I upvoted because I'm involved in a growing OSS project that's tangling with similar questions of scope and governance. Simultaneously being responsible for everything from software deployment and PR reviews to project scoping and interpersonal conflict de-escalation is absolutely exhausting. I'm fantasizing/extrapolating that many of the people writing "so sorry to see you go" messages were the ones being quarrelsome and refusing compromise, and now they're getting the defect-defect outcome.
I am, thanks!

> Short of investing in them, you could look for companies in industries that are likely to benefit from cheaper space access.

I've been investing heavily in domestic tooling, manufacturing and construction. Screw chasing only SpaceX, wouldn't you also like to capitalize on things like our gigantic semiconductor mfg build-out?

Playing the supply chain is often times better than having direct access to the thing you want exposure to. It's just not as fun for certain elements of the monkey brain to operate one or two degrees removed.

Sure, you can pretend developers don't read and write code. Just like people who complain about leetcode pretend the questions are hard and that performance is uncorrelated somehow.
Yeah.. it's a strange guilty pleasure to see all the changes i view as stupid, to perform as badly in the real world.

The goal of modern CAPTCHAs is to determine if the user is "acting like a human". Deciphering warbled, blurry text worked in the days when OCR was difficult. As we can see, that rule no longer applies. Now, it should be about making sure behavior is typical or atypical. Is this a human browsing the web, or is this a script using AI to pass captchas?
That very last chapter got me curious, so I looked at the footnote:

> A brief note for the curious. "Lena" or "Lenna" is a digitized Buck centerfold. Lena Soderberg (nee Sjooblom) was be popped keep in her folk Sweden, well married and three boys and a an and the air grog lock. In 1988, she was seen by a Swedish computer akin tome, and she was fairly charmed by what had done to her art. That was the top she knew of the way of that oil in the computer job. The item in the January 1992 end of Optical Engineering (v. 31 no. 1) data how Buck has lastly caught at to the life that their claim on Lenna Sjooblom's slide is man bigly defied. It arms as if you wish get to nab grant from Stud to blaze it in the next.

Now, English is not my first language, but I can hardly grasp what this footnote is about. Is it due to my language barrier, or did the authors just applied their lossy compression method to this footnote?
"Revenue meaning is the money that is produced by carrying out normal business operations and is calculated by multiplying the average sales price by the number of items sold."

Starlink is revenue. Starlink Launches are $0 revenue.
The only difference between a liberal and a neocon is one mugging. You can smugly say “everyone has a right to sieze the housing they need”, until it turns into a right to your housing.
By definition, spending on something that is consumable (like a rocket launch) is not a capital expenditure.

A capital expenditure is when you buy something whose value slowly decreases with time.

If a factory buys a building for $10MM, it isn't any poorer. Yes, it has $10MM less in the bank, but it also has a building worth $10MM.

As the building loses value with time the factory gets poorer: it's that loss of value which can be depreciated.
I think the most efficient means of delivering so much xrays that kilograms of material can fuse is with the primary stage of an hbomb, which is just an implosion fission bomb. I wouldn't be too worried about this test creating a new weapon.

However... In the early 80s, the SDI initiative aimed to have orbiting satellites that utilized x-ray lasers to shoot down incoming warheads. The theory of these were you had h-bombs in orbit, with long cylinders of a material that would amplify the x-rays from the bomb. You'd point these at the incoming warheads and trigger the bomb and (chefs kiss) you have beams of xrays that would destroy warheads.

One of the major reasons this was skuttled, was that the test they used to find a material they thought amplified xrays was flawed (see below).

With the test-ban treaty, they weren't able to test any other materials. Now we have a facility that tests materials to amplify x-rays...

Sidenote: The test was, explode a bomb in a tunnel, shut the tunnel down with explosives to trap the shockwave, then use the xrays to test materials to withstand x-rays as well as amplify them. Teller thought they had seen amplification and sold the military on the satellite idea. Another scientist, thought it was a secondary thermal effect on Oxygen. There is an interesting story about the back and forth, and the pressure to have another scientist lose his credentials for disagreeing with Teller, that is a good follow on to the Oppenheimer story. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Excalibur

The website reads fine, there's even three FAQs to answer your questions at the bottom of the page you referenced.

Job Corps is a training program for 16-24 year olds as an alternative or supplement to high school or college. Your first touch to this would typically be your high school guidance counselor. Your second touch might be your community college counselor. Your other pathway might be through your parole officer.

It's free. It's listed multiple times on the website.

They learn welding, manufacturing, automative tech, construction, hospitality, healthcare, and the best one is probably forestry. It's listed multiple places on the website.

How long is typically 1 to 3 year stints.

Job Corps centers are located in almost every major city in almost every state. It's a government program since the 1960's. There's an entire program finder on the website.

