Sublime is buggy when using poorly built (my assumption) plugins that are required to be productive.

I gave Sublime years of my fulltime attention, many, many hours of use, debugging and testing. It's not a "hype train" decision for me when VScode worked properly out of the gate, and I got no bugs (besides one syntax highlight issue recently fixed...) slowing me down.

Performance wise, Sublime opens faster, but after all the plugins I needed, it sometimes seized the entire interface up for seconds at a time, or during scrolling. This was rare, but it did happen.

Opening quickly doesn't matter if you open it's once a day. But consistent minor bugs grinds the motivation right out of you.

Edit: Sublime started an editor revolution, and it's great, but it's not perfect for everyone.

I have to say that I disagree with you. When I've worked on projects by myself, or perhaps one other developer, I've found git to be much easier to use than making manual backup-folders. There isn't really any need to use that many branches when you're only two developers, so most of the time you're just going to be using git commit, pull and push. It takes about as much time as making backups, and the ability to see exactly which lines where changed in each commit can be invaluable at times.
Wow, I haven't heard "Job for a Cowboy" since I was in high school. HN was definitely last place I would have expected the reminder.
I will say I saw my fair share of fights at shows between the typical crowd and Neo-Nazi types, who were sometimes hard to distinguish from what we called "gutter-punks".
So I don't completely share your experience, though the way you state it was how it was most of the time. Communal and caring, admittedly it seems ever group is this way toward it's in-crowd. West-coast hardcore seemed to bring out people who were looking for fights, I even got someones blood on my shoe once at a Terror show. As an innocent bystander ofcourse.

I'm about 10 years older now, and have traded in that sound wall, for a different kind. As an "adult" (Is 29 adult, probably not) I can get that same feeling listening to people like Lawrence English, and Tim Hecker, who are most assuredly not metal at all but produce much denser layers of frequency that would put any metal band to shame.
I mostly just listen to jazz though, which takes a severe bit of concentration, attacking the "ADHD" from a different angle. Forcing me to follow a phrase through, for fear of it becoming noise.
Well Python is written IN C, at least the standard version is, so I really wouldn't call it anywhere near cheating... :).

It was almost 1 a year for the first 5 years, but that is still less than 25% of the current Max-8 rate.

Edit: Max-8 had first flight in 2016 is in service since early 2017, so the crash rate over that period is roughly identical with the rate for the first 5 years of the A320. We just have a set of two closer together recently. Not enough data to form a statistical basis of course.

If we had pure one-person-one-vote democracy—no representation, no parties, no interest groups, everyone basically living a solipsistic political bubble—and some way of preventing the rich from gaining outsize control over the media in that system, then yeah, that might be a real concern. As it is I don't think their interests are at legitimate risk of being wholly—or even substantially—overlooked, unless things get really unbalanced in their favor. Assuming the golden goose is the rich, which I suppose it is or else I'm not sure what we're worried about.

[EDIT] and more to the point, the various OECD states seem to have a decent track record of not killing the golden goose, while also protecting basic human dignity and providing more benefits to their population than the economy might give them "naturally" (Ha!) Bad, yes, but then look at what there is to compare them to, historically or now.
Wow! I haven't checked in about 3 years - last I heard they had basically shrugged it off and weren't intending to change. I'll have to check this out - if correct, I'm that much happier.

He is not a whistleblower. Shame on Bloomberg for tainting the word. And he destryoed himself, any company would have thrown the book at any employee who did what he did.

He purposely leaked negative and false information of no material consequence to Linet Lopez, one of the top FUD reporters on Tesla at the time. Look up her articles over 2014 - 2017. Her full time job at the time was to trash the Tesla brand.

The "I'm not smart enough to sabotage assembly systems" remark was also proven false. His github and stackoverflow accounts were found and show his as a capable coder who would have had no trouble at all modifying the production systems he sabotaged.

He very quickly deleted both as soon as this came but the posts still exist today.

His trial is ongoing:

Interesting argument, though I think this could also support the claim that paying taxes increases personal liberty. By having a portion of income paid into the commons for the general benefit of society, this means you don't have to work directly on such government-led projects, giving you increased freedom in where you apply your labour.

I think we should be careful to look wholistically at this. Will grounding the plane cause more people to drive? Driving is so much more dangerous than flying even if there’s a MAX crash every 6 months (doubtful). How many more people will take connecting flights — the danger is in the take off and landing after all. I don’t have the answers, I’m suggesting this isn’t a straightforward decision. Humans have an amazing ability to overweight incredibly unlikely outcomes with severe consequences.

