In the F/A-18 we had a selector that you could set to "both" or "rear only" exactly for this type of scenario. Qualified NFO in the backseat, you want both, and I know people who's lives were saved crashing off the carrier. But for a ride along, "rear only" is definitely the correct setting. And I'm pretty sure this has happened before, remember stories from years ago.

Talks I’ve Enjoyed
https://techyaks.com is great but it hasn’t been updated in a few years and I felt it was very hit or miss, so I made this page. My last manager recommended I spend some of my time watching conference talks, and I’m glad I have been. I’ve learned a lot from the videos linked.
There's not much in this article, but I think it goes beyond being cheap. If your local area Walmart has obliterated all competition and you simply want to go to NOT WALMART. These rapidly expanding chains offer some form of alternative that's smaller and easier to navigate.

Last time I visited an Aldi the line was to the back of the store since they historically only have one lane open with two employees in the building at a time(cost savings measure). To the customers there this did not matter, it was not Walmart and was the only other food store within proximity of their home.

Because salmon is way cheaper. A piece of cheap salmon sushi can be bought for like US$4 per 10 in Hong Kong
That is not a higher grade of salmon. You should not be eating that. Domestic Japanese Salmon has parasites in it. Just no.
Personally I wish they would move some escape analysis to compile time just to help with memory consumption. I’m assuming it would require byte code changes though.

I did some quick lookups from BLS and other salary sources for my (mid sized southern US MSA) sometime back and yeah the median and mean wages for a lot of skilled labor and trade positions are pretty damn close to what a lot of clerical type office jobs were paying.

I don't know of people saying that he had "no possible way" to finance a deal.

Quoting the excellent Matt Levine, the situation is more like the following: '''the answer to the question “might Elon Musk have made an offer to take a large public company private, at a cost of tens of billions of dollars, without giving any real thought to where the money would come from?” is “absolutely yes, and he’s done it before.”'''
What do you think about the author's opinion on focusing on integration tests? I am a relatively young developer and face a lot of backlash at my workplace when I prefer writing integration tests to unit tests. Our components have hundreds of unit tests, but things break because the data quality of connected systems is so poor. I always think, you could make most of these problems visible and communicate them to other teams in advance with just sending masses of data sets through the system using automated integration tests. But instead, we spend our time writing unit tests on our poor assumptions and fighting the mess in production.
In the end it’s no different from preserving groceries by putting them into the fridge. Typically chemical reactions happen slower in lower temperatures, often exponentially slower. Damage can only occur at a rate constrained by chemistry.
Ask HN: Appimage Linux Distribution
I'm curious to know if exists a Linux distribution heavily based on appimages. Or at least a way to configure a distribution to use appimages repository for installing software.
That's an advantage of it, but I sort of expect it wouldn't be that popular with companies if it lead to people taking significantly more time off.

Salmon is not loved in Japan. It’s mostly American sushi restaurants due to more fatty taste and familiarity. It is also largely due to Moonies and the fact that salmon was easy to source in the US.
Not everyone likes the same stuff! I also generally prefer salmon to tuna though I appreciate a chu-toro from time to time. For melt in mouth, uni takes the crown (otters again demonstrating they have life figured out better than people)
Perhaps the FSF could work on some sort of open patent license that says if you use this patent in an invention you are not allowed to use it with any other unexpired patent unless it is also under the same license. That way, a culture of open source could be created in the non-software world that would move innovation into the private sector and out of academia by letting private companies more easily share their engineering with each other.
We simply have a different perspective on this. You see a TUI and have experience in the "Bronze Age" of the Internet in which browsers were not so stable across platforms/etc. and think that this more or less just doesn't work. I suspect peoples' experiences using it for a while now won't sway you; you are more than welcome to assume everything works only on one computer and is reliably broken elsewhere. I don't care what you choose to build your company with but I personally find this attitude towards new tools toxic and paralyzing. Hence my attempt at engaging to learn more.

From my perspective, I've used Rich in one of the very few contexts that practically matter (a terminal on macOS) and had a good experience. Will M. has been developing it in the open for a couple of years now and it's nearing critical mass in some parts of the Python ecosystem. If it was a diaper turned into a Molotov cocktail, it simply wouldn't the adoption it has so far. It probably runs fine on the three major operating systems of today, which is pretty much what a TUI needs to do. I have no idea if it runs smoothly on a Commodore 64 and to be honest I don't really care.

> Perhaps you'll be able to point me to what I missed.

