Anyone with a copy of Silent Hunter 3 https://store.steampowered.com/app/15210/Silent_Hunter_III/ can experience this for themselves. Trying to estimate another ship's heading from a vantage point near sea level is maddening, even with the aid of a little recognition book which shows ships of that class at various relative headings, and as TFA says it's especially hard to tell the difference between perpendicular and near-perpendicular relative headings.

Mind you, this also explains why dazzle was a promising idea in the first place. Calculating Angle On Bow was already the hard part of ship-against-ship targeting, why not try to make it even harder?

That reminds me of another thing I wish was a universal standard for major appliances.

Type 1 diabetes is a disease. Type 2 diabetes may or may not be a disease. It could as well be a symptom/condition created by lifestyle.

50 years ago there were not that many people with type 2 diabetes because people ate less and moved more (at work and at home).
In the example I checked the mistakes wouldn't have changed the interpretation. It were mistakes like additional or missing commas, missing spaces or missing articles.

buzer.de actually has a list of things that differ in their consolidation compared to gesetze-im-internet.de: https://www.buzer.de/quality.htm

In that list you can actually find mistakes that would alter the interpretation. But I think this also sounds worse than it is. It's just a funny thought that whatever source you are using, you are essentially trusting one party to not have made any mistakes, consolidating 1000s of pages of pdfs :)

> Start your own company

Okay, that seems easy enough and affordable with most tech salaries.

> hire the developers for $200,000

And you've just applied an unspoken filter. What founder can afford paying someone $200k a year, let alone multiple people? So that means you need to either be filthy rich already or to get investors - who will likely have very strong opinions about whether you should be paying devs double their market rate even if you still make a profit.

Not to mention that this assumes "your own company" can earn $1,000,000 for every developer it employs. Because "your own company" likely has a completely different value proposition, different customers and different tech.

The profit (read: surplus value not paid out to employees) of a company doesn't directly translate to market success or competiveness, but it can affect factors that do (e.g. availability of investments, bank loans, etc). It's not necessary to exploit your workers to operate a sustainable business, it's just very difficult to compete with companies that do because they can tap into those profits to cut you off (e.g. by cutting prices below cost) or leapfrog you (e.g. by acquisitions or hiring more people).

The existence of a company willing to pay its employees 2x the market rate doesn't impact the ability of other companies to hire enough sufficiently talented people at or below market rate to squash that company if it is small enough. "We live in a society" - or in a market in this case. The market wasn't created yesterday so if you join it today, you're starting at a disadvantage, not an equal level playing field.

Hann: A Fast Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search Library for Go
"Everybody" is the problem, there are two proper use cases for a standard library†

1. Vocabulary. Things Everybody will want to talk about. It's easier to communicate if we all agree this is a List<Goose> than if we first have to negotiate do we mean MyLinkedList or ArrayList or HybridStorage::List, and if we can't agree do we need an adaptor layer. Vocab is a reason the stdlib should provide a string type (if the language itself does not), a growable array, a hash table, etc. With generic programming you likely want some algorithms in here too, all & any, sum, that sort of thing.

2. Shared features Everybody will find they need and might otherwise screw up. Trimming trailing whitespace, turning numbers into strings and vice versa, sorting, basic arithmetic, familiar constants.

This should be in category (2). "Everybody" will need this once in a while.

† In C++ instead the standard library functions as a way to not bother with package management, this does have amusing effects like how FreeBSD will end up with a linear algebra library required to build the OS.
I agree there were always be examples like that, but my point is kids hardly had any exposure to these, whereas kids feel entitled to listen to explicit music nowadays and when you try as a parent to enforce rules everyone else seem to say "it's okay, all kids do that", it's never okay to let kids watch or listen to these explicit Nicky Minaj or Dojo Cat songs, and I will always speak against it.
Good point on the type thing.

Not so much on the "everything has a few warts after 30 years". Many of the warts were baked-in at the start or in the very early days (like in many other languages), which is why language design is so important. I'm not a Lisp fan, but it doesn't seem very warty; and while I'm not a C# fan either, its stdlib, last I used it, was EXTREMELY well-designed/organized.

I WAS a Ruby fan, but after working in million-line codebases with hit, its warts finally showed up.

I have yet to find any true warts in Elixir; the only one I can think of is how to indicate in a match that a given variable should be matched against instead of reassigned, that's done with the ` character, which threw me off at first.

