> Notice that if you could travel exactly at light speed, time would cease to exist and you could get anywhere in the universe instantly, as light itself experiences no time.

This is not true. The easiest way to see why, is to realize that speed is relative: there is no difference in considering the observer to move with the speed of light towards the foton, or the foton to move with the speed of light towards the observer.
Yet as you know, we observe light all the time and still we experience time.

>> Webb has an open design; its mirrors are not guarded by the kind of tubular baffle seen on other space telescopes, such as Hubble.

>So previous telescopes did have more protection against this kind of events.

I would expect Webb to be less vulnerable though, due to the open design. So many possible trajectories would just go through the empty space between the beams and trusses (sorry for using the wrong terminology) and not hit anything at all?
"One can say anything about Lublin airport, but they sure do consider IATA codes are serious business. The tone was set right from the parking lot entrance."

The reason Lublin's IATA code is so prominently exposed is because the word "luz" in Polish means - among others - the state of being relaxed, chilled out. Just a bit of marketing on the city's part.

Allows you to install software that isn't in the distro's package manager and didn't have to go through some third party maintainer. In particular, developers can publish to Flathub whenever they want, can run their own FlatPak repo, and can even just distribute FlatPaks directly through whatever means they feel like. This means you can have up to date software the day it is released and don't have to care if it is popular enough to be in your distro's repo.

Additionally, FlatPaks can be stored in "installations" that can be in arbitrary locations. This allows users to install FlatPaks without root, put FlatPaks on alternative disks, etc.

FlatPaks also make dependency conflicts a thing of the past.

Oh yeah, and the whole thing is distro agnostic[0].

Why do entrepreneurs NOT use ready-made forum softwares like this to start startups? Clever use of general tools like this (maybe not specifically Flarum) can help them launch communities or marketplaces in less than a day. Is it as optimal as a in-house built forum? No. Should they be saving time on reinventing the undifferentiated code part so that they can test the core business concept and build out their differentiated networks of users? Yes.

As an "onPrem" & "Big Data" guy I've been astonished at how fast the bill can run up.
We are in the middle of a cloud adoption where the big proponent started with "its just money, devs time costs more.. do what you gotta do" to "hey so we need to consolidate these 3 DBs, and X is on vacation so lets spin this service down, and lets not worry about multi AZ/region yet" .. all before we even have a PROD launch, lol.

In any case, was recently amazed at the cost of an RDS instance to host a meager 2B total records of vendor data. For the annual price I could buy one of the beefy servers I use to host 20% of my entire on-prem estate with 100s of vendor data sets. For my on-prem plant, 2B records is table stakes and we have datasets we receive that much data every day. Probably have something like 10T records of data across datasets if I had to speculate.

Similarly on the ops/infra folks cost save, for every on-prem infra guy they think they can RIF, they've hired a cloud infra guy who for sure costs more.

Likewise for the redundancy/backups/etc being "easy/free" in the cloud, we've already lost data in object store because of poorly execute combination of configuration & actions when try to do some permission changes/copy migration. It was completely unintentional and not noticed for weeks. No one actually executed a literal rm command at the time. Just because the object store advertises zero loss / versioning / etc, you really do still need to do backups.

Clearly theres a lot of ephemeral & burst compute / variable cost stuff that totally belongs in the cloud. However for internal apps at a firm where the usage is largely scaled with staffing levels, the amount of fixed compute makes it hard to argue every app and every use case belongs in the cloud.
That's a big overhead for both the candidate and the company. Only an unemployed candidate could do that, and even then they'd have to stop interviewing at other places to dedicate the month. No thanks.
Pretty sure! We have documentation on importing users and already support several hashing algorithms. Support for more algorithms will follow soon!
Most utilities are very responsive to customer complaints in my experience. It's often the only signal they have of something being wrong short of a fuse breaking and completely dropping the power. If you don't have smart meters giving real time data there's no way to know about this.

