> SpaceX also has a simplification streak: the Raptor engines being the canonical example.

Not necessarily. Your engine which used to have 200 sensors perhaps now only has 8. But you now don't know when temperatures were close to melting point in a specific part of the engine. When something goes wrong, you are less likely to identify the precise cause because you have less data.

Many of those sensors are not to enable the rocket to fly at all, but merely for later data analysis to know if anything was close to failure.

In yesterdays launch, if the engines had more sensors musk probably wouldn't have said "an oxygen/fuel leak", but would have been able to say "Engine #7 had an oxygen leak at the inlet pipe, as shown by the loud whistling noise detected by engine #7's microphone array"

Soyuz? an expendable rocket with 40% less payload capacity? How is that a competitor to falcon 9? More like a competitor to rocketlab's current generation.
I thought so, too, and I had imposter syndrome for a long, long time. But I wouldn't call myself a bad salesman, seeing as I sell to enterprises regularly (just sold a $30k/yr contract yesterday). I'm a bit unconventional in my business, and the typical high-pressure, size-me-up sales dance just doesn't suit me -- and that's okay.

If a customer can't read the website or documentation, I don't want them as a customer, because they'll just be a support burden. Similarly, if a customer can't determine if a product is useful, I either have a messaging problem, or they aren't a good fit; they can weed themselves out.
It worked for like a year. What stopped the streak was COVID. I also recently got an ADHD diagnosis. Things that help with that thus far is morning excercise, cold showers, a deadly cocktail of caffiene and nicotine, and yeah bullet journalling was literally made by an ADHD guy. The system only works if you use it. And the only issue with bullet journalling is keeping the habit of using it. I don't see how that would be easier with any other system. If anything, the simplicity of it allows it to be less overwhelming to force myself to do. My other tactic is forcing myself to only care about work and have no hobbies. That really works and is the only way for me to unlock hyperfocus on work activities, because usually I cannot stand work in any form. But just doesn't seem healthy. Either way, there ain't no app that can help the fact that I am pathologically adverse to habits and consistent work on one thing. But we'll see when I get coaching if they come up with anything magical. All I'm hoping from coaching is that I feel accountability from discussing my systems to keep my systems (bujo and excercising pretty much) running. I don't want app recommendations.

This is something photographers and filmmakers had to (and sometimes still have to) deal with when shooting on black-and-white film, surely? (Though maybe B&W film sometimes has noticeably different responses to light at different visible frequencies, which might happen to counter this, or to heighten it?) There’s a long history of using colour lens filters with B&W film.

My #1 rule for all engineering: simplicity is harder than complexity.

I truly wish more software engineers thought this way. I see a lot of mentality in software where people are even impressed by complexity, like "wow what a complex system!" like it's a good thing. It's not. It's a sign that no effort has been put into understanding the problem domain conceptually, or that no discipline has been followed around reducing the number of systems or restraint over adding new ones.

I've seen incredibly good software engineers join teams and have net negative lines of code contributed for some time.

If we ever encountered, say, an alien race millions of years ahead of us on this kind of technology curve, I think one of the things that would strike us would be the simplicity of their technology. It would be like everything is a direct response and fit to the laws of physics with nothing extraneous. Their software -- assuming they still use computers as we understand them -- would be functional bliss that directly represented the problem domain, with every state a pure function of previous state.

We might get to this kind of software eventually. This is still a young field. Simplicity, being harder than complexity, often takes time and iteration to achieve. Often there's a complexity bloat followed by a shake out, then repeat, over many cycles.

In my use cases, I’ve appreciated how easy it is to cut out most of Lua’s standard library and run only the bare language.

As a game engine guy, I’ve been setting up Lua to be used by semi-technical game designers. I know I’m going to have to help them debug some crazy script months from now, so I want to carefully prescribe the APIs they get to play with from the beginning. Ex: No raw file system access! Only load assets through the asset system.

Lua shines when it is embedded in a larger program, giving high-level commands. There have been plenty of projects trying to build full applications in Lua. But, that’s really fighting against its design.
we had a huge wildfire in my area in 2021 that burned through a few small towns. In one town, the only houses that survived where the ones that followed the guides out there for creating defensible space. They were also newer homes, which is obviously easier then retro-fitting an existing home, but the town got rebuilt essentially the same as it was, which is kind of sad to see.

