and definitely Space Jam!

I'm rather surprised they're not using something like knex here, which would make psql + mssql + mysql etc available fairly out of the box, but I'm sure there's a good technical reason they're not.

I really love the reading the codebases for these, the original Arc90 Readability bookmarklet was really quite...readable when unminified.

Disclaimer: I know nothing about prions.

I think there's a mistake in the article, her website goes into more detail:

> Emilie is therefore working that day on samples of mice infected with strains of human prions. It is important to stress here that these were human strains and not animal strains, the species barrier no longer protecting, the infectivity of the pathogens handled by Emilie was therefore total.

i enjoy reading to my 7 month old. she has no idea what's going on, but she likes being cuddled, the sound of her parent's voices and turning the pages. what i really enjoy is that she has no idea of linear narrative, so she will turn the book to the last page and then the first. then try to eat the book. then at some point cry.

the very hungry caterpillar is somewhat unique in that she absolutely loves the illustrations, like no other book. she really sits still and gazes agog at them, especially that picture of the sun at the beginning.

> These [QOS levels] turn out to be integer values spread evenly between 9 and 33, respectively.

Anyone know why this is? seems fairly arbitrary...why not have 1,2,3,4,5?

> inside of Google, they are using databases to store filesystems.

I'm struggling to picture this, do you have any links I could read?

The guy did say he just creates an IMDB page of someone when he wants to upload their feet though which does render that rule...well not pointless but not exactly point...ful?

Ah I remember when Mandrill was hit with the XID thing, painful day.

You know how you get off a plane and everything about a place 3000 miles away feels different? Not just smells and heat, but the light seems different. The surfaces and materials are different. The uh...(actual) atmosphere seems different.

Is for example, the atmosphere seeming different a real physical phenomenon that could be detected by ML?

why do these posts keep being removed from the HN front page?

No, it's being patchily enforced sitewide.

Thomann are a brilliant company, old school customer service, competitive prices, great selection. I hate that Brexit has made buying from them not worth it.

eh, i sometimes play it just to challenge myself and i'm truly terrible. it's fun to get new lines and give the oppo a laugh.

I bet on some dark corner of the internet those sentiments are echoed tounge firmly outside of cheek.

We use both in our code base. Sometimes knex makes sense, sometimes Objection makes sense. That's actually one of the nice things about it wrapping knex.

it will be coasting on its fins during atmospheric entry for mars EDL. (Old-ish) video simulation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDTZEVMArBE

That phase wipes off >99% of the total energy required to get to 0 m/s, which is pretty remarkable because Mars' atmosphere is ~1% of Earth's.

Speaking as someone who manages a WP blog rarely, makes no money from it and has no skin in this game or preconceptions about RTE in Wordpress, I am really impressed by Gutenberg.

It seems to be about the right level of abstraction for "semi-structured" data, it feels balanced between block and WYSIWYG editing, and that's a hard balance to strike.

I also definitely sympathise with those that use the classic editor because it's what they know, and that's fine. We should celebrate any architecture that supports choice.

> Is the ISS somehow better protected near earth than in deep space?

yes but it's incredibly complicated, radiation comes from multiple sources. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Atlantic_Anomaly and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Allen_radiation_belt

A decent desktop computer.

How predictable/consistent does the latency have to be for those use cases? or do you just assume the p99 and be done with it?

How is it? I've seen it peddled by a lot of youtubers that I like.

Yarn doesn't appear to have a status page any more, and in addition, doesn't operate a mirror, just a CNAME.

Orbit is incredibly hard. It's only just possible. A few percent more gravity and we would be permanently earth-bound. Getting to orbit requires hundreds of thousands of components to function together perfectly. Failure requires one to go wrong.

Some relatively unstructured thoughts: I'm not sure I agree with 2 for this use case: writing the GDP table is a pain because table markup is (necessarily) verbose, and it's fiddly to copy and paste all of those fields individually. If I can get 95% of the way there with a couple of syntax errors that are picked up/fixed by my linter then I'm a happy customer.

That said the way he generates a table is in no way idiomatic react, where you take an array of objects and map the data on to the table.

In terms of code generation, is it actually any better than using an emmet expression? `table>tr*10>td` (I've probably mangled that). What's interesting with the table example is probably the combination of "knowledge" and knowing enough about a DSL to generate a coherent output.

I agree re cherry picking, though the initial fine tuning set is extraordinarily small, just 2 items. Generating a much larger dataset shouldn't actually be that tricky, though perhaps getting agreement on how to actually describe a layout in plain English might be more of a challenge. Would a plethora of descriptions for the same layout be a bad thing?

Lastly, I've been using TabNine (https://www.tabnine.com/) for the past few months, and I'm convinced that some kind of language model text generation is going to change how we write code, it's already changed it for me. If I signal my intent pretty clearly up front, I would say most of my coding is now tabbing and occasionally pressing the down arrow. Even writing comments becomes an exercise writing an initial three of four words and tabbing out the rest. Ditto tests.

yeh! I like watching rocket launches from multiple camera angles!

And i watch a lot of simracing with multiple streamers streaming the same race.

I love PiP but I wish it worked for multiple videos simultaneously on desktop.

Some do, you just have to pay for it.
