Ah, must have accidentally skipped of that part. Cheers!

For anyone else: “ While STTARS has previously transported Webb components to other NASA or partner facilities primarily by air, the team chose to transport Webb by sea to Kourou due to the logistics of landing at the Cayenne Airport in French Guiana. The 40-mile (65-kilometer) route between the airport and the launch site features seven bridges that STTARS would have been too heavy to cross. In addition, the drive from the Port de Pariacabo to Webb’s launch site is relatively short. In comparison, a drive from the Cayenne Airport to the launch site, factoring in STTARS’ slow speeds and other constraints, would have taken about two days.”
In their mind it makes sense: firefox is a user facing app that is frequently updated and requires a lot of dependencies. Perfect candidate for a snap.

But yeah, up to now, snaps really sucked, and flatpak is winning.
Still doesn't change the fact that most people lose money while trading and even those who make some profit, they wouldn't surpass most salaries. There is always an outlier.
where everything is easy to use and "just works"

And that's unironically a good thing. To poorly paraphrase Alan Kay, you know a certain piece of technology works when it gets out of the way and becomes second nature.

However we're now encountering one of those pesky questions that we never hear about in sci-fi because it's hard to solve and it's not fun for authors to write about: are we setting up future generations for failure by making technology too easy? And it's most likely "yes". I wonder out loud: are children not getting courses on how to use a desktop computer anymore like they used to in the 90s/2000s? It seems like it. Even if they never encounter having to browse a file system again until they graduate, the fact that it's at least introduced to them while their brains are still terrific sponges would be beneficial.

I've never had to do long division after ~6th grade, but given a few minutes of recall, I can get right back into it because of the rote learning I had.

Haskell allows this too, users can just code everything within IO until they feel comfortable with adding extra purity through refactoring:

main :: IO ()
main = do
myBusinessLogic

myBusinessLogic :: IO ()
myBusinessLogic = do

doThing2

doThing1 :: IO ()
doThing1 = do
putStr "Hello "

doThing2 :: IO ()
doThing2 = do
putStrLn "World"

I am skeptical that this will ever come to pass. It seems like a huge outlay (likely higher than expected) in resources for an unclear benefit. My best guess is this is primarily a PR generator.

I agree it'd be awesome tho; I just don't see it happening.
Also I think snap is an Ubuntu thing vs flatpak and appimage which are more distro agnostic. That's my issue with it/Ubuntu. They are doing good things, but at the same time I don't feel they are as "open" as other linux distros.

Also, snapd is installed by default on their servers and it's not as to remove as it should be.

This is one of the reason that I will always choose a different distro if I have the choice.

The demo tires shown here don't have "removable" sidewalls. They were manufactured without them. The production tires will be one piece, like normal tires.
ECS is entrenched in rogue development in general, at least going by r/roguelikedev. It (or at least a component architecture, if not fully blown ECS) seems to be a good fit since these style of games tend to have a lot of composition (in items, effects, behaviour).

Personally, while my experience is a bit limited, I quite like the ECS style. It just makes logical sense to me as a way of composing entities from different parts. The implementation details (cache friendliness or whatever) are not important to me since I've never made anything of a scale where it matters, but that style of developing/designing how things act and interact is logical to me personally. I haven't watched Bob Nystrom's talk yet though (or, actually, I may have, it seems familiar, but I don't remember any details. I plan to watch it tonight).

With that said, many people find the Godot style more natural and it certainly is nice too.
humbledrone made a nice comment explaining why he (a manager) likes going to the office. WWLink's response was a dickish "yeah but I don't", which is irrelevant, because the point of discussion was why managers like to go to the office, not whether or not ICs like going to the office.

Pretty annoying it requires a proprietary phone app vs just being standalone hardware.

They have over a dozen trackers including TikTok on the marketing page so it should be expected they will be even more invasive if they have privileges on my phone.

This means I have to buy and carry a second phone just for this in order to maintain any reasonable expectation of privacy.
It works out of the box for most hardware, install proprietary things easily, including drivers and codecs, and have more up to date softwares. It also have lots of usability tweaks.

You can, have all that with debian, but then you have to do the work.

