Rocket books are written by scientists, not economists or MBAs. Elon Musk's major innovation with SpaceX was to look at it from a business & economic angle rather than the angle of scientists or millitary industrial complex which thrives on Cost Plus contracts.

It turns out fuel cost rarely exceeds 10% of the cost of launch even with the tyranny of rocket equation. Traditional expendable rockets (including SLS) essentially throw away 90% of the cost of each launch - hence the push by SpaceX to some of the fuel to try and land the first stage.
I am not sure why you think he threw it away. Whatever he says on social media is irrelevant for the progress he made with SpaceX. That will change how we do space exploration. His twitter feed is going to change how we (the people who read his twitter) think about him. The former is much more important than the latter.
Farty Slow Horses Oldman could have pulled off a good Smiley, too. But 2011 Oldman? The same year he did Deathly Hallows? Not a chance. Smiley not being like 2011-era Gary Oldman is one of his most important character traits. Also: Toby Jones is fantastic and it would have been great to see more of him.

It was a good movie and true in all other respects to the book.
The strategy is more about getting a first mover's advantage. Companies believe the metaverse is inevitable and they believe that it will become a big part of the everyday person's life. These companies want to be key players in this space.

Look at the open ecosystem of the web and think about how much money ICANN and Verisign make from their DNS. Anyone can make their own independent DNS (see projects like namecoin), but ICANN's has a big first mover's advantage that makes it hard to compete with them.
I don't know what you're talking about, but I've never had any mouse wheel issues on Linux, when I dual booted daily so it had plenty of chances to compare. In fact I made sure I had the exact same mouse speed on both OS.

My wheel doesn't scroll a line at a time, and there are three acceleration modes for the pointer-default,adaptive and flat.

I keep hearing people complaining about Linux with the weirdest problems ever.
'second biggest industrial power' assume this is a joke. Poor quality: anything that was made was so bad, this habit is still alive and even russians hate their own products.
Stealing: ancient car designs and engineering is good example. And as you know it never improved.
Millions of lives were taken to achieve nonsense goals, people were starved, frozen, deprevated from food. What kind of human you have to be justify that? Well, but it didn't touch you or your family, so it's fine. Lets continue glorifying crazy stuff, we're just engineers, right?
I may not be following your point, but I don't believe the root cause of this issue was a race condition, or anything that might be related to concurrency.

The fundamental cause AFAIK was a SQLite connection was attempting to make a state transition (from one type of locking state to another) which shouldn't be allowed under certain circumstances, but the implementation didn't actually enforce this rule. So the added test really does test the root cause.
As long as it works the first time and everyone on the team is fine installing a local Redis - there is very little problem. If the code doesn't make assumptions about read-after-write consistency for jobs. There will be "problems" (or - rather - things you will find out you haven't accounted for) when, for example, an improper URL is used and your Redis fails over. Or you do not have a replica configured (someone decided to "let's save some budget of team XYZ and is this really necessary it is transient after all"). Or you started using something that saturates your Redis. Or that you haven't configured alerting on Redis metrics...

It's all normal stuff, by a long shot not the end of the world, but it is stuff that you need to do, and it is more stuff, and it can bite you if you come unprepared and "just clicked a few instances into existence last year".
Thought of one - Nethack and friends.
It is also my preferred OS. It’s familiar and everything I need is there. I don’t need a Unix command line as I prefer an OO shell and I’ve never once have had to interact with the underlying kernel for any programming that I do.

I ran Fedora for 4 years and it was a mess of gnome crashing due to memory leaks or trying to find a hacky way of getting some program installed that I needed. Sacrificing real outlook and office applications only hurt my ability to do my job as well.
I'll be the first to hate on C++, but the only reason C++ might be considered a "don't learn it as a first language" language, is because it's huge. It's got 40 years worth of baggage, and it's "standard" libraries are an absolute mess. Javascript has a super simple syntax, and it's standard libraries though sometimes a bit idiosyncratic are comparatively clean and pragmatic.

If you just removed like 90% of C++'s useless standard library, and restricted the syntax to purely what's in Strousup's "Tour of C++" book, then I'm pretty sure that would be a pretty acceptable "learn it as a first language" language. Of course in that imaginary world C++ would also not have been deprecated by Rust.

But a 747 needs continued fuel to keep going whereas once on target a spacecraft can use its initial velocity to travel much much further.
He used it in the "Tackling the Awkward Squad" talk from 2001[0], so it's been a long time.

her

The film is called "her", it's such a small title I feel I should make that explicit.

