I recently went to try to find a blog I'd read a couple of months ago on a site called satcom.guru about the recent 737 problems. I remembered that the blogger had written about MCAS, AoA vanes, and that he was somehow involved with satellite antennas. I punched a bunch of keywords into Google and got a bunch of recent news articles. After 3 pages of those, Google wouldn't give me any more results, and I hadn't found the page I was looking for. No luck on DDG either. It was the #2 result for my query on Bing. I can't believe I'm typing this, but I switched my default search engine to Bing.

If you don't send back crash reports and statistics to a company, you shouldn't get upset when they stop supporting your usecase or won't fix bugs you encounter.
>Copying is encouraged. Like I said, having the algorithm there is a good way to make it apparent what the code is actually going to do and the associated cost of the solution.

In 2019, having a generic implementation of the algorithm is also "a good way to make it apparent what the code is actually going to do and the associated cost of the solution" in most languages.

On top of that, it helps you have less code (easier to check, code is a liability), skip manual text-template-generated code pre-process steps, let's you code what you know you want without a context switch to copy something that you've already written for another type, and stop bugs stemming from e.g. changing things in one implementation of the same algorithm and not another (because you're forced to have 10 implementations for different types).

And copying has been an anti-pattern since the times of Algol. Except if it's replaced by the "wrong abstraction" prematurely. But nobody ever called having a generic version of an algorithm "the wrong abstraction".
Thank you. Sadly, I missed that line.

It sounds like a leak from within Facebook or another tech company on the receiving end of one of these requests.

I always thought grand jury proceedings are supposed to be secret. Maybe this explains the anonymity. I guess it is not unusual for the fact of the existence of proceedings to leak and for media to speculate? Does this have potential to negatively affect the outcome?

Here are two obvious reasons:

1. Lack of low-latency communication. The Ethiopian Airlines crash flight occurred when flightradar24 couldn’t see the plane. Two-way communication is even harder than just receiving transponder signals.

2. How, exactly, is a random Boeing employee going to help? They’re thrown into a situation in which sensors are faulty and they can’t see out the windshield.

> How's the market for VR doing in general? Is it growing or shrinking? ... Is VR dying on the vine?

VR is a fairly radically different technology and in the scheme of things it's still in its infancy. Given that, whether it's currently growing or shrinking probably isn't very meaningful, as that doesn't really say anything about VR's longer-term prospects.
So are precious metals and top soil and fossil fuels. They are taxed as ad valorem.

Here is a thought experiment:

No one is taxed again and again every year after they buy ..say(and this is hypothetical)..a pace maker that is made with a very rare and precious metal that is a limited resource.

Of course, once the metal is depleted then others can’t avail it to make new pace makers that would help others live. Does it mean that the original recipients of a life saving device must be taxed every year as their particular illness start affecting new patients.

Think of that chronic illness as lack of access to property. And the pacemaker as the home. And the precious metal used to make the pace maker as the limited resource or commodity that is land.

Early adopters have an advantage. There is nothing morally or ethically wrong with it.

What is truly wrong is the punitive financial burden brought about by the mere possession of said asset. It’s incredibly perverse and unfair.

It can be argued that even a nominal property tax is unfair unless it is ploughed back as essential services. Using it for public education is for the greater good and is a mark of a egalitarian society. To use it to funnel money into unfunded pension liabilities of public sector employees under the guidance of unions is unacceptable. To claim it as a right with entitlement is borderline thuggery.

> Now Java is showing it’s age and cross compiling is no longer the problem it once was.

I see numerous flaws in this sentence. How Java is showing it's age, language wise, comparing to eg. Go? It is fully OO, has generics and recent versions with advanced functional stuff are making Java pretty modern language on (almost) Scala level.

Regarding cross compiling, it is still the problem. If Go gives you 3-4 platforms out of the box, you can't say cross compiling is solved problem; try to work with MIPS or slightly less popular embedded platforms.
Watching movies clearly only makes sense in a social context and is therefore predictably unsuitable for VR.

However the "interactive media" market is also way overhyped, maybe similar to 3D-TVs. When the initial excitement of the user for VR wears of it feels more like a gimmick rather than an immersive experience. I know plenty of gamers who have rarely used VR goggles stuffed away in some cupboard while going back to their plain old 1080p monitor. VR will stay a small niche even in the context of gaming.
That’s not quite how it works.

Where does Windows development fit into the Go way of doing things? Is Windows a first class citizen for Go?

Python, Java, C#, C, C++ are all very well supported in Windows.

