So it was snowing large panels of ice or snow for days, on clear sky days (said by Fravor), large enough to pop on radars and sensors of both ships and jets?

Because that was the context of the event: they didn't happen to come across it.

It was being recorded in radars for days, and the squadron were asked to check it, by a radar operator, because they were doing an exercise near by.

Oh, and remember: one of the jets remained above while the other dove. 2 different types of observations - he was on the plane that dove down, she remained up above.

That's what makes the event bizarre: it wasn't a single random phenomena, it was happening for days and then observed by 4 witnesses at different angles/altitudes.

It would be easier to wrap this up into a lie, hoax, propaganda to get funding, then to recurring meteorological rare phenomena never observed by radars or pilots.
It's unlikely there were enough records to connect the remains with their families. It's also unlikely there will be the big budget required for a TV-style investigation using "zoom! enhance!" technology projected in big screens in glass-walled offices.

The most likely outcome is the remains will be respectfully transferred to local band councils who will perform the appropriate rituals and lay them to their final resting place, and that's it.
It's not just American. It's very similar at least in Belgium and I suppose on other western countries too
As someone who has lost a close friend 15 years ago and a father 5 years ago, both way prematurely, I can confidently agree: you don't get over it. Instead, you learn to live with it. Their absence becomes a part of your life. The pain and sense of loss never goes away, but it becomes bearable as you gradually accept the reality.

As for how to deal with it, that is different for every person. Some people prefer to dive deep into their work to take their mind off things. When my father died, it was the other way round for me: I felt I needed time and space to deal with the consequences, both practically and emotionally. Work felt like a distraction that I really couldn't use at the time, so I more or less stopped working for several months. Clearing out my father's possessions, selling his apartment and dealing with the inheritance was part of the grieving process. By the time all that was done we were nearly half a year further along, and I felt ready to start picking up my life again.

Even so, many years later I'll still get tears welling up whenever I think back on that period, and I'll never not wish that my father was still here and that I could have shared with him everything that has happened in the meantime.

how is twitter "introducing engagement-generating garbage" into feeds? (well, there are ads, but I use an adblocker)
I understand the linearity of the Shrodinger equation under a model which MW entails. However, you are sidestepping the randomness involved in the choice of world that you reside in. You can dress it up all you want, but your consciousness is bound to one world of the many worlds. And that is a defacto random phenomena.
This propensity for gaming everything is a very good and useful capability, when applied to the environment - to nature, to physics, to our own bodies. Roads and cars and boats exist because we've gamed our stamina. Planes and rockets exist because we've gamed gravity. Farming and drugs and vaccines exist because we've gamed microbiology.

The problem starts when people are trying to game each other. This is bad, because it turns what should be a PvE game into a PvP one. With the shitty cards nature/evolution gave us, we have plenty of external challenges left to overcome; it's really sad to see and deal with people who instead want to abuse others to get ahead.

>The --multiline option means the search spans multiple lines - I only want to match entire files that begin with my search term, so this means that ^ will match the start of the file, not the start of individual lines.

That's not correct because the `m` flag gets enabled by the multiline option.

$ printf 'a\nbaz\nabc\n' | rg -U '^b'
baz

Need to use `\A` to match start of file or disable `m` flag using `(?-m)`, but seems like there's some sort of bug though (will file an issue soon):

$ printf 'a\nbaz\nabc\n' | rg -U '\Ab'

> Who says I want 'discoverability'

I never said you wanted anything. I'm the one who wants to have 'discoverability', both for my projects and other projects that might interest me. It's you, for some unknown reason, that don't want me or anyone to have it!

> Not everyone wants to have to share everything that is useless with the world especially if it's only going to be you.

Then don't. But don't demand that of others.

> I also don't want people to have to bug me for feature requests as well on top of that.

That's perfectly acceptable, and I never implied it wasn't.

> you shouldn't be whining if your 'useless' hobby repository suddenly becomes the focus of attention of developers requesting more features

That seems to be your problem, and you're the only one in this discussion complaining about it. Looks like you're projecting your issues onto me.

This is a feature - the point is that if you were able to fully customize the recommendation algorithm you'll end up opting out of all the bullshit the platform wants you to "engage" with.
For those that don't know, Auto Layout is just the cassowary linear constraint solving algorithm implemented in a nice UI library.

There are a number of projects that already kind of do this (GSS being one of them, as someone else already mentioned) but with Houdini on the way this might become a very real contender in the near future.

