Isn't the mechanism of destruction in that test driven by the pig corpse sealing against the openening of the rigid helmet, creating a pressure differential that the body gets forced through?

There shouldn't have been any of that for our adventurers here.

I've been perplexed by some of the descriptions of what would happen to the bodies and other things on board, so I'm looking forward to reading an expert analysis on the topic that I assume will show up eventually.

A lot of descriptions characterize an implosion as a misspelling of the word explosion, with things turning into a "mist", but this doesn't make any sense to me on its face, with the force being inward.

There are theories about vaporization due to compressive heating, but how this would work doesn't seem cut and dry to me, either, because of thermal conduction in such a short span of time before being immediately quenched by near-freezing water.

Some level of disintegration seems reasonable so there may not be bodies per se to be found, but it also seems plausible that there would be identifiable remains. We were able to locate parts (and verify the identities of) most of the passengers aboard United 93, for example. The pieces were small but they didn't "become physics" in some exotic way.

The fact that it happened in the deep ocean makes collection of any remains somewhere between impractical and impossible, no doubt.

I feel a little guilty indulging this morbid curiosity, and yet I am curious.
It says at the link, on page 5, "The compressional loss of buoyancy is of such a magnitude that approximately 1 ton of ballast must be dropped for every 3000 feet of descent to maintain equilibrium."
It's been openly and deliberately much more than an init system for the decade or so that I've been using Linux.
As a player, Unity games seem to have some issues with stuttering especially on resource load (e.g. first time a new enemy type appears). It happens to a degree that is surprisingly bad, given the relatively low fidelity of a lot of titles compared to games of that past that ran better on worse hardware.

I recall Ori and the Will of the Wisps being particularly bad for this. It was unplayable when it was installed on a HDD, and when I moved it to SSD it still had major stutters during racing segments where the goal is to traverse the map quickly (and presumably, load a lot of assets on the way).
I usually avoided comprehensions because they felt like an odd part of Elixir syntax. But more complex nested data transformations can get verbose and the the article shows the difference in favor of comprehensions that makes me wanna try them more often. I could think of cases where it would make my code leaner and more readable, but not before it clicked for me.

Most important part is they're expressions so you can mix and match them with function calls

Anyway, bookmarking the article because it's the best explainer of this feature I recall and will gladly pass it to others :)

I'm not sure this is necessarily such a bad thing?

The kinds of articles NatGeo writes are so spread across the world and really benefit from a diverse set of authors including local/regional/expert ones.

It seems to me that 100 articles on 100 different topics across the globe might be much better written by 100 different freelance authors rather than the same 19.

Regular news publications generally benefit from staff writers who have many years of experience on a particular beat. But NatGeo feels like it's on the opposite end of the spectrum, where all-freelance makes a lot of sense. It means many more voices rather than fewer.
I don't know, those interactions seem to me like you aren't aware of or don't respect the huge power differential between the two of you, the pressures involved on Eric, and the emotional toll that startup culture (for instance) can incur on someone who is starting off in their career and doesn't understand how precisely to navigate the pressures of evaluating ethical scenarios with limited information while also trying to do a "good job" as measured by leadership.

He's a pretty bright guy in my interactions with him and his heart is in the right place. I'm willing to bet he lands on his feet elsewhere and does just fine in life.

And from where I stand, a person's paycheck is a metaphor for their livelihood, sometimes a very literal metaphor. Missing one payment might seem mundane, but it is entirely outside of the norm and is _definitely_ a situation which should cause employees to re-evaluate how much they trust their employer. It's probably not wise to imply anyone who does this is "overreacting as that will simply further erode the trust. Instead, you apologize, apologize, and apologize again and again. Which isn't me asking you to post five tweets where you apologized.
So you fuss at your users who have valid complaints about the availability of your product? It's a valid complaint when the uptime of a service, program, or feature running is critical to your business.

I'm really concerned that Fly's employees like yourself think availability and service uptime isn't important. I think I'll be avoiding Fly on this alone.
You could have a clean ICE using synthetic fuel, and a dirty electric using electric generated from natural gas or coal (like the large majority of electricity around me). I don't think ICE automatically means dirty. It's still an incredible energy density and simple distribution mechanism for energy that could potentially be harvested cleanly.
We should focus on cleaning up production of fuels too.

