In most forms of bulk goods transport the power unit can be decoupled from the part the goods ride in. Seems possible that might also work for ships.
I have had plenty of people ask me for Whatsapp contact info. It's frustrating to tell them I don't have it. At one point it was a real estate agent who insisted on it, and refused to use email, or any of the other popular apps I use. I found it difficult to believe that he'd rather lose my business than use another system for me, but, there you go.
Twitter has two kinds of experience: "Home" and "Latest". "Latest" is only people that you follow, their tweets and retweets in chronological order. "Home" is generated feed of tweets from people you follow, sometimes tweets that they just liked, trends and random bullshit. Needles to say that "Home" is Twitter's default mode and you'll get occasionally switched to it even if you choose "Latest".
The difficulty with this approach is that whilst it can work, it requires a high degree of intellectual honesty, meaning that you have to go in open to the possibility that the person you're talking to is correct and it's you yourself who is wrong. Because the person you're talking to, of course, believes they are right and you are wrong. If you aren't open to that possibility at all why would they bother trying to persuade you of what they believe? It's only by trying to explain that, and then losing an honest debate, that the truth can be revealed.

The belief that "Ukraine needs to be liberated from the Nazis" comes from the fact that whilst Zelensky himself may not himself be a Nazi, he employs people who definitely are Nazis in his military and relies on them apparently quite heavily. Apparently he doesn't have a problem with this. This has been true for many years, i.e. the Ukrainian government has been sending Nazis to kill the "pro Russian separatists" in the east (whoever they truly are or who supports them doesn't matter much for whether this claim is true or not).

So if you try and stop a Russian person believing the Ukrainian government is allied with Nazis you'll probably fail, because the claim is true on its face. The better angle is probably to go with arguments like these?

a. Is it ever morally right to start a pre-emptive war against a potential future adversary? Here you'll probably get something about the Iraq wars and it may be required to admit the US was at fault here, if you want to take that angle, or at least not morally superior.

b. Are the fighters in the Russian military of the same level of threat as the original Nazis, just because they wear the same symbols etc? Or is this comparison overblown, for domestic propaganda purposes?

c. Is this Putin's real motivation or just a handy excuse to do what he wanted to do anyway?
It is pretty much understood in most aspects that pertain regular software development, though there are still corners that are investigated.

The most accurate and fast emulator right now is Ares (https://ares-emu.net), which bundles the Vulkan-accelerated RDP emulation with a recompiler for both CPU and RSP. It is extremely accurate in many regards and in general much closer to the real hardware than any other emulators (with cen64 being a close second). Other emulators manage to run most of the game library but using several hacks, while Ares keeps a zero-hack approach, so not everything works, but it is for instance far more compatible with advanced home-brew stuff which use the hardware in ways that the Nintendo SDK did not.

The most advanced open source library for N64 development is libdragon (https://github.com/DragonMinded/libdragon) which is currently growing very advanced RSP ucodes that do things that are not possible with Nintendo SDK. For instance, it was recently merged a command list support to send commands from CPU to RSP without any lock in the happy path, and fully concurrent access from both the processors. Another example would be its DMA support for fetching data from ROM that exploits undocumented partially-broken features of the RCP that were previously unknown to allow for misaligned memory transfers.

The most accurate source of hardware documentation is the n64brew wiki, which is slowly gathering accurate, hardware-tested information on how the whole console works. https://n64brew.dev/wiki/Main_Page. Unfortunately, it's still lacking in many areas (eg: RSP). It's a painstaking long work because there are many many documents floating around with partial or completely wrong information.
Thanks for the link, that seems very useful. I recently had to work around this by transforming a list (a, b, c, d) into something like 1+1+1+1+0 to get a count. What this RFC proposes looks so much less painful.
For integration with non-engineering teams, a good idea is to create a separate repo that just contains issues to reduce how many people have access to the code. You can still link to prs from your code repo(s) within the issues and they can be closed automatically when the pr is merged.

> To say that WASM and JS run in the same VM is utterly misleading the the point of being wrong.

https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/blob/main/crane...

"SpiderMonkey currently has two WebAssembly compilers: The tier 1 baseline compiler (not shown below) and the tier 2 compiler using the IonMonkey JavaScript compiler's optimizations and register allocation."