Some napkin math. 150,000 flights, each with 172 seats (based on the American Airlines 7M8 configuration, which is admittedly tight). That's 25.8 million journeys. Two accidents, let's that's ~350 deaths. Your chance of dying on any given journey is therefore 0.00135% (four nines to live).

You've got a 0.0167% chance of dying [1] for every 10,000 miles driven. Let's assume that each 7M8 journey averages 2500mi (generous, a transcontinental average). A linear projection tells me that's a 0.004175% of dying in an equivalent car ride.

You're still 3X safer on a 7M8 than you are in your car.

Now, by no means should this be taken to say the planes shouldn't be fixed or that Boeing should "get away with it." However, grounding all these planes and pushing people into a less safe form of transit may actually end up causing more harm than allowing the planes to fly with a fixed, short schedule to resolving the problem.

I assume you meant: If an airplane is as safe as average then it has PUT_NUMBER chance of having 2 incidents after 150k flights. 0.01% is actually the number I'm getting, assuming parent estimates are correct and making naive assumptions. In other words only 1 every 10 000 airplane models will have 2 incidents that early on if they are of average safety.

That is different then stating the probability of it being as safe as the average airplane, which you can't do as easily without additional modelling/priors and bayesian statistics.

Okay, this may be off-topic, but I think the specific problem mentioned in the article would be much more easily solved by Queensland University of Technology providing context for the gift--which is already expected email etiquette. No need for a massive overhaul to email infrastructure. ("Off-topic" because the anecdote is a pretext for discussing signing email.)

I once had a similar experience in real-life. I received a check via express mail with no accompanying letter or explanation, which seemed like it had to be bogus. Mindful of cashier check scams, I took it to my bank to see if it was safe to cash, and they erred on the side of caution and said, "no." But it was $600, so I cashed it anyway. And then about a month later, remembered I had closed out a poker account for that same amount.

They finally restricted access to clipboard (see https://developer.android.com/preview/privacy/data-identifie...).

> that should not happen. if it does you don't have a microservice architecture, you have a spaghetti service architecture.

A "service" is not defined principally by a code repository or communications-channel boundary (though it should have the latter and may have the former), but by a coupling boundary.

OTOH, maintaining a coupling boundary can have non-obvious pitfalls; e.g., supported message format versions can become a source of coupling--if you roll back a service to the version that can't send message format v3, but a consumer of the messages requires v3 and no longer supports consuming v2, then you have a problem.

Why would grounding the planes cause people to drive more? There's very few of them in operation, and airlines have other planes to fill the void.
I have a family trip booked next month on Southwest, who has many 737 Max 8. I'm relieved that they won't be able to use it now. I'm still expecting my flight to happen, Southwest and Boeing will have to figure out how to get the plane.

Perhaps a few ideas:

- Performance: use gRPC/protobuf instead of HTTP/OpenAPI, really not much of a reason to use HTTP/OpenAPI for internal endpoints these days

Yes - both the protocol and tooling are expensive to support, even by 90s standards. Unless you have to use it for compatibility with a service you can’t fix it’d be much better to start with a better implementation of the concept.
That's really impressive turn around times. I wish I could debug most software errors in 3 seconds or less.

That is pretty frightening about the grandfathered rules.

I don't know much about cars but I do know they have a similar thing. Suddenly because you have a car 1 year before a point in time it can be obnoxiously loud but today it wouldn't be street legal. I almost can't believe the same thing happens with planes.
Amazon has an obligation to play fairly in the marketplace at large and they don't. They operate at a loss. They shouldn't have to let anyone on their platform. But they should also play fair. As it relates to Apple, the iPhone or Android are literally the only reasonable means of accessing online services on the go. They are a platform of a higher order than Amazon and should allow others to play in their sandbox. I don't know what the right number should be — probably it should be zero. 30% is insane.
That won't happen because 3rd party apps cannot have the READ_PRIVILEGED_PHONE_STATE permission.

Maybe! Looks like there've been 350 deliveries so far [1]. Are that many planes available on short notice to replace them? Airlines generally operate with 80% load factors, it'd be hard to just re-shuffle everyone.

