Industry has the same issue, mutatis mutandis. The company across the backyard from me has a five- and six-floor complex of buildings close next to one of the central transport hubs, where it makes hightech radio parts. A nice central place to work, but not even nearly big enough to generate significant renewable power.

The school in the next street is similar: Five floors, very central, but that site will neither generate sun or wind power. It was rebuilt recently. If it were to generate it own power, that renovation would have been a a relocation to one of those spread-out lowrise buildings in suburbia.

Uses the VT100 RIS escape code to ask the terminal to reset itself. But first it send an empty OSC escape to reset the terminals VT parser back to normal mode, so that the RIS escape code is parsed correctly. No need to depend on any external utilities like tput or the reset binary. This should work with any halfway decent terminal emulator.

I think there's a significant distinction, at least among younger generations: memes like "old man yells at cloud" (or "surprised pikachu") aren't used to make you laugh. It may produce a short smile sometimes or it may have made you chuckle the first time you saw it but it's so widely known at this point that it acts more like a shorthand for a shared cultural context. The "KEKW" emote the article mentions falls into this category: yes, it's used as a reaction but like an emoji it's neither to be understand literally (you're not literally cry laughing like a dolphin) nor is it meant to be hilarious, it represents that specific reaction - and more likely than not in an ironic way.

I've seen older people (elder Gen X and beyond) belly laugh at "stale" memes and even multiple iterations of the same meme template but not so much for younger people (young Millenials and below), the same way you wouldn't laugh at a Shakespearean metaphor that has become a regular turn of phrase. I think on the whole, thanks to the evolution of memes on social media (e.g. the entire iterations of "deep frying" that went through various forms of maximalism, minimalism, absurdism and deconstruction, e.g. "Steamed Hams but ordered by phonemes") many younger people don't think of memes as "jokes" as much as "toys" to experiment with as a form of self-expression. I think there may be another generational divide between Millenials and Gen Z where Millenials will more readily use memes and "GIFs" as a form of canned reply but I'm too out of touch to analyze that further.
Are they continuing to accept your EU payment method after 30 days? Then they're still doing business with you in the EU and the DMA should still apply.
> It's the business case that failed.

They failed technically and in business.

Their lunch success rate was far to late and the rockets they built were always behind what the market actually demanded. They moved from rocket model to rocket model and never managed to stable produce any of them.

> Mass-produced expendable rockets was a brilliant idea prior to SpaceX.

No it wasn't. Their whole idea of 'its fine if half the rockets fail' doesn't actually work. There are not enough payloads to mass-produce rockets (specially small rockets). Its a total misunderstanding of the economics of mass manufacture to think this was gone get the price low enough.

> It would have worked two decades ago.

No it wouldn't have. Because a decade ago they would not have gotten the money for so many failed launches in the first place. Its only because SpaceX and RocketLab proved the viability, that companies like Astra got the money to even attempted what they did.

The reason why they survived as long as they did is because the were able to SPAC when the market was high.

The readability is Astra was a technical failure of a company. The only success they had was because their CEO was good at twitter and selling the company.
From my experience, the list of new terminals IS always growing.

Wayland? A developer wanting to flex their Rust or Go muscles? Poor Unicode or RTL support? Slow buffer? "I can GPU accelerate the terminal"? Tiling? Dropdown on tilde? Keypress customization? Better cross-platform compatibility? Sixel support? "We're a trendy yet ancient mega-corp that now supports open source please use our cloud product"? ... all reasons I've seen a new terminal or three.

Last night, I ssh'd into a server that had a huge TERM list but alacritty was not on it, so I had no dircolors even when using --color=always. The only reason I'm even using alacritty is due to my last terminal not working well on new hardware.

I don't have a better solution. Obviously the terminal should self-report its capabilities and everyone writes software respecting those, but that ship has sailed, so we're stuck with QWERTY as a keyboard layout (or whatever your country collectively uses; FR, DACH, etc), x86 as an architecture, and TERM as a variable.
We should just use analog circuit for this sort of thing where the exact precision doesn't matter.

Fine, but we are on another level: once the code is right, maintainability becomes important. As long as the code is wrong, fix it and just pray that your code survives long enough for another soul to get a look at it!

