Your right! I was just looking at it from the point of view of how efficient does this standard require power plants to be, since 270g of CO2 to run a 1kw heater for an hour seemed high.

If you look at the whole energy supply chain though the picture is probably a lot worse for both, in particular when you account for things like methane leaks or the emissions from transporting + refining oil.
A lot of the work in bigger companies is "backend." You work on APIs that are probably invoked somewhere in the service of a web request, but may not be directly web facing. And if they are web facing, you have a mobile or frontend developer colleague who implements the client.

You don't have to do frontend if you don't want to. Obviously if you want to work in startups and build a product from scratch it'll be pretty important. If you want to work in big companies, the backend path has less skills churn (we don't throw out our framework every 6 months) and higher growth potential (it is easier to have a big impact on the org vs. churning out features, which is a low to mid level position).
Hrm. Good point. I didn't catch that might have been the implication.

However, being professional is also important and I don't consider it a waste. I've experienced the reverse. It was clear after one interview that I was not a fit for the position.

I still ran the interview out even after pointing out that I really wasn't a fit because that's what professionals do. I later got a contract out of that company simply because I was professional about things and so many other people aren't.
Does “flaming liberal” === excusing the CCP’s behavior? At least in the US, the CCP is condemned by most politicians from across the classic liberal-conservative spectrum.
It’s a marsh. Groundwater goes through that … easily.
Space and the surface of Mars are hostile currently and will be early on, but that will gradually improve along with infrastructure. Mars will be easier to improve quality of life on, but space stations or other spacecraft could be made quite nice as well with access to resources like those in the asteroid belt.

If nobody gets through those early rough stages, it can never get better. So from that perspective, the sooner that ball gets rolling the better.
Is there any chance to go even further than this? I'm imaging a public key based authentication scheme.

The user submit their public key to the server first, then in the feature logins, server will generate a challenge for client to decrypt and respond.

Of course the browser can apply some UX magic at the client end, for example displaying a pop window to allow user to select a public key for the authentication process, etc.

It is very obvious that "gain of function" research described here is basally manufacturing biological weapons, but supposedly this is done "the good of all humans" what is just another communist party slogan.

Where are the vaccines or medicine invented by this facility?

I can understand storing and analyzing the viruses. Yet gain of function is basically bioweapon research. How is this even allowed when it breaks bioweapon conventions?

Also isnt the famous wet market in Wuhan like 300 yards from the Chinese center for disease and control building? (Not to be confused with other buildings in same town).
By bribing emission watchers, the same way they bribed politicians that make these ridiculous regulations.
Way too many comments.
If we're talking Swift frameworks, ModelIO (underrated) and ObjectCapture are certainly part of things.
Are you replying to the wrong comment or something? I'm not the guy in that article. I was posting that link in jest.
They are, but there's a system that almost shouts "VEE ONE!" and "VEE TWO!" over a loudspeaker in the cockpit, at least if the flight director is configured properly.

I'm grossly simplifying but V1 is the point where you go "okay, are we SURE we're ready to go flying, y/n?" Around V1, if there are problems with the plane not conducive to flying (engine failure, fire, control surface malfunction especially), you reject the takeoff. On a loaded/fueled commercial jet you run a chance of tire/brake damage because the braking system will be at nearly its limit, and the heat might cause some of the thermal/pressure fuses in the tires to blow.

At V2, that's where you are going flying whether you damn well like it or not, with the only exception being (I believe?) a loss of control surface authority, because in that case, you're not flying, period. Plane on fire? You're going into the air, because if you don't, you're crashing because the plane won't stop before the end of the runway.

Then there's Vr, the point at which you go flying (rotate.)

Just about the only thing on the pilot/copilot's mind around V1/V2 is "does everything feel / sound / look OK?" and then getting as much altitude as quickly as possible once Vr is hit, because altitude is potential energy. Until you have enough altitude such that your glide distance is enough to circle back to the airport and land, you are completely boned if you lose both engines.

The runway is long enough to handle the plane rolling out from V1 to a stop. That means at Vr you aren't anywhere even remotely close to the end of the runway.

