When close to the ground, something flying at Mach 10-20 would either be deccelerated very quickly to much lower speeds, if flying passively, or require a very large mass of fuel to maintain the speed.

Moreover, it would be hard to avoid being partially vaporized before reaching the target. So hitting something at Mach 10-20 seems much more difficult than filling the missile with explosives and detonating it.

Weapons based on kinetic energy alone seem practical only against satellites or against targets that fly in the upper atmosphere.
So it sounds like one of the advantages of the Zed ecosystem is that its data can go into three file formats (zson, zng, zst), each designed for a specific use case, and convert between them easily and without loss.

And it seems like the newer "zed lake" format is like a large blob managed by a server. Can you also convert data to and from and the file formats to the lake format? What is the lake's main use case?
You can in fact have that magical time-travel approach to get apparent latency lower than the real number. Keep a history of the game state at every tick, so you can roll back to any previous instant. If real latency from one client is 50 ms, and you're targeting 35 ms, you roll back the game state by 15 ms each time input comes in from that client, and re-run the game logic from that point forwards and send the resulting state update to all clients. Those clients will see a bit of jumpiness in the game state, which isn't ideal, but may be the lesser evil compared to enduring more latency.

> He was probably using software, like Canon's Webcam Utility, to stream his camera's HDMI OUT to his computer instead of using a capture card.

No, he was using an HDMI capture card and trying to do things with OBS.

> Startup takes me, like, 30 seconds: turn key and fill lights on, turn camera on, press hotkey to start OBS, Krisp and Zoom, turn on video.

Which is all great and fine if you've got it perfected and you're the type of person to handle all of this before the meeting starts.

But when someone shows up late to a meeting or forgets to prepare, it's far easier for everyone involve if they can just open their laptop and join the meeting with the built-in webcam instead of turning on their camera, turning on lights, starting OBS, confirming all the settings, etc.

Not a lie, but it was a simplification of a nuanced fact that I used for the sake of brevity and quippyness.

So, for actual factual nuanced details, it depends on where you are and what you're specifically talking about. E.g. in canada it was 1964 when women became legally entitled to open a bank account without their husband’s signature.

I can't find a specific date that women were able to access basic non-credit banking services without a cosigner everywhere in the US. It happened in California in the 1800s, but there seem to have been significant obstacles for women accessing banking tools up until some time in the 1960s - without a legal requirement, it's up to the individual banks, some would have been easier than others.

The 1970s bit was a reference to the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, passed in 1974 - “Prior to the law, for car loans or financial transactions, a woman was expected to have someone — a father or husband, typically a male — co-sign for that transaction,”

So yes, what I said was only true about access to credit-baring accounts, not all accounts. But before you dismiss how that would have impacted the presence of women on corporate boards - it was 1988 when the Women's Business Ownership Act of 1988 passed and put an end to state laws that required women to have male relatives sign business loans.

So yeah, the reality is both better than what I said, and worse than what I said.

Envy, as I stated, is just an emotion. What the person does with it is where the moral and ethical sides come into play.

If it pushes me to do better in my life, I'll almost certainly mature past that emotion.

Someone else mentioned meditation and I heartily agree, mindset is how you approach the emotions.

Arrow has union types (as well as structs and dictionary types). Parquet doesn't but I think it has an intentionally shallow types system to allow flexibility in encoding. Basically everything is either a numeric or binary and the logical type for binary columns is defined in metadata. So you can use, for instance, Arrow as the encoding.

Agreed. Managing an on-going domestic terrorism incident is part of Twitter's business so it's a fair question to Musk. I do think, based on the authors approach, that no matter the answer he gave they'd have something negative to say about it. I don't think it's worth giving a megaphone to those who are opportunistically trying to lay landmines rather than promote healthy discussion; I say this in the light that there are a lot of Twitter users who just don't want Musk to own Twitter though they seem unable to explain why beyond a myriad of supposition.

Sometimes the above involves signing a NDA with companies like Broadcom so they can't release useful documentation without having a lawyer go over it first, and nobody wants to bother with that. Even worse, they can't release the code and have to release a giant poorly documented and buggy binary blob to support things like 3D acceleration and video decoding.

> What if shortfings tend to be drastically taller

What does it mean for shortfings to be dramatically taller? Are you saying that shortfings must transmit height along with finger length; some sort of race invariance? Or are you saying that most shortfings you meet are also tall?

If a black person is a pale as a white person, they're still considered black (and may share many other characteristics that many black people have.) If some of your shortfings have long fingers, does the distinction still make sense as a scientific category?

> the longfings are complaining that they're overrepresented in jumpball?

Is admission to jumpball determined by finger measuring, or through social factors?

Over-hyped I think. Sure the kinetic energy is incredible, but what of the terminal ballistics? I think these would have substantial over-penetration against anything except deep bunkers; most of that kinetic energy would be spent driving that rod through bedrock, like an APFSDS dart shot into tank armor. Good for punching holes in things.

