This sort of thing might work in the heart of the Alps where there are villages and helipads scattered around the bases of these giant mountains, but absolutely do not rely on this type of rescue method in North America. The rate of survival after just 20 minutes of being buried drops logarithmically. Pulling someone out alive after 3 hours of burial as per this story is an extreme outlier.

Also not to criticize but they got warning that someone was buried, got airborne in their helicopter, but then flew 8 minutes out of their way to a neighborhood to pick up a doctor first? That seems like a huge waste of time when every minute counts. Not to mention that searching a slope that just slid with a loud, powerful helicopter can easily cause additional slides onto the same area.

The only way you're going to survive a full avalanche burial in the US or Canada is if you have an active beacon strapped to you and someone onsite survives the slide and finds you with their beacon + probe. Then they need to shovel through dense avy debris which is essentially cement. When snow slides, it rapidly heats up and then when it stops, it rapidly cools and hardens around a slide victim. Priority is to find the victim's head and clear the airway, then assess for injuries and warm them up.

Helicopters aren't the "new age". Maybe someone will come up with a better way to precisely find victims than the current beacon technology. Maybe airbag technology will improve and become more successful. Maybe we'll go back to the really old days and ski with balloon attached to our waist to help quickly mark a burial location.

Taking an AIARE course really opens your eyes to the violence and unpredictability of avalanches. Those cute ski dogs are there to find your dead body, not dig you out alive. Helicopters are there to transport you after you've been dug out, not to land and rescue you from burial. Be smart out there folks.

If you're curious about learning more, read the incident reports from fatal avalanches. Centers around the country do very thorough examinations of each incident, and post them publicly complete with images, terrain reports, weather reports, and sometimes video reports. https://utahavalanchecenter.org/avalanches/fatalities

In Britain, too, suffragettes only wanted upper class ladies to have the vote. Both male and female domestic servants, who made up the majority of the working class at that time, where intentionally excluded.

But "Votes for some women!" doesn't have quite the same ring to it.
Right, Apple is only providing the hardware and it requires to use a (partnered) processor, like Stripe, which was the example they used in their recent announcement. Stripe coincidentally sells chargeback protection as a service https://stripe.com/radar/chargeback-protection if that is a concern.

I think that is slightly misleading, all the client diversity efforts is focused on Ethereum 2.0 now, as the old clients will be dead soon. [1]

Why can't the merged branch contain commits that don't compile? As long as it has a clean commit message, I don't see the issue. It's just part of the history. On that day you e.g. committed some broken prototype code so your teammate could improve it. So?

If I clean up something I only do it for new commits before they are ever pushed to remote. My rule is basically to never rewrite history, that someone else might already have checked out on their machine.
I feel your pain,

I try to mitigate this as much as possible with templating projects. I use https://gitlab.com/reedrichards/cookiecutter-goapp for small webservers and this generates the infra i need for aws, and go has been a relatively simple development and packaging platform for me.

I am also working at https://brev.dev and have been using their product at work and on personal projects to help standardize my development environment well. I often found myself at other companies constantly fire fighting developer environments falling into entropy and wishing for something like this so we can not having to worry about the different configurations of N developers * M machines.

> Looks to me, if you're unique enough, they will come, but if you're not, tough - perhaps nobody really needs another crappy version of what's already out there.

You should try raising funds with that attitude. See what YC's response is during an interview when you suggest that your marketing plan is to be "unique enough [that] they will come".
Of course, no one will know for over a decade while these are being built. Assuming they come in on schedule. And that France ever admits the costs. And by then people will be on to arguing the next next generation really will be much better this time...
I feel like a bunch of the points on this list actually have an analog in Guzey's argument? Brushing teeth, for example - we do it to have a "clean" mouth, but a lot of people use mouthwash until the bacterial environment in their mouth is a barren wasteland, which is also unhealthy. Moderation is good.

Antibiotics are the same - they can also kill the flora in our intestines, and they can also lead to the creation of much more deadly microbes. Moderation is good.

Painkillers - Literally an opioid epidemic in the US right, not to mention all of the people taking OTC pain medication rather than addressing the cause of the pain, be it an underlying injury or lack of physical fitness, etc. The pain medication allows them to ignore a problem in a way that ultimately makes it worse. Moderation is good.

Harder to find analogs for the other things, and obviously I think all of these things are good on net, but just like food, excessive consumption isn't necessarily good.

> I literally find it impossible to believe this.

Yeah, that was my reaction too. It makes zero sense. Suggesting that actual widespread, repeated 'racial segregation' is happening today in a high-profile, very large, publicly traded Silicon Valley company like Tesla is simply ludicrous. The atmosphere in the valley in recent years is pervasive hair-trigger vigilance from company boards, management, HR and employees against even the slightest appearance of any impropriety.