I don't think that would work in Greek.
> In which culture? In Asia or Africa sure, less that 1% where "white" (not so sure if less or equal than 50% were male).

I didn't say a culture. I was referring to all writers in history. The author of the article is a professor of English literature, but they don't specify a specific course that they're teaching.

Even if they're only teaching literature written in English by native speakers, they would still have a wide variety of female, non-straight, and non-white people to choose from.

> There's nothing wrong with that picking from what's available and finding out you've mostly picked white males - the injustice was that they were being the majority at their time, not in the after-the-fact picking of the best.

This is exactly the point that the writer of this article is making -- that their mostly white/straight/male selection of authors is not due to malice or bias, but rather due to history.
The key thing is the supply of water is limited, no matter where it ends up at. And as the supply of water is so limited, it is better from a point of efficiency to produce goods with a higher value for humans.
1 watt. So about 0.1 amps. But the car had a 30 amp-hour battery, so after 10 days the battery is fully drained. And lead acid batteries don't like being fully drained more than once or twice, so after a month or two, you have to buy a new battery. And the process repeats...

This happens even if you drive the car every day. Since a full charge of a lead acid battery is 12+ hours, if you only drive the car half an hour per day, then each day you are discharging more than you charge.
Really cool project. My feedback:

Piece of paper quiets Intel Alder Lake stock coolers
This begs the question - is there a maximum "star cluster" size, beyond which a post-meat society on starship(s) would be unable to obtain more energy?

In essence, given some function that takes in:

- a graph of stars/blackholes (energy sources), with:

- the distances between each energy source

- the expected remaining lifetime of the source

- (optionally) the probable locations of new sources, and their expected time to maturity

and:

- a set of starships, with:

- the maximum material lifetime of the starship (e.g. of solar panels)

- the percentage of material renewal possible at each node

- the energy consumption of the starship

is there a finite longest path, that is meaningfully smaller than the universe?

And what is the probability that we will encounter a life-bearing planet on this path, which we will have to mine to oblivion to enable the renewal of our starship(s) for the survival of our own species?
My problem was not with Alexa specifically, it was a general feeling of "if software controls both locks and blinds it can lock you not only outside but inside as well". Of course I was immediatelly told that there's a physical workaoround in case anything goes wrong.

I cited this example not as something that is objectively bad, but as something subjective, more about my gut reaction.

Funny thing is both my friend and I have electrical engineering education. I went to build software for a living, he more or less moved to sales/management. His job is to hype tech. My job is to make the saussage. There's a popular meme which I heard some time after the anecdote above:

Tech enthusiasts: My entire house is smart.

Tech workers: The only piece of technology in my house is a printer and I keep a gun next to it so I can shoot it if it makes a noise I don't recognize.
> no way to refer to existing geometry (to sketch something on a face and extrude that, for example)

How do you solve that in "code CAD"? I mean referring to a geometry that's a result of some previous operations, not one that you manually created.
They’ve had a year with the students they admitted with no SAT. So they have one year of instructor experience with students selected without benefit of SATs. 700 or so students, two semesters of examinations. That’s plenty of data to see a dramatic fall in student preparedness.

Ask HN: Ideas for a project to practice skill in React/Node.js?
I really want to create something new just to practice my skills, I have already created standard Fullstack projects in Blitz.js like a simple blog with admin panel and comments, or a simple forum.

Unfortunately I'm not too creative to come up with a new interesting project, and I would really like to start programming more in my free time, but I have no idea.

Thank you for every idea, even the stupidest, because every idea is valuable.
That’s very interesting. How do you know the data wasn’t from a signup of any sort? I wonder about that constantly — it seems like the #1 vector. And although I’ve been careful not to fill in phone number fields, I’d be lying if I said there were zero cases of me plugging in my number into “the wrong form”. It feels impossible to tell now which forms will bite you.

And they’re always so insidious. Want to try out some new app that’s going viral? “Phone number verification please.” Oh good, now I have the choice of not joining my friends, or risking some spammer from India three years from now will be texting me at 3am to sell me silagra, because Hip New App had a data sharing agreement with Company X, who passed around my phone number like a pipe at a frat party.

The worst part is that it’s somehow possible to detect whether you’re giving them a “real phone number” and not a twilio number. And it turns out that all those services that offer burner lines are all built on twilio. Which means (to my dismay) I couldn’t just set up a damn burner number unless I literally bought a second phone.

