> ...boosted out of the plane of the galaxy.

Which made no sense to me, because to escape the other, naturally occurring cones of radiation, emitting from different sources, only distance would matter.

Just rising above the thick part of our galaxy wouldn't be enough IMO. Because it doesn't really matter if you are cought in such a cone, from one side or another, or from above or below.

Because they are oriented randomly, according to the rotational axis of the object in question, which isn't aligned to some 'plane' (AFAIK).

So the only way to be sure would be a much larger distance from the galactic mess, out into real emptiness. Which would open it's own can of worms. Because real emptiness doesn't protect against larger jets, coming from larger objects, like Seyfert-galaxies in active state.

Edit: To further explain my model of thinking about this, while being in the plane of our galaxy, we could be protected by nebulae, dust and gas clouds, depending from where the radiation cone comes. That would be random(luck).

And useless against our next nearest neighbours, if they go
boom for whichever reason, and there aren't any obstacles between that, and us, which could dampen the radiation a little bit. Going up or down the galactic plane, would add just a little distance, but not enough to be safe from all the possible cones of radiation coming out of the plane.

Because from 'in the plane' to above or below it, there are even less obstacles which could dampen the intensity of that. Less 'fog or dust', but still 'in range', thus easier target.

But still somehow in the 'galactic bubble', exerting outwards 'pressure', maybe dampening extragalactic outbursts somewhat.

I've been referring to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrophysical_jet , not your method of 'leaving the galactic plane'.

So using your jet to leave the plane made no sense to me, because it doesn't really protect against the astrophysical jets, and radiation cones emitting from them.

It's not about age, it's about experience.

A virgin will have serious FOMO over sex. But the more experiences you have with different partners, the less special it is ie. the less FOMO you get since you've "been there done that."
I also wonder if "losing 20% of good candidates" isn't balanced out by "only receive applications by people that would actually be interested in working here"

I have never worked on this side of hiring but I would imagine if a site was so frictionless it let android engineers (for instance) do one-click apply to every company hiring android engineers that the hiring managers would have too many resumes to sort through of people who would never actually accept.
That's basically the old idea that a single point of failure/backup is not sufficient. It's not specific to Google, Apple, Microsoft, etc. One copy can get damaged, hijacked, erased by accident - so ideally keep 2 or more (encrypted) copies.

> What should China do if that is indeed the case? They can’t continue being the world’s factory if they only have 1-3 kids per family.

If we're going the high population route: start accepting massive numbers of skilled immigrants in sectors with labor shortages. Or raise the financial incentives to have kids. The latter is already being done in China and in many other countries (Japan, SK, Eastern Europe, etc.) to little effect, so what it would take would be something like $200k tax free for your first child, $150k tax free for your second, $100k for your third, and nothing for your fourth child and above. And phase out the incentives if a baby boom actually happens to avoid inflation.

If we're going the low population route: invest more in automation (already being done), education (already being done), and worker productivity (also already being done).
Google won the web years ago and it's still "innovating." By "is the new IE" people generally mean the 2007 IE, not the 1999 IE. I don’t think many complained about those shiny new ActiveX APIs in IE 3 and Chrome doesn't really have anything like that (even though they push features out with few signals from the rest of the platform)
A database. To be clear though, it's usually a library plus a service. It could be library + sqlite etc though I guess. Look here for example, page 8:

It's pretty amazing, big companies make these migrations on important systems. There are 10's (or 100's maybe) of billions of lines of COBOL still being deployed and companies move them into a cloud (ie aws etc, x86 + cloud services) environment for various purposes.
Mastodon people is sort of a strange way to group folks. Categorically I don't think it's useful other than speaking in tendencies.

I do know that US media has lied or propagandized numerous aspects of this war — from the origins to the current status.

My question was that broader one:

How do you know this isn’t like Iraq (where the media lied about reasons) or Afghanistan (where the media lied about status, until the sudden collapse)?
Love this new resource. I've been geeking out over what seems to be some near term changes on what it means to build a home. For the longest time it seemed to mean (in the US at least):

- wood
- waste
- lifelong high expense
- manual

and with the sudden explosion of

- 3D printed houses (https://communityimpact.com/austin/georgetown/housing-real-estate/2022/11/17/3d-printed-homes-in-georgetown-offer-new-approach-to-building-communities/)(https://www.3dwasp.com/en/3d-printer-house-crane-wasp/)
- revival of the modular home (really to many to list https://www.dwell.com/article/prefab-homes-austin-texas-f734ce25)
- prevalent home centered tech
- open source communities (https://www.opensourceecology.org)
- remote work
- decreasing solar cost
- increasing last mile internet access

I wonder how what will change in how we perceive the value of a home. If I had a lot of money I think I'd just buy a lot of land and see what sticks.
He makes token mentions of progress every couple of months, but I would not be surprised to hear it's essentially been shelved. My entirely unsubstantiated guess is that he hasn't exactly given up on it yet but is finding more enjoyment in other projects. Just like any of our long-languishing side projects, he may sit down and churn it on for a while here and there, but he's not spending full days at a time on it, or at least not consistently.

