I work mainly in Python. So no I'm not at all making that assumption.

If you need slices of that jar, you never depend on the jar artifact. You depend on the source files/ targets you need. It's not hard or tricky.

You should only ever produce executable binaries. Library targets or jars that are there as deps should not ever be collected as artifacts.

Trying to store intermediate artifacts externally is bad. Don't do it.

If you try to use a system in exactly the way it says not to, you'll have problems. That's your fault though.
Just to emphasize this: the southern San Joaquin valley drains to the ocean only during extreme El Niño events. So basically there is no water left to be captured there. The only water left is north of Sacramento, and is needed to keep the SF Bay alive. Sure, the Bay could survive if a little more water was taken, but that wouldn't be enough to solve the problem.

Germany is Europe's most economically dangerous country
American politicians made a bet on India actually failing to grow. They thought that once the country is deeper debt they can bully India around for support in UN, military bases and so on. American government most certainly lost that bet.

Do not mistake government with people. American citizens are not same as government nor American government solely works in American citizen's interest. This is a powerplay in corridors you don't even know to exist. Let me give you an real world example.

Indian government might be oppressive and incompetent at governance but they are supremely good at understanding other governments. A certain Indian company wanted to import a highly sophisticated technology from European country. The laws prevented the export without the European nation approving the sale. The technology itself was very benign. It was not defense tech or anything dangerous. But those restrictions on sale were put in place at the request of American government officials few years ago.

How did the Indian company managed to get it eventually ? Indian government through a secret untraceable channel donated $5M to a charity run by the wife of an ex-American official. That official then made phone call directly to the head of European state who signed the papers in 24 hours and the sale went through. Also all this probably perfectly legal and happens all the time. I recommend you read "Clinton Cash" to know more about one such family.

> The takeaway I'm getting form all of this is that the system functionality is fine, but the operation is too obscure.

Doesn't sound like it's fine to me. In the case of the Lion Air crash, the AoA sensors were JUST REPLACED due to previous flight problems. Sounds to me like the system is fundamentally broken in some way.
Follow-up — you’ve inspired a colleague and I to do something similar! I read this, iMessaged her the link and said “we have to do this” (she has significant hardware experience. I do not.) and she’s in total agreement!

So thank you again b/c this is legit inspiring and exciting!
I did that for a long while ... and eventually decided that I preferred the alternative to being tired all the time ;)

Took a long time to realize, and of course YMMV. I had kids younger than most of my peers (~10 years early, when I was 20 ... it was all planned, perfectly on schedule), so when a few of my friends' wives became pregnant recently, I gave them all the same advice -- to give yourself time and space to learn how to integrate this new aspect into your life. I went into it trying to maintain my "me time", with side-projects, writing books, making games, reading/writing blogs, participating in online communities (/. at the time), etc ... and I burned out, so my advice to them (and to you) is to learn how to re-balance your priorities. Beer and TV will kick your ass the next day if you stay up late, and eventually it'll catch up to you. Better to go in cycles ... have some "benders" from time to time where you hang out with friends, play games, drink beer, watch TV; and then have a stretch of time that you go to bed at a reasonable (and consistent) hour, exercise, etc.
As defined in Bush 43's playbook. Disagreeing with my perspective on responding to terrorism = aiding terrorists.
There is some evidence that doesn't fit with the faulty angle of attack sensor triggering MCAS hypothesis.

With the LionAir crash, they thought there was an a problem with the AoA sensor and replaced it but problems continued. On the flight before the fatal one and "Passengers in the cabin reported heavy shaking and a smell of burnt rubber inside the cabin." (wikipedia) " The plane floor is hot. During the flight, it's never been like that" (https://news.detik.com/berita/d-4278530/kesaksian-penumpang-...) also "erroneous airspeed indications were still present"

Then with the Ethiopian flight several witnesses reported smoke and a weird sound from the plane. Also the pilots were aware of the Lionair crash and MCAS issues.

I guess they'll figure it eventually.

In general your response is stylized as over-the-top and bombastic, which generally leads me to dismiss your argument as yet another rant from the angry and incomprehensible internet denizen. In any case, the magnitude of the problem makes solutions politically quite difficult and expensive, not only from vested water interests, but in the need for grand construction projects that will necessarily involve winners and losers from stakeholders, and by those who abhor exorbitant state spending. That is, this is more than a problem of legislative and/or executive incompetence.

That said, the problem you outline is very much real. My mother runs a small rural water district in the central valley. The drought crisis was very real to the water district as their wells began to fail due to lowering of the water tables. Getting someone to dig a new and deeper well cost money the district did not have, and moreover, well diggers were in such demand that you couldn't get a new well dug for months. That said, they applied and acquired a water grant from California to improve the districts infrastructure, so new wells are being dug thanks to California grants.

