In this case, footprint landing pads are extremely simple. I do agree about the solver though, I've run into so many issues with it that should be simple but end up either stalling or conflicting in ways it shouldn't.

There are quite a few! On Android, you can grab the TextTV app (may also be on iOS) and get feeds that are still operating. I used it while in Iceland (RÚV) to correlate some weather data, and Germany seems to have quite a few feeds.

I originally found it when I was trying to start my own micro Teletext service in the US for the fun of it, but the project got set aside to make way for more pressing things (aka life). I really should get back to it...

Yes, if you follow the advice of "not exposing anything unless you deployed the security for it" of course you block password auth before exposing SSH to the internet.

Not everyone is following that advice. Just last week I taught a friend about using tmux for long-running sessions on their lab's GPU server, and during the conversation it transpired that everyone was always sshing in using the root password. Of course plugging that hole will require everyone from the CTO downward to learn about SSH keys and start using them, so I doubt anything will change without a serious incident.
This research seems predominantly focused on explaining the actual mechanism by which RTSC can be achieved, and a demonstration of it. Understanding the "why" is the best part, as it allows us to begin intentionally designing ways to force these wrinkle impurities onto not only this material, but others.

Compared to modern chip manufacturing processes, cleaving and stacking pyrolitic graphite in a controlled way seems quite doable. I'd like to be optimistic, at least!

That's the thing though; I have only passing familiarity with many of the concepts you listed. In order to evaluate someone on them, I would have to learn enough to differentiate a real expert from a talented bullshitter, and I'm frankly not confident in my ability to do so in the time I have available.

We've tried working with several marketing firms specializing in ppc, and after a couple of failures have found one that's getting decent results. They understand our business and can write reasonable ad copy. And the traffic driven by the ads is at a CPA that works for us, and has meets the KPIs I'm interested in on-site, in terms of conversions, time on site, retention, etc. However, I have no idea whether it's possible to do considerably better than they are. And as I mentioned initially, I feel the amount spent might be better put toward an in-house employee, who could devote greater effort than I assume the agency does, as well as performing non-ppc marketing tasks. But beyond just trying people who seem good until I find one who gets results, I'm not sure how to find that person. Maybe that's exactly what I should do.

When the conference LeadDev happens in London, they often have Nickolas Means give a talk about an aeronautic topic. It’s usually 45 minutes of nail-biting in-depth analysis of a very complicated problem, and ends with a 5 minute rotation to how the lessons from that incident apply to engineering management in general. (You also feel like you could engineer an airplane, but no you can’t: that’s just Nickolas’ talent for explanation that is fooling you. Airplanes are very hard to make.)

This is all done in such a smart, seamless, obvious way to deliver a lesson that would make the Brothers Grimm feel cheated.

Strongly recommend.

That's because modern digital standards (DVB-T/DVB-C/DVB-S/DVB-S2) actually added a way to encapsulate teletext data in the MPEG-2 TS stream inbetween usual MPEG2/H.264 and MP2/AC3/AAC audio tracks. Quite fascinating really.

Maxwell didn't have the nice differential geometric notations that we use today, which allow us to write his equations in a very concise and easy to understand form. His original paper is way more convoluted, so at the time it must have been really difficult to understand for everyone except the subject matter experts. And he was of course building on the work of Faraday, Ampere and others.

But like with other theories, people find ways to simplify the notation and formalism and explain it better. Quantum mechanics, special and general relativity are similar in that regard.

> why would anyone undertake such revealing and labour-intensive deceptions?

It’s totally about personal satisfaction. We need to “scratch an itch.” The thrill we get from “getting away with it,” is also a big part of the equation.

Many stories are embellished, along the way, by people involved in the oral tradition. Some, become almost unrecognizable, after a few generations. These folks often do it, to “add spice,” for entertainment value.

I’ve come to learn that most folks that “front,” are often doing so, in order to personally feel better; not harm others. It’s not healthy, but often, doesn’t result in much harm to anyone else. I’ve learned to relax, when I encounter it, and sometimes, even enjoy it.

Very many folks have terrible self-esteem, and develop coping mechanisms, which can sometimes be quite destructive, but, more often, are just energy sinks.

