My point is this, how do you know their practices are worse if you don't compare.

If SpaceX does 100x as many rocket engine test but has only a 2x worse insure rates then what you suggest:

> should also have vastly more experience designing safe testing processes and procedures

Is already true.

So articles that just say 'SpaceX bad because more insury then avg' just don't actually provide any information.

> To the point where they may eliminate injuries completely. ;)

> So saying worker injuries are acceptable due to the output quantity of stuff still seems like an excuse for poor workplace practises.

Sure if we lived in a perfect world that would be nice. But no other type of building anything has perfect safety.

And the way you are phrasing your statement still just assumes SpaceX has 'poor workplace practices'. But we in my opinion have not actually been presented sufficient evidence that this is actually true.

So yes its no excuse for 'poor practices' but I have yet to be convinced that their practices actually poor. There is a difference between saying their practice isn't perfect and its actually poor.

It seems to me these articles just want to say something bad about SpaceX because they know this will create clicks rather then do the actual real work of analyzing safety in rocket testing and manufacturing.

> If they double their output of stuff, are you ok with them increasing the number of worker injuries rather than figuring out how to reduce or eliminate the injuries?

You are simply framing the question in a way where there can never be right answer. Of course continuously improving safety is important. At the same time evaluating safety by comparing companies that do 100x more of something and then screaming 'see they are unsafe, is clearly not fair either'.

If they double their output and injury rates go up by 1.1x times, then that is pretty successful.

So before being negative, please actually show me real actual data in how much their output went up compare do their injury rate. Then maybe we can figure out something relevant about their safety practices. Until then this is just headlines.

And lets compare with relevant industries. How does their rocket engine test facility compare with other rocket engine test facilities. The South Texas manufacturing sight should be compared with a shipyard or building an oil platforms, and not with companies building small rocket.
> Besides that: it should be fairly obvious that hobbyists are not going to 'accidentally bypass a safety mechanism', they can cut their brake lines as well and they don't generally do this.

I can already picture the YouTube videos on "how to gain 15% hp" explaining you how to "hack" your car with a 1s "it will severely reduce your engine life expectancy" message at the end. Thousands of people would run this patch without thinking twice

Also how would you pass the controls most countries do every other year on cars ? I don't expect people checking my brake pads to know how to review the random piece of code I deployed to my car
Ah, the good old days when ~20MB was huge. Doom 2016 was ~60GB, and that was 7 years ago.

Conceptually, it all comes down to individuals. In that sense anarchy is the basis for everything.

In practice, people easily exert their coercive influence on each other, to resolve disagreements, incompatible goals and exclusionary ambitions, and without some organized form of decision making and enforcement (government), nobody but a despot actually gets to live a life of real self-sovereignty.
Yeah, shift/control-click is a longstanding workflow for multiselect and macOS, Linux and windows all support it with various platform-specific subtleties. The worst part of the web is losing all these sorts of features because some web designer thinks they’re a “bad UX”
And it's totally fine if it works you, I'm not saying one is better, I'm saying both are valid choices and if you statically export from a framework, it's not that different from what you describe.

> Frameworks force the dev into specific ways of doing things

Not really. Take Next.js, you can also use markdown (or more dynamic flavors of markdown like MDX/markdoc), you can use a headless cms, it doesn't really matter..

If you don't like Next.js you can pick a different solution, there are many! If Pelican is your jam, by all means, it's a great tool.

> I'm curious what you guys need on your sites that require so much JS.

In my day to day I work more on web apps, but lets stick to "simple" websites.
Example: Using Next.js again, out of the box it does instant navigation by preloading new content on hover, and not doing full refreshes when they aren't needed. Great for the user, less bandwidth used, much faster sites. That's just one example.
The way I understood it, this formulation relies on induction on the natural numbers.

That's in fact the viewpoint Lorentz took when he discovered the Lorentz transform and relativity. He showed that you can make an ether (i.e. a preferred reference frame) consistent with the observations by applying Lorentz transforms to the observations of anybody who is in a different reference frame.

Most normal users (aka if you read Hacker News, you're not one of those) don't and won't know about shift and control clicking. A more UX-friendly alternative is to have checkboxes; you can still have shift/control-clicking on top of that (for selecting many things quickly), but it shouldn't be the only option.

Is this mostly datacenter tech or something that might end up in consumer desktops etc? I've certainly never heard of alternative cooling tech beyond aluminum or maybe copper heatsinks so definitely interesting. Makes sense in DCs certainly given large scale cooling costs.
And crypto is often searching for a use case that it can do better than other technologies. Payments for example, have advantages in crypto that the average person doesn't care about. The disadvantages however, can be killers (e.g. refunds for fraudulent transactions on your credit card has no equivalent in crypto).

