No, just no. The Russian announced about 20 major space projects every year and about 0.1 of them are ever more then that.

Anybody that has watched the Russian space program knows this is nonsense. They have barley enough money to continue to fly their 50 year old rockets. Their supposed next generation rocket has barley ever flown.

Since that article they have already announced like 3 other rockets as well.

Russian space program is 50 year old soviet tech and a lot of political propaganda.
It works well. It doesn't imply the bugs will be fixed. Sometimes it implies an exploit will be made. Sometimes the list of open bugs grows embarrassingly big, and that's it. Shallow.

But, nevertheless, transparent it is.

It depends on the grant. Most grants do not let you take ownership of the research. Nearly all publicly funded research contracts require the results to be public domain.
"Verboten" is a strong word; to my mind that refers to things that can't be discussed because they would challenge the power structure, like how you can't talk about Tank Guy in Chinese social media.

That's not HN. When you get downvoted for hot-button political stuff, that's like getting shushed for talking about football in church. It's not censored, but this isn't the place for it.

I think that Reddit is a degree better than Twitter: it's still possible to find long, substantive discussions on Reddit, but the artificial length constraint on Twitter really pushes all users toward pithy "burns" and other toxic forms of discourse.
Yeah, people like to block off parts of their life. It's not really that hard to manage accounts with password managers and saved sessions. Microsoft doesn't need to have everything at their greedy little fingertips to data mine.
Hormones are tough. The emotions themselves are real, and you'll always feel like you have a good reason for them. I personally have experience with them as a man due to a brain injury as a teen that left me with low testosterone. I've experienced low and high testosterone, along with low and high estradiol (estrogen).

By the way, chocolate cravings due to high estrogen - or some knock-on hormonal effect - are absolutely real.

Attention deficits: there could be benefits to being distracted by technology
Man people really see some blog post about Japanese law by a person who doesn’t speak the language and think it’s some 1984 style country.

In all honesty you can basically apologize out of a lot of crimes and police generally don’t bother with anything else unless there’s video evidence, they catch you in the act, or you’re a high profile person involved in a high profile act.

Just never get caught with drugs in your possession, and if you get caught with personal amounts, apologize and cry. Not kidding.
I don't know, I really think we're at an inflection point with VR. People have realized nobody will buy a tethered headset, so things are either streamed over wifi from your computer or compute is on board; both work really well. Screens are getting extremely high-res and high-refresh for not that much money. You don't need a very powerful computer to drive them unless you're gaming, and the real killer app is replacing your work setup.

I think of that photo of the dude from 1980 with all the electronics equipment - microphone, camcorder, disc player, mobile TV, boombox, etc. - things that are all replaced by a smartphone everyone carries in their pocket. I think it'll be the same with my home office: desk, chair, monitors, monitor stand, microphone, webcam, computer - all will be replaced by a VR headset. The only thing it doesn't replace are input devices like keyboard & mouse, and pointing devices might get replaced by eye tracking. A common prediction is that the majority of knowledge workers will be in VR full time by the end of the decade, which honestly seems reasonable to me.
The most important website om the Internet.
Wait, why NOT have a public good paid by taxpayers? Just have a progressive taxation system.

A system where private companies effectively own these little spots would stifle innovation and competition (ie the big players would be the only ones with a chance of succeeding) as well as individual freedom.

It's not about avoiding or removing the internet from your life. It's about learning to live intentionally given the internet is a thing.

This has to be sustainably. You can't do that with a 3-day or 30-day detox. You won't be successful with monochrome hacks or net nannies. You can't do that even going cold turkey because you have to use technology to still function in society unless you're going off grid and starting a homestead.

What I found to work is to start small, replace one habit at a time. Give yourself plenty of time to do absolutely nothing and you will creatively find great uses of that time again. After a few years, you'll feel back in control, happier, and healthier because of it.
> Do you really still use Ethernet ports and USB-A ports directly on your laptop?

Absolutely! I do have a dock at my desk of course, but every so often I need to go somewhere and plug into the network there or connect directly to some appliance that sets up a local network on one of its ports for configuration.

If I could just leave my laptop plugged into my docking station all the time I would get a tower PC.

Toss them into a pile will make them more compact. Really it wouldn't take too long to clear a whole sidewalk of them, granted it might get more difficult once the pile gets to significant height. But I'm thinking 1 scooter toss every 2-5 seconds: 1 grunt grab, 2 grunt grab, 3 grunt grab etc, you can imagine it happening at a decent pace.
I agree with you, but I’m curious if you could offer some specific measures to assess what these fundamental issues are.

