I'm not super young. And, yes, I'm discounting situations like bumping into a person in the street. I think a lot of people really struggle with admitting openly that they did something wrong. In the US, unfortunately, I think it's often seen as a sign of indecisiveness or lack of fortitude. Of course, this isn't true in every case. But I think it's probably more true than in certain other countries.
Again. I think you're drawing conclusions where there are none.

For the sake of better fitting your examples. I'll say ego isn't a gendered trait. Versus describing someone as an asshole

Having a massive ego is just a thing that some people have. It's human, and humans are flawed individuals.

Yes. There's a lot more men in computing. So there's a lot more examples of ego clashing from "men". But I'd suspect the dynamic not to change much if it was a true 50/50 split. Or even a complete reversal of the current gender bias (something like 90% men I'm told? it's hard to get accurate statistics)

For a specific citation against this theory (though I try to avoid mailing list fights). I'd point to the Libreboot project. Where the lead (and possibly only?) developer went on a personal crusade against the Free Software Foundation.

> The human body is very efficient.

Uhh, you are not using the right metric.

Yes, humans take calories, and convert it to energy at a rate of 25%. But you aren't eating coal and turning it into energy.

The ways that humans turn sunlight into energy is that the sunlight hits plants, which gets harvested by humans, which gets fed to cows, and then get harvested, prepared, and transported to stores, and THEN it is consumed by humans.

I sincerely doubt humans are more efficient than cars, on a per energy basis.

Cycling is dangerous because of cars striking and killing cyclists. Choosing to drive the mile to the grocery store is probably statistically safer but increasing the number of bikes on the road will make drivers more conscious of vulnerable road users.
"Just" passing a reference elides how clunky and annoying it is: depending on the code, it requires extra nested scopes, along with remembering to actually handle the error. Even the case of propagating the error upwards requires a bunch of annoyance:

let mut failed = Ok(())
{
let object = create_it(..., &mut failed);
// ...
} // destructor runs
failed?;

C++11 introduces a pile of tools for first-class manipulation of exceptions as values (the <exception> header), that mean that even using exceptions, the handling in a destructor can be fairly similar to your suggestion for Rust (e.g. wrap the contents of the destructor in a try/catch, and then fill in an exception_ptr& using current_exception()). The main difference is type erasure and allocation in C++.

In any case, in either language, an object storing a reference to fill in later restricts how the object can be used, since it can no longer escape from the stack frame which owns the data to which the reference points.

Human assisted electric motorcycles are fully powered when the human is not assisting them. You are of course right that popular ICE vehicles, cars and motorcycles, are much, much heavier than humans, and so have little hope to achieve similar efficiency to humans on bicycles. However, if your constraints is to go as fast as bicycles, and be as safe as bicycles, I don't understand why you wouldn't be able to be more green. Electric engines are very, very efficient at transforming electricity to mechanical power, and solar panels are more efficient at transforming solar power to electricity than the plants are at converting solar power to edible calories.
It's not bad to be good looking and charismatic, but it's nice to see they didn't make it a requirement.
amazing, is the car strapped to the outside of the rest of the ship? how does it remain so stable after the separation? by "sphere" i just meant the case it is shown inside of at the start, since the markings on the wall resemble motion tracking panels used for 3d projection. perhaps I just underestimate the precision and smoothness of the fairing separation, or am misunderstanding how the car is rigged so as to remain so stable.
Keeping your PC dust-free, and your surge protectors and electrical wiring well-organized is a must. I personally prefer surge protectors with outlet covers to ensure nothing gets in them. I have additional removable dust filters on my computers' fan intakes that can easily be removed and cleaned.

My PC fire specifically happened due to a melting Molex to SATA adapter, I learned the "Molex to SATA, lose your data" adage after this incident, and I've actually purged any such adapters from any of my builds. (They're cheaply made, as the case is.)

I was super lucky, it happened while I was nearby, and I was able to shut off the PC before it became more than a purely electrical fire. (And the computer it happened in still works!)

I think part of that is the abstraction layers.. The apple][ had a really long lifespan. The IIe had a production run of 11 years and was a slight evolution on a 7 year old design when it was released. During that time you were free to run nearly any apple][ application (excluding the IIgs ones) despite many of them being 10+ years old. Their functionality wasn't reduced and you didn't have to deal with an OS that changed under the applications and dropped support for them. People understood the target and the applications were tuned for it (similar to game consoles).

The advent of hard disks, and installable OS environments changed the model. Outside of zOS, and maybe IBMi, there simply aren't any OSs that actually have provided a fairly stable OS API over time. Even windows has decided they don't care about backwards compatibility despite the fact that for most purposes the core win32 API present in win2k provides basically everything needed to host the vast majority of modern applications. Games might be the exception but people forget the directX was an install-able component until MS decided to tie to to the OS with vista).

