Most people who die won't have a chance to say goodbye.

If you have children, I encourage you assemble an "oops, I died" kit for them, not just with legal papers, but with long goodbye letters. If they're younger, make a letter for now and a letter for when they are adults.

I also made letters for important people in my life so that my survivors can hand them out to them.

I try to update these once a year accompanied by a good bottle of wine. I have updated my ex-wife's letter several times. It gets shorter every year.
Video is helpful to show the nature of the bug, and HN is a good place for people who might have an idea as to its cause. I also don't know if the bug is in the codec itself, or in FFmpeg.
Additionally, being asexual is 'wrong' in a life / procreation sense. It's a kind of dead-end personality trait.

(I'm specifically not saying 'wrong' for existing in society or having value to offer the world and, actually, if environmental factors make a difference to this sort of thing, then asexuality could well be increasingly common as a response to the state of the world vis-a-vis climate change and resource usage and all the other bad things humanity hath wrought)
1 in 952? Sounds nice. I got 1 in 510! :/ (41 year-old male in Canada). My wife, who is one year older than me gets 1 in 1000. Adding the fact that most of my father's side of the family died "young" (ex: my father passed away from brain cancer that hit us all by surprise at age 66) doesn't have me feeling all warm and cozy.

But yeah, when people tell others to slow down, take their time, there is no rush ... um, no. Time is precious and short-lived. Make the most of it. Spend as much of it as possible doing things you love, and as little of it as possible on things you don't.

I mean, they did overwrite it.

I would argue that video of a maintenance cycle should be kept at the very least until the next maintenance cycle. Then if something is overwritten, you still have the data.

Anything earlier than that is willful neglect at best.

Depend on the industry. In the aerospatial's case, a year of backup for maintenance raw data doesn't seems absurd, even if it cost a bit more.

When working in an environment where there are serious consequences to being late, everyone has an easier time accepting that hard choices have to be made to get a solution out the door before the deadline. The paradigm shifts from “we want this particular solution, how long will it take?” to “we have this hard deadline, how can we solve it?”.
They performed an in-ship fuel transfer, from one chamber to another. My understanding is that this is a very important pre-requisite for an actual transfer from one ship to another, because of the need to keep the fuel at cryogenic temperatures during the transfer, which is apparently not easy. Last time it was done was decades ago, but in kilograms. SpaceX just demoed a transfer of tons of fuel.
To a very mild degrees, yes. If women feel themselves stuck in a society dominated by a one-dimensional, "war of the sexes" worldview, and their voting choices are similarly crap - then their less-bad option will kinda tend to look like "vote left-wing".

But (per Wikipedia) the "womens' vote" in the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election was 54:41 for Clinton:Trump. Suggesting that any worldview or analysis that tries to treat women as some sort of monolith is utterly delusional.

Or maybe the pro-war factions on each side could try to reclassify women who voted "the wrong way" as "WINO's"?

EDIT: If this is insufficiently obvious - "to a very mild degree" refers to the voting patterns of women. Vs. all the rhetoric which seems to portray women as a monolith (which is blatantly counter-factual).

No need to be skeptical of children that are diagnosed. It is often (and I am speaking solely about boys, just as you do) quite obvious if you are trained in recognising those markers. This doesn't mean all are found and the current training is severely lacking in recognising symptoms for girls.

Regardless, yes it is often described by others and those who are not diagnosed with ADHD as " just not being able to focus". This simplification misses out on a whole scala of symptoms and experiences.

As for the medication, it is true that it is sometimes mis/abused by some students. One thing to realize is that for those who have ADHD drugs and the stuff may have completely different effects on the person. Uppers making some people sleepy for example.
Lastly children are often not given those drugs you mention but alternative without those side effects.
I don't think this is the right way to look at this data.

It's a probability distribution you have a certain % of probability to die each year, which grows and peaks around the distribution peak.
If nothing else, the comments here show me that we need a new word to describe people on the "sociopath spectrum" who intellectually decide to not be evil.

There is a reason ASPD requires the anti-social element to be diagnosable, but it seems we lack a popular word to describe ASPD without the AS. Psychopathy and sociopathy have too much cultural baggage because everyone thinks of extreme cases like American Psycho, or the most overt narcissistic sociopaths they've personally interacted with.

There is a whole class of people on the sociopath spectrum who go unnoticed because they're just better at hiding it and living normal lives, even if they don't feel emotions as strongly (or at all) compared to most people, they can decide to intellectually value other peoples experiences and simulate it.

I suspect there's also a lot of overlap with high functioning autism, where intellect and desire to model people accurately can make up for emotional hardware / mirror neuron deficiencies.

If we had less polarizing language to describe the spectrum of non-evil sociopathy, more people in this category would feel safe publicly describing their experiences, and the discourse wouldn't be dominated by grifters and subsequent backlash.

