I would consider the large religions to be exceptions because it is central to how most people are raised. Thus they are not something you really have much control over. You were taught from a very young age that things are in a certain way, we cannot blame a person for their upbringing.

We can, however, blame a person for deciding to believe insane conspiracy theories at a mature age.

Social media ruined the internet forever, even less than a decade ago there were websites, forums of all sorts and for all kinds of interests, now the internet for most people is just these social websites/apps which intentionally lock users inside their services as long as possible to make more money from advertising and promoted posts. Unfortunately unless something big happens to fix this issue, the internet is lost forever.
I am an ex-techno DJ and have had quite a number of bookings in the UK as well as produced a few tracks of my own too. I made the switch to Ableton years ago when I found turntables actually hampered my creativity (and I don't say this likely since I was a competent in 3 decks and beat-mixing tracks of different time signatures - which is a hard skill to learn)

Beat mixing is only a very small part of DJing and is not a creative part of the process. It's a technical skill - nothing more.

Telling people they must learn how to beat mix on turntables before learning Ableton is like saying someone must learn how to paint with oil paints before they're allowed to use Photoshop. What actually matters is what enables performers to create the best live performance.

One thing I will agree with you on is that I have more of an emotional connection with vinyl because I'm physically connecting with the playback media. I've never gotten the same emotional connection with CDs nor Ableton. However this is a tactile response and nothing to do with the music itself so the audience wouldn't experience that.
> Because on most Unix systems Apache httpd runs under the root user, any threat actor who has planted a malicious CGI script on an Apache server can use CVE-2019-0211 to take over the underlying system running the Apache httpd process, and inherently control the entire machine.

Maybe I am conflating things or mixing something up, but I was under the impression that it only used root-privileges to obtain access to restricted ports and immediately afterwords lowered its privileges lever to something sane/non-risky.

And if that is how it operates, then this exploit should not be effective.

Is that wrong? Have I been misled?

He is, for example, pointing out that history shows that the way to progress is by "lifting one another up, not keeping anyone else down" and rejecting the "I rise by pulling you down" philosophy, which is exactly the reasoning of the groups that are currently destabilizing factors in some Europan countries.

In other words - it's the opposite of hate bait.
Weren't all Java programs supposed to be "100% Pure" a while back? Whatever happened to Sun Microsystems' "100% Pure Java" [TM] Initiative?

>[...] 100% Pure Java, JavaStar, JavaPureCheck, [...] JavaSpin, HotJava, The Network Is The Computer, and JavaStation are trademarks or registered trademarks of Sun Microsystems, Inc. in the U.S. and certain other countries.

Registering purity as your trademark and insisting that all of your users rewrite every bit of their existing legacy code in your pure language, and never use or talk to any other languages ever again, always seemed like separatist linguistic supremacy to me.

Apparently, C#'s P/Invoke is an evil impure cross-language conspiracy to dilute our linguistic purity and sap our precious bodily fluids, breeding caravans of mongrel coders who will swarm across our open borders and steal our jobs. That's why JNI and NDK are only used by unpatriotic second class citizens with divided loyalties, so they don't deserve to be well supported or maintained.

>"Keep Java pure" is the message behind Sun Microsystems' 100% Pure Java initiative which has already won support from 100 developers but will lock out programs such as Visual J++. The move is an attempt on behalf of the Californian firm to maintain integrity of Java code and build awareness.

Given the number of Americans and the breadth of places they can live, you're not going to be able to generalize this sentiment. There is Poor as in lacking wealth, there is Poor as in lacking quality, and Poor as in lacking community. Which are we talking about?

There is a persistent social churn in the US. It is a side effect of what we consider progress. Progress is generally an outcome of building businesses that emerge, grow and die. Employees that are valuable to one business may not be valuable to the next, and that transition takes them from being prosperous to being poor and struggling.

One example is the shift from a primarily industrial economy to a primarily service economy. All the factory workers who provided for and raised families in the 50s - 70s came into jeopardy in the 80s-90s as US companies off-shored manufacturing. The families that could not make the transition suffered. They had to buy based on price and low cost won, in spite of the quality.

At the same time, new companies with different business models emerged and the workers of those companies prospered. Consider the semiconductor industry. In the 70s and into the 80s, the US dominated. Then, again, the technology spread globally to Europe and Asia and US fabrication facilities shut down, families were again in jeopardy.

Today, the wealth creation and prosperity is centered on technology companies, which dominate lists of the most valuable companies globally. It is likely that as in the past, these firms will ultimately give way to global competition, and their employees will need to shift.

I feel like he's right, but there's much more to understand here.

The broadcast of oversimplified messages through a human network that reacts strongly to those messages, and thus boosts the signal of those messages further, is something that bears careful consideration.
MCAS can't really be disabled.

They procedure just disables the electric motor that MCAS is using to adjust the trim down. MCAS will still be sitting there sending trim down commands that get ignored.

Problem is, that electric motor is used by the manual trim adjust buttons too, so they stop functioning too. Following the procedure results in a nose down trim that pilots have to correct by manually turning the trim wheel, and it turns out the aerodynamic forces may be too strong for that procedure.
Reviewing code mitigates a lot the risk but it does not solve everything (ex: vulnerabilities hidden in plain sight).

