Can you build a 4 dimensional one on a hypersphere, so that traffic can go around in circles in time?

Bonus question: if you can, what happens if you drive a DeLorean at 88 miles/hour on it?
My initial issues with Musk was that he tended to push ideas and time frames WAY beyond what was reasonable.

Tesla / Space X are already amazing in almost ever respect, it doesn't need all the silly hype machine on top of it. Yes, it is neat to think about Mars bases eventually but that should be a stretch goal not pushed as "It is 4 years away!".

Starship is an incredible achievement already and I suspect it will come together quicker than we anticipate (less than a decade, probably in the next 2-3 years) but Musk had always promoted time lines and ambitions that were silly. Like point to point public rocket travel by 2030. The thing cannot land yet and they are already thinking 50 steps ahead with a stated date. That doesn't detract from Space X's achievements but it does cast a shadow over them as a whole.
They were the same thing at one time. "Emoticons" came first.[1] When someone replaced :-) with a smiley picture, there was a debate about whether they should be called emoticons or emojis. Emoji won out.

Use Rust like ADA, or use it for OS yes.

For typical applications I am learning nim, which has python syntax, c speed and size, and could be memory safe too.

I really feel nim deserves more love, for that you can balance coding-speed(write like python script), size , performance and security, and cal leverage c and c++ libraries without FFI, no other languages can have those at the same time.
> What's the difference in signal strength between bluetooth and wifi?

Big in my experience. 15 - 20 feet vs 100+ feet for wifi out in the open like that.
Probably be careful with the Tate stuff. He's sort of falling out of fashion and I don't know you want him and his baggage associated in any with your startup

I got excited when I misread this thinking they had one already.

Their thermoses are so amazing. In fact, they’re so good that I often have to keep the lid open cuz my coffee stays too hot for too long.

bytebytego is insanely high quality compared to the geeksforgeeks like website that came before.
More like "this submission has errors check your work". That's the job of any compiler, Rust was made to be especially strict.

If you want sugarcoating or simply rapid prototyping I'd use a dynamic or scripting language instead.
I think the correct approach is to do full-real-name_good-package-name it might not be practical but it would be legendary.

> Impossible. It's not how the universe works.

The degree to which we normalize unsustainable industrial activities is impressive.

We're not talking about the heat death of the universe here. Industrial society (especially industrial agriculture) is counting down toward auto-destruct sequence on a time scale of decades, not billions of years. Look at trendlines for soil erosion, aquifer depletion, cadmium soil buildup, land salinification, etc.

It's oddly one-sided how people always ask if sustainable agriculture can replace industrial agriculture. By the very definition of the word "unsustainable," industrial agriculture cannot replace industrial agriculture.

The impact of rockets is a tiny speck by comparison. In this case rockets will effectively preempt the slow encroach from land privatization lobbying and housing development, which would be far (far!) more destructive to the wetlands than the occasional rocket detonation or ten...

Anyone who loves preserving wilderness should love rocket launch sites, as shown by the history of Cape Canaveral vs surrounding land.
> Stack Overflow serves all the traffic with only 9 on-premise web servers, and it’s on monolith! It has its own servers and does not run on the cloud. This is contrary to all our popular beliefs these days.

Love this part. I wonder how much of the complexity of microservices and various cloud services are actually adding value on a net basis vs. resume-driven development of some bored backend engineer.
> Rust is not completely memory safe since it let's you disable the borrow checker.

No, it doesn't. What's interesting isn't so much that random HN posters believe this sort of thing, because hey, who needs to know anything about a topic to post their opinion on a forum right? No, what's fascinating is that this applies to people like Herb Sutter in his "cpp2" language, here's Herb:

> I don’t like monolithic "unsafe" that turns off checking for all rules

Nobody does that. It's possible Herb knows that and is being deceitful but honestly I think it's more likely that without investigating at all Herb has just decided everybody else is an idiot...
802.1x. At least that was what could be used 12 years ago. I don't know about state of the art now.
To clarify, they aren't disabling the lints in the section you've highlighted. `deny` makes a lint a failure instead of a warning. This is similar to `-Werror` in C. `allow` is the directive to disable a lint. Eg, I often start new or disposable projects with `#![allow(unused, dead_code)]` just to keep my IDE clean while the code is in an unpolished state.
Yet to see any proof that namespacing has made things better in other ecosystems, are go style links or other types of namespaced imports any less prone to supply chain risks?

It's definitely a good thing that people choose new unique names for crates rather than dijan/base64 vs dljan/base64

Do understand the desire of having a crate for audio manipulation called "audio" but at the same time how often do we end up with "audio2" anyway? It's an imperfect solution for an imperfect world and I personally think the crates team got it right on this one.

It might also fall off while riding on a bumpy trail and be lost forever unless you have a backup phone in your backpack.
URLs are well structured and unique, with a sensible default - sourcing the file from the internet - and ubiquitous processes for easily mapping the URL to an alternative location.

I.e., when you're going to run the production build, the URLs are mapped to fetch from the vetted cache and not the internet.

I don't see any downsides to allowing them as a source, or making them the default approach

You should tell that to Russian media who posted this very long very USSR restoration empire building victory article a handful of days into the war.

> Also, if what you say about red lines were true, the US would not be so hesitant to provide lots of advanced aircraft to Ukraine, which they have not done as yet despite this clearly being a full enemy-of-my-enemy proxy war.

They are literally starting training on the aircraft next month iirc, and will receive them in 4-6 months after that.

Nothing happened when all of Russias red lines were crossed, the Americans are merely boiling the frog to avoid escalation.

I think Russias red lines are akin to chinas final warning now days, a joke.
This should be illegal.

On the other hand, give Sony enough rope and every bloody time they'll convince me not to buy something that I actually kinda want.

Don't worry, the marketing department will pretend that the products aren't shit.
Literally all those things are discoverable if you buy in a store.

Edit: I maybe should have clarified "appliance store", rather than big box. But there are three appliance stores within ten miles of me that sell appliances. Not Home Depot, not Wal-Mart. Appliance stores. The refrigerators and ovens and microwaves are all plugged in and you can try any of them. The only thing you can't try is the gas ranges.

This is the world we built shopping for price.
That's absolutely not fair. Lockdown mode isn't the default and should only provide defense in depth. Devices running the default configuration are absolutely expected to be secure.

Same in my part of the US. They're the most common kind, and new ones are constantly being constructed.
In theory, you might be right. But in practice the biggest investors (and boosters) in carbon capture are oil and gas companies — and for them it’s a way to continue business as usual (i.e., continue to increase carbon output) while hand waving about some future CC project that will make this all ok.
Use C++ if you want control, use Rust if you want safety. And it seems to an extent that carbon will offer most of both.
The OSes want programmers to handle resources correctly, and the Rust compiler makes that task a breeze. We are in a more abusive relationship with our OSes, than the Rust compiler. How about the hardware? Doesn't that need to run assembly in a correct way? That counts as an abusive relationship as well.

Rust's error messages are one of a kind. There no other compiler which comes even close.

As a side note, i used latex lately, it's error messages are horrendous. What a nightmare to figure out what's wrong by inspecting the error.
This is great news!

It feels like open-source is closing the gap with "Open"AI which is really exciting, and the acceleration towards parity is faster than more advancements made on the closed source models. Maybe it's wishful thinking though?
There's not really such thing as a cloned wifi network conceptually: If you set up a new access point using the same SSID and encryption settings, you didn't clone a network – you just extended it by one more access point/location where it's available!

A Wi-Fi network is the abstract concept of "all access points using the same name and passphrase", not an individual instance of an access point.

