Typescript can be compiled to maintainable javascript, so in the worst case you could just take that downgrade.
As amazing as Hubble is, it's worth remembering that other agencies built several more devices of the same or better resolving capability, and the NRO donated two spares to NASA almost a decade ago [1][2]. Not sure what's happened with those devices since then.

USA had it easy when in the days immediate toppling of Sadam, and the prognosis was bright.

Even when Fallujah happened, they had more good popular disposition than not.

It took US repeated, conscious, and really best to say concerted mistakes to make Iraqis hate them.

1. Fallujah

2. Fallujah repeated

3. Fallujah fiasco repeated in other cities

4. Relinquishing of control of civil administration

5. Botched ellections

6. Propping the unpopular government elected under dubious circumstances

7. Tolerance to massive levels of corruption

8. Tolerating Iranian interference early on

9. Staging, and intentional exploitation of Sunni vs. Shia confrontation. This truly was the "Genie out of the bottle" moment
A lot of the allied leaders get a better historical reputation because they’re naturally compared to their opponent, Hitler. Without Hitler there as a foil, most of them would be treated far worse by history.

Charles de Gaulle should get more crap over his behavior in Algeria than he does. Same for Churchill and his behavior in India.
In the interest of pay transparency: I am a white, male Group Manager for Avanade, an Accenture subsidiary, in Houston, Texas. I work as a Data and AI architect. My base salary is $183,000 a year.

The fact that it feels somewhere between dangerous and transgressive to post that speaks volumes to me. What weird evolutionary mechanism brought this on?
Today I learned. Appreciate the comment and lookup. Nice to see them retool Mercenaries.

Battletech always seemed trapped in a 40k-esque lore vise of its own making, in such a deep focus on a specific slice of time that progressing the greater narrative forward seemed inconceivable.

But I guess that's tabletop-derived worlds and games in general.
A lot of early GBA games are like that on purpose since there was no sidelit or backlit screen until the GBA SP came out.

What if it turns out the COVID did come from a lab. Will it still be “hate mongering” the “others” then? Or do we start embargo if the PRC?

The left likes to call anything they don’t want to talk about “hate” or “racist” these days.

This usually happens when upper middle class liberals get offended on minorities or “others” behalf.

The Orwellian newspeak is also not helping.
> The distractions are no better working at home: useless Zoom meetings, constant Slack messages, pointless emails.

Well... I can mute Zoom meetings, but I can't mute the colleagues I'm with in my shared office space. Also, while in a virtual room, people are more likely to just "change the room" to not distract you and others from their work, compared to being in the same office, where they would need to take everything with them.

> I prefer to get out of my house.

So do I - but not every day. When I need to "get things done", I prefer staying at home.

I'm not the original poster, but I have more than 23k cards in Anki.

I would emphatically not want to publish my flashcards publicly. Many of them are internal to where I work, and simply aren't interesting outside my workspace.

Fantastic. I think we used a few of these while our kitchen was under construction. From a cooking perspective we lived like prison inmates with nothing but a compact microwave and electric kettle, doing dishes in the bathroom for months. If it had lasted a few more weeks I'm certain I would have started brewing toilet tank hootch from canned fruit salad.
So many - I'm going to share a few that come to mind quickly, rather than agonizing over picking the best possible results.

The NyTimes published (important it was opinion) piece talking about revenge porn, underage content. And it forced pornhub to remove all non verified content so their CC processing didn't get cutoff.

Though personally I think the truth is somewhere more in the middle. Obviously illegal content is bad.

But the push has been funded by right wing anti-sex, anti-lgbtq orgs and MindGeek does legitimately at least at face value do work to remove illegal content (if anyone works there or has insight that'd be interesting. porn tech is cool imho).

versus absolutely nothing as the standard for basically all the rest of the internet. A bunch of sex workers spoke out about it too here are some other articles to move the bias a bit towards center.

also if you didn't know. a lot of the 'tubes' are all MindGeek, the pornhub parent org.

Average healthy but overweight (yes I know this might be a contradiction in terms) person can fast that long pretty easily without eating anything. That's why the body stored the fat in the first place...
Color me skeptical. In the anaerobic zone you're going to be at something like 90% of max heart rate and getting almost all of your energy from carbohydrate stores. Most people deplete those in less than an hour, especially when fasted.

