You don't need to sustain thrust the entire time you just need to reach a significant portion of escape velocity energy early in your launch (which is what most launches need anyways just this time you need slightly more energy than the efficient way). This is not something we have trouble doing, for reference we launched New Horizons directly into above escape velocity speed with an Atlas V rocket. The only reason we haven't done that kind of launch to the moon in real life is it's far cheaper and more efficient to do that "normally" not because we couldn't.
Astronomers see back of black hole for first time proving Albert Einstein right
This is not true, or partially true at best. As far as I'm aware, current consensus is that psychedelics are not a causative agent in psychosis or schizophrenia in the absence of predisposing risk factors. 0.5-1% of the population will develop schizophrenia, and for these susceptible individuals, a psychedelic trip can be the event that triggers the full-blown disorder. But so can any other significant psychological stressor, like the death of a family member or friend, or going off to college alone. But in general, psychedelic use is not correlated with mental disorders, in fact there are some studies that suggest that psychedelic users may have lower rates of depression, anxiety, and increased empathy and openness.

oh, here's an interesting one I hadn't seen before: https://akjournals.com/view/journals/2054/aop/article-10.155... "Lifetime use of psychedelics is associated with better mental health indicators during the COVID-19 pandemic"

But even if psychedelics were a causative risk in some mental disorders, shouldn't we as a society entrust adults to determine their own risk tolerance? We don't ban alcohol because a certain percentage of drinkers will develop alcoholism. We don't ban smoking even though it is a (or even THE?) leading cause of preventable death in the US. Why should other drugs be any different?
I work in the AWS Mobile org. The predecessor to our premier service, Amplify, was called Mobile Hub (https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/aws-mobile-hub-build-test-a...). While I haven't personally worked on either service, I've heard and seen enough to know that they've taken customer obsession over keeping the lights on for any existing workloads farther than most reasonable businesses would. There is no sentiment of "force them to move to Amplify" in any conversations or design discussions, but rather "accommodate their existing workloads" as long as they exist.

Update: it looks like we're executing a migration plan this year by building seemingly-full parity between Mobile Hub and Amplify (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-mobile/latest/developerguide...) such that "if you don't migrate your project to Amplify, your app will continue to function, and all your related cloud resources will continue to be available". This seems like a great solution for existing Mobile Hub customers.

Are you suggesting in your last line that European companies aren't going to enforce vaccine mandates?

I suspect in all the cases where companies require vaccines, it will just be the company asking people, not inspecting medical records. I mean, given all the details about the reality of society, doesn't that seem like a more probable hypothesis?

it's unlikely there will be any large changes to private health data laws at the federal level of US in the near future. The trend appears to be that states will do this instead.
If a NodeJS application accepts a value from the client application, but validates against an early call (e.g. min 25 mins from now) the Infinity value can bypass that validation.

Because it's a relatively unknown side effect, most validations probably wouldn't check for Infinity.

Plus although Infinity pops off the timer at 0 seconds, a validation based on millisecond math would fail because Infinity > 25 minutes in milliseconds.
Yeah, I don’t disagree with any of those points. I didn’t mean to imply that the consensus is always correct (although my poorly-worded comment above plainly leaves the door open on that), just that as an untrained layman you need to have the humility to refrain from forming an opinion against the consensus. Hot takes unwanted, basically.

There is definitely a process of pushback and mediation between consensus and dissenting voices in any complex field that needs to happen, but agree that that is very difficult in the current political climate. I was going to say that there should be some (self-imposed) threshold of expertise to participate in these conversations, but I guess if policies affect peoples’ lives then they should ipso facto have the right to form an opinion on them.

Personally, my concerns about the integrity of any scientific consensus generally are in this case, on balance, outweighed by the potential consequences of denying climate change and being wrong about it, versus accepting it at face value, doing something about it, then finding out later that it was wasted effort. But that’s a different (and perhaps better) argument from the one I was making above.
What made 9/11 such a successful terrorist attack was that it made the US live in fear. That is a change (and it hasn't changed back). Terror (fear) is a perfectly fine end in itself for terrorism.

The anthrax mailing caused changes and fear in US society with very little work. That sounds like a very efficient terrorist attack IMO.
I'm not an expert, but my understanding is that the amount of customization in an mRNA vaccine is much less than in more traditional vaccines, so the room for unexpected problems is essentially just the protein.

This is similar to how flu vaccines vary from year to year, but the mechanisms and changes are well understood so the approval process can be streamlined, but we don't expect issues from this year's flu vaccine that we didn't see last year, even though they are different.
I guess anyone able to do either of these things could just torture you into surrendering your password, though.
It's ok for a radio to focus on its own country, but to make a claim for something "in all history" looking for information in at least a few other countries is the bare minimum.

Here where I live I commonly see "touristic museums" and touristic places make claims that can be easily disproven by a google search and that is just not OK.

Imagine in a few decades some museum in US about media goes on to claim Arthur was the longest running kids show in the world and even link to npr as a source?

npr should have known better and put "In US" in their title.
There is no reason why you can't host something behind CGNAT: you just have to use NAT-PMP or PCP to allocate a public exterior port. The issue is then whether anyone on either side supports that... but it isn't really NAT's issue.
Yet we still write books.
No prod environment.

