All very well saying this, but supporting bands that don't tour anymore due to the economic difficulty of it, UK venues closing, bands being in other countries et cetera makes this quite hard.

Recheck their API spec, you can limit observations to current or any number you want for any station.

The problem however, is the 500 or target station readings returning null.
It's interesting that the v4 code linked reuses pid 0 (the code that assigns pids simply does "p->p_pid = ++mpid;") - I vaguely remember having to fix that in kernels we were working on in the mid 80s
We can probably safely assume it was intended as art, not for practical usage.

Thanks for the links.

I had to go to the PDF [1] linked from the AAIB Special Bulletin to get a somewhat clear picture of the sequence of events (though if I were a 737 pilot or engineer, it all might have been obvious from the summary):

"Having completed their pre-flight preparation, the aircraft left the stand at Bristol to taxi to Runway 09 at 1041 hrs. The A/T arm switch on the Mode Control Panel (MCP) had been set to ARM during the before start procedures in accordance with the operator’s SOPs. The aircraft taxied onto Runway 09 at 1104 hrs and was cleared for takeoff shortly afterwards. The left seat pilot handed control of the aircraft to the right seat pilot who was to be PF for the sector. The PF advanced the thrust levers to 40% N1 and paused for the engines to stabilise before pressing the Takeoff/Go-Around switch (TOGA) which engages both the A/T in N1 mode and the autopilot/flight director system (AFDS) in takeoff mode. At this point, the A/T disengaged with an associated warning and the A/T arm switch on the MCP was reengaged by the PM almost immediately afterwards. At the same moment the PF advanced the thrust levers manually towards the required takeoff setting before releasing the thrust levers for the left seat occupant to control in accordance with the SOPs.

"When the A/T arm switch was re-engaged on the MCP after initial A/T disengagement, it did not control the thrust lever servos as the pilots expected and instead entered an armed mode. As a result, the thrust levers did not advance to the required thrust setting and neither pilot moved them from the position the PF had set them to. Despite the SOP requiring that the thrust is set by 60 kt and checked as correct at 80 kt, the incorrect setting was missed by both pilots. This resulted in the aircraft takeoff being conducted with significantly less thrust than required, 84.5% N1 was used instead of 92.8% N1, with the associated reduction in aircraft performance."

At this point, it is clear to me that the pilots missed two mandated checks of the power prior to rotation, but it is not entirely clear to me at what point, in this rather complicated sequence of events, things first deviated from what should have happened if both the equipment and pilots were performing as intended - was the A/T disengagement after TOGA selection the intended and expected behavior, or was the first deviation when it went into armed mode after re-engagement?

I have a very intelligent friend who has the same attitude towards personal finances and refuses any help. It is very sad but there's apparently nothing I can do about it.
> I still think it’s about ego as well. [...] So there are many devs out there that want to win the jackpot. I don’t blame them.

What I understand here is that you don't contribute to open source projects, but you think that you can understand the motivation of those who do. Let me be honest: I think you don't.

There are many reasons to contribute to open source, and those who believe they will get a salary from sponsors or become famous are naive beginners.
To be fair, after having accidentally ended up with a tiny modicum of name recognition I'll say if you do earnestly want that, you're probably much better off chasing visibility than thanklessly grinding away giving away free stuff hoping people will take notice.

You need to write your own story for people to be aware of it. What most people who have any sort of fame have in common is that they're good at crafting a narrative.

What sets John Romero apart from the next level designer and game dev is that John Romero loves talking about John Romero.

Your blog is much more important than your git repo. I don't think talking is enough on its own, but it is extremely important to put yourself out there.
I remember last year (?) Quancomm proposing an ISA extension that brings ARM-like addressing modes and paired stores to RISC-V, and the community reaction being very negative. Happy to hear that there are now initiatives to streamline these proposals and make RISC-V a better fit for high-performance CPUs. I am looking forward to future developments!
You’re wrong, you have a legal right to a bank account (Basiskonto) if you live in the EU, even if you don’t have a fixed address. The bank literally can’t deny you ( https://www.bafin.de/DE/Verbraucher/Bank/Produkte/Basiskonto... ). You need to give them an address to send mail to, but that can be any address where you can get access to the mail (friends, family, homeless shelter…). Do you have a source for the claim?
In a perverse way, HP is actually one of the biggest promoters of the paperless office.

In other words, their heavy handed marketing and exploitative tactics have created a downward spiral/feedback loop.

