> Road noise for most modern cars at city speeds isn't loud.

If you can hear it and you're not next to the road, that's too loud. It's noise pollution. You can personally draw an arbitrary line anywhere you want to determine what counts as "loud", but the actual phenomenon is that cars make an amount of noise that is detrimental to our health, sanity, and wildlife.
I think you are very fortunate then. The number of times I have raised concerns and my warnings have been ignored ... Even when I had direct past learning or experience with the thing they want to do, I can no longer change their mind.
"which I never read about on Tom's or Ars"

Aren't those consumer websites?

The 3D printing industry is over 50 years old. And I believe metal printing has the biggest market. But those printers are super expensive. Not something an avarage consumer is going to buy.

By the way: I don't think you can buy a Carbon printer. You need a service contract so you can lease them.
My suggestion?

If you’re not sure, grab a very basic template from either Hugo, MkDocs, or GitHub pages. They’re all pretty well tested and hard to break.
> You might say that the Vatican might have “plenty of money to acquire the hardware,” but they can’t come close to competing with Google Research or OpenAI (especially when so many other things are part of its mission).

If AI research was a real priority and the Church prioritized it by not only Vatican institutions but the large number of Catholic universities, etc., I’m not sure that’s true. But its unlikely to be such a priority: its an interesting technology, sure, and likely to get some attention, but its not centrally what the Church is about.

EDIT: More relevantly to the subject here, though, the Catholic Church has been deeply engaged with questions regarding the use and role of AI; the Pontifical Academy for Life organized the “RenAIssance: For a Human-centric Artificial Intelligence” congress which produced the Rome Call for AI ethics [0] (as well as an earlier 2019 conference on AI ethics), and the Vatican subsequently established the RenAIssance Foundation [1] to carry the mission of that call forward.

Side-question but relevant (wanted to do an Ask HN about it for a while).

I have a relatively large corpus (~10k pages), and would like to augment traditional keyword search with AI. Eg: write my question and get an LLM answer *backed-up* by search and linking to the part of the corpus used.

I agree though I wouldn't say I hate Mox, rather I hate working with it (the things it does do it does well). As you say it forces you to do stupid stuff, like creating an interface for something with one implementation, but also the way you have to then add that to your configuration. I've also seen people only add "@callback" to modules, without any behaviour, because then it works with Mox.

CFM (GE + Safran) own 39%, PW has 26%, RR has 18%, GE on it's own has 16%. So together they own 99% of the market.

Honeywell and Williams don't do anything over 10k-lb thrust (that I see). UEC is russian state owned, so I don't see anyone working with them anytime soon and AVIC is chinese state owned so kinda the same deal.

If you are talking small turbofans (smaller than 10k-lb thrust) there are a variety of companies out there but as soon as you start looking for bigger stuff to power your 737 Max or 320NEO class planes, you are talking about a very exclusive club.

As an aside, I would love to see more competition, I just think it's a really tough space to enter.

I was wondering if that part should have been the main page slogan: "Soupault’s DOM manipulation is as powerful as client-side JavaScript (without interactivity, of course), but the result is a static page."

>Maybe this table of comparisons should go on the landing page

The elephant in the room is that none of the popular tools' websites make any sense to people who aren't already familiar with that class of tools. I happened to accidentally come up with a tool that's too unlike anything else to be easy to explain by "it's like {alreadyPopularTool} but with {importantDifference}".

I also hope that people from the Web 1.0 revivalist circles who hate typical SSGs for their hostility to handwritten HTML on board, although that development was ironic: the reason I included the HTML post-processor mode was to help those folks inject consistent navigation into otherwise handwritten pages or similar — in reality they just told me they were _proud_ of wasting their time on that completely automatable task, but the post-processor mode was a surprise hit with people who wanted to fix up outputs of inflexible HTML generators.

The comparison table is not very helpful for people who might not have seen an SSG before, placing it on the main page might create a confrontational tone (because it's focused on things that soupault made possible compared to other tools), and I'd have to constantly watch those projects to see if anything is no longer true.

