Is an Animal a Person? The Elephant in the Courtroom
the mavic 2 series of drones by DJI don't have this issue, but the tradeoff is the controller weighs like 40 pounds, because it's a quite powerful wireless access point. Every other drone i've owned that supported video used an android or ios device to connect to the drone via wifi (drone presents as a WAP).

iirc the claimed range is around 8km on the one i have, about 5 miles. I have assuredly gone well over 2km with no issues with control or video feed. This was over a straight highway. I routinely fly around a kilometer away, and the only issues i have is if i launch from an extremely dense patch of pine trees, and only at about 800-900 meters, i will lose video (artifacting for a second), but not control. It's never had to RTH.

In case you're curious about city usage, i have a friend that has one he launches from a culdesac in Orange County and can fly in nearly any direction for about 8 minutes* before he hits a geofence, the drone still functions normally. If there is any issues, he can just fly higher.

The newest newest DJI stuff claims even more ridiculous range, 15km+ over open water, for instance.

If i hadn't used it myself, i wouldn't have believed it, it sounds like BS.

* this is 5-7km depending on the tailwind
I don’t think it’s important to know the absolute numbers but rather the relative values and rough orders of magnitude.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to explain to developers why their network attaches storage has higher latency than their locally attached NVME SSD
As I understand it, they have been attacking Russian ships. I guess there is some speculation that Russians have been using civilian shipping as cover, resulting in two non-Russian ships being damaged by fire meant for warships.

About me: I am an SRE / Swiss army knife type of guy. My sweet spot is at the crossroads of SWE & Infrastructure / tooling. My go-to language is Go, but I would be excited to pick up Rust as well given the opportunity. Recently I have been working on building (the basis of) a macOS cloud at a CI / CD company. Here, I worked on problems like:
- macOS / linux virtualization

- building an automated, cross-datacenter VM distribution service (think of AWS AMI)

- large scale on-prem server management

- large scale infrastructure monitoring

- zero downtime host OS version update orchestration

- enabling the offering on AWS for selected customers

@author - is there anything special about the way you visualize prime numbers? I'm wondering if there are indicators for you that a given number would be prime.

> Why not test it?

Because it's not a thing where you say "let's test this out today." It takes months or years to get to this point. I'm hoping NATO would respond to a build-up on the Latvian border with a build-up of their own. Making it clear that there is no easy win.

There's no reason to just sit there and wait for the tanks to roll across the line.
Protesters and dissidents in Russia need Internet to fight against the dictator too.

The elevator pitch summary of IPCC AR6 is “It is only possible to avoid warming of 1.5 °C if massive and immediate cuts in greenhouse gas emissions are made”.

I am saying “I think those cuts are extremely likely to happen, and soon”.
Nice! Do any more advanced query strings work right now? Like looking for recent pages or only searching titles?
Come on, SSH and Telnet? That's ludicrous. It's a job for https://mosh.org/
Russians have been carpet bombing innocent Syrians for years. Even using thermobarbic bombs against them, with no sanctioning from the West. Obviously the middle east is of little consequence in these discussions for all parties.
"And that means Amdahl's Law is more important than Moore's Law these days."

idk, sure seems like we could have 1-2 cores (permanently pegged?) at 5 ghz for UI/UX then ($money / $costPerCores) number of cores for showing off/"performance" by now. But the OEMs haven't gone that way.
That would suit me too, but not sure of the wider implications.
> you have to learn it from people who have done it or even better are doing it.

I have often wondered how to distil this point down. It's like these people know the patterns/systems that work to generate the results they want. They can replicate them at any company and generally know what needs to be implemented or what's missing. Tune from there. I think the key is somewhere in the patterns/systems but still that's too vague to implement. Basically, you need to join somewhere successful, get to a level were you can see across the org, and learn what patterns/systems they use and replicate them. Mix in competent people too.
I'm not a fan of the more people-centric ones either, since they still are super abstract. Like "headcount".

It's Bob. You mean Bob. You want to change the project Bob is on. Have we talked to Bob about it?
Would other airlines want to lease these aircraft, or will the lessors be left holding the bag?