At this point the situation is so comical that carrying around a burner phone next to my laptop is suddenly seeming like a rational totally-normal thing to do.
Debian uses the Schulze method (if things haven't changed recently), so I do not see how that would have an impact on the result.
While @channel is generally rude (unless it's something really urgent, and even then that's better solved by having one person specifically be interruptible for urgent questions), it's even better to just not check Slack after hours.
There are also people who now live with crippling injuries, or who died, because they took the vaccines, despite being at statistically ~no risk from COVID. They took them because they were told, wrongly, that the shots were perfectly safe. Detached from reality, it seems.

BTW, you probably shouldn't admit that you're nasty and "racist" whilst also claiming to be more intelligent than other people who made different decisions to you. It's a nonsensical claim: refusing shots is not a race, and black Americans refuse shots at a much higher rate than whites do anyway. Hating anti-vaxxers is just ordinary hatred, pure and simple. You don't need to abuse unrelated words for it.
I am not familiar with Debian's practices, but electronic voting can't work for a nation because:

- centralization (there must be a central, corruptible place where the voters are authenticated or the votes are counted)

- software is untrustable: https://www.win.tue.nl/%7Eaeb/linux/hh/thompson/trust.html

The USA has had a Diebold voting scandal. Other countries are using a paper-based voting process which can be supervised by third parties.

This is something that took me years to grok about Twitter. Each tweet creates a forum that is solely moderated by the tweeter. Mod powers include blocking people (which removes all their replies from the forum and from any other forum you create in future, as well as blocks them from seeing your tweets), and locking the whole forum (making it read-only except for named people).
You're assuming that it's simply a component that will be passed on in the price, rather than affecting the supply/demand levels, or being multiplied by the margins of various intermediaries?

Every dollar that passes through every restaurant or grocery store, plus all commercial catering? Is some of that double-counting food processing as well?
They use ranked choice voting so this shouldn't matter, as far as I understand RCV eliminates the lowest option one-by-one, passing the votes to the next option on each ballot as if the eliminated option never existed.

The discussion seems to be about ballots with 3 > 2 > 4, and when 3 was eliminated the votes went to 2, allowing it to pass. That's a bit strange because you'd expect a ballot to always have 3 next to 4 since they are so similar.
In that case, I'll suggest you consider a FRITZ!box from avm (https://en.avm.de/). It might be a "local" thing, but ask any person with IT knowledge in Germany for a router suggestion, you will hear 9 out of 10 this brand. The routers are robust, well designed (or not, some think they are ugly as hell) and secure in comparison to any competitor. Disadvantages are they are not easily hackable for oneself and some things that wrt allows because its open it does not. Then again, the development of the OS it runs on continues and recently they added (experimental) support for Wireguard. (I wonder btw why they are not mentioned here - lack of international support? But I've seen them at least at friends all over europe)
It’s not that simple. Also, the article isn’t about binaries at all, but about code generation at build time.
Another way to see it is that while we are so small and irrelevant - enjoy the fact that we are irrelevant and yet we get all this.

Add to this the scale of time - just remember that in 500 million years after all evidence of us is long, long, LONG gone that the clouds will still form and the waves will still crash on the shore.

That we are here and potentially meaningless isn't something to fear, it is something to cherish.
On the contrary, as someone with a great interest in aeroplanes and aviation safety, I would choose to travel everywhere by airliner if airports weren't such a depressing experience.

Learning more has made me extremely confident in aviation (737 MAX issue aside but even that is nothing compared to the risk of driving).
It sure would be nice if I could drag replies that went out of thread into a thread...
If that's their response, then you should also expect them to get a computer science degree every time MS Word shows a vague popup and every time their OS hides or changes the way it works, or every time a major software update breaks existing functionality.

I'm sure it would make the lives of whoever manages their IT a lot easier if they can just expect the lawyers to go through a few more years of college. You can just blindly deploy updates, assume everybody uses the communicated backup plan and put the full blame on the lawyers if they get hacked because they use a crappy password. Sysadmin heaven!
Just wanted to say after trying out a few searches how blown away I am by this.

The level of understanding is indeed not there yet to rival directly with competitors, but you’re doing more than a decent job on a lot of requests which is no small feat looking at the competition.

