ESA is a step removed from public funding when compared to NASA.

NASA is directly accountable to the US Congress, both in terms of the appointment of its director and its budget.

ESA is an IGO, and its Director-General is appointed by consensus amongst the member states, and its budget is set by them based on national contributions as well.

Not to mention that most also have their own space agencies (of varying capabilities). Even the EU has EUSPA, separate to, but collaborating with, ESA.

Natural gas is CH4 (methane).

Methane: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methane

/? methane emissions rules: https://www.google.com/search?q=methane+emissions+rules

From https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/biden-harris-administration... :

> Oil and natural gas operations are the nation’s largest industrial source of methane. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that traps about 80 times as much heat as carbon dioxide, on average, over the first 20 years after it reaches the atmosphere and is responsible for approximately one third of the warming from greenhouse gases occurring today. Sharp cuts in methane emissions are among the most critical actions the U.S. can take in the short term to slow the rate of climate change. Oil and natural gas operations are also significant sources of other health-harming air pollutants, including smog-forming volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and toxic air pollutants such as benzene.
This is probably cool but I didn't find a full showcase UI? I saw the playground but that seems to be for trying individual components.
Yeah I feel like this is very tractable problem. Most of my stuff runs on USB-C anyways, I just need USB power outlets everywhere. My lights, motor blinds, bathroom fans can run on POE, including data.

My oven should already have its own battery installed, or a capacitor bank for very fast preheat.

My fridge can do the same. It’s rarely actually compressing.

I’m mostly just trying to avoid needing to buy very expensive inverters.

I see no problems with this. We invade their domain and ruin it, we just gotta play by their rules now.
Damn that must have been a bit of a slide show :D
Whales and killer whales ramming boats is nothing new, only thing that really changed is that most boats are now strong enough to survive it so we get the report and the internet means everyone gets to hear about it. In the wooden boat days a whale or orca could effortlessly sink your boat and when you read the writings of the early small boat sailors (cruising and racing sorts) they are very nervous when whales are in sight because they all knew the damage they could do to their boat. The sailors were perfectly OK with admitting their fears of orca and whales and did not find them cute.
Hyperbolic plane has tree-like structure. If you tried to draw a binary tree of depth 10 on Euclidean paper, you would run out of space. In hyperbolic plane, the straight lines are diverging and new space is created exponentially (very roughly speaking), so such a tree would fit perfectly. This makes hyperbolic embeddings better than Euclidean ones for all kinds of hierarchical data. I would also like to mention that while the uses in machine learning get lots of hype, the ML researchers seem to not be aware of the earlier impressive results on hyperbolic embeddings obtained in other communities (social network analysis/algorithms).

If you want to get intuitions about how this tree-like structure works, it is the best to play HyperRogue. For formal math, I guess it is the best to read the relevant papers.

(I guess the hierarchical structure of transportation networks, from hub airports -> ordinary airports -> major roads -> minor roads, could be interpreted as hyperbolic geometry, in the same way as Internet has hyperbolic geometry. A very liberal and abstract interpretation though. I do not see how making sharper turns makes sense.)
Well, that is a fair point; conflating law and state was an ironic mistake for this anarchist to make.
Let's stick with the Cambridge dictionary:

How many oars is "several"? Do they count if they're not physically affixed to the boat?
I'm fascinated by the fact that my takeaway is the precise opposite of what the author intended.

To me, the answer to all of the questions was crystal-clear. Yes, you can academically wonder whether an orbiting space station is a vehicle and whether it's in the park, but the obvious intent of the sign couldn't be clearer. Cars/trucks/motorcycles aren't allowed, and obviously police and ambulances (and fire trucks) doing their jobs don't have to follow the sign.

So if this is supposed to be an example of how content moderation rules are unclear to follow, it's achieving precisely the opposite.

(To be clear, I think content moderation rules are often difficult to figure out when to apply. I just think the vehicles-in-park rule is much, much, much clearer than many content moderation rules.)

I run the recruitment process for our small firm. Here is our process that has minimized frustrations like the link OP describes:

Every candidate that we are interested in from the resume pool gets a screening call from an engineer. If they pass it, they get the option of their technical test being take home or over interview.

If they do the take home version, we have a marking rubric for the features that we are looking for in a solution along with sample solutions at the different levels. Anyone who does the take home assessment gets feedback about their submission based on that rubric so that the feedback is consistent across the multiple interviewers.

In some cases, we also share our solution if the candidate had follow up questions on the feedback that was provided.

I sell on Walmart Marketplace. Overall, it's the clear #2 third-party marketplace after Amazon. While nothing compares to Amazon FBA in terms of sales velocity, for FBM Walmart in some categories can be better than Amazon.

That said, the Walmart Marketplace software platform is not great. A year ago, there was a good six months where the inventory system just did not work, causing many SKUs to incorrectly appear out of stock. I still strongly suspect that this happens often, just not so broadly.

> Seeing Westerners instinctively reaching for "the best known source" tells why something like this came as a surprise in the first place, while this exact scenario been a watercooler talk for most Russians, both in Ukraine, and Russia itself.

