The Chinese ecosystem is very impressive. They both have tremendous cash and resources flowing into their government owned agencies, and specific funding and competition in their private new space companies. I understand there's tremendous talent and knowledge transfer sloshing around the Chinese ecosystem, say nothing about funding and resources.

But let's be real - EU new space is not competing against the Chinese launch market right now. There's time and room for them to mature.

One major reason why EU capabilities are lagging is because they hitched their geopolitical wagon to the US and assumed that the US launch providers would be sufficient for commercial purposes, and that ESA/Arianespace only had to preserve enough capability to meet truly strategic requirements.

Now the EU is scrambling because they realized that there are unsavoury downsides. Just deciding to cede all European launches to the Chinese is literally just putting themselves in the same shit soup.

And even practically, the EU-USA decoupling is going to take time. And until the EU gets enough strategic autonomy in space, I think the EU is largely going to play nice with the US rules against collaborating with China in space (that means almost no EU payloads are going to be launched by China).

> Better off learning a better (compiled) programming language.

I didn't really go too much into my background beyond the task at hand, but I have a CS degree and did C++ development professionally in the engineering space for years (and golang after that). I switched to data engineering because I enjoy the work, not because of an inability to work in "better" languages.

I'm not a rockstar or anything, but assume I'm as competent as a typical person who's been writing software for 20 years.

> If you have to use AI, use Groq or Ollama as you can keep these outputs to train or fine tune your own AI one day.

How do I train models via ollama? As I said, I've been using it for my work, but I've been leveraging it for "fuzzy matching" data, extracting pertinent elements from free form text, or general research. I'd love to be able to shove some of my datasets into one and use a prompt to interact with it. The best I've been able to do currently is showing it my database schema and having it write queries for me, which is not that valuable to me.

Wouldn't everyone be incentivized to spend as much as they feasibly can before they die and not accumulate too much wealth?

I guess it depends on the specific implementation but the optimal approach would be to take on as much debt as you can to keep your effective net worth close to 0. So even a 100% tax on that might not result in a lot of revenue...

Why is that unfair?

This shouldn't be a surprise. One would want to test as much as possible in each expensive launch. If the recovery failed, it would not impact(!) any other tests, so it is a very sensible idea to add it to the early tests.
I don’t personally think reducing draws would improve the game at all

> a single React/ShadCN button

So don't use ShadCN? It's so weird to put up this strawman app and then be like "see what's wrong with React"? Like showing two boards nailed together and being like "can you believe I needed all those power tools just to do this?"

> Add more widgets—tabs, modals, whatever—and that gap only widens

This is the benchmark I want to see. Two full-featured apps built with minimal prod dependencies. There's a pretty good chance that the various ShadCN modules share many of their dependencies so that importing more doesn't necessarily mean a linear increase in bundle size. It could be that once you build something full-featured, React projects come in smaller, or at least not big enough to invalidate the other upsides of choosing it.
I don't know, but shouldn't UNESCO when marking something of significance do this kind of research, and reaching out to organizations that are trying (and have been trying) to do essentially what they want to protect?

It is a great way of spreading the word ... many small organizations don't have the man power to do "other things" (like looking up how to apply for strange grants, let alone maybe know about them).

I was about to say exactly this.

Applying force directly to the center of gravity with one finger is hard.

You end up applying torque plus adjustments in response to that torque. And that is heavily dependent on your moment of inertia, unlike the normal force.

But I do agree that explanations of friction are right up there with “how do airfoils work” where poor instructors are liable to get long past the edge of their knowledge and just make shit up.
I fainted when I was an exercise class. I'd had too much to eat before then, my digestion was pretty slow then, also it was a crazy hot day in a building with a pool (high humidity) and an old HVAC system. Didn't help that I had a crush on the instructor and was trying even harder because of that.

Woke up on the ground feeling very relaxed. Got a medical workup that checked a lot of things, they had me wear a Holter monitor for a month. In the last 30 minutes of the study period they caught five bad heartbeats of A-Fib when I was sleeping. Funny one of my evil twin's schemes went south around then and I (we?) were feeling really bad about it. My cardiologist told me that the threshold was one bad heartbeat so I have A-Fib and have a risk of strokes, he recommended that I take a baby aspirin as it has a mild blood thinning effect.

Around the beginning of the next year I developed a deep vein thrombosis which got cleared up with Eliquis, a blood thinner. The emergency room referred me to my primary care doc who ran all sorts of tests and couldn't find a reason for the DVT so he decided to keep me on Eliquis indefinitely, the cardiologist figured that covered the A-Fib so I dropped the aspirin because the combination could cause excessive bleeding.

I have one of those credit card Kardia EKGs and haven't seen an A-Fib episode yet. For the decade before I got that workup I did crazy amounts of cardio (helped me stay sane under incredible pressure) and around the time my evil twin was out I was getting up in the morning before sunrise, hiking 6 miles, going to the gym during the day, going out in the evening and hiking another 6 miles. My cardiologist says I have "Athlete's heart" with an abnormally low resting heart rate (drops below 50 at night when I get a good night's rest) and I shouldn't do more than an hour of cardio a day, so I don't.

It's very clean and something repeated by almost every UI framework and document system. The separation is between structure, style, and interactivity. Most web apps actually fits the document models where you have content pages and forms. But people wants to bring desktop and game UI patterns into that. And make it a mess.

