It's a really challenging goal. It'd take probably more delta-v than any other spacecraft launched. Oumuamua orbit wasn't characterized until after it was already heading away from the solar system, which makes the requirements even higher and the launch window pretty small.

Budgets have to be allocated and prioritized who will pay for it and prioritize it ahead of other space missions?

Finding a scientist who would love to have this is a lot easier than finding someone to fund and build this. It'd probably require a rocket with more detla-v than any other ever made to be put on standby for years, ready to launch within a few days.
Higher, brighter and LED are more uncomfortable at same brightness I feel.

And bicycles are also very bad, mostly for pedestrians, because they point their super bright LED straight up instead of downward.

I do use that, but I find that it's inconsistent. From what I can tell, it seems to toggle between the current size and the previous size -- which becomes problematic when using an external screen. Or perhaps that's just Finder -- it's hard to tell! Frustratingly, this matches the behaviour of alt-clicking (sorry, option-clicking) on the maximise button, and I really love being able to have two windows comfortably share a screen with no wasted space, aero-snap style.

I am pretty sure it's random: there are successful multi-repo companies as well.

There are only a handful of companies the success of which compares to Meta or Alphabet, so statistics do not apply.

As a counter point, there is Apple which almost certainly doesn't use monorepo. Or Microsoft.
If you’re the sort of person that already uses 72-bit passwords and you want to make sure something is secure over the long-term, then the best thing you can do is add more bits of entropy to that password. Adding extra characters increases the cost to an attacker much more effectively than PBKDF2 or Argon2 do.

The point of PBKDF2 and Argon2 is to add some extra protection for the relatively weak passwords that users typically pick, which are closer to 40 bits or less of entropy. For online authentication these KDFs are fine. But for long-term (decades) protection of encryption keys, it’s nowhere near enough.

Using your own example, a 40-bit password stretched to 0.01s would take about 348 years if purely sequential. But this is highly parallelisable, so crackable in less than a year in reality (much less on GPUs).

Now, maybe you are willing to bet that the costs of such an attack (memory and CPU/GPU time) will not change too much over your lifetime, and so are willing to accept this. But, as I say at the end of the article, this means you are adopting a non-standard model of security as far as cryptography is concerned and should be clear about that. (Cryptography defines security in terms of Turing machines with unlimited memory).
Fortunately, at least for video codecs, there's a hardware acceleration block, and it is significantly stronger than the one rpi4's SoC has.

Unfortunately, there's no drivers in the current images, and it'll take time to have proper open drivers and integration with common APIs such as vdpau.

Everyone who currently has a carryover balance is getting paid out, so I don't see how that would help costs during a layoff unless that layoff is 6+ months out.

My comment is accurate. The lack of any left, leave aside 'far' left' in the US is the root of all of the problems that the US has. When something isnt balanced, it topples to one side. This applies to societies too. And the US is one such society toppled entirely to one side.

Similarly, such false usage of terms like 'left', 'right' is also something that prevents the US society from analyzing the situation and making corrections. Anyone calls anything whatever they want without any concern for the meaning of actual terms. It ends up in anyone being able to create any false reality for themselves.

My overall point is that trains will not replace cars in the United States any time soon, so they would not be a very good replacement for autonomous driving lanes.

> Planes aren't either, what's your point?

My point is that the comment I replied to implied that trains can replace cars. Trains cannot replace cars because they are a form of public transportation, which cannot easily replace cars.

> That people who need to go somewhere should be priced out

This is quite the leap. My comment did not argue the merits of either, merely that trains would not be a very good replacement for autonomous vehicle lanes.

> have you ever even been outside of suburbia?

This isn't useful to your argument. Why are you resorting to a personal attack?

I agree with you, but part of the perception of Germany, including in GP comment, comes from Germany's hesitation to be as vocally supportive of Ukr, and from Germany's hesitation to take the risk on leading the way on supplying MBTs and other heavy weapons. For my entire life, Germany has acted like the leader of Europe, and now they have not either in words or deeds, which has colored the perception of ... not a few people. Germany has provided lots of aid, but they have been so damned shy about it, and never or at least rarely before other nations.

