My "perfect" code editor is neovim with maybe a dozen or so plugins, primarily focused linting my code, less so on major interface changes (e.g. NERDTree)

Someone else's perfect code editor will be the flip side of that: an easy to use (perhaps via mouse) file tree, autocomplete with snippets, virtual text, etc.

Someone else will be in between.

You get the point, each option is not more or less effective as it comes down to the individual.
>Larry and Sergei retained an extraordinary percentage up through the IPO because they didn't "need" the VC money, and they were doing quite well without it.

Fyi... Google got VCs Sequoia Capital & KPCB $25 million around June 1999 which was about ~9 months after they started in Sept 1998. Before the VC funding, they also got a group of seed investments from Stanford professors and other individuals (Andy Bechtolsheim, Jeff Bezos, NBA star Shaq, etc.)
Define "space". Is the Hangul filler we talked about yesterday a spacing character? Is the zero-width non-breaking space a spacing character? What about the typographic spacing characters?

You should better be very afraid of using spaces in filenames.

You should do everything you can to support them but you have to know you'll invariably encounter countless cases where you'll have this or that tool that won't work properly with them.

I still live in a world where I cannot name a song from the french group L'impératrice with an eacute in the filename or my car's media system will display garbage (it's running QNX and I don't know which filesystem).

FWIW, and it should be food for thought, every single Git repository in the world contains a pre-commit hook sample (disabled by default but it's there) that enforces that every committed file in the repo is named using a subset of ASCII characters.

Every Git repository in the world has that example: let that sink in.
IMHO, it's possible to add a flag to bash, which will turn on this behavior, so problem can be fixed, but it will diverge bash from POSIX sh a lot.

> This is very unlike the contracts that Lockheed Martin and Boeing work under for the Orion capsule and the SLS contract. Just in comparison, those system already at up almost 20 billion each, they have sometimes over 2 billion a year in funding. The extra cost for failing to deliver these systems is paid by NASA.

The growing elephant in the room is SpaceX's Starship. What happens if Boeing says "Yeah, sorry, we need to delay the moon landings 3 more years- at $2B/year out of your pockets" and SpaceX steps up and says "Cancel the SLS/Orion program, give us $2B one time and we'll put your astronauts on the surface on schedule with Starship".

All that would need to happen to reach that is SpaceX succeeding and Boeing falling behind. A formerly-unlikely scenario that now is the norm.
Legally in the Boston area nothing with a motor is supposed to go on bike paths. It was a law put in place in the 80s to prevent people on mopeds from using bike paths. The end result is rarely enforced from my own experience and from what I've heard from the local electric skateboard group there.

They are definitely black hats. Intelligence services operating in foreign countries (physically or digitally) are by definition criminals, in that they are breaking the local laws where they are operating / accessing.

That they are doing it for a 'good cause' (often debatable) is somewhat irrelevant, that is a risk/reward calculation that the country/agency/spy needs to make themselves.

If a a friendly country of the Dutch government wants to access records of a Dutch company (Booking.com), there are numerous legal methods to access this data. What's instead happening is that the CIA hacks NL companies and the Dutch RIVM hacks American ones and they share information/metadata with each other so that they can make and end-run around the legal constraints of both nations.
As I explained above, some assets protect you from inflation. Like stocks in companies with pricing power, real estate... But almost no assets protect you from the raise in the risk-free-rate that is usually following a high inflationary periods. As the risk-free-rate enters into model valuations of future cash-flows and a raise to it implies a multiple contraction.

No, I actually meant to indicate that there is a densely populated multidimensional spectrum of young to old, local to remote, well education to self taught, highly experienced to self motivated.

While generally speaking, most remaining Perl 5 programmers are old, remote, self taught, highly experienced, very busy, hard to find, and extremely expensive.

There aren't many schools and universities and bootcamps and online learning sites and youtube channels cranking out new Perl 5 programmers that I know of. But there are a hell of a lot of them for JavaScript.

Contrast that the asteroid materials/free space situation where the solar collector is made from a polymer film coated with thin films of metals and/or semiconductors to either reflect and concentrate or convert energy.

The title of that article suggests that oxygen is limiting but really you need 4 parts N2, Helium, SF6, or some other inert for one part of O2 if you don’t want everything to burn up. Those large airspaces in the O’Neill colonies are unrealistic for that reason.

