I don't know why but thinking of a balloon of that size scares me. Megalophobia?
At the end, she describes what computer scientists call the Fussy Suitor problem, without naming it. Ah, but the Fussy is the problem, mostly. She has a lot of very weird bits. She keeps talking about dating "people" but she only mentions men -- are there women in there or not? She's got some kidding on the square about men's heights in the end. Going to Israel, becoming Jewish, and getting IVF smacks of geographic panic. The Starbucks bit, I just don't know how to respond to that except that she's self-aware enough to know that this is a counterproductive behavior but she just won't try to work herself out of it -- radical self-acceptance means that your flaws get to drive sometimes, too. And then there's the occupation: developing television and film projects about abortion. That's ... really hyperfocused. I'm not sure how many stories about abortion I'd want to tell and shepherd through the process of becoming visual media for a larger audience.

No doubt, dating is hard. But here we have someone who is literally making it harder than it must be, squandering her chances, full "Hazy Shade of Winter" style ("See what's become of me / While I looked around for my possibilities"). It's self-indulgent self-torment, and it makes Sartre look like he threw in two people too many into the famous play. It's certainly the end of love for her. Whew.
The service ceiling is published as FL650. That’s defined as being able to sustain a 100fpm climb, so the absolute level flight ceiling is somewhat higher than that. Service ceiling figure is not in a zoom climb.

It would easily suffice to engage a balloon at FL600.
> Neither are truly hampered by the initial JVM roots of Scala.

I'm reminded of a talk ex-Scala guy had, where he rhetorically asked "Scala, if Java cut their nose... Gods what are you doing?!". Stuff like compareTo being an 32 bit int, rather than just 8 bit, because compatibility, and so forth. I doubt they got rid of those nitpicks.

Although what pushed me of it was order dependent Traits and implicits everywhere. Plus Arcane type signatures.

I haven't kept up with Scala since 2, but if it works for you, it works for you.

Sure, the not so early days were rough, everybody and their dog could run a self hosted email server, a lot of us actually did, and the spammer jumped on the bandwagon x1000.

But trying to solve these kind of situation with marketplaces only solve them monkey paw style. Marketplaces are for discoverability and supply and demand issues. Fundamentally I don’t want my personal communication to be supply and demand regulated. Instead I want strong enough penalties on entities that flood my inbox.

As you point out spam filters help a lot, but to me regulation was the biggest move: having a one click link to unsubscribe from ads and companies actually respect it reduced my inbox manyfold. Businesses I actually have transactions with were the hardest to filter out, and finally some progress was made in that front.

In general I feel believing marketplace are more than financial systems only leads disappointment. AppStores are the poster child marketplaces, and they’re sure full of scam and predatory content. Online ads are also marketplaces, facebook made user feeds a marketplace etc.

It is needed if you want to control for taste. Paper filter vs metal filter makes a massive taste difference in lighter roasted coffees, along with other parameters like extraction time and water temperature.

For folks that only drink darkly-roasted coffees, there is a lot less variance in taste across brew methods.

Noncompetes have no good reason to exist. If you want to pay me to do nothing, you can outbid other employers. That is to say, you're employing me with my job duties being "do whatever I want, except work for a competitor" subject to the exact kind of at-will employment that companies fought so hard to achieve.
I don't understand the premise, because I have always hated Single Page Apps.

Supporting the spy angle is the pretty obvious connectivity [...] but it also doesn't really make that much sense... surely a satellite does what this does but better? China has no shortage of high quality spy satellites.

Balloons aren't "bad satellites" or "poor-man's satellites." Satellites and balloons each have different things that they are good at.
This isn't always true. A conglomerate isn't always more efficient than separated entities.

You wouldn't get magical efficiencies by combining an oil company with an airline, for example, even though oil is a key cost component of air travel.

The same goes for compute resources and ad sales - both are roughly commodity services with lots of competitors. Youtube gets some efficiencies from vertical integration with both, due to incentive alignment, but also gets a lot of inefficiencies from the added complexity and management and the need to keep up with competitors in the commodity part of the business, which can be expensive.

The semiconductor industry is a place where you would think you would see an obvious efficiency to vertical integration - designing your process technology specifically for your chips. In practice, vertical integration between the chip design and manufacturing sides is almost gone, with a few notable exceptions. This is because it is actually not more efficient to be integrated.

Technical infrastructure seems to be similar to me.

I disagree. For 50$ you can get a basic second-hand espresso maker that produces decent servings. 10$ gets you a grinder. I've tasted espresso from all kinds of makers. Admittedly, some were noticeably better. Very rarely it was because of the machine. Mostly it was the beans. So save all that money and reinvest it in testing various beans, until you find some you like. What does a 500$ grinder even do?
Unsafe code needs to be paranoid about panics, because that’s equivalent of exception safety in C++.

However, other safe Rust code doesn’t need to care that much, because it will either unwind and run destructors, or abort the program. Both are well defined and safe.

Rust uses panics to signal programmer bugs, not normal error handling, so there isn’t much to do about them in the code, because actual “handling” of panics is fixing the bug.

