> There's some people who say that because the longer 737 is less stable in pitch it should have never been built, and I think that's over the top.

I know that aerodynamic instability requiring continuous correction by fly-by-wire systems has become common on fighter jets because it's necessary to achieve some of the maneuvering characteristics necessary to make them competitive. These are, of course very different priorities from commercial passenger aircraft.

Has a jetliner been certified before the 737 MAX that is aerodynamically unstable in any of the tests that it's required to pass without control inputs made by the computer without direct input from the pilot, or in contravention of the pilot's input? I know Airbus is fond of its "do what I mean" system, but that in some circumstances, Airbus flight control systems revert to essentially emulating an analog airplane. Would their flight characteristics pass certification in that mode?
Reminds me of stories I hear about rarely anyone who is in an NGO that manages or tries to help refugees has been in a camp or a refugee in their past, and when they actually get into those organizations, see how out of touch they are.

Ex:
" I went to endless meetings on refugee shelter and nobody ever invited a single refugee. I only ever saw one refugee at a meeting about refugee shelter, it was a doctor from Canada who had grown up in a refugee camp in Africa. She had become quite a senior doctor and when she came in it was like an axe murder. She was unbelievably angry, and she literally just called out every single thing the speaker said that wasn’t true."

"the boss lady from UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) come around to inspect the shelters refuse to set foot inside of it. She was fucking furious that one had been built there. The fear that they had was the the Hexayurts were too cheap and they lasted too long. They were afraid that what was going to happen was that every place that they built them the locals were going to look at them and say That’s actually pretty good, and start building them themselves. And I’m just like, Does that not solve the fucking problem? Is that not what we want—local resilience? The more you find out about how these systems run the worse the expectation gets. It’s very messy. "

>"It also helps that I have absolutely nothing to lose and can walk into the room refreshed and cool as a cucumber, while the candidate has a job on the line and has already been hit with at least a couple of really tough and nerve-wracking technical questions"

And yet I'm guessing you don't own the company where you are exhibiting this sociopathic behavior. If so why do you feel it's acceptable to represent someones else's company like this? You sound like the person whose been at the same place for too long but rather than searching out new challenges elsewhere just stays put and creates toxicity.
Very nice article!

Minor nit:
> there’s now a standardized bool with true/false (also not built-in but defined in stdbool.h)

C99 introduced _Bool, which is a built-in.

stdbool.h defines bool as an alias to it (unless compiling as C++, which then gets left alone as the native C++ bool).
I would point out I'm not exclusively referring to men here, which it appears you've taken it as. Short and ugly women also have lesser luck in life.

I do agree that in general the loosening of the shackles of societal expectation will make space for changes, but I don't think it would actually have an appreciable effect.
The relevant bit in "Why do you want to work for our company" is the unstated "...as oppose to another." Ideally the answer is some property of the company that aligns well with the candidates ideals. But it presupposes that the candidate knows of some attribute that fits this frame.

A better question might be to make the company attribute hypothetical. Something like: "if you could propose a rule for all employees at the company where you want to work, what would it be." You'd definitely need follow-up questions and promoting, but it could be way more insightful.

I don't know anything about mission statements, valuations, IPOs, or yoga. I do know a little about regression, though, and that regression line is pure bullshit. (Ironic, considering what they're purporting to analyze.) The downward trend is mostly due to a single high leverage[1] outlier[2] in the upper left. Take that out, and you still have a datset that not only exhibits heteroskedasticity[3] (much higher variance on the left than on the right) which invalidates many of the assumptions of ordinary least squares regression[4]. Even if it didn't, the slope is so mild, the sample size so small, and the residual variance so large that's there's no way you're going to be able to reject the hypothesis that the true slope is equal to zero[5].

I recommend you throw away the scatter plot and regression line and instead use Kendall's tau[6], a non-parametric statistic which considers only the rank order of each variable and is therefore appropriate for ordinal variables like the 0-9 "bullshit" scale.