If you connect the two access points (e.g. using wired Ethernet), clients can actually roam between the two fairly seamlessly without any other setup required, and this even works across brands!
Enterprise networking hardware has protections against this by attacking other access points. Example from cisco: https://community.cisco.com/t5/wireless/wlc-quot-rogue-conta...
Except that that article is only about Instant Pot, and this one is (mostly) about microwaves.

I for instance had no idea that a company called Midea existed, much less that it's now a near-monopoly supplier of shitty OEM microwaves to the world. Here's hoping my indestructible Toshiba keeps on ticking, since looks like Midea swallowed them too in 2016.

Moving the goalposts similarly weakens rather than strengthens your argument.

The truth is rarely revealed via order. It comes into view via messy adversarial processes. Censorship serves only to interfere in that process.
Either "enterprise" WiFi or, if your device supports it, locking down the MAC address. That'll give you range issues if you use mesh wifi, range extenders, or additional access points, though.

I don't know why more devices don't support WPA Enterprise, it's not _that_ complicated a protocol. I can imagine a "secure router" product with a normal WPA3 network for management and an "enterprise" network with a simple username/password list selling quite well in some niche circles.

You can build such a network yourself, though, with almost any OpenWRT device, though it's clearly not something most end users can manage themselves: https://github.com/ouaibe/howto/blob/master/OpenWRT/802.1xOn...

As soon as you open the site in Chrome it complains that my browser is stalking me (I know and don't care) and that this site does not work with it. So I closed it.

Hope it's the last too.

I understand you're trying to frame the question like that, but as has been pointed out now TWICE, and I will for a third time, it's a flawed question because you haven't left any room for nuance. OP literally said they want SpaceX to exist and that they don't like Musk. It's a nuanced thought out opinion and your question doesn't allow for that. Specifically because your premise is flawed, that by not liking a man you're somehow dismissing his achievements. That's obviously and clearly not the case here at all.
Wish they'd spell Cloudflare right...
That's a pretty annoying situation, yes.

Fortunately many default network names at least contain some randomness these days, e.g. three bytes of an access point's BSSID, to make this less likely.

That's also the proper fix – pinning a WPA password to an individual BSSID would go against the concept of encryption being scoped to an ESS/ESSID, not individual APs.
There is also a similar anime/manga called "Cells at Work! Code Black" which deals with an unhealthy individual. It is not nearly as fun to watch as the original, due to what the human's body experiences, but it's still as educational as the original.

Are they? Perhaps I'm out of touch with the brick and mortar experience.

The majority of microwaves I've seen at my local department store are in a box, those few models that are on display are not powered.

Even in the highly unusual case that they were powered or within proximity of a free power socket, I think it'd be rather unorthodox to go to the store and test drive a microwave with your instant ramen.
Of course, eating weeds is the only way to get exposed to environmental carcinogens ... that you just poured on your driveway. gotcha
Inverter microwave ovens do PWM (which I guess doesn't sound as sexy as "Inverter"?) so you get much finer-grained power control than standard microwaves.

Still they don't give you direct wattage control, which perhaps is what you're asking for.

https://www.techlicious.com/review/microwave-ovens-with-inve...
As far as I'm concerned there is only one microwave on the market worth buying.

ONE dial. One. Zero buttons. Perfect.

It does not have a turntable, but it's never needed one.
Keyboard Maestro is excellent. Makes automation on macOS way more fun, IMO.

One nifty feature I haven't seen mentioned yet is that it can click on the screen based on OCR. So, if there's some UI element you want to interact with and you're not sure how to do it programmatically you can take a small screenshot of it and KM will use that to find the element on screen. Comes with useful visual debugging too.

Also, I find it pairs well with a launcher application like Alfred or Raycast:

Other than its height, what is the concern?

No other ship can launch 150+ tons in a 9m-diameter payload bay, use propellant that can be created on Mars, and can vertically land and take off again.

It seems all of these are required optimizations for Mars colonization or Moon missions. The fact that NASA selected Starship as its human landing vehicle for the US's return to the moon strikes me as a remarkable vote of confidence by a highly qualified organization with far more data than we have and a lot at stake.