Much less exciting, but when I was in high school I discovered an unsecured messaging service that could be accessed via a Web interface. This included the ability to send messages to any user logged in to any machine. And also the ability to broadcast messages to all machines in the school. I was never bold enough to test this feature but word got around after I showed a few friends and eventually someone decided to broadcast a rather crude message about our principal. One thing this student didn't realize is that all messages are logged and the sender was easily found and disciplined.

It could have been a lot of fun if schools in the early 2000s were as well-connected as they seem to be now. We were still working with overhead projectors at the time.

Hybrids as well. The Toyota Prius has had this at low velocities since before EV cars were mass produced (I believe Toyota uses a speaker that makes a sort of sci fi sound). It is a legal requirement to generate a minimum amount of noise to sell a car in some countries.
Sure, the strongest and most adaptable life forms survived each mass extinction event, but our planet itself is middle aged in its “lifespan” of being able to support higher life forms. We (as in life on earth, not just humanity) don’t have much runway for that many more do-overs.
One specific detail that comes up is that Walgreens has specifically ordered its employees to not get involved. Some of the stores have dedicated security, but they tend to get overwhelmed and not all stores are covered all of the time.

The breakdown in enforcement is part of this. Much of the problem is related to the rest of the cycle. That is, even if there are still RFID tags on the stolen items they still get sold in bulk at local street sales and such. There is some hope that enforcement on that end will pick up as the $950 limit is easier to hit and demonstrate and there has at least in SF been some rhetoric about giving sellers and fences some enforcement which might help.

Another thing to keep in mind is that at this point many of those involved are more or less completely outside society. They don't have skills, jobs, housing, family, or traditional networks. That makes enforcement tricky since incarceration is nearly the only tool and that gives them free room and board as well as opportunities for networking and developing their criminal skills like lockpicking and gang organization.
There's another comment in this thread who attended a college talk by the authors of the article. They describe how the faculty attempted to direct the conversation towards discussing equity from the standpoint of redistribution, and the authors kept bringing the conversation back to the pragmatic points that were in the article.

So to me it seems we have a definitional issue with the word. Your interpretation of equity makes sense, and is not something I would be opposed to personally. But then there's the other interpretation (redistribution), which is shared by enough people that it's what I think of when I hear the term.

I don't think there's a right or wrong answer to "what equity means", and it's not a very interesting question anyways. What is interesting is how these two very different ideas became conflated, and how to move forward with the good idea and discard the bad idea.

Railways are cheap if you can pick the route freely and optimise for low cost only.

Every extra constraint adds cost. If you have to cross a mountain range or a river at a specific point, you pay. If you have to enter a city, you pay. If you have to enter a city along a specific route, you pay. If you have to subsidise another project to get someone along the path to accept the proposal, you pay. If you have to support a certain speed, you pay. And so on.

In this case the only constraints appear to be that it has to cross the Bering straits where the tunnel is cheap (well, "cheap") and that it has to connect to the railway networks in each country it passes through. That's a lot of liberty for >10⁷ meters.

It's two days nonstop for a high-speed train or four if the route is optimised for cost of construction.

My advice? Go with OpenBSD.

These are the folks that brought you the word 'hackathon', and OpenSSH. (Ever use ssh? Thank OpenBSD.)

These are the folks that actually bother to read not just a PR, but actual full codebases, just to make sure their pointers don't dangle.

It's been years since the DevOps space was first told to prefer 'livestock' -- disposable, nearly-identical instances -- to pets -- long-lived customized instances and servers -- but as every farmer knows, if you have lots of sheep, the job is a lot easier if you have a sheepdog. Not quite a pet, but not cattle, either.

OpenBSD is my sheepdog. It keeps my git repos, it runs my wireguard VPN, and it, above all the other systems I touch, is trusted.

But trust is ultimately about people, not about systems. Systems get their trusthworthiness from their creators, the way the moon gets light from the sun.

And in trustworthiness, the OpenBSD community has a breathtaking superpower: They can say no. They are good at saying no. Do you know how hard that is -- to have someone ask for a feature, and just tell them off? That's the hardest thing any manager ever has to do, and these guys are good at it. Rare, in FOSS space.

These are the folks that are so good at saying 'no' that they ship with a literal actual bespoke copy of 'vi', that does exactly what it is supposed to, does not take packages, and also does not have a package manager pulling in raw github HEADs. (I love you, neovim, but you are so trusting!)