I think it's good to accept people on this spectrum as long as they chose to not be evil (and succeed at it), it is pointless judge people on their own internal experience of the world if it's not affecting others! They have every right to find community and support structures, and work towards integrating healthily with society, just like those with BPD, autism, bipolar, etc.
It works if you're a black hole or a chunk of degenerate matter. For transatmospheric orbits being a large ball of iridium will work too.
Oh, thanks, I think I see. Before we had to think about mobile, any web page that wasn't just a block of text (e.g. inline images, side bars, etc) had bad/broken layout at small widths. Instead of waiting for the whole world to fix their websites, mobile browsers just shrank them a bit. The browser couldn't distinguish between a website that looked good and bad on mobile, so it shrank all of them. And because the web is inherently a slave to backwards compatibility, it's that way forever now.

Mobile browsers do the shrinking by messing with viewport defaults, so we fix it by re-applying those defaults.

I think the MDN doc's only mistake was describing "device-width" as "100% viewport width", since that seems like circular logic.

Ah, I understand. This is just a Discord competitor, then? Given the title of the piece and the comment I quoted, I think I was just expecting something very different and reading things through a mistaken lens.
What I get from that comment is sociopaths are not motivated by evil behaviors. And so the comment aims to differentiate sociopaths from those who are out to kill and destroy.
I would suggest reading some more ancient history to get a larger view of the great accomplishments of the west and you might feel a little different. Some of them are:

Abolition of slavery world wide (almost everywhere)

Women liberation

The rule of law and not men

Great advances in medicine reducing suffering (anesthesia and surgery, vaccines)

Birth mortality going from 50% of children dying in 1800 to about 1% today

Maternal mortality going from 5 per 1000 to .1 per 1000

The average person being able to own their own private coach (car) and eat like the kings of old

Universal education

Space exploration

Of course there are many things to improve. Let's get at it.

I grew up in the 90s in Marseille, in the very south of France. At school we had 2 hours lunch break and it was great to have so much time to play outside and all, but now that I think of it: it was in Marseille, it was virtually always sunny and warm, I really don't know how it was for kids in other part of France where it rains and/or it's cold quite often.

What I remember from that time too is that at the commercial center of my neighborhood the lunch break was four hours, from 12h to 16h. In summer it was because it was too hot to really do anything during these hours anyway, but it was also the case in the winter and that has always puzzled me, even as a child.
Watching a lot of American television, I'm normally OK, but what got me recently in connections is that apparently Jelly Beans are associated with Easter in the USA... that was a completely new revelation to me.
Yeah, breaking up in-air during re-entry (at 65 km going by last telemetry) seems like a potential big issue to fix.

> -Order of magnitude smaller coefficient of thermal expansion.

On the other hand the thermal expansion of water does not matter because water, you know, is a liquid -- it conforms to whatever vessel you put it in.

> -No real risk of phase change - freezing or boiling.

In a vessel that is meant to store thousands of tonnes of water that is hot and that is very well insulated to store energy for months, there is no real danger that the water will freeze. On the boiling side, water make it easy to monitor the temperature and you just stop adding energy if it starts boiling. Your kettle can do that reliably, we can do this for a huge battery.

> No problems with corrosion/scale in high temperature

It is hard to put 5 thousand tonnes of sand in a container and ensure it is dry. There is always going to be water that will be evaporating when you heat the sand in the middle and condensing on the sides that are cold.

There is no possibility of scale when you do not heat water to boiling.

> Sand is great because it's largely inert in a huge range of temperatures.

Crushed rock will release water when heated up.
No, I don’t agree. It appears to slow down simply because the complexity is growing so fast that even though we are accelerating our ability the relative sophistication of play is worse than the prior. But we aren’t slowing down in the least, we are tackling extremely difficult challenges with advances that are accelerating rapidly in their capability.

they consistently produce some of the best engineers and scientists in the world

All countries are capable to turning out a handful of amazing engineers and scientists each year from their top percentile students, almost no matter how terrible their school system is overall, so that in itself is pretty uninteresting. Is there any evidence that they are turning out significantly more of them that the rest of the OECD?

The other, more interesting, metric is how are their 50th percentile students doing, or their 25th or their 10th percentile students.

Sure PISA might to be a great metric, but just focusing how well the very brightest students in the country do is a far worse metric.
I'm in my 30s. It's not so much ageism, but my employability is much lower than it was in the past. Now I have a family (higher benefit costs, less off hours support), I am not able to learn things as quickly, and I've lost a lot of motivation since past grinding never paid off.

So yeah, my age is a problem, but it's not ageism.
As someone pointed out the inflation over the last 20 years wasn't 300%+.

90% of a mammal’s energy output is in the form of climate control, not movement.

The variable not factored in is the average ambient temperature. Americans of yesteryear shivered in winter months and sweltered in summer months.

Today, that work has been outsourced to heat pumps, gas furnaces, and refrigerated air systems.

I discovered regular workouts removed my extreme discomfort with it being cold inside. I may not enjoy it being 55 degrees, but it’s not painful like it used to be. I suspect most Americans would find the same.
Sure, I do that sometimes. The effect rounds to zero, but better than nothing?

> It does mean they technically have an expendable heavy launch vehicle though.

