(Semi-)Autonomous open sea cargo ships might be an even better use case. One could imagine totally unmanned ships cruising the planet and delivering goods without putting anybody at risk (or subjecting to the long days of confinment). But one might need people on-board for quite some time: eg mechanics when invariably something breaks down

A canal environment is still quite crowded and maybe the economic motivation rather limited but its probably an excellent test bed
Where are you based? In the UK cheers acts a generic end of conversation, with connotations of friendliness and informality. I tend to use cheers over thanks when I want to imply a friendly/casual tone or when I've helped the other person out. In the latter case it functions the same as 'your welcome' but without requiring the other person to have said thanks first. Cheers communicates the same tone without the risk of coming off as passive aggressive.

This epidemiologist points out several major flaws with that website. For one, the website selectively picks the best result from each paper, which results in the website aggregating a bunch of unrelated measurements, including measurements that were not even each paper's main outcome/measurement. https://twitter.com/GidMK/status/1422044335076306947

>>the exception of the rare swimmer is much less nimble than a pedestrian or biker (and thus more predictable).

The problem is that boats are an absolute pain to turn and are the very opposite of "nimble" too. Yes if you see a swimmer in the water 20m ahead of you they probably won't move very far, but also to avoid them you should have started making a turn about a minute ago. Having done some canal boating in the UK it's just inevitable that you will keep colliding with things, and unfortunately you leave a lot of kayakers pissed off because it's almost always them having to take an evasive action.
No, not everyone was angry about it. Biden, for example, said in January 2020 that it should be "revoked immediately"[1]. There were also other proposals backed by some democrats to limit it, like the EARN IT Act.

From my experience, its the speed that a post gets points/comments that matters. If you get three quick enough you should get on the front page.
> I didn’t mean to insinuate in my comment anything negative towards junior engineers or imply I hate when they ask questions.

That's not how I took it, sorry if this wasn't very clear but my point is that it's difficult on both sides, and it's interesting to share our struggles to see if we can find better ways to transmit knowledge.

> . In general the more something is an “emergent” property or itself only a high level concept (eg “Why do we use Mesos?” “How do we implement load shedding?”) the better it is to ask. The more implementation specific (“Why won’t this compile? What does this error mean?”) the worse it is. It’s not only about the time to find something out but also how it can be found out - whether it’s a web search or codebase search away, or not.

That's a great heuristic.

> The other problem is the senior people you ask may not always know the answer of the top of their head, and in answering your question will have to answer it themselves - typically you want to avoid that too.

I think that may be a good thing in some cases, as long as you don't demand/need the answer now and the question is good. If there's something that even senior people are not clear on, that's an opportunity to clarify things for everyone. I think that's what people mean when they talk about the value of new hires being able to see surprising stuff that feels normal to the people inside.

> For one I would always be more than happy to truthfully answer a mentee’s question regarding if they are asking too much.

That's great!
Why would you downvote something? 'You weren't invited, just move along', exists.
Happy to say, I only ever upvote.
The are looking at things above the water. Boats are in the water. And that is where most autopilots can't help. APs know nothing about tides, currents, waterline obstructions. As a powered boat the Roboat has one of the lowest priorities in Colregs; behind human power, sail, under tow, and limited maneuverability.

There are no lanes to follow in waterways you can pass on the left or right. A big component of waterways traffic is using your mouth, getting on the VHF, and hailing the other captain.
Ridiculous. It's not a false equivalency just because it happened outside vs in a building.

All deaths at J6 were outside as well other than Babbit being murdered by the cop inside, and those outside were accidents not murders.

I think you just don't want to acknowledge that group got people killed for a political stunt, the events are very comparable.
This would be better asked on StackOverflow, or something; HN isn't really the place for this kind of question. But okay, in a nutshell, Charles and other proxies can only work to decode SSL traffic if the whole session goes through them which is why they are called a proxy -- they read the certificate from the external site, decode that site and send it to the browser, and then re-encode the browser response. So your browser, when running Charles, is talking to Charles in clear text, unencrypted. Charles is talking to the HTTPS site.

So someone outside your network and the destination server cannot read your HTTPS calls at all. Someone inside your network could read your traffic if they tricked your browser into talking through a proxy instead of talking directly out across the internet. This is why you should never use captive portals / hotel WiFi that replaces SSL certificates with their own, because they're acting as a proxy for your traffic.

But in broad terms, if you are connecting directly to an external site without use of a proxy, HTTPS is secure end to end.

I cannot remember when a Debian update was slower than a Windows update. And that does not even mention Visual Studio updates, which pull Gigabytes of data. Debian updates are very fast.
Exactly, non-fixed row heights / column widths are a performance nightmare. I have managed to create a super fast Javascript Data Grid. There are many performance tricks, but the first thing I decided was to give each column a fixed with and each row a fixed height.

