Slowness is surely even better for nepotism and corrupt behaviour.
1.5 kb/s at 5 cm is rather bad. Assuming 24fps (typical smartphone camera) sample rate with QAM-256 modulation, shouldn't the bandwidth be at least a magnitude higher even after error correction? They have 16 LEDs, assuming half are fiducial markers, they will have 8 extra channels.
Distance to the target doesn’t matter because to an astronomical telescope every object of interest is at optical infinity, but yes, if you know (an approximation) of the optical system’s point spread function, you can compensate for the effects of aberrations including diffraction.

The JWST team knows the PSF from having designed, simulated, and now actually testing the telescope, and likely it will come useful in getting the last bits of scientifically valuable information out of the data, but in normal use those diffraction spikes in particular are unlikely to be any problem. They basically only show up because the star in the test image is highly overexposed.
Re-orgs are often partially a garbage collection process, I have noticed. Lots of talk about "efficiency" and "better alignment". All fluff you expect, but in practical terms, a lot of people get let go, projects and org units disappear, and priorities are reorganized. The whole operation is expected to work as if the re-org never happened, and often it will.
Every blue check and MSM outlet would be shocked to learn that Americans can both say "Slava Ukraini!" and point out how associating inconvenient facts with Putin and Trump is a neoliberal strategy to distance themselves from their history of meddling in Ukraine. The real problem is that those who find it controversial happen to have control over the national discourse.
Wait how does that work? Emitting radiation is literally the only job a light has.
Are you expecting Intel or AMD to announce a new chip and only tell you the level of performance you can expect while running ARM software under emulation?
I've not seen anyone cycling at normal speeds fall off like that before. It's always a result of swerving because of someone else, or because they're going too fast and the aerodynamics take over their steering.

The most I've done is lost a saddle because the force of me sitting down while cycling over a pot hole I didn't see snapped it off.

I have however seen many cyclists go over car bonnits, including myself
Switched and came back after about 3 years (to zsh).

Fish is nice in many ways, but it kinda lives up to its "A command line for the 90's" slogan. It's better than what came before it, but I'm not sure it's better enough. Using a non-POSIX shell can feel like death by 1000 cuts sometimes, and I wasn't sure the benefits of Fish were worth the cost. Also, scripting feels like a bit of an afterthought in Fish and that's a very important part of a shell to me.

These days I'm feeling optimistic about Nushell; it's not quite ready for most people to use as a daily driver, but it's getting there and it has a much stronger value proposition than Fish.
permitting is indeed at the center of it; I suggest that if it wasn't bats and salamanders, it would simply be something else to stall about.. even with extreme stories, and their opposite where a real estate developer finds and kills the last flower or butterfly on the land (which is true also), I support saving bats and salamanders. You know how easy it is to mix and pour a portion of an acre of concrete? or run a chain saw? literally forty years of growth can be killed in a half a day.. easy..

That's probably also the case in China, for everything. Which might be why they can build so qyickly and cheaply.

I see the problem with Google search of today vs Google search of 10 years ago being that the first page of search has already become a "Youtube-style recommendations for websites". It's more like a curated list of "approved content" now.
> Okay, I call bullshit. That which can be claimed without evidence can also be refuted without evidence.

Aside from the extreme rudeness, what evidence are you looking for? Do you want GP to attach sensitive or classified pen tests results here in public forum?

GP's claim is so obviously true that I don't see why they would need to provide "evidence," but you can find a mountain of it yourself with a single duck: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=us+government+penetration+tests&at...

Pen tests are a requirement for any vendor doing business with the gov. Check out NIST 800-53 and the FedRAMP security process. It's much more intensive than SOC2 which is the standard in the commercial world. I think your information is about 10 to 20 years out of date.

The number of rays is determined by the number of aperture blades, as well as whether there's an even or odd number of aperture blades

https://phillipreeve.net/blog/best-lenses-for-sunstars/#The_...

Interestingly, some modern photography lenses have achieved aperture mechanisms with much rounder geometry, sometimes with near perfect circles at multiple apertures. This can result in a more desirable bokeh, at the cost of well defined sun stars.
The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel is a truly exceptional and balanced view on life/money and the emotional challenge of making and keeping money.

> I disagree that it's a good thing. It's still being burned, so the environment damage is still there.

I won't try and argue against "if we never had fossil fuels, the environment would be better" (I agree, but we also probably wouldn't be communicating right now, were that not the case), but by mitigating flares, you can significantly reduce methane emissions (98+%), CO2 (~70%)/CO (95%), VOCs, etc. It's not "good" for the environment, but it's a hell of a lot better than what's currently being done.

