> I wish I was as good a parent as I am an engineer.

From the information in your comment you seem like a great parent to me. Or maybe you are just a good parent, but an exceptionally great engineer ;)

You seem to be perfectly aware of things you need to take into consideration. And you have even come to a solution. Sometimes things are just hard, but that doesn't say anything about your parenting abilities.
It probably was actually local given everything else about this story.
I haven’t read the article. But I thought it was well-known that the death of the 3 engine plane was because the FAA dropped the requirement for 3 engine plans for over ocean flight.

The rule made sense at the time as propeller engines are far more likely to fail. Overtime it became apparent that modern jet engines are extremely reliable and the need for the third engine wasn’t necessary.
The main point is that airplane design is a trade off, and airliners are very heavily focused on fuel economy while smaller private jets have other considerations. For fuel economy you want high bypass engines and those have a big diameter (hence why the 737 MAX had issues getting the larger engines to fit). All other design limitations are getting less relevant for airliners because airports by now are well equipped.

All of this isn't really news, the industry has been moving in this direction for a long time.
Lots of website designs have featured this genre of “cluttered beauty” for many years already. Personally I hate it. It makes everything so difficult to read.

IMO it’s unlikely to be featured in interface design as I’m sure past the branding advantage, it’s just bad for accessibility.

Footnotes. I hadn't thought about footnotes. The winner here has to be Jonathon Strange and Mr Norrell, some of whose footnotes are micro stories thrown in as a bonus for attentive readers.

Although Jonathon Strange and Mr Norrell doesn't have an index.
Yes I miswrote twilio when I meant zulip.
I heard Fedora recently started using this for password hashing in /etc/shadow. My question is - why? Argon2 is proven sturdy, well known, and there's many implementations of it. I could be wrong but I don't think this is the case for Yescrypt. I had never even heard of it until a few weeks ago. Or why not bcrypt? That's sturdy too.
> I used Google maps as part of the evidence.

This was the cause. OpenStreetMap has a very strict zero-tolerance policy of anything that might be sourced from a copywritten source. Maps were traditionally "big business" before OpenStreetMap, and map data was closely guarded (and the guards had no worries about attacking what they believed to be even the slightest infringements of their copyrights).

> I also included a photo I had taken from the street myself.

If you had used just the photo you took yourself, and not referenced Google at all, you'd have had no issue getting the fix made and having it stick.
> I would love having some neighbours from California in my summer house…

Well, you're in luck. It won't just be Californians, though. You'll have new neighbors pouring in from all over the world, cramming up in the liveable spaces that'll be left. It's gonna be cozy. And who knows, maybe you'll even have to spare a room or two of your house for them? Just as Germans had to when the refugees from the former eastern territories poured in after WW2.

The point is that EU countries with comparable taxes (or even slightly lower) that offer free dental, drugs and university.

And the house prices absolutely can be pinned on governments, we're one of the few countries globally that allows non residents to buy property.
I think Apple has specifically announced at WWDC that ARM macs won't be locked down? I've also read somewhere that they have specifically written some utilities to allow booting arbitrary kernels — they could have very well not done that, so it has to be very intentional.

Apple engineers are also probably reading all this and are very impressed.

This is a bit of a strange critique. The publication is a long-form literary magazine, kind of like the Canadian Harper's. Neither of the writers is a brand person, they're both independent small scale writers, and if you check their past bylines none of them seem to overlap with the kind of thing you're talking about. No product is linked, this isn't like one of those GQ pieces where they want you to click through and buy the thing. Mostly it's sort of abstract and introspective, about processing feelings, and less about any kind of product.

Let's say, hypothetically, that Big Consumer Culture wanted to Give You Permission To Buy Stuff, does it seem like this is the venue and manner they'd use to present this idea? The article discusses coverage of minimalist house makeovers as fueling the minimalism they think is in decline: wouldn't the people trying to push consumer culture use the same coverage of maximalist house makeovers more effectively than a small long-form essay in a Canadian literary magazine? Wouldn't they have a thing they want to sell? Wouldn't there be graphics or pictures or video engagement? Wouldn't it be attached to some kind of promotion?

It's sort of hard to unpack the who, what, when, where, how of your pitch here.

That's quite a story.

Props to you and your team.
Why is it so hard to get laws against people who are clearly abusing the system? I mean this is black hat hacking, but in meatspace.
There are also two engine aircraft with the engines mounted at the tail instead of under the wings. The change there is that larger diameter engines are more fuel efficient and those fit better under the wing than at the tail.

