the space shuttle was "reusable". It had to be taken apart and meticulously cleaned and tested and basically had to be rebuilt after each flight, in a process called turnaround. SpaceX's rockets are much closer to what you'd consider reusable.

Btw while this code doesn't win a prize, I agree with the author that functional style is worth it in many cases, even for a language as wordy and cumbersome as PHP. I still love PHP - its deployment story is still unparalleled and its standard library came batteries included since forever.
Someone with high self control that wants to be non-obese, has a nearly 100% chance of accomplishing that goal. Literally by definition.
The FAA needs more funding at this point. They're not staffed for the rate of launch requests which commercial space has grown too.
There is already a link to the tutorial on the startup screen.
I wonder why Hugo is still on a <1 version. It has existed for 11 years now. Is it really so hard to design a stable API for themes and content?

People in the comments as well as Julia in the article are mentioning breaking changes. I would imagine committing to a stable API and signaling this through a v1 release would show respect to the time of your users.
Built a Platform for Not-in-the-Market and Unique Tech Gadgets
I’ve always been into latest, first-in-market tech—like limited smart wearables for health tracking, XR glasses, and smart clothing that monitors.
But, most of the time, many of these products are made by startups still ramping up production or unable to get trails of the newest addition. It’s very frustrating to see unique products but can’t get my hands on…

After chat w/ investor friends, we created Adacyb.org — a platform connecting tech enthusiasts directly with new tech gadgets, health products, or biohacking kits. We want to make it easy for anyone to discover and access unique products that are hard to get, so you can get cool things before others do.

What started as a personal mission became a passion project with a tiny team—just 2 tech product lovers (1 investor and 1 product manager), plus an engineer who brings out ideas to life. Along the way, we are creating our own edgy, quirky, prettier tech gadgets from health wearables (1st drop) to smart clothing (upcoming), Sauna tech to DJ tech, blending aesthetic with functionality.

We want to know ur thought:
what do you think?
Have you faced similar challenges trying to find new tech products?
If you’re interested, we’d love for you to join us on our journey of making tech fun again.

Check us out and let’s build something cool together: adacyborg.com

Would love to hear from you!
There’s a difference between “caloric intake reduces obesity related mortality causes like diabetes” and “caloric intake extends lifespan”. Even though they’re related, the latter is claiming everyone would benefit from it including those that aren’t obese and is fighting some kind of fundamental aging mechanism caused by eating while the former is just saying how to fix the American diet to fix obesity and diabetes.
I'd be happy to break terminal mode (which I almost never use) in exchange for getting this feature.

From the article:

> “Unfortunately, from a scientific point of view, we can’t really evaluate what was in the documentary because they offered no data from the analysis whatsoever,” Antonio Alonso, a geneticist and former director of Spain’s National Institute of Toxicology and Forensic Sciences told El País.

So, baseless speculation used by the Spanish regime to claim Christopher Columbus as Spanish during the Spanish national day?

The funny part is that none of this matters for things other than nationalist talking points.
> I don't know how you walk away from the 30 minute trip

You never drove with the DB before I take it (die Bahn - German trains). You routinely have that a 30min trip takes multiple times of what it should.

* train coming in late
* no replacement
* suddenly from another track
* people taking their life
* missing the follow train
* having to wait because an ICE gets priority

You don't know how many trips I had to cancel because coming 3 hours to late (when starting the trip 30min early) isn't viable.

Yeah sure being in a traffic jam sucks! Big time. I hate it with all my heart, but I then start playing a podcast or calming music and actually get something out of it. It's actually not so nervewracking if you change your mindset. It bothers me more that I know that my mileage will tank for that short while... But yeah if I can I stay at home...
Hrm. I guess the converse applies if nodes can have infinite children. That said, even if your tree is infinitely wide and deep, we're only dealing with countable children, right? Thus a complete traversal has to exist, right?

