Sorry, but an ordinary ad blocker will not block the ads embedded in the video.

Apparently "SponsorBlock" actually solves that. Haven't of it before, but the description is promising.

>>> SponsorBlock lets you skip over sponsors, intros, outros, subscription reminders, and other annoying parts of YouTube videos. SponsorBlock is a crowdsourced browser extension that lets anyone submit the start and end times of sponsored segments and other segments of YouTube videos. Once one person submits this information, everyone else with this extension will skip right over the sponsored segment.

Atlas 5 is already completely obsoleted by the Falcon Heavy which costs about half as much, for a reusable launch, and carries about 3x as much.

But for Starship, most people don't seem to realize what a potential game changer this is. The goal for Starship is to get costs down to about 15x less than Falcon Heavy. When you can start sending stuff to space for a few dollars per pound, we're not talking about just probes, but rather opening the door to the complete commercialization and exploitation of space.

Such an exponential jump (downward) in prices would also largely end the only-for-the-super-rich phase of space we're currently in. You could be doing a flyby around the Moon for what you might spend on a holiday to Asia, in the very foreseeable future. That's what makes Starship so tantalizing. If it succeeds - this is a revolutionary step forward for space. Of course, there's no guarantee that it will succeed, but it increasingly looks like it will!

hah. At that time, everyone there has been "friend" for a while then "enemy" for a while, then again. +-10 years, repeat. That has been like schoolyard's everyday play. But Arabs.. No, thanks. That "Bulgar menace" Khan Tervel went and helped Byzantians get-arabs-off-the-lawn completely.. no matter was-it-friend-or-foe. Then went back to schoolyard's games/wars as usual.

The point of the marketplace metaphor is that good ideas will outcompete bad ideas. That's only possible if people are willing to change their minds.

How do you think the marketplace of ideas works if people don't do that?

Also, it's a perfectly valid option to support a team that you think is going to win. Why would someone put themselves through losing? I think that's the position that requires more justification.
Adrian Tchaikovsky's sci-fi book Children of Time has a pretty cool take on the future of ant wars. I'm interviewing him in a couple weeks to talk about ecology in science fiction. If anyone has a suggestion for a question I'd love to hear it.

Hanami 2.1: Views that are a sight to see
You're welcome to disagree, of course. My main concern is to explain what the principles are. I'm not saying we apply them perfectly—sometimes we make bad calls.

I can tell you pretty much for certain though, that we'd hear many more complaints if a Reddit thread about a customer support shitstorm stayed on HN's front page for very long.

Btw, the Customer Support Fuckup category is one of several $X where HN has become known as the place for $X, but only because HN is not actually for $X. Another example is the Site Is Down category—people often come to HN to find out what's going on when some $Site or other is having an outage. But just as HN itself isn't a site monitoring platform, it's also not a customer-support-of-last-resort platform.

If the community feels like this customer support fuckup is altogether more interesting, I'd consider reversing the call, but again, my gut feeling is that we'd get even more complaints that way.
Mostly for time synchronization. GPS/GNSS is cheap, widely available, and accurate down to nanoseconds, so it's displaced every other technology.

As an example, consider the blinking lights on top of wind turbines and other tall things. If you've got a lot of these in one area, the FAA recommends they blink in unison, to make them more visible and less distracting to pilots. Turns out the cheap and foolproof way to synchronize is to give each one a GPS receiver. This is fine until GPS goes down, and now something as innocuous as "blinking hazard light" is dependent on GPS.

This example fails safe if the lights fall out of sync ("oh no, anyway..."), but it's still emblematic of how widespread the problem can be.
This is some paranoid nonsense.

It’s that keeping capacity for one of the leading forms of global travel is a strategic interest. Don’t let your conspiracies get in the way of the obvious.

Also I feel like the rail circle jerk is so unearned. Last time I was in London it cost 100 pounds to fly to paris from London downtown airport and 600 to take the Chunnel. How “superior”.

Right, so even pre-Republic, the Roman purity test is kind of problematic.
Seems very neat!
Not really. You're making the choice to explore or exploit at each branch. It's closer to an A-star search, where the weights and heuristics are uncovered over time.

