Injection molding semi-liquid magnesium seems…quite difficult to say the least!

Tangentially, I wish there was some online resources for learning how best design for manufacture for things like laptops and cases.

Contract CNC fabrication is really inexpensive these days until you need 10 iterations to fix your dumb mistakes.
I hate how everything journalists do has to be framed so negatively. "Forcing"? "Keeping the audience engaged" (from the replies)? They were just reporting how much air is left, in the case that they were alive - not insisting that they definitely are alive. It's an obvious thing to want to know, and an obvious thing to report. I'm sure some outlets ham it up, yeah of course. But anybody would report that information.
I'd love to try to prototype a GUI that harmonizes GUIs with keyboard accessibility; bring back some external component model to script them again, put some sort of effort into making that scriptability discoverable for users and easier to maintain for developers than Applescript was, make it easy to give and surface expert-level shortcuts, make it so keystrokes are buffered across contexts so you can develop expert-level skills in pre-keying what you want the UI to do even before it pops up (one of the reasons why you had to pry the console-based point-of-sale software out of customer's services hands at gunpoint), and just generally make something useful for experts again... but it's years of effort to even prototype such a thing to the point where it's useful for anything. GUIs are stuck in the 20th century because they're just so big.

Noone is switching from RHEL to Ubuntu or Debian. If you're on RHEL it's because you need their ridiculous long support cycle which noone else comes close for.

It's used by people building medical hardware and telescopes, not for website deployments.
The camera footage is probably better than whatever you could see through a few inches of porthole
There is an iOS app I found today called DiscourseHub that allows you to connect multiple discourse sites into a unified homepage, and switch between them. I've used it for about an hour and it seems pretty solid, fwiw

This is a pretty good opportunity for Canonical to pick up the slack. Aside from the snap related self-sabotage, Canonical was on a pretty good trajectory.
It is notable how much news-coverage this received (for understandable reasons [1]) relative to the almost simultaneous disaster in the Mediterranean [2], where a shipwreck killed hundreds of people.

[1] What springs to mind: Dramatic search action well suited for live blog coverage; psychological impact of the idea of people stranded in a submarine for days; And of course the average person here is probably a lot closer to taking a holiday trip in a submersible than to taking a refugee boat across the Mediterranean.

I worked for a company that did the voting for American Idol for the first few seasons. Weird culture, a mix of bare metal and NIH that I thought didn’t quite function and some of us were trying to change that culture. Everyone resented working on that project and wanted to do other things, so at some point we disinvited ourselves (or so the story went, might have been sour grapes).

The problem was we killed the cash cow without any viable livestock lined up to replace it, and the layoffs started about a year later. Of course 4/5ths of the people trying to change the culture were in the first round. Get rid of the rabble rousers first.

While I think our proposed changes would have helped dramatically, I also think it might have been better if the company management had invested in making it more palatable to work on the project. Bribery if you have to. Conferences, toys… but they didn’t do either, and it flopped.

Edit: on rereading your comments I may have missed your angle, but I’ll leave this anyway, since we are talking dumb failure modes.
Probably because there have been rescues of explorers nearly running out of air while trapped in a submersible.

When you wrap a rectangle around a sphere, all points at the top edge are identified – thecedge is compressed into a single point, the "north pole", and similarly with the bottom edge. When you go off the top/bottom edge of Mercator at longitude N, you emerge at another point at the same edge, namely at longitude N+180 (mod 360).

(Also, in Mercator it looks like you can approach the top or bottom edge diagonally, but this is an illusion, an artifact caused by the projection. You can only ever approach the north pole directly from the south, and once you cross it, you find yourself having "rotated" exactly 180° and are now facing south, in addition to having jumped to the opposite longitude. And vice versa for the south pole.)
The CA is part of the solution by using ARI to inform ACME clients to replace impacted certificates.
I haven't worked with Svelte (but with Vue, so def biased) but my feeling is that where Vue really shines (and always have, compared to other frameworks) is it's data reactivity system, making data (including but not limited to) stores very nice to author.

The composability of Vue 3 data stores makes it imo really nice to work with for anything a little bit more complex, and I've yet to see anything as good.

A tiny fraction of a second while your skull implodes but you’d be unconscious even before that due to the pressure
What I don’t get is what factors could have caused it to implode now when it didn’t previously?
That I can’t run sudo yum update out of the box with RHEL is one of the big reasons I don’t bother with it. I love the “stability aspect” of RHEL but I love the I guess “convenience” of any other distro being ready to go out of the box, no activation required
The most puzzling aspect, from what I understand from the experts, if it imploded at time and depth you are suggesting it would have been very likely to be registered by at least the controlling ship due to the noise. As you highlighted the sub is pretty large, imploding in a millisecond causes huge effects in the surroundings.

So saying it got lost and imploded after a few days solves two problems. Explains why there was no implosion noise originally, and that the banging heard afterwards was the implosion. Also it has a history of losing contact in its previous tours.
Picked a good day to wear my Opeth hoodie...
How does it explain why the support boat heard no implosion while listening for the 15 min pings?

