The SpaceX bid basically won because SpaceX said "yeah we're going to spend to fund this capability anyway, hey NASA, want to come along for the ride?"

versus Blue Origin and the others bids saying essentially "you're funding this project entirely".

And thus, SpaceX's bid was a lot less than theirs.

I'm a bit shocked this got decided this quickly. This is on the order of months, isn't it? Then again with this much money and visibility, it probably gets the wheels turning faster.

Or is that a reflection of how little water the complaint had?
This was true for me, but not really until I turned ~45. Confounding factors do include some changes to my consistency with working out due to some feet issues I started experiencing, but I just felt "full" all the time as well as foggy. I do ~16-18 fasted most days and feel much clearer/better.
What is the Number Needed to Vaccinate (NNTV) to prevent Covid fatality in kids?
Well I was nervous after reading the title. Reading the article as a diabetic-of-fifteen-years with suboptimal glucose/health management made me positively queasy. I’m taking this as the sign that I need to get my shit together, and I recommend anyone else who’s also procrastinating like me to take this opportunity.
This is basically code golfed. You could always break up a regex into named variables of its constituent logical parts; same with FP.

This is kind of like calling js ugly because you could come up with a minified js script that is really complex and fits in one line, or if you inlined all function calls in a long C file into the main() function body. There's a sweet spot of the complexity density per LOC that humans are seemingly more-or-less tuned for, where it's often possible to get a computer to handle more complexity-dense code.

Personally, the shorter the code and the stronger the types, the faster I can tell if I made a mistake and the fewer places there are for me to make one, and that's why I like terse FP languages.
That's exactly it, yeah. It looks like a hot reload on save, but it does only the minimum calculation required.
This is a much more compelling argument than the article's.
As someone who own's a Tern GSD and a Tern Vektron too, I've found the unserviceable Bosch electric drivetrain to not be refreshingly serviceable at all.

This may have changed in year since I last had to look and might vary by region, but in US Bosch have been incredibly strict about parts and software tools for the motors - only approved dealers can order a brand new replacement motor, for example. You cannot order one as private individual easily (much like a Tesla...). That's unheard of for bike parts generally speaking.

For sure, all of the parts that are shared with traditional non e-bikes (group sets, brakes, wheels, etc etc) are still easily privately serviceable by end user. The Bosch electric drivetrain, not so much.
I really like the Bollinger. For the same reasons as you. I'd buy it instead of the Cybertruck if it was price competitive. But I'm not going to pay $50k more just to avoid the smarts of a Cybertruck.

Emacs likely has more new users now than ever before. I'd wager the absolute number of users are clearly growing. There's an order of magnitude more Youtube videos, blog posts, etc than there were 10 years ago. Getting Emacs help via a Google search often failed me a decade ago. Now it's extremely rare that I don't find an answer.

I've probably spent less than 50 hours total over 20 years on my emacs configuration. But it wasn't all at once. And now I just copy the .emacs file between systems. Tweaking it is maybe minutes a year now. If I want to do something with, say, Go, I just download the appropriate mode. The longest time spent was when I had a few bespoke languages at work that had no text editor support in any editor. I wrote some minor modes to support them, that was probably 10 hours total with most of the time on the first minor mode, and the rest flowing quickly thanks to the prior experience.

EDIT: For comparison, I've probably spent 100x that (if not more) on Linux configurations.
I'm not an expert on Mozilla's telemetry, but my recollection is the vast majority of telemetry data is performance data (e.g., how long does it take the program startup, how long does it take to query the history database when typing in the URL bar) or features usage (and this is more on the level of "which SSL cipher suites are being used" versus "who clicks this button in the UI").

In consolidated urban areas with medium density occupation, such as city centers in pretty much any relatively large European city, you already have multiple supermarkets at a stone's throw. In some places like Madrid some suburban areas even have multiple supermarkets on the same apartment block.

There has been. With work from home, people are spending way more time in their neighborhoods, and online. They’re simultaneously discovering that their neighborhoods aren’t very nice, and (through urbanist social media) that nice walkable neighborhoods do exist!

