That first one is just satellites, though. If you use apps and/or sites like Heavens Above you can see exactly this fairly often.

I've sometimes seen several at a time at night when walking the dogs. When I get home I look them up to identify what they were. Depending on where the sun is below the horizon and how clear the sky is, some nights it's almost impossible to not casually spot at least one, and other nights there are so many it's quite surprising.

ISS always really stands out because it is relatively close and is much larger than other satellites.

When you see more than one travelling in the same direction, they're nearly always a "train" which is basically what you get when they release a bunch of new satellites but they aren't in position yet. And if you're lucky, you can catch various units "chasing" the ISS with supplies.

That doesn't explain the other two links, though. They are more connected to what people wanted from the report.

> why aren't certificates the default way to sign up for sites for end users?

Some reasons:

Initially this doesn't make any sense. Tim's toy hypermedia system (the Web) does not have any of the properties you expect today, it doesn't achieve Confidentiality, nor Integrity, nor Authentication. So it's like you live in a village where they don't have doors yet and you're wondering why there's no locksmith.

Once it did exist the UX for client TLS certificates in browsers is very bad. But of course we could in principle improve that UX.

However an underlying reason is that this approach has lousy privacy properties. Certificates tie an identity to the key, and the Certificate Authority - whoever that would be in this setup - needs to be able to verify those identities or else you aren't Certifying anything. So now maybe you're giving Facebook an X.509 certificate with your full legal name, place of birth, and so on. Most people are not comfortable with that. Even those people who are cool with giving Facebook their real personal details may not be keen to share them also with Google, Twitter, Porn Hub and their favourite web comic.

This is why FIDO tokens used for WebAuthn give a completely fresh random ID and key for each enrollment. Who am I? I'm definitely the exact same person I was when I enrolled here, and more than that I shouldn't need to prove. You can't tie these identifiers and keys to other accounts on other services or even to other accounts on the same service.

The disputes China is having with its neighbors are different. China's official position is that a large part of the South China Sea is their territory, a view that isn't exactly shared by the other nations of the region or most of the international community.

Sending the Chinese Navy into territorial waters off of South America to secure theft of Argentinian natural resources would be a completely different move, and arguably an act of war.

You want to use metrics as a very broad breadth first search to help cull the search space and use trust systems as a depth first search. But once you have found signal through trust, you should completely ignore that first search and even look more into things that you had previously excluded.

Find researchers that you agree with, find the papers that they recommend, read those papers and check that you agree with them. If they recommend something from a no-name university, look at those first.

Unfortunately if this is not your field and you aren't able to determine quality, this becomes impossible. If it's important to you, you need to learn it. This is why I don't like non-technical managers. If the people who approve the grants do not understand the result, this is inevitable. It might work early on when trust still lingers, but as metrics take over the social systems always fall apart.
The surprising benefits of a strange theory
I know something worse: websites that force you to use their app, providing links that don’t actually take you to that content in the app. Two examples with the same experience: Instagram and Reddit. They block functionality on the mobile web pages in Safari, pop up large buttons to get you to use the app, then those buttons take you to the iOS App Store page even though I already have each installed, then clicking “open” there just opens each app to the default home page, NOT the content I was trying to access but was subsequently blocked from accessing.

Result: I decide that I don’t care about that content anyway and just go do something else. Trying to log in via mobile site, forgetting my password, going through the reset flow, logging in again because my pw reset session happened in GMail’s safari context session and didn’t save cookies to main safari, all while being hounded constantly that “it’s better in the APP!”…just keep it.

Pinterest is uniquely bad because the thing you see the photo of doesn’t actually take you to the place where that came from. Add in all the ads, the page wasting tons of space with spacing / white space / low density, the placement on Google for so many thing, and I cringe whenever I see a Pinterest result. Quora isn’t much better.

Amazon and eBay at least take you to the right place with their “open in app” bars at the top of the page. Not an iOS dev but I’m assuming they’re using some special Safari APIs to do that instead of useless generic App Store links that don’t pass through context.

I really wish Google / Apple would punish sites for doing this, since it leads to such a bad UX. Please think about that, marketing and product people: I literally already have your apps, but you’ve made the mobile web page so annoying in trying to get me to use the app, that any interesting content I do find via SERP I discard instantly as inaccessible due to the hassle of trying to search for that same content through your apps, because you’ve intentionally broken the mobile web experience.
Very likely they will move to Monero and back with any such payment. Monero should have been a stablecoin, would have done a lot better for this type of semi-sinister use case.
What I've learned from this thread is that programmers doing zoom interviews have all developed their own personal conflicts with interacting with video conf software and you will be punished if you do not know their weird pet peeves and fractious reactions ahead of time.

