Other relevant context:

- evolutionary design approaches already result in aircraft ~1% more efficient every year, with much of the R&D offloaded to the engine OEMs

- clean sheet designs have to save enough in fuel vs evolutionary ones to offset the additional operational costs of operating a brand new aircraft type as opposed to a variant model. Airlines like having lots of the same kind of aircraft (and nobody has the production capacity to replace an entire fleet at once)

- clean sheet designs are much more likely to have significant delays, groundings and safety concerns. For an airline, this diminishes the value of the planned-to-be-more-efficient aircraft. For the OEM, it's a massive reputational risk, and if you screw up the clean sheet design badly enough your competitor captures the entire narrowbody market. Boeing lost enormous market share for a patchable software bug in a direct descendent of the most successful aircraft ever; now imagine a "clean slate" which doesn't deliver on its fuel economy promises and has unforeseen issues with the long term structural stability of its wings vs Airbus cheaply updating its established design

- if the project is wildly successful, it's not all good news: you've wrecked the expected commercial lifespan and residual values of existing aircraft models, which doesn't please your customers or your aircraft leasing subsidiary. Also, your competitor learns from your successes and your failures when launching their "clean sheet" aircraft which has lower research costs, a shorter time to market and is more mature when it does launch
For starters, the recommended way for really understanding how to setup any package or option is to read the source in nixpkgs. Depends what you mean by "Nix internals" but for me that qualifies.
One of our requirements is to disable schema downloading in production in apollo server. (We can have it enabled in dev/local). Can this work if that is disabled? (Yes we know this is silly but our auditor caught it)
>maybe ebook pricing will come down to something rational.

Why don't you think it's rational? Note that the cost to print and distribute a printed book is only about $2 of its cost. Or don't you think authors, editors, etc. should be able to earn money?

M-spc just inserted a space for me. Do I need some package for it to work? What does your sequence of commands mean in English?

I have no doubt that what I've shows can be done in Emacs. How natural is it to express? How much scripting and packaging does it require? How much extra memorizing does it require?

> What I think is the mistake is that vim/kak are all just interfaces, while Emacs is software

Yes, I am talking about interfaces, not software. I was talking about the interface that Emacs offers by default. Of course, you can script anything in it, but it's a meaningless argument; Linux kernel allows you to implement any program you want, but it doesn't make Linux a good text editor.

And in particular, I was talking about interfaces that are efficient, take little time to setup and save you a lot of time when you use them. My claim is that Emacs is not one of them. (Which doesn't make Emacs bad in the ultimate sense. It can be good for other things.)

> Multiple cursors are just visualized macros, after all.

Yes and no. Any text editing operation can expressed in ex commands, but it doesn't make ex a good editor, and definitely doesn't make it an efficient one.

Multiple cursors give instant feedback, this is a big advantage over blindly shooting macros at your text.
Well, survivorship bias. Nobody is talking about their 80's computers that died by the 90's. And nobody can yet talk about tech from the 2010s that has lasted 40 years.

That said, yes older storage methods may have better longevity. Compare an SSD to game console ROM cartridges that last virtually forever. What fails in both older and modern storage hardware isn't really the per-bit magnetic storage, it's the environment necessary to access them, the power supply and spinning motor and moving head in a hard drive.
I would assume so, but as said, I have vertical tabs so I'm not really using it myself. If it doesn't now then it at least seems obvious it can in the future.

Certainly neither technique for covering an image that I showed in another comment is a hack. They’re both logical, coherent and fairly obvious ways of doing it. Getting hover effects to render on top, well, I wouldn’t consider that a hack either, though it’s a little more subjective (“why does position:relative make it work?”). I say that of course those effects aren’t going to render on top by default, because rendering is done in order unless you fiddle with layers and z-indexes, so shunting the hovered element onto a new layer or increasing its z-index above its surrounds is the obvious thing and the only way it could work.

