The US built a couple of very large rigid military airships in the 30s (intended to carry small airplanes!) and then never built any large airships of significance again. So, yeah, kind of a meaningless claim. The proposed airship is 180m long; USS Akron was 239m.

I have heard this kind of stuff for years (going back to early 2000s).

Different ways of dividing your salary by N and then figuring out what you need to offer to get S/N per customer.

Usually if someone is saying stuff like this they have a “solution” to sell you to help you get there. You are now the fan rather than the star.
Newcomers started doing this on twitter for a while and turn social media from platform ads to federation ads network .. it's getting worse, like everybody is literally selling to each other. Remember old "long time no see" friends shown up trying to sell you something? Aghh now everyone pretends to be friend and sell you something.
in which case, the correct behaviour is to not plant peaches! The higher price of peaches _during_ the time when it was 'hyped' is the economically correct response.

For those who don't get the reference, there's a saying along the lines of "During a gold rush, sell shovels", implying that everybody joining the gold rush needs tools to dig, but not everybody who digs will strike gold.

> On average, victims of East German doping die 10 to 12 years earlier than the rest of the population.

While the comparison with the general population is interesting, I would also like to see a comparison with Olympic athletes in general.

To be an Olympics athlete, even without doping, you have to be an outlier physically. In addition, even without doping, there is an intensive training regimen and specialized diet. There is also ultra competitive environment and high stress of competing in front of the whole world and knowing that a fraction of a second may be all the difference between glory winning the gold medal and the obscurity of 4th place. Finally, there is the whiplash where for a few weeks you are the center of attention and then when the Olympics are over, are more or less forgotten, even if you did win the gold.

This environment is pretty likely to have physical and psychological consequences, even apart from the doping, and it would be interesting to see what they are in comparison to doping.
It's cheap and the Germans are always happy for a good deal.

Happy you're sharing this on here, glad to have more options on the table. However I will say GraphJin is not complex to use nor does it have any boilerplate. It's feature rich and hence has knobs to help you tune it to your needs. However it's defaults are well thought out and so should work out of the box in most cases. For example to use GraphJin as a library in your own code this is all it takes.

Here's a quick example of using it as a library in your own code.

A true fan in TFA is willing to spend $1k a year. That’s gotta be way less than 0.1% in terms of social media followers (usually). A friend of mine has close to 3 million social media followers on one platform alone, and the number of “true fans (tm)” paying more than $1k a year is about ten to twenty. Of course it heavily depends on the category, too.
It's not really subtle at all though. It's just that it's been entrenched into "how things are done" to the point where most people don't take a step back to view things objectively, and realise.
No, that's not how it works. The wireless patent holders collect royalties only at the top of the supply-chain (from oems, not suppliers) to maximize their profit. Mediatek and other competing modem chip makers/supply don't pay, but device-makers like Huawei, Samsung, Apple (ie, Foxconn) do.
I think this is more location (country, continent, city) dependent than you think, and you are probably more platform-savvy (being, that you are on HN), than the average person. People generally don't go to ten platforms, if they can get 90% of the way, on a single one.

Then you're also aware that one of the beautiful things of Lisp is how it allows to abstract the hardware beyond the core primitives, there is nothing that prevents an optimizing Lisp compiler to map what looks like lists to vectors at the machine code level.

One reason why such optimization isn't common is most likely due to the current usage of Lisp across the industry, and the commercial implementations being a niche product.

While I'm not very knowledgeable in specifics, there are many paths for networking in Linux now. The usual kernel based one is there, also there's kernel-bypass [0] paths used by very high performance cards.

Also, Infiniband can directly RDMA to and from MPI processes for making "remote memory local", allowing very low latencies and high performance in HPC environments.

I also like this post from Cloudflare [1]. I've read it completely, but the specifics are lost on me since I'm not directly concerned with the network part of our system.

>"As a former game engine developer, my advice is that with both DirectX and OpenGL there is generally only "one right way" to do certain things such as managing a swap chain. Yet, somehow, game developers manage to get this consistently wrong and never seem to test/fix it.

Some good feedback, but remember they're using Unity, so they're not directly controlling anything on a low level.

As for the 2nd part, this is really hard in a small team. For example I'm a solo dev, so I only have access to 2 monitors, 2 graphics cards etc. BUT there are paid for services that provide testing, although that costs money; so when they've made a bit of cash and have a bigger user base then they can probably afford those.
Note that this paragraph is not one of the "margin notes", but a quotation from the book they're reviewing. Their commentary disagrees:

First, the specification can be called large, but hardly huge. It does not contain hundreds of elements, at least if the word "element" is taken in the sense that it is used in the specification. It is hardly true that very few people are expected to read it. The specification contains several introductory and tutorial parts - many of them rather good - which obviously imply that it was written for a wide audience. And the specification itself says, in its About the HTML 4.0 Specification part:

> This document has been written with two types of readers in mind: authors and implementors. We hope the specification will provide authors with the tools they need to write efficient, attractive, and accessible documents, without over-exposing them to HTML's implementation details.

And who says HTML was not intended to be writeable and readable by humans? There seems to a rumor that Tim Berners-Lee himself has said something like that, but if that's true, perhaps someone did not get the joke.
I don't have a circle of acquaintances to share these information and experiences with. I imagine we, men, are more competitive. Sharing would actually help the competition to take over as a gesture of dominance or simply to score as first. Is she a pervert or desperate? Well that's even better...

> Considering that the US universities consistently rank among the top and they do produce the significant portion of the groundbreaking innovation and technology, maybe the American model has a merit?