"he was convicted in british courts" is exactly the wrong kind of reasoning here. Sure, this guy probably did it, but for every person who probably did it there are likely 9 or even 99 innocent people who spend months rotting in jail and being abused - or in the US, dying in jail - awaiting a fair trial because we tolerate violations of law and mistreatment of prisoners.

"he would have been murdered rather than imprisoned" is also not especially comforting considering just how badly one can be scarred by imprisonment, interrogation, etc.

I have noticed the same, but when I have mentioned this in the past I have been downvoted and told that I am being "conspiratorial". This is definitely a problem on Hacker News, because it is a website beholden to a company (YCombinator). This company has a vested interest in ensuring that the messages on Hacker News reflect what the popular narrative is as it reflects upon them personally. In other words as long as large companies control the medium the messages will be controlled by said company. There is only the illusion of free speech on the Internet. You can say whatever you want, but don't be surprised if nobody can hear you.

Ask HN: How do you handle global web scale?
My company has web app users all over the world. They collaborate in real-time, and the app is very write-heavy.

Latency became a huge issue for database writes. The solution we came up with was to split up the app -- multiple regions with their own master database (no syncing cross-regions) and subdomain (e.g. africa.mywebsite.com).

This is working well. There is no concern that there will be any cross-region collaboration between users (at least for now). But it feels like a hack. I want everyone to just be able to go to app.mywebsite.com regardless of region.

There has to be a better way. What strategies are other companies using to solve latency across the globe?
I think if we're speaking honestly, we're only going to have so much patience for the author's blogposts. We're not going to upvote updates for 6, 12, 18, 24 months at a hypergrowth startup. So I do think it makes sense to prefer a source filter.
I guess I'll chime in and say that I, too, have noticed more downvotes when I wouldn't normally predict them.

Unlike the other commenters, I'm not worried about it. It's just a sign of growth and HN going mainstream. The mods keep everyone on a tight leash, so I think the content will remain good.

It is a bit frustrating to post something that feels high quality but people disagree. But that's the price you pay for not being perfect to everyone all the time. (You see? It's impossible.) So don't let it bug you.
winget is protected as it's providing the API for the Microsoft Store to manage Win32 apps. I think there's been a decent amount of adoption, there's lots of install pages (Git is one I noticed recently) that have winget install right next to brew install.
This raises a good point. A just state should be efficient at identifying crimes; an unjust state can charge suspects who will never be convicted, or harass them without charging them.
This is a myth that is often repeated.

The N-1 failed partly because the engine were untested and had high failure rates. The could not be tested on the ground and had a lot of manufacturing issues.

The N-1 failed because the on board computers couldn't handle engine shut downs very well. They basically just shut down the opposite engine.

In some flights that problem lead to complex piping being broken as well, but its by far not the reason the rocket failed.

And SpaceX has already done the Falcon Heavy with 27 engine and its perfectly fine.

What matters is that your engine work well and that if something happens to one engine the computer can figure that out and perfectly adjust all other engines to that new reality.

By this logic, your own opinions are invalid, since as an American you clearly personally condone every social evil in that country.
The key question is the balance between advertising revenue and editorial independence. LTT seems to be walking that tightrope a lot more than some other outlets do, but IMO I'd rather see someone like GN take up the mantle from Anandtech... alas it seems like they often cater more towards gaming/enthusiast PCs in their work and aren't as broad as an LTT or Anandtech in their coverage.

I hope there will always be a place for Anandtech's and Tom's Hardwares in this world, though. Text content with decent illustrations can't be adequately replaced by video.
Fun fact, I'm pretty sure that was the first troll account. I.e. the first account made explicitly to troll.

Even if the instant velocity of some practice is higher, the long term average velocity might not be. Which is to say, if your devs hate pair or mob programming and quit, your teams velocity is going to be greatly impacted.

If devs consistently react negatively to a practice, in itself that’s evidence to be wary of the practice.

I was thinking the same yesterday, looking for "interview question" submissions (there have been quite a few good ones) using the algolia HN search.

Out of about ten links I clicked, I think there was only one that still worked. All the rest I had to run through the IA, whose homepage takes 5 seconds to load enough for the search box to show up, then wait for it to load the captures, and finally wait for it to fetch one of the captures. A direct link would be very welcome.

