).

About screenshots, it's the same as banking apps. I think they try to be overly cautious.

Anyway, can't the brush be used without the app?
Apple is also a candidate, however I wouldn't know into what departments to split it. At least with the others, this answer becomes pretty easy.
You are arguing against a false assumption.

Most web apps that use "normal" auth don't call an auth service. They drop an encrypted auth cookie that is checked on every page load and which is very fast. Session data and any centralised auth check (banned user for example) are simply database calls, which are no slower than the perhaps 10 or 20 other calls you are probably already making on your page.

JSC didn't even use that instruction when most of the benchmark was done. It has absolutely nothing to do with it, the idea floated or amplified by Grubber / DaringFireball which I believe he never actually goes back to correct it even after the fact was shown.

Most web frameworks support JWT out of the box so just calling a web service written in these means it is preferable to use an existing format rather than rolling your own.

Sure there are some gotchas but it isn't that hard to read up on that once, configure your JWT check and then leave it alone.

Also, we pass additional claims in the JWT that avoids the need for the web service having to check certain permissions or auth status itself (like what resources the user has requested) and this is going to be a mess if you try and "just HMAC(SHA256())"
