What would it take to increase the likelihood of rain synthetically?

I know many are adverse to geo-engineering, but lets say i can predict the winds for the next days, i have a ocean, i have solar and ultrasonic humidifier , wouldnt it be feasable to basically create dense fog - cloud coverage from nothing that is then carried inlands were it rains down near mountain ranges?

You take one of the armies floating solar arrays, add the humidifiers and voila ready is a terra forming experiment never tried before.

The explanation in the other comment is also correct. When you go from drive.google.com to googleusercontent.com to download a file, this historically worked by using third-party cookies to verify that you were authorized to download the file. When Safari dropped support for third-party cookies they added a new flow which uses link decoration instead, but only use this flow when they think the browser doesn't support third-party cookies. Their "does this browser do third-party cookies" logic isn't very good, and doesn't handle Chrome without third-party cookies.

I'm not sure why they don't use the new flow for everyone. My guess is that it's less secure? Maybe that if the link they generate is shared it gives access beyond what the original owner chose to share?
Every once in a while, there's a news interview with a 100-year-old who swears that their secret to a long life was to drink enough whiskey to take the edge off all the cigarettes. I can't help but think that all these individual anecdotes are little more than confirmation bias.
Ah, I have this experience burned in my skull. My backwardish university, where I started 1999, had SW engineering degree only available on their Faculty of electro engineering and informatics. Historically it has been EE through and through, CE was just an relatively new addition and you could see it on classes.

Even on CE, we had for first 2 years tons of absolutely mandatory EE courses which had 0 relevance to software development. One (Theoretical electrotechnics II) was especially hardcore due to 1) math used was tougher than actual dedicated math courses we had at that time; 2) the professor was an absolute a-hole, I mean proper evil twist in his personality... everybody on whole university hated him, I mean teachers, management, everybody, students were properly scared of him. He was so well known even people on other universities knew him well. But he had some good expertise in some topics so he was tolerated, and he served as biggest student filter on whole faculty.

He literally fired people from whole school (as in last attempt to pass this mandatory course, 2 attempts per year, if failed could repeat next year) in their 3rd year at uni, because of a single dot in whole equation calculation (which was at least 1 A4 per exercise). Dot was just above given variable in equation to give it different meaning than non-dot ones, and pens did often fail us back then (so after solving an example we all tripple-checked all dots were visible where they should be).

He often told girls they shouldn't study EE since its not for them, guys that had long hair that they should get back to their moms, people with hungarian-sounding names that they should go to Hungary etc... He was fired eventually.

If it hadn't been for him, EE would be above-average difficulty but definitely manageable subject. As it was done, one basically done university for CE degree once passing him. And the best thing of all this - he was consistently given only to teach and examine CE people only. EE people had such an easygoing professor that everybody passed it.

Needless to say, I loathed anything EE-related for quite some time. Schools have ways to effectively discourage even good topics to folks like me.

In my earlier days of internet use, I actually made some online friends that I later met in person (and still kinda-sorta-ish keep in contact with ~20 years later).

But I haven’t met anyone online that I have any in person contact with in a long long time. Although I haven’t really made any friends online in ages either, most of my communication with strangers seems to be one off messages like these HN comments that have no real hope of ever developing into anything else. I guess friendships develop in chat rooms rather than comment boards, which is how I became friends with the people I did become friends with.

It’s definitely a lot harder the older I get and it’s quite frustrating. People are busier, I’m busier, makes it hard. Even just going out, the majority of people are a lot younger than me, which is fine for hanging out (I hung out with people my age when I was the same age as the people I see now), but I find it extremely difficult to build a deeper connection or relationship with them, I guess I feel like the creepy older guy sometimes so I stay distant. Double so for dating. It doesn’t help that I have anxiety, I suppose. My core friend group are great and we do hang out, but yeah, they’re busy, most have kids too, which makes it very hard to just casually meet up.
Keep in mind that most recent cars (last 20 years?) Have injectors and do not use a carburetor.