Actually, as the costs of fossil fuels rise, and costs of energy production drop, synthetics are becoming more and more viable. Could be very soon...

KOTOR II, Alpha Protocol, Fallout: New Vegas are all well-regarded by fans as cult classics more or less, but suffered from typical Obsidian bugs and poor sales and/or critical reception.
> I get the nav bar scenario, but I think I find the quest for "CSS purity" where any design, no matter how dynamic, can be expressed without Javascript seems a bit silly. I have no problem with it, I just also don't think it's quite as noble as some seem to think.

I think you're missing the point. Adding functionality to CSS makes is mostly about separation of concerns and making desired features accessible to a wider audience than just JavaScript programmers.

And while a good programmer can do a lot with JavaScript, all of the machinery for layout—flex box, grid, container queries—is in CSS, so it makes sense to build on that.
Who is ever going to run Arch on a server anyway?

I've used Obarun a bit in a VM and enjoyed using 66 Suite. I wouldn't use it at work (again mostly because it's Arch and we use Docker for everything anyway so no need for init), but I would consider using it on a home project server.

I mean, you could, but when you really only had 2 variables that feels pretty kludgy.

I suspect that's what I actually did, since ansible/chef/puppet/whatever is happy to nest for loops and template the result. It was just annoying that I couldn't do it in place.
Cleaner accidentally ruins decades of college’s research by turning off freezer
The point at which it becomes clear (e.g. digging up outdated documentation) that the argument is not being made in earnest is the point at which I stop taking the poster seriously. My comment was meant more for anyone else who might stumble on this thread than as a reply to OP.

That said, I wouldn't look to run FreeBSD in a production environment without a good reason and 13 looks to be where I'll jump ship to Debian for homelab stuff. The big thing holding me back before was ZFS, but that's essentially a non-issue now.
I don’t remember, or have context for how it feels when it’s instant, so I’m a bad tester.

Ask HN: How to find out what people search for in 2023?

I'm just an armchair observer here, but from what I can tell from the discussions, carbon fiber certainly can be an appropriate material for a submarine, as long as it's only used for one dive.
Some laws, like those against theft and violence, increase competitiveness. The ideal state has such laws - that establish a free market based on voluntary interaction - and little else. And indeed, states that get closest to this ideal have the best economic growth rates and trends in QoL improvements.

I can't help but feel that's half the idea. I recognise its an extremely tinfoil response. At least at the low level, it's probably just some dev that wants to make "cool features" but that easily exploited by "entity of the corporation" where it undoubtedly benefits huge incumbents who propose or at least first-past-the-post these features.

Why would people spend so much time creating those large geoglyphs that can only be seen from the sky?
A while back I watched a video on YouTube, and I forget the name and creator, but the basic idea was there are too many "good" games. Good just isn't good enough anymore, there are also too many great games to have time to play them all anyway so why waste your time with merely good games? I tend to agree with that when I look back and think of what games I spent my time on in past decades. Cave Story made a huge splash when it helped kick-start the indie revolution, but would anyone notice it now?
> Amazon to basically rubber stamp these architectures and solutions with a HIPAA BAA so that companies think they can call themselves "HIPAA compliant".

N-2 companies ago I was a tech lead in 2015 where we were migrating to AWS. AWS was constantly explaining which underlying services were HIPAA compliant and what you build on top of it was your responsibility. I had to answer to separate non AWS compliance folks about my architecture.

AWS also gave guidance. But made no promises that your implementation was compliant. That’s where the entire “shared responsibility model” comes in.

Now, I work at AWS in ProServe. I am very familiar with our messaging regarding HIPAA compliance. We are very careful not to rubber stamp things as compliant. I know the best practices in and out. But when I’m asked if something is compliant, I say this is the guidance we are given. I’ll do a presentation before an Architecture Review board. But I would never make anything that hints as a guarantee.
I was interested in personal computers and then I discovered pre-microprocessor computers. This has got some wild solutions like rod cell memory.

