New Horizons took a nearly straight shot to Pluto (just stopping by Jupiter on the way for a gravity assist). That trip took 9 years to travel 40 AU (not at constant speed, of courses, since it's constantly being drawn toward the Sun). This dwarf planet makes its closest approach at 10 AU, so you could do a fly by in less than 3 years if you wanted to pay for it. However, the science return from a flyby would be limited compared to falling into orbit around it.

Rosetta took 10 years to match pace with and orbit a comet (which had a closest approach to the Sun less than 1 AU) using a number of gravity assists.

@messe guess you're right - I'll take the downvotes...
Depends on the technology and how well they're thermally managed. Lithium iron phosphate cells are starting to show up in lower-end EVs and those could last a very long time.

Really, the thing with old batteries isn't so much that they degrade (though a few cars had problems with it like the early Nissan Leafs), but rather that the technology is getting better all the time, and even if degradation isn't a factor, a twenty-year-old battery will be based on twenty-year-old tech, whereas newer cars will be have more range, charge more quickly, and be lighter.
It sounds like the real reason is that the money is worth it.
Besides the good points about the difficulty typing characters, not all fonts have good glyphs for non-alphanumeric (by that I mean low ASCII) characters. Sometimes they don't have those glyphs at all and the system has to go to a fallback font. Terminals can also shit the bed with Unicode characters.

The solutions to those problems is to use better fonts, terminals, and editors. Using Unicode characters is fine but some people do have legitimate problems with them.
Yeah I totally misunderstood the distances - my bad.

It turns out these "weird tricks" are actually just the things our bodies need to operate properly. We evolved moving everyday, being outside, eating nutrient dense foods, sleeping as much as needed, etc. It's crazy to me to think that there are still people who don't think these things could have huge systemic effects that impact the entire aging/disease process.

I’m sure you’re right for some services, especially infra ones, such as EC2. Some other services, though, should be built on top of EC2, EBS, Lambda, S3, and etc, in which case Netflix and AWS teams use the same infra, yet Netflix internal services require much less oncall
Having a few false negatives in the control group shouldn't really matter since that would only make the groups more similar and hide any differences that exist rather than hallucinating ones that don't.
> They're not identical languages

Let's continue tying the Dutch into this discussion. The war crimes tribunal for the former Yugoslavia was in the Hague. One of the official languages there was BCS: Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian. Not three of the languages, but one of the languages. Can you imagine anything more damning than being charged in a court of law, and not understanding the charges? Fortunately this was not the case, as the languages are in fact identical. That a court of law sees them as identical is a very objective standard. There are many other examples.

You are also doing Croats a disservice by presenting them as a hive mind that rejects certain notions in unison. Some of them disagree explicitly that the languages are separate, and a lot of them disagree implicitly (if not most!). For example, only a couple years after the war there was a Serbian movie in Croatian theatres, and it was subtitled. This was met with widespread ridicule in Croatia, and the practice has been, as far as I know, abandoned. So even if people don't want to open this can of worms (that I unfortunately did here), when faced with the full consequence of it, a large number of them will find it ridiculous.

To be clear, I am a native speaker of this language, or if you wish languages. I also speak English and German, and have spent some time in Switzerland. I believe my experience is adequate to say that we are in fact speaking one language, and the differences are nothing more than regional differences, that exist everywhere else in the world.
If it helps, I'm rather fond of this explanation: https://mvanier.livejournal.com/2897.html

Especially this part, from toward the beginning:

> Before I get into the details of what Y actually is, I'd like to address the question of why you, as a programmer, should bother to learn about it. To be honest, there aren't a lot of good nuts-and-bolts practical reasons for learning about Y. Even though it does have a few practical applications, for the most part it's mainly of interest to computer language theorists.