The grounding and reaction may also shake people's faith in air travel in general, causing them to drive more even if planes were available. Bruce Schneier has a good write-up on this effect post 9/11 too. Humans are terrible at dealing with this kind of thing.

The reality is you're much more at risk in your Uber ride to the airport than you are aboard the 7M8.

It probably should be released into public scrutiny, but not developed as open source project.
Others have this mostly covered it seems, but I'd add: it's easy to get discouraged when you start a painting, because everything looks rough, flat, and badly-proportioned. A lot of people tend to give up there, but the trick is to keep putting down more paint. Paintings by talented artists look the same as a bad sketch when they first start and only have one layer of paint down, but by the time a good-looking painting is done there are many layers of paint on it.

I suspect that this is entirely the problem. For quite a while not I've gotten the impression that all of the game state in in a single data structure.

I think a lot of RSI is related to holding tension in your body.

The more direct physical way to "fix" it is to adopt a neutral stance with your body. Let your arms hang down neutrally at your sides without using your shoulders to hold them up. Let your wrists be supported in a good position so the strings and pulleys from your forearms to your fingers function well. Support them off the sharp and low edges of the desk at a good temperature. Let your head be balanced over your neck and shoulders instead of holding it in position with your back and head muscles.

The way to exacerbate the problem is the power through it like a new runner with shitty shoes. Ignore all of it, hold tension in your neck and back and ignore the signals your body is sending. Keep your monitor off-axis. Use a shitty mouse and keyboard. Sit at a laptop for hours and get-er-done in spite of terrible ergonomics. (Do you know there are no OSHA approved laptops?)

The exacerbate case ignores your mind-body connection.

Now, it's not "all in your head" but your head is part of the problem.

How did you calculate that?

If we assume that accidents are rare and independent per mile, then the correct distribution is a Poisson distribution with a parameter of 150,000/10,000,000 = 0.015. In which case the odds of no accident should be 98.5111939603...% and the odds of one accident should be 1.47766790940...%. The odds of 2 or more accidents is 100% minus those, which is 0.0111381302891...%.

It gets even worse when you consider the fact that both crashes happened while the plane was in the air. Nearly half of all accidents happen at takeoff and landing. This makes the per mile, just flying along failures even less likely.

Excerpt from 'The Summer Day' by Mary Oliver[1]

I don't know exactly what a prayer is.
I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down
into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass,
how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields,
which is what I have been doing all day.
Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?

One of my coworkers came from a large telecom. He mentioned they had to get technology from an Israeli firm that specializes in quantum cryptography on the fiber optic line to fend of NSA and GCHQ, who are apparently worse than NSA. (iirc) the tech apparently encrypts data streams on one side and check to see if the hash is the same on the other side, if somethings off (evidence of tamper) it instantly changes the cipher.

If you have the trusted party reveal all of the pre-images, then you're just passing off the ability to decide not to reveal the pre-images to them. You could layer on the ability for all of the parties to reveal their pre-images if the third party fails to reveal them, though now you have the complication that the parties could reveal different pre-images than they gave to the third party. (Maybe one of the parties could realize the third party would defect because of a certain result that party doesn't want either, so that party could change their pre-image to avoid that result.)

The third party isn't any different than the main parties in the mix. If everyone can decide who the most trustworthy party in the mix is, you can have them reveal last.
shopify's problem can be fixed without microservices by writing modular code. The monolith should be structured as a set of libraries. I find it so strange, the way these microservice debates always assume that any codebase running in a single process is necessarily spaghetti-structured. The microservice architecture seems to mainly function as a way to impose discipline on programmers who lack self-discipline.
Do these new versions even matter at this point? We keep getting new ones while the last one barely gets past 10% adoption. Android is mess.

I agree that the definition of "evidence" they use isn't obvious, and I'm not at all familiar with where the rules for cabin electronics come from.

I'm not saying they can't do it, they obviously can (and just did.) All I'm saying is that there has to be some evidence that the crash is for a reason that implies other aircraft are affected. And obviously the standard for transport category aircraft is higher than for smaller airplanes. But it can't just be "we gotta be sure", because then you can't let anything fly at any time.

Imagine if every time someone had an accident in the same model car you own, the DOT prohibited that model car on the roads "out of an abundance of caution" until it was proven that it was not a design fault in the car. While there arguably would be an improvement in safety, it would also be incredibly disruptive.

What standard of risk would you apply? Because you have to draw the line somewhere.
