Well we do have answers to many of these questions already. For instance the longest ISS stay is 437 days, contrasted against the ~100 days to get to Mars. And the ISS is a claustrophobic cave contrasted against the Starship. The ISS is made of various modules. The zvezda/"star" module is a major support and living module, with a total habitable volume of 47m^3. Starship has 1000m^3 (which is equal to the volume of the entire ISS). Of course lots of that will be used for supplies, but the nature of the planned missions (multiple ships, supplies/fuel/etc distributed among other ships in the fleet) means a very sizable chunk of it will be available for habitation.

There's also a lot of misconceptions about things like radiation. In general short extremely high energy bursts of solar weather can be quite dangerous. But it turns out that the Starship will already have a rather large volume of appropriate shielding - water! That shield can be used on an as-needed basis because you can see these events coming from far away (yet again, advantages the earlier colonists would not have had).

The ambient radiation is much less of a concern. The worst case scenario is you end up shaving some years off your average life expectancy with a higher overall chance of cancer, but there are some super interesting studies in places like Ramsar, Iran [1]. Ramsar is the most naturally radiated habitated location on Earth, with orders of magnitude higher radiation levels than generally recommended as safe. According to contemporary radiation-cancer models, increased cancer rates should be trivially detectable. Instead they actually seem to be showing a slightly reduced rate of cancer, which some have posited may be attributable to radio-adaptive effects in play! Presumably this would not be true of the first generation(s), but it suggests some extremely exciting generational possibilities.

Basically I would say here that anything a small mission can do, a larger one could do - more safely, more reliably, more efficienctly, with more data, and just generally better chances of success. The costs when you do fail will be higher, but the chances of failure will be lower, and the overall rate of progress will be dramatically higher.

QuickJS is presumably intended for embedding within applications - how does it compare to Lua for this?

Both languages are fairly quirky - at least JavaScript’s quirks are widely-known. But how do the implementations compare in terms of API, robustness, portability, performance etc?

Also, I’m not aware of any static typing add-ons for Lua, but presumably it’s possible to use TypeScript with QuickJS?
Fat skis put a lot of torque on the knees on ice if they are properly tuned and your carving in a high G turn. It's the wrong tool for that job, best to just slide around and chill like you mentioned.
That list takes an awfully broad view of "American Adjunct": despite the self-description "made popular in America after Prohibition", there's plenty of 19th-century brands like Fosters, San Miguel, Sol, Dos Equis etc in there that predate the Prohibition by decades, and thus descend from German pale lagers.

You can also just look up what the dew point is on any particular day, and adjust your temperature.

In general, if you want to save money, you should set your aircon to the highest temperature you can tolerate. We typically operate at 26-28C at home here in Singapore, and our dew point is typically between 24-26C.

The modest reduction in air temperature from 30-33C outside feels amplified, because the aircon also reduces humidity. We also rely heavily on ceiling fans.
I help couples define a partnership works for them through coaching/offsites
Yes, that does goes without saying for unvetted sources, what you say is just a less formalized way of saying, follow Descartes Rules of Method.

That said, the handling of the tech received a seal of approval from me, and I've quite a bit of professional background in IT System's Engineering, and a periphery of Cyber.

I mean what they do really is not that much of a leap, and would improve existing security by orders of magnitude by eliminating swatches of attack surface that the worst of the worst malware out there uses today.

Punch cards (upgraded) -> Optical printouts that can be physically changed to load firmware and and the functional software from a physically modifiable medium. (A known working, knokwn safe state at the lowest level).

No persistent internal state at the hardware/firmware controller levels (for bad actors to abuse with an APT such as some of the DMA shennanigans, hooking, and bus tricks).

Non-networked except between critical fortified systems (to limit spread).

Sure you take some performance hits, but its resilient with few single points of failure (such as the physical medium).

Depends on how your aircon is working?

If their working fluid is water, you are right. But most aircons work like fridges, and their pipes don't transport 'cold' by literally having a cold fluid, but by having an ambient temperature fluid that they turn into a gas inside your interior aircon unit (and then later turn back from a gas into a liquid on the outside unit).

The actual pipes are always at pretty much ambient temperatures.
You could also just send a lot of people to jail.

One of the problems here is that a lot of the time, the worst thing that happens to an individual from the company is just that they get fired. That's just not a very strong deterrent when the upside if you don't get caught is potentially huge raises/promotions/bonuses.

Imagine if the worst thing that could happen to you when robbing banks if you get caught is just that you can't rob banks in that area anymore. That's kind of how this works for individuals in corporations.
A lot depends on where you ski. If you're skiing in the Northeast US, where conditions are often icy, then yes tuning matters a great deal. If you race, or want precision in your turns, then tuning is important.

If you're a powder hound in Utah or Niseko, then it matters a lot less.
First thing - what was fun? I think fan pages with a lots of interesting content, forums with interesting topics, IIRC channels with interesting groups.

