There are a lot of companies that produce what amounts to the "Walmart line" - basically a cheap version of their normal products. Sure, their products are sold elsewhere, but never for as cheap as Walmart.

Plus, Walmart has pretty terrible payment terms. Suppliers hand over the product, and maybe Walmart pays them for it in a year.

Walmart is too large to ignore, but too cut-throat to survive exclusively on.

But Walmart isn't the only company like this. The entire domestic auto industry operates like this (supplier costs are known to the fraction of a cent, and manufactures know exactly what margin to give in order to keep them around, but just barely), as is Apple.
Your comment itself carried implications. “Some of us think…” is aggressive, and it contrasts the “enlightened” view against others. And you assume that the OP was ignoring those deaths, when they simply said it isn’t at the forefront of their mind.

I was contrasting your admonishment of the OP against the millions of deaths that you, presumably, “ignore”. The thesis is, why is it that COVID is hard to ignore while the totality of all other causes of death are more easily ignored?

My point was, you and me and everyone ignores deaths to some extent all the time. And you were so sure of your righteousness that you had to reply showing the world how refined and caring you are.
They're more than a few years behind SpaceX. SpaceX reached a similar milestone back in 2016, when they test fired a subscale Raptor engine[1] that produced 1 meganewton (~100Tf) of thrust.[2]

By 2019, they'd tested their full size Raptor at 1.5 meganewtons (172Tf) of thrust.[3] The current production version of Raptor produces 2 meganewtons (225Tf)[4]. SpaceX has successfully tested a newer version of Raptor that produced 2.4MN (269Tf) for 45 seconds.[5]

Each level of abstraction has its own caching and buffering routines because the underlying layers are slow, and without the ability to make them better, you can only put your own cache on top of it. This helps initially, but in the end, the time goes wasted managing all those caches and buffers at every given layer.
I know what OpenAPI is.. but now you mentioned the confusion part, I think I was confused as the domain is openpm.ai similar to openai. However, my point still there about how openAI tries to monopolize anything about AI.

Wikipedia is (almost always) not a citable source. Everyone who knows what "citing a source" is (including Wikipedia itself) knows that.

Sure, we all do it informally, but implicit in that is that you should check the real sources if you care about accuracy.

> It helps avoiding number of arguments problems, though

This issue is all about the number of arguments problem, and TypeScript (in cases like this) won't flag that problem. Which is something I think it should.

If you manually unroll the "map" and call parseInt() explicitly with the same arguments that map() calls parseInt() with, TypeScript will flag that. But not when map() is in the picture.

I understand why they chose to do that, but I still disagree with it.
PCs were incredibly snappy before SSDs, and didn't need much RAM at all. Gnome 1.4 was like lightning, whereas KDE was noticeably slower.

You don't need fast hardware to have snappy apps. Most of the microcontrolled devices you deal with day to day are clocked between 4 and 25MHz. Hard drives are only needed to access files once and load them into memory, and microcontrolled devices have like 256kB-4mB of memory. The only reason apps aren't snappy is programmers fail to make proper use of the hardware and OS.

What you wrote about stress relief is interesting. I wonder if that's a contributor to having a "Type A" personality - people needing to feel like they're in high gear all the time.
Ah, Hyperbolica. I just wish it had more going for it. It feels a lot like the sort of cute educational tech-demo game which you'd show school children/teenagers if you (for whatever reason) wanted to teach them about hyperbolic geometry.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that it exists and hope that it inspires some more hyperbolic games (and makes it easier for other people to get started), but game-wise it's incredibly thin, and doesn't have much (if anything) going for it apart from some hyperbolic geometry (which makes some things slightly weird or quirky).

Hyperrogue is much more of a game. It's arguably not a great game (it has a bunch of oddities, and I'd argue some pretty severe flaws), but it does much, much more with the concept, and some of the worlds are genuinely quite compelling.
I thought it was known for a long time that any function can be represented with a neural network with a single layer. It's an almost trivial finding if you think about it: imagine you have a steep step function that looks something like this: __/^^ with the non-zero derivative in a small range, e.g. 0.000-0.001 (or ϵ if you like). Let's call this f. You can piece together any function from these tiny pieces as ∑ᵢ cᵢf(aᵢx+bᵢ)+dᵢ. You just need an infinite number of them. This sum is a neural network with a single hidden layer.
In a free country, yes, anyone has the right to do so. Not my place to judge if I'm going to continue watching Jackass movies.

But I'm not a fan of people like this guy vaguely shaming those who don't like to take lots of risks. I'm not a daredevil, if I got on a plane I would expect it to be safer than the trip to the airport.

