That kind of historical retrospective is an article I would definitely read. As much as Coffeescript seems like a dying language when compared to where JS is today, its appeal was very strong for it to have become a default include in Rails 3.1, and to have been the primary choice for teams like Dropbox and Github [0].

OK, thanks for the clarification. C++ also has this issue, because vector<> and so forth can raise std::bad_alloc. So AFAIK basically nobody who writes kernels in C++ uses STL.

Although on second thought, I guess you can handle it because it's an exception rather than a panic. But exceptions have other downsides so people don't use them in that domain.
All of this surveillance with cameras from china articles has me highly skeptical. Can CCTV quality cameras really be used for on the fly person recognition, including determining if an identified student is 'focused' or 'dozing off'?

I keep thinking that this type of surveillance from China is all smoke and mirrors, to make it seem like they have more of a lock down than they actually do. Even if an automated person recognition/mood judgement system was 99% accurate for a public CCTV camera, that's 10 false positives per 1000 people, and consider how many people it would see a day. But I don't work in image/video processing, so idk. But I think it's harder than identifying crosswalks, fire hydrants, and storefronts.
People who drive a little slow don’t bother me, but the ones that drive 45mph on the freeway when there’s no good reason for it (traffic, etc.)? Those people piss me off. If you can’t go approximately the speed limit on the freeway when traffic conditions are good, you don’t belong on the freeway.
yeah i think that's a fair question. i think while the extreme programming community may define it as a practice with a particular set of guidelines, ultimately it's about working effectively with another programmer.

sometimes that means bucking the rules of whatever the methodology prescribes and doing what works for your team.

for example: xp people tend to suggest frequent pair rotations in order to spread knowledge (faster?). I know half my team, though advocates of pair programming, would be pretty unhappy with that given the costs of context switching.

maybe some people will point at that and say we're not really pair programming /shrug

I have sidewalk rage. But it's not really about having people walk slower. What gets me is when people have no situational awareness (on their phones, mostly), and are walking very slowly because of that. Then they tend to clump in groups and take the whole sidewalk and won't move over to let you pass, even if you're walking in the opposite direction. I think it's inconsiderate. Same for deciding to gather your whole family right in front of the airport bathroom, just to make it harder for everyone else entering and exiting. I'm always amazed how people tend to aggregate and stop in the worst places (intersections, tight spaces, in the middle rather than out of the way). Traffic patterns are really quite amazing and I think a great source of understanding human nature.
In this case, we do. Really.

> it's actually dangerous for your project to NOT be written using TypeScript today.

Wow! Bye bye Javascript! Such arrogance! In a way it always feels like Typescript developers are way beyond all those poor suckers still coding in Python, Javascript, Ruby, Coffeescript, etc.. Dynamically typed languages are DANGEROUS!!! just as C is DANGEROUS!!! I'm so happy C is still being used and not abandoned in favor of C# or so.

I know I can be way more popular preaching Typescript nowadays, it would make me really cool, smart and up to date. Not going for Typescript proves I'm mediocre at best. This is not cynic, this is real when I talk to fellow web developers.

I believe static type checking should ideally be done by the IDE, we shouldn't need an entire new language for that with all its shortcomings, issues and whatsoever. And we'll see what's left when the hype is over and the next big thing in the Javascript world comes around. At least heaps of Typescript code bases that need to be rewritten.
yeah, I agree with this. Anvil is pretty cool and definitely a worthy VB successor
Yeah, uniquely pronounceable subset of English has no vowels in it, so it's not pronounceable at all :)

Someone I know once went to take out the trash and found a perfectly good set of cooking pots left next to the trash container. She picked them up and tried to discretely take them home, only to be spotted by a neighbour... who ran down the stairs, shouting "wait, wait, I also have covers for these!". Now she has a set of perfectly good kitchen pots and a mildly embarrassing story to tell :).
More relevantly its also largely out of the power of citizens to make the transition. Especially in the US where you often have no choice in ISP, if they don't provide static IPv6 addresses theres nothing you can do.

Putting on the Wild Ass Guess hat.

I remember reading that the MCAS system uses the exact same physical contacts as the pilot's electrical trim adjustment switches.

I'm wondering if they're trying to change their software implementation to more cleanly separate the two abstractions in the code in order to avoid having to do a hardware or firmware change on the jackscrew motor controllers.

