> At the time of the acquisition Uber planned to integrate Drizly into Uber Eats, but never came did.

"but never came did" Is this a grammar mistake or am I reading it incorrectly? Am I going out on a limb thinking that Techcrunch might be leaning into LLMs and reducing their editor's oversight.


This is the kind of error that LLMs almost never make but writers on minimum wage make all the time.


There is a typo under A Better Way to Build Your Frontend.

> Use page-level context without "worring" about concurrency and mutex

Edit: here is a PR to fix that https://github.com/yuriizinets/kyoto/pull/46


Yes, I had a 15 month non-compete after leaving a high frequency trading firm. I got married and traveled 3 months around Asia (Japan, Korea, S.E. Asia, Australia). We came back and did some domestic travel then she went back to work and I started to concentrate on job search and personal projects.

The travel was great and unforgettable. I would suggest taking it slow if you are thinking of something similar. We enjoyed places when we were there for at least a week or more. We both eventually got fatigued from the constant moving and planning. I would certainly do it again but I would try to spend more time in total and longer stays at fewer places.

When I got back and my wife was working again, I tried to stay physically active to take up as much time as possible. I committed to expanding some of my knowledge by working in languages and frameworks that I wasn't exposed to in my last position.

Even with the effort to keep active and learning there is still a lot of time on your hands when you are not working. This tends to get filled with more low potential pastimes like video games, TV, etc. Everyone I know who had a similar non-compete leaned on these pastimes more than they wanted to, but its really hard to fill that much time with productive activities. If you want to avoid your vices I would suggest setting out a plan for 3, 6, 9 months and revisiting it every month. I'm not saying you have to stick to your goals but you should stay long term oriented to be productive.


Yes, agreed, planning to a certain extent is vital. Thanks for your input!


I believe the dark side of the moon would be more apt for radio astronomy. The obvious reason being that the Moon is blocking interference of artificial radio signals on Earth.


The moon is interfering with radio signals? Doesn't this only happen if the moon is literally blocking line of sight? It seems like being outside of earth's atmosphere and ionosphere would be the biggest benefit for radio.


The moon is basically a giant reflector for (many bands of) radio. The reason the US government funded so many radio telescope arrays was to monitor Soviet ballistic missile tests, by looking at signals reflected off the moon.


There's still a lot of rf noise that can penetrate that far. ~3,400km of solid rock is a much better attenuator.


I've been working in golang professionally for about a year now coming from a long career in C++. Although there is some simplicity to golang that can be appreciated things like this below make me think that the premise of less is more is fundamentally incorrect if you cannot accomplish everything that is necessary.

Specifically the last one of embedding an empty array of mutexes into a struct prevents that struct from being copied. This is something that is easily and explicitly accomplished in C++ by making the constructors private.


I would be really interested to no what the cost of this program is. Even if it's above a modest cost I think it's something the city should look into providing going forward. We should consider providing basic services to all our residents no questions asked starting with food and hygiene services. I also think New York could be greatly improved by providing public bathrooms and showers.


I'm getting a 404 at your NYTimes link. I believe this is a correct link https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/15/health/medical-scans-butt...


I would be very interested to know what innovation allows them produce Lidar at this price point.


It's solid state LIDAR. Doesn't require the massive mechanical precision that spinning LIDAR needs.


Solid state LIDAR actually coming to market is perhaps the bigger story here. A quick look, there are a couple of companies trying to bring this to market, but this is the first off the shelf solid state LIDAR. That's a really big deal. It also means that 4th gen LIDAR should be even cheaper and more performant.

Necessity is the mother of invention. I think a couple of these problems are overstated and if truly forced to create substitutes many non-US companies would step up to the challenge.
