This is the most useful comment in the thread (so far)!

This product would not work at all for any analog or power designs--EEs like to visualize current flow and a schematic is the best way to do that. Maybe if it could interoperate with small blocks of schematics, treating them as modules, it could be useful. If there was a way to parameterize part values, like those used to build analog filters, that could also be useful, but not in the current text-only form.

The one thing it could be useful for is creating net connectivity for large numbers of pin to pin connections, like DDR memory or PCIe buses. Schematics for these end up looking like large data tables anyway, and can be tedious to create and prone to errors.

I see so many EDA startups using their product for simple Arduino boards and other low to medium complexity designs. It's far more effective to start with the most complex board design. Take a server board from the OpenCompute project with a few thousands parts and a few tens of thousands of nets. What would that look like in this language? Would it have too much boilerplate code? What would the experience of creating it be like? How do you handle back annotation? How do you handle pin swaps, or part section swaps? How about BOM variants?
Because batteries die, stuff overheats and shit hits the fan, sometimes. I always carry backup paper charts even if I am flying with a EFB and a glass cockpit.
Not to slight the author, but Rust seems like quite a hard language to learn on the job.

I program almost every weekday for money, less vacation, and some days that are just code review and thinking, and I have been for over 20 years.
>"If you work, your basic needs should be absolutely met and with a little bit more."

So, how many hours do I need to work before this logic kicks in? Presumably not just one per week, right? Does my employer get the right to pay me less because my needs are met in part by an inheritance or because I share the rent with someone else who works? At what level of granularity does the basic cost of living get decided? i.e. if I flip burgers at the McDonald's at the corner of Chambers and Greenwich (in the middle of TriBeCa) does that mean I should be paid enough to live there too?

The basic ideal of dignity of work is fine, you just can't get there from here.

I'll continue to compare it to other modes of travel when making my decision. Currently it's safer than those, and most of these issues appear to be minor and fixable. I'm not worried. If I worried about anything it would be my commute to work, which I would stop tomorrow and demand to work from home or find another job if I was clutching at my pearls over travel safety

Maybe, but the Fujita scale can greatly under report strength, because the higher grades need to be justified by damage to modern, well built structures. There are tons of tornadoes that meteorologists are sure are at least EF-4 based on Doppler and video, but are rated at EF-1 or EF-2 because they didn’t hit anything but cornfields and sheds.
New Study Links Optimism to Lower Cognitive Abilities
So you are saying Kepler and Galileo used formal axiom systems? Give me a break.

1. needs a citation. I never believed such a nonsense.

Common sense with respect to the physical world is different to common sense with respect to the world of mathematical objects.
In fact I don't like the word "common sense" when applied to mathematics, I prefer the expression "mathematical reasoning". In fact we model the physical world by representing it via mathematical objects, because mathematical reasoning is so much more reliable than common sense with respect to the physical world. In fact the advantage of such a mathematical model which we can subject to mathematical reasoning are so big that we are OK with the fact that the model might only be approximating physical reality.

In the mathematical world formal logic is a great tool for mathematical reasoning. Mathematical reasoning tells us that if we can represent our reasoning via formal logic, then we can be sure that it is correct. But formal logic has its limits, and in the end mathematical reasoning is the final arbiter, not formal logic: The peano axioms are consistent, because the natural numbers exist. Which is obvious and doesn't require a formal proof (which does not exist, by the way, and will never exist; but that we can know this, is a testament to the power of mathematical reasoning).
Win 95 and Dreamweaver? Or Frontpage.
I won't be as good as the person behind css-tricks [1] and definitely not an UX expert, only interested in the topic, but let's try:

- I'm tech savvy enough and want to open in the same page: you are preventing me from doing it easily, while it's easy for you to open it in a new tab if you want it this way.

- I'm not tech savvy. I barely know to use a browser. The link opened in a new tab and I didn't notice. The back button I know to use is greyed out. I'm confused.

Said differently: you can always open normal links in new tabs. I do it all the time, to the point I almost never understand someone requesting a link to open in a new tab: help yourself, it's so easy. Don't rely on the page author to make the call for you because they can't please everyone. However, target=_blank links are harder to open in place, while it's reasonable to want and expect a link to behave normally. I get a bit mad when for some reason a new tab was opened and I didn't want to nor I expected it. Just leave me alone, you know. If I don't want to come back to the previous page, or if I want to do it using the familiar back button (or gesture), you should not force me to close the previous tab and break my history buttons.

