Frankly, why is it so hard? The article doesn't really show anything outside dust playing role in the very final stage but most landings failed higher above ground. These days we even have lasers to instantly detect distance to the ground that could be incorporated real-time to thruster output. There is almost no atmosphere for friction so basic Newtonian mechanics should be able to make a decent landing. Orbital mechanics is also out of the question near the ground. Why is this still an unsolved problem?

> 2) American portion sizes for one meal could feed an entire African family for a week, American portions are obscene

I don't get why people get so up in arms about this, especially as it's socially acceptable to take out leftovers (unlike, say, Italy). Personally, I'm a tallish, moderately active guy and I need some 3.5k-4k kcal a day, and America is the only country I've been to that I don't have to worry about being hungry after a meal out.
My favorite language implementation tutorial is "An Incremental Approach to Compiler Construction" by Abdulaziz Ghuloum: http://scheme2006.cs.uchicago.edu/11-ghuloum.pdf

What makes it stand out is that it shows you how to build a compiler rather than an interpreter, and shows that it's really not that much more difficult.

There is a book-length "sequel" to this paper that goes into more detail: https://github.com/IUCompilerCourse/Essentials-of-Compilatio...
Android has (through FDroid, as Google Play Store no longer permits it) Termux, The Only App Which Does Not Specifically and Precisely Suck[tm] (though as before, Einkbro is increasingly stiff competition).

Termux offers an arguably rich Linux userland, with over 2,500 packages (2,581 listed as I write this). That's still a small fraction of the total number of Debian packages, which now exceeds 57,000, but the tools which are available are a highly useful set and includes numerous scripting languages (Perl, Python, Ruby, Node.js, etc.) and compilers, along with several repositories associated with those tools. All told, Termux is far more than a toy.

But ...

... it's still hampered by numerous Android limitations:

- No root access unless your device is rootable (and rooted).

- No multi-user capabilities or security.

- Limited to the default Android filesystem limitations (including being locked out of most of the filesystem), and limited filesystem permissions capabilities.

- Subject to Android's process-management and process-reaping "features", which mean your shell session(s) may be killed off at any time.

- Limited on-board keyboard support. Even with an external bluetooth keyboard there are quirks and issues.

I can do, and do do quite a bit with the system. It remains limited and crippled in numerous ways though I can often avoid the sharpest of edges.

There's no full-fledged equivalent on iOS, and many years of attempting to provide even a fraction of Termux's capabilities (through ISH) seems to be running into even steeper headwinds than Termux has had to deal with.
> Only three entities have successfully soft-landed on the Moon — the government-funded space agencies of China, the Soviet Union and the United States. And only China has done it since the 1970s and on its first attempt.

This sounds as if the journalist tries to downplay the fact that NASA managed to do it a) first, and b) actually landed humans on the moon, not just unmanned vehicles. The only thing which makes it less impressive is the enormous budget of the Apollo program.

I'm assuming people become members of the politburo after a substantial career in the political party apparatus, maybe even longer than it takes to become a member of congress. Of course, there will be differences between coming up in the one system or the other, but essentially I'd say they are career politicians just the same.

Presumably, there's also a very strong selection process to make it into the top ranks of this political system, that will have a very strong effect on who gets there and how they get shaped on the way - not mentioning the forces within, once you're in place.

So while it would be wrong to say the initial background makes no difference, I wonder how much influence it still holds once you make it into the politburo.

I can see this. I owned a record store in the 90s, and an ecomm spin off of the store from 97 to 07. In any case, "diggin in the creates" as its said is an adventure. It's a ritual. Thumbing through bins, holding and admiring the cover art...maybe talking to other shoppers. It's unique. And certainty can't be duplicated online.