All had one thing in common: interesting creators.

Previously Google connected you with interesting pages, now Google is answering machine. Now you are not connected with people, but with Google algorithm. You are connected with amazon deals, news outlets. You will not find XYZ blog on it that easily.

Previously Facebook was designed to connect you with people, now you are connected with memes, ads, bots, and companies, news outlets.

Previously YouTube connected users with creators, now it is full of corporations, big media. You cannot down vote, you cannot easily browse subscriptions. YouTube does not care about users, comment section has limited amount of moderation tools.

Dead internet theory. Bots create your feeds through algorithms. Bots comment threads through malicious accounts. Now Bots will also create content.

Manual labor is often more precise, more artsy. Moving to automation, to factories killed some of that. I think this is what happens with the Internet. We are living in a factory now.

There is a limit to enshittification, before users are tired and go elsewhere.
Well, in fairness the majority of that system has been taken over by communism. Quite a lot of the methods and techniques they use are based in Marx or Mao, though the teachers aren't taught the origins of the tools they use, which have been obscured.

Show HN: AI powered storybook creator and illustrator
I created a tool which lets you create a children's book in minutes using AI.

• You can gift a personalized book to your own child.
• Or, you could create a book with a fictional character at the center and publish in on Amazon KDP, Lulu, etc.

Features:

• You can bring your own story or use one of our suggestions.
• You can iterate on any illustration that you don't like.
• You can control text placement throughout the book.
• You can use photo of a kid to base your characters on.
• You can share the book over social media.

I started this project just to create a book for my daughter. But feels like a lot of people would like to do the same. So, created a product for others to use. Please try it out!

Open to all feedback!
The problem is that finding the people responsible can be extremely hard, so you have to go against the corporation itself.

Punishing a corporation is easy, but the government hates doing it for obvious reasons. It means ruining something which is useful to you and punishing tens of thousands of completely innocent people, with inevitable layoffs.

What Boeing really needs is a complete change in management culture, as that was the real root cause for the MAX disasters, but that is impossible to enforce, you can't even really verify that it has happened.

I also think people don't understand how extremely lucky Boeing is. If all of this had happened during a time of low demand the company would be facing a far more dire situation, likely with many major airlines canceling orders. But since airplane demand is very high and order books are full, airlines have to keep their orders at Boeing if they want new planes.

The versions should generally match what's specified in the user's package.json. It doesn't make much sense then to have a separate registry.
Yeah that is dialed like an F1 car and four degrees will shorten the life of the edge a bit. Some will do that much just under boot but go 3 at tip and tail. Another approach is to never debur and file every run. Saw that hack at a Fis GS race this year that was water injected by an over zealous course crew.
Your argument that it makes sense to install aircon might be a good one. But I don't understand why that justifies in any way criminalising buildings without aircon?

I mean, equally cooking tasty food is not actually that much harder nor more expensive than cooking yucky food. But similarly, that's not a reasonable excuse for outlawing any cuisine (or execution of a cuisine) we disagree with.
You have to get the leadership by the balls. The CEO isn't going to change a company's culture alone, but she has leverage and connections. If they know they face prison if the company plays foul in a major way, they will put pressure on their deputies to change culture.

Also, fines that go up to say 10% of global revenue. That ensures that even activist shareholders take note and do not pressure the CEO to cut corners.
> That's why i think that buiding-scale ventilation systems without heat pumps make no economic sense. They mean leaving a very low hanging fruit, hanging.

That makes some sense. But your call for criminalisation is silly.
I've been reading sci-fi for decades and among it all, the Culture novels have left the greatest single lasting impression. Among galaxies, across time, somewhere a maybe-boring hedonism but free of oppression and want - dwarfing the piddling amateurish nonsense that passes for civilization in our neck of the woods in the here & now.

Purraps to be considered as an admittedly fanciful but not wholly impractical set of goals for the next hundred years here.

BTW note that based on one of his short stories, the Culture does exist "now" in our galactic region. A ship visits us at some point in the 1970s, and as it departs its Mind mischievously creates an EM signature crafted to baffle us.

A "100 year storm" is a storm with a 1% probability of occurrence within any given year.[1] So a 500-year storm has an 0.2% annual occurrence probability.

Those of us who understand probabilities immediately recognise that even assuming the base-line probabilities are correct, this will occur far more frequently than once in 100 years.[2]

And of course, the probabilities require a known historical distribution, which itself changes over time (climate change being only one of multiple factors). It is possible to make inferences based on the observed rate vs. intensity or magnitude of events. In many cases these follow an inverse-log relation, such that order-of-magnitude greater intensity events occur with an order of magnitude less frequency. Tracking the more-frequent, lower-intensity incidents actually gives a good proxy for how often higher-intensity events will occur.[3]

________________________________

Notes:

1. "The 100-Year Flood" <https://www.usgs.gov/special-topics/water-science-school/sci...>

2. A 1% probability event has a 99% probability of not occurring. For a period of time, raise 0.99 to the power of the periods occuring. Over a 100 year period, that's 0.99^100, or a 63.4% chance of no such events occurring. For the probability of k occurrences over n periods you'd apply the binomial distribution: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_distribution>.

