"40 - Queue ahead" by a junction about an hour after the traffic has cleared. A couple of weekends ago I drove past 3 lane closure warnings and low speed limit signs on a motorway with, you guessed it, no lanes closed.

To some extent this is my confirmation bias, but certainly as often as not the signage is spurious and that's why people don't pay any attention to them. I suspect most people agree with the principal of the things, but every time they obey a sign whilst everyone else flies past, only to discover it was inaccurate it does affect the amount of credence future signs are given.

> you don't want the new title to have to compete with the historical version

This is so ass backwards it boggles the mind. If you want people to buy your new game, make it better and/or different than the old one! Otherwise you're wasting everyone's time, including your own.

Making inferior new products and complaining when they can't compete against superior older ones is more than a little boneheaded. If your new stuff isn't good enough, go back to the drawing board! Anything else is parasitic rent-seeking that should be viewed by all with disdain.

When you're running a franchise properly, the success of a product should only help your bottom line in the long run. If you're looking at it as a threat to new business, you made a wrong turn somewhere and you need to figure out where it was so you don't do it again.
True, and I suspect if most of the consumers understood this they wouldn't pay anything for it.
A few weeks ago I noticed someone on the same train reading what seemed like a fashion magazine. As far as I could tell every single page was just a high fashion ad for some luxury good. Just photography, a brand trademark and maybe some captions indicating the edition or product range. It wasn't a catalogue. There were no serial numbers or prices. Just glossy ads as "content" interrupted by regular ads.

Trust me, there's a market for people who want ads.

A broken AofA sensor has other consequences, such as the differing pressure altitude and airspeed on the left and right panels, so I would guess that it is expected that the problem would be found and fixed after the flight it occurred on (though this did not happen in the Lion Air case.)
Those benchmarks are interesting. They are more thorough than most, but there's still a few fairly significant problems with them. Firstly, I don't see any verification that the commands are producing the same or similar output (e.g., a match count). Secondly, you split out fgrep into separate mmap and no-mmap benchmarks, but didn't do the same for ripgrep. Thirdly, some of the flags you're giving to ripgrep are a bit weird. e.g., Why are you asking it to follow symlinks? None of the other commands do that (or at least, grep doesn't). Fourthly, it looks like your benchmark corpora are pretty small. That's going to introduce a fair bit of variance. Hyperscan in particular might let you show a bigger performance difference on larger inputs.

Also, your README describes "modularity" as a difference between fgrep and ripgrep, but ripgrep appears _significantly_ more modular. Its components are split into several libraries, each with their own good API documentation. You might consider mentioning that, as your README kind of makes it sound like ripgrep isn't available as a library where as fgrep is.
Don't you think they could easily replace the GPS with some other navigation module?
I have been teaching myself SPARK 2014 and there are a couple of article on writing different parts of drone software in SPARK. Rust also has my attention, but Spark goes beyond Rust’s current capabilities in proving a program. I started to look at F* and F# as a possible toolset, but SPARK has a lot of work behind it. It’s like the Python of the safe and secure programming world. I work on specialized machinery and rides, and we always perform a very formal HRA (Hazards Risk Analysis), and FMEA (Failure Modes and Effects Analysis), and I can’t believe nobody said what happens if the sensor fails!
I'm kind of baffled you never got back to the first statement I made. It's like you got totally lost in your mission to prove that Swift sucks. I never claimed magic performance in Swift, I said ARC might be slower but it's a lot more predictable with a better minimum performance.

The only thing I see is "here's a ton of text and video to slough through made by people smarter than me", nothing concrete that undermines my original statement in any way.

And yes C++ cannot exist without C as it is an extension to C. You can write pure C in a C++ file and it will still work. You can write pure C in an Objective-C file and it will still work. You can write some ugly bastard syntax version of C in Swift and it will still work.

I'm very much willing to accept Swift's performance for a device driver (possibly the first device driver ever written in Swift) is worse than in many other languages if you stick to the safe bits of Swift. It just doesn't have much to do with what I wrote.
What I personally do is to write my question down, copy it, say Hi, wait for a replay, then paste my question. And thus have the best of the two approches.

Were you questioning people doing these releases the same way? Why not? Is it maybe because they were of the expected gender?

As a brilliant star with a newly minted engineering degree I might go into aerospace pre-1968 to play with blank sheet developments, X planes and XB-70, Concorde, Harrier, SR-71, 707 etc etc. Much the same with at engine makers - Merlin to Olympus and Pegasus. An absurdly long list, often with remarkably small teams. I might not want to take my 2019 vintage degree into a world of incremental improvements at one of the few global giants. Even if those improvements are of enormous significance over the years. It doesn't feel earth shaking any more, Farnborough isn't showing astounding free PR every year, just steady incremental progress (mostly). No more flying bedsteads.

Same goes with the laptop analogy actually - the fun was probably in the earlier years than now with new model every year with an extra few percent on the numbers, or slimmer. Green fields are usually more fun, and when they succeed, more satisfying; even with the odd Osbourne effect or total failure.

Were I that newly minted genius, I'm not sure where I would park myself today. Space X for some, perhaps. Probably not Boeing or BAe. I'm sure there's plenty of good (enough) engineers at all of them still. Working as one of thousands. That's not so alluring.

