> Why is it in general required, to design a new, more heavy rocket - and not "just scale" up an existing design?

Because defense contractors make a lot more money for the new one.
I think this will be a growing trend as the US becomes more and more expensive for those with a fixed income but with the freedom to live anywhere. Vietnam and Thailand seem like good options, where else is emerging as a promising affordable retirement destination? Mexico? Central America?
Paying someone to do something destructive in order to produce something you don't want isn't very smart, even if it keeps them busy in a way that fools them I to feeling productive. If we all did that it would be worse than doing nothing.

>This seems like a long time ago, but that last sentence is blatantly illegal in my country and I dare say a lot of states.

About 4 years ago. Here in Ontario, doing this is not considered illegal. Your employer is obligated to investigate harassment claims but not required to do anything at all. Including firing you. I know this because I went to 'office of the worker' whose lawyers told me this.
I don't have rich parents and I'm not a successful startup founder. I guess this confirms it!

Joking aside, I don't think it's just about the money or the safety net -- most parents can afford to support their kids for a few years after college. I think the biggest advantage is an understanding for entrepreneurial spirit.

When I started my business (not a startup), my biggest problem was having no role model and having no-one I could have asked for advise. I quickly made more money than my parents, but I still had no idea how expensive everything else would be. When I talked to anyone I knew about my expenses, they were all freaking out how much money I was paying my employees. I was extremely reluctant to pay an accountant (why throw away 1000€ a year when I can do it myself!), or even to hire someone to clean the office. The frugality I learned from my parents is not something that's useful when running a business.

If your parents are "rich", chances are they are entrepreneurs of some kind themselves, and they can mentor you, which is a huge advantage.
Right, nobody who has a bad experience with agile is doing it right. I am very familiar with this line of argument.

Fact remains though that back when everything was waterfall (proudly) and we shipped physical media to clients, when a bug often meant flying a support engineer out to the customer’s office, software was generally delivered more completed and vetted, and the QA group wasn’t allowed to report to the same org as developers because it was considered a conflict of interest. Now some software companies don’t even have a QA organization, we are inventing new organizational and technical structures to ensure that the developers are perpetually on call to resolve issues, and there is definitely a school of thought that says delivery of a complete product is an anti-pattern because after all every feature is just an experiment that you are testing on your users. But whatever, two different times, two different needs, two different practices, and to my point now we seem to be entering a new post-COVID era where just as waterfall doesn’t scale to a continuous delivery paradigm, “you build it, you run it” as practiced today is going to struggle with an “always on” business which has no “after hours” due to more flexible working schedules.

Are there companies today that run true 24/7? Sure, plenty, but they tend to be larger and have the staff to cover this. A great deal of business software today is still very fragile operationally and has deployment, management, and maintenance tied to the 9-5, M-F business schedule. I think it is going to have to evolve.

Since I started note-taking a few years ago, my productivity has increased dramatically. The biggest benefit is that you can stop working on an idea for a bit, then come back later and read it back from disk to main memory, often now seeing issues with what you have written down that are apparent now, but were not back then.

Writing a paper about your idea is the ultimate form of this, but of course most of the time overkill. But it is good to bundle everything up in a paper once enough stuff has accumulated.
The code looks bad. I guess it has been refactored later.

The repo says this code is only for educational purposes. This spaghetti can be still a good example for the reasons you mentioned. Or maybe it is a good example for an ugly prototype version of an game.

This could be even better if people could see a refactored version of this codebase.
HN is great. "For the informed" comments like this with absolutely no substance or information from the past two years of progress at Starbase.

They achieved the highest chamber pressure for a full flow staged combustion engine. . . . EVER.

They've flown and landed upper stage prototypes, achieved an engine production capacity that not even China or any state power in the WORLD has managed in the history of humanity and account for a significant portion of global payload to orbit right now.

They've developed an in house metal alloy that allows for temperatures in the turbine and combustion chamber to reach levels that the United States Government considered "Impossible" during the cold war and one so exotic that only like 4 engines have ever been built in all of human history. The only one of those engines to leave the test stand is . . .the Raptor.

They develop and build their own heat tiles and have achieved significant output capacity in the past two years.

The support system at the launch site which includes the launch tower, grappling arms, fuel stores etc are in very advanced stages at the moment and certainly ready to handle a steady stream of iterative full flight tests.