The article goes on to explain why you should learn it, anyway, but, still, it's not like monads and Haskell. Despite the concept's intellectual cachet, you don't need to understand it to be an effective lisper. That said, this opinion is mine and mine alone, and stands in direct contradiction to the sentiment expressed in the following paragraph.
I'm not the parent but lemme chime in on this topic. It's pretty simple, if you don't build crappy software you won't get a heavy on-call load. You're really asking how to build great software. Build strong teams, with experienced people, follow good practices, reward quality and stability and not features or lines of code, reduce complexity, etc. etc. I've worked on software used by millions of people with a very low problem rate and then I worked on software used by hundreds of people where nothing ever works. Often in the latter the team, through lack of experience or ability, assumes that this is just the way all software is. There's plenty of examples of widely used software systems that are generally quite reliable and well built, and there's plenty of examples of stuff that's garbage, held together by duct tape, works by chance.

100%. They are diving head first into a digital dystopian nightmare where no one is allowed to install anything without approval. I wouldn't be in tech if I couldn't experiment and tinker when I was younger. iOS is more of a toy than an actual useful OS.
Then why not use an open source OS with generic drivers which are available in source code and can be inspected, and even build in an exactly reproducible way with a system like GNU Guix?

I interviewed for a Sr. Technical Product Manager role at AWS. This was shortly before Covid happened.

Every interview seemed to go well until the on-site. It literally felt like I was wasting their time. They gave me very bad holier than though vibes. It seemed like every answer I gave was just given a head nod then on to the next question. They asked very basic level PdM interview questions. Things I would expect a first time PdM to know, which surprised me because I was interviewing for a Sr. role.

I assume I didn’t integrate their “principles” enough into my answers because I was rejected and put on a 6 month waiting list to reapply again.

That ended up being the last straw for me. I was already on the fence about working at a BigTechCo based on previous bad experience. I ended up starting my own company. Best decision I could have made.
> The point is to move the bar for removing yourself higher

No, the point was to make the people with the power to do something about it be forced to use public schools.

Just moving the bar a bit higher would have no such effect.

> Right now though a significant number of people opt out of the public system and I think that's a huge problem.

Why? What’s wrong with thinking the public school system is bad (which it obviously is) and doing something better for you child?

Funny to see people ask questions like LSE, lol you can probably figure out if someone on an alt account is a real amazonian or ex amozonian by asking them a few abbreviations.

My experience is that everything this guy mentioned in this post is true and more worse things are true that are not mentioned.

Working at amazon broke me. I had to go on Xanax after working at amazon and after quiting Xanax lost three jobs consequetively.

I had to work so hard to regain my self respect and confidence.

The situation described in this post is no different in Amazon Cape Town or any other place.

Btw the internal dev tooling is absolutely terrible and a pain to work with. The dev tooling is a result of "not invented here" syndrome. Forget about using a good opensource library to do a given task if that library is a google open source library.

It is hard to join amazon, but also to leave it. It operates a bit like a prison gang. Your phone tool icons are your prison gang tattoo's.
Like a prison gang you will move up the ranks by doing things, sometimes even taking out members of your own gang. The longer you are part of the gang and the deeper you get...the harder it becomes to leave until it becomes impossible to leave.

My two cents is that until amazon becomes customer obsessed with its "internal customers" aka the employees it is bound to fail.
Getting into orbit would be rather difficult, as the probe would have have to match the planets velocity at perihelion. My instinct says it’s probably just on the edge of doable (although I’m not sure on which side), but I haven’t crunched the numbers. It would almost certainly need to be launched on a Delta-IV or Falcon Heavy class vehicle.

EDIT: s/perigee/perihelion. I could say periapse and be neutral, but perihelion sounds cool.
I got a similar feeling when Amazon once reached out to me.

I got a recruiter email and I wasn't super interested in working there, but was a little curious, so I responded. They wouldn't tell me what project it was or what I would be doing exactly, but said that once I was brought in for a full interview loop I'd sign an NDA and they'd tell me all about it. I said I wouldn't mind having a conversation on the phone just to learn what I could from the hiring manager since I wasn't comfortable spending time on a phone screen if I wasn't even interested in the job or the project. The recruiter set me up with a call with somebody on the team.

So I had a phone conversation with somebody on the team, expecting it would be an informal chat about what they do and what they're looking for, but after about 20 minutes they started asking me design and behavioral questions (i.e. given situation X, tell us what you would do). I was really annoyed because I just wanted to get a feel for what the role entailed and what they were looking for, but they turned into a sort of interrogation to see if I had what it takes to join at all.

