It's one of the few realistic scifi movies out there. No aliens eating your face. No sound in space. No unobtanium. No gravity plating. Etc...

It was made by someone with attention to detail. When Cooper looks out the window, it looks exactly like the real footage of Apollo astronauts looking out the CM window.

The music is great. That can't be understated. The organ music lends a gravitas that's missing in other scifi movies.

But most importantly, it goes to the core of what I want from science fiction: it changed my world view, permanently.

Remember Doctor Mann, and his desperation to return to Earth? No other piece of fiction has made me feel that way. That utter, unspeakable, unbearable isolation of being the only human on this side of the universe. To be so far from everything that it's hard to wrap your brain around it. And if you do... you experience a Lovecraftian horror that drives you mad.

That's why I like Interstaller. It's proper, classic science fiction!

It says 'HTML5 canvas image data' which is probably different than what I said (HTML5 canvas API). Sorry for any confusion.
If you replace a "perfectly good" coal plant with alternative energy, yes that's broken window fallacy.

However, the coal plant is not perfectly good -- it has a massive amount of externalities that outweigh its benefits.
Agree with this. I think the time dilation was the best part of the movie - had not seen that used in major movies before.
The Essential Medicines list has a very clear purpose, which it satisfies.

It states what medicines are essential - to give an indication of what minimum preparations can to be made (by states) for these to be stocked and affordable.

But, it's not intended as a dictionary/classification system. It's not intended to be a comprehensive list of medicines available in the UK. That's for the UK to decide.

This list was not made for you (nor anyone else commenting negatively in this thread). It doesn't fit your purpose, and that's fine.

Reminds me of this story from The Onion:

American People Hire High-Powered Lobbyist To Push Interests In Congress

"WASHINGTON—Citing a desire to gain influence in Washington, the American people confirmed Friday that they have hired high-powered D.C. lobbyist Jack Weldon of the firm Patton Boggs to help advance their agenda in Congress.

Known among Beltway insiders for his ability to sway public policy on behalf of massive corporations such as Johnson & Johnson, Monsanto, and AT&T, Weldon, 53, is expected to use his vast network of political connections to give his new client a voice in the legislative process."

Travelling between orbital spacecraft is not as easy at it sounds.
Are there any fees associated with an emergency landing like that? I imagine La Guardia runways are in pretty high demand but pilots have a culture that prioritizes safety above all else so I’d be curious which takes precedence.
You can't have evolution without dropping ties to the past from time to time. That's about time to drop IE11 to take full advantage of modern Web features.
I believe refresh tokens are supposed to be HTTP Only
Python 2 was blocking. Python 3 is non-blocking.
Who's talking about 'the very best'? No disrespect to the author of this game engine, but I'd hardly rank them with the likes of John Carmack. You don't have to be John Carmack to write a game engine, but you do have to devote time and effort to it. Parent is comparing themselves to someone who successfully did a thing, while apparently having not put any effort in to this particular thing, and feeling bad. That doesn't make any sense.

> It's actually a pretty decent movie, but it's a drama, not sci-fi. It uses "science" purely as an aesthetic device without actually exploring any scientific effects.

Fair assessment, but I beg to differ on your definition of "sci-fi"; I find it quite restrictive. You can say the same for Bradbury's "The Martian Chronicles". Mars might as well be Narnia as he just uses the notion of it being an alien planet to set-up tension and make a point about human behavior. It's more philosophical/psychological than scientific but I'd still call it sci-fi.

I guess you are entitled to expect a harder integration of science from a 2011 sci-fi film but I think "Another Earth" definitely takes from established, if outdated, cues in the genre.

But potaytos and potahtos. We can differ in opinion.
Fair, though that would be a much more compelling observation if anyone had ever succeeded in implementing a full-fledged insurance policy in the form of a smart contract.

I'm curious, for example, how you'd get an errors and omissions clause working in Etherium. Like, how would Ether arbitrate a claim against that policy? Assume, for the sake of argument, that hard AI has not been invented yet.
This definitely varies by university. I had haskell and C on my first year, only had Java on the second.
Hardly. HN will talk about how they could build the same thing in a week, why enterprise pricing is "Call to discuss" only, or complaining about the use of Google/Adobe Analytics.
Hours aren't too bad. Although we would still need to understand if they cause any issues in the body.

Anything with a half life of a year or more is concerning due to the near continual exposure. You'll accumulate it faster than you'll get rid of it.

I am counting down the days until our customers stop using IE11, most of them offer the option of IE11 or Edge.

