> Pointing out that something has shortcomings is the first step.

Talk is cheap. If even that same critic feels that his solution to his problem is not worth pursuing, the criticism adds nothing and creates no value. At best it's nitpicking about stuff that falls in Eisenhower's "not important"/"not urgent" box.
I guess in many cases it makes sense. If the IRS messes up your tax return, you should sue the IRS and not the clerk that created it. For many government officials it's important to be protected by their organization.

Police officers just stand out because their actions can have much bigger consequences and they often act as individuals. But I don't think it should mean QI cannot exist, just that there should definitely be a different standard when it comes to life and death (or freedom in case of arrests).
I didn't say there is no one worthy in those countries. I am saying it is not the job of a company in country X to make all it can to make it possible for people in country/continent Y to be able to easily do something, even if it makes it unusable for everyone (else).
Apple appears to have a one of a kind special license for ARM (due to being a founder of the company) so they can pick and choose otherwise "required" extensions to support and add their own extensions as well. You can't directly compare an Apple design to a specific ARM version because of this.
100% agree. Been in crypto for 12 years. I’ve held this view for the last 7 years. So much delusion in the space. So much “technological orgasms” with no grounding in real world business dynamics and economics.
GitHub is a site that, among other functionality, generates HTML from markdown. With the rule as written, it’s been broken.
This is a blunt and unworkable approach. Stopping the shipping of any feature because some bug exists doesn't take what is important into account: the user experience.

A more refined approach is to triage the bugs into 4 or 5 levels of severity and then you might reasonably agree that at least all sev1 bugs must be fixed before new functionality is added.

Just using a bug triage categorisation of "will fix" or "won't fix" is not granular enough.
My guess is it's someone else's lights vs. my (future) car, that makes the difference.

Brain drain is another huge factor.

If opportunities within a country are exceptionally poor, and opportunities outside are both more remunerative and reasonably accessible, talent will flee.

You see this within countries as well (generally migration from poorer / inland parts of the US toward the coasts, though housing unaffordability has somewhat put a damper on this in the past decade), but it's especially pronounced between poorer and wealthier nations of the world.

This tends also to continue to depress opportunities within poorer countries: talent migrates elsewhere, institutions tend to be less capable / more corrupt, etc. It's a vicious cycle.
> Here's a way to try to work around things like range limitations in EVs and long charging times, by setting up infrastructure to swap batteries in and out

I think it's for the most part a non-problem. Most EV users don't wait to charge. They charge at idle times and start the day with a fully charged car. The need to charge quickly is far rarer for an EV user than going to the gas station for a gas/diesel user.

> and your first thought is about maintaining the value of your vehicle, not the utility of the system.

No, my concern is how is the system going to maintain its own utility without crashing and burning economically. Because a battery is an expensive component and ultimately has to be paid for somehow, there's no ignoring that.

> Presumably they are all leased from the vehicle company. Think "Battery as a service", not "This is mine".

The problem I see is that a battery isn't a car. With a car you can walk around it and say "you've clearly crashed into something here, we'll send you the bill for the repairs". A battery is a much more obscure component that's easier to abuse and harder to determine it's been abused.

Worse, it's a component that can suffer grievous damage by complete accident -- leave it discharged in the sun for a day or two and that'll probably hurt quite a bit.

> I don't know, this seems an odd detail to fixate on though.

How so? A car is for moving people around. People sometimes want to go far. So what happens when you take stuff you don't own into a country where that company doesn't exist? Is the company going to fine you for charging it with an unauthorized charger?

Is the utility compromised because a good part of the value was the battery swap proposition and you can't do that anymore outside of wherever this particular company has hardware?

> And does that particularly matter to you?

It matters for the survival of the system. If I don't own the battery, it's not my problem that it breaks. Therefore I have less incentive to take care of it. But the battery in the end must be paid for, so either the swap company eats the loss and goes bankrupt, or fines customers until getting a terrible PR and goes bankrupt from lack of customers.

Technically yes, but for the last decade I've seen only one instance where 587 was explicitly STARTTLS (Fastmail), everyone else just running TLS on it.

> I know it sounds crazy in today-terms

I know of no other country where tipping is such a major part of sustainable wages. In all other countries I know of, tips are a supplement to the wage - a nice-to-have, a perk of the job. Sometimes needed to make the job worthwhile, because it isn't worth doing at minimum wage. But nowhere near the extent the US has lifted it to. Basically: industrialised begging for change.

