My own experience is that buyouts have all the uncertainties of a new employer (and more) and all the baggage of an old employer. If you look for new jobs seriously and the buy out looks like your best offer then it might be right to stay, but most people stay from inertia.
Actually, I desperately want the software world to stay as far away from cars as possible. Even in a VW, I know I will go 100k miles with zero issues with most of the stuff. Someone somewhere wants to put javascript between me and that, and I hope they have a bad life.
Unless some government(s) steps in and dumps a ton of money into SST development and production nothing is going to happen.

The Concord showed this by shouldering the burden of research, development, prototyping, and then production. Turns out SS's don't have the load factor & associated economics to make it a viable mode. That revelation was before environmental and political challenges made those economics worse.

Unless unobtanium can me mined, tooled, and manufactured cheaply into airframe parts and power such as scram-jet or super cruising turbofans can push a plane at Mach 2 with 200+ seats behind the pilot, methinks its just a pretty artist's conception on a Pop Mechanics or Science magazine cover.
I don't know at this stage.
Interesting, although before buying it would be advisable to check how many rolls/unrolls it is guaranteed for.
Off the shelf means buying something already available for sale. Paying someone to develop something for you is the opposite.

Going back to the analogy from before, you can go to companies which specialize in chip design and development, and you can pay them to design a chip that will meet your specifications and make it in small quantities. It is economical for these companies to keep the technical staff and equipment on hand for this highly specialized work, because they use them for more than just one AI startup's need.

Perhaps an easier analogy would be legal services: every startup needs them at some point or another, but it doesn't mean every startup needs to or should build up an internal legal team. You hire the pros when you need them, and since you're not their sole source of income they can maintain a much better legal staff than you could every support internally. Even for companies where legal expenses are frequent, if the legal services are merely enabling something else then you still shouldn't be a law firm.

Likewise, Rolls Royce has years of engine development experience, it has the tools to manufacture and test prototypes, and it has the facilities for mass production already, and it uses those same expertise and tools for many product lines serving a wide swath of the aviation market such that no one aircraft needs to pay for it all. For Boom to acquire this same capability would be orders of magnitude more expensive than paying RR to do it for them.

The deal has not fallen apart because the development can't be done or because RR doesn't have the capability to do it; the deal has fallen apart because boom is unwilling to pay whatever price RR has named for it providing this service. Boom didn't decide to build the wrong thing, they are just unwilling to pay a required business expense.
With the Pandemic, and the death of the Queen, and several other events, we can now say that the beginning of the 2020s marks the true cultural beginning of the 21st Century. These times will look increasingly different from whatever came before.
In five years, I needed to do the latter only once or twice because a library I was using demanded a pointer to a primitive.
Forgive my arrogance, but why does one need a pointer to a zero-value primitive in Go? I sincerely believe there is a use case for it, but I never needed this.
Yes, but hallucinations aren't the main problem. Assaulting people and zigzaging on the road after just a few drinks is a bigger problem than having blurry vision and seeing weird colors. I took a shitton of psychedelics, I never saw anything that wasn't there.

Psychedelics never made me black out, piss on the floor/all over the room, never made me want to assault someone, or made me act like an asshole, but alcohol on the other hand....
You could still have a restart "from scratch" feature in the OS. But persistent RAM could potentially mean the power dropping for a few seconds means you don't lose your session.
Its not silly, for some psychedelics are fine and they can handle them ok. But others have psychotic breaks that are irreversible. I feel like SF is already a city that is very dysfunctional with crazies screaming at nothing, why make a really bad situation worse?

I think if you have to pick a base for leadership, doing the thing you're managing other people in is probably the best.

The worst in my opinion is finance-- it's like driving using the rear view mirror. No business has ever succeeded or failed because their accounting was really tip top.
There is no record of electrical car promoters systematically lying about their costs.

Electric cars were not, in fact, a practical prospect until lithium battery technology improved radically. It was not the prospect of electric cars that drove the improvement. It was cell phones. As soon as the batteries got good enough, practical electric cars started to be offered, cash on the barrelhead, what you see is what you get.

Nuke experience resembles this in exactly zero details. It is frankly weird you thought otherwise.