It’s required in Massachusetts for all contracts since the law passed in 2018, although I’m sure a number of my previous out of state employers would be surprised if they try to enforce their non compete, especially the ones that weren’t chronologically or geographically bound.

In practice it means companies only enforce their non compete on people who they really don’t want working for competitors, but they get to make that decision at the point of the employee quitting, rather than having to make the decision up front. It’s minorly worse than just blanket banning non competes but not enough that I think it’s worth the Massachusetts legislature to spend time on it, especially if the feds end up doing a blanket ban
While reading it I was wondering if it was possible to do it with videos too and the lights containing the mains "flickering", since videos has lower sampling rates than audio it must be harder. It looks like it's harder but possible and there is an improved method for it in this paper:

We need to get a musl libc build of Bun to do it properly. The zig part of that is really easy, but we also need to build WebKit and all other dependencies with musl libc

If you use glibc-compat, you can download Bun from the github releases and that should just work. In a docker image it's about 200 MB (bun's binary is around 90 MB right now, which is way too big imo)
There are variations on this in Philip K Dick's work, like the shared hallucinatory visions in The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch or the shared experiences via the empathy boxes of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? which might be the biggest part of the book that the movie adaptations did not attempt to translate to screen.
I honestly hate open offices so much. I'm constantly amazed any work gets done with the layout.
I’ve never understood non-competes and comment on them every time I see a contract with one.

You’re paying me for my experience. I’ve gotten that experience at a previous employer, that’s how the market works. I didn’t get to this point in my career doing it for free in my spare time.

So if I’m willing to sign this broad non-compete right now, it means I can’t use the experience I get here again in the near future. But you know I’m going to get a job doing this thing, look at my work history. This thing you want me to sign away, it’s all I do. Which means if I’m willing to sign this without a compensation package that compensates me for not working during the non-compete, you know I’m going to break it.

Further, by signing this clause that’s fairly common, you can be fairly sure I’ve probably seen and signed a similar agreement already in my career that I’m breaking now.

So, again, unless you’re going to bake the value of the non-compete into this contract, you really can’t trust any employee that was willing to sign it.
> The regulation leads to a more stable market more free of outright scams though.

Bullshit.
BASE jumping? Are there structures 60,000 ft tall?
I also did a PhD on MCMC (for sampling images), and agree fully with everything you said. I'll just add that I never felt I could trust HMC at all (I hardly used it) because it was too abstract, I couldn't form much intuition about why it mightn't be mixing. On the other hand I could easily understand the deficiencies of Gibbs sampling (in my case, changing one pixel at a time) and work around them (somewhat). I came away thinking that a 'feed-forward' approximation with a fixed amount of computation (e.g. a probabilistic neural net) would have been a much superior method to MCMC.
Supporting namespacing does not preclude having the old system too. Or from having a public repo namespace like org.pypi or whatever that allows people to upload packages to the current repo using the system they currently have. Might help sort out some of the other packaging problems too - LWN had this the other day: https://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/923238/d48af5401c04db7d/ . Maybe it would help with the integrator notion org.conda or whatever.

Depending on how something like this is implemented, maybe com.github could set it up to pull straight from the project repo.

Just because there's ways it could go poorly, doesn't mean it will go poorly.
I generally prefer vim to vscode. But being able to jump to the file where highlighted functions/classes/etc are defined in vscode is very convenient and something I am not able to do in vim. I'm sure there's probably a vim plugin that can allow me to do this too but I just haven't spent the time to look for it.
That doesn't prevent their propaganda from saying what they say.

The full twitter thread is worth a read (https://twitter.com/gbrumfiel/status/1628776107301273601). Brings to mind the story in December 2022 about confirming the B-21 hangar location from the night sky in a press photo (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33912401). Not enough of the sky for that here though. Wonder if folks in this space have a more automated process to recognize the landscape rather than "Hella scrolly scrolly on Google Earth"...
Yeah both are U-shaped, at least from one side. I'm not sure why this commonality is the case, but it's not unseen to have U-shaped buildings. Even the Kanzleramt is U-shaped, the Russian embassy in Berlin, or the BND headquarters.

> Adams said Black people are a hate group, citing a recent Rasmussen survey which, he said, shows nearly half of all Black people do not agree with the phrase “It’s okay to be white.”

Pay attention to this common trick, where journalists omit checking an easily verifiable fact, and choose to report it as if it were a mere unfounded statement by their target. "He said" it, because that is what the survey actually showed:

BLACK AMERICANS ONLY: "It's okay to be white." 53% agree, 26% disagree, 21% not sure - https://twitter.com/Rasmussen_Poll/status/162846019293223731...

The article itself is paywalled [1], but this somewhat dubious website reporting on it [2] claims it found that: By race, 81% of Whites, 53% of Blacks and 58% of other races at least somewhat agreed it’s alright to be white.

Also, I finally got a workable link. Wolfram really fought me on this one and it shows the dimensionality incorrectly, but the number is correct. 32 trillion trillion dollars (3.2E25). So a hundred times more.

