Arguably, we could also claim the telephone and the world wide web, both invented by British engineers while abroad...
Indeed, the whole bridge failed because the impact didn't exceed the impact strength of the bridge's material, which means the whole bridge bent until the deflection exceeded the tensile strength of the material. A missile impact with the same total energy would exceed impact strength and would probably have destroyed only part of the bridge.
There is also a very simple and straightforward chip that will convert quadrature to pulses. Ls7183n. It's kind of unnecessary if you can write your own interrupt handlers but it's useful if you're just working with discrete electronics

Honest question, as I want to learn something. Zuck's quotes were:

> “Whenever someone asks a question about Snapchat, the answer is usually that because their traffic is encrypted we have no analytics about them”

> “Given how quickly they’re growing, it seems important to figure out a new way to get reliable analytics about them. Perhaps we need to do panels or write custom software. You should figure out how to do this.”

I'm against what FB did, and it is still Zuck's responsibility, but let's take a fake company as an example. Say I'm your manager, and I ask you to start learning more about what our competition is doing. If you used publicly available info (like news articles or other media, even their engineering blog), OK great -- but if you decided to snoop their traffic, which only went between that competitor's servers and their users, I wouldn't be OK with that. Perhaps you did something unethical, but also I'd be responsible bc I hired you.

How do you prevent this sort of thing, especially at a huge company? Especially a huge tech company, where I believe lots of tech workers tend to specialize in tech and often lack soft skills/ability to think about the bigger non-technical picture. For example, "oh shit, we can't actually read this data w/o the customer's consent."

In some instances perhaps that's so. And I'd mostly agree with you re mature industries and outsourcing. But in the instances I've given (and they were just off-the-cuff, but there are many more) I'd argue that they are new and developing tech that's nowhere near full maturity. New modulation methods combined with newer polarization techniques have the potential to revolutionize spectrum management (that's where many more channels can be made available in already-overcrowded spectrum space). With new meta materials the sky's the limit—from new types of specialized antennae to optical lenses that are an order of magnitude smaller whilst bettering optical sharpness and abberations, and that's just for starters.

Re cell phones, I'll just say this. RF engineering went through a revolution about 10 to 15 years before cell phones became commonplace. The electronics shrunk in size by an order of magnitude, the RF front ends including its transistors increased their FT (transition/cutoff frequency) by over an order of magnitude, and the noise figure of RF front ends was reduced to well below 1dB.

The net/combined result of these three improvements in RF engineering was a truly remarkable achievement. Fact is, there'd be no smartphones or integrated GPS without these developments all having happened. I'd also add that by and large programmers simply haven't a clue about this very special aspect of RF engineering. They just take for granted that the hardware does what it says, to them it's just a black box.

Programming, which cannot be really called engineering because many decades on, it's still an undisciplined way of working that's more akin to an art form than true professional engineering, can however provide the glitz factor that sells phones, but it's completely lost without the state-of-art RF hardware substrate upon which it sits. Moreover, the next revolution in phone technology such as direct satellite services, will only be practical after a further revolution in RF hardware (what passes for some showy demos today is nowhere near the mark if the tech is to be widely adopted).

If you think I've been too hard on programming then I'd suggest you read this near 30-year-old SciAm article as starting point: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/247573088_Software'....

Thirty years on essentially programming has adopted some new techniques for developing software but the fundamental underlying problem of the lack of rigorous standards together with proven methods to solve problems by computer remains unresolved, and in some instances the software industry has gotten demonstrably worse.

I've not the time to put current references that support my claim but a search will soon find them—ones written by both authoritative people within the programming industry and elsewhere such as in computer science research.

3. This is kinda quintissential AI. Not to distract this thread from the valuable topic of non-trendy projects, but this is a great example of why we need to reclaim "AI" as a much more general term. I mean "algorithmic trading" could be a synonym for "human-like problem solving"...

Tailwind's grid support poor. It has no support for named columns, rows, or areas. You basically only have the same grid support as bootstrap.

Container queries are supported (kind of), but without named grid elements to handle the page's layout, their usefulness is severely hampered.

Light-dom web components aren't a css feature per se, but are used to simplify css. It allows you to both scope css to a component while taking advantage of the cascade. (As opposed to tailwind which tries to hide the cascade from developers because it tries to pretend that scoping isn't a thing)

I was referring to a UI system that did not differentiate a UI thread and could use things like pre-emptive scheduled tasks to access layout elements, etc.

Your example illustrates my point that you need to manually juggle threads if they are used directly. It ends up being the callback hell that async/await is the nice sugar for.

My own photogrammetry pipeline because I'm fascinated by the tech (automatically create 3d models from photos). There are also a huge number of commercial applications but I haven't addressed one well enough yet.

https://beholder.vision

So far I've built a first pass of the pipeline using C++/CUDA and used it to power a SaaS and desktop photogrammetry app (free for personal non-commercial use). Got some useful feedback from the initial release of the desktop app back in January and I'm hoping to spend some time iterating to improve further later in the year (currently contracting to generate some funds).

It's possible that some deep learning generative AI network will take over all 3d model generation from photos tasks in the future but I'm hoping/betting that a) classical techniques will give higher resolution, more accurate results for a while yet and b) even if deep learning matches in accuracy and resolution it will always be possible to get better efficiency for big chunks of the pipeline using classical techniques.

The Devon breed were among the very first cattle brought to the New World and were once immensely popular. The American Milking Devon breed branched off of the Red Devon lines in the mid-20th century, as the later started to move away from dual-purpose in favor of meat production.