Actually I've wondered about this. I've noticed that, in Japan, when something bad happens, it often seems that someone is expected to appear in public and apologize often while shedding a tear or two. I've seen that happen a few different times and in the same way each time. So yeah, I've thought it might just be a custom.

A few more things:

Interviews aren't perfect. Actually, they are awful, but everything else is worse. An interview is largely what determines the level at which an offer is made. Giving a salary isn't simple when you don't know if a person would be a junior-level person or a senior-level person. Some people interview badly.

Even if value is correctly determined, it is important to realize that your value is specific to the job you are being considered for. Picture a world-famous brain surgeon deciding to become a stock trader: it may be that stock traders can be paid well and that the brain surgeon has great skills, but the skills are likely a poor fit for the task at hand. Switching to a different role can make you a beginner again.

Most people got large raises in October. If I remember right, 25% was normal. I don't know when you were offered 115K, but that matters. The market finds a price you see. We made the required adjustment.

I recently checked starting pay for new college grads at Silicon Valley companies, and 115K seemed to be in the middle of the pack. This is however just the raw number. It's more like 200K if you adjust for cost of living in a place like Florida.
Like a lot of other folks on here and probably in history, as a kid, I wanted to be an astronaut when I grew up. It's hard to put into words the feelings I experienced while watching the video, and especially the landing. For all the things going on in the world (and even in my own career writing line of business software) that make me nothing but exasperated, these moments rekindle my hope and all that sense of wonderment I used to feel every moment and every day. I'm excited to see what comes next.
The environmental angle is only one part of the story for bikes vs cars.

1. Cars make you fat. Or at least, they certainly don't help. A bicycle (or transit) commute serves double duty as a commute and as exercise.

2. Cars are damned deadly. Drivers kill an absurd number of people for absurd reasons. You'd have to be exceptionally unlucky to be killed by a bicyclist.

3. Cars are expensive. For everyone. Even electric cars. Roads don't maintain themselves and asphalt's durability doesn't have a difference between a 1 ton Tesla and a 1 ton Ford. Also, you need a lot more asphalt to handle the same capacity. And that's just the public cost.

4. Cars are still expensive. Amortize out the up front cost, the interest, excise taxes, registration fees, repairs, fluids/filters/brakes. Even electric cars have a significant annual cost.
I don't think it's a bad thing. I think a lot of the differing opinions here stem from seeing the people on screen as primarily either engineering or PR people. So I think mabbo meant "nice to see an authentic engineering type thrown in with the PR people", whereas Yetanfou thought he said "Of the engineers on screen, that guy is the only one that looks like one". They're kind of standing up for the same principle though: inclusion of people in a role that goes counter to stereotypical outward characteristics.

> Don't judge all the the US by its corrupt big cities.

> I recognize nothing in this story in my town's local police (we're about 65,000 population, and the cops are quite relaxed and civil as a default).

I was stopped without explanation in Andover, KS (population < 12000 as of 2010). Officers harassed me and threatened to arrest me when I would not allow them to search my vehicle. They claimed that they smelled pot in the car. I Was not a pot smoker and was borrowing the vehicle from an anti drug family member while mine was in the shop. The claim was bogus and they were clearly trying to intimidate me.

In a neighboring city (Wichita), police responding to a 911 call that I placed after being robbed at gunpoint played good-cop-bad-cop with me. They suspected that my roommate and I were selling pot (we weren’t) and refused to press charges on the assailant because they assumed we were withholding information. I tried to call them on it, but I was unsuccessful. They didn’t give a shit about us because of the assumptions they made coming into the situation.

FWIW, I have two friends who are cops. I do not think all cops are bad people. Your dismissal of the issue is problematic.
It's not harmless though, even if no harm was intended. My girlfriend is an engineer like me yet her experience in tech has been radically different than mine. She is constantly subjected to similar kinds of comments that imply that people like her don't fit in or belong, and it takes a real toll. It's a part of the reason why there's so few women in tech.

I would never want to censor anyone. I'm just asking people to think about what kind of effect their words can have. I have the right to say that just as much as someone has the right to comment on who does or does not look like a rocket scientist.

I know what you mean but I also agree with the OP to a certain extent. Sometimes, you've got a person who simply isn't going to accept your apology and no good will come of it. You may feel that it doesn't serve either party that one person is given an opportunity to lash out at the other. I dunno. It's subtle and depends on the situation.

