As someone intimately familiar with japanese manufacturing (I work as an engine mechanic at an auto repair chain in the midwest) this comes as no surprise to me.

remember when you first bought a new car? the manual said an oil change was required after 400-500 miles? thats due to a japanese invention called the self clearancing piston. a certain amount of piston wall is designed to wear off to develop the final piston clearance in the engine block. this cut manufacuring times drastically for some of the most critical components in the engine.

Japanese metallurgy is also miles ahead of what US steel is in my opinion. They are more willing to put exotic metal blends in their cars than their american counterparts. For example, a regular sedan from the US might contain a hardened borg warner gearset for all models. The japanese will adjust the transmissions for nearly every model based on what the car or truck is. turbocharged all wheel drive vehicles get 15% more nickel in their gears than their front wheel drive counterparts. This leads to a car with unreal longevity and durability.

They do this with motor assemblies too. Its not uncommon to see working sets of motors in japanese cars that are 30 years old where window motors and such would easily have failed in american sedans. potted, brushed high quality motors were a fixture on practically every japanese sedan in the 90s for even boring stuff like mirror adjustment.

Those numbeo stats are not accurate nor relevant for Ethiopians. They are only numbers some tourist, expat, NGO worker would use.

>SpaceX has quite effectively shown that you can out compete bigger players with a combination of modest availability of capital, talent and out of the box thinking.

Well, it's not like NASA (or the USSR equivalent) couldn't "think out of the box".

In fact they had to, several times, to get to space/moon.

All those newer challengers (no pun intended) also benefit from a long list of technologies and problems they've already solved for them.
Yeah that thought had crossed my mind too. I'd be very very surprised if that were the case - in fact it could arguably get Microsoft in trouble since they're then circumventing security controls - however you're definitely right that they have the ability to do so if they chose to.
woah, glad I asked.

> However, pilot's mental model of the aircraft has been broken.

Exactly, and critically that "break" occurred during a very busy phase of flight, when they had a lot of stuff to think about even during "routine" operations. They didn't have a lot of attention to spare to notice the runaway trim condition.
Another problem with this data is the rise of team science and huge author lists for papers - something the Nobel prize isn't really able to deal with. Think of the human genome paper or the Higgs boson paper - both good 21st century science but lacking the easily identifiable "super scientists" the Nobel committee is looking for.

Additionally it is hard to fully evaluate the impact of scientific work fully until many years have passed since publication.

It's no wonder they prefer to find their winners in the 80s. ..

>How do you prove to the politicians that a particular scientific investment is worth it?

I don't think that's possible. The history of science is full of science that shouldn't have worked but did - think of Barry Marshall drinking Helicobacter pylori, which no-one thought to be a causative agent, or think of Norman Borlaug, who came up with shuttle breeding (grow a plant twice a year by driving seeds around, at a time when people thought that you have to let the seeds rest for a while) - but the history of science is also full of things that should have worked but didn't, we just don't hear about those (classic survivor bias).

In some cases, you can tell whether an experiment is going to work and how it's important, especially if it's incremental work - in some cases, you simply cannot predict.

Just think of how delighted G. H. Hardy was that his mathematics was kind of useless to the general public, and how useful his work is nowadays (most importantly the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium I guess?), he could not have predicted how that works out! What would he have written into his application for funding?
A general rule of thumb I follow is to explicitly type your interfaces, and infer private internals.

(I mean "interfaces" not referring to any specific language feature, but to the concept in general).
That's the excuse they provide every time. Their actual intention is to low-ball as much as they can.
Interesting. I did receive an email about unread messages from Protonmail just yesterday. I haven't used it in years and don't remember ever getting emails to my other account either. Thought it seemed fishy, I just ignored it.
Sorry to hear about your family member. I hope they're doing better now.

The fact that Plato played a part in your case shows that while anything can act as a trigger, deep philosophical ideas do seem to be a common theme (2 out of 2 on this thread).
The aircraft was serviced just the night before. Somehow, that failed.

If the company knew about this issue, I doubt they would have authorized putting the aircraft in service.

Of course, they do. Microsoft never fails to jump on other companies' bandwagons, and in this case they are imitating Google and Facebook.
Ask HN: What are your biggest challenges with Pagerduty, OpsGenie and VictorOps?
I'm currently evaluating all three solutions right now. From my preliminary eval, Splunk seems to provide more context than PD and VO. On-call scheduling and escalation features are similar. PD seems to have more advanced features, more integrations(some 2-way, which is nice), VO has better reporting. What are your greatest challenges while dealing with incidents with either these solutions? What critical features are missing in either solutions that have affected the way you deal with incidents?
This is pretty cool, I'm surprised there's no comments here on it
looks great,
I'll switch. I just disabled the telemetry in VSCode, but don't really trust Microsoft to do the right thing.

Well, Napoleon was born on a Mediterranean island (Corsica), which wasn't part of France the year he was born.

type inference is that it
makes reading code harder

I find the opposite to be the case. My syntax isn't polluted with all manner of superfluous syntactic noise like

A a = new A

How is that more readable than something like the following?

a = new A

There are edge cases, but type-inferred languages do allow you to add type annotations.