I have learned to be cautious, though, and not take things at face value, which can be difficult, if I don’t want to become a bitter cynic.

Keeping businesses afloat during war is usually done by the government via side contracts to keep the workforce busy and the military industrial complex running.

Have you thought about relocating somewhere else in Europe?
And if you like this sort of thing, you might also enjoy the various people that do reconstructions on YouTube - the real audio played over animations/flight sim of what the planes are doing. The most interesting/lively ones are those with a 'possible pilot deviation' or 'number to call' IMO if you want a search term to narrow them down.

I'm not a pilot or planespotter or particularly interested in planes generally, I've just fallen down that rabbit hole a couple of times for some reason, can be quite interesting. It has made me wish the in-flight entertainment included a 'listen to pilot/tower comms' option.
The statement was

"most electrical equipment and the human body are not build to function in a continous (as in always present) electromagnetic field"

That's a false statement.

The implication behind your statement is that the magnetic field from a power line is significantly more than the field from the earth.

Earths field strength is 25 to 65 μT [0]

A 400kV line according to this [1] says the maximum field is 4uT, maybe upto 6 for some tower designs. That's an order of magnitude less than the Earth's strength, although it is well above the typical daily variations.

Can you give an example of something that really needs to be adjusted on the touchscreen while driving that cannot be adjusted using the buttons on the steering wheel on the Model 3? I never ever need to do this.

Additionally the lane keeping and adaptive cruise control on the highway are rock solid, so even if you would look briefly - for example at the navigation system, just like in any other car - not much can happen.

Regarding looking away - in Europe we are taught in driving school to look over our left shoulder when changing lanes. So we take the eyes of the road ahead FAR longer than a brief peak at a touchscreen. Yet this is deemed to be acceptable and safer even in a car that does not keep the lane and does not automatically break if there is an obstacle in front.

Both are problems to solve, architecture is as much of a problem as data.

There is indeed a logic to it, and I'm currently working on an edutainment game meant to focus on drilling this part in particular.

Finnish has 15 noun cases, but it's probably better thought of as 4+6+5 cases. The first 4 are pretty straightforward, except for the partitive, which is kind of a catch-all case. The middle 6 correspond to certain spatial relationships. Very roughly you can imagine these as {inside, outside} × {unmoving, moving closer, moving further}. Huone = room, huoneessa = in room, huoneen = into (=moving closer to the inside of) room. That kind of stuff. The last 5 have niche, special uses. That's how I mentally imagine them at least, there are a lot of details you only pick up by reading a lot.

The trade-off is that Finnish has virtually no prepositions, which English has a lot of, and which are similarly very confusing for beginners and even intermediate English speakers. There are a few post-positions, but even these are mostly things you can pick up by ear.

Verbs have a similar story. If you've ever learned Latin, Russian or Spanish you'll feel right at home with Finnish verbs, which pack a lot of info into the conjugation, but with the benefit of requiring fewer actual words per sentence.
I don't think it should be higher at all, I'm pointing out that it is higher, but only for the lower paid.

Rails, to me as someone who loves Ruby and use it for "everything" (including my editor, terminal, window manager), is a poster-child for poorly written Ruby.

It creates code bases that seems to have a tendency to turn into sprawling messes. I appreciate that it has driven a lot of people to Ruby, and in that way it's an amazing and impressive success, but recruiters get it somewhat right for the wrong reason when they sometimes list Rails as a "language".

I'm very happy to use "magic" in Ruby, but it should be high-impact, low code, and contained. E.g. I'm very comfortable with the "magic" in my window manager that turns event classes received from the X11 binding into method call on a target class, so that MotionNotify turns into target.on_motion_notify(event) without me having to specify every event class. It's simple, small, and let me cut a lot of code.

A lot of non-Rubyists would hate it, though.

The irony, though, about your complaint is that Rails code is some of the most verbose Ruby code you'll find, because it's geared at making cookie cutter creation of sites easy, and so a lot of patterns involve an excessive separation into vast amounts of low-impact, verbose classes that do way too little (the obsession with some Rails devs of writing "service classes" for things that should just have been a single method, for example, drives me crazy - yes there are valid uses of service classes, no almost no uses of them in Rails apps are reasonable)

I thought I am up to speed with modern CSS but I did know about scroll-behavior: smooth but did not know about scroll-margin-top at all. I use self written JS solution to work around headings stick below my fixed navbar this that I can get rid of now. That is awesome.