3. This is a relationship which applies to a whole host of events, and is very frequently observed in general physical phenomena. Asteroid impacts, earthquake intensities, volcanic eruptions, storms, wildfires, terrorist attacks, and the like.
Proving something like criminal negligence is extremely hard.

The supply chain of software in aerospace is extremely long and finding out who exactly was acting negligent is near impossible.

PoE works better (cheaper, higher bandwidth, differential signalling for higher EMI resistance, readily shared, etc.). Plastic covers are ~free (splash out and deploy duct tape if necessary).

Same. Kind of a nice ritual and I look back at that time spent together fondly. I also feel a bit sorry(/grateful) for all the time my parents spent on this. Driving me ungodly early so I could get to a race a few towns over, and then waiting there all day for me and my team mates to do our thing and then drive us home.

You really do notice the difference on well maintained edges. On groomed slopes I can ski anything, and it doesn't really matter. But I don't think most people realize how icy a race track can become.
It's more than test coverage though. Their spec had the same glaring error. It's a design, management agreement, spec, review failure. The tester could have said something because they realized the design is bullshit, but by that time no competent testers hired by Boeing any more, it was all outsourced to the cheapest bidder.
Wait, what. Why should you keep downloading Node per workspace? If you have one installed already?
Management evolved language of avoiding responsibility. For example, instead of saying "use cheaper parts" they'll say "we need to focus on better use of our financial resources for increasing shareholder value". No court can pin them down for telling designers to use cheap parts, but the designers get the message. And if the designers don't get it, lower management will tell them in plain language. That shift the blame onto lower ranks while the top management is laughing all the way to the bank and move on to another high-paying job.
Racism. If the first fatal flight had happened to an US or European airline somewhere over US or European territory, the fleet would have been grounded for an investigation.
I think what we will also see - are pocket universes. As in- to circumvent censorship, people will download and run an ai, that mimicrys the free internet for them.

For those interested in the "no syntax" approach (the editor being aware of the structure and able to operate natively on it), there are a number of projects [0] that go beyond simple Proof of Concepts. Naturally there are more on Lisp-y languages since there is much less work to go back and forth between syntax and structure.

Well, what degrees are actually necessary for the work? As in, if you don't have the degree, you cannot be allowed to do the work?

Medicine, law?

Pretty much all other degrees are a thing that you do because it's interesting, and you want to signal your interest in some area. People are trained on the job for the most part. I'm fairly sure I could have jumped into my career from high school, were it not for the social convention that smart kids have to go to university, and thus only graduates can be hired.

The sibling comment is right, btw, it's narrow to think of it as a right-wing talking point. Historically the left thought the same way.

Hello! I'm Mihai, a web developer and for the past month I've worked at this app outside of my job.
This was one of my own problems, to find fast a good movie to watch on the streaming platform I want so I thought to build that app, and there it is.

It uses the movie database API for fetching movies and tv shows, and calculates a score based on the rating vote and vote count.

So tell me if you want, what do you think about it or what feature would you like to have on the app ?

Banks are not declared too big to fail. They are sometimes described that way. But banks fail all the time. It’s why the FDIC exists.

Boeing and the US government have a long and intimate relationship but it is mutual. Boeing was fully vertically integrated until it was favorable to encourage competition in the aviation industry and the US government broke the company up. Boeing is not untouchable.
Isn't the main start menu already a quick launcher?

My experience on windows in the last decade is limited but every time I used a windows 10 machine, the windows key followed with whatever keyword would act as a launcher. Or am I missing something obvious? Did they remove start menu from win 11?
Fair, I'll redraw it ;)
A truly fitting punishment would be that Boeing is prohibited from piggybacking certification of any further 737 variants.
> ...but presumably it’s possible to use TypeScript with QuickJS?

I don't see why not, since TS compiles down to JS. The engine doesn't know or care about what kind of transformations the code went through before it was JS. You might need to be careful about compatibility, the QuickJS intro says 'Almost complete ES2023 support", so you'd have to avoid any unsupported features.
What's the difference between this and the search bar in the start menu?

> Probability-zero events happen all the time. The probability of getting any specific value selected uniformly at random from the unit interval (say, 0.232829) is zero.

I would strongly challenge that claim. First, you did not choose that number uniformly at random, you chose it from at best a countably infinite subset, or more realistically, from a finite subset. And secondly, I do not think you can describe a situation where a number is actually chosen uniformly and randomly from the unity interval.
