Did my adblocker accidentally filter out the explanation?

Following the link which is supposed to explain another thing, why it is more resistant to lateral forces, it contains an explanation:

> The parameter a is the amplitude of the sine wave. If a = 0, we have a flat wave, i.e. a straight wall, as so the length of this segment is 2π = 6.2832. If a = 1, the integral is 7.6404. So a section of wall is 22% longer, but uses 50% less material per unit length as a wall two bricks thick.

"as a wall two bricks thick". Hmmm. Even bigger savings as a wall three bricks thick.

What I'd want to see from a dentist but I've never seen this sort of thing, is a full HD close up of the inspection and any work done to the teeth, ie watch what is being done in real time with the ability to stop and ask questions at any time, and be able to take that recording home to analyse further and to monitor the changes to teeth over time.

I'd like to know why X is better than Y before its used, because there is no going back with your teeth, and I like to look up things to find out more.

For example, when drilling teeth and filling them, different cleaning methods of the cavity resulted in a difference in the bacteria that live in the freshly drilled cavity. I think the study was comparing things like the use of an iodine wash versus a UV exposure. Not only did I find it interesting to know that reservoirs of different bacteria live between the tooth and filling, there are different types of fillings on offer and they all come with their own risks.

The quality of work between different private dentists also varies, so where are the league tables of who is the best and most knowledgeable? Price is not always indicative of quality of workmanship.

Because the quality varies, if you choose to go to a different dentist, standard practice in the UK is to have your teeth xrayed on the first visit, they dont spend much time if any looking at these xrays, but everytime you have your teeth xrayed, the incidence of thyroid cancer increases!

Likewise I know of someone who in their 30's visited a dentist, and proceeded to take all their teeth out, and then realised afterwards they had got the patients mixed up, resulting in that person having to put up with false teeth for the rest of their life from their mid 30's. Now besides being an example of health experts making decisions for you, passing off as a mistake in some cases because of their social circumstances, the reduced bacterial level from having no teeth has almost certainly increased their lifespan, because dental bacteria can increase the risk of heart attacks but it sucks that these experts get away with this sort of stuff!

Likewise whats the latest technology being used, can they measure the quality of your teeth better than an xray, like some sort of fMRI thing, or ground penetrating radar tech, where they can ?Dexa? quantify the mineral density of your teeth like they can with your bones?

This is the thing, I dont see much technological developments coming out of dentistry, it just seems to me like scrape, drill and fill and thats it, to be nice about it, but the cynic in me sees it also as a form of stealth control using poor health, knowing what I've read from studies, like mercury from amalgam fillings affecting the mitochondria! A sort of professional hit job.

Bit of trivia about Good Will Hunting is that the professor's jealous assistant is played by playwright and mathematician John Mighton, who has had a comment apocryphally attributed to him afterward that the original script was an action flick, and the final version was not-un-influenced by more technical insight that may or may not have involved him. (I don't want to put words in his mouth, but he was the actual mathematician on set) He went on to create a program called Jump Math, which accelerates numeracy in kids. https://jumpmath.org/us/about/john-mighton/

It knows about how much power is in the battery and it can measure the distance, and power use so why not an estimate based on a windowed average of the last two - three days of actual distance/power?

I'm all good with your proposal, as long as the "one simplified bundled offering" can be preconfigured to install a Teams competitor, instead of Teams itself.

Otherwise it's simply abusing dominant market position.
You probably shouldn't just get in a new car and drive it, but people do. I remember at a hire car place once the team I worked with were given an automatic, the guy driving has never driven an automatic transmission before, but his license authorises it (UK licenses allow everybody to drive an automatic, but you need to test in a manual to drive manual), and so they just lent him a car with a completely different driving style. He had to get them to show him how to even drive it away out of their car park.

I learned in the small car from the same brand as my father's larger car, so that the controls are in the same place, the symbols on stuff are identical, all that was different once I have a license and borrow dad's car is it's longer and has more power.

