Most US pilots could not fly an NDB approach using a simple ADF today, and would end up dead in mountainous terrain.

The reason is that you have to practise doing relative bearings and wind corrections in your head, or else you fly in a spiral towards the station (unlike VOR, which displays absolute radials.) That means you will be off the protected approach path, and can hit obstacles.

If they could fly an ADF, then AM radio stations can be used if necessary. (Airlines used to pay local radio stations to do a station identification announcement upon a phone call from ops, with the radio station typically near a coastline.)

Just don't hit the radio station antenna!

Note that NDB and VOR approaches are non-precision, which means they have lateral guidance but not vertical. So with low clouds, you won't get descent info to the runway like ILS.

That's a big deal for airlines, since they have company operations minimums that may not even allow NDB approaches, which are more restrictive than standard Part 91 (GA) operations minimums. For example, there are situations where I can takeoff in a Cessna with 0/0, that airlines can't.

If you consider Sweden's sparse population density (except for a few hotspots like Stockholm) and their 'natural tendency' towards social distancing, it's really quite telling that they've managed such a rate of excess deaths. The freedom might have been worth it in some regards, but it certainly came at a price.
One option when your DB doesn't have those primitives is to convert the bits to word 011 -> "unsetbit2 setbit1 setbit0" then treat that column to have a text index - this is equivalent to doing hamming distance search. I did this with MySQL for 20M gifs for near duplicate detection and it worked very well.
Dropping by to express healthy interest in this project.

Rancher have a pretty good track record so far:

- the Rancher platform itself (https://rancher.com/) is a really powerful and user friendly way to manage container clusters of all sorts, giving you a self-hosted dashboard for both your cloud and on prem clusters, for a variety of Kubernetes distributions; you can even manage the available drivers and also create deployments graphically
- the K3s distribution (https://k3s.io/) is in my eyes one of the best ways to run Kubernetes yourself, both in development environments and production ones. I benchmarked K3s alongside Docker Swarm as a part of my Master's thesis and it was surprising to see that its overhead was actually very close to that of Docker Swarm (a more lightweight orchestrator that's included with Docker and uses the Docker Compose format), only exceeding it by a few hundred MB with similar deployments being active, making K3s passable for small nodes

As for this particular project, it's very positive to see that it supports all of the big OSes, even though the 0.6.0 version tag would still advise caution for a while, even though it can definitely be considered as a replacement for Docker Desktop.

Admittedly, it's also nice to see that Docker and the ecosystem around it is still supported and is alive and kicking, since for many projects out there it's a perfectly serviceable stack with tools that a lot of people will be familiar with, as opposed to having to migrate to podman, while it's still becoming more and more stable, yet isn't quite there yet. Now, that may be a controversial take, and Docker Inc also have their fair share of challenges, about which there was a very nice writeup here: https://www.infoworld.com/article/3632142/how-docker-broke-i...
Yes, I'm factual, not post-factual Marxist.
Absolutely. I once looked at an apartment on IJmuiden beach, it was only a few years old and it looked as if it was 50 years old (and had not been maintained in those 50 years).
I don't mean to offend you but this is very funny. Immigrants from 3rd world countries are often told "why don't you stay at home and fix your own country?" Well, I guess we've come full circle, it's bad everywhere.

This is assuming two shipments is "worse" from Walmart's perspective.

Fulfilling 2 of an item from a store might trigger a resupply, which takes truck space, which pushes other, higher-margins out of stock or into danger levels, etc.

Which isn't to say that Walmart's system isn't "dumb", but is to say that it's a very complex system, operating in realtime, and what look like dumb outcomes may in fact be optimized (according to whatever internal goals their logistics system has).
The intent is to place an upper bound on covid relative risk: <15% of all deaths in every age group. Young adults have lower relative risk, children much lower. For me even 15%, while undesirable, is low enough relative risk to characterize media behavior as 'fear porn'.

How to explain this better? Entering 2020, there were 100 reasons for me to die. Then covid comes along and now there are 115. Not the best news ever, but I'd rather keep living life, especially after vaccines have become widely available.

