What are you doing in aviation safety that requires time series modeling? Weather?

Personally, I think that's what they should've been doing all along. If it doesn't work at this point, it's because it's too late, and they've already burned enough of their credibility that people don't w

At the same time, even a tiny bit of friction is enough to get people over the mental hump of paying for something. They could easily gate off certain features behind a paid build, so either you pay or compile it yourself from source. Downs

I donate to them as well, but donating broadly to the Mozilla foundation isn't the same as selling the web browser in exchange for money.

If there is one single piece of software I will post a recurring fee for, it's a web browser. Look at Kagi and Orion for example (I pay for both). It's like email. You need to get people over the mental hump. But then if you offer

Stupid autocorrect thing, I meant "highly programmable".

Would it be theoretically possible to get this working in one of the "highly highly" editors like Vim/Neovim, Emacs, etc?

But was it ever attested as a one-word verb before Photoshop-the-software existed? That would be a fascinating artifact of "skeumorphic" software naming.

I made the same comment but got flagged for my clumsy phrasing. I got a good laugh out of it. I couldn't tell if it was a subtle joke, or a confused young author + lapse in editing.

It has not yet become unreasonable by definition. Certain powerful forces would like that to be the the case, and they have been successful at moving things in that direction so far, but they haven't succeeded yet.

On the contrary, that article makes it seem perfectly fine to invest in index funds.

No sorry, just geospatial (horizontal position on the surface of the Earth ). It should be theoretically possible to re-develop it for other spaces (it's "just" a hexagon tiling), but the H3 team put a lot of work into the d

Bad move unless they're actively day trading. This won't have any serious effect on Disney stock.

Also the above-mentioned SaaS customers will face no negative consequences from investors or otherwise, just some bad press that will be forgotten quickly and amount to nothing. It's great if your SaaS vendor gets hacked and not you:

There are a lot of nice things about H3. At work it's our default tool for partitioning and indexing of horizontal position data.

Likewise it's difficult to link to content within those platforms. But the reason they don't like external links is that If they can't easily follow, external links, they are more likely to shrug and keep scrolling, instead

The fact that it's wrong sometimes is a lot less interesting than the probability distribution of wrongness, conditional on magnitude.

The data was stored in a cloud data warehouse called Snowflake, which had a major breach recently.

The author is definitely confused. Direnv and Nix are not related.

Is it? I thought they had a huge backlog already. Unless they are so mismanaged that they can't afford to build the planes they already agreed to deliver, it sounds like they have plenty of time before it becomes a problem.

It would have taken more effort, because the data collection is not something they have the ability to selectively disable, it's so backed into their platform and business model.

rEFInd is the magic tool here. Personally I still use GRUB for all of the reasons you stated above. But rEFInd + kernel gets you pretty close.

Ah, so you have Jupyter itself running remotely? I was hoping you had a good workflow for starting or connecting to remote kernels using a local Jupyter frontend. This seems like such an obvious use case, but the ecosystem support for it

Also hardware R&D is actually pretty hard. What happens if the box is dropped? Can it pass international regulations for air travel? What does your manufacturing supply chain look like? What's your acceptable QC failure rate, and h

Do you have an existing workflow for that? I tried to set up some thing like that a couple years ago and couldn't figure out how to do it without copy-pasting the connection info JSON, which was not a comfortable workflow.
