Ok, this is a huge reach, but: with big endian, you can determine the sign of the int at a pointer address without knowing the width of what's pointed at, with little endian, the parity.

It's hard for me to call either of those advantages in anything but the most technical sense, but it's there.
It's company wide - many things which aren't the product still require or affect engineerinig.

I'd bet that almost every company with 40 engineers has 300+ projects. Every company I ever worked at tried to do waaaayyyyy too much at once. It might be the single biggest problem in business. Steve Jobs is lauded for his design skills, but I'd guess it was the focus thing which made the difference. Warren Buffett similar. Bill Gates too. They have all commented on it, and it rings true to anyone who has spent time in a few businesses.
When you say ZIP, do you mean USPS ZIP? USPS ZIP+4? Or non-US postal codes?

You haven't actually answered anything. Sure it's theoretically possible to build a large, fast UCAV with advanced sensors. But it will be nearly as expensive as current manned fighters, and still not very useful at countering small, low-altitude drones.

> I just advised that you should learn to not get so offended because it's pointless, people will think what they think.

Here's the thing: I'm not offended.

If I believe you're acting in good faith, I'm absolutely going to explain to you why you're getting a negative reaction. That's what I did above, which you seemed to have parsed as "taking offense".

If you're not acting in good faith, just tell me what you really are so I can file your opinions where they belong and move on with my day.

One day you're going to be confronted with your "I don't care about the consequences of my actions" attitude in a very personal way, and you're going to think, "Of course I'm not ___ist/______phobic!"

When that finally happens, remember our conversation today, where you took a minority describing how you come across to their peers as them taking offense, and introspect. Maybe you'll learn the lesson I was trying to impart today.

If not, all of this is moot. I don't need your advice, and it's not welcome.

Every model will have some random biases. Some of those random biases will undesirably exaggerate the real world. Every model will undesirably exaggerate something. Therefore no model should be shared.

Despite the poor tone, he has a point. The most difficult part of manual game testing is the sheer boredom of extremely repetitive work.

It’s probably the same reason why the pay for similar positions is historically lower than other industries.

Meanwhile the programming languages and tools we have are not being effectively applied. I expect this to improve as there is convergence of aspects that work well being adopted by more and legacy vestiges that aren't as important as it was when hardware performance was a much greater factor.

The build process uses the tag.

In practice that's a tiny bit more complicated to do it really well, with the version as a dependency in the build process. When developing, you don't want to trigger a full rebuild if the version number changes, but you do have rebuilds to do when it does.

Define “stuff”. And I’m not being pedantic.

I am aware, in passing, of the purity of club drugs. I mean, theoretically. Totally in the abstract, in case you’re a DEA plant.

It heavily depends on what, and where. In my…research…

Street-level opiates? I honestly have no idea, besides what I hear in the media. Not my bag.

Cocaine? It’s rare, but it happens, and it seems to be ramping up in scale, unfortunately. And more realistically, it’s contaminated with significant amounts of filler, including lidocaine to give you that mouth tingle.

Ketamine? Nah. Either pretty darn pure, or just cut with filler. (Well…mostly nah, I am pretty sure a friend got some cut with PCP one time.)

Ecstasy/molly (which is such a semantic jumble): rare, but it happens. But more likely, instead of the MDMA you want, it’s MDA, or some other substituted phenethylamine…or just sucrose as filler, and it does nothing at all.

Other more obscure club drugs, such as the stuff people claim is 2C-B? Rare, but plausible, and there was a rash of that in California recently.

The key is asking "Is there a reasonable chance that this unpleasant task/expensive purchase/other potential PITA will go away if I put it on a list and continue to avoid it?" If the answer if yes, then procrastination can actually be a good thing. Kicking a can down the road can actually be a pretty good strategy.

Otherwise, you might as well bite the bullet, especially if there's some advantage in doing it sooner rather than later.

The "stock market companies" is a fantasy promoted by random people, not SpaceX.

What SpaceX shared is that they plan to be "fiber cable" except via space. They'll carry a backbone traffic e.g. between Australia and U.S. via laser links.

Companies that currently pay for undersea fiber cable to carry traffic will pay Starlink for the same service.

Also, a backhaul for 5G operators (see https://www.telecompetitor.com/starlink-update-musk-sees-mob..., https://www.zdnet.com/article/japanese-telco-kddi-to-use-spa...).

As an aside I used to work at a place with a soda machine that was basically like a slot machine with slightly higher payouts than one in Los Vegas. This was at a grocery warehouse and the drinks were at cost so “losing” your bet cost like a quarter. Probably designed that way, who knows?

I really wonder why they don't introduce new hardware.

I know the system is fairly complex (tons of TI frontends building a big steerable phased array antenna), but the current hardware is awful for RV and really any use. There's a motor-oriented rectangular "dish" with a mandatory 1+ foot mounting arm, which stows in only one vertical orientation. Then, there are proprietary micro-HDMI esque connectors on both ends of a vendor provided fixed-length CAT5e from the dish to the router. For RVs, all of these are awful - the dish can't lie flat and must be brought inside for transit, and wiring is an unnecessary hassle.

As a Starlink user, my take is pretty much that the core technology is revolutionary in specific areas, but the product itself is mediocre in both cost and implementation. I wish they'd "unchain" the system with less bizarre hardware.
> It's really not that expensive to manage 4G towers vs sending up thousands of small sats.

Can you share the pricing details of managing 4G towers vs. Starlink's small sats.

