- Multi-threading that uses separate memory spaces, meaning individual threads can run at max speed with no GIL overhead etc.

Hmm? Does that mean that they are actual processes sharing no memory? EDIT: If so then that's a big downside. In Rust you get thread-safety for traditional, shared-memory threading/concurrency. Ideally you should be able to get as good as Rust for threading. Ultimately, I think it all depends on this:

- Compile time reference counting. This does an analysis similar to the Rust borrow checker to infer lifetimes, but unlike Rust doesn't make the programmer jump through hoops.

I mean, that would be a huge win, but there must be a trade-off. Can you elaborate?

737 is a common plane. If there were a systemic problem it would have been discovered long ago. (In fact I think several such problems were discovered and fixed long ago.) Look how quickly this new problem was discovered by the public, with both the manufacturer and primary regulator working to hide it.

I'm not seeing the connection between being a top tier professional in a sport and working as a programmer 65hrs at a gaming company? One involves a necessary dedication and persistence for high reward, while the other is a useless exercise in exploitation (as no programmer is productive 65hrs/week and would only be rewarded sufficiently high in a few situations, such as having stock/ownership).
> The point still stands, the root cause was MCAS

Agreed. One could argue that the AoA reading mismatch was the root cause, but the plane alerted the pilots to the discrepancy just as it was meant to (through stick shake and panel readouts).

They were aware of the issue, took measures to mitigate them, and MCAS still drove the plane into the ground.

> Clearly expressions like [a-zA-Z0-9] are shorter and clearer.

Obviously the above is shorter, but is it really clearer? The ISO/IEC 14977:1996 is longer but very explicit. The above definition contains an implicit understanding about ASCII encodings i.e. that a-z, A-Z, and 0-9 are disjoint ranges. Someone without an understanding of this might confuse a-zA as one range, zA - Z0 as another range, and Z0-9 as a third range. Further, one might wonder if a-9 is a range that would include all alphanumeric characters. This is not exactly clearer than the ISO/IEC 14977:1996 notation, where it spells it out for you in explicit terms.

> Ranges also make exceptions clearer, e.g., if you omitted the letter O it would be obvious in a range but not obvious in a long list.

This would be written:

letter_except_O = letter - "O"

I don't see how that's not obvious.

> As you're cutting out all of the admin overhead, billing here and there, everywhere.

A significant share, as I understand it, of that cross-billing is to get an official denial from a higher-priority payer to show to another payer; my intuition would be that more coverage and security of payments would, even in a move to single payer, increase final number of payments unless actual payments are grouped and consolidated rather than paid individually as approved.

I think you have a good point, but today you have to add hours of analysis to that schedule as well. Back in my days, it was all about putting the hours into game. Today, the time is more diversified between analytics, exercise and of course majority still goes to training. I don’t think that people realize how much time is going into these games – professional today spends easily 14 hours a day on duties related to their esports careers (training, analysis, exercise, streaming, sponsorship duties).
Actually, most programmers would still comfortably think they are the brightest guy in the world even if they fell right through to the bottom of the bucket. There are no formal competitions ruthlessly declaring winners and losers to put us into our place. If everybody around me is shipping faster, better and more reliable they are probably just "doing it wrong". Cutting corners, not respecting the art or something like that, any excuse will do.
Just a few points.

Congestion pricing seems like it will most negatively affect middle income people. Most low income residents use mass transit, making an exception for them moot. The wealthy have the means to pay $15-$25 without being a burden.

A more fair system would exempt NYC residents who have lived here for a minimum of 15 years. I believe the burden should be shifted to new transplants.

The real problem that we don't acknowledge around is that a sq mile can only hold a certain amount of people. NYC is grossly overpopulated (lived here all my life). I think the city should have a cap on residents significantly lower than the current population.
Uh, NYC has never been filled with cars. Think you have twisted your perception of the past to fit your opinion.

Also, cars are not "public transit". Not sure how you arrived there....

I definitely also want to address the first issue, the tricky part is coming up with a solution that also works when there are multiple assertions on one line, but I'll give it more thought.
Same. I've warned about this many times.

It's a bit strange to hear that other people have been running Pi's for years with zero issues on SD, but that's definitely not been my experience. Note that I've run a few dozen Pi's that all ran 24/7.

The final solution was to let the Pi boot via USB from an external 2.5 HDD. SSD is best as it consumes less power, but indeed a rust spinner will be fine too.

Yeah, from the report:

> At 05:40:35, the First-Officer called out “stab trim cut-out” two times. Captain agreed and First Officer confirmed stab trim cut-out.

[...]

> At 05:41:46, the Captain asked the First-Officer if the trim is functional. The First-Officer has replied that the trim was not working and asked if he could try it manually. The Captain told him to try.

> At 05:41:54, the First-Officer replied that it is not working.

[...]

> At 05:43:04, the Captain asked the First Officer to pitch up together and said that pitch is not enough.

> At 05:43:11, about 32 seconds before the end of the recording, at approximately 13,4002 ft, two momentary manual electric trim inputs are recorded in the ANU direction. The stabilizer moved in the ANU direction from 2.1 units to 2.3 units.

> At 05:43:20, approximately five seconds after the last manual electric trim input, an AND automatic trim command occurred and the stabilizer moved in the AND direction from 2.3 to 1.0 unit in approximately 5 seconds. The aircraft began pitching nose down. Additional simultaneous aft column force was applied, but the nose down pitch continues, eventually reaching 40° nose down. The stabilizer position varied between 1.1 and 0.8 units for the remainder of the recording.

