Oops. I'm lost. Respond to “shortage of scientific glassblowers” post 2018
I'm trying to respond to the "shortage of scientific glassblowers" conversation.

But I don't think this is how to do it?

It's an old post anyway. From 2018. Probably a dead thread.

I just wanted to comment that there is an almost direct parallel a hundred years earlier, when WWI cut off the supply to decent optical glass from Germany. USA ramped up real quick. F.E. Wright wrote up the report for the munitions and ordnance department. Wright went on to become the world's authority on the moon, right up until his death, circa early 1950s. The 60s brought on a whole new authority about the moon, having been there, and back, with samples. It was quite a century and, now, its sad that a valuable skilled profession is being shirked, and a necessary function in our society neglected ... again.

Almost exactly a hundred years later.

One final note. I just read an article today that says Otto Scott's father wanted him to follow into the family trade; glass making trades. Poor Otto wanted to be a chemist. It seems a compromise was reached, to everybody's benefit. He was quite the glassmaker, and quite a chemist too.
I stress that I'm waiting for Part II, because I don't think she's really gotten to the meat of it. But so far we've got

Case 1: Facebook doesn't enforce their policies. There is a genocide.

Plausible Case 2: Facebook enforces their policies. There is a genocide.

Plausible Case 3: Facebook enforces their policies, shapes the future of a country and learns they are bigger than the people. They start actively influencing elections worldwide to shape a pro-Facebook political consensus.

Case 2 is better than 1, but given 3 there is a strong argument that the conversation is being misframed focusing on Facebook's policies. The case where they act and succeed is just as worrying as when they do nothing. Possibly more so, given that there is no evidence at all that Facebook pushing political opinions will result in good outcomes. The mass media have traditionally been cheerleaders for any number of atrocities and help shield corrupt people.

Soaking is definitely necessary for many sorts of baked-on food remnants. But rinsing is mostly unnecessary unless you're expecting to leave the dishes in the machine long enough before running it that food particles dry out and get stuck - in that case just run a quick rinse cycle, it'll almost certainly use less water than doing it by hand
ETL is one of the places that NoCode LowCode solutions and Visual Programming systems have been successful despite the amount of negative information out there. They’re a sort of silent success story in the ETL works since 1: it’s not glamorous work so there’s not a lot to brag about 2: it’s often solved by just paying for some proprietary vendor solution since they will have already done the hard work getting the E and L parts done and plenty of companies have built compelling sales pitches about how simple the T will be with their drag and drop design tools and 3: once the ETL pipeline is done, a few revisions is usually all they get in most workplaces, and then it will run in the background silently until someone questions the cost of running it or asks where the data in some system is coming from or why they get some emailed reports.

The ETL niche is a good fit for the kind of approach you’re describing, so I don’t see any reason not to build at least a prototype to see how the end users like the design … beyond the obvious complexity of getting a visual node based editor and data format up and going (and there’s some open source out there that makes that part not as much work as it would have been 5-10 years ago)

I've only really used it for a VM, and using it "locally" via the hypervisor console works fine - in fact, I can operate both at the same time (NoMachine plus hypervisor console view) and you can see actions on one occurring on the other (since it's using the same desktop).
> Without retreading old ground too much, the backlash was so severe – from alleged threats to big names announcing intent to jump ship – that last week Unity rolled back much of the new policy.

This sentence is bad.

There was one credible death threat (singular), and it came from an employee within the company, so the phrasing 'from x to y' is a weird way to connect strife from one employee to the actions of several companies. There were threats (plural) when you include those from companies to move engines such as MegaCrit, but come on, there was a link to the story about the death threat.

It's poor phrasing that will make people think there were multiple threats, which Unity themselves have never said, yet many stories about this do while quoting the Unity source that uses the singular. Richard Currie could have prevented furthering the game of telephone going regarding the quantity of death threats by simply checking the article he linked.

This will come off like a minor nitpick but these types of not-quite-full-errors can and do lead to the story getting distorted years down the road.
I always found it weird how English seems to basically consist of only exceptions and yet it is so much easier to learn and master than French. At least from my experience as a non-native speaker of either. And I say that as a native speaker of a very very regular language.

I always felt like in French you never know how to write something. And seeing it written you sort of leave out the last three or four or maybe none of the letters when speaking but you never really know from just seeing it written. Depends on if you are speaking or singing too. An Edith Piaf will sing French like it's German and pronounce every letter. But you're not supposed to.

