> Of course the energy requirements are insane and would require some kind of physicists nightmare propulsion system like antimatter rockets. Lose reactor containment and you are instantly converted into plasma and gamma rays. If you hit something the size of a dust particle it will destroy your spacecraft.

And, this one spacecraft needs to be able to slow down, have the telescopes and equipment needed to identify exoplanets and decide they are suitable, have the means to travel all the way there, and have everything aboard to start a complete new viable colony on some unknown planet. It probably needs to bring all the energy for the first few millenna in batteries. That must mean a huge spacecraft, and there also needs to be some way to land it all on the planet, hopefully with all the pieces close to each other. Et cetera.

The engine that got all that close to light speed is just a tiny piece of the puzzle.

> I think it's valid to wonder what the criteria is for a launch.

SpaceX operates on the very edge of what is possible. It seems very likely that they saw this as an opportunity to check how viable a Starlink launch is during these conditions. And better to do it with a 40-sat launch on Falcon than on a 300-sat launch on Starship. This storm was an opportunity to learn and to refine the launch criteria.

To be honest with you, it sounds diva'ish to me, and I've been known to be something of a diva myself.

It's entirely reasonable for a company conducting meetings with outside people to use some kind of wide-spread software, like teams, this software, regardless of your personal opinion, pretty much "just works" and so they save themselves and their interviewees a lot of pain by using it.

I think you should arrange for a conversation with them and talk with them about tools and the software you would be forced to use (and how often/much) and what alternatives are available/acceptable for you to use for the bulk of your work.

Where I am, the systems are running $OS and the official docs talk of $EDITOR, but they have virtualbox and vmware available for you to install, and if linux and vim is your deal, you can go ahead and use that.
I don't believe the odd that you get crushed once if you play it multiple times are not as good as the odd of not getting crushed when playing only one time.

So you have 0.02% chance of getting crushed each time.

(1 - 0.0002)^10950 = 0.1119
1 - 0.1119 = 0.8881

So the probability of getting crushed at least one night over 30 years is ~89%

I think, my stats are from school over 10 years ago.

This is because, for example, if you flip a coin, each time you still only have 50% chance of getting tails. But the chances that you flip it 10 times in a row and never get heads are a lot less than 50%.

That's said. Another tricky bit is, what was measured when we said 1/5000 chance? This is where data can get confusing. Was that the odd of a tree falling at any given night? Or was that the odd of someone being crushed by a tree in their sleep at night? Or was it the odd of someone being crushed by a tree ever? Or the odd of a particular tree falling at night?

That's often where any prediction already begins to break down. For example, sorry to use the vaccines as an example, but when we say 90% efficacy, it means, out of x number of people who got a vaccine during the trial, 90% of those didn't get covid during some period, while in the placebo group it would be some other % who got it.

Reasoning about this already is tricky. You don't know the priors. What was the odd your participants were exposed to COVID? What if you'd measured over a longer period of time? What if that was just a lucky bunch?
Then explain why mainstream media spread missinformation about vaccines (immunity) or origin of virus (bat theory) and not cover any other sensations like dying athletes live (it was just fine to spread fear about collapsing people on street in China), massive protests against mandates all around world (politicans call them terrorists, small minority and then declare state of emergency) or alarming increase of myocarditis of young healthy people after vaccination (media trying to point out that this is because of covid or global warming).

Looks like obvious agenda. People slowly realise it and will stand against it. Enough is enough.

Sure. However, this makes for verbose and wide code, which is not necessarily desirable. It may (arguably) reduce readability. Your brain has to parse and check that each full path is the same, which increase the effort you need to make to properly read the code.

I guess it is a matter of taste.

I guess it depends, I used to travel a lot when I was in my 20s (I guess it would add to about 5 years spread over 8 years period) and now after close to 10 years being home it just feel like it never happened: sure I do have some memories, stories and some connections on Facebook to people I haven't seen in many years. Don't get me wrong it was fun and interesting, but I guess thats it.