I've already done some work with it - you can see a POC here: https://github.com/qix-/casscade

One large problem (with GSS at least) was that it's difficult to "back-propagate" child layout values into parent containers. For example, if an element has a flexible width, then calculating what its width should be based on its textual content is very, very difficult with Cassowary - especially when that value should be used to influence its parent node's size.
Spark however enables full access to all your email to their servers to enable stuff like notifications. They do not note that when setting it up. Essentially, they store your login credentials on a remote server, somewhere, under their control. Check the terms of service. I’ve had a chat with their DPO about that.

I noticed, they use a hub motor on a swingarm.

All hub motored bikes I rode have a very, very strong squat because of hub motor's huge torque.

Twitter's default view is an algorithmic timeline which in addition to being ordered randomly (you can't easily tell whether you've reached the end, thus spend more time on it and more opportunities to see ads - I believe this was the original reason why all social platforms switched to this model), it will also include tweets from people you don't follow.

You can opt-out and go back to the chronological feed (not sure if that also includes tweets from people you don't follow) but the setting "accidentally" resets every so often.

"Engagement" also goes beyond ads that you see. If you "engage", despite not seeing ads yourself, you're still contributing to their DAU/MAU metrics and creating content that others might engage with and they might see ads.
I'm not qualified to assess one of those claims.

The claim that lab-grown would necessarily have certain "fingerprints" was nonsense. We can create viruses just like the ones in nature. When those claims started coming out, I knew folks were lying. That made it much harder to trust anything else they said.

Absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence, so in your words, I left this set to undef.

My concern throughout this whole thing was how often folks in positions of power lied. My conclusion was that government officials lying should be a criminal offense, and academics doing so, a civil one.

We need honest information.
Surface Laptop 4 vs. MacBook Pro M1: A close contrast
It is a bit tiring to explain the process to everyone, but here it goes:

Companies don't select programmers based on leetcode performance, no, they care a great deal about those 10,000 hours people spent. However if you fail that leetcode test you are out no matter what other experience you have. And it so happens that the set of companies paying twice the average for any experience levels tend to do leetcoding, so no matter what level of experience you have leetcoding is great. Although sometimes your experience might impress low tier companies but not high tier ones, so they downlevel you and ultimately your total compensation didn't move much.

If you haven't seen this process then you are either ignorant, don't live in an area with high tier companies, or don't have a lot of experience. Personally I did double my income by going through this process and I've seen many others do as well.

Now, lots of low tier companies started seeing high tier companies do this process, so they started copying it for some reason. But it doesn't work if you don't combine it with also paying significantly more than most others.
HN definitely has a topic, it's "things that hackers find interesting". Mainstream political news is usually off topic unless it's incredibly important. And you definitely can't post about that pizza you had for lunch, unless it's a rundown of how you built an arduino-controlled pizza oven.

Twitter has no topic at all. The interesting is jumbled with the inane, so the signal to noise ratio is very poor.

That's a good question. There are some Halbach array tricks that you could probably pull where based on displacement the central mass generates a current that then moves the COG back to where it should be to rebalance. The losses probably will cause it to fall over after a while so that would be more of a stay of execution than a complete solution. The lower resistance of the coils the longer it would stay up. And adding a small active component to overcome the losses and it would stay up until the power ran out, but that would violate your 'passive' requirement.

I believe that by "the sound of those big bikes" the commenter does not know the bike characteristics other than by their sound, so it's the same either with a physically small or big bike: what he is stating is that he does not like the big sound.

That's true that there are big as well as small bikes with an horrendous sound, they are equally harmful.

I agree that they should very quickly belong to history (or museums). I wish that this new Yamaha concept will accelerate bikes electrification.
Here's a coreutils (two-liner) version:

printf '\xEF\xBB\xBF' >bom.dat
find . -name '*.csv' \
-exec sh -c 'head --bytes 3 {} | cmp --quiet - bom.dat' \; \
-print

The -exec option for find can be used as a filter (though -exec disables the default action, -print, so it must be reenabled after).

Could be made into a oneliner by replacing the 'bom.dat' argument to cmp with '<(printf ...)'.
No one is upset.

Being able to know when the article looks like it is relevant to me, but is only specific to someone from X country would be useful IMO.

Some of them have a sound so that pedestrians can hear them coming. It isn't ridiculously loud - and if you wanted to silence it, you could easily make some modifications. I doubt silencing an EV would be legal though.

