Aviation 100LL is 0.56g of lead per gallon. Small Cessna 172 burn ~10 gal/hr in flight.

Presumably taxiing and take off burn a few gallons, so 1gm of lead dispersed over a pretty wide area. So at any given point in the area your overall exposure is low.

We, as technologists, shouldn't have gotten herded like cattle into the abusive iOS ecosystem. It's extortion.

Many of us hate iOS, Apple's taxation, and Apple's asinine rules with a burning passion. But we have no choice but to develop for the OS that 50% of Americans choose. It sucks.

It's as if AOL won and we had to build what Time Warner wanted and had to pay 30% of our revenues.

It's as if we're living in a Steve Baller hellscape, but everyone worships it because it was from the other Steve.

The modern tech ecosystem sucks.

Ada is a language that has been on my "todo list" of languages for awhile (just after FORTH). I generally hate this term, but Ada does kind of look like a language that was "ahead of its time", specifically in regards to concurrency.

What's really surprising to me is that right below Chicxulub in intensity on that list are the recent Indian Ocean earthquake in 2004 and the one in Japan in 2011. They're both only about 1/10th the total energy, but still it's a lot more than I would have guessed.

I was given a C64 with a case of floppies by a friend. It had been sitting in their attic not doing anything. The friend is also a nerd and was given it by a widow after her husband died as she "didn't know any computer stuff." Really weird feeling going through this guy's documents that survived.

Sadly something got shot on the board and I don't have the EE skills to fix or diagnose.

Slightly off topic...

I read about Poseidon a few weeks after it first became public, so it's been a bit now.

Do we happen to have any indication as to whether or not the US military/DoD is internally at all seriously scared/concerned about it?

I've been anecdotally told by a very old DoD engineer who was somewhat familiar with things - that when the soviets first came out with their heavily armored multi-hull submarines, there was actually great concern about the fact we didn't at the time have technology to ensure two torpedos could near simultaneously hit within the required radius to pierce all the way through.

A lot of engineering hours went into making the targeting systems of the torpedos capable of doing so. Or maybe he was full of shit, who knows.

It just seems like Poseidon is quite the threat, but we haven't heard too much concern about it yet.
Methane, nitrogen, and neon wouldn't be too bad from a toxicity perspective, though neon would be expensive, and nitrogen isn't all that great in terms of density.

While methane is a greenhouse gas, as the article mentions, the amount used for balloons under any realistic scenario is going to be dwarfed by the megatons of methane that enter the atmosphere from natural processes (and, of course, natural gas is mostly methane). It's also dirt-cheap.

From what I've read/heard, reusing blueprints to a house is one of the more economical ways of building a new house. You start with a pre-made blueprint that has the necessary approvals, and do modifications to it as you please. Usually this should result in less bureaucracy to get the house built than designing from scratch.

You have the absolute oddest set of risk management practices I've tried to wrap my head around, but to each their own I guess. I don't see the sense in trusting a global supply chain that's built on JIT principles to a paradigm where your first reaction is "welp, scuttle it". Those TEU's may not be the most glorious things, but they are the inputs that keep modern civilization going. To do otherwise... Well... It just rings foolhardy to me. Might look good on the ledgers, but doesn't make good sense or shake out in the real world.
Thanks. This is a much more interesting read. It doesn’t seem like an obviously bad idea. Perhaps some amount of being too ambitious, some amount of bad luck (WeWork, Greensil), some amount of mismanagement (slow execution, acquisition issues) - but nothing that says the idea was fundamentally bad.

The idea of declarative web components really should happen. There was a strawman proposal a bit back:

https://github.com/WICG/webcomponents/blob/gh-pages/proposal...
If something is not available you try to make things work without it. The videos play just fine until the user attempts to seek. At that point playback is terminated.

Thus therefore as a result thereof the reason forwhich one can not put a video on the website is that playback may be terminated unexpectedly. It's just too embarrassing, I don't want to see myself explain why it doesn't work to anyone.

You can disable controls entirely or javascript the seek event but I don't consider those nice solutions. The video player should work by default. The millions of crappy web devs simply want to use it without investigating the weirdness and hacking up some event listener to allow seeking in already downloaded parts. Or is that seeking backwards only? I don't want to know the answer honestly.

Perhaps I should just offer a download? Just like things use to work? But then the browser may play it in a tab and pretend seeking is supported again.

Ah! So I have to use the old forced binary file download with application/octet-stream so that the user can watch the video in a different player. One with expected behavior.

I just want to drop the file in a folder and send the link to someone. Adding a header to it is already asking to much.

I could see myself bother to provide multiple formats in multiple sizes because that is an actual hard problem (I'm lying to be polite here)

I love reading write ups like this. It's an extremely empowering feeling to realize that all these opaque software and cryptic errors are ultimately also written by fellow programmers. You CAN understand it, you CAN take matters into your own hands.