The addition should be easy, no need to query the IA site or anything because IA will find the nearest date to the request automatically iirc. Something like one week after the submission would allow post-submission updates without being likely to show a 404 capture.

(By the way, the question I ended up picking for our applicant was: "what did you like or dislike about the culture in previous places you've worked at or interned?" It went over well and I got some insight into what they'd expect (or enjoy) when joining the team. The colleague I did the interview with later said it was a good question :).)
Yet Another Introvert here. I paired full-time for three years when I worked at ThoughtWorks, and I did not enjoy the forced socialization aspect of it, but I can't think of a single day where I didn't learn something from my pair. We rotated pairs daily, and tried to keep one individual constant for the duration of a story (the "anchor") while rotating others through so we spread out context across the team. I once read a quote that I like to the effect of (paraphrasing, because I've lost track of the original): "Individual programming optimizes for the convenience of the individual; pair programming optimizes for the health of the team." This resonates with my experience of pairing.
My point is though, they're still planning to close large coal power stations ecause renewables are pricing them out.

Sad to see him go, although not entirely surprising. The site has had minimal updates and very few interesting articles for a while.

An alternative could be to become a corporate soldier for a decade and achieve financial freedom by living frugally and saving aggressively.

You’ll find yourself in your early 30s with at least a million dollars (and likely much more) being able to take so much more risk without having to rely on (or upset) your parents.

This is not too bad. While as you say working in corporate America is not necessarily the apex of one’s life, you can learn a lot of things that will be useful in your future endeavors. I currently work as a senior tech person at a FAANG and the scale of things I see is really interesting (e.g. I routinely do data processing on tens of exabytes), and it is very unlikely you’d be exposed to similar challenges just by doing random freelancing gigs to stay afloat.
I've only played around with LXC/LXD a little bit, what are some of the Ubuntu image issues? I did a quick google, but the first results seemed to be questions about hosting on Ubuntu rather than with the images themselves.
It’s a frustrating problem, but isn’t it better to not be a jerk?
In Proxmox "self hosting" meaning having a folder with LXC images is part of the distribution. You can download templates from online sources and use as images or create your own templates from already running LXCs. Or maybe you mean self hosting in another way?
This is the first I've heard of it. Hearing it described as both an MMO and Conan Exiles Plus feels weird to me, though, as they're very different genres.

Sex is a process, its the foreplay and the physical goodness.

Yeah of course it is fun, and makes your body hurt the next day.

But it is a process, and spending 30 minuets to do something I can rub out in a few minuets isn't always worth it. I am tired, and rest is not an option.

Even when you go on vacation, you are not resting. You are working to allow your kids to have fun. You come home more tired than when you left.

Yeah sexy is fun, and easy. when the time is right. Who has time these days. Time is the one thing I wish I had more of every day.

Because industry runs on profits. The dream is to have resources given to you to push forward human intellect without having to answer to short term profits.

The most useful math today had limited applications when it was invented. Society doesn't highly value these highly valuable contributions, so there is a scarcity in research resources while having the most alluring work. The result? Highly talented people living in apartments with no prospect of affording a family.

In support of my point:

https://ncses.nsf.gov/pubs/nsb20201/figure/18

Academia spends 13% of society's overall basic research money yet produces 48% of the overall performance.

I don't think tripling public research funding should triple public research output. I think it would give some breathing room for the fantastical "meritocracy" belief to be closer to reality in one sector of society. Also, academia needs to cut the g&a chuff.
The author doesn’t understand what pair programming is about. It’s not about efficiency. It’s about sharing knowledge.

The best pair programming was when I arrived on a new project and I paired on a big subproject with someone with domain experience. He could have done it way faster and I coul’ve worked on something easier. But in the end, I gained a lot of domain knowledge extremely fast, faster than any documentation would have allowed me to.

That’s what pair programming is about.

Yeah this is a learning lesson no doubt. Management of a company can never put up with a person who isn't 100% under their control. Only the top 0.001% of developers will get away with that. Better to realize they want what you have and you have to figure out some way to get a handle on that or realize like this poor guy in a year some internal team has copied what you did and they have 100x the resources that you have.
In the context of the source material (the books by Frank Herbert, Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson), the 'greening' of Dune/Arrakis is a very broad plot theme. So, the comment is not one of 'green washing' but in keeping with themes of the series.
