For some reason those comments always seem to imply that every business doesn't have these problems too.

Every business has these problems. In most cases, the ones who don't change get swept away. The places that do not change are usually ones that can't go out of business. But every place has systems like this, you have to rebuild them, it isn't fun but there is no choice.

A tiny system like the DVLA is complex, hilarious (this is the same place that has had to reduce service provision because some staff just stopped turning up for weeks after Covid, public-sector productivity in the UK is at the same level as 1997, to just get to the same level as the private sector...which isn't growing productivity very fast...you would need to fire ~2m workers, the total workforce in the UK is 30m btw).
I would be really really surprised if the database actually encodes all of these edge cases you are thinking about in a structured way. In other words, I really doubt there's code like `if engine_age > drivetrain_age` or whatever.
The clearance is amazing -- probably bigger IRL than it looked on the camera, but it looked like only a foot or two between the chopsticks arm and the top of the rocket! The control algorithms on the gimballed engines must be insanely precise.
Except for that whole second stage and payload part.

Actually I thought there would be less risk with the second stage changes, significant as they were, than the second catch. (Maybe there was less risk, of course, and the dice just didn't roll that way).
I hate season 3 so much. I don't even consider it part of the story.

The greatest ending ever to a TV show is the end of season 2. Nothing can ever touch that as an ending. Season 3 was not needed but I am just glad I got to watch the show when it aired originally.

That ending in 1991 on prime time network TV next to corny sitcoms is just so out of time. Like a transmission from another dimension.

A low level manager really doesn’t have any more influence than a staff architect and often less. In the role I rejected that I spoke about in another reply and the role I accepted, the staff level IC is at the same level in the org as the engineering manager and we both report to a director.

In my current niche - cloud consulting - I can be over a project dealing with software development, cloud architecture, data analytics, migrations, cloud hosted call centers, etc.

Just like an engineering manager, I don’t have to be the best at each role. I just need to be comfortable working at that level of “scope”, “impact” and “ambiguity”.
I think that people that think merge commits "pollute the logs" are missing key git features such as `--first-parent`. Git is natively a graph. It gets a lot of powers from that. If you don't want to see all the details of the "subway diagram", add `--first-parent` as a default and focus on the higher level. Merge commits help avoid later conflicts by saving how earlier conflicts were solved. Three-way merging in general and many of git's more complex merging strategies all work better if you save the merge commits. Rebasing throws that baby of information out with the bath water. (It's also useful information to have as a developer needing to archeology dive for how a regression happened. With a merge commit you can see the fingerprints of a bad merge or a mistake that wasn't caught in an ugly merge. With a rebase or squash that information is gone, you have no idea where to find the bad or ugly merges, that data is swept under the rug.)
I understand (also by reading your other responses here). Very nice, I like it. Is the summary feature based on one article (the top one mentioned), or does it combine all articles on that topic? And any roadplan for a native iOS app?
Yes, amibo.

For Splatoon it's used to quickly switch to preset weapons and gears as well, which is nice. You widly experiment with your gear and instantaneously get back to your "serious" setting at any time.
The Steam Deck (which I have and love) is also far from a great experience docked, though I'm hopeful that a lot of those edges get ironed out over time.

I also wouldn't give my young kids a Steam Deck, but they will definitely be getting the Switch 2.

Right after that, they have three links (one blog post, two videos) to explanations of how they optimized screen load speed that can answer that question.

It's a mix of layout stuff (like using lazy list views to avoid below the fold rendering) and network fetches (they talk about using better caching).
Built a tool with R3F/3JS that turns 2D media into 3D videos
Hey HN,

We’ve been building a tool that takes 2D media and turns it into short 3D videos. The idea was to make something super easy to use. There's some great 3D tools (like Spline) but most require design/3D expertise.

Right now, the tool can create 8-second clips, no sound, just something quick and eye-catching. I was imagining it could help Etsy or Amazon sellers make simple product videos, indie devs show off product/game screenshots, or creators add some flair to their logos. But honestly, I’m not sure where it might fit best.

Would love to hear your thoughts: Who do you think might find this useful? Am I overlooking a group that could really benefit? Open to feedback or ideas for new directions too.

Thanks for any input!

Btw, you can get a good feel for how it works without signing in.
>you're just making the price up based on what you think I can pay

It should be based on the email address used. If, for example, your email ends in @google.com, you get charged more. If it ends in @aol.com, then they take pity on you and you get a discount.

My co-worker's grandfather owned a TV repair business. The price was entirely based on the appearance of the person and had nothing to do with the actual problem. This way rich people subsidize the repairs of poor people.