Anyway just fyi:

currently having 2 root servers in germany and 1 in Finland.

If I remember correctly I had within 8-10 years at least once a full unexpected shutdown of a server (don't honestly remember how long in took until it was back online, it was a few years ago).

A few weeks ago I could not reach for ~4 hours my (new!) server in Finland from my own Internet provider at home (it was super weird - I could ping any other server in Finland/world but not the Hetzner stuff) but at the same time it was absolutely reacheable from my mobile phone and from other ping-test-sites in CH and D => interesting, probably something to do with my ISP but I'm wondering why exactly my Hetzner server was involved, mmmhhhh... .

Maintenance downtimes (few) are scheduled and communicated by email.

Throughput is good - currently writing a web crawler and I can go up from time to time to at least 50MiB/s download if I want to (BUT I try to be "nice" to not get banned :) and anyway my processing queue cannot currently keep up with that rate).

Support is good - servers in Germany want tickets to be written in german, servers in Finland want tickets to be written in English. Both are fast (e.g. initial reaction time usually max ~1h to pick up a ticket, answers to replies usually within minutes), german support can be verbose, finnish support wasn't at all in my case (e.g. if you ask "I have problem X because blahblah so I was wondering if maybe boot on disk #2 is disabled in the BIOS?" they might just reply with "boot activated").

About HW replacement: I had so far only 1 HDD failure (some years ago, in a classic mdraid5 array) => I opened a ticket and pasted the proof of the drive failing together with the output of "smartctl" to identify the drive => got a reply asking for a downtime => agreed to the downtime and shut down the server at that time => drive was replaced and the server was booted => I then resync'ed the mdraid and that was it.

About HW upgrades: opened a ticket asking details about feasibility & pricing => got back a statement 1-4 hours later => sent back a reply agreeing to it => I was asked a few minutes later by the tech team "when" to perform the upgrade => I replied "now" and shut down the server => a few minutes later the server was up and running with the extra 32GB RAM.

So, all in all, as you probably understood, I'm currently happy with them. The costs are ok for me (especially for the servers that have >=10 HDDs - is there a better offer anywhere, honestly asking?), the reliability of the infrastructure is good, the support is good.

I was before (many many years ago) at OVH (good support + reliable, at that time) but it then became very expensive therefore I left them. Nowadays they have a more differentiated offering, but it looks messy to me, and bigger servers like the ones that Hetzner offers (e.g. 8+ CPUs with 3+ HDDs and 1 NVMe/SSD) seem to be extremely expensive to me.

> The problem with encouraging developers to speak up when they're stuck

I'm not actually encouraging that. I'm encouraging them to not have imposter syndrome when they actually manage to fix something, regardless of their methods. The ones who ask stupid questions, in my experience, don't end up fixing the issue ever because they don't understand what they're doing enough to ask the right questions, so they wouldn't be at this point.

Yes! It's one of the few things I can watch and understand reliably in Japanese. It doesn't contain lots of slang or fantastical words.
I've been the 'fixer' in so many situations and I have a tactic for this. I ask them for the following things:

- a ticket to track the work
- that they get approval from my manager to drop all of the work that I am currently doing and affect other peoples timelines
- that they document the problem and how they want it fixed
- that they get approval for the extra hours required

You'd be amazed at how many "critical" issues disappear when you ask for these things. I personally think it is only critical because someone wants to dump the problem on you so that they can go home to their families.
My wording was maybe a little strong, I did try and clarify a bit in another comment below but, I was maybe a little bit unclear and think I might not have fully understood the point you were making. I admit, I did take it as juniors should just shut up, which i admit probably wasn't the most good faith way to interpret it.

I agree there's a difference between the kind of question like the one above vs. something like 'Why isn't there a check in there before unpacking a record?'

The first question is basically 'Teach me stuff I should know' the second is more along the lines of 'Why do we do it this way?'

And there does come a limit, if after a month they're still asking the same questions, not really seeming to have learned anything, it's probably not going to change.

I dunno, really I guess it usually comes down to the person and I hate to say it but, how annoying I find the questions and the person's behaviour.

The cool thing is that (if you enjoy doing it, like I do) you can use the extra time to learn new and interesting skills which perhaps complement your existing skillset. I mean, you may be better served by spending time with family, or with painting or cooking or all manner of things that aren't related to work. But I really enjoy programming and 3D printing and electronics design, and with this schedule I have enough time to work on endless pointless projects which have the side effect of teaching new skills or reinforcing existing ones. This makes me more valuable than if I had stayed working 40hrs a week writing hardware test code day in and day out.

