I’d argue that being chemically inert is a property that can be compared and marked as “identical”, but that’s just semantics.

Technically they’re called Ion Thrusters. They’re just colloquially called Xenon Thrusters because xenon is the most commonly used gas to use due to its weight. Perhaps radon could work too, I’m no expert, but I imagine the radioactivity is an issue.
Amazing how quickly people forgot about the existence of the Cold War.
I'm surprised nobody mentioned git-annex. It does the same using git for metadata. It's extremely efficient.
100% agree that you shouldn't start a blog to monetize. I was just pointing that out as a weakness of blogs. (I've tried a couple of things in my ~2 decades of blogging; none brought in more than a dinner out or two.)

Talk to the folks who write books (I have). Money is nice, but it is secondary to a whole host of other benefits:

* expertise gained
* credentialing
* an accomplishment they can point to
* reach

I can't think of a single point in my RoR career where this has come up. How do you even do Java-like OO when classes are so loosey-goosey anyway?

Though having suffered in a Rails codebase written by Java engineers, I definitely agree that a light touch is needed with OO -- though composition has its own difficulties and together this forms one of my bigger criticisms of Rails.

I think there are degrees of this.

On the one hand, it's unreasonable to expect that you will have thousands of visitors every day to your blog. Some may get that, but most never will.

On the other hand, it's nice to get visitors that can pass the Voight-Kampff test. Googlebot, Bingbot, Yandexbot and that lot are cool and all, but it's somewhat discouraging when they are your only readership. I get writing for yourself is a thing, but then you might as well not put it online. The greatest part of the blogosphere is the exchange of ideas, the dialogue.

There is a serious discoverability problem in personal websites in general. Search engines and algorithmic content aggregators are part of the problem, but I think an understated part is that we've stopped linking to other websites.

It's like people think they need to trap the visitor on their site by having no exits and only promoting their own stuff. Feeling trapped is not a good feeling. What is a good feeling is discovering something cool, the experience of exploration feels good. We should treat our visitors to that.

Blog rolls, link lists, whatever you want to call it, they help your readers find more cool websites. That helps the blogosphere/indieweb/personal website-space in general. It also helps search engines find those websites and understand their importance better.

Linking is free, it's not a marriage proposal either. You can just link to something that you liked, because you liked it.
This is the correct answer for sure. I managed an LMS department for years and you nailed it.

I'd also like to add that most education IT departments tend not to have many people capable of building or maintaining something as complex as an LMS. That means you'd need to hire at least a couple new software devs at software dev salaries and software dev benefits to keep them...which ends up costing MORE per year than it costs to shove 99% of the problem off onto Blackboard support and remove a large source of risk while saving money.
> 1. "Castles were built for prestige not fortification".

Why not both? A US Supercarrier is both prestige and fortification.

Maginot line was also both: it was a great fortification + provided a prestige / morale factor to the troops. (No more dingy trenches! You'll have fresh water and a place to sleep).

Just because something is built as a fortification doesn't mean it won't be avoided (ex: Maginot line worked where it laid. But the Germans just ran around the line through Belgium). Similarly, just because a castle was built for fortification doesn't mean it was a _good_ fortification. There probably are lots of "bad" castles as well as "good" ones.
Ruby has (always had) a REPL and .methods gives you all possible methods you can call on an object. Editors with completion have been around forever too.

"Intellisence" is just what MS calls it. It's not unique to statically typed languages. Completion has existed for dynamic languages probably longer than I've been alive. In fact, the reason tooling for Java/C# is so good is because the VM can feed it info as it's running, since even though the language is static the runtime is dynamic.
Off topic, but I feel obligated to comment each time I see the “GAMMA” acronym.

That doesn't mean Apple knows who the owner is. In that case, the owner of the device is anonymously notified. So with the situation in speech, you'd notify the criminal that you found their device, probably the last thing you'd want to do in this situation.

That having said, the serial number is rather tied to an iCloud account, so Apple should be able to identify its owner (but not their location).
Reminds me of how Microsoft packages the Windows installer actually. If you’ve ever unpacked Microsoft’s install.esd it’s interestingly insane how heavily it’s compressed. I assume it’s full of a lot of stuff that provides semi redundant binaries for compatibility to a lot of different systems, because the unpacked esd container goes from a few GiBs to I think around 40-50 iirc.
An estimate is guess but is never treated that way.

