This is great. About ~6 years ago there was a story on HN from MIT titled "Self-flying drone dips, darts and dives through trees at 30 mph"[0]. It was a fixed wing drone, rather cautiously flying near a few trees. At the time my comment was:

> I guess I was expecting something more like this goshawk flying through a forest, but maybe it's too much to ask for :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-_RHRAzUHM&start=100

Now 6 years later, the drone seems almost on par with the capabilities of the goshawk. Pretty amazing!

> process technology migration to 3- and 2-nanometer (nm) based on the company’s Gate-All-Around (GAA) transistor structure

I believe GAA is the next gen tech for the node process. Samsung is the first foundry to do GAA w/3nm while TSMC is sticking w/FinFET for their 3nm. It'll be interesting to see how 3nm FinFET compare to 3nm GAA.

https://www.anandtech.com/show/16041/where-are-my-gaafets-ts...

edit:

>After that, transistor structures begin to change. Samsung and TSMC are manufacturing chips at 7nm and 5nm based on today’s finFETs. Samsung will move to nanosheet FETs at 3nm. Intel is also developing GAA technology. TSMC plans to extend finFETs to 3nm, and then will migrate to nanosheet FETs at 2nm around 2024.

I recommend learning to use tox and virtualenvs to avoid this headache. A properly laid out project (of any language) should have a fast time from checkout to running tests.

For most python projects, that can be as simple as `pip install tox & tox`
> If a group within the DoD has plans for a project other than the stated goals, that is a conspiracy.

But that's not what my comment is claiming, at all. There's no conspiracy. Everyone is acting on sincerely held beliefs. "We need a large standing military for defense." Or "We need R&D for defense." Or "We need a huge number of bases spread out across the country for defense." Or "We need this base anyways and the Constitution is symbolically important to our mission/history/culture so we need an oak grove." Etc.

The result is a sort of sprawling socialist state operating in parallel to the rest of the USA, administered by and benefiting people who don't call the cow a cow, but there's nothing conspiratorial going on. Everything operates on sincerely held beliefs. Or more often jaded disinterest in bending the status quo. But not conspiracy, per se.

If you just asked for an oak grove it'd be a fight. Say it's for defense ans there's much less of a fight. Ditto for literally anything else. That's all I'm saying.

Microsoft is still No.2 company in terms of market cap. Its handling things more softly doesn't mean it has sharply less power.
The keybindings for XMonad are pretty similar to the keybindings for GNU screen - if you already spent time getting comfortable with screen, it won't take you too long to pick up.

dwm is a tiling window manager with very similar keybindings to XMonad, and it's written in C. I used it for a bit before I switched to XMonad... I mostly discovered that if you were fine with the default configuration, they were largely interchangeable, but XMonad had a more sizable community and much more options for configuration. The config is also not that bad to copy/paste and treat as just a bizarre config file syntax (of which I think we've all used many).

Personally I think a tiling window manager works at least as well with 1-2 windows on the screen as with tons. I actually don't use one now (I'm mostly on Windows for work) but I extensively used it on my netbook which didn't have the screen space to effectively use more than two windows.

"You're cutting productive and unproductive hours at the same time" is perhaps true, but it's about the ratio. Obviously at the extremes (cutting the last day of work vs going from a 7-day to a 6-day) there's going to be differences.

Acting like unproductive hours are some random result goes against loads of companies who have been doing actual trials of 5 => 4 day weeks. Having time off is actually helpful, and the sort of procrastination from dissatisfaction/exhaustion/whatever that leads to this can be helped by this kind of stuff!

"Why is it 4 and not 3 or 2 or whatever" I mean it probably depends on people but TGIF is a saying for a reason
I am curious if there are any Tesla Palo Alto employees here. Wondering if this is also paired with moving their eng team ? Otherwise, feels like a symbolic move by Elon almost as a response to the factory shutdown last year. He also said that they are expanding Fremont production and they recently announced a new factory in Lathrop. Weird move, but whatever
I mean, if they want cheaper housing and plenty of space for factories, they could always look at Michigan.

But then they'd have to make cars that understand ice and snow, and autopilot is much easier to sell if they can pretend freezing weather doesn't exist....
NIMBY housing cartels aren’t political idealism, and they are the main reason people are leaving.

Also I’m not sure the utilities are better in Texas. Cheaper, sure, but is that gas infrastructure winterized yet?
Second this. Really impressed with Subaru's eyesight system. No false alarms till date. Twice in 3 years it alarmed when cars were turning in front of me and it was too close for the car to stay comfortable but i would have been okay with it. 3 times it has saved me from frontal crash at highway speeds by applying AEB.
Have you tried using .NET Core? It's a pretty thorough reworking of .NET Framework that is officially supported by Microsoft on Mac, Linux, and Windows, and pretty much all of my experiences with it thus far have been positive. VS Code has great built-in support for it.

