People kept investing with Bernie Madoff for decades too, because his investments kept giving returns. People will keep shoveling money into Bitcoin as long as its value keeps swinging wildly. That's hardly a measure of success.
Yes, hindsight is 20/20. In my case, I doubt they'll care, given the small amount and the fact that there were no taxable profits. But I have to imagine that I'm not the only one who did this.
> static type checking should ideally be done by the IDE, we shouldn't need an entire new language

I am not sure what you are trying to say here. Javascript is barely typed, so presumably you do need a new language to perform type checking.

Unless you mean that your IDE should be able to infer types, which is unlikely because typing defines intent, and we've all read plenty of code where we can't figure out what the code author intended.

I think I would have said "Yes. She lived as long as it was physically possible."

If you have a loved one in this last stage care you can't have reasonable goals because nothing is reasonable anymore. Instead you measure success with time. The longer loved one 'lives' the better everyone did. It's irrational and harmful for everyone involved but that's how it is. That was actually what the person was asking when he ask if they did everything they could. Could she live longer?

My loved one today told me she would like to die on the operating table. She already had 4 head surgeries to remove her brain tumors. Last two last year left her physically disabled. She might need another one this year. The day after tomorrow we are doing her next MRI.

Surprisingly, or maybe not, IBM is the company that has been producing the largest amount of patents per year by a huge margin. In 2017 they managed to get around 9000, about 25 per day.

I used to work at IBM and having your name on patents was one of the most important things in order to rise through the ranks. Past a point, you could not go higher without some significant activity in the patents realm. There were many patent groups, many talks about it, there was a 'patent score' that people had in their email signature etc. You were also rewarded financially for each one.

In my humble opinion, this was a bunch of corporate bullshit. I've interacted with many people who had an impressive amount of patents and I was always disappointed. Their average patent was something along the lines of: a different way to use the browser history, a color-based way of handling support tickets, adding a list of blacklisted websites to a broswer or similar. It's hard to remember them because they were all unmemorable. Nothing was of substance or something worth being implemented.

That seems like a stretch. It's not a literal translation of the equivalent phrase in any Indian language I speak. And there were nearly zero English speakers in India before Europeans came, so it's not like Indians made up the idiom as the British sailed their ships into the harbor.

Box office pablum like the latest superhero movie is largely forgettable, but great culture will give you new perspectives on identity, relationships, morality, society, etc.
Another entirely valid reason is escapism. The world can be a really crappy place. I can say the certain movies/shows have absolutely helped me through some bad times. I've got terminal cancer, sometimes the only way you can really escape the constant malaise of having to forcibly work towards another day is by borrowing strength from the characters on screen.

As to what you're saying about studying the shows I do that too. Gone Girl is a movie that realistically is pretty easy to figure out the twist. But the way that it's written and acted is stunningly wonderful. It's rare to see solid stories elevated.

Comedians have always been and will always be about holding a mirror to society and pointing out the flaws in a way that makes people realise societies flaws, but make the solutions seem comically trivial. I'd wager it's a highly undervalued skill.

I did not blame FAA, I was just pointing out why your logic was flawed. Just because the plane crashes did not happen in the US does not mean that the FAA may not be at fault. The FAA had approved the plane and it was operated the same way in Africa as in the US so it is just chance that none of the crashes happened in the US.

I had one of the most complex Pipes rigged up to automate the collection of all the content I created or favorited from all over the web. It merged them all into a single rss feed which my very simple bit of python code scraped and output as static html on my "blog".

When yahoo killed off pipes I found https://github.com/nerevu/riko and realised that the visual aspect of pipes was holding me back.

Having said that, the visual aspect of pipes was what made it easy for me to get into the whole idea of "stream processing". So I have a lot to thank the pipes team for.

Correct, tagged pointers are just for pointer unions, a value union could be emulated using the transmute builtin function. A more general mechanism for discriminated unions is on the roadmap. It would have been nice to include it for the initial version, but I've been in stealth mode for too long already so really needed to launch ;).

What about it isn't fixable? Redundant (and thus more reliable) AOA sensors + a less aggressive MCAS system that at maximum displacement can't override the yoke would be more than enough of a fix for me.

Right, but the MCAS system as it was implemented during those two crashes did not disable itself when the two sensors disagreed. It could have, but didn't. Boeing is apparently changing that, and I believe that change to be sufficient.

MCAS being automatically disabled when the sensors agree but leaving the pilots with electronic trim control seems like a perfectly adequate solution. The MCAS system was never even necessary for flight, it was only necessary for certification. In the situations where it's meant to be active, which are a limited subset of all high angle of attack scenarios, it's fine system to have if it's working correctly. But it should never be active outside of that limited set of scenarios. It should never be active when both angle of attack sensors aren't indicating a high angle of attack within a reasonable distance of each other.

Frankly, if two sensors are indicating a high angle of attack and one is not, it's probably still sensible to disable MCAS. I don't have any of the real numbers, but the chance of a 737 being in a low speed high angle of attack scenario is low in the first place, possibly sufficiently low that "two sensors being wrong and the aircraft being in level flight" might be more likely than "aircraft is near stall and one sensor is wrong."

