Define better... Scripted languages can be run without the need for a compilation step, if you're scaling horizontally anyway, you can do nearly as well with node, and node can handle 100k+ connections per core with minimalish memory overhead. Functions are first class, functional approaches are easy and flexible, and when you're just passing bytes to another system or database, JS/Node works well.

As to interpreted languages, JS/V8 has probably seen more optimization than any other interpreted language. As to Java, you don't need a 400-500mb base image either. Rust takes much longer to develop against, as does erlang even if you're familiar with it. If you're parsing JSON into concrete objects, the overhead is often larger with compiled languages than interpreted, where JS just works. I can generally get stuff working in around 1/8 the time it takes for peers to use a compiled language to do the same.

Go is probably a better option than the three you suggested, even then more often than not, I would choose node, just because of the flexibility I get with npm and the larger community. If I, in turn need to eek more performance, or have a process that requires more compute per request, then I'll often reach for another language and/or even choose a Function as a Service wrapper.

On the MAX, this case ("take off/go around power") seems like it is one of the cases that MCAS should have an interest in protecting against. The risk from the high/forward engines causing lift and inducing a stall seems like it would be high here.

I've read conflicting information about whether MCAS would activate during TO/GA. But regardless, if you're saying that you don't want MCAS to activate, it seems like you're also saying that you want the pilot in control during a moment where the plane is so liable to stall that they invented a system to try to safeguard against it happening.

(Not a pilot.)

As a Type 1 diabetic, it's certainly easier to control one's blood sugar eating multiple, smaller meals per day. Specifically, the rate at which the food and insulin are absorbed into the system can vary by a large amount. The smaller the meal (and insulin does needed for it), the less extrme a high/lower blood sugar spike is likely to be.

I didn't say it was a publicly listed price. You could have a deal set up with the store's owner, that's fine. Having an individual deal with a cashier that results in the rest of the customers having a slightly lowered experience to the benefit of one person and it not going to the owner is the problem. If the owner is fine with the quality for the general public going down and what that does to his business, that's fine and the owners's call to make as to whether it's beneficial overall. If an employee is taking all the benefit and giving the negative consequences to the business, that's a problem.

There are portions of what schools are doing here which are perfectly normal. There are portions which may not be (I imagine public funding may preclude certain admittance options, but I'm not sure). If the school is willing to put up with now the public perceives these actions and how it affects their business (because it is a business), then that's their decision.
> I don't believe that open source needs a profit motive to exist and flourish.

The question is, who is going to write open source projects at a complexity/polish level similar to ElasticSearch. And how are they going to pay their rent?

People working on it need to pay the rent somehow.

I am suggesting that the way people paid the rent while working on open source historically in the "first phase" of internet open source (doing it on the clock at jobs for which the open source was useful for their job role, but producing the open source was not their job) -- is no longer working to get software written at the complexity level of 2019 software, as software gets much more complex requiring more people coordinating with themselves and spending more hours.

I agree, at least for the sake of argument, that "open core" is distasteful and problematic. I believe it was a response to the question of "how do we write open source and still earn a living." It may not be a satisfactory answer. I'm not sure what other answers exist. If there aren't better answers, open source will shrink, including by "open core" and such.
How good are Boeing's software engineers? They don't seem to pay very well.
I view veganism as an attempt to escape, in part, an exploitative system. I find it incredibly clear that nearly every aspect of our lives and way of living are exploitative in various ways: we exploit people economically and through warfare, we exploit the natural world around us with little concern, we exploit animals.

We are going to have to turn around and start a process of restoration soon, which is going to be far harder and will require much more organization. Exploitation is easy. Restoration is work.

As you mention, there are huge sectors of our society that work in exploitative industries, and "their perspective is shaped by the need to make a living from them", but given the difficulties that we will face in fighting our current ecological disasters, they shouldn't fear. Work will be in high demand on the other side, it will simply be different.
I 100% understand the use case for running code client-side. Personally, though, I disallow it for exactly the same reason why I don't download and execute any programs from random websites -- it presents a security risk that is unacceptable to me.

That limits functionality, of course, but so be it.

Seems like Send would have to be a built in browser functionality or maybe a plugin.
Spot on. But one of the main reasons fasting protocols “work” is that people are likely to reduce caloric intake and count macros/calories when they only eat in a tiny time window. It is difficult to eat 2k+ calories in a few hours and if you adhere to an intermittent fasting diet you will be much more likely to alter the nutritional profile and caloric intake of food you consume. It is no shocker people are noticing anecdotal improvements in bodyfat composition.

So while the actual intermittent fasting may not make much of a statistical metabolic difference if you hold caloric and macro consumption flat, in reality when people follow a fasting protocol they do not hold consumption flat.

