The article makes excellent points. Many engineers (and the entire "agile" paradigm) is focused on making the leaves overly concrete and calling it major progress.

This is due to significant cynicism about many aspects of product and engineering.

I've encountered many systems built leaf-first that end up with no real architecture and are just refactor after refactor that ends up usually having a few "highly skilled" developers who know it inside out but nobody else can figure it out because it is by this point so illogical. The worst is when old names are kept but they no longer mean what they mean in plain language.

System design and architecture (especially when the product is open-ended like any startup) is hard, and over-polishing leaves is comparatively easy, and many startups fail before they face the music for no architecture and the engineers go on to the next job thinking they did everything right.
The problem isn't the firmware, it's the protocol.

If the protocol requires you to reveal your precise location to the network (so that satellite beams can correctly target you), how would you get around that using your own open firmware/hardware?

The same goes for authentication using (potentially) long-term stable or even public identifiers, as is the case for e.g. the IMSI with GSM (not sure if later 3GPP generations finally fixed that): A GSM network won't let you attach without revealing your IMSI over the radio interface at least once. You can spoof it, but then you won't get any service.

> Use Starlink dishes as phased array point to point links across 500 km without the v2 Satellites?

That's a completely different scenario than the one we're talking about here ("why can't military users relatively easily put some distance between the Starlink terminal and its users in a warzone?"), and one which I'd assume the military to have existing solutions for.
The two biggest hurdles in doing office-to-residential conversions are:

1. The lease span (i.e., the distance from the core of the building to the windows) is typically much larger in an office building vs. a residential building (40ft vs 30ft).

2. The plumbing/mechanical services need to be increased/modified for a residential building.

Enforcing the first would essentially mean asking the developer to design a different building. It's possible that you could make an office building work without following conventional office layouts and leasing patterns (who knows, maybe there's more of an appetite for something different post-COVID), but it would involve a significant re-thinking on the part of the developer about how they will make money from a project.

The HVAC/plumbing issue could probably be something you could ask the builder to make accommodations for without needing to totally re-conceptualize the project.
It's funny; I spent a couple of hours last week helping some students debug out-of-bounds indices in their Rust code.

I've written bugs that would have been caught by the compiler in a memory-safe language. I think the last time was maybe in 2012 or 2013? I still write plenty of bugs today but they're almost all logic errors that nothing (short of AI tools) could have caught.
The "Great Awokening" began circa 2012:

And we burn most of it anyways. It's not like Japan got plastics and glass recycling to work, some of us hoped around the turn of the century that with the rapid progress of technologies at the time we soon will and did the legal prepwork. At the end of the day it was a bit of a dedicated self driving lane.
I think the actual vulnerability is a way to connect a pseudonymous account on a third-party messaging service with the real-name account associated with a person's phone OS.

FBI orders an "anonymous" messaging service to give them the Google and Apple push tokens that the service created and stored on its backend for some pseudonymous user when that user first registered through a smartphone app.

Then the FBI goes to Google and Apple and orders them to hand over the gmail or iCloud ID associated with that push token.

Which implies there are only 2 workarounds:

* for a user - use a burner phone with a burner Gmail/iCloud ID and all forms of sync and cloud backups disabled

* for privacy-focused messaging services - do not generate push tokens without an explicit user request. Tell the users about the privacy risk. And if a user opts into push notifications, frequently delete existing tokens, purge them from all logs and backups, and generate new ones.

> I was going to say exactly the same thing. This is precisely the issue with UX-led processes. When you're dealing with very hard engineering problems, you really don't yet know enough to be designing a product.

I’ve had rustc turn my branchless code consisting purely of bitwise operations into branching code. There was probably nothing rustc-specific about it. Just LLVM estimating that branches would be faster in that case.
Ah, I hadn't considered that a smaller size could be seen as a symptom of an inferior/incomplete feature set when compared with competitors.
It also isn't just the chainsaw but the implications of using one. Chainsaws are not used indoors. They are used on uneven terrain to cut things (trees/logs) that are irregular in shape/weight and subject to unseen internal forces. It's a setup for random movements an unanticipated results. Even for adults, felling a tree with a chainsaw is a very dangerous thing.
>The nation owns everything. The nation can take and give anything anytime so long its owners agree(the monarch, the dictator, the party, the people collectively). It's always been that way.

It cant take anything from an individual that they aren't willing to give up. They can make things very hard for them if they decide not to.
I can't figure out if this is a meme model like one of the commenters suggest, or if this is really guardrailing gone hysterical.

Per capita western countries by far lead pollution in the world.

Even if you ignore per capita, just North America/Europe/Japan/Australia/NZ combined it represents 40% of pollution in the world, despite, combined, not even being 20% of the population.
I grew up Mormon in Utah and I don't recall seeing a savory Jell-O salad at any functions I ever attended.