I'm usually the guy called in to make peace between designers and developers. I have consulted with large enterprises, major IT providers, etc., and my job was to bridge the gap. I have also been one of the Creative Directors at Razorfish, but my job usually starts with presales and meddles with the product managers, designers, and developers.

In short, I can talk the business talks while designing and finish off coding the designs. So, here are what I think.

The war between Designers and Developers will never end, and it is OK. The designers will blame the developers that they are supposed to be smart enough to code the design. At the same time, the developers will scorn that the designers have no clue how things work. The situation aggravates in bigger companies and environments where separate teams by function, not by products or features/modules.

There was a documentary about Aston Martin making the One 77[1]. The engineers, designers, and everyone work together. There are no separate teams that come together later to fit in the final car. A few friends and I used to refer to this analogy when explaining how to get designers and developers to work together -- think of the product/feature/module and then bring the team together from the start.

There should be one person in the team who can walk between the designer and developer world, even if s/he can only either design or write code. S/he should have that empathy to understand both sides of the stories. Once you have that person and the team begin to learn to dance around, the intricacies of interaction between the two different minds will be the time when things get smoother. There will still be friction, but it should become way more manageable.

Professor Patrick Wilson from the MIT [1] once wrote that:

"Your success in life will be determined largely by your ability to speak, your ability to write, and the quality of your ideas, in that order."

I think that's true.
When I did my masters a few years ago, I enjoyed more the process of writing and editing than the research itself. I resonated with the thinking process behind the chain of ideas necessary to build a research document and this was surprising for me.

Writing has been something I left aside for some time until I decided to start my Cybersecurity newsletter [2], which has been a pleasure to write. Having the time to do it is the challenge.

> There is a demand for fast transportation of medical supplies [emphasis mine]

Is there really?

I understand that for non-fungible, perishable goods such as organs or test samples there might be a need (though a helicopter would do just as well), but when it comes to supplies, it will be significantly cheaper to just make more of them and stock up on them at each hospital rather than moving them back & forth (not to mention that this particular trial only ranged for 40 miles - this is something a car can easily do).

It won't work unless it's cheaper than the alternatives, and I can't see it being cheaper than just optimizing logistics elsewhere to ensure you have a big enough stock of medical supplies to not need regular drone deliveries (and when you do, a helicopter is an adequate backup plan).
It supports APIv4 (JSON REST API consistent with how all other Cloudflare APIs are managed) and Worker bindings (JavaScript API). The former is how the UI is implemented (not currently documented beyond creating and deleting a bucket because we haven’t taken time to review/stabilize the API for proper REST semantics). The latter doesn’t use REST but instead has a hacked up JSONRPC-like mechanism (which we’ll rip out at some point once the runtime makes certain things easier).
If 'design' and 'development' are entirely separate it's pretty much impossible because the two sides have different goals. You have to align them. This entire process gets a lot easier when you have one team who understand that their job is to deliver value to the customer (or user) rather than "design pretty things" or "write clever code".

Until everyone gets that message, it can't work.
Then it's dietary not genetic.
It's very common. Most IT groups collect this information for HR and don't do anything with it. The truth is the company doesn't care if you look at porn as long as you do your job.

It's bizarre that this can happen at the same time as widespread staff shortages are being reported in some sectors, but there we are. https://www.theweek.co.uk/business/economy/956951/labour-sho...

It seems to me that decades of industrial policy have been aimed at clamping down any means to demand nominal wage increases, especially through industrial action, so we are now stuck in a low-wage staff shortage situation; this would be a great time to invest capital in productivity increases, especially while interest rates are below inflation, but British management culture is too dysfunctional for even that. And the government are not going to do anything useful because they're busy competing for the top job, egged on by a press who don't care about industrial policy or wages.

They can. They're aggressively expanding in Europe and Asia where the EE wages they pay are very good for the local market.

Also, Israel is a major tech hub where Intel, AMD, Apple, Nvidia and others develop plenty of cutting edge tech.