Lots of folks ITT have discussed a carbon tax on emissions; think of flare mitigation via crypto as an economic incentive for companies to voluntarily reduce their emissions much faster than a state/federal government can move to enact legislation. It achieves the same end result, just one is aligned with the current dominant economic system in the country, and one would likely end up in political gridlock.

>> Russia is dying.

Fertility rate worldwide has plummeted and the population has peaked. Including these as war relate statistics is disingenuous.

On a different note, population reduction is good for the environment and long term survival of the species but terrible for the economy and wealth - especially of some countries.
Me: dying for a hundred times at the same spot. I just wish those "soul" games are more accessible to mortal like me. I'm an avid gamer (FPS) but those games are taking a toll in my confidence. Playing them feels like doing a chore, repeatedly. I tried Bloddborne because the atmosphere and art works are fantastic but couldn't even get over the first level (or act?). I really wanted to give Elder Ring a try but, the horror of doing chores :-)
While Ori is similar genre, I think it doesn't have the sheer depth of lore and world-building that pulls many people into Souls games.

Hollow Knight on the other hand does.

Never read Atlas Shrugged, but I had to read The Fountainhead for English in high school and it was really transformative. It helped me suss out flawed philosophy and gave me a sense of skepticism when being told what to think by authority (my English teacher at the time thought Ayn Rand was the second coming of Christ). I remember offering different perspectives when discussing the themes of the novel and basically being berated and told that I was wrong (about an opinion). Wild.
How do you se for 2FA?
Web UIs solve most of that - even easier to implement than TUIs and you can use them remotely.

The only big issues I have with them are security (most don't restrict connections to the same user and I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of them listen on 0.0.0.0) and launching them. There isn't a good cross-platform way to launch a browser.
I mainly meant CI/CD builds. Or any future build on a new machine.
What would you guys think of a Deel but for local inventory/payment solutions?
Let's you're in ecommerce and you see/want to expand in a new region.

Yet in the article he says “ The upside is that — and this is admittedly a strange time to suggest it — the world is going to be a lot less violent”.

Saddam Hussein was hardly a teenager when he invaded Kuwait, and Putin is no spring chicken. I don’t know what the answer is, but I suspect this guy doesn’t either.

It’s a shame though, since the collapse of the Soviet Union the share of the worlds population dying in warfare has collapsed. It was already on a strong downward trend after the end of WW2. Let’s hope Ukraine is an outlier.
I'm glad that I missed out on this era of dating (by having cats). ;)
I think the idea is great. Since I had really bad experience with NPT and it was not trivial to sync the clocks. BUT just a bit surprised that they raised so much money.
This is a good question. Where do we draw the line at human rights? Should land ownership be a protected right? It would cost a lot less if the government just took the land instead of paying fair market value.

It would also cost a lot less if we forced all criminals to work for free (though right now, they practically work for free). The problem is that we would quickly run out of criminals since there are so many projects that needs work. We could just randomly enslave people to do work for free.

Enslaving citizens wouldn't be fair or popular with the citizens of our country. Another option is to use our military might to subjugate other countries and bring them over to work, say to work on our farms. That would allow for very high gdp growth.

So where do we draw the line and who gets to draw that line?
That’s quite disappointing. This is like when they banned GitHub…
Jacob’s Room, Virginia Woolf

Before this book I generally did not read, unless it was a Star Trek branded airport novel. I had just got an iPad and was rummaging around the Project Gutenberg texts they’d dumped into iBooks. I chose it impulsively.

This book set my brain and heart on fire and opened the world of literature for me. It’s very specific, though, and I can’t -recommend- it to anyone.

There is little spackle in this book, as if every sentence and scene is cropped a bit beyond the point of readability. But reading aloud it flows well. There is effectively no plot and a great deal of its merit is at the sentence level. Furthermore, this book in particular resonated with me emotionally.

I was thirsty for more and read other classics. My favorites; To the Lighthouse, Picture of Dorian Grey and Thus Spake Zarathustra (the translation they have on Gutenberg).

This hobby dominated my attention for years. What displaced it was I had to learn Polish. At first I tried to combine these; I read Charlotte’s Web, the Little Prince and Pulp (bukowski) in Polish. But it really wasn’t an effective way to continue and Polish was the priority. All other hobbies had to go.

