This webpage provides a brief description of two types of telescopes: dobsonian and cassegrain. Dobsonian telescopes are simple, low-cost and easy to use. They have a large aperture and a short focal length, which makes them ideal for observing deep-sky objects. Cassegrain telescopes are compact, versatile and sophisticated. They have a long focal length and a small aperture, which makes them suitable for observing planets and other bright objects. The webpage compares and contrasts the features, advantages and disadvantages of these two telescope

Title: Aviato: The Rise of the Disruptive Startup

Aviato is a prequel to the HBO hit TV show, Silicon Valley. The story follows the journey of a young entrepreneur, named Nelson "Nate" Chatwin, who wants to make a name for himself in the world of tech. He dreams of building a company that will disrupt the airline industry and make air travel more accessible to everyone.

The story is set in the late 1990s, when the internet was still in its early stages and startups were popping up all over Silicon Valley. Nate is working as a software engineer at a startup, but he is restless and wants to do something more. One day, while sitting in a coffee shop, he overhears a conversation between two pilots about the challenges of booking flights. That's when he has a Eureka moment and comes up with the idea for Aviato - an online platform that connects travelers with affordable flights.

Nate starts working on Aviato in his spare time, but he soon realizes that he needs more help to bring his vision to life. He recruits a group of talented engineers and business-minded individuals to join his team. Together, they work tirelessly to build the Aviato platform from scratch. They encounter numerous challenges along the way, from funding issues to technical glitches, but they never lose sight of their goal.

As Aviato gains popularity and investors start pouring in, the team faces new challenges. Nate struggles to balance his work and personal life, as his marriage falls apart due to his obsession with the company. The team also faces pressure from rival startups and industry giants, who are threatened by Aviato's disruptive business model.

Throughout the series, we see the rise of Aviato and how it becomes one of the most successful startups in Silicon Valley. We also see the personal and professional sacrifices that Nate and his team make along the way. The series ends with Aviato's launch and its early success, setting the stage for the events that unfold in the original Silicon Valley series.

Overall, Aviato is a compelling story about the power of innovation, the challenges of entrepreneurship, and the human cost of building a successful startup. It's a must-watch for fans of Silicon Valley and anyone interested in the tech industry.

Dessalines was L'Ouverture's principle lieutenant and general. It wasn't until after the Battle of Crete-a-Pierrot, where Dessalines forces kicked the french out of fort Crete-a-Pierrot, then massacred the french civilians, and then themselves were forced out of the fort due to heavy losses on Leclerc's counterattack, that Dessalines switched alliegences. Dessalines than switched sides which led to the surrender of L'Ouverture. The massacre of french civilians there still happened under L'Ouverture.

He didn't have a different ideology, he was literally L'Ouverture's primary supporter and ally, until defeated militarily.
> Clearly, Esperanto is a prescribed language. So prescribed languages do exist and political forces can shape languages, you just don't think that happens with English.

You're misreading me: I'm saying that English didn't come into existence by fiat, and that it doesn't evolve through fiat most of the time. English, being a natural language as opposed to a constructed one, evolves naturally.

> Well I do. People reference so-called "descriptive" dictionaries and grammars, yet don't those texts themselves inherently acquire a prescriptive force, insofar as they originate at elite institutions like Oxford and Cambridge and UChicago?

That doesn't change the fact they're descriptive. It also doesn't change the fact linguistics is descriptive.

> I think descriptivism is an incredibly naive position to take when talking about modern languages that have agglomerated for explicit social, political, and economic projects, and I think that was Orwell's point.

Well, you can get a degree in linguistics and learn what "descriptivism" actually means, then, because you certainly don't know it now.

It makes me worried how people look at this and say it's "the unvarnished truth" because it confirms their biases, even if there is next to no actual evidence that current monopolists are more powerful than historic ones, or that people are actually worse off.

It also bothers me how this kind of article seems to always be written by people who have no idea about what is the kind of work and challenges that go into building products that can actually get adopted by people.
Although I have not read DEC's (Digital Equipment Corporation) documentation, but I've come across a 1990 book that mentions DEC's approach to documentation:

> Digital Equipment Corporation noted in their 1983 internal documentation guidelines that user documentation should be written first — not last as is traditionally done — because the user documentation is an excellent way to debug the design of a system or a program. “If a writer finds it difficult to document a system, the problem is probably the system not the writer. Holes in design, obscure constructions, and apparent contradictions become starkly visible in the documentation.”