As you correctly observe, the actual risk may be even lower, because the back-of-the-napkin upper bound estimation does not take in account the risk factors within an age group.
I lived in Lausanne and my commute was non trivial (EPFL is on the edge of Lausanne in the middle of a huge field, no housing nearby, even student housing was at least one stop away). I lived in LA and my commute was just two blocks, a 3 minute walk (got an apartment in Westwood next to UCLA). So I guess my experience is a bit different.
And wait until you get to the edit lists part of the MP4 specs. Some real powerful stuff in that.
That's really interesting, and something I didn't realize. I know in the case of Ryobi and Hart power tools, both are made by TTI. Are you saying in that instance they subcontract out the work, or are you referring to a different class of tools?
What I found interesting about Roman cement is that it was ironically softer than modern cement and had an almost self repairing property, think of ancient docks that had constant waves wearing it down yet lasted hundreds of years.
Same here, I was inspired a lot by this post all these years. I really want to take this chance to say than you to Peter.
My understanding was this prevents people staying around bars and restaurants drinking, and it was (at least informally) accepted knowledge that drunk people don't distance or mask as much
Well, all the energy is eventually converted to heat.
my first comment has a plausible explanation.
It's not a misapprehension: selling tools to tool-makers requires that you walk a very fine line. A lot of closed-source tools have pissed off developers enough to be replaced by usually-superior open-source versions, e.g. Git replacing BitKeeper because kernel developers were not happy with BK.

Outside of very specialized tools, open source tools tend to attract more contributors and quickly overtake incumbents (see compilers). JetBrains is one of the few companies that bucks the trend, and one I gladly give money to regardless of my increasing VSCode usage.

Had Dropbox been marketed at developers only, it would have been a spectacular failure in a world where inotify, rsync, cron and scp already existed.
Put your email in your profile. I can do much better.
You’re making a lot of specious arguments. I think your laymen’s logic checks out just fine here but that’s not how aviation works…and for good reason.

Taking off with 1 of 2 engines is a lot different than taking off with inoperative avionics. The FAA and airlines dictate what minimum equipment is required for any given aircraft to be airworthy and it’s a fairly robust document that takes into account myriad situations and flight conditions.

The problem with this is that if Docker Inc goes under, you can say goodbye to Docker Hub: https://hub.docker.com/

Sure, there are alternative repositories and for your own needs you can use anything from Sonatype Nexus, JFrog Artifactory, Gitlab Registry or any of the cloud based ones, but Hub disappearing would be a 100 times worse than the left pad incident in the npm world.

Thus, whenever Docker Inc releases a new statement about some paid service that may or may not get more money from large corporations, i force myself to be cautiously optimistic, knowing that the community of hackers will pick up the slack and work around those tools on a more personal scale (e.g. Rancher Desktop vs Docker Desktop). That said, it might just be a Stockholm Syndrome of sorts, but can you imagine the fallout if Hub disappeared?

Of course, you should never trust any large corporation, unless you have the source code that you can build the app from yourself. For example, Caddy v1 (a web server) essentially got abandoned with no support, so the few people still using it had to possibly build their own releases and fix the bugs themselves, which was only possible because of source code availability, before eventually migrating to v2 or something else.

Therefore, it makes sense to always treat external dependencies, be it services, libraries, even tools like they're hostile - of course, you don't always have the resources to do that in depth, but for example seeing that VS Code is not the only option but we also have VS Codium (https://vscodium.com/) is encouraging.
They also have an “upgrade” button in docker desktop that means purchase, rather than a version upgrade. I understand that they aren’t the first to call buying a licence an upgrade (although I’m not sure you get much software wise for doing so to warrant the term), but when you closed the update nag screen and then open it, it sort of looks like the button is for that.

Chrome for example has update button in similar placement.
That's the entry fee. And then the real cost starts to roll in. There is a reason so many Youtube channels and Patreon accounts are being used to fund otherwise unviable life-styles of people sailing full time.