Similarly when people follow ketogenic diets, they tend to eat far less calories. These diets tend to “work” mostly due to caloric restriction.
I agree, in my eyes it is debate between "the plane is not safe to fly by anyone"

and

"the plane is safe to fly with additional training, when given"

If the 737 MAX planes remain in the air in the USA, Boeing and US Govt are de facto saying "third world pilots clearly just don't understand how to fly our planes".

If they ground the planes, they de facto admit there is an actual safety issue.
That's a valid consideration, though I don't see how it's less applicable to medicine. What if someone who takes aspirin instead gets Reye's syndrome?
A vehicle title and a vehicle registration are separate things, though. It's entirely imaginable that an LLC may be able to own a vehicle title while still not being able to register that vehicle.
nu·tri·ent

Turmeric isn't a nutrient. I'm talking about fats, sugars, proteins, which your body hoards every bit of no matter how much is eaten in one meal or spaced out. Of course there are exceptions like if you drink a gallon of oil and you get oily diarrhea, but a normal person absorbs all the calories and energy that is available from the food they consume.

Iron has its own regulation system of absorption and excretion, based on the iron status of the individual. If only we had those checks and balances on our caloric intake!

For those interested in this subject, I recommend reading Atomic Habits. A lot of what gets credited to "willpower" (whether a success or a failure) is really a function of habits. Becoming conscious of habits, and changing triggers, stacking habits, etc, are far more powerful than "willpower".

And, as the author pointed out, "willpower" is used as an excuse for injustice. That should make us uncomfortable, not more comfortable.

Actually using Native Messaging it's not that hard. For example Mailvelope (OpenPGP browser extension) uses Native Messaging to talk to locally running GnuPG.
For what it's worth, I'm not sure that this is true. I think there is a conjunction involved -- MCAS is activated when [a] or [when flaps are up and b]. I'm not sure whether [a] covers the take off/go around case, but it seems like it might since that case produces high AoA due to the extra lift generated by the engine placement at high load.
None of this would actually work to hide from the government, just from random non-expert members of the public.

In 2019, one should be most worried about throngs of people who have less income and delusions of grandeur who can organize their groupthink online.
I know... used to do CGI with C++ apps and Perl in the nid 90's. I was being snarky, but there are a lot of tools to do web requests in lower languages, and classic CGI did work well enough in a lot of ways, though the security concerns now are huge.
The hope was for the time limit to help improve those odds, but, yes. It was also not really intended for anything truly sensitive.

The motivating case was when you're in physical proximity to the destination device, but don't have any account linkage between the two (not even messaging/email/social accounts that are connected). The original idea came from university computer labs: transferring homework between the lab computer and a personal one was a pain. I had to sign into dropbox in the browser (and 2FA), or attach it to an email, or carry around a flash drive (which wouldn't work on phones), or whatnot. Just to move the file three feet. A glanceable code with no sign-in bridged that gap.

Other use-cases include people you don't know very well (and therefore don't have an email, phone number, etc.). We demonstrated the prototype to a crowd by uploading a file with the code visible on the projector, and suddenly everyone in the crowd had the file. That was pretty cool.
Fitbit Inspire HR review: A worthy $99 investment in your health
Some things occasionally feel too verbose. For example, converting
between str and String [...] seems like something the compiler
could figure out for me. I’m sure there’s a good reason for why it
is the way it is

This in particular has a very good reason — converting from a `&str` to a `String` requires memory allocation. You don't want to start accidentally allocating memory!

See also:

- Why is it discouraged to accept a reference to a String (&String), Vec (&Vec), or Box (&Box) as a function argument? (https://stackoverflow.com/q/40006219/155423)

Having to handle every Result from every function is good; it
means the programmer has to think about what’s happening with
every function call. Sometimes it feels tedious. [...] you still
need to explicitly define a case for every type of error that may
occur.

You are not required to create a case for every type of error (although I think it's good to). You can use a trait object (`Box<dyn Error>`) if you truly don't care about the type.

See also:

- Recoverable Errors with Result (https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/book/ch09-02-recoverable-er...)

I find myself frequently writing code similar
to option.as_ref().unwrap().borrow(), which feels icky.

I can't imagine a case where this particular set of methods is needed (and as a sibling comment mentions, you can often avoid `unwrap` via pattern matching), but there is the unstable `Option::deref`, which shortens this code:

fn example(a: Option<String>) {
// Before
let b: Option<&str> = a.as_ref().map(|s| &**s);
// After
let b: Option<&str> = a.deref();
}

See also:

- `Option::deref` (https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/option/enum.Option.html#method...)
In this case, it's all about how triangles behave on a unit sphere, if one edge gets close to the length of π, or half a circumference. For Earth and Miles, r is 3963 and r * π = 12450, which is awfully close to 12446.

We are effectively looking at a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_lune here. The dihedral angle can be chosen freely. One half great circle is going directly between the antipodal points, while the other half great circle is intersected at the ratio into two edges.

