Most criminals are not clever. I had a girlfriend whose house was broken into; the thieves stole an xbox, an air conditioner, various electronics, etc. After she reported them stolen, sure enough, the serial numbers showed up at a pawn shop, the pawn shop had taken the ID of the sellers down, and warrants were issued. She got her stuff back and the thieves went to jail.

Most criminals wouldn't be doing what they're doing anyway if they were clever or did a modicum of research on what they can actually get away with.

Hey, quick question: would this by any chance work as an AWS Lambda container image [1] connected to Aurora Serverless [2] (MySQL or Postgres), perhaps using the Data API [3]?

If yes, I think this is a big plus for teams looking for a managed infra.

Interesting; I was not aware of their existence. They seem to be free as in beer; not as in speech. They seem to make money with shareware provided by the same company.

Nothing against closed source though. For example, I enjoy x-plane a lot which while not free (in either sense) of course has a large community providing both free and non free add-ons. This seems more of a game with a focus on combat and less on realism or looks.

An actual free, open source flight simulator that deserves mentioning is Flightgear. I've played with that a couple of times but always end up reverting to x-plane. But flightgear has some nice features and also a nice community. It just doesn't look and feel anywhere near as good as x-plane (which is a tall order because it is very good).

Anyway, I checked out some footage on Youtube. Visually, it has nothing on even Flightgear; which I'm pretty sure probably has some combat mods. Or even any version of that the last few decades or so, actually. It actually reminded me of some dos games I used to play in the early nineties. E.g. Jetfighter II (released 1990) was pretty awesome back in the day. It looks like that but with higher resolution. But e.g. the ground is a featureless green blob; just like in Jetfighter II, and clouds are white polygons hanging in the sky, etc. And Jetfighter II had a HUD that was about as feature rich as the one in this game. Of course it was way more pixelated than this. But they even managed a cockpit panel :-). I wouldn't call it photo realistic but it didn't look half bad for the time. There are probably better/later game that this thing is shooting for. But I just never really got into combat flight simulation.

I guess they are trying to recreate some of that experience. Not that it matters; but I guess the gameplay is more important than the looks for this. Actually looks like it could be a lot of fun.

BTW. I have nothing against MS Flightsimulator. The latest version looks great. But I just don't have any windows computers anymore at this point. Combat is not really something either of the other flightsims I mentioned are made for or even good at.
france has a bunch of standardized reactors: doesn't mean they don't suffer from engineering issue, that they don't leak hot water or radiation every now and then, or that we even know how to tear them apart when they reach end of life.

You should probably do some reading about the many scandals of the nuclear industry in France, from colonial exploitation for uranium to jailing/crippling/assassinating anti-nuclear protesters, with a bunch of nuclear scandals and accidents in between.

> When you deploy a site using Cloudflare Workers Sites, the entire Cloudflare network, with over 150 data centers around the world, effectively becomes your origin server. In comparison, Netlify’s global CDN only conists of 6 locations for free users and 12 locations for enterprise plans.

I don't understand the value (or hype) of Netlify if Cloudflare has many PoP (Points of Presences) and is effectively way faster.

Netlify looking similarly like an expensive Heroku (more PoP only on enterprise plans) which doesn't seem like a global network to me.

Curious to know is anyone on Netlify considering moving or staying?

> French citizens have never been put in a position to vote between a pronuclear candidate and an antinuclear one.

> Well, of course, there are ecologists on the first round of the vote, but on the second rounds, both candidates are always pronuclear.

Well, since nuclear power is such an important part of the Greens political platform (for better or for worse), you might argue that the fact all second-round candidates have been pro-nuclear sor far _is_ the result of the population voting on the topic.

And the fact that it happens _before_ the elections is, on the contrary, a way to trigger the debate.

The process to build plants take years - if the population is strongly opposed to, they can vote Macron out, elect Jadot or Melenchon, and the process will be canceled.

(The sad thing about French democracy is that the Presidential Election is virtually the only moment to have all debates)

Other countries (Germany, Belgium, etc...) decided _not_ to use nuclear energy without asking there population any more directly.

Populations are not asked explicitly about plenty of very dangerous industries (I leave near Toulouse, yet I still have to see "Get out of fertilizers !" stickers on cars following AZF explosion.)

Is this the kind of topic where the rules of representative democracy is to "let the elected governement govern" ?

Or is there a right way to get the opinion of a country, knowing that, in those matters, the population that vote will not be the population that deals ?