We have so little traffic from it now, and the browser renders far slower than Edge / Chrome. Habits are hard to kick in enterprise.
I was not saying the US-lead world order isn't overhyped.

I was also not saying that Trump was a solitary problem.

I was not even judging Trump in my post, or making any partisan claims.

I was pointing out that you're attacking a strawman in your original post (as well as the one above). The original claim was simply "US policy in the past helped prevent pandemics. Under the prior administration, that policy changed, and we got a pandemic".

In response, you talked about global warming and Hitler. So I tried to explain why the logical leaps you took did not make sense.
There is a maximum speed that the system can handle:

> Four CAPS deployments occurred successfully at higher speeds, 168, 171, 187 and 190 knots indicated airspeed, and one deployment failed at an airspeed estimated at over 300 knots airspeed.

* https://www.cirruspilots.org/Safety/What-Is-CAPS

Anything lower than that will forward-motion stop the aircraft. AFAICT, there is a need for 2000' (650m) of altitude above the ground for the system to deploy in time to be useful (slow descent).
> I need to read a whole heap about relativity

ِYou don't, really. Studying physics and cosmology has almost zero instrumental utility (except signalling, where I don't think it's worth its measly returns, and contributes little to the society). The child doesn't know this, but you do; That's why you don't know that much about the topic in the first place. Curiosity is as much about pruning unproductive lines of learning as it is about trying new things.
I just don't want to leave climate change up to the whims of strangers.

If you're in business, you compete with people who put their jobs before society, so you don't really have much choice. Call that a race to the bottom if you want, but it's a race – and races need rules.
Appiva App New Website
Hi there, I am the creator of appivapp.com and I am curious about the condition of the application if it is great or not. I am developing applications from what I learned from udemy generally and what I improved myself on years.

There are many applications on the website most of them one-pager tools made with APIs. I also built more extended tools but in this period of time, I cannot find valuable time to develop 2-3 month projects right now. Therefore any idea and comment about the website would be valuable and much appreciated. Thanks
> Love "Arrival" but I won't nominate it for this list. It's for "physics lovers" and "Arrival" is more for linguistics nerds

Honestly I wouldn't hesitate to put it on the list (if you liked it of course). Both physics and linguistics play a part.
IMO filesystems should treat different characters as different. Case-insensitivity at the storage level is always a mistake. It's occasionally fine for search or display, but it's a lossy operation. Sadly legacy compatibility has kept this choice on a number of filesystems.
-> it has a massive amount of externalities that outweigh its benefits.

Can you support this claim?
Who still uses IE11 anyway?
Plato said the prime of life doesn't even start until you're 25 and Schopenhauer said something similar (can't recall his exact number). You can still learn and grow a lot way later into life than most people think. If you really care, just try different techniques, measure/test yourself, and continue the cycle. If you can't find the motivation, maybe it's just actually not that important to you, and deep down you have greater interest in other things than learning how to type fast.
Yep, this post wasn't 100% complete. Someone else posted it.

No complaints here but going to add images in asap.
In general. But in specific cases it can be?
OCaml is everything D wanted to be, but failed

OCaml is high performance, Garbage Collected, hybrid system and application programming language

You can use OCaml to write high performance Apps and System tools without worrying too much about performance, or doing crazy manual memory management

I would also say, if you like Go, but think you hit a wall with it, then try OCaml

system programming language: C, C++, Rust

Hybrid system and application languages: OCaml, Go , D

If you need a language in this class (Hybrid system and app)I think currently Go and OCaml are your only options, Go being closer to C, Java familly of languages and OCaml is an ML language, so choose as per your preference
VS Code and the likes do the same, right? I'm pretty sure this all will soon be optimized, if not already are.
In the airline world it would at the very least be encouraged and in many cases mandatory to have the underlying approach programmed for this anyway. Even more so if told not to fly through final you would have the localizer up and monitor it.

In a Cirrus with what is probably a GFC 700 with flight director capabilities I would expect any competent instrument rated pilot to have the FD on and approach mode armed (the 1 missing button I meant) exactly to avoid this mistake.

Great to hand fly, but in a capable airplane just plain stupid not to use all the tools. And even mandatory on the professional side of things in many cases.
What can the United States really do? They produce 15% of global CO2 emissions. China produces 30%, and is building new coal plants every year. Its coal consumption has tripled since 2000. Aside from Japan, Russia, and India, no other single nation produces more than 5% of the total. The entire EU produces 9%.