> Why Western experts driving the conversation on Russia, China, etc are completely blind to things known to every highschooler?

I’m not sure I follow you here. You’re saying that Westerners don’t understand things even known to high schoolers in Russia. I believe you.

But then you say it’s because we try and find the best source for our information, and that also seems true. But it also seems like you’re saying that that’s the wrong course of action?

It reads like you’re telling us that our sources aren’t good enough, but also complaining that we’re trying to find good sources.

At any rate, I don’t happen to know any Russian high schoolers, so I have no way of asking them directly what it is that they talk about at the watercooler. I’d ask you, but that would just be me instinctively reaching for another “best known source”.

ESA is an IGO, it's not beholden to any one government, not even the EU (which has their own space agency, EUSPA).

ESA's member states might need to show their publics what they're doing with public money, and they do that, in part, by showing their collaboration with other ESA partners on projects.
That is a pretty clear distinction. A separate site has separate administration, can be blocked separately, etc. Otherwise you have additional rules: disallow direct links to forbidden content that causes it to render on the page, disallow linking to specific forbidden content, disallow links to on blacklisted domains, allow only whitelisted domain links.

Okay, so first post that I saw when I got on HN. But thanks for the link.
Exactly. People miss this all the time when they write off Rust for "needing unsafe to do real programming" or whatever uninformed criticism they're parroting (they've clearly never actually done this "real programming" in Rust). The whole point is to reduce the opportunity for unforced errors by marginalizing the cognitive load required for the programmer to ensure the program is correct. And a program with a few unsafe blocks to `assume_init` some memory that e.g. a driver initialized for you is still infinitely better in that regard than a program that's littered with `void*` everywhere.
Hmm did you read the article? One specific attack vector they show has nothing to with Git or pushing/pulling to repositories. It shows an install.sh which curl downloads a master.zip from a public github repo and executes files within it.

> Docker

FreeBSD is lacking support of Docker - they prefer to think they can ingest system management knowledge into Frontend Developers and suggest to use Jails (with ZFS/Nullfs/VNET/other horrible words for Joe The Svelte Dev )

> upload images to VPS

Some still have things running on premises

> dependent on CentOS for, that FreeBSD or Debian can not provide

Good luck running SAP products on this

> FreeBSD you have regular release cycles, security advisories

FreeBSD lacks the idea of LTS. At most you (to my knowledge) you may have updates to a) the very minimal set of things aka base system b) it ends in ~ 5 years, not even 7 or 10 c) someone will need to the the job to keep security support for ports tree for 5 years to ensure versions are kept the same. Or in other words - requires more human power on your side comparing to offloading that to the vendor.

For some FreeBSD guys example may be needed.

Imagine you installed latest Ubuntu LTS (22.04) which has Nginx (as part of the whole distribution provided, not "base"/"ports" separated) and it's version is 1.18 and for next 5+ years it will keep the same version. No surprises. You even run auto-upgrade everynight and reboot server ~ once a month for kernel updates.

Then repeat the same on FreeBSD - the ports tree will get updated with newer Nginx ( I've checked https://ports.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=nginx&stype=al... here, it's 1.24.0 and no older versions available) and when 1.25.1 will be become new mainline (probably in 1.26?) your configuration will stop working as they have deprecated "ssl on;" construct.

Or, other sample - let's say I'm developing Nginx module and selling it in binary form. I realize that my auditory is Centos/Ubuntu users. I know in advance in that case, which compatibility I need to support in terms of ABI, features, support articles and training. It helps me [as vendor of 3rd party software] with planning and keeping lower costs.
Exactly. Presumably there are some opt-in tools that are very strict about the inline assembly uses you have in C. I don't have any experience with them, but I'm sure they exist.

That's the whole point, it's less about the language, and more about the specifics of the code itself in a testable way. Saying something is written in C without accounting for a bunch of inline assembly is analogous to saying something is written in Rust and not accounting for a bunch of unsafe blocks. Not in that they are equivalently safe or unsafe, but that that high level assumptions because of the language fail because of the practices done within.

If I had to choose between two libraries written in C and one was pure C and one was 50% inlined assembly, and I viewed security and safety as more important for my use case, I know which one I would choose if that information was surfaced to me easily.
Yes, in the worst case, it would need O(n) to evict, and it can hurt tail latency, but it only happens once in a while in the worst case because each time when an object is checked, the bit is set to 1.

I don't understand the O(n*m) argument, does the answer invalidates it?

On the tail latency part, if it becomes a problem, we can bound the number of objects it checks.
I came away with the exact same takeaway. If you really want to convince people that content moderation is a hard problem, just ask them to listen to this Radiolab episode about Facebook's struggle: https://radiolab.org/podcast/post-no-evil

It's much more convincing.
The relevance of MIX/MMIX is that to me, MIX is a lot like C in its aspirations and failures as time passed it by. Knuth described similar motivations in terms of portability, not wanting to choose a favorite architecture, and so on. But it ended up being an incredibly baroque, opaque, and obscure way to show algorithms, even though he meant it to be more concrete and relevant than pseudocode.

Then MMIX seems to me to sort of concede that sample code should be a little more like real life code, while still being far more difficult to follow than need be.

