Not quite. From the incredible Skunk Works:

"Ufimtsev has shown us how to create computer software to accurately calculate the radar cross section of a given configuration, as long as it's in two dimensions," Denys told me. "We can break down an airplane into thousands of flat triangular shapes, add up their individual radar signatures, and get a precise total of the radar cross section."

Why only two dimensions and why only flat plates? Simply because, as Denys later noted, it was 1975 and computers weren't yet sufficiently powerful in storage and memory capacity to allow for three-dimensional designs, or rounded shapes, which demanded enormous numbers of additional calculations. The new gneeration of supercomputers, which can compute a billion bits of information in a second is the reason why the B-2 bomber, with it's rounded surfaces, was designed entirely by computer computations.

Denys's idea was to compute the radar cross section of an airplane by dividiing it into a series of flat triangles. Each triangle had three separate points and required individual calculations for each point by utilizing Ufimtsev's calculations. The result was called "faceting"--creating a three-dimensional airplane design out of a collection of flat sheets or panels, similar to cutting a diamond into sharp-edged slices.
Honestly I prefer Apple Maps over Google these days. This is mostly opinion and feel, but it "feels" like:

* Google is becoming less correct

- ex: "use the right 3 lanes" when only the right 2 lanes work

* Google is taking me on routes that are much less safe and more challenging

- ex: taking small side roads to a left turn onto a busy road with poor visibility and no light rather than right turns to the main road and signaled lefts

* Google is hammering me with unimportant details

- ex: I don't care that I'm on the fastest route

- ex: I don't care that something 4 hours away has a traffic jam

- ex: I don't need to be told to stay on just because an exit ramp has a disappearing lane

* Google tries to send me on wild boondoggles literally all the time. It sends me off highway in an attempt to avoid traffic, along with several other poor lost souls who are aimlessly listening to the same computer as me while we drive through some rural thru street.

So I stopped using google. Apple isn't perfect but it's unsurprising for long road trips and provides reliable instruction that follows major road paths.

> 2) no one spends BTC

I'm awfully tired of these completely misinformed blog posts that seem to reflect HN's collective delusion about bitcoin. I don't know about US, but the whole drug trade, from the largest transactions to street level, have transitioned to crypto in Eastern Europe and at least few Middle Eastern countries. More and more of my friends who have never been interested in crypto as a ponzi scheme are using USDT to send and receive money across borders as their banks are hit with sanctions.

If you don't see something, it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.
I am surprised there was opposition given the by then decades of deployment of targeting computers for the canon.

OTOH there was a lot of resistance to radio connection, as many captains felt it diminished their autonomy.

What’s fascinating about the latter that appears right now is that the US military did retain autonomy in the ranks while deploying radio communication. By contrast the USSR used it to reinforce top-down decision making. We can see the contrast in Ukraine today.
As I said, I’m sorry this upsetting to you, but I’m not here to be a sounding board for your empty frustrations.

By dumping all their portfolio, they avoided the margin call which would have destroyed the company. Their early and bold actions saved the firm. Sadly for the folks on the other end of the trades, it probably crushed them.

Margin call is by far the best movie about the financial crisis of 2008 that I've ever seen. I was working in the biz at that time and it all just rang so true. 7 AM pre-market meetings, lots of folks crunching data, Wall Street people actually living in Brooklyn and so much more.

Sadly, the movie is so esoteric that it never had a mainstream success. Such a shame because it had great actors and a fantastic script.
I used Apple Maps Navigation a few minutes ago because I was to lazy to enter the destination in the car navigation system. And so I got really annoyed of Apple since all directions were 200m to late. I really like the feature where the phone remembers the position of the parked car.

It would be nice if I could send the destination from phone to car in a simple way (no route, just the destination), but this might only work with really new cars.

I've worked on large monoliths (100k LoC is not "large") and have a strong preference for them because I've also worked on large microservice architectures. A monolith with a strong architecture and development process works well. Microservice architectures are often a fig leaf for poor architecture and development process, while introducing new problems and increasing development effort. It is always less expensive in the long run to fix the architecture and process problems than to sweep them under the rug with microservices.

I understand that microservices often become necessary in organizations when they are constitutionally incapable of addressing the root issues directly. But we shouldn't normalize introducing microservices so that we can ignore poor architecture and process, which underlies the majority of cases I see.

> Was Goldman underwriting the formation of new SPACs when those SPACs are initially collecting money?

