The thruster seems to be based on ideas of Prof. Mike McCulloch at Plymouth University [0]. The page includes links to a number of publications. His theory seems to be called "Quantised Inertia" (arXiv search: [1]).

I think (not because I have any knowledge about this but because that's way more likely than not) that this is going to be another case where the force they measure is generated by normal interaction with other parts of the environment and equipment. It's great that they are actually testing it in space though just on the off chance that it actually works. Having a thruster design that only requires energy but no working mass would be tremendous progress for space flight.

Good luck to them!

Part of this, though is also who is "in control" of the server.

Most of the times, DNS is on the other side of the bastion, managed by Network Ops, and out of reach of Joe Developer. Perhaps a reasonable situation, fat finger DNS and Bad Things can happen. However, Joe Developer has carte blanche access to things like HTTP servers and with that they were allowed to go hog wild.

So, the innovation in the HTTP space exploded as it was a safer place to dabble to the point that every solution was viewed through the lens of HTTP.

In the end, devs don't know DNS because they don't need to know DNS, and even if they did, the Powers in NetOps weren't going to let them have their grubby fingers on it anyway.
Heating is much easier, but in the right conditions you can still do a lot without power.

- The simplest is just having thermal mass to average day and night temperature. As long as the night is cold enough you can just stay in a brick or clay building with thick walls, preferably painted white.

- If you want to get a bit more advanced, you can use evaporative cooling, like Persian Yakhchāls [1].

- If you go high-tech, certain paints can cool surfaces down by a couple degrees (by radiating heat at frequencies that don't get absorbed by the atmosphere, thus breaking the equilibrium between heat absorption and heat emission).

Of course there is a point where those fail. Evaporative cooling is dependent on a low wet-bulb temperature and fails quickly in humid climate. Thermal mass needs temperature differences. Paints only buy you a couple degrees. In contrast an AC can be scaled to much higher temperatures.

Deep-sea mining causes decreases in sealife across wide region, says study
Sapporo is a big city by any reckoning, at around 2M people. It's larger than Kyoto (1.4M) but slightly smaller than Osaka (2.6M), both of which you're surely very familiar with, from living in Nara. The thing about Sapporo is that it doesn't form part of any regional bloc...

Osaka-Kobe-Kyoto-Nara is practically a single megacity, at this point. (And you can arguably include Nagoya.)

Tokyo-Chiba-Yokohama is a hyper-megacity. Driving from one end of the other can take many hours.

But Sapporo is a rather isolated, standalone city. Hop in a car downtown, and you can find yourself in the woods within 20 minutes. I'm not exaggerating in the slightest.

And whereas Tokyo is a city of neighborhoods -- like the way Ikebukuro, Asakusa, and Shinjuku are rather self-contained spaces -- Sapporo has one primary downtown/nightlife district, which is very convenient. It's not inferior to any of Tokyo's neighborhoods, either; in fact, it's considerably larger than most of them. It also has a system of underground pedestrian paths that's one of the wonders of the world, IMO.

So it's a big city, surrounded by nature, without sprawl, with clean and well-defined spaces.
Huh, the house I'm living in was built with a $300k NSF grant. Though I bought it for $2k at auction (it's 220sqft). Funnily enough, also from U of M

They slowly work up to it. The Death Valley portion of the race is tough but it's largely about managing pace, hydration, and electrolyte intake.

Note that the record pace for the Badwater 135 is on the order of 11 minutes, compared to something like the Ironman where the running pace record is 6 minutes over 26 miles. It's definitely a slower race because of the desert and mountain portions.

Oh and many runners hallucinate. If it's a good trip, that probably helps.
> I've always owned 15" laptops, and i've never had any trouble fitting them in bags, even in a sleeve. I understand why people might want 7" or 10" netbooks, but a 12" machine just seems like a waste of space to me. I understand that most people feel very differently, though!

In my freshman year of college, I still hadn't gotten a smartphone yet due to being on my parents' phone plan still, but since there was wifi everywhere on campus, I used to carry around a Nexus 7 tablet everywhere. I could literally fit the 7" tablet in my pocket, which always seemed to take people by surprise. I think 7" is a lot smaller than some people realize; I don't think I could even type comfortably with both hands on a netbook that small!
OK, I understand what you’re doing now. Thanks for clarifying.

