At the last investors meeting, battery production is what Elon said is the main bottleneck at this time for model 3s.

AFAIK, all the others are going to get their batteries from third party vendors (except maybe Nissan?). That is going to cause a cost for everyone but Tesla.
I use something like this to set a few global variables at build time.

This keeps my secrets out of the source code.

go build \

-ldflags="\

-X main.programVersion=`git describe` \

-X main.username=$USERNAME \

-X main.password=$PASSWORD"

This isn't perfect, of course, because you can just use strings(1) to find the secrets embedded in the binary, but it is a step up from what they did.

It's fine for our internal go apps. I'm not sure what I would do if the secrets were for connecting to public cloud infrastructure though.

Perhaps encrypt them with a separate key per customer, then feed in the key via an env variable?

Any ideas?
Sure. It's supposed to take 20 seconds to generate all the examples even normally. Anyways here's an example:

On twitter I would get non-stop ads from Boeing pitching their military hardware. I don't understand this, I'm not exactly in the market for buying $1 billion military airplanes and missiles. I've never seen a single ad pitching the quality of their civilian aircraft.

The economics of the situation do mean most passengers won't have a choice in this. Unless airlines cancel their 737MAX orders and continue to run their older 737 NGs for longer while they wait for a new Boeing aircraft or to get A320s at the back of a very looong queue of Airbus orders.

Otherwise that queue of 5,000 or so 737 MAXs is going somewhere. If there's real fear of flying on them then 737 MAX flights will be cheaper and A320/757/etc. flights will be more expensive. Price sensitive flyers will have to choose between flying and not flying.

Fair point! V6s were never really suitable for transverse layouts, but it did at least give us some wonderful sounding cars from the likes of Alfa Romeo and others.
Like so much other crap on the web it owes its existence to the fact that dilettants are inflicting their fumblings on a global audience. Either you ignore the whole bunch or you have to invest energy into filtering the good from the bad. Either way, whining that the new forms of entertainment aren't like the old ones won't achieve anything.

Pretty much every conference with Q&A ever. You can't avoid it in some settings, and sometimes a question will hit some point that the speaker obviously deliberately avoided, but for the most part Q&A is an anti-pattern at events. Provide some forum where the speaker can interact one on one instead.

I remember visiting the local newspaper as a kid, seeing the presses working. The people had a lot of pride in their job. I don't know what the answer is, but it makes me sad that it's becoming less important to people.
It’s a colloquialism and means whatever is possible [and necessary].

When a company says they will do “everything possible,” the statement is not wrong because you can find anything they theoretically could have done but didn’t. English language is not set theory.
It still not clear for the general public (i.e. me) what will happen when MCAS gets disabled due to a faulty sensor. Will there be an increased chance of stall in some difficult situation (low visibility combined with other issues, etc)? If no, then why have MCAS at all? If yes, then does it mean there is still a safety issue overall?

Over thinking, or even just thinking before I learn with my body has always given me problems with physical activity, because I tend to create a bad mental model that I have to unlearn. This has slowed me down the most trying to learn how to fly gliders, and skiing.

One thing I've noticed is that people like myself explain physical activities with words, while people who don't have this issue explain by moving their hands and bodies.
Cynical, but I agree. Plane crash rate always seems to decrease after high-profile malfunctions. Not to mention pilots flying those planes will presumably be on extra alert.
This article assumes it’s a man.

The researcher only uses male pronouns. “This guy…or guys”!

I find it shocking that this gets past the editing room in 2019.
This article is fantastic, because it lays out exactly why I love podcasts.

Podcasts are to audio what punk rock was to music: freedom to be an amateur. Was punk for everyone? Nope. Were punks particularly talented? Some were, but mostly nope. Yet punk became one of the most influential genres of music of all time because it gave you permission to suck.

It's like what's been said about the Velvet Underground: They never made it big, but almost everyone who went to one of their concerts or bought one of their albums started a band of their own. (The same was later said of The Pixies.)

Sure, there's a lot of garbage. But it's real. It's raw. It's people finding their voice.

I couldn't be happier to see the elites complaining about podcasts. Just add it to the pile of people complaining about punk, YouTube, ebook self-publishing, blogging, and all the other ways we're free to express ourselves today.
Actually long oil changes can be better for an engine. Oils break in: the molecules break down over time so they compensate by making the chains longer. As the molecules break down they get closer to the idea size, then the break again and get too short to protect.

Tests on the oils used in my car show that you typically get least engine wear between 8k and 9k miles, with 12k being about the same as fresh oil, but 13k is much worse. Because of the sudden dropoff at 13k and the fact that different driving styles affect breakdown differently 10k is chosen as the best compromise. Newer cars get longer because the computer keeps track of driving styles to give a better change indicator.

