Okay, ultimate form it is then.

Next question.
It’s not misrepresentative. The sonic boom is the coalescence of the pressure perturbations caused by the moving aircraft into an N shaped wave. When that coalescence can be delayed or prevented, there is no sonic boom to be perceived by people on the ground. The amplitude of the pressure pulse is much less relevant than the time over which that pressure peak is reached. When that time is stretched, there is no boom. That’s what the research discussed here is going for.
I wonder the legality aspect of hosting someone's else code as preview. If this is a problem, I think you can use a video preview like any other award websites. godly.website is one example that comes to mind. IIRC, they have responsive videos and good information density.

I hope this comment is not taken as a criticism, which you have received a lot already in this thread. I myself use Next.js (and Cloudflare stack) in almost all of my projects and I feel very productive with it.

Just throwing an idea here: since the viewer of your website may need to copy other website's design, it would be nice if you can save them a few clicks/keystrokes by providing a color palette. One thing I learned recently from creating a personal tools like yours (with additional types, elements, motion pattern, and tech stack) is that we can extract colors from any page easily using CSS Overview panel in Chromium Dev Tools.

Lastly, I just want to congratulate you on shipping!
Is this really a thing? I had a .eu
domain for years. I only let it go this year(it was on annual renewal) . My registered address was and is still in UK and I never had any trouble from my registrar(eurodns) about the EU domain. Or do they do it based on the payment method? (I might have used an EU cc to renew)?

Although the hardware, the precursor, is more akin to a PDA than a smartphone it very well allows for mods targeting e.g. impaired vision, as the featured prototype of a braille keyboard shows.
I thought the 10 month cooling period to anneal the blank was incredible, but then I read it took 13 years to grind and polish away 4½ tons of glass to make it parabolic (originally estimated to take 7 years). Project of a generation!
I am highly skeptical of the idea that Russia is likely to invade other countries in Europe (with the exception of maybe Moldova). Even if we ignore Article 5, it is just not plausible that Russia would attempt an invasion of an additional country when it needs to "partially" mobilize its populous to even attempt to hold on to the territories it once occupied in eastern Ukraine.
4's are very scarce but 400's are fairly easy to find. They are around $80 and they are basically a pi 4 with 4GB and a keyboard. A reasonable alternative unless you need the SBC form factor. There is a $100 combo kit that includes a mouse, power cube, and SD card with the OS on it. I just wish they had made the keyboard include a built-in trackpad so you'd have a reasonable laptop alternative by just adding a screen.
Has there been any consideration for a pivot towards an overarching strategy of radical honesty and openness? I believe the open source movement and developments in technology support its implementation.
I fear this man has the youth in him many of us won’t discover and permanently fear we’ve lost. It is great that he found it though!
I don't understand why Tailwind proponents can't seem to see this, and tout "smaller CSS files!" as a benefit. You're still declaring the styles for every element somewhere. The client has to get those bytes somehow. That doesn't get to go away.

(And if it's just about "m-2" being shorter than "margin: 0.5rem" or whatever... I can't believe that after gzip that matters one whit.)
> And other metals are denser and heavier, making them hard to transport.

Gold is the 8-th densest chemical element, and by far the densest element know to mankind until the discovery of platinum and tungsten (slightly less dense, but very close) in the 18th century. I don't have a source for this, but I suspect that part of its popularity was because being so dense made it impossible to counterfeit.

We already know where "no you can't do that but we'll take care of you" leads.

An example is AIDS and other medication in South Africa. There is just no way South Africa could pay the prices dreamed up by pharma companies. But any plan by South Africa to manufacture drugs or import generics and provide them at cost domestically was fought tooth and nail by pharma companies and by the highest instances of the US government on behalf pharma companies.

I type a lot but not that much typing that pads per finger would be an issue for me. I use f keys for changing desktops (ctrl + Fx) and I use the media keys to change volume. The later I use infrequently and not having a symbol on a key wouldn't work for me, I wouldn't remember where it is...

You can still use layers even though there is an extra row of keys so not sure why to remove keys other people rely on.
Normalize asking for feedback in your team.

Then ask the team how to improve code quality?
I agree with the gist of this. After my initial "10k hours" learning the technical craft, my career progression as a product design engineer (I design hardware, mostly medical devices) has been driven by my ability to understand humans and their interactions with objects, not technical. It's important to keep up on the technical side, but that's not what drives good design and good designers in my field. It's Don Norman mind of stuff. I regularly work with long in the tooth designers, ex-ideo types, and they have a keen understanding of the human side of design that's difficult to teach and pick up quickly, it takes experience, wisdom. It's not about typing faster, clicking faster, or even deep technical details, it's the big picture stuff.
If you read the article, it’s pretty clear that she’s not likely to have access to millions and millions. Perhaps her family in Europe does, but as it says right in the subheading, they cut her off.
No, you can comfortably rest your palms on the wood with your fingers on the home row and you either don't tough or just barely rest the joint of your thumb on the fun keys. To actually press them, you have to consciously press down with that thumb joint (sounds a bit awkward, but really becomes second nature immediately). It's extremely comfortable and ergonomic.

