Fusion is still at the phase of fundamental research in some areas, while others are in a sort of "engineering research".

Either way, it's actually hard to imagine fusion will ever be a promising power source, at least with any tech resembling what we know today. It is extremely complex technology living in proximity to extreme radiation bombardment and extreme temperature differences. A fusion reactor will need basically complete replacing every 20 years in the best possible conditions, assuming nothing goes wrong. Re-building the most expensive power plant in the world every decade or two is not likely to be a great way of powering your country.

Also, despite the common narrative, it requires an extremely rare fuel: tritium. Basically the only way to create tritium is to run a fission reactor, which negates the safety promises of fusion.

I think overall wind+solar+fission are a much better and safer investment in the future. Fusion is fine as an experiment progressing along in the background, but nowhere near as promising as it's made out to be.

The Trash-80 was the first computer I could use alone - my older brother wouldn't let me touch his Apple ][. It was 1982 and 1983, and the principal of my elementary school had one in his office. He let me skip some of my 1st and 2nd grade days to hang out in the closet in his office where he had the thing. I wrote games, and played the games I had written. The slipperiest slope I have ever skied.
Not really. It's still tied to the element's width and will overflow vertically. Even if using a flex/grid container with a different axis, it will only constraint the aspect ratio to its width.

Which means that if you want to have something like a video player in the viewport like YouTube does, or lightbox-style previews which keep the entire media element in viewport you'll still have to use JS to limit the element's height, or if the design allows for it, use viewport height units + calc.

I don’t inherently disagree agree with you but 9k lbs isn’t too far out of the range of normal passenger vehicle weight. But I would agree that many vehicles in the US and North America are probably oversized.
> Provolone seems to be a fairly 'American' cheese.

It's definitely quite common in Italy (together with the smaller "provola"), but not so much in other EU countries.

> I've also noticed that at least some cheese sold as "Provolone" in the US isn't actually from Italy

This doesn't surprise me... I hear that there is also plenty of "Parmesan-like" cheese sold in US supermarkets too (not sure how good or bad it resembles actual Parmesan).

What do you mean by "civilized jurisdictions"? I don't know any place that explicitly adjudicates the separation of unmarried couples as though it was legally equivalent to a formal divorce. You'll have to be more specific.

Unmarried couples may fall into one of two types: common-law marriages and meretricious relationships. In the US, the former is approved by a vanishingly small number of states. The latter has no legal rights to property division or palimony without an explicit cohabitation contract. Even then, many states don't recognize palimony at all.
The claim was not about Europe, nor about the EU: it was about Europeans, namely that they wouldn't be so 'irresponsible' as to run a towerless airfield.

The citizens of St. Barts are French. Are you claiming they aren't European? Tell me, do they become European when they visit the Metropole? Does this quality vanish when they return to the Caribbean? I'd love an explanation!
Wow, that's really cool.

> In January 2020, Visa first showcased the power of “Tap to Phone,” an industry-first solution that transforms current generation Android smartphones and tablets into contactless point of sale terminals. Tap to Phone was Visa’s first offering that let sellers accept payments on the devices they already own, just by downloading an app. As of December 2021, there were more than 300,000 devices across 54 countries using Tap to Phone.

I'm curious how the overall transaction/security flow works, broadly speaking.

It sounds to me like you managed to figure out a solution that satisfies the security posture of the ordinary app sandbox (ie without requiring any entitlements on iOS, or priv-app partnerships on Android). That's kind of incredible IMO. Are you using the Secure Enclave on iOS, and if you are, what are you actually storing in there? I'm curious if Android gets to play too given that it doesn't have the same sort of security guarantees, and if so, how.

I also get the impression the actual validation/verification (including steps that I would assume would typically happen on a payment terminal) has been moved to the cloud somehow. I'm very curious how that works too.

Presumably you would've also needed to design something capable of withstanding absolute worst-case scenarios like memory inspection on a rooted phone, or NFC sniffing/proxying/emulation.

Maybe you're just sending all the card data straight back to the cloud? That would pretty much solve everything :)

Also... while engineers are always going to gravitate towards balanced analyses of benefits and tradeoffs, the questions above are not coming from that perspective :) I'm very happy to hear whatever you can share about the security of the platform. (I'm just a random consumer who occasionally boggles at JavaCard when I pay for stuff lol)
> Why would you have different default behaviours if you have one of the dimensions set but not the other?

Basically: be there or be square (fill up the space or not, your choice), but if you show up there’s a dress code (you can only fill up the space as specified).

