Not in the same way, but there definitely is in medicine. It’s less severe because you don’t finish training until you are in your thirties, so you’re good until your ... oh, fifties? Maybe sixties?

After that, you had better be visibly up to date on your field, because it will be people’s starting assumption that you are woefully behind the times. And, in fairness, it seems like many docs at that stage of their career are.
Source? I'd guess that that evidence would be inadmissible in a criminal case.
Everything made in US has become extremely expensive. As a product manufacturer you have to pay a lot more than your Asian competitors. You can open an R&D subsidiary in Asia to reduce costs, but in very short time you will see your technology has diffused and now you have even more pressure from competitors.

More bugs and design faults. Growth, innovation, effectiveness, all in a shorter time. All with increasing costs.

And even more complexity, and more pressure. iCloud leaks, empty root password, reboot by WhatsApp message, Meltdown, Spectre, 737 MAX, etc.

Cisco is in the business of selling big, black, expensive boxes that have a lot of security badges and fancy icons. People who buy such boxes don't care if they actually work, they want a big box so that they can claim they "invested in security".
Being rich and powerful is not enough.

They also want to signal that they are "stoic", nonchalant bad-assess ready to take on everything fate throws at them -- second rate caviar, aging like everybody else, the $10M condo not being just right, some competitor gaining ground, and so on.

They also wake up earlier than common folk, exercise and eat better than common folk, and so on. All of which are easy when you have personal chefs and a big entourage to take care of "details" like washing the dishes, taking the kids to school, preparing your clothes, making breakfast, and so on...

Negligent homicide is a thing in Germany and mostly used in street traffic. It is sent with up to 5 years. Two street racers have been sentenced with murder now, cause they have killed someone in a race.
I think the current discourse if far more polarized than it was maybe 5 years ago. I think your assessment is delusional if you think your country and society got saved to any degree. On the contrary.
I'm sure you can find plenty of synonyms where it's feminine.

> As an attack that aims at circumventing mutual authentication, or lack thereof, an MITM attack can succeed only when the attacker can impersonate each endpoint to their satisfaction

According to the Wikipedia definition a MITM attack must impersonate the end point to each end point. Altering the integrity of a communication or reading the contents thereof does not meet that definition. Also, every part of the Defense and Detection section of the article is specifically about encryption, particularly PKI keys and CA issued certificates.

You never said how I am wrong.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_male_speech

Whether you are a fan of those characterizations or not. It's real.
Yes, it’s changed. The changes are just more subtle than non-physicians have insight into. They’re technical details regarding -when- to treat what and for how long, which medications are first line now, etc.

I know that seems less in your face than what your example was, but... to a non-programmer, your job is identical to what it was a decade ago, too. You’re just typing a slightly different pattern words into a compiler than you did before. Turns out, people outside of a technical specialty have a pretty shitty understanding of the internal workings of that specialty.
> Suspended mass inside container fixed to plane structure, measure angle of mass relative to container?

Unfortunately not! This measures acceleration of the airframe, not gravity. Was a huge challenge in the early days of flight, and there’s a great history online that I can’t find right now. Anyway, this might be useful reading: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attitude_indicator

> That doesn't sound desirable though, is it?

Given that wing-angle-to-airflow is what matters when it comes to stalls, I’d say it’s eminently desirable?
1. I think I never seen any claim that inventing new drugs gets less expensive although I agree that's theoretically
intermittently possible untill the fact that we are running out of substances to try overcomes cost benefits of given technological breakthrough.

2. If something gets constantly more expensive it will eventually become unreasonably expensive for any chosen definition of unreasonable. Unless general wealth of human race grows faster than cost of research which doesn't look plausible.

