Thank you for your kind words and astute observations. This is very reason we created Plane. While many existing solutions cater to specific methodologies or serve as simple tracking tools, Plane enables users to begin with a basic task tracking tool and progressively adopt various project management frameworks, such as Agile, Waterfall, and many others. These frameworks come pre-built in Plane, making it easy for teams to transition between, blend, or customize methodologies to match their needs and preferences.

> 90 degree vs 45 degree bends do not matter.

The book "Right The First Time" devotes a whole chapter to debunking 90-degree bends as problematic, except under extraordinary circumstances like transmission lines > 50GHz. But ask yourself: have you ever seen something like a DDR4 length-matching snake that used 90-degree bends? Why are beveled corners absolutely universal? Is there some manufacturability problem with right angles in traces? Or are there weird problems caused by dozens of equally-spaced right angles on the same trace?
A lot of big companies (like BigTech) usually get away with blatant violations of law or regulations for years, the process of doing something to stop them drags on forever, if it even starts...

> > And you're missing a data point: nuclear is also the most expensive form of energy ever conceived.

But it is.

The generation of electricity through nuclear power plants in the United States cost 29.13 U.S. dollars per megawatt-hour in 2021.[1]

> Also there's nothing intrinsically expensive about nuclear,

Oh, but there certainly is. The historically high cost of nuclear power electricity is largely due to capital costs (that you would be paying for whether the plants produced electricity or not), and because plants in the US have often not been designed to ramp up and down easily, they tend to be operated continuously. It takes $10B before the first watt of electricity is generated. Uranium costs a fortune. Waste storage is astoundingly expensive due to amount of time it must be stored, not to mention the cost of security for that storage.

Meanwhile,

a typical solar system in the U.S. can produce electricity at the cost of $0.06 to $0.08 per kilowatt-hour.[2]

Lex Fridman interview with the founder.
There are no link specific sections on HN, only submissions and comments. One can filter out some of the submissions using uBlock Origin [1]. LLM's are today what blockchain was some time ago. It should eventually start to fade.

To filter in uBlock:

Addons -> uBlock Origin -> Preferences -> My Filters, Append something like:

# top (title / url)
news.ycombinator.com##tr.athing span.titleline > a:has-text(/(lockchain|202[3-9]$|GPT|LLM|OpenAI)/):upward(tr)
# bottom (stats / comments)
news.ycombinator.com##tr.athing span.titleline > a:has-text(/(lockchain|202[3-9]$|GPT|LLM|OpenAI)/):upward(tr) + *

It's not perfect but that would hide some of the blockchain submissions, some that have title that ends with a year and a few of the LLM submissions. This example could probably be improved quite a bit. Edit as you see fit.

For the parquet question: currently CozoDB is developed by a single developer (me), but I am starting to explore ways of expanding the development team. Certainly a lot more features will be added if that happens, and parquet support looks like a really useful one.
I've tried helping keeping and seeding some historical archives, but it gets tedious quickly downloading one by one (and there's not much activity in them anyway). It would be nice if there was a more organized way of helping archival! (like downloading a large chunk of their database and seeding it automatically)
If they so, they probably wont release them?

Some background - they didn't IPO. They deSPAC'd, the idea being to raise a load of cash and then go on an acquisition spree, get scale, and therefore get leverage with ad buyers. So they did this thinking they'd raise $300m. But due to the weird way SPACs work, 94% of the investors walked away rather than close the deal, so rather than raise 300, they raised 16mil. So suddenly they're a public company, they've raised basically no money, they've got no scale - which was their entire plan. They've just been bleeding to death since then, and Buzzfeed News is something the CEO loves, but loses money hand over fist and he's finally had to let his baby die.
It’s also possible the engines were damaged by flying debris off the pad.
So generally you have to copy arrays, you can't meaningfully move them (you can move each element of course). For vectors with heap allocated backing store of course you only need to copy the pointer to heap.

For this particular example it seems that the rust compiler is failing to implement the equivalent of NRVO though, so it is not necessarily related to mives. Do rust semantics allow NRVO? There are no copy/move constructors with side effects, so the only issue is object identity.

Disclaimer: I'm just a c++ programmer, I know very little about rust.
Big fan of advice like this.
[Spoiler ahead]

Watched the live stream, I knew they had a bad problem when it appeared the engines were facing upwards. My time with KSP has taught me that no matter how well you think the flight is going, the rocket is still more than eager to return to earth given the chance.

I wonder what actually caused the explosion? Did they scuttle it after a few flips? Did a tank break after a few flips and unplanned stresses? I guess we don't know yet.
Great prediction.

> The most likely outcome is that something will go wrong during this flight.
You really don't seem to be arguing in good faith. If it is already "illegal to kill someone" and we shouldn't "make it double-illegal", then we don't need vehicular manslaughter laws, either. For that matter, why have any of the regulations on safely operating anything. After all, it would be illegal for the worst case already? Why restrict sales of ingredients that can make meth? Why regulate anything?

And how is it false that we have more random gun violence than bombing? I can list, this week, more than 1 place where a legal gun owner killed someone. It is famously in the news right now. When is the last time we had a random bomb in a city here?