> That $US20k seems to be purely marketing bullshit, aimed to sucker US buyers. :(

Why is this a problem? In all luxury cars there are some options priced much higher than the actual cost (e.g. fancy wheels). They exist to bolster the car maker's margins and help sell the lower end versions at lower prices, so you and the average buyers profit. Nobody actually needs Ludicrous, so pricing it like this is in no way immoral.
But after the second crash of the revamped Max model, a poll conducted by Business Insider suggested 53 per cent of American adults never want to fly on a 737 Max, even once it's deemed safe to do so

It's Business Insider using the results of a Survey Monkey poll to make wild claims about the views of more than 100 million American adults.
That's not racist. The Wikipedia definition is the belief in the superiority of another [0], which this doesn't fit.

Has nobody considered that blacks are a minority and therefore there is less data available for training or testing? This might always be the case, simply because there are fewer in America (where Apple designs it's phones).

That assumes that the fundamental organizational/lack of oversight issues that led to the MCAS fiasco, didn’t lead to other, more fundamental problems that cannot be resolved (and worse, could not be identified on review).
I feel your pain. I started in 2008 and have been running various R&D related development contracts through the same core employer but am in the process of moving locations.

When I interviewed around 2008, there was whiteboarding, but only psuedo code based which I could do just fine. The majority of interviews focused on questions regarding time/space complexity trade offs, design choices, etc. not on-the-fly fully optimized implementation solutions, first pass. The worst thing I ran into was having to write merge sort as the FizzBizz of the time.

Now, it's an absolute circus. Most in the industry really don't know what they're looking for and how to adequately assess abilities. They're far more concerned with trivia and memory recall and filtering any remote risk of a false negative than actually accomplishing the tasks for the position at hand.

The current process is very well designed on multiple fronts to attempt to delegitimize professionals and is quite optimized at grabbing fresh grads desperate for work experience or finding cheaper labor without raising red flags on illegal hiring processes. Why people have put up with this practice boggles my mind.

The vast majority of roles don't need Alan Turing, Donald Knuth, or Jon von Neumann to accomplish some basic business goals so let's be realistic and stop pretending they do.
Unless you want to work for the rest of your life, you either earn more now, or keep earning for a longer period.

It all comes back to that Reddit comment [1] which pretty much sums it up: Boeing is internally a dumpster fire, and they have zero regard for actual safe engineering.

I recently tried to integrate to Wirecard for one of my projects and it was a nightmare. Documentation sucked and once we spent 7 days connecting they told us that the API was being deprecated and we have to migrate to a new one which turn out to be 30 days of more integration. Fun time.
Pure speculation, but I expect they will have to lose the equivalence certification with 737 (one of the key elements of the MCAS fiasco). Pilots will need to undergo additional training on the 737 MAX to understand the flight characteristics without MCAS.

That additional training will cause some cash bleed but is not a huge deal.

To be clear, multiple pilots have come out saying that flying without MCAS doesn't present any additional stall risk. It just requires additional training to handle the plane. MCAS only existed to allow for this equivalence certification and bypass the need for pilot training. Maybe they will remove MCAS entirely since training is now likely to be required no matter what.

While I agree with your overall point, I am not sure I would attribute defeatism to the rest of the world so much as the West. It is the West that is set to remove any form of commonality and turn to a state of legalized corruption and nepotism. The Chinese, Russians and Arabs are just copying the West. They are the ones getting the high-rises, roads and subways. And people are actually seeing progress.

If the West ever returns to the idea of democratic society where everyone should have access to education, housing and good working conditions. Where we run our countries, our infrastructure and invest in scientific progress together. And where we believe that running businesses in line with the values of society is better. Then they would want democracy as well.

Why can’t we do both ?
I can’t get access to the website. It’s under too much load. Could you describe the model a bit?
I think a wise move would be to rename the thing?

"737 Ultimate", "737 Safejack", or whatever?
It's more like whatever we think appropriate. Why don't they say so? Because it has a clear meaning, while everything possible suggests they will go out of their way, without actually promising it. I think it's only fair to call them out on these weasel words.
Most people don't even know the name of the plane, those who know rarely remember to check for it, and the rest that do will have forgotten in a few months.

> its not true that libvirt adds nothing of value, it adds easy networking support, easy snapshots, a nice gui interface, a very nice remote protocol and clients (that seamlessly support both graphical and serial output, aswell as on the fly reconfiguration of VMs without restarting them), template VMs (including one time initial provision setup), easy support for storage pools including remote ones, an easy way to manipulate RAM usage on live VMs, easy PCI and USB passthrough, live migration to other hosts, etc etc.

everything libvirt does can be done without it by talking to qemu directly. and yes, Ive done many of the above "by hand", it was easier to read man qemu and other qemu docs than to swallow libvirt.
Well let me know when sports stars sack a city and lead to massive damages and people still decide to keep on doing it that way. (Third Servile war - although slavery was involved.)

