Thank you for your reply here. You've nailed it - there is an ever-widening gap between physics and philosophy, which is concerning to me for various reasons. In the end, I feel it is holding things back, but perhaps we have entered a new era.

A few points, with the hope that they are helpful, but bear in mind that I am also not an expert:

1. I too, disagree with Wittgenstein, though his statement is mostly logical in context. Disagreeing here is tricky.

2. Einstein was definitely a well-documented realist, and the debate is central to what I'm trying to get at here. I tend to defend him, though I suspect I am nearly alone among 'philosophers'. I think everyone else has jumped from what they see as the sinking ship of 'realism'. I suspect it is fully sunk at this point, except for a few die-hard realists out there. (Are there any left?)

3. The "natural ontological attitude" is a realist concession. It's basically what you are talking about, with some complexities for the interested. I like it, but it doesn't resolve anything, it just says, 'this epistemological nit-picking is annoying - I'm just saying that "it just seems better because it is based on a physical theory..."

My apologies for being pretentious or presumptuous about philosophical concepts. I just wish there were more open discussion of where these spheres overlap. Again, thank you for your critical thoughts here.

And truly, read the Fine book in a decade or whenever. It's amazing.
The original design was meant to use 3x turbojets, not turboprops.
TL;DR: Because of higher fraud rates with manually entered card numbers.
> Think of this on the most basic level like with DPI scaling. If an application has no idea of DPI scaling and has a certain DPI hard coded in (like many GTK1 applications do) then you cannot do anything about that with any "backwards compatibility".

There are multiple ways to deal with that, for example Lazarus / LCL scales all automatic values by the scale factor. Only when someone deals with pixels directly (e.g. drawing shapes on a canvas manually) has to update the application.

Yes, in that case it wont work automatically, but it can still be good enough for most applications and the changes to make it work "properly" can still be much simpler than doing a massive API upgrade. In a desktop-based bugtracking program i wrote in Lazarus, pretty much all of the UI worked "out of the box" on a GPD Win 1 running KDE/Xorg with scaling set to 150% - except a single widget where i drew things manually. Fixing that was a matter of a few lines of code. Much preferable to having to port to some different toolkit.

Also fallbacks can still be implemented, like using shadow drawing and scaling. These can even be exposed as controls to the user via binary parameters or environment variables, thus allowing users who are not in a position to modify the program (e.g. using some old binary or found some source code that they can compile but do not really have the knowledge to fix themselves) to find a "good enough" scenario. This is why, e.g. Windows have that "Compatibility" tab in there, even if they cannot always get a 100% perfect fix.

The point is at least making an effort.

> they are impossible.

They are not impossible, most of the time when a programmer claims something is "impossible" they haven't tried or thought enough or tried to think enough out of the box: you have to take that into account from the point where you design the new features, not try to backport them after the fact.

A bunch of Gtk4 features as it exists and was designed right now with the current mindset will certainly feel hard / impossible to backport to something like Gtk1. The point is not have that mindset in the first place and treat backwards compatibility as a feature as important as anything else at all points during the development of the library.
A rule of thumb I sometimes use to assess products, including ones I've built:

Looking back at the last year, are you (or your users) happy with the time spent using the product? Do you/they regret it?

Juicing short-term engagement can be effective for startups, but it isn't everything, and doesn't necessarily lead to lasting value.
I'm not surprised to hear about this.

The high growth "move fast and break things" approach of silicon valley is all well and good when the stakes are low, e.g. when what's at stake is my lunch or interactions with a friend's social media post or my vanity smoothie. It's a recipe for disaster when it comes to consumer products that can kill or maim when they fail, where neglecting edge cases (what happens when children use our products that are intended for adults) might mean lifelong disability or death.

The materials used in these bikes are utter junk -- really this company is a hollow shell that is not much more than its branding. And this year workers in their repair + retail shops have been unionizing in the face of poor treatment and conditions.

Now with this bad press, I'm hoping they're in for a reckoning that will force them to put more emphasis on quality in their products and operations, or at least go to zero quickly before their products kill someone else.

The Hoover Dam's deadpool level is 895 ft, or 272 m. I am not a civil engineer, but why not build the water intakes (apologies if I don't use the correct terminology) at the bottom of the dam, in order to set the deadpool level at 0 ft? Why build the intakes so high?
> the types are still static.