But maybe thats me, when I was traveling I was feeling happy and excited, but I feel same just walking in the park outside my home and actually looking forward to just get my coffee at usual place and spend time programming. Basically same routine, now I just have more comfortable setup.
I'm not sure about this. Maybe the example is way too simple but, as the author stated, this can be easily done with already established patterns in Elixir so I don't really see the point/benefit of this. If you want to learn more about working in a Haskell-style there is always Haskell (as is said at the end of the article).

But it is a well written article and easy to follow, so I guess it achieves its goals.

This reminds me of two things. British Weather and the The Myth of Sisyphus.

We have an old saying in the UK (it was popularised by an Austrian band, but it proceeds the song), "everywhere you go, you always take the weather with you'. In the UK it rains a lot, and folks think by going somewhere sunny it will resolve all their issues and lack of meaning in their life. Any change is fleeting and temporary.

The Myth of Sisyphus is a philosophical premise by Albert Camus. Sisyphus was a greek character who the gods had condemned to ceaselessly roll a rock to the top of a mountain, where the stone would fall back of its own weight. The gods believed there to be no more dreadful a punishment that is both futile and hopeless.

The central concern of The Myth of Sisyphus is what Camus calls "the absurd." or absurdism, a universe devoid of the meaning we long from it, as we toil through each day, repeating the mundane.

Camus claims that there is a fundamental conflict between what we want from the universe (meaning or order) and what we find in the universe (formless chaos, often devoid of meaning). We will never find in life itself the meaning that we want to find. Either we will discover a meaning through a leap of faith / dogma, by placing our hopes in a God beyond this world, or we will conclude that life is meaningless and be left with either suffering through or committing suicide.

In The Myth Of Sisyphus Camus claims that the only important philosophical question boils down to suicide and should we continue to live or not? The rest is secondary, because no one dies for scientific or philosophical arguments, they quickly abandon them when their life is at risk. Yet people do take their own lives because they judge them meaningless, or they sacrifice them for "meaningful" causes. This suggests that questions of meaning supersede all other scientific or philosophical questions. As Camus puts it: “I therefore conclude that the meaning of life is the most urgent of questions"

The point Camus is making is that there is no solution to the problem of living an absurd, meaningless existence. His argument is that the only way to confront it is to fully embrace the absurd, discard all hope, and live in revolt by throwing yourself so fully at a task in life that you lose yourself in the joy of the struggle.

Camus emphatically rejects any worldview that would leave us "at peace" with our existence. Our existence is an endless revolt against the Absurd, a 'fuck you' where we are fully aware of the meaninglessness of our lives yet choosing to live regardless.

I have a job satisfaction indicator I like to call “the barbecue factor”.

You’re at a social event with friends and friends of friends. Someone asks “so what do you do?” and you answer.

They either go “huh?”, “ooh neat!” or “oh, gee, yeah isn’t it awful how $industry is $negative_outcome?”

Which of those answers you get can have a big bearing on your job satisfaction.

It feels like the opinions of others shouldn’t be such a big deal. It turns out they are a pretty big deal for me, though. It sounds like it might be the same for you, and I suspect it’s the same for most humans. We’re tribal animals.

Once I figured that out, I started factoring it into my career decisions. I’ve been much happier for it.
Atlas is quite nice. I recently started using it in a typescript/node.js project (which was using liquibase before) and I find the DX to be great.

Primary additional feature I wish it had is support for manual migrations in addition to declarative hcl. So it would be great if I could have a unified changelog or migration list where some of the migrations were autogenerated from the diff in hcl and others were manually written (for things the hcl doesn't current support like procs and triggers) and I could rollback them together if needed.

I also wrote a simple code-generator[1] for typescript & zod to prevent having to duplicate the row types between atlas and ts, which others may find useful. It's still pretty early stage though.

I've used Linux primarily since Debian potato, but the great wizards have not yet convinced me that the tree, starting at the holy / and a system with binaries, their data and their libraries spread throughout the system is a wiser way than each partition an island, and each program living with all it needs in its own folder.

People are consistently surprised that Telegram is not encrypted by default in any setting. You have to create a device-to-device-specific encrypted chat with your counter-party. It's not a reasonable security model, vastly outclassed by (the still quite flawed) Signal.