All this IN PARALLEL !! The weight of the booster through iterative design has been steadily coming down as well, the engine ISP and chamber pressure has been rising in insane steps to the point where it is already amongst the best rocket engines known. Complexity of the engine build has visibly come down in the past few months alone.

Each of these items by themselves take YEARS and were similarly expected to take YEARS even when Spacex started work on them. They're much further along than many people thought they would be two years ago.

There is a lot of juicy detail in the three part video that the Everyday Astronaut did with Elon Musk at Starbase, i'd urge the people interested in this thread to go watch that instead of the armchair idiocy of either the OP or myself and make up your own minds.
That sounds a lot like, "If you don't have anything to hide, why do you need privacy?" I'm not trying to put words in your mouth (feel free to clarify if you feel its needed), but I feel like I hear the kind of thing you're saying fairly often.

"Never talk to the cops." Isn't just for people who are guilty. Same with talking to a lawyer. I would hesitate to hand over my personal information, moreso if I don't have faith in the institution it goes to. I hear so many stories about rape kits never getting processed and how difficult it is to convict on rape because it's mostly he-said she-said. I also think putting someone in the position of getting caught so they can maybe catch their rapist isn't a great way to reduce overall crime.

There are a bunch of examples where this plays out poorly and nobody has a fear of getting caught. Black people had higher vaccine hesitancy because of historical distrust[1]. The CIA used a Hepatitis B vaccination program as cover to collect DNA to find Bin Laden[2].

It counts for something, but yours does not count more than anyone else's - and it is certainly not sufficient to make a general case against validation. Pointing out that bad or incorrect validation is bad is news to no-one, and is merely a specific case of bad code being harmful.

Yes - it started with a straw man in the article.
haha the crayon styling is great, care to share any implementation details?
What I understood is that you were saying a line needed to be drawn, and presumably that the truck protests had crossed that line. They shouldn't be able to stop the economy.

That would be a fine argument to me, except that all the concern about the economy does not ring true, coming from a government that has shut down the economy (allowing for large corporations to continue, of course) for 2 years!

This is pretty much the first protest against those actions against the economy, but now the concern is that these protesters are acting harmfully.

Honestly, it sounds so upside-down to me! The government structure has caused huge economic harm to everyone, and then when people finally complain the government accuses them of causing economic harm! It really is perverse.
> get banned, if you use nuanced sarcasm or actually if you are touching anything that is toxic.

I agree that this is a thing, of course. But it makes for very low quality discussion, since non-toxic users will just let the toxicity fester instead of engaging to mitigate it.

> you have to keep records of those warnings.

'Reddit Enhancement Suite' has that as a feature, and it could be added as such on the official site. Or it could be done unofficially in the "modmail".

> Since it is easy to create account in reddit, outright ban is a warning

Returning with a new account after being permbanned from a 'sub' counts as ban evasion, and will trigger a global site-wide ban for both accounts. Reddit has gotten very aggressive about this as of late, quite possibly using AI bots that will try to detect when such "ban evasion" is happening, and trigger global bans.
That’s true, but this could be handled by providing the option to pay an annual or quarterly subscription fee, where the payment processing fee then becomes a smaller fraction. This could also benefit the subscriber with the option of a lower price and a higher initial cashflow for the service.
Hah, we're living that right now. Big guy got bought, raised prices and removed features. Previously happy customers start looking around, find us (and others, of course).

Not as much as they would like to. I'd love to exchange a day for 20% cut, but it's not an option. Nobody will agree to that. Same with my colleagues. We don't need that 20% money but nobody cares. Even now when we're working from home at least a few days a week. It's simply not an option.

But thanks to global changes, country by country, this mentality will slowly be changed and finally 4-day week won't be some strange option but a norm.
Nothing major, just browser support at the beginning, reverse proxy support (which is no longer an issue), but the big one was extensibility.

Rags to riches is often a multi-generational project. This is why family is so important - while it's possible to succeed wildly from nothing, the guidance, financial resources, connections, etc. from your family makes things so much easier.

>>Downvote is a disagree button as it is "perceived as such"

Not because people are stupid and have one-dimensional thinking, but for the reasons, that textual information does not provide enough additional information, I always add additional information, if post is a joke.
I think this misses the point - the 9 to 9 point was probably just a distraction. Compare 4 day work weeks to 6 day work weeks. 50% more work days seems like a big advantage, even if workers only perform 3-6 hours of work per day.
Alas, email forwarding is fairly broken since DKIM/DMARC/SPF/SRS came into the picture.