Python is a dynamically, but strongly typed language. JS is dynamic, but weakly typed. Java would be an example of a statically and strongly typed language, and C may be a statically and weakly typed language, but I’m not sure this latter is an apt description (you can cast anything in C and it may work, while this will fail in Java if the types are not compatible)
It makes sense - like Apple's $99 / year developer fee - to keep people abusing the system out. If anyone can create a company for free or for a low admin fee, they will.

React is vastly overused. You don't need every single element in your page to be a separate component when 95% of your site is pure text and you have an occasional form or a button here and there.

If you're making an actual application (think Discord/Spotify) then yes, it becomes a necessary abstraction. Your personal website or news website (or many others) using React is a waste of my bandwidth and CPU cycles.

I wonder if this opens the door for .NET applications to be included in Ubuntu? Neither this blog post nor Ubuntu’s [1] mention that as a possibility.

Just thinking from a Ubuntu package level, where libraries live in packages separate from executables, it might be possible to create library packages using the result of ‘dotnet store’. Then executable packages could reference them when running ‘dotnet publish’. [2] That way multiple executable packages could share common libraries.

Replicating the packages of a language package manager (Nugget in this case) into a system package manager (apt in this case) is probably not fun. You will end up with dependency nightmares or one system package per version of Nugget package. So maybe it’s not worth doing.

No, my actual criticism is that backwards compatibility was broken, not that previous versions stopped development - such a concern about stopping development only exists because the newer versions were not backwards compatible.
My point is that they're both not the most centralised form of government. Even if Switzerland is officially a federation instead of the confederacy its name suggests, the point still stands.
How can you possibly read GP's comment and think they don't realize this? Stop nitpicking. Calories In vs Calories Out is correct. Period. It doesn't matter if Calories out is hard to calculate.
Is there no market for an electric Challenger?

Said another way, I don't understand why going electric precludes muscle cars.

If anything, it seems like they have an opportunity to make them even faster when they are electrified.
That isn't true, though. Neither the article nor the comment you're referring to say anything at all about weight loss. In fact, while most of the links in the top comment are guys who care somewhat about staying lean, Mike Israetel explicitly does not. His goal is just to get as big as humanly possible given his genetic constraints (but also while doing steroids). That is entirely legitimate when the topic of the study being discussed here is whether infrequent or more frequent lifting builds more muscle.

Your comment is non-sequitur. Perhaps weight loss is the majority fitness goal in industrialized nations of the world today, but it is still a legitimate and separate topic worth discussing for people who succeed or were never fat in the first place, but still aren't necessarily all that "fit," to think about what they can do to achieve some goal beyond just not being obese.

You'd think Hacker News of all places would understand this. For the majority of the world, simple tech literacy is a goal and presumably a whole lot of research and think pieces discuss that kind of thing, how to best promote it and what not. But everybody here is already tech literate. We want to be technically excellent, not literate. That is a different goal and the tools you need to get there are different.

The above resources are not promoting how to not be obese. They're promoting how to be athletically excellent.

Ask HN: Is RSS dying? Or coming back?
Is RSS still actively developed as a protocol? If not, why not? Are there any viable alternatives on the horizon?

I find it really troubling that we seem to have resigned ourselves to web content discovery and distribution belonging to corporations like Google and Meta.

Also grateful for any reading recommendations on this subject, both on RSS specifically and on the question of web content discovery/distribution broadly. (I’ve read through most of the stories/posts pronouncing RSS dead or resurrecting it and I’m not convinced either way.)

Can these be 'stacked' - Can you have a turboFan in line with a turboProp such that the output of the wash of the Fan feeds into the Prop, but with a portion of the wash spinning to thrust on the outer ring of output.=, via a design in the cowlings which is hyper directed thrust vents (think the grid of straws used to funnel water into a cohesive column, which can be directed)

Quite the opposite. Logistics matter. even to a Google, scaling human responses for user problems is extremely difficult when those users are in the billions. There will always be lots of difficulties unless AI gets radically better. I still think we fundamentally agree and Google should definitely ensure real responses at least to anyone who spends over a certain amount with it, but to me Mailchimp has far fewer excuses. These are paying customers of a multimillion dollar company and only a fraction of such people require support at any given time. Yet they still treat these users like shit sometimes for no good reason.

edit: and I have dumped Google. I use it for exactly nothing important in my life. It is possible and doable.
google cloud also has a metric ton of IOPs and throughput on their networked persistent disks. But what this article is talking about is latency.