When you don’t have to commute by car to your job, you spend more time walking around your neighborhood. It’s nice if it’s a nice neighborhood to walk around.

This has been my personal experience. Things go strongly ketogenic around day 3. It’s an experience worth having at least once in your life, even if you’re not interested in a ketogenic diet. The longest I’ve fasted is 7 days, and things felt quite a bit different between day 2 and day 4.
As others have mentioned, fix your resume. Regarding projects, in your resume talk about your projects in terms of what value the learning would bring to the company you're applying to. People WILL care that you made a chess game if you can tell them the value that learning how to implement a chess engine could bring to their organization.
Right, and as a long term participant in this realm, I can definitely say that the speeding up is far greater than any cognitive decline I’ve had so far. To be sure - since it’s certainly possible that one wouldn’t notice one’s own decline, I do online courses periodically to 1) learn new stuff and 2) assure myself that the decline isn’t yet too severe.
I think the right POV is that Emacs is a text-mode Lisp VM, or at least the remains of one. Whereas vi is just a (great) modal editing interface. They are not comparable.

Actually, vim is not a very good implementation of vi's principles.

Concerning Emacs, as a heavy user I think it needs 4 things to stay relatively popular. I don't think it will be ever super popular, and that's fine:

* Get popular workflows to work with zero configuration. Some packages like AuCTeX, Magit or Notmuch are great at this. But many programming modes require adding too much code to init.el (or .emacs), this code breaks often and it is poorly documented.

* There are too many half-finished packages for some tasks, mostly programming modes. Variety is great, but too much fragmentation is hurting the ecosystem.

* Look at things that other editors are doing better, mostly VS Code. In the past, this approach motivated implementing a package manager (ELPA), which was a huge step forward.

* Get better documentation. It's hard to find up-to-date information for many packages. Besides, the tutorial focuses too much on keybindings and doesn't talk about Emacs core principles. So, to a beginner Emacs looks like a bunch of keystroke tricks that make zero sense.
Cool, thanks for the info!

One of the things we should be pushing for is standardizing engine mount geometries for the last generations of ICE vehicles, so that every vehicle built after say 2030 can have a COTS electric conversion kit that works for it.

What you want is economies of scale. You need to be able to design a drop-in replacement that works for millions of vehicles, not one-offs for 25,000 vehicles. An electric conversion will be made fairly early for the most popular vehicles and everything that uses the same engine (eg, Accord, Camry, Jetta). The Mazda rotary engines will not. They’ll end up being taxed to death, unless someone can make cheap adapters.

If telemetry were that useful and acted upon, we wouldn't have FF regularly breaking its interface. (Such as the stupid disconnected tabs and other vanity projects.) Almost everyone hates these kind of unique-snowflake interface changes for the sake of change.
> Reagan's notion that increasing the margins of the wealthy would induce them to pass profits to workers was mistaken in that its proposed mechanism was entirely altruism.

No it wasn't.

Reagan push to lower taxes so rich people money would be used in investment instead of sitting idle. The notion that money in investment has a higher velocity than money sitting is basic economics. The main issue with Reagan is that his prediction that the increased velocity of money would produce enough economic activity to make up for the reduction in taxes - was totally incorrect.

It's really disappointing how many commenters criticize Reagan's economic policies without understanding them at all.

I've worked at startups, Microsoft (Ballmer days), Google, eBay, and back at Microsoft (Satya days). eBay was nice but not great infrastructure. Google had great infrastructure but was like a headless chicken, and after a while having that much autonomy and lack of leadership and vision gets old. Microsoft is slower, more staid, more hierarchical and incremental (and the focus on enterprise customers means that won't change), but has good leadership who show genuine care for the workforce, and knows how to execute, day in and day out. And the scope of what Microsoft does means you should never be bored. I'd recommend eBay and Google as good places to work, but Microsoft is a great place to work.

Could be because a number of parts are made to be easily removable, such as all of that glass.

Could be that is the cost of an EV that doesn't spy on you or sell subscription features.

