He was in his apartment. There was a call to the police about an argument in the building. The officer went to an apartment that is said the be the wrong one, banged on the door and shouted to open up. Fortston answered the door with a piston in his hand, pointing at the floor. The officer shot him.

According to the media, Forston was on the phone with his girlfriend for a while by the time the police were called. It seems to me that, as far as the officer was aware, the only “crime” that occured was “an argument”, and it sounds like the officer also had the wrong apartment. Unless I can view the bodycam footage it’s hard to be certain but this definitely sounds like he was killed because he was black and had a gun.

This was also the sixth launch of a Falcon 9 rocket in a period of eight days, more flights than SpaceX’s main US rival, United Launch Alliance, has launched in 17 months.

Ouch! I knew it was bad, being in this transition period to Vulcan, but hearing the numbers really puts it into perspective.

The 20 flight milestone for a single booster is also incredibly impressive. Funny looking back to when booster reuse was considered a fool’s errand. Nice to have some good news for a change.

I’m only an armchair physicist, but I believe this isn’t possible due to relativity. I know that, at least, there are cases where two observers can disagree on whether an event occurred simultaneously. Besides all the other relativity weirdness, that alone seems to preclude a truly universal time standard. I would love for someone smarter than me to explain more and/or correct me though!

As spacecraft reenter the atmosphere from orbital speeds, they’re going so fast that the atmosphere is compressed enough (and so gets hot enough) to free the electrons from the atoms in the air. This forms plasma. The special thing here is that we got live video during this portion of reentry; the free electrons in plasma heavily interfere with radio communications, so in previous missions there has been a full communications blackout at that time. Starship did not experience that blackout, which is unique. I’m not qualified to say exactly why, but the team was stressing that Starship is big enough that it “punches a hole through the atmosphere”. Another factor could be the 4(?) starlink terminals on the leeward side providing redundant communications signals.

You’re looking for Fred Rogers, more commonly Mr. Rogers. He was the host of the popular children’s show Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, and is revered for having been incredibly compassionate both in public and private.

I was very intrigued by a follow-up to the recent numberphile video about divergent series. It was a return to the idea that the sum of the integers greater than zero can be assigned the value -1/12. There were some places this could be used, but as far as I know it was viewed as shaky math by a lot of experts.

As far as I recall the story goes something like this: now, using a new technique Terrence Tao found, a team was seemingly able to “fix” previous infinities in quantum field theory - there’s a certain way to make at least some divergent series work out to being a real number, and the presenter proposed that this can be explained as the universe “protecting us” from the infinities inherent in the math.

It made me think about other places infinities show up in modern physics (namely, singularities in general relativity) and whether a technique something like this could “solve” them without a whole new framework like string theory is.

Apple (slrpnk.net)

I don’t care if anyone has a Xiaomi, Oneplus, Samsung, etc. Each brand is using a modified version of Android, and they chose to be compatible with each other. But for example the “blue vs green bubble” drama is a thing specifically because of Apple locking their unsuspecting users into a closed ecosystem. And it sure...

sleep_deprived,

Even as an (older) zoomer in the US, this was never a thing for me. No one cared what phone you used. If you had an Android you wouldn’t be in iMessage group chats but no one judged you for it.

sleep_deprived,

Reminds me of Starliner. Politics, oversized management, and bureaucracy are cancer to engineering programs.

sleep_deprived,

The issue is that, in the function passed to reduce, you’re adding each object directly to the accumulator rather than to its intended parent. These are the problem lines:


<span style="color:#323232;">if (index == array.length - 1) {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">	accumulator[val] = value;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">} else if (!accumulator.hasOwnProperty(val)) {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">	accumulator[val] = {}; // update the accumulator object
</span><span style="color:#323232;">}
</span>

There’s no pretty way (that I can think of at least) to do what you want using methods like reduce in vanilla JS, so I’d suggest using a for loop instead - especially if you’re new to programming. Something along these lines (not written to be actual code, just to give you an idea):


<span style="color:#323232;">let curr = settings;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">const split = url.split("/");
</span><span style="color:#323232;">for (let i = 0; i &lt; split.length: i++) {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    const val = split[i];
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    if (i != split.length-1) {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        //add a check to see if curr[val] exists
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        let next = {};
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        curr[val] = next;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        curr = next;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    }
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    //add else branch
</span><span style="color:#323232;">}
</span>

It’s missing some things, but the important part is there - every time we move one level deeper in the URL, we update curr so that we keep our place instead of always adding to the top level.

sleep_deprived,

If anybody’s curious, I tried it with GPT4 and it got it right.

