Yes to both, with the assumption a unpowered landing is not a better option. The straps are part of the air frame - so the parachute more or less turns this into something disposable. Spin recovery is tricky enough I don't believe they have a procedure that does not involve the shoot.

A photo from the prop version, post deployment. You can see how the straps are embedded in. Neat system.

How fast can I do the least work?

React.

Never "how can I do the most maintainable code", "how can I write good code".
But then there's the problem that now you have two teams - ops team doesn't understand the app and app team doesn't understand the ops/infra side. I of course agree with your point that there should be two teams but you need a few guys who understand both app dev and ops/infra/OSes/k8s internals etc. And finding these people has been nearly impossible.
Thanks for that. The developer account I wasn't aware I needed.

I think rust will have made it offically as a language when projects get created for it where the fact that its in rust isn't the #1 selling point.

It'll happen eventually I hope. Rust itself is indeed a fantastic language.

These are good suggestions. I would be wary of picking something like styled-components upfront, though. If you're using something like Chakra-UI or MUI 5 (my personal favorite), they might use different styling conventions in their docs and you may just find it easier to use whatever they use.
People often do projects like this to learn a new language. Nothing wrong with that. Rust is being used in production quite a bit these days.
This is more conjecture than a compelling argument, in my opinion.
If anyone is curious as to why it is 10 years nearly everywhere, that limit comes from ICANN.

Network Solutions does offer a 100 year plan (and used to offer a 1000 year plan, but I just checked and that one is gone) but the way the implement is by registering for 10 years and then every year for the next 90 years adding a year.

You only really have the domain registered for 10 years, and you are betting the Network Solutions will still be around for 90 more years, and Network Solutions is betting that the price they have to pay for domains in that TLD will not have gone up so much that the total cost of all those extensions is more than what they earned by having your initial large [1] upfront payment invested for 100 years.

My recommendation: register your domain for 10 years. Don't turn on auto-renewal. Add an annual "Check my domain registration" item to your calendar. When that items come up each year either (1) add another year to your domain, or (2) check to see if it is near expiration and add years.

[1] $1600 for 100 years of a random .com.
ccTLDs do not have to follow ICANN rules. They are treated as sovereign territory of the country they belong to. On a ccTLD the registry can take your domain from you at any moment for any reason.

All of Ted Chiang's short stories are incredible. I often reread them, and often get new insights each time I do.
I was considering registering another domain for my internal services (I already own a .com domain) but I might end up use it as a public domain, not sure yet. The .one TLD came up in the list of cheap TLDs but I'm not sure if I should consider it. I've heard some email providers simply block the new gTLDs.
I'm so intrigued about Icarus. Interesting why people recommend to watch without reading, but I'll do exactly that. Thanks
that also implies forever hosting of content, not just the domain.
I you watch the video of a previous CAPS landing over water, the landings can still be a bit rough:

But obviously 10x better than the alternative.
Nucleic also makes Kiwi one of the fastest Cassowary Constraint implementations. It is very useful for implementing custom GUIs as it can make building internal component layouts and general layout systems fairly straightforward and it’s very performant.

I highly encourage taking a look at it and it has also been ported to a wide range of language.

I’m using Nim kiwi with my own GUI library now. I’ll have to take a peak at how enaml is using kiwi for its layouts.

Note that .com is a TLD operated by Verisign, not Google, and anyway what is at issue here is the domain registrar, not the domain registry.
Chase has two auth methods that you have to deal with:

The paper is in LaTeX and uses the required ACMTOG template (also used for SIGGRAPH papers); you can get it at https://www.siggraph.org/preparing-your-content/author-instr...

The inset figures are probably placed using the “wrapfigure” LaTeX package. It’s janky and frustrating to use, but I agree the results look great!

EDIT: Incidentally the template changed recently and people within the graphics community complained about some aspects of it, e.g. the equation typesetting and how subsections and lists are formatted. It's good to hear that people outside the community like it.
> The main principle is that the producer should spend 3x as much time on refining and presenting what they have done, because that will save each consumer a little bit of time and has compounding effects.

This isn't a principle, it's a specific guideline that assumes that time spent refining and presenting now will have at least equal returns later and that 3x the initial production time is the point where we hit diminishing returns. This may apply in many situations but it's not universally true.

The principle you're getting at would be better scoped as "think about the circumstances in which this will be consumed and make sure to take that into account now". If OP has determined that they are the only future consumer and if OP understands themselves well enough to guess at their future needs, they're entitled to spend the minimum effort necessary to meet those needs.
Wow, you're correct, he uses ACM TOG for the paper. As a scientist, I mostly just use the REVTeX packages or tufts-latex. Evidently there's a brave new world of other templates out there that I need to learn about. Thanks.