And don't get me started on Monsieur. I mean come on, it basically is "my sir" i.e. "mon sieur". But you say "miss" (speak this as an English word) "yeux" (speak this as the French word for "eyes") and if you tell this to a French person they look at you like you are trying to kill them.

And in the end it does all sort of make sense and they all are intertwined.

Like "have" and "habe" and "a". (English, German and French). If you take a French person trying to pronounce either the English or German word you basically are left with just the "a" if you try to write the word down from someone saying it. "h" is mue. And then you leave out the last few letters. French people have a hard time saying "have" or "habe" properly.
I concur, people can go a long way with IFTT, Tableau, Blockly and services like Octoparse.

For the more creative, there's Cycling '74 Max and Flash back in the day, and I'm sure there are many more low code tools out there that have been stretched beyond their original domain.

Interesting re the transaction ID generation. Sled generates ~70-120 million transaction IDs per second. The author points out that it’s still a scaling bottleneck but I wonder if Sled’s approach might raise the TPS for the contended case.
Personally I like Factorio's graphics and I definitely know it's inspired by those old graphics but, having grown up after those were mainstream, I've always thought that the originals were too muddled by the low resolution and generally dark palettes
Fitting, given industrialcraft and buildcraft and probably gregtech 2 were inspirations for Factorio. In a lot of ways, Factorio helped me appreciate what old Gregtech was trying to do, but the formula stuck in factorio because it omitted the manual mining aspect. Gregtech was always a bit tedious to encourage you to automate, but it was too slow starting that portion off as it had to give a nod to the base game of minecraft. Factorio basically cuts that out except for the very first 3 minutes of a new playthrough.
Sailboats use sea water in their toilets all the time but using it would require two systems, one fresh and another brackish. Very doable but more expensive. I believe they've also use grey water for toilets and plants but again it requires splitting the systems and having storage.
This is an inane comparison. Casting as demonstrated in the example is normal and has to be expected. Go types aren't as strict as types in other languages. Code can't assume otherwise.

Anyone knows what “fly.com” game was properly called? It featured a side-scroller airplane that was controlled with 2 buttons - pitch up and pitch down, making it loop de loop if the button was held. It could fire at air targets and drop bombs and ground targets. Always wanted it for my arcade console.

Another one I was wondering about was an Infogrames (i remember the name and logo of the publisher for some reason featuring an ant eater i think) police? game featuring a sniper element where you have to scan windows in telescopic sight and shoot before you are shot at.

And lastly there was a Prince of Persia / Another World like game that featured similar control mechanics, but also had guns.
There aren't any use cases for crypto technology except crypto. It relies on so many specific assumptions that none of the components make sense when taken out of context.
> For instance, in French the letter 'e' can take four forms—without accent, grave è, acute/aigu é, circumflex ê. This makes the letter much more flexible and greatly assists with pronunciation.

The circumflex is not related to pronunciation; it tells you that in the historical form of the word an S followed the vowel. The other three are just three different French vowels. It's an odd conflation of concerns.

> Similarly, proper nouns such as Wycombe, Warwick, etc. defy logic when it comes to pronunciation and would greatly benefit from diacritical marks.

Same problem; diacritical marks aren't what you want there. What's happening is that the spelling has changed more slowly than the pronunciation. You don't want to disambiguate the pronunciation of Warwick (between what and what?), what you want is to realize that the spelling isn't trying to tell you how it's pronounced. It's telling you how it used to be pronounced. (Though, in that case, it's not at all difficult to predict the modern pronunciation.)
Why even consider these counterfactuals? Is asking Facebook to not amplify bald-faced calls for ethnic cleansing too much here? Can we agree that Facebook should make a conscious effort to NOT do that, and failing that withdraw from the market?

I'm aware that Australia and the US have extremely lengthy, heavy trains (the EU mostly deals in short trains, though). But I was pointing out that the visual scale of Factorio is already pretty out of whack, especially for what ought to be the largest entities (the rocket silo is also comically small if you math it out), so objecting to the absurdity of the vertical incline feels like it's closing the trainshed after the locomotive has left.
I’m working on a memory model for a new platform which is almost entirely based around copy on write, snapshots and SSI. But in distributed effects you still need locks and two phase transactions and so on. These are largely complementary features imo.
It is a conspiracy (a conspiracy actually requires it be possible to do in the first place as conspiracy doesn't mean "crazy impossible thing that can't happen"), but that's complexly beside the point I'm making and the distraction it provides is expressly why I didn't say the issue with the reasoning was it's a conspiracy.

Even if we assume with 100% certainty Microsoft was/is actively interested in engage in a conspiracy to muddy news around "Microsoft keys" they know they don't actually need to bother with all that simply because "Microsoft keys" are already a regular news subject - without hiring a PR firm or actively pushing the news. And this is all besides the points of arguing whether the key signing news is "just now" blowing up in order to even make the two events seem to align.

Besides, the truth of "few reading the news actually give a shit about understanding email security keys but anything about free ways to activate Windows changing regularly makes a more popular story" is far more interesting anyways because no amount of wishing the problem was actually a few PR people at $EvilCorp controlling the media instead of people simply not caring will ever explain why the email news story never got to the same popularity in the months and updates (and following month) since it has been out there.

You can print new crypto by forking an existing chain, because if it suddenly gets a ton of new users, none of them have any reason to respect what the slow database says the current ones belong to.

Meanwhile, printing fiat money isn't a problem and is in fact the reason the system works. Crypto users and Austrians are deluded about the purpose of money, which is to facilitate transactions and not to keep score.
Isn’t 2PL a limited applicability construct?

I disagree. It's my opinion all the recent attention is going to be a net positive for the project including the C# binding post.

I think they will retain a sizable by number of users, particularly hobbyists, from this AND, importantly, a lot of people capable of contributing to the engine itself.

Bob and Bonnie Baker explain how it "Gravitational Waves". Buzz Aldrin is actually an executive with Bob Baker's Gravewave, LLC.

The key is a double-helix of hundreds of millions of piezoelectric thin-film bulk acoustic resonators coupled in series, synchronized by microwave-frequency EM pulses. . This triggers a resonant "jerk" in the gravitational field that manifests as high-frequency, high-power gravitational waves. http://www.drrobertbaker.com/docs/AIP;%20HFGW%20Piezoelectri...

Salvatore Pais has some patents about gravitational waves as well.
Not at all. Pursuit of knowledge is sacred with many cultures. “Native Hawaiians” make up about 10% of the population, many of which of which support these kind of projects. They want their kids to live in a world that values knowledge like anyone else. There is always a vocal group that does not want change. And unlike like devastating resource destruction projects like mining, these facilities can be removed, just like the wind turbines so many complain about. Hawaii needs all the non-tourist projects we can get.

You could have no auto-update functionality, and that would go a long way. But then, you are severely crippling your product by doing that. Releasing clientside sourcecode doesnt mean much if the NSA forces you to give everyone else a different binary and sourcode than your target. It means nothing.

Look- the point is, you will go down a endless rabbithole of trying to appease everyone with "bulletproof" security. And the more you go, the more functionality and usefulness you will give up.

The best solution is to be realistic and not make defacto claims. Even things like TOR, which have been open source and audited from day one have had serious issues, and I am sure many TOR developers parroted the "you cant be tracked using us" only to have exploits and code issues pop up multiple times.

>The wound is still relatively fresh.

Only a portion of the community still actively talks about the overthrow. Many Native Hawaiians also support the TMT.

>but that doesn't mean I want another country to invade and then build it.

A lot of the people who overthrew Queen Liliuokalani were subjects of the Kingdom [1]. It's a common propaganda point of the sovereignty movement to just label them as Americans, to imply they were some foreigners that just came in and overthrew the Queen. The calling in of the Marines wasn't really sanctioned by the US and later on the US attempted to give Hawaii back to the monarchy.

The sovereignty movement like to play it like the US just invaded, took over the land, and forced out the Native Hawaiians, just like they did with tribes on the mainland. But that's really not true at all. More importantly, it has nothing to do with Maunakea, as the mountain itself never really belong to the people.

How about we blame genocides on, I don’t know, the people committing the genocide? Meta didn’t burn down villages or shoot anyone. People did that. Are we supposed to believe those people have no agency and aren’t responsible for their actions? Like if you see a Facebook post you just have to mindlessly do whatever it says?
There's no mention of the actual electrical architecture. In the rendering, I only see modules and no DC/DC converters or inverters separate from the modules. Some of the competition uses module level inverters so maybe that's their approach as well? It's hard to tell if the 3 large conductor looking objects going down the font of the module faces (or rear?) are 3 phase AC or 2 x DC cabling + 1 comms or a fire suppressant line.

It would also be good to know what depth of discharge nets them 12,000 cycles (edit: looks like 95%)
