What material is made the power cable ? I thought copper was getting more and more expensive ?
It sounds like you are knowledgeable about this stuff so if I don’t mind you asking:

Why is it a good idea to use a full human to turn a wheel? The way I understand what you are saying is that the conning officer shouts “5 degrees right rudder” and some dude listens to that and puts the rudder 5 degrees right. I understand that this makes sense if turning the wheel takes physical force. There is someone who provides the smarts which way to turn it, and someone who provides the raw power to do it. But if it requires no excertion to do it, didn’t we just made a shitty voice interface for the conning officer? With all the associated manning requirement and potential for mishearing orders, and potential for confusion? Wouldn’t it make more sense for the conning officer to tap in their desired rudder on the interface themselves?

Consistency is key. There could be days that you'll have a lot of hours.

But you need to set a minimum threshold / day to see real and hard progress ( eg. Meeting customer deadlines is harder, because it's not always what you want to be working on)
How many EU countries did you work in those 50 years?

Come to Austria and you'll see non-competes everywhere and they're enforceable since they're legal by federal labor/employment law since the private industry lobbied for them because quote "employees taking IP knowledge with them is the biggest threat to employers, bigger than industrial espionage".

In other EU companies you can find them too but they might not be enforceable if they're not backed up by local laws in those countries so always check local laws before doubting over non competes in contracts.

i feel like we only lose interest in a project when we get extra perfectionist. i tried this thing a week back where i had to finish doing my task at work (Marketing). instead of making it perfect i just tried to do. just finish it. if it marked all the checks then it was good to go.
The point is that the holistic approach can't work because there no "single complex system" but "many individual actors" under our control: we can't program the world, we can only program some specific actor between semi-independent others. Yes, we have States, rules in them, agreements, standards etc but we can't still program the whole not considering the program a valid model of the reality.

That's why the approach should be very careful in what to trust or not. Not only: there are various situation where it's not possible to avoid a crash but there are few possible crash options, the human might choose badly (for him/her, for someone else) but it's a personal choice. A machine choice it's the responsibility of the machine vendor if any. So even if today there are essentially a lack of norms on that topic being "so new essentially not existent", tomorrow we will need to state clearly it a car crash while self-driving ALL consequences, positive and negative must be on the car's OEM. As a result such ADAS will be less and less "acting" trying to protect their OEM more than anyone else, defeating the initial purpose.

The sole solution for this responsibility is that such systems are not made by a company but by an open community, so they are a product of humanity not of some vendor, and we are all partially responsible and partially in control of them. This of course can only exists in a society where universities are OPEN and FREE for all, funded by the public not some private interests, so all can participate depending on individual skills and will, not on wealth. FLOSS must be mandatory to avoid making it a business at all.

Something theoretically possible of course, but very unlikely in current societies...
Any issues with recursive and NOT MATERIALIZED? Recursive is pretty much the reason to use CTEs for me and NOT MATERIALIZED is essential there in most cases.
I don't think replacing an interview that fails older people that instead fails younger people is a good solution.
Some use Copper, but usually Aluminium is used.

Aluminium is far less dense, which in turn makes the whole cable bigger, which has other costs (eg. fewer kilometers of cable fit in a boat). Usually it's still the best choice overall though.

But if it's cheaper, let's take those easy wins and think about that later!
But if the wheel hides whether it has been turned and which way then chances of remediation of a situation are much lower.

I'm surprised that in the description of the incident there is no mention of a checklist like pilots use?
Curious if any interviewee has tried to unobfuscate the code.
Every time I see a question like this on HN, the answer can be found out with minimal effort. If you want to recommend some relevant alternative you use, just be honest and say that. If you really want to know, it would be reasonable to spend twenty seconds on the page, there’s a comparison table.
This post resembles how I’ve been feeling lately at work, too bad it’s been months like this now!
At this length aluminium would have been used instead most likely.

With a typical HVDC line not exceeding 1200mm2 conductor cross section it's about 13k tonnes, so 0,025% of global aluminium production.
Does anyone have any insight into how something so obviously broken can be released by such a large company? I'm honestly just confused how large companies with such immense resources put out such buggy software so consistently. Am I underestimating the complexity of a system like Sonos?
Just "infinitely curious individual" is a bookworm. Hacker would also like to tinker with the rules underlying the systems to see how things might break. So bookworm + tinkering + wants to understand complex systems (hackers call it "to grok"). Systems - not only computer systems, also biological, physical and any kind of complex assemblages of rules.
Nice, I usually use https://www.fakenamegenerator.com/ to find names on forums.
Compared to yours, I like the fact that it gives a first and last name. For example I just get "Arngrímur Nikulásson" (Finnish-Swedish), which I could use to create a GH account and start creating PR, let's say for a proglang, and people just thinks "this guy is from northern Europe, they are good with proglang over there". Sure it's delusional, people are not that naive.