> as such, a forever registration would have to be a quasi-pyramid scheme where the initial users keep their domains only so long as there are more new users coming in each year than existed in all the past years combined

It doesn't have to be a pyramid scheme. The registrar can also invest the money, and use the interest as revenue. So instead of paying 40 USD annually you pay 1000 USD for the initial registration. 4% interest of that would be 40 USD.

>Add to this is that she had no real power throughout the realm.

It's in the Royal Family's interest that you believe that, and they have very good marketing. Unfortunately it is not the case. In fact the monarch gets effective veto power over almost any law, which they use to secretly negotiate favorable changes to the law, including generous exceptions to tax and labor laws.

It's simply naive to think that such a privileged and wealthy family, with such intimate connections to the machinery of government, who almost within living memory openly wielded genuine executive power and never explicitly relinquished it, does not still retain some of it.
>8. Is it a lucky coincidence that mathematical and physical reality can be formulated in terms of our current cognitive abilities, or is it just that, tautologically, we cannot conceive of any aspects of mathematical and physical reality that cannot be formulated in terms of our cognitive capabilities?

It's not luck. It's a forcing function. We make new words, or overload existing ones, to describe new things all the time. If we can see/detect/measure something, we'll come up with words to describe it, and theories and equations that model it.

We discover some new fact or phenomenon about the universe, and start to ponder.

Since we're always grinding ideas up against each outer in the background in our minds, at some point, that new bit of knowledge will mate up with a compatible surface on some other chunk, and the first person has the "ah ha" moment. If we're lucky they can then relate it to others, and the process continues. Otherwise, it takes more tries in more people, until eventually, we (as a whole) have extended our knowledge to formally include this new chunk.

I'm of the firm belief that given sufficient time and budget, there's nothing we can't eventually understand.

I define best as one I’ve been most surprised by with insightful learnings that have helped elsewhere (even if the topic wasn’t initially exciting).

- The Crimson Wing - i don’t suspect you’re into flamingos, I’m not either, by far. Yet this documentary has the most gorgeous cinematography I have every seen in a movie and equally artfully done soundtrack that triggers perfect flow and creative lines of thought/programming any time I listen to it. So watch it not for the content but for the vibe (great if you have kids too).

- The lost pirate kingdom (https://m.imdb.com/title/tt14057360/) Not into pirates either, but this documentary goes into how the democracy of piracy eventually spilled into the US constitution. When the British empire realized they couldn’t pay a navy to dominate the earths oceans, they commissioned mercenaries to do the attacks on Spain for them in exchange for the loot. The mercenaries recruited by giving a equal share to all participants on a ship (equity), which incentivized better than pay as well. They then self organized in cities and eventually migrated to US territory which eventually had its own revolution for independence.

- For All Mankind (not documentary, but alternate history based on more real NASA and JPL situations than any other i’ve seen)

I found these because we watched every documentary about space, nature, and history we could find with the kids so we could “travel” with our minds when we weren’t allowed to do it in person during the pandemic.
Hi David, thanks for the kind words. I still have the source for that I think, it was written around 1984 originally for a project of my own, then sold to Logitech, Zorland, and Borland (before I went to work for Borland). The Borland one was probably tweaked a bit - like you my memory does not include details.

There were 7 registers to play with. AX, BX, CX, DX, SI, DI, and occasionally BP. MS-DOS had no rules about frame pointer although later Borland would prefer it was kept to a standard use so that exceptions can be handled.

It would have run faster in 32 bit. Many fewer cross products for multiply and faster convergence for division and sqrt, plus just fewer registers needed. But updating the entry and exit code may have been the largest win. By the mid 1990s the FPU was moving onto the CPU chips even at the low end so the main goal would have been stability and backwards compatibility.

I wrote assembly code for many machines before and after that. In the early days such careful juggling of registers was routine. I generally wrote my algorithms in Pascal (later in Modula or Ada and by Borland days, in C++) and then hand compiled down to assembly. That separation of algorithm and coding stopped it getting too tangled.

Thanks for the shout out! These days I write System Verilog (algorithms modelled with C++) for hardware projects, and Julia for the pure software.
It was a cool job until the newspaper business imploded.

I have yet to experience anything even remotely close to the buzzing productivity of a newsroom minutes before the press deadline. Election nights were always fun because all the information was coming in later so we had to scramble. Obviously we knew about the time constraints beforehand so we could plan for it to the best of our ability, which of course usually fell to the curse of best laid plans.

I’m nostalgic for slower paced information flow and newspapers remain a near-perfect example.
'Bitter Lake' and 'Hypernormalisation' - both by Adam Curtis, and both blew me away.