It also probably shouldn't be legal for me to drive today, but it is. I learned 25 years ago, and I haven't driven anything in over a decade, so a rational system would say nah, you're too rusty, get a refresher course, but there's no mandate for that.

MacOS has been virtualizable in x86 since mac-on-x86 was released.

It also is engineered for development. Maybe not your particular type of development. Apple silicon isn't technically development-unfriendly, it's just apple silicon makes it less easy to do x86 development. But so does mips, sparc, ppc, and other architectures.

Can I ask a question? It seems like your post is combining two separate things. As I understand it and based on earlier comments in the thread:

1. To run a Linux container you need to be running Linux
2. This is why Docker for Max has always run a VM under the covers. It uses qemu.
3. This was true even before Apple Silicon when everything was x86_64 and nothing was emulated

Now you are bringing up Rosetta and x86 emulation. While I understand sometimes it’s necessary to run a container that hasn’t been compiled for aarch64 (or whatever they call Apple) so I can see why the actual cpu emulation capabilities of qemu or Rosetta would be necessary there, this seems to be beside the point.

if you have no Linux system involved because you have no VM, how would that work? What would the base system “under” the container be and what would respond to Linux’s OS-level calls?

"HTML First" versus "HTML Only" aside, I hadn't heard of this one before, and it looks promising.

I've been looking for simpler frameworks that do less, because I'm tired of coming back to projects I've set aside for six months or a year and having to basically relearn and rewrite them to match all the updates and incompatible changes the framework made in the meantime.

At first glance this looks like it handles the essentials and doesn't try too hard to handle anything else; I'm going to give it a try.
Consider sprint estimates and story points. We have those discussions regularly here too and the HN community is very sympathetic to the line that those estimates can’t be accurate and involve too many unknowns and externalities. Why should this be different?

And did anyone ever scrutinize gas vehicle tank estimates closely? I think one of the issues is the absolute lower range of EVs. You can feel it more when a 250 mile range is off than when a 400 mile range is off.

That said, I road trip in my Y all the time. Still hasn’t really bothered me. And I usually drive at 80 mph.

Which is why they are very popular in the less densely populated and large lot size areas of the English Country side. By the time of the New World, fast population growth meant the economics of brick production wasn't feasible and copious alternative methods were easier (wood/picket fences, wood studs+wire, chain-link or wrought iron/brick + iron). All less long lasting, but cheaper, quicker and easier to install with almost the same benefits (fencing of pets + livestock, property demarcation, security). Which is why you don't see them nearly as often outside of Europe (Asia having used their own alternatives better suited for their environment and needs, Africa having had New World techniques used during colonialism).

The true cost seems hard to answer. The cost to develop and support Teams across all Office 365 subscribers is going to amount to pennies per subscriber. The price Microsoft would offer Teams as a standalone solution would be much greater. But the whole point of a suite of products like this is to bundle them for a cost greater than any single product but much cheaper than all the products together.
I know someone who bought an early Leaf to get to work and back. The stated range was 107 miles and their commute was 35 miles each way. The problem was that there was >2000 feet of elevation change.

Tip: tap the range estimate to switch it to percent. The EPA estimate is meaningless. Yes, that should be improved.

That’s never been the case. Drive down moderately steep grades and shift to a low gear to spare you breaks, for example. It’s the same argument. We don’t drive black boxes.

You can’t use tools to fix culture and enterprise culture is what prevents 99% of enterprises from embracing a change to DevOps which is itself - a culture and collection of values. This is the same reason the vast majority of enterprises that claim to “practise” Agile - aren’t agile at all.

I used to think they’d catch up, but after 18 years in tech it’s clear now that they can’t and it’s unfortunate that the vast majority of them are too big to fail so we can get rid of so much of the dead weight we could be investing our energy and creativity on.

>What is this mythical unimportant data that people still want to back up?

