end-to-end encryption means that the underlying data is visible only on both ends, hence safe to transport via any medium. if for instance someone performs MITM, anywhere along the line, won't allow them to decrypt the data.

replacing certificates requires control of either machine, in which case you'd have bigger problems.

then there's the question of how secure is the encryption, which is a rabbit hole of it's own: key size, random generator effectiveness, correct padding, correct implementation or even which layer eg. HTTPS still has exposed SNI, and it goes on and on...

Dating app that actually lead to dates. Preferably with people who are of interest to me and of who I am of interest to. Dating has been an issue my entire life - I’ve only ever managed to be in one relationship and that wasn’t until I was 26 (I’m 31 now). I’ve never even really had so much as a conversation on a dating app and I’ve used them for years!

It’s not like I do well in real life either - it’s ultimately that most dating apps just amplify what I already experience in real life. I’m not physically attractive (5’10”, 120-135lb) and so I have always had a very large uphill battle trying to combat traditional western beauty standards. But if someone could figure out an app that got me out on dates - I’d pay that $1000+.
> So its ok to plan for it but pretend it only exists for that one thing they contracted if for, and ignore if for everything else.

No one here is saying "NASA should ignore Starship for everything else".

I'm saying that NASA isn't "failing to understand" Starship when they don't push all their chips to the middle of the table on Starship. You can't use the fact that NASA was willing to make a $2.9B bet on Starship as evidence that they should have been willing to go all-in on Starship.

It'd be like saying if you wager me $1,000 on an outcome, then you should also be willing to bet your house on it. That's not how risk works!

Would I personally like to see NASA continue to evaluate and select Starship for future programs? Yes!

Would I personally like to see NASA start kick off early concept-phase work for payloads that would be enabled by Starship? Yes!

Do I think that NASA decided not to completely re-orient everything that they do around Starship right now means they don't understand Starship? No! Of course not! It means there's too much risk right now around doing that.

I learned about `command -v` just now reading this article. I only knew of `which` and `type` (as well as the very convenient `=executable` syntax that expands to the path of the binary, but I think that's a zsh-ism).

What makes `command -v` not machine friendly? It seems to always output just the PATH, unlike type which tries to be human friendly.

No examples of policy, law, or any specifics how this group is "entrenching inequality". This is more reductive single factor race blaming. Nothing regarding how many of the 9.9% inherited this class status, so how is this an Aristocracy?

Demonizing merit seems like a terrible strategy for a society.

> It's silly how often employers overlook the "I just really want to be part of/build this" factor. People with that make for excellent teammates.

Every startup I've been a part of has picked up a few extremely passionate but not necessarily fully qualified people along the way. It's hard to turn down an enthusiastic candidate who really, really likes your company, so they're often given a chance.

Some of them turned out to be excellent teammates who did everything necessary to grow into the role.

But sadly, many of them just wanted to be startup people without doing the startup grunt work. Worst case, someone with a lot of passion that goes in a different direction than the founders can become a drag on the company or create a lot of conflict. (NOTE: I'm speaking generally, not implying this is the case with the linked author)

Passionate people are generally good when their skills and wants align with the company, but if they're not well-aligned then the passion just amplifies every conflict.

Äh:

And just btw, just because a program starts, doesn't mean its 'greenlitt'. This is not AT ALL. How NASA is funded.

In fact NASA has to fight for budget every year. So literally every year they need budget allocation to continue development of the different element they need.

> So looking at the planned timelines, Artemis I will circle the moon next year, and a crewed landing is planned for 2024, while star ship does not have a planned launch to orbit yet.

Starship is LITERALLY required to land on the moon. NASA has only 1 way to land humans on the moon and its LITERALLY Starship.

And the first orbital test launch is planned for this year.

> Also on a personal note, I am utterly astonished that there will be people on the moon before the subway station down the street is operational.

The 2024 timeline is not really realistic, 2026 maybe.

Subway are a political problem, not a technological one.
I've been trying to build a remote dev setup using code-server [1] on a 2017-ish iPad Pro 10.5" and a Logitech K380 keyboard for when travelling and when on the indoor bike. I have code-server running in a big fat docker container with language SDKs, utilities, fish shell with custom prompt, etc. installed as well, and it works great in a desktop browser, but I can't quite get it to be fully usable on the iPad. It seems this still has a bunch of very rough edges.

Using code-server in iPad Safari means Cmd+N etc. won't work and also losing very precious display real estate to Safari's UI. Adding it to the home screen and launching from there solves that, but now switching to Safari and back causes keyboard input to stop registering at all in code-server. The Serverediter [2] app doesn't have that issue, but its UI and parts of the code-server UI will jump around for a second when Cmd-Tab-ing to it, which is pretty unnerving.

Then there's connectivity: Apparently background SSH tunnels get killed by iOS after a while. Serverediter has its own SSH client, but port-forwarding any other ports than code-server's doesn't seem to work. Not being able to expose a running web service on my local device makes lots of things infeasible. Maybe I'd need a separate VPN between the code-server machine and my iPad? But that adds more complexity to an already quite complex setup. And finally, https with self-signed certs isn't exactly a walk in the park with iPads (I can't use letsencrypt), but without it I believe the clipboard won't work right.

I realize there are SaaS offers that will make some (or most?) of these issues go away, but those don't seem to be all that customizable, and since I'd use this for personal projects that don't earn any money, keeping costs down is a priority as well (so if I can self-host on hardware I already have, I'd rather do that).