It also implies that you are compiling everything from source code or you trust the distribution channel of the binaries.

And you do it every time there is an update that you want to use. And you have a system that promptly alert you of vulnerabilities in libraries you use.

Unless you have a handful of modules that are already self contained, it is not practical for most teams.

>> Compared with TSMC’s 7nm process, its innovative scaling features deliver 1.8X logic density and 15% speed gain on an ARM® Cortex®-A72 core, along with superior SRAM and analog area reduction enabled by the process architecture.

For reasons similar to those often cited not to blame a single operator when they accidentally drop the production database.

It seems these sensors, and also pitot tubes, are notoriously unreliable. That is likely to be function of them being mechanical (moving parts) systems in rather unaccomodating environments, I. e. freezing cold, strong winds, etc.

In such a scenario, one has to acknowledge the shortcomings, instead of denying them and expecting unreachable perfection. That means building systems that expect failure and have enough redundancy to mitigate them.
I do not think all blame should be removed from the programmers that easily. Programmers should think about the ramification of their code and not just blindly implement bad specifications which will get people killed. Now it is possible that Boeing is such a toxic place that any disagreement is silenced, but I do not think we should automatically give the programmers a pass just because it is a specification issue.
Rounds – Episode 2 – “Victor” (2019)
I think there are many reasons, including yours definitely true at least in the cultural unconscious in England. Other possibly more important reasons for Americans - whose white populations come from a wider cultural European base - includes the pre-eminence of French culture in the C17-C18th and through the C19th. Furniture, arts, music, food, wines and all sorts of things were particularly refined there, from before and especially during the courts of King Louis at Versailles through tothe golden decade in the late 19th century in Paris. Everybody who had aspirations to be cultured would speak French: it was the lingua franca after all! It was the language of diplomacy. Aristocratic Russians spoke French rather than Russian. I suspect in the Germanic states that was also this looking towards a rich and prosperous France as well, to the extent of invading it once they gaind some sort of cohesion and became a Prussian / German state in the late C19th. And remember that more white Americans come from Germanic stock than English stock, which is very readily observable in surnames and physiognomy.

I am not a historian and I'm quite happy to be corrected, but I'm suggesting these as factors.
To the price thing:

The fact that you have to store print books is a factor in why they can be cheaper. It costs money to maintain inventory - both the physical costs associated with warehousing those books, and the opportunity costs associated with devoting space to them instead of other books you might sell more profitably.

That creates an incentive to cut costs on books that aren't moving quickly, in order to get them out of your warehouse. No such incentive exists for ebooks, so the incentive to keep on charging the sticker price in order to keep yourself out of a JC Penny's situation becomes relatively stronger.

Not to say that this isn't a valid reason to like print books. Just wanted to point out there can be legitimate economic reasons for this sort of situation.
I agree with the white-collar BS story. People work hard in Europe, and especially in cities, some need to work multiple jobs to afford a very basic life. But there's one part I disagree with:

> One thing I love about America is that people still get shit done here. One reason that Europe has very few innovative new companies created in the last 25 years is that everyone is at the coffee shop writing poetry.

I mean, you're disagreeing with yourself here: first you say that many don't sit in a coffee shop writing poetry, only to then try to make a point basing it on everyone sitting at the coffee shop writing poetry.

There's plenty of innovation in Europe - but there's also limitations that go beyond the personal limitations of people, e.g. lots of regulation and market fragmentation. And often enough, that innovation finds its way into foreign companies, where it then seems as they got shit done.

> It's not like none of us know what a white supremacist is -- we've all seen their rhetoric, have dismissed it, and no longer feel inclined to re-litigate the issue.

I actually don't think a lot of people know what a white supremacist is after seeing who has been slapped with that label in the past few years. The rhetoric around a lot of these issues is very disingenuous these days.

So while you're correct that white supremacy is an argument or philosophy that is easily dismissed, but who gets that label is very contentious indeed even though it seems like it should be straightforward.

The parent process continues to run as root.
Americans don't believe the onus is on the whole to make sure the individual lives a happy life. We just don't have the collectivist culture the Europeans have. I think this is a great thing, and is why America is where most of the innovation, cultural, and political power is.

I personally have lower taxes, high quality healthcare, and live in an awesome location, and I got all of that through an education and training. That is available to almost every American if they just put in the work.

That, to me, is not just a great thing but the morally right thing. Apply yourself and make a better future for you and your family.

To the people responding to me with the most predictable lines: poverty exists in Europe; so does homelessness; as does food insecurity. Please don't tell me that Europe is some great place where poverty doesn't exist and everyone is living great lives.

It is also possible to be sympathetic toward the most needy while not supporting collectivism. You know what the poor need most? A marketable skill. A good job. Support programs that give people the skills they need in order to compete in a globalized market. It's funny how collectivists never push that though, and instead push for more collectivism.
> That's because you're inexperienced.

That's fairly rude to the guy, and doesn't make your point any stronger.

I've worked with exceptions before, it leads to try/catch spaghetti code.

You can't possibly know instantly all the exceptions to handle for a function (given it calls other functions w/ exceptions), whereas, if it returns a fixed bunch of error codes, then you can know why that specific function failed and handle appropriately.

Doesn't help that (language) exceptions typically have awful codegen.

There's a reason nobody uses them in game-dev.
