There’s no way to shield your missiles from a beam that can penetrate right through the planet.
that is very proper IT wise from them
This is why you put delay loops or similar into poc, and demo any u proposalsi as a sketch so there is no misunderstanding it's not production ready.
"... fizzle explosion with 3% of the full strength."

The paper notes that this is too much, of course.
From GP (and my) perspective, the useful part of UUID is that it's 16 bytes. This is usually for formatted as 32 hex digits with dashes in specific places.

The version/variant bits are the pointless part. Of course if you put the 16 bytes on the wire you would still have some encoding (perhaps 22 base64 characters?) that requires decoding/validation, but in memory and in your DB it's just 16 bytes of opaque data.
I agree. In fact it’s pretty wild to think that Facebook used to be somehow … sane.

Before engagement algorithms, influencers and news outlets everywhere … it was just what your friends did today. It was mostly stupid and sentimental but that’s what humans are anyway.

I’m sad the world now looks like a worse place.
I wonder what would happen to the housing market.
Yeah but they spy on you privately. People love that they care so much about their privacy and people loathe apps that neglect them like signal.org
A site with accounts that you never want linked to your real self, or your other accounts, under any circumstances. It bucks the trend of every profile linking to every other one somewhat
Nope. Unless you take out all the thousands of nukes at the same instant, you are guaranteed to get at least some of them sent your way. Doesn’t take many to wipe out a large part of your population.
It's a testimony to the power of mind equivalent to Einstein's 'Gedankenexperimenten'. The only reason they got some of it totally wrong is because they lacked the scientific apparatus to test their hypothesis, but they were on the right track.
On the one hand, this seems crazy and impractical. On the other hand, compared to constructing 60,000 nuclear warheads, this seems comparatively sane and practical.
The flash could be a white LED.

Apple has some other devices which require another device for setup, so it wouldn't be unusual for them. They could also offer setup at an Apple store.
And how should one measure the "good at their jobs" metric?

it's almost nauseating to me that every month or so our nation deminstrates it is capable and willing to collectively chip in enough money to turn one random nobody into a near-billionaire, muvh of which gets promptly vaporized on drugs and tacky status symbol purchases for themselves and maybe some immediate family, when the same money would fund a hundred Vesuvius Challenges a year at several times the scale of this project.
Setting Goals for Your Well-Being
For extensions you basically install Chrome Web Store extension (via Load Unpacked), and then you can use that to install and update other extensions. It's explained in the GitHub page AFAIK.

Signing in to websites will work fine since it doesn't depend on Google.

Regarding DRM: I never really used anything that required it so I don't know, but you can go to Issues on the GitHub page and search for "Widevine", "DRM" etc

Edit: Here's the FAQ https://ungoogled-software.github.io/ungoogled-chromium-wiki...
Designing circuit boards is not than describing a collection of electronic components and how each component's pins are connected together.

For circuit board design we are missing
* PCB layer management

* copper dimensioning

* track management

* Design rules management

* many others....

At best, I would describe this tool as a vim for schematic capture in its current iteration.

One question to the founders, what are the real pain points for you that atopile are relieving?
Nazism is a combination of many things. Obviously it's a regression to tribalism, but it's also purity neuroticism, such as still found in the esoteric movement and natural food movement. Finally, and today little understood it's the upstart underdogs hyper imperialism, a attempt to out monster the monsters already prowling the lands, deactivating empathy systematically by constant reminding of past victim hood and the atrocities of the "larger fishes". Add to that a war traumatized nation and you get the perfect storm.

Germany when ww1 came around was not old, it was a small militaristic kingdom glueing together half diggested bits of in between empire countries, wedged between eternal giants of France, Britain, Russia, Austria Hungary. To life in in between country is to know what the great game is all about, it's about painting on a map, so that the real, the capital city people can have a nice life, while in between country folks serves as disposables for taxing, torturing and throwing out of cellar windows.
evil is gestated and caricature like evil is gestated in caricature like circumstances. The modern left is unable to perform this kind of analysis any more, but the nazis were a afterbirth of imperialism and nobody can prevent this from returning without understanding of the conditions that gave birth to this.
In most ORM apps you need to pre-allocate the integers to build the references in the object graph before actually executing these inserts. Doesn't this carry a performance penalty?
Thanks for sharing the docs! Our language is mostly declarative at the moment. There are some features we discussed that would be imperative and we might introduce them in future versions of the compiler.
PDF sounds like a terrible format for reading on the kindle, why not MOBI or epub or whatever it uses?
Not much, compared against what could possibly go wrong with a non-exploded nuclear warhead.
Those aren't mutually exclusive at all.