Budgets are built on it, deliveries agreed. Doesn't matter how much you decompose the task - unless you've coded that exact same thing many times before in the same way under the same conditions then it's just a guess. Been estimating for industry for about 20 years (although not the last 6 because we're agile in the truest sense) and most of the estimates have been wrong - sometimes over, sometimes under. Tech estimates are a lie that loads buy into.
This seems extremely premature given the massive disparities that still exist today racially.

The average wealth of a black family in Boston is $8 whereas the average wealth of a white family is about $200,000. How do we talk about these disparities if we throw away the language to talk about race?

Or is your argument that these disparities are innate? Or that they are not at all due to the legacy of explicitly race based discrimination in the US (the last school desegregated due to Brown v. Board was in 1998)?

If you're not making either of those arguments, it seems kinda obvious why discussing race is still necessary today to me, not sure what you are missing.
I wasn't opining on the motive of the submitters of this FOIA request. I was saying "This is an unexpected thing I have seen first-hand from other parties. I think it's disingenuous. And it makes me suspicious of large document requests related to vaccine minutiae."

The reasonable outcome, if the purported goals are true, would probably be to scope the FOIA request down to a summary of materials available, and then work with the relevant departments to filter out extraneous records that the requestors don't see as valuable.

The main advantages of spin launch's approach over a more conventional mass driver are that it takes up less space (Quicklaunch's proposed driver is over 1km long), and that it requires less peak power to get up to speed (Spinlaunch accelerates over a period of one and half hours).

I think it's a really cool idea but you have a network effect issue. I would expect it to be hard to get enough of my friends on it for it to be useful. Integrations with existing message apps and environments would be ideal, though I'm not exactly sure how that would look.
Also out of support, unless you have ESU.

I think that if Microsoft ever does decide to support this extension there'll be a patch for all supported versions including via ESU - just like all supported relevant MS products got a TLS 1.2 patch, even the embedded Windows XP (POSReady 2009) got a TLS 1.2 patch.
The same reason Facebook uses php: that's what they started with and it's prohibitively complex, expensive and risky to change at their scale.
You can think of it as a hollowing out of the middle. As people have become more individualistic, they’ve lost interest in the “middle range” of power: neighborhood, town, city, state. This power structure has collapsed almost entirely, flushing all of it to the top, centralized federal level. This is also why an urbanite in Brooklyn is more similar to one in San Francisco than to those a hundred miles north in upstate New York. Local identities have been replaced entirely by national and increasingly international ones.
Usually these type are called Hall Thrusters. Ion thrusters (Gridded Ion Thrusters, the full name) work a bit differently internally than Hall Thrusters, but overall system behaves the same.

The general term is “electric propulsion,” as in Nuclear Electric Propulsion or Solar Electric Propulsion.

>That's what they did before that way to move wealth appeared.

What are you basing this on? It doesn’t line up with reality.

Zeus (and spyeye) gangs were very succesful in stealing huge amounts long before cryptocurrency was a thing. Sure, those techniques have evolved. BEC is easier, earns more money than ransomware. Yet, somehow, the evolution of BEC has no obvious link with cryptocurrency.

>> The biggest problem with this technique, from an optimization perspective, is that it creates an irreducible control-flow graph.

The technique is considered obsolete with todays compilers specifically because they can do loop optimizations like this without writing strange C code.

OTOH you never know what those wacky compiler guys are going to do. For example, it seems GCC hasn't been doing any vectorization on x86-64 with standard -O2 even though the ISA has supported SSE2 as a minimum from day one. This is being fixed (to some extent) in the next release.

A similar, but much more useful thing for the future seems to be LANTR, a.k.a. the only practical nuclear rocket engine we know of. At the very least it doesn't waste all oxygen from water mined on other bodies of our solar system like traditional pure-hydrogen NTRs do. And its average impulse density of propellant is way higher, of course.
Usually people get promotions like that after the prior leader has quit and they have spent some time filling in in the interim. Or they apply for jobs that have leadership responsibilities as the next step of their career ladder until they get one. In both cases seeking the role comes before actually being granted it.