As something to do with friends. As something to collect (a la baseball cards), I can see it. I guess that's why there are used records stores popping up.
I think the GP was talking about vendor supported Linux. Apple doesn't support Linux on their BootCamp partitions I don't believe.
Dumb laser distance measurement should solve that easily for you. You can literally use some very basic math with thruster output based on your downward distance/speed.
Earth is pretty easy to do if you do it the simplest way, via atmospheric braking all the way down. You have to have a heat shield and parachutes, but if you have the equipment the atmospheric braking doesn't require any fancy calculations besides getting the entrance angle right (so you don't bounce off into space or burn up by going too steep).

Mars is probably the worst of both worlds, you have a thin atmosphere that is a nuisance but not very good for braking.

I host my own email server (postfix, and dovecot) and I have DKIM/SPF setup correctly, and have helped close to a dozen others I know setup theirs.

I have had ZERO issues.

What I believe, but not certain, the issue others may have revolves around the host record, and reverse lookup of an IP address of your mail server. If the reverse lookup points to something other than your CNAME record, Google doesn't like it, and it gets flagged.

For instance, my mail server has a CNAME of host.foo.com, and mail.foo.com, and I have two aliases imap.foo.com, and smtp.foo.com. I have had my service provider change the reverse lookup for my mail address to host.foo.com, where it was xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.location-att.swbell.com (or something to that affect), as multiple services are on that IP address. I only have a block of 5. The smtp server needs to respond with the reverse lookup name. So for postfix, the smtpd_banner needs to be host.foo.com. Google does do a reverse query to validate the user, and domain, most of the time.

Also, Google maintains their own internal DNSBL. If your email is getting flagged, and the above is correct, then the IP address you've obtained from your ISP has been problematic in the past. Email Gmail to ask to be removed with the new domain, and don't do it until the reverse lookup and pointer records have changed.

You also need to contact the various spam black list sights and get your IP address removed. If you SPAM, you will get blacklisted. I also host a blacklist.

The author of this article should have known about this, and wrote a very misleading article.
Have you read the book "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie[^1]? I know the title makes the book sound like a cheap hack but trust me, it's an excellent book and IMHO everyone should read it.

Not really. A lot of MBAs go into things like management consulting, finance, certain types of marketing roles, but even things like product management/program management. I'm not sure it's really that common to hop straight from an MBA to a management role (unless it's a case of someone already in management or being groomed for management who goes back to school to get a degree). It's also the case that, at the better business schools, most of the students have at least some experience in any case.

What is true is that generally speaking (though not in all cases) once someone goes into management--and certainly executive management--they tend to not go back into individual contributor roles although it does happen. And, in general, MBA degrees are probably more common in the US than in Europe.
But the choice isn't between doing a startup and doing nothing. It's between doing a startup and taking an established tech job at, say, a FAANG. For most definitions of success, the second route leads to success with pretty high probability. While a startup win has much higher payoff, I suspect that the expected utility is higher for the other option.

Not sure I understand. Udemy being fined for deceptive advertising won’t have any impact on whether other companies decide to break other laws. Regulatory capture is an entirely unrelated thing, that’s when law-makers are influenced to make laws that serve the interests of the entities they’re supposed to be regulating. Companies breaking laws and courts punishing law-breakers are not involved in the law-making process.

Yes. Wolfram gets the point across, but the lack of formality makes the taxonomy appear somewhat arbitrary which leaves one hanging. Thanks for the tip about Ilachinski's book. I notice it was published around the same time as NKS which makes me curious about the overlap in content; it certainly seems to have a more formal approach.

Honestly, just block all everything except the traditional TLDs like .com, .net, etc. and country-code TLDs for countries you expect to interact with. It's a trivially easy way to greatly reduce the amount of junkmail you receive, and saves on compute resources too (since you can reject mail before it even hits your AV/anti-spam/etc. stack).

In many years of doing this at work I think we've had to manually whitelist three domains (our corporate travel provider started sending from a .travel domain instead of their .com without telling us they would make that change...). I don't have numbers handy but it significantly reduced our junkmail intake.