If before, the signalling was such that the signalling was handled as a sort of one off block jammed into some function somewhere, they may now have to be doing much more thorough refactoring to separate out those interfaces, and improve the traceability, testability, and readability, all with the overhead of a system likely reclassified to "catastrophic" system hazard rating.

Either way, after some number crunching of my own, I can only see going forward with MCAS reasonable if there is some way to discretely disable its' ability to signal the jackscrew motor while leaving the electronic trim available in case of erroneous MCAS activation in the future, because with the requisite torque involved to quickly actuate that control surface against potential overspeed loads exacerbated by elevator up pitch commands, you'd need the electric motors, period.

Without taking into account friction, and using the stabilizer dimensions of the 737-800, in air conditions approximate to Addis Ababa, at 350 knots, discluding extra load from elevator up, and assuming an M24 jackscrew thread, it would have taken 357 ft-lbs torque to actuate against that wind load.

That's the output of a non-trivial automotive engine to bring that down to something the non-mathematically inclined can recognize, and while theoretically may be possible to gear for from a hand crank, I'm not confident I'm going to be able to figure out a gear train that can gear reduce enough to allow anywhere near enough speed when rotated by one pilot to get that horizontal stabilizer where it needs to be in so short a length of time.

Either way, I foresee a lot of chaos, and scrutiny moving forward in the handling of this, and can only hope we can finally come to terms as a nation with why certain regulatory agencies are worth the cost of investing in if only to keep the seeds of such tragedies as happened here from ever being able to germinate again.
Hedge-fund billionaire Ray Dalio says capitalism needs urgent reform
> greatly outweighs the amount of extra work for adding types

this is such a bad excuse, imo - the "work" required to get your wheels off the ground in a JS -> TS transition is literally just changing the filename. 99% of syntax / TS errors that present themselves after that change are bugs that your code already had.
The strings only have to be unique and pronounceable to be valuable, they don't have to be uniquely pronounceable.

When scanning a list of records by eye looking for an entry or entries, it's helpful for the identifiers to be pronounceable because that allows normal people to hold more in their short term memory than they could if the strings were all gibberish and each entry ended up consuming multiple short term memory slots in the brain. Sure, there is a tiny chance of collision but that chance is still there when scanning by eye and trying to find a GUID that starts with the first few letters of the GUID you're looking for. At that point you verify you actually have the one you want. And yes, there are lots of occassions where people look at identifiers, that's why pronounceable identifiers have value.
In addition to what other commenters have written, you also have the problem that your inputs aren't clean or straightforward. People don't always answer fully truthfully, and sometimes give extraneous information that's not germane to their particular complaint. So, even if you get past the regulatory hurdles of obtaining and using data, and you have enough data to train your neural network, and you've handled the huge class imbalance issue with rare diseases, you still have to deal with the fact that the inputs to your model are subject to all kinds of bias and confounding that's associated with human-generated data.

To make this concrete: I used to do a lot of HIV testing and counseling. Whenever I'd ask someone "how often do you use condoms?" they'd 100% of the time say "every time!" When I'd then switch to asking "when was the last time you didn't use a condom?" they'd often reply along the lines of "last week."

This kind of issue happens not just with awkward questions, but also with more "objective" data like labs and medications.

- Was the antibiotic script written for a patient necessary for their condition, or was the physician tired and couldn't fend off a particularly assertive patient who was convinced antibiotics would solve their viral infection?

- Are labs randomly ordered, or ordered in a targeted fashion based on the "hunch" of a physician? If the latter, then the presence of lab result would itself be correlated with having some disease, and could thus throw off your entire model.

- How does the patient's insurance status influence the tests they have ordered? At one clinic I'm aware of, they typically order HIV/GC/Chlam screenings as a bundle, but if the patient has a PPO insurance they are also more likely to throw in a syphilis screening.

- How does patient preference factor into what gets diagnosed, ordered, and treated? You might have two early stage, equal risk breast cancer patients, one whom opts for a double mastectomy because she saw what happened to a coworker who had breast cancer and doesn't want to risk recurrences, whereas the other opts for a lumpectomy because she thinks her risks are low enough to be more conservative in treatment.