That a Bayesian NN "defines a distribution over neural networks" means that a Bayesian NN is a NN with priors on the weights. So it's not that there is some special similarity to GPs. BNNs are like any other Bayesian model, but now a NN is the likelihood.

The situation is usually flipped with Bayesian GP models -- a GP is usually used as a prior on the linear predictor.

In my experience, developers understand and appreciate range-based estimates. But when those numbers start moving up the communication chain, some non-developer is going to either not like or not understand the point of the range, and will convert it to a single number: either the first one, the last one, or the average. They might even be honest about it, thinking "I need to know the earliest possible date, so I'll use the low end". But then the next person, who doesn't see the range, thinks that low end is THE committed date and will plan accordingly. Now your deadline is 99% likely to be missed.

That's the price of running after (technological) progress at all cost.

Nothing in our day to day life makes sense on an ecological level, nothing at all. Food, all our useless tech gadgets, ICE vehicles right next to where we live / sleep, being able to take the plane to go 1000km away for the price of a lunch in a restaurant, mass tourism, iot shit, 90% of startups, &c.

But we're comfy and warm, plus at the end of the day we get to watch the new junk netflix produced this week on our 4k tablet. The very same tablet we'll have to dump in 18 months when the battery dies and it'll cost more to replace it than to buy the next iteration. We can even go on internet places like HN and Twitter to virtue signal about how bad we're treating the planet (as I'm doing right now) while sending 0s and 1s to servers all around the world, you know, the same servers used to share picture of cats and fake news while consuming terawatts of electricity. But I get my daily costa rican banana, my japanese tea, I can eat meat at every meal, my smart light bulbs know my location and switches on when I arrive home, my company sponsored laptop costs 5 time the annual age of a Chadian, everything's fine.

We sacrificed the future for instant convenience and comfort, we more than deserve what's coming to us.

We know that in certain countries there exist "single points" where a majority of internet traffic flows [0], but if those points get cut off, couldn't you reroute the traffic? Isn't that the point of decentralization in the first place?

And if it's technically feasible, would encryption tools like VPNs, DNS encryption or even Tor help in a situation like this?

This is exactly the kind of emotional appeals the GP is complaining about. There are tons of different substances you come into contact with on a day to day basis. Most of them will not be harmful in any reasonable quantity. If paper or cotton clothing was invented today the parchment and wool industries would be talking up how it's not proven to not be harmful. Yes, some plastics are probably bad even in small concentrations. Just from a common sense point of view it's highly unlikely that all plastics are bad in all concentrations. No you shouldn't ingest it intentionally. Yes, I'd like to see less plastics in the world. No I don't think it's going to be a massive future problem. If it really does turn out to be a serious problem we'll find a way to solve it. Remember when CFCs were going to deplete the ozone and give us all skin cancer?
An alternative to flat out saying no is to point out how expensive and risky what you've been asked would be, in terms of development time, maintenance, and other metrics that the business cares about. Even very rough estimates with a list of risks will usually do.

If somebody else comes out with a much lower estimate, ask them what they think about risk A, B, C... if you've got a point, this will usually work.
When I go to a popular website right now, with ad blocking disabled, I see, above the fold:

* One huge video ad for a home decoration magazine (I could not care less)

* One animating ad for car loans (no interesting in that)

* One animating flash ad for payday loans (actively hate these)

* One static banner ad for a gas grill (no interest, just got a new one last summer)

These do not seem to be particularly tailored to me, and definitely are not tailored to the content I've chosen to view. They're on the main page of the site. This is why I use ad blockers. Browsing the web without one is agonizing. Also the reason I don't really watch TV anymore, the ads put me off. Maybe I'm in the minority, but it sure seems to me like this minority is growing.
How do we understand these kind of threads of HN?

In the last 6 months there have been security breaches at Facebook [1] Google [2] Cisco [3] and look at those threads and some of these breaches are extremely amateurish and the general consensus is these things happen and the top voted responses mirror this attitude.

Yet on the same site on the threads about India, China and non US companies we see some kind of dissonance where these are reframed as showhow affecting these companies uniquely because of 'poor standards' and 'mediocre engineers' and the top voted responses reflect this.

Far from informed discussion this not only demonizes entire groups but creates and perpetuates prejudice that will no doubt impact everything from recruitment to general behavior. And this continues on discussions beyond security to things like corruption, surveillance and other issues.

Having a new type rating is a fair punishment, I think, for Boeing and the airlines who have been stringing along this obsolete airliner for way too long.

Note the 737 MAX was rushed out not just to fight the A320neo but also to counter this kind of jet:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_A220

which is cheaper to run than the 737 MAX but also has much
better passenger comfort than the 737. I was in the similar

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embraer_E-Jet_family#E175

and even though it is a smaller plane, it feels more like riding in a widebody than in a 737.

Canada developed a fully modern small jet on it's own dime and taking risk, then Boeing nearly killed it by offering airlines a 70% discount on the 737 MAX. Airbus bought a controlling interest in it for free because that was the only way it could survive.

Common type rating is a big reason why airlines are sticking with the 1967 era 737 rather than upgrading to modern planes that will make flying much more pleasant, make less noise, use less fuel, less climate change impact, etc.

I do touch-type, but I don't seem to do it in the quite orthodox way. My "homerow" seems to be shift-A-W-D or F and K-O-P-between ' and ENTER.