Moreover, nothing usually tells you that a link is going to behave differently as you expected (principle of least surprise), and even if it does, I shouldn't have to install an extension or fiddle with the web dev tools to work around this and get the default and expected behavior, that's terrible UX for obvious reasons.

Deviations from the default behavior are sometimes better / necessary but you always risk causing surprise and thus confusion, which you should also avoid for good UX. Even someone who want to open the link in a new tab probably expects a link to open in place. It's usually impossible to know in advance if users will prefer opening a particular link in a new tab, especially since different users will have different preferences in the general case. As a user who will sometimes prefer a new tab, it's also uncomfortable to rely on the author of the page to make the call so you may as well just help yourself.

So, for good UX, the normal behavior is supposed to be the best option, unless in specific cases like those discussed in [1], basically when the confusion or frustration caused by the normal behavior is greater than for the new tab behavior, like loss of work or disrupted playback.

I don't know if there are proper studies about links specifically, but I'd expect existing research to prove the principle of least surprise, generally accepted as basic UX principle. I'm a bit lazy to find such work, on a phone during a small insomnia, I hope you'll forgive me. A "(opens in a new tab)" tag partially fixes the issue but doesn't fully address it.

Looks like your comment was enough to send the poor FAA server into meltdown - all I get is speeds like "250 Byte/s - 9,9 KB von 155 MB".
Not necessarily because there may not be any difference between a wind speed of 350mph and 400mph wind in term of destructive power. Both may simply be able to strip the land bare and deliver the everything above it many miles away as well as temporarily moving parts of the sea miles inland.
OP will take that experience with them forever (technical, tactical, emotional perhaps). It’s a huge learning experience, many would suffer for.

OTOH, the hedge fund will probably fail to profit from the project soon enough: A. they fired their most productive engineer in a changing competitive business B. they run a v0.9 with many bugs without the author-maintainer C. hate the saying but they seem penny-wise pound-foolish.

OTOH, it smells like there was also a quiet conflict between OP and their manager, and OP was unaware of that.
Hard to claim success with "complex" questions if you don't account for business context and organizational nuances. For example, "active" listings on Redfin may be a combination of days on market, last open house, last update, etc instead of a Boolean flag called "is_active". How can we expect models to generate correct SQL at the enterprise level without providing a support structure of business context? The model can only be so good.
The comparison operators are specifically defined in the C standard to output 1 if true and 0 if false.
Any rating system is going to fail to be actionable until two things happen. 1, structures need to be rated by the level of wind they're able to withstand, and 2, geographic regions need to be categorized by their likelihood of flooding.

As it stands, as a person, you have no way of knowing if you have a cat X capable roof, nor do you know if you're in an area that is likely to flood, or how likely that area is to flood. Until you have a concrete rating system for those things, you'll have more people thinking that "We can just hunker down" when a cat X is barreling down on them than you want.

That sounds like a big bite to take, but, realistically, you can more or less tag existing houses based on when they were built (ie under which revision of the building code were they built) and then use USGS data to determine flood risk. Then, you categorize all of the above by storm, ie, live in a cat 3 area with a cat 4 house? Evacuate if you have a cat 3 storm because it's going to flood. That will also inform localities as to which areas are going to need to be evacuated first, along with which areas are going to need more emergency assistance post-storm so resources can be allocated more efficiently.

We're already kinda sorta accounting for this at the local level, but, codifying the practice allows it to scale and improve over time.

This is getting overly pedantic.

Opening comment said that you'd need absurd amounts of mass to accelerate a person to near light speed.

I said that the velocity of ejecting that mass mattered. That if you could push out mass at speed of light, you'd need a lot less mass.

Not that you'd push out the same mass at speed of light. Or that you could arbitrarily push things out at speed of light. Sheesh.
This is a nice website, however there are factual inaccuracies and watered down information. For example, "Visual Flight Rules” (VFR) apply when there is generally good visibility, and features on the ground can be discerned by the pilot." Well, NO. There are speciifc requirements. 14 CFR § 91.155, states (in the worst case scenario) you need 3 statute miles of visibility; 500 feet below, 1000 feet above 1 statute mile horizontal separation from clouds. The previous limits are dependent on the airspace type you are in.