For example, it would be pretty easy to allow Hugo call AsciiDoc and other external processes with custom CLI options — I'm sure someone will eventually do it and it will be a big improvement for those who want to use Hugo.
I think we agree with each other? Or mostly so.

ΔSLOC is just a metric, and what it measures is change to the codebase. Yes, some changes are very important, and others nearly trivial, so it's quantitive because a qualitative metric is a contradiction.

It certainly means different things in different contexts, if it's even meaningful at all. My claim is that +SLOC is entirely meaningless outside of the tautology that it measures what it is, where ΔSLOC is in fact informative about change to the software, albeit not perfectly so.

Personal story here (N=1, not claiming anything other than that). My dad is clearly ASD, and has battled high blood pressure for as long as I can remember. He's now suffering the consequences of 40 years of absolute salt avoidance. 1) I never saw and reduction in the ASD over the past 40 years, 2) lack of salt never changed his blood pressure, and 3) now he's suffering other heath effects, but won't listen to me and only wants to do more of the same.

> ER diagrams that only go one or two relationships out

Actually, SchemaSpy gives you a full diagram of the entire schema as well: it gives it to you with a truncated columns list and a full columns list per table. The "Relationships" option at the top of the page is where the full diagram is accessed.

The one & two relations out limited views are if you're getting to the diagram from the scope of a specific table... it will show you one and two relations away from the current table when using that perspective. And, as you say, you can navigate the relationships that way.

What I really like about SchemaSpy (I use it with PostgreSQL) is that I can `COMMENT ON` database objects like tables and columns using markdown and SchemaSpy will render the Markdown in it's output. Simple markdown still looks decent when viewed from something like psql, too, so it's a nice way to have documentation carried with the database.

I stand corrected for this sentence saying that SSLPv1 is open source license, it's not OSI approved [0], even if people using it claim it's open source (it was created by MondoDB IIRC and adopted by others).

From user's perspective it's open source. From provider's perspective it's not. OSI doesn't distinguish between those two, there is only user, which can be ordinary end user or provider. Because for provider it's not open source, it can't be approved OSI license.

For RSALv2 "Software" and "Modified" is not "software" and "modified". It's capitalized because it refers to terms that are provided in "Definitions" section. From there you have:

Modify, Modified, or Modification: copy from or adapt all or part of the work in a fashion requiring copyright permission other than making an exact copy. The resulting work is called a Modified version of the earlier work.

Redis: the Redis software as described in redis.io.

Software: certain Software components designed to work with Redis and provided to You under this Agreement.

Plain and simple.

It's also plain and simple to see why those things are created in the first place. It's because open source has problem with cloud where big players not involved with the project cash out on it by simply selling it as is (as managed service) and by doing it they also automatically strip original authors from any chances of competing.

This effort is targeted solely on cloud providers so original authors of the project get a chance at having viable, sustainable business model.

It's not targeted at users. It's targeted at providers.

SSLPv1 was added into dual licensing to allow open solutions to allow to exist – ie. projects that extend redis but don't monetize on it.

ps. OSI doesn't have (or will ever have?) licenses that are compatible with this new era of cloud providers because it equates end user with cloud provider. This is wrong and people will have to invent new adjectives/nouns to describe what they mean by open source contribution + not allowed to leech on us (compete with us through cloud offering without giving us a cut).

You're kind of just making stuff up here. In particular the assertion that the big bang involved a finite amount of energy is entirely unfounded.

It's not that your statement is false, but that there is absolutely no consensus on the matter.

Some physicists make strong arguments that at the big bang the total energy of the universe was 0:

Labour productivity in economics is output per labour hour, it doesn't matter what is doing the work.

Mozilla has gone all-in on talk (or "messaging") and but very little action. In some cases I would say they are actually giving people a false sense of security because despite all the claims, Firefox in its default configuration isn't actually great privacy-wise (for starters, default-on telemetry is in direct breach of the GDPR).