I would agree with you if we were talking about a different psilocybe, but in this specific case:

You have to eat fairly substantial amounts (assume 90%ish water, you probably want at least a gram of dry mushroom) of a mushroom that tastes awful, is tiny, upsets your stomach with indigestible matter, and you'd need to eat them in a fairly short window of time. I don't see it as particularly unlikely that we only realised here after getting it from elsewhere, the Norwegian forests have a pretty substantial list of better options.

Like many other foot-guns, this is still great for novices to get started and learn the ropes without dealing with a lot of production-level problems. In an ideal world, everyone would learn best practices from the start and never create a bug in their code.

But that isn't how humans work, and there needs to be some grease easing the process at the start. So they still serve a function, even if it's not the one that the CDNs imagined at the start.
I've tried, but for me limiting myself to the default/whole integer scaling is more of a pain than the bugs I encounter with it.

With 4k, at 1:1 I basically have two choices of resolution : either 3840x2160 native (which results in tiny text, even on a 32") or 1920x1080 HiDPI (which is way too small of an effective resolution, especially at 32").

With 1:1.5 scaling, I can get 2560x1440p HiDPI, which seems to be more stable (and renders text more crisply), but still a tad too small for what I need.

A 5k display would fix those issues, but the price difference between 4k & 5k is way too steep to me for the marginal improvement I would get out of it.

However, I've never had an issue with 4k video playback, even on non integer scaled resolutions. What's more, they virtually never drop frames, even with the system under load. My bet is that their hardware video decoding pipeline is significantly better that what's present on Intel CPUs, and is able to better delegate video decoding to the hardware decoders.

Cozy: A smart personal cloud to gather all your data
I think many people have the opinion that GDPR 'should not' apply outside the European region (or other countries that have enacted GDPR legislation).

A common sense approach would be to say that if someone in Europe chooses to submit their details to an entity based outside of Europe then that's just their choice to waive their rights to their data.

Lawyers and legislators might make arguments and talk about analogous laws and situations but that simple doesn't convince a lot of people. Hence you will get downvotes for saying something so common is illegal.

(As a side-note it's interesting that you personally choose to submit your copyrighted comments to HN given your knowledge of how you're losing effective control of your information.)
Exact same thing with the NBA. Paid for their product but needed to sub to a couple local outfits to get coverage on all my teams games. It was super frustrating how bad the experience was. Now paying two separate subs to catch all the games.
Everything is a choice right, and PPA/AUR are pretty cool usability wise.

So, I understand what you mean.

But the point of package maintainers is:

1) a third party has independently verified and attested to the quality or state of x software. (or there is a responsible person at least)

2) there can be certain guarantees that the package/software integrates with the distro correctly; an example could be bazel vs bazelisk: where both try to write to the /usr/bin/bazel file and would overwrite each other. (same for pipewire-pulse and pulseaudio- they're mutually exclusive).

3) centralises dependencies: if everything depends on the same set of software then you're going to save disk space and memory on every machine, which in aggregate is going to be a lot.

Running "Any old shit" from the internet is such a bad idea overall... it's an artefact from people running windows; and every program bundling it's own update framework....

Partially. You can fill out and send all documents online or by mail -- at least in the city I moved to. Then once everything is done you need to make an appointment to stop by and pick up your address sticker and certificate.

Consider that FlatPak is popular for this case and distributing the way you describe isn't for a good reason: having to deal with all the many and varied dependencies and configurations on any given distro is a giant pain in the ass. People have been screaming this at Linux Desktop evangelists for 20 years about this and mostly fallen on deaf ears, so it is no wonder Linux Desktop is still in a distant 3rd place in the desktop market.

Mhh, while what you are saying is not wrong (though I'm not convinced about the constant thing, given everything is asymptotic), it's a bit imprecise.

A more exact formulation would be m^(1+o(1)) is equal to m^(1 + eps(m)) for some eps where eps(m) -> 0 for m -> infty

Doesn't everyone make daily backups in production environments?