The current exponentially punitive environment and runaway social media amplification have made the downsides for a public company basically limitless. And what possible benefit could there be from permitting racial segregation? Tesla is nothing if not pragmatic. The "accused" is being pilloried for an alleged "crime" despite the absence of any evidence, motivation or opportunity. It's troubling how the "prosecution" of allegations can now be the punishment.
I started this newsletter in March of last year. So far, I've done about 20 interviews. You can find all of them here: https://www.readoneyearwiser.com/posts

Let me know what you think.
That's really short-sighted. I live in an area where a copper smelter released toxic metals into the air over the region, contaminating the soil. One of the mitigations is to have shoeless homes to protect children and pets from arsenic and lead that is tracked in on shoes.

Yep, every time I'm linked to twitter (I don't have mobile app) I feel myself so old, because for the love of god I can't figure why anyone would use this for communication. Maybe the fact that I don't use it from mobile adds to this.

I use Pycharm/Jetbrains IDE's.

The most valuable tip for any IDE is to thoroughly learn source code navigation. For example putting the cursor on a function and hitting control B (I think, it's programming into my finger memory so I don't know that actual keys) jumps to function declaration - much easier than searching for function definitions. https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/navigating-through-th...

There's alot of value in learning how to move functions and methods via the refactoring tools. Someone else in this thread mentioned the value of learning the refactoring tools.

In Pycharm, go to the trouble to make sure the IDE has the correct Python interpreter and environment configured. Pycharm has good tools for managing venv's too - worth learning.

In Pycharm/Jetbrains IDE's the database tools are extremely good - worth learning.

In general it's worth spending several hours watching YouTube videos on whatever your favorite IDE is.

Another super valuable tip is this - if you send alot of time programming, it's easily worth it to spend hard cash on a top class IDE. Of course there's lots of great free IDE's - depends on your preferences - but for me spending a few hundred $ on Jetbrains is nothing compared to the productivity value I get out of it.
What is Twitter's market? They seem increasingly like just another online community. Most of my feed is the same few Twitter influencers with high follower counts. The drama, conventions, and memes all make it feel insular and hostile to outsiders. Feels more like Tumblr than some global, open, platform.
Really? You'd immediately recognize someone you knew for a few weeks over 20 years ago? You wouldn't need a bit to try to figure out who they are?

If so, then your memory is unusually good. I know that this is well beyond my capabilities. Nor do I have the ability to visit a place that I lived 40 years earlier and find my way around.

Twitter is not set up to know things about people in the first place. Your profile doesn't contain any personal information. Most of the interaction on Twitter is between users, while on FB it can be both users and companies with either ads or corporate posts making it into the feed. You click a post from a clothing company, Facebook will show you a relevant ad a week later. On Twitter on the other hand seems like companies never really bother advertising.
I find it extremely useful to shift focus from "I must get X result" to what actions I can make right now, like within 1 minute.

Thinking about long-term results is stressful, because in reality you only have short term buttons you can push.

It boils down to planning route on graph of small well known actions / api-calls. When the graph does not fit into RAM and you can't find route for too long you feel stressed, and its better to play with small actions just for fun.

Standing up to millions of years of relativistic erosion seems difficult.

Accelerating ISM ions near your destination to slow down would necessarily consume as much energy as it took to get up to speed, and without assist from folks at home (who are anyway a different species by now). You will have plowed through untold tons of relativistic IGM on the way that I suppose you could collect on the way and then fuse to power your EM brakes.

Retaining all that IGM seems mainly a matter of dissipating heat, provided you have discovered how to keep it from instead blasting bits off of your bumper. It would, also, all need to be accelerated to match your speed. A substantial fraction of it would be neutral, so purely ballistic.

Maybe you have a million (or ten; hundred?) km of very diffuse spray foam for your front bumper, that you will wring out for protons when time comes to stop?

Presumably you want to stop where whatever you made the trip for is, assuming it is still there ("lo!") those millions of years later. It must be something you couldn't find anywhere among the half-trillion stars back home. (You did look, right?) Or maybe you just wanted not to be there -- neighborhood gone downhill, galaxy too small for both you and the ex?

Given that you can weather a million years of relativistic battering, and actually collect industrial feedstocks from it, maybe you don't really need a galaxy or anything in one anymore, and can just keep going. It ought to be safer out there, without an ever-present threat of magnetars around always threatening to belch slightly and sterilize everything for much farther than can be seen without a telescope.
No love for them either - but your retort is pure whatabout-ism - it doesn't address my core complaint.
And in the end there is no practical reason to have it on blockchain. It is even undesired.

Failure of certain governments does not mean all of them have failed. Many have robust working registries of ownership. And sufficient procedures to sort out the issues.
Jump point search is also pretty nifty for a block-based subset of pathfinding.
It will alert people that they are being tracked even sooner than the threshold now, and it will now play an even louder alert tone.
> The advantage of this approach is that you don't need a separate package management ecosystem, no central hosted registry, no submissions.

But npm has this already. You can already install from urls, you can even install from remote git urls. It's not even complicated, it's just `npm install git+ssh://user@hostname:git_repo.git#commit-ish`.