My very first thought was: that cable gets snipped in wartime.

Not a big deal, if your grid can handle the loss, but this certainly can’t be the gameplan for the bulk of your power.
Thats dumb IMO to discriminate against OS. Very large number of startups do use Mac, do you offer same mentality to them?

While I don't condone complaining for the sake of complaining, I really don't see why I would use this.
Every argument feels very "floatey".

When I think of browser devs, I don't think about fancy UI, and blazingly fast speeds! I think about engineers who know what they're talking about.

I've never heard of floorp, and the arguments against librewolf are silly. On top of that, some of these "features" like themes, profile switching are already in FireFox. So again, why would I choose Zen?

I don't see how this project adds any value to the very mature FF, it's just piggybacking imo.
Huawei gifted me a SonosOne when I preordered the P30. The SonosOne has no Bluetooth, the voice assistant failed to set timers and the networking was unreliable. Sold it off.

I do have a SonosBeam2 now that's ARC'd on the TV. It doesn't work on WiFi (crappy engineering), but connecting an Ethernet cable is not too much to ask.

In the future, I want to use dumb speakers.

A lot of companies have a set of "standard" interview languages like Java or C++ that may not be used by the role that is being hired for.
Given how well the Australian project is going (it's a long running project that's already late before even starting) I'm convinced that this project will have the same woes which comes from the mere fact of being massive long-term infrastructure projects and have nothing to do with nuclear being special.

By the way, do you know what cost the most money on the HPC project? Loan interests, by a very large margin. Because of the risk of project failure given the lack of government guarantees, they had to borrow at a baffling 9% interest rate in a world if zero interest rate. This is the insanity that drove the cost to the sky, not the engineering side of things.

Balancing SaaS and Electronics Skills – Tips and Experiences Needed

As other commentors have pointed out, Japan uses NTSC. PAL is mostly a European thing.

As far as the SNES is concerned, PAL consoles simply letterbox the video and run the game 16.6% slower. Occasionally the game speed is modified to account for the decreased framerate. Super Metroid's engine was sped up so that gameplay was faster frame-by-frame and approximately as fast in wall clock time, but this introduced a number of bugs.

It wasn't until framebuffer based consoles like the Playstation where using the extra lines of PAL signal became common. Game speed was still a common issue until the Dreamcast and PS2 where game speed ceased to be an issue and optional 60Hz support was also common.

> I also dislike having to wait a few seconds upon starting/resuming a video for the controls to fade away.

I get the annoyance, but especially on mobile, it conversely helps if you want to advance the video by as few frames as possible to catch a freeze-frame gag or something like that. If the UI immediately disappeared upon resume, you'd have to triple tap to immediately pause the video again. (On desktop you can just mash the keyboard or even use a dedicated "advance one frame" key, but on mobile that's not available.)
Yeah - from a purely technical point of view it seems strange that you'd run a power cable 2000 miles to Singapore to service 4 million people, running alongside the coast of Bali, Java and Sumatra - population 210 million.

Presumably those in Singapore have a lot more buying power though. And the politics are more favourable for big capital investment projects.
Sure that's one way to live with it. Nobody would choose wrinkles if they had the choice though. So wear sun cream!

And given that now all the lore around it is about oxidation, I guess that's what stuck?

These old IRC dumps make me nostalgic instantaneously. There was a time not that long ago when we were still mostly fine with plain text for complex communications.
Short answer is yes.

Also, GPU pricing is hardly relevant. From now on we will see dedicated co-processors on the GPU to handle these things.

They will keep on keeping up with the demand until we meet actual physical limits.

> deploy launch pods under the sea, scoot, and then they launch when you've left the area

There are multiple dealbreaker for this: a) the launch pods need to be quite large in order to contain missiles and the surrounding infrastructure, probably including buoyancy control etc, b) submarines are veery slow so they need a long time to leave the area, c) the pods need to hang out near the surface to receive signals and to launch missiles, so they have a high risk of being detected before they can be used

It's probably more feasible to consider unmanned "disposable" submarines that can fire missiles. Still you have the problem of low speed and tricky communications though.
I wouldn't want Sonos even if they gave their products away for free. They like to stop supporting their devices and turn them into e-waste to force customers to buy their newer products. It's a speaker. It should play music until its hardware fails. It should certainly not stop working because someone decided they want more money.