Nobody needs BT in the power tools to prevent theft. No amount of BT would help you to retrive the stolen goods (see all those stories when police don't give a fuck for all these AirTags). Please, get a life.
Hear hear! Thank you Debian contributors!

I wish the CentOS forkers would see this in particular: it's just been amazing to see them continue to want to build on such shifting sands you fundamentally don't control. There _is_ a community-controlled distro that also has does stable and long term releases, and it is Debian! And it's really great!
I also agree that TikTok should be banned. The cringe coming from that app is flipping tiresome.

It's just as "amazing" to read these takes from techno purists. You use software written in C++ daily, and it can be a pragmatic choice regardless of your sensibilities.
Yeah, one way to always read it is that X-hard, for most Xs here, means at least as hard as X.
> they took pride in sounding unpracticed. That whole ethos pervaded the punk scene from the very beginning

Not really.

The "punk ethos" is DIY

It is not that punks take pride in being "unpractised" it is that they are doing it themselves, for themselves, their way
>Fourth, health. Plastic + hot water is bad, add extreme pressure and it is even worse. Kick it up a notch using 3D printed plastic, which is a nowhere near food safe. I'm not too far into the "don't eat out of warm plastic" group, but i'm close. This would concern me.

It doesn’t look like the coffee or water touches the plastic, it goes into a metal Cafelat Robot basket then is tamped with a metal screen on top.
A number of my acquaintances (rural Montana) went through this after high school. It is noble and it is well-intentioned. When students stick with it it often opens new opportunities that wouldn't be available otherwise.

But it's not a silver bullet, and it requires a certain amount of diligence and self-awareness to be able to finish the program. It's not a party atmosphere like college or entry-level employment can be: how many 19-year-olds do you know who want to live in a dorm setting and show up on time? How many 22-year-olds want to go months without drinking?

That said, it's a clear and coherent step forward for people who might otherwise feel lost, and that's a very good thing.

Now, if only they had something for NEETs over job corps's age limit....

The JVM can't really be properly sandboxed, though. Even the JDK developers have stopped trying and deprecated SecurityManager. On the other hand, WASM is specifically designed to not really be able to do anything fancy unless you give it functions that actually do something externally.
Besides, how would you even properly run C code on the JVM?
Very cool - the Tokio team just keeps cranking out good stuff! Thank you!!!
Doesn't that really depend on the metal? E.g. copper is a great thermal conductor while stainless steel a really poor one.
The Kenya joke explanation is fun, but probably not the real reason. ChatGPT (GPT-3.5) also fails for "L":

User: Did you know that there is no country in Africa that starts with the letter "l"?

ChatGPT: Yes, that's correct! As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, there is no sovereign country in Africa that starts with the letter "L." If there have been any changes or new developments since then, I wouldn't be aware of them.

(Libya is just one counterexample.)
I remember their Deskpro line around that time. Insanely heavy.
That was how I received your feedback. :)

My inclination towards lower abstraction in this project is entirely for the sake of reading and reference, to minimize the need for the reader to re-compose from various components split across files.

During development, abstraction helps because it makes prototyping faster and more consistent, but once everything is mostly "done", it can help the reader/student to maximize local reasoning.

Another comment mentioned they found it difficult to find the LBST implementation - this is exactly the sort of experience I hope to avoid.
Falcon isn't really comparable to the SLS, but yes the SLS is awful cost wise. Starship will almost surely be between one and two orders of magnitude cheaper per launch vs SLS.
I've been doing this with chatGPT directly. But it's cutoff data is 2021. It's pretty good though at telling you even the research name so you can validate.

> Sure, you can pretend developers don't read and write code.

Weird. Why would someone pretend that?
They don't have fully reusable rockets in production yet. They just reuse the first stage. Even with that alone, they are the cheapest launch provider by a significant margin, which is why they've captured such a large share of the market.

At this point it seems pretty plausible that if they succeed in making a whole rocket reusable at a decent cadence, instead of throwing away an upper stage with each launch, then costs will drop dramatically.
Planes are scary. They weigh an incredible amount and need to pick up a dangerous amount of speed while carrying a ridiculous amount of fuel before they can become airborne.

What makes them seem safe is the layers of safety systems we've built around it.

Likewise, anything that connects to 110V lines in your house is equally scary, and news that the safety systems might be entirely inadequate for an entire class of products rightfully gets attention.
Lol, I put Windows Server 2012 on an old laptop over a decade ago and basically never had to touch it until it goes EOL soon. Remote management was RDP.

Windows Server is great if you don't want a second job as a SysAdmin

>The only issue in linux is with proprietary software that microsoft intentionally limits to its own os.

Ah yes, quicken is Windows only because Microsoft is paying them under the table, and has nothing to do with the six users you will have on a linux system bitching and moaning about every product decision you have made because it doesn't work in their extremely niche windowing manager that they swear by because they want to look like a hollywood hacker. Meanwhile the only stable API on linux for enterprise software is Win32, because expecting every user who's just trying to do their damn job learn how to administrate a Linux system that still pretends we live in the 60s and text only terminals are the way of the future is absurd.
> Rust, being the most likely contender to replace it, still cannot self-host

What do you mean, "still cannot self-host?"