When I'm following a polarized training program I find I can do the long, slow aerobic workouts just fine when fasted. But when doing high intensity anaerobic intervals I fall apart quickly if I haven't eaten some carbs before.
It's humorous, but hints at the truth that the anonymity and physical distance from other people leads some to be jerks. Most people are better behaved when speaking in person, even with people they disagree strongly with.
This perception really isn't true though.

That the general public has not been exposed to the equivalent current documentation doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

The level of understanding that many leaders have going into these situations, and especially their earnestness to want to help in material ways ... is very high.

The US Army didn't 'build schools' in Germany and many atrocities were committed there, far more so than incidents today which are generally widely reported.

The US firebombed German and Japanese cities and burned them to the ground, with mass civilian casualties. It was a completely different story in Iraq for example.

If the US were to have 'had to invade' Iraq in WW2, the era of this 'friendly publication' - well, they wouldn't have had a problem levelling entire cities either if it were deemed necessary.

Large swaths of US activity in Iraq and Afghanistan focused directly on construction and support of civil services. More so than probably any intervention in history.

That's not to say there aren't gaping holes in understanding and that it frankly may not make much of a difference anyhow, but it's more true that one would expect reading the slightly cynical comments here.

I do appreciate the familiar tone of the publication, and I do agree that there's something there we ought to admire, however, we do live in different times.
It just feels like the antithesis to the kind of official government communications today that use needlessly complex language and seem to try to avoid actually saying anything of substance.

That is changing. Slowly. The U.S. government has a program to train its people to speak and write clearly and in ways that ordinary people can understand. But it's a big government, and it's going to take a while to spread everywhere.

A similar thing is happening in healthcare, which is where I work. It's called "health literacy," and everyone in a customer-facing role at my company gets lots and lots of training in it.

I can't speak about the government's motivation, but for us in healthcare, it's because people who understand the state of their health get sick less and cost less money to heal. Sad that it took a bunch of studies to come to that conclusion, but bean counters gotta count beans.

> In most ways, the quality of Linux code equals or exceeds that of
commercial products I've worked on.

Maybe, and I know this is old but I am shocked by the blunt and rude communication.I’d prefer to work on lower quality code with people who aren’t “rude” to each other like this, saying “stop this”, “you have been brainwashed”, “ Niklaus Wirth has no friggin clue”, “language designers have brain damage”.

Most companies I have worked at have tended to value communication over technical skill, since the latter can be taught much easier.

Even if a junior engineer “rubs you wrong”, I believe senior engineers should respond with the intent to help them learn, whereas multiple people in this thread seem to be responding out of emotion. Regardless of whether the original poster has an irrational hate for goto, the senior engineers responding here have an irrational defensive and aggressive tone. I wish more engineers would learn to stop getting so worked up when opinions differ.

A much better way to handle this is “I see your point, however we disagree and would like you to please consider these counter points”

If I understand well, the Statue of Liberty was a gift from the French people (not the French State) but the pedestal was american : there was none when the statue arrived, and it waited for a year there in its crates.

"The promoters of the statue in France formed an organization, the French-American Union, in 1875. The group issued a statement calling for donations from the public and presenting a general plan specifying that the statue would be paid for by France, while the pedestal upon which the statue would stand would be paid for by Americans."

Maybe that's sensible, maybe it isn't (how close are 'what an oncologist thinks' and 'what a layperson believes an oncologist thinks'?).

Commenting on the internet "I'm more virtuous than you because I dismiss your experience without caring what it is" isn't particularly sensible, it's tribal signalling "I'm in the science tribe not the conspiracy-alternative-health-woo tribe". Isn't it?

Totally not a duck!

(quack)

Seriously, though, go on. I'm dying to hear how you've got a definition of "lobbying" that cleverly gerrymanders around all the corrupt dealmaking and only includes purely informational communication. I can't wait to hear why we should confuse this definition -- which seems precision-engineered to deflect blame away from certain shortfalls in our political apparatus -- with the common usage of the term, which frequently refers to real life events and therefore inevitably includes a great many situations where the thing going "quack" is, in fact, a duck.

Pixar doesn’t show physical actors.
I couldn't disagree more. International policies are completely different in the US and in France. The US are extremely interventionist and some may say "aggressive", this is not at all the French doctrine. It was very clearly apparent during the 2nd war in Iraq. France ignored NATO for decades until recently.