Mozilla could massively help non-technical people regain privacy by shipping Firefox with actually private defaults and uBlock Origin built-in (they've got the infrastructure to download Pocket on first run, so they can do the same for uBlock), but doing would actually mean "doing something" and put them at risk (I'd expect the Google money to stop the second this is released, meaning they'd need to actually start operating a real business with a real business model), where as merely writing puff pieces is safe as it doesn't really hurt anyone.
We agree about all that, so what's your contribution to the conversation exactly?
I'm sure you are familiar with Kalusa-Klein theory (knowing that it is incomplete and/or doesn't describe our universe), don't you think that motion in that theory is less bound to gravity alone like the parent comment suggests because the notion of proper time is different?

I believe the comment above is talking about the game running as a simulation within another instance of the game. Each instance of the game has a state. Game G1 has state S1, game G2 has state S2, etc. I think they're asking if there's any S1 that can be chosen so that S2 = S1.

You might need 2 or more layers, so whatever number of layers you need (if this is possible, you'd have some sequence infinite sequence (moving through layers) like (S1, S1, S1, ...) or (S1, S2, S1, S2, ...) or (S1, S2, S3, S1, S2, S3, ...).

The length of the repeating pattern (subsequence) is going to be a positive integer, so I don't think real numbers are relevant, if that's the question.
> Your liberties encompass so much more than this

You don't have a liberty from being investigated if they have evidence. They're not snooping around in your home without cause. The swatter was watching the live stream, and the timestamped IP logs can corroborate.

> the platonic ideal of a perfect manager grows a culture where if people have issues with other developers, or the organization, or is just stuck, they naturally reach out to other people.

Agreed, and this includes managers reaching out to their reports.

You're imputing an attitude to me which I neither hold nor intended to convey.

> in healthy organizations I've worked in..the whole notion of a blocker doesn't really exist.

Weird. The idea that a step in a process can't be completed before another step seems bedrock to me. It's always good to eliminate these dependencies when one can, but that isn't always possible.

> the platonic ideal of manager isn't some kind of school marm whose primary concern is figuring out when people are slacking off

Considering that should be obvious, since an ideal doesn't have negative qualities, I'm forced to conclude you're responding to a bunch of things I didn't say.
120TB of storage is 3k USD per month when using s3 in Singapore and can sustain a much higher aggregate read/write speed than their existing setup.

Like many have said, a lift and shift is never great, and imagining you need 120TB of EBS per instance then being surprised it costs a lot is rather telling about the accuracy of such estimations.

Nothing was mentioned about utilisation - like basically everything, services follow a utilisation trend across a given time period. This assumes 100% used capacity at all times.

Moving to S3 and being able to scale down to 50% capacity at non-peak hours seems to nearly equal the cost, aside from the human+time cost savings. Using spot instances would also save even more.

Lock in also takes many forms. If you’re locked in to an infrastructure that only supports a certain type of system with big bulky servers and big bulky disks, then you’re going to build that kind of system. You can’t take advantage of something like a lambda for specific parts of your scraping pipeline, or SQS or S3. These are useful things to have at your disposal when designing systems.

Your comment is both needlessly dismissive, and worse, incorrect.
You cannot get a human being, much less the person that is you, by recursively applying a constant set of rewrite rules on unstructured hydrogen atoms.

If you think to counter my assertion with "The standard model of particle physics and the big bang already did that, I'm here after all", then spare us both the trouble and don't reply. The particular arrangement of all known matter and energy in the universe at t=0 is not a repeatable initial condition.

Some rewriting systems are in fact Turing complete[1], and that's an interesting digression.

Generally that's what studies do; you can't really disprove things like naturopathy or chiropractic care, all you can do is show that they do not have any evidence to support them.

I can't speak to your particular medical condition, but I can say I know people who say the exact same thing about acupuncture; they absolutely swear that it helps treat their pain and they are sincere in their belief just as I am sure you are sincere about your belief.

My wife's a trail ultrarunner, and says that there's a lot more camaraderie. She suggests part of it is due to the fact that the races are so unpredictable, that direct comparisons and even "time" aren't all that meaningful. Another friend suggested the same thing about cyclocross.
Few thoughts:

1. What happens if we artificially change the value for a cell? I imagine it would ensue chaos and the changes would eventually propagate to every level. Would love to see this.
