Your concern isn't completely unwarranted but in practice things generally turn out fine. Each time you hit a >>=, you are conceptually yielding control to the monadic datatype. You pass it a function, which captures some closure, which your compiler presumably optimizes to save off only the data that you may need if your function gets invoked (though over-capturing definitely can happen). Really it's a reference to the closure and maybe the function that end up sitting on the stack. The monadic datatype itself is responsible for making sure you don't create too many frames. There are different approaches they can take to accomplish this, including everything from trampolining to iterating with tail calls to imperative loops. It does occasionally happen that some datatype simply shirks its responsibility to be stack-safe. Anyway, overall, there are solutions to avoid blowing up the stack, and they generally get implemented, but occasionally it does become an issue.

Well, not quite: if they wanted it to protect against stalls at very low altitude, it would be operational with flaps extended.
Shin splints is the classic injury for enthusiastic people who see aerobic improvements that outpace the strengthening of muscle, tendon and bone. Shin splints is almost unheard of amongst experienced runners.

It's fantastic that squats helped you, but if you are primarily looking to improve your running then months of training at a lower intensity, to avoid the shin splints, is much more productive than stop-start training resulting from the need to let your injury heal.
I don't think simply being in the room with someone committing a crime, even knowing that's what they're doing, doesn't give you accomplice liability. I think you have to assist or encourage. You do not generally have an affirmative responsibility to prevent people from committing crimes.

edit: but see below
You’re missing the point of why MCAS was implemented in the first place - for type certification & to avoid retraining.

Essentially it was an emulation layer to make what is effectively a new plane behave like an old plane. And now 300+ people are dead.
I have no idea - I'm not usually one to espouse political ideas unless wholly relevant to a topic at hand. It seems that a band of HN users are politically adverse - which is sad, since capital rules our lives and society, and merely ignoring its flaws does nothing to abate them.
> in my OPINION, civilian control of the military is one of the reasons we haven't won a war since WWII

So....you're saying that we should be ruled by a military junta?

You're aware that civilians have controlled the US military for as long as the US has been an independent country, right?
Back then it made literal sense. Now it's as symbolic as a floppy disk icon.
Reread their post. They said their action was bad enough for them to be sent home. Not that it was a bad decision for them to be sent home.
Yeah but that's neglecting the time it takes to plug and unplug your car every night/morning. I'd say it takes about 15-30 sec for each action. If you do this once per day to make sure you're topped off, and you drive 30 miles per day, you get about 50 miles of charge per minute of your time.

A typical gas pump fills at 9 gallons per minute, plus 2-3 minutes to pull into the pump, swipe your credit card, etc. If you have a 15 gallon tank and get 30 mpg, that's about 5 minutes for about 450 miles, or about 90 miles per minute of your time.

Tesla should start selling their robot charging snake thing to aleviate this.
The integrity of engineering excellence should never be sacrificed for profit and/or conveniency in places where it involves human lives. Realistically and pragmatically speaking, you only ever get to have just one single shot at establishing and maintaining that kind of life/death level of trust. Fuck it up, and you're gone- quite literally, mind you.

This is some Challenger O-ring type of shitshow. Accidents are one thing; incompetency or, worse yet, callous indifference is absolutely unacceptable.
The problem with dealing with a departure stall is they’re extremely deadly, happen faster than a person can react to, and are in general unrecoverable all because of the lack of altitude. If it was the case that you could easily deal with a departure stall in the 737-MAX then they would have seen no need to implement MCAS.
Tesla has come a long way when 70k cars manufactured and 63k delivered is considered a bad result. 10 years back they were making 10 cars a quarter
The false dichotomy persists in your rephrasing. You could maintain excellent fitness with a more moderate exercise regime.

Sorry if it comes across as an attack on your lifestyle. It isn't meant to be. If you find extrinsic motivations morally suspect, then let me assure you I believe your motivations are entirely intrinsic and pristine.

But regardless, there are such things as trends. It isn't presumptuous to assume that people do things for the social benefits. That's just being realistic. If it builds their social network, increases their status, widens their career prospects, makes it easier to find a better mate... perhaps they should be doing that thing, whether it's running an ultramarathon or doing a 6-hour headstand in a park. What does it matter?