A simple and accessible example of something Elixir does superior to PHP (and many other languages) is make the first argument to every function the "main thing being worked on", which then enables the pipeline operator to actually be useful. So, every String function expects the string being worked on to be its first argument, enabling chained transformations, which ends up being really nice for readability/maintainability/conciseness.
It's true that the UK public sector could save insane amounts of money by working together better (e.g. 150 NHS trusts should not all be procuring their own systems, but they do - or rather, if they do, they shouldn't be complaining about a lack of money).

It's also true that Palantir should be nowhere near this, both from an infosec perspective and a "why do we keep giving money to US companies?" perspective.

I've thought quite a lot about how to establish key software infrastructure in the UK, particularly regarding EHRs. Has anyone else (Louis Mosley no need to respond)? How do we do it? What challenges/benefits did you spot?

The ingenuity to use parts that failed in binning for other products with less demanding/strict requirements... amazing. How does one even get the connections to buy such parts?

I can't imagine Sandisk (or anyone else) be too happy that failed parts in the end did make it out of the factory, alone for the risk of someone applying a fake Sandisk label on a part that actually did come out of a Sandisk factory.
That's fair, thanks for the response, appreciated.

I agree that genetic predisposition will remain a small contributor for most disease states. However, I (an idiot who has no authority or experience with anything relating to genetics) feel we're going to learn a lot about how our genetics indirectly influence our behaviour and decision making though.

I think it'll be a boring dystopia: the biggest problem will be that the more complex, distant relationships between genetics and life outcomes are discovered, the more opportunities the bodies responsible for health will have to say "well we have to protect ourselves from the uncertainty, and that's going to cost you/be profitable for us".
Not all unicode whitespace characters take up exactly one byte when encoded in utf8. Not even talking about other possible encodings, just good old utf8. Let that sink in a bit, and you'll realize what a can of worms it is in a language where strings are just byte sequences.
This type of comment is common, unfortunately. It amounts to "Don't use [thing] because of [anecdote]".

Bosch, in particular, is highly regarded. They also have a wide range. I bought an 800 series 2-3 years ago. I went online to see if anything had changed. You still find the same options: front controls, top controls, different finishes, etc. You can still absolutely buy a dishwasher with manual controls. They're excellent products.

Now my model seems to be before Wifi was added although I did buy an LG washer and dryer that has Wifi, which I did actually try and set up and failed. The code and stack in these things is truly awful. AFAICT I couldn't get it to work because my home network is segmented with 2 Wifi access points. Each of them broadcasts my Wifi network on the same SSID with the same credentials so devices use whichever one has the best signal. It doesn't always move routers so it's not as good as, say, a Ubiquiti network, but it's good enough.

Anyway, the washer/dryer listed my Wifi network 3 times and failed to connect to it for reasons I never established. The error message was a generic "authorization failed". I think it might've had something to do with DHCP. Possibly my address range or DNS servers. Weirdly, it would connect via a phone hotspot just fine. In the end I gave up.

But the point is that the washer/dryer work just fine without Wifi and although I don't have a Wifi-enabled Bosch dishwasher, I very much suspect they do too. Your comment says "it needs to use their website for some functions". What functions, exactly? Would that be notifications for when a load is done? If so, that makes perfect sense. But I bet the dishwasher worked just fine without Wifi.

The idea of using gene drive on mosquitoes has been circulating for at least 8 years.

At that time they didn't have TV news channels that can repeat the explosion 24 hour a day. Also the space race and cold war was a good shield, if someone complain s/he was accused of being an evil communist spy trying to destroy America.

I think in he previos programs they had unmanned missions, but once they reached Apollo they (always?) have to use manned missions because docking was not automated. Once you have persons inside the rockets they should not explode, so you must be extra careful with the design.

> because it was already doing the job with no excuses.

We will have to wait until someone makes another cheap reusable rocket to know how hard it is to design them without exploding a few of them. The move fast and break think applied to rocket science may be a brilliant strategy or a stupid excuse, but we will not know until someone else try. (I'm not counting the Space Shuttle. It was not reusable, it was expansively refurnishable after month of work.)

Why would a German company apply feel-good but ultimately counter-productive regulation to customers where they don't have to?
IMHO, their main advantage is that third parties can’t send email which appears to originate from my domain.

I configure my domain to use SPF, so now spammers can’t sign it properly.