The FAA, and the elevator industry, are two of the groups that actually do things the way I like to see them done. If there is one single crash, they will train pilots and update firmware or even retrofit hardware to stop that one specific scenario.

If there's a near miss, and someone could have crashes, they might do the same.

Anywhere else, we just say "Yeah, we know this kills X people a year, but if ya wanna be safe don't get up".

Innovation is largely overrated. A lot of the useful stuff seems to be held up on the basic science rather than willingness to do hands on experiments.

If there's tech to save fuel, they'll do it because it's cheap. If there's tech to make it safer, the FAA will probably require it.

If there's some really clever trick that does neither but makes it simple and cheap and interesting, I'm quite happy for it to just remain in the experimental stuff.

Whenever people talk about innovation being more important than safety it always sounds like typical hacker ethos "I want a world full of lots of different random technical ideas that are simple and can be understood"..... "love of ideas" more than love of engineering progress in the modern sense.
MagLev Aero unveils “breakthrough” HyperDrive eVTOL propulsion system
I'm with you on this feeling. There was always a component of this, IBM certainly pitched programming as a trade (COBOL) since the 50s, MS targeted managers and C-levels with promises of 5x developer productivity to sell Windows NT over Unix, and then there's the concept of "business logic", which relegates programming for its own sake to the nether regions.

The retro computing scene may have some of what you're looking for.
Yes, I had a very similar experience.

Honestly 2h from scratch is a rush to do anything? However simple it is, you're asking for an 'entire' greenfield project, of course I have skipped things and missed corner cases.
How is that relevant? Incompetent / criminal lawyers are almost never disbarred in any field.
One example of additive layer manufacturing I remember reading about when it comes to engines (and I think Raptor does use it) is the ability to reduce weight and potential failure points by combing parts which would otherwise have to be separated with methods of connecting them adding to weight and failure points. IIRC the engine cooling solution also becomes much easier to engineer and manufacture with 3d printing.

When it comes to mass production, 3d printing isn't that problematic, as you can just have several printers.
High Isp is actually a bad thing in a first stage. That stage is done almost immediately, so high Isp doesn't buy much, but low propellant density (which tends to go with high Isp) makes the stage larger and more expensive. This is why launchers tend to use hydrocarbons, not hydrogen, as fuel in the first stage. Low propellant density also makes the pumps larger and so reduces the thrust/mass ratio of the engines.

I think the explanation of “shared human memory” plausible, in terms of it tapping into some primitive (possibly evolutionary) pathway (as it seems to occur in other cultures as well, so nurture is not likely).

We do have other perhaps similar “shared experiences” in the form of fear of snakes, which is theorized to come from primate evolution — we may even have “hard-coded” snake detection! Anecdotally and according to some studies, people can recognize a snake faster than they would even consciously realize it. This is also what snake attack survivors often tell. Maybe something similar exists for Hatman, it is just being repressed by default? Another evolutionary fear are birds as far as I know, plus fire. Some think this may be the origin of dragons (flying, fire-breathing snakes).
I think meat eaters would eat it. If it was better or at least cheaper than what we are currently buying.

My understanding is that we are not actually anywhere close to that point. And products are closer to the cheap products than anything quality. Think of pink slime...

I've tested as INFP and INTJ. I'm not going to deny the Introvert theory part. The rest of it, I don't know how seriously to take it. I haven't studied the academic literature, and the occasional pop-psych writing about it bears some similarities to astrology writing (e.g., appeal to being special, being deep, having powers, navel-gazing, etc.).
You're probably on to something. I frequently get impressions like, good Lord, can't you tell this person is schmoozing? Or that they're trying to hide their agitation? Same with people prone to black and white thinking. And it comes after just a minute or two. And it's often right. (Though I constantly doubt myself and possible confirmation bias.) I wouldn't say it's preternatural but better than most people, apparently. I almost never vocalize these impressions. Because the reasons why are inexplicable, and few have any reason to trust my gut instinct over any other person's.
While that is true about Rust, most new languages are gonna have the same thing. It'll be years before they get to 1.0. Look at Zig, just about every new language. So I don't think it is valid to discount the 1.0 days because all languages are gonna need awhile to get to the 1.0 day. It still took 17 years of time investment to get Rust to where it is today.

> Have you never heard of someone being a good judge of character?

I’ve heard of people claiming to be a good judge of character, or claiming other people are, usually without evidence and as an excuse for actions which involve disregarding objective indicia of character as it relates to the decision at hand, and very often as an excuse specifically for making decisions that seem to amount to disregarding objective criteria to favor their own and/or a generally-socially-favored race, ethnicity, subculture, etc.