Both sides of any litigation are obligated to produce all relevant materials in response to subpeonas from each other. This is what the discovery phase is all about. The protection against unlocking someone's phone, laptop, etc. prevents the other side of the litigation from rifling through someone's device and going on a fishing expedition -- especially until the defendant can consult an attorney. Blatant fishing expeditions are not allowed. It does not allow people to hide evidence that is specifically requested as a part of a court ordered subpeona. Basically, if the other side requests a piece of information, you can't legally withold that evidence from the court. If the court discovers such behaivor they can sanction the non-compliant party (financial penalties for instance), issuing a negative inferrence (i.e. we'll just assume the worst about the material and make that a part of our decision), all the way up to issuing a default ruling (i.e. you lose). Trying to hide evidence is the quickest way to piss off a judge and you definitely don't want to do that. Judges do not take kindly to anyone who challenges the court's authority.
What part of that statement do you imagine that people should find offensive?

That some people do want to be parents?

Someone else mentioned The Unpleasant Profession of Jonathan Hoag, a detective story Heinlein wrote in 1942.

The detective's wife is called out in the story as being the brains of the outfit, a very progressive notion in 1942.

Exceptionally competent women have been a staple in Heinlein stories forever.

> Its samples were noticeably worse in quality and less loud

I think I get the idea - I remember those trackers for Atari ST that also used some similar tricks to play multitrack audio even though the ST didn't have native multitrack PCM playback[1]. I remember that the sound was worse than ProTracker but still "serviceable" if you get what I mean.

But at the end of the day many ST owners would just use it as a sequencer of external gear (thanks to built-in midi ports and SW like Cubase) - those were actually rich people, they didn't need trackers LOL - my uncle had a Roland sound module and an Akai sampler hooked to the ST! I was just a kid and didn't have money for external gear but I was proud of what my Amiga could do for a fraction of the price.

I like that idea a lot. Make an instagram account named "Beautiful Newspapers" and post a picture of the framed homepage of some newspaper every day. Sadly I think it would be a parody account in practice.

It could use an e-ink display instead. This company sells a 13.3" e-ink photo frame for €800 that might do: https://framelabs.eu/en/artframes/ Or you could go full DIY and make them yourself for probably ~$250 with a pi zero, picture frame, and a $180 e-ink panel from alibaba: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/E-Ink-Display-Eink-E-...

Sadly, if you want to go much bigger with e-ink it'll be rather pricey like this 31" for $2.6k: https://www.visionect.com/product/place-and-play-32/

Except in this case it's not just you. You can pass it on to people who can't take the vaccine for medical reasons. Also, COVID has led to large parts of the economy as well as education system shutting down. Letting the virus romp around increases the chance of the disruption continuing indefinitely.

This is basic social contract stuff. It's disappointing to see so many people unwilling to undergo minimal sacrifices to help safeguard the health and welfare of others.
>affecting 751 people in total.

That is not how terror is defined though. The amount affected by terrorism is the amount of people that get terrorised by the act, not the amount that gets sick, dies or know someone who did. Using your definition 9/11 only affected aprox. 10.000 people but in reality if cased mass hysteria and fear in the US (and elsewhere) that is still there today.
From what I got from reading the docs and the blog post, was that this is a competitor to torch.jit and numba.cuda.jit - write faster Pythonic GPGPU kernels without sacrificing speed.

- The impassable bottleneck will be in the database
- Don't make any decision that you can delay. Very often you will see the initial requirements have changed, or not relevant any more.
- Listen to your team colleges, replay to them what they just said, even if you don't agree make them sure you have listened and understood what their proposition is. If you don't agree say something like "I maybe wrong but I am going to go this other way". Most of the discussions will end, no with an agreement but when the other person feels that they have been listened.
- Use "boring" technology when your objective is to build solid things.

This is a US based company. If they are paying below minimum wage ($7.25) you'd have a clear claim. There also should be easily litigation wins for any slavery type stuff if folks can't go home etc.

Kind of crazy to hear that they can't just pay a tech hourly to do this work and instead are doing a sweatshop with slaves in the USA.
But in a leftwing forum most members wouldn't be gun owners, of course the consensus would sway towards them. As they're in much greater numbers. The OP wasn't saying it's a fair portrayal of the entire community, just a majority consensus. I feel the same applies here just as well

Even non-gun-owners are entitled an opinion on guns as they can be used against them too.
Yeah have to disagree. When COVID is actually over, as in the virus is mostly eradicated, that might make sense. Forcing people back into crowded offices unnecessarily--even vaccinated offices-- while the pandemic is still going on is cruel. If Google takes that stance then I feel people are perfectly justified in lying to obtain a religious or medical exemption.

I hear what you’re saying, but the horizontal alignment implies each line is doing a similar thing. That’s not the case here. Eg, the first line creates the ‘info’ variable and later lines use that to calculate derived variables. So order matters.

Both approaches emphasise different narratives about the code. The aligned block style emphasises the similarity between the assignments. My space-between-lines style emphasises the difference between each block of code, as if each block is a paragraph it’s own separate intent.

If the assignments were actually similar, I would find the other approach more compelling. Some sibling comments have given better examples where this makes sense. But for this code in particular, the assignments are more different than similar (in both goal and subject). I’d use spacing to make that difference obvious.
So get the vaccine. Its free and you know it can't hurt you and the antibodies you've already got will work.
