Do Viasat's launches go through the same type of environmental impact study they're saying SpaceX should go through? I couldn't tell from the article whether the FCC let SpaceX skip a step (legitimately or not), or whether Viasat is arguing for a new regulation to be applied to SpaceX that doesn't currently exist.

Puppet and Ansible are great for this type of things. If you want a new repo for your group, you make a pull request for our management repo.

There are a bunch of access rights, hooks and tokens that need to be set up in a certain way depending on the type of repo, and Ansible regularly makes sure no one deviates from the intended configuration.

Github (or Bitbucket or Gitlab) isn't different from any other software in this regard.
It's not "historical". LGBT+ people are still discriminated against, fired, attacked and killed. Sometimes by bigots and sometimes by well-meaning people in a system designed to discriminate. Naming a current project after a historical figure with a position still shared by a current set of powerful bigots gives them legitimacy in the present.
Thanks for the reply. Is it available to self host? Or self manage in public cloud?
I couldn’t help but read that in Feynman’s voice!
WPF is relatively old tech, built in 2006 on top of DirectX 9.0c and unfortunately stayed that way ever since. Probably that’s why the bug in the GPU drivers went unnoticed.

In my experience, in modern world the newer ones like D3D11 and 12 are generally more reliable.

If I would be managing the relevant division at Microsoft, I would consider deprecating D3D9 support in drivers and kernel, instead rewrite d3d9.dll to emulate the API in user mode on top of D3D12.

Microsoft already did similar trick long ago for OpenGL. Starting with Windows Vista they were emulating GL (albeit very old version of GL) on top of DirectX kernel infrastructure, unless the GPU vendor shipped their own implementation of a newer version of GL.

More recently, third-party developers have re-implemented Direct3D 9 on top of Vulkan (which is very comparable to Direct3D 12 feature wise), the results seem good: https://www.reddit.com/r/pcgaming/comments/hirdfp/dxvk_is_am...
One would hope Microsoft wouldn't hire him due to his long history of rampant sexism, but, being realistic, they would not likely care.
Absolutely. We see the health of the ecosystem as a positive end state for us, regardless of whether we're selling the most modules or third parties are. We're standing up a marketplace to help foster that.

Yup, no need to read any more.
I will speak out against BS like that too. Just because a law exists doesn't make it right or moral.
It's basically a fiberglass tube. Corrosion from a quick dunk is a trivially solve-able issue since everything that could corrode will already need to be protected enough fora decades long service life in salt spray. I can't see sinking it for routine maintenance being cost effective. Even at a hundreds of dollars per man hour it's still probably not gonna be cheaper than making the maintenance people climb a ladder.

That said, being able to lay over the main tube at like 60deg would make it way easier to construct them since you could use a much smaller and cheaper crane to assemble and it would minimize the side to side movement caused by rolling. You basically just need a cleverly engineered chamber to pull that off since the ship can have all the pumping hardware.
So what's not serious about that question assuming it was for a programming position?
After some thought, the reason JSON is different is due to how XML schemas include types and if you are converting the OO classes to an XML schema, you are basically injecting inheritance/composition into the actual API call. That does not happen in JSON because you don't have types.
You could also use computer vision to mute the speaker when you covered your ears, and mute the microphone when you covered your mouth! Zoom meetings would be so much easier.

So an FM2 socket (to pick one of the more reliable ones), which has ~900 pins has a 4.5in^2 area and adds ~.25" in thickness, while reducing the maximum speed you can get through the chip at the very low voltages necessary to run LPDDR, which is what I meant by compromising speed and power.

Not to mention that socketting parts reduces your production yield over SMT, increases your assembly cost, and cuts reliability (it's fine on a desktop because you almost never move your desktop, and there's usually a big thermal assembly bolted on top).
you’re missing the point of GP. Musk has over promised and under delivered for a long time. Wall St/investors don’t believe Musk. They believe in Tesla and/or SpaceX. Musk is neither of those. He may be the big boss, but thousands of people work to make those things a reality. Thousands.

Sure, that's a good point, and the Cloudflare article is from 2016, so the market may have advanced as well.

