With the Starship the price to get a 100 ton object to orbit or one that is greater than 5 meters in diameter will suddenly become possible. Something previously cost infinity dollars will then be whatever price SpaceX charges. This is a decrease.

I like the idea, but I can't imagine using it for a few reasons.

1. There's a catch-22. In order to fetch binaries you need to first install eget.

2. You need to trust eget to not be (or become) malicious.

Perhaps #1 can be resolved by providing it as a proxy service and not an executable. For example, "wget eget.net/gopls@latest" which then usings eget on the server to grab/cache the binary and send it back.

Then again, that would mean putting even more trust in eget.
Technically, `a :: Num` would be declaring, or defining that `a` is of type `Num`. After you see `a :: Num`, you can assume from then on as you're reading the program that `a` has type `Num`; if something is incompatible with that assumption it will result in a compiler error. This is different from `Num a`, which is making the assertion that `a` is of type `Num`, but that assertion may evaluate as true or false. It's similar to how assignment is different from equality, so that most programming languages with C-style syntax make a distinction between `=` and `==`.

There's also the fact that `Num` is technically not a type, but a type class, which is like a level above a type: values are organized into types, and types are organized into classes. Though this is more of a limitation of Haskell: conceptually, type classes are just the types of types, but in practice, the way they're implemented means they can't be treated in a uniform way with ordinary types.

So that's why there's a syntactic distinction between `Num a` and `a :: Num`. As for why `Num` comes before `a`, there's certainly a reasonable argument for making it come after, given that we'd read it in English as "a is a Num". I think the reason it comes before is that it's based on the usual function call syntax, which is `f x` in Haskell (similar to `f(x)` in C-style languages, but without requiring the parentheses). `Num` is kind of like a function you call on a type which returns a boolean.

OK, but surely NASA would like multiple suppliers for all components, and the launcher is the hard part, so Blue Origin seem closer to being a (single vendor) alternative to SpaceX. They were also tendering for the Artemis moon landing vehicle.

"Starship launch produces 76,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (a measure combining different types of greenhouse gases in one unit). That's 2.72 times more emissions than those produced by a single SpaceX Falcon 9 launch"

Note, I did mis-quote when I said 28k tons of greenhouse gas, it is 28k tons of CO2 equivalent.

One of the worst books on this ever written was the very popular "Collapse" by Jared Diamond, which entirely neglects the role European colonialism played in decimating the island's population in favor of a 'they did it to themselves' narrative (which apologists for colonialism naturally embraced). The more accurate historical narrative looks something like this:

"In December 1862, Peruvian slave traders landed on Easter Island and captured approximately 1,500 Rapa Nui people, including much of the island's leadership and elite. The raids were brutal, and the kidnapped islanders were transported to the guano islands and plantations on the Peruvian coast. Of these 1,500 individuals, only a small fraction would ever return.Of the roughly 1,500 people taken, it is estimated that fewer than 100 survived to return home. By the mid-19th century, the island's population had been reduced to just a few hundred, down from an estimated 3,000–4,000 before the raids."

The invention of ammonia synthesis from atmospheric N2 via the Haber-Bosch process largely put an end to the guano industy and the slave labor that supported it. There's an excellent book, "The Alchemy of Air" by Thomas Hager that covers this history well:

The same thing you do on terra firma. You do your best to keep them calm, and talk them down. I've never had to physically restrain anyone, but seems like that would actually be easier to do on the ISS. Just wrap them up and let 'em float around

I'd also expect bad trips to not be as big of an issue in a NASA sanctioned experiment with a much more closely controlled dose vs some tab you got off the guy in a tye dyed t-shirt at the concert type of situation.
The story of Lichess | 4k Documentary [video]
I'm slightly confused. What the author seems to be saying (although he doesn't state it quite so directly) is that even if you specify "Endpoint = ip:port" in the configuration, that Wireguard will update that if it receives a correctly authenticated packet from a different IP address.

At first, I thought this sounded like a bug, but actually reading the documentation [1] it's clearly as-designed. It's referred to as "initial configuration" (their italics) and then explains how it updates.

I see there's an official mailing list for wireguard. Perhaps he should suggest a new feature there to disable that roaming functionality.