Wouldn't an implosion be really loud?
> No, the idea that a certain layer of Romanian words comes from Dacian is superseded.

As a Romanian that idea is new to me, and I've just gone through half of this book [1] written by two quite decent Romanian historians about the Balkans during the Slav migrations (one of those authors, Florin Curta, is quite well knonwn)

> The Romanian and Albanian languages both spread to their present areas from the Central Balkans,

Again, as a Romanian this is highly, highly debatable and controversial. I personally think that there was some migration, but saying, point blank, that Romanian spread from "areas from the Central Balkans", which means South of the Danube, is most definitely not an established historical fact.

It's as close to "instantly killed" as anything can be, literally dead before your nerves can communicate a distress signal to the brain.
Then again, the rover would have found the sub from the location even if it were intact, and there could have been a small chance of survival since they had the equipment. Hope is more important than agony.

My experience with WASM so far, is that I can import WASM modules without caring at all about FFI. They're produced, and I can use them, as is, whatever their exposed interface is.

I'm not even sure Truffle/Graal is doing that across language boundaries (yet).

Of course, in practice, this is basically C, C++ and Rust being used in the web browser or with V8 / Deno, because its the biggest WASM runtime there is right now, but thats changing too, as language communities are starting to seriously consider first party support for WASM.

To address the point of mapping types / data from one language to another: thats the whole point of WASM, is that those languages need to only bind their output to the WASM guidelines. Its all there is to it. Valid WASM will run in any valid WASM runtime
> i worked in many different companies, and all of them used centos in order to have "proper enterprise linux" but for free. The only cases when real redhat was used is for something that actually required it by licensing/support terms - like Oracle, or alternatively contractual obligations for SLA.

I worked on a product that allowed both RHEL and CentOS, and then moved to a different one that mandated RHEL with a supported contract. The latter was far less stressful to deal with, because any time there was an OS issue, we could pretty easily tell them, "Go to Red Hat." The shops that were on CentOS on the other product tended to be small businesses (and cheapskates), and every time an OS issue arose, it was a screaming match trying to convince them that we're not going to fix their OS for them.
That would help, but I think that only works optimally if they also do number 1. If there is any "activation" process or the like, it adds enough friction to cause problems, especially in a modern CI/CD environment. It's not an easy change by any stretch, but if they don't do something they're going to be the next Oracle.
Look at the GitHub commits in the 6 months before 3.3
I meant their license free Alma/Rocky Servers.
>I’m not an apple person but I do think the eye tracking to focus / pinch the air to activate combo is very natural and significantly different to what meta, HTC etc are doing. I think this might be the turning point for AR/VR.

From getting started in 2015 with the DK2, I've held from the very beginning that controllers are a dead end for VR. I've given countless demos where people are just completely confused because it's so unnatural and awkward, and it adds to the overall cognitive load to the point of destroying presence. Sure competent gamers can figure it out in a few minutes, but that's not the point. You don't interact with the world using triggers and buttons. You interact with the word by interacting with it. The controllers need to go away.
I don't see so much disagreement. You still "bought freedom" by reducing your expenses past the point where you're precarious financially.

> It does not matter how much I make, it does not affect my lifestyle much.

One fifth your current level? One tenth? One hundredth?

Or, if living mostly off of savings... well, that's even more explicitly having used money to "buy freedom".
> In just basic Vim, there's highlighting such that if the cursor is over a start bracket (or end bracket), the opposite bracket is highlighted.

VS Code does that too and I think that's plenty to find matching brackets.

Never understood colored brackets either, it looks like a noisy rainbow to me. But I think it might depend on the language+theme combination you're using.
I always come back to Bryan Cantrill telling me not to stick my arm into a lawnmower.
Svelte 5 is speculated to release as early as this year (2023)! Svelte 4 was mainly a maintenance release; updated dependencies, TS to JSDoc migration and more, in preparation for the development of Svelte 5. The reason Svelte 4 is a major version release is due to upgrading some dependencies like the Nodejs version making it a breaking change.
Looks like that person build their company on nepotism - and it hurts them.
Thus the projection that others are "losers".
It hates it when you do that.
It does makes sense. glibc depends heavily on dynamic linking partly because it's pluggable. For instance DNS resolution supports plugins. Ditto for many other useful bits of software. If you think of a container as a frozen combination of apps and plugins, then the value becomes clearer: the software in the container can be recombined in many ways without recompilation or re(static)linking, the container itself is static.
I suppose to detect a noise is one thing, to know what it is is another. The ocean must be full of underwater volcano eruptions, tectonic activity, oil rigs banging and drilling, etc. One of the rescue boats was a commercial cable-laying vessel, presumably laying cables and making noise.
In that scenario, as long as they could keep CO2 levels down, running out of oxygen isn't so bad (ignoring the other troubles). The human body can't detect a lack of oxygen, you just get tired and light headed and pass out.
WASM is a compiler target for countless languages, unlike JVM which is tied to Java. That’s what makes it incomparable to JVM… It’s a global runtime-on-demand for whatever you throw at it.

you'll be happy to know that those are no longer the default in Svelte 4!

