I'm looking forward to going back in a year or so, when the situation stabilises.

My risk appetite is significantly higher than the average tourist, but even I'm not stupid enough to go there right now when there's the potential for things to get much worse, very quickly.

The two lobes of that elongated lensed galaxy are mirror images of each other (slightly distorted). You can match up the point sources between them.
Good question. I've long since tossed my various modems from the epoch. I started using dial-up systems around 1987 or 1988, working through 300, 1200/75, and 2400bps, etc.

Referring to wikipedia [0] I note v22.bis was released in 1984, and while they're a bit vague, they suggest 2 or 3 bits per signalling change in those 1200bps modems.

I also recall, though perhaps later, vendors were often champing at the bit with 'proposed spec' compliant hardware available prior to the formal specifications dropping, so it was not uncommon to have some of those new speed devices prior earlier (obviously with some risk attached). I think that was more around the 14400bps era though.

Anyway, my extremely solid Telecom 2400bps modem was almost definitely running at 600baud (produced in the late 1980's, though in my possession from very early 1990's).

Depressingly, a lot of ostensibly tech articles (eg [1]) conflate baud with bps, making them poor-use / low-trust historical references.

> What specifically? Just comparing Nikon mirrorless to Nikon DSLRs, the F-mount (for DSLRs) has, for example, the highly regarded 14-24mm f/2.8. What's the mirrorless equivalent to that?

The old 14-24 is a mediocre lens compared new ultra wide zooms. Nikon hasn't got to an z-mount f2.8 yet, but their f4 is already sharper. When they do a f2.8 it likely will be even better.

I read a lot on online fiction platforms - AO3 and Wattpad are popular platforms but I mostly read Royal Road which seeks to copy asian web novel platforms.

Most of the writers are amateurs but they have diverse means of getting paid - some platforms like Wattpad and Webnovel help writers paywall later chapters, some writers do manually with a paid blog. Some ask for donations on kofi or patreon.

The thing is, speaking about someone who is putting in the effort and skill you'd need to publish for $100 in an anthology magazine - I wonder how much a writer like that makes on these platforms. $100 is only 25 five dollar doners. Maybe "1000 fans" is more profitable.

Here is a top writer from Royal Road - you can see they are pulling $1000 a month. This is surely unusual but it isn't bad https://www.patreon.com/MonroeByJahx

The Windows Kernel is a quite well-maintained and well-written piece of software. I would say one thing that can be frustrating is that the NT kernel simply does a ton of stuff, and breaking compatibility with all of that stuff is not an option.

It leads to code being Complicated, and a lot of Kobayashi Maru situations where there is no good solution to an engineering problem, just a bunch of bad compromises. Depending on your area, you might run into this all the time, or you might not.
The big question is something that Ben Thompson highlighted yesterday - if the court sides width Twitter, but Elon just refuses to pay, what happens? And Elon definitely believes he can play fast and loose with rules and laws, so it could happen.

It's going to be pretty hard for a court to enforce getting financing, and getting the merger through.

As far as I understand it this is possible. It could actually destroy the faith in the delaware courts if this happens. So Musk in a way has everyone over a barrel potentially, and everyone has something to lose.
In a funny twist of events, the author of the grandparent comment above yours was indeed building that OS (Container Linux) at CoreOS :)
At one end of the spectrum: ZeroMQ[1]. No broker to run, and everything can stay within your local network. Just add the library to your microservices and expose a port. It gives you a socket interface with well-engineered queuing primitives. It's enough for most side projects in its simplest form, while also giving you the flexibility to implement a huge number of distributed queuing patterns.

At the other end of the spectrum: just use a managed queue from your preferred big cloud provider. All are reliable enough for this use case, and the cost for most projects would be zero or negligible.

Support calls will probably cost you more than the company unless you value your time very little - most companis don't post numbers answered by anyone paid highly enough for this to have an impact. Instead, call them out publicly or mail/call a someone in a leadership position if you can find contact information.
Clarifying, for those unfamiliar with it:

uMatrix permits enabling or disabling JS (and other website features: images, CSS, media, frames, XSS, ...) by domain or subdomain, including default allow/deny permissions should you choose.

