> You should come to my workplace and tell this to actual scientists

I would be happy to do that if your workplace is not too far away and you want to invite me to speak.

> I also object to you saying "better explanation" without defining what that is. What makes something "better"?

The short version of the answer to that is: a superior explanation is one that explains more phenomena with fewer ad hoc assumptions and free parameters. (There are other characteristics of good explanations. For example, they are hard to change without losing their explanatory power. The classic example of a bad explanation that runs afoul of this criterion is Ptolemaic epicycles: why circles? Why not some other shape? It turns out that any shape can actually be used to construct Ptolemaic epicycles because what Ptolemy actually discovered was Fourier analysis, though he didn't realize it at the time.)

The long version of the answer is: read Popper. Or David Deutsch.
Yeah, but who is going to want to fly in one again? Even working in aviation in the past and knowing that they've probably nailed the issue, I'd still be less than keen.
In the late 80's / early 90's, I ran a service that collected and transferred Usenet news and email betwwen BBS systems and the rest of the world (using UUCP). Eventually I got a live Internet feed to run it all more efficiently, and very regularly dealt with adventurous hackers continually breaking in to my server. I actually didn't hate that because none of it ever got destructive, and I thought it was wildly clever. The pre-web Internet was a whole different world compared to now.

Over time, keeping my hobby business together taught me a whole lot about what eventually became known as a firewall. I was continually building firewall features (which I referred to as a fortified gateway because firewalls didn't really exist yet) and creating test cases to find new vulnerabilities and guard against them first. It was heavily influenced by a sort of "audit" script that was making its rounds that identified poorly configured (vulnerable) services, except that I was scripting cases for vulnerabilities I was finding on my own server, and also by watching what the clever hackers were up to. I got to know a lot of them personally, funny enough.

It was actually a lot of fun. Otherwise I would have just given up and worked at McD's or whatever.

When BBS's started to get their own more efficient feeds and didn't need my silly slow service anymore - in the mid 90's - I was approached by a company that built firewalls (they finally became a thing!), and ended up working in infosec ever since.

My intention was to raise enough money from the side hobby to put out an instrumental metal album. No album yet, but I certainly made a career out of penetration testing that lasted decades. Now I'm winding down, doing more advisory work, leaving the grunt work to the whippersnappers.

So, if you're looking for a wicked lead axeman, ring me up. Eventually I might get that album happening.
Collaborative editing is not something you can just bolt on after the fact if you want it to actually work well. Things like building a robust server that can be exposed to the internet can certainly wait, but how you are you supposed to develop a plugin ecosystem when you haven't even settled on a conceptual model for how to store and manipulate text yet?
What I would recommend to everyone in their 20s is to get a mentor who has been in the workforce for 30-40+ years.

You will learn and hear invaluable stories on how companies treat employees, how firing works, how being fired is and generally just meaningful information that will put your own present misery into perspective and prepare you for the things to come.
Kind of ironic that an article complaining about ISP practices served me an uncloseable scam ad. Mote, beam and all that.
So you don't believe Vega can be identified by the pattern of star visible around it?
Those buildings survived, lots of haphazard buildings were not crafted, but bungled together overtime, most didn't survive; so there is a selection bias at work. I actually like the imperfections. I would prefer that we build and tear down so that our cities are dynamic as opposed to creating things that can never be changed and never adapt. Sometimes that's ok, but if that is the only way we build, large areas will end up stuck in time and useless.
these houses have nothing on monolithic domes.
Yes, but those costs are still disproportionately low compared to road wear and value per trip. Cars and light trucks pay fuel taxes simply because regressive, automatically applied taxes are easy to collect and aren’t challenged by effective legislation.

Is Conference Speaking Worthwhile?
> Meanwhile, there are people I personally know who were BORN in the US in one of those communities, and they barely speak more than just the very basics, despite their community not being an isolated one at all.

Really? Outside of communities that educate their children in their own language second generation children everywhere generally end up fluent speakers of the language of instruction, even in communities where their home language speakers are a plurality or majority of a school population. You do see Indian and Chinese kids in Silicon Valley with accents intermediate between FOB and more general Californian but they speak English perfectly.
Confessions of a Proud Beta Male
There could be experiments that confirm the claim even if none contradict it. For example, the immaterial man cannot be detected in any empirical way, and there is no experiment that can falsify his existence. However, he can choose to materialize in front of everyone, confirming his existence.
What regulations are you referring to?

Yes, it's true that it would be have been free from this specific MCAS issue. But what other issues would a new design have had? It's impossible to know.

It's also true that if Boeing had done a better job of implementing the MCAS design it would have been viewed as a triumph of software solving hardware problems.

Air France 447 crashed in large part because the pilot flying was incapable of handling the aircraft at cruise speeds without software assisting him. He thought the plane would stop him from doing something stupid but it didn't because the software failed in a somewhat similar way to the MCAS failures (sensor failure).

Airbus hasn't done anything to make their planes easier to fly at cruises speeds without software because software assisting pilots with complex flight characteristics is a fundamentally sound idea. The important thing is that the software actually works. Clearly the first version MCAS did not work reliably but there is no reason to believe that it couldn't work reliably.
Would they be interested in collaborating with me on this project? My email address is listed on my GitHub profile: https://github.com/indutny/

Thank you!
It’s like seeing someone make a half court shot in basketball at the buzzer and wondering why other players don’t do the same. You could adjust the probability to it being a 3 pt shot, dunk, or free throw.

The failures in the Boeing 737 introduced a significant probability of unrecoverable failure. The fact that a few pilots managed to recover does not mean that the ones who didn’t recover did something wrong.

On the other hand, the fact that 2 crews with over decades of safely flying planes were unable to recover from the same plane indicates it had a lot to do with the issues in the plane.
I’ve heard user experience designers pushing for UI so simple that the least experienced human can use it, but making ape-friendliness the standard seems to be taking intuitive design a step too far.
Haha, I love all the comments for this article.

I'm not sure how you arrived at that conclusion. I said that certain malls that are known to use underpaid and underskilled laborers suffer from cut corners. That does not mean that all cut corners are a result of underpaid and underskilled labor.

Easy Anti-Cheat Is Still Supported for Linux, a Statement from Epic Games
Helium party balloons are Evil. They escape and end up as non-decomposable trash in the wilderness. This is not a theoretic concern: I usually find one or more every year.

This has been known for a long time and it causes a painful amount of eye-rolling among cognitive linguists.

When you carefully track the amount of time participants spend practicing the language, children don't perform better.

Kids are forced to speak the native language at school and get ~1 hour a day of grammar lessons. Just because a kid can explain a biological process doesn't mean they are "innately" better at grasping scientific concepts than adults. It just means we were working while they were in biology class.

Some of the "learn a language young" hype is driven by MRI studies that show kids who learn young process the second language in a different area of the brain than adults. But processing "centers" aren't in the same place from person to person, they float around.

For english speakers there is no economic benefit to learning a second language either. So (as long as you are a native english speaker) don't spend any additional resources teaching your kids a second language.

> If you have trouble understanding Texans, Liverpudlians, or Scots, that's your problem, not theirs.

It's actually far more their problem than that of anyone else. Disregarding problems of understanding, many accents have negative connotations, especially those considered rural.

By contrast, speaking "Oxford English", one would not have trouble being understood by virtually any English speaker, nor would there be any negative connotations except maybe being considered "posh".
I know reading Japanese isn't easy, but the pronunciation part is pretty regular and easy enough for an English speaker right? I don't think I've heard much Japanese that I just went "nope...could never say that" like I do with Russian, Mandarin, Finnish...etc.

Of course I'm just monolingual and don't know anything :)
Spelling aside French isn’t really more difficult than Spanish. Neither language is terribly difficult when you compare it to Hebrew, Arabic, Russian or Japanese but German grammar is definitely more complex than French and that’s where most of the difficulty is in Category 1 and 2 languages, not the phoneme inventory or vocabulary, with their masses of cognates with English.
And this is my problem how?
Pivotal tracker?

We use basecamp but not specifically for dev stuff. It may be combined with toggl for time tracking.

My experience is that trying to have a precise current estimate at all times is a lot of work... do you really absolutely need this?

Basecamp is phenomenal for organizing communication around tasks projects and vision but doesn’t care much about timing although it’s possible to schedule tasks and see them on a calendar.

Oracle DB is deeply embedded in some mission critical "octopus" systems that touch large swaths of an enterprise (PeopleSoft, SAP, TIBCO ESB). It's disruptive, expensive, and time consuming to rip out the guts of your enterprise, particularly if you're not an IT business. Inertia is a hell of a drug.

I did a ton of research when I got my place, about the area and all its quirk. It was fine. I bought it, then 2 years later a nearby airport changed their software which modified some flight routes, and more importantly lowered the altitude planes flew over extremely densely populated areas, making them incredibly noisy. All this happened in the name of saving fuel.

Now I haven't opened the windows in years, especially not at night (else its impossible to sleep), the outdoor deck is unusable except for days where planes don't actually fly over because of wind direction, etc. Starting to plan selling the place partly because of it. Fortunately a lot of people swear until they're blue in the face that this isn't happening (even though its easy to find proof), so resell value isn't affected.
I've had a lot of trouble entering the Windows serial numbers when installing Windows. The B and 8 look alike, ditto for O and 0. I've had to use a magnifying glass on it.