Inventor: "No more trouble than putting a fence post in" haha. Something about being buried in the upright position instead of laying down seems... not very restful. I shudder to think how a corpse in the upright position would decompose differently.
Didn't Russian military just suppress an uprising in Kazakhstan in January? Of course there wouldn't be a peep from Kazakh government against Russia after they just saved their asses. But as we all see, deals with Russia never come without strings attached, so Kazakh government should ponder when is their turn to be "reunited" and "reabsorbed" into Putin's Empire.
And yeah, getting out is a good idea if love for Putin is not the only thing you seek in life. Because in Putin's Empire there wouldn't be many other options left.
They are not. It is the same as how you normally put the DRAM together just inside the same package. It is called System in Package. The same way as Apple has done for their Apple Sx Chip on Apple Watch for years.
My language generates document changes that go inside of a replay log.

I basically translate document layout + transformation logic into JSON changes which can be joined under JSON merge.

The neat thing about basing everyone on JSON merge is that I have a way to deal with buffer bloat very easily with flow control.
This is incorrect. Electoral rating of Putin (as of 2021) is around 30%. The central election committee will just declare the results that Putin wants.

People in the West who live in (relatively) democratic countries just go around saying "Russians elected him" without actually understanding what living under an autocratic rule is like. Putin never won a free and fair election. He persecuted his opponents, denied them access to media (and as of today, there's no independent media left) installed dummy ones that play into his hand and falsified the elections.

It's like seeing hunger in a 3rd world country and saying "why don't they just learn how to program and get an actual job?"

I doubt that same-facility RTT has been fixed at 500µs for 30 years. In EC2 us-east-1 I see < 100µs same-availability-zone RTT on TCP sockets, and those have a lot of very unoptimized software in the loop.

In the first Chechen War, Russia took out the Chechen president with a missile guided by electronic warfare systems to the radio signature of the satellite phone he was using. [1] (Though the Russians probably got some help from the NSA for that.)

There are various mitigatioms but at the end of the day, anything with a radio transmitter in it is also a homing beacon. If Starlink terminals are deemed militarily relevant the Russian forces won't have too much trouble landing missiles on locations where they're transmitting.

An instructive thing here is that a lot of stuff has not improved since ~2004 or so, and working around those things that have not improved (memory latency from ram all the way down to l1 cache really) requires fine control of memory layout and minimizing cache pollution, which is difficult to do with all of our popular garbage collected languages, even harder with languages that don't offer memory layout controls, and jits and interpreters add further difficulty.

To get the most out of modern hardware you need to:

* minimize memory usage/hopping to fully leverage the CPU caches

* control data layout in memory to leverage the good throughput you can get when you access data sequentially

* be able to fully utilize multiple cores without too much overhead and with minimal risk of error

For programs to run faster on new hardware, you need to be able to do at least some of those things.
Not open source, but fairly open standard, I'm in love with Milestone XProtect Essential+[1] because I'm a Windows Server guy.

Free for 8 cameras, has extremely universal support for cameras (you can add in RTSP streams, Onvif, MJPEG/HTTP grab, etc) and some really good SDK support[2] - and a PowerShell module[3] to boot.

And, more importantly, a really good view on ethics[4]:

> We require employees, partners, and customers to comply with applicable laws and to respect human rights. We do not accept discrimination, human rights violations, violations of child labor laws. We have incorporated human rights language into our licensing terms, which were supplemented by the Copenhagen Clause in 2019.

There's two particular incidents that are great examples of this. The '83 false alarm [1], and the 1980 missile silo explosion [2].

In both cases, they were razor-thin near misses. If either accident happened even once more, we absolutely would have either a radiological disaster or accidental nuclear war.

It's this sort of thing that makes me think maybe we shouldn't have any nuclear technology at all, the risks are just too high. Climate change is bad, but not as bad as burning our entire planet to the ground in under an hour, then poisoning it forever.

Keep it open, broadcast Russia's shame(Putin and all Russians know it).
Putin knows the knives are out for him. All visitors are searched and must have a chemical shower(I read, and I assume to stop contact nerve poisons) and he sits set apart from his guests by about 20 or so feet so a suicide bomber with a bomb in his abdomen. There were attempts to kill Hitler as his generals cam to know him as a loon of loons, that sadly failed back in the day.
One can only hope his generals can persuade him or find an elegant path past his protections. I suspect he does not walk on any balconies facing Red Square either, he lost one of his generals to a sniper yesterday?