(From book: Writing better computer user documentation, 1990)

I do not agree. I do not have time to familiarize myself with every language in existence to such a level that their strengths become obvious to me. It is perfectly reasonable for a expert in a language to write an article on why to use it.
I feel like this is a general bias of people who look at reality through a Marxist framing - for their theory of reality to make sense, they need to undervalue any kind of work that does not take the form of "producing material objects".

They're taking something that works, and screwing EVERYONE late to signup. The fact that I've had the same contact information for years, and it's about to be taken away, is infuriating beyond belief. I have 492 friends on Discord right now. I'm not going to know who ANYONE is as this changes. There's no 'note' of an old name, or transitional period. It's on ME to make a note for everyone and then individually go through my list to find who I want to message. There's not even a vague consideration for transition AT ALL here. This is a hasty bad decision made by old men, not by engineers, or even people that actually use the platform on a daily basis.

How would you feel if you paid for Gmail for years, then suddenly they say you're going to be forced to change your email address. Or your phone number, the phone number that you've had for years. The way that everyone reaches you. Now you have to pick a new number at a random time based on when you signed up for the service. MAYBE you'll get lucky with a similar number, and you can get it to ALL the people that need to be able to contact you, but don't forget, they're forced to change their identity too! You get no choice in the matter. To hell with your social links, business cards, code with contact info, videos with contact info, and anyone who knows you by your username. Now I have to play the world's worst lottery to hopefully get a similar name, before someone else takes it. I'm beyond upset. I'm enraged and fully disgusted. This is the worst decision that's come from them since I started using the service in early 2016.

>> The "of course, pay was lower" isn't what the 4DWW movement is fighting for though: it's about having 1 fewer day of work with no increase in hours and no loss of pay.

Then I vote for the 2 days movement. Joke aside, I wasn't aware that you were promoting a political movement. Sure, just working less and getting the same money prevents work related burnout. But that is not really big news and simply not feasible in this highly competitive world.

Very fair. All Google requires is this: a simple offering of earth and water. A token of submission to its will.

the c++ standard does not allow for disabling exceptions, so at best this would be implementation-dependent behaviour, at worst UB.

in other words, using -fno-execptions, and similar on other compilers, raises compatibility problems.

I'm guessing a very small subset of trainers make that much. An awful lot of AI training is done via Mechanical Turk like systems that pay pennies per task. They may work out to more than $15/hour on a per task basis but rarely can anyone get a continuous flow of hundreds of tasks per hour, so grossing even $10/hour would be considered pretty exceptional.

Edit to add reference [1]:
"An analysis of the platform published in 2018 revealed that of the 3.8 million tasks analyzed, which were performed by 2676 workers, such workers earned a median hourly wage of about $2 an hour, while only 4 percent of workers earned more than $7.25 an hour"

Why is this surprising?

For comparison, your fish is 'powered by contractors' making $0.1 an hour in Africa or the Caribbean.

Then people import and refine the product and sell it to you for $30 in the restaurant as a value-add. That's how the economy works.
There are already people in the comments complaining that $15/hr is "plenty" (people who, I'll hazard to wager, make at least twice that). I made $15/hr working at Best Buy, and that was a job where I was paid to move around the store, interact (mostly positively) with customers and coworkers, perform a variety of relatively engaging tasks, and got benefits/paid breaks/etc. It was not enough to live on; I dipped into savings every month.

$15 to sit on a computer, labeling photos, in 2023, sounds much less an agreeable situation. And I should know: I also did a temp data entry contract, sitting in a room by myself for 8 hours, doing the same thing over and over, for ~$12/hr (essentially the same pay wrt inflation). Likewise, I was not making ends meet and dipping into savings for the 2 months I was doing that job.

I'd really like people who are comparatively better-off to stop telling us what's "enough". $15/hr was a good wage to shoot for when the "raise the wage" movement started more than a decade (!) ago. It's been almost 15 years of near-zero interest rates and the attendant inflation, exacerbated by several crises that required money-printing to keep the economy out of a recession. Maybe some assets could stand to be devalued to allow workers to receive what is actually a living wage today (which would be north of $20/hr).
Is your server sending the signature by an expired CA certificate (DSA)? If not, there is no problem (article author explained the fix).

I followed his fix and only after removing DSA from my certs Private DNS started working.
Also not OP, but I recently got diagnosed with (another) autoimmune disorder solely because a single doctor twisted my arm into getting some unpleasant tests done. Turns out I have Crohn's disease and not just an unusually capricious stomach. (Also, thankfully, turns out Crohn's symptoms get significantly better with treatment.)