H2O is limiting in terrestrial ecosystems and that is true in the rest of the universe. Part of the resolution of the Fermi ‘paradox’ is that most of the life in the universe is outside the frost line where a significant part of most bodies is water. Liquid water is generic in outer solar system bodies and probably some interstellar bodies where it takes tremendous luck for dry inner solar system bodies to have a thin sheen on the surface like we do.

I can picture a ‘Galileo’ on a slightly less cooked Io or more cooked Europa getting hassled by the church about the significance of oxygen in the Earth’s atmosphere. ‘Don’t you know life would be impossible without high levels of radiation?’

I almost always instrument all my code with logging messages for the purpose of local development. Sometimes it can be very inconvenient for different reasons to run something in the debugger, and so generating log files while running the code to test it helps me identify a lot of issues that I may have overlooked or that otherwise come up in the code while it's still being worked on.

I almost never remove those log messages either, but thanks to the magic of log levels, I don't have to. Anything debug or trace level can be skipped in production logs unless we need to turn on those levels due to bugs that are commonly hit in production yet difficult to diagnose.

Wow. OK, here’s what happened

When the Fed does QE, what that means is that they buy US Treasury debt and mortgage-backed securities at face value from banks, and put digital cash in the banks’ reserve accounts. They do QE to insure liquidity in the banking sector, something that is pretty important. Banks have to keep the digital reserves there, but dollars are fungible, so they can take non-digital dollars out if they like. But they have not been. Reserve balance are astronomical.

Steve Mnuchin ran the Treasury account balance very high, because there was huge demand for short-term Treasury debt in 2020. If he didn’t, rates would have been negative on T-bills. There was about an extra trillion dollars in the Treasury account just to keep short-term rates from going negative.

Janet Yellen had to clean this up, so she stopped issuing so much debt and let the balance fall to more normal levels (it even got low around the debt ceiling mess).

But when she did that, that cash winds up as cash deposits at banks, giving them even more cash. Because Treasury issuance was low and QE proceeded on schedule, they could not buy risk-free assets with that cash, which was why Mnuchin was keeping the balance high in the first place.

So now reserve balances spiked even higher. The banks have too much cash Every overnight, they need to trade some cash for US Treasuries in the Fed’s balance sheet to get right. That is what the reverse repo facility does.

Now that the Fed is tapering and Treasury issuance is back to normal, it will work itself out.

What I find interesting, is no one ever remembers the Intel 386, and no one will ever forget the AMD 386/DX 40.

Partly because the prevalent intel's were often those over priced 386 sx/16s and really Intel didn't gain much wind until the 486 dx2 66 and more importantly, the pentium 1 and pentium 3 - but fabs really weren't make or break until p4 and beyond when they became a manufacturing competitive advantage in die size

The progress of man seems so naturally tuned towards destructive outcomes. We bounce from one fucked up scenario to another, each one an attempt to put a band-aid on a gaping wound left by our failure to consider how our technological progress seems to leave us with ever more urgent issues to address to insure our own survival and that of our descendants. Maybe we're the virus that is learning how to defeat the planet's immune system and ultimately kill it.
Photoelectric power isn't the only form of solar power.

But no matter how you slice it, that two weeks of darkness is a problem. You're going to need nuclear power up there. Fortunately, most of the objections to it on Earth don't apply up there. Space is already a radioactive hell scape in general, there's nothing alive to kill, there's no (currently-known) mechanisms for waste to propagate anywhere you didn't originally put it, etc. etc. We know we can build fission reactors small enough to put out reasonable amounts of power and fit into a payload of a rocket, since we have vessels powered by them already.

Estimates of costs for getting payloads into LEO in the Apollo era are around $50,000/kg (in modern USD terms). I believe the Shuttle was pretty similar.

Estimates for SpaceX seem to be around $2,700/kg but I'm not sure this factors in first stage reuse so it's probably closer to $1,000/kg.

Starship will get this into the $hundreds/kg while also being able to launch individually much larger payloads. It's hard to overstate just how important that is.

I personally believe this will have a profound effect on commercial space operations including a likely commercial station that is much larger than the ISS. Personally I think we should invest in a station with spin gravity on at least part of the station. All of this being a necessary step towards industry.

And all of this from a private investment of ~$20 billion, which I believe was roughly the development cost of either SLS or Orion.

> And to not penalize students (.i. homework grades) if they have to work to help support their family, or have so many other trauma issues

Just to explain my point: if a student has worse skills, whatever their reason is, they should have lower grades. That's what a grade is for.

Then, you may want to address the causes of such low grade.

What you don't want to do is penalize students for arbitrary reasons like deadlines, absence from school, et cetera.