Leaders are leaders. You can't trust anyone with power if they want power, but you have to give someone power. The contradictory demands make people make weird decisions, because trustworthy people seem infinitely scarce.

Money is a diversion from destructive uses of power, besides being a response to apparent lack of supply.
There's a reference to one of the 'value-add's of commercial journals being copy-editing:

> "For example, most of PLoS ONE’s editors are working scientists, and the journal does not perform functions such as copy-editing."

But, in fact, in my personal experience, the for-profit journals don't really do copy-editing anyway, but in fact introduce new errors into the paper which then the author has to pain-stakingly track down (or not).
I just tried "Don't patronize me" to Korean and got 나를 애용하지 마십시오, or something like "Do not use me with satisfaction/love." Umm...
Good points, though I'd argue that for a certification flight, you still want to both emphasize conventional operational training and activities and a minimum set of qualifications for those.
This sounds like a fairly good representation of true white noise:

Sorry, I didn’t explain that bit well at all - it’s not the medallion itself that makes it safer but when the supply is limited it’s easier for the government to set pretty strict rules. And, because the supply is artificially limited, the cost of compliance is more than “worth it" to the medallion holders. It’s not just being a landlord, there are a lot of obligations that come along with it.

It’s not something we care about in 2019 but medallion owners are required to provide a radio to drivers. That’s really important from a safety perspective before we all had cellphones. Without the medallion system a radio in a taxi would have been a safety luxury that most drivers couldn’t afford.

Medallion owners are also required to install the machines to accept credit cards. That helps the drivers not carry too much cash and again is a bigger investment than what a typical driver would be able to make on their own. Knocking down this barrier to entry is basically the only way Uber was able to exist. How many people would sign up to pick up strangers from the internet while carrying hundreds of dollars of cash? Not many, unless they really needed the money. But sex workers have to do that all the time because banking regulations make it almost impossible for them to even get a bank account let alone process a transaction for sex work.

There are also maximum lease rates that medallion holders are allowed to rent the taxis out to drivers. That goes a long way towards stopping the financial exploitation of a taxi driver who might be struggling to get out of a difficult financial situation or sending money back home to their family in another country. It’s also enforceable. So if a medallion owner is taking too much of a driver’s money the driver has recourse. When a pimp is stealing money from a sex worker they don’t have any recourse to stop it.

Another way that people in difficult financial situations are often exploited is through insane work schedules. It’s hard to say no to an extra shift when you need the cash. Medallions come with a limit on the number of hours in a row one driver can operate the vehicle.

Medallions also set prices, so the odds of getting into a dispute over the cost are pretty low. There’s no “he said she said” about the price after the fact. And if a customer doesn’t pay its easy for the driver to tell the police exactly what they’re owed.

And (at least until Uber came along) the cost of a medallion was so high that it wasn’t worth the risk of having it suspended or revoked.
Maybe conferences isn't a great metric there have been a bunch of cancellations like SYNC and Clojure West. People have already mentioned Incanter in this thread, one of many abandoned and out of date libraries. Lacinia is nice, but a killer app? What language doesn't have a GraphQL library? Have many partially supported editors doesn't make better tooling. Clojure still has potential, but by every other metric, besides conferences (
> Look around the BBQ in the back yard at any party anywhere in 'merica and you'll find the guys hanging out and chatting away from their wives.

I don't know about your experience. But my experience: BBQs are typically a party situation with your household and others. If it's just the guys that's a friends thing.

> Look at sports teams in your high schools, colleges, and local clubs and you'll find men hanging out together.

I haven't heard of such of a clubs.

> Look at Men's bible study groups or similar if that's your thing.

I'll agree with you on this. That qualifies for what I was suggesting. It's a social thing and gets people to talk.

> Go to the local men's barber shop and find a bunch of guys getting haircuts.

Is that an environment that guys would open up? Most of these places tend to be "mind your own business and lets not talk that much" kinds of places.
This is awesome! Never know if anyone build things like Segment. I will try this alternative solution to our company and will keep update here about the result.