These issues are all solvable, but for AI to have a useful impact in healthcare, there's a lot more work than just throwing a bunch of data into a deep learning model.
They also have an expiration date even without impact. Same with child car seats, another popular curbside treasure.

No problem. And yeah, it’s effectively the same. You can catch panics if you really need to, but it’s certainly not idiomatic generally. (And most OS-level code makes them aborts which cannot be caught.) This is a situation where it would be... fine. Not as nice as making the api fallible from the start.
Sounds like anomaly detection would be quite useful for monitoring the expected reactions and comparing with actual outcomes.

It looks like there are a couple of disinformation campaigns against cellphone infrastructure and particularly 5G right now. One is aimed at retargeting environmentalists to fight harmless cell towers instead of bothering industry by fighting global warming. The other looks like the usual Russian campaign to slow down the tech progress of other nations. For example there was a widely shared story that a 5G test killed a flock of birds in The Hague, which was completely false (check Snopes).

Assuming a properly-maintained braking system, it makes very little difference.

>And despite dramatic horsepower increases since C/D’s 1987 unintended-acceleration test of an Audi 5000, brakes by and large can still overpower and rein in an engine roaring under full throttle. With the Camry’s throttle pinned while going 70 mph, the brakes easily overcame all 268 horsepower straining against them and stopped the car in 190 feet—that’s a foot shorter than the performance of a Ford Taurus without any gas-pedal problems and just 16 feet longer than with the Camry’s throttle closed.

In the Netherlands it's a bit complicated. The rail infrastructure company (ProRail) is subsidized (just like e.g. highways), but the national railway company (NS) that runs most of the passenger trains on it actually pays for the privilege and isn't subsidized.

But this sponsorship just makes sense as marketing for them, they want to be seen as a way to travel that can be combined with reading a book, since you can't driving a car. That is not "massive subsidy".
Isn't arbitraging off developed brands just a common contemporary playbook?
The big difference with Google and AutoML is that Google was already doing lots of machine learning in the past, just not deep learning.

With deep learning it took the transition seriously internally as well: there's a huge push to get all models to use Tensorflow - even if the transition itself is painful - and this helps the infrastructure providers as well to gather feedback.

With IBM it all started as a very successful research project, but instead of working more on the Watson system, it decided to rename dumber projects to be under the Watson umbrella as well thereby giving the impression that it's the same system that won in Jeopardy.
> I guess it comes down to whether you believe that an infection disproportionately affects old people and causes dementia.

What they're saying is that after many years of fighting the infection Alzheimer's starts to develop. Certainly people who are older have the potential to have more years of infection. This seems plausible.
It's technically correct but irrelevant to the point the article is trying to make, which is more about tolerance of users for sub-par performance than about where the goal should be set. Granted, you don't have to be relevant. There's plenty of room for making side points as long as you don't try to present them as a takedown of the OP.

I wondered why my old article was suddenly getting new comments. I guess someone saw my comment yesterday[1].

A few notes:

- This should have a [2014] tag.

- The Nokia N9 was released in 2011. There are indeed some other clocks like this now. A subset of them are explicitly copying the N9.

- To those complaining about the dial interface, you often don't have to turn the dials. Since it snaps to the nearest five minutes when you tap, you can set your alarm in two taps. You do have to spin the dial around to change a.m. to p.m. though. With the slight vibration as you turn, it feels better on a touchscreen than you might think.

- Yes Sailfish has a similar implementation. I used a Jolla Sailfish phone after my N9 until I eventually broke it. Then I used Sailfish on an Xperia X but the phone was just too big. There are no Sailfish phones that I can put in my pocket now; I'm currently using an old iPhone 5C. The vertical scrolly-dial alarm clock interface sucks.

I've used one 30-inch monitor for the past decade. if I try to use more than one monitor, I get vertigo when the mouse crosses from one monitor to the other and is in the least bit out of alignment.

I may be wrong, but you only need the extra battery capacity when towing. So it's possible that your trailer could be equipped with the extra batteries.
That is unlikely. The A320neo family currently has an order backlog of over 6000. The only airline I know that is actually pursuing cancellation is Garuda. Given that the A320neo family is really the only competitor to the 737MAX family airlines don't really have anywhere else to go.

I also doubt customers will really vote with their feet given that the number one factor when booking a ticket is price. If some people choose not to fly on them it will create supply/demand imbalances in the market which would be interesting.
