> my employer won’t pay for the license fees

If it costs $200 or whatever and would clearly save you more than that in time ($200 is a few hours of developer time) then surely it's worth it. I guess the problem is that the process isn't in place to make buying CLion easy, so there'd be a lot of administrative overhead. Or no-one cares about maximising productivity. Or it's not clear to them that CLion actually is better than alternatives. Or maybe they want all developers using the same tools so any process improvements are shared.

None of those seem like great reasons tbh, but I did just make them up as part of a strawman to lambast your employer.
> it seems that US users contribute to map and PoI content a lot more.

I can't point to an example or cite a source (as this is just a guess), but maybe US users unknowingly contribute via Google Photos doing OCR (and other analysis) and combining it into Maps data, while Google is more careful about running AI against every photo taken by EU users (and using it to help in ways that go beyond exclusively the UX of the photographer) for data privacy compliance reasons?
Recently read unleaded aviation fuel seems to be an insurmountable problem for the FAA. Will it be that hard with electric aircraft or is it further along?
In large part the last paragraph I wrote.

The way the government deal with with the private sector in this country is utterly bizarre. It's very much a buy cheap buy twice type of pattern, only the companies that get the deals typically can't deliver anything (i.e. they just pass the money on to a real company, only that means the pricing mechanism/feedback is completely broken)
Not that I've seen. Nothing about the phrase "gas chamber" to anyone knowledgeable about pharmaceutical equipment suggests shower heads though - it's a simple case of you attempting to move the goalposts to support a bad argument.
> "According to psychologists and educational professionals, learning can occur only in the Stretch zone."

Checking the general state of education and mental health in our society, I'm not sure that the current crop of psychologists and educational professionals are really all that worth listening to. A fair comparison might be that of listening to the advice of doctors in the mid-19th century on the treatment of infectious diseases - I think they're missing something fundamental, at least as judged by outcomes.

As far as learning, I think there's been a degradation of the average person's attention span, brought on by technological effects related to social and other media trends. How long does it take to absorb the meaning in a tweet? How about in a TikTok video (shorter on average than a Youtube video, apparently)? Anything longer and there's a tendency for the eyes to glaze over, the mind to start wandering, as boredom sets in...

A traditional approach to learning might involve 15 minutes of constant full concentration on a single subject, followed by several minutes of coming up for air, and then repeat that three more times, that's say 75 minutes of effort. Brutal work for the attention-span-challenged, certainly, but that's the most efficient way to learn new material. However, if you've trained yourself to have a longer attention span, this can be done in a state of mind rather like 'a Comfort Zone'.

You can also perform transfers like this using crossover or null modem[1] serial cables if both machines have serial ports. I transferred a number of files like this back in the day.

I can partially understand the desire to switch if there are (free) plugins available on VS Codium that is not on VS Code. However leaving VS Code because of not trusting Microsoft's off switch for telemetry for the IDE and the plugins they provide is an unintentionally uninformed decision IMO.

Of all actors, one should probably trust the privacy protections and off switch of a BigCo, like Microsoft, since they tend to know what would get them in trouble. On the other hand, you may not be able to rely on the open source plugin developers to do things right and protect your privacy, however, it usually can be a problem that can be fixed [1]. Do you read the source code of all of your plugins? Open source developers may have good intentions, but they may not be following telemetry guidelines or best practices.

> 1. I can pay up front an actually own it

> None of these things are a big ask.

So let me get this straight. You expect (a) a software developer to create a piece of software (b) support in perpetuity (i.e. provide bug fixes) and you want to (c) only pay them once for that. Think about this for a second, especially part b, and explain to me how that should work.

Now you might say "no but what I meant is that every time a new release comes out I pay"...so then I, the software developer, will just do a new release once a year and charge you each year. Does it magically then not become "rent seeking" any more?

The other two points are perfectly reasonable.

But you understand that there isn't some end goal that doing this failed offensive helps right?

As in, they could have just not done a failed attack on the capital, and instead focused their troops on other regions to achieve some other goal.

However many resources they sacrificed on that attack could have been sacrificed elsewhere more effectively, which shows pretty clearly that this specific failed offensive wasn't some success and instead was a failed offensive that they had to back off on.
Yes, I think in the general sense of “first-class X”, “first-class types” would refer to any language with a concept of “type” (except perhaps certain dynamic languages where types are built from language primitives, but I’m not so sure about that case). I’m inclined to say that “first-class types” overrides that general formulation to mean “reified types” specifically. It’s also possible that I’m mistaken and the general formulation of “first-class X” always means exactly “reified X” (although I think reflection is a form of reification, and thus Go would have “first-class types” despite your above distinction between first-class types and reflected types), in which case Go doesn’t have “first-class goroutines”.
In addition to other comments here about increased weight and complexity...