I have no idea what would happen if we had a referendum about nuclear energy, as they had in Italy and Switerzland.

I'm also no so sure what I would vote for !

Every time I ponder those questions, I open this [1] or [2], and I wonder: who's ready to switch off their lights first ?

I guess that's pretty hard to get right on the first try though. Use WYSIWYG and you have to deal with all the complexity and risks that involves; use markdown with some quality-of-life features on top any you may turn off users who expect a Microsoft Word experience. Depending on the app that isn't an easy decision.

That said, I haven't had to make that decision for a long time. Markdown editors have become noticeably friendlier, perhaps the difference isn't that big anymore and I'm out of date?

I never expected this to be on the front page of HN, it brings back so many memories. I was big into this game when I was a teenager back in 2010, 2011 until 2015, also being very active in the community that made this page in that period. Sadly, even all those years back, the online scene was still what most would consider dead. I have a bit of a thing for "dead" games, I wouldn't really consider 1-2 full servers at night to be dead, which is what we had. In the following years, however, server population declined even more, to the point where I would really consider it to be dead. I'd love to be proven wrong though, but that was what I percieved.

If you really wanted to ride the wave, I'd tell you to get yourself a time machine and go all the way back to 2005, 2006 or 2007. Servers were ablaze with squadrons (~groups of people having their own paint schemes on certain aircraft, playing air-to-ground missions and air-to-air missions against other squadrons...) fighting and calling each other names. It wasn't pretty, but according to what I was told, passion wasn't exactly in short supply.

Fun fact: the game looks like that because it has no textures. Instead, every polygon is colored individually. Through a recent update did give the terrain textures. Aircraft still don't have them.
> OOP as frequently implemented

This is the real issue with OOP. Abusing a type system, using inheritance when composition or interfaces would be more appropriate, etc.

I've seen pretty much every programming silver bullet implemented in the most horrifying ways by people who didn't understand the reasoning behind each approach.

You can write great FORTH and terrible LISP. You can write readable FORTRAN or APL (I'm stretching it a bit here) and elegant 6502 assembly. You can even write resilient and reusable JavaScript and PHP if you have the discipline to do it.

> If you're writing a service doing requests, you want as minimal state as possible.

The service can have a lot of state. What you really don't want is your client trying to keep track of it. When tempted to do so, you need to change the service.
I personally prefer the EU setup, but I can explain what the GP is talking about.

Back when I was in the US, I could have bought a wetvac from a major chain store, shampoo my carpets, then returned it for a full refund. It would have been a fully functioning item that I gained beneficial use from, but the store would still take the used item back and return all my money.

This comes with a huge caveat. It’s a semi-official store policy, but not a legally binding requirement. If the manager doesn’t like you, then you’re on your own. Granted, the manager doesn’t care that much, because they’re just going to put the used wetvac and sell it to someone else. That person might discover that I broke the unit and they legitimately can’t use it. However, if they don’t have the same magic sprinkles I have (e.g. a title, a midwestern accent, white skin), the store might decide not to give them a refund, even though I’m the one that broke the appliance in the first place.

Since leaving the US, I haven’t had a store try to unload used merchandise on me and I like that I don’t have to put on a performance to get a refund on faulty items, but I’ve encountered other expats who found it a culture shock.
Several comments here about what is the missing X factor - why did these guys get along. The quoted story takes place during World War II, and they were developing nuclear technology, specifically The Bomb. It's very easy to look back and criticize the outcome, but AT THE TIME, these people thought that they had to do this to preserve their way of life and defeat evil.

I think this is a critical component of any moonshot - you have to have competition or some motivation that feels like an external compulsion.
Pizza Pizza? That was something they used to advertise a lot. I know in the GTA the number is (or was) 967-11-11. I think the exchange could vary from place to place but it always ended in 1111.
> That is the easier part

No, that's the hard part. The easier part is to reduce energy consumption and adapt to production. The problem is some people think we can live in eternal abundance and not think about it, and these people are making billions of dollars of tax money on "green new deal" types of contracts.

But the truth is degrowth and lowtech are the only option for climate change. Look what "green capitalism" has done for us since the 60s: yes things keep getting worse, and it's not gonna change as long as money and industry are involved, as they are the problem not the solution.
The reality is, we need a functioning hotel aggregator, and AirBnB needs a competitor. For me, booking.com for European travel has been overwhelming positive in experience, happy with the increasing Genius offerings. I don't use them for apartments however, I don't feel I trust them for that and prefer AirBnB. I also hope they stick around and maybe find a way to make all the cash they feel they can make without ruining what should be a very mutually-beneficial experience between hoteliers and customers.
You mean flyby at almost the speed of light?
For interstellar travel, I think usable flyby speed is almost the same as stop and look around speed.
Thank you for your optimism, now let me balance that out a little.

