A lot changed.

Basically, fundamental disagreements with Europe over predicate treaties mean that the thing we committed to do (remain part of ITER) is under threat, because other things we committed to do (uphold transition agreements regarding Northern Ireland) are in default.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/feb/08/uk-and-euro...

In this case, the EU is saying, sorry, you possibly can't stay a member of our science club because you promised you'd do certain things that underpin an internationally agreed peace process and you are undoing them.

It's a completely legitimate political bargaining point that would not be an issue at all without Brexit.

The intent to remain members of ITER and Horizon 2020 is genuinely at risk.

All of this underpins my point: everything is more complex because of Brexit -- even staying in things we've said we really really want to stay in.

Mind you, I much prefer gmail search to outlook search, but Google Calendar is so annoying to use that I'll vote for MS tools (except Teams) every day of the week.
How much life experience do young people need to understand that they're being screwed over and that the society in which they live is becoming ever more tilted towards the benefit of the rich?

In Spanish, software developer is 'desarrollador de software' and software engineer is 'ingeniero informático'. Probably the translation is not exact, but if it were:

Developer is someone who develops, who makes/transforms things. Software developer is someone who makes/transforms software.

Engineer is someone who studied engineering, a career. Software engineer is someone who studied the software engineering career.

So, at least in Spanish, a software engineer is someone who has a degree in software engineering, no matter what his job is. And a software developer is someone who writes code, no matter what his studies are.

Usually those terms intersect, but not necessarily. I think it's a similar different of a particular teacher vs a professional professor.

Fixing flaky dbt tests with a sync cutoff
Omicron is great at evading antibodies (luckily the T cells are still working in my vaccinated body for serious complications), so at this point vaccination rules outside hospitals have no medical value (limiting superspreading events may still help, but at this point it's hard to know).

I also saw the anti-governent signs, but I don't blame the people for it, although it may make the protest less effective in achieving something on the short term.

I have seen far right protests before, and this just doesn't look like that, even if it was initiated by a far right group.

indisputably the accepted and intended meaning of the phrase wherever English is spoken

Not exactly. In American English "bring a pot to a boil" is much more common. When I read "enough energy to boil 60 kettles of water" I thought "vaporize".
Let's say I know neither. Which should I pick and why?
Every kid is different and I try to never second-guess others' parenting style.

Rules and limits are important and I agree the screen offers quicker gratification, so we as parents must set and enforce those rules.

That said, this changes the subject a bit, as we were talking about learning to code.

That's empathically not an instant gratification and we should not equate time spent in front of screen with time spent learning, expanding understanding of logic, cause and effect, structure, etc. And while kids are happy to spend hours gaming, I haven't seen many (in my social circle) that would be happy spending hours debugging some Python, Lua or Sketch code.
I love it when "critical" of tech companies is transformed into "attacking". The tech industry is now the biggest industry in the world, ranking billions in profits every year, having the power to influence elections, human rights violation, etc. Of course they should be criticized and not get a free pass.
Too many years they were only reported as "startups" doing "good".
ITER was planned in part through early results from JET in the 90s - but they more recently replaced the inner wall of JET to match what ITER will use, which was a good choice according to models but this gives empirical confirmation that it's possible to sustain the plasma using the new wall material.

All new fusion plants are a risk, that's why they're experimental. I suspect they were reasonably confident they could make ITER work and that's why they started building, but this will give them confirmation that the material choice was a good one and will also show them in advance some of the operational obstacles and possible solutions.

In other words, they knew "where they were going to go" but this gives them more confidence they were correct in deciding the direction, and will speed up their learning curve setting up the machine once built. Even if it is built and something fundamentally doesn't work about the concept, that will still be useful scientific knowledge, even if it is disappointing.
I'm not quite sure why but I have this flashback-like feeling from blockchain with this Q_total < Q_plasma confusion.
Oh god. Format string bugs in infotainment systems that can be triggered by careless radio stations. What could possibly go wrong.
Problem with ITER is it's not 1 country, it's lots, and they all want their piece of the pie instead of doing it efficiently
In my experience the professor-authored books are not the same story. Professors teach one or two sections and earn a few dollars per book (author share on technical books is small!). Their main optimisation using the book they wrote is reduced preparation time to teach as they know that version inside and out.
Taleb also discussed this in his work.

There’s a difference between expected value of number of days you’ll survive and the number of days a given fraction of the subjects will survive, but I don’t see either supporting the claim “If you do it every day, you have about 15 months to live”.

