You're right, of course, but I think the objective counter for now is that space missions are still a bit too much on the "piloting experimental craft" side. While in a different environment, a disability could be less of an issue, or even an advantage, current missions still plan for contingencies in multiple environments (of which we have at least three - on the ground, in microgravity / free-fall, under high thrust). If there was an advantage to disability across all possible environments, it wouldn't be called a disability in the first place.

Ultimately it all boils down to cost. There's a lot of things that could be designed around (I imagine missing one or both legs would be one of the easier cases) - but that is costly, and if it increases variety by e.g. introducing new kinds of equipment or training protocols, that increases risks of failure (both hardware or human error), again increasing costs. Etc.

These things will get easier and cheaper once we ramp up the amount of space missions - the vicious cycle I'm hinting at can eventually turn into a virtuous one.
I recognize that IP address! Your site is being used as a pawn in a rather sneaky attack, and I was hit by it recently. Those email addresses belong to the victims—like me.

Let’s say I’m a hacker. I’ve gotten into Alice’s Amazon account and want to place a bunch of orders using her payment info. However, I don’t want her to notice until after I’ve received the ill-gotten goods.

To ensure she doesn’t notice the email notifications from Amazon, I want to “bury” those emails with spam. I can do this by entering her email into tons of online forms. Most will only send a single email—for example, your blog will probably only ask Alice to confirm her email—but once is enough.

This happened to me a couple weeks ago with Apple. Someone used the default billing and shipping info on my Apple account to place an order for an iPhone 14 Pro Max. I woke up to hundreds of emails from various blogs and other sites asking me to confirm my email. Being a security researcher, I knew that meant someone didn’t want me to see something else that had landed in my inbox.

I went through each one by hand. One included the IP address that submitted the form, which was interesting but not particularly useful. Eventually I found the receipt from Apple.

It’s not clear how the attackers intended to intercept the package; presumably, they would’ve tried to convince the courier to redirect it or retrieved the package from my doorstep, but Apple intervened and was able to stop the delivery before either of those happened.

It’s also not clear how the attacker got my billing and shipping info. Apple was able to confirm that my account wasn’t compromised and that nobody had contacted support pretending to be me. That billing info wasn’t used with many other companies.

Edit: You can see what this looks like from the victim’s side here: https://imgur.com/a/DHEJwKh Note that the usernames have the same sort of gibberish.
I honestly think starting a blog in 2023 is exactly as easy as it was 2004 (the year he references), if you take the easiest route:

1. You pick a cheap shared hoster

2. You buy a domain and connect it

3. You download a PHP blog system, like Wordpress

4. You unpack the files into the webroot, configure the database (or use a blog system that supports sqlite, like Serendipity [which I develop for])

5. Pick a theme, install a minimal amount of plugins. Optionally customize the theme a bit.

6. Done.

Sure, going with a hosted offering looks easier, but you still have to manage things like your domain, interoperability and backups, so hosting it on your own gets easier very fast.

Literally the modern equivalent of the old video-based backup systems. I remember they existed for both the PC and the Amiga. You would load a blank VHS tape into a VCR, connect the output of the computer to that VCR's input, and then tell the program which data you'd like to backup to the tape. It would generate this flashing "mess" of black and white pixels that you'd record to the tape. To restore, you'd connect the VCR output to a little box that came with the product, it would convert the black and white data in the video signal to a data stream that the program would use to restore your data.

A portion of the signal would be used for timing, metadata and error correction, so the program could tell you if the data was sufficiently damaged upon restore.

LGR has a video on the PC version from Danmere: https://youtu.be/TUS0Zv2APjU

Here's a video example of the Amiga industry's take on the idea: https://youtu.be/VcBY6PMH0Kg?t=573

Sony even did this in 1980 to record CD-quality PCM audio onto VHS tape. https://youtu.be/bnZFLzBO3yc

If your API calls are so generic that you don't need to identify the caller using an API key or some other token then you might be able to get some mileage out of it. But personally I'd like all API calls to go to my servers and not someone else's. If only because I don't like 3rd parties having the ability to log the payloads of requests, and whoever terminates your SSL connections has the ability.
I'm saying something else entirely.

Back in the day, home computers did not have enough resources to play music like modern computers do. They instead relied on custom hardware to make noise. An example is the MOS SID 6581, which was on the original C64.

Once you have enough resources this is unnecessary, because you can just make a giant sample of the entire song you want to play, and that's going to sound at least as good as analog recording (and possibly better, depending on what technology you are using to make the analog record).
They make the most sense in a hot climate! You already have a heat pump, for air conditioning, why not use it for heating too and stop spending money on a furnace?

