> Is this something SpaceX eventually plan to commercialise, like Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic are doing?

This IS commercialized. Jared Isaacman contacted SpaceX and expressed interest in buying a flight. SpaceX put him in touch with people and then he bought the flight. Other missions have already been bought as well and likely several more that haven't been mentioned.

And you've literally written how hard it is: "hit limits much sooner, and it’ll be more sensitive to other system load (thus more prone to jank)" and then you couldn't reliably animate 10 emojis. Ten. Ten. And you call animating ten emojis a pathological case.

Your compile_commands.json example is essentially what tools like node2nix produce. For saner build systems, e.g. cmake and meson, simply including the build tool package in `nativeBuildInputs` along with dependent packages in `buildInputs` suffices to build 90% of C/C++ packages with Nix, with the remaining 10% being Qt (I jest).

The real killer app for Nix is in testing now, and that's the "flakes" feature. Lots of this stuff will get way easier to use when you can throw "github:owner/repo" in an `inputs` set and get a working Nix builder for your project without needing to read through nixpkgs. I hope you give it a try again sometime, as it has changed my perspective on how software should be built, distributed, trusted, and deployed.

>Compared to many others cases where the Judge were clearly biases from the very beginning.

Judges in the US certainly have varying political persuasions and values, but you would be hard-pressed to find a federal court judge who isn't trying to faithfully decide each case on its merits. It's part of their oath or affirmation.

Judges are professionals and can express preliminary views on issues without being 'biased'.
It's packet-based, and you can delay a packet by a lot of time and it won't cause any problems. So at higher levels there shouldn't be any tight tolerances.

The CDU is not ideologically compatible with MAGA Republicanism. I think you're keying in on the immigration and abortion stuff, which is a fair point, but really they're just not in the vector space of US politics, which is sort of the point that NYT piece is making.

Customer rights are always balanced with corporate rights, and laws and rules are there to assure neither customers nor corporations act in detrimental ways to society.

Customers can choose what they want to succeed, but none of the choices should have strong moral implications. I shouldn’t have to choose between destroying the env. or not, or support crushing rival businesses or workers rights or not, etc.

So no, I don’t think it’s customers burden to have companies behave. Except if by “burden” you mean suing the companies collectively.
This is circling towards what we do as computer programmers - specify system behaviour in minute detail.

You can move it to a higher level, and there are usually tradeoffs there, and perhaps AI can help mitigate some of those. But in the end, you need a way to specify the system behaviour in explicit detail. Which is where software developers come in.

That's not going to go away because AI comes along, AFAICT, though it may (as it already has many times) change form or grammar here and there.

That interactive prompt system is going to get boring fast, so we'll script it. And then build on that and ...
There's NixOS, which you are describing, and then there's `nix` the package manager and build system. The latter is installable on any Linux or macOS system as a normal binary, and can be used standalone as a build tool. My company uses this to standardize (and cache!) development environments across a diverse set of hardware; the environments do double-duty as hermetic CI builders as well.
As mentioned already, ancient peoples didn’t know that Earth is 3rd planet from the sun and Saturn is 6th.

But Saturn also has a ~30 earth-year long year, which means it goes about 1/12 of the way around its orbit each Earth year, relevant to hexagons which have symmetry axes at 12ths of a turn. (No idea if this is the source of any association between Saturn and hexagons.)

Is this really such a problem? I feel like you'd want pgbouncer anyway in order to mitigate connection establishment latency.

I currently work on a project using GraphQL from the start and we are happy with this choice. It's sometimes a bit complex but when I listen to some friends debating about how to build the most beautiful RESTful API for their use case, I don't regret GraphQL at all.

We have some queries that are a bit slow because it's easy to ask a lot in GraphQL, but the alternative would be to do hundreds of HTTP queries if we were using REST for example.

The tooling is particularly good nowadays. My company use it in NodeJS with Apollo and TypeScript and it's very good and stable. I also did some side projects in Rust and it was very pleasing to use too.

One common problem is the caching, you can't easily cache using normal HTTP CDN software for example, but since our API requires to be authenticated for anything, it's not a problem for us. We just do cache in other places.

We have some simpler API not using GraphQL but I would strongly recommend GraphQL as soon as your API is not tiny.
Ada is a general-purpose programming language with an emphasis on safety and contract-oriented programming. There's a lot of software written in e.g. C++ today where Ada would be perfectly justified, if only it was more widespread and accessible.

You get plenty of requests for the static part of it and less so for actual ipv4. If there was an option for static ipv6 then people would also request that instead. Static IPs have use cases that people in the wild need, however I don’t think anyone cares if it’s ipv4 or ipv6.