That’s right. But there’s a bunch of engineering that goes into finally qualifying something for lunar flight. Remember they haven’t been planning to fly dragon the lunar vicinity for several years now since the pivot to Starship, so there are dozens of tiny things that would need to be tweaked to make that demonstrable again. I don’t think it will take SpaceX very long. I think they could do it in about a year from the word “go.” It took them just a few months to design, build, and qualify the bubble cupola window thing for Inspiration 4.
This is probably a heavy-handed way to enter the conversation, but I was rather surprised when I found out how many countries until only recently updated laws on DV and rape to apply to married couples in the same way as unmarried couples. Society seems to have felt decidedly different levels of outrage about doing bad things to unmarried persons (usually women) vs. married ones, and persons in marriage could get away with doing some awful things to their partners.

See e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marital_rape_laws_by_country

This is the extreme view, there's of course many other forms of DV and laws across the spectrum are no less fascinating. Note also that there's a difference between legal frameworks and enforcement - I understand, for example, that Japan recently updated the laws to criminalize spousal rape, but it doesn't mean a court will rule on it.

So this is one way in which the definition of DV has broadened. To me it doesn't meet the implied negative connotations of "creep", however.

The future: The moon as prison planet. At the top of the gravity well, only the most hardened convicts arrive to serve out their sentences in this new Oz.

There is one thing that worries me about this. See humans and pathogens have a common interest. We don't want to be killed. And they don't want to kill us. So how can this be achieved? By using stronger defences in key parts of the body. Pathogens have no incentive to circumvent them, by respecting the boundaries they can infect and spread without killing with all of the issues that come with that. But if we take the best defences and apply them everywhere this balance could be permanently disrupted. Now whether this all applies to these peptides is an open question, but I hope they will consider risk/reward carefully.

>The most common criticism of pebble-bed reactors is that encasing the fuel in combustible graphite poses a hazard. When the graphite burns, fuel material could be carried away in smoke from the fire.

These sound like solvable engineering and process challenges, though, so perhaps in the less anti-nuclear climate we’ll have the will to actually make it work.
If you are saying that a Windows application cannot tell if virtualization is in use, you are incorrect. It can both tell whether you are in a virtualized instance (e.g. if you have Hyper-V on) and if you are running a hypervisor. In the former case, a simple hardware inspection would suffice, and there are a dozen other methods to tell such as used by virt-what.

None of this is relevant. Maybe Docker's interface is "improperly configured" for the gaming use case. It remains a headache, and using a console is a viable solution that allows you to work with buggy instances of Docker without disrupting your gaming.

This defeats the point of a loading bar: it’s supposted to give an estimate of progress, not fill up at a rate entirely unrelated to actual loading!

I'd say it's actually fulfilling the real point of a loading bar: to keep the user pacified through some period of waiting that you couldn't engineer away.
8km each way on my commute isn't a problem as such, but in summer 'm drenched in sweat in the first couple of minutes. An e-bike lets me skip that. It also lets me cycle 30km leisurely around my city without getting exhausted. I can turn off my motor if I want some exercise, and turn it back on again when I want to sail through the streets.
Some react scripts freaked out on me recently because my login (and thus user folder) in windows contained a space.
I definitely think SpaceX would do Starship deep space missions even without the government at this point, but I don’t think it is temporary at all. SpaceX gets a lot out of their relationship with NASA (massive expertise, testing capability, infrastructure, etc… SpaceX gave NASA some money for using some of their infrastructure for Inspiration 4), and NASA is a huge customer.

I'm not talking about a video game. I'm talking about real-life land.

The answer to your first question is in the name. The city would run via a DAO and there will be some sort of democratic process that governs the city. Ran on the blockchain.

Using the blockchain is important for a few reasons:

1. Infrastructure. Minting NFTs is an easy process and transferring ownership via an NFT transaction is super simple. The blockchain is the SQL database and it's already there ready to use.

2. Transparency. If I sell you my land via NFT then it's easy for others to verify. Same thing with the DAO that manages the city. People can see what the DAO is doing because it's all on the blockchain. People can raise a red flag if something looks wrong.

3. Efficiency. Running all of this via software is much more efficient than normal government processes and a higher level of automation is possible. Yes you could do this via SQL database but you sacrifice the above two points.
Coming from web-heavy and perl5 backgrounds, it's insane to me that people don't treat filenames and arguments and environment variables as tainted user input, and just blindly trust properties about them like "does not contain whitespace or control characters".
