Here's the bit I used to tease my Boeing employed friend about:

Mitsubishi Heavy built the wings for the 787. Boeing, in a rare moment of stupidity, outsourced the manufacturing of the wings (the internal policy has historically been "The wings are the plane" so outsource anything BUT the wings and we are cool).

So about the time the first 787 prototype rolls off the lines, Mitsubishi announces their Regional Jet.

He was calm about this every time I brought him an article about them making progress. It's a Bombardier class plane, it doesn't really compete with Boeing. And they need a lot of commuter jets in SE Asia so they'll sell a lot of them, sure, but it's gonna be a while before they build a plane three times as big.

And as it turns out, it took them a very long time just to build their first plane. Now, I don't believe the Japanese "school of business" is fond of people bungling a project and having no idea how to avoid all the problems the next time, so we could get surprised by a much faster turnaround on the next one. But they're still way behind schedule.

My 2 year old is learning road safety and how to walk on the side of the street, but she's still safer when I'm with her because as an adult, I can understand things like getting hit by a car that I haven't experienced first-hand and I'm much less likely to get distracted by a cat or bird or whatever. Honestly on our street enough chickens and dogs and horses and tractors get out that I'm not actually worried about her getting hit, but she's also infatuated with irrigation canals and cannot swim, so I don't let her walk alone. I strongly disagree that this makes me a bad parent, despite your assertion that "she'll need to be autonomous someday, why not today?" Sure, she'll learn all this and more, but teaching takes time, and there's more to life than ensuring your kids could survive alone at the earliest possible age.

She still wants her mommy to kiss her knee when she scrapes it, my priority is not teaching her to clean and bandage a wound.

The MRJ is too heavy to be flown by any US airline per contracts with the pilots. I don't see how we will ever see this plane in the US.
Metrics like that are bullshit. They’re worthless carnival cash designed to keep employees in line lest they demand actual compensation for the value they truly provide.

Measuring developer proficiency in terms of a single number is particularly ridiculous.

I keep all my config source controlled and have my own setup program that creates symlinks and so on, along with a "bootstrap" script that starts from a clean Mac and installs and configures everything I need:

https://github.com/kbd/setup/blob/master/bootstrap.py

There are still some things that are manual:

* some macOS settings that can't easily be set via "defaults write"

* VS Code makes it hard to source control its settings, so I use the settings sync extension, but that requires manual config of the gist id and access token. It's super frustrating that a programmer's editor makes it hard to source control its settings!

* iterm2's config system is frustrating as well, with user-level config (eg. colors) mixed in with things like window positions and "last time checked for updates" timestamps. So I pretty much set up my last good config for it and then run 'git update-index --assume-unchanged' on its config so I don't have to see the file constantly dirty in my repo.
>Users are unlikely to use Google for maps and say, Bing for their searches.

I don't know, I see very little tying the two together. I currently use DDG exclusively for search except for localized searching and maps, for which I use Google. There isn't really much friction to switch between the two. Especially since most of my map usage is on mobile, where it is a separate app.

The FTC complaint lists a number of instances in which Facebook allegedly made promises that it did not keep:

In December 2009, Facebook changed its website so certain information that users may have designated as private – such as their Friends List – was made public.

They didn't warn users that this change was coming, or get their approval in advance.

Facebook represented that third-party apps that users' installed would have access only to user information that they needed to operate. In fact, the apps could access nearly all of users' personal data – data the apps didn't need.

Facebook told users they could restrict sharing of data to limited audiences – for example with "Friends Only." In fact, selecting "Friends Only" did not prevent their information from being shared with third-party applications their friends used.

Facebook had a "Verified Apps" program & claimed it certified the security of participating apps. It didn't.

Facebook promised users that it would not share their personal information with advertisers. It did.

Facebook claimed that when users deactivated or deleted their accounts, their photos and videos would be inaccessible. But Facebook allowed access to the content, even after users had deactivated or deleted their accounts.

Facebook claimed that it complied with the U.S.- EU Safe Harbor Framework that governs data transfer between the U.S. and the European Union. It didn't.
>Facebook does not help you in getting any sucess at all.

Thats an excuse to not update code. The plugin is extremely useful.
There's survivorship bias since low-lifes and criminals are less likely to be active here.
It's hard to tell for certain from that site, but it looks like that doesn't do what I want. What I want is to stop the data collection that is used for advertising. Does Contributer do that?