I was already starting to look for a new job at the time and was familiar with Amazon's principles, so was sort of prepared for it and I answered all their questions quite well, and they seemed happy. I kept trying to steer it back to things I wanted to know, however, but it was hard.

Overall, I felt like the call was a waste of my time since I didn't learn anything about the job. I guess you could say it saved me time later since I decided not to respond to any future emails that other recruiters sent me.

Unfortunately, my ins won’t cover it, as I’m well controlled. So my options are $300+/mon out of pocket, or suffer.

The term "restoration" is already used to refer to the restoration of artworks. Oftentimes that work can't recover the original, and various fixes and approximations must be made. Yet the term restoration is still used, because that's what one is doing. There are, though, plenty of terms of art (pun intended) for _how_ a painting is restored and modern restoration involves many tricks to ensure that those changes are both non-destructive and reversible.

Perhaps digital restoration will begin to adopt similar terms of art for succinctly describing how an image has been restored. Lucky for us, digital images can easily carry metadata that describe what's been done to them, including perhaps a copy or hash of the original image.

Side note: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvZe6ZCbF9xgbbbdkiodPKQ is a great channel for learning about modern art restoration.
It depends a lot on the company and specific role. As a junior person there is a higher chance that the position you apply for will require this kind of commitment but not all. Just make sure you ask during the interview process.
How does Pythran fare against the code in this link:

The author made some julia performance mistakes in his benchmarks.

The code in this version:

https://discourse.julialang.org/t/i-just-decided-to-migrate-...

should be very tricky to beat, and I suspect that the only way is doing a lot of customized assembly.
Or stored it as opaque metadata on first retrieval, regardless of how it was computed, paired with the actual hash. When one is invalidated, the other is too.
They are doing a great job from a management perspective but it is not good place on average for a developer. Both can be true.

> In Sept. 2020, Politifact “fact checked” the lab leak hypothesis and declared it a “pants on fire lie.” Politifact was forced to walk that conclusion back in May 2021

I've always taken some umbrage with the "truth-o-meter" on PolitiFact. Even "walked back" is a bad option in this case. The options on the meter are:

- True

- Mostly True

- Half True

- Mostly False

- False

- Pants on Fire

There seems to be an incredibly glaring omission on that list: "Not enough information yet collected". I'm aware that's maybe a nitpick or an annoying observation... But _not knowing_ is a vital, vital skill and the basis of the modern world. I find it strange that the "willingness to not know" is a fairly under-discussed topic. The 'truth' is that -we don't know- if COVID came from a lab. That's OKAY, and we can behave properly if we choose to not know what we cannot know.

> We really don't need the amounts of meat (if at all), averagely consumed in the US, EU or many other places nowadays. Not by far.

Define need.

I don't live to be a drone guided by some moral principles of other human who has the same rights as I do.

If I want meat - I will eat it regardless of whether I need it or not.

> And if you insist: there are plant based products today, that are often tastier and offer better nutrients than large swaths of the meat products they replace.

I hear the same mantra for last 10 years.

> There certainly is no lab-grown alternative for a tasty slab of expensive beef (I presume, I haven't looked for it), but there certainly is a tastier and healthier plant-based alternative for that €2,99 bucket of fried chicken things. Or for 6 of the 10 cheap burgers at your supermarket.

You forgot psychological factor. While the bucket of fried chicken is rarely as pretty before cooking as they display it, but in the end it is 100% meat. If we're talking about some plant surrogate, most people would probably puke at the thought of eating this. I certainly wouldn't enjoy it.

As Astronauts Dock, China Takes Up Long-Term Residence in Orbit
There is something to be said for this approach. If the root cause is to be fixed someone needs to look at it in depth rather than running some play book procedure to recover. If you have too many problems though you're beyond the point where that helps. Let's say your software has worked flawlessly for a year, no issues, now an issue pops up, the engineers should definitely spend a lot of time understanding it, understanding why it popped up, fixing it properly and fixing the underlying process/org causes that made it pop up. It should not be "follow some playbook to recover". If issues pop up every week this is unsustainable, you're well beyond the point where stuff can actually be fixed. Automation has its own dangers, it is additional software to maintain, it has its own bugs etc. The right amount of automation makes life better for sure.