The cultural changes that led to this being possible in the first place took decades to occur. It will take longer than the time 737 MAX will be grounded for Boeing to heal itself, assuming the current leadership is even capable of doing so.

Only after Boeing can fully own the systemic failures which led to this tragedy can this work begin.

IMO we will know that process has only just begun after several very high ranking resignations or firings.

I know people are arguing about how much a port to a 30 year old system could really harm them, but I think it's a twofold issue of precedent leading to dilution: If they allow this, what about a port of (same or other mario game) to (same or other platform)?
Very true. However, it would be better than all the demented proposals floating about.

The truth is that, short of a ground-braking discovery of a kind that is hard to describe we are not going to "save the plante" for thousands of years. No matter what we do.

We need to stop talking about destroying entire economies, solar panels, killing cars, trains and planes, and the ridiculous idea of buying carbon credits (really?) and start talking about the reality of this problem.

It is a planetary scale problem with a natural rate of change in the order of 100 ppm per 50,000 years. Anyone talking about "saving the planet" for the next generation or anything even remotely close needs to explain how we are going to accelerate this rate of change a thousand-fold without killing everyone in the process and using-up more energy than this planet can produce.

Basic scientific principle: You don't get something for nothing. If you are going to produce a planetary-scale change at 1000x the natural rate the side effects could be worse than the problem.

As I said before multiple times, the natural rate of change is what happened when humanity basically wasn't here --certainly our cities, power plants, planes, etc. were not here. Simple conclusion: If we destroy and eliminate ALL of humanity and all things we built it would take about 50,000 years to reduce atmospheric CO2 by 100 ppm. Anyone claiming to make a 1000x improvement to this rate of change while we are all still here (and our toys) has a supernatural problem to answer for.

Yes, sure, let's stop polluting unnecessarily. Swapping lawns and mowers for trees seems like a win-win at many levels. You stop producing pointless pollution, reduce water waste and convert carbon into trees. After that we need to look at reforestation at a massive scale.

I guess my point is that trees is the only "technology" we know we can deploy at scale without killing everyone on this planet in the process and using-up so much energy and resources that we'll create a larger problem.
Listen carefully to this interview, might be interesting as well regarding the problems at Boeing. Problems with the dreamliner as well, told by a whistle-blower, former quality manager, at Boeing.

While Postgres supports hierarchical data in the form of JSON, that doesn't mean it's a form of relational data, it just means Postgres supports both.

Clojure doesn't have good tools in its core library for working with relational data. There's no core type that explicitly represents a relation, and Clojure lacks functions for many basic relational algebra operations. For example, how would you perform a natural join across your data structure?
3-4h 1kW heat sounds reasonable. If that's less than say 3% of total range, or less than $1k extra battery then I'm confident it's a sufficient solution.
Oh, the folder crunching is annoying! I even went so far as to reduce the numbers of folders that i had so that they all display without any crunching, AND without my needing to apply another click just to expand the view to see them...Then i asked myself WTF? I'm changing my way of working because of crappy UI decisions by gmail designers? But instead of re-building up more folders, just kept with the minimal amount of folders...and then i tried to use search...Meh. Now, I'm trying to get to inbox-near-zero (achieving true zero is silly and excessive i think). My becoming ruthless with incoming emails (again only to near-zero) has felt ok - not great, but ok. none of this is because of some great feature from gmail mind you. (Gosh, i really wish i could use native thunderbird on the desktop of my work's computer!)
This is my concern as well. It's terrible that the 737 MAX got into service with these flaws.

But I'm more frightened that this shows major shortcomings in our regulatory system, with no clear indications that they'll be addressed.
> A second wave of issues would present an existential threat to Boeing, they are aware of this and you can be sure that every design element is being triple checked to make sure nothing at all is missed from the MCAS issue or anything else.

Sort of like how Samsung recalled the note 7 when it started catching fire? They did "extensive testing", claimed to have fixed the issue and then re-released it with a green battery icon in the header only to have them catch fire again?

No, I call bullshit. Companies aren't always as smart or as cautious as you give them credit for. Especially when they're bleeding money because of a recall. The pressures internally to patch and release are huge. If it's safer when it comes back it will be solely due to the FAA's work.
nah, they are just the default heroes that exist in Warcraft 3 Reign of Chaos and Frozen Throne, which is easily discerned by the names and the fact the races are listed as titles and the Neutral heroes doesn't have a race mentioned in English

It's part of the whole tech self-important "Always be hustling" schtick. The same people who want an abstract at the beginning of every article that isn't written in inverted pyramid style.

That said, I've never liked talk radio (or even radio in general) very much. And am certainly not a fan of meandering chit-chat style podcasts. A lot of podcasts could also probably stand to be shorter as could many presentations. But even a simple 20-30 minute interview conveys information and nuance in a way that a transcript or article doesn't necessarily.

ADDED: There are of course also produced shows that are more than just the words spoken just as a film is more than a paragraph synopsis of the plot.
