> I am also wondering how resilient these organisms are in the food matter we are heating up once it is heated up to certain temperatures.

I can't find the FDA food safety table right now but IIRC 12 minutes at 140F, 1 minute at 165F, or less than 10 seconds at 185F is enough to kill off everything except endospores.
We stopped doing serious space development after Apollo and lost a ton of institutional knowledge between then and when SpaceX started picking up where they left off.

Documentation and old drawings, often lacking implementation details, can only take you so far

There's no big secret, if we do a thing a lot we will be able to do it consistently and reliably. Boeing has not done a lot of spacecraft design and manufacturing recently. They've spent a bunch of "time" on it, but haven't actually produced much.

Fortunately other companies, besides just SpaceX, are building lots of spacecraft.
Before roughly 100 years ago, calendar dates were region-dependent anyway (Russia was still on the Julian calendar until 1918), and time zones didn’t really exist until roughly 150 years ago (their establishment mostly being motivated by the spreading of railways). It’s okay to apply the perpetual Gregorian calendar both into the past and the future by default. It probably won’t last more than a couple thousand years into the future as well, considering Earth’s decelerating rotation.
Another step toward corporatocracy... But still most have not realized we head to a feudal world of FAILED big companies living just on a plethora of slaves...
The government (NASA with their commercial space effort) is the reason there's a SpaceX and a dragon to be available as backup. The government seems to be doing alright here.
I'm from UK and it annoys me too but I can't really blame American redditors for being so engaged. Trump is an existential threat to peace and prosperity so I'll just wait it out.
Yeh, when I saw the example above I thought it was KQL.

But they do sort of acknowledge it in the paper. Eg on the first page it says:

> …we present a solution – adding pipe-structured data flow syntax to SQL. This makes SQL more flexible, extensible and easy to use. This paradigm works well in other languages like Kusto’s KQL[5]

Strange typo though, to say “Kusto’s KQL” instead of “Microsoft’s KQL”

Kusto is allegedly named after (sort of in reference to) Jacques Cousteau, so “Kusto’s” doesn’t make sense.

The photos problem is harder, but the app needs to just convert it from local time to UTC when you import it. There's not much that can be done if you take photos on a camera with a different time zone than you're in without more metadata.

The comment section for the Washington Post article <https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/08/24/starlin...> reporting on today's news is overflowing with anger/despair/grief/denial from anti-Musk, anti-SpaceX people. One example:

>For those who "More Engineers and Less MBAs", that's a dog whistle - Just so you know, Boeing is the most diversified aerospace and aircraft manufacturer in the U.S. Typically, Engineers are more arrogant and misogynistic, while MBAs tend to be more progressive, though they can also be more driven by profit. Want an example? SpaceX is a so called "Engineers driven" company.

>At this point, Starliner is actually safe enough (less 1/270 of failure chance) to bring those 2 astronauts back home. The only reason why NASA is not using Starliner, is because there is an election 3 months away. NASA administrator (a politician) made the final decision, so it's not up to MBA or Engineer, it's up to a politician.

>Vote Blue, Nationalize SpaceX and Pass it to Boeing to Run, everybody wins except Musk.
I follow Musk on twitter. I usually get a chuckle from his tweets. It's nice to see a major figure speak his mind rather than the careful pablum filtered through a PR department and read off a teleprompter.
I think the comparison is valid.

At the beginning Google search was all about returning the best result,but that's ruined partially because they put ads over search results and because others learned to tricked Google's algorithm.

The same will happen with LLMs.

But the return value guarantee is, as far as I can see, a C++11 change, so you can't ignore those. And as of C++11, c_str is noexcept, so it cannot allocate anything.

If it's US government stuff generally it will be either McAfee or whatever the latest name is for the McAfee stuff the other option I believe is Microsoft defender.

Both are absolute garbage and if it was up to me I would tell them to pound sand and it's not worth chasing this government business trying to manage this trash that they require on systems but I'm not the boss and when you have a company that's looking to sell itself profitability of an individual client doesn't matter only the masthead.

So good on Georgia tech telling them to shut up most of the government requirements for security or an absolute joke. It's literally about checking boxes rather than doing things that are effective.
I have a deep albeit unfounded suspicion that no developer currently at Microsoft actually knows how the old Windows interfaces like Control Panel are built, which would explain why they haven't changed at all since Windows 7 and they're just slowly but surely tacking on new, different (and worse) interfaces which resort to the same APIs. They're essentially slowly replacing the 20-odd years accumulated work done from Windows 95 onwards, which is why they still haven't entirely replaced the old interfaces and the new ones often link to the old ones so that users can still access most of the functionality.