Also, this looks like it's about web sites that carry Google ads (and only those sites that have decided to participate -- none of which look to be sites I use anyway), not Google's own services.
Thank you for your response! As a Shark(tank investor), I would say "I'm Out, but truly, good luck on your endeavor!" :)
I just finished reading "Never Lost Again: The Google Mapping Revolution That Sparked New Industries and Augmented Our Reality" (https://amzn.com/0062673041) about the evolution of Google Earth, Maps, and Street View. Written by one of the founders of Keyhole (the company that built what became Google Earth), the book is mostly about the founding of Keyhole and its mapping technology, but it has some insider info about the political maneuverings between Google's Search and Geo teams over owning the map ads because everyone knew it would be a big deal. The book is pretty interesting, but light on the technical details.
For even more detail, there is a book.

What consequences should they face? And what for? Please put their charges into a sentence.

It's gonna be stupid hard to make a law about "negligent software development" without opening every developer EVER to ridiculous fines and punishment.

Is using C "negligent"?

How about not having test cases?

What about doing "git commits" after 6 PM?

Are only companies liable, or would a developer of an open source project be liable?

Governments move slow. They declare everything must be encrypted with TLS 1.3 -- but now TLS 1.4 is out. How long until they change the standards? What happens when they start to try and influence the standards?

Illegal violent responses are still illegal and not justifiable. It doesn't matter who did it first or started it. If that is the prevailing attitude, I think we're in for a really large battle where everybody will lose. Antifa is turning the public against them, because it's affecting regular average people who don't want a part of this fight. Most of us just want to be able to visit downtown, shop, and walk around with our families in peace.
While I agree about the utility, MapQuest pre-dated Google Maps by a fair bit.
Quite a premise: "Giant monolithic source-code repositories are one of the fundamental pillars of the back end infrastructure in large and fast-paced software companies."
I don't think ridicule is bad at all (and their episodes which were quite heavy on the union-bashing had quite a few nuggets of truth in their ridicule of middle management overruling common sense). But focusing on unions as the source of the problem is shifting the focus of criticism away from the actual source of issues -- austerity.

The workers (and thus the unions) were opposing government policies that were hurting them. Funnily enough (though unsurprisingly), strike rates as well as union membership fell under Thatcher because of her union reforms (which removed much of their bargaining power) -- and so the commonly held view of daily strikes in the 1980s (something Yes Minister capitalises on) isn't really an accurate portrayal.

By laying criticism on one and not the other, Yes Minister showed their Thatcher bias. And it's not at all a stretch to say they had a Thatcher bias -- Thatcher herself said that Yes Minister was her favourite show. So while Yes Minister was very heavily critical of the civil service, they weren't fundamentally critical of the views of the government. Thatcher was very strong on civil service reform too.

It certainly does; although it's possible they aren't stored independently and simply "cancel out" an upvote, so maybe that's what you meant.

The interface and the graphs are really nice; even though basing the data on votes alone would be less interesting in one sense, I think the rest of the site would still provide value even with that simpler metric.

Just to let everyone know: In practice, typical speed cubes (not Rubik's brand) are loose enough where the corner can accidentally be twisted[1], and if you get to the end with a corner twisted, you can untwist it legally. Well, unless you already stopped the timer like in that video. (Similarly, if the cube pieces fall off, you can put it back together. Also, if a few pieces are swapped in a way that makes it unsolvable you could take a few pieces apart and put it together again.) [2]

I don't believe "authoritarian" applies to companies. If anything corporatism is authoritarian.
I was an early clarifai employee and although I can't speak for what's there now, up until 2-3 years ago they had one of the most accurate models available (with google being the only real competitor).

The generally available models will almost always be suboptimal due to the difference in the data that they're trained on vs the data that clients use it on. That's why most of these AI companies end up doing a ton of consulting and build specialized models for larger customers.
Daily frustrations are universal to humans despite money, which can suggest that happiness often requires not complaining and doing things that are uncomfortable.

It can be difficult to know where negative thinking and intrusive thoughts begin and end. So the idea I want to represent my best thoughts in a reasonable way to the world isn't analogous to cheating or faking something.

It seems more pragmatic. Limited use of social media, expression of identity, online interaction and real-life social cohesion all have tremendous benefits.

A better message seems to be resilience over the human condition, normalizing the universal feeling of hopelessness and recognizing that these thoughts don't make you a victim, a diagnosis, ill or abnormal. They make you human.
I just needed a DB-client with which 1) I could have multiple SQLs in a single page/file (hope you know what I mean) and 2) execute single ones based on where the cursor is positioned, 3) without a delimiter at the end of each SQL, and 4) see as well execution plans (for some DBs e.g. MariaDB) and 5) to work with multiple databases (MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Clickhouse, DB2, MonetDB, Oracle, generic JDBC) and DBeaver totally saved me and I don't see any alternative (which I now anyway don't need).