What I'm saying in the end is that the cost will be higher if the company is involved because companies are so risk averse that they demand insanely high potential rewards to take the risk. The other thing I'm saying is that if you are going to fund reserach with drug sales but in the end will have to subsidize drug buyers from taxes (because they can't afford meds) it may be just better to fund research from taxes directly and charge for drugs only as much as their manufacturing costs as it is now in case of generics.
No they don’t. On the contrary executive pay, is often locked in and any fines come out of shareholders bottom lines. If anything, rank and file employee bonuses are the ones that will take a hit as their “bonus” compensation is not guaranteed by contract.
You sound like someone who couldn't give a sh!t about someone completely focused on a hard problem.
So there are no gay flight attendants? There isn't an overrepresentation of gay people within flight service?

I didn't say all flight attendants are gay – this is obviously not the case. But some are, and I've met quite a few of them. And if I try to average out their voice and mannerisms in my mind, it leads me to a sonic place that's close to this voice.

"You know that the sink can be easily fixed by most decent plumbers"

Find a decent plumber who isn't so busy that they will do a small job like fixing a sink - now that is the real problem.

> However you can't just say that a combat aircraft is better than an other. It highly depends on the kind of mission considered (Air defense, Close air support, Ground strike, etc...), and on the underlying warfare infrastructure (refueling tankers, AWACS, jamming vectors, etc...).

So maybe they should've published a spreadsheet instead, or an interactive, explorable chart. There are ways for effectively communicating multidimensional spaces of trade-offs, and I'm saddened that those ways are almost never used.
I have nothing to do with Basecamp, but I understand they're primarily a remote company. I think you're misunderstanding how their space is used.

Sounds like female. Plus, even when I drag the bubble to the bottom, it also sounds like female but with an additional filter on it.

When I think about it, I've never heard anyone who is genderless, I've heard only male and female voices, so I wouldn't know how to compare!

The voice itself is well done. I'd use it, but in more "bubble to the top" form.
I'd have solved it same way as the article, as they're tools I'm familiar with - feels like overkill though. How would you have managed it?
Just some log of initial negative emotions. Maybe author forgot, but Rust can raise negative emotions on the initial stage also. It takes some effort and it worth it. Maybe with Ada it's the same.
Indeed, at least in Russian the original term ("electronic calculating machine"),which was used before "computer" was adopted, was indeed feminine.
It doesn't really matter if the airspeed is slightly incorrect. What matters is that the aircraft is telling you the airspeed is unreliable, because that distracts from the actual problem you face.

Maybe what's useful is that even when you have a ton of money, you still have problems. Not just absolute ones that nobody can help (your friends and relatives dying, illness), but also problems that people who don't have a load of money think you ought to be able to do something about: kids not using the chances you give them, issues with your reputation, status compared to other rich people.
Well, to be fair, this comes at the cost of Windows (like other major desktop operating systems) being considerably less secure than Android or iOS. This tradeoff is not easy to avoid except by designing the permission model to be sane from the start, and we all know that good upfront design doesn't exist.
In Europe, some of the nightjet lines take cars as well.

I think this is a great solution. If the travelling takes too long, just do it overnight. So travel times from 9pm to 9am are actually quite convenient.

I'm currently reading this piece[0] (teaser quote: "then, in the early seventeenth century, Francis Bacon invented progress.").

Thoughts on Screen Reader Detection
Yes it all comes back to the requirement from on high to not require any retraining or recertification even though they were delivering essentially a different airplane. Trying to simulate the feel of a different plane via software is adding a huge new layer of complexity and failure risk.
They underestimated the aerodynamic instability and then decided just to give this auxiliary system total control. What possibly could go wrong? They should have gone back to the drawing board, putting of the launch and figuring out how to lift the airplane a bit higher. May have required them to lower the 737 prices for a while to stay competitive against the 320neo and may have cost them a fortune.

Feedback loops with high gain (strong engine pulling up, powerful MCAS pushing down) are difficult to control. Minor failures have out-sized impact. Adding rules to constrain the system introduces new operating modes all of them having the potential to confuse the pilots. And in this system the pilots are close to ground and have very little time to act.
Global organizational restructuring behind Oracle's layoffs
I was at an Alzheimer’s talk the other day given by a neuro to the psych, Geri, and palliative departments.