So: no, it doesn't sound crazy at all in today-terms.

If you bitch about how "this food is terrible" but you do nothing to make it more palatable or order something else and instead just stand there eating while complaining and reordering and asking for seconds... The food is not terrible, and you just enjoy bitching.

Git was already quite popular before GitHub at least in technical circles. I was using it as my first version control tool when I was learning programming. I asked some programmer friends and the answer was: "use Git, it's 10x better than SVN".

Git is designed in a way that everyone has their version of the code locally. We were hosting our projects on another service back then. GitHub is the result of Git getting traction, not something that made Git popular.
Ask yourself: given the system in its current state what change will make my customers most happy? Is it fixing this bug, or is it shipping this new feature?

Do the thing that will produce the most customer happiness in the shortest amount of time next.

Another example for you: people from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus can easily recognize other people from these countries (but we cannot recognize for sure what country exactly).
South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan were benefited hugely by becoming significant considerations within the US Cold War calculus against both the Soviet Union and China.

There was both direct engagement through defence spending and presence, as well as policy designed to specifically encourage trade relations with the US and Europe. That hit critical mass in the 1960s (Japan) and 1970s/80s (Korea).

All three regions were otherwise strongly unified culturally had had relatively little history of colonisation (arguably less so for Korea, which had in fact been occupied by Japan, than Japan or Taiwan).
And Krita doesn't hold a candle to darktable for working with photography on RAW images. So? The point is that the basic features a students need to know will be covered by free software or there will be an alternative that does. Having feature parity isn't important if copying another software isn't a goal--versus just making something good.

How many advanced GitHub features not present on other platforms do you think students are using? If the answer is none, then there's no reason to choose a proprietary service they can't hack on and are required create accounts with a for-profit entity.
I’m glad that they didn’t enter a competition meant to spur interest in technology, do something fairly reasonable, and be disqualified because they didn’t read the fine print instead of focusing on the competition itself. Oh, wait…
Well, they are good at tax avoidance, but tax evasion is not something they are usually up to.
Smartness has nothing to do with project requirements. If the requirements say "no Github", you don't use Github. It's really that simple.

The rules don't specify "github.io" or "load .md files", it broadly specifies "Github" the website "that generate[s] HTML from text" in no uncertain terms. If you then proceed to use Github, it's only fair you are disqualified.

>A more refined approach is to triage the bugs into 4 or 5 levels of severity and then you might reasonably agree that at least all sev1 bugs must be fixed before new functionality is added.

Of course, in practice this just means 3 or 4 levels of bugs that will never get fixed and languish in a backlog until the team / project gets re-orged and the entire backlog is wiped clean.

Okay, I'm joking. Sometimes those bugs become old enough they refer to features that no longer exist or can't be reproduced and then get marked as "won't fix"

This comment confused me so I looked up the definition of homophone[0].

Turns out it can mean two words sounding the same (definition 2) or merely sounding alike (definition 1). Personally I always thought homophones had to sound identical. But you are right, they are homophones in the broad sense.

I think they have the same root [1].

There was a scene in The Northman (2022) which is based on Ibn Fadlan. After seeing the movie I read the account [0] which I found very interesting. This describes the scene in the movie:

> The men came with shields and sticks. She was given a cup of intoxicating drink; she sang at taking it and drank. The interpreter told me that she in this fashion bade farewell to all her girl companions. Then she was given another cup; she took it and sang for a long time while the old woman incited her to drink up and go into the pavillion where her master lay. I saw that she was distracted; she wanted to enter the pavillion but put her head between it and the boat. Then the old woman siezed her head and made her enter the pavillion and entered with her. Thereupon the men began to strike with the sticks on the shields so that her cries could not be heard and the other slave girls would not seek to escape death with their masters. Then six men went into the pavillion and each had intercourse with the girl. Then they laid her at the side of her master; two held her feet and two her hands; the old woman known as the Angel of Death re-entered and looped a cord around her neck and gave the crossed ends to the two men for them to pull. Then she approached her with a broad-bladed dagger, which she plunged between her ribs repeatedly, and the men strangled her with the cord until she was dead.

The problem with making a shell more like a "real" interpreter REPL is the purpose of a shell: Running arbitrary programs not known to the author of the shell, such that any unknown word in a shell script is probably the name of a program as opposed to a misspelled reserved word or variable name. Those programs having arbitrary command-line arguments and having to operate on files with arbitrary names is another complexity.
You may not like it, but it’s true.
I know something about SAR and InSAR because I use radar (Earth) remote sensing in my day job, and I have a signal processing background. But I’m not a serious radar expert.

