I participated (and won) this datathon some years ago. It was an intense weekend, but I enjoyed it a lot :)
I think there is some context missing from this;

The 5G band that was auctioned off is only one step next to the band used by radar altimeters - essentially a piece of equipment on aircraft that gives it its precise height above the ground.

Aircraft can and do have barometric (pressure corrected) and GPS altimeters as well (which are usually giving you your height above sea level - and knowing the height of the terrain you can work out your height above ground), all of which feed into the various systems allowing them to have an accurate height at any given point during the flight.

This is most needed when flying “precision 3D approaches”, usually in bad weather when visual contact with the ground may not be possible until the wheels actually touch the ground. Autopilot systems that land the aircraft fly these “approaches”, and thus rely greatly on their height, speed and distance.

These radar altimeters were mostly designed and certified back in the 80’s (or even earlier!) - and it’s a lot of work to have any equipment certified - especially today. Hardware + software back then was nowhere near as good as it is today, yet many of these altimeters still being produced today would be to the original spec from a few decades ago - which had a much wider tolerance or sensitivity to the frequencies, so when you have a frequency only a few steps away - a slightly older / worn equipment with perhaps not the best shielding will definitely pick up some surges from frequencies next to it.

Blame the FAA for their archaic and slow, near impossible process to get equipment certified. Blame the Aircraft / Equipment manufacturers for not updating their equipment with the times, but that’s on the FAA for making this process difficult- see 737 certification as an example, leading to the max accidents.

See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/5G#Aviation
We won't wear any masks. Why would we? They didn't do anything in this one other than their theatrical political utility.
The rollout of this was disgusting.

The FCC only cared about selling the spectrum.

The FAA only cared about minimizing the chance of any accidents.

Neither was able to look at the science, come to a compromise, and then implement it in a joint way. It took the carriers, who had just paid $80b (from the article) to inject sanity into the approach via voluntary buffer zones.

Turns out, single purpose regulatory agencies aren't great at considering matters outside their area of focus...
Doesn't java libs have a deq - a double-ended queue?
Providing an example would surely help your case. US schools are currently removing gifted education (which costs nothing extra, just has higher standards) or because they found that spending more on non-gifted students didn't close the achievement gap.
When you say very different, you could have just said skittish. "It's skittish from what you intended". Isn't that much better?
Some time ago on devops reddit someone asked „What is the biggest vulnerability in your system?”

Most common answer was „Developers”

It do be like that. Without proper automation and processes and education of ppl involved it can get really bad.

This is why there are so few growth-oriented startups in Europe, and so few chances to compete with large companies who can afford absorbing such losses. And (at least in tech) such low salaries, compared to US-based companies.

European economic model simply cannot compete. US domination in tech is growing each year.

I've been to quite a few IKEAs in both Italy and Germany, never experienced anything remote like this - there are always shortcuts, and they are often quite clearly labeled.

Is this a US thing?

US has public universities and college scholarships.
And, you know, students don't pay for college out of their own income from high paying jobs they got based on high school education.
I don't see why research is a bad idea. Research is a great idea and should be encouraged. Of course it sounds scary to modify the atmosphere of the whole planet, but please, at least allow some scientists to take that money, go away and run checks for a few years and present back what they think.
Yes, DOs have a similar approach. Plane is sort of like DOs but using containers instead of V8 isolates, allowing you to run code that couldn’t run in the browser (either for cpu/memory needs, or because it just won’t compile to JS/wasm).
as a corollary, watching the reaction to a joke is a way to know your audience.

Sorry to hear, that sounds like a real struggle. Serious question: have you considered giving up one of those jobs and home-schooling your kids with the time gained? There were quite a few articles about how unreasonably effective real tutoring (as opposed to exam tutoring) is, it's made me wonder how practical it is for people who aren't independently wealthy.
If you want to go a bit more hardcore (no AMOS-shaming btw), there's also an excellent Amiga VSCode extension written by Bartman/Abyss. [0] It has full debugging, profiling, etc. It's quite insane.