The other problem with crypto's search for the killer app is that things like NFTs, which make no sense in the world of 'free' information, became ridiculously hyped and gave crypto a bad name.
Anyway, a well organised big project is a collection of related small projects :)

And what's good for one small project is likely to be good for many small projects.
Many things, presumably including this facility?
Yes, that's one of the better known cases. But I've looked at similar stuff under NDA and I'm more than a little bit uncomfortable with some of the stuff that I've seen.

The scariest kind of developer to me are the ones that believe that they and only they are able to create safe software without outside scrutiny of what they produce.

Of course that scrutiny would have exposed emissions cheating software right on day #1.
And so your solution is to scrap public healthcare and make the problem far, far worse. Fucking genius. If something isn't 100% literally perfect in all possible scenarios, we shouldn't do it at all.

VS Code is a mess because there are few places I can click in the UI without triggering some weird part of the UI. Almost the entirety of the bottom bar is reactive. The sidebar has too many views to keep straight, it has an extension store or something? Using VS Code feels like handling a tool with no handle. I'm sure it has something useful but I feel overwhelmed and constrained when I use it. I can't depend on any of my prior UI exposure to effectively navigate VS Code without taking my head out of the code. It's simply too much on screen at once and relies on visual iconography which will NOT result in the same ideas conveyed between different users. VS Code feels like it's meant primarily for the enterprise, on projects that are massive and have extensive SOPs. I tried to adapt some of my development to it, just to try it, and bounced off really hard.

I'm really just more at home in Vim and a terminal window off to the side. Microsoft's way of doing things has never really clicked.

I can't speak for Fusion360 because I don't know what it is nor have I used it. There's just an issue in UIs these days where they're either toy-themed (Twitch, Discord, Etcher, other "friendly" software) or so overwhelming that you don't know where to start.

Where is the QuickStart guide for VS Code, for developers? With MS in particular, they do a poor job of reaching out to developers and actually understanding how they work or what they like. Maybe they only serve a particular type of developer; an audience that I'm simply not part of.
Sure, but 2 is the only even prime, so this is super constrained.
Can anyone recommend a benchmark suite that can profile desktop performance across these old distributions?

I find performance heavily dependent on specific quirks eg puppy Linux running from ram (great), zero optimisation of the woeful gma950 graphics found in old netbooks (deal breaker)
Nice. Especially the fusion.

Some random-ish thoughts from exploring "a laptop keyboard... with hand pose, 3D stylus, and touch". Adding buttons yields a 3D mouse - but camera coverage can be a pain. Note the body is largely empty (and battery could be slimmed) - I could more-or-less type while holding a slim chopstick/toothbrush-like stylus (even with the markers, and a weirdly big tip). A big tip (sliced from a ping-pong ball sized xmas decoration) could slide fairly smoothly on a ThinkPad keyboard (and gave room for a less compact force sensor, and an extra tip marker). Thin stranded silicone ribbon cable can be string-like flexible - I just tethered the stylus to an arduino to get started.

Hmm... I wonder what the inertial sensor might make of something like a dimpled metal clicker, as a button (or three)?
Maybe you don't value history, but many people do. The point isn't entertainment, or the kind of entertainment you're imagining. Of course this won't compete on the streaming market. The point is that it is a time capsule of an age we've already forgotten.

As the author says, this isn't the median of any particular data set, but the limit of the median as the number of points goes to infinity:

> "Obvoiusly" there's no uniform distribution on the natural numbers, so what does it even mean to choose a "random" one? The way the number theorists usually solve this problem is by fixing a large number N and looking at the probabilities when you pick a random number between 1 and N. Then you look at the N → ∞ limit of these probabilities.

And by using the λ₂(p) function, we can find the asymptotic proportion that each prime p appears in the data set: if the set has N items, then approximately λ₂(p)·N of them will be equal to p, and the actual number will asymptotically approach this approximation. Given this, we can look at the set in terms of the proportions of its elements. We have first, P(p < 37) = λ₂(2) + ... + λ₂(31) ≈ 0.49061; second, P(p = 37) = λ₂(37) ≈ 0.00964; and third, P(p > 37) = 1 − P(p < 37) − P(p = 37) ≈ 0.49975.

Thus, if we sort the set with N data points in ascending order, we'll ultimately see 0.00964·N instances of 37, flanked to the left by 0.49061·N values less than 37, and to the right by 0.49975·N values greater than 37. For N odd, the median is defined as the value at the 50% mark in the sorted set, which is clearly 37. For N even, the median is defined as the mean of the two values surrounding the 50% mark; since 0.00964·N → ∞ as N → ∞, there will eventually be at least two instances of 37 around the 50% mark, so the median will once again be 37. Thus, for N even and odd, the median will always end up at 37.

Probably worth mentioning China kept buying the iron ore (it seems out of need), so this isn't about steel. Trade of coal and many other goods were restricted; there is now an anticipation that exports of wine, coal, lobsters, etc will rebound.

Space industry average is an utterly useless and idiotic thing used for comparison.

Most of those companies make tiny sats, or things like small thrusters. Or even small sub-components. And even those that build larger things, build them at far smaller rates.