The "get them to" part is the killer. I was easily frustrated as a kid and quit a lot of things in hindsight that I wish I stuck with. You never realize that time now is an investment for later, or that learning curves are different for everyone as a kid. I think that environment where you are in a cohort as a kid can be challenging too. If you see a few people in your class who are really good at something and you are struggling, that kills your confidence, and you will probably quit before actually putting in the work you need to get yourself to that same level and just assume it will always be impossible for you. As an adult now I see a lot of my peers still with this mentality and they drop new hobbies fast. Life is a slow march though and you shouldn't hold yourself to the standards of others, but that's a lifelong lesson that even 35 year olds are learning, and not something you can easily tell a 5 year old.

Of course, if you push too hard the other way, your kid may just hate the skill and drop it. I knew a lot of people who were forced into piano lessons, and got very good at it too. Many quit over the years due to that resentment once their parents gave them the choice, and today never play any music in adulthood. Such a shame.

Did this out of boredom (and inability to use my photo equipment as intended in the travel restriction years). My setup was a Nikon Z6II with a 50mm f/1.8 glass, plugged via a capture card. It can do a 10hr meeting marathon without overheating while charging via the usb-c. Never crashed but surely a bit of a hassle and costs me a usb c port, since its not reliable when plugged to the dock (go figure).

Agree with the others, it makes no difference. The only people likely to notice are other geeks. I look like a freshly excavated potato when shot with the webcam, and a slightly more favourably lit potato with the Z6Ii, good glass and diffused lighting.

But hey, people have stupid hobbies, thats ok as long as it reliably works.

It looks like Nikon supports this functionality[0] through their "Nikon Webcam Utility"[1].

Z 9, Z 7II, Z 7, Z 6II, Z 6, Z 5, Z fc, Z 50, D6, D5, D850, D810, D780, D750, D500, D7500, D7200, D5600, D5500, D5300 and D3500.

I think the Z 50 (and updated, but cheaper construction Z fc) are the cheapest options here out of the mirrorless cameras.

The way you are using the pronouns "we", "he", "our", and "I" in your text could hint at an underlying personal issue. I.e. you don't like this guy and perhaps feel threatened by him. "we know that", "we are certainly open for suggestions", "we think"... Is that a royal we or do you really know what everyone else in your team thinks? :) Also, unless you own the company, it is not "our codebase", it is "the company's codebase". Also, the answer to your question is to tell the guy to go ahead and commit his suggestions.

Twitter execs suddenly have a higher chance of going to jail for fraud.

If twitter is sued by shareholders and audited by a third party, it could end up as anything.

An audit could find that 5% is correct.

But what if audit has a different conclusion and, say, it is actually 15%? If I was an exec, I wouldn't want to find out nor be a part of any discussion internally how accurate the 5% number is.

This might mean twitter has been misleading shareholders for years.

So in other words, you just want to use a standardized legal template?

Yes, you can do that. People have been doing that for decades. Pretty much every major lease or purchase agreement you or your parents have made in the past 4 or 5 decades has used a standardized legal template.

Note that these templates have the variable fields in-line; if you want to do it as a separate document as proposed, you would need to do that as an attachment or exhibit to the original underlying contract. The former is generally required for contracts between businesses and individuals; the latter is uncommon but is used for B2B contracts.

Generally, if there is a significant amount of conditional logic, you would need/want to split that out as a separate (possibly standardized) contract addressing those particular logical conditions. But note that plenty of standardized contracts have conditional blocks that affect the selection of a particular term of the contract (i.e., amount of monthly payment, points paid, choice of extended warranty, etc.).

I think this is not exactly what GP was talking about. These are normal phones with an expensive marketing gimmick.

The "RED Hydrogen One," by that fancy camera company is closer I think. At least it had some story that could hypothetically have ended with a compelling technological reason for it to exist (RED is supposed to know cameras). Although, it didn't seem to work out either, but with a sample size of 1 it could be a fluke of poor execution.

well adjusting the latency is the easy part.
doing it in real time while observing the connection and making adjustments, that is when it becomes hard.

and they did it basically after the network stack, so if a paket took 40ms they added no latency if it took 20ms they added 15ms and so on.

so EACH paket was evaluated and of course this is not an easy feat, because lol is serverside authoritive so the latency must be correct inside the server and the client for each packet.

I agree! This is similar to the argument that eventually convinced me, back when I was anti-abortion. But it was still a shaky belief, because "can you kill a person in this situation" is inherently a harder question than "can you kill a non-person". (I've since gone further and no longer believe fetuses are people, no need to convince me here.)

Framing this as "privacy" makes no sense.

Framing it as "choice" can be coherent if you express it this well, but most people don't.

(I think I weakened my own argument here by including that sentence, but too late to edit it now. What I was trying to express is that this isn't actually a sexism thing: I have no trouble imagining these people applying the same standard to men in a world where any human could get pregnant.)