But if I hadn't been willing to power through the time and money and discomfort of getting tested, I probably would've remained undiagnosed for years. I'm thankful we caught it now and not before things got bad enough to land me in the hospital.
Making a cool algorithm and wrapping a teensy UI around it is fun.

Making a welcoming and successful product is hair-tearingly annoying and tedious.
There are a lot of financial incentives pushing engineers to seek novelty, even if they might not necessarily want to. Promotions and raises are heavily tied to projects introducing or inventing shiny new tech. Heck, even VC funding for starting a business is tied to this. One might also view this as the human condition: a bias to solve problems by adding rather than subtracting.

The "AI revolution?" When did that actually start?

Why did the title need to be editorialized in this way? The actual article is much more reasonable in it's title "OpenAI Contractors make $15/hr to train ChatGPT."

The constant embarrassed need to make this iteration of a computer model into not only "AI" but "revolutionary" is absurd and taxing.

I have osgood schlatter syndrome, basically a bone growth on the knee. Had it for decades but not diagnosed until 30s during physical for new job. Zero impacts. No pain. No limitations. No issues whatsoever. But I do have a named syndrome that, in years past, would never have been noticed.
> There is no part of the official process where anyone is required to listen to or respect the opinion of a protest. That's kind of obvious.

Actually, I think there is one - government media. CBC/BBC/etc should cover these instead of covering them up. If they represented the citizens voices honestly, they might not feel they have to blockade parliament to get their point across.

> Democratic politics means there's official channels for exercising this by voting instead of having to do this.

That breaks down a bit when your media only presents one side of certain issues.

There's no requirement for corporate media to be honest, but for state media paid for by the citizens that's basically its only purpose.

> If you want a rep to know your opinion on something you can call them.

You can contact them, but if you can't do it in public others won't know and they can basically kill issues by just ignoring them.
I tried a few of Amazon's Echo devices. I didn't spend much on them except for the big speaker. It used to be ok, but now it asks me to sign up for Unlimited music every single voice prompt. This exactly ended my desire to get anything else made by Amazon.

I used to have an Ecobee thermostat. A good idea, but it wouldn't work at all without a connection to their server. Their server uptime was a complete joke which made my thermostat useless.

I also had a few smart plugs for lamps.

I spent way too much time fiddling with all this garbage, so I trashed it all.

All these "smart" devices are anything but.
genuinely amazing, is there a writeup on this?
It is fine and works well. I mostly got the smart speakers because i wanted multi room audio for my spotify, and alexa is the cheapest decent quality multi room audio I could get.

Also, my morning routine since I have them has simplified: Go to the bathroom in the morning, my presence detection will start my morning playlist as I enter. (Turning off not included in example, either switch playlist via spotify app at some point or tell alexa/spotify to turn off for a meeting or because I leave.)
In other breaking news, water is wet.
At ~$30,000 annualized, it's higher than the median income in the EU, Germany or France.
> Why the hell hire super smart people when you have to tell them how to do things?

A very hard question. One side is that every smart engineer will do what's best for their use case.

The other is now you might have 100 smart engineers with 100 smart different solutions which can cause repeated work, integration issues, missed common solutions, etc.

Both approaches have lots of pros cons and tradeoffs

If you have a monolithic entrypoint, is it really serverless? You're simply using the Lambda infra as a run-on-demand server, something Heroku has been offering for 10+ years. Why would you pay extra when you can deploy to a simple VM or managed platform costing 100x less?
I only want 1 port on my phone.

OK, just buy phones with one port. I think you're just experiencing FOMO because it's possible that you could end up with a port that's not The Best or having to buy a less aesthetic phone.
I don't necessarily want fanless, but the system being inaudible under moderate load and not a banshee at high load is important. With proper engineering this is possible without too much of a performance hit but a lot of laptop manufacturers either don't put in the time to tune their offerings for this or do what Apple used to and chase thin-at-all-costs even in workstation machines (e.g. Dell Precision laptops being downgraded to close relatives of the XPS line).

Between my personal iMac Pro which is easily the second best-cooled Intel Mac desktop made in the past decade (after the cheesegrater tower) and the employer-provided 16" M1 Pro MPB I use for work I've been spoiled. My tolerance for fan noise has become very low, to the point that I'm debating replacing the case on my Ryzen 5000 gaming tower with something with big slow 200mm fans (like the Fractal Torrent) so its noise level can match that of my iMac and MBP.
I have heard that embedded developers sometimes build their own libc to minimize the size of the binary file. I'm wondering which is a good example (readable source, good coding techniques) that I can learn from?
