What Makes an Effective Landing Page?
My workflow for the longest time has been: use a SQL GUI to run SQL queries but then dump that to CSV so I could load in Excel and make graphics I could embed in a presentation or sent in an email.

I don't think Excel or Google Sheets are the right interface for diverse data sources that have different query styles and different connection types. Visually the space in each Cell is just pretty constrained.

I am building an open source tool [0] for these kinds of workflows where you need to combine queries, scripting in Python/JavaScript/etc, graphing, dashboards, email exports in one place. It's very similar to tablum.io (this post) but instead of doing any ETL it's just a smart client for joining data client-side.

Pretty sure it takes less energy to split CO2 than it does to split aluminum oxide. So recycling after the first extraction would make more sense.

The dangers are obvious, but the experience and ability to read your surroundings comes with time spent.

So, yes, I do believe AP when if they say their experience in getting to that speed with a regular bicycle gives them an advantage in those situations to someone jumping on a bike that artificially empowers them to that speed.
Bolden has said a lot of things dismissive of SpaceX, and they haven’t turned out to be very accurate. The Administrator has Congressional political constraints and is part of the aerospace old guard that had a sort of learned-helplessness about new aerospace endeavors. Falcon Heavy can absolutely be human rated. There’s also the possibility of LEO rendezvous between a Dragon launched on a Falcon 9 and a filled Falcon Heavy upper stage with a docking port on it.
That's a general rule of thumb in tech predictions -- people overpredict the short term and underpredict the long term. So yes, Dear Moon is unlikely to fly in 2023. But it'll definitely fly before 2028. Starship has already retired their most significant technical risks. Fuel transfer and 2nd stage reentry aren't easy, but the Shuttle and ISS did them both in the 80s.

SpaceX didn't do significant work on Dragon until 2015 since Congress didn't properly fund Commercial Crew until then.
It would also make a great advertising billboard! Imagine looking up at the night sky from anywhere on earth and seeing a giant, glowing Apple or McDonald’s logo carved into the moon’s surface!

Not sure why you're getting downvoted.

For some reason modern society paints women as incapable of lying ever so if it's an allegation by a woman it must be true.

And if you don't believe it you're victim-blaming.

Women are just as vicious as men.
At least two of my friends have had their ideas stolen and funded separately.

The first startup I ever worked for, one of the founders had done diligence for a VC and stole the idea. The founder, knowing the VC, was by definition a bankable exec.

> I have an uneasy feeling whenever I see a path parameter declared as string. Path is not a string

I guess that depends on what you mean by "string". `open` and `fopen` need a char* path to open a file. Whatever fancy Path abstraction you use eventually becomes a char* string, because that's what the kernel needs.
Wow, thanks for the reply, nice find! I did some poking around on my Linux system and even re-arranging the home folder was a task of its own because the system kept trying to replace folders in their original places. I will do some digging in to Gobo and see how they're handling this. Thanks again for pointing this out.
AFAIK on space stations right now CO2 is just removed, oxygen is restored from water, but I could be wrong.
We have some pro products built to industrial standards that replace controllers like PLC and they require zero soldering https://blog.arduino.cc/2021/05/12/portenta-machine-control-...
If you can code, then explain, but not in reverse - that indicates you don't have a path to solution in your mind without some trial and error. Some levels of engineering require you to have one, at least for certain tasks.
I just tried fish. xinput --set-[TAB] and nothing. Apparently it doesn't understand the standard long-option format that is supported by xinput and documented in the man page. You have to know to omit the dashes and then it'll complete. And it's downhill from there.

Yeah I used to have all kinds of simple as well as supposedly sophisticated completion setups with zsh years ago but I've given up on it since then. It's always half-assed and half the time causes more problems than it solves. Same with bash. There are some places where I must resist the urge to try complete a filename because the shell starts trying to figure out which target it can complete from a Makefile in a large build system and just freezes. The only practical way out is to interrupt and type the command again or wait a stupidly long time. There are other issues like completion trying to be smart and filtering out things it thinks you don't want to complete. Nothing is more frustrating than a shell refusing to complete a filename that you know is there.
Outlook is bigger than Google for corporate email. I would suggest adding that (or better yet, listen to the other feedback and allow a standard email login flow).
It looks like the new design has a router with integrated power supply, and maybe a proprietary cable connector that goes out to the dish? It comes with a 75' detachable cable, which is nice, and you can get a 150' cable too.