On the other hand it's interesting to think about how you can game the system to get an advantage, like one user who said they bought/used fancy lighting and a dslr to have an edge.

I can tell you about one thing that I didn't find mentioned. Argentina's Naval Prefecture is using a product called Galatea Watcher from Ascentio Technologies (they are the main contractor for Argentina's Space Agency and have developed the ground segment and done operations for them). This product does pretty much the same as in the article: it takes satellite imagery from several sources, does image processing and detection on them and cross-references it with AIS reports from vessels and alerts all the suspicious activity. One could see all the ships getting positioned just in the international border and then disappear by night. This is a well known issue.

Disclaimer: I used to work for Ascentio.

You are getting caught up in what mathematics does say: and you are right about that.

The trap is the "business." If I love an activity and I love performing JUST that activity, as long as that's all I'm doing I'm happy.

You want to be treated specially and shown that I want nothing in life except the job you are offering. I want to be certain my children have food on the table when my savings run out next week. Do you see the difference?

I understand your point that someone acting like they need to bounce from the call can be irritating to deal with, but it is a reality that several candidates might have a whole lot of interviews lined up as closely as possible to maximize their chances of actually landing a job. Add to that the increased commitments of a household, and I don't think it is unrealistic to expect a little empathy from the person on the other side of the call.

It is fair advice to say the candidate should try to remain calm and "not create the perception that you have something better to do" as you initially suggested. It is not fair advice to ask them to free up their entire day and not have any commitments other than a single interview.
That's neat! I like the workbook style for stashing snippets and re-running them, or even for documenting something and sharing it with someone else.

Is there a way to persist my session? In a tool I wrote a while ago I added a really lightweight gist integration - you could connect to github, then hit save in the app and it'd do a client-side save to GitHub and update your URL to match the gist ID.

Then, on returning to the page, if there was a gist ID in the URL, it'd fetch it from github.

> What do you mean by looping itself?

I mean that that ECS is not merely looping over an array like GP claimed. In production ECS, Systems normally act on more than one kind of Component, so "iterating over the array" of components is not feasible. Iterating over entities kinda kill the performance and data locality too, so you need something smart closer to "materialised SQL views" to get performance.

> How is having a struct dissimilar to having an object iterated, especially with C++ essentially having barely any difference between a struct and a class?

I never said it was. I just said that merely using a "class" doesn't make something an OOP pattern, especially if the implementor has no choice over which programming feature to use.

Imagine that you are doing this at web scale. Instead of one web server you have 2000, and another 1000 middleware servers all talking to a distributed database cluster with another 500 machines. You can probably run your web servers close to stateless sharing sessions across redis. And your middleware worker machines can all run pub/sub so as a web dev you won't have this problem much. But the developers of your distributed key/value store, your distributed pub/sub queueing system and your database are going to be very different animals. Take a look at the last 10 years of Kyle Kingsbury's work with Jepsen and you'll see what I mean (https://aphyr.com/tags/jepsen). Opportunities for corruption, unavailability and lossage abound with distributed systems.
It's also important for slay the spire fanatics to understand the underlying game mechanics.

- The first three fights of act 1 come from an "easier" fight pool. There's a similar mechanic for acts 2 and 3.

- The odds of finding a potion in a hallway fight start at 40%. If you get a potion, the odds go down -10%. Otherwise they go up 10%. After each boss fight, the odds reset to 40%.

- The odds of getting a rare card from a combat card reward start at -2% (per card) and increase 1% every time a common card is offered.

- You are not offered upgraded cards in act 1. At high ascension, this increases to 12.5% in act 2 and 25% in act 3.

Can't the fatal flaw always be duct-taped over? ;)

The problem I often have is not with stuff that clearly just does not work. The problem is the stuff that "sorta maybe works" and then keeps working until it doesn't. You can't really prove it won't work, because hey, it does work. There's always some convoluted way of getting it to keep working.

It's really tough to make the argument that further down the road when the software grows, the scale grows, or the requirements change, the proposed solution won't be easy to adapt or won't be as robust/reliable. This is the really important stuff. I would say that investing in things that just never work at all and can't be made to work is more rare, probably still happens, but more rare.
Nice. That’s great trick
Less tangible value than mathematics? The last few decades have been a golden age of linear and constraint programming research. The impact they've had on logistics alone is incalculable - it's changed how everyone does business from Ford and Fedex down to Uber drivers.

You didnt mention the role of capital, which is stored savings. Dig in to the role and benefits of stored monetary reserves, how bitcoin does this and cant be inflated, and you might get pissed off when you realize savers have a great escape mechanism from the huge government bailouts of failing industries (airlines, cruise ship lines).

If you can get out of debt, you may see the benefit of bitcoin as a store of value. If you are in debt slavery, you of course want easy money to make your debts easier to pay.