ADWD released in 2011. Even at his glacial pace it's hard to understand how he could still be working on it if he was consistently dedicating hours a day to writing. It's not like he hasn't produced anything in that time either, so yeah, probably just not working on it much at all.

I might get a better answer on GBA, but any building performance folks you'd recommend connecting with in the SF Bay Area? I'm not in the building industry at all, but love hearing talks and daydreaming about changing careers. Finding some material for folks outside of the PNW, New England, and the South West would be amazing. Temperate climates like the bay seem especially challenging to get specific info for, so maybe it's a case where I need to understand the principles well and apply it myself.

Love the book by the way; it's what I wish I'd had when I was looking to buy my first home. I'm going to be gifting it to a few people in my family over the next few years.

I was building another startup, and I stumbled across this problem of managing my images better.

I had a job like this for a few years. Escalated tech support went to the actual developers, so you really felt that impact.

For software to be sustainable with only 1000 users, it's got to be something that a small number of people use to do their jobs. Look for B2B software targeting a small niche.

The other route is software that is trying to get to a billion users, and just isn't there yet. If you get into a startup scene, you can definitely make a career of it.
That’s the thing, it’s baked in. He has the guest go off about some random historical tangent. Then brings it around to the sale, which is a certain another history podcast that sells for just one dollar an episode. That’s the bit he puts out on YouTube, so the ad gets even more play. He only puts up specific parts of the whole Spotify show onto YouTube, and he managed to pimp this one.

I wonder how much he charges for ad campaigns like this.

He’s done this plenty of times.

Another example:

It really wouldn't. I had to take a year off waiting for a work visa, it was great and I got my highest paying job role straight after.
I'm not one to praise my HP machines, but this is one area where I've had zero issues with them.

Are you by chance using "consumer" models? My "enterprise" level PCs, starting with models of the intel 6th gen era, up to 12th gen, have been smooth-sailing secure-boot wise. I didn't interact with any older model.

I run Arch (which isn't signed by MS like Ubuntu / Fedora) and sign the bootloader with my own key that I've generated myself. On some computers where I need to dual-boot with Windows, I've signed MS's Windows key (not the third-party one) with my key. Everything has always worked fine, including automatically upgrading the UEFI over the network from the UEFI itself, installing Windows 11, etc.

I never needed to disable Secure Boot (apart from initial Arch install) or sign any HP-specific key. The only thing that "breaks", but that's expected and HP warns you during the update, is that whatever relies on measuring the UEFI image will break. That's typically the case with BitLocker (mentioned specifically) and LUKS.
It’s a fair concern that’s certainly on our very near roadmap. We’re adding an MFA confirmation on each phone number which helps validate respondents. Aware that it’s not a bulletproof solution, but it will close the gap another few inches.

If you want to throw money at the problem here are my suggestions.

Find a good architect that knows the building codes and is at least educated in structural engineering.

Second, you can hire someone to manage the quality of the work. This can cost between 8-12% of the project bid. They make sure work is being done to a proper standard and will can deal with the contractor if something is lacking.

It is just going to take time. You can't build until you have permits. You can't get permits without a structural engineer drawings. You can't get a structural engineer until you have architect drawings. It all just takes time. Not to mention Our contractor was a year out.

Also, availability is still difficult on a lot of items. The windows we wanted were 26 weeks out. Our tile unavailable. If you like off the shelf junk from Home Depot, then you can avoid some of that waiting, but otherwise you have to simply wait.

Good luck!

Also nothing wrong with just releasing a miniseries instead of trying to make everything a multi-season affair based on how successful it is. The two concepts might align well really.
This is cool, but I'm not so sure this is as "AI generated" as OP is making out.

The layout seems preconfigured and the images seem to come from pexels depending on your keywords. They're not AI generated.