> Oh look, lets define a new property and call it aspect ratio, and then lets ensure it doesn't maintain an element's aspect ratio if you have content that is going to overflow if you specify a width. This is what drives me mad about css, it's gotchas all the way down.

There’s a lot I don’t like about CSS, but this is just the spec avoiding undefined behavior. No one is using aspect ratio for unbounded text in practice, they’re using it for media or a design system. Knowing how it behaves for edge cases is much better than having a protracted battle for years while vendors sort it out, with different assumptions in the wild.
Ask HN: What is your “I don't care if this succeeds” project?
Last February there was, in my opinion, a really uplifting thread with the same title¹. I'd like to see all the cool new things going on, and I'll steal the intro text from as89 to explain:

One where you don't care if it makes money or gets a lot of attention, but you are working on it regardless. I don't think I mean private hobbies, exactly, but projects that could or will be shared with others - you just don't care about the outcome.

The only reason I read Forbes is that some science writers I enjoy are still on it:

- Starts With A Bang [ https://www.forbes.com/sites/startswithabang/ ], a column by Ethan Siegel, who covers cosmology

- Grrlscientist [ https://www.forbes.com/sites/grrlscientist/ ], an evolutionary ecologist who covers fascinating stuff on biology (especially on birds)

Otherwise, I may occasionally glance at other Forbes articles.
> do you keep every photo you take, even bad ones?

Unfortunately yes. This is the problem with digital photos, at least on a phone: the effort to remove the bad ones is not worth it for someone like me who takes pictures occasionally and never looked at them anyway (this is why I do not take a lot either)

I wonder if people who are not into photography actually manage their photos (sort, tag, prune)?
Read the article:

> Davis specifically alleged that four seconds were missing from the final moments of the flight — enough to put the engine response outside the certification requirements. His main evidence was an apparent disagreement between the time stamps on the ATC transcript and the flight data recorder. The FDR had a “radio transmit” parameter, which showed up in the data four seconds after the final air traffic control transmission. But this was actually a really basic misunderstanding of how the FDR works: the “radio transmit” parameter is only recorded when one of the pilots makes an outgoing transmission, not when an incoming transmission is received. The data point corresponded to Mazières’ reply to the transmission, not the transmission itself, and matched up perfectly with the official timeline.

Exactly. The aspect-ratio property works the same way as the padding hack does. It calculates the height based on the rendered width. You can't do it the other way around, even if using a different axis inside a flex or grid element.

You still can't have a div in the middle of the screen, which will have a maximum (intrinsic) width/height, a set aspect ratio, and which will respond to resizing the window vertically. It will simply overflow.
Headscale seems even better! They've taken what tailscale has done and improved it even more by allowing it to be a completely self hosted and private solution.
> Consider, for example, the obsession in Christian countries with equality.

Citation needed.

> They almost fall over themselves to welcome people from different ethnic backgrounds. I suspect this has something to do with Christianity’s origins as a Jewish religion adopted by the Gentiles.

Yet Christian kingdoms had zero qualms about persicuting Jews for centuries.

> I mean, how many societies have a religion centered around some other ethnic group?

You mean like Islam which has over 1.9 billion adherents and privileges a language spoken by 300 million Arabs?
Hmm could try something, Glassdoor, Indeed and Dice have a lot of them, so I could filter out them or put less weigth on their job offers.
What also needs to be solved, is, what is considered to be a 'Python' job for example. If python is a on a job 'tag', I count it, but many offers have many tags with many different languages and frameworks, and that is no good for the study.

I am not a dev, but I seat a lot, as you. I am retired mma fighter, and I have some military background, so my days are scheduled like military. Why I am saying this, is to help you find 30-60 minutes per day for your body.

Back then, I had 1 - 2 trainings per day, now, well, I don't. Now, I ride MTB, and as I am competitive as much as I was when I was younger (now I am 39), so I go to XCM races.

How my day looks like, I am trying always, to have between 11:00 and 12:00 time for my body, that's in my schedule, and as I work from home, being with lockdowns and everything, I have a simple setup at my home to do basic training - pull ups, squats, abs etc..

And if you are a tech guy, and I think you are, my recommendation is PS VR, I have that, and I got that Beat Sabre game, man, my Garmin watch records about 300-450 kcal in 30 minutes of intensive playing of Beat Sabre, and yeah, it keeps you really active.