It is Arabic. The lead lines are "'anaa indraa", which is Arabic for "I am Indra". In Farsi it would be "man indra hastam"

The scripts are related but Farsi has extra letters for sounds not present in Arabic, and it has a totally different and unrelated grammar.
I think they meant researchers who study misinformation.
At a minimum, GraphQL skips the problem of having one or few engineers re-invent the wheel of how to pass queries to an API. Or if you’re lucky, how to document it.

REST Api design is probably one of the least value-add activities a company can involve itself in. Any standard that defines a standard way of performing set operations, GraphQL or even the ancient ODATA, is superior.
>Additionally, 56% of women declined to participate in the study, and there will surely be some correlation between that choice and the cause for the termination.

I think you're misunderstanding how the sentence I quoted relates to the study. The study I linked to actually only studied women who had abortions unrelated to fetal anomalies or life endangerment. So none of the 56% who declined to participate in the study nor any of the 44% who accepted to participate in it had abortions related to fetal anomalies or life endangerment.

The quote I quoted was basically an offhand remark that the paper made to justify its relevance, not backed up by evidence in the paper, but instead backed up by a citation to a different paper that I found hard to understand in a quick skim.
Exactly this. I've seen it personally repeatedly.

I find that writing and mathematics are just a poor way of trying to structure a context free domain specific language for the problem.

The few times I have build up these dsls formally have let me understand a topic both more deeply and remember it more easily. The downside is that time invested in inventing it in the first place. E.g.

(for-all x (implies
(member x integers)
(exist-unique y
(and (member y integers)
(equal? 0 (+ x y))))))

Is the way to say that all integers have additive inverses. It's ridiculously long but logically sound and quite easy to prove mechanically given that every operator in that sentence also have definitions in that vain.

I did see that, but since it was in parentheses I interpreted it as you saying that was lower likelihood.

The general way I interpret the meaning of parentheses is that it's a part of the sentence that provides extra information, but the sentence would still be correct if it was removed.

As a conservative, I'm against this law as it is government overreach.

Instead, Texas should tax Facebook several millions of dollars for all Texas residents who are on Facebook (and all social media with more than X subscribers).

The law should be written as a measure for the public health and should cite numerous studies pointing out the toxic effect of social media.

The end goal should be to get Texans off social media and to end facebooks monopoly. No one needs social media. It is toxic. It should be treated like tobacco is -- a disgusting habit some engage in.

But that would require the republican party to actually be effective and bold and do what it's voters want.

If I have an app on my phone that I open once a quarter and it delivers me a ton of value => I will happily pay for it monthly.

The travel planning does not provide such value at least to me. I’m already spending a ton of money on hotels, planes and transport as well as I do my research before the trip. Somewhere along this journey and from this money I spend on hotels and stuff there should be this service to help you plan your trip.

Update: i remember maps.me had this in their model - they wanted to sell you guides on the platform that you can then go through with GPS. Nice idea, but it had to be subscription so that user could explore these options as he prefers, not after buying the guide…

"Generally, if you're writing long, rambling posts, there's a good chance that your understanding of the subject that you're writing about is sloppy "

I don't think that's true. Understanding something and being able to write about it are two different things. It's a good thing to learn to be concise though.

Good writing is often a very small subset of a topic. If you are an expert on a topic it can be very hard to omit a lot of detail you may find important but will just overload people.

Toastmasters taught me a lot about this. A lot of my speeches were 15 minutes long at first. Cutting them down to 5 minutes was very painful but it definitely made them way better
Kudos to you for pursuing something that a lot of people are saying won't work. That takes some character! Especially in a difficult time for travel.

Your app looks great. As a full time traveler / nomad for 10 years, I don't have much of a need for itinerary planning apps on their own. But I would love to have social itineraries, where I can follow my friends' itineraries and share mine with them especially for serendipitously meeting up at random points around the world when our itineraries intersect. Yes, I've got an abnormally large number of globe trotting friends, but there are entire nomadic communities out there who are eager for this feature.

Are social features something you've considered developing further?

As an traditionally educated artist I can assure you, that even with the help of Camera obscura or other "invention", the level of composition, precise, confident brushstrokes and craftsmanship of Vermeer are of the charts.

For the trained eye this is obvious.

If you don't have the knowledge of anatomy, composition and color you will just make unconvincing value transfer.

Yes, you can fool a lot of people, Youtube is full with "photo-realistic" amateur painters.

The idea that Vermeer is not properly trained and his paintings are just mechanical transfer done because of the technology is naive.

Technology in the hands of the master can create transcendental work. In the hands of the amateurs technology produces amusement for the masses.

In the documentary you can see the frustration of the process, when done only in transfer mode, without the needed knowledge and craftsmanship.
