I hate zippers and wish more clothes had buttons in place of them, especially the fly.

A zipper fly's rigidity and metal teeth are at odds with the flowing elegance of clothing. When seated, the zipper fly props itself up, informing others that I'm happy to see them, even when I'm not. The zipper fly is a liar. Whereas the button fly does not lie. It acquiesces to my position in honest fashion, whether I'm seated or standing.

You're mistaken in the same way as the person I was replying to. 'Precision fires' is a technical term, not a moral one, or a marketing term. Using the term isn't saying anything about the morality of how they're used. It means munitions with more-than-trivial guidance systems. A basic artillery shell as being used in Ukraine is unguided, and will have a target area starting at a hundred metres or so before it's corrected. A precision strike munition will be guided and will be aiming to hit within a few metres, so does not need observation or correction.
What kind of device would that be? I'd love to support it.
I've explored the options in Laravel and did an entire project with Nova. Based on that, it wasn't as straightforward of an experience as I would have wanted. You still have to learn the ins-and-outs of the framework and then also still define your editor experience.

I haven't done the same exploration for Rails gems. I'd be curious, which have you have used that take care of the CMS and admin panel requirements?

It doesn't change anything about dialogue around art. A human is still putting together "the piece." The process to achieve the end result is just commodified. Technology has been doing this since the beginning.
I've seen a lot of good arguments put to rest with a good test.

The key is collecting and looking at the data correctly.

I don't think people really like permanent recordings even when they're wearing clothes. One of my favorite things about the pandemic is the sense of anonymity in public that wearing a mask offers. Less likely to get messages like "hey I saw you slip on that ice on r/all". Instead you're just some rando slipping on the ice!
Animations in React with Framer Motion
When a tool like Framer Motion is available, why write many lines of CSS code to create an animation? Web applications look more exciting and beautiful when they are animated.
For me, its mostly around tooling/dependency management. In go, you install the compiler and you are done - you can create a project, add dependencies (directly from github/git), and ship it as a self-standing binary.

In java (granted I haven't done java for a few years), you install the compiler/vm, and that is what you have. You have to decide if you are a maven or a gradle shop (and install these, or go bare lib/ mode), install and configure the said tools. When adding a dependency, you hope its on maven central, but sometimes its not, so random git repos are harder to try out/consume. Then eventually, you build your project and end up with a jar file, but you still have to manage its dependencies. You need the vm to run it, so you need to figure this out (jpackage also needs configuring in maven/gradle). You need your dependencies too, so you also need to figure this out (fatjar?).

Maybe things have gotten better in the recent years (and I'm happy to hear how), but my impression is still that the amount of dependency management you need to do with java far exceeds what you need to do in go.
Not only is it tougher to book an act and fill a venue outside of a town whose economy is fueled by 20-somethings, but I think there is also a NIMBY factor, mostly justified by noise complaints. If there are any residential neighbors next to your pre-war warehouse turned-venue, you will get noise complaints... except in a college town where everyone is basically inoculated to that behavior.

They often do! Hobby drones, GRBL hobby CNCs, hobby micrcontrollers and SBCs, open-source SDR projects, etc. will often exceed the performance of devices that were ITAR restricted a decade or two ago. And "a decade or two ago" is a generous expectation for lethargic legislative, regulatory, or judicial systems to evolve.

Yes, in the 70s and 80s, it made sense to say that 5-axis NCs systems that can cut Inconel turboprops for ICBMs should be export controlled; those were multi-million-dollar flagships of the biggest and best manufacturers and were key to the country's military edge. Now you can get one shipped from China for a couple thousand dollars, with servo loop times, encoder and linear scale resolution, memory capacity, processor speed, axis counts, etc. that are better than the originals that cost a thousand times more half a century ago.

Today, it's true that the A100 is a cutting edge, shockingly powerful, uniquely capable processor. You can do machine learning/computer vision projects with it that you can't do with any other technology. Eighty gigabytes! 256 GB/s per package! Almost 20 teraflops of FP32! Compared to the GPU in the desktop you bought 8 years ago, yes, these are huge. But if you plot interconnect bandwidth, memory size, core counts, price, and so on, and extrapolate forward... yeah, your little hobby Kubernetes cluster of 2030-era Raspberry Pi equivalents will probably be at a performance level that's export controlled.

That's not really true. The MAX issues were in large part a result of trying to keep the same type rating. An almost entirely artificial requirement generated by the FAA.

