Many small business jets are single pilot operations. I think the FAA has 6 passengers as the upper limit for this currently (but I could be wrong). Of course rules can be changed when technology makes this possible. The main limitations for self flying planes are non technical and related to regulations and procedures designed for human operated planes. IMHO, much of that could be solved with today's technology even but it would require disruptive changes that don't quite make sense yet. Once technology catches up it will make more sense and these things will start changing.

Everything you said about I7 is true, but its real value comes from the abstractions it introduces.

That is, it isn't just an English-like syntax for writers who are used to writing in complete sentences... it's a programming model based on concepts from narrative, technical writing, and linguistics, for writers who are using it to write narratives, describe technical systems, and manipulate text.

I7 integrates high-level domain concepts of interactive fiction into the language: scenes and continuity, rules and their exceptions, relationships between objects, templates for parsing and printing text.
Sorry, totally missed that. Looks like some other people have had similar issues with upgrading to previous versions: https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues/3489 (though the issue is for (I think) 16.04->18.04, someone mentions that it also affects 18.04->18.10)

it's strange that that's all the output you get, though. Apparently it puts logs in /var/log/dist-upgrade/, is there more there?

If you actually dive down into the study by Charles Schwab that this article is taking their numbers from, it doesn't look unreasonable at all. $1.1 million dollars is the figure stated to be financially comfortable in San Francisco and the exact same number that was polled for New York City. It is approximately double the $540,000 average response from Charlotte, North Carolina. It's also definitely worth noting that this is net worth. If you have paid equity into a home, have other savings, own a car etc. you'll likely be hitting this number living in the Bay Area - this would easily fall into my personal definition of financially comfortable. I would go on to say that this number is likely only double that of somewhere like Charlotte because of real estate costs.

As for the quotes from financial planners... In my experience, they have no idea about the finances of a normal American and deal exclusively with farfetched wealthy individuals. One of my friends in Seattle making $200,000+ was told he could never afford to retire on such a meagre salary by one of these financial planners (note: he was referred to this financial planner by their father who happens to be quite wealthy).

Watering holes are a massive positive externality. In our current system, the government and charities are the only institutions that are set up to deal with externalities. Without them we are stuck with watering holes for which private entities are capable of extracting enough of the generated value (aka, rent). If you make rent seeking harder, you decrease the portion of the value which can be captured by the private entity, further restricting the watering holes which private entities are capable of building.

Its just a strange thing to hear people say a physics masters is useful because it demonstrates your capacity to learn the same material as a computer science undergrad.

I certainly respect a physics degree for the same reason I respect a math degree: it shows me that this person can work really, really hard for a long a time.

If you're in physics or math you may know exactly what I mean, but if you're outside: it is bonkers how hard they have to work.

> What about the board sports (wake/snow/skate)?

I doubt they're anywhere near the others. Boxers and football players get hit every match as a matter of course. The whole point is to hit people.

Board sports, on the other hand, the entire point is not to fall down or run into things. A person can snowboard an entire lifetime and never take as many hits to the head as boxer gets in a single match.
Defining saltiest by counting salty words has some serious limitations. #2 on the "Total Overall Score" list, merricksb, only points out reposts, and politely points users to the original post. merricksb's only sin is using the words "discuss" and "discussed". Maybe those are considered salty because "discussed" sounds like "disgust"?
I don't want to come across as negative, but just an observation and to play devil's advocate - wouldn't it be better to fix the flaky test or delete it entirely instead of build a feature to disable it during a test run in an automated fashion?

Whenever our team has a significant number of flakey tests (more than 1-2) we usually schedule a bug squash session to fix them and amortize the cost over the whole team.
Whoops; you're right of course, but same idea with fewer primitives -- either way, obscure the output of the polynomial MAC with the output of a cipher, so you get the fast MAC that you can reuse multiple times.

Yes, definitely! I just bought a few Wingsung 3008s from eBay (a few dollars each, I think) and they're super-smooth. Couldn't believe I got a TWSBI-like piston filler for that cheap. Only downside to the cheap eBay pens is the shipping time...

>> Firstly, GHASH is replaced with POLYVAL, a hash that is almost exactly the same but reverses the order of some bytes because it turns out that's more efficient on most platforms.

The GHASH/GCM bit twiddling is so awful and slow and side-channel insecure to do in software, that most people just blindly copy the obscure code full of clever optimization that smart specialists come up with [1].

Then other smart specialists [2] have to reverse engineer said clever tricks (now widely used everywhere), because no explanation exists and it is not clear why they work in the first place.

Once done, a third group of smart specialists tweak the algorithm in an incompatible way to gain 10% speed on specific platforms and forcing people to pull in even more obscure code.