> The ethical consideration is not particularly complicated, and Scandinavian health authorities are not risk-averse idiots. They simply care about an equation that might lead to a couple of saved lives in total. I think this level of care speaks highly of the intentions of the healthcare systems in Scandinavia.

In a vacuum, I agree.

The unfortunate reality is that many will take this in the "Scandinavian authorities are stopping the vaccination program", as you're seeing already here, and that confusion is likely to be weaponized by antivax activists.

> They started with a syscall wrapper for running Linux binaries, and ended up running a full Linux kernel next to the NT one because that was faster.

That doesn't necessarily mean the Linux implementation is good; it could be that the syscall API is bad and can't be implemented any other way.
The fact that "it just works" by putting an address in an IMG tag is really important. Streaming setups can get complex fast and sometimes it's worth paying the bandwidth penalty of mjpeg in order to build something super simple.

Most of the US weapon systems have production in many different states as jobs programs for the senators of those states. You are absolutely correct that the DoD has a lot of political reasons to exist outside of fighting wars.

Yeah this is cool, I was thinking of the "normal" way of doing it where evaluating a Lisp function reinvokes the interpreter function. But there are obviously other ways to do it if you have global arrays, as awk does.

Except your scientist(s) were wrong this time and killed 10 times more people by not implementing quick and mild restrictions and letting the disease spread. Sure, what US and France did was also different kind of wrong but it does not make you right. Only thing that has been life saving is very quick reaction that limits the spread at its infancy. Also of course quick vaccination.

Frankly, I don't remember. It's been a long time and using .net was a failed experiment.

>Why were you targeting mono then?

Well here's another issue with .net I ran into... really unclear guidance from numerous sources who all really wanted you to use THEIR stack and thus end up paying THEM.

I did multiple things, multiple attempts to make it work. I tried to do it "the right way" from various sources.

The reason I was targeting mono at some point was because I wanted to run a microservice, without paying windows server licenses fees, and as best I can tell, that was the root runtime I'd need to target.

Keep in mind that this was me, going in blind into a large and established ecosystem. I don't think going astray detracts from some of my bigger complaints, such as the poor quality of community open source libraries.
Jeez. Do they offer similar above-market rates for remote work? Would they hire a non-CS/SWE managerial type (still with a STEM education), pushing 40, if I grind some leetcode or something? Pretty sure I've got enough Dark Triad traits (and working for other human-destructive organizations) to tolerate their dystopian shenanigans if it comes with a doubling or trebling of my total comp....
Texas makes a lot more sense for their HQ from a financial perspective and a personal values one, for their C-levels at least.

What I do wonder is how this is going to affect the internal composition of the company; I'm fairly sure a sizable % of their employees, especially women and POC, would rather gtfo than move over there.
Sadly(or luckily, for the people that haven't had any contact with the ecosystem), you must have missed the semi-recent open source developments around .NET Core. It's open, has a very healthy community and is well supported by Microsoft.

Sure, back in the days when you had to rely on Mono for cross-compact, this is exactly the answer you'd expect from anyone, but it couldn't be further away from the truth nowadays with the modern runtime and ASP .NET Core.

Live oak (Quercus Virgina) is also used throughout the ship because of it's hardness and strength. Live oak is comparable in hardness to ebony, with incredible rot resistance (more so than even white oak).

Even more fascinating because of the hardness of live oak the constitution famously made the cannonballs of the british literally bounce away, causing a crew man to proclaim her sides are made of iron.

Hence the name old ironsides. https://www.nps.gov/articles/old-ironsides.htm

The USS Constitution is also the only active US Navy ship to have sunk another ship.
Sure but you can also declare global arrays in Awk. The point is that Awk and bash are the same in several respects, so you don't really gain anything by switching to one or the other:

- they don't have any garbage collection or ref counting
- they don't have recursive data structures
- you can't return any kind of array from a function

In bash you also can't pass an array to a function, but in Awk you can.
Do you have a source for "third leading cause of nonviolent death"? According to CDC, a 24yo female death has a 113 : 2416 = 4.7% chance of being caused by covid, and a 24yo male death has a 195 : 6756 = 2.9% chance of being caused by covid. Not trivial, but I wouldn't call something with < 5% prevalence 'leading cause'. More accurate: "for 15-24 year old covid is a minor cause of death".

