What I heard from my South African friends who experienced the 1960s there, was a Land Rover Series I or II could be disassembled by hand, with hand tools, and nearly completely rebuilt not to speak of repaired in the bush. And it was claimed yes, they could be portaged across any terrain once fully-disassembled with sufficient manpower, beast power, time, and logistical train.

Portaging was not done lightly, as the effort was considerable, and the vast logistical tail to accomplish it had to hoof it back on their own with the exception of the handful or fewer who could ride onwards on the re-assembled and fueled up Land Rover. Carrying the fuel and bare minimum consumables for the round-trip logistical train (assuming foraging on the go was even an option) I imagine was almost as much of a burden as the vehicle itself.

Toyota does seem to have taken over this niche though, as Land Rover doesn't seem too interested any longer in the market these days.
> "well tell them we can't do it".

hah yeah i've tried that a couple times over the years, it never worked.

Another aggravating thing i ran into is in the industry i was working in (pharmacy) prices are calculated using a contracted formula. The pharmacy (my system) calculates a price and then sends the rx to the insurance company. They calculate using the same formula (hopefully) and if their result matches or comes out greater than what we calculated then they pay the invoice. However, if their calculation came up less than what we sent they'd pay their amount. It was a cat and mouse game constantly.

Well one very large insurance carrier had a bug in their system that under the right conditions would come up a dollar short for a very common rx. I understood what was happening and called and called and bugged them to fix the issue. Finally, they just ended up saying "we're not going to change the system. end of story.". It blew my mind, I was right out of college and too naïve to consider they'd just flat out refuse to fix the bug.
Those are like $1200 though; same price as Apple Watch Ultra with 5 years of scuba subscription; and have substantially worse displays, ergonomics, and smart watch UX. I went diving with a friend wearing a Suunto smart dive computer, and he couldn’t figure out how to silence the smart watch notifications because the UX was poor; I’ll never have that kind of issue with Apple device.

@danbr -- this is random but saw you are a perception engineer. I'm looking for someone that I think has your experience. Not doing space stuff. If interested, hit me up through profile.
haven't read all article, but few factors:

- swiftui for macos apps is slower (smaller teams at apple to optimize it, all focus is on ios)

- with appkit you'd use reusable views, and swiftui is having hard time with them

- with reusable views you model data on view presentation, whereas with swiftui you often need to generate view data ahead of time, for all views (so 400 views can take some time just for data formatting)

>I am a transgender minority and I get paid below average for my field. Probability wise you are in a position with more privilege then me.

You might be surprised, but even if not, using the "less privileged" card from a position of someone in power enforcing illegal and unethical mandates on potential and existing employees is not the best application for it.

>The problem is etiquette. It's sort of not good to put this in the job description officially so employers need to somehow subtly convey this employees that this is what will be expected.

No, the problem with doing something illegal (that you can't explicitly put in the job description even) AND douchey is that it's illegal and douchey.

"How you'd do this bullying coercion subtly so you get what you want and screw the employees" is not a real problem.
> That being said, I can't personally imagine taking the Apple Watch Ultra to, say, 80-90 feet if it's only rated to 130. It's just too expensive.

I get the feeling of it being too expensive - but technically? If anything is to be expected from Apple, it is to under-promise on advertised specifications, and at least here in Europe, under consumer protection laws I can hold Apple accountable for not delivering upon their spec [1]. The hardest thing with anything underwater is pressure differential anyway - old analog watches have a lot of air inside which is compressible, which means you need strong seals and construction to avoid the pressure differential to simply crack the case. A modern digital watch however? Space is scarce so every cubic millimetre is packed with solid incompressible materials, making it way easier to withstand higher pressure.

[1] Actually had to do that with a CAT phone many years back when I worked in construction, a simple fall on a floor slab broke the screen. I made a backup (back then, that was actually feasible because rooting was easy, another personal gripe I have with recent Android), went up to the retailer and had it shipped in - a week later I had a brand new device and a written apology that the product was not up to spec.
Absolutely. I continue to imbibe in increasing quantities despite the negative digestive effects.
1959 Chevrolet Bel Air vs. 2009 Chevrolet Malibu IIHS crash test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_r5UJrxcck

Sure, a lot of advances in safety were made in the 28 years between 1959 and 1987, so your car won't fare as badly as the Bel Air, but there were plenty of other advances in the 22 years between then and when that Malibu was made in 2009, and likely quite a few in the 13 years since.