Especially wrt generics

Why is this a problem? The very essence of parametric polymorphism is that the do "the same thing" at all types. This was first shown with Reynolds' famous Abstraction Theorem [1], which has in the mean time, been generalised in many ways.

I am sickened by this philosophy. Why do we let people get away with doing horrible things because "they're just doing their job". This sort of thinking breeds more immoral actions that are easily excused.

I've actually just said no to both things. I'm pretty good at it.
With technology that is now about 40 years old. With the benefit of hindsight, the shuttle probably wasn't the ideal design--if only because it wasn't reusable as the designers hoped--but I think it's fair to say that the "right" design wouldn't be what can be built with a clean sheet of paper today.

(Arguably, existing heavy launch vehicles should just have been upgraded for man rating given that ULA's launch vehicles are pretty reliable today. But I'm not enough of an expert to know what the best alternatives to the Shuttle would have been.)
I've hit the same article limit, but my reaction was just the same as yours.

Perhaps the rest of the article would have improved my opinion of it, but at the moment it sounds like Yet Another Rich Westerner trying to solve the Third World's problems with technology, plenty of money, and not a clue of what's going on.

I've lived in a Third World country in Africa for half of my life and am often astounded by the naivete of some (especially tech-based) development schemes. Recently friends of mine were in contact with a Western philanthropist who donated $10 000 to buy laptops for a village school. He came out twice for a few days, chose the school and had the laptops shipped. The problem? The school he chose didn't have any teacher who knew how to use a computer. The next teacher who did lived ~20km away... But of course the philanthropist ignored every piece of advice given him by the people on the ground, just to become upset when, six months later, he realized that his grand scheme wasn't working out.

He is not alone. Projects like these sound fantastic, thought out in a comfortable suburban home in America, but all too often they utterly ignore reality. The reality is that in rural areas here an Internet connection is not something you can take for granted (though this is rapidly improving), electricity is unreliable or completely absent, and an extreme climate and all-permeating dust play havoc with electronics. And that is before you consider social problems like rampant thievery.

Education is one of the most important and urgent areas for development, and we do need to do a lot more than we are right now. But to think that computers can magically solve the problems we have is just another typical case of Silicon Valley Syndrome - believing that social problems can be solved with technology. Yet, the most successful development projects I know all have a few things in common: they work with people, they work with what's there, and they work in the long term. There is no silver bullet.

Running arbitrary code may be needed if you want to upgrade an existing installation in-place. Imagine that you are upgrading to a new major version and want to migrate the existing configuration to a new format.

This need not be an automatic action, though; you might choose to postpone the migration, and offer a separate tool for the user to run.

This prevents any packages from depending on such a package, though: they can no longer be automatically installed, because their dependency cannot, too.

This changes the concept of package management seriously enough.
Like you, I tried several tools for taking notes (work or personnal). However, I didn't succeed using them during a long time.

So I switched to little notebook with one pen that is smooth to use. For now I find (quite) easily my notes, but in the future I'll probable need an easy why to search and find notes.

Usinge Markdown might be the newt thing I'll do. It's super easy to get perfect/clean notes with it.

So you might have a try with a notebook and see if it's enought for you.

All my note are "simple", they are only ideas or TODOs. But if you want to keep some code/dev/scripts notes you should concider markdown tool.

It’s important to recognize access to information does not equate to education. No matter what sophisticated tools you have at your disposal, you still need an educator to do the job of teaching, to separate the wheat from the chaff, and to craft some kind of coherent picture that synthesizes connections between what’s being learned. Niel Postman’s Technopoly puts forward a pretty good argument for why we can’t simply replace teachers with sophisticated tools and hope the information sticks. Technology is a great boon and enabler in the field of education, but’s it no replacement for teachers or communities, which remain integral to the pedagogical process.

The same logic, at its extreme would suggest you could replace parents with sophisticated tooling and come out with children that are just as well developed and ready to contribute to society in meaningful ways.
"got caught off guard by ACLs setting things public that they thought were private."

A lot of these stories are written in this way where Amazon's ACL's "set thing public" when the user wanted things private.

To add a little reality here:

Amazon defaults are generally to private.

You get no network ingress to an instance by default (zero).
You have no username/password login by default (zero) - you need to use SSH with a public key.
S3 buckets are resource owner and aws account owner only to start.

My one issue - I wish they made buckets with no permissions by default, make the account owner add themselves or resource owner add themselves.

What is happening is despite LOTS of docs out there, users find it easier during development, quick integration to do things like WORLD readable. This is BY FAR the most common issue, USERS (not amazon) setting things to totally public by choice.

I've had folks tell say:

* It will only be public for a few days / short period of time while we work out X (once everything is used to public access it actually is HARDER to switch to secure access).

* I can't be bothered to learn IAM permissions (one of the most useful features AWS has for example relative to a place like google).