The big downside here is that you’re leaking the size of the details into your ABI which wouldn’t happen with a fully opaque type… I could see some uses for it but haven’t felt a strong enough need to reach for it before, although it has occurred to me.

$475K was their old compensation, prior to being laid off.

Great product managers are very valuable. Having someone who knows the customers and the market inside and out helps a company focus their roadmap on the highest value features and products. If you're paying 50 engineers and their managers to work on products, having one highly-paid person dedicated to scrutinizing every last detail of the roadmap to make sure you're not wasting time on the wrong features will produce an efficiency gain.

I think the issue is that there are a lot of bad product managers out there, so chances are good that most people have never actually worked with a good product manager. Product management is a vague position where quality is hard to measure, so a lot of people end up in Product Management because they know how to speak charismatically and present themselves well in meetings.

Anecdotally, the recent downturn has forced a lot of companies to take a closer look at these highly-paid soft positions. Among my personal network the number of engineers who got laid off is much smaller than the number of product managers who got laid off, despite the fact that I know far more engineers than product managers.
That's fair enough. I have no doubt that, given his background, Eisenhower understood the value of a large country having a good way to move people and equipment around efficiently--whether for explicit military purposes or otherwise.

Remove one and it makes the perfect laptop much more attainable. It’s near impossible to fit removable hardware and many ports in a small body. Thinkpads are pretty close, but even some of those have to have a flip open expanding port for Ethernet. An hdmi port is taller than many laptops. The small body really is a huge plus for mobility and comfort, but you can’t have ports/etc with that.

Oddly enough my perfect laptop is still the google pixelbook. Enough power for what I need, flawless construction, incredible trackpad and keyboard, runs Linux and chromeos/android apps, is absolutely gorgeous, and super portable.

Downside is there are like no ports so you need a usb hub, the bezel is huge, and … it hasn’t been improved in like half a decade.
Yeah, the Swiss neutrality has the same quirks and hypocrisies of every neutrality that ever existed. Specially when it has a relevant arms industry.

With the banking part it was always easier to skate most pressures because at the end of the day the World is controlled by rich people and they all have interest in the "safety" of Switzerland. With weapons they are in this narrow "Buy now from us, because we will not sell during the your conflict.". When sh*t hits the fan these typical Swiss dances don't work and I'm guessing they'll have an hard time selling anything of relevance in the future..
Sound isolation is part of the price/quality tradeoff. Urban housing is just so scarce relative to demand that almost no one can afford quality.

>titled How Do You Live in Japan and renamed The Boy and the Heron for the international market

This might sound pedantic, but neither of those statements are quite right. It's not called "How Do You Live" in Japan, it's called Kimitachi wa Dō Ikiru ka. And it wasn't "renamed" for the "international" market, it was given an English name that it didn't have until then.

I'm irked by this because this is something I've been constantly correcting people with, mainly to indirectly challenge English-language exceptionalism (anything not Japanese is English - we don't know the French or German titles yet), but also a reminder that any publication worth its salt up have emphasised that "How Do You Live" was a tentative title.
It has been hugely successful at what it was designed to do: remove untold dollars from the American taxpayer and put them in the pockets of political donors.

I like the way that Windows does it, where they have as the first element of the struct a double-word size (dwSize) element that records in 32-bits the size of the structure. The size essentially acts as a version identifier, as long as you never rearrange the fields and only append fields for new versions. The opaque functions test the value of the dwSize element to see what actions can be performed on the object.

The code that you develop can still access the member fields directly, and those accesses can be inlined and optimized aggressively by the compiler.

This video might be helpful. Leptos uses Signals, borrowing ideas from SolidJS to update the DOM. There's no VirtualDOM like React. Svelte also doesn't use a VDOM.

When there's a state change React has to rerender the entire VDOM tree and the diff it with the real DOM, whereas using the Signals model those frameworks make the change directly in the real DOM.

I'm not sure how Svelte manipulates the DOM exactly but I it's similar to how it's done with Frameworks that use Signals such as Leptos and SolidJS.