The fact that some neural network architectures can compress data does not mean that data compression is the only thing any neural network can do.

1. What you use or wherever you host, make sure that you can export your content in either plain text or a universal format that can be used by another tool or host it yourself. In short, own the content and use whatever tool it fits your current situations and limitations.

2. Possibly, try to get a domain of your own, and preferably a `.com`. Point that to whichever server you use (if they don't allow you to point, that is a net negative). Keep pointing to the services that you keep moving as they keep dying. One day, you might just end up writing in plain HTML and (s)FTP into a folder.

3. If you are going to use images/audio/video quite a tad more than usual -- start using a CDN (pretty cheap and some are free these days). If those are hosted on https://cdn.mydomain.com, you can move your content wherever you want and those images, audio, video just works. I was able to change WordPress hosting providers in minutes because I don't have to move the static assets.

Excuse me, is it really the norm to just cut off people who are being let go, without the opportunity to say goodbye to their former colleagues? In my country it is 2 months notice by law...
You can choose how much correction you get, in terms of how many bit errors you can correct per 'n' bits. And you need surprisingly few bits to get pretty great performance under "reasonable" bit-error rate channel (like under 10% overhead). You can wind up the strength of the error correction if you anticipate a noisier channel.

QR codes have 4 levels of correction you can use depending on how robust you wish them to be. CDs and DVDs use two chained, fixed, levels to keep the decoders simple. CDs have 25% overhead, but their correction is very strong: they can correct 4000 bits in a row.
Webpack is the real offender and while vite is cool it isn't really a replacement for the decade or so standard, and looks like it requires a semi modern browser.

I'll probably try it out some time for a home project, but for anything serious it's a no go.
In what part am I telling anyone how to live their life?

What do you even think "people like you" is? I would return the question but you seem to have already answered that in the 'about' of your profile.
You're welcome! Important for people to get this I think bc we're using this tech more and more.
In most developed countries, disability payments mean living in significant, often crippling poverty.

Here in Canada, a single disabled person that is expected to live independently receives about 800 USD per month from the government. Out of that, they're expected to pay all their expenses. Canada is relatively typical as such things go. In France or Germany it's about 1000 USD a month. It's about 900 USD in the United States. It's only some 300 - 500 USD in the UK.

Depending on jurisdiction, there may or may not be subsidized housing which can make a big difference; but either way, many are paying market rate for housing. There are also other benefits, etc., that may alter the picture. But the overall picture is very very poor. The Scandinavian countries are the only major exception I can think of, where the disabled living only on a government pension might not actually be in poverty.
More like "be a part of the thing that got them there". Purposefully avoiding the specifics, as to avoid locking themselves into a specific course of action.

Brexit Britian also has a "new" "$1Bn" "Spaceport"

I say "new" because it was an existing, disused, runway.

I say "$1Bn" because no one has actually spent that, it's just the "value" in the government press release.

I say "spaceport" because it turns out any large open space with some concrete can be a spaceport if you want.
> The lunar gateway is the only mission target that I find appealing.

What about the lunar gateway is appealing to you?

IMO, it's a complete waste of time and money. Even the overt justification is basically that it'll help to politically stabilize Artemis, not that there's some sort of engineering or scientific reason for its existence.

And if Artemis is even marginally successful, there'll be lunar ground facilities that will quickly supplant the importance of the gateway - making it more of an albatross than an asset.
There’s no magic solution to this, otherwise ADHD wouldn’t be a disorder.

With too many things to juggle, you have to face the reality and drop some commitments, so you work only on the few things that you can manage without being overwhelmed.

To get started, it helps to extract a small (10-20min) specific starting task from a big vague task. Just don’t split the whole project into too many pieces at once, because that may start looking like too much.

And medication. Lots of people report that it really helps.
Sure, but it helps if you can show who actually owns the car. And a captable is pretty much just that: a division of who owns which chunk of the company. No need to disclose what they paid for it, that's not the acquirers' business anyway.
Poverty is costly, and if your region has a social safety net that includes healthcare, thus resolving poverty will save tax payers in the long run.

But from the mercenary point of view, I think reducing poverty is worth it from a security and quality of life point of view. If public spaces are dangerous that is no good for people and poverty also degrades peoples quality of life, examples like not having to step over homeless people outside your front door don't really have dollar values, but they make people happier.
They're wrong if you're interested in truth, just maybe not wrong if you're interested in reproductive fitness. We're not so concerned about the latter these days so much as the former.
Rotating on a long time scale invokes a tragedy of the commons problem. You would need to get all the world's drug manufacturers to agree not to make certain products at certain times.

