Hey! I'm CEO of Payload and want to make sure we resolve any bugs you found. Pretty much the whole team is focused on closing issues right now as we work toward 3.0 stable so depending on when you were trying out Payload, I'd imagine you might see lots of the bugs you faced as already resolved.

Keystone would be my other vote though, if I were looking for a CMS and Payload didn't exist. I think that is a solid crew.

cognitive control, apols.
how the turntables. Back in the 80s my grandfather (N4MDB RIP) had a ham radio in his car and used something called an "autopatch" which could dial phone numbers. He'd call my grandma and say we were going shopping or whatever. Everybody from the shack could listen in with their radios.

He tried to get me interested in ham radio but at the time I was exploring the internet and ham seemed... boring? Overly fussy with its technical license and morse code? He did give me a shortwave radio and explain how radio waves could bounce off the atmosphere (which seemed like science fiction honestly) and I got to listen to numbers stations.
If I was part of the Europa Clipper project, I would simply be happy to see it healthy and on the way to Europa. It was not at all clear that an SLS rocket would be available to launch it in the time frame where it would have arrived substantially earlier than it will now, and on top of that there were questions about whether the vibrational environment on SLS would mandate expensive and time-consuming modifications to the spacecraft.

All in all, it would not surprise me if it reaches Europa earlier this way. But, of course, we will never know.

I think you need to be more careful about what your unqualified promises are.
The Fed gov's budget issues has two faces

1 - Revenue (taxes)
2 - Expenses

Everyone wants to raise #1, but no one (on The Left) wants to talk about #2. That is, at some point Uncle Sam needs to put the brakes on overspending and reel things in. Unfortunately, spending effectively buys votes.

Friendly reminder: Interest on the debt is the fourth largest Fed budget expense. Number 3 is the DoD. Plenty promote the idea that the size of the debt doesn't matter. And perhaps it doesn't. But the interest on the debt? That's a different story. While that might not solve the issue with SS it's a fiscal step in the right direction.

I confirm. High-end bicycle here, "only" 8 years old. Full carbon (frame and wheels).

Bottom bracket is now a bit noisy. I went to a shop only doing that brand and...

"Oh but it's a threadless BB, the company doesn't make that anymore. And because it's a carbon frame, it's too complicated/risky to change it. We suggest you buy a new bicycle".

That'd be on a five digits bicycle supposed to be of the absolute best quality. And, well, it definitely has one of these not well made expensive frame.

P.S: had to google the acronyms you used but I suggest everybody here to listen: GP knows what he's talking about.

One challenge I've heard of is: If you carry 100 tons of cargo from point A to point B in an airship, for the airship to return to point A, it needs to take on another 100 tons of new cargo (or ballast), or it needs to vent (or compress) lifting gas, in order to maintain the correct buoyancy. I wonder what the best approach is here, & how it affects the economics? Is water ballast safe & cheap enough, or is there a better way?

You are spot on. We have several bicycles in my extended family and I have the tools to repair all of it, but when we bought or built the bikes we looked for the widest compatibility possible of the spare parts: 2 BB types, 2 chain types, 2 fork and bearing types and 4 wheel sizes for ~ 10 bikes. The only "rare" tools are a Shimano Hollowtech 2 wrench and the "square BB" one, the rest are common tools most people have in the house.

"WP Engine would want to make sure that it's customers are well taken care of and have a solid web hosting experience."

This is certainly one of their goals, if only to prevent or reduce churn.

But WP Engine is now owned by Silver Lake, a private equity firm, they no doubt have aggressive growth and profitability targets. Anything that injects confusion into their branding or increases costs is counter to their goals

The real question is the 8% "contribution" that WP is asking for cheaper than other alternatives. The lawsuits are cheaper if they win, but a dead loss if they don't.
This is an interesting puzzle. I can't find any actual details via Google, so until someone finds something authoritative here are my thoughts:

First, we need to remember that the Kindle being pre-configured is the default flow, the device being shipped in gift mode without being linked is an exception. This means certainly nobody is opening boxes, setting up the device, and re-packaging them. The pre-configuration is happening domestically after the device has been received by Amazon from overseas manufacturing, since the turnaround is too quick for ocean shipping.