The launch license requires them to build in a "flight termination system" which makes it explode if they lose control over it.
This is the comment I was looking for. Entirely because the trailer makes it super unclear to me if they fixed the "port on the bottom" issue. There's definitely one on the bottom. It looked to me like there might be 2. But that the other way they fixed this issue was by changing the stand so it could lie better in a way that one could charge while playing.

NVM, just saw it in one of the flips around. There's definitely a port on the top. Glad they fixed this.

What’s the source for “2 shots”?
I really don't understand why you would think that, although I have access to more information, so what seems obvious to me may not be obvious to others.

Only a few of the largest cities in the county have trash-collection service, (with the largest having a cheap city-owned trash-collection service) so in the smaller cities and most unincorporated areas there is no service. Service is only mandatory where it is available, so in much of the county service isn't mandatory. The dump is run by the county, with multiple transfer stations to cover areas far from the dump, and anyone can take their own trash there and pay by volume. The trash collection services take trash to the same locations.

The county has regulations against unsightly and dangerous property conditions that if violated can lead to fees, and unpaid fees will lead to liens. They cover general refuse, but most of them are focused on problems that trash service doesn't affect, like fire-prone vegetation, abandoned vehicles and buildings, and large tanks and containers, as these are more of a problem than general refuse. Where I live It's also legal to burn trash, when there isn't a fire risk or excess heat, although some cities in the county do prohibit it.

Also, hoarders tend to hoard, and the convenience of trash pickup service, vs the time for a dump run, isn't likely to make a difference in someone's cleanliness.
Cool video of the upper stage breakup from Turks and Caicos
I feel like it's also important to remember that the truth may be something else completely.

I'm reminded of Bob Lee's killing, when many initial reactions assumed it was a random act of violence and blamed city leaders for progressive policies and decarceration, but it later turned out to be personally motivated [1][2].

Similarly, in this case, the truth may not be suicide nor company-initiated morder, but something else entirely.

If you are not allergic to Cloudflare, they work very well with the DNS-01 challenge and they provide both registrar services as well as DNS. Of course, you can use Namecheap domains with Cloudflare or any other DNS provider and that should solve your problem too.

I believe it's pretty hard to have a fire at that altitude. You need a leak of both methane and oxygen, and an ignition source.

I wonder if perhaps one of the engines split open and the exhaust wasn't going into the engine bell?
That doesn’t seem like a logical inference to me.

A house construction contractor doesn't have a price list for the sake of obscuring prices, nor because house construction is more complex than space flight.

It's because houses are custom and thus prices are too variable to list in any meaningful way.

For a SaaS product with significant custom integration work, it seems reasonable that prices might also vary in the same way.

That's a difficult to interpret metric. If it's only being met 75% of the time, I'd tend to assume most features are much better than that, but some are never meeting the target, and there's no indication by how much.

Another vote for jujutsu. No one else needs to know you're using it. You can think of it as just a different CLI for git (although you shouldn't mix them). I used to use third-party interfaces like lazygit, but I don't need them anymore because jujutsu _just makes sense_.
Noticed that too, but it has a '9' in it.

Another magic word that Vmware has which no other vendor does the same is NSX. (network virtualization).

proxmox is lightyears behind this usecase, and so are most other vendors. Especially if you are building private/public clouds with multi tenancy in mind.

NSX is really well designed and scales nicely, (it even has MPLS/EVPN support for Telecom Service Provider integration).

Most open source and other commercial offerings have solved both the compute and storage aspect quite well. But on the networking front, they a really not comparable.

Proxmox for instance, only supports a vxlan encapsulation or vlans, without support for a proper control plane like EVPN. Heck, route injection by BGP is only doable by DIY'ing it ontop of proxmox.

"just using vlans" is not going to cut if you want to really scale across datacenters and with multiple tenants. NSX does this all really nicely without having to touch the network itself at all thanks to encapsulation and EVPN route discovery.
> The obvious question to me is why pornography?

Because there is some kink in the Anglo Saxon psyche that means it's appealing to voters? I don't know, but I can't think of another explanation. The European countries focus their ire on violence and anti social behaviour, which makes far more sense to me.

It pretty clearly isn't because porn is particular harmful. If it was the explosion of porn the internet has made available would have some obvious effects. Yet all we get is the occasional report of some porn addicted individual. Not good, but it's more than offset by the reduction in sex crimes in the same period. And as addictions go porn addiction does seem that bad. Wasting time on porn is still wasted time I guess, but isn't actively harmful like, sugar addiction, nicotine addiction, alcohol addiction or gambling addiction - all of which are tolerated.

Not comment OP, but checkout has two very different uses merged into one: restoring files and switching branches. To not break compatibility, git has now switch and restore commands that make commands more readable and understandable.