Disclaimer: this is a Poland-centric comment, your academic environment may vary

If a faculty member offers you to join some kind of project they're involved in, by all means go for it.

You'll be exploited for free or for minimum pay, you'll get random urgent requests to get something done quickly on a Friday evening, and you'll get stress migraines.

But I still recommend doing this if you have a chance, and here's why:

- chances are the job is unique, odd, and not something you'd be doing in the corporate IT world. I once found myself teaching a class of art students how to build iOS apps, with ~24 hours of experience in Swift and having never owned or used any Apple device.

- if it's an official contract and you get paid for it, it can become the crown jewel of your CV even if it wasn't rocket science. Especially US-based readers of your resume will value academic achievement.

- you can combine the additional work with regular coursework or a master's thesis, which will help you get more mileage from the time you're spending. Keep in mind this is still much more than would be normally expected from you.

- if you prove to be useful, you'll be on good terms with a potentially important faculty member

Things to keep in mind:

- get ready for a really stressful few months

- expect to be exploited to no end

- don't expect any promises you hear to be fulfilled, except what is written on your contract with the university if you get one

- there will be pressure to go deeper and deeper, and you will hear them discrediting the value of other things you might be planning to do such as a corporate IT career. You need to know whether you want to stay or not, and you need to base this decision on realistic prospects, not on someone's visions and promises (see #3).

Yeah, Im not sure why we are talking about decompiled code.

It’s probably not the same productivity rate for each hour though. Those first 3 are perhaps most productive followed by less for the next 3, less for the next and so on. So value is still produced in the later hours. At some point it might not be worth paying the same rate as is paid for those first 3 though. Too bad all of this can’t be measured accurately (in many cases).
It actually does :)

100% this is decompiled output. There's no way this would be a single file. There's no way there'd be `String.concat(new object[] { "Some", '\t', "strings" })` written by a real human. This is reversed from some bytecode and the decompiler had to make some guesses as to what the original code was.

Don't judge the developers based off of this.
"you'll be super valuable in computing."

I don't know about that. It seems there's little need of network experts. As an industry, we are moving towards abstracting this through the use of cloud providers, SaaS, etc. There are fewer jobs around this because the need is concentrated.
I absolutely love rockbox on the ipod6g.

I have been through a number of iterations of them and compile my own custom builds of rockbox. One thing I would do is avoid the iFlash SD card adapters as in my experience files tend to corrupt. With an upgraded battery the iFlash mSATA SSD adapters work very well.

You can use transflac/oggenc to transcode your lossless library and it works really well for maximising space.

I think around here that's not exactly an unpopular opinion. :)

The problem is that there's no obvious return on investment for space exploration once you get out of Earth orbit, since you need to overcome a vast number of complex scientific and engineering challenges, costing at least tens of billions of dollars, before you can even start to pursue speculative enterprises. Even if we stipulate there being opportunities in zero-g manufacturing or mining, the companies positioned to extract value from those markets are not companies that have any kind of aerospace core competency, so you have an innovation deadlock due to information asymmetries and ambiguous cost/value estimates. No board is going to sign off on tens of billions of dollars of investments with a high probability of failure, poorly-forecastable costs, and no defined market value on the other side of the equation; instead, the highest-value play is to let someone else own the cost and risks and, if they prove feasibility, to only then aggressively apply capital -- essentially, free-ride on the first-mover. In a scenario like this, it's likely that the technology never gets created until the government steps in with funding to break the deadlock.

You are correct that this too must be addressed, but there are some issues you are ignoring here:

1. Consoles have traditionally been sold at a loss with the assumption that game sales will make up for our.

2. Console makers do not try to control prices outside their ecosystem (e.g. on other platforms).

3. The number of developers is significantly lower, increasing the development support cost (e.g. toolchain) per released game.
This 100%. You are doing a great job if you maintain clean code for 50% of the project, because that last 50% will be a mad dash to get to ship.

Having looked at a few games' source code, are there really any complex games with pretty code? With as many subsystems, items, and enemies as Terraria has, it feels almost inevitable that you'll have complexity like this snippet for determining when to spawn the hair stylist NPC:

Point of clarification: us-east-1 is an entire AWS Region, which contains multiple availability zones. Multi-AZ setups in AWS are generally fairly straightforward, multi-region generally isn't.

...that said, one of the key techniques most people use for failing over between regions is changing DNS, which wouldn't have worked with Route 53 in this instance because its control plane is in us-east-1, so it's not like AWS looks spotless even in this analysis.
