Still feel extremely negative towards this company for tweaking an Alacritty fork then using that to get a $50million venture round then giving zero money towards Alacritty, an open source library that the founder completely owes their career too.
Not shocked they partnered with another company that is fine with raping the commons for profit, OpenAI.
They definitely did some git cleanup to remove this fact too going by their commit history.
> In Europe you get about 1000kWh a year from 1000kW of solar panel
Typo, 1000kWh from 1kW of solar panel.
I got my 455W panels for 70€ each, plus delivery. Microinverter ~200€. Aluminium etc for installation ~400€ or so. I installed them together with a friend. Total cost ~900€ or so. At 30ct/kWh in Germany, break even is in 3 years. Would be earlier if I had a better roof to put them on, mine has some shadow.
Pentests work to secure the product under test at the point in time of the test (if the company cares to fix the bugs...). The real solution is to design in security throughout the software lifecycle, not play pentest wack-a-mole game at the end of the cycle. If a pentester is finding trivial SQL injection in an app, then it is clear that the company never considered security. And unless the pentest makes them care, the cycle will just continue.
> But for things that are relevant to civilians, like the reactors, engines, etc.., I am sure that what's in subs is relatively simple, and probably dated.
It seems like submarine propeller designs are all classified past 1960, even though quiet and efficient propellers pretty relevant to civilian ship design:
The thing about military stuff is that generally the budget is large and the goal is to design something better than what the enemy has. The civilian world for a long time wasn't willing to blow hundreds of thousands of dollars on ASICs to control phased-array radars; the military was. Now as a result of lots of military investment, the technology is so well-understood that Google put a phased array on a chip inside the front of the Pixel 5.
> In addition, military technology is supposed to work on the battlefield, you don't want delicate stuff there, you want rugged, repairable, proven, reliable.
What you want is stuff that wins fights, and it only needs to be repairable and reliable insofar as it wins fights. The US has the F-22, which is an ultra expensive jet that only has ~60% uptime. In war games, it achieves kill ratios of 100:1, so the military is more than happy to keep it around. When the US raided Osama bin Laden's compound they sent brand new stealth helicopters even though they knew the platform was less reliable.
This has come up multiple times before, and more generally it's come up hundreds of times with Unix style tools in general. It's always been a stupid idea for every tool to have its own barely documented file format.
Looks interesting and fun, but in no instance of any C compiler I've come across is the "classic example" of "hello, world" using `fprintf(stderr, ...)`
Respectfully,
After a certain level of compensation, you are indeed judged purely off of input and output.
Workplace improvement does not justify your salary.
You will also find that many problems in the harder sciences do not get easier by throwing more bodies at them.
Comments like these remind me that some project managers think they'd be able to delivery a baby in 1 month if they simply had 9 women.
Amtrak started out as a holding company for private passenger rail companies that went bankrupt. It's never had a static amount of funding (until the Biden admin Amtrak had to renegotiate its budget regularly) and many of its stations are just per projects for rural Congress reps who want to give their district a way to leave their area, so Amtrak runs many trains at a loss.
People just do not understand how big and spread out the US is compared to other countries. "Last mile" dramatically underestimates how much heavy lifting the personal transportation part would need to do. More like "last 50 miles".
IRT the "college education", Collin County is statistically higher educated than most of the country demographically-speaking. >56% achieved bachelors or higher compared to NYC at ~42%.
Again, I don't want to get into a political slap fight here, I want to keep this on the subject of advertising.
It sounds to me like you're confusing the magnitude of advertising spending with effectiveness of advertising techniques.
Some people have found more effective ways to advertise to people, we know all this, it isn't uncharted conversation territory. We all know about micro-targetting based on personalized data, dominating certain niche mediums like AM radio to target people when they're driving and coordinated pushes with people in industry.
The point is that advertising works. It works disconcertingly well.
This is why people buy stupidly impractical automobiles that they don't need.
The nice thing about C++ is that if you want to use plain old C arrays, you can. And there will be no extra overhead over plain C.
You will lose many nice features like fancy strings and easy array resizing (which may or may not be acceptable to you), but you don’t have to pay for it if you don’t use it. (Mostly)
This does seem pretty complicated. And I doubt I will ever use it. But for some the trade off is worth it, and they get to make the choice.
Speaking of developer tooling spend - IDEs are far harder to build such as JetBrain etc and don't think any IDE would be charging this amount to any customer per month.
Not sure how much of a productivity gain a 2.5 million per year it is?
I am a huge proponent of increased public transit (I'm of the opinion that every city should have a massive congestion tax with large swaths only accessible on foot or by public transit), but trains and buses would be wildly inconvenient for what op is describing.
Trying to take something like a windsurf board on a train and then having to navigate multiple train changes along with whatever other baggage you have makes it a non-starter.
The "last mile problem" you mention is unresolved when it comes to getting from the closest public transit stop to the actual destination (frequently in a park or even off road).
And finally, the final cost to the rider would be significantly higher, as sleeper trains are not cheap.
I think America could do quite well if it focused on public transit in and between densely populated areas. Fewer cars in cities could make for denser cities, which in turn could allow for even more public transit. But outside of population centers, America is much more spread out than Europe, meaning that trains are less economical, and often wouldn't get the ridership that would allow them to make sense.
Cool, but yes you can render whatever you want as long as you register an MCP resource and use it as part of a tool call. It is just html in an iframe.
I have never seen a single ad online, except may be for one moment the ad blocker malfunctioned. I am certainly an around 0$ ad value user for Google. So some must be much more than 1605.