And it's probably a good time to also plug my 6502 assembler again, which has really decent VSCode support as well. [1]

UK ground rent goes to the private owner of the land though, which is mostly not the state. That's why there was a scandal recently when some landowners tried to impose a ground rent that doubled every X years - which the government has thankfully banned now.
That begs for elaboration. Why don't they fit you?
From my conversation with lispm above, I discovered that each binary SBCL produces includes the compiler as well. This is what is meant by incremental compilation I get it.

When I first heard the term incremental compilation, I thought of a process like going through the ast couple of times and evaluating expressions. This wasn't what it meant. Now it makes sense. You include the lisp compiler in each binary. For parts you cannot evaluate at compile time, you compile at runtime, just like a JIT.

In a 10 person company this may affect whether the company is profitable or not.

Which may affect if the whole company gets a year end bonus or not.

It's also insulting in salary negotiations. The company would rather piss away cash than give me what the market would pay me?

Reasons like these are why high performers leave.
I agree that version 1.0 is a huge improvement on mobile, and what convinced me to start using Obsidian. But I also agree that usability on mobile is still not on par with Apple Notes when it comes to navigating folders and searching. The way the desktop UI has been translated to mobile doesn’t work well enough. Would be great if the Obsidian team could spend some time playing with Apple Notes on mobile and see if they are some UI concepts they could imitate :)

This is just about the time banking became a thing in Italy. Most(?) humans would still be in pre-history. Maybe you could detect increased activity along the silk-road if you look closely.

80% of what personal trainers do could also be reduced to "talk therapy" and the other 20% is literally googleable.

Perhaps you can see how my example is an over-reduction that eschews the actual value of a personal trainer, and then likewise for founder coaching.

The main value is overcoming your own bias and limitation by accessing an informed neutral perspective. A coach isn't there to provide you with all the right answers. He's there to help you see the right problems.
Very insightful and interesting comment.
Thanks.
Huh? Why would the spouse do it instead of OP?

And why do you think having a full-time tutor is cheaper than group care at a school?
This solution, for all its problems, has the advantage that it can be imposed on unwilling countries. Short of coercion tantamount to war, you can't make the unwilling stop burning fossil fuels and use non-fossil alternatives instead.

Nuclear also isn't the best solution in any case, for multiple reasons that have been explained here over and over.

So the solution here is to go after the planes/AOC holders that have misbehaving receivers and to force them to upgrade to correctly working hardware, just like we do with cars. Even if your car is certified, it will still get pulled off the street if it misbehaves - see Dieselgate. And company drivers also don't buy the cars they drive - nobody cares.

> This sort of code isn't readable, idiomatic nor maintainable

isn't really fair. The original code is hopefully readable, idiomatic and maintainable, and if the transpiler does a correct job, who cares about the output any more than I care about the ugliness of the ASM in my object code when I compile it from source.
> Moreover, all the motherboards with ECC support must have in the "Advanced" BIOS Setup an option for enabling ECC, which must be used, because the default is always to disable ECC.

On both of my Ryzen ASUS motherboards (WS X570-ACE, and ROG STRIX X399-E GAMING) this is not true. I just slapped the DIMMs in there and powered the box up.

dmidecode thinks that the system has ECC enabled:

dmidecode --type memory | grep -e "Error Correction"
Error Correction Type: Multi-bit ECC

'amd64_edac' doesn't complain about being loaded on a non-ECC system.

The closed-source version of memtest86 reports that it's running on an ECC-enabled system.

"The [AFP] spokesperson said transnational organised crime groups were importing illicit drugs into Australia on an industrial scale."

"They are ambivalent to the misery caused by their product, its impact on our health systems, or if innocent people are killed in the crossfire of their turf wars."

We needed calculus first and the formalization of mechanics, both published originally by Isaac Newton. Once mechanics and their calculus were formalized we had the tools to logically build mechanical things and share the abstract concepts with others in our networks which promoted faster iteration.
As someone who knows Matthias, I can vouch for the engineering effort behind Archilyse's work. I'll admit I was a tiny bit jealous when I first watched their pitch!

This seems to be a solution to a problem that does not exist, but it is very fun.
It is a complete folly to believe that US Military spending would be reduced in the absence of petrol, in fact I fully expect the world to destabilize more as we move away from petrol which will necessitate the need for increased military expenditures

Further outside of Nuclear, energy from renewables is not cheaper not even close, and they have the unfortunate side effect of being non-predictable and subject to nature which petrol and nuclear do not. Wind and Solar are the worst and most expensive at this but as we have seen recently extreme drought may impact Hydro as well.

