So they actually have attempted machines that do this with more conventional power sources that heat/microwave the in place bitumen.

Unfortunately from everything I've seen it doesn't work well because the aggregate mix becomes from the bitumen mix without mechanical mixing and the surface of the material is weaker and gets bumps faster.

When they repave a road they rip up the old material and take it to the mixing plant where it's remixed in with new material, no nuclear reactor needed.
Because avocado farmers don't want to set up a retail store selling exclusively avocados in each and every little town, they want to sell them in bulk to grocery store chains.

Manufacturer-to-consumer sales make the most sense for big ticket items and things that can be easily sold over the internet. Retail stores can make more sense for perishable goods and things you might want to inspect before purchasing and convenience purchases and things with a high ratio of shipping cost to price etc.

I’m using Pure Maps and OSM And perfectly well.

The only downside is that, on some maps, the grey-water is the same as the grey-road and it happened a few times that I thought a canal was a road when doing bike trip.

Google Maps is working but sometimes loosing the position, probably due to the fact there are no Google services on the smartphone. So Google Maps is very unreliable. It may loose positioning in the middle of a trip (suddenly, position is not updated anymore).

Well, really good to degooglize yourself ;-)

Never tried Spotify nor Waze nor Telegram.

Whatsapp was working if I remember well but I’ve deleted my account year ago. Signal is working fine except for notifications which are sometimes held until you launch the app. This doesn’t happen all the time, I suspect the aggressive battery "freezer".

For me, it is a feature as I’m disturbed less (the phone is in silence mode most of the time anyway). If I expect a message, I simply open Signal before locking the screen.

Note: there’s a way to forbid freezing for specific applications if needed. I just didn’t wanted to do it.

Using signal has not been always easy. See : https://ploum.net/2023-03-09-losing-signal.html

While you seem to be getting downvoted a lot, I think it's not unlikely. If Boeing appears to be in serious trouble financially (and I think it does), then you will see the gov't try to rescue them somehow. How many people would be willing to take over Boeing at this point? Of those, how many have experience at getting gov't contracts and running a company in the aero/space industry? It's a short list.

If it's not Elon, it will probably be Airbus, and there is a chance that the US feds will want someone more America-based instead.

We have indeed started with the schematic/requirements half of the problem. My experience in industry is there can be much more direct reuse/configuration in schematic as many boards might have similar features. Layout is typically quite bespoke as it will have mechanical constraints.

That said, we are absolutely looking to take on the layout section in the near future. We are starting with some augmentations of kicad, for example we just released a layout reuse feature, where component layouts can be captured and shared along with the ato code.

I think with few exceptions defining explicit layout choices in our language will be painful and not the right path (perhaps connector positions would be an exception). We have not put a huge amount of energy into this yet, but from some initial playing around, we believe capturing all the information that a person would use to judge a quality layout will be crucial. For example, current tools do not have concepts of current/voltage and definitely not transient behavior.

To get to actually good auto-layout that doesnt suck is going to be a slog for sure.

Thanks!

Maybe we could ban exclusive licensing. Why should Netflix be able to pay $$$ for a show and block other services from buying access? Instead pass a law that if Netflix buys for X then any other service can also license for X.

There will definitely be some difficulties (Netflix estimated 4M views but you are expected to bring in 6M views so clearly you need to pay $$$$$, or you are only going to bring in 2M views but you still need to pay $$$) but I think they can be overcome.

I'm currently looking for either full-time or part-time. I've worked at a variety of different sized companies, and with a variety of different languages and frameworks, though I have been mostly focused on JavaScript recently.

I was one of the top contributors at my last job, github reported that I contributed over 1 million lines of code (though I know lines of code isn't a great measure). I work hard to meet deadlines.

Happy to learn new tech if you think it might be a good fit.

I have no love of public school system in the US.

In high income areas, the public schools aggressively raise a lot of funds and then spend it all on technology — there are zero textbooks, not even online ones. Without being racist, the data shows they have very high standardized test scores thanks to the local demographics, not their teaching methods. They also spend way too much time on tests and “test prep” , so the students only have to learn the exact things that are on test, not what was taught. With multiple tests per week, “teaching” time is only a fraction of the instructional hours.

That said, for profit education scares me even more. It feels like the only goal is to grab vouchers.