Except that if 6-hour headstands become the hot new thing that every young professional seems to aspire to, I'm going to ask about whether "society" should be glorifying something that's obviously going to lead to neck damage versus, say, a nice 6-hour foot race. That's all.

> It's now fairly obvious MCAS was at the root of those two crashes. But, did it save lives in other circumstances?

Let's say Boeing ships a new airliner, where in 1/1,000 flights, the wings fall off for no reason.

Would you be asking the question of: "But did the wings save lives in other circumstances?"

Of bloody course, they did. Doesn't mean that they should have ever shipped an aircraft, where the wings fall off for no reason!

MCAS was a hack around a redesign of the plane. If the plane would have crashed at an even higher rate, without that hack, then the conclusion is not: "WOW, MCAS saves lives."

The conclusion is: "That airplane should never have been shipped, because it is a deathtrap."

If it would have crashed at a lower rate, without MCAS, then no, MCAS was not a net life-saver.

Boeing chose to redesign the place, making it more dangerous to operate. To mitigate the danger, they added MCAS, which was also dangerous to operate. It doesn't matter whether or not a MAX with MCAS, or a MAX without MCAS is more dangerous. What matters is that a MAX with MCAS is dangerous. Nobody put a gun to their head, and made them redesign their plane.
If you're having these days where your heart rate is elevated for weeks after, during your transition period, you either started off with way too much work or you're not tracking your work honestly. In just a month or two during the base period you will wind up doing more than double what you're doing right now, so it's very important that what you're doing right now is really quite easy to sustain. Also, heart rate zones! Make sure you are following them!
My guess is the 737-MAX will get enough of an update to keep it going for a few years, followed by an overhaul and new model name.

Boeing wants to get as far away from this as possible.

That's still greedy assholes at work. rdiddly didn't specify that the greedy assholes involved are all Boeing executives; that airline executives have clean hands. And to VBprogrammer's point, airliners making pilots pay for their own training again comes back to airline executives being greedy assholes.
>The integrity of engineering excellence should never be sacrificed for profit and/or conveniency in places where it involves human lives.

That's just unrealistic. Unless you want plane and car rides to cost as much as a trip to space, after all, since everything would need to be engineered to that level of quality.
I understand the risks of OTA updates, but it should be possible for them to release a 2019 model that has more nuanced algorithms than the 2017 model.
I've heard of the school but first thought wouldn't have been elite.

I'm Australian maybe elite has different nuances here I've always consider elite universities as the ones with centuries of pedigree Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard - the "sandstone" universities with their "old boys network" and all of that...

Compared to those schools I only have a passing familiarity with MIT, Richard Stallman was from MIT his really the only person I can think of off the top of my head compared to Cambridge which had people like Steven Hawking, Isaac Newton etc.
> It's also surprising the MCAS was implemented at all, instead of an alarm.

Regulations are that "(1) The stick force vs. g curve must have a positive slope at any speed up to and including VFC/MFC; and......(a lot of other text)......During the approach to the stall, the longitudinal control pull force should increase continuously as speed is reduced from the trimmed speed to the onset of stall warning."

The Max's aerodynamics are such that as you approach a stall angle, at a certain point the force inverts and the aircraft "pitches nose up" reducing force against the stick close to the stall angle.

An alarm thus fails to meet the stick force requirement. The intention behind the MCAS is to push force against the stick throughout the approach to the stall angle to meet the requirement.

(Which obviously created a whole host of failure modes that everyone seems to have entirely missed).
I think the Jaguar competes price-wise more with the Model S and X then Model 3. Since he/she bought it instead of a Tesla, parent does correspond to headline.
Well, regardless of caching and special ORM, doing 11K peak sql qps on 15% cpu load, is remarkable. They did a great job optimizing the database and access.

They probably also save a lot on ops team - running a single sql server with a failover is well-understood, error-resistant and covered in vendor's guides/best practices.
Greatly looking forward to more downvotes from anonymous cowards who don't like what they think are my politics and could care less if what I'm saying is accurate or not.