I haven't actually seen the movie, and it looks like it might be a little cringe worthy (it has good reviews though), but from what I've seen and heard of the film it seems quite prophetic. Especially given what we've seen from ChatGTP lately. There was a post of ChatGTP acting as a therapist of-sorts, and it was surprisingly good at it, and the prospect of falling in love with computer personalities seems likely.

The film also appears to highlight the problems of modern society and how it is difficult to maintain real human connections.

The film is also unique because it looks at what happens if we achieve strong AI, and we control it and everything goes well and as expected. That might sounds like a boring utopia at first, but the truth is there's lot of problems society will face even if the machines don't try to destroy us.
As well as rocket engines like RD-8.
More battle tested, widely used, robust and overall just better frameworks and libraries for Web Dev and a bigger community, also specifically focused on web. That’s my bet.
The new Pinocchio! Admittedly watched it with AI on the brain, but if you think about it Pinocchio is an Artificial Intelligence with a lying problem, much like GPT. The whole story then explores his journey to become more like a real boy.

> for-profit crap

And of course we all know that making something for profit means it's bad.
Yes, this is true. Also, one hell of a lot of luck is needed. I know this goes against most peoples' grain, but it is true. For example, Bill Gates agreed with it. He said that his high-end schools had computers or computer time available for him. He was able to get together with other computer buffs. This would not have happened if he was in a school where this didn't exist, or he went to a school in South side of Chicago in the baddest part of town.

His father was a name partner in a law firm, so Gates got all his legal advice for free, probably including leasing his software rather than selling it, which had huge ramifications.

His mother was on the board of directors of United Way with IBM's CEO, and she hooked up Bill Gates with the CEO and Bill Gate's software was on IBM's PC.

IBM tried to get a PC operating system and went to Gary Kildall to get his version of DR-DOS, but there were disagreements and IBM said no. So they went to Microsoft, who went out and purchased an operating system for $25,000 as I remember ($93,502.72 in today's dollars) from another company and named it MS-DOS and they were able to strike a deal with IBM.

Gates probably had this 3 or 4 year window that he hit perfectly for having his software be able to become the top company. A few years later and it would be too late.

There is a lot of luck involved.
Jaron Lanier developed a language in VR in the 80s much like you describe (apparently). Unfortunately, there is little evidence of it beyond some of his later testimony.
The vocabulary was invented though by gpt.
Are you saying that hot water based central heating systems with radiators should be replaced by throwing an electric heater in every room? You can't be serious.

There are quite a few things wrong with that, first of all the efficiency is terrible (that's why they're banned in Switzerland since 2009), secondly the house installations in a lot of homes would probably not be able to cope with the power required to heat all rooms (in my apartment in Switzerland, the fuse would pop out when I turn on two of those 2000W heaters). Third, it's far less convenient if you need to set the heat in every room separately, instead of turning on/up/down/off the central heating system when the outside weather changes.
> pissing off people who love computers the most is a terrible idea.

back when balmer jumped up and down in a presentation yelling "developers, developers, developers", they were still good (despite balmer's terrible leadership).

I think they're just losing the battle for mindshare now. Users would more easily move to macs, if they're a casual consumer of tech, and linux if they're more hardcore. Windows has no raison d'etre except for the gaming space imho, and i would hope that the steam deck propels WINE and linux onto gaming and remove the final hold from windows.
The state of “Hacker” “News”
no sim signup? What in the fuck is that? Don't you see the way the internet is going lately?

Do you need to give a phone number or even email address to get on IRC? No. What about Ventrilo, Mumble, or Teamspeak? No. What about Skype? Yeah. Email.

Email is about as far as I go. If they want more than that (phone number etc) they can fuck off. How is that out of the ordinary? Because I'm not a cell phone newbie to the internet? I've been here for a long time and the personal information demands from all these piece of shit "services" are egregious when we have open source and self-hostable options that STILL WORK.
1,000 is a number definitely pulled out thin air.
I don't think the usual statistical value applies to an astronaut, especially an astronaut on a mission.

At least, the loss to NASA will be much more. For one, they're going to spend a ton of money on investigagions. For another, it could significantly impact their future budget, and their ability to hire. It would depend on the details of the deadly incident though.
What Is Ozempic and Why Is It Getting So Much Attention?
It does make a difference but doesn’t change the effect of Microsoft’s bad business decisions. There are no doubt many amazing individuals at the company, but the whole Windows ecosystem is polluted. It has lacked identity for the past decade since cancelling Windows Phone.