It's a free country, so you can take your chances if you want. I wouldn't rate them that highly though, FWIW. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yes, all beaches and coastal areas to the high tide mark are public property according to the state constitution. Pretty much all coastal areas are already owned by the federal or state government and lava adding to it would just add to that.
I checked a few local car retailers in Ireland. First, there are very few SUVs being sold that aren't at least hybrid, and full electrics dominate the 2022 lineups. Secondly, the absolute worst I saw was a BMW X5 M. This is a large car by Irish standards, and is marketed for performance, not efficiency. It costs €213,000 as a result. It gets 18mpg. Most are in the 50mpg area

I'm not sure how accurate it is but the values seem reasonable. It hovers around 360ppm for fresh air. I can see it creep up if I'm in my office with the windows and door closed, and it spikes up if I breathe onto it.
Toyota does make seals (Koyo), bearings (Koyo again), and forgings (Aisin). Dunno if they roll their own steel, but would be surprised if they don't.
> It met the safety standards in place when it was new. And that's good enough for me.

That would never be good enough for me these days. I got rid of a ~20 year old car a couple years ago, and the primary reason was that it was so out of date safety-wise. Cars really have made leaps and bounds in safety over the past couple decades, and it shows up in the stats. I wouldn't call my old car a "death trap", but it just couldn't compare with modern cars when it comes to safety features.

We hit performance issues when writing a dataflow graph editor in SwiftUI [1]. We couldn't express the graph as Views and instead used a Canvas to draw everything. So, we had to do manual layout of everything, and manual event processing. This also precludes putting custom views for user-defined UI inside the modules. The performance problem had to do with evaluating the positions of all the wires between the modules using many GeometryReaders.

Correct. It's why landrover doesn't make its Defender available anymore. They can't fix the emissions to comply with modern regulations.

This was a reply to bombcar.
While the elements between strontium and uranium could not have been normally created in a stellar core, their presence is still not completely unusual, because most younger stars, including our Sun, have been formed from material that had been previously produced by supernova explosions, where the high neutron flux can produce such elements in great abundance.

What would be really strange is if the attribution to elements heavier than plutonium of some of the peculiar spectra observed there is correct.

While plutonium is the heaviest long lived element, with a lifetime of up to 100 million years, all heavier elements have a very short lifetime, so they should have already decayed since the supernova explosion that could have produced them.

However the spectra identification for transitions that cannot be reproduced in a laboratory are extremely uncertain, because there exists no method to compute them with high precision for elements with so many electrons.

So it is still possible that whatever has been identified tentatively as e.g. californium, might be just a much more common element that is present as a ion that has lost a large number of electrons and which is also in an extremely high magnetic field, so its spectrum might be very unlikely those that are produced in normal experimental conditions.

This will not be completely new for astronomy. At some point it was believed that there are 2 new chemical elements discovered in stars due to their unusual spectra, which were named coronium and nebulium. Later it was discovered that they are just iron and oxygen whose spectra have been modified because their ions have lost more electrons than it can happen in normal terrestrial experiments.

Unless I misunderstand you, I believe that the challenge is verified not by the JS running on the page, but by the RP (the website) server side.

Here's more about the challenges from https://www.w3.org/TR/webauthn-2/#sctn-cryptographic-challen... :

As a cryptographic protocol, Web Authentication is dependent upon randomized challenges to avoid replay attacks. Therefore, the values of both PublicKeyCredentialCreationOptions.challenge and PublicKeyCredentialRequestOptions.challenge MUST be randomly generated by Relying Parties in an environment they trust (e.g., on the server-side), and the returned challenge value in the client’s response MUST match what was generated. This SHOULD be done in a fashion that does not rely upon a client’s behavior, e.g., the Relying Party SHOULD store the challenge temporarily until the operation is complete. Tolerating a mismatch will compromise the security of the protocol.
Well certainly not the same as a tiny hybrid, obviously. But, to your point, a 2023 Suburban gets 20+mpg. So there's that. It also costs $57,000 and <hyperbole> has more computers in it than a small data center </hyperbole>

Or even use manual focus. Want to do "artistic" photos? Get lens with wide aperture (below f/2), it has very low depth of field, so you can focus on your subject and have blurred background. After using "normal" cameras all my life, I've recently (less than 3 weeks ago) bought cheapest mirrorless camera and bought f/1.2 lens (50mm without zoom, those are cheapest lens there are). First photos of my dog were so sweet I instantly fell in love with that camera and lens.
> I wonder if we can find an example of a function that is externally observable to a user, but that is guaranteed to finish.