I don't disagree that space science is important. Space tourism on the other hand is a different thing in my opinion.
The total emissions a launch is responsible for is not limited to the weight of the fully fuelled rocket.

You've also got to include the emissions needed to extract/purify/cool/pump all that fuel/oxidiser (and any other consumables like nitrogen), a percentage of the construction emissions cost for the 1st stage, pre-flight refurb emissions, the whole of the 2nd stage, and some percentage of the Dragon capsule (including alterations made to it). Then you add all of the emissions of the ground operations needed for this flight including 1st stage recovery (and also any flight/boat diversions required from 3rd parties because of the exclusion zone).

I'm also assuming that the altitude you emit certain things at (e.g. aluminium vapourising in the atmosphere) changes their impact vs at ground level.

Personally, I think this mission is more worthwhile space tourism than Bezos who's pretending a high-altitude rocket flight that doesn't reach orbit is 'going to space'... at least they're testing new spacesuits on this mission.

I like haskell. Actually, let me rephrase that: I like GHC2021.

And I have found that's one of the tricky bits with Haskell, together with the language being in very active development, wich makes upgrading your compiler a thing.
Very off-topic but I’m glad you shared this. I get fixated a lot on language use and find it hard to accept that it evolves. Your approach to dealing with it sounds mature and it’s inspiring.
There was this radio propagation mapping software that would show you how far a wireless signal could go if you placed the antenna somewhere in the world and gave it some parameters.

You purchased preset 'lots' of about a square mile containing accurate terrain data to run the simulations, and if you were interested in an area that saddled two patches, you had to buy both (iirc you couldn't just specify arbitrary coordinates).

I had to spend some time figuring out how few patches we needed to make it 'worth it', but I don't remember the final figure; it must have been in the 5 digits all said and done?
Oh but the OCaml module system is the bees knees.

This was always a strange point of contention - Intel denied using memristors. I assume there were some sort of patent or trademark issues.

WP:

"Development of 3D XPoint began around 2012.[8] Intel and Micron had developed other non-volatile phase-change memory (PCM) technologies previously;[note 1] Mark Durcan of Micron said 3D XPoint architecture differs from previous offerings of PCM, and uses chalcogenide materials for both selector and storage parts of the memory cell that are faster and more stable than traditional PCM materials like GST.[10] But today, it is thought of as a subset of ReRAM.[11] According to patents a variety of materials can be used as the chalcogenide material.[12][13][14]

3D XPoint has been stated to use electrical resistance and to be bit addressable.[15] Similarities to the resistive random-access memory under development by Crossbar Inc. have been noted, but 3D XPoint uses different storage physics.[8] Specifically, transistors are replaced by threshold switches as selectors in the memory cells.[16] 3D XPoint developers indicate that it is based on changes in resistance of the bulk material.[2] Intel CEO Brian Krzanich responded to ongoing questions on the XPoint material that the switching was based on "bulk material properties".[3] Intel has stated that 3D XPoint does not use a phase-change or memristor technology,[17] although this is disputed by independent reviewers.[18]

According to reverse engineering firm TechInsights, 3D XPoint uses germanium-antimony-tellurium (GST) with low silicon content as the data storage material which is accessed by ovonic threshold switches (OTSes)[19][20] made of ternary phased selenium-germanium-silicon with arsenic doping.[21][22]"

If you've ever worked for a YC or Sequoia company, you're in a secret database with who you worked and how much you made that is accessible to other founders. The additional context is critical for startups to make competitive offers to startup employees. I don't see what the big deal is. If a worker is working at a company A making $80k, and they try to get a job a company B making $90k, the owner of company B needs to know they were only making $80k at their last firm, so they can make a good offer of $85k. $10k would be too much.
Rigid means higher air pressure which means less time in the airlock meaning longer missions.
I agree with this. I have a personal project that, even after years of working on it, still has as many features on the 'to do' list as have been completed. I would love to get help implementing them or testing the completed ones.

People will tell me that simply open sourcing it will make help magically appear. Not to say that cannot happen (sometimes it does), but the odds are against it.
Plus, big tech do fund fundamental research, a bunch of them are working on quantum computing for instance. None of that is likely to turn a profit any time soon and the research is expensive. But they do it anyway.
They have won other government contracts so they are in the running, I’m just talking about how the public feels.