I recommend reading a biography of Musk and the creation of Tesla. It's abundantly clear neither would exist without Musk. Anyone would want to be called such a "sad loser"!
Nobody's gaslighting you. It's not impossible to build this, though it is much more difficult than it seems (cloud billing is a large-scale eventually-consistent distributed system, and if you've done any distributed systems work the issue with plugging a system like that directly into a control loop should be obvious). It's just expensive to build, and disproportionately serves the interests of customers who aren't running real apps.

At $25k/mo spend, you can talk to many cloud providers (certainly including us) to work out an "I can't get invoiced for more than $25k" solution which will not involve having your app turned off abruptly when the 2,500,001st cent get spent in October. What you'll notice in this thread is that people generally want billing caps for accounts they plan to spend, like, $10/mo on. And we can build cap systems for those people --- but they'll involve turning parts of the platform off for them.

I'm really pleading with people with strong opinions about hard caps to do the exercise of working out how these billing systems work. There are a huge number of apps running here, across a huge fleet of physicals, running in almost 40 regions around the world. Each of those apps has several different kinds of resources that meter at different granularities and incur different costs. Speaking as a witness to the creation of a new billing system just a month or two ago: it is kind of a miracle that these things work at all. Do the thought experiment, read some Call Me Maybe posts, and then tell me it's obvious that this feature should be straightforward to build.
This is an extremely good point that I don't see mentioned often enough, and is the primary reason I have not settled on Markdown for my notes. Markdown is a pretty thin format, and for anything sophisticated you have to have some kind of extension, and that immediately locks you into that particular tool, even if that tool is open source. For what it's worth, I ended up using TiddlyWiki because it's completely open source and self-contained. And so it doesn't require the upgrade treadmill that other software does. But I'm just as locked-in to TiddlyWiki as other users are to Obsidian since its syntax is unique.

But I'm reasoning from first principles. Is there anyone out there that has used Obsidian extensively with plugins and has successfully migrated to any other tool?

The main reason I don't vocally object to Obsidian is that it's a bootstrapped company, they're passionate about their product, and they don't have a need for ultra-rapid growth because they haven't taken any venture capital funding. They seem like good people with the right incentives.
That is a theory or hypothesis, but the question is, does this theoretical harm actually exist? Are there actually significant numbers of people harmed by this mechanism? It might be but they don't show that.
Don't spacesuits typically have some umbilical connection to the capsule life support systems? It's easy to imagine that these connectors might not be standardized between different capsules, and that sending up a new space suit might be easier than designing an adapter.
This isn’t really possible to achieve.
Precisely. LLM assistance is how I felt in the 90s about programming in Delphi and C++ Builder. It felt like cheating, but in a good way, I was getting to solving my problem in no time at all. Except back then it was mostly about the UI, and now it’s for other things as well
>Embarrassing, NASA has been downplaying the seriousness of this for months.

As late as July 28, flight director Ed Van Cise explicitly denied that the Starliner crew was stuck or stranded <https://x.com/Carbon_Flight/status/1817754775196201035>. Even if one quibbles about whether "stranded" applies in this situation (I believe that it does <https://np.reddit.com/r/space/comments/1ekicol/not_stranded_...>), "stuck" definitely does.
Apple's own external keyboard has these missing keys, so I assume they work as on Windows. But they're not available on MacBook keyboard. Truth to be told, Home/End/PgUp/PgDown are also not available on many new Win laptops, but at least separate Delete is always there. And there"s choice, you can always pick up ThinkPad if it's important.

That was just one example of why I don't feel at home on Mac. But TotalCommander must be #1 thing I miss. I investigated several Mac file managers, settled for Crax Commander, but I'm so spoilled by TC that nothing comes close.

"within your natural lifespan" isn't really a qualification of "never, ever". The two are very different time frames. I think it's good that you're willing to adjust your opinions given new information, but it would be nice if you admitted that you changed your mind based on what MatrixMan said instead of acting like "within your natural lifespan" was your original intent.

On an unrelated note, in 2021 Carmack and Meta announced [1] unlocking the Oculus Go bootloader, explicitly mentioning that it "opens up the ability to repurpose the hardware for more things today, and means that a randomly discovered shrink wrapped headset twenty years from now will be able to update to the final software version" [2].