Most likely, that's the result of zero savings from the economies of scale that tesla and Ford have built up.
Disclaimer: Contributor to SS14. Added cigs and refactored some stuff.

Gonna heavy disagree with it.

The thing is porting big games takes time. And SS13 isn't even like a single game. It's several dueling codebases.

Not to mention SS14 is more ambitious than that: make your own engine, plus add pixel movement, grid rotation, etc.

And SS14 is at a playable alpha.
And I mean actual alpha, not Blizzard polish alpha.

Yeah...the first week of a new job feels like a month of the previous job. Four months into it now, and the weeks fly by.

While on vacation, the days feel long. Though once I get back, the week felt short. :-\

This is not a story about failure - it's common and unremarcable both in government and corporate.

This story is amazing because it shows society at it's best, people got together organised and resolved a common problem.

On recent Intel/AMD CPUs the x87 transcedental functions are usually much slower than their equivalents using SSE/AVX instructions.

For future CPUs, it is expected that the performance gap will increase.

The x87 trigonometric functions require typically between 100 and 200 clock cycles. During that time a recent CPU can execute 200 to 500 instructions, enough to compute many values of a trigonometric function (using a polynomial approximation). When SIMD instructions can be used, several tens of values of a function could be computed during a single x87 instruction.
I like to fast for a couple days, simply because I find it helps a lot with mental clarity. However, I think you make a good point.

Fasting absolutely can have downsides. The link in the comment you are replying to, for example, recommends a five day fast which is a lot longer than I've ever seen recommended.

The first obvious downside is that people with health conditions like diabetes, underweight, immunocompromised, etc. need to consult a doctor first. They would probably call a 5 day fast with zero intake of food or electrolytes needlessly reckless with little evidence to support it over a shorter fast.

Medical studies also tend to be of poor quality and don't stand up to meta-analysis by organizations like Cochrane. For example:

https://www.cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD...

https://www.cochrane.org/CD013496/VASC_does-limiting-times-y...

The Mayo clinic also argues theres not enough high quality evidence even on intermittent fasting at this point to recommend for or against it in weight loss (where you think it would be of obvious benefit):

Speculating on in-vitro effects and microbiological mechanisms scaling to result in things like cancer prevention or life extension seems like a fools errand.

> Anything you can do in Emacs, you can do in VS Code faster, better, and easier.

Show me how to do the following in VS Code:

1. Org mode, or anything as powerful as Org mode (org mode is one of the two major packages that keep people in Emacs - it's not an obscure thing).

2. Reading, writing, and managing email (e.g. adding a tag to an email). While you're at it, please make sure the org mode equivalent can have a TODO linking to a particular email.

3. IRC

That's kind of my point. Let's say you live in a poor neighborhood but do some stock trading and suddenly make a large profit. That will be shown in public records, it's not just salaries that are public. You now have a target on your back. Criminals will not come to your house looking for a laptop, they will come looking for you, putting a gun to your head telling you to transfer your assets to them.

Same applies to fintech - I see a lot of new fintech startups building their solutions on existing no/low code platforms.

Whilst this gets them out of the gate faster all the problems in OPs article apply. In addition, their margins are squeezed as they have to pass on the cost of the no/low code platform. Also means the no/low code platform now needs to be InfoSec/Due Dilled which doubles that pain too.
If you don't like the stress and rapid pace, something like Xenonauts had a similar effect.

I loved planning things out in incredible detail. I actually researched what military did, so we split it into several squads. There'd be a main assault squad with a mix of short and long range weapons, depending on the map. Then a few support teams. Some might be suppression teams with heavy damage but slow and vulnerable. You can also have a couple of sniper nests with a long range assault rifle supporting them.

And then the fun happens when you watch your plans fall apart and do a post mortem.
When you look at it, it's truly astonishing (well, maybe not) what economies of scale one can achieve going from ~10k EAU to ~1M EAU (with up to 5M across other models to amortize engineering and common parts).

Worth checking out the movie Pierrepoint too:
