This is not new technology, but it's definitely interesting. I played with exactly this stuff for my capstone design project in undergrad in 2009 or 2010. Our application was super-high-res aerial photo/videography but the principle is the same.

What you can do is essentially fly around with a little bit of flap extended, and if the system senses a gust/pocket of air that would cause an "upward bump" sensation you can shed lift by pulling the flap in and/or deploying lift spoilers. It requires high precision instruments to pull off, and usually the physical actuators on flaps are not designed for quick movements so you either need a separate system or a new flap actuator.

All this adds tremendous complexity, and much like the MCAS system if it deploys during a critical phase of flight it could plausibly send you into a stall situation. As a result it also has strong safety requirements which means significant engineering costs.

All in all I highly doubt the juice is worth the squeeze. Airlines can do their market research of course, but I doubt that this will move the profitability needle much in today's environment.
It's a pretty safe play though. The downside risk is pretty low given supply constraints and if you buy in the right area then nimby neighbors will fight further development for free.

Basically every big corp implemented their own cloud storage, so they had to compete by adding extra features I would guess? I’m still happy customer for personal needs since I’ve had it for ages and too lazy to switch. But when it comes to work needs, it would be a hard sell. If you’re a corp you probably have everything integrated with Microsoft or Google. If all of your devices are Apple, you can just go with iCloud and not deal with 3rd party integrations. At the end of the day, you’re left off with less number of potential customers, and even then you have to fight with Box for customers.
They had the option to send it encrypted with PGP. But yes, this reminds me of communist countries where you had to leave your ID at the hotel upon check in. The Stasi mentality lingers on and accomplishes nothing.

> Yeah exactly. AI has not had a killer app yet.

It depends. In software development it looks to be a big thing already. And it's just half a year. As hobby projects I'm doing things that I even didn't think about because they require learning quite a lot. Those are different libraries that I need probably just once.
Yes, and all those constants would be treated the same, just like in many languages things are conventions - you don't need to use _ to name a variable that you throw away, but you do, because conventions.

There's so many people that want to complain about the conventions of SQL but praise the conventions of other languages and I think its often just "which did you see first?"

As per [1]: "29 000 highly qualified non-EU workers received an EU Blue Card in 2021, giving them comprehensive socio-economic rights and a residence in the EU." it's unclear how many applied but if the process is as easy as you described it could not be much more, say 50K is a fair estimate?

As per [2]: "USCIS announced that the agency received a total of 308,613 H-1B cap registrations, of which USCIS issued 87,500 registration selections in March 2021."

If the EU system was as oversubscribed as the US it would have the same problems.

The problem is not the h1b program. The real problem is when teams/orgs/companies start to only hire H1b and never seriously consider a US citizen.

The lack of real oversight shows it’s mostly there for wage suppression. Like others said they downrank employees on hire to get wages down.

There is so much fuckery with the program that is unfair to both domestic and (especially) h1b workers that it needs to be scrapped for a more fair replacement. Tech will fight tooth and nail to prevent this of course.

> AFAIK, the Mach microkernel was version 3.0 onwards, and used in projects such as IBM Workplace OS, MKLinux, and GNU HURD.

GNU Hurd was based on CMU Mach 3 for a while in lieu of Mach 4, which was an oft cited reasons for delays with the Hurd development due to missing critical features anticipated to arrive in Mach 4. Then CMU dropped Mach, the University of Utah picked it up and developed for some time, and finally the active development fizzled out altogether, which added the further delays with GNU Hurd. GNU Mach was branched off Mach 4 at some point and has been (was?) developed as a separate endeavour.

In reality, the CPU's at the time were not powerful enough to operate message passing, microkernel based operating systems so, whilst the idea itself was great, it was not a viable one. It could have been a different story today, but with the large scale operating system reasearch and experimentation all but having ceased in the last couple of decades, it does not seem likely there will be a large scale microkernel (or something else) success story any time soon, which is kinda sad.
> I can't imagine many would attempt to stop you.

You would be 99% wrong. Even if law enforcment presented proper paperwork, every colo I have ever used would call and verify the paperwork. They might not call me, but they sure as hell would call their own lawyers. Once law enforcement is on the other side of the cage, important customers who pay real money could get compromised.

There is a massive difference between getting physical access to your server in a data center and coughing up everything about your server by simply emailing a minion in a cloud provider.
Just yesterday’s evening I was casually browsing through new apps in f-droid (sometimes I do) and found there ‘f-droid lite’ version, or whatever its called. I cannot quickly find it from my iPhone unfortunately.

If anyone knows and can elaborate on that very version, I would like to know more. I installed it, and it looks better to me. It claims it can update the apps without root, but it also states that it’s targeted towards Android 13. So I’m not sure whether to use it with Android 8 device.

Two truths revealed by the evidence presented so far, and the Lewis book.

1. SBF has very low emotional intelligence. He was unable to read facial expressions. He lacked the ability to care about other people. If he were "altruistic" then by definition it would be fake behaviour as altruism requires an ability to care about others.

2. SBF's attempts at altrusim have been ineffective. He did raise a lot of money however. Only to spend it on personal real estate, private jets, advertising and political campaigns. Not to mention a bribe for authorities in China.
Excellent correction, thank you

None of the products have any prices, so there's no such thing as ordering 47.05 worth of strawberries.

And that's different from 1 in what way other than being more confusing?

Note that in the case you're advocating for, the row number is called "OrderId", which you might have trouble with if you insist on copying a query from somewhere else and using it without modification. Wouldn't you prefer "1"?
Namespaces and constraints.

The first (namespaces) contrast speed (brevity) and specificity (verbosity). Namespacing (long names) are great when you don't have a good idea the full scope - putting your library in namespace means you generally never have to be concerned that terms will overlap.

Macros tend to be the opposite - short, in global namespace, with little flexibility. They constrain the possible output by focusing on a certain goal - this is the point of the macro usually, to avoid some common pitfall without being overly verbose.

If you combine the two, you have a problem - either the macro dictates your preference, or many different macros must exist which, usually being brief or in pursuit of similar goals, will result in namespace collisions.

So of course you can define them, but generally this is better suited towards a specific use case or organization.

Or at least that's the idea. I'm not sure some standard approachable macros are a bad thing, as long as you can redefine them later or pick and choose, but I do get the point of "why not", because they don't want to constrain the language itself. The irony is other systems do this for them and tex becomes more an outsider thing and systems like markdown are far more constrained...

On the other hand there is no way to make everyone happy, and I respect the Tex author decision to opt for a less-is-more strategy wrt to offering building blocks only not templates.

You are of course free to build your template library, and make it popular, but be forewarned that likely whatever it is popular at doing (say, writing science articles), will affect what TeX is used primarily for. Which is the "why".
I would also be curious given the Rust implementation gets a decent amount of iteration - 30x faster natively though aint bad.

Pandas is ok for numerical, but Polars (rust-based) is absolutely the way to go for big datasets.
The article is fascinating if you're a Python developer and you need to stray off the path of things Polars can do.
Well, the fabless part is at least easy to understand. Building a new high end fab costs billions and requires deep expertise that takes years, if not decades, to build.

Practically every chip company these days is fabless. Intel is the exception, not the rule.

That being said, designing a new high end cpu is very expensive and complex. That a hitherto unknown company embarks on such a project is, indeed, very suspicious.
Any code using select * just breaks in the future with any new columns being added, no thanks.

For you, maybe. In my workflows this is really a non-issue for me.

Maybe consider that we use SQL differently and your goals and challenges are different from mine.

You're missing the point that I don't really care about how they're treated. I want to glance at it and know what it does. For me, the 1 gets in the way. Maybe it doesn't get in the way for you because you don't use it the same way as I do, as a practice.
I agree, it was just a PSA.
You really can’t apply that to a payment feature. Unfortunately everything that touches money needs constant attention, even if you “just use Stripe”.
Pandas can be pretty fast, but DuckDB and Polars are both faster than Pandas. DuckDB supports vectorized and parallelized operations on Pandas dataframes, while Polars is written in Rust.