You could tell the psychs in the audience hadn’t read up on Alzheimer’s in the last couple of years, because their questions were just so damned ignorant. And when I say “ignorant” I mean “knew 99% of the relevant information, but didn’t know about the current state of knowledge regarding diagnostic testing, biomarkers, etc.”

They knew more than they knew in med school. They didn’t know enough to competently manage an Alzheimer’s patient to modern standards. They wouldn’t know how to best (accurately, efficiently) diagnose it. They wouldn’t know when to start meds. They wouldn’t know when was the best time to discontinue meds. Most of the psych in attendance were residents - they were maybe two or three years out of school.

And Alzheimer’s has barely changed at all. That’s one of the slowest changing topics in medicine.

(Not a criticism of psych. Alzheimer’s in my institution, and generally in the medical field, is owned by neuro. They just happen to be a good stand-in for “folks a couple of years out of med school” here.)
The transfer fee for 1TB seems about $5 dollars when stored in EU, Frankfurt, for bulk retrieval (24hrs). Standard retrieval is $24 dollars (12hrs). If you'd compress all your files into one of couple zip files you will pay a tiny amount for the requests.
> The problem is that MCAS doesn't run continuously - instead it runs in 10 second bursts, so it looks different from a runaway trim event that pilots had trained for

What's even worse is that a runway trim could be disabled by pulling hard on the yoke which would disable the autopilot driving the trim wheel motors. Then the wheels could manually be brought into position.

MCAS is not disabled by pulling on the yoke. Even if you set the trim wheels to the correct angle manually, MCAS would continue to move them, in increments that do not resemble a runway trim where you need to hold fast on the wheel.

So a sequence of actions commonly used by pilots to fix the runway trim is not disabling MCAS, making the pilots very confused about what's actually pointing the aircraft nose down.
Since indoor air quality/IAQ is a composite metric, I'd say that some of the interesting things to measure are:

PM2.5/PM10 - particles from combustion, exhaust, traffic (wheels against asphalt) etc
CO, NOx - from traffic exhaust
CO2 - from humans
VOC - volatile organic compounds, IIRC correlated with cancer and lots of unpleasant stuff. Comes mostly from paint and manufactured stuff (furniture etc) at home.

I'm about to make a small sensor thingee that measures these plus relative humidity (too dry at home, 30--50% should be good, we're at 10-15%), temperature (16-20 when sleeping), and for fun barometric pressure, ambient light.

For this I'm going to use a Honeywell HPMA-115S0, and IIRC BME680 and some other stuff. If interesting I can have a closer look. Battery-operated devices are a little bit of a challenge since often some of these sensors internally use a heating element for a long duration, so they consume quite a lot of power.

The Plantower looks interesting, thanks for the link.
Stoicism is gaining popularity now because it's a counter reponse to the constant stimulation we are put under.

Non stop food, entertainment, plus the feeling on not being able to have any effect on the global system. Stoicism is way to stay sane.

I believe this trend will end and we will see a regain of existencialism and romantism.
Stoicism was "originally" a philosophy of (mostly) the rich and powerful of Rome, so it's unsurprisingly compatible.

It's moderate, in that it doesn't prescribe any big external changes to your society or any particular lifestyle. It also reminds me somewhat of deism, which was a popular elite philosophy around the time of the US' founding. Secularism in all but name, with a moderate's concern for the implications of being too extreme. God exists, but let's set that aside.

This is relevant, because the dominant philosophies at the time (and always) were religious. Some of the completing philosophies mentioned, were much more prone to conflict with the religious order.