Could you elaborate on how they got it so wrong?

My best friend Jeff started working on Objectify in 2009 after I convinced him to use GAE. I have built two businesses on it. One did $80m in revenue in the first year and I guarantee we couldn’t have done it without GAE.

Yes, #3 in particular is important for many large corps where one team develops a library that may be pulled in by literally thousands of other developers.
I've done my research, on sale floors. The best I've come up with are Teka microwaves:

- Electronic, unfortunately. No time/power dials, in favor of a menu system from hell, but

- One button press to start (max power, 30s);

- After starting, there's a button to add 30s;

- It only beeps twice after finishing, then shuts up.
Would purchase.
It's not versionless per se, but given you ask for the specific fields you want (e.g. user { name }), you don't have to be anal about bumping the version every time a new prop is added to a response, such as in REST, e.g. GET /users/1234

However, if you change the data schema around, like `user` is now `person` or something, or a mutation call changes the required params, there's no magic, you either update the clients, or add versioning.
They don't run their own trial. Hundreds of doctors and clinics sign up to run trials on the companies behalf.
Out of curiosity, where are you located geographically? In the US, property rights generally extend to the right to exclude others.
Integrated linters save a lot of time with their immediate feedback. Depending on the language you're working with, remote debugging can be an incredible time saver. Modern editors are aware of the structure of the code, so can do things that are impossible for default VIM to do, like find the usage of a variable, rather than text occurrences, automatically show documentation, etc. All time savings.
I can confirm this, Dunkin coffee is scalding hot and it's a reason I avoid them. Atleast I have some closure this is not normal.
Ask HN: Do developers often not know how to put their stuff online?
Hey everyone,

I recently hired three fantastic developers – one who's great with React and two Python experts. However, I was surprised to discover that none of them knew how to deploy their work on AWS, GCP, or even Vercel. They did an excellent job understanding the business requirements and writing the code, but when it came to deployment, they simply pushed their code to GitHub and thought that was it.

Is this a common situation? Do I actually need to bring in a DevOps or infrastructure expert? Are there any dev-friendly platforms available where developers can easily set up EC2 instances and handle the entire deployment process from start to finish?

Thanks!
thanks for checking it out. What’s the killer LMStudio feature for you? I think we probably have slightly different goals with our apps but would love to know what you’re liking regardless.
Also got a Breville microwave, too the "combi-wave" one or something. Amazingly quiet.

I usually hate all device sounds, but surprisingly this has a reasonably quiet singular bell-like "ding" option, rather than the typical "beep-beep-beep" that drives me nuts.

The only thing that concerns me is the oven modes. It's got this plastic spinner piece that supports the glass turntable that I'm not sure about leaving in, and you can't use the metal tray in microwave mode.

So I just leave it in microwave mode all the time.

I wonder what would be the best way to use 8k embeddings. It’s a lot of information to keep in a vector, so things like “precision” of the embedding space and its ability to distinguish very similar large documents will be key.

Just saying it doesn't mean it's true. The point is why you pick that choice, and not the other one. Why you like that color, and don't like that one. Why you fell in love with that person and not another one, and so on... Most of the choices we make we don't know why we made them.
I wouldn't mind not caring about regulating banks, had we not made a deal: banks are given a monopoly to be a (quasi-) public service, which in effect, is a license to print money. In return, we require them to provide that public service to most.

We could always nationalize banks (which may not be a bad idea,) but as long as they're a public service, they should behave like one. And if the easiest way to do it using privacy laws, so be it.

Do you have a source for that? It didn't sound right and my quick Googling suggests that it's off by around a factor of 20 or more. (Some put datacenters as low as 1% of total electricity consumption, which is a subset of all energy consumption.)

I was looking for a microwave with two knobs a few years ago and finally found one.

Unfortunately it was one of the most expensive ones in the stores: https://www.breville.com/us/en/products/microwaves/bmo850.ht...
