The issue with that setup is that it takes a lot more to get it to work, and its never a guarantee. I used to run Solidworks under Wine and it took some researching to setup. Proton has gotten better, but when a game releases, its never really a guarantee that it will work right out of a box. Some of the games that are 4 years old at this point are still silver.

Whereas if you go with Windows and WSL2, everything just works with a lot less setup. WSL2 also has an x server now, which means graphical applications work under Windows.

For laptops, linux is the way to go because of i3wm, nothing as good as that exists for mac or windows, and because they are more resource constrained, you can do more tinkering and disable a bunch of things to speed up the system. For desktops however, the only reason I want linux is to do development, which pretty much only requires a file system and a linux terminal, which WSL2 with VSCode Remote SSH extension provides fully.

Conversely I have never had this problem with Nix. It tells you plainly how to clean up garbage. It's easy to interrogate to find out what's hanging around, and why. The reason it's not on by default is that, like any garbage collector, it can be disruptive -- there is no "one size fits all" policy.

There are actual mass timber projects to look at. The article mentions one in Milwaukee. I am familiar with the T3 project [0].

There is some interesting engineering in a compound double acting engine[1], especially one like the Doble which runs on superheated steam. There's a large temperature gradient between the "hot side" and the "cold side" where the hot side is something like 1250°F+. IIRC they had to be careful about getting the correct cast iron alloys, and the bores had to be slightly tapered. Then there's the valve train, which is totally different from an IC engine but sizing and flow considerations are still really important for efficiency.

Also, your crossheads and bottom end bearings are potentially an area of concern--while rotational speeds are really low by modern engine standards, there's a problem of figuring out how to remove water from the lube oil.

So I'd wager there's still a whole bunch of "interesting" things happening in the Doble engine, and we'd probably have a pretty difficult time building one from scratch today given that reciprocating steam engines haven't been "a thing" in industrial living memory.

[1] For one example of an interesting problem: for a given temperature of inlet steam and desired power output, in a double expansion double-acting compound engine, tell me what size the hot cylinder will be, what size the cold cylinder will be, and what the clearances, rings, etc will be to make it all work efficiently across the operating envelope.

You'd have to be incredibly naive to think China wouldn't use TikTok to influence American discourse.
Can you expand on what you mean by "installing a botnet"?

As a term of art, a botnet refers to a collection of computing devices that can be controlled remotely. I am not aware of any such capability in TikTok itself. Presumably they could attempt to offer a new version of TikTok that allowed arbitrary remote execution or one-time behavior, but this would need to get past Apple's app review process and would be subject to pretty immediate rollback.

Like if they wanted to use the install base of TikTok to perform a DDoS against an adversary, that would pretty much be a one-shot deal, after which it would be shut down.

Unless you're using botnet in a different sense, in which case this is irrelevant but I would recommend using a different word in this case ("propaganda engine" maybe) to avoid carrying along the connotations.
From the article:

> Radia estimates the larger turbines could reduce the cost of energy by up to 35% and increase the consistency of power generation by 20% compared with today’s onshore turbines.

Not sure what that translates to in terms of energy output over time.

As for the sibling "Why not airships?" question, the article says:

Yes, but this is (IMO) just one of the important reasons that one manager should not have 58 direct reports.

Now, maybe this is fine for someone who manages other executives, where the primary touch points can be, like quarterly budget and strategy reports or something (I honestly have no idea what people like this do day to day, so I'm totally guessing on this...).

But out near the "leaves" of an org, managers exist to support their reports who are doing work day to day, and they can't do that if they have too many reports to spare any time for 1:1s with them.

I think PMs having a bunch of 1:1s, likely comprised mostly of status updates that could be done asynchronously, is a different problem, that we likely agree about.

But managers should have few enough reports that they're able to support them. If their reports want to cancel their 1:1s because they don't have anything to discuss, that's fine, but being unable to get on the schedule regularly is a problem, IMO.
So it can't generalise to other tasks? Then how is this much more than overfitting text/image input to controller output?

No, the whole reason this is happening is it distracts us from more serious issues such as Chinese labor practices. If politicians can "take China seriously" by banning TikTok they don't need to talk about barring import of products made using forced labor, say.

Flagged for just plain inaccuracy in the headline. The bill does not ban TikTok.
As I said, they are not banning listening to the speech on Tik Tok videos. If someone makes a mirror of all TikTok videos and posts it on Peertube, it is totally fine to listen to it.

They are banning one delivery mechanism. Not the content.
Why do you imagine that point has any relevance?

The brand I mentioned above that is without (too many?) additives is Kallo:

https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/products/kallo-organic-vegetab...

They also have chicken and beef cubes. I have to correct my earlier comment though, now that I look at the ingredients again: it's not 0 salt. The page above lists 0.1g per 100ml of stock, so once hydrated. It's a bit annoying they don't tell you exactly how much salt is in the cube itself, only in the stock. Apologies. I remembered it as being 0 salt.

The other brand that I ended up not using because it looked to me like it had too many additives is Knorr, who also have veg, chicken and beef stocks and list 0g salt per 100ml of stock:

I don't think it's fair to complain about the cost of solar if it's not required.

Reproducible development environment, I'm very enthusiastic about it and have been using development containers for years now, at work, they do a great job too. About a year ago, I started to hear about Nix. I was super excited at first, the promise is amazing, but the onboarding process has been awful for me. I have a defined development environment I want to achieve, but it seems I always miss something in the way it should be approached. I'm glad to see some new tooling helping to improve the overall experience.
Anyway, I keep trying and hope it will click at some point. I'm wondering, at which moment it did for you?
Sure, and no doubt people paying for speech recognition 25 years ago were finding uses for it too. It depends on your use case.

I'm not saying we should ban 4000 sq.ft. detached homes on large sprawling lots. They just shouldn't be the ONLY type of home being built. Give people options so they can choose.

In fact, if you want to have that beautiful home surrounded by nature and not suburban cookie cutter houses, then it's also in your interest to see that cities stay in the cities. Too many orchards and farms have been demolished to build miserable tracts of poorly constructed wood frame houses.
Your point is that freedom of speech is not freedom to read. I sincerely disagree.
Bingo, media is really one of those sectors where PRC has assymetric advantage in exploiting western corporations vs western corp in PRC will never get PRC media filtering to budge. Hence TikTok ban/divestment is really about just pushing TikTok out of US/or world with app ban, there's too much risk to a mediated outcome where PRC can still exert assymetric influence.
Congress can do both.

> In an ideal world, such data-harvesting might lead to cheaper prices / a more efficient insurance market - which would make the privacy loss worth considering from a trade-off standpoint, at least in theory.

In an ideal world (read: perfect information knowledge), this would lead to insurance being a bad deal for every consumer of it. In the theoretical position where insurance companies can accurately price each individual customer based on their habits, they will charge them exactly what they cost _plus_ a margin.

This is only useful for a consumer if they cannot access cash or a credit line to pay for a sudden large expense. Instead, insurance effectively becomes paying the credit line ahead of time.

> As I understand it, the software performed exactly as designed

This is very likely correct.

People on HN don't seem to understand how software is created in regulated industries outside the tech bubble.

In a complex system such an aircraft, the behavior of the system is modeled and detailed requirements are generated.

These models are created by the system engineers.

The models and requirements are then handed off to the software engineers to implement the modeled behaviour in code.

The software is then tested to see if the behaviour matches the models.

So it doesn't matter how much the SWEs were paid, if the software met the requirements, and implemented the models as designed, then the software engineers did their jobs.