Be aware that the said antidepressant is an SSRI, which has the potential to cause permanent sexual dysfunction (PSSD) [1]. It seems that we don’t quite understand how the drug works. Most doctors threw this condition out of the window by claiming SD is caused by depression. There have been some recent studies showing possible mechanisms behind it. Some manufacturers and healthcare organisations (NHS) are beginning to label this as a potential side effect. But in general it’s not well known.

I think exercise is more important than diet. There are many examples of people who literally only eat one food (often pizza) and doctors pronounce them surprisingly healthy. Athletes that need lots of calories often consume what would seem like a bad diet.

The numbers still don't add up, you still need to account for the pressure difference (lower on top, higher underneath) due to Bernoulli. The "downwash theory" doesn't give enough lift on it's own.

So it's more complicated than that.
> At least it can't be called a "horse dewormer".

The reference to "horse dewormer" is the fact that a substantial volume of people started actually ingesting horse dewormer bought straight from farm supply stores because ivermectin was listed as a component.

Demand for horse dewormer intended for this ad-hoc use grew so much that its availability was jeopardized, and in some cases ceased to be available to farmers who needed it to treat their cattle.

If you are invited to a dinner, you aren't entitled to eating all the food yourself because the hosts put it on the table, you aren't allowed to do anything you feel like in your host's home, use their toothbrush, drill holes in their walls.

In a similar way, your software is borrowing time and computing resources from your users. You need to use them sparingly and respect that you do not own their hardware, but are a guest they have invited in. It's not your computer to do whatever you want with.
Cargo ships are largely autonomous once underway. They have a small crew of 8-12 members who largely do maintenance, watch, and cook. Then, near shore it's all hands as they prepare the ship for docking.
I did not say it is impossible, but it is not a simpel thing like on a toolkit where you would

1 add a DataGrid widget

2 connect a data provider

3 setup special rendering functions for some columns (only if needed)

4 define sorting functions if needed

And that is all, you get performance, sorting, column resizing, re-ordering for free, you can focus on the business logic and not on creating a DataGrid widget from scratch and fixing bugs for years until you get to 20% of the performance and features of similar desktop native one.

TLDR , web needs widgets like desktop toolkits for people that want to focus on bussiness logic, for the rest they can use more simple things they create themselves or npm install or buy some more cool widgets.

With current web tech we spend to much time on re-creating functionality(not styling), have often you see borken menus or dropdowns on websites? Wouldn't a native dropdown that could be styles or a native menu widget that could be styles would make things much better ?

Oh boy. How I wish so much that other software developers would follow this principle... It seems nearly every software I use and rely on has to change its appearance and interface every 6-12 months, breaking familiarity for no objective reason, and simply because "it looks better" to look at (and not necessarily to use!) to the subjective eyes of someone.

Funnily "How are you?" used to be an actual question in the UK. The shift to it being a generic greeting you don't answer is relatively new and I think an americanism. I remember having the same reaction when I went to Uni 11 years ago, It was a Scottish Uni but something like 15-20% of students were american. They'd ask that passing by and I'd stop to answer leading to several awkward encounters.

That said even when it was a question it was expected that you replied something along the lines of "I'm good thanks, you?". Unless it was a good friend you never replied negatively, though if you had good news it was fine to expand.

One of the things about Hackernews karma system is that a lot of downvotes get filtered out as fraudulent. However, once you are “targeted” that filter is removed and downvotes against you become more powerful. I used to have a very high karma nearing 1000, and then one day it’s like a switch got flipped and my karma began a decline that never stopped, a year later I’ve been completely drained of karma. I might never really recover. It’s a bad feedback loop because when you know nothing you say or do can make things better there is less incentive to be cordial in your messages.
Not OP -- but parent of three.

The primary reason for using specifics ("dad", <name of child>, <name of sibling>, ...) is that pronouns are one of the last things a child will pick up. Think about how a child will always hear themselves referred to as "you" -- and end up assuming that "you" is like a name form them and start using "you" instead of "I"/"me".

In reality, you will be using both specifics and pronouns, and often repeat the same sentence with both versions to teach that they are identical.
You're arguing for charitable interpretations of statements by people who claimed Go didn't need generics or even that Go was better without them, saying that one should be able to change ones opinion without being called dumb. I fully agree.

Similarly, a charitable interpretation of what kubb wrote would be that they are referring to those who might have been dishonest in their defense of Go's lack of generics, which one might say kubb does indicate by using words like apologetes and zealots. The Internet is full of people who pick a team and will say dishonest things in perceived defense of it. I agree with kubb in this regard. That is the charitable interpretation of what kubb wrote, but instead you assumed kubb referred to everyone who ever voiced that opinion and suggested kubb should refocus on what kind of person they want to be.