So all you need to find are two antipodal points. Then any point lying on the two "small" circles defined by the ratio in either direction of the half great circle fullfills this condition. Helpful if you have bit of wiggle room with a place like Nazca.

If we take for simplicity the North and South Pole then any point at the latitude 21.25 North or South would fullfill this condition. Mecca at 21.4N would come within 15 km of that band already.
The FAA and Boeing need to investigate this, but you can't make such statistical inferences, since you simply don't have enough data points. There could be no more crashes for the next few years with those 350 planes.

The FAA and NTSB are very good at what they do, one of the very few examples of government services that work well together with industry, give them some time.

It's *not the address that matters, it's linking him to a specific LLC. If he bought his car under the same LLC that bought the house where he lives, then you can find him through the LLC.

If he used one LLC for car, another for the house, the point is moot... but the article leads me to believe they are under the same LLC, hence the initial comment.

I suppose a better question to have asked would be if there was/is any benefit for the DMV associated car+house to be purchased with an LLC rather than outright?

The paradigm shift here is that most of these things would be done in the server using traditional techniques: ajax, events, state are all handled via form submissions. The only things in this list that are really "frontend-ish" are element reuse (which, for styling purposes, is accomplished via CSS methodologies) and toggling things on/off, which in the CSS-only corners of the web is accomplished using a radio box CSS trick.

Behavioral augmentation that these days is encapsulated via componentization (e.g. tabs, carousels) is also something that has been explored to death in traditional paradigms, e.g. unobtrusive js

Henrik Joreteg (https://twitter.com/HenrikJoreteg) makes some pretty good arguments for PWAs. I've not had the chance to work on one, but when you start looking at mobile devices in particular, they do seem to be a good middle ground between the slimness of a document (web page) and the capability of a native mobile app. They're also not mutually exclusive with "no javascript" (if you do it right, which is a consideration). And they have the potential to save developers work, since you can get away with a PWA instead of native apps on 2+ platforms.
The notion of cognitive differences isn't that controversial. What's controversial is making value judgements about their utility in critical social contexts.

There isn't evidence of an "obviously superior" thought modality for most any given task or family of tasks you can name.

What's more, it is a generally accepted fact among scientists that these values exist as distributions among the population (and even this paper demonstrates non-total values). Since we generally think that DNA and extensive physical scanning shouldn't be a prerequisite for social contexts, many of these differences aren't especially meaningful for something like a hiring committee.
That stuff is really interesting, I've been digging through random reports, documents and manuals for two hours now.

Yeah, epigenetics, however that is not my point. My point is that the genetic pool is degrading and environment and culture are not going to fix that.
I don't know if both or either of them are "right". Maybe neither one is "right", they can both be "wrong" too. I'm not sure how we determine what is "right" or "wrong" here. But you asked what we expected them to do.

If by "what do you expect a company to do" you mean what is _ethical_, then what's good for their business seems like an entirely orthogonal concern to me.

If the question is: What is good for the continued viability of open source -- I honestly do not know.
This issue has killed my interest in basically all smart-home products I can find on the market, even ignoring their massive privacy issues.

The most useful 'basic' behavior I could think of for a smart home device was to check the weather and trigger my alarm earlier in bad weather or heavy traffic. I knew IFTTT was capable of running scripts then a trigger happened, checking the weather and traffic, and setting off an alarm, so it seemed obvious. I literally wanted "if this (or this), then that"!

No such luck. The basic IFTTT setup couldn't do it at all, no existing app could do it, and the developer program was invite-only. I got in after quite a long time, and even then it wasn't obvious. IFTTT wanted to treat 'check weather' as a script output exclusively, which I couldn't feed into any other system. The best I could do was be told the weather when I woke up. So, I stuck with the phone that could already do that.

That specific situation might have improved, but the general ecosystem doesn't seem much better. The only smart-home features I see available that I would use are list-making, music/media playing, and quick reference. But the features I would actually value are dense integration between apps, floating scripts like the one you describe, and non-user-triggered events to turn active tasks into passive ones. Those seem to be the features which are least available, even when they would be easy to implement.

Why Is College So Expensive?
An analogy to reconcile gender identity and the blank slate hypothesis - if we analogize our brains at birth to brand new cars, each with the exact same components and performance figures, then gender is simply the color that our cars are painted. A trans person is therefore simply a person with a blue-car brain in the biological body more usually associated with a red-car brain (or vice-versa). Our brains are all functionally equivalent, and gender is simply an associated property of the brain with no effect on form or function.

I don't personally agree with this line of reasoning (it fails to explain how people undergoing HRT often find themselves tending in personality to become more like the stereotype of their gender identity) but it does, in my view, hold water to an extent.
Donating so that you get something in exchange is fraudulent, and is different, but I don't see how it's any better. It's also possibly tax fraud, therefore theft from other members of society.