Going into the runoff area, but then also failing to climb at a normal rate even after you've finally taken off, is mind-blowingly incompetent. I would think it would almost be a career-ending mistake for both officers. If the first officer was flying the plane but the captain was PIC, the captain should have taken control a second or two after the first officer failed to rotate at V2.

My guess is that the captain was flying and the first officer didn't speak up; especially on the least desirable route people are looking to get promoted out of that hell, and arguing with the captain often isn't conducive to that. Lot of the captains know each other, and even if you get promoted, you stand a good chance of running into one of his buddies.

Edit: forgot to mention, the plane was likely screaming at them for overspeed on the gear and/or flaps, as well.
That sounds very fun :D It very roughly reminds me of what I used to play as a kid in Sweden, which was called "Land and country", though it had a lot less knives.

Each player started with a sector ("country") of a slightly larger circle (~3m diameter), taking turns in order to throw a small stick/shovel into some other country, thus declaring "war" on them. The person who gets "attacked" has to step on the thrown item with everyone else trying to run away as far as possible. Once the item has been stepped on, the attacked person tries to throw the item at a player of their choice. If they hit, they get to "annex" as large a region of that country as they can without lifting either foot from some starting position in their home country.

It always was my favorite game despite apparently not being Buddha-friendly :)
> Make large flying machines to enable cheap and efficient mass transport of people and materials.

You might be interested in ground-effect vehicles which would be much faster than ships, yet still cheaper as well as more energy-efficient than conventional aircraft: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground-effect_vehicle

There are some startups working in this area like the Flying Ship Company: https://flyingship.co/

> So plans to shield lunar occupants using the moon's own materials will need to compensate for the ionizing radiation that those materials are already emitting, separately from cosmic/solar radiation.

It's not really that they're emitting them "separately" -- they're radioactive (with mostly short half lives) largely because of solar bombardment. Thin shielding can paradoxically make things worse by converting high energy protons into more, lower energy neutrons.

If your shielding is thick, the inner layers will rapidly become less radioactive (the important half lives are less than 30 days). The outer layers will keep getting hit by solar protons and creating more unstable elements.

Another major concern in the long term: radon gas. One had better have an inner hull and never rely upon sintered regolith to hold atmosphere.
If an attacker compromises your stored plaintext passwords, they can test those username+password pairs against other online services, since lots of users reuse passwords. If you store hashes instead of the actual passwords, the attacker doesn't get the user's credentials.

You have to use hash functions appropriate for passwords (like bcrypt; don't use hashes like sha256 for this). And if you hashed correctly, it's still practical for an attacker to brute-force simple/common passwords. But at least users with hard-to-guess passwords get protected from your breach facilitating credential stuffing attacks.

Once a Janitor, Now the Bar Mitzvah Photography King of Montreal
Recently started working on a search engine specifically targeted towards finding sperm donors. A friend mentioned they had to go to each bank site individually to find donors and it seemed like a common problem in the space that could be easily solved. I've been maintaining a list of project ideas for some time and now I'm planning to just go through and build some of them out to solve some problems I encounter and think about regularly.

If anyone is willing to collaborate on these or other projects, please let me know (my email address is on my profile)! Following are some of the projects on my list (I realize many are ambitious):

* Personalized finance management - finding financial products for my specific financial situation. Goal is to potentially create a platform that allows me to discover and "install" financial products on my accounts. There's too many fintech companies out there and there's no way that I know of that allows me to discover/try them with minimal work and risk. An app store of sorts would be very interesting to build for this.

* Pet EMR/prescriptions - Every time my vet gives me a prescription and I want to order it online, I have to wait for the eCommerce site to "confirm" the prescription with the vet. If there was a central place to coordinate this information, it could be beneficial to vets and eCommerce sites.

* Creator tools with native NFT minting abilities - Mostly to learn blockchain

* Site to find study partners/groups for taking MOOC courses together - I find I am more committed when there are others I'm accountable to as well

* Crowdfunded, open-sourced Buy-Now-Pay-Later solution - Unsure about the regulations around this, but thought it would be an interesting project to learn risk modeling and have potential virtuous cycles because investors would be inherently incentivized to advocate / evangelize the platform. Also, BNPL platforms tend to skirt the credit score, so open sourcing it would appease regulators. It could also provide a way for companies to white label and start their own BNPL programs.