I spent a lot of time at the FAA writing software. (6+ years) there is a huge culture of process, policy and not a whole lot of thinking or analysis or actually understanding the problems that they are working on. it is maddening.

imagine a spreadsheet with 700 lines in it telling you that you need to do ABCDEFG each of those lines is instructing you to write a document detailing a procedure with the chain of custody forms and keys and whatever password rotations etc etc. follow this process and fill out this presentation template wait 3 months and then present it to a board who doesn't give a shit or have any understanding of your project.

it's all an insane amount of work and it gets us the opposite in terms of the goals these processes are intended to achieve.

I have zero doubt that the only thing that will happen as a result of this catastrophic incident is another 50 lines in a spreadsheet somewhere telling you to do stuff that nobody will comprehend or implement correctly or even verify until there is a similar incident causing an investigation into it.

It seems to me that "the universe" is not an appropriate term for our close planetary neighborhood.

There is a difference between an interstellar object passing within 85 times the distance to the Moon (so closer than Mars at closest approach to Earth) and say a supernova thousands or millions of light years away (and hence thousands or millions of years ago).

I don't know where the universe begins, but I'd say Low Earth Orbit and the Moon don't qualify while Proxima Centauri does. For reference:

Distance from ground to space: ~100 km

Distance from California to Australia: ~12,000 km

Distance to the Moon: ~400,000 km

Distance to 'Oumuamua's closest approach: ~33,000,000 km

Distance to Mars at closest approach: ~55,000,000 km

Distance to the Sun: ~150,000,000 km

Distance to Neptune: ~4,500,000,000 km

Current distance to 'Oumuamua ~5,000,000,000 km

Distance to Sedna: ~13,000,000,000 km

Distance to Proxima Centauri: ~40,000,000,000,000 km

True, you often see producers get promoted on movie trailers/ads because they sometimes are the ones organizing the talent for the movie (directors/scripts/money etc).

So if Netflix/et al turn a smaller group of talented producers into a central corporate factory floor then naturally talent and script spotting also becomes systematized. And corporations love making safe bets with things like focus groups.

Who knows... maybe eventually it's still a win given the influx of capital being thrown against the wall by these big streaming services. Maybe the analytics on views-to-completion will weed out the crap like TikTok does scary well.
This is a great idea, but wouldn't paving more road be significantly cheaper and quicker than building rail infrastructure?

Yes (should be obvious from context). This includes federal, state, and local taxes.

Edit: point being, if your taxes are super high, it's usually a combination of very high income & owning very expensive property.

Edit 2: if you have very LOW income and own very expensive property, then you could end up with astronomical tax rates overall if you include property taxes. But that's usually not what people talk about in this context, and is kind of a separate problem (cost of housing).
I think you are right, it is the finder app that behaves a little differently, which I’ve always assumed is because you typically need to drag files in and out of the finder so it leaves a gap to make that easy, but you can still make it full screen if you want.

France absolutely has staff and funding shortages, on top of the supply chain issues for medicine [0].

For the US, there sure is the affordability issue, but I don't think that's anything new. However, OP's point is that there had already been staff shortages for a while before COVID, but now the proverbial camel's back has been broken:

> Ultra lean staffing prior to covid led to the sh*tshow during the pandemic and, now that everyone is quitting, things are now in total collapse. [...] There are 30 rooms in the ER, but 3 nurses overnight…

This is the exact situation in France. The hospitals are physically still there, but there's not enough staff.

No, what I'm describing is functions in a selector.py, like: def get_orders_for_date(date) -> Order:

where Order is a pydantic model, not a fat django model. Other modules shouldn't know about my internal database.
All other modules should use functions from this selector.py, they aren't allowed to use the OrderModel themselves directly, only the pydantic class. Because otherwise you end up with spaghetti.

Trains in Europe are not magical and the best they could ever be.

They could be a lot better in a lot of ways. In Europe there is still a huge investment in car infrastructure. And while land use wasnt as bad as in the US its still far from optimal.

I do dislike the selling of these specific tickets. I much prefer a system where you can just take the train.

When I used the ICE in Germany I would never get a reservation, just a general ticket. So if I missed one it didnt matter.
But what if they'd seen thousands of species on thousands of planets and it had become mundane? You as a human are undoubtedly aware that exotic wildlife exists in far off places but I bet you don't spend much time thinking about Tarsiers or Marmosets.
> Now we're building LNG terminals in Germany, we're building a pipeline to Norway for hydrogen, all that stuff is suddenly possible in months

Building something does not mean that you will be able to fill it. The LNG comes from the US, who source it themselves from domestic and arab sources. The next biggest source of gas is Qatar and they explicitly said that they couldnt fulfill Europe's gas demand even if they sold their entire stock to Europe directly. Russian gas and energy still are the only sources that can supply the world globally.