Gamifying browsing habits, monetizing MSN celebrity gossip on stock widgets and built-in search capabilities… etc… how are we supposed to be productive with such childish garbage?
Google already has my personal information. Using my Google account while logged into Mullvad isn't a good idea cause then I leak that to Google and whoever else they share data with.

I get the same feeling of momentary compulsion to exactly answer a greeting when confronted with two very common greetings in Thai: "Have you eaten rice yet?" and "Where are you going?"

To this day, I am still not entirely confident in how I should respond with to the prior.

In regards to the English "how are you?" greeting, think of it as a formulaic inquiry meant only to ensure there isn't anything absolutely horrible going on with you at that exact moment - anything lesser equates to "fine" or "I'm well, thanks."

More broadly, it is an appropriate situation to note anything out of the ordinary going on - "oh wow, I am so tired this afternoon!" etc to scope the ensuing situation. The greeting really is a question that equates to being asked "is there anything particularly out of the ordinary going with you right now I should know about that would impact us talking?" If there isn't, "I'm well, thanks."

(I know you know all this, but your comment got me musing on the topic.)
This looks like a language designed for language designers and not for language users.
I love tmux but there is one thing that really bugs me: why isn't mouse support enabled by default?

Annoys the hell out of me every time I used it on new machine.
> Or does someone at NASA not understand that Baja California is a state in Mexico?

I think they understand perfectly, and the capsule splashed down "off the coast" of "state of Mexico".

No different from saying "The capsule splashed down off the coast of British Colombia" or "The capsule splashed down off the coast of Queensland".

They know perfectly well what Baja California is and where it is.
I like those in general because you can hover over a function call in visual studio to see a description.
At my last employer, I built a thing that let us target warnings on various pages of the admin about the user’s configuration. Things like “hey you don’t have backups turned on and this is the fifth post you’ve made.”

It was incredibly fine-grained. Then the marketers got a hold of it, which is fine because surely they’d understand targeted ads. Nah. 75% of people just slapped a message on the user’s homepage, whether they could use the feature or not.

Seeing basically the same thing being built for windows settings makes me sigh. Mostly because people don’t have the ability or disciple to use it correctly.
is there a text based window manager that's browsable and uses the arrow keys?
Why are you copy pasting? I'm sure you know about stdout redirection, so I'm intrigued why this process is required. I'm guessing you're pasting logs into some gui system?

The association "USSR = Russians" is part of the systematic attempt by the soviet regime at cultural (and sometimes literal) genocide. The 90th anniversary of the Holodomor was just two weeks ago.
As a general purpose language it seems very limited/immature, if you look at trying to run e.g. a http server in it.
What is the science process that social scientists do not follow?

Hypothesis refutability?

Replication? (probably their weakest point btw)

I mean, in this thread i've read about successes in sociology and economics, probably the most math-based social sciences, but i'd say linguistics are probably the second most successfull science in the last 40 years, and that's considered a social science. History have also made a lot of new discoveries recently (by criticizing older works and getting past them). Archeology have slow successes, but still, we understand Neandertal way, way better than we did ten years ago.
Precisely why we need grid storage.
I'm really getting to the point that I think we need regulation that bans mandatory advertising features in any product which you outlay cash for directly, or at least requires a realistically priced non-advertising version to be made available (i.e. give some leeway to go "nah, it's not 10,000% more expensive to sell the version with ads...)

It seems like the inevitable destination of all products is to be chock full of tracking and ads, because if you have a large market share, why not also monetize it further by selling ads to your disposable-income identified customers?
On the other hand, if the wealthy person bought the $10 boots and invested the other $40, the investment could throw off enough money to keep him in annual $10 boots forever.
From what I've seen so far, ChatGPT is surprisingly good at editing texts. Would love to hear an opinion from a native, though.
Also a hazard when operating a waterjet cutter. Mine came with cards that advise the doc to treat the wound like a gunshot wound.
That’s been my experience since the early 2000s: people recommend Macs (or especially iPads) for the people who will be calling them for support, and it’s generally delivered well.