I like this new thing not because amazon is at fault, but because users are super lazy, and now some annoying "admin" can block them from making things totally public when they want to share with a partner, separate project etc.

So a good feature.

Now make S3 bucket's with NO permissions by default (not even creator / account owner) so folks can learn a bit of AWS right away to get going.

Dear people who are in charge of hiring processes (there will be some of you in this audience, I'm sure):

External recruiters are generally expensive and bad. By using them, you reduce the quality of your reputation. They charge 25% or more of the first year salary per placement.

If you are big enough to afford it -- that is, you're making more than four hires a year -- use an actual employee as your recruiter. Make sure that they are familiar with your company's actual culture and business practices, and can speak authoritatively about HR policies. Pay them a regular salary and benefits, so that they have no incentive to lie. Pay bonuses based on the performance of the employees they hire after those employees have been working for you for a year, so that they have an incentive to get high-quality people in.

The recruiter is the first face of your company. That experience should be considerate, consistent, responsive, and above all positive. An unsuccessful candidate should leave the experience thinking that your company would still be a pretty good place to work in the future, and maybe they should recommend a friend who would be a better fit.
Ask HN: What do you think about when you “zone out”?
I started paying attention to my “zone outs” a lot this week, taking note of how I use them.

I realized that for me, I use them as a form of rehearsal. These rehearsals tend to take the shape of a conversation (verbal or written) where I’m sorting through some difficult concept. Usually these conversations are with someone close to me (my wife, co-founder, mother).

As an example, yesterday I found a lump on my dog’s leg. I started rehearsing (while zoning out on a walk) different conversations I might have with the vet on Monday when she’s examined. Sometimes they were positive, sometimes they were dark. Either way, I was clearly mentally preparing myself for multiple outcomes.

How do you use your daydreams / “zone outs”?
On the upside I was pretty sure this was going to be a Rust to the rescue opinion piece before I clicked on it. On the downside this is a Rust to the rescue opinion piece though it does also mention swift for memory safety so that is nice. Nothing against the language, but it has been around a few years and I would like to see something more concrete than opinions. Give me a write up about a vulnerability in the wild fixed with the new language.

Something new at any rate I see plenty of opinion piece espousing this or that new language PR reading points, but most fall into fluff.
That's the case when you think the measurement noise is only positive. But are there kinds of noise that reduce your benchmark time?

On one hand, I believe a piece of code has a true benchmark time, but we only measure noisy versions that are skewed positive due to multitasking noise. On the other hand, it seems important to make benchmark measurements in the context of the whole system. If A beats B in the best case (unloaded system), but doesn't win in the average case (taking the context into account), then that's important information.
How many developers are actually versed enough in C/C++ to deal with it?

Is re-writing everything in Rust really the answer?
I don't know what about orangutans impresses me, but when I watch a video of an orangutan, it never feels like I'm watching a video of "an animal". There is something very "human" about orangutans, even more than chimps, bonobos or gorillas.
CERN is at the border between France and Switzerland. As such it has two official addresses, one in France and one in Switzerland. Most of the loops are in France. This is important for the European part of the funding. Practically, scientists do not care.

> The elevators still have some authority, you don't have to wind it from end to end to regain control.

If you're at a low altitude and managing other problems will you have enough time to even recognize the problem and then wind the cranks and recover before you hit the ground?

> Also the full range of mechanical motion is only available via the trim wheel, the electronic trim doesn't drive it to either extreme (although it can move it back to the centre from an extreme).

Can MCAS drive the trim full down? What I've read suggests that if you give it time, it can.
It's not fair to pin this on the ambiguous collective "developers." The real issue is likely that there is simply too much inertia behind C and C++ for systems and performance-critical programming. There are other languages like Rust that provide a technical alternative but not necessarily a cultural one. Obviously, the pain of severe software defects is not yet high enough to warrant switching to memory-safe systems programming languages.

FP vs. OOP: Choose Two by Brian Goetz
I was working on a similar system for more general reviews and found that compared to fraudulent positive reviews negative reviews have a lot less incentives except against public figures and tend to be more honest as a result. With that said, protecting both the submitter and the accused of defamation can be accomplished partially with community moderation and aggressive redaction of as many identifying names as possible - companies are, however, not exempt (in fact, the primary key that I used for complaints). And to avoid unfair hive mind viral hits on characters, any review beyond a certain community reputation needs to be reviewed for validity and made clear to the community that the story is an allegation. Furthermore, I wanted to encourage more of a dialogue and similar to Yelp reviews, so if you are given a negative reputation you must be provided a means to defend yourself - and the status of defense must be made clear as well. For example, a statement can be made public, private (only to the person that originally wrote the review), “no comment,” or no response. If someone didn’t originally provide their contact info out of fears, the community should be made clear that it’s anonymous and will always remain so. However, protecting the information at your discretion until a certain reputation has been reached should provide more credibility as well. The hard part was trying to figure out how to contact the accused at a corporation for low-touch interactions because we tend to not have the same person repeatedly (hence why normally I just used the company, not individuals).