In an ideal world Boeing would have said this is the Max, it's slightly different and you need to do a little training to get used to the difference. But that means a new type rating which causes all sorts of operational headaches.

Asymmetric Visions in PHP
i grew up in Athens and was in high school/college during this time (graduated hs in '83). Unfortunately I was not that involved in the music scene but still got to see some great bands.

The article spends a good bit of time on the B-52's but they were long gone to New York by this time and didn't really come back for public concerts until 'Cosmic Thing'. The popular bands that I remember were Love Tractor, REM, Dreams So Real and Kilkenny Cats.

The scene as I knew it from a distance revolved around a few venues. Foremost at the time was the 40 watt club. It started as a room off of a back alley (with a bare light bulb?) that had moved by the time I was old enough to go. Lot's of history there. Other venues I visited were the Uptown Lounge, the Georgia Theater and surprisingly house parties.

My favorite memories of the time were seeing PYLON and REM with about 50-100 other people at 'teen night' at the I&I club, I didn't really know PYLON but the show blew me away. Easily the best performance that I've seen. The Hillbilly Frankenstein album release party was wild and a blast. I also got to see the Flat Duo Jets at a house party and several times at small venues. Dex and Crowe made an amazing amount of sound for two guys with simple instruments.

It was definitely a fun time to be in Athens and I certainly enjoyed myself. In hindsight I wish I had gotten more into the scene but growing up there and being so young I had no idea that there was anything special going on there.

Shorter bits, but with an industry-standard diameter. You can use third-party bits.
Hiring for "$LANG engineers" happens not because it makes sense, but only because it gives non-technical recruiters something to filter for. This is one of the reasons why recruiters should not be filtering candidates.
You must have not watched the whole thing. There's a "ninja star" (they call it) which when turned allows it to store (fewer) standard bits.
Thank you!

My current everyday pouch has coil zips because I simply could not find a pouch with the other qualities that I'm looking for, that had an actual solid zipper. And I've had so many of these coil loop zippers fail over the years that I actually considered replacing the zippers before even using the pouch daily. Surely I'm not the only person so pedantic about the quality of their equipment.
IIRC I remember in Miami 20 years ago people with camcorders walking around. Some were brazen about it getting within 5 feet and zooming.
no, it fits standard bits, the length of the bits is smaller so it can hold more in its internal carry. there's a difference.
It burns and produces a toxic gas, which is kinda borderline under the CWC.

Also it's not meant to be used against human targets. In the military it's intent is as use to create cover via smoke. The smoke launchers on APC's and tanks are WP to create large areas of blocking smoke instantly. as opposed to what smoke grenades do which just kinda spill out color for a while.

Also, If it get's on you, it doesn't extinguish with water. You need to not only cool it but smother it because it will react and start burning when exposed to air.
It fits standard bits. The bit loader holds standard long bits, just 6 instead of 12…

>> One might want something better than a fixed subdivision of the Bezier curves.

In Solvespace we convert them to piecewise linear (PWL) approximations using a chord tolerance setting. If a straight segment deviates from the actual curve by more than the tolerance it is recursively subdivided. C++ code under GPLv3+ for that is available in my favorite file:

> OTOH, it is a nicely hidden subsidy for the train operators. Because for every ticket sold, they get to claim a certain amount from the federal government.

Well, if the government wishes to massively lower existing fares (including refunds for season ticket holders who already bought their tickets), it also needs to pay for it of course. 9 € per month for the whole of Germany is so low a price that additional ticket sales will never make up the loss of the regular fare income during these months, and in the meantime salaries, fuel/electricity and other operating expenses still need to be paid.
For instance, Nuvia had a license to design ARM server cores but Qualcomm had a license to design cores for consumer devices. We don't know the exact terms but if you pay the (smaller?) price to design a server core during development then end up using it it in cell phones Arm might feel they have a legitimate beef.

And it seems like architectural licenses are essentially all bespoke agreements with Arm rather than standardized so who knows what else might be in there.
Ask HN: A job interview you enjoyed?
There's a lot of material out there about terrible job interviews and interview processes. So let us flip the script: is there a job interview you enjoyed or fondly think back on?

Everything is fair game here, whether it was the process, the setting, the people, the format, a particular question that was asked or anything else that made this interview stand out to you in a positive manner. It doesn't have to be limited to getting a job in tech either.

>but its tactics are broadly similar to those of other conventional (non-guerilla) armies

You can always find terrible individual incidents, but the systematic rape, mass murder, looting and civilian bombardment by Russia is in no way comparable to the operations of any western army.