There's an area where it makes sense, and it's being trialed in few places. Namely electric propulsion for taxiing.

You see, Taxiing on jet engines is very, very, very inefficient - you stay pretty much in worst fuel economy all the time to the point that taxiing burns more fuel than few hundred kilometers of cruise on the heaviest airliners. In fact optimizing taxiing is important enough that landings are calculated to ensure you have shorter distance and can reuse kinetic energy from landing, and depending on plane it might be norm to shut off all engines except one during taxi.

So there's experimentation with either adding electric drivetrain to main gear or having remote-controlled pulling car or quick-detachable (and also remote controlled) drive blocks that could attach to main gear. This way the plane would only start the engines just before going onto its designated runway.

I hope not. CLIs are meant for interactive usage, quick passages with simple key-value or crafted regexp are far better than ANY pre-made DSL, JSON is not for humans. CLIs are for human.

The "integration" issue of CLIs is the classic Unix issue respect of Smalltalk systems, LispM etc: unix choose to be a container-ship for individual container instead of a unique ecosystems where programs are just functions/method of a common app. Such issue can't be solved hammering our genitals with JSON, YAML or something else, it's already well solved by OS designs like the aforementioned systems. A unique language, perhaps flexible enough to make new ones (like Racket, but any Lisp can essentially do the same easily) if needed, but still an OS-framework-operating-environment as a unique application where anything live inside.

The reason we do not have that on scale is simply commercial: it's far more profitable the divide et impera vs crafting unique systems where being open is the most natural, sometimes mandatory, way to go...
I worked at Google helping news publishers add metadata to extract live/evolving news coverage for the real time / breaks coverage carousel above the search results. Google will never believe what authors use for meta data. It is just a hint and that will always be the case. There is too much opportunity for deception.

From the article:

- client starts a transaction
- client runs any mutations as needed
- client collects user_ids whose cache entries need to be invalidated
- client invalidates cache
- client commits the transaction

You can now have caches fetching & storing the "old" state between the last two steps. This fails to invalidate cache in all scenarios.

Yeah they are, and this fact is just overlooked by people who aren't thinking through the implications of abundant renewable energy. With a surplus of renewable energy it makes much more sense to manufacture synthetic liquid fuels and burn them, than it does to power airplanes with batteries. The energy cycle is grossly inefficient but nobody is going to care because the energy inputs will be nearly cost-free.
The energy density of gasoline does not matter at all. Batteries are good enough for some applications, like short distance flights. And the operating costs for use cases where batteries work strongly favour batteries.

Power density has not been a problem for a while. We are not anywhere near the theoretical limits of battery energy density. So as soon as there are some commercial applications for battery powered flight, there will be a strong economic incentive to get closer to the theoretical limits.

Current jet engines are absolute engineering miracles that go very close to the physical limits to get maximum efficiency. But it took several decades to get there.

I rediscovered RSS earlier this year when I turned over day to day responsibility for marketing (was managing both product and marketing) to a new manager. All of our marketing tools (website, email, etc...) supported RSS, and to my surprise, a lot of third party sites I like to monitor turned out the have a <link> tag with RSS or atom feeds. I did a quick apt search for rss and realized that akregator is still around, set it up, and now I can keep up with all the content the marketing team (and our competition) is cranking out in few minutes.
Ask HN: Is Bookmarking a Form of Procrastination?
I save a lot of bookmarks/URLs to Pinboard (A popular bookmarking service). I do this so that when I have free time, I can mull over the site properly and do some 'deep work'.

But the bookmarks are starting to pile up, full of cool and interesting things I can leverage, yet I don't leverage them. They sit there looking pretty without action taken on them.

Is this a form of procrastination? I promise to myself I will revisit these bookmarks, but they linger there, unused, like a treasure chest that is unclaimed.

If you bookmark like myself, how frequently do you act upon these links? Do you make full use of bookmarking services, or maybe 10% of the links stored there are actionable?