But if small exceptions (because you know some rich person is going to get sick and hire a rogue lab to make something that's supposed to be paused) wouldn't ruin the whole scheme then it seems feasible.

Yes, sometimes it is hard to come up with the merge strategy that preserves user intent. I think the big one is rich text, where Peritext[0] looks like a good direction.

You are right to point that out, but I don't think the article is making a claim that its findings compose a recipe for exceptionalism. It actually seems very careful not to make any claims at all, except that it presents "a few of the patterns that have struck [the author] after having skimmed 42 biographies".
As an ex-sys admin, couldn't agree more with your pet theory. Many of us thrive when there's a sense of urgency ... but then can feel pretty unproductive during times of calm.
It's so annoying to have people that think they are just doing the 'don't throw the baby out with the bath water' but being honest how good can an executive function disability be?

It's like everyone is climbing a mountain, and they are wearing snow shoes, but I'm stuck with normal boots or worse. However, when I start having fun climbing I plucked off the ground by a ski lift that takes me to a random place up the mountain. If I'm travelling in groups or trying to reach a certain place, to not get lost I have to jump off the lift. Then I'm back to walking on foot, hurt but in an ache but not an actual damage and I have to try to keep up with the snow shoe folk again.
Surely there must be a similar lag time for production of Sodium Batteries?

Ok, Mr. Infinite Money lawyer.
You can cherry pick stats like that about any language: https://www.theregister.com/2021/07/28/python_pypi_security/

> About half of Python libraries in PyPI may have security issues

Pretty bad, right? I'll take the ecosystem with 265 issues over the one with 749000 issues any day.

> so does every language

Now you're getting it! Every language is unsafe, and always will be. They all run on a CPU with bits and bytes. The difference between Rust and Python is a difference in degree, not in kind. The only hope a programmer has is to constrain that necessary unsafety to be as small as possible. Rust handles this with unsafe blocks - they are very rare, easily greppable and easily auditable. Python has, well, nothing. It's built on a mountain of C, the interpreter, stdlib, and most libraries. The mountain is unsafe by default, and there's no way to decompose the problem to smaller pieces. This pile of unsafe C doesn't magically become safe just because you used a scripting language to call into it. (Just like using Python to run an external C program doesn't make the C program safe)

You came into this thread wondering why you get downvoted when you talk about this? It's probably because you're applying inconsistent standards to different languages. You decided Python is "safe", and when you find out about the C underneath, you ignore it and stick your head in the sand and make excuses for the memory vulnerabilities. Meanwhile you decided Rust is "unsafe", and use any rare counterexample to discredit the practical improvement over its predecessors. I believe this is the fallacy currently on display: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirvana_fallacy

Basically both Boeing and Douglas (and others) had various dual-prop planes that could be used for passenger service in the early 30s timeframe--of which the DC-3 is the best-known (and came a couple years after the plane in the article).

But were these modern airliners and which was the first in that class. <shrug>
If you didn't care, you wouldn't be commenting here, and you also insult another Hackernews User over "caring".

Do you actually understand your own emotional reaction or are you trying to use a gross rhetorical trick here ?
Are you by any chance part of the custom ergonomic keyboard community? I can see this being incredibly useful in replacing a bunch of existing work to programatically generate parameterised custom 3d-printable keyboard cases, currently done in Clojure/OpenSCAD/Blenderpy etc.. Currently the REPL workflow and toolchain for most such designs is way too long, and I can really see that use case driving adoption of your library.

How hard would it be to make your workbench pull and render code from GitHub repositories, so that for example, authors can link to a render of the codebase in their readme?

This is really great work btw. A pleasure to tinker with. Following closely.
There’s also the option to ask someone with skills and expertise to set something up for you.

Which is almost never taken into consideration as an option in this kind of posts.

I don’t think it’s hard to start a blog in 2023. It’s hard to start a blog if you have very strict requirements AND you want to do everything on your own without being a developer/designer.
One option is Cryptomator: https://cryptomator.org/
For arbitrary code, which is precisely my point. Code written in C in the same style as Rust is no harder to analyse than Rust code. What a new language can do is reject code that's not easy to analyse. It's code that's not written in that way in C that's hard and requires either more annotations or a restructuring (which may still be easier than a rewrite in another language).
Would it be possible to give an example of monad composition that shows both state and Io on one computation unit?
I have a hard time believing Apple will get away with such a scheme. But time will tell I guess.
I dunno. Pressure from advertisers has put an end to beheading videos and that genre of video from the Russia-Ukraine war which looks a bit like WWII-era footage of bombs being dropped out of a plane from 30,000 feet except it is a little bomb being dropped from 30 feet by a cheap drone on one person's head.

