I've been waiting for the day that HN would have something tangentially related to the English and Welsh canal system so I could gush about it. For those that don't know, we have around 2500 miles of (mostly) navigable canals around the UK. They were built during the industrial revolution prior to the invention of trains such that we could transport coal and other goods relatively quickly and without damage (consider trying to transport pottery, for instance, on the perilous roads of the late 1700s. If the bumpy roads didn't destroy your wares, the highwaymen might).

These days, obviously, all that has passed and instead we have a community of almost entirely leasure boaters - some choosing to own narrowboats [1] purely for pleasure, but a significant amount of us choose to live on them. Some based in marinas but quite a few of us (myself included) preferring a much more nomadic lifestyle - being obliged by law to move every 14 days at a maximum to new areas and consequentially experiencing the richness and beauty of what is, in my mind, a living museum - a testament to our past.

Life aboard a narrowboat is cozy. You never have much space but I don't find myself lacking. It gets cold in winter, but most of us have multifuel stoves which we stuff with coal and (often foraged) wood. Right now I'm sat listening to the wind and rain lashing against the boat (it's almost 4am so I should really get to bed), the boat gently rocking from the weather. And I can honestly say that there is nothing half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.

It will be incredibly interesting to see if Apple really are working on new manufacturing techniques.
probably the banal explanation is that they have two record systems (one official, one where the real notes are) and things get lost in translation between the two. The seal gets fixed, but the bolts reinstall work order doesn't get tracked.

CMES – Common Manufacturing Execution System
SAT – Situation Action Tracker

Spirit employees cannot get write access to CMES, by process.
Going back to P poor quality of fuselage deliveries in 2018 Spirit teams have been onsite in Renton & Moses Lake.

It was common that Spirit could be doing out of sequence work all the way after factory rollout.

Frequently Boeing Senior Managers demanded CMES access for Spirit teams, but it can’t be allowed. Access to SAT is fine because it is not a production system.

When Wichita was part of Boeing system access was not an issue.
The only way to integrate Spirit SAT entries & info into CMES is manually, and that is tedious and error prone. Information escapes are unavoidable when 2 companies are working in multiple systems of “record”.

I’ve also been following development of the Simula One[0], but it will be really hard to compete with Apple’s design and technical execution, and I’m afraid it could stay in the same category as Linux Desktop.

In this light, having a company as Valve put their weight and resources behind the importance of more open ecosystems, would be amazing.

These laws are what dictates whether some construction project and its uses are allowed or not under the decisions made by the city's elected government. Thus, while these types of laws and municipal administrative details often have their many flaws and sources of corruption, they're at least the most plausible metric of local democracy at work. They're in any case much more valid than the dislike of some distant group of critics with no place in local politicas and demographics.

I added a set of arroyos in New Mexico using USGS quadrangle sheets, which originate from digital elevation models and ground surveys in the 1980s. They're tagged as "intermittent streams" in OSM. There's a lot more work to do outside the national forests and major cities. One thing I noticed is that the dry beds shape road and settlement patterns, beyond just being useful for navigation.

NM is undermapped relative to other states. I've wondered if this has to do with the complex governance and land claims (which can make it difficult to do bulk data imports).
Science only involves falsifiable theories != science doesn't involve first gathering data. It means that unfalsifiable theories aren't science.
1 in a million random chance is a simpler assumption, if there was some sort of coordinated 'working in the canopy overhead' to mess with the mapping of small rural roads and farmers... that would require a very elaborate set of circumstances.

I've taken the word from the comment I responded to. It appears to refer to the part of the process that is responsible for determining what a line of code written by the programmer is supposed to do.

The particular task of resolving references isn't necessarily handled by anything you mentioned - it is the job of the parser to determine that a reference is being made, but not whether that reference goes anywhere. Similarly, this information is not included in the abstract syntax tree, which is fundamentally the same thing as the parser. It's perfectly possible to form a syntax tree that calls for the invocation of a function that doesn't exist, or assignment to a variable that doesn't exist.

In C writing an invocation of a function that doesn't exist will give you a compiler error, but in Python it won't; you'll get working code that trusts that whenever it happens to be invoked, the function will exist. And if, at invocation time, it doesn't, you'll get a runtime error instead.