I see people complain about this a lot, but I've not experienced this. Is it a mobile thing? On my computer I got put into the algorithmic feed once, when they launched it I guess, then I changed it to "latest" and it's still like that today.
Any reasonable definition of "observing" presupposes a conscious observer and it is possible for you to observe yourself being conscious (I assume).
Indeed, consciousness is observable in a much more direct sense than gravity.

And thus solipsism rears it's slightly unsightly head once again.

Solipsism has always had the virtue of being coherent - unlike many other theories in this area. I think pan-psychism also has this quality.

The issue is they are both lead you to some bizarre conclusions. In some ways it's an analogue to the role Many Worlds plays in the philosophy of Quantum Theory. "cheap on assumptions, expensive on universes"...

I do lean towards some form of pan-psychism. Or at least I'm not sure you can get to "I" from a strictly materialist starting point.

However I think it's also likely that we're missing a fundemental part of the problem and these conversations will one day look like the babblings of children.

To be fair, "we don't need more cloud computing" doesn't mean, "we don't need any cloud computing".

I don't agree that we don't need more of cloud, IMO we do, but we need to focus on personal computing much more than now, which is the general theme of the GP comment.

Not everything is big data.
That's not necessarily the hard part. I mean, it's hard, but it's not the hard part.

We know this because what this game is trying to do is done already a long time ago. It's a description of the original vision for Second Life. In fact Second Life was explicitly an attempt to create "the metaverse", with all user-generated content. Linden Labs used to write about the challenges they faced in making that vision real so we have a good idea of where the challenges really lie, or at least did 10-15 years ago.

First problem: physics. LL sharded their world, which was indeed infinite. The problem is each shard required its own dedicated high end server, which made "land" extremely expensive. Amazingly, people bought it anyway, LL developed a small but extremely rich customer base who were willing to literally rent high end (what would be today) cloud VMs just to have a very small space to call their own online. For a brief period it was also trendy for companies to open up spaces in Second Life.

The reason land was so expensive was that physics (collision detection and movement, mostly) required the server to constantly iterate every object within the zone and the calculations scaled with number of objects. Shutting down physics when nobody was there also wasn't possible because the metaverse concept implied allowing arbitrary scripting, and scripts frequently expected the world to keep running even if nobody was there. The answer in SL to "if a tree falls and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound" was a resounding yes.

The second big problem they faced was that user generated 3D content was extremely un-optimized. The biggest complaint users had about SL was always performance. Eventually they gave up promising to improve it and came clean with the userbase: SL was slow and always would be because users kept making slow content. In particular SL was set mostly outdoors, and even when indoors, people loved doing things like creating semi-transparent windows. The ability for any object to change at any moment (users created content in-game) also implied they couldn't use all the "baking" techniques professional games use to optimize rendering. So the rendering algorithms had to be very primitive, and there was lots of overdraw, so SL really chugged even when drawing scenes that looked very basic compared to what high end games could do. And of course hobbyist metaverse users are not pro grade 3D artists so they tended to make a lot of ugly stuff anyway.

So syncing player data was certainly a sub-challenge, but compared to the difficulties posed by cost effective sharded physics and totally un-optimizable 3D scenes, it wasn't that big a deal.
I agree "consciousness" is a hodgepotch of different things, some of which are easier to fit into a materialist world view than others.

But that doesn't detract from my belief that there's an irreducible nub that remains once you've removed all the easy bits. That nub is what I regard as the "hard problem"

> I don’t like that Roe v. Wade was decided for the US by nine dipshits

It wasn't, not really. And this is exactly my point:

Most countries have successfully legislated abortion law. The USA's federal legislature failed to do so directly and left it to their supreme court to decide something from their ambiguity: as is their job.

This decision can still today be written clearly into law, in either direction, by representatives. So, it's an ongoing failure of the legislature.

Spraying is easy Yes, but getting the distillate to do it with is more complicated. You need to basically do the same process by either emulating it by infusing alcohol, or buy distillate outright which is much harder to find. My guess is a lot of these fake eibles actually exist in legal states, where distillate can be found easily. These fake products rely on the consumer being unaware of the fakeness, overstating the dosage (300mg) and under dosing the actual edibles by diluting the distillate spray to reduce costs.

Why would you even want to use it? Seriously, the only time people are using it is when they are looking for a new job, and this is usually a relatively a short time.

European constitutions have a lot of bad stuff in them that's not thought out at all, especially around human rights. The US constitution limits itself to a very small number of matters that are (relatively) well defined, exactly to stop this kind of law making by judges. If it allows court rulings like this one then, the German constitution is not as well thought out, for the reasons well outlined above.