You could have a look at Rich itself, which is what Textualize uses: https://github.com/Textualize/rich. I don't build UIs but the number of files/LOC gives me a bit more confidence that my personal experience wasn't a fluke.

The UK's ICO took a different stance[0] when the Washington Post tried to do this a few years back. For companies that want to do business in the UK, it probably makes sense to follow that more conservative decision.

The decision that you link also seems very much at-odds with the text of the GDPR (in both the German and English versions):

> (42) Consent should not be regarded as freely given if the data subject has no genuine or free choice or is unable to refuse or withdraw consent without detriment.

Interestingly, the decision that you linked prefers to rely on the case law of the data protection authority when interpreting the question of consent, in particular referring to rulings that predate the GDPR, despite its refinement of the concept of consent. It also focuses upon 'wesentlicher Nachteil' (significant detriment) where the original text of the GDPR prohibits just 'Nachteil' detriment. I find these choices rather suspicious, and wouldn't be comfortable with relying on them holding if challenged in other EU states.

As someone who lives in Japan happy to say that you’re wrong and sushi places both cheap and expensive serve salmon all the time, and Japanese people order them all the time.
A 22kb fixed size reads like transparent bullshit to me. Fundamentally you cannot store infinite information within such a block, and "participant X has the right to send Y amount" is information. To me this implies that either there is a limit to the number of participants, that there is information stored off-chain, or that there will be data loss over time - possibly all three.

And the fact that you've mentioned one cryptocurrency to fix the transaction rate issue, and another to fix the blockchain size issue, but not one to fix both issues at the same time, has not escaped me.
Over the years, it’s really only been a small number of people who constantly push for promotion without stepping up their own game. Their failures are often an inability to finish tasks. Or they ask for more challenging work (e.g., singing up to kick off and lead a new project we all want to see happen) and then they just fizzle out.

Their frustration (and “bewilderment”) stems from the gap in what they want to accomplish versus what they’re able to accomplish at this point in their career. They reject the feedback that they're not performing at the next career level, because from their POV, they're working hard and feel that their own results and deliverables are the max a person can achieve.

While this certainly could be attributed to a communication failure on the manager's part, my experience (and my POV as manager) is that it rather reflects on the individual engineers themselves -- some just naturally get a ton of shit done, some are able to push themselves and grow, and others struggle to grow despite the effort they put in and despite my attempts to coach them.

I never understood Aldi. Maybe I've just got a bad Aldi, but I was the opposite of amazed when one opened near me. I don't know what people are raving about. Yeah, it's cheap... and it's cheap. Not bad or anything, but the hype seems odd to me.

Whereas Trader Joe's is relatively inexpensive in contrast with the competition, and the quality is really good.

I've really taken a liking to Grocery Outlet, which is a grocery store chain where a lot of overstock and discontinued items end up, but it's far better then 99 Cents Only. Their wine selection is pretty good as well. I find a lot of the same stuff there I used to buy at Von's and Ralph's for a significant amount less. These days I'm shopping primarily between Grocery Outlet and Trader Joe's, and sometimes at Sprouts.
It is also a simplification to highlight his achievements without also acknowledging that he doesn’t seem to be a very moral or stable person. Some of the criticism of his behavior is clearly sour grapes that he doesn’t act “properly” for a billionaire, but there are also many examples of him being a bad person a la Steve Jobs.

We tolerate the characteristics because of the perceived value, but it would also be nice to highlight genuinely good people with significant accomplishments for being successful as well as kind.

Idk. There's a sweet spot when it comes to novelty and funding, and I'm not sure it's always where it should be. I also think there's a certain relativism about novelty, in that what is novel in a subfield might look pretty conservative to an outsider.

All these studies of grants etc are overshadowed by this problem, which is that they typically use citations etc as some kind of metric of quality. The problem with that, in turn, is that over a reasonable study span, variation in those citations is going to be driven by self-seeking behavior. That is, what's popular is what's funded, but also what's cited. There's a certain bias in it, in that you don't learn about the novel studies that never were studied due to being too novel, and the truly paradigm shifting papers, which are cited at high rates, are kinda washed out by the hundreds or thousands of papers that just kinda creep along.

It's difficult for me to put into words what's on my mind. But when I think of colleagues who are well funded, even those I consider friends and people I respect, I don't think of their work as being innovative. It's very much in the status quo. Very technically well done, but basically data generating machines within a status quo paradigm.

