Soyuz can fit 3 but can be flown with less (modern Soyuz can be unmanned). They arrived on Soyuz T-13; later, T-14 arrived with a relief crew of 3; T-15 came with 2. So that's 7 cosmonauts lofted with 9 seats.

(T-15 actually docked with both Salut 7 and Mir, the first spacecraft to ever dock with two different stations on the same mission.)

Yeah, just saying suffering is bad without any context is not helpful. Apart from being unavoidable, certain kinds of suffering produces happiness for people down the road. For example, running & training for a marathon was suffering but the reward and experience of doing it was life changing, taught me so much about myself.
There are a lot of good reasons to do this, even if it's just better interop between different branches of the government, all cool.

However, you then realize that the military is funded by public money. I'd wager you don't want fighter jet or missile guidance software to be open source.

The idea is way too simplistic and lacks nuance.

Sure thing buddy. One of the ways the "little guy" can push back against big banks and big government needs to have its plug pulled because of some imaginary 2 degrees panic. What the hell happened to "Hacker" in "Hacker News", this place is a cesspool of the mainstream rhetoric.

Lol this is great.
Probably not fair to single the schools out. You could look at other factors like single parent households, which are very strongly associated with negative outcomes and on the rise since like... 1950. Dual-income households which fall between the "we can't afford private tutors" and "we can't afford extracurriculars" income brackets but solidly in the "we've maximized our minimal time with our child" category. Not to mention the huge wealth disparity in some metros. Rapidly growing metropolitan areas that simply can't accommodate the masses. There's also all the federal benchmarks, and that's shit that rolls downhill, but from my experience the teachers I personally know don't like the system as it is - it's just that their bosses and on up demand quantifiable results on standardized tests because continued funding is contingent on it. In a lot of cases hands are tied by legal and ethics.

I also expect the unions are representative of their constituents. Where I live all the teachers wanted to be back, and we were among the earliest states back in action. Coincidentally highly conservative and rural (mostly one and the same).

But I don't disagree with the more general statement as things stand, and funding is dealt with by a headcount of students - this might provoke positive reactions in the market.

That’s the thing. A home should not be an “investment”, it should be a “home”, a home to live and give safety/security, not land, bricks and mortar someone purchases to make a capital gain or rental yield.

Why do people want a “home”? It provides a security renting doesn’t, you can make it your home.

Renting can be more flexible if you are nomadic, it can also be a huge pain dealing with leases, rental increases, dodgy landlords, a lack of security so can’t truly settle on a 12 month lease.

As someone who was homeschooled for most of my childhood, I would say the results of it are as much or more of a mixed bag than public schooling is. It depends largely on how much time and energy the parents pour into it, and it's very easy for them to not be doing enough even if they have intentions otherwise.

Additionally, homeschooling has a tendency to produce adults who lack real world experience and perspective due to the unavoidably sheltered nature of such arrangements. This is something that has taken me many years to overcome to become a functional person, and if I'm being honest, is still a work in progress even in my mid-30s. It's not something I'd want to saddle any potential children of my own with.
I think a fast compile is essential.

I've worked on projects with slow and fast compiles, and man, it's a completely different world. The way you think about problems and approach them, the way you approach adding new code, it's just completely different.

Slow compile times makes the entire process of adding, changing, or debugging the code slower. It makes it painful, frustrating, and more confusing. It's nonlinear. Doubling the time to compile a project can quadruple the time to solve problems, in my experience.
The video says that it's accurate that every night proprietary software is stealing citizen's healthcare data and that the solution is for the government to locate all of the software it needs from scratch and open source it. Why stop at rebuilding all software from scratch? You will also want to rebuild computers from scratch, light bulbs from scratch, etc. The government doesn't need to invent everything from scratch. It can be cheaper and more effective them to buy goods and services from public companies.

The website has another message that publically funded software should be open source, but that's not always possible. The government may not have the rights to even do so if they outsourced some of the development. The software is often niche and would not benefit others. In fact it can be a security risk because attackers can look for security vulnerabilities or weaknesses in systems. Attackers have a much bigger insensitive to look for security problems than security researchers because there won't be a bug bounty, it isn't software they personally use, and it could be some rare piece of software no one knows or cares about. If most talented developers are working at private companies, that means that the remaining developers who chose to work for the government are likely more prone to have poor security practices. If attackers know the supply chain of the software they can attack it. If these are open source in the sense they take contributions attackers can contribute vulnerabilities. Open sourcing code is also extra work that has to be done and will make the software more expensive to make and maintain.

>Tax savings

>Similar applications don't have to be programmed from scratch every time

Buying existing software means you don't have to program it from scratch. Sharing projects with other agencies doesn't require open source.

>Collaboration

>Major projects can share expertise and costs.

This doesn't require open source either. The government if they didn't have an income stream from leaching off it's population would be incentivized to figure this out.

>Serving the public

>Applications paid by the public should be available for everyone.

Most of the software will be useless to the public.

>Fostering innovation

>With transparent processes, others don't have to reinvent the wheel.

This is just the collaboration point. The government isn't innovative in the software field.

> I'm debating if leaks are a net positive overall

No.

You're arguing with the claim that intelligence leaks have killed greater than 1 humans in history.