* Creating a more contextual Google Places / Yelp that enables relevant place discovery

technically I suppose, but PEs don't tend to be relocatable, so if it mapped it in at different virtual addresses that would be extremely unlikely to be backed by the same pages as much of the just-mapped-in code would need relocs

Well, this story aged poorly.
What do "Wuhan wet markets" have to do with anything?

From the article:

The seafood market was almost certainly “just” an early superspreader site, rather than the site of the original spillover event. No bats or pangolins at all, and relatively few mammals of any kind, appear to have been sold at that market, and no sign of SARS-CoV2 was ever found in any of the animals despite searching.
I agree with the comment, other than that the author is (approximately) a woman, and it's incorrect to refer using "he".
The advantage I see on the moon is that you have local mass to use. Yoy can build a large, banked circular track underground ground and then add cars as you expand.

>Fewer gatekeepers, lower development costs, tighter feedback loops.

There are far more gatekeepers when you've got an application spread across the internet. The ISP or Cloud providers can lock you out, you can lose your certificate, DNS, connectivity. The browser, ad-blocker, or a random change to java/javascript, etc can change your results. Governments of all levels, along with their spy agencies, and large profit driven corporations can intervein between your code and the end user.

A cable could get cut, or WiFi go down, a Telco or Apple or Google could decide your "app" isn't in their interest.

>more users -

I agree, but they're used to "free", and aren't always the customer.

>lower development costs

How is having an "app" that works through all the above simpler than a program installed (or just thrown into a folder, and run as a "portable" program) not far easier to support?

You can write to the screen almost directly, and probe files/folders in the same way, with no gatekeepers.

>tighter feedback loops.

Since you can't run it on your desktop and be confident, you have to test across all your users, or a wide swath of output devices, browsers, OSs, etc.
in all honestly, the WSJ article was like when the first time a negative article was published about Enron in 2001. Few believed it, until suddenly and all at once it became obvious that something was wrong.

In hindsight it is easy to say that he was wrong, but major media publications write negative stories about start-ups all the time. The NYTs published a negative story about Tesla in 2013 about how its electric cars did not work well in cold weather, in which the test driver pretended that his tesla ran out of electricity by revving the engine a long time--8 years and 1000s of points higher in share price, so much for that. Look at all the negative stories about Facebook in 2007-2011 for example. Or about Instagram or Uber.
I saw it less than an hour ago, on Firefox Android. Perhaps you need to wait a second after your browser first opens the page, for it to fully load so it can scroll down to the comment anchor. Or just search manually for "nuclear".
As far as spidey sense about technical founders, I would also give a lot of credit to Trevor Blackwell, another one of the four founders.

fwiw the intention of my criticism of the article wasn't to discourage people from learning about and appreciating fungi. My issue with this article is that it simplifies things too much to the point of harm.
In addition, I also recommend watching 4.5 hours of Jamie Metzl, who is on a first name basis with WHO's director Tedros Adhanom and even talks about how he called Tedros on his cell phone a time when it was urgent to relay the message, describe the insanity of what happened in 2020 with regards to Lab Leak theory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K78jqx9fx2I
Water blocks radiation, too. Keep the water supply in clear tanks above the base in spots.
"Moon rush" is far more a media hype phrase than an actual number of rockets launched, or tons of cargo landed, or lunar census.

And I'd bet that all the earth-bound activity involved in a "moon rush" - even one that actually resulted in a more-than-one-digit lunar census, long-term - would have a vastly larger environmental footprint than the rocket launches themselves.
Sometimes it seems as though cognitive dissonance and word-count go hand in hand.
I think the window of opportunity to keep traveling and exploring is closing fast, life's milestones are pretty much happening soon, buying a home, getting married and starting a family. I don't think Ill ever get a chance to live in another country besides the US, even for a short period of time. I probably should settle down at some point instead of constantly leaving friendships behind.