You could both limit the victim's responsibility for identity theft, and prohibit businesses for using the SSAN as a means of identification, with a whopping fine attached.

> The businesses will automatically stop using mechanisms of identity verification that cause them to lose money.

You mean like if they were forced to pay a gigantic fine?
Someone has to first write bindings to the library using said FFI. This is not something most JavaScript dev can do. This has to be written by someone who knows C++ and JavaScript, and be good at both to understand all the details. (How the two interacts, how the lifetime of C++ objects play with the garbage collector, how do the inventloop mixes, ...)
Writing such binding is a huge work as they the whole API need to be wrapped. And sometimes concept from the one language don't map easily in the other. (eg. templates)

And then you still have to ship an extra binary in addition to Deno itself.
OKRs were brought into Google by an Intel-trained mentor and VC called John Doerr: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Doerr

That 70% figure is simply to suggest that you should set stretch goals. One good thing that can come out of setting outlandish goals is that it forces you to take a revolutionary rather than evolutionary approach. I would not say you should do this for everything, but it seems to have worked for Google.
> Every person is different, but I wonder what is it that you hate so much about negotiation, so much that you’d accept a lower salary even though if you had bills to pay.

Why are you assuming that I'm constantly accepting lower salaries? I pick my number so that I can my bills and live a comfortable life. Sometimes they have to close a job req and open a new one with a higher pay grade to give me my number.

I've read a few times that employees don't care about the absolute number, as long as they feel like they are getting paid fairly compared to their peers. I was like that when I was younger but now I don't care. If Jeff does nothing and gets paid more than me, whatever. As long as I make a number I'm happy with then I'm happy.

> As for ChatGPT, there are tell tale markers when someone uses that, and because of its content-free nature of writing, it is very likely to backfire.

I just tried it, and it came up with:

> Thank you for the offer. I appreciate the opportunity to join your company. However, based on my skills, experience, and the market standards for this role in the industry, I was hoping for a salary closer to (your salary). I believe this reflects the value I can bring to the team and the responsibilities of the position.

Seems _good enough_. I'm sure if I spent more time with the prompt and actually told it what industry I'm in, it could write something less generic.
> Also, all the money that would be necessary to excavate has made the project a target for the mafia who wants to get their share.

I wonder how far Italy will go once - if - they get rid of the mafia, it is like trying to drive a car with the handbrake on.
I’m not sure you can characterise all software with such a sweeping generalisation. There are plenty of use cases outside commerce - outside optimising distribution and trade of goods and services - which software contributes to immensely.

Also, maybe there’s an ironic counterfactual in payment and financial reporting networks, like Visa and Peppol. Peppol is not for profit, and Visa infamously facilitates five-way transactions with a huge degree of backwards compatibility.

As an aside, I wonder what code quality means to the author of TFA, and what craftsmanship looks like. Would be fantastic to get clear examples of this from the history of the industry.
> Brave is run by a homophobic, anti-vax crypto clown. I won’t dignify it here with a link.

I don't know Brave, I don't know anything about its author (nor do I care to).

But this strikes me as unserious.. It's an article about the browser, Hitlers eviller clone could be building it for all I care, is the browser and the way the browser behaves good ?

I'm going to say this is a fact: The quality of someones work is separate from the quality of their values.

You can be the bestest, nicest, warmest, most just and fair person in the world, but if what you build is crap, I don't give a f*ck about it, except I want it (not you) to die and go away.
You're not the first person to ask for alternative syntax highlighting! Might be something we need to address soon.