The most annoying thing is it looks like if you want a hard wired Ethernet port, you have to buy an additional accessory that adds one inline. Not sure if you'll be able to use your own router, but that would be a major downgrade for some people if you can't.

Weird, I haven't had to do this. Most(/all?) connections have nice names you can see with `nmcli c`... and so I can do `nmcli c up id DroidNet` and that's pretty dang nice. Pretty sure this worked with Ubuntu 14.04 (though, nmcli has gotten much more featureful since then)

(The ability to shorthand connection->c and similar is great, too; obviously not unique to nmcli)
I'm of the opinion that kebab-case is the best case for all identifiers, because it's easy to read and to type. As always, Lispers were right all along.

That's really interesting!

In terms of incident.io, we're a team of 3 engineers (looking for more!) and a company of 6 in total, so our priority was on buy and not build.

But in my most recent experience at a larger company (fintech unicorn, ~1k employees) we:

- Used Sentry to capture exceptions from all over the app. Our language was Ruby, which meant the stacktraces were usually explanatory, and attached debugging information to the event whenever we sent it
- We didn't use tracing much, though when we did it would be at a request level. Our Sentries would link to the trace, and you'd see what happened during your request
- All logs were associated with the trace

So our error report would be a Sentry, which could be joined against the logs and trace information.

In the situation where error reporting (probably better phrased as crash report?) was triggered by a user, it would normally come from a frontend site and trigger a Sentry.

The Sentry plugin will have tracked the console.log/debug calls up until that moment, and any requests that took place. So it was quite easy to piece together what had happened, and why it went wrong.

Not ever seen anything so custom as what you describe, though. Interesting to know that those systems are out there, and that you feel it worth building over buying!
I've been waiting for this post.
Advanced Visual Studio Code for Python Developers
I'm going to make a wild guess that there are more pork eaters than cyclists in America. Bike lanes are compicated issues but everyone has to eat. Politicians are always going to make these calculated decisions. I have also observed that the quickest way to fire up an angry mob is to say something perceived to be critical of cyclists.
it's not really a generalizable solution, though, because suppose you need an unnatural AA that needs a specialized ribosomal cavity and that cavity hasn't been developed yet. And you need the material by a year's time. You are not going to evolve a ribosome to make your peptide. And, there are post-translational modifications that are too big to fit into ANY cavity, though in theory you could use tricksy chemistry to figure out a downstream processing step, that chemistry may not exist yet, or it may require a pure enzyme that is a pain in the ass to obtain, etc. etc. Finally, charging the correct tRNA is not necessarily easy or efficient.

Unlike well-designed programming architectures, biology is usually not "trivially composable". Oddly, SPPS is. Yes, there are corner cases, but those are more the exception than the rule.

The missing piece is media-driven culture. But video games don't cause violence, according to studies, which clearly leads to the belief that music doesn't cause drug trafficking or gang violence or hyper-machismo otherwise all other cultural music would do the same for their respective demographics. Surely media depictions of success aren't emulated. There's no way that success in sports as a way out of poverty could be hijacked not just from the top down but from the bottom up as well. There is definitely zero association between complexity of sound and complexity of thought. There is no causal link between any of this, it's simply systemic oppression over the course of decades, no, centuries. We should, in fact, celebrate this culture more.

Nobody wants it and the few that want it don't want to pay for it. Control engineering really isn't a branch of CS, its culturally its own thing.

Also, liability is a never ending hole with the actual PLC. If your web3 capable PLC keeps even 100-500K/Hr of production from running, then people will probably legally come after you.

I've though several time about building a PLC ecosystem taking the best of modern systems. Building up new features to allow the actual equipment manufacturers (OEMs are under-served) to rapidly spin up and manage variants. And enough ecosystem security that at least your production systems won't be ransomwared. But unless there is a wealth person or huge company out there that just absolutely wants to fund it, it's not economically viable (If you are that company or person, contact me).