(215/216)^450 ≈ 0.124

, so about one in eight will survive for 15 months or more. The “5% probability to live” time is around day 645 (about 1¾ years):

(215/216)^645 ≈ 0.0501

the “half will survive at least for” point is around 5 months:

(215/216)^149 ≈ 0.501

Yeah, that’s why tech datacenters were up while people froze in their homes. Corporations know to negotiate these things. Individuals either don’t have the opportunity or prioritize price.
I don't think this can be true. Consider if you start with x money and want to reach x+epsilon. Then the first bet in an optimal strategy should be to bet epsilon (if you win you reach your goal, and if you dont the setback is smaller than kelly).

In some jurisdictions "engineer" is a protected term. You can't just go around calling yourself a Software Engineer because you graduated from a 2 month boot camp and feel like that's a nice sounding title. At least, you're not supposed to, and can be reprimanded for it.

Do you happen to have a link to that twitter thread? I'm curious to read it.
Journalists get caught in a local maximum: the more they move toward proclaiming loudly and fervently the most common narrative, the more success they have locally in the graph. But to achieve big success requires big risks outside the local curve exploring uncommon narratives. This may require a short-term loss of income/eyeballs that the professional journalist can't afford.
I'm not Ancapistani but I think iNav is more suited to that sort of thing, over Betaflight. I don't have any experience with it personally though.

Also check out OpenHD. It's a 100% open source HD/Digital FPV system with unconventional use of Wifi (I think it's monitor mode or something?). It's not typically used for FPV because of the high latency and time to reacquire after signal loss. But if you're going autonomous then why not?

> The deorbiting satellites pose zero collision risk with other satellites and by design demise upon atmospheric reentry—meaning no orbital debris is created and no satellite parts hit the ground. This unique situation demonstrates the great lengths the Starlink team has gone to ensure the system is on the leading edge of on-orbit debris mitigation.

Kinda strange to make your prediction on this story.
Interesting article. A new manifestation of the priestly class that Nietzsche went on about in the Genealogy of Morality?
Given Musk's email about SpaceX being close to bankruptcy, how will this affect them financially? Can SpaceX survive without a bailout? What would a bailout look like, another Solarcity?

https://spaceexplored.com/2021/11/29/spacex-raptor-crisis/

"Unfortunately, the Raptor production crisis is much worse than it had seemed a few weeks ago. As we have dug into the issues following the exiting of prior senior management, they have unfortunately turned out to be far more severe than was reported. There is no way to sugarcoat this...

...we will need all hands on deck to recover from what is, quite frankly, a disaster.

The consequences for SpaceX if we can not get enough reliable Raptors made is that we then can’t fly Starship, which means we then can’t fly Starlink Satellite V2 (Falcon has neither the volume nor the mass to orbit needed for satellite V2). Satellite V1, by itself, is financially weak, while V2 is strong.

In addition, we are spooling up terminal production to several million units per year, which will consume massive capital, assuming that satellite V2 will be on orbit to handle the bandwidth demand. These terminals will be useless otherwise"
> Coding is a life skill, since most of us will need to use a computer for work in some capacity

There might have been good reasons to believe this 20 years ago, but today's computer users may not even know (and not need to know) where their files are located in a file system or whether they are on their local disk at all. I think we are at a point where you can use a computer without knowing pretty much anything besides what UI designers choose to present you.
Ah OK. I have heard of this. Can you live in other areas as well, like say you wanted to move to Belgium or Germany while keeping your business in NL. You could do that with a DAFT visa?

>> Young victims of schoolyard bullying could in the past retreat to safe spaces

I don't think you meant it this way but what you're saying there is that victims of bullying who have been physically harmed in school yards could have just retreated to a safe space and avoided it. Clearly that's not true. I don't think you meant that but the words you've used are clearly wrong.

The one advantage of social media is that it does have an off button, in a way that the bully screaming in your face in the lunch hall queue does not.

>> This is why tween suicide rates are skyrocketing

I'm sure it's a contributing factor but this is just a statement we can't back up other than with faith that we think we understand what's happening. The truth is we don't fully understand.

>> to embarrass you

It is definitely a viable medium for bullys to harm victims. What i'm getting at is the problem is the bullying rather than the medium. If you play whackamole with all the ways a person can persecute another, you'll never solve it.