But it is nothing like, yeah, looks about right, so we can fly with VFR. Best case scenario, your wings will be clipped, at least for a while; worst case scenario, you will get a headstone earlier than you should have and your next of kin would be sued for damages.

> a ship moving at 0.9C

You decelerate from 0.9C to 50 km/s conventionally, more if you can aerobrake or line up multiple slingshots, and that last 0.00001% with gravity assist.

It saves you more than that in fuel, because the fuel you'd have used on that last bit of deceleration needed to be accelerated and decelerated the entire way from 0 to 0.9C back to close to zero.
I am on my third Mighty due to faults. The first one was an early model which had an unpatchable firmware issue that bricked it. They sent me a replacement, for free. One the second one, the cable (and jack port) keeps corroding, meaning I can no longer charge it.

I have emailed customer support 3 times with no reply, tried Twitter and literally cannot get a response from them at all. Really really disappointing as I love(d) the product and what the company was trying to create.
It sounds like they were never given written confirmation for the bonuses. How likely are you to face penalties if you put a "time bomb" in a codebase like this? Something with plausible deniability like let's say like an authentication script that you have to run every 30 days or the program stops working for "security reasons". Also you're the only one who knows where the script is and how to run it.

Tired of OpenAI assistants API? I will deploy your first RAG pipeline
Recently, engaging with developers during my time at YCW24 revealed a valuable insight: the demand for the advanced Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) solutions I envisioned is overshadowed by the need for simpler, more intuitive tooling.

I'm grateful that YC's culture pushes hard to identify real "hair on fire" problems through direct user feedback. Motivated by this, I'm working to create a developer-centric platform that simplifies end-to-end deployment.

I'm happy to offer hands on support for interested devs - whether that be in the form of deploying your first RAG solution or helping you migrate off of an existing solution onto a more scaleable platform.

If better tooling interests you, or if you are are just interested in chatting RAG then let's connect.
so, stopping the "apartheid regime" would stop the rocket fire from Gaza you believe? was there also "apartheid" in gaza before October 7?

like, literally, now, while hostages are in the tunnels and they launched 10k rockets into Israel, they should be stopping the apartheid regime? AND blockade of Gaza, so Iran, Turkey, Russia etc. can bring in weapons unchecked, right? That’s what’s gonna make everyone safe, and bring in the democratic process the that the world believes will resolve the conflict?

You believe that?

I think “good visibility” is fine for a general audience. Having a detailed definition for pilots is necessary; explaining those details to the layperson isn’t.
Hmmm I mean it can certainly be lucrative but it is NOT a get-rich-quick kind of business. It's a get-rich-slow business if you know what you're doing and put lots of effort in over years. So I'd say I'm skeptical, but you never know!

Don’t have the time to dissect the linked PDF, but it has numerous issues including methods that are imprecise, misapplied or simply wrong. It needs a pretty extensive review by an expert.

The file signature listings shown on page 80 are most likely spurious (false matches). The first give away is why there would be over 2000 microcode artifacts, the next is that all of the inspected fields are bogus, including the size field (some in the GBs). In theory you could purposefully obfuscate that, but then why would you carry any tell of microcode at all. Much more likely this is just patterned data that happens to match that file magic. Anybody with experience with binwalk knows how common this is.

Same goes for the mcrypt(?) headers. Blowfish 448 CBC 8-bit happens to be all 0s. Another very common false positive (matches \x00m\x02). Also look at the offsets carefully. Seems more like a match confusion.

As for encrypted appearing data at all, not too surprising if someone is selling used drives and naively wiped them. But it isn’t clear that encrypted vs compressed data was identified.

There’s also a fundamental misunderstanding of what a write blocker is/does repeated.
"Results indicated the presence of firmware ... in the machine code of the unallocated spaces of the storage device.". Machine code of the unallocated spaces makes no sense.

In general: microcode attacks are sophisticated attacks. Anybody carrying these out is unlikely to leave such an obvious smoking gun. Not saying impossible, but it would give any serious researcher pause to scrutinize their work.

Also not saying you won’t get shitty crap from random sellers and should buy random junk, but I’d take this paper with a large grain of salt.
I find it preposterous that we say that nothing can travel faster than light, when clearly that isn't the case.