Right. I think it’s a combination of their AI sucking and being a smoke and mirror show (ads are just mechanical Turk with buyers doing the labor of keyword matching and messy matches where they don’t care and provide no accountability) and not caring enough to spend resources.
Around here most bullfight arenas are mislabeled as slaughterhouses (and FWIW the animals are not killed in the arena in Portugal). I once tried to correct it but all the changes got declined. I suspect that besides spam some people like to use Google maps for political statements.
Yeah, Made In Space has a 3D printer on the ISS. Axiom Space is making space station modules and a new space station. Bigelow is actually completely gone now, though, as are most of the asteroid mining companies (partly because we abandoned the Obama era Asteroid Redirect ARRM mission in favor of the Apollo-like Artemis). Also, NanoRacks is a company people should know about. They’ve been involved in space infrastructure for a while, using ISS as a platform, and just installed a new large airlock on ISS.

There is necessarily some churn in these businesses because things like SpaceX’s Starship are completely changing a lot of old assumptions.

Or Peter Thiel using his personal relationship with the Trump admin to make his crony Kratsios the US Federal CTO and Undersecretary of Defense with a huge budget, who then pumps Gov money to Thiel investments (Palantir, Scale, and others), and then leaves the government to join one of the Thiel portfolio companies (Scale).

China is being captured by the largest force of them all: the communist party. The party's influence has to be kept at all cost, even the economy. The current crackdown of tech companies -- Alibaba, crypto, e-tutoring -- shows that the party will not tolerate forces veering off their control.

As for fossil fuel interest, China import oil, so that's the necessary evil, and they will be happy to get rid of it the moment they can.

First, there were Windows apps, with menus, entirely browseable by keyboard shortcuts for every menu, contextual help with F1 everywhere, universal and automatic support for Tab, Esc, Enter, speech support, applications were complex and as you grew better at them, you could browse them faster than a clerk buying an airplane ticket on Amadeus (the ancient text interface where each keystroke is a complex command).

Then we had apps and webapps. People loved them. They had no keyboard shortcuts, no menus, “tab” didn’t lead anywhere, colors were not uniform, concepts neither, and “usability” meant “fewer functions”. There was no way to write on your resume that you were expert at any of them. And they replaced each other fast.

Let’s hope we’ll reinvent advanced user interfaces.

The GP is incorrect regarding how frequently TL dating is used. However, in general you have destructively test something in order to TL date it or work sampling into your excavation plan upfront. For obvious reasons, archeologists typically don't give 'cranks' access to archived materials to destroy, nor do they typically consult them when designing their excavation plans.

It also used to be easier to view at least some of a business page on FB without an account; last time I tried it demanded I log in immediately. Given the number of businesses who use FB as their sole online presence, as well as all the businesses that post important updates to hours and such there first, this is rather annoying.

That said, I've never had even a hint of needing to install WhatsApp; I'm given to understand that's a regional thing.
These are two different things. There's minimalism as a life philosophy, and there's minimalism as a design style. They go well together, but, as you point out, you can also have one without the other.
This article has an error. It claims that an advantage of a fuselage-mounted engines is that the wings don't "have to support the extraneous weight" but that's completely false. Mounting the engines on the fuselage requires stronger wings because the fuselage is now a lot heavier, requiring a significantly stronger wing root.

Putting as much of that weight in the middle of each wing means that the weight is closer to the center of lift. Imagine a bridge with a span between two supports - placing the load above each support is a lot different from placing that load right in the middle of the span.
This stuff scares the crap out of me that there are people who think so little of their fellow's that they'd do that type of workmanship and call it a day. Not just the builders, but the steelworkers, the smelters, etc...

I mean... Everyone pitches in their part. You can usually take some slacking here and there, but at some point, if people just refuse to do it right all levels of modern industry, the result will create nothing but suffering for anyone on the receiving end.
Whoever flagged that story didn't make a good case for doing so in the comments (nor have you).

Many people commented on why that story was important, and of interest to the tech community.

As I've pointed out, the story was upvoted to the front page, and removed, three times in an hour.

That all shows the story was clearly of interest to the community, but overruled by a very small number of people who decided they know better.

While some people can apparently argue that helping to censor discussion of war crimes is good for this forum, against the expressed will of this forum, it's telling that no debate or discussion was allowed.
Nice work, I've always wondered if we can brute-force search for good mixers like this!

Take a look at the PCG paper for a strong family of mixers, including most of what you've tried:

https://www.pcg-random.org/paper.html

Multiplication is very good for mixing low to high, and xorshift moves the bits back to low. PCG also has tricks like "random" xor-shift, where the shift is determined by the top bits.