Propulsion maybe the easier part of engineering. Afaik we are nowhere near to life support and environment control that could be considered stable for a time period of maybe 10 years or more.

The biggest biological advantage, adaptation is meaningless for large organism on such a timescale and maybe dangerous on a microbial level.
Overheard on such a meeting yesterday: "Well, an alternative would be to use the coordinate system named after me."

I feel these meetings work best when there is no career pressure, but when people have aligned goals and just want to make progress. It's easier to leave good points unsaid if everyone prefers having any conclusion to having no conclusion.
If I want to make a serious effort to know the truth of a controversial matter, I make it a point to argue without using fallacies or relying on cognitive biases. This kind of arguing tends to work better in traditional forums instead of newsy forums like HN and Reddit. One can spend a long time researching one's argument and come back several days later with a well researched and formed argument and bump the thread back to the top. In HN and Reddit, by the time one has done this research, everyone has moved on.

Inheritance in itself conflicts with encapsulation. First because it gives access to protected members of the super class. So it breaks encapsulation to the letter. Secondly because it hurts code locality so much. To such an extend it is difficult for the average programmer to determine what is going on by simple looking at the program. We have a recrutement test on this. Although candidates usually have a good intuition at what the test program does, it is amusing how easy it is to make them doubt by asking simple questions. Dynamic dispatch principle in itself is well understood but it opens so many questions about member access, non virtual methods access, overloaded method access to which people usually have no firm answer.
Really enjoying this thread, lots of great projects.

I've been working on "Daily" [1], a desktop app for creating blogs and websites. Everything's stored in a single file, local preview, output static files or upload to Vercel. It's nearly at a point, where it's finished. Of course I've lots of ideas for features. and monetisation. But I don't like the marketing part, except talking about it here and there. And that's fine.

Thats going to take me at least half a day to draw a penis on.
I know, but just because it’s unpleasant does not mean it’s untrue.
A probe based on nuclear pulse propulsion could do it in around 50 years, with today's technology. It's not that we can't do it fast (within one average human lifespan), it's that the project would be very expensive and something like Nasa has a relatively tight budget.

I mean we, as humanity, have to have an eccentric billionaire start a Martian fire (SpaceX Starship) under our lazy asses to even start to think about getting to Mars in a reasonable timeframe and in reasonable numbers (to start a colony). We are not funding making our species multiplanetary for the last few decades because we were too lazy, how can anyone expect us sending anything to the closest star (other than the sun)... You can't.

You are absolutely correct about the trade-off about atoms in Clojure.

Practically speaking, to start seeing retries you'd have to have a big number of updates going on at the same time. You can push a huge number of updates through a single thread. If you do have the need to do big throughput, you can explore not-so-idiomatic options like atoms-in-atoms, like you said.

IMO, the biggest unique benefit of combining atoms with immutable persistent data structures, comes from the fact that you can get unlimited number of consistent readers virtually for free. Any thread can look at (aka, deref) an atom, while the state/world keeps moving forward. I don't think any amount of tooling can solve that case for mutable data. A snapshot of a mutable data structure would require copying the whole data structure while using some sort of a locking strategy to stop writers while the read is taking place.
> Distributed systems, it honestly is just a toy for the tech monopolies.

Not so, decentralized systems are also inherently distributed. The whole point of both the old "Web 3.0" and the newer "Web3" is to make "distributed" thinking a part of the web, beyond the now trivial "linking to a document-like resource on a different host" scenario that defines hypertext/the "Web of documents".

(Of course one may then retort, as Jack Dorsey apparently has, that "Web3" itself is merely "a VCs' plaything". One has to be aware that these developments are somewhat speculative and pretty far from a real consensus.)

IIRC, the limit with humans on-board is like .3c due to the red/blue shifting of the background radiation of the universe. At about .3c, it turns into microwaves/radar/x-rays and such, becoming quite bad for humans. There’s so much background radiation, there may be no way to adequately shield from it and/or travel may be limited only in the direction of less background radiation.

Maybe someone has a link to more information, that’s just what I remember from years ago.