So while I totally get the appeal, I really wonder how others make it work for them. It doesn't seem to be quite as straight-forward as the blog posts made it look.

Depends on what you consider a "port" to be. Sure, a shoddy good-enough-for-wartime place where ships can dock can be built in a few months. Building a decent container port with proper container cranes, train yards and the software to integrate it all in a couple of months? That capability has never existed.

Open secret: dang encourages using archive links to bypass paywalls on a site where people complain that content creators should get their fair share
Sometimes, people can't be on the latest version of software due to various compliance and regulatory issues, and updating anything to a new version requires some kind of re-certification or new auditing. So, when supporting such users, you need to work carefully on balancing their inability to update, versus yours to move ahead.

Hacking on some projects or experiments is one thing, but say you're providing code for the automotive industry or the payment card industry; you're in for a world of regulatory hurt.

Structa: A utility for analyzing repeating structures in large data sources
The article is really interesting, but the stress the author expresses about the potential downfall of NASA seems misplaced. This is just creative destruction at work. If NASA can adapt to capitalize on the new paradigm, then it will, and there will be NASA logos everywhere in future space stuff. If not, then NASA will fade away, and some of us will wax nostalgic about how cool NASA seemed when we were kids but nobody will really care because humanity will have moved far past the limited space exploration that was possible to-date.

Like most old US government programs, NASA is fully of wasteful political constraints - for instance, facilities scattered around the country and to satisfy pork-barrel politics and get random senators to support the overall program. I think NASA is still a net good, and I'd love to see it adapt, but if it fails to adapt, that probably just means the institutional dysfunction between Congress and NASA administration was too great, and even though it will be a little sad, it will still be a net win for humanity to replace that dysfunction with a new wave of highly functional new players.

> You won't go "cold turkey" to see if things go back to normal unless you fire the psychiatrist because frankly, in America at least, psychiatrists are pill pushers and, unless you are wealthy and will pay out of pocket, you will only get insurance covered therapy with a cheaper psychologist or social worker.

This is just not my experience, sorry. Perhaps this is true of the majority and I got lucky, or perhaps you have had some very negative experiences worth sharing, but I have never felt pressured to do anything I didn't want to do. After I tried duloxetine, I waited several months before trying anything again (except the buspirone which, as I mentioned, I'd been on the whole time). I met with my psychiatrist regularly during that time. It was all covered by insurance.

In fact, going directly from one SSRI to another without cross-tapering is not standard practice and can be quite debilitating. If your physician did this to you, they were not doing their job correctly.

> Psychiatrist are only there for quick discussions about medication. The time intensive talk therapy is done by someone less expensive.

True, but not really relevant, I think. If medication is what you want, a psychiatrist is who you should have. Choosing the right one can be a challenge, I agree, but that doesn't make their profession not valuable.
In this case Project Gutenberg blocked German IP ranges to try to avoid legal issues (and since they wanted to make a point didn't only block the material under debate but their entire site).

>> There is no surviving portrait of Michell; he is said to have been "a little short Man, of a black Complexion, and fat".

Only if you assume that describing someone as having a "black Complexion" sometime between 1731-1764 has the same meaning as if an American used phrase in 2021 (e.g. having Sub-Saharan African ancestry). I think there's a fairly high likelihood that assumption is wrong.

No, it doesn't. That's a leap to a conclusion. Why not just stop doing that, and wait for the data?

I spend a lot of time agonizing over what I want to write, trying to desperately narrow the space of possibilities until I have the design[1] sharp in my head, and only then I'm able to actually write anything in that empty file.

You're assuming that the people who are throwing tantrums on planes are premeditating enough to prepare by bringing weapons. Yet if they had those kind of planning faculties, they would realize that flipping out at flight attendants doesn't further their cause at all.

Alternative take: the people throwing tantrums have reached their breaking point from the stress of being in a totalitarian environment [0]. And all the security theater of airports is a major and needless contributor to that stress.

It sounds to me like the bottleneck is wages paid to truckers, and probably other workers in the supply chain. The US has a ~$600 Billion trade deficit. It never really made sense to me that we could continue to massively import goods from rest of world (mostly China)...without eventually reaching some sort of labor parity where delivering those goods all the way around the world didn't make economic sense, and especially political sense, as the gains, whatever they are, mostly accrue to multi-national corporations profit margins and stock prices.

It seems, much of this is built upon a foundation of crappy wages and under-investment in the people and infrastructure it all functions on top of. Doesn't sound sustainable as structured, and for many reason we should invest in labor and domestic production more than we have been. Inflation, like in the 2008 oil price spike leading to domestic production, might end up being the catalyst to this change.
I followed this and from my understanding the changes while enacted quickly are still only temporary (rollback in 120 days). If that's the case, I'd like "them" to think about how this situation could have been avoided all together. I can't help but thinking about how all the Asian markets were having similar log jams due to economies reopening and the Suez issue months ago. Surely it was known (or, could have been known) that that log jam was tsunami wave heading to LA?

I'm not sure if stacking 5-6 high is a long term solution. It works now, because it's only at 2 high and the buffer is available. But if they were at 5-6 high under normal circumstances when this tsunami wave hit we'd be talking about letting them go 8-9 high? Maybe limit them to 2 high but allow them to file a temporary permit to go to X high with justification... something along those lines, so it is a rather accessible flex up and down and it doesn't require extreme levels of non-local politics to accomplish.
