The crane is actually a hold-over from the 124.

In fact the 124's is more capable: to save on weight, the 225 dropped the rear cargo doors.

On the 124, the crane extends into the tail and over the rear doors, meaning it can crane loads in and out of the plane, so you can just reverse a truck behind the plane and load straight from the trailer (obviously flatbed or intermodal). The crane can lift 30 tonnes so it's pretty damn capable.

I built https://golang.cafe as a niche curated job board and community for Go. I found myself jobs through it and so did many other Go engineers.

What is different to other boards:

- only job postings with clear salary ranges

- no recruiter spam, apply to companies directly

- hand curated and reviewed jobs

- open source

- filter by minimum salary

When I m not looking for a Go job I just go straight to LinkedIn

Also I know there was a curated list of job board alternatives here https://stackoverflowjobsalternatives.com/ still all very niche I think
As a balding man, I've certainly been tempted to try finasteride. But the idea of keeping my hair by messing with my hormones sounded insane, so I never did it. I agree, this should not be an approved drug.
It's not like typing in a Faxanadu code. The ransomers are sitting on a mess of confidential information they lifted from Nvidia and they likely have zero clue how it all works. Keeping it to themselves was probably the original plan, but once they got a taste for how tragic engineering is behind the curtain their only chance for recuperating the investment became (1) forcing Nvidia to write the driver update for them; or (2) leak it and hope some open source developer volunteers.
Crypto is held back by its own stupidity & inefficiency - the system self-regulates well enough.

The only thing a blockchain is good for is assets that fully live on the blockchain for which the source of truth is the blockchain itself - like cryptocurrencies.

Putting NFTs, video game/metaverse avatars, real-world assets, etc will never work; it's at best a very inconvenient, inefficient database replacement, and at worst a scam.

I've always hated the term "special characters." If you are a non-technical user, it leaves a lot to the imagination.

1. What characters count as special? Does "special" mean non-alphanumeric? If so, just say that, don't say "special".

2. Among those, which ones will be accepted by your password system? Is \ acceptable? Will ™ be accepted? What about emoji (which evidently HN comment input doesn't seem to accept)?

Most password entry prompts do not answer either of these questions, so you have to either guess or just use ! or # and move on with your life.

Both of my children went to Montessori kindergarten. Our younger son is neurotypical, but our older son has atypical autism; when he started kindergarten he struggled with language and would spend literally hours looking at the aquarium in the room. He was exactly the sort of kid would would not necessarily stick to an activity unassisted.

The Montessori philosophy is very much NOT laissez faire: Kids are free to choose their activity, but then they are supervised and assisted to persist at that activity for a period of time (AND to put everything away neatly afterwards AND to not interfere with others). A properly run Montessori school might be very well suited for your children, but of course you'd have to evaluate that yourself.

Both of my children transitioned to the state school system without too many difficulties (the younger one had some initial problems adjusting to the rougher environment). We loved Montessori as a school concept; one problem with sending your children to a private school in Switzerland however is that it puts them in a social bubble (in a telling anecdote, the other children once referred to my wife as my son's nanny, because so many of them were picked up at school by hired help), and we preferred a more egalitarian environment.
Anecdotally from my own experience, there seem to be fewer new (~weeks old) accounts posting inflammatory messages on Reddit.

This is the purported reason of the Russian leadership and supported by academic "geopolitics experts" in the West, who trade in depicting the world as 2 or 3 powers and a bunch of helpless will-less vassals doing their whims and suffering for it. More likely from what he says Putin's reasons are for returning Russia to some bygone glory. But for the public that supports the war, they are being told it's to fight Nazis. That should be easier to deprogram than the NATO expansion story

Use git but don't use github.
[OK, last last post…]

“I think a way to get non-programmers into language would be to adopt an existing language like Swift or Kotlin, and add support for block-based syntax”

LOL. So like learning and using MIT Scratch or Siri Shortcuts; only instead of stepping on a Duplo brick in the pitch black of night you’re walking across a solid carpet of Lego Technic, infinitely vast.

No mate, you cannot make a programming language simple, accessible, and massively appealing to non-programmers by hiding all its complexity behind brightly-colored bullshit. You do it by eliminating all that bullshit outright. And once you have, explain to your users how to operate what’s left, simply and concisely, using practical, purpose-driven, lay language that doesn’t require a CS degree to interpret it.

