I don’t know how well it was a reflection of classic UNIX philosophy, that’s a whole argument on its own, but when I found and learned about various Suckless tools and similar minimalist things like runit, s6, and in particular an excellent article on doing Linux from scratch but setup with both but busybox so it booted strait to a busybox shell without any init system … collectively they opened my eyes to the fact that “Operating System” is a spectrum containing a lot of room for both varing degrees of hardware abstraction (DOS/RTOSes vs Windows/macOS/Linux/*BSD) and for the level of support the operating system provides the “user land” software on top of it.

It’s been quite useful now I’m working on things like Linux and FreeRTOS on Satellites and how to utilise fault tolerant supervision frameworks to keep critical systems running.
It's possible that this is government disinformation but that's an extraordinary claim. It requires a conspiracy that's far more elaborate than the theory that the moon landing was faked. The Brazilian[0], Chilean[1], French[2], Soviet[3] and many other governments have or had UFO programs and have disclosed reports and evidence. Additionally there have been mass sightings without clear explanations witnessed by large groups of people, for example the Tuscany football stadium incident witnessed by ~10,000 spectators[4] and the Ariel School UFO incident[5].

That's not to say these are aliens, there are certainly other possible explanations however none of them are very good and they don't dismiss the possibility that these are non human intelligent beings.

I've only visited there, but even I know the middle of the country is Nothingness. No cities, no cell service, and everything out there is just waiting to kill you.

OK, only a slight exaggeration.
> It's actually incredible to me how many businesses that do have poor leadership that continually survive. Once you've built a brand, a reputation, a network of clients and a somewhat steady book of business, it's surprisingly hard for most businesses to fail.

I suspect this is the case when there are competent people at other levels in the org. It seems like the rest of the company is often aware when leadership is bad and each push back against poor decisions in their own little way to try and keep their parts of the business running smoothly.
It's not just a question of performance. OpenSCAD doesn't even begin to approach a tiny fraction of Fusion 360's feature set (even if you only look at the free "hobbyist" edition).

I love it. It reminds me of the "mapleseed" machine that has just one blade, instead, and the whole vehicle rotates.

Probably it could have been easier to build if each blade had its own battery, and the flight controller would communicate with blades via radio, eliminating the commutator. Or even put a controller on each, all getting the same R/C input. Or the controller and battery rotate with the rotor, and the only bearing is on the landing gear.

The more usual method for this kind of vehicle has a rocket motor at each tip, fueled by high-purity H2O2 going through a catalytic metal sponge before the nozzle, pressurized by centripetal acceleration from a tank at the hub. But those are notoriously noisy.
IIRC entirely because I didn't use emacs to edit the figures, I was using xfig and later some other figure drawing program I can't remember the name of. If I were just using a save hook (or flymake-mode, which I later used for similar things), when I edited a figure emacs wouldn't know about it so I'd have to either manually run the build or go to emacs and force a file write.
Displacing the long-time market leader would take 5-10 years and a lot of money and defensive litigation. Autodesk was the premium CAD software when I got my first job building computers in the 1980s. I think it's a little silly to call it an opportunity unless you have $10s of millions in capital to get the ball rolling.

Of course you could take an open-source approach like Blender, but that's a 20-30 year climb.
Something I have experience with - it’s a big step towards grafts not using human tissue. Results are promising and hopefully we have continued lack of rejection, and long term results (the average human transplant lasts around 10-15yrs, this study only followed patients up to 2 years so more info needed).

One might ask, where is this needed? In the US we actually probably have a surplus of donor corneas. However in other countries with less robust infrastructure this may fill a gap.

I don’t think it’s actually 13 million people but probably a big chunk of that group could benefit.
I have a dim memory that missile tracking systems pay close attention to how fast an object decelerates when it hits atmosphere, as part of distinguishing real warheads from decoys. Maybe you can use that data to estimate how fast a rock is eroding að it falls.
Most “programming” or at least where most of the value lies is actually data modeling.

It’s easy to explain data modeling (excel, sheet of paper). From there things start to make sense.
This misses a big part of why books and lectures are much more effective than the author presents. In books and lectures a practitioner is offering you shortcuts and advice to avoid pitfalls and accelerate your learning in a polished well thought out way (if the author/instructor is good - big if). Sure, not everyone retains them. But for those who do they can practice by doing without banging their head against the wall as much.

My experience is that those who can pay attention to a book/lecture and do plenty of practice by doing are the fastest learners.
The article said SL already deployed one mitigation.

The problem with mitigations is that they are just speed bumps.

It's amazing how many of the pathfinding behaviors are critical to the balance and function of StarCraft. From the carrier's drone leashing behavior to the way Dragoons can get stuck and how workers float over each other but can collide at critical moments, the pathfinding code and the control over it is critical to StarCraft's high skill ceiling, while StarCraft II just has deathballs.