Wishing you luck, and curious to see it evolve!
It's one thing to do something completely counter productive like using gasoline powered drones to unload/load your electric ship. It's another to assume that the same capability can even be offered by electric drones.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with port cranes.
Apollo Constellation Engine designed their propulsion systems for mega constellations to use mercury, which is what got PEER involved in this. Popular Mechanics also reported on their plans. Even if Apollo changed their minds since, that's a pretty significant 'near miss'.

Political/funding decisions are part of the mix, but I don't think the daylight between highly funded and underfunded amounts to fundamental difference.

Courts are extremely costly and/or low throughput. The vast majority of legal resolutions happen outside of courts, whether or not they even touch a court along the way.

It just is not designed for efficiency. Court systems are designed to embody legal ideals (and imo myths) of justice, that may be pretty far from common sense ideals.

We basically can't have a decent court system unless appealing to it is extremely rare. This is the nature of the legal system, not a consequence of details like funding.
I don't have the energy to go through slides ... Altleast without knowing the author first. The first slide literally says, "serial entrepreneur (first startup)". This kinda lowered her authority for me. Then I googled her.

From her wikipedia page, "
She has been called a 'pioneer in online marketing and one of the most respected authorities on online communities'". Ummm okay....

The wikipedia is brief. Yet it referenced her YouTube page which is small and inactive. The wikipedia page uses phrases like coined a movement, one of the most influential women in tech, lead their marketing efforts, one of the lead bloggers on the popular Canadian online portal, etc.

I still don't know who she is, don't even care to know that at this point. Her wikipedia page was written like a linkedIn bio. Please give her wiki page a read than tell me if I am over-reacting.

I read an epigram by Martial when I was at school, it translated to:

You shave your head to conceal your baldness. How will you conceal your impotence?
It's much more harmful to obsess over the optics of something potentially offensive at the expense of reality. None of the excuses you listed hold any ground.

Time: it costs about 20 minutes to cook a simple, basic fresh meal. With a single weekly groceries delivery (or visit to the store), you're covered for some 5-6 main meals as well as breakfast and lunch. Are you telling me Americans don't have 20 minutes to prepare a meal yet do have that time, or more, to eat out? I've been home cooking 6 days a week for 2 decades. It costs LESS time, not more.

The average American watches over 3 hours of TV, or TV-like experiences in their leisure time, but they don't have 20 mins to cook a meal? I guess they all get home from work and fall asleep?

Costs: Rice, potatos, bread, vegetables and lean meats...please do the math for me how this is unaffordable? They are incredibly cheap commodities.

"Most people in the US live in poverty".

Now they do not. The US is in the top 5 of median incomes worldwide, one of the richest countries in the world. If you dismiss Luxembourg and UAE, the USA is in the top 3. It's not a monetary issue.

Further, 12 hour work days are an anomaly, not a standard. And even 12 hours is not an excuse. Exercise isn't the core of the issue, junk food is.

Time needed to educate on nutrition: your parents or school should have done that, but here goes: don't eat garbage. Cut down on fats, sugars. Education completed. But it's not an educational issue as the person sitting in McDonalds knows exactly what's up.

It most definitely is a willpower issue as every other excuse does not hold ground. People in other countries have less time and less money, and still don't have this issue at this scale.

Please know that this is a not a burn at obese people, I fully sympathize with the difficulty of lifestyle changes, even more so in a culture like the US where the environment seems stacked up against healthy eating.

But we need to attempt to come to real and realistic root causes, and time and money are not the core issues. It creates this illusion that if only economic conditions would improve, we'd all be eating healthier, which is false.

The issue is cultural.
> However, some colleagues have the opinion that those conflicts are trivially resolved by rebuilding and thus don’t matter

This is how mistakes happen, and when dealing with things like serialisation is an absolute _minefield_

> nd having diffs of the generated code show up in pull requests adds value.

They do have a point here, but is there a reason that the generated code diff couldn't be done separately to being commited?

> What do others think, check in generated code or put it in gitignore?

Always ignored, no questions asked. Generated code is a build artifact, the same way an object file or a jar is. It just happens to be human readable.

Your build system should be 100% bulletproof and pick up changes to your input files and correctly regenerate the output files for you, anything less should be considered a p0 bugfix. If you need to cache these files for whatever reason, do so at a different level (sccache/container/whatever).
