I am not affiliated, but as a fan… Smarter Every Day did a walkthrough with an actual Apollo engineer on the rocket and it was absolutely amazing. Definitely worth watching if you want to understand what this engineering program was up against — it’s kind of insane what they were doing with 1960s tech.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1nLHIM2IPRY

Same guy also have one of the bravest talks I’ve seen in a while about the lessons of the Apollo program for Artemis, including some criticisms that I thought were deeply valid. Much to learn about Apollo from this talk as well.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OoJsPvmFixU

Thus very document is the foundation of that talk and I’m sure why this is ending up on hacker news, so credit where credit is due please.
And fly becomes the standard cloud provider like everyone else. I think this transition is only natural. It's hard to be a big business without catering to the needs of larger companies and that is the operation of many services, not individual apps.
The “book” option as a single row seems incomplete. There are cheaper ebook versions, some can be accessed as a subscription - and sometimes for free in a library.
It is mentioned in the doc, but can be easy to mis-understand:

"If a pattern of reads and writes among concurrent serializable transactions would create a situation which could not have occurred for any serial (one-at-a-time) execution of those transactions, one of them will be rolled back with a serialization_failure error."

Note that it says nothing about the non-serializable transactions.

I felt tempted to post these quotes in response to several comments I read there, but posting quotes is a bad way to discuss, and they're really long, so decided to post them as top-level comment, and general food for thought.

> It is true that a computer, for example, can be used for good or evil. It is true that a helicopter can be used as a gunship and it can also be used to rescue people from a mountain pass. And if the question arises of how a specific device is going to be used, in what I call an abstract ideal society, then one might very well say one cannot know.

> But we live in a concrete society, [and] with concrete social and historical circumstances and political realities in this society, it is perfectly obvious that when something like a computer is invented, then it is going to be adopted will be for military purposes. It follows from the concrete realities in which we live, it does not follow from pure logic. But we're not living in an abstract society, we're living in the society in which we in fact live.

> If you look at the enormous fruits of human genius that mankind has developed in the last 50 years, atomic energy and rocketry and flying to the moon and coherent light, and it goes on and on and on -- and then it turns out that every one of these triumphs is used primarily in military terms. So it is not reasonable for a scientist or technologist to insist that he or she does not know -- or cannot know -- how it is going to be used.

> Don't be deceived when they tell you things are better now. Even if there's no poverty to be seen because the poverty's been hidden. Even if you ever got more wages and could afford to buy more of these new and useless goods which industries foist on you and even if it seems to you that you never had so much, that is only the slogan of those who still have much more than you. Don't be taken in when they paternally pat you on the shoulder and say that there's no inequality worth speaking of and no more reason to fight because if you believe them they will be completely in charge in their marble homes and granite banks from which they rob the people of the world under the pretence of bringing them culture. Watch out, for as soon as it pleases them they'll send you out to protect their gold in wars whose weapons, rapidly developed by servile scientists, will become more and more deadly until they can with a flick of the finger tear a million of you to pieces.

This isn't my problem.
Yeah I can't read. :) sorry guys.
I'm troubled by people thinking that shit they find on the internet is "real". But Facebook? As far as I'm aware, people just use it to keep in touch with friends. Nobody has ever sent me a Facebook link implying that it's any kind of source of truth.

It might seem an odd position to take, but I think Facebook is in the process of dying. I've been expecting it for 20 years; after all, MySpace died (although I hear it's ghost still haunts some people).

/me never had a Facebook account.
Maybe it's time to deprecate reposts, altogether. One of reasons real users don't care about image authenticity is because it's de facto "ok" in English web to steal and repost content ad infinitum.

There are a lot of younger generation web users with an entirely misguided belief that seeking approval by ripping, modifying, re-uploading, in the process relabeling content with the user themself as the creator is not only tolerated but encouraged behavior, which is not at all a correct understanding.

Some call this type of criticism "copyright maximalism", as if it's bad. It's good. Copyright is good. It works. It's not going to reduce bandwidth, nor hurt content quality. In fact, some are starting to recognize need to always "put sauce" because it is becoming harder to ease approval craving in today's Web without doing so. Maybe it's time to push it further. Just a bit.
> Cheap to explore: Exploring the web should be pleasant on 1W of power.

Why are we measuring power draw? Yeah your website can be intense enough to draw more power, but this just seems like an odd metric.

Regardless how you'd measure it, a pretty useful metric imho. A nice catch-all encompassing:

Complexity of a website + efficiency of common software implementations + efficiency of common hardware platforms.