Amazing performance improvements, except no improvement at all on the packet roundtrip time to Netherlands. Someone should really work on that.
Every day I wonder if what is happening in Ukraine right now - will turn out to be another invasion of Czechoslovakia 2022 edition written in history books as a missed opportunity to turn the tide as the world watched paralyzed by Putin’s nuclear rattle.

Legitimate concern, yes, but here’s the food for thought and mark my words - it is inevitable that very soon Russia’s rhetoric will turn to “economic sanctions are intended to destroy Russia and are an act of war”, along with “supplying Ukrainian resistance is an act of war”, while the nuclear rattle comes out once again in one form or another, like “Russia is forced to respond by arming with nuclear weapons all allied states, such as Iran, Talibistan, North Korea, Venezuela” etc…
What if it was an event where they rallied nearly the entirety of the world apart from the US to cease trading with the US, confiscated or froze US assets abroad, and made threats that their media generally described as "cratering the US economy"? If this resulted in a Great Depression level of death and suffering in the US (which seems to be what our leadership is hoping for in Russia), would you still be inclined to see it as more akin to a minnow like Saudi Arabia unilaterally refusing trade than to killing random US citizens?

(On that matter, the last major instance of another country confiscating Western assets I'm aware of was the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Persian_Oil_Company, which was answered with a CIA-instigated coup.)
I'm curious why you ordered the wavelengths the way you did, you totally potholed my entire comprehension. 10 meters (28mhz) through 10cm (2800mhz) to me reads "left to right".
The emulator for the MIT Lisp Machine doesn't take hours to boot and it seems to run stuff at similar speeds to the real hardware.

I would suggest that anyone contemplating a new system take a really good look at how the MIT Lisp Machine was implemented, maybe look at the K-Machine sources afterwards for a possible way of using native code.
Genocide and ethnic cleansing is already in full swing. Too late for "step on a path".

As a Russian immigrant in US, i support kicking out from US or any other country any Russian who wouldn't condemn in straight clear words Putin's fascist regime and the genocide it conducts in Ukraine. Anything less is just a support of what is going on.

For any public figure it is doubly so. Grischuk didn't even use the word "war" in order to not have issues with Russian government. Well, it is a war and one can't be on good terms with all the sides simultaneously, and there is no neutrality when it comes to genocide and ethnic cleansing. Ukrainian civilians get killed being intentionally bombed in their homes just for being Ukrainians (it is called genocide), Ukrainian women and children are running for their lives to Poland (as their lives are in danger just for them being Ukrainians, and such ethnicity based forced displacement constitutes ethnic cleansing), with some walking tens of kilometers in cold winter, and even some women giving birth in-route. If you don't take their side then you really should be kicked out of the civilized world.
Aren't there certain customs from various religions that dictate how followers are to be buried. I know some are supposed to lay facing east, but maybe I'm forcing the "lay" part in there. Would this work as long as the last twist had the person facing east?

So many questions. Like, why do we bury anyways, blah blah, but don't want to dig that hole.
I got myself a PC with a high-end graphics card for the first time ever recently, and went through a phase of trying various games that would stretch its graphical capabilities.

I was super excited to try Doom Eternal because I was one of the original Doom and Quake generation.

Sadly, I was really disappointed – it felt really linear, a series of set pieces delivered on a conveyor belt, like an old-fashioned arcade game. I installed the raytraced version of Doom 2 and enjoyed replaying it far more – even though Quake 2 wasn’t the best of ID’s titles.
Yes, that’s plainly obvious to anyone who pays attention.
I hope you're right, but this feels like an instance of the hot hand fallacy. In a historical sense, nuclear weapons haven't existed for very long. 76.56 years without a nuclear attack is less than the life expectancy of one US adult. It's too soon to tell.
Yes, in principle, obstructions could make it miss. But also yes, Javelins fly lofted arc trajectories, unless you take the shot a half a second before the target is obstructed, the missile will almost certainly be able to maintain lock even if something obstructs your view of the target.
Funny you should mention Israel.