For example, each node has unique path to root, so write <n1, n2, ..., nk> where each ni is the sibling ordinal of the node at depth i in that path, i.e. it's the ni-th sibling of the n(i-1)st node. Raising each of these to the ith prime and taking a product gives each node a unique integer label. Traverse nodes in label order and voilà?

However, that all assumes we know the tree beforehand, which doesn't make sense for generic call trees. Do we just smash headfirst into Rice on this when trying to traverse in complete generality?
All you're saying is the it's harder to make some choices depending on situation. They are still 100% choices. Choices don't have to be trivially easy.
What are you bringing to the table other than the idea? Do you have a design? Wireframes? The first few customers?

My generic advice would be to create the smallest useful version of your app, and see if you can get any traction with it.
Ahead of its time for sure. Dream is an accurate term here, that driving scene does resemble driving in dreams.

Think of the word ‘reusable’ in this case as less a binary descriptor but more of a scale of reusability.

Yes, both systems are reusable, but there are key differences in the refurbishment of the systems that partly explains the cost difference. It took more labor, resources and time to refurbish the shuttle. Also consider rapid reusability was a stretch goal when it was being designed, but we have come a loooong way since, spacex in particular has had it as a driving competitive differentiator for years now.

Another big difference is that NASA post Cold War was a skilled jobs program, with an incentive to do distributed, high overhead work to appease their bosses (congress), while SpaceX has the opposite.
This is a YC Startup writing incognito. If you have a horror story, you can send it to the newsletter.

“I found my cofounder on LinkedIn. We got along well, but early on, I noticed how slow he was. He insisted on being a "full cofounder" and CTO, and I gave him the space to grow, even trusting his decision to build in PHP from scratch. We raised $1M, but progress was slooooow, and soon, runway was running out.

The worst part? He deleted all our code and data, setting us back to square one. He also never took our word for what users wanted. He ended up building what he thought was right, ignoring feedback. Eventually, we had to cut the engineering team, and the CTO took time off. But things took a turn for the worse—he refused to leave, stirred up drama, kicked collaborators off Slack, and even recorded meetings without permission.

Legal battles, deleted accounts, and a rogue CTO who just wouldn't quit—this story has it all. If you've ever faced cofounder drama, you’ll relate.”
Shuttle SRB segments were fished from the ocean and refilled.
It's trained on moving around dust2, so as long as the previous frame was a view of dust2, the next frame is very likely to be a plausible subsequent view of dust2. In some sense, this encodes a map; but it's not what most people think of when they think about maps.

I'd be interested to see what happens if you look down at your feet for a while, then back up. If the ground looks the same everywhere, do you come up in a random place?
If a site aims to commoditize shared expertise, royalties should be paid. Why would anyone willingly reduce their earning power, let alone hand away the right for someone else to profit from selling their knowledge, unattributed no less.

Best bet is to book publish, and require a license from anyone that wants to train on it.
States are organizations of people. Boosted representation isn’t compelling to people who don’t care, but the people in smaller states do care. It means more fed govt consideration when it comes to regulatory decisions and funding.

Your post of “bUt thEYre nOt pEOple” is pointless. When people talk about the rights of governments nobody is saying that the government is a person.

It's an interesting question. The world has had 30 years to come up with a StackOverflow alternative with friendly mods. It hasn't. So the question is that has someone tried hard enough or can it be done it the first place.

I am Stack overflow mod, dealing with other mods. There is definitely unnecessary hostility there, but most of question closes and downvotes Go 90% to low quality questiond which lack proper professionalism to warrant anyone's time. It is remaining 10% that turns off people.

We can also take analogs from the death of Usenet.
It's about time. Not sure why people present it like it's a bad thing.
>Stackoverflow mods and power users being arseholes reduces the use of Stackoverflow

While they are certainly not perfect, they willingly spend their own spare time to help other peoples for free. I disagree with calling them arseholes.
I suspect there's already a whole "refurbishment" process for the crane even for non-reusable launches, and once it's working darn reliably, they can just have a bunch of them ready to go, and cycle once in a while.