That is how they started using Falcon 9 as well: first expendable but testing recovery - which failed several times in several interesting ways - until that process was refined into what now seems to be a normal thing: the first stage launches, drops off a second stage, turns around and makes its way back to either the launch site or a floating platform. I assume they have the same plans for this system: launch expendable while using the hardware to refine the process of recovery until in not that many years from now they launch and land and launch again.
Wouldn't it be more likely that maintaining backwards compatibility (an important Windows trait, after all) while also implementing all of Powershell would be a considerably more difficult task than just making a new scripting environment?
Central Europe was the place of a lot of complex belligerence at the time. Given his penchant for humor, I'm not surprised that he was a commissar. 'The Bolshevik Party established political commissars in 1918 to control and improve morale in the military forces." For all I know it could've been for self-preservation.

I'm not trying to be an apologist for him. Rather, I'd like to encourage people to learn a bit more about him and his environment before jumping to conclusions based on a single point in his life.
But then he got a promotion. So it was a calculated bet that paid off.
-> But it also takes aim at “parts pairing,” or the practice of preventing you from replacing device parts without the approval of a company or its restrictive software. Apple, which routinely uses this practice to try and monopolize repair, lobbied extensively against the Oregon bill. As usual, under the (false) claim that eliminating parts pairing would put public safety and security at risk:

-> “We remain very concerned about the risk to consumers imposed by the broad parts-pairing restrictions in this bill,” John Perry, principal secure repair architect for Apple, said at a legislative hearing last month.”

There was a time when interpreting the “risk to consumers” as a risk of being prevented from gouging consumers would be cynical. Now I guess something like that occurred to the lawyers.
I was surprised that during the initial ascent footage from the fin-cam, you can see that the grid fins are out. Do they not fold back on ascent? Or possibly drag on one side to arc over? Just seems weird to have your “drag device” deployed during ascent.

Great question! We take hardening of our build infrastructure very seriously, and helped build many of the OSS technologies in this space like the SLSA framework and the Sigstore project.

We produce SBOMs during the build process, and cryptographically sign SLSA-formatted provenance artifacts depicting the entire build process so you can trace a built container all the way back to the sources it was built from.

We also try to make as much of our build system reproducible as possible (but we're not all the way there yet), so you can audit or rebuild the process yourself.

Not 50 years ago. See SLS for example. NASA is paying $146m PER engine (and the rocket has four, and fuel tanks, avionics , an upper stage, fairings, two solid rocket boosters ... ). An entire Falcon Heavy launch is <$100 million.
Well, probably a bit hard to remember things when you've got brainworms.

Maybe there were good intentions in the beginning and path was truly a good one, but not for a nanosecond do I believe they really made it 100%. Phone is simply not a secure device, doesn't matter who manufactures it, period. Neither are all the networks used to connect anywhere.

They have a great pipeline for building ships. They want reusability, but for near-term needs like deploying bigger Starlink satellites and their moon lander contract they could probably power through without reentry survival. It would be expensive, but unlike in-orbit refueling not really mission critical
My system is designed to handle large amounts of data. For example, it might have a relational table with a billion rows. The values for each column are stored in such a way that separate threads can operate on different segments of the data.

For example: if a query wants to find all addresses in an 'address' column that end in 'Avenue' and there are a billion unique addresses; then 10 separate threads might each look through 100 million values.

The code has each thread gather its own set of results and only adds them to the final result set (shared) when the search completes. The shared object only needs to be locked once by each thread as it appends its results to the list. This avoids contention that might occur if each thread tried to add a single value to the shared list as it found it.
If you're getting at revoking building codes or zoning laws, I'm all for that!

Unfortunately I don't know what an off ramp would be other than a housing crisis similar to or larger than 2007-2008. A ton of "wealth" is locked up in real estate, and more importantly in mortgage debt. That can't be gently removed or wound down, the loans would have to be allowed to fail before we can move on from this idea that taking on huge amounts of debt is an investment in our future.

> Discussing objective engineering tradeoffs is not the same as spreading FUD. It's baffling that you are so quick to shut down conversation and get combative.

What on earth are you on about ?

An assertion was made that Go stdlib was somehow "a slippery slope though and causes maintinence nightmares for mature projects".

It is a rather bizarre assertion to make, especially in relation to Go.

I am therefore merely asking for evidence of that assertion. Because, frankly, it smells of FUD and you know it.

But instead you are the one looking to shut down the conversation by not answering the perfectly reasonable questions I posed.
That's impressive revisionism. Where's the Soviet reusable launch vehicle that is half the price, is able to reuse even one stage and takes less than a month to refurbish?
A lot of that is that poor places also have poor record-keeping: https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2023/09/th...
Certainly is also plausible. All I'm saying is I hope they are investigating this very carefully. Frankly, the fact that they immediately called it self inflicted is suspicious to me. It smacks of ruling out other scenarios not on the basis of evidence.
Understood, but I'm asking how the hiring manager should be able to tell that.

Here's where I'm coming from: at every company I've worked at (besides start-ups) managers spend 2-3 months on rank-and-yank evaluations. That is an incredible amount of effort, from incredibly expensive people. But its worth it because getting the yearly evaluations right matters.

It takes so long, because its hard to do. So how, pray tell, is somebody supposed to be able to tell, just from the kind of interviews which happen today, whether they are worth more than two junior programmers or not?