A physical circuit board represent a record of database entry. To program the database one would wrap a copper wire around a rod. The rod would represent a field in a record of the database.

I think.

You don't want evidence, you want someone important to say convincing evidence exists.

One is factual and scientific, the other is authoritarian.

There are decades of evidence of sightings and encounters, collected by government and military agencies in multiple countries.

It's nonsense to claim no evidence of anomalies exists when that's just not factually correct.

Evidence of what is a different question. But the scientific approach starts with "That's interesting and unexpected" and develops from there.

Not from "I can't imagine this is happening and it makes me anxious, so I'll just pretend there's nothing real to worry about."
Bills should have to be summarized like scientific papers do in the abstract. It can be boiled down to its substantive parts but the whole nature of the game (particularly with those omnibus-style bills) is to obscure included and unrelated provisions desired by lobbyists and establishment politicians who are earning their next paycheque.
"The collaboration stopped short of claiming outright detection, opting to describe their results instead as strong evidence of the expected gravitational wave background. That said, "In our statistical analyses, there's a less than 1-in-1,000 chance of nature giving our results without gravitational waves being present," NANOGrav chair Stephen Taylor of Vanderbilt University said during a press briefing." (from the Ars Technica article)

That is far short of the usual 5-sigma (1-in-3,500,000) threshold. So I guess interesting results but not really a major discovery?
It's open source so the E2EE can be (and has been) independently verified. The crazy CIA/NSA conspiracy theories are also quite easily debunked, see here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/comments/14demhj/debunki...
> NewsGuard has a clever way to identify these junk AI-written websites...For example, one site called CountyLocalNews.com had messages like “Sorry, I cannot fulfill this prompt as it goes against ethical and moral principles … As an AI language model, it is my responsibility to provide factual and trustworthy information.”

The red flag here wasn't the AI admitting it was "an AI language model". The red flag that this site was bullshit was the domain name CountyLocalNews.com

Everyone should be using an ad blocker, especially if going to random questionable websites, but the important thing that should have been hammered into people's heads a long time ago was that you can't trust everything you read online and that giving a few seconds consideration to your source is important.

We wouldn't have worry so much about things like AI spitting out fake news or deepfakes if people didn't treat @randomdude420 as a reliable source of information that should be taken seriously without question. @randomdude420, and I'm not picking on them if that's a real person, is just a random person online like me and should be treated as such. If something is important (and if it makes you angry or afraid it must be) verify it as best as you can.

Because Google has become trash we can't just click on the first few links that come back in search results and assume that we're getting accurate or quality answers. Since Google doesn't want to fix this, and nobody else is stepping up, people just have to be smarter.

It just sucks that it's getting harder and harder to find legitimate results at all since they're being drowned out by garbage.
Or when they started killing user background processes (screen/tmux/nohup X) instead of sending SIGUP like POSIX/Unix has done since basically forever:

As someone who runs mostly servers, I also find resolved annoying and have to rip it out. There's also all sorts of tomfoolery with /etc/resolv.conf in many modern distros, to the point I've taken to setting the immutable flag on it to prevent things diddling with it.

There was also the bug where systemD wouldn't allow usernames that started with a number. Poettering's (initial?) response was to tag it as "not-a-bug":

> Yes, as you found out "0day" is not a valid username. I wonder which tool permitted you to create it in the first place. Note that not permitting numeric first characters is done on purpose: to avoid ambiguities between numeric UID and textual user names.

* https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/6237

* https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14681377 (discussion at the time)

Nevermind that (a) POSIX allows it, and (b) so do the user manipulation tools of Poettering's employer at the time (RH).
Big acquisitions like this will be very good for the start up ecosystem there.
You're right, it's designed for C/C++ at beginning and is not SQL oriented. I plan to develop SQL interface and can be used by many languages. Thanks for the support anyway:)
But build it with what?

LLVM?
Even consoles have a decent selection of free games these days, stuff like Fortnite, Overwatch 2, Sims 4, Yugioh Master Duel, etc.
Also, sometimes currencies require timestamps.

You don't represent money as (<currency>, <decimal amount>), you may want to store it as (<currency>, <decimal amount>, <timestamp>) to be able to apply the correct exchange rate post-facto, and not have to deduce from the transaction history.