Any content that requires a 'beefy' setup on client side to view (or consumes a lot of power doing so), automatically cuts a large chunk of potential audience.
It also said the lawsuit would be filed “in February or March”, but it was never actually filed, so what factual relevance do you think that article really has? Moreover, the DOJ wins less than one in three of these kinds of cases: the US system is an adversarial one where the courts decide so it makes no sense to immediately abandon in the face of DOJ opposition.

What is also true is that the uk finished its phase 1 review (where they decide to send it for further phase 2 review) in June, so 9 months after the deal was announced. Phase 2 leads to changes in about 50% of deals. The phase 2 deadline was late February 2024, about 18 months later.

I don't think any of this is indicative of anyone sitting on their hands or twiddling their thumbs, but it’s clearly a slow process and that uncertainty clearly isn’t good for the parties involved.

Also empathy. The situation is a societal problem, the individuals are not really at fault.
Even when people know that things are ads they are influenced by them. The BS works for the same reason that ads work.

It's like humans experience something (see an ad) and it makes them feel something (ad uses cute dog) and they remember that feeling the next time they see that brand/ad/initial stimuli. Like seeing something triggers a mini-replay in the brain.

What is that ideology? "Government shouldn't be involved unless there's a great reason to do so"?

If you think preventing company towns isn't a great reason to need approval, fair enough, but then why are you saying company towns are bad?
> They have to compete against other businesses to hire skilled positions.

Yes, but because they are a collective when they "purchase" skilled positions they are usually asking for more than one hire. Yes they are competing against other businesses, and the perspective hires are competing against the other hires. By the numbers, there are fewer businesses hiring then there are workers looking for that position. In other words, the businesses have more leverage then the workers in the form of purchasing power. The laws of supply and demand favor the business if there are no unions.

Edit: FYI: supply and demand for labor is equal when unemployment is at 0%.
I like the discussion on scheduling. One of the things I've thought recently is that, since there's no one model of how an app or system should work, nor one network architecture, there shouldn't be one scheduler.

Instead, I think the system components should expose themselves as independent entities, and grant other system components the ability to use them under criteria. With this model, any software which can use the system components' interfaces can request resources and use them, in whatever pattern they decide to.

But this requires a universal interface for each kind of component, loosely coupled. Each component then needs to have networking, logging, metrics, credentials, authn+z, configuration. And there needs to be a method by which users can configure all this & start/stop it. Basically it's a distributed OS.

We need to make a standard for distributed OS components using a loosely coupled interface and all the attributes needed. So, not just a standard for logging, auth, creds, etc, but also a standard for networked storage objects that have all those other attributes.

When all that's done, you could make an app on Fly.io, and then from GCP you could attach to your Fly.io app's storage. Or from Fly.io, send logs to Azure Monitor Logs. As long as it's a standard distributed OS component, you just attach to it and use it, and it'll verify you over the standard auth, etc. Not over the "Fly.io integration API for Log Export", but over the "Distributed OS Logging Standard" protocol.

We've got to get away from these one-off REST APIs and get back to real standards. I know corporations hate standards and love to make their own little one-offs, but it's really holding back technological progress.
I don't have a lot of experience in C or C++ but I wonder if this ever works in practice for a non-trivial codebase? I'd be really surprised if, without diligently committing to maintaining compatibility with the two compilers, it was easy to up sticks and move between them.

Figma's employees are probably devastated and demotivated. Their exit dollar signs just went poof. And they've probably been working on Adobe's roadmap / integration for the past 15 months.

I'm not so sure Figma is in a better spot, even with this new cash in hand.
That's a compliment for them.
Your comments are straight up factually misrepresenting what happened. There were plenty of news reports early this year that DoJ was preparing to file suit against the merger. I guarantee they were in close contact with Adobe's lawyers, and the normal process here is that Adobe's lawyers/execs come back and say "hold up, let's see if we can make a deal" - that's essentially what happens in the vast majority of lawsuits.

Adobe (and Figma) knew full well this deal wasn't a slam dunk from the beginning.
Another book that I enjoyed on the topic - "The Secret of Apollo: Systems Management in American and European Space Programs". This also comes to the same conclusion that it was the systems engineering process that allowed it to succeed.
And I'm not sure that that static tests would have caught the failures plaguing the N1.
Any chance figma can go public?