Affordable Wheel Based Refreshable Braille Display
I learned this in a circuits class I took back in college, around 1984. Specifically, it was about amplifier circuits an op-amp design. Such designs are a puzzle of tradeoffs, and the teacher emphasized that often the "optimal" design is an inferior design in the light of real world constraints.

The globally optimal point on whatever thing we were optimizing might indeed be the highest peak of the graph, but if it is a sharp peak, any deviation in the voltage, temperature, or the real world values of the components would put the operating point far down the slope of that peak.

It was much better to find a reasonable operating point that had low sensitivity to voltage/temperature/component values but had acceptable behavior (gain, noise, whatever was important).

The surprising thing I learned from that class is that even though resistor and capacitor values and the gain of individual transistors of IC op-amps is an order of magnitude worse than for discrete designs, the matching of those terrible components was an order of magnitude better than for discrete components. Designers came up with many clever ways to take advantage of that to wring terrific performance from terrible components.

For example, say the nominal value of a given resistor in the design might be 4K ohms, and in the discrete design they might be 2%, or 1%, or 0.5% off (the ones with tighter tolerance get ever more expensive), while in the monolithic design the tolerance might be +/- 20%. But all the resistors would be off by the same amount and would match each other to a fraction of a percent, even across temperature and voltage variations.

The other funny effect is that when you buy a discrete 2% tolerance resistor, the distribution isn't gaussian around the mean. That is because the manufacturers have measured all of them and the ones within 0.5% get marked up and put in the 0.5% bin, and the remaining ones within 1% tolerance get marked up less and get put in the 1% bin. As a result, the distribution is bimodal on either side of the "hole" in the middle.
> ; it was not suggestion that Toriyama Akira's work could be improved (i.e. by being less male centric).

Why is it bad to have a male centric story? Diversity means that we have some male centric stories, some female centric stories, and some stories with both. You don't "improve" things by making everything more similar, you just remove diversity.
>What we are seeing are the exact same consequences of the Versailles agreement after WW1, with Germany becoming more and more radicalized because of the extreme economic conditions until a deranged lunatic came to power. This didn't repeat after WW2 exactly because, instead of occupying the defeated countries or imposing harsh economic penalties (both of which Israel did to Palestine after the war) we helped them build up.

You're missing some stuff. In Germany, the Allies didn't just build them up economically and hope for the best, they carried out a strong de-Nazification campaign to basically brainwash everyone out of the Nazi ideology that they had brainwashed themselves into. It wasn't like the Germans suddenly all realized they were wrong and horrible and their racist ideology was bad. This is the same reason the US tried similar de-Baathification after defeating Iraq.

For something similar to happen in Gaza, Israel needs to completely and utterly defeat the ruling government there, then use military forces to occupy the land and create a military government for a while until a civilian government, completely controlled by Israel, can be set up. Meanwhile, they have to control education and teach the Gazans, forcefully (i.e., no free-speech allowed), that their ideology is wrong (along with their interpretation of their Islamic religion). Anyone who publicly supports the atrocities of Hamas get to go to prison. (In Germany, denying the Holocaust or supporting the Nazi government is a criminal offense, remember.)

Is this really what you want?

>You do know that the vast majority of Muslim people live in countries that don't have any higher hatred of the USA than the average person, right? The largest Muslim country is ... So religion has nothing to do with this.

First, this isn't about the USA, it's about Israel vs. Gaza. The people in Gaza hate Israel.

Secondly, talking about Indonesia is like equating Catholics and Protestants, when they've historically hated each other and had wars. They might all be "Muslims" to you, but they're not the same and their beliefs aren't the same. Looking at the last century, it's pretty obvious that Middle Eastern Muslims are not happy about having a Jewish-dominated country in their midst. They aren't even happy about having different kinds of Muslims living around them, which is why they've had so many Sunni vs Shia wars, or ISIS who hated everyone who wasn't as ridiculously extremist as themselves.

> can only see it through your cultural lens

Thanks for this. I read this as you presuming me to be a Westerner Social Justice Warrior making gender progressive criticism. Rereading my comment, I can see how it may be interpreted this way interpreted.