The Internet needs more of charitable interpretations, and HN in particular. Perhaps I failed to interpret you charitably now? Nuances get lost easily in online debates... :)

You can just as easily turn the comparison around: how many neurons does it take to compute a single 32-bit float multiplication? Clearly a lot, since >99.99% of humans are enable to do it without any tools. Whereas artificial nets rely on trillions of such operations per second. Computers and brains are quite different, but I would say computers are nearer to simulating a brain than vice versa.

There is a code of practice for the roads (Highway Code[0]) and for the waterways (Col Regs [1][2]) apply more informally.

On the river you stick to the starboard, use appropriate nav lights after dark, don't create breaking wash and stay under 8 km/h.

On the road you don't run red lights, cycle on the pavement, cycle behind reversing vehicles with limited visibility mid-manoeuvre, collide with pedestrians, etc etc.

As someone intimately acquainted with both the Oxford waterways and roads I would say that road users in aggregate (mostly bicycles) behave far less lawfully, predictably and safely than users of the the Thames! If I were designing an automonous vechile I think it would be far easier to do it on the water!

> I would rather not go back to C++; I used it a lot in the past, but it was never fun or respectful of my time.

I think Qt and C++ is a very powerful combination; Qt core essentially covers every aspect of the C++ standard libraries so I no longer use the latter; even before C++11 Qt had good solutions to avoid copies of data structures, and to implement efficient callbacks and systematic memory management, and tbh I still use very little of the more recent C++ features; it's also possible to build very fancy looking GUIs using the Qt stylesheets or QGraphics classes if need be. And nearly all code I write runs automatically on all platforms supported by Qt; I even use Qt core on Linux based embedded systems; asynchronous services were supported long before the JS folks got a taste for it. KDE undoubtedly offers some interesting features, but slimness and platform independence are much more important to me.

> but whether they will mature into well-designed cross-platform kits that cover most people's needs remains to be seen. It's not an easy task

I think the mobile use case is too different from the desktop one to provide decent support for both in a single framework. From my point of view Qt (besides Qt core) is only of limited use on mobile platforms, and frameworks like Flutter are (up to now) only of limited use on desktops. Even if the framework would support both in a decent way, the GUI for desktop and mobile must be designed quite differently to be used efficiently; platform-independent GUI code is therefore of little use here.
That might well be the sweet spot, yes.

So I started reading and found this interesting, but then the piece, over and over, keeps on saying "Peter Thiel believes this and this.... however Peter Thiel denies this". Then it goes on to talk about some political theory he wrote about but no one can seem to find it, but tells us what they think is in what he wrote.

Sounds like your typical hit piece to me, but who knows. I think I would rather like to know what Peter Thiels says his beliefs are, rather than what some nobody at the NewYorker says they are.

Exactly, many different JS table/data grid/spreadsheet products out there, but there's not a single one that can "do it all". There's different categories, broadly:

1. A read-only table for presentation purposes, with pagination and sorting options. (DataTables)

2. A read-only data grid that supports high-frequency updates/redraws, for things like Stock or Bitcoin trading. (Ag-grid?)

3. A data grid to edit JSON/Javascript data, with user-friendly spreadsheet-like controls. (DataGridXL)

4. A spreadsheet-product, with features like formulas, merged cells, HTML (images) in cells, pivot tables, etc. (Handsontable?)

I think we have turned this into a point scoring contest rather than clarifying the issue.

To summarise:
Any statement to the effect of "aircraft lift generation is complex" is probably wrong. It is wrong because a high-level picture given by Newton's third law (momentum conservation) is correct and adequately explains lift generation. You do not need to go into the details of velocity or pressure distribution on the wing. You can step back and look the overall airflow and reason about why lift was generated.

> You haven't explained why there is "circulation generated by the wings", you have just stated that there is.

I only mention circulation, to state that both the arguments are similar, just from a different perspective. In my initial post, I reference only Newton's third law (the conservation of momentum). Naturally the source of the circulation is the same as the source of the velocity/pressure distribution. As stated earlier, you do not need these details to explain lift. You do need them to explain phenomenon like stall or drag.

> 8-12 members who largely do maintenance, watch, and cook

I suppose the "cooking" part can be eliminated once you don't need maintainance and watch :-)

"Watch" is an interesting (and solvable?) challenge. Understanding the sea environment (visually, sonar etc) from the local (ship's) perspective can complement e.g satellite imagery. But there is also e.g. watching against piracy

Maintainance seems the toughest. Unless the engineering is perfected to the point that it is only required at ports.