Some people just love complications for their own sake, like a medieval monk illuminating a manuscript. That's not wrong, but it's not right for everyone.

The issue I have is with people falsifying the reasons that C can be attractive. The IOCCC is the essence of what C is actually about. It is just not anything like an elegant "high level assembler" that reflects machine architecture. Maybe there is an alternative these days that fits the bill better, or maybe not.

>There is no such thing as non-strictly standards compliant C. It's either C, as specified by one of the international standards, or K&R C for those who can't target a standard, or things that are not C.

Well, here we go. First of all, the tone of this statement takes me back to clc. I could almost believe it's a direct quote.

Secondly, I haven't written a great deal of C code in the last 40 years, all told, but I was writing C code before C89 (and you, I infer, were not). It certainly wasn't K&R C, and it couldn't be standard C if that wasn't invented yet, right?

Everything meaningful "written in C", I think, falls into your category of "things that are not C". Like the Linux kernel.

That's just annoying to some people like it was when "kilobytes" were renamed "kibibytes" or "dwarf planets" were suddenly not "planets".

But shouldn't it bring with it a tiny bit of doubt that there might be something wrong with the ideals of the orthodox? There are many belief systems that have proved impossible for humans to follow, and just because many people are hypocrites doesn't mean that we should define ideals people strive for such that everyone becomes a hypocrite.

If people say undefined behavior allows your program to blow up the world, that is not debatable in isolation, as all definitions are arbitrary. But it is inconsistent with ever using or encouraging anyone else to ever use the language.

>What was your point?

I was pretty cautious. I think I read the FAQ as one was instructed to. I don't know if I ever posted any questions at all. I read it, and the arguments with newbies who over time increasingly seemed like trolls, as entertainment. Same as with the Ayn Rand worshipping Objectivists, the anarchists, or the Holocaust deniers in other groups.

I used to think, no matter how certain people are in their rectitude, can they not see it's leading to endless flamewars where people just wind them up for fun? What do they think the group is for? Do they make the connection that ultimately it is for whatever actually exists in that space? Do they really want what exists there?

The word vehicle is up to interpretation, so it helps to not use umbrella terms like vehicle. Anything used to move goods or person is technically a vehicle. However in the a conventional understanding it is the embodiment of what would move goods or person, functional or not, to carry out a task not recreational unless also used with the intent not recreational. If both it becomes a recreational vehicle.

Recreation / Not Practical = Other

Not Recreational / Practical = Vehicle

Recreational / Practical = Recreational Vehicle

You don't have to agree with me on this. I know the definition says otherwise, I'm just speaking on the perception of what people think in society a vehicle is. As it would sound really funny to refer to toys as vehicles.

Also to expand on this. Drones they are recreational but also practical, you might use your drone for recreational things but nothing practical so it is just a drone. But the second you start flying packages it becomes practical. This makes it a recreational vehicle. If it is exclusively for delivery like Amazon Drone, it is just a vehicle.

It varies a lot, but seems worse lately.

Not to "1-up" you, but I once interviewed at a company where the interviewers were not only not allowed to tell me what I got right or wrong of their questions (where there was a right/wrong answer), but were strongly discouraged from any sort of non-verbal cues about it.

I was told later this was to prevent interviewer "A" from giving me any answers that "B" might later ask. Insanity.

Someone much later said this was their "Kobyashi Maru" interview. I didn't pass it; probably for the best.

It's about common sense.

Police/fire/ambulances are there for emergencies, their drivers have better training (theoretically) in safe driving, and the vehicles bring attention to themselves.

Uncle Jim Bob trying to drive his Buick around is what's obviously prohibited as that's the vehicle/driver most likely to cause harm...

Exactly. There is a clear majority in the answers. Sure, there are edge cases, but they are edge cases.

But I also want to say this is a really cool website. I love how he used this experience to set the table for what is otherwise essentially a blog post. Very cool.

But to hone in a bit more:

> It was about content moderation. Specifically, some people think that there could be simple rules for Internet content that are easy to apply.

His experiment not only doesn't prove this because of the observation you made (there is a clear majority opinion), but also because the "simple rules" people want ARE simple in contrast to the current standard of assuming you need to be a moral authority. The supposed simple rules aren't simple because they avoid controversy. They are simple because they don't avoid controversy. They are minimal. Basically just take the stuff virtually everyone agrees on, or is illegal/possibly illegal. Yes, there are gray areas there. There are always gray areas. But the gray areas surrounding "we need to shape productive discourse" is a lot more controversial than the gray areas surrounding "is this legal?" Once you stop using moderation to implicitly endorse speech you aren't as responsible for anything that is said. This is the entire point of section 230.

And before someone says "well if you have offensive content then advertisers will leave," I want to point out that is not a content moderation problem. That is an advertiser attraction problem. If the goal is advertiser attraction then we are playing a completely different game and you should remove everything that is remotely controversial. Or consider that your business model is inherently bad for speech.
Np. Thanks for the nice blog post!
I felt the exact same way. I found there was exactly one example of a vehicle being in the park, and everything else was fine. That didn't seem to be their intent