>I was quite surprised to see that after writing the script they had stand-in actors do the entire script, which they then did animatics (storyboards times to the recorded audio) to, after which they edited the story. Only then did final actors record. Then redo animatics and editing before doing final animation

I have no experience in animation, however that process is not unlike the common process in music production: a song is written, a demo is cut by the songwriter, a "scratch track" is cut by the chosen lead vocalist and an instrument or two, then the arrangement is recorded by the band (to the scratch track), then final vocals are cut to the band's backing track, and often after that tweaks to the accompaniment are still made.
Everything is hard to google for engineering these days.

It's only an issue here because the satellites fly so low that they could be closer than the equivalent node in a land-based link and they're designed to sacrifice themselves rather than risk causing problems. They can replace all of these with one launch.

The science fiction you're thinking of assumes satellites are difficult to make, expensive to replace, and create a hazard when they fail. That will become less of an issue in time. Even the expensive ones could have a temporary equivalent launched to cover their function while a new long-term satellite is built.

> but trade is not the limit of what Brexit changed.

Here in lies the problem that many Brexitiers had with the EU - it wasn't just a trading bloc, the "club" had a lot of baggage that few people understood - and when people don't understand something, they fear/misstrust it. The message around leaving was focused on GDP and whether we would have roaming chargers or not... and this message fell flat with a lot of voters.

I blame the remain side with arrogance and a complete lack of understanding how to deliver a good message.

I voted remain BTW, but feel we had a fair vote and it is what it is.
When Java was first conceived UTF-16 didn't exist, but we shouldn't rewrite history entirely here, Java 1.0 and Unicode 2.0 (with UTF-16) are from the same year. It would have been wiser (albeit drastic) to pull char in Java 1.0, reserve the word char and the literal syntax and spend a year or two deciding what you actually wanted here in light of the fact Unicode is not going to be a 16-bit encoding.

And again, I don't think Java probably needed 'char' at all, it's the sort of low-level implementation detail Java has been trying to escape from so this is a needless self-inflicted wound. I think there's a char in Java for the reason it has both increment operators - C does it and Java wants to look like C so as not to scare the C programmers.

C's unsigned char could just be named "byte" and if signed char must exist, call that "signed byte". The old C standard actually pretends these are characters, which of course today they clearly aren't which is why this is a thread about UTF-8. I don't have any objection to a byte type especially in a low-level language.

Presumably your Rust annoyance is related to things like String::insert? But I don't understand how this problem arises, if you are inserting characters at random positions in a String, that's just going to be nonsense. I can't conceive of a situation where I want to insert characters (or sub-strings) unless I know where they're supposed to go exactly relative to what is in the string already, whereupon it won't panic.
For a long time I was all fussy about having to create a security exception for self-signed certificates. One day I realized I was acting insane, as if there was some glorious principle involved. There isn't.

I trust my own (or coworkers) certificates. It's a dev site for heavens sake.

Ever since, ssh-keygen all the way.
In the vast majority of the US, being able to safely back up _is_ required for the safe operation of a vehicle. I recall my drivers license test included a driving-in-reverse section. You will also frequently need to be able to back out of a parking spot, or a driveway. Even if its not critical, its as close to critical as can be. When your rear view mirror and your side mirrors combined cannot give you enough visibility to safely back up, a rear-view camera quickly becomes critical.
>but I'm also absolutely willing to bet that Tesla and every other system would get through an approval process just fine.

It would be Diesel Gate all over again. The testing would have to be documented somewhere and the car could just be trained for the test scenarios. Considering how often Tesla like to massage their numbers (nurburgring data, sales figures in basically every country, most recently Australia, the big asterisk next to their 1.9s 0-60 run, etc etc) I can't trust they wouldn't train directly for the test and neglect everything else just so they can have the best headlines once again.
Pardon the analogy, but bringing up Q_engineering in this context is like someone shopping for a car running into Ford's engine design department and complaining that the engineers are not using the car's fuel economy to increase the engine's performance.

How much power the subsystems takes has no influence on the plasma's performance. How much power goes into the plasma (and what type of power and where and when, etc.) do influence the plasma's performance.
It really isn't. IPFS and the likes have to get pinned and pinning for federation still has issues. You'd need a descent amount of users and volunteers to keep something afloat.
The low FPS also helps in disguising the theater. Lots of things in movies are fake, and if it was in 60 FPS you’d be able to see clearly what is happening. Additionally it helps in making still things stand out, like scenery or the main character in a crowd.

For real things like sports and esports, more FPS is used because instead of hiding things you want to show things.