> hyper-sensitivity currently found in the public sphere

That's become the standard of public conversations in the past 10-15 years. Unfortunately, I don't think it is likely to change anytime soon, since there's more and more involvement from politicians as well to make "saying the wrong thing" in public something worth being sued for. I see this happen in many different countries that claim to be "democracies" even though they have free speech as part of their principles.
You are actually technically limited if you can not collaborate.
That is literally the point of the original post.
sigh.

yet another thread completely derailed by a meaningless and frankly irrelevant comment to the topic at hand, such as the one you made here.

perhaps if we were not hypersensitive to every little detail, engineering would be a more welcoming discipline.

I came here to read comments about this amazing achievement . so how about we focus on discussing the actual topic for a change ?

I hope I'm not the only one feeling frustrated by this trend..
Velomobiles are pretty common on bike paths between cities but you rarely if ever see them in inner city traffic. They don't do well in dense traffic but they are super nice for longer distances.
Block 5?
Same. I'm working from home atm but when I worked from an office I would use the commute for pleasure and exercise. Instead of walk & train for an hour each way I biked for 40 mins each way. Actually saves me time irregardless of commute time as if I didn't do that I would have to fit in exercise another way.
Maybe, but when and how you die make a big difference. The health benefits are likely to make a difference after decades of life. The risk of dying on your commute makes a more immediate impact.

This is Spain, Denmark, and England, which might be safer than the US, but still some significant results. I'm also not sure if there are other studies that found the opposite--a systematic review would be nice.
It’s too bad the US doesn’t have a “redo” cycle. Ie changing infrastructure or rebuilding anything is almost never seriously done. It’s like we’re all locked into the same mold.
Good comment. All the people trying to derail the conversation by claiming you are derailing the conversation could have just upvoted you instead or commented "good point" and then upvoted that.
To my mind, replacing the Mobo/CPU is akin to building a new PC, but reusing some of the parts from the old one.

Because it's a costly upgrade, and you might need to buy a different type of RAM.

Adding an SSD or RAM or GPU to an existing system are relatively quick and painless.
electric car DO have a material impact on carbon emissions

Isn't the point of the article that it has little real impact, because in most cases it shifts the CO2 production from the car to the power plant? How long will it take until most energy needs in North America are met by renewables?

change our zoning laws, and encourage denser living spaces that are built for people instead of cars, but we have to recognize this will take decades.

If we wanted, we could redesign our cities for public transit and walkability in short order. The fundamental problem is that most North Americans don't want the changes you propose, and that is why our CO2 footprint is three times the world average.
We (Graphistry) recently contributed a native JS reader/writer into the Apache Arrow project, so may help both teams! We did it as legwork for our beyond-native efforts (GPU cloud streaming) and taming our JS datatypes, so similar needs here I'm guessing!

It takes more than two decades for browser implementers to recognize the need to follow specs as much as possible. The only way to replicate that without the two-decade mistake again would be a compelling toolsets available. Docker got people interested in containers, so Docker has the influence in driving the standard, although I am not really sure how many implementers will participate and willing to bend.

In general, the dominant one has to be willing to let go of its "pride" so others will "follow" to beat the dominant one. Otherwise everyone will be busy beating everyone and forget about consumers (which includes developers).
They produce software. Some of those software are used. That is enough. Skill to surpass unforgiving territory is not as important as result.

I know a lot of people who would probably bike to work if there was a pleasant bike path between their residence and their work... but that's not a reality.

Street cycling - even with bike lanes - can be terrifying, especially for those without experience. In the urban environment cars, trucks, other bicyclists, pedestrians... all operate in a very unpredictable way that frequently forces you to make snap decisions that impact your safety directly. It's chaos, and it's very intimidating.

Even if the weather cooperates and the distance is reasonable. If it is dark and raining it feels miserable and dangerous.

I totally agree that when I can bicycle to work, I arrive in a much better mood, assuming I didn't almost get killed or miss my transit connection. Commuting by motor vehicle (in my case, mostly motorcycle) builds frustration and stress. But the bicycle takes 45 minutes more each way, and the return commute - which is almost all uphill and in the dark - is just impractical in the winter.

I'd advocate we give up on the "huge suburban campus" model of offices that assumes everyone will arrive by motor vehicle that takes the freeway, and build more offices near residences, but I don't know if that kind of thing will ever happen.

That only works for extensions that want to show their content in a separate overlay layer from the page. If the extension wants to show its content inline with the page's elements, pushing the page's elements out of the way and freely flowing with the page's elements, then that doesn't exactly work.

An extension can stuff its UI within an iframe that the host page can't manipulate, but that does come with some UI limitations.
For longer trips during which you set up a more substantial camp (canoe camping - for instance) I really can't recommend a gravity filter enough. It's pretty slick to simply dip a "dirty water" bag/hang it from a tree and end up with a few liters of clean water by the time camp is set.