Also, the typical framing of the problem is the same "kind" of choice being repeatedly executed (e.g., betting on a coin-flip of unknown bias, or balancing the gain of consumer purchasing information vs exploiting known information when setting items into aisle end-caps in a grocery store). That has a lot more structure than arbitrary graphs, enough so to make it worthy of its own dedicated study (especially given the real-world applicability).

It’s amazing how quick we forget things we thought at the moment were so important. Not in the same vein as journaling, but I’d been keeping a list of Notion entries on things I found important enough to keep notes on at work for the past 2-3 years.

It’s different from my JIRA work log or Todoist list of completed tasks in that these are not everything I did, but just the important items. The things where I ran the risk of getting stuck

Come appraisal process, I’ll have forgotten most things I worked on in the year. My imposter syndrome creeps in, but this Notion page keeps me sane!

With this proof in hand, I’ve started journaling. I use the Apple Journal app. And it’s doing a good job of prompting me!
Your complaint should be directed towards the hospitals, for-profit insurance companies, and others who profit massively on the backs of patients.

My "industry" is only myself as I am beholden to my patients. I work and am paid by each patient who I treat and receive reimbursement by 50% of them at best.

If you don’t care about my work-life balance and lump me in with the rest of the healthcare system, then there’s nothing much to discuss.

> No one makes money making music anymore.

when was "making music" a money maker? or for that matter, when was creating any art form a money maker? i think making money out of art is an anomaly, not a rule. and i think that's good, as money corrupts art.

the problem as i see it is that lots of us live in a capitalist world. and in that case it's very hard to hold my beliefs and still lead a fulfilling life.

i don't have the answer to this issue. but i think there was a similar issue a few decades ago, when making money from art was considered "selling out".
You mean I screwed over those 0.1% of commits in EmailEngine (because the other 0.1% is from the Github Actions bot writing the changelog)? Everything else is my own code.

For over 14 years, I've been actively developing Nodemailer, a hugely popular project. There has been no CLA in place, and the main outside commits I get are typo fixes during Hacktoberfest. This is why I'm still the owner of 98% of the committed code in Nodemailer. Usually, if I do not fix or build something, no one else will either.
Sure, or any internal service/microservice.

The ETL approach makes sense but in the case of a service/microservice but I'm assuming you've got to have a well defined dataflow.

Edit: also at that point, any change (schema change, etc.) to the underlying data store represents a change to your dashboard, rather than a change to an API.
This must be a non-EU thing. Sometimes I'm amazed how much western democracies and esp. the EU have achieved in protecting the employee from their employer. It all seems so natural that I tend to forget how much the social democrats and worker unions struggled to get to this point.

Could you list a few? I tried looking once but nothing came close to Tableau.
That doesn’t mean you can’t have trees: a high-rise building next to a park is quite dense, as are tree-lined streets.

The problem is those streets: the 20th century model focused on maximizing individual vehicle usage, which meant lots of open space for safe operation and subsidized storage. Cars can’t go around trees like pedestrians or bicyclists and owners don’t want branches falling on their parked cars, so anywhere there isn’t enough space for both it tended to result in more heat-amplifying asphalt.
Seconded. PowerToys + WSL2 at work have kept me happy enough and very productive at work. A decade ago, when I was (briefly -- I moved to a Linux based development team before the end of my first year there) in a Windows development shop (.NET), I felt the loss of productivity as I was moving to Windows from a decade of Linux based development. But today? Not really.
One additional feedback, for consideration: to me, your Pricing page[1] doesn’t make it sufficiently clear that the “Starter” plan may incur costs at all (let alone in this ballpark). It’s now more apparent when looking at it in hindsight, but you have to either read very carefully, or go to the separate “View Features” page to understand this.

“0$ to get started, then pay as you go” reads to me: “0$ to get started, and then you can order add-ons and extra features as you need them”, not “$0 to get started, but we may start charging you virtually unlimited amounts at any point without prior notice”.