Well, context matters in looking at defamation claims.

Let's say you were involved in a freak hunting accident and shot somebody, but you were never charged with any crimes.

If the Fox News "hard news" program (if such a thing exists) said "skrebbel is a murderer" that is more likely to be understood to be a statement of fact, asserting something in a legalistic sense. [IANAL, but I think even this is unlikely to be defamation, although there is a somewhat similar case where ABC settled with Donald Trump over saying he was "liable for rape"]

If somebody on Tucker Carlson Tonight said "You can't trust anything that skrebbel guy says, he's a murderer!" that is more likely to be understood as an opinion based on disclosed facts, not a fact. That person isn't asserting that you committed or were convicted of a specific crime of murder, but rather that you killed somebody and it might be your fault. On a show were people are arguing and exchanging opinionated views, viewers should understand that these things are opinions. And therefore that's not defamation, because it's an opinion.
That's an interesting read. I have not yet tried Rust. Most of my experience in this arena is with Go.

I'd be curious to hear if anyone has tried random procedural generation with Rust. That's where I spend most of my hobby coding time.
I read this post as more of an “oh shit, idk who is running these projects but if you are reading this and developing a big deployment it’s going to be expensive and broken and make us all look bad. Please just spend your org’s $$$ for our rust rewrite that will make your graphs pretty and bosses smile”. The target audience feels pretty narrow for this post.

I’m also wary of such FOSS -> fee transitions, but I think this one is benign. I’m hoping these folks obtain this funding.

You cannot shield your car (ok, you can, but then you cannot drive it). What you can do is disturb the antenna so not enough power will be available to be sent.
FWIW, this has driven many users to RedNote, which is even more Chinese in every way, regardless of whether it's even the same kind of platform. I doubt it would ever be anywhere near the same numbers as TikTok (assuming ByteDance didn't sell off) but it does illustrate the trouble with this i.e. cat-and-mouse game.

Edited for word choice.
Oh sure, but larger companies are aware of this and usually have systems in place to protect themselves. I would love to know the backstory around this decision.
There is design tension between the language designer and the VM implementation. AFAIK some features post 5.1 make performant VM implementations difficult. Lua is originally a configuration language where performance didn't matter all that much. Because Luajit is so fast much more of the application code can be done in the scripting environment so now the performance matters much more than it did.

So the spectrum is from newer language and slower to older language and faster. If performance is an issue the cost of the newer language features could be that more of the application code has to be written in C++ instead of Lua - in that context the Lua language shouldn't be considered independent of the host language. Performance matters to me so increase in C++ code would not be worth the newer language features. Using Rust instead of C++ as the host language might change the landscape again since Rust is so much more ergonomic than C++.

No users are dying on this hill¹. OP is just stating, in an exasperated tone admittedly, what the state of affairs is with this camera. Some of us are agreeing with him that it seems off, and is part of the ongoing enshitification of the software and hardware worlds. Others can use this information to help guide their choice of camera (or supplier of other equipment), or not, their choice.

What kind of device do you use, what kind of speakers? If I were you¹ I'd first look for a software fix (dynamic range reduction or compression). If you really want to go for a device I would skip all musician-advice and buy some sort of DSP like the t.racks DSP 4x4 Mini Pro that has compressors, equalizers and delay compensation on board and is programmable via a GUI.

But already over-compressed stuff like music will sound worse that way, so in your position I'd prefer a software fix that is limited to movies.

If I had a say 50,000 sq ft. Building that had up to 1000 people on it at one time. What is the best way to track where each of them are down to a couple inches accuracy. I’d also love to be able to get the direction they are facing as well. This tracking would of course be opted in and I assume would require some hardware that the person wears.
Kind of depressing how some people two millennia ago had bigger homes than most people alive today. Then again, if they were alive today their homes would be 10x the size.

> With no price caps, no one will be able to buy insurance even if required by law

I very strongly doubt that say Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos wouldn't be able to afford market-rate insurance costs. They would just choose not to because its too expensive. Which is the point of letting the market set the rate

They all do this until you press "I agree". Some do it even before.
> Ah, clever to leave it up for bribes from ByteDance.

