If you take BART and Muni trains regularly you'll notice the crowd is very very different, with BART probably mostly being used by out-of-city commuters working in the service industry and the occasional Berkley students, and MUNI servicing more SF residents. Most of the wealthy tech class avoid the BART like the plague, and it's easy to see why because a good 10-20% of the BART passengers are just homeless people roaming around the trains. So seeing as how rich people never use BART, it's easy to understand why they associate it with just undesirable people and a vessel for transporting them into the city.

The linked article is a little odd to me, this story is kind of famous as she's a bit of a celebrity in the aviation world for her accomplished instruction career. The way I've always heard it is that she was aware that her pilot's certificate was going to be revoked soon anyway due to her advanced age, and so she flew under the bridge well aware that there was a possibility her certificate would be revoked for it. AOPA's article supports this theory, it says that she did fight the revocation but quotes her saying that she knew it would likely happen.

“Fuck you, pay me” is the only appropriate response.
The cause is a political battle with Putin over gas. Russia has traditionally used gas contracts with individual countries to buy political influence.

Now the EU has a single gas market, and had upgraded pipelines to be used in reverse directions. For example, recently since gas transport from Russia to Poland was reduced, Germany has been exporting gas to Poland.

Putin is testing Germany's new government and the EU leadership.

More renewables, and using gas more efficiently, i.e better insulated buildings throughout the EU will solve this.

New nuclear isn't going to happen much in the EU, and existing nuclear is only a small part of EU wide generation, and becoming increasingly unreliable. France has even higher electricity prices ATM due to nuclear outages.

I recently questioned this when setting up my mother and grandfather with TV and internet for their new house.

My father used to fly with the RAF - he told me that old pilots who were about to lose their licenses due to age/health used to 'go out with a bang' flying under a bridge rather than quietly aging out of their license.

I worked on a similar little project about 10 years ago. We called it 300 Lines. It was a shared public canvas which displayed only the last 300 lines drawn.

We used socket.io to sync between the client and a NodeJS backend. (The whole thing was really an experiment to get to grips with the then-nascent Node v0.4)

Of course it was horribly abused, and we took it down after only a few days.

I'm giving the dude all the credit he deserves. fail0verflow is amazing, the stuff they did with Nvidia Tegra/Nintendo Switch was nothing short of miraculous and insane; that doesn't change the cards at the table though, and it doesn't make me any less skeptical of where all this leads. Again, I've got no intention of stopping people who are making progress, even if it's progress I disagree with, but he still has to prove himself here, and I'm not entirely confident that we're going to end up with "Linux, but on the M1" without a number of asterisks trailing the statement. That was the case with the Switch, that was the case with the PS4, and it's unfortunately crawling in that direction for the M1 as well.

> The incentive structure of scientific publication is such that there are big rewards for being right on an important question, bigger the earlier you are to the party, and little to no penalties for being wrong, so long as the error cannot be provably and directly linked to fraud.

This is fantastic insight and I'd like to thank you for sharing it with our group.

Would you agree that the model of rewards for correctness and penalization only in the case of fraud is the core feature of science? And what separates it from business or politics where being an honest failure is worse than being dishonest but successful?

Again, this is a great post, and I think you have a fantastic future in the sociology of science!
That's a cynical perspective. though.

In each of the above cases, the mission end date was extended because the hardware was capable of doing more science (or for more time) than it was designed for (and budgeted for).

Like JWST, some of the procedures required for a successful mission had never been done before, and could not be tested fully on Earth. Many of those procedures have implications on mission longevity. Very smart and dedicated people make their most educated guesses, build in what they know, try to handle the unknowns, and hope and pray -- and more often than not, are proven correct. That's pretty close to my personal definition of "impressive engineering".

There's a political angle too, of course. We don't know what NASA's "estimate fudge factor" is. I'd be amazed to learn that it is 5x, 24x, or 56x.

Meanwhile Germany is reexporting gas bought from Gazprom (at a relatively low price, much lower than now) to resell it at higher prices to other countries. The Yamal-Europe pipeline has been operating in reverse for days now and the gas is sent back to Poland [1, 2]. Seems like the Germans are paying for gas in Poland and Ukraine now.

Yep. I remember that for my first C assignment in college we had to write a calendar, and leap year calculations needed modulos. I remember distinctly that I tore my hair out trying to figure this out, especially because I was prototyping my math in Python. I eventually resolved that I needed to constantly ensure my sum was > 0 (by adding my modulo base).
To be frank, why would one choose a language with a small community over any of the major languages? Beginners have to learn -how- to program on top of the language's syntax and toolchain itself, so it helps tremendously to be able to search online when they get stuck. And boy do they get stuck a lot, in my experience.

If you pick something like python, any common beginner problem should have questions answered on stackoverflow, blog posts, etc. With a more boutique language that's not the case. Not to mention the ecosystems are much larger so chances are a library already exists to do something instead of making the beginner do it themselves and overloading them. There will be more tutorials, so people can get unstuck. More documentation around the tooling and just documentation in general exists, and so forth.