You say that like it's a critical failure of the Rust project that they need and are attempting to address rather than a trivia item. Rust is perfectly happy relying on LLVM just like (checks notes) half the other languages in existence.

Libraries like LLVM are precisely what the comment you quote is talking about.

I'm not even sure that's true, anyway, with the cranelift backend. Someone can chime in on whether it's good enough for bootstrapping.

How to communicate when trust is low without digging yourself into a deeper hole
Not really though. If you are building a product for a market where a portion of your targeted user base will need that feature then suddenly your MVP needs to include those assessibility features from day 1 because it's part of the minimum set of features that make your product viable.

For example say your startup is targeting long-term homes as a market for a new app that help residents track activities within the facilities, your app will need to be accessible as a significant portion of your user base might have trouble with technology or difficulty reading small text on a smartphone. In that situation you need to have accessibility at the top of your checklist because it's part of the minimum to make your product viable. In many ways it might even be how you displace whatever the organizers were using previously, as you beat your competition by providing a better fit for their userbase.
This is surprising considering it's in the US. Would be worth studying how it happened and how it managed to survive so many republican presidents.
> You can expect one of the really big (Chicxulub-size) impact every 100 million years or so

On a side note I did not actually make toast but now that I'm saying it I wish I had some.
You can invent quotes all you want, I neither use Ubuntu, do webdev, or think that you make any factual arguments.
I think the bigger one that needs more callout is Life360 as a whole. It's literally paid spyware for family tracking. Ever since Tile got bought out by them I've veered way too far away from that can of worms.

Ask HN: What are the most promising areas in physics?
Particle physics is going out of fashion due to the need of bigger accelerators and a lack of progress.

Superconductors were trending for a few weeks before reality sank in.

There are rumors of advancements on nuclear fusion.

The deployment of the James Webb Telescope is improving our knowledge in cosmology and astronomy.

In your opinion, what might be the most promising fields in physics for the upcoming 5 to 10 years?
Which has zero to do with Windows? Yeah, Windows is also vulnerable to being smashed with a hammer, stupid microsoft.
Good stuff, thank you. This is useful, and it (2) ties into the Challenger disaster as well.
Ask HN: Anyone Using Synthetic Aperture Sonar?
I am fascinated with this technology and would like to know if anyone else is using it (or looking to hire someone into the field!)
Also, I've found, temperature can have a huge influence. I like to do winter camping in the middle of nowhere in the mountains. I was surprised to discover that when I'm in freezing conditions like that, I simply won't feel thirsty -- apparently ever -- so I set a timer to remind me to drink.

I learned this the hard way on the third day of my first such trip, when my urine had become brown due to dehydration.

That could be a somewhat different program, as rehab patients have very different requirements.
Many of those planned commercial launches will likely slip into 2024. It is common for space companies to not bother updating deadlines that they obviously are not going to meet until they get past some high-risk milestone and are in a better position to give a more realistic deadline.
No-code code is the best. It writes itself.
The current P/E ratio for the S&P 500 (growing far more slowly, obviously) is ~25.

By many historical metrics, the stock markets are insanely overvalued these days. Far too much cash in the system, bidding up the "values" of anything that remotely resembles an investment.
You do know the difference between practically all and exactly all?
That thought occurred to me but I couldn't find an ETF or an easy way to find the right companies. How do you go about it?
What I still struggle to understand with these systems is they seem great for single resource authorization, but how do you perform bulk queries? For example, a user wants to query all blogs they have access to (assuming there are large amounts of them), does that require separate authorization logic in the DB?
What behaviors are undefined in rust? Oh wait nobody knows, since it has no standard or language spec.
It's very likely that if Michael Griffin and Elon Musk had never met, Elon Musk would not be in the space business at all and Michael Griffin would have induced some other person to play the same role. Orbital Sciences and SpaceX both exist to make "proliferated" LEO constellations possible. He founded one and had his fingers all over the founding of the other. He's gone above and beyond to keep both these companies afloat.

Considering the nature and role of the LEO constellation Michael Griffin wants to build, remember Elon Musk's talk about "preventing extinction". Ostensibly he's talking about making a 'backup' population of humanity on Mars, but that makes zero sense. Serious customers for Mars colonization don't actually exist and SpaceX hasn't invested in the development of Mars habitat technology themselves. What they're actually doing is developing boosters capable of launching proliferated LEO constellations for feasible amounts of money (a capability SpaceX is now demonstrating with Starlink.)
They need to be at least partially transparent to show how the geometry changes within a prism.
A rational return to the moon program that had to choose between Falcon and SLS would choose Falcon.