However there are two factors that might make "race to idle" more valid on phones than on most other platforms:

Smartphone chips are designed to much stricter thermal and power limits. There is only so much power you can get out of the tiny battery, and only so much heat you can get rid of without making the phone uncomfortably hot. Even in a burst that puts a limit on the wastefulness. Desktop CPUs are very different: If you can get 10% more performance while doubling power draw, people will just buy bigger coolers and bigger power supplies to go along with the CPU. Notebook CPUs are somewhere in the middle: limited, but with much better cooling and much more powerful batteries than phones.

The other thing is the operating system: "race to idle" makes sense in phones because the OS will actually put the CPU into sleep states if there's nothing to do, and puts active effort into not waking the CPU up unnecessarily and cramming work into the time slots when the CPU is active anyways. Desktop operating systems just don't do that to the same degree. You might race to idle, but the rest of the system will then just waste power with background work once it's idle.

F# is a big language so I think it is to be expected that beginners will not know these things. I don't think the fix is to simplify F# we should just understand that F# is not for everyone and that is ok.
What we currently have is a pyramid scheme: massive transfers from the young to the old, with collapsing fertility, meaning the state's obligations (pensions etc) will inevitably lead to default. If birthrates don't recover, most 1rd world states are bankrupt in a few decades, perhaps sooner.

The way this would not be a pyramid scheme is if it succeeds in halting fertility collapse. If.

I'm not saying they weren't a problem before, but the power of the Mexican cartels only really took hold after the Peso crisis. The pre-90s cartels, while significant, never had the same level of control that cartels had by the early 2000s.

Heck, Los Zetas is a notable example, where a bunch of pissed off special forces broke bad because a government salary during the peso devaluation just wouldn't cut it.

Same with the professionalization of synthetic drug manufacturing during the mass layoffs at Pemex during the 1990s.

> Traffic, for example, came out in 2000 and was based on the ongoing drug war in Mexico

Yep! After the Mexican economy straight up collapsed during the 1994 Peso Crisis and the Salinas administration began mass layoffs at Pemex in the early 1990s.

It's ridiculous to ignore the effects of the Peso Crisis and the offshoring of Mexican manufacturing when also talking about the rise of the Cartels during the 1990s-2000s.

Mexico's GDP collapsed by 6.5% in just 1 year (comparable to Lebanon's 2019 Liquidity Crisis), the inflation rate jumped to 35%, real wages fell by 35%, unemployment jumped from 3.9% to 7.9%, and infant mortality rates spiked from 5% to 12% all in just 1 year (1995).

This was a straight up economic collapse that made cartel employment (or hopping the border) enticing

You don't really need to split 1 & 2, since F# can define .NET interfaces and abstract classes just fine.

For that matter, you don't even need the interfaces if you wouldn't have had them in a C#-only solution. Just define the class in F# and use it directly from C#.

You still need a separate assembly for F#, but that doesn't imply dependency injection - again, just reference it and use it.

I think it comes down to how well you think the government functioned prior to Trump. If you believe that it was terrible, then having experience in the old system can be seen as a negative. Btw I don't think you're entirely wrong in your concerns. I dislike both DEI and RFK's ideas. Unfortunately the question still remains, how can we find the best people for the job? I think the medical industry is incredibly corrupt and at the same time don't believe Joe Rogan will find a solution to this problem.

I'm currently in the market for backend, full-stack, and data engineering positions.

I'm a smart and passionate senior software engineer specializing in high-performance data systems and functional programming. I bridge the gap between backend architecture and data engineering to build systems that are both reliable and maintainable.

At Scarf Systems, I most notably co-led the migration from OLTP-based pre-aggregated analytics to OLAP-based real-time analytics, scaled backend services, and integrated customer-driven controls into Scarf's metadata enrichment pipeline while delivering sub-50ms event processing times. Also, I optimized analytical queries supporting dynamic filtering to achieve sub-second dashboard performance across billions of events, applying numerous database techniques within PostgreSQL and ClickHouse.

I'm particularly passionate about database internals and using functional programming principles to solve complex engineering challenges. More specifically, I love learning about the algorithms and data structures used to power data-intensive applications.

I can't comment on the others but "La Republique en Marche" in France (Macron's party) is not rightwing. It goes from centre right to the centre left. From a British perspective it pretty much covers the right of Labour, the Lib Dems, and the left of the Tories.

Macron himself is very centrist to centre left. He started in government in Hollande's cabinet, which was a Socialist Party (= Labour) government. Many top figures in Macron's party now are former Socialist Party.

The rightwing party in France now is effectively the RN (although it is still referred to as "far-right" for historical and tactical reasons).

Nue indeed looks interesting. I could not immediately understand whether it uses a one-way data binding. Without it, and without a reactive model of some sort, building large UIs becomes a pain.

The React-based button from some framework is either over-engineered, or does way more than just a button. Using or not using such a component is a choice.

React may be a bit large (like 30-50 kB for a "hello world"), but preact is below 6 kB and gives you 90% of the React power for lighter-weight apps.

Also, the point of React is building huge and hugely complex dynamic UIs. There are much lighter-weight tools to add small bits of interactivity to mostly static pages, which are still the majority of the Web. (Ironically, HTMX is 14 kB, 2.5 timex larger than preact.)
Small nitpick ...

I see "Commission Rate (%)" as an input (when normally I see it as "Sales Target" as the input - which derives your commission rate)

Typically I see, $X is your Target Commission and $Y is your Sales Target.

(and when you divide those two figures, it equates to your % Commission Rate)