It might be fine for casual players, but it would prevent serious and pro players from getting into the game. In Counter-Strike, for example, pro players (and other serious players) practice specific grenade throws so they can use them reliably in matches.

I'd like to throw my two cents into the "my experience is limited but I like it better than LaTeX" ring. Because, in my limited experience, Typst is easier and faster than LaTeX by a lot.

I'd like to emphasize how important it is that Typst is a collaborative web-app like Overleaf-- 100% of the LaTeX use I saw in academia was on Overleaf.
It's an interesting engineering question, not a slight.

Obviously the primary mission was successful, in spite of anomalies (good system design!), but people are and should be curious about this aspect.

Has to be led and not laser but still it's a fantastic idea and I wonder how long until air quality sensors start appearing in phones so there is a huge crowdsourced sampling at any event (some high end phones already have temperature and humidity sensors).

They should make it work without a phone though, use the Apple and Garmin APIs to make it work with those watches directly?

I also expect modern devices to have their own downloadable memory at this point without a phone tether needed for sampling (especially at a $100 price point)
Very nice! Please count this as one more request for it.
There’s a little subtlety to it. In some (all?) parts of Asia it’s intentional misinformation to reduce power usage.
Style nit: This is a badly written article; it about to a series of inconclusive quoted from experts duct taped together.

General observation:
Discussions about not eating meat in popular and social media seem to forget that 2/3rds other world don't exist. India, te most populous nation consists of 30~40% vegetarians and the rest have a very low animal protein diet compared to western standards. This is the same for much of east and south asia. The diet is heavily plant based, is healthy, nutritious and delicious, and does not contain much processed ingredients. It has been this way for hundreds if not thousands of years. Animal farming culture is very different and less industrialized. Many countries don't have a dairy industry to speak of even though dairy products are consumed.
Whether you're a non meatertarien on nutritional or ethical grounds, the east seems to have an answer for you. So you can stop eating meat...or you know eat less of it and still have a good time. I'm not sure why we in the west keep talking as if it's not possible without having some conglomerate reinvent meat for the 11th time.

Then don’t buy from Amazon. Haven’t used Amazon directly for at least 3 years now. 1-day shipping is very overrated and the pressures AMZN puts on the people behind the network are not worth it.
That's $7 of fuel per pound of payload, that is not bad at all.
I think the actual reason people can't do it is that we avoid situations with high risk and no apparent reward. And we aren't sufficiently supportive of other people doing surprising things (so there's no reward for trying). I.e. it's a modern culture problem, not a human brain problem.

> Odd statement

Its not an odd statement if you can be bothered to read it in context, i.e. this discussion. :)

We are talking, here, about somebody who has posted a blog post clearly written through the tint of rose-tinted spectacles, trying to convince the world that OpenBSD is the best thing since sliced bread.

AND YET

Many of the things the author chooses to promote, "Installing OpenBSD can be as easy as just hitting Enter", "I upgraded to 7.6 yesterday, the whole process took less than 20 minutes, was fully automated" etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. are all things that would not have been possible for the author to evangelise about anywhere more than 5 years ago (sysupgrade @ OpenBSD 6.6), and in many respects less than that (lots of other stuff that came much later).

Hence my statement ... lets not pretend OpenBSD has always been like this, because it has not.

Because, let's be honest, most other mainstream OS's have had, for example, sysupgrade-type capability much-much-much longer than 5 years.

The OpenBSD devs could, if they wanted to, have done sysupgrade/syspatch a long-long time ago. But for a long-long time it was nothing but an opinionated decision that they did not. I have recollections of people asking it on the misc mailing list and being shot down by the core-devs.
> And frankly, states are already giving up their representation in the current system. If you're not a swing state, you're irrelevant.

You’re talking about presidential elections, which are a tiny slice of the picture. Wyoming has 2 senators and so does California. That’s huge for Wyoming.