At this point its pretty clear I'll never advance as far as I would like in my physical hobbies without sacrificing a lot in my other aspects of life.

Food and cooking is something I can't really explore beyond a interest and just being an eater. I think this ties back to travel too.

There are a lot of things that are really tied up in academia. I got pretty interested in philosophy of mind last year but my enthusiasm died pretty quickly when I realized there is really no where for me to take this hobby other then satisfying my own curiosity. Somewhat similar in programming, more paths seem unobtainable. I don't think I'll ever do something like work on operating systems, anything that intersects with electronics or cutting edge. I don't have the education or even a way to test the waters. This ties back to before with life's milestones, I don't know if i feel comfortable about a risky career switch when Im making tons doing what I am already.

thats off the top of my head

Gulf carriers in general share that reputation for bad working conditions for crews and bad safety practices.

Your safest choice is a US or EU legacy carrier. But for example in Asia you will not have that choice for local routes. Then there aren't that many things you can see on the outside. But one thing that can help is going with a large airline that also operates long haul flights into the US and Europe. There is a list for example of airlines banned from operating into Europe. You get on that list by having questionable safety or maintenance practices. So being allowed to operate flights to Europe is a small positive signal.
The advantage of declare blocks would be the structure they provide - both in terms of understanding how much memory usage a subprogram can have in branching scenarios, but also as a way of showing the programmer possible areas where the problem might be better broken up into smaller pieces.

Note that within these declare blocks you may also declare new types and further subprograms - something which cannot be done within the body of a C function. Imagine the possibilities there : )
did the real physical thing/test 10 years ago to work with autoparts coating. really cool!
I mean sure. If you can do this you can debug the process (how do you think debuggers are implemented?) and ofc once you're debugging a process you can introduce bugs and cause random havoc.

Linux can do this too with ptrace. And mac has something similar I'm sure, you gotta be able to debug.

Now, the target process can implement countermeasures against you, that's what anti-debug is, but it's impossible in the general case to defend yourself against a debugger with the same privilege level as you. (it is an arms race though, so sometimes it's easiest to resort to kernel-mode anti-anti-debug techniques even against pure user-mode anti-debug. If you do that you need to disable KPP, and you can't disable KPP in the supported way because the supported way is to attach a kernel debugger to the kernel, which will make it obvious that someone is debugging!)
Ask HN: Electic car (new) in Italy for 3000€ only. State pays 85%: is it sane?
Two friends of mine just got an electric car in Italy: the car cost 21.000€, but they received:

* 6.000€ from the State for buying the car

* 4.000€ additional from the State for having destroyed their old car (see note)

* another 8.000€ from their Region (Veneto)

So the final price for a brand new electric car was just 3.000€.

I understand the state is trying not to 'blablabla' on environment with these so called "Eco-Bonus", but does this make sense?

It is a lot of money! and it is still just a car (it's not ....a scholarship)

note: the marked value of their used car (now destroyed) was about 1000€, but you get the 'bonus' no matter the value.

There are currently no mainstream keyboard apps on iOS that have a dedicated comma key, as far as I know. SwiftKey on iOS lacks substantial features, including this very basic one.

Coupled with the hobbled notification system and the inconsistent back button behavior (sometimes swipe, sometimes top left button, sometimes dedicated home row), the experience on Android is better even if the minor features described in the article are sometimes missing.
The users have a job to do, they want to be able to do it via their laptop, tablet or phone. The tools exist to make it happen, as cobbled together as they are, so they don't care about UI anywhere near as much as a power user on a desktop connected via Gigabit to the servers in an office environment.

We were able to cobble together enough things via the web to make it possible for the user to get things done, with very rough edges, which have been sanded off a bit in the past decade. It is still light years less productive than the desktop power user, but the corporations and end users don't care.

Eventually we'll have programs that run on the end user's machine inside a VM, talking to the servers hiding behind web servers, doing a crude imitation of IBM 3270 terminals used in the 1970s for data entry. Everyone will herald it as success.