I haven't even proposed taking away all guns. Nobody gives a shit about most hunting weapons. Nor do they care about any properly held weapons with responsible care and protections.
Indeed, it is not ideal. What you see as a result from a decision to solve that problem in parallel instead of before launches. SpaceX is actively working on their launch stand, just not delaying lunches until they have it worked out. There will be many iterations of it before it is final, just as there will be many iterations of the Starship with increasing capability
I'm guessing it's the old "in mice" thing that needs to be added to the title, which has become somewhat of a trope here ;)

Awesome! It is also fantastic for understanding chunks of Bash script, Perl, AWK etc where if you don't know something then it's next to impossible to search for it using a non-AI search engine.

Bonus: you can also use it to understand what the various flags in a command do.
This is not a universal rule, nor should it be.

> In LEO you on an elevator would be travelling about 1,400mph

That's a pretty significant speed already and it helps that you are already in space. See how tiny a Pegasus rocket is, and that one is launched from aircraft, slower, and nowhere near as high as what we are discussing.

https://www.northropgrumman.com/space/pegasus-rocket/

Getting to 100km from ground requires beefy first (even second) stages because you need to accelerate further stages plus the fuel, inside the atmosphere. We can basically pretend we are starting at the second or third stages. It now up to the rocket equation.

So, to recap, there's already 1400mph of sideways motion, at a negligible air resistance, 100 to 200km up with vacuum optimized nozzles. It is a massive win.

The question is if we could hoist what are still relatively heavy payloads.

That's not what's going on here, he's limiting the vocabulary to existing English words which derive from Old English and inventing some new words using existing morphemes of Old English origin.

BuzzFeed News also lost credibility to me during the Trump administration, when the Mueller team publicly disputed the outlet's report on a Cohen-Trump story.

From The New Yorker [0]:

"The story was sourced to “two federal law enforcement officials involved in an investigation of the matter.” However, once it was published, other federal officials spoke up. Mueller’s office released a rare public statement, saying that “BuzzFeed’s description of specific statements to the special counsel’s office, and characterization of documents and testimony obtained by this office, regarding Michael Cohen’s congressional testimony are not accurate.” BuzzFeed, and its editor, Ben Smith, have stood by the story."

[...]

"I recently spoke by phone with Leopold about his reporting of this story and his other work on the Trump-Russia affair. Leopold, who was previously at Vice News, is considered an expert at using Freedom of Information Act requests and was part of a team of BuzzFeed reporters who were Pulitzer Prize finalists in 2018. He has also been the subject of controversy. In 2002, Salon removed an article from its Web site after Leopold was accused of inaccuracy and plagiarism. Four years later, he incorrectly reported that Karl Rove, George W. Bush’s deputy chief of staff, had been indicted in the investigation into the outing of the C.I.A. agent Valerie Plame. (Leopold was open about past substance abuse and mental health issues in a 2006 memoir, “News Junkie.”)"

I still respect the outlet's FIFA story, but BuzzFeed News remained a step below mainstream outlets with investigations like The Washington Post.

Gladwell's a good writer, but almost never backs up his positions with empirical evidence. I don't mind too much because I like his writing, but I wouldn't really trust his theories too much because he is a storyteller first.
Absolutely genius.
Does anyone here know how to corroborate Mullvad's account of this event? Perhaps we can find the Swedish entity that wrote the warrant and any public information reported by the officers executing said warrant?

If such information is publicly accessible, and it corroborates Mullvad's story here, I'd feel like that's pretty compelling evidence that we can trust that Mullvad isn't simply committing fraud by promising not to log customer data while actually logging it.
The N1 didn't really fit the testing driven development approach, they couldn't static fire the flight engines, they ended up relying on test firing extra engines from the same batch and assuming all in a batch were the same.

Frankly comparing Tesla and SpaceX is getting to be a tiresome argument. They're owned by one "eccentric" billionaire, but he's not an engineer, they don't share staff, facilities or manufacturing outside of "hey this alloy is pretty good".

SpaceX's strategy for the Falcon 9 worked and it's one of the most reliable rockets in the world, flying the most often.
> After that, they still have a fair way to go on Raptor reliability

I suspect the debris from blowing a whole in the ground was the biggest contributing factor for the engines out. It looked like at lease 4 we're gone before it left the pad.
Thanks for sharing! Super helpful and easy to follow.

One suggestion: Audio queues would be great. I heard a beep when it was first starting but not after that (iOS). And maybe a gong or chime sound would be more relaxing.

Ask HN: Is certificate of completion better or a portfolio of projects?
I wanted to learn programming since ~15, though got to begin with self-education in programming (Python, C/C++) and CS only a couple years ago. I've designed several projects in my main areas of interest to practice programming skills and am slowly moving towards them. I am using mostly free resources and haven't exhausted them yet.

But now my country, which reliably resides in the top 10 countries list by suicide rate, and is the only EU country by suicide rates in the top 10, as well as having reliably maintained this one of the highest suicide rate for decades, doesn't allow secondary or tertiary free education or even free self-education. The unemployment service through which I am receiving small temporary unemployment benefits after having a job for several years with no vacations and holidays asks for certificates of completion for programming courses I am/was taking/auditing.

It seems somewhat above their level of comprehension to mention that, for example, both Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg didn't even finish their bachelor's degrees in CS and now are making way more than hundreds of developers with certificates of completion of any CS courses.

I have nothing against obtaining a certificate of completion, but wouldn't a portfolio of well designed and programmed projects provide approximately the same amount of information about programming skills?

Would you assign more value to a certificate of CS course completion or an implemented project demonstrating skills?