Even the US strategic petroleum reserve is dwindling as the US makes a quick buck selling its oil to Europe on inflated prices to the extent that it started making German and French governments complain publicly. Of course, there is also the Russian gas and oil that they buy from intermediaries and then sell to Europe - a fine example of US corporate-state mentality.

> There is mooooore than enough spare grid capacity to deliver the electricity to electrify homes.

I know some electrical engineers who work in the field who are of the polar opposite opinion. I am trying to paraphrase:

1. the wires we have deployed will not be able to carry the currents needed

2. the deployed transformers are not beefy enough for the expected demand

3. the existing house wirings are not beefy enough for the expected demand

4. there are not enough people with the propper training in the field to change this all as quickly as is needed

This is not my judgement, but what "word on the street" is with electrical engineers who do nothing else than put copper under the earth 24/7
It gives a huge benefit, and not doing it is why most django code is incomprehensible and slow.

No longer should anyone in their module directly do something to a model and save it. They should always go through a service in the module owning that model, that makes sure everything is done correctly. So services.py and selectors.py works as a public API for the module, while the models are internal. Avoids having lots of other apps/modules depending on your app's internals.
Given that Schroeder started working for Nord Stream within weeks of stepping down as Chancellor, later became manager of Nord Stream 2, was paid $350,000 per year as director of the board of Rosneft, and was nominated to the board of directors of Gazprom, is it really unwarranted to point out that he was bought and paid for as Putin's servant?

Driving to my in-laws in Niedersachsen up from northern Bavaria through the former East on Christmas Eve was revelatory: not only a slight increase in windmills, along with several of those enormous blades parked on the side, but banks of solar panels along with Autobahns everywhere, in various states of construction, but the ones with panels up were of course more conspicuous.

Those solar panels weren't there back in June.
Is it really the case that mining Bitcoins is still the most lucrative way to exploit El Salvador's volcanic energy?

In high school, the first thing I did when I encountered a new type of assignment was write a small BASIC program on the TI83+ that solved this type. You could argue that if I can write a generalised solution to a problem, I've understood it. And that anyone copying my program would be cheating, but I wouldn't.

But it meant I got good at programming, but had limited math solving time.

> AI tools like copilot are still controversial within the industry

Those of my colleagues who dared try it greatly appreciate it.

The rest of us don't think they're cheating. They're just being productive.

> have no business being in education

You can say that.

But it won't change whether students use AI-powered learning tools.

These tools force us to rethink education so that we don't simply verify if people did something they could have got help with, since now help has become cheaper. Using a computer should not be considered cheating. It changes the game, and anyone stuck in the old game thinks it's cheating, while everyone in the new game are trying to do something else now.

> Unfortunately Modern C++ is mostly found in conference talks.

I would suggest that you might be projecting your experience on the rest of the industry. I’ve seen nothing but modern C++ at several companies for the last decade. I haven’t seen legacy C++ anywhere in a really long time, thankfully. I occasionally see very early C++11, which is definitionally modern though dated by modern standards. Baselines tend toward C++17 these days on average.
more specifically, it's really strange to hear of people doing equivalence checks on objects with structure. What are you expecting that comparison to do? I doubt it is doing what you think is happening, and is indeed risky of panics.
> Delaying self-driving cars by one year comes at a cost of up to 1.35 million human lives [1]. That doesn't excuse failures like these, but the context should be understood.

Citation needed. There is nothing so far proving that self driving cars currently have less crashes then humans in comparable conditions. And they disengage in difficult conditions when most crashes happen.

Dont just start with assumption "self driving is currently safer" and then go on blame people for not trusting it.
And did it run on said fuel? Or did any of them? It has never happened.
This is mostly applicable if there is no sudden lane change. True you should always keep a safe enough distance for you to react and brake in any case with the car in front of you. If that car was too close on another lane, switch to yours and brake simultaneously this is a bit different.
It's a logarithmic scale. The 0.73 value is not a linear scaling but a value given by Sagan's proposed interpolating/extrapolating function:

K = (log10(P) - 6) / 10, where P is power in Watts.

20 TW = 2e13 W -> K = (log10(2e13) - 6) / 10 = ~(13.3 - 6) / 10 = ~0.73