A nonprofit not run by religious lunatics could have some promise. (Not a fake nonprofit whose goal is to feed revenue to a for-profit).

Spotify's Android app had a nasty bug that would delete everything you'd downloaded to an external SD card on reboot. Worse than that, it would then automatically start downloading all that same content to the internal storage, without any regard as to how much free space there was there. If not noticed it would fill it all up and then crash.

Took them like 6 months to fix that.

Because we can't trust our Operating Systems to do their jobs (they're structurally incapable of doing so), we have to trust every bit of code we run instead. GitHub is where a lot of code that gets executed is exchanged, therefor we have to beef up the security on GitHub. Thus, GitHub requires 2FA
I haven't been seeing electric vehicles weighing 500kg more. Closer to 500lbs more. Offset by the drivetrain.

Increasing vehicle weight by about 15% would be 75% more damage per passenger vehicle. Which is not nothing, but for comparison, those 5000 pound trucks are doing almost 8 times as much road damage as a midsized sedan by weighing 2/3 more.

But let's say you're right and the sedans weigh 30% more instead of 15% more, then it's about 2.8x the damage of an ICE. Trucks are still doing more damage than 3 battery electric vehicles.

Honestly the weight of these things needs to come down over time. But you need infrastructure to do that. Lighter batteries don't just materialize out of thin air. Getting battery weight down increases range. Which can either make a car with better range, or let you shrink the battery another 5%.
Fraction of new registrations in January; as a fraction of the fleet it was 25% in 2022 [1]. (It’s about 1% in America [2].)

I’m curious to see at what point the cost of operating an ICE vehicle accelerates upwards, as the economies of scale which support fuelling and maintaining them fails.

Your proposal seems like an unnecessary half measure to me. If you want to go fully ergonomic, you can expose:

pub unsafe fn qsort<E, C: FnMut(&E, &E) -> core::cmp::Ordering>(elements: &mut [E], mut comp: C)

In rust as currently stands: https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&editio...

On the other hand, both this wrapper and yours are counterproductive if the element size is dynamic (e.g. perhaps you're dealing with some nonsense like:)

struct ITableColumn {
virtual ~ITableColumn() {}
virtual void* base() = 0;
virtual size_t stride() const = 0;
virtual int (*)(void*, void*) get_comparison_func() const = 0;
};

I agree with Git being overcomplicated, and the commands being a semantic mess, although they have improved somewhat over the years. I also didn't like how Github became some defacto self promotion thing. However, very few developers now don't use github to some degree in my experience (UK), bearing in mind so many new developers are/were being created each year compared to the past the more seasoned developers are becoming a vastly diminishing percentage.

Yeah the side by side thing makes sense. Especially for very low level or analog designs. But in some cases it wouldn't be desirable to show the whole circuit. Say you are dealing with a module that has been characterized and that you know works. In this case, using a language server or a linter that shows you available interfaces might be easier to use.

For the spice graphs, having a jupyter notebook-like interface would be great to document why your design looks the way it does.

I think you're drastically underestimating the purpose and management of UUIDs in large scale systems.

If you're building for a single application or data type, sure do your thing, have at it. If you're trying to coordinate UUID spaces and generation across thousands of different applications and data types, like large data pipelines, then this matters a lot.

Also, having native database support (like indexing, filtering, etc.) improves efficiency for these types of workloads.
That first link is hearsay.

That second link is not evidence that they planted it. It's evidence of them using illegal means to discover it. These are not the same thing. Faking probable cause to search your car is not evidence that they planted drugs.

Same as being exonerated for a wrongful conviction. It doesn't mean you didn't actually commit the crime and should let a wrongfully-convicted pedophile manage your daycare center. You really need to dig deeper than the headline to know what was wrongful about the conviction-- the actual offender later being caught is not the same as a procedural error by the prosecutor.

Given that possession isn't the only charge for Schulte, it wasn't planted. None of this was even necessary to make the case; they could easily have dropped these charges.

IMO that's an overly reductive take, which is very common for tools in this space, but (I think) needs to be addressed so people stop repeating it.

It reduces what "most orgs" are (as if 80% of businesses are the same, or solve the same problems, or have the same challenges, or use the same approaches, or have the same customers, have the same staff or expertise, budgets, timelines, etc, etc, etc.). Clearly there is no such thing as "most orgs", as there are many different kinds of businesses and how they approach solving problems varies from business to business. Their use of technology to solve problems also can't be easily reduced; the way the business chooses to solve problems doesn't necessarily dictate what technology they should use.

