There’s actually several small to medium effects on any spacecraft in orbit around earth. There will be tiny perturbations from the interaction of earths electromagnetic field as it moves through it slowly, there’s atmospheric drag on solar panels and the spacecraft body that can create “aerodynamic” torques related to what the normal orientation is relative to the earth. There’s even smaller perturbation from the solar wind… some spacecraft have a thing (or can fudge one using some part of the electrical subsystems) called a “magneto-torquer” which is basically a solenoid/electromagnet designed to tug on the earth’s magnetic field so they can trade electrical power for physical force.

It’s a pretty cool thing that seems to be happening more and more frequently with spacecraft flight dynamics teams developing such a detailed model of all these forces that they can invent new “stable modes” like the one they used in this article, or the Kepler missions K2 mode where they found another useful mode instead of just ending the mission. It’s not as dramatic as something like a solar sailing mission, but I think it’s a pretty awesome technical achievement, like watching a trained stuntman drive a car on two wheels through a slalom course, like a form of highly skilled, kinetic, robot based gymnastics.

Adjacent comment already has a list of concrete libraries/frameworks for large number of areas, so I just want to mention that nim has a very good metaprogramming capabilities, and if the /language/ itself does not feel up to the task you have a lot more freedom when it comes to implementing things. So it really comes down to the community size and amount of money poured in the development, and not fundamental problems with the language design.

This is mostly an argument about "technically you can write anything with anything", except in nim's case it is also backed by extremely high flexibility.

EDIT: by flexibility I mean

- different backends they covet very huge ecosystems (Js and C, and by extension anything they you can interface with using C (like python))

- already mentioned metaprogramming

- support for low-level convenience features like custom operators

- different memory management options. If you want you can turn off automatic mm completely and write code that deals with pointers and stuff like that directly

- more niche things like support for embedding nim interpreter in your programs https://peterme.net/using-nimscript-as-a-configuration-langu...

I'm expecting to be in a position where I could meaningfully influence any acquisition or merger (let alone a 125 million USD one), but knowing when to shut your mouth is a valuable skill to have in many situations.

I'll try to keep this in mind whenever I realize that I'm overexcited (which I tend to be).
I mentioned it because I was doing online mapping in 1999, when things were as you describe. In my spare time, I built the obvious thing that occurred to everybody, and came up with a draggable map with momentum. (In the browser, just like gmaps)

Google maps was still years away. And tile server tech wasn’t quite there to ship it yet. But it was the obvious thing to build, and not in any way a mystery as to how you’d do it.

My comment was specifically about people that need them prescribed. For pain relief, injuries, chronic pain, and so on. Opioids are very effective and are vilified for no good reason, along with a few other classes of substances.

I wouldn’t say so. It’s just a complex environment with many moving parts, not the least of which includes a last minute swap of type of aircraft.

Ironically, it’s our human limitations which allows us to build systems which we can’t comprehend in entirety, but then our other positive human behaviors we use to identify problems (such as the passengers seated differently from the load sheet) which can save us.
When I’m in student mode, I do think to myself “how much of what I’m reading/hearing is from direct observation and thought, and how much is (conveniently) not as well considered?”

I read authoritative stuff such as what is highlighted in parent comment all the time in my studies. It makes sense, since that’s the voice we expect educators in info sharing contexts to have. But like… We “know” today that inheritance leads to bad outcomes… But what would have to be true in a student to be able to “know” this back then? To ask differently, what am I learning today that will be seen as a mistake over time?

I’ve learned over time to listen when being educated and be very critical when attempting to integrate knowledge.

Risky. I did it. I definitely cannot do it anymore. It's reasonably likely that it would literally kill me.

I don't know for sure that it caused my later serious health problems, but I do know that the incurable chronic illness that knocked me completely out of the workforce for a couple of years is statistically more likely to occur in (1) people who exercise unusually hard for an extended period and (2) people who work unusually long hours for an extended period.