The things that shake things up tend to come from elsewhere, from industry or accidents or secondary reanalysis of old data, or things that get funded off of miscellaneous sources scrounged together. It's as if true innovation happens regardless of grants, or in spite of it, and after everyone agrees it's the accepted thing, then it gets funded, after the fact.
I agree that Americans love Trader Joe's, but I would by no means consider it to be a cheap grocery store.
All salmon, when consumed raw, potentially have parasites. The trick to killing them is storing the fish at far below zero for a week or cooking them

This is pretty much just how regulated industries work. One jerk does something shady or dangerous and then everyone else has to do extra paperwork and inspections in order to prove they aren't doing shady or dangerous things too. It isn't the regulator's fault; it's the jerk's fault.
Most people's deps are older than that. And vast swathes of easy-to-use open-source web infra has non-GDPR-compliant defaults.
> Aldi Nord also operates Lidl stores in the US.

That would be fascinating because they’re fierce competitors in Germany. However I couldn’t find a source for this to be true. Instead I found a few articles about Lidl opening a US headquarter[0] and having their own distribution centers.

Even since having tried raw tuna, my personal opinion has been the reverse.

For me, a nice raw tuna can be absolutely amazing.

It doesn't always require expanding the scope of work, but very often does. I even suggested a few situations where it doesn't, but in many cases fixing the true underlying problem involves expanding the scope of work.

It's hard to argue the nitty gritty without examples so here's a real world one from quite a long time ago, in a company that went bust after the death of the owner.

--

We had a system that had a significant quantity of code written in a custom language that would be compiled by an internally written compiler. This compiler was in some ways a work of genius, written in the 80s, but it had a lot of very deep architectural flaws in the optimiser that meant certain patterns of code would generate invalid output. We didn't write much new code in this language but had a pretty large body of code that needed to continue running.

So during a server hardware refresh, we found that almost everything was crashing. Turns out, a compiler optimiser flaw meant that any time a loop had a number of iterations that wasn't a multiple of the number of CPUs, generated programs would segfault.

We investigated what it would take to fix the underlying issue but it would have been a week or more of work just to understand why it was happening. Porting all the old code would have taken even longer.

Instead what we did was, using a pre-existing AST manipulation library we had written, add a prebuild script that hacked all of the files to include a CPU count check then pad out the number of iterations with NOPs. Took a few hours and unblocked the server upgrade.

--

Another, perhaps less esoteric and more recent example:

A third party open source library we use had an issue where a particular function call would sometimes get stuck in an infinite loop due to incorrect network code in the library interacting badly with our network hardware.

We submitted a bug report and fix, but maintainer wouldn't accept a fix unless we also changed a bunch of other related code, added a bunch of tests etc. which we didn't have time to do. We considered a fork but that would involve keeping it up to date, rebuilding packages and so on.

We worked around the issue by running it in a different process and monitoring CPU usage. If CPU usage goes beyond q certain threshold, we kill the process and try again.

Workaround was quick and has been working fine for over a year now. Contributed patch is still languishing in an open PR with various +1s from other users.
I’m currently visiting Europe over the spring and thus also shopping at a lot of local grocery chains.

From what I can tell, most grocery stores in Scandinavia are pretty close to an American Aldi, but that’s just how they are. Corner store grocery’s are much more popular in cities and the limited space in legacy buildings makes it a requirement to be efficient.

To be honest, I don’t really miss the likes of Target, Walmart, Kroger etc for anything except some product selection. I don’t need 50 types of ketchup to choose from. Store brands are fine. If I want a special thing, I can order it online or go to a specialty store that focuses solely on a specific item or occasion.

I’m also really enjoying how cheap fresh foods are relative to processed food. Instead of chips and candy, I’m buying grapes to snack on in my hotel room. Meat is a bit pricier but not bad when compared to buying a similar amount at a local restaurant. No joke, in Oslo, my wife and I spent $100/day on food eating at counter serve joints and convenience stores. Eating out is insanely expensive in some of these places.

All that to say, I’ll be shopping at Aldi way more when I get back to the states because now I see the appeal in the context of where it was developed. It’s not a perfect system yet but I’m confident they will get there in the next decade.

The legislation doesn’t want to require specific technical implementations. They want to specify the legal requirements as independent as possible from whatever underlying technical mechanisms are used. That makes it more future-proof and at the same time also simpler than having to come up with a technical standard.

It seems like a fair question, though. I did your google search. All of the hits that immediately came up were from sources that clearly have an axe to grind.

In any case, it looks like the law got mostly overturned a couple weeks ago, if I'm reading correctly. I imagine there will be ongoing litigation. Even without "ag gag" legislation, there is no shortage of people who really don't want drones flying around their neighborhoods taking pictures.