> It was a valid debate back when travelling to the capitol took months by horse. Nowadays everyone uses services from other states on a daily basis, and possibly work in another state (with WFH) on a daily basis. It's pretty darn clear that the USA simply could not exist as a bunch of separate states anymore.

None of this is relevant because crossing states to work has been a thing since the founding of the country. The only meaningful difference between the founding and now is the massive expansion of the duties of the federal government
Why do you think Elon can buy the Supreme Court. I am not making that argument you are.
Yeah, my guess is that it'll fall on either side of the same go/c vs c++/rust "simple rules with more implicit rules in your head" vs "complex tool with less in your head" divide in people's opinion.
The conclusion doesn’t seem to follow?

It assumes that decision makers elsewhere in the world can’t get forewarning.

But it’s impossible to hide any project development on that scale from spies, or even just plain corruption, so now that decision makers across the world know that at least the launch mechanisms are possible… the moment such program preparations are detected on a scale that can’t be explained away as noise will result in them activating every panic button they have.
> He told me that his father’s experiences in the RAF led him to insist that the family sat at the back of the plane – and the only survivors were seated at the back. He had the right parents.

Interesting... will be getting seats at the back from now on!
It’s not different. The same word applies to both.
To a degree, yes. I only open source work where I expect reciprocal value from other contributions.
I'm not saying one can make specifically Counter-Strike on a non-deterministic engine -- that seems like strawmanning my argument.

People play and enjoy many games with varying levels of randomness as a fundamental component, some even professionally (poker, stock market). This could be made such a game.
> for the odds to be anything more than that [zero] would require some reason, and that reason, whatever it might be, would be something

p=0 and p=1 both satisfy this. Given the probability exists (and, you know, we’re talking about it) only p=1 satisfies.
Well, it doesn't make sense to use this exact model - this is just demonstration that it can learn world model from pixels.

An obvious next step towards a more playable game is to add state vector to the inputs of the model: it is easier to learn to render the world from pixels + state vectors than from pixels alone.

Then it depends what we want to do. If we want normal Counter Strike gameplay but with new graphics, we can keep existing CS game server and train only the rendering part.

If you want to make Dream-Counter-Strike where rules are more bendable then you might want to train state update model...
We're going to need a dedicated FSA (federal space agency) at this rate, which should do most of the heavy lifting (ha) for the FAA and just use them for NOTAMs and TFRs.
The main difference is that this is built by a private corporation who can't afford to throw money away, while the Space Shuttle was build by the government, and moreover it had to fulfill a number of conflicting requirements, and commercial profit was not one of them.

But on a more technical level. I think the vertical landing is the main difference. Vertical landing was obviously known and done by NASA, this is how the lunar modules landed on the Moon. But doing it on Earth, with vehicles weighing hundreds of times more, I don't think the world had that technical readiness a few decades ago, when the space shuttle was designed.

And another major difference is the mass manufacturing idea. From the start SpaceX planned for getting to mass manufacture its rockets. The Falcon rockets are much cheaper than any other alternatives even if you remove the reusability.

Then it's the methane burning engines. This was pure old fashioned engineering progress. SpaceX's engines are miracles of rocket engineering. Aside from that, the fuel choice is extremely smart. Methane is better than all other fuels, except for hydrogen. Hydrogen was the fuel of the space shuttle, but it's very tricky to work with. It has very low volumetric density, so the tank of the space shuttle was absolutely humongous. Hydrogen needs to be stored at an absurdly low cryogenic temperature, so this adds to the complexity. And that tank was not reusable, so it adds to the cost.
That is a really good way to draw some crushing fines and law-enforcement attention; the FAA is not a local taxi committee, and they do take seriously the safety of bystanders. That said, if you want to take that route, build out ops in less-regulated countries. Iirc, that's part of the reason Zipline started scaling in Africa (along with greater need).
Yes, that’s the argument for all subsidized things.
which other idea
The one flaw I see in the premise of this article is that, very often, high performers are much smarter and more capable than their managers, so expecting managers to recognize the talent and not be threatened by it when they do is unrealistic.