Britain had quite a lot of innovation during the 1800s when it coïncidentally also had one of the larger/est economies. As the economy of the US got larger and larger in the late-1800s / early-1900s all of a sudden it also coïncidentally started inventing a whole bunch more things.

How much of the innovation and technology from having the largest economy in the world and the most money/capital to throw around?

Certainly there needs to be a certain culture present, especially individualism and capitalism, but how much is 'brute size' a part of the equation?

If you look at what would be advised to you in 2002, you may realize that it’s not what you’d want today. Programming isn’t a job that you can learn once and practice for decades. Unless we figure out something finally. Be prepared to learn deeper to switch easier, to learn almost everyday. It’s not that hard, but skip a handful of years - and you’re obsolete.

Today’s options seem to be go and ts, if you’re targeting “world”. They won’t go away long enough for you to gain momentum.

> If you follow the dependency tree of definitions in the dictionary, eventually you reach the words that are simply one-to-one with the outside world.

I agree with the gist of your comment, but this part is wrong. There is no word in any human language (or, perhaps, in any modern human language at least) that corresponds 1:1 to an object of physical reality. They only correspond to mental constructs in the human mind (some of them shared with many or all humans, as far as we can tell). But neither basic words like "rock" nor advanced scientific terms like "electron" correspond directly to objects in the world.

This is true in two ways: for one, when digging into what we mean by these words, we often discover that the mental image doesn't correspond well with physical reality. For example, grains of sand are rocks in some sense, but few people would recognize them as such.

For another, we have mental constructs that we attach to objects that have no analogue in the physical world. If I tell you a story such as "Mary was a rock, a wizard turned Mary into a frog", and I ask "Is Mary still a rock?" humans will normally agree that she still is, even though she is now soft and croaks.
> [Pathfinder 3] will be the largest airship built in the United States since the Macon was built [by Goodyear] in 1932

They conveniently do not mention the Macon's sister ship, the Akron, which crashed in 1933 killing 73 people.
I have extensively used CMake since years before it supported the target_ options, and years afterwards. So I was using it before, during, and after the breath of fresh air that was the shift to what is now called “modern CMake”, i.e., bjam/b2 style (define targets with private/public/interface dependencies/options). As you can guess, I’ve also used bjam/b2 extensively. I’ve also used meson to a more limited extent. And when I say “used”, I mean where I’ve written many build files from scratch myself, in a professional capacity.

I’m always the “build system expert” on my team because of how much experience I have. If working on a team where people know the compilers, and where build times are kept reasonable (so not using lots of templates in C++), then on a practical level I recommend not using a build system at all, and just writing a super simple shell script (unity builds are easier there too). I still recommend CMake sometimes though — especially if the main requirement is just “gimme some machine code, who cares how, and who cares about using ASAN, etc.”, and the second most important requirement is to ship the code to the open source community.

BTW, I mean freestanding as in “does not link to any C library”, rather than “statically links to the C library”.

You can do this with GraphJin. We support adding custom resolvers currently we have an HTTP resolver built in which allows you to join your DB GraphQL query with a remote HTTP Rest endpoint. For example you want users from your db and their subscription data from Stripe. It works out of the box, GraphJin will write out the correct Rest call using data from the db call eg stripe_customer_id from the db will be inserted into the rest calls. Additionally its smart enough to handle rate limits and parallel fetches if required.

Here's an example

> Another creator who teaches physiotherapy made $141,000 with only 61 students, at an average price point of $2,314 per course.

This seems like a scam. To be a physiotherapist in the United States, you have to have a bachelor’s degree (4 years) followed by a 3 year Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from an accredited college.

https://www.apta.org/your-career/careers-in-physical-therapy...

So the people paying that money definitely aren’t making progress to become an actual physiotherapist.

There is also a physiotherapist assistant training which can be completed in just a couple of years. These programs are offered by community colleges and are likely cheaper and more useful than an online course.

I'm gonna go against the common theme here where the answer is "most certainly not".
google has massive amounts of data from various sources, between their products, advertisments and affiliates/third parties, they have way more data points than you imagine.

speaking of third parties, and the freemium economy, advertising, tracking and other data mining operations also have vast amounts of information about you. that free flashlight app you installed? has your location even when it's not running. also it serves ads, now any advertiser can access your location. and that bullshit about anonymization? there are more techniques to de-anonymize data than they're are to anonymize.

you bet someone out there can pin point your location, from now and 10 years back, what you searched for, what games you played sitting on the toilet, etc.

that's related to the AdInt industry. (advertising intelligence)
This was my company by the sounds of it. This product has failed because the location data just isn't all that reliable.

Also, when digging, the data is heavily skewed in favor of low income. This was instantly noticed by the difference in data available for budget brands and models compared to the pricier lots.
The Giga Factory was made by Musk and it was his idea, it is the epitome of efficiency.
I think the biggest change is content. Games just have a lot more of it now. The ratio of content to mechanics has stretched out hugely. Older zelda games were pretty clear you get one item per dungeon and that's the gimmick and then the item won't be too important going forward. Mario games tend to hit a design theme for a few levels then move on and be done with it.

Now a lot of games just want to be big, even if the variety of gameplay doesn't change. People get validation and a sense of achievement from their numbers going up. People like exploring a big place and running through long scripted social encounters even if there's no autonomy. It's now a long lasting source of social and personal progression that we don't get in real life nearly as easily.

Which is fine honestly. But when a designer fucks up the balance it becomes work because there is no choice but trudging through trivial, reused content to reach the next goal.