Sweet "salads," usually served as side dishes, are very common, though. My favorite, which doesn't actually include Jell-O, is my mom's frog-eye salad. It's made up of acini di pepe pasta, whipped cream (preferably Cool Whip), and pineapple chunks, mixed with a sauce of pineapple juice thickened with eggs and flour. Yum!
I shouldn't have used such broad strokes, you accurately assessed that my opinion is based on my experience with IT/cyber folks in the government.
Show HN: PyAirbyte – We built a lightweight Python library for ELT
What I'd love to see is an easy workflow to make this supplant Google docs. Right now, let's say i want a shared spreadsheet. I need to:

1) Signup for an account

2) Create a workbook

3) Click share and put in friend's email

4) They get an invite

5) Now they need to sign up

6) They can edit my doc

I'm not a paying customer (or even a user... I just heard of this), so take this with a grain of salt, but what I'd love to see is a super-friction-less way for me to share a doc and make it editable without others needing accounts. Cut out as many steps as possible above. Doing this can be a great tool for marketing... what's better marketing than easily collaborating on a spreadsheet on a site that my friend is already using and that already looks very similar to tools I'm familiar with?
I don't know enough about battery chemistry to say one way or the other there. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Well for the environment you describe, there is no solution to this problem right? If you want to spawn test containers, you need a privileged container. At least I can not think of anyway to archive this without exposing the docker socket.
You have to choose the right tooling for the right job.
But many Wayland protocols are actually becoming shared. For example, Plasma 6 replaced a "-kde-shell" protocol with the standardized "layer-shell" protocol.

Not sure why you are bringing politics up. This has nothing to do with it.

We most definitely need to fully study the impacts of plastics on the human body. We don’t know the full extent of what it’s doing and it’s important we figure it out.

It’s a complicated equation that we do not fully understand. It’s easy to say just ban it but there is are a lot of other negative consequences that will come out of that decision. That’s my point, none of us know the exact outcome either way so it’s silly and all too easy to just make proclamations like yours and then sprinkle in some dementia with it. I am certain you can pull out a study that has a link between the two but I suspect we still don’t know the true origins of dementia and we do not know the full impacts of plastics on human health.

I bet you don’t even know the source of microplastics fully. I sure don’t. For all I know it is from car tires that makes it into the water ways and we eventually drink it or consume meat that has drunk it.

We don’t know the equation enough to know what concerns we should weight heavier on a global/population scale.
From the study the article is about: "participants who had recovered from Covid-19 in whom symptoms had resolved in less than 4 weeks or at least 12 weeks had similar small deficits in global cognition as compared with those in the no–Covid-19 group".

So no, it doesn't apply to everyone that has ever caught covid. It's only (allegedly) people who had multiple months of "symptoms" post-covid that had a change in cognitive ability.
Is there a reason why the bagel/donut shape seems to appear so much in math/physics? Just yesterday I was watching a kurzgesagt video that explored the idea of the universe being a "hyperdonut", or something. There probably isn't a simple answer but I'd appreciate any attempt to explain it in laymen's terms.

Dongles are great but supercharger cables are relatively short, we're going to see Fords blocking multiple chargers in various ways so they can connect. There's usually only one pull-in spot.
This is for access to compatible 250kW Supercharges. There are a lot of them, but it is a subset of the total Supercharger network. [1]

If you check the Find Us map and select "Superchargers Open to NACS" then you will see which ones are compatible and their associated 'Charging Fees for NACS EVs' rates.

I think as long as you can expose the docker socket (should also be possible in gitlab) you can use dood. Dind has never worked out for me. Sooner or later there will be issues.
The problem here is the

[2] Buffer[X]. available = Y

There is no explicit nor implicit ordering between 1 and 2, so the compiler or cpu can reorder them. You need a release barrier between the two.

Also while most CPUs preserve the control dependency, not all do (famously Alpha), and certainly not compilers. You would need a consume barrier, except that c++11 consume is only for data dependencies and unimplemented anyway.

Edit: with the correct barriers in place, you can prove correctness by similitude to two size 1 SPSC queues used to exchange a mutual exclusion token, with the added quirk that as the queues are never used at the same time, they can actually be physically colocated in memory.
I found an instance of infinity in real life.

Weird as it sounds, put a mirror in front of another, same size and shape better. The reflection will vound "infinitely" from one mirror to the other creating a "never-ending" effect of mirrors inside other mirrors.

In my university gym changing rooms there were two mirrors in front of each other like that.

First time I saw it it kept me thinking about infinity :D

The “rip everything out” step is not recommended. You will break things you don’t understand, invoke Chesterson’s Fence, and create enormous amounts of unnecessary work for yourself.

