I've enjoyed BestBus for DC <-> NY. I picked them based on reviews and had a good experience.

I think DC <-> NY is a special case where there's a lot of competition and it's possible to have a good experience.

IIRC Amtrak would've been about $200 vs $60 for the bus, and only about an hour faster.
Hadn't heard of promxy before. In the past to reduce cardinality/deduplicate metrics, I've just ran another instance of Prometheus entirely in-memory and used rewrite rules.

Exposing a metrics endpoint for customers is nice. How do you manage the cardinality? I haven't used Victoria before, is it just better at high cardinality time series?

I agree with that, and I hope my comment above didn't mean to sound dismissive of concerns about visual design!

Visual work to mean these workarounds are not required is one of our main priorities for the next few months, and I mentioned the above mainly because many folks have found them helpful when using the Zulip that exists today.

I'm not really sure how options should be valued, and I haven't negotiated from a position of have a ton of unvested equity. But if an engineer got extremely lucky by joining the right startup, say Coinbase, leaving early might mean giving up a few million in unvested equity.

That's a lot of equity if the startup treats that lost income as if the engineer had invested that amount in the last fundraising round. Options instead of stock, common instead of preferred shares, and risk adjustment should all probably increase the equity amount. I'm not sure that most startups would give mid-level engineers millions in equity.
The title is a bit clickbity. The main idea is not just not to answer, but to push the child to inquire on its own and give it leading questions.

I had quite a rude awakening when I switched to an iPhone recently. I had to adopt NextDNS for its domain-level ad blocking, but it’s amazing how many ads still come through. I don’t know how people browse the web without any sort of ad blocking these days.
Been really liking Syncthing, mostly moved off of Dropbox to it. I've noticed recently that Dropbox is very slow at resyncing when waking from sleep (on Linux, at least), taking easily 5-10 minutes or something much longer before it realizing it is out of sync. On the other hand Syncthing is about as quick as anything once network connection is restored. It is syncing on a local network, but Dropbox used to be as quick, too. Another reason I'm glad I've switched.
Rationing makes simple things complex. For example, rationing assumes that everyone has exactly the same need. Trying to fix that is hopelessly complicated.
It is certainly the biggest issue with the idea. I thought about having a checkbox in a reply. Also there could be a side pointing vote arrow. So if you place your comment in generic category you would only have a side- and a down- vote buttons. If your comment gets more side-votes then up-votes it becomes generic (maybe after a threshold). Also people who's comments are too often made "generic" by community or moderators would not be trusted as much on "on-topic" comment votes.

Without introducing more UI/UX it could then work like this: On-topic comments would go first, then side/generic comments and then down-voted comments. Side-vote would be a little like down-vote, but side-votes would count against other side-voted comments.

As always it would go down to many checks and balances. So it it easier to say then do.

Your manual intervention as you describe is often visible and welcome.

This would require adding the force of drag to the dynamics timestep, since the purpose of the belly-flop (after re-entry) is to minimize terminal velocity by maximizing drag. Currently his solver assumes no drag.

Calculating the drag on an ideal cylinder is non-trivial to begin with. It gets vastly more complicated once you start adding the flaps, which are what Starship uses to get itself into the belly-flop position in the first place. Simulating the whole belly-flop maneuver isn't going to be feasible on the scale of a blog post.

Exactly this. I normally would agree with folks saying that the CDC has little reason to be dishonest, but with COVID in particular, we see enough historical reversal to cause at least some uncertainty around their guidance.

Plus, it also makes sense, if their and the government’s interests are for the greater good. E.g. being cautious about promoting early use of masks when supplies were scarce/preserving them for the front line medical workers.

Theoretically it would also make sense for current guidance to incentivize vaccines when the remaining unvaccinated population is hesitant.

To be clear, I’m not saying I have certainly that this is what’s happening. But the theories aren’t unreasonable, and CDC’s past reversal on guidance doesn’t help the confidence others have in their guidance.

So the uncertainty isn’t completely unreasonable.

You can adjust the parameters to make a new variant of the Computer Modern font if you think that it is too thin or whatever. (However, there are some parameters missing in my opinion (including the shape of the "R"), but it is possible to modify the code to add more if wanted.)