Additionally, you might want to try varying the word size as in PCG- as you get into strong mixers, they'll all pass PractRand (or take excessively long to fail), so to make things harder you can force them to have less state to work with.

Oh, to convert these invertible mixers into RNGs, you might not want to output the entire result, or you'll fail a birthday test after 2^32 outputs or so. You could do something like squish two halves of the output together, or perhaps even xor the counter into the output like in ChaCha.
In the scheme of things, maybe changes to places are far more important. If someone messes with the hours of operation of a store, they're directly affecting someone's livelihood. Naked man hiding on the far side of a panorama, not so much.

Is this intentional, desired policy on their part or more of a "means to an end?" I understood it that, historically, the Taliban were anti-opium. I suppose if Western nations pursue a North Korean containment style policy, that this would continue similar to NK methamphetamine operations.
To give some ideas of the power requirements here, a TukTuk is quite a bit heavier than a bicycle+rider, I did a 150Km trip yesterday on an e-bike, consuming about 1200 Wh of battery power and supplying the reminder the old fashioned way (using the pedals :), typically the balance is about 2/3rds pedal power and 1/3rd motor unless going uphill.

1200 Wh would require a surface of about 4 square meters of panels for an hour in direct sunlight. Let's multiply that by three or so for this TukTuk on account of the weight difference and much larger frontal area as well as the much wider 3 wheels and you can get an idea of how much duty cycle you can get out of this setup. This could be improved by adding a wall socket charger but then it isn't really solar powered anymore, at best it would be solar augmented.

I wouldn’t discount it as a mindset. I am a minimalist despite having decorations in my home. And if I’m part of a tribe, I’m pretty sure I’ve been excommunicated because I don’t make friends over this stuff.

What I do do tho is just keep things tidy. Dispose or donate things I don’t need anymore. Limit my material purchases to art I appreciate all the time and tools I use all the time. I just feel cleaner spiritually for it.
A dumb question. What are they trying to achieve by encrypting the SEP firmware? If they want to prevent people modifying it, won't signing it be enough? Otherwise this smells of security through obscurity, which, strictly speaking, isn't really security, and Apple engineers are most likely aware of that.

Show HN: Mani – go CLI to manage multiple repos
mani is a CLI tool that helps you manage multiple repositories. It's useful when you are working with microservices, multi-project systems, many libraries or just a bunch of repositories and want a central place for pulling all repositories and running commands over them.

You specify repository and commands in a config file and then run the commands over all or a subset of the repositories.
I believe so. They use a dual stack model and last I checked Airtel doesn’t support IPv6 yet and neither does Vi which leaves Jio to be the only ones contributing to the stats.
IPv6 is a perfect example of where a legislator can make a positive market impact. I like market principles, but relying on market alone for this just leads to local optimum (squeezing every last drop from IPv4 with various hacks).

Just mandate that every ISP must provide IPv6 for new contracts within a year and then for all existing contract within two - or whatever reasonable timeline - and be done with it.
Doesn't sound likely. You will be able to settle tens of millions of refugees in Greenland, Siberia etc. Former frozen wasteland will become habitable. I don't think Europe or the U.S will volunteer to absorb tens of millions of refugees if there are other solutions.
The computer doesn’t have to do these locally—there’s no reason this couldn’t be implemented as a thin client.

I agree that data has to be converted, but I don’t agree that it has to be as manual as it is today. Consider this: In addition to your API, a second JSON file gets generated that describes the schema of the first. On the consuming developer’s end, their language & IDE uses that schema to let you call APIs or RPCs exactly like they were local functions.

It's so that you can drive more monitors than a single GPU supports. For example, my T430 with discrete graphics could drive 4 monitors simultaneously while the iGPU model was limited to 2 (3 unofficially).

It became so annoying at one point that I just replaced the motherboard with the iGPU version. Apparently now nvidia optimus support on Linux is improving somewhat, but having had to deal with this and other issues for years, I'm probably never getting an nvidia GPU again unless I absolutely have to.

I do agree that’s the best takeaway from the article. The long hours do creep up on you. I can’t tell you how many deep debugging issues were only solved in the first few minutes of the next day only after going home.

Similarly I've been in and seen hard working teams make chains of silly bad decisions that had to be corrected with even more work later. So I guess keep in mind the corollary is that it’s a marathon not a sprint. And maybe so it’s less of a trope: there is “too long” on both a low level everyday as well as a larger scale - come up for air and breathe and get your bearings and perspective.