There's a small distillation of his principles in The Not So Big House, (bonus, it has photos). From what I remember, you want to design space so people move from dark toward light, light rooms from two sides, sleep area should be like covered nooks for feeling of security, stairs and halls should be wider, there should be views from one room to another ... A Pattern Language and The Not So Big House informed how we did renovations in our own home.

I'm perplexed to see that you are afraid of random people coming into your neighborhood. In fact I'm more perplexing about the zoning laws in America.

That was my first thought.

When I got my first Indiglo watch, I realized the backlight had such fast rise/fall times (as compared to its incandescent predecessors) that it could be used to transmit data. I imagined watches with photocells, held face-to-face, flickering their backlights at each other to "synchronize watches" before a special-ops mission or something.

A few years later, Timex DataLink came out, indeed using a photocell to receive data, but not using the backlight to transmit it! And in all the years since, nobody ever took advantage of that.

But here we seem to be, with phones, a million times more powerful and a million times less power-efficient.
Except that skews the candidates that pass younger. If you’re fresh out of school, you remember binary trees or sorting algorithms.

After doing software development for 20+ years, you’ve been using those structures as a small part of the larger problems you now solve. If you go looking for a new job, you don’t necessarily remember all these tricks to invert a binary tree, and you fail. Even though you have all that experience in what you actually will be asked to do on the job.

The problem is that there is no incentive for a government service to perform as its existence is not at risk.

There is no competition to the DMV, so there is no incentive to run it well.

The USPS will always exist due to being a federally funded service, so there isn't a massive incentive to compete with FedEx, UPS, etc.

Since these organizations do not live in competitive environments there is no drive for them to ever improve.

They cannot be improved with elections because the political state of America is so polarized that it is broken. Elections are decided on one thing alone - whether you run as red or blue. Platform objectives (eg "fix the DMV") are irrelevant because they no longer sway voters. All that matters in an election at this point is whether you are Republican or Democrat.
Fortunately, it doesn't need to be so.

Countries like the Netherlands and Denmark have invested heavily in road safety in general and bicycle safety in particular.

By taking many measures among which things like: physically separating bicycles from cars, reducing speed limits, introducing traffic calming, and conversely by building better highways for the cars to use instead ; these countries have been making bicycling something that is very safe for people of all ages. (and en passant may have also made walking and driving safer too)
Zed Shaw's "Learn C the hard way". Had years of scientific programming before that (R, Matlab). But I used to be afraid of working with "real" code bases. This book (which still has an unfinished feel to it) helped me understand how computers work and how to write programs with that understanding - at a high level. Learning about "Object-oriented programming" with plain C was super fun. Not the most illuminating book I've read (e.g. The Gene by Siddhartha Mukherjee), but the others did not change my life.
Stepping out of self deception by Rodney Smith. A Buddhist book by someone who has really internalized the dharma and uses his own words rather than reiterating the same jargon as everyone else.

As someone who got caught up in a lot of "spiritual materialism" in dharma practice, over-fixation on techniques and theory, this book reached me in a way that nothing else did.

I think you're underestimating the capabilities assistive technologies have for dealing with dynamic UX.

Apps can be accessible. Video games can be accessible. The claim that any experience delivered in a web browser should, to enhance accessibility, remove and simplify interactivity down to just hyperlinks and forms, rather than support assistive technology in the use of more advanced interactions, seems completely defeatist.

An absolutely enormous number of people in our western societies are employed in making reports. They don't do technical things, like engineers. They don't decide things, like management or politicians. They make a living by "contributing" to reports that actually do need to be written, essentially by ballooning the size and time taken to make the report. There are legitimate reasons why doers (engineers) and deciders (mgt, govt) need reports, but like advertising there's too much of it and we don't know what to cut once it's there.

The reason there's these 575 page reports as mentioned in the article is that it's never enough just to say "the bird sanctuary will be harmed by this windfarm, let's think about that". You need a sweeping survey of how many birds there are, how many people visit the sanctuary, how much they spend at the shop, and so on. If you try to head this off by saying you want to just summarize it, you are the bad guy who wants to trample the rights of the kids who enjoy counting the birds.

As mentioned, for large projects this naturally ends up in court as well, and that of course takes a long time.

We also live in the age of PR, so it's not really in anyone's political interest to make a bunch of enemies. Even if those enemies have a relatively small claim to veto a project, it will inevitably loom large in the public debate about it. If TV news manages to find that a kid who likes the birds, they will put him on TV and you will have to find an appropriate face for the interview.