The California aquifers, irrespective of current drought status, should be considered a valuable and scarce resource for many years now, as it will take a long time to restore the water table after decades of abuse. New sources of water and water storage absolutely need to be developed, and should be a top priority.

3. Instant whataboutism used, even if not appropriate or applicable. If you read about the directives of the 50 Cent Party or the old Soviet propaganda machine, this is one of the universal tools used to derail the discussion from the topic at hand.

Now could this just be normal posters using whataboutism? Sure, but we all spend a lot of time on the internet and listening to arguments, it's basically the language of the internet at this point. And you can just get a feel when something is authentic and when it is not, like a bank teller when they get a counterfeit bill and they can tell something is not right.
> avoid contributing to maintaining that ecosystem for the next generation of app entrepreneurs

This is an insult to anyone with a brain. Calling fees "contributions" as if they "maintain" anything beyond increasing shareholder value.

Don't be fooled by Apple's warm and fuzzy messaging.
> In other words, legal blackmail means it's fully legal to "cut in" someone who discovers a shady practice on part of the proceeds.

This isn't true. Cutting someone in is something that the hypothetical corrupt politician does. Blackmail is something the hypothetical journalist does. Either can be criminalized without regard to the legal treatment of the other.

And in fact, blackmail is a crime right now, and paying blackmail isn't a crime right now. There's no reason you couldn't reverse those two statuses.

> I don't see any way in which legal blackmail doesn't keep the public less informed and more in the dark.

Scott Sumner has been writing recently about how the criminalization of blackmail is good because, if blackmail were legal, the public would be kept more informed and less in the dark. (And blackmail usually involves things like homosexual or adulterous behavior that he feels the public shouldn't know about.) I tend to agree with you on this point; blackmail is an act of concealment and legalizing it should produce more, not less, concealment.
My understanding was different: in a "legal blackmail" world debt collectors would try to dig up dirt on you to aid in the collection process:

> Credit cards charge unreasonable rates because there is no collateral. If you don’t pay, they can harass you, and damage your reputation via credit reports, but mostly, as long as you don’t mind losing access to credit, you can run the no-pay strategy and it will work.

> In a legal blackmail world, that credit card company would then seek out damaging information about you, to try and get you to pay. Since you would often be unable to pay, that information would often get released. Other times, you would end up lying or stealing to get the money.
It looks like DTL (diode-transistor logic) is being used; if implemented properly, quite a few parts are needed for just a NAND gate, and a BCD decoder uses a lot of them.

> If there were no new concepts, then there wouldn't be any point in the langauge in the first place.

Not so; the same concepts can be clarified and captured in a better set of requirements, leading to better implementations of the concepts.

There can be a point in fewer concepts that are simpler.
Let me put it this way. You have a society and in your society you have an annoying Socrates. He provokes people, gets some people riled up, and gets some people to self-reflect. Some people are angry, most people are indifferent, and some people like him.

You have two choices: (1) execute Socrates, or (2) accept Socrates as part of the Miltonian "marketplace of ideas" and leave him be. I'd like to think we've started to see that (2) is a better choice than (1). Dismissing Socrates as "aggressive" (and implicitly "dangerous") is, from what I can tell, not the right move.

Maybe her heart was in the right place but that idea was doomed from the start. Waffle House and Chick-fil-a are 100% boycott proof in the south, me personally I eat at waho 3 times a week- it’s the best most consistent bang for your buck and the service is impeccable even at 4am.
I wonder why entrepreneurs don't come to Poland to build their product.

Warsaw or Wroclaw in particular are vibrant, tech-oriented cities where life is about 1/4 of SF.

If I had to bet my future on being able to building something with 1M, I would want to get 4 months instead of 1 for the money.

Of course, SF might have better investing ecosystem, but once you got the money development should be done in a more appropriate place to buy yourself more time.
> No, not quite. By itself MCAS will only trim once, I believe.

Unfortunately, we don't know this is actually true. Certainly, it's what Boeing wants us to believe, that their software is perfect in this regard. Might be completely broken. Where's the independent verification. And, allegedly, it's only supposed to trim just a little bit at each increment. If you look at the accounts, there are roller coaster-like drops. Seems to me it started nosing down really hard.

...Also, compare that to the Bible's "Tower Of Babel" story:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_Babel

The Bible's story is about human language, specifically about how human languages encompass greater degrees of abstraction over time (languages built on top of languages, abstractions built on top of abstractions).

But, when you get to a certain level of abstractions, the abstractions start to "leak". That is why there are communication difficulties in societies (people who are more educated typically speak a different language than people who are less educated; academia and lawyers speak their own language).

This is also when/where/why/how software starts to fail.

Too many levels of abstraction, and those abstractions will "leak".

