"Real-Time Health Monitoring
The most significant innovation is the proprietary real-time hull health monitoring (RTM) system. Titan is the only manned submersible to employ an integrated real-time health monitoring system. Utilizing co-located acoustic sensors and strain gauges throughout the pressure boundary, the RTM system makes it possible to analyze the effects of changing pressure on the vessel as the submersible dives deeper, and accurately assess the integrity of the structure. This onboard health analysis monitoring system provides early warning detection for the pilot with enough time to arrest the descent and safely return to surface."

I am surprised that real time monitoring of the hull is even a consideration, I would have expected it to be designed an built with massive safety margins and then inspected very thoroughly after each trip. The above paragraph seems to indicate that they would monitor hull health during the trip and stop descent if it showed signs of stress. But I am skeptical that they would see signs of stress before it simply imploded at depth.
Napkin math: Speed of light is 300,000 kilometers/second. At 60 hz, the wavelength would be 5,000 km. 1% of that would be 50 km.

Imagine a triangle with 2 generators 100km apart, and a factory almost due south of one generator:

ga ......... gb

__f

I think the offset would be something like sin(gb.f) - sin(ga.f)

A few reasons:

1. I appreciate open and friendly discussion with people who don't think like me. The atmosphere, even of /r/conservative is very different than something like truth social. I don't want to be in an echo chamber, and the content from the echo chamber seems tailored to click-bate. i.e. "Watch X DESTROY Y with Logic", or conspiracy theories. I read a variety of news, and I don't need another source for it, but would rather watch discussion unfold about different topics by people who may have different opinions as well.

2. I use Reddit primarily for tech, gaming, programming, gamedev, and programming language related topics or other unrelated things like woodworking or bushcrafting. I like the community-based paradigm to social media for that reason, and that content is almost entirely lacking on conservative social networks.

3. I'm not really a Trump supporter. Truth social I believe is also relatively dead, but I've never joined so I can't verify that.

4. Free speech is extremely important to me. Trolling, hating,etc, should be moderated, but a dissenting opinion written respectively should not be, in my opinion. I'm not sure that Truth Social has reputation as a free speech platform. Reddit as a platform has largely been a free speech platform. Independently moderated subreddits have not. But Lemmy instances seem like they're going to take a stance against any communities or instances that don't fit the ideology.

There is value in open debate and conversation, but it does seem like Lemmy is intended to be a walled left echo chamber. I'm curious if your question is reflective of others' opinions as well, in that they'd prefer people not like them ideologically would just go to their own spaces and leave others alone

Why is this? Why can we only fix wrongful flags ourselves when they totally kill a post, rather than when they only bury it?
Yes, it’s the most pragmatic and it’s only “awful” because it makes the actual problem visible. And would likely encourage slowly refactoring code to handle its state in a more sane way, until you’re only left with the really gnarly stuff, which shouldn’t be too much anymore and you can put them in individual thread local storages.

It’s an easy transition path.

Am I the only person who finds the idea of journaling into third party cloud to be an incredibly privacy-invading concept?

I always think of a journal as something containing notes that are raw enough that I would be embarrassed if any other person read them. The idea of sending that over a network to be stored in plain text on someone else's server is just horrifying to me.

I'd rather open JuiceSSH and log into my machine and open vim. Or I could use Synology Drive to edit a plain text document stored on my NAS. Is that really -that much- less convenient than opening a Google Doc? How inconvenient does the task need to be for me to allow random Googlers or their algorithms to read my innermost thoughts?

I'm working on this right now, actually. This is how I've gotten the idea to take the year off. It's less so that I'd like to "do something more useful" than college, and more that I'd like to continue to learn & work towards my goals in a different setting.
In my mind, both the year off and the year at school can offer equal levels of growth to me, but I'd like to take this time to go out and do something for a bit.
I'm moreso asking for advice on how to go about this, rather than if it is/isn't a good idea.
Ultimately, I'm fine with the risk. I know myself, and I know I'll be returning to school.
I really love this. One nit I must pick, however, is with the "just-so" nature of the journal screenshots. I see something similar in pinterest-style "bullet journal"/habit tracking colourful journal layouts (example[0]). Specifically, these look nice (or work) only if your to-do list is just so, usually fairly short and with really short items on it. So the "demo" versions of these have mocked up content which fits vs. real content, which is frequently less uniform.

