Airships would seem to excel, then, for short trips where you need lots of lift. Within the same city, for example.
Same here - feels very unintuitive to have to click the name of the page you're currently on to go back to the parent - feels like it should display 'Parent > Current' rather than just 'Current'. And probably respect browser back behaviour if possible.
I think it was 3 to 6 VME-sized boards. There was 1 Display Generator board, 1 Geometry Engine board (12 x Intel i860 processors in the RealityEngine2), and 1, 2, or 4 Raster Manager boards (for framebuffer and texture memory). I’m not sure if the maximum configuration of 6 boards could fit in the deskside chassis. That might have required the full rack chassis which had space for several sets of cards for multi-pipe systems. As for cooling, I know the full rack chassis had a huge blower. I’m not sure if the deskside models had blowers or more traditional axial fans.
Some dude did a whole series of capacitor linearity articles in Electronics World a couple of decades ago, with measurements. I should revisit them, but I don't have all the issues... but the internet gives:

This is not a very good phrasing.

Fizzbuzz as a predecessor to whiteboard DS/algo problems was different than my recollection, so I did some digging.

2007: this is when I first encountered fizzbuzz as an idea https://blog.codinghorror.com/why-cant-programmers-program/

2005 article linked from there: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2005/01/27/news-58/

That second article is interesting in this conversation because it's main contention is that the vast majority of any applicants to any position you're trying to hire for are going to be terrible.

Which is the phenomenon seen by others as well and discussed in Atwood's 2007 one.

They don't really talk about the Google style DS/algo problems, so yeah, seems like those became popular later.

But it suggests the hiring experience for companies has long been awful.

The sort of experience you had - a good conversation about a detailed relevant technical area - is something that I've never personally found common when trying to hire. Most candidates still aren't great if you're looking to do even moderately greenfield development (even if not particularly interesting - just being able to put together a decent scaffold of an idea).

Leetcode - the site - is an interesting phenomenon because it's full of problems far harder than any I've seen in practice at FAANGs and similar. Stuff I've encountered in the real world seems to fall into the Easy or Medium buckets.

After being at a BigCo and hiring some people who aced whiteboard coding and failed on simple everyday things, though, I certainly would never again use something like that as the only factor.
Imagine if he had cut an expensive headphone like a Sennheiser that can easily be double the worth of an AirPod.

You post this multiple times in these comments and can’t even be bothered to post a link nor summarize it?
“If you think what we've seen is the crash you have no idea what's coming”

Is fairly specifically indicating a dramatic change in market level. More specifically it’s calling out that the person expressing an opposite opinion is definitively wrong about the magnitude of a future market move.

I think it’s fair to ask at that point how the person can be so definitive “without a crystal ball”.

Macro hedge funds wouldn’t invest that way (at least not in my experience). They’d risk weight their positions based on a variety of outcomes, even if all of them are directionally the same, and then hedge their downside risk if they are directionally wrong.
THIS!

I want to know when the police agencies will start charging companies for abusing the police services.

Having to engage and arrest people puts officers in harm's way every time they make a stop, and when it is literally because some company thinks it's a profitable move to externalizing onto the police the problem to solve their management failures.
Also, this is why you (can) use diodes in log amps and ring multipliers/mixers.

The only real potential commercial use case for cargo airships is delivery to remote locations which lack any other transportation infrastructure. Think of building a new wind farm and electrical lines out in the middle of nowhere.

100% this! Had this happen to me in Germany, a scratch on the bottom of the door suddenly became a “we need to repaint the entire door”. I had been warned about this “business model” before I went too. I’m convinced they scam tourists with this scam all over Germany.
I currently started a basic iOS project with SwiftUI and it is just utterly painful to work with. I kinda hate mobile development because of this reactive roadmap shit. Why would anyone code a UI. I’m old now and I realized I’m getting resistant to changes.