I generally, even without navbars think the scroll to position should have the headings a bit more down towards the middle of the page not the exact top, never liked that behavior. Glad there is a thing for that now, makes so much sense.

My search engine mixes data in MySQL, SQLite-databases and the Parquet-format. The needs and sizes of these data stores are so disparate there's not really one store that suits them all. I don't need concurrent write safety for for crawl data, for example, and enforcing that would make the crawler slower.

This basically lets me access all this data for ad-hoc data munging. I don't think DuckDB will replace these things, so much as help me integrate them for OLAP-style queries.

Exactly. When we have an incident, I want us to be very clear about who did what, what they were thinking that led them to that course of action, and the other facts about the incident. Knowing which individual took which action and when is very, very different from holding an individual responsible (in terms of suffering repercussions) from it. If team members trust they won't suffer from it, you get much clearer data, often without even asking for it.

Related, I recommend that teams subject to SOX-404 controls consider adopting a variant of FAR 91.3*. Our SOX docs explicitly permit our incident managers (and two additional high-level tech employee roles) to authorize any action they deem justified during a production emergency.

This very specifically works for Accidents - events nobody actually wanted to happen, where we can learn from experience and prevent it happening again.

It specifically won't work for things which were not accidents at all, where blame remains a useful tool.

There's some nuance, the Captain of the Titanic didn't intend to sink the ship and kill loads of people, in that sense it was an accident - but he also didn't need to head into an ice field at full speed. Various UK politicians didn't set out to drive postmasters to suicide, but they did give political cover to business people they must have suspected weren't being truthful.
I also tried the demo and I find it pretty much useless at most things even comparing it to a small 7b transformer model like mistral.

From my albeit quick tests, what I found is that it knows clearly less things than mistral, it hallucinates much more, it does not follow instructions, has less reasoning capabilities and asking it to translate a Japanese text into English gave me a bad translated summary instead of the full translation.

I don't see how this is soaring past transformers when clearly it's unable to do any of the useful tasks you can use a transformer model for today...
Ask HN: Best way to push locally developed WordPress site to your hosting?
Hi, I am a semi-technical WordPress user. I have developed a site locally using LocalWP. Now I want to push my site to my shared hosting. What is the simplest way to do this?

After searching, I found that you upload the database and wp-content folder to your hosting. And then change the URLs in your WordPress database to your current site. That should do the trick.

Do I have to do it manually find and change it?

Also another question I have is that, is there any way I can sync my live site and local site with any services or WordPress plugin?

Thanks a lot.

IMO this encourages bad behaviour, and should be banned. Its only apparent application seems to be startling pedestrians, potentially dangerously (obviously a horn would do this too, but the bad behaviour is more likely if it is made funnier to the sort of gormless idiots who indulge in this).
When a single-CPU system performs multi-tasking, switching between tasks is known as 'context switching' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Context_switch and it comes with a time cost.

For example, the old process has its data in the CPU's fastest on-die cache, the new one doesn't - so it's initially slower. And the same thing can happen when switching back.

For the lowest latency applications, there's also competition from "just dedicate a core to it full time" and "offload it to a dedicated microcontroller" lowering the demand to get it merged.

There was no technology involved, only observation.

Did the Greeks believe their myths that literally? It is very hard to know how ancient people's interpreted stories like that unless you have an in-depth knowledge of the culture. I do not, but its a question worth asking - particularly about a culture that produced so many naturalistic explanations for things.

Even if you are right and they did believe it literally it is still the opposite of the simulation theory. It is accepting the first explanation that comes along, without applying doubt, whereas simulation theory is based on extensive doubt of even your immediate senses - exactly the same as Descarte's line of thought.
Funny. I remember from school this being a mere curiosity and definitely not part of any the curriculum or book, although a couple teachers were awfully pedantic about it and wanted us to memorize some of those, while at the same time decrying its lack of usage, correlating with "kids these days" caring only about trendy lingo.