SPACs are chock full of fees to Wall Street.

When the SPAC goes public, it pays an IPO fee. The bank, having to comply with fewer regulations than in a traditional IPO, makes a healthy profit. When the SPAC negotiates a merger it pays M&A fees. When shareholders are presented with the merger and asked to vote that comes with a fee. If there is a PIPE, there are, of course, more fees.

Later, when the sponsors sell their stock, there will be brokerage fees for the block trade. And I assume, in the final stage of a SPAC’s lifecycle, there will be de-listing, liquidation and/or distressed debt fees.
Nothing's wrong with it, unless you prefer alt-tab to switch windows. I personally prefer to choose my own adventure.

Apart from your point being a complete non-sequitur (an example doesn't prove anything), you ought to look at the history of IG Farben (aka Bayer, BASF and other). Or how privatisation is getting to the carceral industry (thank you USA for giving the world the signal that this is the way to go). Or how Total and others high-stakes companies are mixed up with private mercenaries and dealing with terrorists in the middle east. Or how child labour is conveniently hidden behind layers of subcontracting in the electronic and fashion industry.

Private companies are all over the place in the facist avant-garde (and this is very relevant today).

At least i can vote, inquiry and have theoretically have some means of insight and control into my state, because afaik i don't have these powers, not even in theory, for private megacorps (which in fact have quite much in common with states).

Dunno about NICs, but there's a fair number of x86 motherboards with 4x i225 that support 2.5G. Apparently the rev 1 and rev 2 are fairly broken, but rev 3 is shipping in various small widgets that are useful for routers, firewalls, etc.

I can back up the magnesium theory. Started pounding the stuff (100% chelated) a few years ago after reading about how many processes it's involved in and how little of it we actually get in our diets, and it was a game-changer. B12 also made a huge difference, even though I'm not vegetarian.

Would disagree that it's enough to eat a healthy diet. Our bodies evolved to eat an absurdly broad diet that provided countless nutrients that are hard to get today, even if you eat a local, organic, plant-based diet (which I do not).
> people in prison should be protected from other people in prison

I strongly agree; if you deprive someone of their liberty, then you take on the responsibility of protecting them - because you've deprived them of the ability to protect themselves.

I'm not aware of any prison regime that takes the safety of prisoners as a key objective. [Edit] Nor do I know of a state that handles the deliberate negligence of prisoner welfare as a criminal offence.
I recently found an old app called Snap which automatically assigns apps to Cmd + number depending on their order in the dock (or you can manually assign them).

I have Chrome as the first app in the dock, so it's Cmd+1. Slack is second and is Cmd+2.

It's so simple. I love it. I tried to achieve the same with Automator but it was unreliable.

Command-` does this natively: cycle through windows of the active application. Note that on an ANSI keyboard backtick is right above Tab so it makes sense from a layout perspective.
Engineering might be easier, the user experience is magnitudes worse than a decade ago, pretty much universally.

This is just because you didn't watch Fox. Fox and Limbaugh had been milking the idea that news should be about invoking outrage and gaslighting for a very long time. MSNBC copied the model starting about 2010, and then every single news outlet realized it was the best business model by the time Trump came into office.

I don't think there's a particular left/right/whatever bent to running this business model. It's just that there isn't a lot of news that engages people in this world, so you cannot sustain a 24/7 media empire unless you wrap them up in a conspiracy or create a false narrative that there's some evil group that their news is fighting against with the truth. Then, all of a sudden, some random person's Tweet about mixed sex bathrooms becomes an hour's worth of news to engage people with.
Eh, kinda. While most noise from a jet engine at the ground comes from the shear forces from the fast moving compressed exhaust stream interacting with slow moving surrounding air, the engine itself isn’t quiet.

Even in situations where you don’t get that exhaust stream, (such as helicopter turbines spinning up with the clutch out), they’re very loud. Hearing protection required loud.

And very little of a rotary planes noise is coming from airflow or from the prop directly, most of it is coming from the engine itself. At best at least half.

Presumably an ionic drive couldn’t create the pressure differential levels of a jet engine, or probably even a prop, so they’d have relative large, relatively slow moving masses of air to work. So noise should be a lot lower from that, and also from lack of a internal combustion or turbine engine screaming it’s hardest.
Yes, they are, but not vastly. Air travel is still a small fraction of the average westerner's carbon footprint.