I remember once, a few years back, there was this website where I was supposed to submit something, only that the submission page couldn't load. My friend thought that that was the end of it, but I decided to try to poke around.

Back then I was quite unacquainted with http but I started with what I knew, downloading the page source, figuring out what was the link or call that was failing, then testing it with curl. I eventually managed to figure out that the problem was caused by a missing header in the http request so I installed some random browser extension that patched http requests and voila, it worked!

Still remember the amazing feeling when the page loaded. My friend thought I was a wizard

You keep on asking for examples of law but you just refuse to acknowledge that there are some things which are not written in a rulebook anymore but they are still followed by racists.

Our fundamental disagreement is that you believe in survival of the fittest, you believe that fittest group should freely abuse and torture another group and the children of fittest group should enjoy the fruits of that crime. You just keep dancing around it instead of saying it directly.

As a closing message, I am part of that group which you consider successful in the US and the fact is the issues which you mention are still not comparable slavery and lynching and other horrible things which the group you support have done.

I meant that no one pays attention that, for example, a teapot is "he", there's no meaning behind it.

>Generally, nouns ending with an "a" are feminine, with an "o" are neuter, the rest are masculine.

It's a rule of thumb, but it's incomplete.

"Starosta" & Co. are masculine, neuter nouns also end in -e (except for "kofe"); nouns which end in a palatalized consonant can be either feminine or masculine; there are words like "sudia" or "umnica" which can be masc. or fem.; some words like "nozhnicy" only have plural form and don't have gender.
Would you believe that a text-to-speech program was suffering if it told you so?
I guess they can easily identify tor vs normal firefox(Especially with tls fingerprinting probably used by cloudflare). But the goal of fingerprinting is mostly to distinguish user. There can be sane use like collecting fingerprint to stop bot attacks from registering. But as we know selfish society today they are mostly used to collect data and show ads. And egregious browser like chrome has no incentive to solve this problem.
The paradox of tolerance arises because (neo)nazis want to abolish free speech, indeed they want to abolish entire groups of people.

What is legally protected as speech and what is actually speech cannot be equal. For instance, speech that involves property damage is not protected, even though that is a common kind of speech in certain circumstances (e.g. graffiti "Romans go home")

Conversely, some groups abuse free speech protections in order to intimidate others, e.g. Westboro Baptist church picketing funerals. I would call this an action because the primary intention is not expression but rather intimidation.

It may be that such actions must be legally recognized as speech in order to maintain the enforceability of speech protections, as intent is a nebulous concept, but it is not obviously so and many jurisdictions don't recognize such things as speech.

> You just shouldn't fall into the trap of thinking that once the prototypes work, they are ready for production.

That is a huge “just” and painfully laughable when many of those architects were young men. The industry was practically incapable of looking at software that looks like it should work and declaring victory. Not just to the level of trope, but to the level of trauma. It was fucking brutal.

But we haven’t solved this problem, we’ve just gotten really good at avoiding that situation (eg, CI/CD). That fence is there for a reason, don’t remove it.

“Solutioning” is just corporate buzz phrase for the XY problem. I threw away a day’s worth of code yesterday because I realized at the last moment that I was solving the wrong problem, literally as I was writing the summary for the PR. We have to do A because of B, and we can’t change B because of… umm, why can’t we change B? Because I didn’t understand all the consequences of B the last time I faced a related problem. But now I do, and it’s fairly arbitrary if I fix the error handling in two methods and a couple of tests, OK.

Every line of code you write has to be maintained forever. Most of the ones you delete do not. A few have to be added back in later. Big whup.

The font-face attack in the article requires loading the font from a remote location. A JS font numeration attack works with local fonts. That would need a different mitigation in the browser, but browsers could, for example, have an array limited to three elements that JS gets when it asks for a font list, or just return the system default fonts, or just say no. A permission to get the full list would be necessary for things like browser-based editors and design software, but it'd still be worth it in my opinion. It would be a huge win for privacy.

The fact is very few websites use more than three fonts at a time on any particular page, and most sites than do could rework their design so they don't (swapping icon fonts for an SVG font map, for example), or they could implement a canvas or WebGL alternative.

You prevent them from gaining power by winning debates against them and demonstrating to everyone why they're wrong.

I mean have you actually seen the "science" used to claim even the existence of different races? It's all misleading statistics and pseudoscience. You group a bunch of people together based on geographical origin and then observe some differences in the averages between the two groups, ignoring that the differences within each "race" are larger than the differences between "races," and that the lines are being drawn arbitrarily, and that even the measured averages could be different as a result of environment or culture rather than genetics.