As for a more philosophical point of view, again, disagree. Universalism is indeed a concept of the French Republic while the US vision is exceptionalism. These are complete opposite.

Finally, I guess there is a certain amount of distrust of the government in rural areas (is it specific to France and the US?) but where in the US the expectation is that the government should be doing as little as possible, in France the expectation is that it should do much more to help/support people. The relationships of Americans and French to their respective government are complete opposite again. In France, people expect a lot from the government who is supposed to be the great equalizer.

Agreed. Also, the TIE Missile Boat from that game is still the most fun and engaging simulated space fighter I've ever flown.

It had an afterburner-like mode that would give it short bursts of immense speed, but would rapidly consume the ship's energy reserves.

The mini-metagame of constantly shifting power around between engines, weapons, and shields in order to optimize that ship's combat effectiveness on large complex missions is something I still recall fondly.
Part of my job is to help the executives that I report to understand why things went wrong from the security perspective in our business unit. These are purely internal discussions, not even investigations. There are no penalties, but really, for things as egregious as hard coded passwords. As will become clear in a moment, the fact that my executives care is quite unusual.

Culturally the result is coverups and lies.

Engineers lie, managers lie, test people lie, directors lie, senior directors lie, vice president lie, external interesting teams are negotiated into minimizing certain critical failures, and so on. Managers don’t want to hear it so that they can’t be accused of lying, vice presidents don’t wanna know, SVP’s just want green squares on the cross-BU PowerPoint.

This is internal discussion of revenue impacting incidents. Do you know what executives do care about? Revenue. Lost deals. If the people who care about money, including the account teams, don’t care about security and severe quality issues enough to be honest enough to get to improvement, how could an external board accomplish anything for those very few incidents that actually become publicly visible?

This isn’t like the NTSB; I spent my life reading NTSB accident reports. They have actual real authority, there are potentially issues that might impact someone more than being caught distorting things.
I think you're a very attractive profile for many growth stage startups. But traditional job search strategies like using recruiters would not be effective. Recruiters and HR folks tend to pattern match with standard profiles and founders don't fit well into that profile. I would think that a better strategy might be to be to network with other founders and VCs to get into your next gig. YCs startup school is a good place to network actually.

I wanted to use programming as an example because it is what I am familiar with. I am not trying to say that if you are in for the money you will have a bad time, that money is evil and all of that. What I am trying to illustrate is that monetary gain in itself is not enough to sustain any sort of artistic expression, and this is why pure artificial emulation of the activity is not enough to kill it, in my opinion.

This is not to say that art has no value in escaping reality, poverty being one facet of reality. In a sense, art is the only valid escape from reality, the only form of expression that can truly shape and transform what we know.
I'm at the end of the day you really need to argue this with the military not me.

as far as COTS parts, I mean if you think you can build a radio of that size with its requirements,life span,etc someone probably would have.

they moved to slightly modded radios similar to law enforcement for squad level communications, but I dont see that happening for larger scale systems in the near future.

But the field operation guide doesn't tell you how to open the radio, that is beyond operator (RTO) and field services.

There were at least 11 builtin counter measures, to prevent someone from exploring the guts of the radio, and sure you could see what is in the radio, but once the eproms fried themselves, you would be hard pressed to figure out what was on them.

The manuals that explain those enter workings aren't issued to field units, hence why they have maint. Centers.

Not sure what you mean by too late for SINCGARS, the originals before the half sizes came out, I just as you could load the crypto and hopset from and ANCD, all you need to do was take a dog bone cable and splice and map the wires to a serial cable, and then configure telnet. Then set the proper broadcast mode on the radio.

you could probably find the specifics in a leaked field manual :)
The GBA (before the SP version) didn't have a backlight and so compared to the CTRs you played SNES games on were quite a bit darker. That's why most of these games got a brightness bump for the GBA.

Ben Nevis is the highest mountain in the UK. A tender 1345m ASL but starts more or less at sea level so actually a solid piece of rock.

But then I guess there is a whole generation of adults now who grew up with phone apps or websites being the authoritative answer in so many areas of life. It may not be just stupidity keeping them from looking at a paper map. How many of them were ever shown one?

I’m assuming it was recent teenagers who got confused by Google Maps, but even if not, the broader point stands.