Even if the U.S. and the EU immediately stopped emitting 100% of their CO2, would it have any real effect on climate change? China would make up the difference within a decade or two. The entire continent of Africa is ready to industrialize, and its population is projected to decuple to 10 billion by 2050.

I don't blame people for being skeptical of the idea that America investing in green energy will save the world. It's a drop in the bucket.
If you find it offensive that sometimes people are treated differently (intentionally or not) because of their gender or race you wouldn't be alone!

But, whether these concerns are real or just perceived, they won't go away simply by preventing people from talking about them. That just reinforces the perception of injustice.
Which special treatment is this ?

Might be more sensible to give smallish tax breaks for CGT to ordinary workers and reform the taxation of worker share options no more crippling tax bills for worthless options.

Id also encourage listed companies to offer UK style share saves to all workers to allow those lower down the food chain to actually get some equity.
Well war is probably very healthy. In a way
The only interesting aspect of blockchain is decentralized trust - trust being the key part. If you don't need decentralized trust you don't need blockchain. And outside of a global currency, there isn't much that needs that.

DeFi is just unregulated speculation / ponzi schemes. People came up with new systems (supposedly faster than bitcoin) to send currency back and forth. People are flocking to it hoping to get rich quick, but it doesn't actually deliver anything novel outside of not being regulated.

Internet Computer would be cool if it was actually decentralized. But it's not:

> The Internet Computer hosts its own governance system, called the "Network Nervous System" (NNS). In order for a data center to provide compute capacity to the Internet Computer network, it must acquire a DcID (Data Center ID) by making an application to the governance system

And unfortunately making a decentralized version of what Internet Computer wants to do is _very_ hard (maybe impossible).

So many of the newer "blockchain" tech is considered useless is because, like Internet Computer, they cheat and introduce centralization because of the technical limitations of being decentralized. BNB/BSC is a huge example of this (one of the major new "defi" networks).
Alright, but even if they do, the original ETH token will be mined. Look at Ethereum Classic. It just recently pumped a lot. Which smart contracts run on it?

That's the thing. Read my analysis... it doesn't matter if something better comes along. As long as the tokens are around they can just be more and more scarce and go up in price.
This is just a coupon scheme for rich people. If you have the time and energy to jump through the technical hoops, you get the discount.

Plenty of people go through the gym gate, meeting the Vitality discount condition, and then sit and read a newspaper.
- Not even supported by Microsoft apps like Teams

- Easily less than 1% market share

- IE11 is side by side packaged with some version of Edge in almost every case

This seems reasonable.
> If the algorithm perfectly selected more music you like you still wouldn't be more likely to look up the name of the track I don't think.

The causation goes the other way. People are more likely to want to learn about the background behind the music in order to more deeply immerse themselves into a scene where they can be exposed to more music like this. It's why if you go into the record store looking for a recommendation one of the first questions is "What kind of music do you like?" But if nobody ever asks you that question, and you never have to stop and think about it in order to articulate your answer to that question, you wouldn't really know off the top of your head.
Great news! But it doesn't work with MS Edge PIN. It returns this error: unsupported_att_fmt (same as "aheckler")
I'm ok with ads in a newspaper. I can ignore them safely and blend them out. Many online ads nowaday blink or do other dark patterns to make ignoring them harder though. I hate that.
> It's hard to impress upon folks who have never been in a small plane like that just how ... yeah ... how much it feels like you're hanging onto a kite.

Years ago I was doing pilot training in a Cessna 152. A coworker of mine was a retired Navy captain and instructor at the TOPGUN program, with hundreds of carrier landings in an F-14. He looked at me like I was crazy. He said those little planes were deathtraps and he'd never go up in one again.

Not long after that I had a lesson that coincided with some turbulence from the nearby coast. The plane janked around by seemingly hundreds of feet in every direction. I was scared (almost literally) shitless, and that was my last lesson. I haven't been in a small plane since.
> I have never seen anything like it for past 20 years...

If you like this movie's stylistics, I'd recommend you to give Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1989) a chance!