Not everything has to be done in the US with US wages and those companies know it and are taking advantage of it.

Does inflation include rent? If inflation goes up then my landlord will have to pay more for his potatoes. My landlord’s sole source of income is the rent I pay him. Does that mean I have to pay more rent, so he can afford his potatoes?

The cost of potatoes goes up for me as well. So am I being hit twice by the potato price hike — once for me and then again for my landlord?

In a fair world, renting a property is paying for the right to live somewhere and nothing more, but I feel like in the unfair world landlords feel entitled to rent as an income stream and as such when the potato price goes up they will ask for a “pay raise” (rent rise) to cover it.

I took a big paycut to move out here. It has tradeoffs and I'm relatively young without family, but yeah it is a little annoying seeing intra-company peers making 30% more to do the same thing. My bet is that an island is easier to defend from mass migration once the water wars kick off in a few decades - and it's pretty fun to travel about Europe in the meantime.
I agree with this. I always tell people that the designs aren’t carved in stone or written in blood, and if something looks or feels wrong to bring it up. There’s no point in the process where the design can’t be improved, and anybody can be the one who finds an opportunity for improvement. And there’s also no shame in changing a design to make it easier to code. Ultimately no design is ever finished, and anything can be adapted or improved.

Align the teams on things they both value: system thinking.

The best way I've found to get designers and developers to produce 1+1=3 outcomes is to show developers the design system (styleguide) and show designers a development process (functionality > fixes > finesse) that works.

Inertia slows team progress when designers hand off fully-finessed, high-fidelity screens that would take considerable time to implement.

Instead, ask your design team to start with functional lo-fi designs so engineers can have a basic UX/UI to dev against. The audience for the lo-fi is mainly internal, think pre-release/private alpha.

Some of the early development work is around feasibility, which doesn't require all the finesse designers value.

After you have functional lo-fi's, the design team can ship mid-fi screens that have fonts, colors, etc. Hold off on gradients, shadows, and micro-interactions. Lottie animations can come later.

At this point, you can start user-testing features and validating each hypothesis. It's much easier to iterate development on mid-fi's vs. hi-fi's. Especially when you need to make changes. Making changes at the mid-fi stage de-risks your startup.

Now you've done design and development in tandem and you don't need long design cycles that take forever to implement and de-motivate developers.

Nothing will motivate developers to implement your polished hi-fi screens more than having a validated product.

Hope this helps! @erikkjell

I don't know, xml represents multiline values so much better than json/yaml. Then when it comes to escaping reserved characters, wrapping it in cdata is a lot cleaner than json/yaml escaping.

I am currently building something new that uses xml for a properties file. My use case requires sql inside a properties file (without the use of additional .sql files). Really wanted to use json/yaml because I felt like I was in the 90s, but xml was just a lot better for this case.

> Have never met an SE moving into EE.

I started out doing EE at UT Austin and never finished because I was a lazy child and had zero awareness of what I was getting myself into. Decided to get a computer "engineering" degree from a cheaper local institution.

Fast forward 15+ years, and I am now responsible for more than I dreamed possible and am considering an EE path as my next steps for when I burn out as a software developer. I still deeply enjoy all of the nuances of electronic devices, how they are made, why they work, etc... I used to work in a semiconductor factory, and might return with a new title some day. I also might go macro and help out with the grid. Both things are still very fascinating to me.

So, almost always.
Sushi is pretty quick to make, and maki rolls moreso. It tends to be a high margin item due to a high price. A sushi order with $10 of profit can be delivered for $5. A few snacks with a profit of $1 cannot be delivered for $5. Maybe you can shrug and just pay a higher delivery cost : item ratio to make it happen anyway. But in my area the reason the asian restaurants are only faster is because they have their own dedicated delivery staff. That would just not work for random convenience stores because the order volume is low due to stupid prices.

Margin $, Margin %, Transportability and Order Volume are the big ones in my guesstimate. Pizza is the ultimate choice across those 4. I don't think asian restaurants are better at this across the board consistently.