One thing I will note is that the markups have been a lot less in practice than claimed since Apple stopped using PowerPC. Most of the people I know who did comparisons ended up finding the Mac either equivalent or, frequently, cheaper once they adjusted for equivalent quality. Sure, you can buy a $400 PC but you end up buying 3 of them over the same service life and have a shoddy display for that entire time. The bundled crapware PC vendors use to subsidize the low-end stuff is really not helping the impression of their products, either (I know multiple people who had an unusable system out of the box that way. They now use Macs.).
very little! just competent engineers and lots of gpus
Yeah, just 100k+ of wasted lives on single project only, but engineering worth it, right? https://soviethistory.msu.edu/1980-2/bam/
JITs also modify the code at the destination of the function pointer, which was likely also code at a different time (since it usually needs to be allocated from a separate heap that is marked executable). If the CPU prefetched/cached the instructions at the function pointer target prior to the modification, then the program would observe incorrect behavior, even though it's not self-modifying code in the usual sense.

Teleoperation in VR makes a lot of sense for some applications. E.g. when you want stereo vision for relative positioning. Here’s the same thing but for timber loading:

Look at really any of the competition at the Model S price level from the Germans and the interior is spectacular. Honestly the battery range on the Germans is also better than you realize.

Tesla exaggerates their range and few actually achieve the quoted EPA range, so you can deduct 10-15% for real world.

The Germans, especially Porsche undersell their range and real world you can get about 10-15% longer out of the BMWs & MBs and something insane like 35% more out of the Taycans.

InsideEVs has a nice real world 70mph highway range comparison, and the ranking would surprise you compared to the advertised ranges.
https://insideevs.com/reviews/443791/ev-range-test-results/

So an advertised 350mi Model S and a 225mi Taycan in fact meet somewhere in the middle, closer to 300mi +/- for both.
> feels like an over-estimate

That's why I said at least 3 bits. If chess players are rarer, then knowing someone is a chess player is a stronger filter. (By the same token, knowing that they're not is a weaker one; but that's not the case we're discussing.)
Hi, thanks a lot.

Yep transcripts were on my list to include but there is a decent cost to get accurate human vetted transcripts for ~6 hours of (2) speaker audio content per week. There are semi-automated free tools but the accuracy is poor enough where I'd spend a !huge! amount of time rewriting and fixing them up (I tried a bunch, even some low cost paid solutions that were AI driven).
The tree view and data grid components don't seem to support lazy loading elements, which is particularly disappointing given how frequently I end up implementing that functionality in front of ElasticSearch and Solar.

Apologies if I'm overlooking something that simply isn't documented prominently. (FWIW I do see the pagination support on the grid, but I'm looking for fluid vertical and horizontal scrolling)
In my case it is YouTube I am trying to get away from. Really listening to music on YouTube is a pretty good experience, it is great for discovery, and it even does a good job of making mixes for me. For many reasons though I don't want to be plugged into it and I try to listen to files on my computer, jellyfin or minidisc when I use my computer.

Upstairs I have a home theater receiver, I also have one downstairs where the HDMI out is burned out but it is good for music. I have an XBOX ONE plugged upstairs and it works for games but it seems to get worse all the time as a media player, it doesn't even play CDs although it plays DVD and Bluray. Upstairs I have the minidisc player for stereo music and one of these

https://www.crutchfield.com/S-92WonNqYEjS/p_158CDPX355/Sony-...

which is connected to the receiver with an optical cable and is full of 5.1 DTS discs which I am a huge fan of. There are some good 1970s quad recordings such as Fragile by Yes but also a lot of good stuff in the the 2000-2010 period such as Supernature by Goldfrapp and some artists like Donald Fagan who always believed in multichannel. Like stereoscopic cinema I think a lot of people don't see a big difference but I like it a lot.
describing it as forced is certainly technically wrong, but the results is no different. MS should not have done it, and the fact that they used a dark pattern to achieve it is not better than forcefully doing it!
To rein this convo back a bit, sometimes hearing it raw and hard can help. I consider myself to have medium thick skin and I appreciate feedback like this immensely because it has a certain comedic effect as well. Maybe that’s how I grew up though.
The clean energy revolution was promoted by the Green party in 1998-2005 (including turning off the first nuclear power plants).

It was the string of conservative governments that followed it that neglected (and, at times, actively sabotaged) the build out of renewable power sources.
LTO is expensive because it's enterprise-oriented, and despite the O in the name meaning "open", seems actually a proprietary standard since you can't just go to their site and download the specs.

I guess I don't really get it. Nobody doubts that you can get a tremendous output of energy from a fusion bomb with modest inputs. This thing they've ignited is a tiny fusion weapon without a fission blanket and with a huge, inconvenient optical primary. I mean I'm all for science but I don't see the road from this to civilian fusion power as people generally understand the term.