I’ve read that the development of double entry book keeping was very important, enabling less error in accounting, then driving significant gains in commerce. But reading this didn’t explain exactly why. Is it just the simple sum rule that ensured errors in transcription would (usually) quickly be caught? I’d guess automated accounting services today would be less prone to such errors — does that mean double entry is no longer as important as it once was?
There is a trend towards turing-complete configuration languages, so why not. Of course there might be a race condition if the computation takes longer than the remaining time to the computed date.

Vacuum everything constantly and then horde it like Smaug, if Smaug was an unscrupulous salesman in a polyester suit?

> there's a reason Indian Americans are already the richest group of people in the richest country of the world.

The real reason is that their country of origin just has a massive number of people, and the ones who are able to immigrate to the US are those who have either money or skills that will make them money here. Same goes for Chinese Americans.

There is a source country with a massive number of people, and the target country (with a fraction of the residents of the source country). The target country filters immigration for high skill and/or high income. Just through the sheer numbers game, you get the outcome you described.

Of course, it is more nuanced in terms of the overall development level of the source country (e.g., this probably wouldn't work if pretty much no one in India was able to afford a computer or if India had almost no internet connectivity). But with how high the Indian level of development is as a country (compared to the minimum required for the numbers game to start working), it shouldn't matter.
I saw a meme recently that was like,

Gov: let me do X

Libertarian: no way! Big government is bad!

Gov: but what if I was a corporation

Libertarian: shit, that's all you needed to say

Really highlights how some people can think a gov is bad but if a corporation does the same actions, suddenly it's justified.

We should be wary of organizations as a whole, regardless of what form they take.
this (and the barrel shifter being available in all instructions) was at least partially due to the limitation mentioned in the article that the processor had no data or instruction cache. If single instructions could have these extra capabilities, the processor could do more work between stalling waiting to read the next instruction from memory.
There are a few differences between street gangs and the police. Mainly the police receive medical and retirement benefits whilst also enjoying near infallibility.
i think the back button behavior is intentional - at least on mobile.

if someone sends you a link to a piece of content on FB and then you use the back button it sends you to your feed, and now they have a much greater chance of trapping the dear user in their algoverse.

I dig the Netflix style navigation, I'm curious if there are plans to support arbitrary ROMs for classic games. Probably can't host them, but maybe an easy way to load one from local?

"The sins included:

- Digital disruption, followed by corporate opportunism, reset the value of creative IP and negatively impacted the creative process

- Agencies and intermediaries siphoned revenue from makers

- Data was harvested, sold, commoditized and misused

- Naivety and convenience were exploited

- Family photos became session bait for an insatiable ad model"

Sounds like these would be good to correct. I like it.
The link also talks about unprocessed meat. Just keep scrolling.
Probably because I’m not a lisp person but the syntax is just ugly and not intuitive. It would look much better as a yaml file and I don’t even really like yaml either.
DST gives you more light in the afternoon, people don't want dark at 4pm. It is a good system.
It reads like the “if” clause only pertains to the second “every”, but it also applies to the first. In this instance it doesn’t make a real difference, but presumably the Englishfier doesn’t know that.
Are you making the assumption that the structure, engines, fuel, and cargo hold are a negligible proportion of the cargo mass? Payload actually looks like around 20% of gross weight.

Not entirely true. It depends on the role the employee.

Employee who are officers or directors of the company, or lawyers for the company, can absolutely be held personally responsible. That's why it's common for employee's in those position to be covered by E&O insurance.
The concept would have more in common with the BART Transbay Tube, which itself is an immersed tube design, with a maximum depth approximating what might be necessary for a transoceanic floating tunnel: 41m (135 ft) below sea level, built in 57 sections.

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transbay_Tube>

That cost $180 million (1970), just shy of a billion dollars in 2020, with actual structural construction (not including tracks and electrical) taking four years (1965--1969). Total length is 3.6 miles (5.8 km), so costs seem rather lower than the 520 bridge.