I know many things that are hacks and that I will acknowledge are hacks, but these two aren’t hacks at all. They’re straightforward and natural CSS, working in exactly the way it was designed (and in areas where that design is completely sensible).
I never knew what the bloom was, but I blindly followed directions from smart people on using the french press. Pour the 90C water into the pot, wait a minute, then stir the beans down into the water. Wait a few minutes more. I usually do 1min+4min.
Right, so the interesting question to ask here is, around the biology of alcohol tolerance. How much alcohol does someone have to consume tolerance level X, and in turn how much more alcohol does someone at tolerance level X need to consume to reach the same level of inebriation as before?
You never hear much about OpenSuse or Suse, but whenever you do, users seem very happy with it. Is it just a perspective thing, or is there another reason why it isn't huge like Ubuntu or Fedora?
Honestly - how painful was it to learn and get working? And what limitations/niggles are left when using as a workstation?

I love the principles behind Nix, and I like to use it to provide development environments (through nix-shell locally and then using the same setup in CI). But some things can be moderately painful to get going.
Sybil attack has nothing to do with stealing keys. It's just sending guesses into the network as fast as you can, to maximize chance of your guess ending up as winner.
Some additional feedback:

* I don't get workspaces. I assume they are for projects but currently there is only one workspace available so maybe a small explanation is in order.

- If I create a new page and hit the top-right Save button on the first guide page, it publishes the page with a public URL. I was expecting the app to save the current setup for further work.

- I'm not a fan of the two-column design for the dashboard as it implies there is a direct relationship between the columns, which isn't true (I'm probably thinking of a three-pane UI in Outlook where the second pane is a list of emails and the third is the contents of a specific email). I don't really see a reason for having two columns as the main layout for the dashboard.

+- I REALLY like that you can customize the sharable page URL when setting up a new page. However, the app allowed me to enter a custom slug without being on a plan (step 4), which got silently ignored and a randomly generated slug was displayed. BUT I was still able to go back and enter a custom slug in the page settings (step 4) and have it actually work as an public URL.

- Some of the pop-up windows have "Close modal" as the close button text.

- Almost every page - when in list view - has two buttons that do the exact same thing only the buttons have different designs and positions. Example: on Manage Pages (/[uid]/page), there is a purple "Create page (resume)" button at the top right corner AND a gray "+ Create a new Page" above the list of pages.

- On Manage Pages (/[uid]/page), Create a new Page gives the impression of being disabled as the text is gray set against a gray background. The same design issue occurs on other admin pages.

- I was able to set up a domain with an empty name field on https://admin.burner.page/[uid]/domain/create. I think it broke stuff because now I have one "unnamed" domain on /domain page.

- The CSS file for my test page is a whopping 500 KB.

+ I like that you can easily add a background image using Unsplash...

- ...but the Unsplash image version chosen is the biggest one, resulting in a image file that's 3.38 MB @ 6000x4000px.

- On Manage Upload, when in List view, images cannot be deleted from the drop down menu (the option is disabled).
Yes, that’s a good idea. I will ship that out tomorrow.
As one example, IIRC, I can run "npm install -g" on other Linux distributions, but can't with Nixpkgs (since npm will try to install the package to the nix store). Yarn would install it to the home folder.

This. I use an AeroPress. The most expensive cup of coffee in the world is made with an AeroPress. You just need the unit and hot water to make an unbelievable cup of coffee. It costs $29 and a travel version even includes a cup, scoop and Stir for your $30. You absolutely do not need to spend a fortune to get amazing coffee.
I don’t think I have any hobby that I enjoy that doesn’t also carry with it a healthy measure of embarrassment about liking it so much, so it would not offend me if others told me how much less they care about it. That’s the nature of hobbies. I like coffee, but I do not share the perspective that I have to relentlessly pursue a perfect cup. I believe that those who seem unfulfilled with their current batch are seeking diminishing returns on enjoyment — as if they will be eternally unhappy, worried that there might be a better version of their drink out there, still undiscovered. My comment was not to diminish the relevance of having a hobby but rather referencing the unhealthy mindset of those who become addicted to the pursuit of something I think one might never feel can be reached.