My first idea is that Kindles are shipped in bulk from manufacturing and are packaged for shipping in the destination country, and the pre-configuration happens at that time. This could make sense if Amazon wants to have localized packaging materials, but seems like it would be too much work happening at the destination country.

My second idea is that the Kindles are shipped pre-packaged to the warehouse, but something triggers them to wake up in the box and download configuration information before shipment to the customer. On the simplistic level, booting up once or twice a day at a certain time to check for a known Amazon Warehouse WiFi network with saved credentials, if present connecting and downloading a configuration package with your account cookies. Or having some low-power chip that is triggered by a particular signal on the shipping line, or geo-gated to only run at a known warehouse location.

Edit: From Reddit comments, it looks like I'm wrong on both counts, existing Amazon-branded devices, partner device, and phones with the Amazon app provide the bootstrap network: https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=...
This mostly seems to be a complaint about e-bikes and batteries. Almost all major manufacturers are still making mostly user-repairable bikes for recreational riding and commuting.

From nearly a decade of bike industry experience, I can say that most people should not be doing their own repairs, or should at least have someone check their work. Lack of experience, shoddy mechanical aptitude, and poor attention to detail can all add up quickly to missing teeth and broken bones, or worse.

The claim that there would be no US aviation industry without British/French orders in WWII, which given US production for our OWN Armed Forces is a flat-out absurd thing to claim. France was overrun in 1940 and the RAF only used a few American designs compared with their own.
As a hosting provider, getting into a conflict with people who you have a software and service dependency on could be described as non-recommendable, especially if there is no formal contract involve. There are a few historical examples of companies being based on accessing free apis of youtube/social networks and then having their access removed suddenly, killing the company over night. Initiating lawsuits in response to a trademark dispute (a dispute that had yet to become a lawsuit) managed to escalate things fairly fast.

> This term has lost whatever meaning it ever had if we're using it to refer to binding contracts.

If a technological solution is optimistic and remains vaporware possibly forever, then it maybe "virtue signaling" is if there more nonfunctional desire for it that outstrips practical or economic utility. A better term would be "vaporware" when there is less social puritanism involved, and I don't think coal or nuclear signal anything of redeemable greenwashing value compared to cheaper renewables combined with PES and distributed grid storage.

Who is building skyscrapers in a cozy tourist town? Do you really think zoning laws are the only thing standing between tiny towns and a bustling metropolis?

If there is strong demand for housing, you might see bungalows turn into town homes or townhomes turn into mixed use 3 story flats... Which tend to be much more economically productive for the local gov anyways because the cost of infrastructure & services per person drops.
some possible examples:

security with cryptography is mostly about logical level problems, where each key or operation forms a layer or box. treating these as discrete states or things is also an abstraction over a seqential folding and mixing process.

debugging a service over a network has the whole stack as logical layers.

most product management is solving technical problems at a higher level of abstraction.

a sequence diagram can be a multi-layered abstraction rotated 90 degrees, etc.

Some other food for thought: there's an oddity with the way that we approach binary optimization in that we care about it a whole lot, but a program will never be optimized further than whatever optimizations were in place when the binary hit the user's machine prior to its first use (i.e. the optimizations that were put there by the compiler running on the author's machine or the distro build farm. Why should that be the case? Why should the optimization phase stop there?
Disc brakes make sense if you're riding hilly terrain or racing, but are otherwise overkill. They do have their place though, there's a particular descent around here that tends to melt carbon rim braking surfaces.

Are you including Shimano pressfit BBs here? Never had problems replacing it, not even needed special tools.
I'm not saying the article is wrong, but I didn't see any definitive evidence of the claim, just an aggregation of speculation from other sources.