That said... when new facts came to light, the article was updated. Outside of the headline, which I agree is opinionated, is there anything factually inaccurate in the article? Go read it again, and find some contradictory sources with at least the same level of journalistic respectability as the (iffy) Vox. I'll wait.

Even the headline has only one disputable word... "taunt". They're white, wearing MAGA hats, and confronting a Native American elder. All of these things are incontrovertible facts. As for "taunt"... you can believe they're as innocent as pure driven snow, but that has never been my experience of teenage boys being confronted in front of their peers, regardless of race or social standing. Teenage boys are about the nastiest form of human being there is.

I anxiously await your alternative facts.
agile makes developers into cogs
The main thing for me is that NOW pilots will be aware that there is a piece of software running in the background that might fight them. The first thing they will all learn is how to disable it so they can actually fly the airplane. That's even without a software fix.

To me, it all comes down to to Boeing being able to self-certify their aircraft, and they knew they were sneaking the "fix" known as MCAS as a way to prevent loss of sales to A320. Super shady in my opinion.
The Paradox of China's Social Credit System
Hey HN, I'm the author of this article (also the precursor predicting this, which was on the front page yesterday). My impression is that the best place to look for an explanation is actually the facebook post by Luciano Floridi: https://www.facebook.com/floridi/posts/10157226054696031. My sources at Google just couldn't see the panelists constructively working together on a panel at this point. Obviously, protests by Google employees played a role too.
It seems a bit unlikely to me that an airline like South West, that only flies 737s, would sooner buy Airbus planes than non-737 Boeing planes. I mean, stranger things have certainly happened, but it doesn't seem like the kind of existential threat that would force the hand of Boeing executives in such a way that takes blame away from them.
We are agreeing. To expand:

What happened to all the women in tech fields? This office would make diversity/inclusion officers (who are modern additions to organizations) salivate, because current workplaces do not look like this slideshow.
At least it was the consumer ripping off the corporation for once. Think of the chicklet keyboards, or the proprietary, consumer-hostile tactics that stole millions from consumers (or the billions in taxes that apple refuses to pay). It's nice to see the tide turn occasionally.
Are you claiming that the fact that without MCAS, the plane being fundamentally dangerous is a good thing? I am not sure that "MCAS saved lives because that plane is begging to crash otherwise" a big selling point for Boeing.
Where are you getting the idea that ALEC is trying to be transparent about about writing these laws? The article is clear that it takes some digging to uncover these bills:

USA TODAY and the Republic found at least 10,000 bills almost entirely copied from model legislation were introduced nationwide in the past eight years, and more than 2,100 of those bills were signed into law.

The investigation examined nearly 1 million bills in all 50 states and Congress using a computer algorithm developed to detect similarities in language. That search – powered by the equivalent of 150 computers that ran nonstop for months – compared known model legislation with bills introduced by lawmakers.

There isn't some tagline "this bill contributed by ALEC!"
As a Tesla owner I absolutely want Tesla to sell the whole package. I was a long time BMW owner and hated their joke of an iDrive system. Tesla is a software first company and constantly improves the customer experience. My car today is actually way better than when I bought it. I don’t care about drive train and motor. I mostly care about Tesla’s approach to toward constantly improving the owner’s experience during the lifetime of the car
I see this playing out in a couple of possible ways. One is that it ends up like the DC-10. Public confidence is lost, even though the problem is fixed. The aircraft end up going into freighter service.

The other is that they make a convincing case that the problem is resolved. I don't know if that's possible given today's default hate for big corporations, we'll see. They've done it before with the 737 and the rudder problem it had in the 1990s or so. That problem led to a few fatal crashes, but I'm not sure it ever got the attention that this story is getting. The news cycle was different then.

I would absolutely fly on one once the problem is corrected.
I can't theoretically put my finger on it, either, but one antipattern that often shows up is a focussed minority with high incentives to pilfer from a larger majority, at the net expense of society.

An example being corruption, where one person might make small gains, at a much larger total cost to society. That cost, however, is amortised over even more people, leaving nobody sufficiently incentivised to fight it. This pattern is everywhere. NRA, mining companies' low cost rights to minerals, NIMBYs...

Concretely:

> Rather than getting all swoony about ALEC, wouldn't it make more sense just to fund more countervailing model legislation?