I think that Computer Modern is OK for print; it is not so good for screen. (However, it does have better kerning than some screen fonts.)
It’s not simply bitcoins energy consumption - it’s the energy consumption relative to other PoW cryptocurrencies.

There was a study published recently showing that Bitcoin uses more than 2000x more energy per transaction than dogecoin, for example. No doubt it is this revelation that has made musk reconsider which cryptocurrency he should be backing.

I know you said no large cloud provider, but seriously consider Oracle Cloud Infrastructure for your needs.

Ah okay. When you were talking about kleptocracy and playing by different rules, manipulation only applies to the securities market in some small circumstances that can be mitigated with tiny tiny disclaimers. I personally have completely aligned expectations for what occurs in markets without any investor or consumer protection. Its the “markets” fault for deriving confidence from one person. If Michael Saylor wanted to buy the dip at above market prices, he can. If $49,300 is not a price many people really want to buy a lot of bitcoin at, then so be it.

Idk its easy for me to just laugh and move on. To everyone else, don’t trade on leverage maybe?

Is not the US education system very ideological?

Among the US citizens (mostly LA area) which I know it was not uncommon to hear how they "love America", similarly to how Christian believers "love Jesus".

Moreover from what I understand the local historical textbooks are censoring displeasing moments from the time of oppression of the black community.

I'm far from an anarchist yet I would take my kids out of the system if I found a meaningful alternative which would not cost a fortune.

For what it's worth, I do plan to support code blocks where you can drop in arbitrary code where you need it, and you can integrate it with the rest of the diagram by defining the input and output types itself. The goal isn't to replace textual programming entirely, but to build an integrated environment where you reach for visual constructs first and drop down into text when necessary.

For your file example, you could have a "File Open" block that takes a filename as input and outputs a "File Reference" datatype, and then wire that reference to various file blocks (File Read / File Seek / File Write / etc) to perform operations on the file. When needed you could wire a reference to an arbitrary code block, perform whatever operations you want on the file using textural programming, and then output the reference to continue putting it through other blocks. Objects (as in JSON objects) could be represented in the same way, twisting and turning throughout your program as they are manipulated. Ditto for databases, file storage (like S3 or hard drives), sensors and their values, etc. As for functions, you'd be able to build your own blocks from existing ones, so you could take a textual function and turn it into a visual block that integrates with the rest of your code.

You could group blocks together in the editor so that they are literally next to each other as you said, but one feature I'm particularly excited about that was inspired by SmallTalk is the Block Search: instead of searching by name, you describe the input and output types of the block, and the editor will search through the global database for any kind of block that matches your description. For example, you could describe a block that takes two strings and outputs one, and you could get a block back like "String Append." For our hypothetical file example, you would just search for blocks that take in File References, and you'd be able to find every block that does anything to a file, including your own.

I know it's hard to imagine, which is why I'm working on building a demo ASAP so I can show and not tell. I saw from your bio that you're interested in STEM edutech so if this doesn't scratch your itch it may still be helpful for students to get started with software a la Scratch! Let me know if you're still interested - no worries if not though!

>organizations that insist on compelling others to wear masks outdoors

Which organizations might those be? State and local governments?

At least in the US, there are more than 50 states/territories, hundreds of cities and more than 3,000 counties. Each of which has separate authority for public health issues.

That said, many (perhaps most?) of those entities have been following the CDC guidelines. Those have now changed. As such. it seems likely that many of those 3,000+ entities will change their policy prescriptions.
It is, but with luck version 1.0 will arrive at the end of the year and then there is the whole adoption rate.

Now given that WegGL support is still hit and miss, and the only way to debug is to rely on native GPGPU debuggers, and having the pleasure to differentiate between browser own rendering code and the one from the application, that shows how easy it is to do 3D on the Web.
Lock downs also cause huge misery. Recessions are not victimless.
There are conflicting stories, but I've heard a few different arguments (I'm not sure how accurate any of them are, though):

* The vaccine is stronger than a low-viral-dose infection; you wind up with more antibodies and more T/B cell engagement, so theoretically more robust immunity
* The vaccines might be better or worse than natural infection against the variants; on the one hand your body fought a whole wild virus and so the antibodies aren't restricted to the spike protein, like in the mRNA case, so your body might be less overfit. On the other hand, the vaccines seems to producer a stronger immune response, as stated above, so that might be better if the antibodies still mostly line up?