I would pay for the "enterprise edition", but for a fixed amount not limited by usage but based on SW-versions (e.g. get upgrades for 1 year and after that to be able to keep using "the old version XYZ" until I have a reason to upgrade for which I would have to pay again). The 149$/year ( https://dbeaver.com/ at the bottom) sounds like it would stop working after 1y no matter which version I'm using :(

Nice. I've been using hyperopt with random search, I'll definitely check out your work.
Absolute minimum:

1. MacOS or Linux

Do everything in Terminal.app
Configure it nicely:
grey on black, 13pt monaco, etc
setup shell w/ tab completion (bash or zsh & oh-my-zsh)

2. Install homebrew (osx package manager)
2a. brew install git
2b. brew install vim (optional, nice to have newer version)

3. install vim-rails (which gives us syntax highlighting for ruby & js)

4. use rvm to install specific ruby versions etc as needed.

Ready to work with ruby, rails, javascript.

Thoughts on the wisdom of deplatforming contrary (or even violent) views aside, I find it interesting that this seems to be fairly narrowly targeted toward UK actors.

I live in a town known for its racial history, and there are two very vocal men here who are leaders of SPLC-listed hate groups. I just checked, and both still have active personal accounts. The only people I can think of off the top of my head who are more visible in those circles in the US would be Jason Kessler and David Duke.

Perhaps this action was motivated by political pressure in the UK?

Well, they only took us to the moon, deliver our mail, handle invasions, wars, and other emergency situations, and so on. Oh, and they also gave us this internet thing.

In fact, before the web era, they also made the best maps (e.g. the British military maps).
Actually I have to admit that I originally wrote my numbers based on a random article I found which summarizes this source:

I stand by the characterization of "exploitative". The point of protocols is to mediate between parties with diverging interests. The parties deploying meddle boxes are rationally trying to further their own interests, but they are doing so by stepping over the delineating line. In 2019, the idea that neighborly courtesy would preserve the line was obviously naive. Now we need to build concrete walls.

And lest you think that my viewpoint is completely at odds with network administrators - elsewhere I've argued that raw unrestricted IP access will eventually come to be seen as a bug. Surveillance companies backhaul much of their collect unhindered precisely because "Internet access" is given as an all-or-nothing condition. IP is actually horrible for addressing such concerns, which is why attempts at egress firewalls devolve into idiotic "block everything but 80/443" (and then new devices respond by working over HTTPS).

I think in the future, if we're lucky, the equivalent of firewalls will be based around type systems over PDUs, and embedded devices will be forced to specify exactly what they communicate. But those capabilities need to be kept at personal network edges (or even per-user) by devices' owners making them transparent (akin to installing a personal CA), with traffic over the centrally-controlled transit network remaining completely opaque.
It's just a Eclipse skin, so this is accurate.

Samsung's DeX software on the Galaxy S10 and Tab S4 lets you run an Ubuntu ARM installation when the phone is connected to an external monitor. I could definitely see the use for a phone that unfolds into a tablet for work stuff, without requiring the extra peripherals.

I'd much rather carry a single device that can do it all, but a 7.3 inch screen isn't going to get me there. I'm more interested in the Huawei Mate X, that has an 8-inch screen when unfolded.
I get the use of an amazing map service for which I pay them with my data. I even contribute fixes, reviews, and photos. I'm pretty happy with that price. I don't give them anything for free. They pay me in service.

I actually want the ads too although I want them 100x better than they are and I'm sure Google like Amazon will fail for a while at curating the fake stuff. In an ideal world they'd have inventory and menus of every store so I could search for "pizza with avocados open now" or "1/4inch wrench" and it could tell me exactly where I can get them right now.

The author is interested in PL design, and thinks that while C++ style object implementations are great at offering compatibility with certain systems or interfaces, other approaches allow for far nicer semantics in a greenfield programming language.

For example, fat pointers make it possible to implement interfaces for existing types. I have experienced that as game-changing in Haskell, Go, Rust.

I also disagree that any memory usage can be handwaved as “no longer relevant today”. Electron, or garbage collection: perhaps. But object size affects cache pressure, and cache utilization is critical to performance. C++ is typically good at keeping objects small, except when it comes to multiple inheritance.

It's a tablet that fits in your pocket. Of course people want it.

However I remember comments like this one about the original iPad in the first place... because I was thinking the same thing at the time. So if you still don't get the appeal of tablets, then a folding phone also won't appeal to you.

I do not regret my physics education, and I would encourage young people who are passionate about the subject to pursue it. However, I think that they should go in knowing that unless they intend to stay in academia/research/defense, a physics degree is, at best, a signal of intelligence, and, at worst, a signal of overspecialization in a disparate field.