So the author registered this "webtwoboomer.com" domain and says their mission is "Poisoning my brain with web3 so you don’t have to." Skepticism is fine, but the bias is cringe.

I don't see the value in this biased blog.

I am having trouble following your line of thinking. You're saying that because rape is common in mens' prisons* we should not be concerned about putting males in women's prisons? Wouldn't it make more sense to say "men rape in mens prisons, so women's concerns about being housed with males is reasonable"?

In any event, I still don't see how any of this justifies keeping this whole topic in the shadows and making public discourse impossible by keeping the scope of the question secret from the public.

I spend most of my time writing C for embedded systems. You should focus first on making life easy for the people reading your code. Use `% 2` and `* 4` when those are the things you mean, rather than `& 1` and `<< 2`. Compilers have been able to do those strength reductions on their own for years, and in most cases even if the compiler didn't, the cycles you'd save aren't worth it.
I feel like I am going absolutely nuts reading this thread. 10K LoC is 2-3 months of work for a single person hobby project. 100K LoC is maybe a 2-3 person dev team for 2 years. That's assuming a refactored codebase with no copy-paste repetition. "Append only" codebases with heavy copy-pasting can easily get larger than that in shorter amounts of time.

Huge teams and decades of time gets you to 1M+ range, not the 100K+ range.
Did you read your own link? It supports my claim that a majority of the people on the other side of the issue (white evangelicals, who are btw the majority sect in America) oppose abortion in all cases.
> I had not considered the way crypto/nfts have been commandeered to be a side effect of wealth not being able to be allocated fully anymore.

If I point out that Marxist economic theory talks about a "crisis of capital accumulation" where capitalists (meaning those with capital to invest) don't have enough places to invest their capital succesfully, and that this is related to "financialization" as a method of opening new places to put capital (also in some circumstances "imperialism"), and that in different periods this can go up and down... in the past I usually get down-voted.

Oddly specific title. Another 2012 laptop-at-home hoster reporting in, AMA I guess! I didn't have any thermal/fan issues the way OP described, but my laptop is also more powerful (Asus rather than a ThinkPad) so it was presumably just made to handle more heat.

This was an upgrade in 2019 from an Asus EEE box which had similar power requirements, which was an upgrade in 2013 from a 2001 laptop.

Whether this works for you all depends on your goals, or more and more often, what software you use to achieve these goals:

- Compiling huge software suites like an OS or Firefox as a service is just too heavy.

- Average company website, personal blog, torrent host, personal vpn server, Factorio server, mail server, git server (gitea), and more all at once? Perfectly fine, that's exactly what I do.

- Single gitlab service? Oof, that's on the edge of minimum requirements https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/install/requirements.html , but should work okay if you don't have too many users.
This app is designed to give you Windows-style switching. MacOS is app-centric, so you have to switch to an app and then switch through the windows of the app. Windows has a unified window stack so Alt-Tab always takes you to the previous window, regardless of what app is responsible for that window. Repeated uses Alt-Tab takes you back through your most recently used windows, regardless of the Apps involved.
I wish there was an actually good openstreetmap client with some kind of usable review integration. Nothing beats google maps reviews. Also all companies are usually most-up-to date in google maps. But the openstreetmap data, for me it's way ahead of anyone.
The "street view" implementation in Apple Maps is amazing. I really recommend you try it if you have an iPhone, the 3D sensation is far superior to Google Maps street view which feels very flat after using Apple Maps.
I’m in this camp, I try to use Apple Maps for navigation when I’m driving now. Much better in SF/the bay

which one and how would that play out

if there is no logo or phrase in the picture, then it couldn't be a trademark infringement. and even if there was I would have to look at it case by case, with many cases I don't think it would be applicable. the consumer has to discern with the features that the blockchain provides. if there is a valid consumer protection issue thats with the marketplaces and wallets UI. the lister doesn't have to misrepresent anything if the consumer is buying by looking at pictures alone. and the lister could likely make a compliant and accurate name.

This is a lot of whiplash in regards to discussing size.

I just want to say...

100K DAU with a PHP/MySQL monolith is 100% possible - I'm certain a lot of people here have achieved this without much problem. Things like Nginx, PHP-FPM, reverse-proxy-caching, load balancing to stateless application servers, read replica, offloading static assets to CDN, blah blah... I digress but you can 100% hit 100K DAU with a traditional PHP/MySQL monolith.