Since this is the problem being addressed by the "interpreter", it appears to be the case that the interpreter in C exists at a different point of the compilation-execution pipeline than the interpreter in Python. The logical steps of determining what a program does need not coincide with the physical steps that are taken to convert the program into an executable artifact - or more fastidiously, they don't need to occur in the same order from program to program, and might be bundled with different other steps.

But what I've claimed is that the import facility, whatever it might be, is responsible for making changes to the state of the interpreter, wherever the interpreter might be active. It makes the difference between "the programmer has specified doing something meaningless" and "the programmer has specified doing something meaningful", and the meaning that it provides gets loaded into the state of the interpreter. It is not strictly necessary that this occur at the top level of the program, the global scope, but it is almost always the case because that is the scope where programmers almost always want imported code to be available to them.

> In C, if I include "a.h" and then "b.h", "b.h" will have access to definitions from "a.h", even though lexically they were never brought into scope in that file.

This actually appears to be the opposite of the normal concern with lexical scope. Lexical scope allows names defined at a higher scope to be accessed from a lower scope, but that's precisely what you're trying to prevent here.

It's worth noting that b.c is compiled without any knowledge of a.h or a.c (assuming it doesn't itself #include a.h, which would make the problem you mention something intentional instead of a pitfall). "libb" doesn't suffer any problems from being #included after "liba". The problem occurs in your code, where you have access to definitions from both header files, which is what you wanted when you #included both of them.

Exactly, and if you look at a hydrological map of cenote locations in the Yucatan Penninsula, a very obvious, concentrated majority of them align very closely with the ancient buried crater's curvature. It's fascinating, and especially when you consider that of the millions of tourists and locals who visit the cenotes annualy, very few realize what the scope and ferociously violent origins are of the lovely little "scattered" blue pools they play in..

They have obstacles to overcome, but those obstacles are mostly imposed on them by the wider culture, as I've come to understand it. Having spent 4 years learning ASL and being close friends with a lot of deaf people now, I'm starting to conclude that ASL and especially technology makes it clear it doesn't have to be a disability at all, at least for people who were born deaf. Losing a sense is still quite a disability.
"Human workers at companies like Appen often handle many of the more distasteful parts of training AI and are often the lower-paid, often ignored backbone of the entire industry.

I address this in my comment though. CO2 is fungible, it does not matter what is producing CO2, all that matters is the net CO2 produced. If it takes 5000 units of solar power to produce 100 units of fuel for airplanes, it is completely stupid to do that when just not making the airplane fuel lets you take 5000 units of coal power production offline with no additional steps.

Saying it another way: If you use the 5000 units of solar or wind power to make jet fuel, that is 5000 units of solar or wind power you can't use to shut down 5000 units of coal power.

Let me break it down for you:

Use solar to make jet fuel:
5000 units of net CO2 from coal plant to make electricity.
0 units of net CO2 from synthetic jet fuel.

Use solar to make electricity:
0 units of net CO2 from coal plant that isn't necessary because solar instead.
+100 units of net CO2 from regular jet fuel.

Curious why you are considering dropping the statin? Are you having side effects, e.g., muscle soreness, or is ezetimibe alone enough to push your ApoB below 60 mg/dL?
that's not entirely accurate. quicktime has been extended after MP4 container was standardized. so, the MP4 container was based on the version of QT at the time. For example, the color atom was added after that to help players with knowing how to interpret SD/HD colors. They've deprecated using the CLASP and other older features as well. So QT isn't just a locked format living along as MP4.

Some apps like MediaInfo will report an MOV with prores and pcm audio as MP4 though, so some people still seem confused.

Stole their toys? The west, lured in by cheap manufacturing and labor, handed its precious IP over to them on a silver platter and got so greedy it deindustrialized itself. Must have thought they were the world's bosses or something. Meanwhile China got rich, industrialized and militarized. The west has only itself to blame.

Nah. If we'd seen more Max deaths you'd be right, but the hundreds of thousands dead from the opioid crisis or the millions of lives destroyed from the war in drugs due to marijuana being on schedule one shows the FDA is beholden to the pharma and prison industries. Not trustworthy.
Anything serious or has actual customers should use established technologies imo.

Who cares if it’s not the latest some hipster is pushing on Twitter? Most of the time these people aren’t even serious (in what they’re doing).