The closest assertion is the statement, "At least one video from the event displayed an Optimus bartender acknowledging that it was being “assisted by a human.”" But what did this mean?

Statements like, "Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas also wrote in a report that the bots “relied on tele-ops (human intervention)”," don't seem to explain how this analyst knew this, the degree of the intervention, etc. Maybe if I read the analyst's report it would be clearer.

I distinguish between two ends of a spectrum for human assistance/intervention. On one end, there's a guy behind the curtain with a microphone and perhaps another with mo-cap or some other type of RC tool to instigate the physical responses. On the other end of the spectrum, there's a person watching telemetry and "merely" providing critical corrections to error states as needed. Both ends of this spectrum qualify as human assistance/intervention, but I still have no idea where on the spectrum this event was.

Read my other reply in this tree.

> You update all your emacs packages automatically without any code review. Then you start getting emails from your companies security team asking why you uploaded sensitive projects to a 3rd party.

If you do not trust the author or maintainers of a random program and refuse to review any code updates before installing it, then you are a moron.

I think if there is a concern that people would upload malicious packages, then there would be a level of trust put into the repositories that accept and offer them to review submissions before accepting them. This is still imperfect, but it shifts some responsibility off of you.

> Wouldn't it make more sense to restirct color themes to color and font related tasks? Why should a color theme be allowed to scrape sensitive code from your disk and upload it to a 3rd party without your consent?

Why SHOULDN'T a color theme be allowed to scrape code from your disk? Maybe the color theme is sophisticated enough to want to do that, or talk to some network. Something like a seasonal color theme that responds to the local weather might have a lot of hack value; and that is precisely the point you are missing. Emacs is not about restricting what you can and can't do, because the designers of Emacs understand that restricting what the user is allowed to do ultimately hinders freedom and creativity. It is one of the very few platforms left that's still like that, and I believe it should stay that way. If people want to use an editor that's very safe and tells them what to do rather than vice versa, then they should probably consider VS Code, or something like it which DOES upload your data to a third party without your consent, because it is smarter and knows better than you what you should be doing with your computer.
> Why everyone has disc brakes these days when they don't need them is a great question.

The reason I've got disc brakes is because of how precise and pleasant the feeling and feedback in the brake lever is. It's pure bliss.

I know it's totally overkill but the to me there's no comparison in how pleasant the brake lever is, so I don't mind paying a bit more.

Author clearly didn't research this thoroughly.

HTML was originally based on SGML, which no one ever implemented correctly. The standard then hopped onto the XML bandwagon and more parsing hell ensued.

Remember when in old browsers you had to eliminate all whitespace between elements just so you could style a list correctly? Or traverse the DOM in JavaScript without hitting nasty textNodes? The HTML would be difficult to write AND difficult to read for those browsers.

Author goes on to ask what the rendering of an HTML fragment looks like and then pulls out a CSS rabbit trick. The real answer is "depends on the user agent".

The CSS rules for whitespace handling were added to make predictable whitespace handling easier to achieve across the entire document. Everything can be a footgun in the wrong hands.

HTML is absolutely not in the same realm as programming languages. Quoting strings brings a whole slew of new problems with them. Not in the least another round of parsing hell in the browsers. But also everywhere HTML is concatenated to create a page. Since HTML had to be forgiving, closing tags can be implied. That alone accounts for some of the differences in whitespace handling between the beginning and end of a given text. Browsers tend to do mostly the right thing in those cases.

And if the author tried to be exhaustive about whitespace behaviour in HTML, I wonder why there's also no mention of the WBR element or its corresponding unicode character.
Yup! That was it!
I thought you made the rotation aspect quite clear. Everyone plays both roles and I’m sure when a bigger issue arises everyone becomes aware regardless.
Personally, I like this because as a dev I can set expectations accordingly.