Simply put, I wish AES-GCM-SIV had just used GHASH as GCM and helped keeping complexity of crypto libraries down...

Watch more porn, or get laid more.

I was having focus issues, because coding is fascinating but not inherently sexy to me. After working on a problem for a while, the enjoyment of the problem would become overshadowed by my sex drive, and I would start to find anything else more interesting. Ended up being my body's way of reminding me that I should make some babies before I died, so I was subconsciously distracting myself away from anything fascinating that wasn't the opposite sex.
So I am dyslexic sue me.

The original quote was attendance at a "top" school, not just a decent one.

I think the context indicates that we're talking about kids who couldn't get in by proving qualification, so their only way in is wealth. You want your kids to attend Harvard, not because they're smart enough but because you can pay full price tuition? Well, it's going to cost rather a lot.

I'm not sure you understand how difficult it is to prove software correct. I've written a decent amount of Coq code. It's quite bonkers how much of proof one needs to write to get anything done. For reference, the certified compiler CompCert's code base is something like 10% code and 90% proofs.
I don't think it's lol myself, this guy's a good commenter who didn't pick up fast enough on the "politesse above all--even truth, decency and humanity" rules and norms that are in place here on HN. :\
No, we can literally prove it correct based off of a specification.

In science nothing can be proven but in the world of logics and math, things can be proven. Bugs can arise where programs intersect in the real world.

This is a glorious example of where the truth is hated simply because it’s inconvenient and utterly fails to support the sociopolitical narrative.

The reaction of the far-leftists to evidence like this is what has pushed me clear out of the left and into centrism. I will never become a conservative (that philosophy has even more patently bankrupt ideas it still desperately clings to), but I cannot consider myself “of the left” anymore. I simply cannot abide those levels of toxicity and religious-like ideology against which any dissent is heresy to be punished and crushed.
Nice new, is very interesting.
AHH, thank you! /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log explains why! It's indeed another instance of a bug I already saw when upgrading another system [1] and couldn't figure out -- there's a missing dependency in some Ubuntu package:

"$1.1 million dollars is the figure stated... you'll likely be hitting this number living in the Bay Area"

I get why 'SIV' used a hash of the message in addition to the user provided nonce.

My point was I disagree on your sentence "the best way to generate a unique nonce is as a hash of the input message - otherwise you technically have to record every nonce you’ve ever used."

That implies that a hash is strong enough that you don't need to track messages. If you believe that to be the case then a CSRNG would be equally as strong of not stronger and less complex. Still sqrt(n) chance of collision.
No, I get it, but still... it's ironic. Software for a plane, though, I would want 1% code 99% proofs.

This is a common problem. The book Deep Work goes into it in detail, and has some research-based techniques to fix it. Basically it boils down to removing distractions, and determination, gradually building up your brain's ability to focus again.

Focus is another one I really like on the Mac - it replaces websites with a different quotation each time:

https://heyfocus.com/

On Windows, I add websites to the hosts file as others have suggested: HN and Google News are the main ones, I gave up FB long ago.

Doing this still doesn't get you back on track coding / focusing, but it helps. The idea is to break your habit of visiting distracting sites - where these apps help - but also build a habit of work. The more you make it a habit, the easier it becomes over time.
It is not wise to bite the hand that is currently feeding you. And I don't mean paying the author - I mean running your article. If Vogue will run it, let the reader notice the irony. If you call it out explicitly, Vogue (probably) won't run it. If you actually believe what you're saying, that's kind of counterproductive.
Yeah and then the specification at that level of specificity IS the code. How do you prove the specification is bug free?
I had a similar issue recently and during one of my many afternoons dicking around on the internet to avoid work I actually found a solution that worked surprisingly well: FocusMate.com

It's kind of like chat roulette (before it got weird) for study buddies. I'll admit the premise is a bit odd butt don't knock it until you've tried it. Essentially, you're paired with a random partner for a 50 minute mostly-silent video chat. You spend the first minute or two saying a quick hello and each definitively stating what you're going to accomplish in the hour and then you get to work (separately - they're very clear it's not for collaboration). When time is up you both report back on whether you did what you set out to do. And while you get to work the corner of your screen has a little live stream of your partner diligently working.

Not only does it help keep me "accountable" and working pretty efficiently for the full 50 minutes but it's also made me so much better/more realistic about estimating what can be accomplished in that time.

It's not easier to prevent bad behavior than to encourage good behavior. There are an infinite number of potential rent-seeking behaviors that selfish actors can dream up in a world of free contracts. If you ban some of them, new ones will just spring up.