I did both.

I went to work at Apple in 1988. Within a year I was working on stuff I was extremely interested in, and motivated to work hard on. I started putting in quite long hours.

In 1991 or so I joined the Newton team and was even more motivated.

Meanwhile, I also owned and taught in a martial arts studio where we learned complicated formal sequences, sparred every day with hard contact, and maintained a grueling conditioning schedule. Until I joined the Newton team I was in the studio teaching or assisting five hours a day, six days a week. I cut back a little when I joined Newton.

For two years my daily schedule was up between 5 and 6 AM and into the office for coding. Off to the studio at 5PM most weeknights, back at the office after 10. Home to bed sometime between midnight and three. Up at 7AM Saturday for the studio, and off after 1PM. On Sunday I rose at about 9 and took my family to brunch, then went home to sleep the rest of the day.

I liked it at the time. I was very strongly motivated both by the Apple work and the martial arts activity. What I learned in the long run is that hellish work is not less hellish merely because you enjoy it. The enjoyment simply conceals from you what you're doing to yourself.

I don't expect my reports to persuade anyone. The same thing would not have persuaded me. I could even be wrong: you could be the rare superhuman ultraworker, able to thrive in circumstances that would grind most people to paste.

On the other hand, I thought that was me, and it didn't turn out to be true. In the clear light of hindsight I don't know why I was ever foolish enough to think it was. Garden-variety motivated reasoning, most likely.
Not exactly! This just applies to "local" hidden variables. See Bohmian mechanics for one which uses non-local hidden variables (i.e, not values at each spatial voxel but values per wavefunction, spread out over it) (from that description you can also imagine the problems this theory has in integrating with relativity).
SEO Strategies
The main objective of any site improvement procedure is to get your site pages listed. Yet, even before that can occur, you need to get the web index crawlers to visit your site.

Contingent upon the web index or registry and the general conditions (how you welcome and request crawlers), that first visit could require days, weeks, or even months.

And keeping in mind that the facts really confirm that the underlying crawler visits can be fairly flighty (or consume a large chunk of the day in coming), when the ice is broken, future visits can be controlled somewhat...

Fundamentally, the more as often as possible you update your pages, the more every now and again the crawlers will appear on your site doorstep. Obviously, that is just a large portion of the fight. The other half is getting the web crawlers and registries to really file your pages.

To do that, you need to begin toward the start. What's more, the start in this specific example is creating and improving pages so that the internet searcher crawlers will be dazzled.

The general pursuit measure is straightforward... All the text content that web search tool crawlers accumulate is put away and filed. Individuals lead look dependent on specific expressions (watchwords). Whatever content has the most pertinence concerning any given catchphrase will be set in the top places of the query items.

I think Einstein had some wrong ideas in the area of quantum mechanics. While I don't think we have a perfect understanding of entanglement, it has been demonstrated in many experiments. Einstein didn't like this "spooky action at a distance". He was also quoted as saying "god does not play dice with the universe" in regards to the fundamental randomness that seems to underlie QM.
You say "empty", but each of the listed uses links to a project as evidence, and the claim is followed up with specific evidence about small binaries, fast compile times, native performance, multiplatform targeting, etc.

> is there something in about article

The article is pretty clear but the term is vague, as the article itself states.

What is core to the term? Can I be pro social-reform and anti-technology, and be Progressivist?

We can speculate about what Soto the author meant, but a well-written essay would have thrown in a sentence or two to remove ambiguity and get the reader up to speed.

I'm a bit frustrated by that, because it's a debate I would like to have.

So, for the record, I think it's a stretch that aesthetic constraints on architecture are an attack on social reform. In a way, requiring government buildings to be aesthetically pleasing is arguably pro social. But, again, the specific text of the EO would help us understand better whether this EO is an attack on anything at all related to "social reform" or "progress" in any respect.