It correlates the need for complexity with whether an organization is in some 20% minority of organizations, as if only a minority of orgs should or shouldn't use a complex tool.

It reduces a given tool down to "complex or not", as if complexity is the only consideration of whether to use a tool or not. There may be many different reasons to use a tool regardless of whether it's complex.

It assumes that a given tool has some inherent complexity that isn't comparable to other tools. Other tools might have less inherent complexity, but their lack of complexity may then create new problems that have to be solved, which just moves the complexity from the tool to a bunch of other places.

Overall, it correlates the way you solve problems, with how complex a tool is, with whether your organization is of one of two large generic groups. This is such a sweeping conclusion that it would be impossible to prove or demonstrate.

Based on your comment about them "using Fargate" instead, I'm assuming what you're actually saying is you think people should be using a managed product which uses containerization [and possibly k8s], rather than managing a complex technology themselves. I agree. But that doesn't mean we can generalize about who should be using what and when.
Battery life was about a week and is now about 3 days but it really depends on which apps you want to "freeze" and which apps you never want to "freeze" (to receive notifications).

There’s also a "super saving mode" which allows only 6 apps, no notifications. I use it during long bikepacking trips, recharging every other day when stoping for lunch in a restaurant. It is great. Also, I leave the "super saving mode" if I need to use another app.

So it is perfectly possible to get very long battery time but you need to really configure it and figure out how to use it.

I’ve lost a lot a battery time by disabling freeze for Adguard VPN. In day to day use, I prefer to use more battery and send less data to China (the stuff is full of spyware). Even with that, I charge it every three days but I don’t use it much (which is the goal)
Ah, well I am not really certain that it was such a big deal to need to download a separate program, especially at the time, especially in Argentina ?

Popcorn Time seems to have (already?) been based on browser techniques : JavaScript & NodeJS ? (Or is that only for today's version ?)

Also, I'm not exactly impressed because PeerTube has used WebTorrent for quite some years now (before recently abandoning it for something even better ?).

But yeah, you shouldn't expect that website to last long - but then this kind of game of whack a mole has been played by PirateBay-likes and illegal streaming sites for years now.

Exactly, even if my router says "ipv6 firewall enabled," I still can't trust that they did it right. I would rather go full NAT (which on most routers equals disabling IPv6) than have to pen-test my router.
It isn't possible without a magic reactionless drive; it might even require a zero-energy drive since the kinetic energy is huge and needs to come from somewhere.

The rocket equation kills you. A reasonable fusion rocket would require an enormous (like an entire planet worth) to continuously accelerate to relativistic speeds. Antimatter drives are the only option and still require large amounts of reaction mass since have to absorb the energy to throw it out the back, or use a laser.
> people understate the day-to-day flexibility and overstate the month-to-month flexibility

I completely agree! Somehow every day feels like you are free to do what you want, even take it off, but in the long-term it feels like you never really have free time at all, because your mind is always thinking about the business or feeling guilty for the time off, which could be spent to further improve the product.
Hopefully they did the job right. My hometown had old brick streets downtown that behaved similarly to your description. The city paved over them with asphalt but did a poor job on the prep work. Within a few years the road was in worse shape than if they had done nothing at all.
AT&T is the Carrier of Last Resort (COLR) in various areas of California. They have applied to the CPUC to have "targeted relief" from that telephone service obligation.

Currently, AT&T could provide telephone service via fiber, rather than copper, wherever they may choose to do so. So, currently, they can transition to fiber-to-the-premises wherever they want. Their COLR obligation does not require copper wires as the technology.
What do you mean by the engineering mindset?

To me, it is the way of looking at the world that attempts to transform intractable real-world problems into tractable ones by translating them into the battle-tested model(s) of your field. For example, the RLC model of circuits is certainly not able to express all of EM physics but it sure is easy to solve problems in (although, I only did the degree, maybe working engineers dip back down into physics more often).

Anyway it isn’t obvious how Musk has that mindset, he seems obsessed with innovation rather than tradition, and he seems to have styled himself as some kind of polymath tech guy rather than an expert in any particular field.