Also, aren't all backups made "just in case"? No sysadmin ever arrives at the office, thinking "Today that accountant is going to mess up the database, I can just feel it in my bones, better make a backup this time" (unless they think that every day...).
But we are talking about a language that is streamed over the internet in absurd quantities, and thus has dedicated tools to make it unreadably small as to better utilize bandwidth. Adding any fluff that is not even useful/get utilized on the frontend side is not a good idea.

I think that a blanket rejection of the "Leetcode" style interview is too broad. They are a tool, and like any tool, one should try and understand when they are appropriate for the job. If the "the job" is to try and provide a fairly level playing field on which to assess candidates on raw problem-solving ability and programming intuition, these are useful tools. There are the same problems as with any test of this kind (you can improve your results by learning the format of the test well), but there's still a lot of signal. If you're trying to hire based on the things these tests measure, you should you use them. As the post points out, correctly, those are far from the only qualities required for many jobs, and anecdotally it seems like some companies are overusing this one type of interview, but the solution is for interviewers to assess what they are trying to select for, and make sure that their selection process measures it as well as possible. Part of that process may well still be puzzle-style interviews.
I need to keep bringing the Termux's use case, and pointing out the documentation of what Google considere public APIs on Android NDK, how apps get killed since Android 7 when they violate this public contract, and how classical Linux drivers are considered legacy since Android 8, to show how irrelevant it is that Android uses the Linux kernel for userspace in Android.
Author here. The black curve represents the hot-spot ignition condition for a laser inertial confinement fusion (ICF) experiment (like the NIF). This means that during the short period of inertial confinement, the self-heating exceeds all losses in the hot spot leading to an increase in temperature due to self heating. It only applies to the black 'x' points.

The Q_sci^MCF contours correspond to scientific energy gain (ratio of fusion power to heating power crossing the vacuum vessel boundary) for a magnetic confinement experiment.

For ICF we can't draw simillar Q_sci^ICF contours because the total fusion energy released depends on the degree to which the ignited hot-spot propagates a burn in the surrounding cold fuel. And this depends on other variables like the symmetry of the implosion which are not captured in this plot.

I listened to it (thanks mikewarot for the warning about the volume), and at some point two of you discuss something I agree with that I haven’t seen noted before when talking about Doug Engelbart:

> [... 1:17:32] Joe is writing down all of the things that you’re saying describing the system, and then he says that “it represents the clumsy phrasing and illogical progression of thought so typical of extemporaneous speech” [https://www.dougengelbart.org/pubs/augment-3906.html#3b5a] which A: is what Jimmy and I are doing right now, B: is what Doug Engelbart’s writing reads like anyways. His writing reads like clumsy and illogical progressions of extemporaneous speech, except that it’s like, worked to within an inch of its life. It is so overwrought, and yet at the same time clumsy and illogical, so that... you know... grrrr!

> [... 1:18:14] Doug is a bad writer, I don’t like Doug’s writing, I’ll say that, I have not enjoyed reading his writing. I enjoyed his fan fiction better than I enjoyed his technical manuals, it’s just not a pleasure to read. And it made me wonder, [...] did he feel the disconnect in quality between, like, Bush’s writing and his own writing? Did he feel like the quality of his writing needed to be formed into this very unappealing mold because of the context he was working in?

> [... 1:20:42] I do kind of agree with you, his writing is very awkward, right? It is hard to kind of get at the ideas that are in here, and you know, maybe there is something to it where he is... this is clearly, some of this is an intentional stylistic choice, right? [...] he wanted to write in this way for some particular reason or other, I think.

Amtrak's adherence to schedules varies by line -- the problem on many of them is getting trapped behind freight trains, but on the Northeast Corridor specifically, Amtrak itself owns most of the track, and the rest is shared with other passenger rail operations (various commuter rail), so they're about as reliable as airlines (which themselves are... not infrequently disrupted by weather).