Everything else is a distraction from that question. If you can't agree on a common set of facts, like that one, you aren't ready to graduate to the next discussion, whether it be a comparative discussion of net benefits or anything else. And by the way that claim is 100% clear in all of my comments. If you choose to engage me then accept to discuss that claim or stop wasting time.

Your inability to acknowledge the simple truth of the claim we're discussing shows you to be the one treating this as a debate, and you're the one insisting on "winning" by refusing to acknowledge even a basic set of facts.

Until you can do that, you're not ready for the next topic, which, obviously, necessarily builds upon that shared set of facts. It's like trying to discuss the circumference of earth with someone who refuses to acknowledge it's round(ish).

I remember school as a massive waste of time, but it definitely helped me develop social skills.

That said, I'm really not seeing this effect with my kids in the SF Bay Area. They have few opportunities to socialize on school grounds, and are then whisked away by parents and taken to after-school classes or back home to sit in front of a computer. "Socialization" boils down to kids hanging around on social networks on their phones. And even these seem to be shifting from chat to passive consumption (TikTok, etc).

This is a lot to accuse without any evidence. Is there empirical data showing that these issues are as rampant as you claim? I have similar anecdata to the parent post - Groups/Marketplace/Messenger has been great for my family and friends, across a wide range of interests and use cases.

My take is that if you intentionally look for terrible things on the internet you'll be able to find it, and Facebook is no exception. It's non-sensical to think that organizing insurrections and losing your SSN is the de facto experience though.
Yes absolutely, I was just pointing out that there were in those days people still committed to bottom up parsing despite the advantages of top down approaches. The bottom up parsing with LR parsers that I was familiar with always used a table driven approach for the language grammar and assumed a separate lexer, sometimes hand written and sometimes generated by a program like lex. To me, the effort saved by using lex and yacc was completely lost by having to incorporate extra work to get good error messages for users out of LR parsers.

Recursive descent over a character stream might have a negative performance impact, but I’m not sure of this considering the simple grammar involved in the lexical portion of the overall grammar and the ability of today’s tools to optimize function calls via inclining etc. If I was writing a compiler today for modern hardware, I would like to try using recursive descent on a single grammar that went all the down to the characters.
I am in support of it too, ultimately, but after working on federal government software projects, it is a very huge uphill battle.

Consider this: your trying to build a grants management system for Defense contractors in Afghanistan. You want to make sure that public money is not going to terrorists sanctioned by the US government. There is a forensic accounting software platform widely used by firms that audit the banking industry,but it is closed source and sold to firms commercially. Should the government spend money on making new software or license the existing software that works extremely well? Should the configuration for what the government creates on that software be open to the public, and open to competitors to imitate? Should they demand that the source code is released? Also what about national security?

Would AWS release all their source code to retain their largest customer, the US government?

I agree that the amount of closed source software used in government projects is staggering and a legitimate barrier to government IT working properly. But the broken process that governments spend money is a bureaucratic nightmare. I am not sure their would be technical downsides, but absolutely their are political ones.

The only thing that I could imagine being an actual downside is the retention of confidential information in the interest of national security or public trust. That is a political minefield already, and open source code can help with security, so I don't even think that is the largest hurdle.
I also learned a valuable lesson from running a marathon. Mainly how to be comfortable with being uncomfortable.
I’m a U.S. citizen and currently have bank accounts in 3 EU countries and one other non-US country.

The bank I expect will kick me out doesn’t want non-EU citizens who are not EU residents. The bank that did, I think it was because of my citizenship (I was a German permanent resident at the time) but I’ll never really know as they didn’t give a reason, just 60 days notice.

Banks will deal with you, but not all banks, and some banking products (like brokerage accounts) are off limits.

This is a fallacious logic.

Not if there is an established standard and practice of writing code in an open source way.

That just means for LWR applications you need to switch the storage media. Any thermal plant could implement heat storage if they identify a medium with a large latent heat of fusion that is around where you want to preheat your working fluid to.

The salt used for energy storage is normally a eutectic mixture of ~60% sodium nitrate and ~40% potassium nitrate (not NaCl) and has a melting temperature of ~260 °C. The secondary on a PWR has a maximum temperature of 275 °C. So within the liquid range of typical thermal storage salts, though I suspect finer tuning of the salt composition would be used to reduce the melting temperature to closer to the feed water temperature of ~220 °C.

> Did you feel like previous Zelda games “handheld” you through progression?

yes, absolutely, but the franchise definitely did not start out like that.

The original Legend of Zelda plopped you on the map and gave you nothing. zero guidance. I consider this very good.

Skyward Sword (the mainline release immediately prior to Breath of the Wild) was extremely linear and even gave you the solutions to puzzles so you never felt stuck. I consider this very awful.

prior to Breath of the Wild, this linear hand-holding style of Zelda game was apparently loved by the creators within Nintendo and was definitely not loved by players who considered themselves Zelda fans.

I remember reading how Nintendo doubted that Breath of the Wild would be well received because it was so much like the original Legend of Zelda, once you left the great plateau. zero guidance (almost) and complete freedom to go anywhere, if you could survive.

after a couple of months of extreme praise, Nintendo promised to continue the "open world" style of Zelda game going forward. this will change, no question.

I felt choked when I played Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword. you were Link on a rail, and you did what you were told. horrible.

Any decent-sized town or city will have homeschooling groups that organize regular activities to address that issue. Often parents will also form small homeschooling groups or pods that provide socialization opportunities during "class".