Extending around that core—using the best modern text, graphical, and verbal tools, from autosuggest and autocomplete, through to the latest AI- and human-backed “would you like some help with that?”—can improve its usability ten-fold. But if the core isn’t profoundly usable to begin with, then all you’ve done is take a lump of crap and hide its awfulness under ineffective bandaids on top.

Take the lesson from AppleScript’s history: Clever faking does NOT work. It just bites everyone’s ass.

…

So what will work? More history! Go read Seymour Papert’s Mindstorms, and form your end-user language with all the parsimony, clarity, and accessibility that Logo already realized over 50 years ago.

(Tip: Think “toy Lisp”, minus bloody parenthesis. And if it takes you more than a week to build this new end-user language, you’ve done it wrong.)

Learn a brief history of written language and see how much humanity has already successfully built with simple written words. And then, go take a business class, and learn some marketing and sales, so you can translate that vision to mass-market successful and not repeat Papert’s fatal error.

Seymour built his products for kids; and the kids who “got it”, loved it. Because Logo took all power and promise which technology held, and placed it in their young hands to do with as they will. He nailed that part of the problem; better than anyone before and since.

Seymour’s tragic mistake was in not realizing how to sell his product to The People in Power. i.e. Those who hold all the purse strings and solemnly decret what Shall be Learned by Children—and How. Smart guy; true visionary. Bit naive. And so he lived the rest of his life shaking his fist angrily at clouds, never realizing why he had failed so utterly in Changing the World. (So don’t bother reading The Children’s Machine, it’s bollocks.)

If only Bill Atkinson, or Cook and Harris, had done Logo 2.0 instead of warmed-over Algols. That was a mistake. Though as Keith Braithwaite painfully observes:

“It's a curious thing about our industry: not only do we not learn from our mistakes, we also don't learn from our successes.”

So it goes.

Yes, the polling changed and they follow the polls:

The message is backed by advice from Biden’s polling firm, Impact Research, which studied voter attitudes to Covid and found that most Americans are "worn out" by the restrictions and "have personally moved out of crisis mode."

In a Feb. 16 memo, the firm told Democrats to take "the win" on Covid, warning that by 49 percent to 24 percent, Americans are more concerned about it causing economic harm than infecting them or a family member, and that far more parents and teachers worry about learning loss than illness for their kids.

"The more we talk about the threat of COVID and onerously restrict people’s lives because of it, the more we turn them against us and show them we’re out of touch with their daily realities," Impact Research’s Molly Murphy and Brian Stryker wrote in the memo, which was viewed by NBC News. They warned that if Democrats continue to emphasize Covid precautions over learning to live in a world with the virus, "they risk paying dearly for it in November."

So for example, you consider the 3 Democratic Governors of California, Oregon and Washington ending their state's various mask mandates 4+ months after the VA election to be "eager to end COVID restrictions no matter what".

Do you think the Omicron wave might have had more to do with the COVID restrictions than the VA governor's race?
Thanks. You basically are restating my point. The world is full of circumstances in which people hurt other people, in a vicious circle where people grow up with insecurities and try to secure themselves at the expense of others.

In a free market that expresses itself as abusing the law, meaning regulations are necessary.

Subtract our issues that cause us to abuse our fellow humans and our environment, and capitalism is the way to peacefully coexist while keeping making progress.

Most of the things you are complaining of are symptoms that many, many people have at one time or another. I have had most of them at one time or another.

So you are not particularly special, and should perhaps relax - a lot of these things can be brought on by anxiety.

"A portable charging station" is actually just a power cable. For basic overnight charging all you need is a 30A 240V circuit (the same kind of wiring as for induction cooktops and electric dryers) and the right plug. That won't fast-charge anything, but it'll get you about 20 miles of (temperate) weather range per hour plugged in.
My big pushback on this is not that it's hard to be an "agency of one" (it's easier than you think), but that it's hard to stay an "agency of one" --- the business model work this article talks overlaps almost perfectly with the work it takes to scale a consultancy to multiple people delivering.