To be clear, my original comment was not a criticism of Toriyama Akira, nor a suggesting Japan needs to be more gender progressive. The fact that people project this issue and respond so defensively is an indicator that gender issues remain a thorn in Japan.

> According to Shonen jumps own statistics, about 40% of their readers are women

Do they report if 40% of their executives or artists are women?

In general, we shouldn't take a company or institutions words at face value and look at what they actually do. According to China Evergrande and FTX's own sheets, they had health balance sheets. By China and Japan's own statistics, they have conflicting numbers on geopolitical matters.

I'm not saying Shonen Jump is in the same group as shady companies, but they are a for profit organization. Of course they are increasingly financially incentivized to not limit their customer base. If they were serious about being universal, they can change their name. Let's not evade around the fact that Shonen doesn't literally means 'boy'. I'm not suggesting that Shonen Jump needs to change their name, I'm just saying if they actually cared about gender equality, other then profiting off half the population, you'd see this reflected more.

Even if this cherry picked statistic is true, there could be more to it. I acknowledge Shonen Jump is increasing its female reader base, but that doesn't mean the bulk of their content is male centric. Maybe there's one series that appeals to female audience.

> They are very well aware of that fact and takes that in to account when they accept new series in to the magazine.

So I'm not wrong to suggest that the industry and company has been, atleast historically, male centric?

> have a theme, which explicitly is "friendship, effort and victory"

It seems most of the victories are through physical combat. From my western "cultural lens", that's usually a sign of male centricity.

Would love to see a statistic on what percentage of Shonen Jump's readers are 60 year old ladies.

> I think you're down voted because you have a shallow understanding of the topic... don't fully understand how the Manga culture

My understanding is shallow because the subject is not deep. It's only complex if you to do mental gymnastics to defend and explain away Japan's male patriarchy.

Since you want to portray that culture is more progressive then it is, and it is I who is ignorant to how progressive the culture is, can you enlighten me why all female artist collectives like this exist? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clamp_(manga_artists). Are there major publishing houses ran by such groups of women?

> (and somehow think mentioning that on a post he died, is appropriate)

I never criticized Toriyama Akira. It is people who are projecting gender progressive issues

Apple Maps would be my preference too. UI is much better, map design much better, turn by turn is better etc. The only area it stumbles is business listings. For Google I can see lots of reviews, opening hours that are accurate even on holidays, how busy the location is, photos etc. Apple Maps doesn't even come close in this regard and sadly it's the main reason I use a mapping app. Apple should have started building this out from the start - integrating with Yelp which was a mistake (it was DOA even back then for countries outside the US).
So it should just take longer..

Interesting. So, the idea doesn’t matter.

What a weird conclusion. You are more likely to get a high paying job as a professional athlete if you have won a lot of tournaments, and you are more likely to win a lot of tournaments if you’re a highly paid professional athlete. So they conclude “Oh, so skill in the sport doesn’t matter?”

"Major" is sufficient to remove an aircraft from service.

Globally:

According to ACRO, recent years have been considerably safer for aviation, with fewer than 170 incidents every year between 2009 and 2017, compared to as many as 226 as recently as 1998. {1}

Tires falling off of a passenger plane isn't "major", nor is it common - it's a rare occcurence, one that should never happen, and something that has the potential to cost lives.

Why are reports being submitted now?

It's only recently become common knowledge that various aircraft companies that were once the pinnacle of safety practices (eg: Boeing) are now relatively rotten to the core and troubled with cost cutting practices and a lack of safety culture.

> Some UI designers think animations are good, but they are not

Imho animations are not a problem in cases where they do not affect latency. For example a visual click feedback to tell the user that it was registered & is being processed makes sense, especially for situations where the task may take a while. For example Mac OS' "eject drive" button would benefit from this, it has zero visual click feedback while ejecting the drive can take a whole minute for some reason. Yet at the same time Apple simply refuses to remove the 1 second long workspace switch animation even if blocked in the accessibility settings, they only swap the swiping animation with a fading animation.

The problem is that often designers simply don't put any thought into it other than "make it smooth and look nice".

In cases where the animation affects latency between user input and reaction to it there is no animation speed that's fast enough. It will always feel like wading through a swamp.