I thought that was great, wanted to hack [3] on it a bit, so I went ahead and bought an Oculus Go on the second hand market. Turns out that the quote isn't true at all [4]. Updating the firmware requires enabling developer mode [5]. Enabling developer mode requires activating the Oculus Go with a Meta or Oculus account [6]. I don't have or want to have a Meta-related account, and in twenty years the online activation process likely won't work at all, making Carmack's shrink-wrapped headset useless without a fight.

I'm sure the point is moot in twenty years because you'll just ask Skynet to write you an Android root exploit, but right know my second hand Oculus Go is surely acting like a brick in my drawer.

> for a few thousands users

It makes absolutely no sense to base this decision on the number of users. We have some applications that don't even have 10 users but still use k8s.

Try to understand the point that was made in the original comment: Kubernetes is a way to actually make infrastructure simpler to understand for a team which maintains lots of different applications, as it can scale from a deployment with just one pod to hundreds of nodes and a silly microservices architecture.

The point is not that every application might need this scalability, no the point is that for a team needing to maintain lots of different applications, some internal, some for customers, some in private datacenters, some in the cloud, Kubernetes can be the single common denominator.

Hell, I'm a hardcode NixOS fan but for most services, I still prefer to run them in k8s just as it is more portable. Today I might be okay having some service sitting on some box, running via systemd. But tomorrow I might want to run this service highly available on some cluster. Using k8s that is simple, so why not do it from the start by just treating k8s as a slighly more powerful docker-compose.
The craft automated/remote (?) docking software was not installed. Craft requires a pilot to manually disengage from the ISS. Presumably nobody now wants a pilot to undock the station, abandon the craft, and then untethered space walk/fly back to the ISS.

Here was a story I quickly found. Software does exist and can be loaded, but was not installed when this entire thing began https://simpleflying.com/boeing-starliner-undocking-software...

… Additionally, it has emerged that Starliner's flight software is not capable of undocking autonomously, raising the risk of losing the spacecraft entirely if it is not flown back manually.

> The only thing I'm mad about is I owned some Twitter stock, but when Musk bought it I was cashed out against my desires.

You got lucky. Twitter's revenue is down 80% since it went private, and your shares would correspondingly be worth a tiny fraction of what they were originally worth if you still owned them. Musk has succeeded with other companies but his Twitter acquisition has been a total failure. He simply doesn't understand how to run a social networking company.
Great points about economic inequality killing people. But is framing it as a Sam Altman-vs-everybody story the correct way to analyze what's going on?

Not everybody has to work on every problem. Sam Altman can do his thing to improve life expectancy, without hindering Bernie Sanders's ability to do his thing to improve life expectancy.

It's not a zero sum game, and it is a serious problem--why not let everybody attack it in the best way they know how?
Android Total Commander has plugins for all above mentioned services. So they are well integrated together. I dont even have those official apps installed.
> lots of well off people are stupid

Sure, but being well-off can also cause mental distractions and suboptimal motivations.

Having resources, well-off parents can pay for help in addressing those problems, but they have to first recognize the problems, which is something they might be resistant to.

In the extreme form of this (in terms of wealth, learning problems, denial thereof, and poor academic performance), you get very wealthy people paying/bribing for elite credentials and access for their children.

I think Hacker News might appreciate some of the behind the scenes of this post.

Getting this page to load quickly was not trivial. The initial dataset of books starting sentences was over 20 megabytes. By only sending the unique prefix of each book, I was able to get that to be much smaller. Using a custom format, sorting the prefixes, and gzipping got the size down to 114kb. About 3 bytes per book. The full first sentences are downloaded on demand as the books are filtered down.

Rendering the books requires 5 million triangles. I used WebGL 2's drawArraysInstanced method. This allows me to define the book geometry only once, and each book is just defined by it's rotation/position/color. Then it's just a matter of keeping the fragment shader simple.

Going into this project, I wasn't sure if it was possible. But I have left feeling really impressed with how capable the web is these days if you are willing to push a bit.

And when they're knocked off course, they often develop math anxiety. It's a very real sense of dread that's been conditioned over time from test taking pressure, missing foundations, and underperforming.

Then they're not just lacking motivation, they're motivated to avoid math, which makes remediation more difficult. So sad.
Beyond the cost aspect that other commenters have referred to, they're evolving tech. They're the first ones to have a working full-flow staged combustion cycle rocket engine (the Raptor, currently used in the Starship prototypes), something the Soviets tried before and failed. Their Dragon capsule was also a gigantic technological leap relative to the admittedly tried-and-true Soyuz, and it also looks far more comfortable for astronauts than the Soyuz does.