Honestly, even if I had Covid before, it seems to make sense to get vaccinated anyhow. It's free (man, why aren't all vaccines free?), Your employer is very unlikely to give you a hard time for getting it, or taking some time off for recovering from the common side effects of the second dose - it feels like the potential benefits (stronger immunity) outweigh the very limited risks (basically limited flu symptoms and a possible bruise at the injection site).

As a weird side note, at least among my cohort, the side effects seem to be a really clear marker of who's immune system recognizes the disease. My friends who didn't catch it all reported no problems the first time and symptoms on the second shot. My friends who tested positive reported symptoms from the first shot. I had to start immunosuppression after the first shot, but before the second (TNF Alpha Inhibitor), and the symptoms at the second shot were actually a relief that my immune system hadn't been tamped down too hard...

That's natural gas, not coal.
At least for Falcon 9, this is true even at minimum thrust. They don't have the ability to hover at all. The rocket is so light when empty that the thrust of a single engine at minimum throttle during landing is enough to make it take off again. That's why they do a "hoverslam" or "suicide burn" as you described. I assume they still throttle down as much as they can in the last few moments to minimize the impact of imperfections in the landing.
Pretty sure it was not an isotope producible in an Earth fission reactor. A stable plutonium you could date back to only 10 million years old would be a different animal.

| For that, subscribers get a 3-pound mix of greens and vegetables every week.

$43 a month gets you 12 pounds a month with delivery which comes to $3.58 a pound ($3 without delivery).

Depending on the vegetables that's a great price.

I fell prey to this. Might have been the exact same website, too. Had had a drink with dinner, thought heck why not file for my EIN for an independent consulting LLC I was creating? Was using a fresh OS install where I hadn't yet installed Firefox with an adblocker. Usual defenses were weakened. Boom, $250 down the drain before I really thought it all through. Fortunately I was able to get it refunded by initiating a chargeback and telling their website support that I believed they were misrepresenting themselves as the IRS. It really was a "welcome to the real world" moment, though - my very first act as a new business in the US was to get scammed. This theme has continued. 90% of the business mail I get are scams masquerading as official government mail to get business licenses or whatever. These websites are run by scumbags who should all be arrested. And Google, of course, should pay actual penalties because it's been all upside for them.
Thanks for being upfront about “don’t have any plans for that”, instead of a vague “we’re looking into it” which sounds better but effectively means the same thing.
It would be a problem for me, here in Germany, too. I wouldn't live anywhere where the next supermarket is more than ten minutes away by foot. Usually there are several in that radius. Where I currently live there are two supermarkets within a ten minute walk. I suppose I could make longer distances work if the infrastructure allowed for safe cycling to the supermarket, but I somehow doubt that this is the case in the US.

Because of fungibility.

Bitcoin is not fungible because the full transaction history of every single bitcoin is available publicly. This means you can discriminate against specific coins because they were at some point involved in undesirable activity. Exchanges already reject these tainted coins. Even using a mixing service for privacy's sake is enough to taint them.

On the other hand, we have fungible coins such as Monero. It's impossible to tell where the coins are coming from so there's no way to discriminate based on the source of the coin. Their only option is to stop trading XMR as a whole.

On the Monero blockchain it's not even possible to find people's wallet addresses. Interestingly, on the US treasury sanctions list a transaction hash appears as if it was an address:

If you work for a company that pays you cash money only, you can buy their shares in a brokerage account (taxable or tax-advantaged). If you work for a company that does RSUs, you have to wait for vesting, and it's not consistent money; it's nice when the stock price is going up, and it's not nothing when it's going down like options are, but if it's a publically traded company, why not just pay me the $x/year in dollars and I'll do what I think is right. (Which, for me, isn't going to be holding the stock of my employer directly; I've got enough exposure to them through my paycheck and index funds, thanks.)
That makes sense. I too waited some extra time for supply to be available in my own area, rather than traveling and taking from others' allocations.

But I'm surprised that the "you can go maskless if you get the vaccine" is a deciding factor for anyone. Wearing a dust mask is so trivial compared to all the other changes and efforts I've made this year.