Unfortunately the same will happen to us when Copilot 15 hits the market.
Why doesn't the naming argument also apply to variable naming? (I.e. shall we call everything "x" and "y"?)
Eh more like "open APIs as an accessibility feature".

Most open source software I've used has terrible accessibility, both for blind and sighted people.
This is a fine idea, but be _VERY_ upfront about it, if it comes as a surprise, even though it's entirely reasonable, a lot of people will be angry and put off because they feel they've "been had" if they weren't aware of it when they got into it.
This is clearly a propaganda piece.

Anyone saying it isn't clearly hasn't studied history or read anything by Tomas Schuman (1970-1991).

It's the quality of people.

Our institutions are reliable. Our parliament, judiciary, civil
services, while weakened by decades of under-funding, remain
essentially sound and held together by great hard working people with
a deep ethic of civic duty. Our electorate are pretty well educated,
active and dutiful. Our elections are fair and well attended. We have
a multi-chamber carefully segmented government with plenty of checks
and balances to steer a path between conservative and progressive
courses.

On the face of it we should have a model democracy and a prosperous
nation.

But "politics" in the UK is a seedy, corrupt selection mechanism to
find the worst possible human specimens and put them in power. It
rewards childish, irresponsible, petulant, mean-spirited, greedy and
corrupt little bullies who are vain, shallow, dishonest, weak-minded,
cavalier and self-obsessed. And I'm being charitable here.

The era of the statesman is over. No matter how excellent our systems
are they cannot function if staffed by incompetent hooligans.

A massive improvement to British politics could be made simply by
selecting the cabinet and prime minister randomly from the population
and then voting only on policies.
I think the problem is the 2 party political system that flip flops between the left and right with one party having full power. We need a more balanced PR based system that forces compromise and gives the smaller parties a voice. I believe Brexit and the latest goonery wouldn't have been allowed to happen in such a system.
The Tories won the 2019 General elections and a huge majority.

A big part of that success has been "getting Brexit done".

Inflation might be slightly worse because of the Pound but the main causes are the Dollar and energy. The latter is very largely caused by successive policies (or lack thereof) over the last 40 years. The UK has access to its own gas reserves and could be almost completely insulated from the current 'energy crisis'.

Economic policy is significantly impacted by Covid. There are profound disagreement within the Tory Party and Brexit does play a role there but this is not a desperate situation, either.
If you are going to do a proper review and wish to run stuff on your own you always risk problems with dependencies and environment itself.

You could solve this with devcontainer.json and using tools which support this such as Codespaces or Codeanywhere. In addition in Codeanywhere you can share the screen from inside the IDE, have collaborative terminal or code sharing with location following.
You could do it by hijacking accessibility features.
> Undoubtedly, but I can't think of anything that can show academic capacity that requires fewer resources.

I'm less inclined than normal to challenge your view because I know how much of an anomaly I am: I was headhunted in HS by several UCs (that I didn't apply to as I focused on CSU because of the costs) despite having pissed off my HS administration who tried to impede my graduation despite holding a 3.2-3.5 GPA but only attending for the exam days. The irony being I'd later go on to get honors and letters of recommendation despite detesting and being a vocal critic of this system during my time in University. And after graduating in 2009 I barely made into my field, health sciences, and because of my strength in physics I was encouraged by my advisors several times to take the MCAT despite having absolutely no interest in medicine.

But, the SAT system is ONLY the best option if only we accept we rely on a model that only have bad options. The amount sheer amount of rote learning needed plus defaulting to deciphering cryptic deductive reasoning with misleading questions as a way to show 'academic capacity' underscores why plagiarism, fraud and just outright mediocrity plagues academia. I wonder if having more written or presentation based examinations, like they do in Cambrdige and Oxford in the UK, would be best. The issue is that it doesn't scale at all and thus cannot be so heavily monetized as it is at present.

As a person with a BSc and going for my 2nd in AI and ML I think the notion of university being used as a gate-keeping mechanism for mos roles needs to be re-evaluated: the Germanic model has proven that engineering doesn't suffer because you don't follow the 'straddle your undergrads with immense amounts of debt in a cram model from 8th grade onward' which ultimately often fails to deliver for many since the economic down-turns puts so many either of their fields entirely or dropping out for all but a select few who get cherry picked as the norm.

In short, the apprentice model works best of all as it gives talented students to shine better than anything else, but because of the current status quo and Paper signalling that University degrees have become (not to mention the admission corruption scandals) this doesn't mean much for the majority of said 'talented' individuals.
I know lots of them, they typically exist outside the typical career politics, bureaucracy, etc. The ones I know still doing it do it amazingly well, and are kept busy with consulting and working for people they've known and met through their careers.
> Has there been any consideration for a pivot towards an overarching strategy of radical honesty and openness?