My understanding is that shady accusations of abuse (spousal or child) are totally routine in divorce/custody cases. Lawyers won't explicitly recommend making something up out of whole cloth, which would be subornation of perjury, but they often fish really hard for anything that might be construed that way. The implication that "such an accusation would greatly strengthen your position" is hard to miss and often acted upon. Parental alienation seems like just the other side of the same coin.

Well that's interesting. Thanks for responding to my post. If you agree with me, why did you name uniform distribution as requirement number 1? Is that just part of the "official" academic definition or something?
This is not the “binary blobs” issue (which is still debated, as you say). This is the “binary kernel modules” issue, which is pretty much settled: Even though they are commonly used and distributed, the kernel can never explicitly allow it! This is what would happen if they did: https://lwn.net/Articles/162686/
Simple is ambiguous as I said, people can and do claim anything is simple. So it can’t be categorically wrong. If it’s possible to simulate five atoms, why not more? I’m not placing time or memory bounds on the process.

I linked to a simulation of an artificial cell [1] in a different comment, I’ll toss the link here too. As I said there, this is not the way the universe works, but I think this approach to simulation may support real thought (ignoring time and memory requirements). It supports cell division.

If Lemoine wanted to argue that LaMDA is capable of true intelligence he should've asked questions we don't know the answers to. Asking for the bot's opinions on things shows that the bot is good at processing info about what we already know, which is impressive, but not sentience.
From a CO2 perspective, synthetic fuels don't have an intrinsic advantage, unless you use biomass as your source of carbon. Traditionally, synthetic fuel has been made using coal or natural gas as the source of carbon. There is still some advantage to this, the nitrogen and sulfur content of the fuel can be dramatically reduced, which is great. But with regard to C02 specifically, you're basically burning coal. With biofuels, I think care needs to be taken to ensure we don't ruin the price of food for people by incentivizing farmers to grow fuel feedstock instead. Biofuels made from algae might be the best, since this wouldn't require the use of arable farmland.

Another approach is to pull the CO2 straight out of sea water. Apparently the US Navy thinks this might be a viable approach, since their nuclear aircraft carriers have power to spare.

I'm always surprised by all the vitriol on here against kubernetes.
My development experience must have been drastically different than the average hacker news startup developer.

It is definitely true you don't need kubernetes for all use cases, but I also sometimes question if people have worked on the sort of large-scale systems where k8s really shines.

My background is at larger enterprise type tech companies, doing high volume service traffic at significant scale, and I've found kubernetes invaluable to managing our services. To the point that if someone suggest we remove it from stack, I would question their experience operating these sorts of systems.
Chris Smalls’s Amazon uprising and the fight for a second warehouse
The original point was how much time and effort is spent to save a pittance in the grand scheme of things. You're confirming how much effort is spent by rich engineers not to pay money. I know there is a principle, but in the end it's still so much effort.
It is also a concern when developing these "weapons" that after using them, they could potentially be reverse engineered. In that context a successful payload that appears poorly constructed could be intentional.

Either way, for the mission goals it was a success.

It is a shame that they only stayed in this flight regime for a few seconds, but they will now gradually expand the envelope.

Here is a good article explaining the tradeoffs they make vs. more traditional VTOL craft with larger propellers: https://ir.lilium.com/news-releases/news-release-details/tec... . TLDR: they accept more inefficient performance during hover because they won't stay in this flight regime for long.
Long time ago I worked for a company where people were paid for time they were travelling to the office (with transport cost covered on top of that). This rule applied only to older folks who had their contracts signed when such terms were offered (at the time when I was joining this clause was already removed). This was in London and some people were travelling 2 hours one way (so 4 hours of paid travelling time every day). Though.. I also thought it is a bit waste of life to spend 4 hours travelling every single day.

A lot could be done to fix the root problem by educating young people on the nature of abusive relationships, and what the signs and red flags they should look out for are, so we don't end up with so many people in such situations. Imagine if the government treated it like an anti-smoking campaign, showing scenes of people tolerating and excusing a bit of bad behaviour from a new partner, then cutting to a few years in future when they're a nervous wreck and their partner is doing all kinds of horrible things to them.

Arguably it's one of the most important things in life, knowing how to avoid abusive relationships, but there's absolutely zero education on it. In some cases the entertainment media even (inadvertently?) tries to normalise such abusive behaviours.
Powered lift aircraft are not controllable in a glide, nor are they capable of autorotation like a helicopter. Any complete loss of power will result in an unrecoverable spin. For safety these aircraft rely on redundant systems, plus a parachute.