It's not, because if you plugged a device needing 600W using an MPX connector, it wouldn't work at all, since MPX can only do 500W.

Here's the thing. When you have a lot of amps, they create noise in wires next to them. They'll also need thick wires and will get hot. When you have a lot of volts, they'll go through shielding and start a fire.

Do you really want to place something with a lot of amps and volts next to something that's transmitting timed high-bandwidth data, like a graphics card? Or run the entire output of your big PSU box that needs a bunch of fans, through the motherboard? For a tower form factor?

The single slot for power and data is convenient for phones and laptops. Not something that's 600W and is going to power a space heater in its next kilowatt+ iteration.

I think that may have been precisely GP's point: The quantitatively-exact-sounding "10x" could possibly be used about an easily-measured well-defined task like brick-laying (which usage could be confirmed by the occurrence of variants like "I'm actually a 12x [or only a 9x] bricklayer"), but not about less well-defined / measurable crafts like programming.
Nah, Redis also has support for evicting keys when it runs out of memory, thus making it a cache.

If a key aspect of this whistleblower’s accusation is Facebook not doing enough to fix foreign hate/misinformation outside the US, then what exactly is the expectation to get out of going through a government investigation?

N50 is part of their old bin location system that told you exactly where on the shelf the item was. In your example it would be the 50th location in the 14th bay (bay N) on that isle. Here is an example of a bin location on a price label

https://i.imgur.com/E0AUjIL.jpg

As part of their modernization to the product locator system they were supposed to remove all the bin location tags (red triangular flags). If they were in fact removed you can count the bays yourself or look for bin locations on other price tags.

I don't know what kind of genius thought getting rid of fine grained location data and replacing it with coarse locations would help improve the customers ability to find items, but it is typical of Lowe's current leadership. They replace a well designed and efficient solution with a half baked solution and then go on to bungle the implementation of said half baked solution.

I for one don't expect to get free tools, but expact that licensing of something (cough elastic, docker cough) doesn't change overnight in a very hostile manner so I feel ripped off.

I for one mostly use GPL or similarly licensed tools for my development workflow to be able to make sure my building infrastructure doesn't rot, and can be completely replicated by someone when I open the code (with a xGPL license, no less).

OTOH, I pay for some good developer tools, since they make my life easier. However, they're not irreplaceable and they're definitely not "code pipeline infrastructure" tools.
I doubt it's for crypto though. Running two cheaper 300W GPUs will be more cost effective. Also serious miners already moved on to ASIC anyways.

> As I'm standing in a Home Depot store struggling to find an item, I can pull up the site, verify they have something in stock, and get a map of the store showing me where that thing is.

I have an iPhone. Their site does not work in Safari; it initially displays an item but a split second later everything just...disappears. I tried it in another browser, same result. I also tried doing the "request desktop site" in both browsers. Nothing. I've also never had more trouble getting a mainstream company's website to work properly in desktop browsers, a problem that has been going on for years.

Our home depot is a thirty minute drive and I used to do a stock check before driving over. Almost every time their stock system said they had multiple of a particular item in stock, nothing to be found and staff could not find the item in question. Last time it happened, I was trying to find a particular power tool and there wasn't a single employee anywhere to help. A manufacturer rep from another company spent 10 minutes of his own time digging through the upper storage. Never saw a single orange apron.

In the decades I've been going to home depot across multiple states I've found their stores poorly laid out, their employees impossible to find, half the stuff I'm looking for is up on the sky-high storage (which employees will whine deeply about being made to fetch stuff from, often making a plainly trivial effort to actually look for something before declaring "it's not here, sorry") and their stock to be abysmal; something even slightly unusual and they'll have a spot for it on the shelf....that is empty.