This kind of thing is a pet peeve of mine. So many codes require digits and letters these days -- why not just digits?! It would be so much more user friendly, especially when using a smartphone keyboard.

I'd be very curious to know what drove that decision to recommend enabling encryption in the first place. That seems like an odd way to "solve a problem with backups", particularly given the huge risks inherent to irresponsible key management. It almost sounds like their original support engineer proposed this as a fix during a ticket. Normally something like this is something you'd plan out, test, and do risk analysis with the business rather than have your on-call deploy it in the middle of the night because John Q. Engineer said you should.
> Indeed, the literature of CRDT does specify a mathematically correct answer. But this does not always line up with what humans would find the most faithful rendering of intent.

This is a very salient point that anyone thinking of using CRDTs to "solve" synchronization in an user-facing application needs to take into consideration. Yes, CRDTs will guarantee that clients converge to an identical, mathematically "consistent" state eventually, but there's no guarantee whether or not that mathematically "consistent" state would make any sense to the application business logic that needs to consume that state, or to the human that needs to reason about the rendered result. That is a completely different can of worms that we'll still have to tackle to build a usable application.

Here's great example to illustrate this from Martin Kleppmann's talk on this topic: https://youtu.be/yCcWpzY8dIA?t=2634

Rest of the talk is also highly recommended for anyone interested in an approachable primer on CRDTs.

The trade-offs to CRDTs mentioned by the author in the context of text-editors make sense, but I would be curious to hear from the Xray team on what their current thinking on the topic is, given that they have collaborative editing as an explicit core objective (which might shift the value prop in favor of using CRDTs relatively speaking since in Xi it seems to be only an aspirational goal), and that their approach to implementation was similar but not quite identical to Xi's:

> Our use of a CRDT is similar to the Xi editor, but the approach we're exploring is somewhat different. Our current understanding is that in Xi, the buffer is stored in a rope data structure, then a secondary layer is used to incorporate edits. In Xray, the fundamental storage structure of all text is itself a CRDT. It's similar to Xi's rope in that it uses a copy-on-write B-tree to index all inserted fragments, but it does not require any secondary system for incorporating edits.

Thats a perfectly fine diesel-plane - we can rebuild it, we had the technology.
The fact that govt owned/regulated monopolies make sense in some industries does not contradict what the OP says.

A very obvious example in India is the Indian airline industry. As an intern I worked with an investment bank on preparing a pitch for the sale of a private Indian airline, and the entire thing basically hinged on what the government wanted to do with the national airlines (which since then have been merged). The Indian government’s recent inability to sell Air India has led them to take action that, at least to an outside observer who did some pretty in depth research, albeit a decade ago, appears to have been driven by reducing competition for the government airline.
i guess this is a silly question but a company that holds my Us Dollars in a electronic account is called a Bank.

A company that holds my stocks and shares (which easily convert into US dollars) in an account is called a Broker or a Bank

So why is a company that holds my loyalty points (which also convert to US dollars) not also called a Bank (and regulated as such?)
Interesting concept. I did 62 sentences and got "⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️" as a rating but none of my last 5 are matched up. I figured it would be pretty easy to pick me out as I use http://mkweb.bcgsc.ca/carpalx/?full_optimization as my main layout and thought that would make my key distances very unique.

On a usability front I echo that the "␣" is definitely confusing, especially next to a ",".

It is perceived as faster by the users, and that's the only standard of speed that users really care about.
I agree that the GUI situation is a glass-half-full sort of thing, I'm just saying it needs that as a priority if they want any network effect.

> The patch command [0] has a propose subcommand that describes what you're talking about.

Yeah but in the tutorial it says it will fail to work if you are on a different branch from master - I took it to mean that the patch command can only target the same branch it was generated on. If that's the case, obviously the maintainer can then do the manual merge-and-delete routine; I'm just saying that on github it's a one-click operation.

There's actually a few significant barriers that don't block communication but make you sound weird. The biggest one is the pitch accent. Japanese accent rises and falls on two levels (high and low) and this changes the meaning of the word. Natives will usually figure out what you're saying but it's an important part of the language that English speakers struggle with.

Then there's also a few sounds that don't quite match normal English. "r" is more like a sound between "l" and "d". "f" is between "f" and "h". "t" tends to be a bit more of a solid sound than usual English. All in all as a current learner I've been surprised at how many hurdles there have been.

Very interesting! I don't think that I ever had a sample from a non-standard keyboard layout in the dataset.

While it might sound like this should make your samples very different from others, it could actually act the other way and confuse the network. Hopefully, this will be improved in the next version of it, which I'll start training right after this data collection sprint.