I can't wait for the promised followup
> I'd even be fine with slower processors so long as we had the ability to verify exactly what they are and are not doing. With hardware we could trust not to betray us or prevent us from doing whatever we wanted we'd be better off than with locked down processors that prevent us from doing what we want but perform 'approved' operations faster.

N3051: Operator Overloading in C proposal [pdf]
I'm guessing it got posted because another posting had a link to it... or at least that's why I ran into this for the second time today.

I was just contemplating C vs. C++ today. I've been doing Go for some time and I want to build something relatively small and performant. I think I'll keep some C++ for myself here.

I mostly agree.

Perhaps another analogy would put Autodesk (or any other rent-seeking company) as a mildly abusive partner, with similarly clear options: put up, find another partner, go single etc.

Doesn't mean the mildly abusive partner isn't mildly abusive.

(Clearly Autodesk is withing their rights here, I'm not suggesting otherwise).
“Unintended” consequences feels charitable.

Regulations like this don’t come from nowhere. There is no “clean room” process for working this stuff out.

They’re created by government officials based on feedback from industry specialists. The loop is almost completely closed.

The article already mentions the Subaru Sambar. That vehicle is also a result of government regulation.

But Japan’s regulations created a market for very small and cheap cars with real innovations in efficiency, while the regulations in the US resulted in very big and expensive cars, with innovations in passenger comfort.

So what’s the difference?
You gave one suggestion, which was based on inter-personal trust. This removes a major benefit of taking part in the Ethereum ecosystem. If it became a widespread way for people to take part in Ethereum's staking mechanism then yes, Ethereum's consensus would effectively be based on interpersonal trust (which is something that the developers have gone to great pains to avoid).
> Now, to be clear, nothing about this model is scientific, [...]

This one always gets me. I've been trying hard these days to give better, clearer, more actionable advice to beginners who want to learn how to program.

I think, at the most basic level, we understand that our estimation of how much we learn from some particular teacher/course/method is wildly inaccurate, and it's a poor way to assess how effective that teacher/course/method is. Someone constructing a cute pyramid diagram is not much better.

It's also not about maximizing retention. That's a very one-dimensional way of looking at effectiveness. All of these ways of learning have their own place.

We DO have decades of qualitative and quantitative research into computer science pedagogy. We CAN do better than draw up a pyramid like this. It's nice to acknowledge that the pyramid is not scientific, but why would we not then dig through the journals a little bit to find some papers on computer science pedagogy?

The comments here reflect that since this was written, both the C++ language and programming as a whole have moved forward a decent bit. For example, the existence of move has made the pattern of a private constructor a bit less cumbersome. That said, I think they still raise a good point: making a reliable foundational library in C++ is hard without the privelege of being able to make a lot of assumptions about the runtime environment and compiler flags. The exceptions in dtor thing is still true, so if you can't enforce -fno-exceptions, you're left in an awkward place.

There are always more answers, but I think the fact that there's so many questions to begin with illustrates the problem.
My only problem is making sauces and tomato based dishes. In both cases the sauce penetrated the pan (and sticks). Tomato anything is also problematic because it’s acidic and doesn’t do the cast iron or carbon steel pans any favor. Would love to hear a workaround if anyone knows one though because I want to ditch the Teflon oan.
> What will not work is overland external supply with more wagons; as discussed the animals eat food and so adding more wagons just slows the army down more and increases its food demands; that’s the tyranny of the wagon equation at work – the army cannot wagon its way out of a foraging pit.

The "tyranny of the wagon equation" is so good.
I am self taught at most things I know.

What I would have given for someone to explain objects to me when I was trying be an object oriented programmer.

>objects are the things you think about first in designing a program and they are also the units of code that are eventually derived from the process.

Huh?
Classes would confuse me.
Methods would confuse me.
I could get things to work but not understand why or how to extend and abstract properly.

At some point of learning you just need to be told the answer so you can move on.
Yes and no insofar as the Attorney-General and the Director of the FBI are both political appointees hired and fired by the President of the United States.

You’re meshing the appointed leadership with the field agents, but rank and file FBI and most of their bosses are law enforcement whose assembly line is Justice, not policy, and they’re the guys with the guns, not the creatures with the pencils.

TIL about latexmk (which I gather is a perl script that handles a lot of the latex build deps, like running bibtex at the right time(s), for you automatically), thanks!

I never really understood most of the TeX world. I cargo-culted the bits I needed to make:

* articles for journal submissions (easy, they all provided packages or templates),

* my thesis (somebody had written a latex class that took care of all the school's formatting requirements a ~decade prior), and

* a resume,

and never dug into the differences between tex, latex, miktex, texlive, auctex, lyx, pdftex, xetex, luatex etc etc etc etc etc.

