As far as I know we have no Persian sources for the batte of Thermopylæ. Historians also agree that Xerxes couldnt possibly have had a million man strong army.
Does this mean the war is entirely fictional? Ancient sources tend to be strongly mythologized, but “entirely fictional” is a very strong claim.
LEO is not the place to worry about Kessler syndrome.
Mostly, Kessler syndrome isn’t something to worry about at all; there are just a lot of orbital planes available. But in LEO, the mechanics don’t even apply.
While this is true that the stack and domain does not matter for any capable software engineer, most jobs are for hiring particular narrow specialists, requiring the years of experience in a particular framework, and even experience working on an exact same product but in a different company.
Like you I keep them separate. Not just my phone. I don't do anything personal on work devices (don't log into personal email or banks, etc...)
But, I believe I'm in the minority. Most of my fellow employees have added corp to their phone. I believe most do personal stuff on their work computer. I was once at an SV party and several Apple employees (3 women, 5 gay men, 3 straight men) said they all used their work laptops to watch porn at home or traveling. I was pretty shocked. Not that they watched but that they used work laptops for it. They all thought it was fine.
PoW can theoretically scale effectively infinite because it can mine cryptocurrency. Millions of compromised IoT devices hitting your server? Now you have enough money for a faster server.
It doesn’t matter that the challenge must be verified: present multiple challenges, some are verified while others mine crypto.
Cookies can be encrypted and signed and contain whatever information you want, not just some random token that has to be looked up in the database to be actually useful.
This is what aspnet core does by default if you enable cookie-based authentication. Gives you the best of both worlds.
For expat most important part of comfort its entertainment and socialization. In cheap areas you will only have locals who depend on country might want or not to socialize with you, but either way cultural gap will be massive and finding friends will be a struggle for most.
There of course cities with a lot of expats and activities, but imagine what - living there is not cheap. Cheaper than US / EU, but you still gonna need that $2000 / month.
Wont even start on topic of lost opportunities from lack of networking since we talk of some extreme downshifting here. But most people need friends and safety net at least.
> Like there's a reason we invented cookies and all mature web frameworks use them for auth.
Cookie stealers, issues with third-party cookies and tracking... it's not like the past was a paradise, in fact, quite the opposite. Hell I 'member times when we had to append ?PHPSESSID=... to URLs. Cookies were a stopgap...
Global cellular operator revenue is approx $1T. They have put their toe in the water with direct-to-cellular support for starlink, and have bought spectrum to improve this. I'm sure they basically want to offer cellular to everyone in the world and get a good chunk of that $1T. Maybe they want 20% of it? Sounds crazy, but China Mobile, Verizon, and Deutsche Telecom each have 10%. Sounds it's not so wild that they can grab a big chunk, especially if they can find new customers that are not already connected.
And of course they can also continue to grow their broadband internet access business.
I suppose they will likely start putting cameras and other data sensors on the satellites so they can sell other data for mapping, positioning services, agriculture, weather, etc. The incremental cost to add this to the platform will be almost nothing compared to existing systems.
We do. First off we have a public parquet-format index of all of the urls we crawl every month. And then that also lives in a HDFS table that determines when we want to recrawl a page we've crawled before.
Yeah, I find the majority of comments here interesting. Sure, it should be common sense not to email internal documents to yourself when you leave, or keep a company laptop and access internal networks after you no longer work at a place. That's just dumb and unethical and illegal.
But also, I can't find it in myself to really care about this. Trillion-dollar company takes ideas from other trillion-dollar company. Apple has done this to much smaller companies countless times. But OpenAI-on-Apple violence is so far removed from a crime that actually harms normal people that I'm not sure why I should give a shit.
Simultaneously though, those 80% of Americans that live in cities/within the typical commuting distance of a metropolitan area are also the ones that are usually serviced by at least one broadband or fiber provider. Because of this:
- Having slowly-increasing pressure on those often-monopoly broadband/fiber carriers because people have the option to swap to Starlink, adds competitive pressure for them to improve their service, reduce prices, etc
- The remaining 20% of the population that lives on the 60-80%+ of the land who currently have terrible options, but fit well within the density restrictions of current-gen Starlink satelites, suddenly have options
Why have a kW/Nm - HP/lbf setting, but no metric/US option for the bore and stroke?
Others here are suspicious of the numbers, but at least for the actual engine in my daily driver which I've dyno'd before, it seems reasonable with around 400HP and 450lbf for a 400ci NA V8.
> We can’t legislate every aspect of a respectable society.
Well it's either capitalism and regulations with no end in sight to make sure that the rich don't exploit their power to exploit everyone else, or it's random executions of bosses for "moral wrongdoings", or it's something between communism and socialism.
> It's not colourful but everything is well made because it's made for professionals.
Nuclear plants, planes, etc use colour so you can differentiate very quickly under pressure. Much easier to shout "THE RED BUTTON!!!" than "The second button five down from the left!"
If the only reason you didn't behave that way to begin with is that you lack the money and power to evade the consequences, then yes. You really are that person.

So it is about grifting, just as we thought. Not everything is about the money, my man. And then you go on and use the literal most tired trope of "you're going to be left behind". No original thoughts.
I see. Wasn't aware of this. However, it does not appear that an official standard for concurrency exists within the Common Lisp Document Repository (CDR). To be honest, CL implementers should just solicit donations for producing a standard.
There are also other basic things needed for adoption - standard APIs for database providers, etc
neovim + claude code + open terminal is exactly my setup! But all the heavy lifting I used to do simply I’m not doing it anymore. I spend most of the time creating new worktrees and reviewing code, and I guess I’m just not interested about the implementation details that much (not that I don’t look at the code, but minor styling things I just ignore them right now)
I’m transitioning to this new way of work btw, so I still haven’t made up my mind. That’s why I asked for someone else opinion here :)
The colonies and, later, the United States didn’t just practice slavery; they industrialized it by transporting by force 12.5 million Africans to the Americas for nearly 250 years.
Even as fortunes were made, that didn’t stop the torture, rape, and brutality of these enslaved people.
Even after the Civil War, the descendants of the former enslaved people had to live under the Apartheid-like system of Jim Crow that lasted for another hundred years until the Civil Rights Act was enacted in 1964 and the Voting Rights Act in 1965.
Appreciate your kind words! Many opeople have worked at Common Crawl over the years, and it's been a labor of love fueled by positive comments like yours and the large list of PhD theses helped by our public web dataset.
What a dumb argument. Over the millennia Christian theocracy has been a net benefit to the world. There is a reason why the world wants to live in Christian countries and not in Muslims countries. And its not for the food.