Thanks for making the Henry Rollins' carbohydrate reference. It's a great way to label these two modes of listening that we all experience.

----

"I have two basic food groups of music: protein and carbohydrate.

The protein listening is new music, where it’s unfamiliar to me so I’m listening, sometimes taking notes, researching the band while the music is playing. I do quite a bit of this, usually during the week.

On the weekends, I will allow for some carbohydrate listening, which would be records I’m familiar with, that I’ve been playing for years. This music is not exactly background, but more of an environmental asset for elevation of mood."

Yes. The failure mode of a human and chatgpt are nothing alike — I am far more experienced in spotting beginner mistakes in code reviews, then seemingly good, but actually illogical bullshit code generated by LLMs.

Many of us have an overly simplistic view of orbital mechanics that fall well short of how it works in the real world. Take the example of India's failed Vikram lander [1]:

> The official said that predicting orbits below 50 km is very tricky and usually they are estimated with an accuracy of plus/minus 1 km. If the lander`s predicted height was at 30 km, the actual orbit height may remain anywhere between 29 to 31 km.

> Similar will be the error in horizontal direction. Such errors occur as local gravity varies widely due to large variation of density of mountains and plains.

Newton's gravity equations deal with bodies like the Moon as having uniform mass. That's not he case and it matters.

Fun fact: China's Three Gorges Dam slowed down the Earth's rotation by 0.06 microseconds per day [2]. That's actually not a big deal because the rotation has variance all of its own from tides, weather, etc.

So even if you had a density map of the Moon you'd still have to account for variance added by rotational variation.

It seems unusual that the company would rely solely on theworknumber to verify employment. My equifax report shows me having two employers, one from 13 years ago and one from 16 years ago and doesn’t show my current employer.

So it seems unlikely that this is the only method the anonymous person whose story this is based on actually used that data.

Also, if someone has three jobs and violates one of the jobs employment agreement, then it makes sense that they are fired. That’s unethical. My employer doesn’t allow second jobs without ethics reviews and I’d be fired (or at least really chewed out) if I had a second job.
> has any of the recent attempts to the moon given us footage of the lunar lander and other machinery that was left behind from the prior missions?

> this would easily put the conspiracy theories to bed

no, you are dealing with people who nit pick data, rejecting anything that does not support their position as falsified.

Attempts at reasoning are in my experience often met with emotion and ad hominem responses (e.g. the classic comparison to species of Ovis). Logic does not apply here.
It really depends on the language and framework you're using how convenient OpenAPI actually is to implement. In many cases there's a lot of additional manual effort involved if you can't auto generate a schema, or at least generate one that is good enough to then generate client libs from.
I think this kind of "batteries included" approach is interesting. My feeling is that in many cases we spend way too much time when building our platforms from various bits and pieces. Some apps and businesses would get huge productivity boost by using more opinionated platform.

Not saying this is for everything and everyone, but there's so much competition on this space that I can understand why somebody would like to try something different.

The traditional system in the UK had four ranks: lecturer, senior lecturer, reader, and professor. Depending on who you ask, a reader was either equivalent to US full processor or between associate and full professor. For example, when Cambridge switched to the assistant / associate / full ranks a couple of years ago, readers became professors.
Well, google has become utterly bad at its job — I fail to find sites I remember verbatim quotes from, so expert google-usage is no longer a possibility. It will gladly leave out any of your important keywords, even if you add quotes around it, absolutely useless. Sure, the average person will search for “how old is X” not “x age”, but for more complex queries the first form is not a good fit.

That said, I can’t really use ChatGPT as a search engine, but I did plug it into a self-hosted telegram bot and I do ask it some basic questions from time to time - telegram is a good UI for it.

It's nitpicking. You can make 500 steps vs 100, and make a headline-like claim that it's five times more. In real life difference is negligible. Your organism requires walking in significant doses, and for you to practice it, you have to live in a walkable space (it includes infrastracture, and safety).