In this article, you'll see the demo content is a lot of "buy apples" and "make apple pie," but note that no to-do items exceed 18 characters which is the maximum length to fit nicely in that layout. So if you need to "buy turkey baster" (18c) you're OK, but if you need to "return turkey baster" (21c) you've overflowed the layout. Likewise, you can "call Alexander" (15c) but "send thank you card to alexander and elizabeth" (46c) is way over budget, and you'll need to mutilate it down to "ty card alex&beth" (18c) to fit. This leads, in the example, to shortening items to something like "shopping trip," at which point too much context is lost (what if you have a second shopping trip?).

Likewise, if you want to dump all the todos you can think of for the week and it's 20 or 30 small items, it's not clear that would work well in these layouts.

This is not to malign this system which I think is really cool, but to suggest that it's more useful to see real and more varied content in a system like this to see how it "really looks" rather than exclusively made-to-measure content of 1-6 super-short items per list.

The article presents kids as an option after 50 for men, not women, and that’s reasonable. It’s a popular thing to do to draw similarities between decreases in fertility between men and women, but it’s not helpful. There’s a plethora of risks that increase for men, but they all go from “negligable” to “slightly less negligable”.
Yes, absolutely this for the content-side.

Especially in the tech world, it would make sense for r/php to be hosted and run by the offical php.net guys, r/laravel by the laravel.com crew, r/vuejs by ... (you get it).

However it'd be hard for the subreddit hosters to manage which user-facing instances are allowed to post. If shitposters could just fire up new personal instances every time they were banned, then subreddit hosters would just be playing whack-a-mole and get fed up with it.

They'd almost have to require that users post from instances with good reputations - and now we've just reinvented e-mail's problem of forcing users into using one of the big providers in order to be able to send/post anything.

Too bad we can't have nice things
I thought the same at first, but forcing one additional scope level / layer of indentation for each disposable resource ends up looking a lot like "callback hell", with deeply nested code. I've seen that in Python many times. I like the thoughtfulness of Typescript, not going for the naive solution but trying to see how it will scale.
It can be useful take a step back and think about where best practices come from. What problems do they solve?

Singletons are bad in complicated, long-running processes, because you're in trouble if you want to have more than one of something, and cleanup can be a problem. A one-to-one relationship with the running process is problematic.

But JavaScript often runs in a disposable runtime environment that forces cleanup when terminated. For example, a web page or a web worker. Memory leaks usually aren't a problem and you can just treat it like arena allocation.

If you want more than one web page, it's very easy to do.

Similarly, if you're writing scripts using disposable Unix processes then a memory leak in a command isn't all that big a deal; you can sometimes get away with never freeing anything because the OS will do it.
Sorry, I forget that "play" is not very hn. It's very serious work, and one should take themselves very seriously.

Interesting take, this is similar to my goals.
This is another huge problem with RMS: the nitpicky obsession with language. Although, in fairness, this seems to be an issue with a lot of technically-minded people. Words are not like code; a word can be imperfect but work well enough in context. Code isn't like this, of course. Even if it's obvious from context that you're writing a conditional, using "=" instead of "==" won't work. But language isn't like that; "close enough" can be just fine, and over time, meanings can evolve.

"Open-source" is a term that a lot of people know and use. It's fine. It's not perfect, and its meaning does not perfectly encompass everything that FSF stands for. Who cares. It's good enough. These arcane, pedantic debates about "libre" (not an English word) versus "FOSS" (an acronym that must be learned) versus "free" (a word with a confusing valence of connotative meanings) are off-putting and distracting.

A lot of activists get distracted by this kind of nerd-bait. Somehow, smart people get convinced that if only we can get people using the right words "I call them used not users" then we'll win the argument via some linguistic cheat code or something. It just doesn't work like that. Here's a good discussion of how climate activists can't get out of their own way on natural gas terminology and some evidence for why the entire debate is pointless: https://strongmessagehere.substack.com/p/words-arent-magic

> The actual moral of the story maybe is that we should let third partys submit applications?