On the other hand, unless they somehow get the laser communication working, which is still a research problem despite their optimism, they have way too high latency to act as a tier 1 ISP - all traffic currently goes consumer - 1 satellite - ground station - Internet.

As a former coach, I would recommend avoiding absolute takes such as this since they can easily sound right but be wrong. Just as you exemplified yourself, it is often better to start out small and then work your way up. Much more so for people with no athletic history, joint and/or weight problems, etc, doing just a few reps of easier exercises regularly rather than going all-in-and-bust on day one is the healthy way to go.

That's not really what SyncThing is for. It's not a full replacement for cloud storage like Dropbox.
It's not just about slipperly slope to me. There is immediate & massive crushing impact, on everyone trying to host online systems.

As soon as you begin to say, "safe harbor, except..." there is not really safe harbor. We either are liable for hosting content online or not. The first exception is all it takes for everyone hosting online content to have to develop & staff moderation systems for every word posted online.

I really don't want to have to live in a world where people are NOT FREE to post things online. Ending safe harbor, to me, directly disables our ability to speak online. There has been countless really bad things happening, but to me, the government stepping in & trying to mandate moderation for all content is completely a no-go, is fascistic in extreme, a colossal & drastic curfew on basic & essential modern democratic functioning.

I hope platforms volunteer to do better. I strongly believe (warning: optimist) that we are very early in our days of figuring out reptuation & credibility of things we read online, and that this situation will improve (especially via decentralized systems such as web annotations) over time, that we will better understand who & where the information we come across comes from, that there will be more ambient/less centrally hosted ways to explore & see criticism/critiques/context of the things (which themselves are likewise analyzable). I don't see any viable moves from the government right now, I haven't heard any thing they could do that would help us at all: I'm happy to listen. But dynamiting safe harbor because American's are being a bunch of stick in the mud tarts & subscribing to conspiracy theories left & right, is, alas, not exactly new or different, and this Klobucharian Satanic Panic moment is either mass stupidity, mass cowardice, or just outright totalitarianistic fascism amid the government.
The assumption that needs to be true is that experiments without as much regulation are just as valuable as those that have it. I don't know either way though.
Wasn't there a recent controversy about him asking for a $10B US grant/loan/whatever?
They could do a whole lot of good by educating people on the practicalities and risks inherent in this activity.

Frankly, most common polymers are extremely likely to fail.

Where they do not, they will work, until they don't and when they don't, personal risk is very high. As in that second round could fail in a highly dangerous way.

"Works until it doesn't" is true for metal firearms too, but the time and conditions to fail are orders longer and more extreme than for polymers.

Once people understand what 3D printing firearms in the vast majority of cases actually means, the allure is very greatly diminished. There is no way in hell I would use one.

That aside, is data regulated globally? What happens when data is obtained from outside the US?

What happens when the desired topology is divided into many puzzle pieces to be assembled then combined at a later time? This is trivial and any individual piece definitely will not make a firearm. However 100 files and some boolean operations later, one has a printable representation.

Finally, as an exercise in physics and engineering, all this will prove to be compelling. Will this cover constructs intended to perform the task, but remain impractical for human use directly? I am thinking of the case where the round is fired from a mechanism that would definitely form the basis of a firearm, but is not incorporated or embodied in a useful, like pick it up and shoot, type firearm. Like say something mounted in a test chamber?

Meta: This is not my thing. I do not trust and have no desire to trust polymers for this task.

Metal printing may be a different story, but does at present time, require machining and other post processing, not unlike many unfinished, not directly usable parts do.

This is all very interesting to see play out. Will this matter be used to make general purpose additive tech illegal, unless it does some sort of reporting and screening?

Of everyone I talk to within the finance community no-one (and I mean NO ONE) actually has interest in CBDC's besides the banks themselves.

I frankly just don't understand why anyone should care. If they want to roll out a federated IBAN/SWIFT/SEPA just do so and leave us out of it. It never touches any of the qualities that make a cryptocurrency or even a digital currency interesting or adoptable by the masses.