Don't take my word for it, use your own logic, your own common sense and think about it...

Software problem A exists.

Management Team: "We have a problem, can you fix it?"

Programming Team: "Sure." (fixes it, but this causes problem B, which is not recognized until several weeks later)

Management Team: "Now we have this different problem, can you fix it?"

Programming Team: "Sure." (fixes it, but this cause problem A to resurface, which is not detected for several weeks...)

Management Team: "We have a problem, can you fix it?"

And the cycle repeats...

Was it the programming team's fault?

No, it was the nature of the beast called "complexity". The higher you go in abstractions (and this is especially true for AI), the more you must exercise ENGINEERING DISCIPLINE. You must be able to go BACKWARDS IN TIME (this is accomplished in programming by being able to go back to simpler programs and fully understand / test them before advancing to more complex ones, and PRESERVING THAT CHAIN OF UNDERSTANDING...).

This is probably why advanced societies destroy themselves, too much abstraction, too much "magic" (without understanding of all of the sublevels), and no one has the exact knowledge necessary to pinpoint exactly when/where/why the exact problem occurred...

But again, don't take my word for it. Use your own common sense to determine if what I'm saying has any merit...

This reinforces the notion that new tech startups don't really need to save money. They need to dominate their niche. They need to scale up fast and become the biggest player first.

You missed the point. Verizon only values cheapness over duty to their community precisely because of what I just said. They want to run a company, not a community.

The same thing happened when Yahoo was running the show, the bleed-out was just slower because they were more timid about making sweeping changes to Tumblr's ecosystem.

Instead of Yahoo or Verizon realizing that they weren't fit to run a community and divesting the company to more competent leadership, as money machines they were unable to recognize the human element behind these companies and ripped them to shreds trying to scrounge up pocket change.

Yes, but the 737 has been around since 1967, which is what the person your replying to was talking about.

Going between the 737 NG and the 737 Max would not be a big change even if they were different type ratings, but going from say some turboprop to a 737 would be a big change.

If this pilot was moving up to the 737 from smaller aircraft (which nothing says he did, its just speculation), it seems somewhat likely that he transitioned from either their retired turboprops or the Q400 fleet they have.
This is why I find it really difficult to adopt smaller products. They quite frequently get shut down.

Yup. The question is not if computer automation can be made 100% reliable. Instead, can it be reliable enough such that there are fewer accidents vs manual controls? The answer seems to be yes. So the trend is to more computer automation, not less. I think people who think we can go back to fully manual controls are living in a fantasy.

I'm intensely disappointed with The Intercept, but that's a relatively small piece of why.

I certainly recognize what you mean, they could fulfill both their journalistic and political agendas with half the editorializing and bias. I honestly can't tell whether it's a conscious choice to draw readers with a non-traditional style or just a side-effect of operating outside the usual structures of journalism, but either way it does their writing no favors. Picking up staff like Sam Biddle suggests it's the latter, and these are simply people without much capacity to restrain themselves.

But what's even more damning to me is seeing The Intercept's record on due diligence and source protection. I was sympathetic on this for a long time, since critics like Lawfare were so quick to make speculative (and technologically ludicrous) accusations. But across Juan Thompson's stories, the Reality Winner debacle, and Kiriakou and Hickman's exposure, it's become increasingly hard to understand the The Intercept as a competent player in these leagues.

I'm glad it's out there, and it's still doing some good work on investigative stories like AT&T data tapping, but I can't shake the sense that operating genuinely outside the establishment tends to bring inescapable flaws along with the good stuff.
I suggest naming it "anachronograph".
> It means throwing away common data structures like linked-lists

It does not require such; the Rust standard library even has a LinkedList (https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/collections/struct.LinkedList....).

> A C++ programmer [...] may take years to get comfortable with the borrow checker.

One of my earliest / biggest revelations when learning Rust went something like:

- Rust is stupid; I've been writing code like this in C for years, but Rust rejects it.

- ...time passes...

- Oh, I understand why Rust rejects this code now.

- OH MY GOD I'VE BEEN WRITING CODE LIKE THIS IN C FOR YEARS

A conceptual borrow checker is something that every C and C++ programmer should be running in their head for every line of code that involves references / pointers that they touch. I'm happy to let the automated algorithm provided by Rust do that for me instead.
Except smoking is actively harmful to your body. Meat is much more controversial. Actually, it's not a controversy at all to many practitioners and doctors promoting a low carb lifestyle. There is a lot of scientific evidence to support eating meat of all kinds being incredibly healthy!

So comparing eating meat to smoking seems pretty ridiculous.

Also if you look at government reports on greenhouse gas emissions animal agriculture only accounts for < 3% of U.S. emissions. It's a factor for sure, but not worth our primary focus imho.