They work to increase the cost of printing which only decreases the market for their product which only further increases the cost and shrinks their market even more.

Buying a printer is a trap that more and more people are looking to avoid. Sometimes the "free market" doesn't work to anyone's benefit.
Yes, It will require LLM to convert your unstructured data into a type-safe JSON format, It will be a very simple hobby project that will get you a JSON response as fast as possible instead of writing your own implementation or similar stuff. I plan to simplify this friction because JSON is used in various places. If it somehow works, then I think it would save some time for devs to focus on other parts of their projects :)

Let me know what you think ^_^
Wealth and fertility have an inverse relationship. This is true worldwide, and through recent history (~50 years). Just one of many reasons, women are going to college and having careers at historical highs. And the same women are punished for having kids.

"This decreasing relationship between fertility and income is well known to economists and demographers alike. In addition, it holds true over time: Rich countries, such as the U.S., have experienced a remarkable decline in their fertility rate as they became rich. Also, the relationship holds at the individual level, as rich families tend to have fewer children than poor families."

Ask HN: How to mute Twitter words in profile?
Is there any way or tool, or open ticket I can support to enable muting or blocking users on Twitter (X) based on words in their profile text?

I feel I could create such better experience, as there seems to be a 90% overlap between certain words/emoji in the profile of all people I block or mute..

Anyone found a solution to this?
Diesel sounds much more practical:

> “Nukey Poo” began producing power for the McMurdo station in 1962, and was refuelled for the first time in 1964. A decade later, the optimism around the plant had faded. The 25-man team required to run the plant was expensive, while concerns over possible chloride stress corrosion emerged after the discovery of wet insulation during a routine inspection. Both costs and environmental impacts conspired to close the plant in September 1972.

> This precipitated a major clean up that saw 12,000 tonnes of contaminated rock removed and shipped back to the USA through nuclear-free New Zealand. The clean up pre-dated Antarctica’s modern environmental protection regime by two decades, and required the development of new standards for soil contamination levels.

Maybe, maybe not.

There's another recent peer comment that confirms 1.5 million US for a large 250kW is a pulse power for a C-band stationary radar system with 300 km of range.

This is a small doppler with modest power and 70 km range max.

If cost is proportional to the 3D volume of space scanned (as the power requirements likely are) Then this small mini radar might well be less than 100K.

TBH I have no specific knowledge here although I have worked in other sensing domains and seen a wide spread on cost of equipment related to volume and quality of data.

I'd be interested in the flat cost price of the mini system, I suspect that's not going to appear without some inside knowledge or working a dealer, it appears to be a rare bespoke kinf of thing, not like the commercial fishing radars.
Maybe someone can train an AI to decide which alarms need immediate attention, given N staff members available.

Why is python dependency management so cancerously bad? Why are there so many “solutions” to this problem that seem to be out of date as soon as they exist?

I own this* one and it is set up on a pole off of my deck. I connect it to wunderground.com and anyone can look up data from my station. I'll be sharing with this service as well now that I know about it.

There are much cheaper options than that one if you're interested in hosting a weather station. I decided to install it since I live in a relatively rural area and there is a fairly large gap in coverage where I live. Now I can get more local data and my neighbors can benefit as well. If you live in an urban area odds are a lot of the stations you see on the coverage map are just like this. When I lived in Austin I had a lot nearby readings and if you dig into the info tab for each one you'll see they're personal stations people are sharing.
I really agree. All of our team documentation is in asciidoc. Importing diagrams from other files, variables, and vastly better tables are the best features for us. I feel like asciidoc’s weakness is that there is only 1 library, and it’s in ruby. Whereas markdown has libraries in almost all languages, making it easier to support.

Tagged PDF is nothing new, it was added with PDF 1.4 in 2001, in order to provide an HTML-like structure in PDFs (potentially allowing PDF-HTML round-tripping). But a lot of software doesn’t bother producing it.
Why this obsession with "all words must be known"? People are perfectly capable to understand the core of the message even if it contains unknown words. It happens not every time, it doesn't happen for example when each one of the words is unknown, but the message:

> "This message has been deleted from the mail server, but Outlook still has it in its temporary cache on this device. You can copy the message contents, or discard it from the cache, at which point it will be permanently deleted."

can be understood. Even if the first sentence looks like a technical garbage, the second gives the clear instructions. And I don't believe that the first sentence is a complete nonsense to a layman. It can be understood as "message is halfway through the process of the deletion".
> ... an MBA is part of what I would consider a good background.