The dealer networks and middlemen gatekeep the market pretty severely. You would have to essentially hand hold engineers into using it. And you are going to have a hard time selling it to risk-adverse C and D level managers.
No-code BI and ETL tools are intended mainly as a replacement for Excel, not a replacement for Python.

If you are an accomplished Python programmer, you might code a solution or (e.g. if you want to do something ad hoc quickly) use a no-code tool.

If you aren't a programmer, your choice is typically: learn Python, use Excel, wait for a programmer to do it for you or use a no-code tool. A no-code tool will often be by far the best solution.
Crew Dragon only has a handful of missions. What the previous commenter is talking about is risks that may have been ignored/downplayed/unsuccessfully mitigated but that Crew Dragon is simply lucky enough not to have faced.

With time and more flights, more things will have a chance to go wrong, and in spaceflight, resting on your laurels is the best way to make sure that when it does go wrong it will be catastrophic.
No, not really, more like closed eco-systems end up recycling everything, including bodies. Planet Earth is one such eco-system.
There's a _ton_ of those pseudo loading bars

I wish so hard people would make real loading bars. Ones that _actually_ give you an indication of progress, that don't stall forever on 5% and then jump to 100% instantaneously, or rest on 100% for half a minute before actually proceeding.

Idk, it can't be that hard, right? You know what your software is doing; let each part of the process report how far along it is, and together with rough knowledge how much time each part takes proportionally, you can calculate a very useful progress bar.
On a similar note: “it makes sense to add a date to a file name” years old.

When banks do KYC, they use: Name, address, DOB, and SSN. SSN is the "least" public of those. If all 4 are publicly available, it is trivial to impersonate you and launder money with your ID.

Sentry (https://sentry.io/) has been building a load of tracing functionality, and the Javascript client captures logs and requests leading up to an error by default.

I've used this in the past quite a bit, and found it really useful.

And in terms of Cloud Trace vs other tracing providers, I think it was the ease of setup and the simple log + trace inline view that sold us on it. Only took a couple of hours to get working, and it's great that it works for local dev too.
It doesn't compete, they are for different applications.

PLCs are industrial devices that are extremely rugged. They operate in very harsh environments: very hot or cold, oily, high vibrations, etc. They need to operate 24/7/365 without fail.

A $5,000 microcomputer might seem like a lot, but when it's responsible for controlling a $100,000/hr production line it's a drop in the bucket.

Since the main stalling point will be slow network connections, you may know how many steps you have to do, but not how long they will take.

Ah yes, of course! The tea was revealed on the last page only. My memory isn't entirely bit-rot proof and it's been a good 47 years since I last read that particular story.
for software developers it takes time to learn their way around a new code base (usually 3-12 months), so low retention is highly detremental.
economically a business can be better off giving a big raise than losing someone, paying recuiters, losing time on finding a replcement, losing time until the replacement gets up to speed, and eventually losing the replcement too.
if this whole cycle could mean for example the business only get 1 year of effective work out of 2 years, in which case doubling the salary to retain someone is just as effective.

also it isn't extortion if someone gets a better offer elsewhere, and the offer cant be infinitly high.

to conclude no retention means lack of second order thinking.
We don't necessarily need to electrify everything, we can swap hydrocarbons from oil to synthetic hydrocarbons (or hydrogen) produced in a sustainable way, which may be considered 'zero net emissions'.

For aviation, this may be easier and my feeling is that this is what will happen for airliners.
By draping banners with warnings, of course.

You wouldn't download a ship, would you?
Perhaps the more fundamental question here is why most employees don't try to exploit this imbalance by continuously applying to other companies?

If they did so then we will eventually reach an equilibrium where companies would spend more on retention than recruitment.

NASA received 12 applications for commercial space station concepts. Only 4 of them have been made public so far, and some of those likely cost under $1 billion. Orbital Reef has to be well over $10 billion so the only way that's ever going to happen is if Bezos pays for it himself.