The immersed tube doesn't float, which introduces additional considerations, but is similar in that components are fabricated offsite then assembled and connected at the site itself, usually on or just under the seabed or lakebed.

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immersed_tube>

That said, at $1b/3mi, a 3,000 mi link would run about a trillion dollars. It might of course be several times that.

Comparing to commercial aviation: Wikipedia gives 44 one-way million transatlantic flight seats offered in 2015, citing The Transatlantic Market <http://www.anna.aero/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/150603-conne...> At $500 per seat, that's $22 billion or so in annual passenger traffic, or a 45 year payback time based on a $1 trillion tunnel cost. Probably not a great prospect.
> Safe deposit boxes are still subject to AML regulations.

Can you provide a reference showing that AML regulations would require a bank to snoop in the contents of a safety deposit box? I've never heard of such.

In comparison it's easy to find references to banks being required to report cash transactions over $10,000.
I agree jq's syntax it doesn't make much sense for tables where the primary operations are filter and merge, but for deep tree-like datasets, which is what JSON is supposed to be used for, traversal and iteration are more important and the syntax makes perfect sense there.

I'd be willing to bet most programmers would instantly understand something like `.users[] | {email: .email, lastLogin: .logins[-1].date}`, even if they've never seen jq.

Now that I'm thinking about it, the kind of structures we often use JSON for are, in a way, a subset of what can be done with tables and pointers (foreign keys), so would it be possible to create a kind of jq to SQL compiler? Has anyone tried that?
I wonder how much money was offered. Or even if Jones gets royalty/"performance" fees everytime a movie uses his voice. I imagine old actors would put that licensing agreement in their wills, and their kids and grandkids would get to get to enjoy the earnings.

$700, where do you buy your cables, at McDonalds?

No, if you want to have really clear audio you'd better get one of those Synergistic Research cables [1]. For a mere $10.000,- starting price (6 ft, add $1000/ft if you want a longer cable) it will be as if the musicians are sitting on your table, eating your cookies and petting your dog. It's the Quantum tunneling which does the trick, see? They kick the atoms into the right shape using a Tesla coil and, being obedient little atoms, they stay where they're told. Or something.

Agreed. Never underestimate the value of convenience. If USPV had better hours, better tech, and was more convenient than a bank, why wouldn’t normal people use it?

It honestly sounds quite appealing to me - quick trip to a strip mall, access via retinal scan, in and out nice and easy.
Wouldn't you want some sort of access for electrical lines anyways? Maybe for components air lifts would make sense. Building those with just airlift capacity seems rather messy and complicated. Getting people parts tools, possibly machinery at each pylon...

Still, I could see parts of wind turbines moved. As they are large and unwieldly, but not that heavy.

Running Linux on laptops since the late 90's.
In the beginning I had to tinker a lot, compile custom kernels, etc.

Now - for the past 10 years or so - it (especially Redhat's Fedora) just works without doing anything, even with the newest laptops.

Wayland is not quite there, yet (IMHO), so I'm still running X11 (thankfully Fedora let's me do that).
If you hide the weather app's notification on my device, it won't update because it stops running in the background. If I leave the notification present, it will keep updating the weather.

I think you are on something. Tangentially I used to sit next to a colleague who was responsible for research software development in Python. The amount of necessary coordination in developing such software made the dev mental health to suffer. In contrast in Julia which I was already using at the time development is more autonomous as things just work together.
Before you bag on these guys, even though they deserve it, imagine the customer support issues...
Within a country - yes, if those kind of laws exist( e.g. IR35 in the UK). Between countries - very very unlikely.
I started off, writing device control stuff.

There's a lot of similarity between that, and UI work.

I trained as an artist, way back in the Paleozoic Era, and that gives me "airs" about things like graphic design, and data presentation. I've spent a good part of my career, unlearning that crap. I'm usually best off, leaving the defaults in place, if possible. I write about that here[0].