It's very rare for organizations to grant leadership roles to anyone not already seeking it (usually by performing that role or applying for that job) in some capacity.
Social Media Is a Loading Spring
There's just as much evidence in the article that it was Marriott as a whole refusing. The original rejection email specifically said: "We consulted the whole matter with our corporate management"

> "Thank you very much for your visit today. Unfortunately, I have to inform you that we are not able to offer the premises. We consulted the whole matter with our corporate management. For reasons of political neutrality, we cannot offer events of this type with a political theme. Thank you once again for your time and understanding."
The cold war was ongoing at the time Nixon did this... just getting going really.
> Of course it's very saintly of you to refuse to pay, but often not paying is a very bad business decision. You can be sure that enough people will pay for your refusal to not make any difference.

And this is something where the law can help. Paying a ransom in these kinds of situations needs to be a felony. The punishment needs to be dealt to everyone who acted or knew and didn't report, and it needs to be harsh enough that even in the worst cases people would rather call the cops and report than risk it. (Or, at least some employee in the organization would report it and save their own hide than risk it to protect their boss.)

The ramsomware crisis is really bad now, and it keeps getting worse. It will not stop getting worse until the money dries up. Small businesses cannot be expected to have the level of IT knowledge that they absolutely can't be hacked. The reason they weren't victimized before at this level was that the money wasn't there. There are enough places in the world where the authorities will look the other way (or actively cheer on the criminals), meaning this will not end until the flow of money is stopped.

If you want to mitigate the losses caused by ransomware gangs, create a subsidized insurance system that helps the victims. Just, that insurance is not allowed to pay off the criminals, just help the business get back on it's feet.

I too have always found this argument to be a non sequitur, for the exact reasons that you identify. If you attribute the emissions and pollution of the entire fossil fuel economy to the people who refine the products that go into the fossil fuel economy, there is nothing that can be accomplished with the analysis.

On the other hand, if we are serious about global warming and pollution, we need nuclear energy immediately (including the safe nuclear fission technologies which we've had for a few decades now, as well as continued research into fusion).

Spann: A Highly-Efficient Billion-Scale Approximate Nearest Neighbour Search
What I see is not so much the death of blogging, people certainly still do it and there are always going to be people doing that. Even when diaries were private and only for themselves.

The death is in communication and engagement (not the growth hacker kind, the human kind) amongst writers and readers. I don’t think most people are looking for a huge audience, but even a small number of people who regularly read and give the author some kind of feedback is a big incentive.

These days there is so so much noise, comment sections are dead due to SEO/spam, and it’s easy to feel like you’re just shouting into the ether without any hope of human connect across any amount of space or time.
This was my thought too. I can follow the x86 and C code, but the networking and kernel debugging was way above my pay grade.

Well, if I ever want to be marginalized I want it to be like how women are marginalized, specially in the West. Only marginalized group to have better education and healthcare funding, lives longer than their oppressors, have more legal rights than their oppressors plus vast majority of tax benefits directed towards them as well.

Yeah, historically men were forced to work 12 hours in coal mines, oil rigs, garbage dumps, forests, in deep seas with next to nothing safety equipment and with no regulations while women were forced to stay in their homes with their children. Where can I sign up for this kind of discrimination?
Yeah but that's Reddit. You never know if you're getting 99% reality and 1% fantasy or 99% fantasy and 1% reality. The platform is intentionally built to fake the appearance of strong consensus where there is none so every appearance of consensus is suspect. I'm inclined to agree with the premise but "as evidenced by Reddit" is worth exactly zero in my mind.

Interesting...

1. I didn't know something like the US would allow the original US constitution to be privately held. But I guess it makes sense. The value is in the law it establishes and all of it's copies. The original is largely sentimental and doesn't need to be held by the govt.
2. I'm sure this is just naivete, but it made me think that going forward in digital media there aren't any originals to own. What even is an original? I'm sure this is all deeply obvious in NFT land.

Is there any guarantee that disqualification actually keeps these people off the streets? (Honestly asking as I'm not familiar with how the law around this works in the UK)

I lost a childhood friend to a woman with a long drunk driving record, who naturally disregarded her suspended license and plowed right through us playing street hokey in broad daylight.

Since then I've thought penalties should be more punitive when licenses get suspended, like by impounding the car to ensure that the person can't just drive it anyway. But like the loopholes you mention, I haven't found a way to do it that doesn't incur further hardship, like losing employment or usurious impound lot fees accruing in the interim.
