Rust might eventually get to that point, and C++ itself with QT is relatively easy if you stick to the basics. But in a way, anything trying to please both higher level and lower level developers is going to have to settle for some kind of middle ground.

The best situation I can think right now, and the one I would adopt myself, is indeed PyQt. Mostly because Python makes it easy to drop the compute-heavy application code into C extensions, not because of the GUI toolkit itself.
Joining the board doesn't mean anything about adoption. They were a part of the Blu-ray group as well, and never shipped a Blu-ray drive
When the skill gap is too large and the junior is too inexperienced(and with school projects we're talking about a skill gap that could be "my first day ever programming" versus "2000+ hours over a few years") there isn't going to be collaboration going on, just mentoring and handholding. But there are things you can get out of that process too, in setting up an environment where they could get up to speed, are given appropriate forms of challenge and encouragement, and don't fall into typical student tropes of procrastinating and leaning on you while not really understanding the material.

Here is a particularly devious strategy: write simple code that you already know works - nothing too abstracted, just the most direct route to a solution you can come up with - and then add a bug to it and ask your partners for help, so that they have to read and debug your code and work really hard to understand what's going on(i.e. build up all the most fundamental programming skills). Then "discover" the fix at the last minute to get the grade, if they run out of time. Everyone gets the grade, plus you will have partners that are slightly more competent each time.

I doubt anyone here is saying people aren’t free to speak. It’s just that speech has consequences.

You yourself are being quite hypersensitive about someone having the temerity to raise the issue of harmful stereotyping, and you’re appearing to attempt to stifle the speech of those who would do that. The irony meter is pegged off the scale. I believe the comment that kicked off the long discussion was pretty measured and backed up by experience. So perhaps it’s OK to chill a bit and just let the views be aired in a relaxed way, without adding drama to the non-drama.

If you’re wondering what would happen if farm worker wages were raised, this article in The NY Times from 2011 might shed some light:

”For a typical household, a 40 percent increase in farm labor costs translates into a 3.6 percent increase in retail prices. If farm wages rose 40 percent, and this wage increase were passed on to consumers, average spending on fresh fruits and vegetables would rise about $15 a year, the cost of two movie tickets. However, for a typical seasonal farm worker, a 40 percent wage increase could raise earnings from $10,000 for 1,000 hours of work to $14,000 — lifting the wage above the federal poverty line.”

It clearly doesn't meet some definitions of science fiction but would still be almost universally called that. Try (getting in a time machine and) going to a Blockbuster Video and try to convince them that Star Wars doesn't belong in the science fiction section.

> teleological view of the Universe.

Almost all fiction is almost completely teleological. Nothing ever happens by accident in fiction, everything that happens has a human motivational cause. The characters' incredibly improbable and complicated schemes almost never fail by accident as they very likely actually would but always due to confrontation or betrayal. (See also: political narratives.) The human brain just cannot help but pay attention to sex, alliances, confrontation and betrayal.

The Force being with you by birth is a bad theme because it takes away the humanity of the people that have it. They succeed or fail in part not because of their intentions but because of magic stuff they happen to have that you cannot have. It's painful to watch.

I'm trying to do something similar by starting the other way around (first why it works, then how it works) and so far it's working for me pretty well.[1]

For reference, I'm in high school, so I don't really have the necessary math background to understand everything first try-but I think I'll be able to push through and understand it.

The top down (fast.ai) approach didn't really work for me - as I felt like I didn't really understand how/why everything works. Learning the math behind it forces you to understand.

The first stable 1.0 release of Rust was in 2015, less than three years ago. I believe GP's point is that Mozillas projects come and Mozillas projects go, that FF may be the only one that is still around after some time. Rust doesn't yet meet those criteria.

Agreed, at the very end of the feed actually, the 2 presentators didn't really know what to say about the status of the core booster. A space X employee showed up (I assume a PR or an engineer previously briefed by PR, all he had was a SpaceX polo). The guy essentially said: 'best test ever, everything went smooth yadi yadi yada, oh and also, we gotta figure out about that last booster. Otherwise, everything went perfect !"

Which is very true. But it was clearly a move to divert away the audience from that last booster. Which is understandable. it'd be a shame if everyone focused on a lost booster when the everything else was nothing short of magic like you say ;)

Congrats spaceX, guys guys are magicians.

Bingo. You think that’s bad? Try running an android tablet from 5-6 years ago.
To be perhaps slightly more accurate, it's like a major version 5.

Almost (if not) all missions include changes of some kind; the manufacturing blocks each have significant, incompatible differences in parts.

Upgrading the grid fins would be a minor version change, modifying the engine to increase its throttle depth a major one. I don't know, but it seems like there would need to be significant re-tooling for each new block, and many parts would be incompatible with previous blocks.

Yes, stating a "strongly held opinion" without explaining why is one kind of unsubstantive comment we don't need here. Adding information, like you did in this reply, makes it better. Adding name-calling, like you did above, makes it worse.
I was under the impression it was an AAC project that didn't get adoption outside the Apple ecosystem, not that it was Apple created. Do you know whether Apple was the submitter to ISO?
Not among the powerful, no. The public gets great benefit from FLOSS codecs (Opus, VPx, AV1, etc.) and containers anyone is free to implement without patent hassles (such as Matroska and the smaller variant used in WebM). Patent holders usually try to wrangle control of everyone (Apple being a part of a media codec patent-holding group meant Apple pushed those codecs and back when people cared what Apple picked that meant more power for Apple). In this respect, it's a class issue.

In 1990 IBM (in "Think" magazine, #5) said they got considerably more value from cross-licensing than fees (in other words, looking at this in terms of money is wrongheaded) because cross-licensing gives them access to ideas). So, it's the power to control one's competition at play as well. This arrangement means (as Richard Stallman pointed out in essays and talks years ago found online in https://audio-video.gnu.org/video/rms-vub-2011-02-22.ogv ) that the entire temporary monopoly one ostensibly gets from the patent system is a sham, a myth. Organizations that hold a lot of patents can always find ways to economically compel smaller patent holders into cross-licensing, thus eliminating any real value of patenting ideas for most.
Security people don't tend to ban these things. You can use Linux if you want to. You can sideload Android apps if you want to.

If you think unconsciously treating people of a different social group differently is harmful, then you need to take a good hard look at your life and understand that there really isn't much strife in your life. I see where you're coming from, but it's such a minor behavioral difference that acting like it's a big deal really seems like a gross exaggeration to me.
I notice marmot droppings and various birds and smaller rodents everywhere I've been in the Sierra Nevada, right up to the peak of Mt. Whitney at 14k feet even far about the tree-line. Those are all potential sources of pathogens even if there isn't human waste involved.

I am in my forties now, and I would conservatively observe that at least 20% of hikers and backpackers will choose "pure" and "pristine" streams or bodies of water as a great place to take a swim and wash the trail gunk off their feet or nethers. And I'd guess that at least 10% will casually ignore rules about where to relieve themselves and often do it far too close to trails, streams, and lakes.

People can get caught up in the romance of the wilderness and forget that countless other people enjoy those same spaces before and after your visit, even if you manage to find some place remote enough to actually be alone for a few hours or days. They assume the environment is more pristine than it actually is, and also underestimate their impact on it.

I can tell you firsthand that seatbelts prevent injury. I was recently in a wreck where the driver overcooked a turn in the wet on the off-ramp from the Mass Pike to 128 We hit the guard rail on the inside of the turn once or twice, and the concrete barrier on the outside of the turn twice, including head-on at the end of our spin-out. Either the driver or I or some object hurled forward between the seats folded my phone in half, which was sitting in a narrow pocket in the center console. I sprained a finger on the door handle. I would surely have hit my head more than once on the windshield and side glass had I not been belted in.

Once out of the car we could tell it was quite a wreck: the engine was pushed in and the whole front end crumpled. The front wheels were destroyed. Both sides of the back were rounded off. The doors opened with some difficulty. The smell of airbag propellant makes me think it must be similar to model rocket propellant.
Huh, that's interesting. That seems weird to me, but I suppose it could technically make things faster assuming things like checksum failures are rare. I suppose the reason might be that they can mark the socket while still in the interrupt handler, but I haven't read those parts of the kernel close enough to know if they actually do such a thing.

But either way, I would agree, if you don't want blocking then just use O_NONBLOCK, it's the intended way and it's the best way.

So… I of course had no specific idea about this, but in 2014(?) I declined recruiting pursuits from Grammarly after realizing that their developers were almost entirely managed from another hemisphere. It sounded like a very top-down, low-collaboration, anti-engineer environment. I am not at all surprised that major issues like this can and would occur in such an environment.
Which supports my point.

The advantage of squeezing more performance out of data structures is that you can package them up in standard libraries and provide that performance for potentially thousands of applications out there. Inner-loop rewrites are great but they are tied to a specific application.

