OK, but Finland has the lowest electricity prices in Europe and is pretty cold for most of the year. It makes sense that people want to put datacenters there.
This is great, congrats for such a huge accomplishment!
My only wish is if asciinema natively supported saving into svg or gif. This would allow you to easily add it to markdown files without the need to install side apps to convert the output to those formats.
Almost The Sound of Music IRL, down to being located in Salzburg. No word of Julie Andrews but Romy Schneider attended school there in the late 1940s with one of the nuns.
Well, the point of a student's project is to reinvent the wheel.
One should limit the number of wheels being reinvented each time, though. What would also reduce the time-to-space of those projects. The design should cover 100% of the CubeSat, so the students can redesign any part they want.
(I work at Oxide, though I wasn't around for the initial chip selection process)
It's at least partially a matter of timing: Oxide was picking its initial hardware in roughly 2020, and the RP2040 wasn't released until 2021.
A handful of people have done ports, e.g. https://github.com/oxidecomputer/hubris/pull/2210, but I expect to stick with STM32s for the foreseeable future – we've got a lot to do, and they're working well enough!
A combination of amateur radio operators, university ground station cooperatives (most universities with a cubesat program set up their own and join the coop), open source ground station networks like SatNOGS, and commercial services like AWS Ground Station.
On the satellite it’s just an off the shelf UHF/VHF transmitter or SDR.
Its a little unclear in the bulleted list but in the volley ball example it becomes evident the author isn't talking about reflexes.
"Where do I pass the ball to if it comes to me? What is the current formation? Should I try to receive the ball, or will my team-mate go for it?"
There he's describing quick on-the-fly strategic choices eg. what is the best move to make in the next half second? So he can hit the ball but he can't do the quick thinking to know if he should.
Illustrator for iPad. Especially coming from CS6. It seems like most of the functionality exists, but some things are incredibly tedious to change or are buried too many menus deep. It’s almost an uncanny valley thing, it’s too close to what I’m used to that it throws me off. I tend to only reach for it when I specifically want use a stylus/pencil and then go back to desktop as soon as I can.
But it's still preferable to the one that didn't alert you the one time it really needed to.
A test with a high false positive rate can be combined with other tests to give a better picture. A wave detection plus a seismic event is a lot more compelling than either on their own, so long as non-seismic "tsunami" detections and non-tsunami causing seismic events tend to be independent events.
A false negative on the other hand at best might be dismissed if you have enough other evidence, but more than likely will make you stop looking at more data. A zero false negative rate is likely unachievable, and the perfect is the enemy of the good enough, but false negatives are a much worse issue to deal with than false positives.
The energy use claims are questionable, but I at least get where they're coming from. The water use is the confusing part. Who looks at a server rack and goes ‘darn, look at how water intensive this is’? People use water as a coolant in large part because it's really hard to boil, plus it's typically cheap because it regularly gets delivered to your front door for free.
As to actual numbers, they're not that hard to crunch, but we have a few good sources that have done so for us.
Passive aggression is not a good way to live. Fix your logical errors. Are you saying you really don’t know better? Keep in mind that a low quality comment gets read more times that it is written. You may not understand this now, but you really should appreciate feedback of all kinds.
If you mean Subliming, it is not tied to "perfect AI" or anything like that in the books. It is not actually clear what the prerequisite from it is, but the books have examples of races Subliming that are less technologically proficient than the Culture (notably, the Chelgrians).
Nor does it imply that Sublimed civilizations are somehow more of an utopia. They are clearly more capable, but in terms of social organization, again, Chelgrians are a strong counter-example where the Sublimed part of the race literally demands the rest of it to commit genocide as a form of revenge to get access to heaven.
The premise is bullshit... there were LOTS of competing options when React first came out... it wasn't really until Redux hit that a lot of people started seriously using it. A lot of the flux implementations were painful, configuring Webpack was a pain, etc, etc.
It may be the default today, but it largely earned that position by being one of the better options out there. Today there's alternatives and even Angular still has a decent following, not that I'll touch it if I can avoid it.
With Mint (https://mint-lang.com/) I'm trying to move away from frameworks in a language to the language being the framework — having abstractions for things which are done by packages and frameworks like components, localization, routing, etc... done in the language itself.
This means that in theory the backend/runtime can be replaced (and was replaced ones from React to Preact (0.7.0 -> 0.8.0) then to use hooks and signals instead of class components (0.19.0 -> 0.20.0), and the code will remain the same.
This has one drawback which deters framework creators from choosing the language since there is no reason to innovate on something that is already "done", which leads to fewer people using it in general and hinders adoption, but I'm still optimistic.
They don't do it consistently and they change their enforcement of it over time. Even when it's not done automatically, they can and have inspected closely "by hand" if they are looking for a reason to punish. It is a liability.
I mean, the vast majority of the time, I don't care. The one that actually did make me mad was Apple Messages getting pre-generated replies on every Messages window when you click into the field, which a) I don't want, and b), and this is the irritating part: the little popup thing that shows them so you can click them obstructs the Enter key from sending whatever you have typed. So you constantly have to either hit Escape to dismiss it, or click it away, before you can send what you actually want to send.
It's remarkably fucking annoying and is genuinely one of the worst UX decisions Apple has made in like a decade.
A looong time ago I wrote my first blog post - on a now defunct website - about a VecMap where I did exactly that. Sort when needed and full flat array. That said flat_map as coined by Google is an acronym for swiss tables. See [1]. I.e. exactly what Rust's standard library `HashMap` is, also the one being tested here.
> It stands to reason that Apple wouldn't have developed this feature if they weren't using it. Where? We have no idea.
If I had to guess, probably in the iCloud settings inside of the Settings app. Also in the App Store/Music/TV account page (when you tap on your avatar in the top right of the app.) A bunch of those pages have quite well hidden web views pretending to be native ones, mainly loading things from the iTunes backend services (the give away is normally that you can long press <a> links and a web page preview pops up.) It's probably being used for the user guide inside of the Tips app as well.
I disagree. Boring work needs meaning, not tension. Some times boring, done consistently, is where the truly great things come from.
Tension is, imo, ephemeral. If you keep chasing it, you are chasing dopamine loops. Little good comes from this.
But meaning is different. When you can remind yourself a truly great "why" you are doing something, can re-frame it, it can help.
Most importantly, boredom, irritation, and anxiety are temporary. They are emotions. They do not define us or the work. It was a joy when I realized that all these emotions will pass. They really do. You can sit with it. You really can. You can't make it go away, but it will pass.
Not only that when learning business one comment made was
decisions are not made in meetings they are made in discussions before the meetings. Going into a meeting an thinking that your comments will change things is being naive.
Now at least some of these meetings are recorded via WhatsApp and leaks before they never were.