And yes, I fully expect that you have no idea what either of those costs.
Decrim without legalization or free supply to addicts doesn't do a lot for the poverty side of things. People are still going to spend every cent they can scrape together on their drug. We could supply the entire country's heroin/fent supply for probably 1/1000 what the average street user is paying for their doses, and we could prevent overdoses since there would be a chemically pure version of the drug with a labeled dosage available.

Until we, as a society, get over our desire to punish people for getting inebriated, addicts will continue to dwell in abject poverty while funding violent drug distribution organizations. This is a choice that we have made, and we're going to live with the consequences until we reverse course.
Even if ground stations are a bottleneck now, ultimately each cell is served by one satellite and each satellite has finite capacity.
I think they are trying to roll back the quantitative easing (aka unleashing the money printers) that staved off a massive recession right when covid lockdowns began.

The fed blames current inflation rates (the highest they've been since the 70s) on all the extra money that is floating around. It is thought that the weird bull market we saw through the end of 2021 was a result of money having nowhere else to go... so when interest rates get raised suddenly other investment vehicles (like bonds) look more lucrative and that money leaves the stock market.

Question on HP's LVM History (2005)
HAHA russia is "coming soon." thats incredibly optomistic
Ok, I agree there, folks will always be at odds re:personhood and the morality of terminating a pregnancy. That's why I don't even bother with "it's a clump of cells" anymore regardless of my beliefs - it's a moot point in the face of our own rights over our own bodies. Codifying one "person"s rights as more important than another is wrong. Using the law to force anyone to suffer bodily harm for the sake of anyone else, even in a case of life or death, is wrong.

My thing with the hypothetical kid needing a kidney wasn't that a parent refusing to donate would be a good person, it was that by principle of law it would be immoral to force them to do it. That was taking the "pro-life" perspective all the way to "it's a whole-ass person" and showing that the concept of bodily autonomy still protects the parent, even if you don't agree with what they do. I don't mind if you think I'm a monster for getting an abortion, I just want to ensure that that choice is there for those who want or need it.

I get that it's a really intense issue for a lot of people, but all I wish is that folks didn't feel like whether someone else carries their pregnancy to term is a criticism of what they've done or want to do. It's truly not. I know for myself I have a list a mile long of reasons I would never carry or raise a child; some are personal and some aren't, but I am still happy when my loved ones welcome a new member into their family.
Nope. Hbu?
> From my experience, QA, especially game QA is looked down upon by leadership and developers - peers - alike.

If you have a dedicated QA team that is staffed by people who don't write software, those people are at best technicians. They are not peers of the engineers, they're a different job function with a much much lower barrier to entry. They're closer to the customer support team than they are to engineering.

That's not to say that they are somehow undeserving of basic respect. They are (as are support personnel), but given the choice between QA and engineering, almost anyone would choose engineering. The reason QAs aren't on engineering teams is that they can't pass the interviews. The inverse is not true.

None of that is to bash QA. But pretending they're peers of engineering and lamenting that they aren't treated as equals is just based on a fantasy.
Yes.

Plus they'll launch more satellites, build more ground stations, improve the software and potentially also improve the antennas so that they can get more real bandwidth from the same available spectrum.
That doesn't stop it being possibly correct? I think it's as valid an answer as any guess that happens to be about technical detail/implementation.

>I think my point still stands about NFL being all about 'set plays'. NFL is all "set up, set up, set up, RUN, TACKLE, STOP", whereas rugby is more "run run tackle run tackle run tackle stop".

Is your core argument that rugby is safer because the players are more tired at any given point so they don't hit as hard? Other than that, I am struggling to figure out the mechanism between stopping more frequently and football being more dangerous.

>Combine that with the fact when a Rugby player makes an extended run, they aren't often tackled directly head or side-on, it's more perhaps an "anchor" tackle from the back to pull them down. In american football, the safeties and deep players have more opportunity to get head-on with a receiver while the ball is in flight, while a rugby full-back having to watch and run horizontally while the player is running means they are less likely to be directly head-on.

I'd suggest you watch videos like [0] to diligence your claim that head-on tackles aren't common in rugby.

The nuance that you are missing is the power equation - American football's best tacklers focus on short-duration, high-work contact (i.e. maximizing power) to knock an offensive player off their feet [1]. Think of it like placing a nail. You can swing a metal hammer and a rubber mallet (of the same mass) against the same nail and the metal hammer will always drive it better because the dt portion of the power equation (i.e. the denominator) is smaller.

The metaphor extends: rugby players may put in the same amount of work (or more!) on a given tackle, but the dt part of their power equation is much higher than in the NFL because humans are squishy (in practice this is also why you see so much more form tackling in rugby - it's hard to generate enough power to just knock someone over without wearing pads).

Ultimately, high power hits are what cause the rapid, high energy head movements that cause CTE and those are just easier to do in pads.

If there is niche for the virus in the cancer cells then the virus could in theory and adapt as well. It depends on how the virus was constructed.

In addition to directly killing tumor cells, a small number of dead cells could be processed into antigens by a macrophage nearby and presented to a T-cell.

If in some cases the virus can get in to the tumor cell but can't kill it, it's possible the virus can still be detected and presented on MHC Class I (unless it's suppressed) of the tumor cell by neighboring Natural Killer cells.

That's why it's important to reverse the tolerogenic environment that the tumor creates around itself. The viral infection will hopefully go a long way towards waking up the immune system up.