It does the quantity x price from the transactionline and stores that in transactionaccountingline. So for example, if you edit a transaction, the code accepting the POST has to update two records per line, not just one.

Unless of course the extension field in transactionaccountingline is seeded by a SQL Function that does that automatically. Which might be a preferred approach for your implementation. The downside of SQL functions though, they tend to be invisible to others maintaining the code.
I would never use Windows again for my own computer. It loads shit like candy crush in the background and keeps it in memory 24/7. You cannot disable that. Candy crush… I don’t know how people work at microsoft unironically.

Compare that to Mint which looks exactly the same as Windows and now runs 100% of Windows games and it’s just unfair. It’s like running candy crush in a barrel.

>I don't know how the support business breaks down for this, but for the large customers, I can't imagine any of the little rebranding projects taking the support business that the IT dept. itself calls. "Nobody ever got fired for buying IBM," and in this case it's literally true again: RH still have some of the best technical experts.

I support a very large telco company, and they've had a massive effort underway to convert all of their RHEL systems to Rocky (preferred) or Ubuntu because of the loss of CentOS as something they could use on non-production systems plus their (the telcos) financial issues making them look for any software licenses they can abandon. They've replaced thousands of RHEL boxes with Rocky boxes already, all public cloud images must use Rocky or Ubuntu, no RHEL allowed.

The use of RHEL is limited to critical systems like those running an Oracle DB only (and even those they are investigation replacements for).
Personally, I have more enjoyable things to do with my time than spend a day doing something no one else will spend more than 5 minutes on before deleting it.

I’d rather spend a day preparing a D&D game for 6 people who will have fun for 4 hours. Once the game is over, we’ll have memories of a time we spent together.

Alternatively, I’ve spent a lot of time playing with Home Assistant. The end result has been automation I use on a daily basis.

That’s why I don’t like them.

> perplexed by the attitude of the (I presume) Europeans in this thread

It's deflection. ESA and ArianeSpace have left a massive strategic hole in Europe's capabilities, in large part due to the arrogance of their leadership.

I haven't met a capable European (and yes, I think I can speak that broadly to this) who couldn't communicate why they'd be good at a job or why a job done was done well. When people say they're eschewing promotion out of humility, it's usually because they don't have anything promotable or are bad communicators.
And then if your farm is not as efficient as the big land owners think it should be, you lose everything you ever worked for or loved. It's no surprise some of these people kill themselves.

Don't. I can honestly say that I didn't write this post targeting HN. I'll go further... this post wasn't meant for people who are unlikely to use https://github.com/fly-apps/dockerfile-rails#overview. I recently added some features to that gem whose usage may not be intuitively obvious. I wrote this post to explain some of the motivation for those features.

I don't know how to mark posts as not intended for HN (and truth be told, if there was such a feature, I'd be inclined to overuse it). I don't know where else I should have posted this content, but I'm not sure I would be inclined to move it. In any case, this post, as written, serves a purpose for me. Somebody not you and not me felt it belonged here. We can both second guess that decision. Either way, there is no reason for either of us to feel bad.
You don’t seem to be paying attention to the words “vertically integrated” in my question — which were the whole point of my question.

Apple creates both the OS and the hardware for their phones. So why shouldn’t the hardware microcontroller firmware for the hardware they create (or commission and constrain the design of), run as one or several RTOS blobs that ship as part of the OS on one or several shared MCUs?

Let me put it this way: in x86, the motherboard has a power controller, but the CPU also has its own power controller. But on a vertically-integrated SoC system, I would expect there to be only one power controller, that controls power for the CPU, the other cores on the SoC die, and the various other components on the logic board. And I would expect that power controller, whether standalone or integrated into the CPU, to be running first-party code written by the system integrator (who is also the designer of the logic board, the SoC, the CPU in the SoC, and the power controller itself) rather than running code written by some vendor who was writing it in a “this chip could be used in many different builds, so it must be designed defensively for badly-integrated systems” manner.
Instead of being argumentative about this, look where we actually have documentation, which is aboriginal burns in the AU.

It turns out that people that lived in fire country for hundreds/thousands of years built up practices of burning when fires would remain calm rather than explode into conflagrations. "Advanced" is relative in this sense.

Between this and natural fires the landscape had a patchwork quality that acted as natural fire breaks.

You can essentially already do that. I live in a place basking with sun most of the year, and have 22k of panels with a 15kw inverter (max allowed before being considered commercial).

It is clearly not economically viable for most regions, but for us it luckily is