Hello HN! We are excited to introduce Friday, an educational search engine that engages in conversation to help you answer your question. We've built a tool that allows you to thoroughly answer your questions without ever leaving the context of your article, lecture video, code editor, or wherever else you encounter questions (so, everywhere!)

We're really excited to see what you all think of Friday! Please share your thoughts - we really appreciate your feedback!
Even many non-Brits shared that respect and admiration.

In 70 years, the number of gaffes/crises linked to her person (rather than other members of her family) are few, perhaps the only dents were the Diana incident and the secret influencing of the law by the crown ("royal consent" and "royal assent" - e.g. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/feb/08/royals-vette...).
They add so much noise to the picture, too. It can take over a minute to solve a single captcha. The funny thing is that by doing this, they're punishing the poor offshore workers I hired to solve captchas for me in the first place.
Here's an analogy: in a democracy, first-past-the-post voting is, in a vacuum, about the worst voting system that exists. But the reason that it was adopted in so many places is because it has one advantage: its sheer, utter, bone-headed simplicity. In a context where most constituents are illiterate and unfamiliar with the notion of democratic government, it behooves you to pick the simplest solution that can possibly work, even if it leads to worse results than more complex systems.

Hereditary absolute monarchy is the same thing, but for selecting heads of state. Who's in charge? The guy with the biggest army. What powers does he have? All of them. Who succeeds him when he dies? His firstborn. It's dead simple to implement, which made it an attractive solution in times before any semblance of mass communication. But in practice it means the quality of your head of state is totally detached from their actual talent at serving as head of state: the first guy in line was just good at leading an army, and the rest of his descendants are just randos who won the birth lottery. It's not a good solution unless you're willing to make loads of sacrifices in order to have the simplest system possible.

(And yes, of course, the UK is not currently an absolute monarchy, but you appeared to be asking in a general sense.)
Tesla’s profit margin is higher than most of automakers. So no, EVs made by traditional automakers are not cheaper. If anything that means Tesla’s cars are more desirable because they can command a premium.

Faster? What is that supposed to mean? Tesla is the largest EV maker by volume (not sure if I miss any Chinese ones).

Substantial better build quality? Define substantial. Who decide that? Certainly not the consumers, because they can’t get enough of Tesla cars.
There's [Hackerweb](https://hackerweb.app/) which uses the HN API and does some clever stuff delegating to a webview.
Yeah, I've been trying to figure out what the issue is there. Seems like ironically it is "randomly" not randomizing.

We definitely made sure to credit - each story is hyperlinked below as you swipe through each one.
Sorry, but what? The top features they highlight here are a print statement that adds a new line, a change to the bonkers default of creating some kind of implicit global named variable every time you open a file, representing time as an object (with a strftime function!) and… function signatures?

I wouldn’t call this as “Perl moving forward”, I’d call this “Perl is still about 20 years behind everyone else”.

Wait until they find out that other languages print statements let you customise the line ending!
Amazon wants to keep some leverage against Google by having data Google doesn’t know about regarding who is buying what. So amazon don’t include product info in gmail invoices since that gives the data to Google.

amazon is not worried about fastmail selling the data to Google, so amazon is willing to include product info in emails to fastmail addresses.

That’s the conspiracy theory, anyways :)
This 1998 paper discusses the gap between Computer Science (theoretical and mathematical foundations) and everyday practical programming.

Here are some extracts from the paper:

> CS (Computer Science) emphasis is placed upon theoretical and mathematical foundations of computing, while IS (Information Systems) concentration focuses on pragmatic applications and business uses of computers. Each of these
sub-disciplines has little use for the other.

> Computer scientists denigrate the inelegant nature of the typical COBOL or spreadsheet business application, while information systems specialists decry the inability of the computer scientist to communicate effectively with users.

> It’s probably a dangerous oversimplification to call CS adherents theorists and IS advocates practitioners, but as long as we remember the importance of both areas, as highlighted by the following paraphrased words of adult education specialist Dugan Laird, we can make use of the above terms: Theory without practice is mere speculation, while practice without theory is only anecdote.