Emphasis on "part." I'm totally guessing on this, but I think OP may have been talking about PMs where the MBA is their only notable feature rather than those where the MBA is just one part of a well balanced whole.

> You can teach a tech person to understand business, vision, strategy, finance, etc. You cannot teach very well the business person who has all that the intricacies of technology.

I'm inclined to agree with this. The thing about business degrees is that they are so minimal effort that actually understanding business isn't a prerequisite to being awarded one. I would know, I have 2 of them.

There's no guarantee a "business person" actually learned business, much less that they are capable of learning tech. Don't get me wrong, I'm not by any means implying that all business people are inept or that they are collectively unable to learn tech; it's often unrealistic, but not impossible.

When going to school for tech, such as an MS in engineering, CS, etc., typically requires enough effort that one will end up learning their respective field (I have met exceptions to this and interacting with them is infuriating) whereas going to school for an MBA is one of the easiest ways I know of to get government financing for a decade of partying.
Kind of a strange take.

> Paris might still exist but the people who built it are no more.

If we are speaking of building then the most defining era for Paris date back to 1870 with the Haussman transformation so not exactly a surprise there.

> People who lived there for generations.

Not sure what this special breed bring to Paris versus those living there for mere decades ? Generations of nepotism ?

Migration are not exactly new, those from Aveyron started in mass from 1880.

> Maybe I've read to much French literature which set some expectations.

Humm maybe the Paris from your expectations never existed ?

Not sure which author you are speaking of but there is a high probability they were not born in Paris but probably lived there later on.

And lastly while it's certain that peoples are moving out from Paris especially when they start to want children I believe it's still far from the state Venise is in where half of the dwellings in the city center is for tourism.

> ends up obscuring the relationships between quantities

It can end up obscuring relationships between quantities internal to the visualization, but at the same time having this kind of visualization can help tie the internal quantities to external quantities known to the reader. E.g. "4% of land mass of Netherlands" may not mean much to someone, but if they can see it visualized on a map like this can help them recognize that it's equivalent to e.g. "this county I'm living in".
I like the analogy with the USAF and fighter jets. Every generation of fighter jet is more capable than the one before but also much more expensive per plane to purchase and operate, so they get fewer of them each time.

Same experience for me in another domain (indie apps).

I’m okay with getting better at marketing, and allowing for the possibility of lack of product market fit.

I’m less okay with believing I have to become Extremely Online to “build my personal brand,” just to have a chance at launching things successfully.

That’s some bullshit that they peddle to justify their own addiction. It’s learned helplessness to platforms.

you are going to return the chunk to your user as 'proof'.

the size therefore depends of your content style.

E.g. for a HN discussion, I would go 'paragraph' of each comment.

in a contract, each clause.

in a non-fiction book, maybe each section...

you can also decide to do some kind of reverse adaptive tree: you chunk at sentences level, then compare, if 'close enough', you merge them into a bigger chunk

Oddly enough Middlemarch is often cited in literary courses as being the template for social realism ... eg:

> Lolita is DEFINITELY not lolicon

Well I wouldn't take that suggestion too seriously although it seems that you have.
Yet the topologies of celestial bodies, or RNA or protein structures, nor the patterns generated by cellular automata or other popular sources have nothing to do with music. You could just as well interpret the patterns in a herd of cows or a flock of birds musically. What you ultimately hear as music is the arbitrary, man-made interpretation of a quasi-random set and its mapping onto music. Through this mapping and its active design by a person, it becomes virtually irrelevant which data was used as input. I have worked as a professional musician and producer and also have a PhD in molecular biology and biophysics and have been involved in algorithmically generated music for thirty years. You can take any random number generator and quantize it in a musically optimized way and get similar results. There is nothing characteristic that makes the experienced listener of such music think "oh, that's typical of protein music".
They tried producing one of those - the Tata Nano, starting from like $2k but 3 or 4k with extras in India. It wasn't a big success selling 7500 a year against the 250k they were hoping for. I guess it was a bit rubbish even for the Indian market. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tata_Nano
But New Hampshire already has the plant built. That cost already happened. The question now is how best to meet the energy demand with the resources available, and that's already available.
Too late. I've used Windows for over 30 years. Was never a "fan", it just got the work done without getting in the way. Good tool.