Ultimately, we need encrypted-by-default messaging based on public/private key pairs (obscured from the uninterested user, of course).
It works, and much faster, awesome! I also wonder if you can suggest some no-JVM streams alternative. No needs for the same API, it is tiny and can be easily rebuilt. I see redpanda has some WASM transforms. Do they have access to something like kafka streams local store? Can I run JS there? I can actually make same transform for WASM, but for now JS is easier as a next step.

That’s the fundamental problem with machine learning. You get no control over what the machine has actually learned.

It’s like GPT-3. In 9 cases out of ten, it responds in a way that lets you think the model has “grokked” facts of the world, and a human like sense of logic. In truth, it hasn’t. It’s just pretending. It’s taking the easy path by parroting back what it has seen before.

They say that ML requires a re-thinking on the part of the developer. Whereas with traditional programming it would be his job to “structure the problem and the path to its solution”, in ML, he should hold back his human notions and let the network discover its own structure.

To use an analogy: Whereas we teach our children concepts step by step - you and me, identifying objects, gasping objects, referring to objects, etc., all the way up in complexity to writing thoughtful comments on HN - the neural network is to be bombarded by unfiltered real world data. And the hope is that, if you just do this long enough, the AI will come up with the important underlying concepts by itself. That is to say, for GPT-3, the idea that words are really describing a real world out there, with objects that have certain properties, and that claims may be true or false. Or, for Tesla, that the car is a physical object in space, and that it can collide with other objects.

This is very unintuitive. It might be the right approach. But if I was building a self driving car, I would want to build that system block by block. Learn the basics. And only proceed to the next level of complexity once I have verified that the previous step has been properly learned.

1. Let the car learn to predict it’s own acceleration, steering and braking.
2. Repeat on different road surfaces.
3. Add other objects to avoid.
4. Train ability to tell objects from non-obstacles (fog, raindrop on camera)
5. Train lane markings, traffic lights on empty roads.
...
X. Throw real world data at it. Now you can hope (and validate) that the model will have the foundation to make sense of it. Like a kid after Highschool. It will still make dumb mistakes. But at least you can talk about them and understand why they happened and take corrective action. Because, while you do not know the other’s mind, you do speak the same language.

With GPT-3 and with FSD, we just have no idea.
Removal of digits reduces reissuances which are annoying for both issuer and customer.
> The concept of “the sphere of possible existences” is not the same as the world (which is an a priori regulative idea) but denotes the infinite possibility determined only by the lack of contradiction.

If we look at the example, the lack of contradiction is one condition, but there is another one - totality.

The sentence "the whole sphere of possible existences, the mortal occupies one part, and the immortal the other." contains the assumption that all objects in the universe are either mortal or immortal, which is questionable e.g. what about the things that are not alive in the first place? e.g. is a chair mortal or immortal?

This issue is not present in the dichotomy between reality and negation e.g. the dichotomy between "mortal" and "not mortal" - here it is easy to sort all possible objects to mortal, e.g. a chair is clearly not mortal. In my view this is the difference between reality and negation.

First, incoming recession is happening right now, so there is no dilemma, will it happen.

Second, let me answer your questions:

- What do you anticipate?

It depends on geopolitical situation, if Ukraine become a crisis center, it will be much worst for us in the Europe (I live in Croatia, EU member state). We are small 3rd world country in Europe, heavily depending on others recourse, so the first strike will be LNG prices, and yes, gasoline prices.

So, I anticipate chaos.

- Do you have plans incase you get laid off?

I have some savings, I can survive until the end of this year with no income and selling my car. Plan is to work whatever is needed to survive.

- Savings? If so for how long?

As I said, I always have at least 1 year in advance for surviving. Spending side is also adjusted to the income side.

- Are you sitting on an inflation hedge?

I would say.

- What business plans may thrive in a recession?

Any plan that finds the sweet spot of USP. I am economist, not a dev, so, for your business to survive in times of recession, sometimes a good plan is to do the opposite, if you can, this can be a investment for the future.

For example, car prices are going high, and you are selling used cars. You know people are getting less for their money, so you have a whole lot of cars siting in the yard, not selling. You could easily drop your maring to bear minimum, just to start selling, and you start driving revenue. What is here much more important, if all in your industry, start to rise prices, if start lowering, you will win on the market.