I agree. And the bribery already started when the Trump campaign found itself doing very well on engagement in TikTok. The CCP had already started the bribery before the election in a bid to maintain influence over the US while halting American influence in China.

The Biden administration I believe said they won't enforce the law starting Sunday, leaving it to the incoming administration to enforce. It'll be wildly popular for Trump to save TikTok, so I expect he'll do it without forcing a sale.
We're in a thread talking about "standards first" things, and JSX just isn't a standard part of the web platform, nor is it in anyway standard within the ecosystem of JSX.

JSX has no semantics, only syntax. What a JSX expression means changes depending on the transform you use and the framework you use with it. Some JSX transforms produce values, some produce side-effects. Values produced with JSX under different transforms have different types and are not compatible with each other.

Maybe one day some form of JSX will be standardized, but until then tagged template literals work great with no tools and their behavior is fully determined by the template tag that you use, not an external transform. They're also more expressive than JSX (In Lit we support explicit attribute, property and event bindings rather than overload a single namespace for all 3).

Support for syntax highlighting, type-checking, and intellisense are available to IDEs via plugins and LSPs.
Probably not the kind of car you are looking for, but my friend's 2015 honda odyssey (which he just traded in) had no smarts. No cellular, no GPS, console used knobs instead of a touchscreen... Whatever Deadpool's opinion of it was, it did make a great van for cargo and humans with good fuel economy for that class...

But, sooner or later it'll be a problem. What would be interesting to me is, is it possible to deactivate cellular on a modern car without losing key functionality, and, if it is ever reactivated (say, to pull updates) would it promptly push years of data upstream.
What I see happening in the future is builders will stop building homes in highly disaster prone areas because those places cant secure insurance and thus potential owners won't be able to secure a mortgage, and the only folks living there will be the very wealthy that can afford to self-insure.

There are some areas like CA where natural disaster risk can be mitigated through forest management and I think those places will continue to grow, but for places where we can't do anything to impact a natural disaster (ie hurricane's in florida), those places will start to have "off limit" zones for any type of insurable construction. These places will still be accessable, we will just build parks, beaches and other things there for the public, just not homes or commercial structures.

I think a big part of why natural disasters have gotten so bad is one climate change but also the fact that we're building places we shouldn't and in the future most will learn the lesson to no build in a certain area unless they are made of money and are aware of the risks of building their.
Oh, wasn't meant at any dig in terms of quality, I don't believe in that kind of characterization. Besides, ostensibly, Chinese developers have been much more successful in this space and seem to deliver better products. I just wouldn't know myself as I stay off of shortform video platforms.
Hurricanes are common. The general case is they hit hundreds or thousands of square miles and destroy none or at worst a tiny fraction of the homes they hit.

Take Katrina from my friends and family living in New Orleans, you’ll find city streets where none of the houses go significantly damaged. They lost power long enough you don’t want to open the fridge, but most of the city was fine in the hardest hit city from one of the most expensive storms on record.

Usually one does not design a page like website but reusable components that will have its own context and content.

Designer might focus on broad scope how stuff fits in a web app.

That pop-up to edit “task” has to behave the same on 20 different views.

To be honest, it IS terrorism, by the very first definition.

First terrorists (named so) was revolutionaries (not bolsheviks, but other parties) in Russian Empire, who go to Government official's office and shot them in the face with Nagant revolver.

Look up Vera Zasulich, Dmitry Karakozov, Narodnaya Volya (organization), etc.

It is TRUE terrorism, not bombing Christmas parade or marathon.
Regardless of one’s view on the outcome, this case is a reminder that textualism as a legal philosophy stands on shaky ground. This case is decided not on some strict analysis of the words written by a legislator, but on the court’s subjective view that there is a compelling national interest (which in turn seems based on speculation about the future, rather than a factual analysis of events).

Textualism might give the court some useful definitions, but it is after all still called, quite literally, an opinion.
Am I missing something obvious, or is that only available in one language? How do American teenagers use that?

Don't get me wrong, I consumed American media and played American video games before I understood English, so clicking around eventually led you down some path.