I think an LSP server is what we're really excited about, since it also means we can provide far richer autocomplete and inline docs as we go too.
Private as "Not public"
Being self employed is not for the faint-hearted. You get to work long hours, for irregular pay, for lots of different bosses (I mean customers), and as a bonus (if you succeed) you get to deal with difficult staff.

And those are the good bits...

On the other hand you are more in control. You decide what to work on, and when. You decide how many zoom meetings to have (well, sort of.) You won't be laid off (although you might not get paid.) There's no office politics, and no boss to get jn your way.

Sure it can end up being financially rewarding, but a good job, with good investing, likely comes out ahead.
I don't think I've ever seen a sci-fi rendition of this concept. It means that an advanced enough alien species could come to a planet, from orbit disable all nuclear weapons and power plants, then start their invasion. Not as cinematic as a Death Star planet explosion, but sounds like a good tactical move for a galactic empire.
Exactly, SQL is like a very specific natural language used to tell a database what data you need. The database contains AI (the query optimizer) that will use statistics to determine the fastest way to retrieve the data requested. Depending on your query and the data you have the fastest way to get your data will change. It’s hard to manually write this yourself.
Wild speculation: default mode provides a waking weight/bias adjustment mechanism?
> should you complete 70% of your goals to 100%? Or should you complete 100% of your goals at 70%?

70% of the key result is supposed to be a good, attainable goal, with 100% of the key result being the "stretch" goal.

> the response is always, in classic "no true Scotsman" style, "well, you're just not doing OKRs correctly."

No, there's a definition of what a KR is. And in my experience, most companies fail to set KRs, instead writing down what amounts to nothing more than a goal as it usually fails to be measurable. (A discrete boolean "we did it, or we didn't do it", isn't a KR. There's no 70% of a boolean. TypeError, operation is not defined for bool.)

> I guess my question is: if nobody in the industry does OKRs "correctly", why are we still trying to do them at all?

I have no idea. That'd be the bullshit.

If you're C-suite, enforce whatever goal-setting framework you want upon your company, but stop trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
Southwest made changes to activate the indicator after the accident, so they at least were in a similar (or same?) situation at Ethiopia.

Ethiopia Airlines is the largest in Africa, with a good safety record. It is a Star Alliance member, and has flights to Washington DC.

+1 on views, for those things than need direct DB access.

One effective pattern I’ve seen in large DB deployments is to separate the write schema from the read schema. That is, treat what is allowed to be written into the DB separately from the shapes of any views that exist. The views themselves are a tightly coupled client of the DB log - by constraining writers, you can migrate/rebuild views, then point services to read from the migrated views, and retire old views.

This allows you to keep accepting writes - you never have to shut down the write path. If you’re introducing new shapes or the DB, you’d prepare a new view, the “widen” the write schema, and begin accepting writes in the new shape, and only then re-point clients to read from the new view.

To drop elements of your read schema, you do the dance in reverse. First, constrain your writes. Then, build new views that don’t require the elements you removed. Gradually, update application code to work on the new, reduced views. When you’re done reading from the original views, you can drop them.

This is inherently much less efficient than online or offline DB migrations. But it’s a sane strategy for wrangling very large systems with very low risk.

Versioned workflows are in practice distributed entities that interact with their peers, themselves defined by versioned interfaces. By tracking the versions of handlers touched by any given execution, we can imagine a similar experience for deployed code - including garbage-collecting unused versions.
"Wherever you get your podcasts" is a statement
It depends on what you’re collecting but for pre-ISBN books, AbeBooks is the central marketplace for rare books so that’s one place to look up titles but most book collectors specialize, often in a very specific niches like certain authors or topics, usually restricted to a single era.

The hard part is tracking editions and verifying that you have a genuine first edition. Collectors depend on bibliographies which are themselves rare books that describe all the publications of a specific publisher or author and how to identify editions. Often there are marks but for valuable books it usually requires knowing the exact typos and changes between editions to authenticate them. There are a lot of counterfeits, both modern and contemporary to the original printing.

The other problem is that the vast majority of books are worthless unless they’re in very good condition. Not “good condition for their age” but damn near pristine, even if it’s hundreds of years old. If it’s falling apart, it’s almost certainly worthless, unless it’s an honest to god manuscript.