What about the recent issue with their intention to sell their customers' data? No, Sonos, your business and products are garbage.
Agree. I've only recently received a title with proper seniority. People have been looking to me for leadership/guidance for longer.

A 'sufficiently capable' junior can run the show for a bit. I've been them, for better or worse. I'm great at the technical side but admittedly terrible at the 'softer' people aspect.

Multitudes, yo. Thanks to a lot of incident management experience, I'm the Dictator you want when the sky is falling. However, I'm absolutely best ignored when it comes to politics or making plans months out. My bias here is more apparent than normal, stability.

Titles are made up, just like the rest. Trying to apply these too much is suspect
Resistance stays the same, loss due to resistance goes down. I’m not sure it halves either, it might be better than halving but I’m not sure myself.

Edit:
Basic power loss formula is P=I^2R, so yes power loss is divided by 4 for a 2x increase in voltage assuming the target power delivered is held constant.
> I use the most aggressive attackers as my threat model.

Is that what you chose out of interest, or do you actually need it? I will assume the former, because that's how your question sounds.

My answer in that case would be: you need to work on your threat model. It is tempting to say "I want the best security, therefore I will define my threat model as 'the most aggressive one'". But that is a fallacy: the best security model is the one that fits your use-case best, not the one that defends against most attackers.

Security is always a tradeoff. Remember that you need security fundamentally because what you want to do has some inherent risk (small or high). The whole point is to decide what risk you can afford and find a security model that is acceptable under those conditions. If you say "I can't take any risk at all", then the answer is always "don't do anything at all".

But if you say "I am making a connected fridge for my home and I really want to make sure that the NSA won't be able to shut it down remotely", then the answer is most likely that your threat model is wrong. Because you actually don't really care about the NSA shutting down your fridge: you can probably live with that risk.

To go back more concretely on your specific question ("which OS should I use against the most aggressive attacker?"), it means that you are probably simply not competent to defend against the most aggressive attacker. There is no such thing as "the most secure OS" if you don't know how to configure and use it properly, and there is arguably no such thing as "security against the most aggressive attacker".

If that's out of interest, I would suggest you pick a realistic threat model and try to reason about it. If you have an actual need (e.g. you need to contact a journalist or something), then try to be more specific than "the most aggressive attacker".

Yeah but a product engineer as the title suggest it's not just software engineering, and a software engineer, in theory, can achieve greater depth of understanding in engineering than a product engineer because they're not saddled with product context.

This expansion of the engineer role is very common now, and I think it's what causes a lot of bad software. Managers and product owners have somehow offloaded their responsibilities unto engineers and the worst part is that this is a double standard because it's not like everyone is learning to code. Only engineers get to manage teams and figure out business requirements, but managers and product owners don't learn to contribute, let alone understand the software.
Well, it wasn't there when I first learned SQL by reading the PostgreSQL manual. I recall that this was back when the size of TEXT columns was limited, so it was before version 7.1 (which introduced TOAST tables), released 13 April, 2001.

So yeah, if you first learned SQL around 25 years ago, something added only 15 years ago is "somewhat recent". And according to a link posted in another comment, other databases introduced this feature (non-recursive WITH clauses) even later.

It is really depend on the hardware you want to make the emulator. Usually there are 2 kind:

1. Emulate the whole system.
2. Emulate the system API.

The first one you write the code to emulate the CPU of target system like OP code interpreter (e.g. NES). The second one you write the code to re-implement the API of the target system (e.g. Wine). For the second one you may need to write a JIT compiler if the target system use a different CPU architecture (e.g. PS3).

Most modern console emulator are the later one because how the modern console work is similar to how the PC work. It have an OS kernel and a user-mode libraries for applications.

For the latter one there are 2 kind of it. The first one is emulate the user-mode libraries and the second one is re-implement the console kernel and reuse the system libraries from the console itself.
Only slightly tongue in cheek, but if your measure of success is Reddit, perhaps a better example may serve your argument?

> "... how the world works"

This is the most generic trap of all. Get good at something and then extrapolate to claim that you know how everything works. I suggest that, given the insane proliferation of valueless derivatives and ejection of human values from these systems, a more suitable conclusion might be that this is how the world dies.