People playing under the Iranian flag aren't allowed to play people under the Israeli flag. Because they represent Iran, and the player under the Israeli flag represents Israel.

Not only is this not a new issue, it's an issue where lines are already drawn. This is just a tournament choosing sides where the previous instance that I'm aware of was an entire chess federation...
There is some improvement from processors being faster, as more instructions are done at once and more instructions get down towards that 1ns latency that l1 caches provide. You see it happen in real life but the gains are small.
My thought was Dark Castle is missing.
Hey thanks for checking it out. And yeah, I feel the same way about GeoGuessr; I initially wanted to make this a country guessing game but the problem space was too large to play fast and with success.

If this does become popular I'll add your comment as a testimonial in the about page.
I was public schooled k-9th grade, homeschooled 10-12th (though doing college courses, some in person at colleges).

I am also terrible at code switching (I fit in better in the college classes while homeschooled than I ever did in public school, for whatever that is worth). And always have been. And I don't see it as a problem, since the implication that it's beneficial in a given context implies that context isn't diverse or inclusive, and thus I want out of it, not to conform to it.

This is true, but it also ignores that nuclear weapons are used every day in diplomacy. The best use of a gun is to point it at someone, get them to do what you want, and not ever fire it. Sometimes the nukes are just background information, sometimes it is a more direct threat.
You have it in your head that I am a weird pro-west, pro-war anti-Russian fanatic despite everything I have said. I’m sorry, I do not think it’s possible to have a conversation like this.
> Management could choose not

Sure, they could, but they never have.
Uh, no. I'm making a pro civilian point. Also realize that there are many Russians who don't support the war and some are even bravely protesting publicly under the very real threat of imprisonment.

Putin is an evil authoritarian dictator who commits far worse atrocities than removing people's internet access. That should be obvious, but apparently has to be pointed out with a disclaimer before any remotely nuanced statement? I didn't realize this was Twitter!
Now we just need to either beat the speed of light, or speed light up. (thanks futurama)

S&P drags Russia's rating deeper into junk territory
Our racial history is so screwy. Asians actually sued to be classified as white ( mainly for immigration reasons ).

"Instead, he claimed that Japanese people should be properly classified as "free white persons"."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozawa_v._United_States

"Instead, he attempted to be classified as a "free white person" within the meaning of the Naturalization Act based on the fact that Indians and Europeans share common descent from Proto-Indo-Europeans."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Bhagat_Singh_...

One of the reasons "caucasians" came into our lexicon is because we were having trouble defining non-white whites. So indians and persians could be causians, but not white which is primarily used for northern europeans.

And even better one is in the early 20th, after we pretty much wiped out all the natives, the government decided to offer subsidies to the native americans. The native american population increased like 600% within a few years ( aka lots of non-natives claiming to be native to get the goodies ).

The situation is even wackier in central and south america where their racial history separated races by gradients of skin colo with white on the top and black on the bottom.
With IQ tests identifying you as intelligent, you could be in a small class with other terrible students and a teacher who knows how to reach and motivate you. After some weeks you could rejoin the best students and learn at a much higher pace.

Where would you be if you had the best education?
> They can just shut it off voluntarily on their side and use that for leverage.

The sanctions have conveniently carved out exceptions for settling energy, wheat, barley, and other commodity contracts, and it's these contract settlements that have prevented the Ruble's 50% collapse from becoming a 90% collapse.

Starving the West of energy and food would definitely be a fun bargaining chip and/or tit-for-tat escalation play, but I don't think the Russian economy has the stomach for it.
The absolute numbers are also important. I can't tell you how many times I've had someone coming from a front-end world tells me 5ms for some trivial task (e.g. sorting a 1000ish element list) is "fast" just because it happened faster than their reaction time.
The "commodity network" thing is kind of weird. I'd expect that to make a 10x jump when switches went from Fast Ethernet to Gigabit (mid-late 2000s?) and then nothing. I certainly don't feel like they've been smoothly increasing in speed year after year.

I'm also curious about those slow 1990s SSDs.
Is there anything short of "get a better antenna" that helps address these issues? Recently had to switch to Wi-Fi for my desktop and have been frustrated with the inability to stop the connection from constantly being on the edge of not-working.