The "team" profiles come from https://xsgames.co/randomusers/ which is seems to randomly provide a subset of 78 prerendered faces instead of generating a new face. Eg, https://xsgames.co/randomusers/assets/avatars/female/1.jpg or https://xsgames.co/randomusers/assets/avatars/female/2.jpg

I'm guessing it's just the placeholder text which is actually AI generated here which while cool isn't quite so impressive as what's being implied by the title.
You might be able to use https://pkg.go.dev/runtime#SetFinalizer for that.

Hey all, I'm Bruno, founder of Abstra, we are building a GUI builder for Python.

This is similar to Retool/Appsmith, but instead of JS queries, you can use Python, also this brings some other differences:
- Runs in backend (thus you can pip install anything)
- Easier logic handling code (there is no "query" abstraction where you squeeze your code)
- It's Python! (Code reuse, unit testing, CI/CD, etc..)

It is still in development, but we plan to fully launch in a few weeks

Seeding gpt (or using copilot) on snippets of your code is extremely effective. I often paste a function of my codebase before asking code questions, as in: “here is an example of a product class, generate the swagger spec for a user crud api” and it will infer how and even what kind of fields our user class has, without having seen it.
Small but bespoke. It's the only way. Stuff, the actual materials things, they have their own designs. Better to shape them in your image, than have them shape you in theirs.
The problem with this is that it's way too easy to to tell the difference between power cables. Even non audiophiles can hear the difference. This is also 15 years ago. Manufacturing has taken such a leap between then and now that even if it was in doubt then, it's certainly not now. Now it's simply a matter of taste, and the better way to represent the reality of cables is that it's subjective, they do sound different, and even though everyone has their favorite cables, no one can agree on what sounds good, much less what makes them sound good. But in general, an better cable will sound "more agreeable" to more people.

I also agree there are a lot of garbage overpriced cables.

I think it's important to remember cables are not measured under appropriate loads, and they aren't measured connected to real equipment.

The measuring equipment falls far far short in the Audio world. Take for example the Audio Precision APx555B. It's the best audio analyzer in existence, and if you go to audiosciencereview, there are now DACs that have measurements that are below the measurable threshold for this machine in certain regards.

Power cables are the same. Not measurable in a meaningful way.

Nah.

There have been minisplits in the US for years, they are just not very common. Moreover they have been commonplace in Asia for decades now. They are noticeable. I personally think they look like ass. They are huge and you are blind if you don't notice them. There is a reason why ducted or recessed models are available internationally for luxury homes. It has nothing to do with Americans.
It seems like a series of guiding concepts and examples for builders or clients. Custom home building seems to be the main venue for this at the moment, but a layperson like myself can use this to try and recognize a good house or think about how I might retrofit my own. It's all too expensive at the moment where I live, but I can dream and save my pennies.

> - note the "electrons" row of the table

According to this Table on wikipedia, it's possible to use electron charge (instead of 'spin') to do Quantum Logic with Qubits.

How is that doing quantum logical computations with electron charge different from from what e.g. Cirq or Tequila do (optionally with simulated noise to simulate the Quantum Computer Engineering hardware)?

FWIU, analog and digital component qualities are not within sufficient tolerance to do precise analog computation? (Though that's probably debatable for certain applications at least, but not for general purpose computing architectures?) That is, while you can build adders out of voltage potentials quantified more specifically than 0 or 1, you might shouldn't without sufficient component spec tolerances because noise and thus error.

IMHO, Turing Tumble and Spintronics are neat analog computer games.

(Are Qubits, by Church-Turing-Deutsch, sufficient to; 1) simuluate arbitrary quantum physical systems; or 2) run quantum logical simulations as circuits with low error due to high coherence? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church%E2%80%93Turing%E2%80%93... )

I would suggest picturing it more like a young and naive artist being pressured by a demanding community into gradually, accidentally assuming the role of a software engineer and project maintainer, when that's never what they intended to become, nor what makes them happy to do with their life; and is also something they had no training or skills to cope with the challenges of.

Functional Core, Imperative Shell[1] is one of the most useful patterns. I will probably use it in every future project. Two major production projects that use FCIS are:

- ReactJS: https://svitla.com/blog/functional-programming-in-typescript

- CodeMirror/ProseMirror: https://codemirror.net/docs/guide/

Another functional concept I find very useful is immutability. Immutability "clicked" for me after watching this talk[2]. I wish immutability was a first-class concept in JS/TS. (It will be, eventually.[3]) For now, I use immer.js for immutability in JS.

In retrospect, my programming naturally tended to be "functional-esque. Now I do it very deliberately, even though the language isn't purely functional (JS/TS).