It also helps with cross-checks/consistency verification.

Also, preserve the original timezone in the timestamp. It can save many headaches down the road.
I disagree on many levels but sure that’s great for Germany, but German law isn’t the whole world.
Ask HN: How would you get users for this? Challenge for you
Getting B2C users has always been a challenge. Even more challenging when trying to get get users for this problem... Car Buying! It is a big point in peoples' lives but isn't very repetitive in a single person's life. Rather everyone has to look for a car but might use a solution to look for one every couple of years.

Ya'll are a smart bunch, how would you find these users?
If we go with the Motel of the Mysteries school of archaeology then it was obviously for ritual religious purposes and they were meant to be seen by their sky gods or by their ancestors who can view them from the sky.

Alternatively if we go with History Channel school of archaeology then it was aliens. Ancient aliens who visited earth from extraterrestrial origins. The markings are meant to be seen by the aliens who haven't landed yet on earth's surface. Or maybe the aliens are very tall and they can see the whole pictures just when they are normally standing or sitting on the surface of earth.
But you aren't using bash!

#!/sbin/openrc-run

> openrc-run is basically an interpreter for shell scripts which provides an easy interface to the often complex system commands and daemons. When a service runs a command it first loads its multiplexed configuration file, then its master configuration file, then /etc/rc.conf and finally the script itself. At this point openrc-run then runs the command given.

It essentially recreated "init script specific DSL" that systemd unit files are!

So you don't have "conceptually simple" SysV script, you have massive wrapper that takes care of the ugly edge cases around starting and managing services and is also is entirely dependent on openrc stuff to work.

And that's not even end of it!

start-stop-daemon --signal QUIT --pidfile $pidfile.oldbin

that's the wrapper Debian and other distros used a lot

So you're using openrc wrapper

to call shell

that calls another wrapper.

To run a service

Systemd equivalent:

[Service]
Type=forking
PIDFile=/run/nginx.pid
ExecStartPre=/usr/sbin/nginx -t -q -g 'daemon on; master_process on;'
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/nginx -g 'daemon on; master_process on;'
ExecReload=/usr/sbin/nginx -g 'daemon on; master_process on;' -s reload
ExecStop=-/sbin/start-stop-daemon --quiet --stop --retry QUIT/5 --pidfile /run/nginx.pid
TimeoutStopSec=5
KillMode=mixed

I rest my case
This is so exciting!!!

I get that on Earth we don't seem to have any crazy gravitational effects from the "churning" of spacetime. However, the universe is vast. There might be some parts of spacetime that churn more than it does on Earth.

Can someone with more of a physics based background explain:

Does this mean with the appropriate detection tools, we might actually start finding hyperspace lanes?

i.e. Rather than creating spacetime bubbles with warp engines[0], we could instead "sail" / "surf" certain parts of spacetime for FTL?

Executing code remotely via default-enabled automatic updates with some delay, or via an ssh command with less delay, the result is the same. Someone chooses to run code on your client, and it runs.

This is incorrect. Encryption keys are generated client-side, and the private key is encrypted with the user password which the server never sees. This is also verifiable through Proton's open source code.
On your laptop where you don't care about your files, there is no difference.

On your workstation where you might need to have guaranteed I/O rates and multithreaded I/O, XFS wins.

You clearly don't understand why snapshots are important, so here's the scenario: snapshots let you take ATOMIC backups. You can pause everything, create a filesystem-level snapshot, then resume everything, quickly. Then, at your leisure, you can use the snapshot you just made as a backup source for whatever destination you use. This means that the downtime for a full system backup can be as close to zero as possible, without worrying about in-flight changes to underlying data making for partial backups.

ZFS on systems without ECC may have issues where the checksums may be useless, but every filesystem is in danger without ECC, and I'm with Linus on "Intel is evil for locking ECC to Xeon as a market differentiator". But here we're back into the "Laptop vs Workstation/Server" scenario.
Introducing LakehouseIQ (Databricks)
well, instances weren't really done to customize variables, their design was pretty much to do "a program that can be given a different config file as a parameter", like it is done for say postgresql instances.