ISAR sounds like its operating principle is the same as the radar imaging technique used for these asteroid results. In general, it’s all radar imaging so you get reflectances in delay/Doppler coordinates as your observable.

One possible difference is the poor SNR of the asteroid problem — you have to average many radar images to beat down the noise. The velocity of the scattering elements on the asteroid is assumed to be the same across all these images (as far as I know). (After correcting for a known offset due to the Earth’s changing motion.)

This seems to be a little different than the ISAR “swaying boat” type of application in which the body is indeed accelerating and your radar image must be adjusted for that, or else the mast of the swaying boat will smear across the image.

It may also be worth saying that there is no synthetic aperture in the OP - it’s a physical aperture.
Updating Flatpaks takes a few seconds. The standard Discover application that comes with the KDE desktop environment is awfully slow, though.

Running flatpak update or whatever the exact command line is in the terminal will be much faster than trying to go through the GUI. I've seen this happen before on a Kubuntu install and on an Arch VM, I think it may just be a Discover bug.
That kind of corruption (paying off cops) is absolutely toxic to economic development, just as much as the bigger scale corruption.

You never know if your competitor will just bribe a government official to cancel your license. Or the bank is corrupt and your funds disappear.

Its pervasive in Vietnam. During Covid government officials charged $10,000+ USD for repatriation flights. Funny thing is they did it to the wrong people and it got back to the government and several senior officials were charged. Covid tests were rife with corruption, and the Minister of Health got busted. Hell, Anti-corruption officials were caught taking bribes.

Until Vietnam effectively deals with corruption it will stall as a middle income country.

Singapore used to be like that and with independence the government clamped down hard and still do today.

I know people who work for the Singapore government and things like “can you call your friend at immigration and check on my visa?” are a big no-no. They arent even supposed to talk to other departments except for legitimate reasons.

A truck driver who gave $0.50-$1 to get to the front of the line at a factory to offload his truck was recently found guilty of bribery in Singapore. And so was the forklift operator ge gave the money to.

And as a result you can invest in Singapore and know your money wont be stolen by some crooked government worker. Its a safe haven in SE Asia unlike any other country.
not sure that tallow and lard are necessary, but here's an interesting article that does suggest frying with saturated fats such as coconut oil or ghee, or alternatively, unrefined mustard seed or canola oil. It also has a table with data for several kinds of fats. The disadvantage to animal-derived fats, according to this, is the long-chain saturated fatty acids.

Nobody carries a fetus for 8 months and then decides to abort on a whim. Nobody. They only do it if it is medically necessary. Each late-term abortion is a very hard decision between patient and doctor. And it is rare.

Denying necessary medical intervention is cruel and harmful. Patient and doctor should be left to it, as nothing about that decision gets better by getting the law involved as well. Big government is not helpful in this case.

Unless they are cooperative games giving copies of the server data model to the client inevitably leads to wild cheating. I give you the example of Escape for tarkov, where not only the data model is shared, but the client is authoritative over the server.

This guy's about page says:

It is my professional mission to build a web that works for everyone.

Judging by this article, it's also his “professional mission” to present opinion as fact with no connection to reality.

I was on the Safari/WebKit team from 2012-2015, and I can say with absolute certainty that the author has no clue what he's talking about with respect to how bug tracking, feature/bug prioritization, or headcount works at Apple.

I could elaborate on all of that for an hour or more, but what I will say is this:

The _number one_ problem with the speed of Safari/WebKit releases has always been that they have traditionally been tied to the release of major OS versions. A few of us on the team referred to this as the “fundamental tension,” i.e. the tug-of-war between yearly OS releases and the much-faster pace of innovation of the web platform.

Everyone on the team was aware of this. Many of us lobbied to change this. The holdup was _absolutely not_ due to any kind of willingness to keep Safari behind in order to push people toward native apps, it was due to the seemingly-immovable internal culture of everything being tied to a yearly OS release.

The culture finally started to change with the advent of the Safari Technology Preview builds, which were explicitly meant to offer insight into the progress of new WebKit features. It seems like my former colleagues have done a great job in pushing for greater transparency and more frequent release cycles since then, and I applaud them for doing so.
You are describing the worst. This policy already happened, and the cartels already transformed.