OpenBSD has been around for most of my 20+ career in this industry and it's sort of always been this aggressively reliable paperweight of a distro. I'm never quite sure what to do with it (NixOS is my go-to for my workstations -- NixOS + Wayland + Sway + Alacritty + Neovim is as close to godliness as a user interface can come) but OpenBSD finds its uses, and in those uses, it is smooth and heavy and reliable, making it the perfect foil for the rest of my infra: For where NixOS is neurotic and brittle, OpenBSD is saturnine and
malleable.

I think of my infra as sort of being like a knife blade, with a glittering Nixos/Wayland/Neovim edge supported by a soft, heavy core of OpenBSD.

If everything else breaks, so long as I have my OpenBSD instances, I can recover.

One final word: At my end, I just finished upgrading my instance at openbsd.amsterdam; big shoutout to that amazing team for their incredible support. (Mischa, in particular, is a force of nature, and I am fan. ;D)

There is no threshold for harm*. It's a cost:benefit consideration. From a cancer/aging perspective, any amount of UV exposure is bad. Tanning is a consequence of DNA damage. If your skin gets darker from sun exposure, you see evidence of your skin cells reacting to increased DNA repair signals. Malignant transformation/senescence is a stochastic event of course, but age markers pretty much suffer in a dose dependent manner.

* Of course exhausting antioxidant capacity will greatly increase damage at a certain point. I am not exactly sure if UV light can cause single strand breakage by itself, or via ROS, but antioxidants are no "shield" in any case - more like a minefield.

"""

I am an engineer working in the tire industry (throwaway is needed here). The Michelin "Tweel" IP was actually acquired when Michelin bought BF Goodrich 31 years ago. Goodrich developed the concept as a replacement for compact spare tires, doing the initial R&D in the 1980s. Every 3--5 years Michelin has a press release like this, and the technology is always 3--5 years away from release. Currently the US DOT and it's equivalents abroad are still in the rulemaking phase regarding airfree technologies, so there's that, too.

By that definition, almost nothing but the vacuum of space is airless. Even a galvanized rubber hockey puck is going to have some amount of air in it.

Airless in this case means that they don't use pressurized air for rigidity, and therefore they do not need to be engineered to maintain air pressure, thereby reducing material input, and removing a major failure mode.

They are wheel-shaped springs.
First and foremost, package recency.

If you run stable, which is released as snapshots ala Ubuntu, the packages are ancient.

If you run testing, which is a rolling distro ala Arch, they're a lot newer and pretty solid, but security updates lag.

If you run unstable, which is also rolling, things can (rarely) break.

Additionally, Ubuntu has decided to incorporate non-free software and drivers right into the base product, which gives a better out-of-the-box experience. In Debian this is all opt-in and requires a bit more effort.

Now, I run Debian testing on my laptop, and I'm a huge fan of the distribution, not the least because Debian is the bedrock on which at least a half a dozen other distros are built. But I can acknowledge that their more conservative approach to packaging does have its downsides.
I have. Front tire blew out, caused the car to swerve uncontrollably to the right. Luckily no one was there an I knew not to slam on the brakes but to downshift instead.

But yes, in many cases it just drags the car. None the less, it can cause huge issues.

The language, in general, wants you to be explicit about what you're working with. So implicit access to interface members isn't a thing, you need to say that "x is this interface type" or cast.

In F# 6 things are changing a bit, and may possibly change in the future. There are various classes of cases where the type information is known, but the compiler still required you to explicitly cast things to be happy. That's no longer case. This link[0] has 3 examples that don't compile with F# 5 but will compile with F# 6.

It is not. They're better than most – and I know that's not a high bar, but they clear it by a wide margin. Nonetheless, their software is better described as "open core".
Same situation. I usually pride myself on having good situational awareness, but something about the shock of suddenly having a flat on a major highway took it out of me. I replaced my front right tire, pulled back into the slow lane, only to finally realize my back right tire had also been blown out. I called roadside assistance, left the car there, and Uber'd home.

With recent versions of chrome/firefox and 3d acceleration on amd/intel graphics, you're not limited to "basic surfing".