Focus on solving your customers problems.

For hobbies it’s free for all. Do whatever you like. It’s fine to be emotionally tied to some library or obscure thing. It’s for fun after all.

For anything serious, it’s good to be serious.

Maybe the trendiest thing will become that some day but don’t tank your own business in the process. Remember that Meta invested heavily in react not for fun but because they are a serious multi billion dollar business (key word).

Because they didn't. According to layoffs.fyi Ebay laid off 200-500 people last year as well.

But even if Ebay did go on a hiring kick, is it true that all of those employees had to be laid off? None of them could be retrained?

Why is it that so many companies seems to regularly make the *same* mistake of over-hiring and then "needing" to downsize?

And if Ebay did a layoff last year why not lay off these people a year ago? Did they miscalculate last year? Was this layoff planned more than a year out? What changed in a year that makes Ebays calculations more accurate now?

Every single one of the 6 desktop-class devices that I've used over the past decade have had multiple issues running Linux, some of which I was never able to resolve. This soundly refutes your point, because it's not enough for Linux to run well on one computer - it has to run well on most of them.

I've been thinking about aphantasia a lot, because I regularly GM (game master) tabletop roleplaying games. I often tell players at my table to start with a mental image and then I'll help them use the rules to construct whatever makes narrative sense. "Let your vision guide the rules, don't let the rules constrain what you think your character can and can't do." I've tried to figure out what it would mean for my GMing style if I ever had a player with aphantasia.

One thing which I think is often ignored when this topic is discussed is that even for people with vivid mental imagery, many cognitive processes still take place without relying on that faculty. I can remember my birthday without visualizing a calendar; when I want to remember my birthday, the numbers just pop into my mind seemingly from nowhere.

Based on the research in this paper, I could see a few ways to make a ttrpg work for aphantasics: allow time for them to do a quick sketch to figure out what they want, rather than (or in addition to) suggesting mental imagery; avoid metaphors and similes and instead focus on what would be observable facts in a scene; and be prepared to offer more artwork and diagrams from my side to get across my points, instead of relying purely on theatre-of-the-mind.
The theory goes that the regulation organization has no reason to run at its best performance. Because it's necessarily a monopoly (works best when it's the government itself), and because there's a lot of pressure into its continued survival. So, as a rule, the work of regulators aren't optimized at all.

Of course, the real world is much noisier than that. But the most that free market advocates can claim is that regulators are inefficient, never that regulations are. Unless they are talking about some specific regulation.

Generally if it's possible that a complete failure of process happens, designers will plan for that. Anything outside of fully automated assembly processes with interlocks and safety checks warrant that to a decent designer. You cite cost of redesign but we're talking design in the first place. What's on the table in this discussion is design, not response to failures.
>Every time I see these kinds of achievements from the Chinese, I am vindicated when I tell the Chinamageddon hysterics to stop wasting my damn time and go get bent[1].

So you've decided to completely ignore their birth rate numbers? Because "achievements like these" will mean absolutely nothing for their capitalist economy when their population shrinks to 25% of current numbers. And that's ignoring the whole fact that the second they stop being a cheap source of labor, the west will look elsewhere (which they've already started to do).

You can't "centrally plan" your way out of young people not wanting to reproduce.

>makes the parent feel lonely

You misunderstood. It says some of them celebrate that their child will have the opportunity to be a part of their community and culture. From what they've experienced, they can see it'd be a profound shame if their child isn't able to participate in something they've had so much positive experience from. Though that's not universally true. Also a child growing up hearing with deaf parents will have a whole set of problems that they would find challenging to meet, and could fear not being able to help.

On top of that, cochlear implants are not miracle devices, and as I understand it, deaf children who get it will still have significant hearing and speech issues and may end up isolated from both sides.

As a thought experiment, I was wondering how to store something in a box/envelope, and know if someone else has looked at it.

My conclusion was to search for "holographic tamper" on AliExpress, and carefully examine the photos to find models where each sticker has a number and a differently-aligned background pattern. Prices are around $5 for 250.

Then you could use several stickers to seal whatever container, and take photos to record each sticker and its pattern. There are ways to exploit this system, but it probably helps against a non-sophisticated attacker.