As to moon missions, building a capsule from scratch would take at least 5 years and more likely a decade plus a few billion dollars at this point. Putting another company in charge of Boeing’s operations could be viable, but having a 3rd party show up just doesn’t seem viable on any kind of reason timescale.
I think it would've been better received if you elaborated a bit more on why you find it bad. And a bit more on where did it come from (how a gamedev world is compared to it). I mean i can guess what you meant, but it's a bit ambiguous in what way you meant that exactly.

if you make $1m a year, $100 is just a vip parking space.

Both people should be equally de-incentivized to illegally park in a disabled people parking spots. The proportional fines are the only way to get close enough to that state.
> Weight: You're adding about 500 lbs to the car to do this with ~20 miles of ev range.

No. The drive unit of a Tesla + 4 battery modules weighs 500 lbs. That's 21 kWh, 80 miles of range and 500 horsepower. And 300 lbs of that is in the drive unit; more common conversion kits weigh ~150 lbs. You could use 500 lbs of regular lead car batteries and still get way more than 20 miles.

I got mine February 2, the day it came out. You are correct in that there is virtually zero content for the device. But — A HUGE BUT — the content that is available is mindblowing on the virtual 60-foot screen:

"Avatar: The Way of Water" in 3D

"A Beautiful Planet" and "Deep Sky" in IMAX 3D

"Alicia Keys: Rehearsal Room" and "Highlining" Immersive Videos: 3D recorded in 8K with a 180° field of view + Spatial Audio

These are good enough that you forget about how uncomfortable the device is while you're watching.
Yeah I didn't mean any of this as a negative lol. I haven't touched haskell since I learned ocaml. I still think haskell has the edge as an educational language for functional programming and type systems though, which is kind of what we're talking about but not entirely.
Well, but apparently they let people create the architecture who just shouldn't have touched the backend code. That's the whole point. Since it was not just a single endpoint or so - it was everywhere!
> Except you might be calculating the material, personnel, property costs also. The launch itself doesn't release that much, but everything leading up to the launch might.

Yup, and the supply chain for all of those. At scale, that should go down to a small fraction above the direct emissions (certainly not an order of magnitude more). And if this never becomes at-scale, then we don't have a problem anyway.
Serverless Prometheus Playground: 13M+ time-series/hr and 13B+ samples/day
I was looking for the same thing. A project like this really needs an `examples/` directory with a few projects to sink your teeth into.

I've been thinking for years that if a project existed like this for Python it would take over the world. Golang is close, I guess.
Can't be taking risks. You might actually accomplish something.

Oodle is a fully managed, serverless metrics observability platform. It is a drop-in replacement for Prometheus that delivers fast performance at high scale. Oodle is 3x cheaper than Managed Prometheus and 10x cheaper than other commercial vendors.

Linux has a rich ecosystem, but the toolkit is haphazard and a little shakey. Sure, everyone uses it, because when we last evaluated our options (in like 2009) it was still the most robust solution. That may no longer be the case.

Given all of that, and taking into account building a product on top of it, and thus needing to support it and stand behind it, Linux wasn't the best choice. Looking ahead (in terms of decades) and not just shipping a product now, it was found that an alternate ecosystem existed to support that.

Culture of the community, design principles, maintainability are all things to consider beyond just "is it popular".

There's plenty of competition, especially from China.
Haskell is just hard when you get to the advanced stuff. I mean beyond monads there’s the state monad, lenses, etc. a lot of these are not trivial to wrap your brain around. Like for Java head first design patterns I read it and I’m good. For monads it took me weeks to wrap my head around it and I still don’t understand every monad.

Yeah I get a bunch of basic apps can be modeled easily, you get unparalleled static safety but programmers will spend an inordinate amount of time figuring out mind bending algebraic patterns.

I think something like ocaml or f sharp are more down to earth.

I am not prepared to hunt down the citation, but several years back I stumbled across a paper that was trying to compare the effectiveness of various languages for grinding out "domain logic-y" code. Among the ones they evaluated, Haskell came out on top in terms of both time to get the work done and correctness of the implementation.

IIRC this was testing with students, which would be both a strength and a weakness of the experimental design.