Just how instant is that death? Do you die from quickly drowning in the water or is the water pressure enough to also crush your skull quick enough to make sure you die without having the chance to feel anything?

my "orders of magnitude" alarm is going off here. There's no way that the implosion of a fairly small sub is going to be heard in Boston even if underwater. Something doesn't make sense here.

Sometimes it's because you're operating a platform for a government entity and they have requirements like 'all OSes are under support contracts'.

It's harder to get reputable support for debian in the south Pacific. RH is damned near the only decent option.
> except to memorize them and gradually extend understanding backwards

That is not the only reason, but also a big part of it, yes. Some of the things (but not all) that I memorize I admittedly don't fully understand. I try to avoid that, but it happens. Usually though, the sudden realization comes at a later point, when I understood more of something else.

Literally happened last week to me. I had been memorizing a "stupid" theorem for a while[1], not realizing why it's useful, until something I read was about discontinuities in the n-th derivation of a function, and what that means for the terms of the function's Taylor series, and it all lit up in me, tying it all together.

It's a good feeling!

You're right, I think, but we also know that several ships heard sounds after the communication loss. You'd also need to account for that with your theory.
> It's the government's job to regulate...

Arguable...but which government? They were operating in international waters, and it's not like the UN runs an Ocean Engineering Safety Police Dept.
this "scoffing at safety and regulation" shit being seen as "hip, cool and rebellious" and somehow a desirable trait is actually completely fucking bonkers to me.

Careful analysis and engineering to make things as safe as possible and well characterized is incredibly rewarding and satisfying.
> Is it even legally possible to have a linux distribution that isn't open source? I'm not sure?

For the GPL parts? No. But that doesn't mean "you must make it the source code publicly available at https://example.com/source-code.tar.gz".

GPL 2 and 3 differ a little bit in the exact terms for this, but both are essentially the same: you only need to ship source code to the people you distribute the software to, not to the general public at large.
Yes, very fair point. Oracle and Amazon both deserve to be on the list, probably much further up than Alma or Rocky

Then you have people like me who have to go throw the 5 stages of grief to overcome procrastination.

1. Denial of the importance or urgency of the task, and denial of my future self also lacking desire and willpower to complete said task in the future.

2. Anger that I cannot magically will myself into not procrastinating, or anger that I even have to do the task in the first place.

3. Bargaining how far back I can push a task back a.k.a. "I'll have plenty of time to do it tomorrow."

4. Depression because I always mismanage my time, overestimate my future abilities, and seem to never learn from the past -- "why do I always do this to myself?"

5. Acceptance that I am at the end of my rope, and I have to do the task now or I will face some kind of consequences far worse than actually doing the task itself.
> a debate about a scientific issue implies there is scientific disagreement about that issue

And a single talking head in the media telling us the science implies there is complete consensus about that issue.

These both seem problematic, but Karen "no both sides" Landman seems to only see her own side.
I think 2 is more about how a single wasm interpreter can host multiple "serverless applications" and execute them without the process (/language runtime) spawning overhead.

> 95% of the advantage that docker has over a tarball is due to gcc's (and glibc's) strong bias towards dynamic linking and how hard it is to portably package a python application's dependencies.

I agree that this is the hardest part, and you’ve pointed out the reason why developer tools seem to be over represented in startups. For this reason, I mentioned to check job listings and see what responsibilities they are looking to hire someone to take on.

Just a personal thought (and please tell I’m wrong if this is not the case), I think Eastern Europe as market is ripe for good tech innovation. To my knowledge, it’s not “behind” but products and services seem to reach there after being recycled from Western and Central European companies, with translations into local languages being spotty at best and nonexistent at worst. Someone who lives in a culturally-isolated place might have the upper hand at solving specific problems and being a native speaker of the local language would you give you the upper hand and no competition should you elect to write software to help that doesn’t exist where you are. This could be especially true if you can find software that they wish they could use but is not translated into an language that makes it useful for them.
Related to this, if you're Romanian or happen to know Romanian I heartily recommend this recently published book [1] about the Balkans and South-Eastern Europe during the migrations of the Slavs. Sorin Paliga can have some controversial takes but otherwise I find him quite ok, all things considered, while Florin Curta is of course pretty well known when it comes to his studies on the migrations of the Slavs.

Federated identity is pretty important for a seamless experience in the case where chat itself js not federated though. Otherwise you're still going to need to make a new account for every server you join, which is more friction than people want.
I totally agree and everyone should be able to work in their preferred way. I'm very wary of any efforts to entice more people back into offices, though, as it's absolutely not being driven by a desire to offer more flexibility.

I'll be dragged kicking and screaming back into an office, and would only ever consider an in-person role as a stopgap measure while I job hunt.