SpaceX in Brownsville should be compared to things like manufacturing oil platforms or maybe wind power plants.
Right, need to make navigation better and easier.
Funny enough, I was scrolling through an old hard drive of mine about a week ago and on it I found a cli I made in c++ at some point during the first half of the 2000s to solve quadratic equations. I had completely forgotten I ever made it but I bet it cut the time I spent on my math homework drastically. I remember how boring and tedious I used to find them...

Hobby projects on super old / free hardware was/is fun. I remember using dumpster desktops as a student. I could SSH to my home PC from school. Ran a webserver. Even wrote C code to generate HTML for a website to host my photos. Fun times.

All my current desktops are ~8 year old corporate cast-offs.

In my huge sample size of A Few Acquaintances, people seem to be turning to the Marvel TV shows instead.

I did this for Star Wars... I had basically zero interest in the new movies or really anything but the Old Republic setting, but the SW TV shows are pretty engaging. They're so much more grounded than... Whatever was going on in the new movies.
Well, that's sort of the point: this is already possible, so in that sense nothing would change. Changing the mapping (essentially the amount of fuel injected based on a bunch of parameters) is regularly done by 'tuners' (between quotes because they don't really tune anything, they mostly burn more fuel for questionable gains).

But that's really not what I would care about. I'd like to read that code to figure out what the failure modes are and what might impact my safety in a negative way.

Not necessarily irresponsible madmen; just curious.

Because I bet you if I buy a new car and discover that I can access its internal components via an API, I will be toying with it.

On any other platform that would never be a problem: found a bug? Just restart the container!

But with a car, this might mean a bug in my code manifesting itself while I'm driving 120 kph. And maybe there's a pedestrian crossing the road and I can't stop in time because the bug makes the brake 60% weaker.

This time however, there's not a restart docker button.

I'm sure if this happens people would be attacking Ferreri viciously the way they pile up on Tesla whenever a douche sleeps at the wheel going 100 kph, even though the company said before that that's not safe.

For many use cases you described, the primary UX flow should probably not have a date picker at all, but rather the date would be selected implicitly through other user actions: i.e. to add an appointment, you might start with a full-page calendar view and click on the appropriate day; for prices you'll probably have "next day"/"previous day" buttons built into the page.

But those UX flows are orthogonal to the flows that actually do use a date picker, IMO.
Theyre not mobile games, they are pretty old point and click adventure games, with lovely art and humor.

The reverse engineering is interesting because they rolled their own engine and most of the game is written in Lua 5.1.

I also personally find it interesting as the binaries and code in general is tiny, so its a good way to learn.
Somebody please think of the children.

Really, come on: you can do much better than this. The hypothetical kid might be the one that was saved because some random hacker figured out why the latest generation radar based cars keep phantom braking. That argument works both ways, and typically what is fixed stays fixed.

And of course none of these hotshot programmers would ever be seen near the following bit of code[1], which probably impacted a lot of actual children and their health in a very direct way:

// in case of an emissions test ensure that we pass
// with flying colors

if (emissions_test_detected()) {
// we're sooo environmentally conscious
lean_burn();
}
else {
// roll that coal
regular_burn();
}

I remember encountering CRTs burnt in so badly it was hard to read stuff in the worst areas (e.g. the taskbar clock or login prompt) but I haven’t encountered anything remotely close to that with current OLEDs. My iPhone and TV have no signs at all, and the last device I used that had legitimately easy-to-detect burn in was a Nexus One test device that sat on my desk with the screen on all day every day while I built an Android app in 2012.
There are some extraordinarily broad exemptions to overtime requirements. From memory, it basically boiled down to anyone whose job can be described as spending a majority of their time on a computer.

In my last corporate retail job, we had mandatory unpaid overtime. Assistant managers were required to work 44 hours and managers had to do 48, but got paid for 40.

Though those same overtime exemptions had their own counter-exemption if you had less than some number of employees as a manager. Because corporate wouldn't raise starting wages or approve new hires, many stores were below that limit and it was a huge scandal when some of them started demanding overtime pay. By then we were looking at 50 and 60 hour weeks with no overtime pay.
uni marks != quality :-) I agree with you though.

I don't understand what you mean here. What content is being preloaded, what is being hovered on, why do you need only partial page loads? Is this for a doomscrolling UI where units of content are presented one or a few at a time, on an infinite scroll?

When I do navigation I just build a <ul> and put <li>s in it, programmatically if need be. Click to go where you want. Takes a full page load, but that's just how the Web works because you're going to another page. Links take you to other pages.

>React is so widely used it'll be kept on life support long after it has been supplanted by something better, if and when that happens.

React might be 10 years old, but it changed like 5 times during that time.
Something built in first or second version of React is pretty much an entirely different framework at this point. (Would it even build with using the newset toolchains?).
It's almost disingenuous to ignore that fact.

So while it's unlikely that there won't be a thing called "React" in the future, it's not that crazy of an idea.