There is less money there, and money is what drives people to go above and beyond. Good people (aka most people) will play the game as best they can. Incentivised people, will change the game to win. It's a different mentality, you can't expect them to compete.

This is an inherent weakness in democracy as I know it, and lobbying is an incredibly powerful tool in the hands of these groups. The only moderating factors I know of are class action lawsuits, and the ombudsman. And now Twitter, for all its faults.

But are they separable? Can you get one without the other? I'm not clear on this, yet.

The OP meant, if you were to do a slideshow now, there would probably be considerably fewer women now.
I think they should fly on 737 Max flights piloted by Ethiopian or Lion Air Pilots. Not some Boeing/South West pilots.
You think they did that with pilots specifically trained in MCAS functionality, or with pilots from some small country halfway around the world where they were specifically told it was the same as any ol' 737?
The old fashioned advice was to do this, at a company that paid you for long service.

Those days are mostly dead.

While you might pause for fear of burning your bridges by leaving a project in the lurch, staying at a company for over 2-3 years is not the way forward in a career anymore - and that is very much the common advice and wisdom nowadays.

This isn't because young people want to, this is because you tend to get huge jumps in wage jumping between companies, while simultaneously HR seems to be allergic to giving good raises.
The fare card system they implemented here tracks everywhere you go on their system. If you use the tickets you pay more, if you don't register your card, good luck when something goes wrong with it(and it will).

Your options are, travel anonymously, and pay more or risk losing the money on your fare card due to them just deciding not work anymore, loss etc. I've gone through 4 now in about three years. Two just stopped working and i lost two. They also don't give your $6 deposit back, so i've now spent an extra $24 i'll never get back, for nothing on top of the money i lost on the first two cards. I've registered them since.

Or

Get tracked constantly any and everywhere you go on transit.
We've moved from on-prem to AWS fully and we see random issues all the time while their status page shows all green, so I feel you probably have a small amount of resources in use with them or something, because what you're saying doesn't jive with what we see daily.

This one fascinates for a few additional reasons, which a third-party site that supports revising and completing stories could address:

* It shows how automated the echo chamber is. The real crash cause is a more interesting + rare story. (though needs A/B testing)
* It shows how short-lived major coverage is. While most passengers unfortunately perished in the crash, _both the driver and the arguing passenger survived_, and will end up in court once they recover. This was mentioned by very few outlets, but will eventually help inform understanding of the event.

Yes, if your tsconfig is sufficiently permissive it will simply give any imports for which it can't find a type definition the 'any' type and assume that you can do anything you like with them. Obviously this doesn't give you any help from the type checker but it will work fine and you can go back and add typings later when you decide you need them.
Chinese culture encourages sharing ideas, not copyrighting ownership. Some things I've read say it comes from Confucianism. Regardless, they think it's good to spread and remix existing ideas instead of giving one party exclusive rights for 20-100+ years for their own profit. I agree with them that sharing ideas and tech seems to be a better default. If we had protections, they should be much more selective and careful.

In Shenzhen especially, you have to out-compete the others on implementation of ideas instead of rest on your laurels (err, copyrights and patents). Wired has a great documentary of its history and culture here with examples:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGJ5cZnoodY

One I like that's about improvement more than stealing is the iPhone copy. That company got the copy out about a year before the iPhone hit China. Apple refused to let customers swap their batteries and SIM cards easily. Their I.P. protections let them pull bullshit like that. The Chinese knockoff did let you swap those. The chargers come to mind, too. If your interface is proprietary, a company will likely spring up offering a modified product or cheaper adapter that lets people keep their existing one.
He could put his safety where his mouth is and vow to only fly on the MAX for the next two years. That would be a much stronger vote of confidence than whatever words his PR firm came up with.
Sure, that's the general pattern of diffuse vs concentrated interests, and it's a real problem, but it's orthogonal to model legislation.
You mean like GM and Bolt ?
This is the first time around.
MCAS is an example of where ugly hacks take lives, not save them. If the plane was properly engineered hundreds of people would be alive, it's not a choice between MCAS and a dangerous plane.

Simply put, commercial imperatives overtook solid engineering practices.