It's theoretically possible to get up there in a manned balloon, but this was up at FL600. Most aircraft can't even go that high. It's not something that's done casually.

Going up to those altitudes is the domain of either the military or someone trying to set a record. It's not a forgiving environment - you basically need a space suit up there. I'm fairly confident that nobody has the equipment for such a mission sitting around ready for use on short notice, especially if you want to stay up there for any length of time before you run out of air.

As for base jumping... uh, gravity points in the wrong direction for that. This is twice as high as Mt. Everest.
Maybe it's because I read Singh's excellent "the code book" right before "Cryptonomicon" - but I found it a mediocre, overly long and contrived take on similar concept/material.

I thought "Snow Crash" was fun, and "Diamond Age" is one of my favorite books - although - come to think of it - it's probably about time I read it again...

I’ve viewed it as backlash for the way they were promoted heavily as the solution for web development based on claims about being faster or more reliable. One of the weird things about that period was that people would say something about performance, you could point to WebPageTest.org or RUM stats showing the opposite was true, and have people just trying to handwave around it. After a decade of those problems not going away, I think a lot of people have been realizing that there is something fundamental at work.

I’d like to think that as a field we’ve learned something about measuring claims or not picking your architecture based on what someone in a different business with different users is doing, but experience otherwise.
Geek, nerd, and dork can all be used positively/affectionately. I know I've called myself and friends all of the above on many occasions.
Agree, propaganda makes wonders. But the people from "my circle" just don't watch TV (and that's not surprising given that ~40% of people in Moscow or Saint-Pete don't watch TV). I completely acknowledge that "my circle" does not represent general population and I wrote it in the original post.
Would that make you immortal? If not, still 100%.
Wouldn’t the optimal strategy be to invest in the type rating _and_ increase the pilots salary by 40k/yr? You wouldn’t refuse to invest in new equipment that makes your employees more efficient just because they might learn a skill using it, why should explicit training not be evaluated the same way?
Because the market for such items include people who are willing to believe it is worth that much.
So they shouldn’t be reported on at all because they’re ‘all’ illegal?
Not only has Shakespeare been rewritten many times, many of the rewrites are used academically. Many are even better received.

It's a book for children. That is quite obvious.

You have missed the point.
I'm not protecting the obese or advocating for censorship.

It is unwise to introduce some word associations to children, such as a negative conotation to a word, because they are limited in their understanding. This also seems obvious
> So instead of being a sober discussion around the pros and cons of using certain technologies in certain scenarios, it’s being recast to resemble the fashion industry where everyone is insisting that their trend is the next big thing.

If they were still easily accessible, you could go back and read identical drama play out on 50 year old usenet newsgroups and mailing lists. Our industry is built on the genius of many clever tinkers who could get any tool to meet any task, and plenty enough stubborn contrarians and manic hype-builders ready to argue to their death (or until the next fashion comes through) that the one true light has finally been glimpsed.

Meanwhile, countless quiet and productive teams privately figured out how to use a tool well and just stuck with it for as long as it still made sense, not letting themselves getting so wrapped up in the public hullabaloo -- just like you did with your EmberJS project.

The fashion debates reflect that a lot of work is actually art, while those many quiet, healthy projects reflect the engineering processes that see us get paid better than most other artists.
A well done SPA is pretty much indistinguishable from server side rendering. Perhaps even better. They use real links which you can copy and middle click, but if you regular click, js hijacks the event and changes the page without a full page reload and then inserts a history event so it’s just like a normal link but slightly better.

The hate for single page apps is about bad ones. Which are unfortunate common

Feels fairly simple. A decent chunk of people always disliked SPAs, due to their very obvious disadvantages. Another chunk of people always liked them, either due to novelty or to their, again, fairly obvious advantages.

Depending on who you talk to or what online forums you frequent, you may have had an impression that the first group was far smaller (or larger) than the last group. Due to changes in the media you consume, or changes to the culture of various online forums, it may seem to you like the first group is now larger (or smaller!) than the second instead.

On the margin I suppose a few people who liked SPAs due to the novelty may have got bored with them, but most people, I think, have had pretty static views about SPAs, because the pros and cons are pretty obvious.

Yeah, okay, some prominent engineer tweeted something bad about SPAs last month and it went semi-viral, but prominent engineers have been tweeting and writing bad things about SPAs for the entire existence of SPAs. And more than a few of those have gone pretty viral.

Better question might be "How come I saw this tweet on my feed, but didn't notice all the earlier ones?", but I don't think that's super interesting.

Disney's business lines are pretty synergistic. You have a media company, at its core, that provides other entertainment (theme parks) related to its IP, sells merchandise, and runs 3 different online distribution platforms for the media companies.

The Disney corporation is built around exploiting the rights to these media IPs to the fullest.

In contrast, Amazon is the online version of Walmart that can also sell you computing time and makes feature films which are just a perk of their "fast shipping" club.

There's a pretty clear distinction here, even with one of the other mega-conglamerates (disney) that probably owns too many different content production units.
To publish on social media or a blog, you need an angle/story, that will establish you as the expert.

To build, you just build.