It’s mostly dependent on luck. It’s really hard to make a living with book collecting unless you’re running an auction house. Most companies handling estate sales are smart enough to check AbeBooks so the lucky life changing finds are getting rarer and rarer.
For better or worse, autonomous weapons seem to be more practical, and something like this would be a pretty big deterrent against having nuclear weapons in the first place.
I got fed up sending cover letters so I made a tool that writes them for me. Scrapes the company website and summarizes it to get relevant background info, takes my resume + arbitrary info I provide as input, and the job posting (can also work without for unsolicited applications). I then fine-tuned a GPT3 model on actual cover letters I had written to make it sound like me, and voilà ! Actually landed me a job.
Ignoring the calls for it to be built by a "one world government", it would be difficult to do this in secret. Those that possess nuclear weapons would simply keep it from being built. Since it can't destroy all nuclear weapons at once but has to do so one at a time, using the power equal to the generation capacity of the UK, it wouldn't take long for any nuclear nation to detect this and simply nuke the source long before it could destroy even a small fraction of the existing nuclear stockpile.

As a thought experiment, it's pretty good. But there's no real practical application.

The cool thing here is that you cannot shield from a neutrino beam, except by not being there
Ethereum Name Service (ENS) has teamed up with GoDaddy, the world's largest domain registrar, to simplify the integration of traditional DNS domains into the ENS ecosystem. This strategic partnership aims to bring the advantages of web3 to GoDaddy's extensive user base, providing millions of customers with a seamless experience in the blockchain space.
The people who work on Brave don't really have anything to do with Brendan Eich's political beliefs. You can also disable the crypto component.
It's a neutrino beam... doesn't that mean it can be selectively directed to only disable SOME nuclear bombs... on the other side of the earth, where host country arsenal is not.

E: looks like the beam is actually aimed, I was expecting some explosion that takes out all nukes simultaneously. good luck finding nuke subs.

Although would a smaller version be viable ABM defense against nukes? Assuming you can hit them a few "minutes" and have them explode at 3% yield. Which is still kiloton range given full yeild of modern weapons.
> I am not "dismissing" anyone as anything.

Yes, you are. You're lumping everyone opposed to a national ID into the category of "religious fanatics".

> I'm not sure how a state-level database is supposed to be safer in real life.

Because mitigates the potential number of victims. The population of the United States is about 330 million. The population of California (the most populous state) is only about 39 million.

Now, some states would cooperate with a potential tyranny, and hand over their databases.

Others... would not.
I am not sure that this will work unless the company is considered a highly desirable place to work for. A prospective CEO might simply walk over to another company which has a more lucrative deal. So you might end up with people who are either desperate, or those who are highly able and see that as a challenge. The second might be very rare.
More like bridges and skyscrapers, perhaps with an ablating sheild at the lead end, maybe an electromagnetic field to divert particles away.

If the thrust is high enough, a tenth of a G to 1.5 maybe, the ship has to "stand up" on the thrusting engine in the same manner as a building must stand up over it's footprint, supporting itself against the force of (artifical) gravity.

If it's higher thrust (as the human meatsacks are suspended in a fluid they've also swallowed ??) then the ship has to look even more like a heavy load brutilist building.
Not at all! Thanks so much for engaging with us on this level. It's greatly appreciated!
I still frequent one but it's basically the same people as 15 years ago and conversations are exclusively injokes and lore. No sane person stumbling across it in their right mind would ever sign up there. I think this is a common problem to smaller, older communities, but I feel it is more pronounced in German ones. We are the kings of snark and knowing-it-better.

Just the other day I was googling about a TRV and ended up in a German home automation forum. A new user started a thread posting a very specific question that was about the mechanical connection of the TRV to the radiator, they explained the issue well and included a photo. In the photo you were able to see the exact brand/model of the TRV. The very first reply was literally just "why are you using X? Aren't you reading this forum?" Like, this shit would get downvoted into oblivion ob sites like reddit, but since this was an old, well established user with a four-digit postcount, another two or three users chimed in commenting about the TRV sucking. Not a single mention why it sucks, or a Link to an according thread. This was German forums in a nutshell to me.
There's definitely Linux support.