I'm going to just go ahead and guess that this essay is a tribal chest-thumping rallying cry wherein true statements are secondary to the primary purpose of staking out a political view. That's why nothing is defined. It's not the purpose.

Too bad. It's a neat debate topic.

Not a db expert. How would such failure occur? How other db would handle it? It's not like other db's don't get corrupted, you can search `database-name corrupted` and find people trying to get help, usually the suggestion is use a backup instead of trying to fix it, so what does it matter how often it fsyncs?. Would PostgreSQL help me in OVH data center fire?

What does it matter if it writes before or after, the op was either success or failure, and then the server crashed with whatever state was in RAM (which is moot by now, since the server is down).

I haven’t used nim outside of some hello world toying a few years back. Is compiling actually that fast? I thought the nim compiler compiled to C and then called gcc (or whatever system compiler), isn’t that slow in practice?

Absolutely. You find this in the section "Choosing a phone".

How to run those benchmarks?

At that Nim release page:

https://nim-lang.org/blog/2021/10/19/version-160-released.ht...

Is link to this benchmark:

https://web-frameworks-benchmark.netlify.app/result

Where nim is 2nd with 200k req/s, but it is using httpbeast:

https://github.com/dom96/httpbeast

That says it would be more useful to use jester:

https://github.com/dom96/jester

Jester has 150k req/s.

But, when looking at these:

https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/

drogon, actix etc has about 600k req/s .

Also redbean has about 600k req/s, when I tested:

https://redbean.dev/

I tested like this:

git clone https://github.com/wg/wrk.git

cd wrk

make

./wrk -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip' -t 12 -c 120 http://127.0.0.1:8080/

When I tested https://caddyserver.com v2, it did show about 800k req/s.

It would be very helpful to know how those benchmarks are actually done, so that I could compare what is actually fastest in real world, and not just use some for benchmark tested winning non-realistic code.

As if "json" is any more searchable. Operators have a meaning that you learn quickly when learning the language. You wouldn't do math with "multiply" instead of "*", so why would you want that in a programming language?
Yes, this is something I should have mentioned as well, Nim does a lot of things just right and adds all the right things so it stays out of your way, is not too verbose but still has enough safety guards where you can just do what you want to do.

Yes, you can argue that he could have just kept his mouth shut and still honestly taken the Yahoo deal, but he said what he thought was right and gave Yahoo some good judgement about pg's team.

I recently interviewed with a number of firms, and the ones that give off the best impression are the ones who ask to integrity at some point in the process. Hopefully this won't turn into the next "what's your greatest weakness" of interview questions. But firms doing the same thing in the same industry can often have a very different feel to them, and this is one of those things that might change your impression.

Can you SSH into the server? Or alternatively, manage the server with a locally connected keyboard and monitor? Or is this some kind of NAS box that does not allow you to do any of those kinds of things?

"Person of colour", in my corner of the UK, is considered as bad as "coloured", for the same reason really: it "otherises" anyone who's not white, presuming that the world is made of "whites" and "others".

But really these things are not really logical in most cases. Ad es. blacks are blacks, but then you have "asians" who are not "east-asians" nor "south-asians", "latinos" that definitely did not originate from anywhere near the Italian peninsula, "white-irish" as different from "white-british", etc etc. In the inevitable public-authority forms, these days I'm often tempted to just tick "Mixed-other" - I'm whiter than daisies, but in my blood there are probably a dozen different "types of people" who invaded Italy through the centuries (africans, germans, etc etc).
Right, the reaction wheels help if you want to maintain orientation of the satellite under external forces that want to (gently!) rotate it. And eventually your reaction wheel saturates and you can't get more useful rotation out of it.

This is where thrusters are useful, because you can use the thrusters to give you a "source of force" while you spin the reaction wheels back down. I believe this is where the original parent's question is coming from - if you have no thrusters, how do you avoid saturation?

Presumably, they've worked out a way to accurately predict the external forces and gently operate against them while spinning the wheels down in a way that doesn't make the satellite spin faster.