The application isn't a single page form, it's hundreds to thousands of pages detailing everything about the clinical trials ranging from the success criteria for each phase, the doctors and hospitals involved in the trials, and even tiny details like how much blood is going to be drawn, when it will be drawn, and how it's going to be tested.

They're impossible to write without the participation of almost everyone involved in the process since a significant part of premarketing approval is quality control of the final drug manufacturing process.

Well part of that effort is that I'm working on a standard protocol for communication. But I don't think the protocol alone is the answer. It's definitely part of the solution but you need to actually build the rest of the solution too.

I just started gaming again after 10 years not doing it. I got a Switch, though I usually would have gamed on a PC. It has really narrowed in my reason to game: The story.

Usually, I would not have bought into franchises, but I am giving in. The fact that Zelda already has so much culture, makes it a hit for me.
What's your point? Everything that randomly generates numbers of appropriate length could hit a real one eventually. It's not a "leak," especially because it's not even for an iPhone, as requested.

This isn't news.
Global mutable state being a poor choice in software architecture isn’t an ideology. There is no ideology that argues it is awesome.

If you want to have a software _engineering_ discussion about the trade offs involved in sharing global mutable state, this is a good venue for that.

All engineering is trade offs. As soon as you start telling people they’re making blanket statements that X is always bad, you’ve transitioned into the realm of nitpicking.
You just don't have a big enough hammer...
It doesn't work so well with controversial subjects, even here. Instead, only the more popular ideas, often the same, get pushed to the top. In retrospect, I view this more negatively than not.

Twitter actively harmed hundreds of millions (billions?) of people via coordinated mass censorship and manipulation. A lot of these people should be in jail, so getting off with "having to find a new job" is pretty freakin generous.

Look at the replies here, most people don't even deny that the crime occurred. They just think it was "worth it" to filter things like racism.
Sounds a lot like Mythical Man Month territory as well. More patients means more techs and more doctors to offer advice/test for side effects, and you can’t just wave a wand and get those. You have to invest in people to roll out a product.

I rarely write Javascript, so I'm not in tune with the community, but when I have I have had no trouble passing database handles and such things around like I'm used to in every other language I work with more frequently.

It appears all this does is avoids needing to manually call close (or equivalent)? While that is a nice addition, helping to avoid the situation where you forget, why does globals become the alternative? Isn't simply calling close manually the best option at the moment?
True, OP said either though. Reckon they're a small team so I'll allow it, lol.
Nice article! Updates, especially from CDC, are still a challenging area for ClickHouse. We've ReplacingMergeTree many times for this.

Easily doable on non-Apple displays.

(a) Buy a high brightness monitor. There are some industrial ones that go up to 1000, 2500, or even 5000 nits. A Dell U2723QE, for comparison, is 400 nits.

(b) Scaling back ALL RGB pixel values linearly from [0,255] to [0,127]. Actually, just bit shift them.

(c) Set monitor brightness to 100%, which cancels the effect of (b) under most circumstances.

(c) When you want a dose of "Apple HDR" white you just issue a [255,255,255] and you get a blast of 1000 nits in your face.

In fact I think a lot of newer monitors offer 10 bits per pixel of depth, and considering most images on the web are still 8 bits per channel, you can do all of the above without even losing color resolution from 8 to 7 bits, and instead go from 10 to 9 bits, though I don't know how to implement that in practice (might have to be done on the graphics driver level rather than scaling down pixel values in the OS?)
ShareAlike is also effective.

Most people would opt to not apply patches to their dependencies in my experience. Seems kinda sketchy if that's something you have to do on a regular basis. I'd chalk that up as a possibly serious business concern depending on the magnitude of the fixes, the importance of the dependency, and the frequency.

These kind of feel like two different axes to me. There's "enough", and then there's "more".

The step up in happiness and utility from owning no car, to any car that just about works well, is enormous.

The difference between a clapped out Honda Civic and a brand new Tesla is pretty marginal.

It's the same with most things. Owning a home in Kensington is nicer than, say, Willesden, but there are enormously diminishing returns.

The most important thing in life, to me at least, is safety and stability. In family, in partner, in friendship, in housing and possessions.

Advertising focuses on trying to extract value. There's not that much value to extract when I buy a 20 year old car.