Take the murders in Fallujah after those Blackwater guys were killed, which someone raised elsewhere on this thread. It's an appalling incident that the US should be ashamed of, prosecutions were levelled against a whole bunch of the perpetrators but it looks like they mostly got off. The Maywand district murders guys in Afghanistan were properly banged to rights though and there have been plenty of other cases of US soldiers being properly and seriously held accountable for their actions. I don't have exact numbers, but as far as I can tell about 40 US troops faced prosecution for war crimes or abuses as a result of the Iraqi invasion. I'm not saying that's enough, but it's something.

Things like that happened in almost every single town taken by the Russians. Not isolated occurrences, but systematic slaughter of men women and children. Whole families, streets at a time in some cases. Tanks driving around blasting civilian cars and buildings, then driving off piled up with the looted contents from a row of houses. The scale of it is completely out of comparison, and I'm willing to bet not a single one of those Russians will face prosecution or censure of any kind, whatsoever by the Russian authorities. In fact they're giving some of the troops accused of war crimes medals.

> We haven't been able to convince the consumer that a website and app are not so different.

So don't! just build a PWA as your web front-end and package it as an app for the stores to distribute it (see PWABuilder - https://www.pwabuilder.com or Capacitor - https://capacitorjs.com). You get the best of both worlds, unified simple development and the App Store distribution model.
The problem with PWAs is they will never gain parity with the functionality of native development, even with WASM. Unless something changes both with mobile operating systems and their respective app stores, PWAs are a failure.

I do agree, however, that PWAs have adequate performance. Even back 9 years ago, performance on mobile could be acceptable, but you just couldn't overload the frontend with countless UI modules.

They passed the STOCK Act in 2012 ostensibly to combat insider trading in Congress but it's basically toothless.

They're still doing it. But in the case they get caught the standard fine is $200 and even that gets waived by House/Senate officials. They don't even bother to keep records on violators.
And just because it's legal doesn't mean it's right. They're orthogonal dimensions. What's your point?

Incoherent article rife with generalizations and appeals to non-experts.

0/10.
Okay, but do we need Golden Gate bridges, and do I need the next running water? I don't look at the world and think "you know what? We're missing technological solutions". I think I am basically ideologically opposed to the writer of this blog post. A lot of people just have this explicit ideology of "all we need to do is improve technology" but I do not find it convincing.

I would rather look at why we think we need continuous growth. What is wrong with a world where we make what we need, own it ourselves, and live on that?

Unlike Buffet, I am not convinced that continuous growth is desirable.
Well when you balance the new demand with energy efficiency for a long time...

The real problem is that the demand models did not account for a worsening climate at the pace that it is encountering record hot days. Though for that matter, almost nobody accounted for that, so it's hard to blame the grid planners too much.

John Hodgman says the difference between hoarding and collecting is a display case.

A display case limits the number of objects that can be in someone's collection at a time. Good collectors get to a reasonable collection size and then operate on something like a one in, one out policy.

Sorry you had to go through that huge burden. I had a hoarding grandparent (not anything to that extent). It was painful to dispose of as the belongings were filled with mold and everyone got sick while throwing it away.
it is a slippery slope.

The people defending art aren’t the artists. They don’t care about the sanctity of the annotation. They create stuff that people value and buy, it doesn’t matter to them if people call it art or anything else.

The people up in arms are the critics, the gallery owners, the rich kids who collect items made by people good at making interesting stuff. Because if art isn’t special, if it doesn’t have some deep rooted special meaning that transcends reality. They are not better than the sports commentators and shopkeepers they so desperately try to elevate themselves above.
This may be answered many times already but how do we know for sure the image produced hasn't severely overfit to an image it was trained on?
Solar generation in CA was peaking at ~12GW yesterday [1] (Control-F "Origin of electricity in the last 24 hours"), with natural gas peaking a bit more than that at ~16GW-20GW. The state can replace ~75% of natural gas fired generation if it covers its canals with solar [2] [3]. Yes, there is a supply shortage; California simply isn't creating robust enough incentives/reducing paperwork to increase deployment velocity (there is roughly 100GW of renewable generation in CAISOs interconnect queue [4]). Nevada, Arizona, and Mexico/Baja are also next door, and that solar potential is significant [5]. The sun is shining when AC loads are at their max.

TLDR Build more renewables, transmission, and battery storage; shift flexible loads to when renewable power is generating.