That connector is really long and wouldn't fit in a number of cases (ITX PCs, servers...). For carrying lots of current, thick cables are just better than PCB traces (especially on PCBs that are mostly designed for signal integrity, not carrying power).
From what I understand, Koka relies on inference, so for example a function with a "while" or a recursive call will be marked as "div". I think the goal is to have the precision of Haskell, and even better, but without forcing the use of monads or something like that.
Greens and some Independents are the only ones who have voted against these bills, so if you have those, they should be higher preferences than the major parties.

If somebody doesn't vote, then they're basically giving a free pass to the incumbent - which if you're in a Liberal, National or LNP seat is literally making things worse in these respects.
Wasn't there a store that was serving up a modified version of their site on in-store terminals with higher prices or something? CompUSA? Or was it Best Buy?

Slightly up now. Tesla has been trending up throughout last quarter by about 150$, 50$ in the last month, and 10$ in the last week. It's now worth more than before the announcements. Not surprising considering another great quarter and the opening party for their Berlin factory last weekend. Of course most big investors would have factored in most of that news already long before any announcements would have been made.
In New Zealand we have a show called Country Calender. It is the 19th longest running TV show in the world, running since 1966.

Every episode is about a different farm, or an interesting person who works the land. You get to see the real challenges of rural life, from established multi-generational farms to city folk who are attempting to farm to old school farmers experimenting with trendy environmental techniques. If someone has tried to farm it in New Zealand, there is probably a country calender episode from saffron to avocado to organic wine.

Hacker news has strong measures to prevent it turning promotional, and it seems to be working
Having worked with both, to me an untalked about advantage of memcached is it's a simpler tool - there are less ways to shoot yourself in the foot with it. From a code point of view the only real choice is whether you let LRU exclusively decide when expiry happens or whether you're attaching expiring times to values.

Meanwhile Redis - used in a large codebase - seems to be tempting for developers to use it in different ways, sometimes as a cache, sometimes as a database. That in turn makes problems for devops who have to start worrying about how different redis instances are being used.

Perhaps I'm just too much of an old goat but to me, reading through all the cool features Redis has, it smells like it violates the Unix philosophy of "do one thing, well" ( https://hackaday.com/2018/09/10/doing-one-thing-well-the-uni... )
Maybe it's a dumb question, but I wonder if material science experts are studying geological processes and try to replicate what nature did.

This is interesting, and one I’ve never noticed.

Would you say “the drum equipment has been set up” vs “the drum kit has been set up”? Or more in the sense “the kitchen has been equipped” vs “the kitchen has been kitted out”?
Yeah, just wow. Here's what I run fine even under load behind a 600W UPS:

* 15-20 arm64 SBCs
* 5 Ryzen nodes
* a handful of HDDs and a decent number of SSDs
* an enterpriseish 48-port PoE switch using 10GBE on some ports
* 5 x86 SBCs (routers)

That's a crazy amount of energy for one GPU used for gaming.

> Because in most legal systems that aren’t that of the ROC itself, the PRC is the recognized government of the single de jure country of “China” that subsumes both the de facto countries of mainland China and of Taiwan. ROC is, in those systems, only and exclusively the de facto government of the de facto country of Taiwan, and not the de jure government of anything, and Taiwan is de jure a province of China.

Which legal systems are you referring to in your last paragraph? The US, for example, does _not_ recognize Chinese claims to Taiwan. They acknowledge that China makes them and has agreed not to have official relations with the ROC, but they've never agreed with the claims nor have they ever made any statement to the effect that the ROC isn't a country nor that the ROC is not a legitimate government.

Frankly I suspect your confusion is a result of a misunderstanding of UN resolution 2758. That resolution said that the PRC gets the seat of "China" at the UN. It never said anything about what the borders of the PRC are. It also never said that Taiwan couldn't become a member as "Republic of China" either. (Of course, since China can block that action unilaterally as a member of the security counsel it's a non-starter.)

Anyway I may be wrong about your misconception, but then I don't know what you mean exactly. The US definitely does not consider Taiwan as a province of the PRC. I can't speak for other countries' legal systems, but at least I'm not familiar with many in Europe that have that legal designation. Sure most don't have relations with the ROC, but that's obviously not the same thing.