Is Computer Science too distant from practice? Although this paper is from 1988, it's concerns are still relevant. I can recommend the following YouTube interview with Charles Severance (Dr Chuck) the instructor for the massive popular Coursera course: Python for Everyone from the University of Michigan (from the School of Information, not from the Computer Science division). It’s a fascinating discussion.

Single Ruler for life is still a monarch. The Pope is a monarch in Vatican.

Monarchy is not necessary hereditary. And replacing monarch with sovereign, doesn't change the fact that it's a monarchy.
I like to expand the though "strong leadership from the top will always be optimal" with what it's optimizing for. It has benefits for speed and specificity; as long as the chains of communication are open and clear, what the group should be doing is easy to understand. That's much muddier in a distributed leadership system.

And, of course, that centralization carries good and ill. At different points in time, it can be detrimental to centralize authority so. But even countries like the United States, which generally pride themselves on decentralized democratic rule, have various emergency powers abilities for wartime consolidation of authority behind the Executive (and President specifically).

Apart from that note, I agree with everything here.
In theory. But theory and practice are different things.

> From my read of the scientific literature, most situations like the ones you describe are at least partially caused by underlying disorders that pre-existed (and manifested).

Do you have a qualifying medical certificate and professionally diagnosed my friend? The answer is no. So don't try to down play a serious incident you have ZERO knowledge of.

> And the second one you describe is a pretty common story to be told (same rumor at my college).

When my teacher told us the story she was quite emotional and serious. It could be a well intentioned lie to discourage "drug use" but again, you have no way of knowing the truth so knock it off.
It is effectively a free trial of the course, which seems fine as long as it is disclosed upfront that the rest of the content is paid.

Most groceries chain already offer deliveries just not under 10min. And looking at it Uber eats partner with some of them to offer a similar service.

And in the article they specifically mention dark stores replacing grocery shops so I doubt it creates "thousand of jobs" ...

This is the "everyone who disagrees with me is a Nazi" problem.

Evangelicals are distinct from cults. You may dislike both, in the same way you can dislike peanut butter and chocolate, but that doesn't mean they are the same or identical.

I don't think that's a problem here. There are three options, function(val), function(valA)(valB), and function()(val).

I read the manual once this morning before coffee and I know which vals are read only and which are writeable. I've never written a line of Blech.

That's pretty good design if you ask me.

She succeeded her father, George VI, if that's what you meant.
Mozilla worked with some researchers to analyze a bunch of degenerate cases like that and basically the answer is 'no', that the CRLite paper's calculation of an optimal false positive rate per layer works out quite well.

What does happen in CRLite is that you can't keep shipping the tiny "stash" updates to clients, you have to mint a whole new .mlbf filter file, which is about a megabyte. [Edit:] Then you can resume the "stash" updates from there, but the ecosystem 'shock' requires a regeneration of the filter.

(There was supposed to be a blogpost on the Mozilla blog from the research teams; I don't know if it was ever written.)
I'd actually pay good money for this. As my vision gets worse and worse, I've had to go to smaller monitors so that I could see the whole thing in focus at once. If I could get a large, curved monitor that I could adjust so every portion was an equal distance from my eyes, that'd be a big win.

Positivity does not need to be empty, nor does disallowing a certain amount of negativity imply an encouragement of emptiness.
That’s unfair to the vast majority of Brit’s.

Scots, welsh, the entire north of England, the working class all don’t feel that way.

If fact there’s probably only a small percentage of traditional elites who feel that way.
There're some extra features (e.g. bookmarks) that utilize scripting and data storing. So a userstyle wouldn't cut it. A user script though would. Also privacy-wise I think there isn't a way to limit an extension to a single site, something possible with a user script.
this seems like quite a contradictory position to take. royalty is undemocratic, but you lost respect for them when they chose not to use their unearned power to interfere with the actions of democratically elected officials?

are there not better reasons to not respect the monarchy?
I think there’s a trend to replace applications having information-dense designs with all actions at your fingertips with ones that add so much padding that you can only see a little bit of information at a time and in order to perform any action, you have to hover or click several times.
> Also note that now we've gone from "Doesn't [go] provide compile time check for errors?" to "Well I guess it doesn't check that errors are used, but that would never happen to me."

