Photon waves are EM waves and particles, by the Particle-Wave Duality.

Photons behave like fluids in superfluids; "liquid light".

Also, the paths of photons are affected by the media of transmission: gravity, gravitational waves, and water fluid waves bend light.

Photonic transmission and retransmission occurs at least in part by phononic excitation of solids and fluids; but in the vacuum of space if there is no mass, how do quanta propagate?

Optical rogue waves > Principles: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_rogue_waves :

> Supercontinuum generation with long pulses: Supercontinuum generation is a nonlinear process in which intense input light, usually pulsed, is broadened into a wideband spectrum. The broadening process can involve different pathways depending on the experimental conditions, yielding varying output properties. Especially large broadening factors can be realized by launching narrowband pump radiation (long pulses or continuous-wave radiation) into a nonlinear fiber at or near its zero-dispersion wavelength or in the anomalous dispersion regime. Such dispersive characteristics support modulation instability, which amplifies input noise and forms Stokes and anti-Stokes sidebands around the pump wavelength. This amplification process, manifested in the time domain as a growing modulation on the envelope of the input pulse, then leads to the generation of high-order solitons, which break apart into fundamental solitons and coupled dispersive radiation

FWIU photonic superradiance is also due to critical condition(s).

>> This means that hard-to-measure optical properties such as amplitudes, phases and correlations—perhaps even these of quantum wave systems—can be deduced from something a lot easier to measure: light intensity [given Huygens' applied]

TODO: remember the name of the photonic effect of self-convolution and nonlinearity and how the wave function interferes with itself in the interval [0,1.0] whereas EM waves are [-1,1] or log10 [-inf, inf].

The belief of "I should" is one of the core part for Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD, not confused with OCD). The behaviour is largely driven by the anxiety of "fail to e.g. be citizen" and sometimes is considered a little extreme from others' view.
When there is no reason to display it, i find it weird tbh. Not aggressive, just weird and uncomfortable. I get it for sports or official ceremonies, but else it often just seems to either seek conflicts (Hooligans), or more often, seek cheap branding.

And there is ways to display it. A pub calling itself "Penny Lane" and displaying a liver bird is totally fine, but when an english pub looks excessively, in-your-face english, i just can't, and i would bet most englishmen living in the same city couldn't either. It's just so weird.
Yes, to rescue two other people stranded on the ISS who were supposed to return home weeks ago.
If you're in the ocean and your ship breaks down and another ship adjusts its plans to come pick you up, is that a rescue?

If there were no changes needed to the subsequent flight to accommodate two additional riders, sure, not a rescue. But there are, and that's important from multiple perspectives (not least of which is cost)

> normal and expected crew rotation, they just kicked a few people off the mission so that there would be open seats

That’s neither normal nor expected!

Go back to the age of exploration. A crew’s ship strands them on an island. Another ship was due to come anyway in 6 weeks, and the crew have enough food to last them that interval. They use witches to tell the coming crew of their problems, and that ship agrees to lighten its load to make room for the stranded.

This is a rescue! It’s an easy rescue. But so was, like, pulling my puppy out of the neighbor’s pool when it went under the cover.

At some point, we decided that compilers were good enough to convert code into assembly to just use them. even if an absolute master could write better assembly than the complier, we moved over to using compilers because of the advantages offered.
Edit: rereading this, it comes off slightly accusatory or hostile. That's not my intention, I'm genuinely curious why there's this perception that modern cars are underpowered.

Under-powdered? I'll definitely agree with you on hating everything being pushed to a crappy iPad mounted in the dash, but what period of cars are you comparing to where today's cars are underpowered? If anything, I think it's the opposite, even a basic econobox has HP numbers that are above what an older performance vehicle used to have.

KA24E (1990 240SX), 134HP [0]
FA24D (current Toyota GR86 & Subaru Brz), 228–234 hp [1]
The corolla has a ton of different engine options, the base US model (that car and driver complains about being sleepy) has 169HP [2]

So a older 240, which was a performance car and is still a ton of fun to drive, is 35HP down from the base-spec current gen corolla. The corolla just doesn't feel like it has any power, but it has no issues getting up to speed on a freeway entrance ramp. Whereas an economy car of the same vintage as that 240 will definitely struggle to do so.

I come from a country where the Anglo-American tradition of participatory self-government is a totally alien concept. They view government as a parental entity and would be perfectly happy with a well functioning autocracy like China’s. This is true of my family members who became naturalized citizens, even after decades in America.

There is one party that benefits from people with foreign mindsets participating in American elections.
Elegant maybe in the 1980s before compilers got properly complicated. Now they’re a weird anachronism.

I’m old enough to have worked on c++ when it was a precompiler called cfront and let me tell you trying to work out whether your macro was doing something weird or the cfront processor did something weird was very frustrating. I swore off macros after that.

