Counterpoint: nope.

Logging is great for long term issue resolution. There's tracepoints/logpoints which let you refine the debugging experience in runtime without accidentally committing prints to the repo.

There are specific types of projects that are very hard to debug (I'm working on one right now), that's a valid exception but it also indicates something that should be fixed in our stack. Print debugging is a hack, do we use it? Sure. Is it OK to hack? Maybe. Should a hack be normalized? Nope.

Print debugging is a crutch that covers up bad logging or problematic debugging infrastructure. If you reach for it too much it probably means you have a problem.
The larger TBM would require ~7/4 more discs. So you might go a longer time between disc changes, but each disc change requires 7/4 more effort and material. Any hypothetical savings in spin-up and spin-down would be offset. If the balance came out to some advantage, it would not be due to a larger diameter of the TBM. It would just indicate that you should consider retrofitting the smaller diameter TBM with thicker discs.

I would love a competitively-priced pro-motion external display, but Apple historically has not paid much attention to this space. I was disappointed in macos, with Apple Intelligence stealing most of the oxygen to (at best) middling results, and common asks ignored year after year (why exactly can't I access my Health app on a mac laptop?).
I've gotten an OS to run on a new platform with a debugging tool portfolio consisting of a handful of LEDs and a pushbutton. After getting to the point where I could printf() to the console felt like more than anyone could ever ask for.

Anecdote aside, it certainly doesn't hurt to be able to debug things without a debugger if it comes to that.

Many things, the majority of which are not food.

While I also find grocery prices in the US extremely bewildering/concerning (why are they so damn expensive!?), I think it does make some sense to benchmark more than just food.

For example, consider a hypothetical world in which grocery prices doubled but cost of housing for some reason halved – would you say that that's high or low inflation?
As with humans in space, the real question is, why send humans to do a robot's job? Most work involving undersea cables and wells uses remotely operated vehicles, not human divers.

There must be at least some minimal way scam listings are handled. I stumbled across an RTX 4090 going for $600 the other day (actual selling price is $1-2k), seller claiming to have 10+ of them with 90+ watchers/in cart, but no reputation. Account was gone the next morning.

Curiously on Mercari, which seems to be more pro-seller, I've seen some GPU listings with "this is a scam" type comments attached to them. Very different way of handling the transactions over there it seems.

You could mandate that airports incorporate runways shaped as disks with 10 km diameter and another 5 km of empty space around them.

It’s a cap, not a target. Up to 200m, initially only up to 100m. It’s also for scientists, so the benefits are that you don’t have to keep returning to the surface. The whole idea is to reduce the cost and interruption to the work the scientists want to do. At 50m you can get to the surface fairly easily. 200m much harder.

If for the sake of preserving humanity (a backup plan) this project seems easier to pull off than SpaceX mission to mars at least in the next 20 years. We already have hundred such underwater habitats called nuclear submarine that can accomodate 100+ people.

Another physicist here, not an expert. This is my understanding of the work:

The paper (and related papers) aims to unify classical electromagnetic (Maxwell equations) and gravitational forces (Newton laws) in a new proposed framework, the informatons.

Assuming the maths check out, my understanding is that the author proposes the informatons, and successfully rewrites Newton and Maxwell's equations in terms of the informatons.

If I understand correctly, the author believes informatons are a better theory because electromagnetic and gravitational fields are mathematical constructs, just like informatons, but with the informatons you have one framework capable of explaining both phenomena. It sounds to me like a unification theory for both gravitational and electromagnetic fields.

Having one theory for all fundamental forces has been a goal of theoretical physics for a long time.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_interaction

There are four forces to be unified (strong nuclear, weak nuclear, electromagnetic and gravitational). The weak and electromagnetic forces have already been unified (awarded a Nobel Prize in Physics, 1979). The electroweak unification has been experimentally proven. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroweak_interaction

It seems to me the author aims to unify gravity and electromagnetism. The proposed theory may be mathematically correct but to my understanding it has two big limitations:

(1) there is no experimental setup devised to verify the existence of these informatons

(2) classical electromagnetism has already been unified with the weak nuclear force.

There have been several attempts to unify classical forces (electromagnetism and gravitational), but since the electroweak unification in 1979 physicists do not tend to focus much on a electromagnetic-gravitational unification. And physicists have a reason: If you already have the electroweak unification, why would you want to find a theory that allows you to merge electromagnetic and gravitational forces without considering the weak nuclear force?

https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/462122/unificati...

It is hard for me to find the author contributions valuable without:

(a) A focus on how informatons should be experimentally validated, just like it happened with the electroweak unification. This is a major problem for this theory, in my opinion.

(b) How does the author deal with previous proven unification work, for instance the electroweak unification?

(c) In general, the author does not seem to be able to put his work in context of other unification theories. This is usually a red flag to the community because it implies that, as a reviewer, I can't assume the author knows the state of the art of the field.

Having said this, I am no theoretical physicist and I am no expert, so I will be very happy to be corrected.

Cellular comms. are all complex, proprietary, closed standards by big telecoms companies. There are some projects trying to solve this: OpenRAN, OpenAirInterface, O-RAN Alliance.

This project tries to build an open solution following O-RAN standards for RAN software. It is targeting telecom. companies for their Radio Access Network (RAN). Their infrastructure is divided into the Core Network (like a simple internet network) and the Radio Access Network (base stations, antennas and all that stuff). Phones and tablets are User Equipment (UE), nothing to do with srsRAN.

1420 airplane departed runway 4R at about 97 knots and impacted the runway 22L approach lighting system support structure at about 83 knots.