P.S. I don't have any hidden agenda with this comment - genuinely curious.
Its not about the age of the engineers but maturity. Some just dont care about quality of their work because they get paid either way. Look at Silicon Valley, "ageism" is real there. They need young devs with ideas and huge skill to bring them to life, to stay ahead of the competition. Most companies dont understand that and blindly try to copy that often because their management is not competent enough.

Reasons for current situation are plenty. World and ppl are complicated.
Yeah, i couldn't help but notice the first piece of code is an ugly "switch case". There's a python idiom for this, it's putting your functions in a dictionary and doing something like `cmds_dict.get(args.command, default)(args)`.

Although it is perfectly possible to fly an aircraft with the loss of certain instruments. And even if the plane is in a stall, there are established procedures for getting out of it that don't involve flying the plane into the ground. But the computer would need to be prepared to disregard some data in favour of other data.
There is some merit to the idea but it shouldn’t be punitive but must possess an incentive for it to be developed.

Afterall, possession of a limited resource shouldn’t create a disadvantage to the owner of said possession. That makes no logical sense wrt property and ownership rights.
>Go isn’t Java. It’s easy to bring our biases in from other languages, but when you use a language you should be buying into the philosophy, conventions, and style of the language as much as the rules of the language

Only if those make sense. "The philosophy, conventions, and style of the language" could very well be BS.

Take Java for example: the mid-2000s J2EE code with the endless abstractions, XML everywhere, patterns galore, etc, was accepted and used as the default Java "idiomatic style", but it was understood later to be cargo cult BS.

Similarly, Java didn't have Generics either pre 1.5 iirc. One could say like you now, writing without generics is part of the "philosophy, conventions, and style of the language".

But it wasn't. It was just a missing feature. Now that Java added it, nobody feels it was better before, and nobody feels like they're sacrificing some part of the "style of the language" for using it.
I've been using the internet since the mid 90's, and google since the early 00's.

Google's early minimalism and result quality made me _fanatically_ loyal. Even when google started doing some unromantic things, I stayed the course. The results were just _so good_. I scoffed at bing. Pshawed at duckduckgo, hussled an early invite to gmail, thought google wave was the new sliced bread, and generally viewed anyone who used yahoo as sadly mistaken.

In the last two years I've had so many misfire searches with multiple pages of spam that I've been driven away. Not at first, it's been a process. My first mitigation was to start searching by typing "<my query> reddit" that seemed to up my chances of getting non procedurally generated garbage content significantly.

This method started showing its cracks too so I gave duckduckgo a try. It's been better most of the time. Not as good as google use to be, but way better than google is now. The muscle memory is STILL so deep that about 50% of the time I still type <g><o><backspace><backspace><d><u><down><enter>.

Yes, I know I could set up my browser to search ddg from the url bar. My habits were forged decades ago. Besides that, I use lots of different devices, and I'd rather configure myself than every device.

It's pretty crazy to think the signal/noise ratio has gotten so bad to sway me. It's not looking good when I prognosticate forward from where we are. The protocols are still good, maybe some nerds just need to chisel out a fresh start somehow. I unironically propose we make a web ring.
> Perhaps saying "building a microservice architecture 'the right way' is a complex and subtle challenge" would capture a bit of what both of you are saying.

Supporting API versioning is not a complex or subtle challenge. It's actually a very basic requirement of a microservice architecture. It's like having to test null pointers: it requires additional work but it's still a very basic requirement if you don't want your app to blow up in your face.

Reducing lines of code is not a free exercise since you make up for it with the length of the line and there have been plenty of studies that have shown how longer lines in written text are harder to read then shorter lines.

That said, I'm not going to argue that developer will find shorter lines easier to read than longer lines but I certainly do. However it's also not as black and white as "shorter lines are always easier for me to read" either because there are some examples where it makes more sense to have it run on as one line. for example if you're calling a function who's return is only used as the input for another function. eg

fmt.Println(strings.TrimSpace(" some string "))

makes more sense (in my opinion) than

s := strings.TrimSpace(" some string ")
fmt.Println(s)

This is why the Go idiom says "what is more clear on two," rather than "use multiple lines even when it doesn't make sense."

Your calacluations are interesting but all over the place. E.g.:

So in this case distance does not matter. How does car safety compare to airplanes in terms of number of trips?

Anyway, the biggest problem is assuming that all grounded flights will be replaced by driving. Either the flight will use different aircraft or the trip is cancelled in majority of the cases.
You'll have to go even further back than that because Time Machine was invented in 2007 and described as incremental backup.
> Android was designed with security and privacy at the center.

iOS does enforces code signing to avoid app modiﬁcation since it was last signed while Android allows the code to be modiﬁed even after installation.