Now, both are relatively rare in comparison to common commercial dairy and meat breeds, respectively. The margins are too thin in commodity markets to justify breeding anything but the most productive animals (e.g. Angus).

As I understand it, the original Devon breed in England remains quite popular.

Interesting article. It got me thinking about what invariants could be proven for these data structures with a proof assistant having knowledge of things like lifetime or ownership. One thing that bothers me about Rust is that these properties are hardwired into the syntax in a very specific way. Sometimes I might want these properties to be exactly the way they are in Rust. Sometimes less, sometimes more, sometimes other semantics. This article makes me think that the tools Rust offers aren’t very good for this task. They’re not bad! But it seems like something better could be devised.
> Americans have no business defending Finland of all places.

A very shortsighted view. Norway, Sweden and Finland are currently setting up a joint air force command so that in case of war, they could deliver a fatal blow to the Russian Northern Fleet at Murmansk. The Northern Fleet operates in the Atlantic and is the largest threat to shipping between North America and Europe. They represent the U-boats of the 21st century. Americans get incredible value from closer cooperation with Finland and Sweden.

> The alternative is that countries negotiate with regional powers and try to maintain friendly relations.

And what if it doesn't work out and instead a fascist regime first rolls over the entire Europe again and then starts to threaten rest of the world?

You are not proposing anything new.[1] This line of thought had wide support between the two world wars. The current system of international organizations and alliances is a "lesson learned" from that period.

I confess I have never used Canva myself. However, every pdf that students send our way from Canva is basically just series of flattened images.

Especially outstanding when you consider all those previous guys in their Spitfires and Messerschmitt 109s.

Container ship
Not to be negative but reasons campsites don’t have it are going to be your problem.

1) it is additional hassle for them with no obvious upside as they most likely have their organic traffic

2) they are not that great business - even if - then they most likely don’t want a database that tax authorities could see that they are.

Both reasons seem like lots of those places wouldn’t pay for service. But feel free to prove me wrong by having great business.
This conspiracy theory is so weird and detailed. I don’t take it particularly seriously, but I would be less shocked if aspects of it turn out to be true than some other conspiracy theories.

You don't have to "need" it to admire the scope of what they created. Hardware AND software engineering at its finest solving some very hard problems.
imo there's a difference between goatse type momentary shock sites that we grew up with and social media that pervades every waking minute of a kid's life. Yea, the former is gross, but the latter seems like it has real lasting psychological ramifications with regard to popularity contests, body image, etc. all the things that kids already struggle with, social media turns up to 11.

I just wanted to share this just incase anyone is in a situation where they don’t trust their partners anymore. There is no harm in wanting to know what your second half is into, it saves you from wasting more years of your life with people who do not deserve you. I will leave the hacker’s contacts below just incase anyone needs his services and assistance.
Just a mail to hackerspytech @ gmail com
Encouraged by these review, I contacted the expert hackerspytech @ gmail com based off many reviews i got from here and he gave me applications and login details to access my partner’s phone, it was like a dream come true because i never expected his service to be so top notch with every details i needed. This allowed me to view text messages, calls, WhatsApp conversations, and her location . With the evidence I gathered, I was able to make necessary changes in my life. If you need to access your partner phone for spying purpose, I highly recommend this expert.

Help Me with Money
A good SWE salary doesn't necessarily elevate you to the same strata anymore. Most of the programmers I work with have parents that supported them, especially monetarily. I myself, could not rely on either parent. Well-off parents can help you with a down payment on a house, be a better present grandparent, and be a reliable source of financial support in hard times. For most people in these well-paid positions, a job doesn't guarantee buying a house anymore, or a stable future. Only generational wealth does.

It’s not a product per se, but I can already see it needing something purpose built in the future.

I’m hosting a 6 week cohort of makers and builders to meet virtually every week and share progress with a demo day at the end. It’s been really exciting to see the response of such a program. People are doing things from crocheting to programming.

> All pilots are "harbor pilots".

I don't think that's true. The Suez Canal famously requires pilots, but isn't a harbour (I guess you could argue it functions as one). I've heard of pilots for the Great Barrier Reef which is even more not a harbour.
As a child I had Perthes disease (a rare, degenerative disease of the hip), and it has given me pain for 3 decades now. I've known that a joint replacement is in my future for essentially my entire life, and I was told as a kid to wait until the technology was better. There has long been talk about biological replacements, but nothing seems close to panning out, and the standard still seems to mean sawing off parts of your bones and replacing them with metal. The biggest change seems to be in the plastic parts and the addition of ceramics in places. My understanding is that both hip and knee replacements have benefited.
It doesn’t, I agree. Just pointing out that whenever Baltimore figures out Democrats have been fucking them over

Hey, so you may not be targeting this particular market but it is adjacent and something I would pay $5-10 a month for. Have you considered expanding this eventually into a Empower (formerly Personal Capital) competitor?

What I mainly use from them is:

- investment performance tracking across my various accounts.

- retirement planning/forecasting

- cash flow, expense, and income tracking overtime.

- warnings about upcoming credit card bills; amount is never right but I pay my statement in full so just a little thing saying “Hey this is going to hit your account on this date” is helpful for me.

- basic budgeting

Anyway a local first privacy respecting alternative I would definitely pay for. iPad support would be a must for me.

Just some unsolicited feedback. Best of luck

EDIT: forgot to mention the reason I am looking for alternatives. Empower bought Personal Capital and are getting much more aggressive in pushing their management services.

So, I figure it is only a matter of time before they either start selling my data or cut me off since I am not interested in anything they are selling. They have really nice iOS apps though.