I would say Developer velocity is key if you're a developer. Svelte is a big winner here as it's mental model is easier to understand than React's.
I work for a major OEM in automotive. Getting ANYTHING “simple” into real cars, especially anything related to physical access and starting the vehicle, is a huge undertaking. $1.2 mm is cheap for this sort of feature, assuming that money goes to the actual implementation, standardization, homologation, and integration on the assembly line.

Heh—my favorite prose Odyssey's kinda a bad one, from many perspectives, as it's an even less a literal rendering than most: TE Lawrence's 1932 translation (publishing as TE Shaw—you might find it under either name). It's not so far off it'd be at all fair to call it a retelling, but it's also less-close to the original than most translations. It's also guilty of some of the deliberate archaism in its language that I just accused Butler of, but is more to-my-taste regardless—I make no claim to consistency :-)

I find it clean, unassuming, and to read at a nice modern-feeling (but not too modern-feeling) clip without resorting to abridgment.
> If tomorrow opera, brave, edge switched to Firefox, people won't notice but Firefox share would rise dramatically.

Once of the problems Firefox has that it's actually quite hard to do this. You can't "just" take WebKit or Blink and make your own UI for it. But you can build a Blink-based browser in literally a minute or two with basic C++ or Python skills.

I don't know what technical issues are preventing this, but IMHO this has been a major hurdle, and a huge strategic mistake.
FireFox doesn't synch with saved passwords that Chrome has.. Remembering tons of passwords across many sites, and having to do TFA all over again is excruciatingly painful. This is how people get locked in to so many monopolies today, and probably why log-ins are so difficult overall, yet still not working very well to secure accounts.

There is too much hassle in software these days, it used to be about making your life easier, but so many companies put out products contradictory to that, creating entirely new problems.

A web browser is just like a TV pretty much. People don't really care about what the brand is, they care about reliability, picture quality, compatibility, features etc... FireFox is like buying into a whole other TV before your current one is broken.

Firefox could jump ahead if it radically changed how we can view painful web sites, like turning a video blog page into a convenient scroller, by adding tools to categorize and search bookmarks, or possibly by letting us block the display of keywords we don't want to see. They should also perhaps create their own search engine to counter Google's strangle hold... By turning FF into more of an Internet assistant, it would become a far superior web TV than Chrome, and that would likely encourage wider adoption perhaps...
This is a major problem, actually. Cars sit parked more often than they drive, usually. Parking a car requires kind of a lot of space, like a parking lot or a garage. Car users also expect to have a parking space at their destination, which is another parking space. Added up, the land devoted to parking is a lot. That land isn't serving any other purpose either, it can't even be nature (no plants can grown and rainwater can't permeate into the soil). That land also costs money, so that makes housing and commercial rent more expensive.

If we shifted our transportation styles to be less reliant on car ownership (public transit, bicycles, walking, or even car rental/rideshares), that land could be put to much better use, such as building housing, parks, or wildlife preservation areas.

While I share your disdain for XSLT, the way I look at the XSLT in a project I maintain is that it’s a straightforward (albeit labor intensive, whether manual or automated) refactor away from being directly ported to a more maintainable FP implementation… whenever I eventually have the bandwidth and buy in to do it.

It’s not so much that XSLT is a terrible langauge, it’s a terrible syntax. At the end of the day, it’s just a really awkward way to express some pretty basic functions. With a bit of care, it’s easy to imagine transforming arbitrary XSLT to any arbitrary language expressing the same semantics. This is especially true because XSLT itself is so limited in capability.

We are pretty open to feedback on licensing and have gone back and forth internally because, frankly, we'd rather use a copy-left license.

We believe a project like this needs financial backing and a dedicated team driving development along but therein lies the tension. The common monetization paths either feature-lock critical self-hosted capabilities like SSO behind a paywall and/or monetize behind a cloud hosted option.

The Elastic license is an attempt to maintain feature parity between the cloud and self-hosted tool while still being protected from something like the big cloud providers ripping the code off altogether.

In all seriousness though, we would love to hear suggestions if you think there's a better path.
Which tool is that, if I might ask?