I was just to ask you if you knew of a 40000-foot overview of these kinds of things but stumbled across this article over at Overleaf: https://www.overleaf.com/learn/latex/Articles/What%27s_in_a_... , it looks pretty apropos.

> Are you seriously suggesting one shouldn't take an institution's history into account when looking at a case? Like if the KKK does something, we should completely ignore their history of racism in figuring out what happened? That's absurd.

Only if that history has something to do with the case in hand. If KKK lynched a white man, for no racist reasons, why do you think that we should be discussing their racist history instead of the facts of this specific case? Don't you think that it is absurd to claim that the only motivation for KKK doing absolutely anything is racism?

Now, if KKK lynched a white man for marrying a black woman... well that would be a different story.

So, what is your "black woman" for the case that is on discussion here?
Who are these beginner devs? Do people actually get a bachelors degree and proceed to not work in the field?

Who are these people who take up a craft of creating software and need to be told to, create software, to get better at it?

I've been traveling throughout SE Asia for the past few months which requires long flights and bus rides. I just finished up The Martian by Andy Weir and read by RC Bray, and am about 1/3rd the way through Project Hail Mary, also by Weir and narrated by Ray Porter. Both are fantastic if you're in to hard science fiction. Also, I think the choice of narrator makes or breaks whether or not an audiobook is good. In both audiobooks, the narrator has done a great job keeping me captivated with the story.
It's a long fight, of the kind one loses until one wins.

There are simply better ways for demand and supply to signal each other than what adtech provides. When we prove that, we'll win.
Try Vectorworks. They had BIM years before Revit was a twinkle in AutoCAD's eye. Perhaps they fell behind for a few years but now but now more than viable and so much more stable code.
Not to be dismissive, but I have no idea why I should want to install this. I actually just spent a few hours setting up a tmux configuration yesterday, so I feel like I'm in the target audience for this, but...

I can configure panels with YAML, it looks like. Why would I want to change my resizable panes for a set of static ones? It supports arbitrary plugins, is says. But can't I just run any program in tux, so what is the point? The screenshots seem to mostly show how loud and colorful the chrome is, which seems distracting. And then the roadmap seems to be the only feature list, does that mean the software is actually "batteries-will-eventually-be-included"?
You may well be right. I wonder if the nearby airplane would be victim to the same optical illusion though?

Either way, your explanation is more likely than aliens, agree.

World War Z [0] by Max Brooks

it came out in 2006, when there was a bit of a fad of zombie-related content. most of it was pretty formulaic and predictable - there's a zombie apocalypse, there's a group of people struggling to survive, the story follows them.

World War Z broke out of the mold, taking the form of "an oral history of the zombie war". its conceit is that the narrator is a historian, going around the world to interview survivors and record their stories. each chapter takes the form of an interview with a different person, arranged more or less chronologically to follow the spread of the zombie outbreak.

this oral-history format lends itself really well to an audiobook with an ensemble cast. the author is the son of Mel Brooks, and he was able to use Hollywood connections to assemble an incredible cast [1].

there is also a film with the same name [2]. the film jumps right back into the predictable formula that the book so deftly escaped, and turns into "Brad Pitt saves the world from zombies". the two share no similarities beyond the name. it makes Paul Verhoeven's Starship Troopers look like a faithful adaptation of the source material in comparison.

Not a specific book, but a process trick:

Any Kindle book can be read aloud by Alexa, via your phone. I don't want Alexa listening to me, so I just downloaded the app and didn't give any permissions (I don't remember what all it asked for).

Most library ebooks can be sent to your Kindle Cloud Library. So if you can borrow it, you can have Alexa read it out loud to you. If you want to adjust the playback speed, press the Alexa button within the app and say "Alexa, read faster|slower".
Why would a private company that has issues with fires and complying with fire codes ever want to hire a firefighter?
Agreed, a common misconception, imo, is that programming's some sort of math or language skill when really it's just learning how to break down computer magic into the simple underlying logic and systems that generate it.
That is part wishful thinking and part misunderstanding the market. These are "industry standards" and you are thus completely locked in. Thus, when Adobe switched to their subscription model, what people wanted was a software that is 100% compatible and looks and functions identically, but without the bullshit. Surprise that does not exist because only Adobe can legally offer that.
It’s also a case of not really a cost for the B2 (or F35, or F22). What you’re really paying for is “if we have a war, will we own the sky?”

they are probably satisfied with the 2 months per video pace. In general content creators seem to experiment a lot until they get to a sweet spot with their audience for their type of content. Also we underestimate the effort researching and putting together high quality content, on top of production effort and the admin effort around running a channel like that.

But it would be interesting to know if there is a tools issue holding them back. Lots of smart engineers here looking to build products to solve for that.