So I'm entirely sure why we're getting hit by a slew of narrative op-eds extolling the virtues of this to the public. It's not like the masses really care how the backend system will be setup. If it's better just do it, but don't think for one second I'm believing it will benefit the small folk.

We should clarify that Australian Magpies are a completely different genus to other magpies. They are in their own branch genetically and there's really not much else like them. They were called magpies because they are black and white.

Their behavior is equally as unique as their genome. Highly intelligent and highly territorial. They will attack humans without hesitation if they perceive a threat.

I think it partially depends on how you go about it.

If you’re moving heavy industry to Earth orbit and supporting it entirely with material shipments from earth, yeah that seems like a no-go.

On the other hand, if it’s the moon, asteroid belt, or even Mars we’re talking about, you really just need enough launches to bootstrap the operation. The bulk of other materials can procured locally, reducing the number of launches to just those getting personnel to the stations, which would be dramatically fewer in number and less than a rounding error in terms of emissions (each rocket launch is roughly equal to a commercial flight, the latter of which there are tens of thousands each year).

Yes, I miss the days where independent blogs ruled the web. Everything has transitioned to social platforms optimized for instant gratification where there is no room for deeper thoughts. Or lives on a 3rd party like Medium. Most of the blogs I used to read daily have transitioned to being people who tweet a lot and rarely write longer content.
> Integer-like things. C++ char is similar to Rust's u8 or i8 but Rust's char and bool are very deliberately not just integers.

sure, but there's an easy mapping from char / bool to integers. C++ supports parametrizing on values of struct type, which is a clear increase in expressive power:

struct foo {
int count;
float init;
};

template<auto arg> struct bar {
float x[arg.count];

bar() {
for(int i = 0; i < arg.count; i++)
x[i] = arg.init;
}
};

constexpr foo f{ .count = 123, .init = 4.56 };
bar<f> b;

> You would like to define a type, which is parameterised not by the type of function, but by specific functions? So, for example I can make a foo<sum> and a foo<average> and those are distinct types which presumably internally are using the provided function to behave differently?

yes, it's pretty much the only way in C++ to have zero-cost callbacks / strategy pattern using function pointers since the compiler can directly inline the function pointer everywhere in the type's implementation instead of having to go and read it from some variable at run-time

You're asking two different questions — you know that, right?
I'm vaccinated and think vaccines should be mandatory -- so I'm pretty extreme pro-vax -- but I do think we're mismanaging vaccines.

A lot of what we're doing seems to be analogous to an incomplete course of antibiotics.

I was pretty optimistic about vaccine+N95 masks+modest social distancing. On the other hand, mixing vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals with no protection seems like a recipe for vaccine-resistant strains.

What's interesting is the hypothesis that strains will become resistant to vaccines by becoming more virulent -- where unvaccinated people die in droves, while vaccinated ones have a "normal" infection.

I don't think any reasonable philosophy of taxes tries to claim that your money "belongs to the government" and "they let you keep some".

We pay taxes. It's our money, then we pay some of it to the government to support the government, and pay for the myriad of ways in which the government supports us.

It is not possible to live in this country and not be supported by government services in a dizzying variety of ways, visible and invisible. Those services cost money. Therefore, we pay taxes for them.

There is no real evidence for the idea that a difference in scores predicts a difference in performance, once you are above some threshold.

They should keep the test, but use a threshold (per major and school) with a lottery for everyone above the threshold. And admit a small number below at random to keep evaluating what the threshold should be.
You have a pricing page but there's not a single dollar sign on it. I have no idea what this costs.

California is doing well on a lot of things but is it because of the state or despite of the state?
My summary: till around 2015 Blue Origin and SpaceX seemed like peer competitors; since then SpaceX pulled way ahead. Bezos and Musk have quite different long-term visions, with Musk into Mars settlement and Bezos into moving Earth-based energy and industry into space using space resources, inspired by Gerard K. O'Neill, etc. The article asks whether Bezos is committed enough to get his company to really compete.

It's offputting to see so much hate in the comments here. I'm not a fan of some things about Amazon, but I want SpaceX to face serious competition, and I see space development as more promising than Mars development.