Sorry, but the future of computing is secure attestation of everything the CPU runs -- from the boot firmware to end-user applications. In the open source world we have two options -- we can either get on board with this or we can fight it and lose.
I don't think the US is willing to risk the disruption to the military pipeline if they were to fail. You would literally have to have a "planned breakup" that would likely take a decade to dismantle. Bankruptcy isn't an option.

Could it EVENTUALLY be replaced by other companies? Sure. Would the US military be OK having their logistics on weapons disabled for 12+ months? Seems unlikely.

> I don’t dislike fashion because I’m a humble bragging genius. I dislike it because I think it’s bad for the world.

We could play that game for days, about most industries that feature prominently on HN. This looks like just the sort of narrow focus the original poster was talking about. Why are fashion products worse than new smartphones coming out every year? Because we personally like gadgets more? And if we were talking about a used tech toy marketplace, comments about how new manufacturing was bad would be similarly out of left field, since here's an example of reuse.
What is the "fake" rate for twitter normally? I don't know whether the fact that half in one area are fake means anything. If someone tole me that 90+% of all twitter traffic came from bots or other "fake" sources I would believe it.

>> "We found that 47% of local trends in Turkey and 20% of global trends are fake, created from scratch by bots.

How am I meant to read that? By 'trend' do they mean trending posts? Does 'fake' mean created from scratch by bots? Are these AI bots generating their own content? If a russian operative is feeding stories to a bot, does that material qualify as fake? What if a bot picks up a non-fake but incorrect story and spreads it to a billion people? Is is fakery if a Microsoft bot finds and retweets a customer review of Windows 10? What about fake stories that are promoted by real people?

Past thoughts or beliefs shouldn’t be used to get people fired if they are not also current thoughts or beliefs.

There are a ton of scams on Amazon. Fake products. Products which never ship. Sellers who exploit Amazon policy loopholes. Etc.

In this case, the scam was convoluted enough that I won't get into it, but no, I didn't pay hundreds of dollars in shipping fees.

On the other hand, I'm sitting at home without having ever received the product I ordered.

Why domestic? The US isn't lacking in international adversaries that would be interested in the ability to execute low cost attacks against critical infrastructure.

If it was domestic terrorists it seems likely they would have seized the opportunity to do damage immediately instead of showing their hand like this. An "advanced persistent threat" (such as a foreign country) to borrow from the computer security world seems more likely to take this sort of "test but don't actually damage anything" approach.
This is so hard to quantify...what constitutes trauma? I feel like the premise is ill defined.

I can vouch for Leap being a great CentOS replacement. I switched to Suse around when Fedora 34 came out and I have turned into a huge fan. Converted my homelab to be completely Suse based and I have zero regrets.
Thanks for the q (I work at Deepnote) - all outputs that can contain potentially malicious JS are sandboxed in iframes so they can only access their local context and can't be used e.g. for XSS attacks.

Lots of bad recommendation systems out there, to be sure, but Netflix's strikes me as one of the better (best?) implementations. If I search for a particular title, it's usually at the top (or close to, with fuzzier search terms), whereas when they don't have what I'm looking for (happens a lot, their library is pretty small where I live) their recommendations are at least pretty similar to what I'm looking for. Compared to comparable solutions with dumb search, it's a much better experience.

But I agree insofar as botched recommenders that you can't circumvent easily are the absolute worst UX.
Yeah, right. My father was born in Jerusalem, in a Christan orphanage in the poor, mostly Muslim area. His godmother told us what was happening there around 2010.

The thing is, people on the left emphasize more with being expropriated for no good reasons, having strikes broken by threatening families and generally being treated as 3rd class citizens, than being threatened with missiles. At least I do. I understand that both sides are shit, but I will still boycott Israel products, as i boycott China's.
I have always been trying to make an Elixir version of a screeps-like game. Every unit is just an actor, sending messages to other units, based on the GenServer behavior. You can upload a new version of the unit controller with Beam hot code reload.
Whales were going to go extinct so I don’t think there was much choice. Also it had just one main use at the time for oil lamps. That can certainly be disrupted. But if it was a plentiful source it may have been possible to figure out how to use it more broadly.