Both are filmed black and white, both have amazing soundtracks and have industrial and cyberpunk culture influences. The camera work and the cinematography on the tetsuo is beyond epic

Unfortunately I do agree with this. I think a lot of tech isn't a matter of "what's the best?" but instead "what's the least bad?". I don't think Office is perfect but I think it's a lot less bad than google. I don't think MacOS is great but it's a lot better than windows for certain things, and vice versa. IMO unless software puts the user first in allowing customization and control, the best we can ever get is good instead of great.
Similar. It's more an example of the apocryphal economist anecdote - "if it's jobs you want, you should have them dig with spoons instead of shovels." https://quoteinvestigator.com/2011/10/10/spoons-shovels/

"More jobs" for the same production of goods/energy is less efficient and produces less total prosperity. You're better off using the most efficient means of production, and letting the other people produce something else of value.
If you haven't tried a type system better than what Java used to be, you owe it to yourself to try one of the other options out there.

Also, type systems are almost proven at this point to produce better and easier to maintain code in the long term. Startups may not need it while they're iterating super quick, but when they do that rewrite 1-3 years in or whatever, they'll be better served picking a language with a good type system.

[EDIT] - Oh also, ORMs are bad, just don't use em unless you really need the velocity. Hooking classes up to objects is just about all I use ORMs for -- write your migrations in SQL and write all queries that aren't braindead-easy (i.e. repository pattern stuff) in SQL/query builder.
Very good to know, thanks!

Yeah I'll pile on here. DDD is a process fix, not a tech fix, and broadly unless you're using Java, you can't implement it very well. Or, you'll find that you're actually using it without knowing it. Case in point, we used Django at my last gig and Django basically is DDD (apps are domains, models are entities, etc). We then started implementing DDD and essentially built weirdly named Django on Django, with way worse performance--and now any engineer we hired had to know two things (Django _and_ DDD).

I wouldn't necessarily blame DDD here though? Mostly the problems were we didn't have reasonable performance metrics. Our CTO thought we had a problem, then he decided we should implement DDD, then we implemented it, and he thought we no longer had a problem. But there were no numbers to point to, we didn't know if we were delivering features faster/slower, if our PRs were smaller/larger, if our defect rate was higher/lower. We _did_ know our app was slower, because it would timeout (ha), but that's kind of the worst way to find that out.

But, generally my argument here is:

Think of any baller software project you use. Is it VS Code? Chrome? GitHub? NGINX? Do any of these use DDD?
Its sort of like Hysterical Realism in literature - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hysterical_realism

There will be a never ending stream of "facts" that feed, surprise and mesmerize the curious mind, but no one is any wiser about anything at the end of it.

So just keep asking yourself is all the drama producing outcomes. Outcomes are the safest lodestone in the info tsunami age.

Not worth getting caught up in what the folks "on both sides" are saying reality show. Cuz focusing on "both sides of the story" can take focus away from the fact that the more Complex the Problem, all sides pretend they have the answer and all sides blunder in their own ways. Then they point at each other to take focus away from their own blundering.

When such things happen the right path is always to look for people solving simple things. Not the buffoons on "both sides" claiming mastery over complexity.

Rationality has an upper bound - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bounded_rationality and when that bound get hit all you are left with is ambiguity.
@ollymeakings, the key point I would have loved to learn was how effective your service was. So by implementing (some / all) of your advice, how much did the conversion increase over next 3 months or so? (with no additional marketing and other implausible but desirable assumptions). You do mention "as I built evidence of the roasts increasing conversion" but leave the evidence hanging. Or perhaps I read the otherwise quite comprehensive piece too hastily. Interesting stuff, thanks for sharing!
I remember enjoying Insignificance when I was twelve or thirteen. I haven't revisited it since then to get an adult appraisal of it, but for films "every physics lover should watch in their lifetime" you probably can't leave off a movie about Albert Einstein, Marilyn Monroe, Joe DiMaggio, and Joseph McCarthy hanging out in a hotel suite.

I re-watched Hackers recently and it isn't that bad. They clearly did the research, and then spiced things up for more enjoyable viewing. It's not accurate, but it wasn't trying to be, and I think they got the main points across perfectly well.

Eg, there's a lot of social engineering, and taking sensible precautions like not using your own connection. The villain's plot of hijacking a control system and extorting money is perfectly modern.

Sure, there's a bunch of colorful graphics they put on top of that, but it's arguably a visual representation of "being in the zone", and something that's done in virtually every other piece of media ever. Any real job includes lots of boring work that never ends up on the screen, and you just get the highlights.

If this post were called "We wrote a book about our approach to building DDD/CQRS business software using Go", I would be perfectly fine with it.

Feels like a clickbait, especially after your learn that the consultancy that wrote the book built their whole identity around being "DDD in Go" experts. Just don't push it on everyone. This kind of marketing is doing real harm to Go newbies, like that "standard Go project template" repo.