However, the fact that an email passes SPF verification only ensures that it was authorised by the domain owner. It doesn’t say anything about whether the domain owner is a spammer.
Testing Without Mocks: A Pattern Language (2023)
You are thinking of those parables as parametric curves, I guess, but Newton's method is about approximating an arbitrary function by its Taylor expansion truncated to the second degree, which is a polynomial function of second degree. The graphs of these functions can be thought as parametric curves, but (my point is also) these are not those that were drawn in the illustration.

Storage Engine (using a store type) -> Data Store (ordered by data model) -> Database (providing semantics & management)

k->v is a data store (using disk|inmem|networked storage engines).

A database is a complete system for management of data. They come (or used to come) in various data model flavors: hierarchical, graph, relational, etc.
I've heard this as a reaction to the strategy before. "Now you're much more recognizable!" Well, yes and no. You're identifiable in the sense that you're unique among people in a crowd. But that equivocates between two different senses of identify. There's nothing actionable about looking at a person who looks different and saying "well they look different." That doesn't attach to any database or anything.

Meanwhile, positive facial identification attaches to all kinds of legal and intelligence infrastructure. Now, you can be charged with crimes, have a warrant executed against you, can be accused of supporting terrorists if you show up to a protest, etc.

I suppose I don't think the criticism is wrong, but it seems to presume that this is new information not previously understood rather than an intentional calculated risk.
"Don't make me think" was certainly the guiding principle at play here.
I've always found SerenityOS to have quite nice C++ source code. The project runs on very recent versions of C++ (to the point where the standard compilation script for Ubuntu will compile a modern compiler first) and the OS intentionally doesn't stick to POSIX, allowing some very nice API improvements that only work in a C++-first world.

Its main author moved on to Ladybird, though, so I haven't really browsed the code recently. I'm not sure if SerenityOS uses concepts and other such recent additions.

> The C++ standard library (also know as the STL)

The C++ Standard Library is not the same as the STL.

The STL is the Standard Template Library, which provides containers such as vectors, as well as related functionality like iterators.

The C++ Standard Library includes STL, but is a lot more, including things like I/O, math, concurrency, and so on.

I don't think I understand the question - I wouldn't say it's up to them in particular.
Although an element of prestige was obviously there, they went high also for the usual reason: cost. Italian cities like Firenze and Bologna, at the time, were among the richest in the world, and real-estate costs were sky-high. Buying land to erect some wall or other fortification, in the middle of the city, would have been a huge waste of money.

Even roman popes, when they decided they wanted a fortified structure, just reused the roman-era mausoleum of Hadrian - building from scratch would have been prohibitively costly.
It's fixed now. Nice twist at the 4th level.

Yeah I think that's the "pro" part. But I think potentially a virus can kill a lot more than a nuclear war (I could definitely be wrong) so there aren't many people left. Most resources online don't really teach common people to build factories anyway.

For example how does a community build a small steel factory? We need a lot more details than Wikipedia.
>SPF/DKIM is really about mail server reputation. So it mostly benefits larger servers like the ones run by Google, Microsoft and Yahoo. Unfortunately, that means that attempts by those larger providers to combat span using such reputation will naturally hurt smaller providers. So the actual effects of SPF/DKIM are on the whole negative.

That paragraph is incorrect. SPF/DKIM is not about reputation. The main purpose is preventing domain impersonation from unauthorized senders. E.g. mail servers will reject fake emails from "upofadown@microsoft.com" because you don't control any email servers that's whitelisted in microsoft.com DNS TXT records.

E.g. I was able to register a brand new .com address and then successfully send to gmail and MS Outlook accounts within minutes because I had proper SPF/DKIM in the DNS records for that new domain. That new domain had zero reputation and yet Gmail accepted it because SPF/DKIM was configured correctly -- and -- the underlying ip address of the server it came from had a good reputation.

If SPF/DKIM was truly about "reputation", it would mean I'd have to wait days or months for reputation history to build up before Gmail accepted it.
Not always, yes. But in this case I can test it by general wellbeing and shape of feet.

> As it is, there is not even a way for a known email sender to securely introduce an unknown email sender. You know, the way that regular human people normally are able to transfer identities from one to the other.

That's exactly what PGP's web of trust model is for. Someone you know, and trust, can sign and send you a public key of someone that they trust.

This new key will be automatically trusted in your trust store because it's signed by someone you already trust, although in a lesser trust level to account for the degree of separation. If you later verify that key out of band you can upgrade it to a higher trust level.

SPF/DKIM, as well as TLS etc., is just stupid shit we do because we're too lazy and/or incompetent to make web of trust work for us. It's not a technology problem, it's a human problem.
