>I guess Fortune 500's have missed that memo, including IBM own subsidiaries.

They probably did. They're late for all memos. The Fortune 500 is not were you'll go to gauge adoption. Heck, half of them still have IE6 only apps.

There are hundreds of thousands of companies, and just 500, well, Fortune 500.

Apparently you use the most established and boring development-wise of companies (Fortune 500) to prove Kotlin is not used widely, but you're OK with vaporware like Fucscia that's not even beta yet as an argument that Dart and co are.

And I bet you're wrong. Let's see in 5 years. We were on HN 10 years ago, we'll probably be here then. I'll set a reminder.

I sympathize with this perspective. I too would be livid and mortified if my family shared embarrassing photos of me in exchange for the quick dopamine hit that validation from acquaintances provides.

I'm hopeful that in the next several years there is a pushback against social media and the idea that for an experience to be valid, it must be shared. There's something to be said for having an album of photos that you pull out a couple of times a year to show a select group of others. It makes the experience much more valuable than blasting out content for everyone to see.

Makes me think that Gen Z is much wiser than the Millennials. People coming of age today are much more cautious than those who did 5-10 years ago (lots of drunken party photos on Facebook, etc). They understand the consequences of having information in the world that never goes away.
Sorry, there were a couple of typos in the reply above.

I want just to clarify more the last 2 sentences for those less familiar with mathematical jargon. The reference the the field of the complex numbers means that you can multiply 2 complex numbers, i.e. compose 2 geometric transformations consisting of scaling + rotation. You cannot multiply neither two 2-dimensional vectors nor two points.

In conclusion, in a programming language one should have different data types for points, vectors and complex numbers, because each type allows different operations and attempting to pass them as arguments to an inappropriate function should be an error.

We've always been protective of our young children's presence on social media, because of all of these concerns. (Bravo to the author for articulating them so well!)

One of the big challenges has been other people (family members, etc.) who want to take pictures of our kids or record some funny quote and post it on THEIR profiles. We as the parents don't always have control over that (and we've had to request more than once that somebody take something down they posted). It's awkward all around, and I'm not sure what the solution is other than developing manners as a society (just like people have been trained to write SPOILER ALERT before they blab about a movie in comments or whatever).
You don't need 3 dongles if you want to use wired headphones and charge at the same time. There are 3rd party adapters that plug into a lightning port and allow you to plug in a 3.5mm headphone and lightning cable for charging directly at the same time. There are cheap versions on Amazon.
I use Siri frequently throughout a typical day. From most common to least common:

- Send a text while driving, walking with my kids, etc

- Create a reminder with a specific time or place ("Hey Siri, when I get home remind me to take out the trash")

- Resume an Overcast playlist ("Hey Siri, resume Overcast tech playlist")

- Turn on/off lights (I have a couple lamps on HomeKit outlets)

- Get directions

- Set a timer

- Place a call while otherwise using my hands (I have an Apple Watch, which makes this pretty handy)

- Play music / playlist in Apple Music

- Check a sports score

Getting an Apple Watch significantly increased my usage of Siri. It's not perfect, and as I wander around the house doing things (without my phone) the connection sometimes gets tenuous. But a lot of times it is nice to not pull out my phone, and keep using my hands for whatever I was already doing.

I am actually pretty pleased with Siri's functionality to do things for me. I can't speak to the "General Information query" use case, as it has never been compelling for me--however most people say that Siri lags behind other assistants in this area.

I totally agree, I deactivated my Facebook a few years back. We use WhatsApp to share pictures and information about our baby with close friends and family, just hope the end-to-end encryption is legit. One big concern for me was the idea of Facebook having a 'shadow profile' of our daughter without our consent.

Well, the way it works in practice is that most buildings have a multi-year service agreement with either the service arm of a major manufacturer, or a third-party maintenance firm. A really large property complex would probably have a mechanic who essentially is full time at that complex. But as a practical matter, you need access to spare parts, drawings, etc, so it is hard to be a one-man show. Because of parts access and licensing, I think it would be impractical for most commercial landlords to keep a mechanic on staff.