I get that npm isn't Node, but this feels like a lot of duplicated effort for something that is much more safely handled with the package manager that ships with every single default Node installation. It's not exclusive to npm either, Yarn supports this stuff too.

Are there really people building Node projects who are using a package manager that won't let them import from urls?

----

> Secondly, this doesn't mean all this code has to be dynamically loaded at runtime. You can still have equivalents of npm install which cache the linked resources locally on your server, perform integrity checks etc (this is exactly how Deno does it).

Unless Deno is crawling all of the source files in the project and doing this before the code is even run, aren't you still going to run into situations where you run your project and it hits an import it didn't see before, and it then gets dynamically imported at runtime?

On the web, ES imports are designed to be kind of inflexible and static so that you can't have those dynamic systems, it's all designed to make it harder to run into unexpected imports and easier to do static analysis of dependencies. And maybe Deno is the same, but if so then I don't see what the advantage is over doing that instead of putting all of your dependencies in a package.json and fetching them as part of an explicit step. The web made this stuff super static and inflexible to try and make dependencies more explicit, but an install step is kind of the end-goal of those restrictions, it's the most explicit way possible of importing dependencies.

And remember that npm lets you get your dependencies from anywhere, and they all get packaged in a predictable way, transparently on disk. You don't lose any flexibility in regards to where you get your packages from. At best, this system does the same thing, in which case why are we duplicating something that already exists? At worst, it caches resources only for future runs after it fetches them the first time, and it fetches them the first time at runtime, in which case I just don't understand why that would that be desirable.

Maybe conditional installs of packages so you can only fetch a subset of the potential dependencies you might need based on what is actually used during program usage? But this seems like a really error-prone, potentially dangerous way to achieve that.
> 1. Both an API for mobile and LiveView for web.

Is that really that hard a problem?

In the other/current model you're building total 3 components: web frontend, mobile frontend and the API and in the liveview model you're again building total 3 components: LiveView for Web front/backend, and mobile frontend and API for mobile backend.

If done properly, the LiveView backend can share a lot of code with the API backend. Moreover, an added advantage is that the Web codebase and Mobile codebase can be different depending on the requirements of the two platforms, except where, as noted above, it makes sense to abstract it out and share. So, IMvHO better software engineering in general.

You’re just cherry picking an even worse example of regulation. The core definition of regulation is the limitation of what an entity can and cannot do ie operating less freely. Your argument doesn’t change that
Switzerland and some nordic countries make it impossible. Portugal wants me to marry a Citizen, otherwise it's only residency. Luxembourg and the Netherlands wants me to learn their language, which is not something I would need to work there and in my experience visiting neither to be able to live there. It's not great.

On the other hand Italy denied my application once already, after my great grandparents basically left the country because Italy was not defending their town from Germany. They rejected my application because they say my great grandparents were not Italian but Austro-Hungarians. The lady at the consulate was super racist to my grandmother about it, in my face. After that now there's another way I could get my Italian citizenship by birthright by suing the government because of another racist thing they use to do where women were not transferring citizenship.

Again the US is not great but a lot of this things make me feel whatever "racial tensions" I may be a victim of in the US are mostly the media blowing stuff out of proportion, when most of the "racial tensions" I felt dealing with the EU are actual racial violence or discrimination that either me or my family where victims of.

Nobody added spyware to Audacity, the fact that this meme keeps circulating is IMO evidence of how broken trust is on the net right now. The new owners of Audacity wanted to add opt-in analytics to help understand what their users were doing, to help prioritize outstanding tasks. The authors originally put in Google Analytics, which created a moral panic and led to hyperbolic cries of inserting spyware. They pivoted to a different opt-in analytics provider later, but the hyperbolic moral panic line continues to be echoed.

And yes, this is FOSS working as intended. Closed source software wouldn't offer you the same visibility.
The Endangered Species Act has become a blunt instrument that environmentalists and NIMBYs can use to shut down almost any major infrastructure project. No one wants to see any species go extinct but the time has come to make some hard choices.

If you're doing TypeScript development, a good IDE lets you hover over code to see what their type is, or what the expected type is in case of an error - this is a huge superpower.

About houses, we watch one of the "Love it or List it" TV show variants. The way it's shown, very often, when the old house is being renovated, the renovators find something that's against code and has to be fixed. Or they find something damaged. And it's always shown how the owners are disappointed and angry. Why didn't they investigate and find it out in the first place when buying the house? Why didn't they do maintenance?

Then a new house is also shown, but we are only shown mainly interiors and views, never an iota about how the foundation or technology of the house works. That bit you the last time. And the owners want to get rid of the old house because it left a bad taste in their mouth by having these "surprises". Yet they waltz right into the next one with no concern whatsoever. (The shows also never talk about costs of living.... it's just the buying price of the house.)

These things all have direct analogies in the software world. It very often feels like a lot of people in the business are interior decorators and if I try to converse them as a structural expert - it just doesn't work.
I'm legitimately curious what that person expects out of documentation. MDN has basically everything you could want.