You should avoid reset --hard because it will delete all your uncommited, and you could end up in situations where that's really bad. Using reset --keep will keep uncommited changes, and failing if any uncommited change cannot be kept.
Flagged. Significant parts AI-generated, and it misrepresents the writeup. It is titled "Cosine Similarity Isn't the Silver Bullet We Thought It Was", and the article is (editorializing) "it's a bad idea to use LLM embeddings, trained for dot product, for cosine similarity"

From paper:

- "when a model is trained w.r.t. the dotproduct, its effect on cosine-similarity can be opaque and sometimes not even
unique. One solution obviously is to train the model w.r.t. to cosine similarity"

- "We find that the underlying reason is not cosine similarity itself, but the fact that the learned embeddings have a degree of freedom
that can render arbitrary cosine-similarities even though their (unnormalized)
dot-products are well-defined and unique"
And part of the reason for that is compatibility with existing light fixtures using legacy sockets designed 150 years ago at the dawn of electrification for incandescent bulbs, where the part dissipating the most heat was the light emitting element itself, and not whatever lays between it and the mains power source. If the customer doesn't want to pay for a slightly more expensive LED lightbulb, they sure as hell won't pay for a whole new fixture specifically designed around LED technology that will last forever.

This is anecdata, but I haven't replaced a single LED bulb since I bought the current set ~7 years ago, and it's nothing fancy, just basic IKEA stuff.
HAHAHAHAH!

Oh man... Ouch! First time I'm hearing it put that way!! As far as I knew, the contract was done before I left town! :)

But that absolutely, to a T, sounds like (a distorted version of...) *exactly* the sort of miscommunication I'd get into 20 years ago.

Glad to hear some version of my youthful exploits turned into tales, even if I have to be the "heel". :)

Yeah, the category names don't convey the meaning behind them very well. There's no intentional focus on US.

"World" includes everything that talks about two or more countries.

"Nation" is a category with news that touch only a single country, not necessarily US. The current feed is very US-heavy because practically everyone (even non-US sources) is talking about Trump.

Public-sector employment in the UK is at record highs. Despite apparently cutting inputs, productivity has collapsed to the same level as 1997 in the public sector. It is wildly overstaffed/overfunded by any estimation (and to be clear, there have been no cuts...the cuts in the early 2010s were not particularly significant, around 2-3% of GDP, public spending is as high as it has ever been in the UK, it was significantly lower under Blair...the only time it has reached this level is WW2 and 1975, the financial year the UK govt was bankrupted).

DVLA isn't complex. We live in a world of regulation, rules, and standards. Almost every large business does stuff like this at a global scale. It isn't complex, it just has to be complex so the budget is filled (and Fujitsu can get their contract).
If it doesn't explode it might be light enough to survive reentry, after sailing on for a short while. In that case a large chunk of metal will come down either off the coast of South Africa or if continues on in its orbit potentially off the coast of Australia.

> Votes from the little people don't have an impact

I agree to disagree here. The election of, say, Trump vs not-Trump, will have a huge impact not just domestically, but on geopolitics writ-large.

> much larger reason Harris wasn't elected was that housing, food, and fuel costs have been and continue to rise rapidly

Maybe. There's a plurality of reasons (and influential demographics) that could be cited. Certainly one strong signal that came through—demography-wise—was that Hispanic males swung to GOP. One theory on this is that new waves of northwards immigration are causing some in-group tension, specifically around access to jobs.

But certainly all economic indicators in November were looking good. The damage was done on inflation, but the inflation rate was brought back under control. Unemployment was ticking upwards but still only slightly higher than pre-pandemic. But as you say, long-term declines in real wages and housing stock are squeezing peoples' finances, and certainly no political party seems willing to attend to that before heads start rolling.
Plenty of clients don't have that option. E.g.: Synology NAS, Mikrotik routers.
Probably one of the most expensive fireworks (but probably still cheaper than the first Ariane 5 launch), but it looks very cool.
This may be a place were regulation would be helpful, there is a bit of a prisoner dilemma here where companies want to maintain the ability to price discriminate and so there is a strong motivation to keep the status quo vs bucking the trend and losing the consumer surplus.

A simple rule like, "You have to have pricing for you software service displayed on your website, if it's algorithmic you have to be transparent about the formula, how the variables are calculated, and provide a calculator".

Sure there are other good reasons to have a call - it is nice to have a high-bandwidth exchange about the needs of the company and build a relationship with the customer so you could still have calls for that purpose but if they're just trying to compare services, making it harder for the customer is just anti-competitive and leads to a less efficient marketplace.