Usually for any building there is a primary mechanic who is assigned to that site, so that he has familiarity with the quirks of the system, relationships with the landlord's staff, etc. Of course mechanics in the same office cover for and assist each other.
Exactly - Defense in depth.
This is the most revelatory news for me:

The MAX has larger engines than previous 737s, and they are in a slightly different position. As a result, the plane has a tendency to pitch its nose up. To keep that from getting out of control if pilots flying manually aren’t attentive, MCAS automatically pushes the nose down if the sensor says the nose is too high.

See: https://www.wsj.com/articles/what-you-need-to-know-about-fly...

In other words, Boeing fixed a hardware flaw with software. I am no aeronautical engineer, but this seems wrong to me. The hardware needs to be correct in and of itself. The software layer should be for enhancing the capabilities of the hardware, not for fixing fundamental flaws in hardware.
I can't believe there are no effective tools for that. Everything looks to be very low-level...

This is just Goodhart's law: "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure" - the tests and grades and community service hours were all good correlations for good performance, but once optimized for, you're getting the people who optimized for those traits, not the people who found those traits useful towards further goals.

The people who took on community service hours because it helped them understand the less fortunate and taught them skills and the value of hard work will succeed. The people who took on community service hours because they were a requirement on a resume will not. (Of course, for some definition of success - most of both groups will likely be successful at life, but I'll bet that the median, mean, and mode happiness for the latter group are higher)

Underwriting standards are definitely deteriorating and debt covenants are just crazy in some cases so in all likelihood, recoveries should be lower during this credit cycle. That said, a capital structure is a capital structure and loans are still up there.
> It's just that concluding the trim is the issue, without knowing MCAS, under high pressure and with the wrong (autopilot) conclusion already on your mind is not very likely.
Capitalism is definitely working as intended; I'm not disputing that. But there are two catches:

1. The intent of capitalism is that, over time, the free market adjusts to what is optimal. Capitalism doesn't say anything about how long that takes, about what the time constant for a certain input to the market is. While the market is responding to a transient, it operates inefficiently. (This is the entire reason, for instance, that non-manipulative high-frequency trading is profitable.) My position is that capitalism is doing what it's supposed to be doing slowly; certainly over the generations we have seen things get better for laborers. But I think we can achieve those goals faster, and speaking selfishly as someone who is not immortal, I'd like to do that.

2. The history of labor organizing is filled with government intervention removing the natural right of laborers to negotiate as participants in the market, while preserving (and perhaps creating) the right of managers to negotiate collectively under the legal form of a "corporation." Even today we have so-called "right-to-work" laws that interfere in free market negotiations between workers and managers, saying that certain private contractual agreements are invalid and cannot be negotiated. If the government stops interfering in the free market, capitalism will achieve its goal more effectively.

>When I saw the pictures that she had been posting on Facebook for years, I felt utterly embarrassed, and deeply betrayed.

Well, that's because you're 13, the age when kids turn blase and embarrassed about being kids, and of the childish things they used to like.

It's not like her mother did anything specially wrong, e.g. posting the letter to the tooth fairy, and so on.

It's only embarrassing to her because she's 13. When she's older, she will cringe that she used to be embarrassed about such a thing.

The top-level commentator isn't arguing that fines should be capped at the damages, he's arguing that they should be indexed to the damages (say, proportional to them). If I steal $50, the punishment is larger than $50, but it's determined relative to that magnitude, and in particular does is not just picked to be a fraction of my income. A $100,000 fine would be excessive punishment for stealing $50 dollars, and the top-level commentator is wondering whether a €1.5B fine is excessive in light of the fact that the entire market third-party search is much smaller than that.
>Impressive! At the time, France was the world's leading power and accomplished great things (the tallest building in the world, advances in all scientific fields, etc.).

It was pretty clear to everyone at that time that France is being eclipsed by the rising Germany next door. They got soundly defeated in 1870 and demographics coupled with economic growth rates were only going to make that disparity greater (and did).
>you were prohibited from showing non-Google ads anywhere else on the site.