I don't think the standard has such a thing, but if it did, the closest thing would probably be a write to a volatile variable. You'd have to make sure the compiler sees the variable as having a side-effect in the first place (so it would probably need external linkage).

Personally, I just want to take my dog safely to parks, hike, and drive long distances. Much rather have a newish car every X years with a full warranty and not worry instead of something that requires 'basic maintenance' I have to deal with, like my brake booster leaking.
When you drive a vehicle designed in the early 70's (this model ran from 73-91), the other car is the crumple zone.
I haven't dived (dove?) in 10 years. Last gen dive computers are excellent, but super expensive. Before that, I just use a casio watch and gauges. That being said, unless regulations or recommendations have changed, you still need an analog backup gauges that usually have 3 (compass, depth and tank pressure) + extra regulator. So even if the watch decided to die, you are still safe.

I just looked at the screen shots in the article, nothing that different than my old dive computer. If I go back to being a regular recreational diver, I probably would get that watch and app.
I'm a follower on the MS SQL Server Docker github repo... it's definitely a bigger issue for some than others. Depending on what the container/service does, the amd64 translation isn't too bad, it's the disk i/o that really sucks, which is being worked on/improved. Even then, more people need to understand in Mac/Windows how/when to use Volume containers for storage, not local/native/host disk directly, which helps a lot.

In the end, it'll get better... I'm happier with WSL than Mac, even if I personally prefer straight Linux.
NZs isolation policy couldn't keep out omicron. The upside was, by the time omicron showed up and started spreading around the population, most people were vaccinated, and deaths due to the original strain were very low (I think it was like 50 deaths? 150 maybe?). The country also had most of 2020 and early 2021 totally COVID free, so businesses like cafes, retail, didn't have as much of a shock
I am not certain of the language lawyer side of it, but no reasonable (or even moderately unreasonable) compiler would omit that check because of the guarded behavior; way too much code would break, probably including that compiler's standard library.

Jsdoc has the same issue as regular comments. It’s not the source of truth but someone’s hopefully up to date version of the truth.

Well, then you should always use 64-bit types. Using uint32_t instead of size_t on a 64-bit platform will bite you eventually. size_t is also used extensively and for good reason in the standard library. Code like the following is a disaster waiting to happen:

uint32_t len = strlen(str);
> What happens if, say, anti-Rohingya activists decide to use Mastodon to spread propaganda and plan violence?

Then everyone defederates. There's precedent for this; Gab is a Mastodon instance for Neo-Nazis, which practically no-one federates with (Truth Social is also a Mastodon instance, but I think it voluntarily doesn't attempt to federate with anyone).

This is the part I don't really understand, unless this app was completely developed out-of-house. How large an arena is this really? Are there really that many potential customers who are both divers and haven't bought an Apple watch? Is there some angle from the business side I'm missing here?
Capitalism has violent coercion at its core, in order to enforce its property rights. You simply think that that violence is legitimate and unproblematic because you believe the system it upholds is "natural" and legitimate, but at this point you're arguing in circles. But to say that capitalism is not violent is laughable.

You can easily have a stack without the special machine instructions (like push and pop) or the special stack pointer register. In fact, such special register is only useful in the absence of (a sufficient number of) general-purpose registers, which is characteristic to simpler architectures that have few registers (most of which, too, are specialized); IBM mainframes, for instance, never had the notion of the stack built into the architecture: to allocate a stack frame the program would simply subtract the entire frame's size from the current value in some register and then populate whatever pieces it needs there using the register as the base pointer.
Look for IBM Redbooks, also the "Mainframe" has 5 different operating systems, zVM, OS2, zOS, Linux (s390x architecture), and somehow I forgot the other.

There is Code in a multitude of languages even when it is not Linux, from C++ to Java, but nowadays also nodejs and whatever you want to run in that architcture.

Edit:

Basically, you should look for "System Z" which is the actual name of the machine, and "redbooks" the name of the documentation manuals.

That's like saying all bugs are undefined behavior. C lets you write to your own stack, so if you corrupt the stack due to an application error (e.g. bounds check), then that's just a bug because you were executing fully-defined behavior. Examples of undefined behavior would be things like dividing by 0 where the result of that operation can differ across platforms because the specific behavior wasn't defined in the language spec.