True, but there was also a "you are right" in between :)
Thrown errors are always of type unknown, so you have to assert them back into a known type.

Or throw caution to the wind and arbitrarily cast them to a type of your choosing, but that never ends well. A robust and maintainable system can’t reasonably do that.
Unsubstantive ≠ unsubstantiated.
I love Ada, but the tooling is hell. Alire is a great start for a package manager, but it's still clunky and parallel projects like the ada language server still don't build with it for some reason.
Very true! I do the same thing myself, since I prefer the sapphire crystal for durability (solar is not available on that one). I can see how it would be very useful for someone who's on an ultralight type of thing where they may not even have a cell phone.
In that case, I don't think your metric works at all, since legitimate users will increase it, but attackers won't. During an attack it will either remain the same, or even go down as fewer legitimate users manage to connect.

This attack is the QUIC equivalent of a SYN flood, which results in half-open connections, because the attacker is unable to complete the connection by responding to message the server sends. RequireAddressValidation corresponds enabling syn cookies.

Unfortunately I don't use caddy myself, and don't have time to get involved deeper in improving this.
I don't understand people who like to point out the planting trees is not always as green as people think it is. Planting trees is always good in my book. We can plant trees and do the better thing.

YouTube More Likely to Direct Election-Fraud Videos to Users Already Skeptical
Well I don't know who are those people. Reasonable people would think Google would not let employees simply re-writing major chunk of existing code for production services in Go. So tons of huge projects in C++/Java/Dart will remain in same languages unless the product itself is sunset. Even then also Go will not be used to write OS kernel, device drivers and such.

So where ever else Go is used it is decent enough.
This growing fad of partial "psychedelic decriminalization" initiatives covers only plant-based ones, which is ridiculous.

Ingesting shrooms are harder to dose than a hit or two of acid. Eating the weight equivalent of one cap or stem can be a completely different experience, from the same spores. This will make the gradual path to full legalization even harder because people aren't trying things that are more easier to dose.

There is no good reason why non plant based drugs like LSD, MDMA and Ketamine are not included so we could really call this a true psychedelic decriminalization measure.
There's basically a single meaningful Evangelical cult in the US and it is mostly genealogical (ergo tiny). They also have a big population center in Mexico oddly enough (or did a few years ago, but there was a cartel massacre of them so they may have left).
Imagine thinking you have freedom when you can't decide what to put in your own body.

To start hallucinating? Sure.

To engage in dangerous behavior? Hardly.

That said, alcohol is a lot more predictable in its effects for a given dosage. And also the dosages are a lot more reliable. There's a reason it's perceived "not as bad" as hallucinogenic drugs.
that sounds very reasonable, thx

Same, that's one of the biggest reasons - but I also agree with the rest of your list: what I like the most in Windows is the UI! I run most of my programs fullscreen, with shortcuts. I rarely use the mouse, and Windows plays along, while I have to fight other systems.

Even when run baremetal, Windows has improved so much over the board that once you add RDP/VNC, it's a no brainer.
He's also a big proponent of quack medicine such as homeopathy, which isn't great IMO.
there is something that harkens to our mortality when we witness something come to an end. I remember having some reactions to businesses failing and closing shop that I encountered as a youth. They always seemed and appeared so permanent. A place we'd always go to or pass by. Then the years go by and after encountering enough mainstays that had their heyday go under you realize that sentiment of durability and a perpetual landmark were never warranted in the first place and its kind of jarring and unsettling to realize how much flux there is in life.
Decriminalization is different than legalization. It likely will not help any US or scientific research.

HN would be a complete shit show without dang. What you call "heavy handedness" is what I call the most appropriate, fair minded guidance to keep threads from turning into flamewars.

I've been warned by dang before, and when I was, after I took a minute to cool down from what I was responding to, I realized he was exactly correct. I'd encourage y'all to do the same - the parent's comment that there is "a requirement that we do not speak ill of that monarchy" is a gross, and honestly annoyingly incorrect, mischaracterization of what dang said.

To be honest, many other languages have a lot of users that are quite unsatisfied with it, despite using it regularly (Java comes to mind). The fact that most of the people who use Go are happy with it isn't that insignificant.