You can also temporarily enable or disable specific permissions, and save those changes permanently should you choose.

It's fiddly, but good fiddly.
I think this would defeat the purpose of doing things just because you want to!
One interesting thing is that modern processors have an AES instruction set [1] integrated into them so that primitive AES operations can be individually called and accelerated in hardware. You can run these instructions from C and it significantly speeds up the AES algorithm compared to writing out the algorithm explicitly in C.

Your first part just sounds judgemental (unless you mean it in a strictly statistical sense) but I agree fully with your second sentence. Tolerance for repeated listening is such a personal thing that someone who does it in a group setting has to be some kind of sadistic sociopath.

>Your comments are coming off as gatekeeping for no other reason than speculation and the fact you're already familiar with the space.

On hacker news it is considered gate keeping to invent ever simpler ways of doing things that are more accessible and are proven to work. In a parallel world someone figures out how to just throw spores in a bucket with rice with no thinking, no preparation and someone on HN will call that person out for gatekeeping because it is not using a fancy shaped box that uses microcontrollers and internet of things and all sorts of other pointless extras that have nothing to do with mushrooms but detract from learning how to grow them.
I would agree with carbadtraingood and your characterization and therefore agree that MSNBC is liberal leaning, which in the US might as well be left-leaning. I think it was a misunderstanding of definitions. Thank you both for your replies.
This sounded interesting but too magicky to me and I did a google search. Most of the top results are about how to disable or limit it. :)

I believe I experienced this kind of feature with fish and it was one of the reasons I didn't like it. (Most things cannot be user configured away in fish).
Rolling Releases are basically my main reason why I choose Arch Linux over Debian.

It would be nice, if Google and Debian could team up together to bring a Debian Version with rolling releases.

James Holden's recent (last decade or so) work is incredible. I saw Animal Spirits live and it is a gig that I truly treasure having seen.

On that, could you explain the term transponder when I would have thought transceiver would be a more apt description. From the SDST and Iris info out there they handle up and downlinks, telemetry and commands etc. which all seem like transceiver functions.
India, but the two countries have a very complicated and touchy relationship. Sri Lanka's Tamil minority, including the Tamil Tigers, was heavily supported by Tamils in India. However, Tamil Nadu (the Indian state) itself has a fractious relationship and the Tigers repaid India's attempt to send in peacekeepers by assassinating Indian PM Rajiv Gandhi.

The problem of young people having economic problems seem to be rather orthogonal to immigration. Immigration, if done right, should create more wealth than the immigrants themselves consume. So there should be more wealth going around for the aboriginal population. That this wealth doesn’t reach the younger population seems like an orthogonal policy problem. A salient example that comes to my mind is policies restricting housing supply.
> Just no. This idea that people are not allowed to learn by doing things and must read huge books first is absurd.

No, its not absurd.

Sure, I agree, for many things in life you can "learn by doing".

But this is cryptography.

There is no escaping that cryptography IS mathematics and an algorithm built on top of that mathematics.

Unfortunately the only way to learn the theory is by reading and understanding books or academic papers.

Otherwise you are just taking shortcuts based on a summary that someone else has written for you on a short blog or forum post. Which, aside from the fact that you are skipping the detail and hence not really learning, also brings us into the region of trust...

If you have no interest in learning the dry theory behind the cryptography, then you have no business rolling your own crypto. Because if you are not willing to understand the theory then you are going to make serious mistakes.

These are Webb's first science images, so published papers will come out of them. Of course, those papers will have additional data and analysis to go alongside it, but they absolutely are looking at details resolved in these specific images, processed in this specific way.

So I'm not sure where the sentiment that these are just images for the public is coming from. That's certainly part of why these observations were made and processed this way, but there is science too.
@tluyben2 thanks for the clarification, appreciated.

Funny, a stable release is the main reason why I choose Debian over anything else. I enjoy that it doesn't change too much. And for the occasional software for which I really want (rarely need) the upstream version, backports, flatpak, docker or compile from sources got me covered.

But the beauty of libre software is its diversity. Keep on using what you like ;)

Hard to industrialise when you are busy fighting a war on your own soil tbh.