My experience with single GPU passthrough on Proxmox to a media VM was pretty positive, especially for it being an old Nvidia card. Even as someone doing it for the first time, it just took about 10 minutes to figure out the passthrough itself and another ~15 to figure out some driver issues. And it’s worked perfectly since then. All in all much better than what I’d expected.

sleep_deprived,

The GPU I used is actually a 1080, with a (rapidly declining in usefulness) Intel 4690k. But I suppose laptop vs desktop can certainly make all the difference. What I really want is GPU virtualization, which I’ve heard AMD supports, but I’m not about to buy a new GPU when what I’ve got works fine.

sleep_deprived,

Besides rendering bugs that may or may not be Safari’s fault, I wanted to get uBlock Origin on an iPhone but it’s not available, IIRC because the content blocking API is more restrictive than what uBlock is designed for.

sleep_deprived,

The CAD files needed for making an expansion card are open source so you could make your own if you have the expertise. It’s been tried before, but to my knowledge nobody’s done it. I could be wrong though.

sleep_deprived,

I assume they’re reffering to the fact that China dumps spent rocket stages over land and one recently landed in a relatively populated area.

sleep_deprived,

Pretty crazy that losing a booster is exceptional now. This also gets me thinking about whether the final F9 life leader, as F9 retires, will be lost or recovered and still able to fly if it needed to. Either way it’s exciting to think about a future where Falcon is obsolete!

'Chilling effect': People expressing pro-Palestinian views censured, suspended from work and school | CBC News (www.cbc.ca)

Restaurant staff losing their jobs for cheering on a pro-Palestinian protest. A Palestinian Canadian journalist fired for her social media posts calling for a #freepalestine. Medical residents flagged to potential hiring committees for their support of Palestinians....

sleep_deprived,

Here’s a field manual that details the rules and has some advice. There are a whole host of rules protecting civillians hospitals, but in the case where Hamas is using them as military bases, I’d say they can be considered primarily as human shields, though I’m no expert, and even if that’s not the case they’re still civillians and therefore protected. According to paragraph 2-20, “feasible precautions” must be taken to reduce civillian harm. This means bombing is pretty much out of the question, but there are still plenty of other ways to get at Hamas, such as SpecOps, sieges, and diplomacy. It’s a difficult situation, but that doesn’t mean you get to kill civillians with impunity.

sleep_deprived,

They’re welcome to retaliate. They’re just not allowed to indiscriminately bomb civillian infrastructure.

sleep_deprived,

Cool little article. I’m super excited for them to get those samples back home!

sleep_deprived,

Yeah personally I haven’t needed jQuery in years.

sleep_deprived,

I was even kind of interested, but then I got further in the main quest and figured out what the ending is…

Then I felt like there was no point to anything I did.

sleep_deprived,

Thanks for this! Really want to keep up with the goings on in space but it’s really hard without Reddit.

sleep_deprived,

I’m really hoping for before '24 of course because of the yearly launch limit, but realistically I think January is possible and February is most likely. I’d be surprised if it isn’t before March unless there’s extenuating circumstances, e.g. FAA or lawsuits.

sleep_deprived,

Having made the choice to use GTK for a Rust project years ago - before a lot of the more Rust-friendly frameworks were around - this is exactly why I chose it. Nothing to do with DEs or any of that, just looking for a better coding experience. Now I’d probably choose one of the several Rust-focused solutions that have popped up though.