I have lots of stuff like this. Often it is easier to just back up an entire folder than go through sub/sub folders separating stuff into: important, not very important. Storage costs are low enough to just backup everything (almost). Also, one often doesn't know what may be important/useful in future. For example a couple of years ago I had this huge buildroot system (600gb) to build firmware images for a single board computer I spent quite a while to put together. The project I was doing it for got cancelled so I had no need to keep it. Still I wish I did, as I'd love to be able to tinker with it now, but 600gb is not a trivial amount to store so it got deleted. Most of this data was pulled from various online resources that don't exist anymore too.

What's the morale of my story? If you have a fast internet connection (I don't) backup "everything" to cloud. Then find "really important stuff" like the pictures of your children etc and back it up again to a different cloud.

If you're in a middle of nowhere on a slow LTE connection like me, building a nas box is not a bad idea for backups.
Thats the crux of the complaint tho, if the number requires education the number should not be used without context and something more realistic should be used. If on average the car does 250 miles it should not be advertised as 400. Either a range or a disclaimer should be present.

I think the "number decreasing" complaint seems to be related to the fact that you would drive 10 miles and lose 30 on the dash. The article also claims the number becomes more realistic when it crosses bellow 50% charge so I expect this difference to be noticeable.
From the article: "federal regulators claim that malevolent third parties could "utilize such open access to remotely command vehicles to operate dangerously, including attacking multiple vehicles concurrently."

Which really means auto makers built a terribly insecure system and hope to hide the fact behind security as obscurity? If so, that's the real problem. The vulnerabilities described should not be there in the first place.
How does the Tesla know I'm going on a trip?

Are you implying its strange that the Tesla can calculate a more accurate range estimate when you literally tell it where you want to go to its computer which can use map data to calculate energy usage, versus you just driving around in circles in a arbitrary area and the computer only can assume based on EPA average usage?

It must be a depressing view, to think people's vices double as their ambitions.
ICE vehicles have lower range as well when going uphill or exceeding the optimal speed and increasing air drag.

The estimates are based on driving on a flat road at the speed limit.

Even my Lexus SUV can get 24mpg driving on 35-45mph roads vs 16-19 in the city or going to the mountains where elevation increases.

People's understanding of range is just not quite there yet whether it's for an ICE vehicle or an EV.

"use fewer bricks than a straight wall"*

Having lived in Singapore, I'm ok with this. I can't judge foreign countries by my Western values when all the countries that agree with those values face crippling drug problems. If this is the extent of it and it isn't abused, I think it's fair for a country to take this stance.
The game is for a different purpose. Once you can get by eye the "book" kerning you can start breaking the rules.
That sort of logic doesn't really apply here because:

* RDS costs obviously scale linearly with ongoing time and probably scale linearly with the total amount of data being backed up. So depending on the revenue of the business, these extra costs could easily end up outweighing the (notional) cost of the time saved, which is mostly a one-off expense.

* The cost of a software engineer's time is notional in the context of a one-person business. The author of Tarsnap isn't going to be able to employ fewer than zero additional software engineers to maintain Tarsnap because of the time saved by using RDS.
> ...does the wall have to withstand that kind of loads or not?

If you want the brick wall to last, and you aren't building it on either bedrock or a deep foundation ($$$) - then your three choices are (1) build it to withstand substantial horizontal loads, (2) pay more for regular maintenance, and (3) wall will topple due to forces from normal soil movement.
The primary point is that you can't make an equivalently thin straight wall due to natural (wind and gravity, primarily) forces. Kinda weird to summarize it without the crux of why.

You also have to save them, and then switch to view them, which is incredibly clunky.

> This is a pretty common take but I don't think it holds up to scrutiny. Generating new code is such a minuscule part of what I actually do as a developer

Yes, generating new code is a fairly small part of my job too. But this is also a pretty common take re ai.

Maybe I'm wrong, but generative ai seems to be eating human capabilities for breakfast right now, and we're only ~8 months in. Today it can do a small part of a small part of my job, and rather more of a junior dev's job, but where are we going to be in five years time? I'd quite like to still have a paying job over that timescale.