If advertisers felt as strongly about fake cooking videos and deadly "challenges" on TikTok they could get those eliminated but on a certain level advertisers want a "set" which is a bit dreamlike in which critical thinking has no place.
That seems fairly defeatist. I’ve gotten better at some things I used to be terrible at, and it took work to do so. And I’m happier for it, while still being plenty imperfect.
Tech work has a lot of weird selection biases that can lead to high concentrations of certain minority groups working in the sector: eg, people with autism, ADHD, etc.
The symbology isn't far from the mark, either, with the Senate seal consisting of "A red liberty cap above the shield and crossed fasces below the shield represent freedom and authority, respectively.", per Wiki. The Black Iron Prison remains; Rome has yet to fall.
I probably have some wiggle room on the details, but the combination of my skills, experience, and the macro economy make me roughly a "knowledge worker". I'm interested as hell in all kinds of things, but if I "choose" not to do the "knowledge worker" thing I'm looking at a tough situation pretty quickly.

I'm sure you mean well by your comment but I'd be more interested in what you think about the broader theme of "knowledge work as a path to high achievement denominated in society's rewards" than whether or not I personally have a bunch of agency about wanting rewards.
My ADHD is severe enough that medication is more or less necessary to function.

Besides that, I've not had much luck being able to channel the focus medications bring, except one key thing. Take your medication after you get started on whatever you want to accomplish. Once the meds kick in, your attention will often grab onto whatever you happen to be doing, and stay there.

Another huge help is the OHIO principle: Only Handle It Once. Try to catch yourself whenever you think "I'll do it later", and do it right away instead. Maybe give yourself a reward whenever you manage to do this, for some self-conditioning.

As for the situation you mention, there is no shame in asking friends or family for help(to do some of the chores, help you get started). Especially if you ask someone who also has ADHD, they will understand your pain and want to help. Often getting that reset back to normal is the best way to get into better habits.

I find it's much harder to establish better habits when I have a gigantic list of unfinished chores to do.
> why other will systematically deny all evidences

Sure, but they also do so for specific reasons, like that considering evidence failed them in the past in some significant way. Possibly they just didn't do it right, but it's just incorrect to think people are the way they are for no logical reason.
> The Russians (Gorbachev himself had said this many times in interviews) that there was a promise from NATO to not expand eastwards because NATO was after all formed as a military alliance against Russia.

This oft repeated lie by supporters of Russia is getting tired. Gorbachev himself said that there was no promise given to him by NATO except in east Germany, which was kept.
Would be interesting to see a similar article on car design through the years. I’ve always wondered what happened in somewhat recent years where many cars were made to look like they had an angry monster face. I haven’t looked into it much but that trend seems to be changing now in favour of more futuristic looking cars, especially the electric ones like the Ioniq 5.
Is there an example of StateT applied to IO? That's not too complex for python#++ devs?
How about my bias against being electrocuted?
Yeah I heard about advantages of Dvorak and I recently started playing with it. But Dvorak only focus on character keys. The other keys that I need like shift, escape, ctrl ... are in places that are not ideal. So definetly they can be optimized.
Using this can get your google account and related IP addresses banned? Isn't this sort of a Vandalism? But why attack Youtube out of all places? Do it to TikTok instead. They won't notice the difference(LOL). I would've said "delete this" normally but today's political climate demands more free space on the internet per individual definitely so...
I've been running a blog since '99. Started on phpslash, then slashcode, then Drupal for a loonnnnng time. I just recently moved everything to WordPress and I'm finding it mostly ok. It's not designed to do small, simple, easy, plain, but it gets the job done. I agree with this

"The most popular CMS in the world, and yet I just can’t stand its admin page."

There are some things in there I can't stand, but I said the same thing about Drupal and I used that for 15 years or so.
Cost savings.

1. The best Server Chip in terms of throughput is no longer an Intel only game, if anything it is chips Fabbed from TSMC which has a node advantage.

2. The ARM IP model has a much lower entry barrier.

3. Pref / Watt and Energy Cost saving are real.

4. HyperScaler represent roughly 50% of Intel's Enterprise Revenue. Just to give you an idea of its scale.

5. Google no longer needs to rely on x86 for its Backend Stack. And they have plenty of experience with ARM.