Good chunks of the North are still somewhat off limits and fucking littered with landmines too.
I took the liberty to look through the document and saw this:

"This guidance also reflects evolving nuclear threats. The 2010 Planning Guidance focused on 10 kiloton (kT) and smaller-yield detonations consistent with the threat of nuclear terrorism, all occurring at the Earth’s surface. This 2021 Planning Guidance update addresses an expanded range of threat scenarios, including nation-state threats with much larger explosive yields. This guidance also considers nuclear devices delivered by ballistic missile or aircraft that can deliver detonations elevated above the surface."

However, after skimming the guide, there is no specific recommendation on what to do when a weapon over 100kT detonates.

As of 2021, Russia has over 460 500-800kT warheads that can be delivered via ICBM, and around 1000 100kT warheads.
Source: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/00963402.2021.18...

Possible inferences:

1. Cities are not targets for high yield weapons (maybe it is not strategically valuable to completely annihilate cities).

2. Cities attacked with a 100kT or lower yield have a chance of survival and ability to mount an emergency response.

3. Cities attacked with a high yield (e.g. 800kT) have no chance of survival and making a guide for local authorities is useless.

Does anyone know if nuclear doctrine (Russian, American, or other) designate what yields would be used on cities?

For example, lets assume, a nuclear aggressor can do a surprise strike and target NYC. As of 2019 the vaults of the NY FED had 6,190 tons of gold. Wouldn't a 800kT bomb, obliterate or damage the gold? Wouldn't the infrastructure of the city be wasted? It makes senses to target locations that would help a country wage war so military bases and factories, but cities?
Do you believe it will last longer?
The brain looks for rhythmic and melodic resolution, and in lots of popular music – and popular classical music – themes tend to resolve in 4, 8 or 16 bars. However, in some Latin American music, themes continuously develop, telling a story with "jazzy" chords that don't completely resolve immediately, and in other music, such as some classical music and even black metal, the challenge is for the brain to be willing to go into unresolved dissonance; one famous example is the Tristan chord, where the resolution takes rather literally the time of a whole Wagner opera.

It would be interesting to see a study on the correlation between musical taste and delayed gratification in general, though of course different situations require different musical choices – one wouldn't pick something that requires mental focus when cleaning the house.

@l33t2328 programming IS the language and method of expression in computer science. I agree that pointers and mem alloc is necessary if you want to do research in CS and will continue to be so in the future, but as far as programming (post 2022) is concerned, I don't see why any sane person would want to "get down to bare metal", given the improvements in hardware and language design.

I'm not sure why you're carrying so much water for China, a huge nation that can fend for itself.

China absolutely throws its weight around - just like all the other big nations.

It also blindly pursues its own self-interest again like all the other big nations.

China also isn't a monolith, with companies and individuals making deals or going after projects abroad. Sometimes on win-win terms, sometimes trying to screw a target out of money. Again - just like other nations.

China uses money in diplomacy. That's just a fact. They do so not out of altruism but out of self-interest.

If you have a public, open-source project on GitHub, and you regularly accept and respond to issues/pull-requests/suggestions, you are obviously presenting yourself to the world. It is basic courtesy to not be hostile in such communication.
Even for actors that I personally believe to be evil, I like to have more evidence than "there is this dude who was paid not to published, trust me".

Newtonian physics does have the Doppler effect which can cause red shift, but it doesn't accurately explain the red shift that occurs when observing distant galaxies. That's because this red shift occurs due to three factors:

1) The galaxy is moving away from us. This is most like the classic Doppler effect, but because of the high relative velocities involved, time dilation needs to be taken into account to model the red shift accurately, thus at least special relativity should be used.

2) The light travels through space with different curvature. For example, light originating near a very massive star will red shift when moving away from that star because it moves into less curved space. General relativity is needed to explain this effect.

3) The light travels through expanding space. For very distant galaxies this becomes the dominating factor of red shift, as we see an amount of red shift directly corresponding to their distance from earth. General relativity also explains this effect.
Some nice symmetry there:

The evacuation went ahead.