There has been a lot of effort around building tiling compositors for wayland. With wlroots, it’s getting a lot easier. I believe waymonad is trying to bring xmonad to wayland but the project is going pretty slow last time I checked. But I share your sentiments. The last year has been awesome as a Linux user. Wayland, pipewire, proton are all so awesome, I really get excited thinking about what we’ll get in the future.
Some big parties always try to skip the court ruling and do whatever they want block the site without a law suit directly. Even the court ruling path exists there since forever and accomplish with the problem they claimed perfectly.

Either because it is expensive or court obviously won't agree about every flawed claim they created. That isn't really a problem only in America.

Some people in Taiwan also tries to pass similar law, end up get backfired when someone noticed it and stop the law creating process everytime. (And they still didn't give up

> I am far past the days where I'd delight in tweaking my Linux installation to my personal tastes. If I could have a git repo with a static config that just built my OS the way I like it with minimal messing around, I would love that. I've heard NixOS is meant to work like that but I haven't found the time to try it.

NixOS is neat.

And "OS setup from git repo" is something NixOS is excellent at.

However, the effort it would take for you to come up with your own NixOS configuration would be much greater than what it would take for you to just re-configure your system each time & keep notes (or write the commands down as scripts).

I think the dissuading points under "Should I use NixOS?" are pretty good.

I disagree with that metric, because many students should not finish high school — I think the graduation rate is too high in every state. I would compare states based on testing performance, keeping in mind California’s demographics and the absurdly high number of kids who don’t speak English at home.

I should say I think its schools are fine, rather than great.
I was under the impression that the USS Constitution was made of southern live oak (and that the US Navy had tracts of it in the southern US).

Turns out that it’s true, the “frame” is made of southern live oak. I guess the rest of it is white oak.

EDIT - there is also a strange story about the Naval Live Oaks site near Pensacola, Florida. It was established to provide live oak timber for the Navy but after WWII they finally decided they didn’t need it any more. They gave it to the state of Florida with the express limitation that it had to be managed as parkland and could only be used for public purposes.

So… decades later the National Park Service is establishing the Gulf Islands National Seashore and wants the Naval Live Oaks land back. Florida says no. An “enterprising” US Attorney finds an old newspaper article about a circus that came to Pensacola in the summer time and the elephant died. Well, they needed a place to bury it and chose the Naval Live Oaks area. The feds sue Florida and claim that an elephant burial ground is not a public purpose. The judge agrees and the land ownership reverts back and becomes part of the national seashore.

Don’t vote based on party. This person doesn’t represent all democratic politicians, nor should someone represent all republican politicians, although if you see it in a gestalt viewpoint I can understand your valid opinion. The 2 party system forces a tribalism which is toxic. Separating cheerleaders and the actual party is like hating a band because you don’t like their fans, but don’t let it blind you to policies that are beneficial whatever party they belong to.

3. Tech workers are more educated (????)

I really liked your detailed write up on the publishing chain you have used, code is just text in it's essence and because of that programmers have access to superior tools for it's manipulation. But that power is hidden behind a steep learning curve. IndiePaper is just the collection of tools you have specified all integrated and wrapped up as a web app.

Regarding examples, I never thought this would blow up on HN, that's why it doesn't it even have an FAQ, I'm working on a new design that would bring published books of the platform front and center.

Technical books are and will be supported, even though technical authors have the know-how to setup up a publishing toolchain, most would love to write in a completely integrated platform. Since we control the entire editor, we can and will support code snippets, highlighting and comments by adding to the text-editor raw structure and processing it during typesetting phase.

IndiePaper was actually ideated with rich technical books from the start, features like code integration with Github were all thought of from the start. So IndiePaper will have first class support for technical books.
Not particularly. I'd rather have seen Interix hang around.

Interix was implemented in more of a pure "NT" manner, being a subsystem, as compared w/ WSL1. WSL1 just shims Linux syscalls. I'd rather build software from source targeting Interix (as just another "Unix"-flavored build target) than running native Linux binaries.

Except for meetings and deadlines, why is anything measured in hours. Why aren't things measured in amount produced? (I hope it's obvious I'm speaking in terms of coders and manager's teams - I have no idea how this would work for directors or above.) The majority of coders are employed on salary (so far as I know), so just pay their salary and expect tasks to be completed. This mandatory 40 hours in a seat ritualistic adherence seems dated and unproductive. Different people will work better in different situations, and it is one of management's tasks to see that their team's potential isn't impeded when trying to complete their tasks as a unit, even when that means working as a coordinator between separate individuals on the same team, working towards the same goal. The work should be what's valued and not some myopic adherence to a past life of offices and collared shirts.