Make it compile, automate what you can, try not to poke the bear as much as you can, pray you can start strangling it by porting pieces to something else over time.
Nginx is the most popular webserver used on the internet, it's used by major CDN so it is even more battle tested.

I don't see a reason why there would be a mass adoption of Pingora since it's just a proxy and there are other very rock solid solutions with more features. ( Nginx and HAProxy ).

Pingora only fits Cloudflare needs.
Also consider pop-shell which is a fork of GNOME with tiling built-in. However, I'm not sure about its future since PopOS is switching to COSMIC DE in the next release.

Here's my take as a person with two linguistics degrees, one of which had a big computational focus on historical change:

The person who constructed the languages eschewed using the literary influences because he didn't believe that the phonemic inventory would be consistent over tens of thousands of years due to prior information that we have about diachronic change in language families.

What he fails to take into account is the fact that the wide availability of audiovisual distribution of language has a conservational effect that we've not really seen before. So for instance, while there is a large variety of English dialects in the US, "Broadcast English" and "General American" are quite stable and broadly available.

What they've done with the constructed languages of Dune would be like if they made a new Clockwork Orange movie without any of the Nadsat dialect. It robs something from the original text, all so a hobbyist can make something internally consistent that he's personally satisfied with and that may be marketed to future consumers. That sucks.
I don’t know the exact sources and that’s what we should be studying. For all we know it’s tires to roadways to rain runoff that makes it into ground water or bodies of water that we eventually treat for drinking.

The F-150 Lightning has a charging port on the front driver's side.

Tesla Superchargers are meant to be backed in to with a read driver's side charging port.

A F-150 will need to drive in to the spot adjacent to the charger they want to use and bring the charging cable across, effectivly using 2 stalls to charge, as far as I can tell.
This is a great looking project. The combo of single binary Go-lang and the ability to package assets like css, js and html makes this a killed multi platform distributable one click run.

It might be an interesting experiment to have the UI be installable as PWA and thereby not need the electron stack to achieve the common functionality offered by these apps.
From what I remember (that was almost almost 10 years ago, so a bit foggy now), it was some finance/trading people (the crazier stuff is always from finance people) that were doing some optimization work and found they had better performance by putting back the values in the macro itself and rerunning it. Something to that effect. (Or was it for versioning? I forgot the details honestly)

I think they were using file system calls with some tools to rewrite the file directly. But IIRC it's possible to do it just via the API.

I don't think Apple TV+ has a fixed brand aesthetic for their sci-fi shows. They seem to currently be the streamer most focused on variety of aesthetics for sci-fi shows. The retro-future of "Hello Tommorrow" was very different from that of "For All Mankind'. "Foundation" seems very different yet again from both of those. I have a hard time comparing "Severance" to much anything else in TV. Even on the grim/dark/grimy side they've got shows like "See" and "Silo". At least in terms of sci-fi shows I don't think there is a single "sci-fi brand" they are cultivating, they seem to be buying whatever interesting stuff they come across regardless of aesthetic. So far as a sci-fi fan I've found their variety refreshing in contrast to some of the other streamers.
Trailing 10 year performance is a standard reporting metric used to facilitate risk-and-return decisions in an uncertain world.

Here it serves to simply add weight to an argument that expecting a 5% annual return for invested endowment funds is reasonable and supported by historical evidence.

I'm surprised that things like this don't happen more often. It seems like uploading malicious binaries to npm or other registries would be fairly easy.

While not as easy as an appstore, the modern Docker ecosystem IMO has made self hosting web apps at home super cheap/easy.

Use your old PC, a Raspberry Pi, an EC2 instance, whatever you like, a single small Docker Compose file with Watchtower for auto-updating the container image when new one published etc. I've got self-hosted services that have ran untouched for years this way at home from a handful of lines of YML. Docker Compose will also take care of restarting the service on reboot/powercut if thats a concern.

Given the ubiquity of container images, you can run largely any web application this way and the container image likely already exists - this project also has a Dockerfile and would run fine this way too.
Probably. It'll get worse as different manufacturers gain access. This change is about ubiquity, and Tesla knows it may make things less convenient for current Tesla owners.
After watching the video I'm left wondering how k2pilot would respond to the analysis. Is the idea that you could use these jet engines as part of a vertical takeoff?
Would there be value in distinguishing -0 and +0? If a 0 was quantized from a small negative or a small positive, it seems like retaining the sign is better than forgetting it.

Misleading headline. Here's what Gemini has promised:

I am surprised that both this and the previous version state an operating temperature only down to -30C. If it really does stop working at that temperature, that would definitely be a problem for me. It regularly gets colder than that where I live, including just a couple days ago. I would want to know that it worked down to -40C before going this route.