We looked into it, but it's essentially impossible under current ICANN rules, which require that domain registrations have an integer number of years of validity of 1 to 10.
Vue is the sort of GUI framework I would've written if I had the talent to do so. Thanks to its reactive nature, powerful things can be extremely easy. Very nice if one knows what they're doing. Power can be misused by the less experienced but what can't?

For my Bachelors I was in one of these programs. You get some accelerated credit for experience and classes outside my major (CS) were available at night or on weekends. Many CS classes were available at night as well.

In terms of people talking about debt - I went to a decent state school, took one class a semester or much of it and paid as I went - so there was not much financial strain. I work in IT and am in a higher tax bracket after all. On the other side of finance, during interviews I can talk about my college experience if asked about it. Also Leetcode interviews and the like seems to be a test if I remember what I learned in college - dynamic programming, big O notation, how to implement a stack etc. So you pay in terms of time and money but you get paid back in terms of possibly greater opportunities.

Insofar as people talking about learning on your own - as far as I see, most self-taught people tend to have gaps in knowing more theoretical stuff like pushdown automata, or concurrent critical sections, or abstract syntax trees or Goedel numbers or second normal form or that kind of thing. You're supposed to spend at least three times as much time studying as in class, so if a Bachelors is four years, those three years are similar to self-study, minus things like the chance at the chance of questions during and after class and during office hours. So the only difference from self-study is not four years but one year, minus the benefits of classmates, professors and the rigor of a more theoretical curriculum than most self-taught people do, if they even know they should learn about things like the pumping lemma.

You might divide that namespace greatly. The one higher up the pyramid still isn't paying 100,000 whatevera a year. In the main the vast majority of users don't give a rat's arse about the domain. But they do have trust issues. Webs of trust can ease this. And relieve you from the scam world of vanity TLDs and overpriced digital number plates.

A project using Rust isn't a good enough selling point to me if the tool doesn't do what I want, but more often than not I find Rust projects have a level of quality far exceeding C & C++ projects.

> that process just changes the frequency of photons, but not their density in space.

Frequency is precisely the necessary thing that needs to be considered as an observed phenomenon that can have alternative explanations, since frequency relates to shifting toward red.

Are you saying that density/luminosity is an independent way of corroborating universal expansion? I don't believe that's the case.

Neither luminosity nor redshift seem, IMHO, to be strong enough evidence to uphold a "preposterous" (to use Sean Carroll's favorite descriptive term for the world) theory that massive things are not just traveling but accelerating away from oneanother.
I am not American and I consider America to be preferable to just about any other contender. I'll take the EU, but if China were to ever take the role of the U.S., we are all in big trouble.
Dear Zachary was written, directed, produced, and edited by one guy (Kurt Kuenne) and its budget was incredibly low even for indie film standards.

However, I can think of very few documentaries that come close to what it achieved and how it made me feel when watching it. Kurt put every fiber of his being into making it, and it shows. However, it's not an easy watch and I'd be hesitant to watch it again all the way through.

If you decide to check it out, please do not read up anything about it. Don't go onto Wikipedia or its IMDB page, don't search for reviews on it. Don't search for it at all. Just watch it.

I mean "crowded" is relative, but yeah I'd say we're crowding the planet. There's precious little wilderness left [1]. Livestock outweighs wild mammals by a factor of 10:1 [2]. The chicken is the most common bird, 15x the runner up [3]. Flying insects are down 75% or more since ~1990 [4]. The reefs are dying, we're dumping CO2 into the atmosphere and cooking the planet, there's plastic getting everywhere in the ocean.

Maybe "crowded" is a loaded term and I can see why someone might object when they drive through the countryside and all they can see is miles of roads and fields, but we're stripping the planet of biodiversity, and gobbling all the resources we can. We're shifting the planet is shifting from a biological system to an industrial one.

It's not all bad, and at heart I really do believe humans are the most precious creature here, but we're shitting the bed and spoiling our own cradle.

Many (most?) people like wallowing in negativity; it is somehow addictive. It really helps just not doing that, at all, ever. It takes some training to really force yourself to leave those thoughts, but it will make life a lot better. In my experience anyway. Took me about 3 years to really be able to do it.
I believe France is the only smart country in Europe (and maybe the world) when it comes to energy. They have built and still use nuclear instead of going all into green. Nuclear is a great bridge to when green energy is able to scale up.

And I agree, why Germany is disabling nuclear now is crazy, even Japan is looking again at nuclear, and I think they will restart one of their reactors. If any country has a good reason to avoid nuclear it is Japan. Why, Japan is right on the "ring of fire".