Under a lot of aspects I do agree Android was built as a secure by design system, but the aforementioned problem seems to be in the opposite direction, at least IMHO.
>Map filter and reduce are generic tools that can be accomplished through constructs Go already has.

They can also be accomplished through constructs Brainfuck already has. Actually any Turing complete language will do.

>Map filter and reduce are generic tools that can be accomplished through constructs Go already has. The point of Go is that most applications do not need a high level of abstraction, they are bounded problems.

map, filter and reduce are not "high levels of abstraction" any more than for or channels are.

>Therefore framing problems in terms of generic data transformations facilitated by mapping and filtering is drawing attention away from the concrete solution and making the code less clear.

The "concrete solution" being copy pasting code with a different type to filter a list for your types, and using a for loop instead of filter or map? Sounds more like Stockholm Syndrome.

While the demise of search result quality from Google, is a very relevant topic to discuss these days, I find it a bit hilarious that we're using this guy's ramblings as the basis for this debate. It includes gems like:

> Guess the bottom line and the core of my ARISTOCRATIC soul is this: people who work are fucking slaves and inferior to the aristocrat.

> Working is worthless. Creating art is superior. I do the latter. Bless me, and fuck everyone else. Fuck you. You are below. I am an aristocrat since birth, and I wish there were more aristocrats in this proletarian world. The middle class are nothing but enhanced proletarians who think the best thing in life is having money. THAT is the shit of the world. That. Not Trump...most people are the only pronlem in the world, the only thing that makes a man of wisdom puke. The only thing that has no interest at all. Everything else is good. Even pedophiles, being insane, they are interesting. Most people arent, and as such they have no logical reason to exist except to create a background on which the interesting sparklws and shies. The grotesque thing is that the backdrop, in their solipsism, believe they are the protagonists.

All interfaces are service boundaries. The only difference is whether you controll all clients and servers or not.

I spent a week in a VR headset, here's what happened
In the Bay Area, the county places restrictions on how much built area a lot can have..example: older lots(40-50 years old) that are 10k sq.ft on average usually have a 2000 sq ft dwelling.

The city and county would prohibit them from building additions or in law units or additional rentable units unless they subscribe to a limit. It’s been suggested that it should be no more than 40% of original sq footage.(in one city’s instance)

Meanwhile, new developments are in 3000 sq ft lots and have 2400-2600 sq ft built area leading to property prices from 1 million to 2 million dollars.

This leads to more new housing at high value and hence high taxes. By restricting additions for growing families or multi generational units or multiple units that can be rented, people would have to purchase from new developments.

More taxes for the state(California in this case) and developers benefit. But the high density doesn’t make infrastructure better nor does it address issues like over crowded schools(and over worked teachers)...less open space and traffic grid locks and thinned essential services.

This is my observation about high density developments. I am fond of the notion that embraces the philosophy of the Dunbar Number. Have fixed density that is comfortable..perhaps multiple fixed densities and provide infrastructure accordingly. Once the density : infrastructure ratio has been satisfied, move on and develop adjacent by creating an chain link to the previous planned development.

Have you been asleep for the past decade? Pervasive tracking and spying on consumers has been the topic of discussion even long before that.

EU countries have had data protection laws since late 90s, and the web companies have taken a collective dump on them. So now the EU has created a single law that is quite sensible (if not without flaws) which says: you can only collect the data you absolutely require to work. If you collect other data and especially if you send to third parties, you must ask the person using your site if that's ok.

Oh my, did web company do to deserve this? Oh, I don't know. Open TechCrunch and opt out of ~300 tracking, data collection and ad companies, and tell me what they have done.

Agreed. I think unfortunately most of the people outraged by this decision are completely unaware of the complexity of systems on board a modern airliner. There are other systems like the Mach trim system which adjust the trim in response to Mach speed. There are yaw dampers on aircraft with good reputations which are critical for safety of flight (e.g the concensus is the 757 will depart controlled flight without an operative yaw damper). Even on the 737 flying with an in-op yaw damper has been known to make light chop vomit inducing.

There was a sibling comment somewhere in this post that stated that airbus doesn't introduce a layer between the pilot and the aircraft. This couldn't be further from the truth (assuming normal control laws). Applying full back stick on an airbus will hold the aircraft right on the edge of a stall. Applying full left or right on the stick will neatly roll the aircraft to 60 degrees of bank. Releasing the stick at this point will roll the aircraft back to a perfect 30 banked turn in the same direction. This isn't normal behaviour by any stretch.

If anything I think Boeing are suffering from not going to fly by wire control earlier. That would have made this whole subsystem irrelevant. You'd just apply the desired behaviour in the response curves in the control software.