That's a more explicit restatement of my own "likely as AA 1420 had decelerated significantly both on the runway ... and its subsequent 240 cross-terrain slide."

As I've noted already, we're waiting on investigation conclusions to understand further, though it's entertaining to speculate, and IMO somewhat more productive to look at similar events and history.

>I even wonder if it's necessarily a better choice than modern C++ for someone starting a new project.

C++ has decades of infrastructure, and is still the standard for games, so it's almost certainly not the better choice if your goal is shipping.

It's arguably better for best practices and may be a standard in the far future, but you're going down an untrodden path if you make that choice. you'll be spending just as much, if not more time fighting your tools than making a game. (unless you're comfortable with the few stable-ish Rust game engines).
Yes, this problem seems intuitively not so hard -- but without flattening first to a pixel buffer, it is a formidable challenge.
Touch typing is objectively better, but 2 finger is enough to have a career at programming, it's not what is going to hold you back.

I'd be more concerned about RSI than speed. You _really_ don't need to type fast for programming. If you do, your tools should be helping you do boilerplate more.

I used MySQL before I understood it at the physical level, and now I'm using some other ones that I don't really understand. A MySQL/Postgres noob can get pretty far just knowing to avoid seq scans. It's not ideal, but it'll work. Understanding schema design is more important.

The thing is, ORMs encourage bad schema design and get in the way of the SQL you want. I've seen entire projects ruined this way. I think the only valid reason for an ORM was before RDBMSes had json etc types. Maybe you had a table with very many cols that you just want to get/set, say a "user profile" table. This also contributed to the NoSQL fad. Nowadays you can throw that into one json col.
They do explain why they want to live at 200m.

As per the article:

> With current diving at 150 to 200 meters, you can only get 10 minutes of work completed, followed by 6 hours of decompression. With our underwater habitats we’ll be able to do seven years’ worth of work in 30 days with shorter decompression time. More than 90 percent of the ocean’s biodiversity lives within 200 meters’ depth and at the shorelines, and we only know about 20 percent of it.

Print is ephemeral by design.

Logging lets you refine the level of printing and is designed to make sense in the long term. There are many technical differences (structured logging, MDC etc.) that I won't get into but they are important.

To me it's mostly about the way you write the logs vs. the way you write a print. A log tries to solve the generic problem so you can deal with it in production if the need arises by dynamically enabling logs. It solves the core issue of a potential problem. A print is a local bandaid. E.g. when print debugging one would write stuff like "f*ck 1 this was reached"... In logs you would write something sensible like "Subsystem X initialized with the following arguments %s". That's a very different concept.

IIR, such approaches were called "lazy secretary algorithms" back in the (?)70's. Your agent (secretary, computer, whatever) was expected to present the appearance of nearly perfect and up-to-date paperwork...in the face of messy realities and limited resources. Including her own limited time, to run around a big office building with paperwork. (Probably in heels, it being the sexist 70's.) A savvy-enough secretary could do an extremely good job, at least from the boss's PoV. And to reflect that last bit, the metrics for "nearly perfect" could change over time, based on what the bosses were currently focused on.

Yeah… as best I can tell, there is no such thing as an Agent. It’s a brilliant piece of marketing on top of “an automation with an LLM somewhere in the input interface.”

Which is kind of neat, but it’s being sold as Jarvis and it’s more like an ATM you can talk to.
You are making an assumption here, that I think is unreasonable: that the pilots (who have probably landed at this airport hundreds of times, it's not like they don't know the place) were expecting a large piece of reinforced concrete to be in the path of the plane.

I'm speculating, of course, but pilots made the decision to land there (albeit in a very short amount of time). They probably made the reasonable assumption that they could "safely" (as safe as it can be, of course) overshoot the runway in that direction. They were certainly not expecting to hit a concrete structure that would pulverize their plane.

Having large concrete structures near airports is not unreasonable, hiding them absolutely is. If instead of a hidden piece of concrete it had been a terminal like in SFO, a sea wall, or another known hazardous structure, the pilots could very well have decided to land somewhere else. Including in the very large body of water next to (or beyond) the runway.

You don't know, I don't know, and we might never know depending on what is uncovered by the investigation.
The better the marketing, the easier the sales.
Obviously hard to answer your question but if you're curious, some other bits of info I've gleaned from my autistic research mode. Some context: Bird strike was believed to be on engine 2, hydraulics are powered by engine 1. Few things seem fine as ideas to me - gear down at the speed they were going with the flaps stuck and thrust reversers sketchy, would probably cause under carriage separation, they're apparently trained to do a belly landing if they think this would happen as it's safer. The plane is in a 10/10 perfect config for a belly landing. (note: the config for belly landing and go around and extremely similar) Separately: The manual release requires you to unscrew something that takes about 60 seconds, and then violently swing the plane back and forth, pilot would not want to come off glide slope and even if they did, rocking the plane around at that low low altitude, not good. Separately: apparently in the time they turned, and crashed, there is no way they had time to run checklists, so they where according to the pilots I watched, probably just flying.

If the birds either took out both engines or engine 1 stalled under the load of engine 2 surging and dying (apparently common) - it seems to me they had no good options but to execute that tear drop turn that is apparently VERY MUCH not recommended as it's very very hard (but they did it) and get the plane down asap asap. Provided it's not pilot error and they shut down engine 1 in a panic by mistake (has happened before, fatally) - it seems they could very well have just gotten a very very very very bad, unlikely but possible, series of events. Makes me sad.