Can I get a link or a quote to support that? If that is the case then yes, it crosses a line but I didn't see any in the linked article to support that view.

Edit: I reread the article and I think you are wrong. It specifically says on search pages. From the article

>In 2006, Google started to include "exclusivity clauses" in contracts which stopped publishers from placing ads from Google rivals such as Microsoft and Yahoo on search pages, the Commission said.

>From 2009, Google started replacing the exclusivity clauses with "premium placement" clauses, which meant publishers had to keep the most profitable space on their search results pages for Google's adverts and they had to request a minimum number of Google adverts.
That's not how it works. Ayurveda is not a medical pharmacy. It's a way of treating individuals. Like I said earlier, each case is different. There are no common medicines other than a few (6 or 7), which are known to work for any body type. For anything that doesn't get cured through them needs customized medicine. I am no expert either. But there are no lobbyist pharmas backing studies on Ayurveda medicine as they are like open source, free. Since you asked I know one, KSM-66, if you know anyone with depression/insomnia/high heart rate etc. they can try it. That's one of the common one of the 6 or 7 I mentioned above.
Not a really a hardware flaw--a design choice/hardware compromise so that existing 737 infrastructure could be used. The low ground clearance of a 737 is one of its main selling points. It's customers have a large investment in infrastructure around this capability--Think of things like loading ramps, luggage carts, servicing vehicles, etc.

It's edited, of course.

Since this is the 21st century and everyone's on a hair trigger for reasons to be offended, everyone in magazines like that is edited, so there's nothing particular about this author getting edited. Magazines have editors for a reason. Nobody produces the best prose on their own without any editing.

The only thing in the article that really struck me as strained was the "We are also the next generation of engineers and innovators," bit. Wouldn't be surprised that was a whole-cloth editorial insertion.
Seems like Cobra is pretty well established in this space - https://github.com/spf13/cobra

Tho admittedly it works in reverse; it generates the doc/help info rather than parsing it into an AST. It addresses the “boilerplate” issue with code gen as well, but it has a CLI to generate code that’s pretty powerful.

For instance, how does docli handle subcommands? How about global vs command specific flags? For any case beyond the basic single command CLI, it seems like there would need to be all sorts of magic and non-obvious formatting requirements on the doc string.
I don't think that's quite right: the idea is that a good union can insulate you from bad management. So you're using a different dice roll, but it's just one roll. (It is true that things are strictly worse under good management + a bad union than under good management + no union.)

Also, you usually have more influence in what your union does than what your management does. If I have to pick one of two dice to roll, I'll pick the one that's weighted in my favor, even if it sometimes comes up 1.
Do you exercise? I used to use ridiculous amounts of cannabis just so I could sleep at night. When I was quitting, tiring myself out to the point of exhaustion at the gym was about the only thing that worked. Another big thing that has contributed to my overall sleep was weaning myself off caffeine.

Also, possibly consider talking to a therapist about anxiety disorders. The self medication and your description of going to bed really resonated with me. Doing drugs just turned all that "off". I'm not a mental health professional, so take what I'm saying with a grain of salt. But anxiety was definitely a reason why I personally was self medicating so much. Either way, good luck on your journey.
Thank you for a pilot's perspective. Here's my bit of confusion though. Once you realized the stab trim was the issue, you were able to reset it and get back to normal flight. Had the problem recurred that flight, you'd probably have recognized it immediately.

In the Lion flight, the pilots realize the stab trim is off because they correct it. Once they realize that, regardless of what keeps setting the stab trim to pitch down, and even if they've forgotten there's cut-out switches, why don't they keep resetting the stab back to 0? And how do they not eventually notice the stab wheels turning?

It's almost as if the pilots weren't even aware of the stab wheels and stab indicator, and how those related to the electronic trim switch and the stabilizer itself. But I can't beleive that.

The thing that would be most helpful is knowing what their mental model of the plane was, but I'm not sure the investigation will be able to tell us that.