For example, to this day, the conflict between Jews of the time and "Hellenisers" is a taboo subject in religious circles. These were secular philosophies that became popular in Roman Judea, often among the more internationally minded elite, encroaching on religious monopoly of certain subjects. Epicorus (mentioned here) is a Talmudic villain, and will still get a rise out of many rabbis.

Maybe that was just an excuse to reduce labour costs? Senior people are expensive and if you can replace them with cheaper workforce, which incidentally is younger, is one way to skin a cat.

When I was an intern in a bank they were laying people off on a massive scale. They only keep critical staff and recent graduate, cause they were cheap.

It would be interesting if these kind of companies (aviation, car companies) were forced to publicly disclose the patch they are applying in order to fix a broken piece software.

Maybe then they'd be more careful because of the extra scrutiny and the potential leaking of secrets.

On the other hand, maybe then they'd patch as little as possible, although in this case, if a second patch would be required, a very hefty fine could be forced onto the company, or possibly force a full disclosure of all the relevant source code.

Maybe the Blockchain could be used for some accountability here, where hashes of the blobs of all the software in the system, including the secret one, could be used as a means to prove that only a specific section of a codebase has been altered.

Over time, I've noticed that Stoicism appeals to two broad types of people:

1. Successful people that like to think that they are entirely responsible for their own success. "I am successful because that is my nature."

2. Unsuccessful people that seek reasons outside themselves as to why they are unsuccessful. "I am unsuccessful because that is the nature of the world."
I miss working in Ada, but I don't miss the industry.

Working in SPARK Ada and Prolog early in my career taught me the importance of understanding what the "philosophy" of a language was in order to use it well. After far too much time spent trying to make them behave like a different language it clicks and then you get productive.

I think it's made me much more tolerant of new languages and more forgiving of my struggles when first learning them. Some times it can take a while to understand what idomatic programs look like in a new language, especially when it's a very differnt model to ones you have been used to.
This was my exact thought when I read the article as well. We currently have projects that are linux-specific in their build step and so even when I use a language server I actually have to run docker for it. I've patched the language server to run inside of a docker container and it works, but it's super slow and required two days of work + random fixes here and there.

WASI would give me near-native performance for this one without any additional work, and also fix issues like how file watchers don't work correctly, provided the source language has a compile-to-WASM option.

It's a massive game changer that could solve this issue after the fact. Even a 2x performance cost from native would mean a massive boost in performance and management in comparison to running it through Docker Desktop.

We’re not talking about the same thing. There are likely gay people in nearly every occupation. That you think you can tell by their voice is ignorant and prejudicial.
This is indeed a complex theme, in part because how it is linked to negative stereotypes and in part because people might not realize they are sometimes reinforcing the negativity in them.

It is not controversial to say that an obvious metalhead is indeed a metalhead.

Also I would like to point out that "(2) you see that person engaging in homosexual conduct" is not that much of a silver bullet here, as bisexual and trans people exist too :)

Also sometime it is not hard to know more someone that they know themselves, I had a couple friends that were known to be gay before they knew themselves. And also "a very obvious gay male" does not mean homosexual to many people, in the last years society and the internet became much more mature in distinguishing masculine/effeminate stereotypes from actual sexual orientations. I have no idea of what went through GP minds, but I believe that being able to separate the "very obvious gay" from a description of a sexual orientation into a personality trait can be very beneficial for society in the long term.
There are plenty of poor engineers, but this “fix” has to go through a process defined and enforced by managers. In a good process, multiple engineers would review the code, and if the office culture is good, then objections will be brought up and listened to, and if a fix is insufficient, management will understand and assign resources to make it right. None of those things depend on any one engineer or manager. They’re a culture issue. But the only people with the power to fix a broken culture is management. Engineer Alice doesn’t have that power herself.
I've noticed the scales issue happens a lot with claims about markets. A story will say something like 'Asset A plummets among bad event X' with a daily graph of the price. When you look back at the weekly or monthly graph, though, you find that it's well within normal fluctuations and isn't even a low for that period.
