Apologizing bought them another round of "earned media". Not only did the ad get press, now the apology gets press, exposing the message "there's a new, thinner iPad" to people who didn't see the ad before. I p

Does the USA necessarily need to weaken NATO ties at the expense of AUKUS ties?

I wonder if this means SpaceX can build launch and landing facilities in Australia. Australia is really well positioned near the equator. I think it also has better weather than Florida, but I'm not sure.

I think cognition programs' ability to define and redefine and even step into and out of syntax structures at runtime is really beautiful. Particularly because the machinery is so minimal. I'm not a language expert so I don't

The President is the chief executive of both agencies. He didn't need to have one agency recommend it to the other for consideration over a multi-year timescale. It could have been executed within a few weeks to a few months. The off

Increased surveillance powers serve the purpose of doing nothing. Force private entities to do the work of slurping everything thing up. Hire contractors to write the analysis software. Then tie your performance metric to the number of aler

I wish society would stop viewing punishment as a tool for the greater good, whether as revenge or as something that will "correct" the criminal. Treating it as a correction feels like a lie that polite society tells itself in ord

I'm not an EE, so please understand this as a sincere question: wouldn't the code and its comments become documentation that would otherwise be in the well-drawn schematic? As an outsider, my assumption is that the schematic would

I think what you're missing is that lenders don't lend blindly. They expect to be paid back. Just as an investor expects to recoup their investment. Buying a bond (i.e. a loan to a company) is as much of an investment strategy as

The word reputable was an interesting choice to describe Boeing. It also carries a bold implication that the space company shuttling astronauts to and from the ISS—only two days ago [1]—is… disreputable? Meanwhile, Boeing Starliner certai

I love me some wild speculation, but it seems more likely that SpaceX needed a more capable jet to ferry large, critical parts from Hawthorne to Brownsville. Otherwise they'd need to go on a trailer. Now for my own wild speculation: Sp

I try to remember that I've learned my engineering lessons in small doses, over many years, and often in an environment where I wasn't the most senior engineer, without the full scope of the design under my control. As I've g

I felt this way for a long time. And maybe I'm projecting my past struggles onto what you're describing. I shared my current approach in a different comment already [0]. The gist is that I use an optional config struct, whose valu

Not the OP, but I mitigate the issue rather than use a different pattern. Like so: type Server struct { val bool } type Config struct { Val bool } func NewServer(... config *Config ...) http.Handler { if config == nil { config = &

Super intriguing. Thanks for sharing! It reminds me a bit of an early Go project called Upspin [1]. And also a bit of Solid [2]. Did you take any inspiration from them? What excites me about your project is that you're addressing the e

Correct. You're just not going to get into a bottleneck situation with ~4-8 people per floor/flight of stairs.

I can speak to and endorse this kind of unit from personal experience. I was born, raised and lived most of my life in Denver, CO. Now, I live in France in a 'single-stair multifamily'. Growing up I mostly lived in single family h

Can you add a service worker and manifest to make this into a progressive web app that works offline? If there's a GitHub, I'd love to help add that feature because it'd be useful to me. If it's not public you can find m