Unfortunately this would work only if we also abandon competition. Otherwise those who are not honest would have a huge advantage (tragedy of the commons).
I think the point here is that they are equally unnecessary, not necessarily equally bad.

Of course some people truly do depend on animal protein. Almost anyone reading this almost certainly doesn’t.

That makes it seem at least a little bizarre that we ridicule TCM yet continue munching animals on a daily basis.

If you’re only concerned about conservation then farming wouldn’t be a concern at all. It just depends on where you’re looking from.
This is piece of shit website is demanding subscription or else I can't read the article. Fuck off.
Exactly, on HN it typically means UI/UX. To me, because it's what I do it means physical hardware design, industrial design and product design engineering together.
This is my experience.
I don't know how you're using them, but they're the best $3 I've ever spent. Swat in the general vicinity of the mosquito, it's gone. They're amazing.

https://puredata.info/docs/wiki_doc_Images/StartHere/oscMult...
> makes sure images are only loaded when they are in the viewport

To be fair that can already be done in pure HTML with the `loading="lazy"` attribute. And browsers will probably do the link preloading as well sooner or later, some already do in specific cases.

NextJS is nice but after all the issues with dependencies and npm I went through I'd hesitate to use it for personal projects.
Hm really? They get sucked into the fan? I'd imagine that a bag a fair distance from the fan would be better, as there more volume for them to get caught in the draft.
I've used https://www.pairnic.com for ~15 years, and they're lovely. I've had domains expire several times, and they've never given me grief. They're small enough to give a shit.
I usually strongly oppose Big Tech's attempts of surveillance of private digital goods like cloud files, emails etc.

But context is important: here we're talking of the delirium of a man with serious mental health problems who spent half an hour ranting about Jews, black people and migrants, bringing back antisemitic conspiracy theories that hadn't been around since the times of the Nazis, and repeating that Jesus is the only path to salvation.

Why on earth would anybody be allowed to waste precious cloud storage and bandwidth to store and watch such disgusting trash?

Fingers crossed they add some to iOS shortcuts soon.
My register doesn’t allow registrations longer than 1 year. Their reason: “ We've found that longer registration periods lead to a higher chance of customers losing or forgetting their account details or missing notifications and ultimately letting their domains expire due to outdated contact information or expired credit card details.”

I’m wondering whether that’s valid and if I should find a new registrar…

There is this idea that the initial inertia to "get it" is the main issue, after attempting probably 20 or so MOOCs, had friends run over the basics a few times but not catching the 'spark' of engagement that drives you forward.

The concept is presented in a binary because of how spoken languages are presented. you are either "fluent" in a language or you arent. Knowing a few words vs conversational french is a discernable difference, while of course the process of learning is gradual, I believe it's partially referring to the confidence to use something actively.

"Learning to program" constitutes being able to interpret nearly any code in that syntax, and to produce your own working code without outside intervention that actually does something useful. This is all that is required for most business programming, so it's the goal. A question could be posed - Can you make a CRUD app in X without someone helping you, or at the very least pseudocode one?

People want to be in the yes camp to the above question
I always thought the mount for the palomar telescope looked badass, nothing against the mounts for other large telescopes, they are all engineering masterpieces in there own way. But palomar is this intimidating battleship gray equatorial mount, a very cool design I have seen no where else.

If in the area I highly recommend taking the pilgrimage to visit a temple of science like palomar, it is very neat to see the beast with your own two eyes.

The OP is not learning to program , he is just juggling programming languages.
He dosen't learn to understand the core concepts of software engineering . What he could learn better is by doing :

- Pick an opensource software of his favourite programming lang

- Set it up from scratch (no docker or GUI installer , build from source)

- Learn how it works by looking into the source code.

- Learn how it was engineered.

That would make him learn a lot faster and better.

If the kernel has locked your pages so it can merge or unmerge them under transparent huge pages or if you are using swap, page faults can take a really long time. People who care about async file I/O are probably already ensuring that these circumstances don't come up though.
You are complaining about a 20-30 seconds upload time. I am not the one joking, here.

1. Not all CS projects are equally hard. Many successful projects have been written by kids with no formal education. In the same way that some great music have been written by beginners.
2. Some people learn coding at 7, have a formal education up to a PhD and they aren't better engineers than others with only 3-4 years education. A reason is that a lot of time may be spent on things irrelevant for the job.

But then I agree that nowadays a few years education seems like a minimum.

Well, as long as there are people insisting on calling animals “protein sources”, instead of what they are (living, feeling beings) how can we expect anyone to develop the empathy required to see killing animals “for quackery” – or any other reason for that matter – as wrong?