To know for sure we'd need at least the hard data on what modes of failure these sensors have, how likely any of those modes is to occur and what the expected readouts from those failure modes are, and how likely a 737 is to encounter a low speed stall scenario. We, or at least I, don't have any of that. But my gut says that two sensors are sufficient iff the MCAS system is only active when they agree.

Furthermore, the chance of two sensors being wrong actually goes up if you have three sensors, rather than two. Correct me if I'm wrong, stats was never my strong point, but it seems to me like the cumulative binomial distribution is relevant here:

#lang racket
(require math/number-theory)

(define (general-binomial p k n)
(* (binomial n k)
(expt p k)
(expt (- 1 p)
(- n k))))

(define (cumulative-general-binomial p k1 k2 n)
(apply +
(map
(λ (k) (general-binomial p k n))
(range k1 (add1 k2)))))

Chance of a single sensor failing, if each has a 1% chance of failure (sanity check):

> (cumulative-general-binomial .01 1 1 1)
0.01

Chance of two or three out of three sensors failing, if each has a 1% chance of failure:

> (cumulative-general-binomial .01 2 3 3)
0.00029800000000000003

Chance of two out of two sensors failing, if each has a 15 chance of failure:

> (cumulative-general-binomial .01 2 2 2)
0.0001

Two out of three sensors failing is three times more likely than two out of two sensors failing!

(In other words, two broken sensors voting out a third working sensor is more likely than two out of two sensors being broken.)
Technically it’s not slang (I took issue with that webmd calling it slang.. because it isn’t informal just nonstandardizd), it’s jargon. Because although different institutions do it differently, all this stuff is formalized pretty clearly.

There is both the PA codes, ie anything from fire (unsurprisingly often code red), active shooter, to rapid response (person still has a pulse but ain’t feeling so hot)... to full on code blue.. but most places I work these are “quick” numbers like 66 or 88.

I don’t think freaking out bystanders is a consideration.. since the non medical codes are often posted prominently in conspicuous locations, and the medical ones.. I mean who cares. But in most hospitals if you look near a nurse station you’ll find them not hidden. But who gets freaked out by a trauma alert or a code blue at of all places a hospital? there’s no saving those types.

Having worked in a number of places it is more about expediency and scale. Code Blue was fine in the 1960s.. it was basically a tack on to other colors and it’s not too confusing. Now fast forward and there are different types of teams you want to call... respiratory, rapid response, ACLS, police, psych.. colors don’t scale well for this unless you want to go off of roygbiv.. and then you’ve lost.

Edit: there have been efforts to standardize. In the US sometimes you get consistency in a region.
This has been my own experience over the years, and if you'll please take the time to re-read what I said, you'll see I said "many" and not all. There are going to be differences, of course.

Think back to the Terri Schiavo case. While she was apparently Catholic, the sentiment was the same. Her family believed that she was going to be healed by God (or Jesus, either one) and would make a full recovery.

I also think that years of medical dramas on television have given many many people (again, not everyone...) unrealistic expectations of medicine.
eh. instead of buying $400 screwdrivers and opening up the chassis to mess with the thermal paste, i've fixed my 2015 mbp thermal issues by getting a $15 usb laptop cooling pad on amazon.

edit: i misread the price of the screwdrivers. I still recommend a cooling pad. High power draw is usually when I'm using extra monitors at a desk anyways.
If you're not hitting the caches then there's a lot more to gain by optimizing IO patterns, either by traversing multiple directories in parallel (to fill SSD command queues) or by performing readaheads on the directories (to be friendly to HDD elevators). Sadly the latter is somewhere between difficult and impossible .

> I think you could probably write systemd in Go. I don’t see that Rust has any advantage there.

With a lot of low-level operations, go may have issues with mapping its threads to native. I can't remember which kernel interface was it, (there was a post about it on HN) but you have to call it for the same object from the same system thread. Since go didn't guarantee the mapping, you could randomly fail there.

Not OP, but my dad was in a similar situation to yourself - when I was 12 he bought me an Arduino kit for Christmas and we spent the holidays building projects together. When I was 13-14 he started taking my sister and I to CoderDojos. I'm not saying this will work for every kid and I was nowhere near as advanced as this guy at his age but it has given me a what seems to be a great career path post-university and a good background in open-source software.
Those people still pay the same as always.

The food companies pocket the extra margins -- and the seed/pesticide companies ensure a constant market for their wares (which they also patent)...

(Add to that that untold tons of perfectly good produce are destroyed every year to keep prices high when production quota are exceeded).

Besides, it's not because of lack of money going around the globe that people have to spend between 30% and 50% of their income for food. It's because of lack of distribution of money (i.e. income inequality).

You probably do have asthma. I'm a lifelong asthmatic and what you're describing is me on a rare bad day (it didn't used to be as rare as a kid, but is more rare for me in adulthood). You should probably get a second opinion, and an inhaler, peak flow meter, and a nebulizer as soon as you can.

I got worried about life expectancy for asthmatics recently, and it seems like, generally speaking, as long as it's well treated, the life expectancy is about the same as a non-asthmatic on average. You have to be careful when you have a severe asthma attack though, those can potentially kill you if you don't go to ER.