You can use it to generate beautiful documents, collaborate with DevOps, and basically ditch LaTeX for good.

Any feedback or people like/dislike about latex, pandoc, word and anything in between is welcomed, but I wont promise i will implement then ;)

It was a disaster for Boeing, it was not a disaster for the astronauts. Extending stays at the station is not unheard of for test flights, the Crew Dragon test flight also involved the crew staying longer than initially intended, as NASA decided that it'd be a more effective use of resources to do so.

SpaceX did not have to bump 2 trained astronauts to return them to Earth. That was simply the cheapest, least disruptive way to bring them back. There has always been the option of sending a dedicated Dragon for them, but that would require NASA to pay for an entire additional Dragon mission just to bring two people back who are in no urgent need of bringing back.

You go to an island for your employer, and the ferry breaks down once you get there. While your employer can send another ferry soon to bring you back, they ask if you'd be okay staying for a rotation because that'd be more convenient for them. They also arrange a means for you to leave in case of an emergency. You're enjoying the island, so you agree. The replacement ferry is not a rescue.

Starliner made the uncrewed return just fine, which means that on NASA's side, the return to flight should not be too complicated (well, besides showing that the doghouse deformation issues have been resolved) and should not involve a redo of this flight. What remains to be seen is what position Boeing takes on it, as they have been very quiet over if they're going to continue in Commercial Crew.
But then it’s still nice that they’re using ScyllaDB and now it’s not a concern at all right?

Even if they were using their original solution wrong, I think the solution that cannot use wrong is superior.
And yet the alternative is worse.
Also MTG was how I got into poker! I’d travel to the tournaments or game cons, wait for people to bust out, and then get a game started.

In the late 90’s every big MTG tournament had a poker game going. It got to the point where game stores had to ban it because nobody was even playing Magic anymore.

That was the much less seedy side of underground poker. So much fun.
I've always liked Drew, but I must admit these articles are wearing me down.

The tech-capable, opinionated Drew of yore is being eaten by the hyper-online new Drew, who seems to be perpetually caught up in some social media outrage or another. Neat blog posts about OSdev and compilers have given way to armchair psychology about celebrities, animated by Mastodon-based arguments that fundamentally make no sense - and are of no interest - to anyone not on social media.

Is Stallman neurodivergent? (1) You're not even remotely equipped to answer this question, Drew, and (2) in what way does this matter? In as far as Stallman says stupid nonsense about consent, he is wrong. People express stupid opinions all the time.

Were someone to defend Stallman's stupid opinions because he is claimed to be neurodivergent, this is irrelevant, his opinions remain bad. It's important to remain compassionate to people with bad opinions, no matter their origin, but this does not extend to any level of acceptance or approval of said opinions.

Were Stallman to do something illegal, and were someone to defend it because he is claimed to be neurodivergent, this is likewise irrelevant, in as far as 'neurodivergence' is not generally sufficient to constitute a criminal defence of mental illness in most jurisdictions. Particularly when the diagnosing physician is... blogs?

Absolutely none of this debate is meaningful. None of this is effecting meaningful social or political change. None of this is making the world a better place. The vast majority of the world does not know or care what Mastodon discusses, and the only outcomes of said discussion are anger and sadness amongst the participants, and the diversion of focus and energy that could have been used for - say - volunteering, or actual meaningful social advocacy.
Lol, people still shilling for Boeing at this point.

You owe me the barrels and not needing to worry about the details of how you fulfill that contract is one of the things that makes contracting stuff out useful.

> Is that a rescue?

Well, was there an accident? It seems like the astronauts staying extra long is to avoid an accident. Does their need to be an accident to call it a rescue?
Money by David McWilliams review – the story of cold hard cash
Some, yeah. I grew up with the 1990’s OGs. Outside my project and literally across the street was a pocket of county within city limits and all the Hmong and Laos families lived like that there. I courted a girl that lived with like 15 people in a 2 bed 1 bath house there. But the families in my project had to follow government rules with respect to the number of people living in one unit.
Following the analogy... you're on an island. A ferry has showed up at the island every six months or so for the last 40 years. The last ferry that showed up broke before it could leave the harbor. No need to worry, though. Another ferry's coming in six months and there are plenty of supplies on the island.

Is it rescue? Maybe in the sense that you can't leave when you wanted to and now you have to wait. But not in the sense that you were ever in any real danger.

(Admittedly, maybe there is a bit more danger for these astronauts because a malfunctioning spacecraft is inherently a bit of a safety hazard. And the SpaceX operation is certainly not as routine as a ferry showing up at a dock, though it's still safe.)