---

Of course, you should teach "what you know best", but how hard is it to learn e.g. python (even just for the scope of the course) and just teach that? My favorite languages are Rust and Go, but I'm not going to foist those upon newbies just because I'm more familiar with those than javascript, python, ruby, etc.

The secondary lesson here is that teaching (well) is actually quite difficult. Coming up with a curriculum is hard. Keeping students engaged and unstuck is hard. Knowing how to program doesn't prepare you for any of that.

Indeed!

The draft version "X3.???-1988" at https://web.archive.org/web/20161223125339/http://flash-gord... (linked-to from Wikipedia) has:

> % modulus operator: 3.3.5

which seems off to a good start for K&R, but then also has:

> remainder operator, %, 3.3.5

and 3.3.5 says "the result of the % operator is the remainder" -- not a whiff of a modulus present there.

Thanks!
But is it really email as we know it? It looks more like a private message system like you find in forums and social networks.

In France, we are not as advanced as Estonia when it comes to e-government services, but we have an official identification system called "France connect", and government services have private messaging systems to communicate with them. And I think many countries have similar systems. The only difference seems to be that it is better integrated in Estonia.

China Announces Crackdown on Religious Content on the Web
The Measures follows complaints by President Xi Jinping that prohibitions against using the Internet to “advertise” religion are easily eluded, and more should be done to make sure that the Internet and social networks are not used as tools for “religious propaganda.”

The Measures require an “Internet Religious Information Service License,” which can only be granted to organizations part of the five authorized religions (since they should be “legally established,” which is only possible within the five government-controlled organization), to disseminate religious content via the Internet. Any other reference to religion on the web is declared illegal.

One of the things I've heard repeatedly from pilots is that first solo flight changes everything. Before that, you're just some human. Afterwards, you are some human who can fly. Everything is somehow different, although I've never seen anyone really successfully describe how. I suspect it's different for everyone. But then I'm not a pilot.

The scroll up on IRC problem is typically solved with various "bnc" or "bouncer" mechanisms.

I've also encountered an IRC server that caches and rebroadcasts the last hour of messages.

But yeah with IRC you run into the problem that it wasn't originally designed for that use.

> Mastodon proved that you can actually build a usable app on a federated service

I don't see how anything needs to be "proved." Do we actually need proof that IRC could cache messages and repeat them for joining clients? It just wasn't originally designed that way.

XMPP also has an extension for caching the scroll.
Ask HN: Should I sell my software to my employer?
I work in a niche industry that has traditionally made imperfect use of equipment designed for other industries. I was hired as a part-time assistant and quickly identified numerous pain points in the process and began exploring the problem as a side project.

Fast forward a few years and my software is currently running this sector of the business. I have significantly streamlined a historically unreliable process. While I developed it in my own free time, I am now salaried at a level that is high for the industry but low for an engineering position. The company is going through rapid expansion, morale is low, and burnout is a constant threat.

The CEO has indicated that they would like to "control their destiny" and as such wants ownership rights to my software. They've offered $10k, which is not a life changing amount of money for me. I suspect that rejecting this offer may eventually lead to a termination of my employment.

I like my job and the autonomy it affords me, but I do not have an interest in sacrificing my side project for the enrichment of my employer. Should I sign their agreement? Would this sale preclude me from offering a similar SaaS product at a later time? Is there a way to appraise software to improve this judgement call?

Assuming humans are somewhat rational it must produce something! At its worse interpretation it could be a casino.

Humanity does a whole lot of wasteful things. Should we ban music, too? Parks perhaps? Switch to plain clothing?

In other words, who are you to decide what's wasteful and what should be banned?

I would more consider the ad industry to fit this definition. Yet I saw no computation how much energy and human brains it is wasting.
Good paper—it was the primary source we looked at when implementing these operations in Julia. Specifically, Julia implements all versions and overloads `div` and `rem` to take a rounding mode argument. It also gives special names to a few of them and they come in pairs: `div` & `rem`, `fld` & `mod` (`fld` stands for “floored divide” as opposed to `div` which rounds towards zero). The `%` operator does remainder like C, which was a tough call, but we figured being compatible with C was worthwhile for people porting code. It’s also less useful in Julia due to default 1-based indexing of arrays; for that there is a `mod1` function that returns a value between 1 and n.
These models helped me to realize that people are extremely different in what they need & want. This is what most people probably should learn from these.

I personally did like the Enneagram personality types. It made me realize how I had a totally different way of looking at the world. It's probably a better model than Disc, because it does include healthy and unhealthy levels, which is always extremely important if you want to understand people in general.

I think management applying any kind of model in such a simplistic model is just setting them up for failure. The right kind of thinking would probably have been: "those two are butting heads; let's find out why". The reason for butting heads is not that they have a D in their profile, it's just a correlation.
> The difference between "speculation" and "scams, fraud, and similar" is in the eye of the beholder.

The definitions of those terms really comes down to intention: a scammer is selling something they _know_ does not deliver what they're promising while a speculator should be making good-faith claims. This line gets blurry with optimism but most of the cryptocurrency speculation which called out is indeed misrepresentation of what a potential buyer would get, such as claiming that an NFT conveys ownership when it does not.