Yes, but they will probably just sell to number 2 on the buyer list, who may not be much better than Adobe.
yep, good point, I do need to sanitize the email. I do have bot detection and throttling enabled so not super worried about the email flooding. thanks for testing, you deserve a book!
Undoubtedly. The building itself needs to be deconstructed (as we found out later)
Only if they touch the same data. If they are touching disjoint sets of data then there is no overhead to be paid by non-SERIALIZABLE transactions.
Just use bindings isn't always as easy.

It depends on the company, the team skills, the tools they are used to have, the difference when moving into Rust, eg CUDA in C++ with NSight and Visual
Studio plugins from NVidia, versus Rust.
I'll admit when I'm wrong. The DOJ announced back in February that it was "preparing to sue", but appears to have never officially filed that lawsuit. My mistake.

Nonetheless, I think my point still stands in that the FTC and DOJ made how they felt about the deal pretty clear.
I dropped $200 on Dr Malcolm and some others for the Locust God promo. I'm very happy with it all, and now get to build an Egglord deck with Jeff Goldblum's face on it.

And, if you've only experienced a few set releases, price swings will seem weird. Keep in mind that more boxes will be opened for a while, thus making more copies of coveted things available. It's a different story when a set goes out of print.

I'm curious how many commenters here who are making strong statements about the worth (or not) of peer review have actually participated in it both as author AND reviewer? Or even as an editor who is faced with the challenge of integrating and synthesizing multiple reviews into a recommendation?

There are many venues available to share your research or ideas absent formal peer review, arXiv/bioRxiv being among the most popular. If you reject the idea of peer review itself it seems like there are plenty of alternatives.
In the past I was a daily reader and frequent contributor of FT comments, but grew increasingly disaffected with the moderation and indeed whole tone of FT's US coverage after around 2017. Quirky, contrarian voices were increasingly unwelcome, so I ended my subscription.

On your point B: is it surprising to you that favorable views for a controversial public figure from the past known specifically for fighting against russian forces and for being extremely pro-Ukraine went significantly up in a year after Russia invaded Ukraine and forced ukrainians defend against them?

No matter how controversial Bandera’s ties to nazis were, I am almost certain that his recent rise in popularity is motivated primarily by the pro-ukrainian national identity part and not the pro-nazi part. Enemy of my enemy can be a useful ally at the moment, and all.
> How in the world did it take fifteen months for regulators to reject this?

They didn't. They started seriously investigating it less than a month after the announcement and publicly shared this information just over a month later.

> but regulators need to make up their minds quicker

They did. Adobe and Figma were trying to appease regulators by figuring out if there was a way to handle their concerns. They aren't willing to divest themselves enough from their existing portfolio or offer concessions.

If you want them to make up their minds quicker, then the default answer should be No. With weeks not even being an acceptable time frame for action, anything other than No is harmful.

Is it doing fine without those? It seems like every time someone makes a personal or professional project in C/C++, the Rust community floods the comments section and talks about how it's irresponsible to use C/C++ and how the author should just throw away the whole project and re-write it in Rust.

It happens so often it became a meme at this point.

I agree that there are plenty of unhelpful ideas about addiction. I'm not aware of any available sources where I can prove to you "here's her success rate", but again, I found her work directly applicable to my own addiction issues and reformulating some of my preconceived ideas and self-hatred that had been hammered into me from an early age and were actually part of my problem.

"I don't have a choice" is a straw man. "There are a myriad of factors I didn't choose that led to the circumstances of my addiction" is not a realization of helplessness, but an understanding of the systemic factors involved. Understanding this is critical to making the internal mental shifts necessary to actually break the cycle. Factors beyond one's control doesn't imply no choice is available. It just contextualizes the problem, and the resulting understanding can be an escape hatch.

I can't change the circumstances of my birth. I can't undo the childhood filled with complex trauma that left me seeking any kind of relief I could find. But understanding those factors means I can learn how to cope with them in better ways.
That would be a really smart move to keep employees motivated. They're probably extremely upset and anxious about this deal falling through.
My understanding is Masimo as a whole couldn’t get the thing working for whatever reason, so key people left for greener pastures. I think this outrage is misplaced.

I used Fly for some projects, I really like it.

But once again, for many of my projects, I still need my outbound IPs to resolve to a specific country. I can't have them all resolve to Chicago, US in undeterministic ways.

For the lack of better term. ( If anyone could introduce me to one, surely there is a term for it ) If we use the Normal distribution or empirical rule, we would get a top end number of ~83.9%, 97.5%, 99.6% of things are crap depending on your definition of crap.

And if your taste just sit between the 83.9 and 97.5 number. It turns out to be just about 90%.