I agree that history is not destiny. But in this case only if we first understand history.
I may be mistaken, but I think the argument being made is more like, "no one commits crimes, or any acts really, without a motive." These people, at least their leadership, have significant motive to not commit an act like this.

My money would be on terrorists as well, but that's why we have investigations. Let's see where the satellite photos take us.

They aren't going to do fair enforcement - like all code of conducts, they are only going to mine your accounts for ammunition if you show up on their radar.

It's for selective enforcement. If you don't sign their petition/join their party/support their protests, then they will look at your social media posts.

This is why CoC are written; I've yet to find an example of an in-group person being subjected to the code of CoC. The targets are always people with different politics.
The documentation and the nix language are the worst things about the project IMO. I really hope Guix succeeds because Scheme is, in my opinion, a better DSL and language than this weird, not very well documented, Haskell-like derivative.

Unless you've drank the kool-aid, you have to learn a completely new operating system and way of doing things, a weird language that's lacking on documentation, and a ton of system or package-specific options that are even less documented, and requires you to spend too much time reading the source to understand what's going on and how to achieve something a little off the beaten path.

Feels a bit cultish IMO, and that only the illuminated ones are able to grok it. That it's my fault I'm not prepared to do the work and see for myself why NixOS is better than any other distro.
That's the one detail of the story that leads me to believe it may have been some rich idiot that didn't know the legality of what they were doing.

That's when you know we are on a US centric side, for nowhere in Europe this would be an issue (more likely that you read news articles instead of working :-) ). Plenty of schools with nude statues or paintings, certainly in art and history classes; biology books will also show naked people - when I was in school even both adults and children with visible genitals, which I guess would give you a 'possession of pornographic images of a minor' charge in the US.
Why in JavaScript doesn't Map have anything like .map, .reduce, etc.?
Just wondering if anyone has any insight (links?) or was involved in any of the discussions around Map() in JS.

> So if I understand correctly, I could declaratively specify my workstation, say I want vim, podman, codium, kubectl, curl, tmux, firefox, zettlr. I could put this in a configuration and have my workstation anywhere I can grab that from?

Yes, and you can specify your .vimrc, your vim plugins, the users you want setup, their SSH keys, your systemd config, etc.

> Is there some way I can boot-to-git-configuration?

Bootstrapping a system is the one place where you still need to do a bit of work, but it's not bad.

I personally have a script in my Nix config repo which pulls my config down to disk, sets up symlinks, and then switches to the new config. From there everything then goes through standard Nix tooling.

Not sure if you grew up in the US, but a lot of people in the US make a conscious decision it's not worth it to work hard earlier in life to have a better outcome later in life.

I grew up in Massachusetts, one of the most educated states, but I grew up around a lot of the kids in my town and surrounding towns who were "on the wrong side of the tracks" and I had many conversations with peers around middle school where they clearly indicated they had already decided it was not going to be worth it to work hard in high school and that there was little point in going to college. All of that was too much hard work and there was little point of it for them, their perception was that it was just too much easier to just go towards menial and low paying jobs just because it was easier today. Working hard in high school would just be too much of a detriment to enjoying a carefree teenage experience.

Now is that the fault of early education and/or parents for not making them understand the value of work today for a better outcome down the road? Who knows. But this is a prevalent mindset for a lot of people who grow up in the US.

This was such a pervasive thing my parents had to intervene and send me to a Catholic school. That mindset was completely absent at that school and it snapped me out of things just about instantaneously because the mindset there was 100% that hard work now is worth it.

To put it in context of the article a lot of that carefree teenage experience would have been going to parties and getting drunk.
Befuddle the public with scary sounding words?

Hypothetically it might act as a more subtle form of sabotage, the goal being to bring down a plane in the air. It might also be harder to cleanup/patch than a bullet hole if detected. I don't think it's a serious threat though and is really acting as a stand in for "fancy forms of sabotage".
Would it be possible to have a gas-powered drone that has some amount of time it can run on batteries? I'm thinking similar to the old diesel submarines that would go on battery when they wanted to be stealthy.