What’s wrong with allowing the public to petition for a police officer to be fired?

> I'm also sure housing the police where they work would definitely no in anyway make them, their family and property, any sort of target being as everyone loves the police.

Everyone hates the police. That’s the point. It’s a lot harder to curb stomp a kid’s head if you know you’ll see his mother at the grocery store. It’s a lot harder to force a woman to blow you at a traffic stop if she’s in a book club with your wife.

If your profession requires you to have a secret lair, you’re probably a villain.

However, if the vendors on your alternate OS marketplace chose to go the same route as App Store providers, there's not much to gain. It's not so much about the OS, but about the ecosystem and the culture of this ecosystem, including online services. (As far as I do know, there's no reason why you couldn't support legacy iOS versions and hardware via the App Store. It's just not part of the predominant business model. The same is true for most commercial websites.)

Was it just lucky that the core didn’t directly impact the drone ship or was it designed to aim to the side in the event of the landing speed being too high?
Fun fact: there is a pneumatic mechanism that gives the side boosters a gently push away at the top, with the bottom attachment point separating milliseconds later. This is to cause the side boosters to fall away from the center core properly.

Here's a quick bread-first overview some of our recent projects:

* Industrial IoT - If I had to guess, most of the projects are 95% analytics, 5% command and control (i.e., configure machines and/or centrally control them) - PLCs make this suck, but as that moves to SBCs we're seeing that improve. Energy management, too. Get a lot of questions about Industry 4.0, too.

* Transportation - Mostly telematics (GPS, listening off the CAN Bus for events, etc.)

* Healthcare - RTLS, some basic analytics. C&C is unlikely due to security and use cases.

* Retail - Restock tracking, footfall traffic, etc. Ordering by voice. ("Alexa, I'd like to order 5 cases of carrots")

* Consumer IoT - Voice, energy management (Europe has some great use cases here), some analytics. C&C is big in this this space. "Alexa, set my Jenn-Air oven to 350 degrees for 25 minutes" was a recent project.

* Insurance - The 5 five all have innovation groups very intent on IoT, but I haven't see a really great use case yet.

* Smart City - Energy management, parking. We weren't involved too much, but our city's snowmelt system is another example: https://runengine.com/vroom/58-smart-city-snowmelt-monitor (The guy with the beard is one of my SAs)

https://www.hackster.io/kayakpete/snowmelt-system-monitor-be...

One last thought: I've noticed is that IoT really screws with the traditional "Enterprise Architecture" patterns. Startups are going to kill it once they figure that out, because traditional enterprise architects are lost in that space.
Asn.1 is great, and I see a lot of folks relearning the hard-earned lessons of it. The only problem is that there are no good open source implementations.
Didn't they say these boosters had already flown before?

I'm also a bit surprised the grid find are so pricey, they seem pretty small? Not that I really know how much titanium costs to buy and machine.

> They succeed or fail in part not because of their intentions but because of magic stuff they happen to have that you cannot have. It's painful to watch.

A great deal of success or failure in real life comes down to legacy, genetics and random chance, or "non-magical stuff" other people have that you cannot.
I have been a 1Password user since ~2010 and never once has it ever made an input field or login form unusable for me. (I used LastPass briefly before, but vastly preferred 1Password's native apps and more secure architecture, which was completely validated when LastPass was hacked a few years later)
Oh, I agree with you wholeheartedly! I didn't mean to say that those other people aren't also engineers and rocket scientist.

Some companies might have only let the people who look like them host the live stream. SpaceX put out their top people- young, old, white, black, male, female- and let them all be the faces of the launch. I don't know that my own company would be so brave.
Man, I'd hope so. Good engineers in this space tend to have a sense of style, IMHO.
I read somewhere that the drone ship was damaged.
Because in general they are jerks when it comes to free codecs support. The fact that they joined AOM is a major shift from their previous behavior and it most likely happened because they realized they have little choice and not because they wanted to do the right thing.
That’s funny, because I really dislike “finally,” because it isn’t much better than doing all the cleanup yourself.

The design document for Java try-with-resources says that Sun’s own programmers working on the standard Java libraries got it wrong a third of the time. I find it interesting that C#, Java and Python have each created some kind of automatic cleanup mechanism even though they already had “finally.” That suggests to me that “finally” has some big drawbacks.

I am excited to see progress in open source FPGA fitters. I've always felt those would be hard to do because without access to the performance model, it is hard to do a good job of auto-placement. So that is cool, even though the current open source tool (I forget the name...) only does a few FPGAs.