I think that UI needs to be treated as seriously as possible. It should not be an "also" thing. I think it needs to be the starting place for the work, and I tend to develop UI pretty quickly, in my work.

I feel like SwiftUI still needs a lot of fine-grit sandpaper. I have every confidence that it will get there, but I don't feel confident in committing any project at scale to it.

Tbh I don’t understand how that gap could be closed. It’s not like this is the first generation or career or field with managers and ICs; has it ever closed?
Electrolysis was an easier thing to handle, and some APIs would still have been lost.

Fission (process-per-origin) came later and would have broken many, many more.

So people would have still been pissed off at Mozilla (the difference between levels of breakage would have been lost), and Mozilla would still be on the hook for supporting a barely supportable API. Without the resources that would require.
True, and I suppose I could rephrase my cognitivie dissonance as not understanding (1) why there are only civil suits regarding Hertz's behavior, and (2) why the article so accepts this state of affairs that the absence of criminal charges only shows up tangentially.

If the FBI is violating people's rights, all Americans lose those rights. Whereas you at least have some say over where you live and your local police.

And, I admit this statement may be controversial, but you need police for a functioning society. People need someone to call if they get threatened or to deal with the aftermath of a murder. Without police, people would demand something that looks very similar to a cop.

You don't need the FBI. It's creation was linked to prohibition which we didn't need either. It's modern form came to be under Edgar Hoover who used it to facilitate Japanese internment, to "purge alleged homosexuals from any position in the federal government" (quote from Wikipedia) and domestic surveillance against civil rights leaders.

They were the agency that should've been responsible for stopping 9/11. Stealing again from Wikipedia, "government documents showed that both the CIA and the FBI had missed 23 potential chances to disrupt the terrorist attacks".

They do help convict murderers though. "Nearly every examiner in an elite FBI forensic unit gave flawed testimony in almost all trials in which they offered evidence against criminal defendants over more than a two-decade period before 2000... the cases include those of 32 defendants sentenced to death". [0]

Either way it shouldn't need to be the only evil left in the world before it's dealt with.

That doesn't seem to have a search feature? Not that a paper manual has, but flicking through quickly is a lot easier in paper than on screen.

I tried to find the answer to a problem I had and it's not there. I inherited an iphone where the side ringer mute toggle bounces back after setting, it's a mechanical error. There is no software "unmute" override - unless you use assistive touch. It took quote a while of wading through google results and well-intentioned-but-clueless advice from people before I found someone who revealed this. The manual just says assistive touch can help adjust volume so it is technically true I guess but the keyword "mute" is not there.

I did learn about the triple-click shortcut from than online manual just now, so I should thank it for that (even though it neglects to mention it needs to be enabled first).
The suggestions here are so not 1337. The whole point of writing code is to show off how much smarter you are. During code reviews, you can teach everyone else a lesson; you’re basically doing them a favor by making them read your 1337 code. If they can’t read your code they aren’t your equal.

Lame.
Dont cops have automatic plate recognition? Police are searching for a particular stolen vehicle, but likely find them when driving around.

Absolutely ... Windows config gets changed with every significant upgrade. The things I've carefully set-up get disabled, other things just stop working, and new garbage appears ... Windows is not a stable work platform. It's become an ad platform :(

And all the time, I have to fight the Microsoft way of doing things ... Worse the Apple, Microsoft push really hard to force me to do things their way. Eg. initially and after upgrade, it defaults to save everything on the MS cloud - NO, I have a perfectly good cloud of my own and don't want to pay MS extra.
Are you under the impression that the rest of FAANG doesn't do this? If so, I've got some big news for you...

When people talk about 'security' at Amazon/Microsoft/Google/Apple, they're describing audit performance and ISO compliance. From a business perspective, that's really the only thing that matters. Everything else is played pretty fast-and-loose. Both Apple and Microsoft have been caught backdooring their infrastructure for foreign governments, if anyone out there still has faith in these companies then I hope they stop taking life advice from VC heads.