So we go back to the 3 Categories of person, I believe renewables need more time for innovation and are probably about 20+ years out needing not only more advancement on the production side but also needing some massive innovation on energy storage systems in order to effectively replace petrol, and artificially advancing that time table via government fiat will destabilize the world faster and worse than climate change, especially we do in the moronic way governments are today with things like Fertilizer bans, Gas Car bans, and other mandates that ban the use of some products / services

In the same way I oppose the government prohibition of drugs, I oppose the government prohibiting farmers from using fertilizer, and I oppose the government prohibiting people from buying gas cars

Government prohibition like that rarely work and often produce all kinds of unintended negative consequences
From my conversation with lispm, I discovered that each binary sbcl produces includes the lisp compiler. That means for evaluating expressions that cannot be determined at runtime, SBCL does some kind of JIT compilation.

I think this is called incremental compilation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incremental_compiler

Now it makes sense, SBCL requires a complete compiler embedded in the runtime. Runtime is small enough that you don't care for it.

Okay I agree that lisp can be compiled. You just need a clever runtime being able to dynamically compile parts at runtime. If there are lisp implementations that do not require embedding either a compiler or an interpreter in the runtime, I'd doubt their expressiveness.

Relevant recent ACOUP (Brett Deveraux) post: https://acoup.blog/2022/08/26/collections-why-no-roman-indus...
In programming, mathematics and physics, our goal is to express our thoughts in a concise way without introducing too many different concepts.

Applied to language, the word 'very' is great. It can be used in many occasions and is generally understood. What's wrong with that?

Atomic spectra are very complex, but not so complex as to cause confusions between them.

There is not a single absorption line, but a very large number of such lines, at different frequencies between which the relationship is not simple.

When several different absorption lines are measured and match the spectrum of a certain atom or ion, the chances of any other phenomenon causing correlated absorptions for all those different frequencies are negligible.

Molecular spectra are much more complex than atomic spectra and they have many closely spaced absorption lines, so there may be some confusions between different molecules when the observations are made in a limited frequency band, in which some molecules behave similarly, even if they would behave differently in other frequency bands that are not accessible for observations.

There is a lot of misconceptions about this.

> One of criteria is right to subcontract

It's not entirely true. Just because such right exists in the contract, does not mean it is valid. HMRC guidances have a ton of rules where it does not count. For instance if the business could use the sub-contractor directly.

> and freedom to work with multiple clients.

This is also irrelevant, because exclusive supply agreements is a normal business practice. Also people can hold multiple employments and that does not make them "contractors". People can also be contractors and employees at the same time and anything in between.

> If they get it wrong, they're liable for taxes, not the Contractor.

That's not entirely correct either. The client can claw the money back from the Contractor and very much every contract I have seen has clauses ensuring that any unpaid tax the client is liable for will be re-paid by the contractor.
Agree wholeheartedly.

I used to have this image in my head about Nietzsche as well. Disgruntled proto-Nazi, who failed with women and, out of spite, dreamt up the uber-man.

Then I read the man himself.

I actually think Nietzsche has excellent insights into the kind of problems that our time, especially, keeps bringing up to the surface. For instance, regarding dismissiveness, he said:

“What you cannot love, that you shall pass by.”

So I hope nobody listens to John Gray, and those curious will read what Nietzsche actually wrote, and what he meant.
This is exactly right. And this happens because it needs to load libraries or exec subprocesses that aren't compatible between versions. Since the matching version of the file has been replaced with a newer one it doesn't really have a choice, it is unable to launch the new tab. The nice message is a better alternative than crashing.

This also doesn't occur on NixOS because the new version is in a different direcotry and the old version is kept until it is garbage collected.
This exact comment was asked on Reddit some time ago - I mean the exact same characters. [1]

Nonetheless I'll provide the same answer; the compiler technology should be orthogonal to how it is implemented, so it should absolutely be possible. The proposal of using (monomorphic) inline caches is only the bare minimum to avoid crashing.