So, even if you are at home for days, you can do some physical things at home. Just, put it in your schedule, made it mandatory.

I don't think it's about the Pascal syntax. Nobody complains about using Lua, Ruby, Crystal, Elixir. Do...end blocks are perfectly fine syntax wise. Go is a Wirth lineage language too. The issue is tooling, languages like VHDL and Ada (to a lesser extent SQL too) have poor developer experiences and they never bothered to improve and add more syntactic sugar like C++ and Java.

I was surprised to find the word "to abseil" being known in the UK. It clearly is of German origin and used literally (eg. to descend a mountain on a rope = Seil) as well as figuratively (to sneak out of an unpleasant situation).
I want to add double emphasis on this. Christianity before and without the Greek philosophical influence is primarily a religion of itinerant ascetics and martyrs (without the abstract ideals added, almost all of the story in the Gospels boils down to an itinerant ascetic being martyred).

Some of the earliest extant texts in Christianity come from Justin Martyr, who, just a century after Jesus, was already workshopping the idea that Plato and Socrates were unknowing Christians that laid a philosophical ground for Christianity.
>Meanwhile, somehow inheritance is treated as largely untouchable money. How does that make sense?

That depends on how one's finances are set up beforehand. There are quite a few financial instruments that are almost always untouchable. One such instrument is the irrevocable trust. In short, an irrevocable trust isn't owned by the trustee/divorcée. As a result, anything awarded from it is not subject to property division.

"better"? Every tool has pros and cons and tradeoffs. I run Linux, Windows, and MacOS. Each one has it's pros and cons. Each is the "better" tool depending on the need.

The same goes for programming languages and engineering problems. I train my team to identify multiple possible solutions to a problem then identify pros and cons and then pick the solution that optimizes for the most important goal. There is rarely a "right" solution.

> your goal is still to “get above it”

Your goal is get out of way. On the runway you can't go lower, you can't maintain level (you never can be sure how far and how fast the incoming plane), you can't go to the side (rudders are an option but you need to be airborne and be sure you still have the time, see level) so your only option is to go up and then go to the side.

Less of surprise, more of need to take an immediate action, again you can't judge the speed and distance of the airplane of unknown (and often even known) type. To see how hard it is search Youtube for aircraft carrier landings videos.
It's possible they totally disagree with your worldview that the primary way to view the world is by comparing how you're doing with others.

Quite a lot of people vote for the system they think will bring the best outcomes for all. Some people think it's by levelling outcomes; others by increasing opportunity.

Assuming the increasing opportunity people are doing it to feel superior is likely false, and also likely just a way to feel superior to them.
In the EU you need a goods vehicle (truck) license to drive a vehicle + contents weighing more than 3,500kg (7,700lbs). Even most RVs here come well under that limit so you don't need a special license.

FreeCAD->OpenSCAD->Fusion->back to OpenSCAD.

Some tasks are extremely easy in OpenSCAD. Fusion is not that hard either, but it is a commercial tool with a free-ish version where they keep your designs hostage. It doesn't run on Linux which makes life hard for multi platform folks. Also, in past I have had issues with STL generated by Fusion.

OpenSCAD is not perfect though, for example is missing important functions such as alignment and assembly

The base specs of lisp/scheme aren't statically typed. If some lisp-like is statically typed from square-one, that's nice, but it's not really lisp at that point.

If I can copy-paste unmodified CL code into Coalton, and it still runs, then Coalton's typing isn't particularly strict. If I can't--if I have to add some form of escaping or FFI decoration--then Coalton isn't lisp. Not that that is a bad thing--just wasn't what I was writing about.
About the Tenerife disaster:

- it was over 40 years ago (1977).

- it occured in exceptional circumstances (the Tenerife airport was overloaded because Gran Canaria airport was closed due to a terrorist incident).

- having a tower didn't help a lot because of thick fog. They didn't have ground radar either, but that probably wasn't unusual for a "provincial" airport in 1977.
I thought vs code ran natively as a Windows app and just used a remote connection to wsl to do file management and run cli commands ?

I don't think vs code is running inside the wsl environment directly.

More crucially, neither is preventing warfare. After WWII, the victors believed that another large war could destroy humanity - not necessarily because of nuclear weapons, but due to the incredible damage their WWII technology did, and considering future improvements. The UN and (the predecessor of) the EU were founded especially to prevent another major war.

Also, they knew, after WWI and WWII (and all the prior wars) that without serious effort and dedication, warfare can happen whether or not anyone really wants it.