I feel though the killer is that inner loop where dataframe operations are being performed across a large number of iterations, and there's significant overhead there.

For-loops are usually not the most performant solution in Python.

I could be wrong, I feel that there's a SQL way to answer that question, in which case DuckDB might be able to exploit vectorization, parallelization, indexing and query optimization across the dataset in one fell swoop.
sounds like discrimination

The first three areas are shown as square-shaped rectangles. Then at $1b, it switches to using a fixed height thus the 'size' is a linear dimension $amount/height rather than sqrt($amount). Technically all these have the correct number of pixels, but we can perceive a larger magnitude range when laid out in squares rather than long rectangles with a limited/fixed height.

There's nothing special about using a line, square, or cube to illustrate amounts. However if I were trying to have people actually get a sense of a large range I would use cubes as that's the highest dimension we can intuitively grasp. e.g. picking up a metal object of visible volume weighs about as much as we expect.
How the insect got its wings: scientists tell the tale
I tried to sign up from The Netherlands for a server hosted in Germany.

They asked me to email them a copy of my ID card for verification. They refused to have me as a customer even after I provided it. I guess they didn't like the look of my face? They refused to tell me how I could still proceed, and I would've happily paid a year in advance or something. Heck, I could've probably visited their office in person.

I did try to register from a Protonmail account because I self-host my email and don't want to run into a chicken-and-egg problem (need to mail them because my server is down, can't mail them because my server is down...), so perhaps that was the issue.

Because Hetzner refused my business I was forced to look for another provider, and I've been using OVH without any issue for a few years now. Quite a shame though, because Hetzner definitely seems to provide a superior service - provided you can get them to take your business!
In some circumstances, the US. When calculating your taxable, you can deduct state and local taxes from your income for federal tax purposes. This is generally not worth it, since you would give up deducting your state income tax. Even then, the IRS recognizes that keeping track of what you pay in sales tax is unreasonable, so you are allowed to: a) deduct groceries as if they were taxed at the general rate, even if your state has exemptions for essenyials like food and b) ignore what you actually paid in sales tax entirely, and deduct an estimate based on your income and the tax rate.

Pervasive parallelism could make massive efficiency gains in computation possible. If we could move many work loads to hundreds or thousands of threads we could run it much lower clock frequencies and thus lower power. It could also enable the use of cheap, small in order cores, further boosting core counts.

Multithreading doesn’t always have to be around increasing speed, it can also reduce power

The CPI is not a good way to evaluate the value of the dollar. Especially not when discussing if rate hikes impact the stock market.

And again: Look at decades, not at years. Assets are way more expensive these days than they were in 2008. The S&P 500 more than tripled. The Nasdaq 100 increased more than 7-fold.

The economy is like a large swimming pool. If an elephant jumps into one side of the pool (increase of M0), it won't lift the water level on the other side (whatever prices you look at) in a linear way immediately. It will cause complex waves. But when the dust settles, you see higher prices.
Ask HN: What's your most annoying issue with using cloud dev environments?

Steam supports this as well but actually I have read that it is a lot of effort.

Firstly, your entire asset pipeline which combines and compresses resources needs to be aware of it.

Secondly, it's work that can't be reused cross platform. (The effort for Steam will not apply to PS5&etc).

Thirdly, it's another configuration to test, and as the user will forget about the feature after they get started playing, it's natural to just say it's too much effort.
Yeah. 1 breaks my brain for the same reason probably.
The phrase "blazingly fast" is tightly associated with Apple in my mind. Some searching finds that it was part of the marketing of the Power Mac G4 in 1999. No idea if it was used earlier, but The Forbes article even puts the phrase in quotes, perhaps indicating that it was uncommon at the time.