When signing up for the “Starter” tier initially, I completely misunderstood this. I didn’t have to enter any credit card or invoice details, so I thought as long as you don’t have that info from me, you can’t and won’t bill anything.

I was thinking of things like Box, Rc, Arc, Cell, Refcell. Then there is also the macro language, which integrates Scheme concepts. Like C++, it is a huge language, with extra wrinkles for every new corner case. Again, maybe this all is unavoidable if one wants to have zero cost abstractions. Hopefully, language designers will learn from Rust and come up with something more elegant.

No disagreement about Perl's ugliness..

To monetize a small subscriber base you have to pull a sizable $x per active user that almost requires you to become a little scummy at best. I've seen a lot of personal finance influencers (FIRE especially) pull sizeable amounts of money because their niches are pretty favorable, but they end up pushing weird financial products and courses for $Xk on how to make money blogging/real estate/some other business.
Reality is the vast majority of people will absolutely refuse to pay content creators. Even legit newspapers with large staffs can’t get people to subscribe. Most people are ok with ads though. Your best bet is some sort of split where a small niche try’s to go subscription because there’s no chance of a widespread content creator subscription service that can replace ads.
I'm not certain that Cisco, Oracle, or other vendors ever took there crazy valuation to invest in web companies. There is a unique connection between NVidia investment and NVidia revenue.

This effectively makes NVidia a leveraged investment on the AI space, however it's unclear whether all investors recognize the leveraged nature of the investment - or the portion which is funded directly out of firms like Meta ramping up their GPU buys.

Well that is from 3 weeks ago. If that remains then it’s a bug or the documentation is wrong.
What are the rules for keeping a GC object alive? What earthly useful meaning can “Lua stack” have in the FFI GC documentation if not to local bindings since that is the only user visible exposure of it in the language.

From the LuaJIT docs:
So e.g. if you assign a cdata array to a pointer, you must keep the cdata object holding the array alive as long as the pointer is still in use:

ffi.cdef[[
typedef struct { int *a; } foo_t;
]]

local s = ffi.new("foo_t", ffi.new("int[10]")) -- WRONG!

local a = ffi.new("int[10]") -- OK
local s = ffi.new("foo_t", a)
-- Now do something with 's', but keep 'a' alive until you're
done.

What on earth does "OK" here mean if not the local variable binding? It's the expectation because this is what it says on the tin.

This then isn’t a discussion about fundamental issues or "impossibilities" with GC, but with poor language implementations not following their own specifications or not having them.

Since LuaJIT does not have an explicit pinning interface the expectation that a local variable binding remains until the end of scope is pretty basic. If your bug case is expected then even the line: interior[0] = 13 is undefined and so would everything after local s in the documentation, ie you can do absolutely nothing with a pointed to cdata until you pin it in a table. Who would want to use that?

The deficiencies found in the report were in Just Culture and Reporting Culture.

The five Key Elements of Safety Culture are:

1) Informed Culture- the organization collects and analyses relevant data, and actively disseminates safety information.

2) Reporting Culture- cultivating an atmosphere where people have confidence to report safety concerns without fear of blame. Employees must know that confidentiality will be maintained and that the information they submit will be acted upon, otherwise they will decide that there is no benefit in their reporting.

3) Learning Culture- an organization is able to learn from its mistakes and make changes. It will also ensure that people understand the SMS processes at a personal level.

4) Just Culture- errors and unsafe acts will not be punished if the error was unintentional. However, those who act recklessly or take deliberate and unjustifiable risks will still be subject to disciplinary action.

5) Flexible Culture- the organization and the people in it are capable of adapting effectively to changing demands.

Thanks! I was in aviation, but primarily tactical and expeditionary. I always forget about the C-40 despite having ridden in one multiple times.

The E-4 and VC-25 aren’t really a fair one; you don’t need the divisions to be the same company for their integration (though I suppose it would make it vastly cheaper). We also don’t fly many at all (meaning cost per unit is relatively inconsequential).

I also somehow always forget the tankers. Thanks for that.

I’ll still maintain the links aren’t necessary. I honestly think a dedicated military platform for all of those would have been a smarter investment and that the current way of modifying airliners is suboptimal.