Something I read[1] that resonated a few months ago:

> Dying from Covid is more or less optional at this point. If you want to remove the risk of dying, get the vaccine. If you want to take the risk, don’t.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29561158

This is a bit reductive -- people in some countries may not have easy access to the vaccine, people whose immune systems don't respond to the vaccine may need still-scarce antiviral treatment to maintain a mortality rate on par with the vaccinated, and in the US there may still be people who genuinely cannot logistically manage getting the vaccine.

But this is something I've been thinking about a bit lately: when will be the "tipping point" after which more than 50% of all US covid deaths will have been a personal choice?

We're at about 950k deaths now. The "everyone will be eligible to schedule an appointment" date was in April 2021 (at about 570k deaths). So maybe another 3 months?

WWIII started back in Korea and Vietnam then.

The soviets were sending SAMs and soviet operators into Vietnam which shot down American planes. That was more directly WWIII than where we're at now.

And we are sending a massive amount of Swedish AT4 antitank weapons, along with stingers, javelins, planes and the surprisingly effective turkish drones.

There is this line that we can't cross which is sending NATO troops directly into Ukraine, which is just insane logic driven by nuclear weapons. If you do that you risk response directly on sites in NATO countries and can tit-for-tat into a "strategic missile exchange" that risks the entire planet.

There is a reasonably agreed upon policy for keeping conflicts between superpowers contained so that they don't boil over into nuking the planet and we're following that policy. That means Ukrainians have to do all the dying. The alternative is everyone dies.

I think parent actually meant plurality, at least that’s how I read it.

However these numbers are quite interesting. Some people attribute Nixon’s second election to his promise of withdrawing from Vietnam and one can easily blame the war for the problematic 1968 election for the democrats. LBJ was probably even gonna be the first sitting president to loose in a primary before he announced his non-bid.

I’m guessing the 1964 for election he was pretty much just riding the popularity of the recently assassinated John F. Kennedy. (Plus the war hadn’t escalated at this point).

Ask HN: "Order of Magnitude”?
I noticed Satoshi Nakamoto used the phrase "order of magnitude" a lot. Like Elon Musk. What do people think?

"I thought it would be impractical if the block chain, bitcoin addresses, disk space and bandwidth requirements were all an order of magnitude bigger."

"RSA can do both, but I didn’t use it because it’s an order of magnitude bigger and would have been impractical."

"I know for competitive reasons the inclination is to keep it to yourself, but it could get an order of magnitude more use if anyone could give proxy access to their country just by putting the software on a server."

"Setting up the buffer takes an order of magnitude longer than the actual hashing if you’re only hashing one or two blocks like we do."

"The new efficient single-pass algorithm is orders of magnitude quicker."

Everything is a tabloid, including government reporting. We won't know how many people have died of COVID unitl the academics start studying excess deaths and get into years long fights over the minutiae of "with" and "of." We still don't have exact numbers on any modern genocides and likely won't ever.

I never expected a "free democracy" to run into basic stalinist subversion of facts, but here we are.
As a start, you could join unions that organise cross-domain and make life for QA, tech support and many others nicer. Or achieve any other corporation specific goal that you can't change achieve your own (higher quality standards, 20% time etc., Better bonuses...make sure you get as much of the value you create as possible). Life could be even nicer basically.

If you are convinced you can still do it when programmers aren't in demand anymore and they won't immediately offshore those jobs, I won't convince you otherwise.
There are a couple of things at play here.

So first, if you need to do 'work', then definitely just use electricity directly to do the job, which is much more efficient.

I agree it wouldnt make sense to split natural gas (into CO2 + H2) and then recombine it back into ethanol, although oil companies would love to do this as they have billions in stranded assets in the form of natural gas.

Ideally you couple some process that generates CO2 (not from burning fossil fuels) with renewable electricity to recycle that carbon back into useful chemicals to displace petroleum derived chemicals. Two examples of this would be cement manufacture and industrial brewing. But yes you need an external energy input, like with most things.

As a side note, the impact of this depends on where you get your energy (renewable of course) and your carbon. Some companies have caught onto this. For example Unilever created a carbon 'rainbow' to separate the types of carbon. Recycling renewable carbon is the goal here.
Time and materials billing does the opposite of keeping everyone on the same side --- most especially hourly, which is just about the worst way you can structure a contracting relationship.