Since it's a VM, it's ideal for workloads with a set amount of resource use and that need strong isolation guarantees. Regular containers are better to share a pool of resources whose usage varies widely, and when you don't need strong isolation guarantees. Depending on how I/O is handled, container I/O can be very slow, whereas a dedicated disk snapshot without CoW/overlays would be much faster. Since this also uses TSI for networking, you will need a patched Linux kernel to use networking in the guest at all, and raw sockets don't work at all.
Because the water needs potential energy to do work.

I don't think Borland had Delphi and C++ Builder developed by "MBA suits".

Yeah, he might have morphed since then... I still think of him as one of the guys behind Delphi, but it's been damn near a quarter century since he left Borland. But denying he has any real tech chops is just way wrong.

You have to be mixed up; a turboprop has a propeller attached to the jet engine. No-one in their right mind would use a turboprop supersonically. It would make an insane amount of noise.
> Even if you aren't using anything that changed in the newer versions it will refuse to run.

Nope, versioning is on a per symbol basis so if that prevents you from running the program it is actually using a symbol (i.e. function) that changed.
I did some googling since I was also curious and found this stellar article: https://energyeducation.ca/encyclopedia/Hydraulic_head

TL:DR:
"Head differences of 100 meters or higher are considered high head. In this type of plant, water travelling through the turbine comes from a significantly higher elevation, meaning that the system needs a smaller volume of water to produce an equivalent amount of energy.[1] These systems generally also require smaller turbines since there is less water flowing through the turbine."
Because many of the people who want challengers and chargers want horsepower.
I find it incredibly hard to believe that turboprop was ever on the table.
> MS will put some arbitrary restrictions on .net or some part of its toolchain.

I doubt this. Microsoft's monetary strategy around .NET for a number is years has been "look at how easy you can deploy/run/monitor your .NET app on Azure!", I don't see that changing to anything else unless there's a massive change of priority and executive leadership at Microsoft.
Move all the first pax to the boom aircraft and do all economy/premium economy in the 777 and you’d come out even in the number of seat miles available.

You could also upgrade a couple of the 777-200 or 787 routes to a 777-300 to get more seat miles to offset those lost to loosing a slot to a smaller aircraft.
That's quite the propaganda piece.
You are misrepresenting what WeWork was and wasn't. The way you put it above makes it seem like WeWork business model had no positive unit economics at any scale and only survived through VC injection. That is absolutely not true.

WeWork's value proposition in the beginning was that Neumann(or the designer he hired) legitimately knew how to redesign/refurbish what was essentially a lackluster, old office building and make it seem like a great office. That part of WeWork was legitimate and Regus did not know how to do that(Regus still doesn't do that, at least in Europe). Now their big problem of having long term obligations with essentially short term cashflows was still a problem, but the unit economics at that stage were positive.

What set everything on fire was the fact that when they were injected with enormous amount of capital they essentially ran out of bad real estate in the markets they were in(this was the case in New York) and started going into the deluxe office buildings, where a WeWork facelift wouldn't do anything.

I can't remember the exact talk, but I saw a talk recently by some VCs that basically made the very interesting point that in certain businesses too much capital that has to be invested will eventually destroy the unit economics, and the 2 examples were Lyft and WeWork.

But yeah, the idea that WeWork didn't at some point have a legitimately differentiated, valuable offer that wasn't due to VC subsidies is not true.

Everyone claiming you are wrong hasn't bothered to google. Literally the first response for "overture turboprop" is a series of articles confirming what you said.

> The Overture supersonic aircraft will be powered by three turboprop engines, which includes two that will be mounted under each wing, while the third engine will be fitted at the end of the fuselage.

There would be if it looked like the ones from the 60s-70s.
At 0 feet, you will end up with silt being sucked though or accumulating/clogging. Also, the intakes are likely below the stated level, but you need X number of feet above that for water pressure to turn the turbines. Either way, I'm not sure that a retrofit is a feasible option.
How did you control latency?

As for packet loss, this would be a problem as it means hw issues or misconfiguration somewhere.
Great article. The author mentions: "Machine learning models can now create text and images for zero marginal cost". Another step was just taken in this direction with TikTok launching an 'AI greenscreen' based on text prompts https://techcrunch.com/2022/08/15/tiktok-in-app-text-to-imag...
From Boom's Wikipedia page, they seem to have built zero airplanes which even attempted to take off. That includes their 1/3 scale "technology demonstrator" test plane - which was supposed to fly back in 2017.

I'll guess that American's "non-refundable deposit" for the first 20 Boom aircraft was pretty small, and came out of American's marketing budget. Or was a negotiating tactic, to help American get a better price from some real aircraft manufacturer.