Seems this debunks the initial implicit commentary how this was due to 'third world' pilots and couldn't happen in the US.
MCAS forced the trim to a point where (because of aerodynamics) it was impossible to manually change the trim even after disabling MCAS, and was designed in such a way that it was impossible to engage the electrical trim controls (which could have saved the plane in this case) without also reenabling MCAS.
Well that sucks, and isn't at all funny.
I have to disagree with this. I think that people are afraid to "clarify the situation" in China because they will be downvoted or harassed. It's the reason I'm using a throwaway.

What China is doing is draconian and brutal, but it's like the media is completely wrong about the reason.

First, this is China's reaction to a string of horrying terrorist attacks.

Second, if any other country was doing this, the media would be calling them "de-radicalization centers."

Third, it isn't about oppressing Muslims or even Uighurs, but "potential terrorists."

Of course the decision on who is a "potential terrorist" is the main issue. China is being very heavy handed and that is where the ire should be directed.

I think this article gives a much better observation of what is going on over there:

the poster you are replying to misunderstood my sentence. there's no reason to directly tax powerful vehicles, unless you are using it as a weird proxy for fuel efficiency, which is already captured by per gallon fuel taxes.

I'm saying we should tax vehicles in proportion to some integer power of vehicle weight, since the road damage is superlinear with respect to vehicle weight. a big truck that weighs ten times as your Cayman does much more than ten times the damage. since we're trying to fairly distribute the costs of transit, the operators of these vehicles should be paying the lion's share of maintenance costs.
Note that uranium is toxic in the same way lead and mercury are, but it is intermediate in potency.

Uranium is probably more harmful in terms of heavy metal poisoning than it is in terms of radioactivity.
Likewise had Boeing designed a control surfaces system such that the pilot always has more control authority than the trim this also would not have happened.

I didn't say that MCAS wasn't the lions share root cause here. It's just not as simple as the "hurr durr, MCAS bad" that a lot of people keep trying to portray the more nuanced statements of various regulatory agencies as being equivalent to. MCAS might be bad but on an aircraft with a different trim system it wouldn't be "hurr durr" levels of bad.

> the same reliability (or better) as an SSD

Can you give examples of microSD cards like this? What googling for "high endurance" turns up are cards touting their use for video purposes (e.g. dash or security cameras that run 24/7). Continuous writes to video files, overwriting each memory cell every X period of time it takes to fill the card, is more punishing than other uses but it could still be far less than the thrashing caused by running an operating system for some tasks.

I've also seen the A1 and A2 classifications for higher IOPS cards, also good for running an OS, but independent of endurance.

> They must cut it at a moment where the stabilizer isn't grossly mistrimmed with respect to level flight, OR they may well need to re-engage it and race the MCAS to get into a close-to-proper trim setup prior to cutting out the stabtrim and assuming manual trim control.

All while keeping the plane in the air, reading the manual, and attempting not to lose composure knowing that the same thing has happened to another flight that lost all hands.

I'm trying very hard to look at this objectively, but this is an extremely bad look for Boeing.

> now that people refuse to pay for news

People (the audience, that is) have historically refused to pay a significant share of the cost for news, what has changed is that advertisers have stopped paying as much for news (because the share of people's attention debited to news, and therefore which news outlets have to sell access to, has dropped.)

Paid circulation used to often be important not so much because of direct revenue but because advertisers looked to it as an important measure of reach.
> Why is everyone so wedded to the narrative that this is the fault of MCAS and nothing else?

Because the other factors don't single this flight out, and the plane wouldn't have crashed without MCAS misbehaving, or more fundamentally, without the flawed plane design that required such a system in the first place.

> while ignoring the ridiculous notion that you can know every possible error that every function can trigger now or in the future.

If you have a statically typed language, and defined error types that are only thrown in certain situations, can you please explain to me why it is so ridiculous to think you cannot know every possible error that will occur? If function a calls function b, and function b throws errors x y and z, why is it I cannot check for x y and z in function a? Additionally, say there are some additional outside runtime errors that can occur such as out of memory errors, again these are ideally known ahead of time, and you can use a constrained runtime to minimize them. Taking this a little further, if you cannot know every possible error, then you cannot possibly have any sort of remote closeness to formal verification, and that means our software systems that rely on more stringent verification methods are a lie. (I hope you don't write any medical device software!)

I am making an assumption and maybe think you are just trying to say this heuristically ? Like maybe we are all writing web software, and meh, close enough if you handle most errors, and "meh" for the rest of them? I mean I certainly think that works for the majority of development that happens, but more and more we are becoming keenly aware that our software has real world impact on people's lives and maybe some added stringency is what we need.
This problem was one of too much automation, which decided that the best course of action was to fly the plane into the ground. In a less automated system, the pilots would have been able to enable electrical trim systems without also having their trim control overridden by MCAS and would have been able to recover flight control that way.
Particularly you want to look for the keyword 'industrial' when buying SD cards that'll store data that you care about. You can't just throw money at it because the prosumer cards, even from the reputable brands, tend to be crap, just more expensive.

Just out of curiosity, will there actually be any punishments handed out beyond just a slap on the wrist? Or is Boeing far too large of a corp to take on?
This. As long as most people have to grind out their own calculations, you can't have both easy taxes and progressive taxation. It's all the bits and bobs that have been done to maintain and (over, arguably) refine the regime of progressive taxation that make the math complicated. The math is only truly easy under a flat tax.
Is there an answer to that question? And, why is the distribution of matter not random? Maybe some sort of gravitational grouping? (eg earth's iron core, centrifugal enrichment of uranium).

This sounds very narrow minded.

What you are saying is no different than any other traditional sport. Take ice hockey goalies. In recent years they've become more athletic to the point that their bodies do things that non-goalies can't. How is that skill relevant or transferable outside of the game? Name a position in any sport and there will be close to zero relevance to the real world.

Even chess, what I consider to be very early precursor of eSports, depends on a narrow set of skills that you can't easily abstract into real life situations.