It seems that it is both a bit subjective whether one calls it "rescue," and also a bit sensationalized to put in a headline too.
I wonder if that's true. With the volume of taxis necessary to replace busses, you have to think about the increased fuel and maintenance costs, the increased costs related directly to traffic, and indirectly in the form of losses from accidents, etc.
If Matt thinks he has a legitimate trademark claim, file it in court, don't play games with 3.5 million WordPress end-users that are now cut off from security updates -- including all users of the ACF plugin that aren't even WPE customers. This blog post did nothing to explain the logic behind Matt's actions (and shifting explanations for them). The only convincing sounding explanations I've found have been on Twitter, and they all revolve around WP's stagnation and Automattic's market weakness, not anything WPE has done, and nothing that will end if WPE pays the extortion demands.

Yeah, Rewind is super useful and this is just a clone of it for Windows. It's your browser history but works for everything.

You can not trust Microsoft and that's totally valid, I don't, but I also don't use Windows. It's a really stupid line to draw if this is the straw. They control the entire OS, basically force online accounts, have been confusing the line between remote and local storage for
years, exfiltrate local searches to Bing, track everything for in-app and in-os advertising and send undisableable telemetry. Does this feature just lay bare the reality you've been living under for years?
> it's a regular crew rotation mission with modifications

Standard but modified is an oxymoron. This is an irregular mission.

NASA plans with tonnes of redundancy. That’s paying off here. Being prepared doesn’t poof away a fuck-up, it just means you can take it in stride. Starliner stranded two astronauts in space. Dragon is fixing that. Being saved from being stranded sure as hell sounds like being rescued, even if it’s close to routine.

> Starliner was still deemed to be safe enough to be the emergency escape option while it was docked

This is a threshold met by a torn parachute on a jet.

Your villa is totally incomparable to space or a space station.

Hypothetically:

- fully loaded means there’s electricity and phones? Call a Taxi?

- walk to a near town shop, buy car parts and fix the car if you have the skills

None of those hypotheticals are even remotely possible in space. It’s a bad comparison.

> It's a project management app. It does nothing else.

I would say it doesn't do that very well. You can't manage projects without mapping out dependencies, visually and with integrated relationship tracking. JIRA is miserable at this.
I don't think it's unintuitive at all. 100% optimized means 100% without slack. No slack means any hitch at all will destroy you.
So is this a reflection on Boeing engineering culture? Seems it would be, I remember comments from previous articles saying it is.

I'm not opposed to this program or dispute the results. But it would be much more broadly effective to remove one digit from housing prices, chiefly by removing the artificial supply restrictions that have caused them to inflate so much over the last 5 decades.

Programs like Down Payment Assistance siphon off public money from worthier causes and dump it into the housing pyramid scheme. I'm afraid a lot of UBI money might be destined for the same fate. The same goes for tech salaries in places like here in the Bay Area.
I don’t think the author understands what efficiency measures.

All of the examples involve a bad proxy metric, or the flawed assumption that spending less improves the ratio of price to performance.

Wow this sounds so entitled. The more i read posts from the pro-automattic side, the more it sounds WPEngine is in the right.

Yes its nice if people contribute back. It is however optional. Not just in the well-technically sense, but in the broader moral sense.

If you give something away for free, wait for someone to build a business around it, and then say, well actually its not free, there are strings: that is unethical. That is a bait and switch.

If you want to sell a project, than you should sell it. If you want to make it open source, then don't be surprised when people use it as such. You can't just change the terms of the deal because one of the companies using your open source product happens to make a bunch of money.

A credible deterrent is required in order to prevent the mighty from simply taking everything.

For the last few decades Western countries aside from the US have basically just sat on their laurels assuming that, well, we're in the end of history and nothing will ever go wrong again. A rude awakening.

A sure fire way to ensure that there _is_ war is to sit about and sing kumbaya around the fire until the invaders turn up.

Occhams razor might say the reasons to downplay this incident are overwhelmingly more attractive.

- Boeing is a fortune 50 company and is a direct contributor to news media advertising revenue.

- Boeing is a darling of US aerospace and a bulwark of us international projection of soft power and defense. Telling the truth will destroy the us aircraft market.

- china does not have this problem with its space program. The comac airliner also directly competes with Boeing's beleaguered 737

- loss of confidence in the us space program at the vehicle level jeopardizes trust from consumers and insurance companies in the us space products market like satellite launches.

It's worth noting that the astronauts in question have little to no control over the schedule, so "perfectly capable of coming back early" isn't a fair assessment in this context.

Coming back "early" would also occur at a cost of either tens of millions of dollars for an extra launch, or at a cost of valuable experiments not getting run because the space station was empty of personnel. NASA policy would prohibit the remaining astronauts from... well, remaining, because they have to have a lifeboat, which the two "rescuees" would have just used to go home. Thus, all of them would have to go home.

IOW, painting this as "normal operations" in any sense is disingenuous. The danger levels may not be overly exacerbated, but it was a very costly failure, and it may well be a drastic inconvenience to the astronauts. We likely won't know the truth of the latter until they write their memoirs.

It's easy to manage spin when the opinions being spun are in orbit on a restricted communication system.