Stoicism as a personal philosophy or cultural norm? For the former, I’d say nothing. But for the later I think it’s unfortunate. There are many ways to live a life and many philosophies. Stoicism may work for you, but maybe the next guy needs a good cry without getting harassed for it.
Don't underestimate the value of doing nothing.

People who can be bribed with money not to use power to wreck things are perhaps scarcer than the average person realizes.

Nature, Science, et al. have two important jobs:

1) Being a good filter, increasing S:N, so you don't have to waste time sieving bullshit yourself

2) Choosing pretty fonts, promoting good stylistic standards and guidelines (which scientists, unfortunately, usually tend not to do great on if left to their devices)

It is I think an acceptable argument that charging an exorbitant price for articles is a bit of a scam, but I don't think it's fair to say that they should earn 0, or that the value they create is of 0 price. Consider that each of Science, Nature, Cell employ a couple hundred employees. If you want a good sieve, you've gotta hire talented editors, if you want articles that are easy to read and easy to understand, you've gotta hire talented graphics artists. Suddenly, this doesn't seem so easy and cheap.
Hes talking about dating aps though.
> you have to listen to actual sex workers and ask them what they want.

This is what was I was responding to. The article I linked talks more on this sentiment, which generally ends up doing the same as Amazon warehouse workers chiming in on Twitter about how much they love their jobs: defending exploitation by appealing to the convenient ideologies of individuals.
"managing 1000 workers is 1000 times more valuable than the work those workers do"
sounds like it's referring to the total work. At least it's ambiguous and ill-phrased if it means one worker.

MMOs are happily two orders of magnitude easier to write today. Before game engines you can license or get for free really existed, it was just you, the compiler, and a text editor, which rapidly turned into many people, the compiler, your editors, and pain.

I worked at Turbine off and on from 2001-2012, and was the MMO game engine tech lead in the time period up to when Lord of the Rings Online and Dungeons & Dragons Online shipped (2003-2005). Both were based on the same game engine core, which was a more or less complete rewrite of everything in the game engine (client and server) from the original Asheron's Call. Many of the concepts carried over, but the implementation was completely different. To this day, I still think this "G2" engine got many things right in its internals that many other game engines (MMO or otherwise) didn't really get, probably because everyone who worked on it was crazy but actually pretty nice and reasonable to work with. Some friends who ended up working at Unity or Epic from Turbine that I've talked with think the same. It certainly made many questionable assumptions as well.

I got quite burned out from the rewrite (well over 1 million lines of C++ redone between 5-6ish people) and went part time/remote in 2006, left in 2007, came back in 2009 part time/remote again to help port the stuff to PS3 and Xbox 360 for projects that eventually got cancelled. My last six months (I stopped giving a shit at this point) was doing nothing but porting much of the client code to Mac OS X, which consisted of fixing endless compiler errors and patching up library/API differences in hundreds of thousands of lines of client code. This was actually kind of therapeutic because much of it was mindless.

I do smile a bit when realizing that code I wrote on ~16 years ago is still plugging along in some datacenter somewhere and on people's PCs, long after the company and the people who worked on it have scattered to the winds. Many of the core team that worked on it back in that time period went on to found some companies (game or otherwise), are working at places like Google and Facebook, or remained in the industry at Epic Games and Unity and various game studios.
>"The writing is charming and approachable, while still packed with an impressive amount of knowledge."

Agreed. I came here to say the same. "Charming" and "approachable" sums up the writing style nicely. I'm always excited when there's a new chapter.
Its not illegal to have a private club with membership rules that exclude women. There are still several golf clubs that do so. In fact in the US its not even illegal to openly discriminate in hiring as long as the business has less 14 employees. In California that number goes down to 5 employees and local laws may be stricter still.
>You are getting WORSE care for the same price when you see an NP or PA.

I am skeptical of this statement on average.
You don't need socialism to have universal healthcare. Above in the thread I said that we're already paying for universal healthcare right here in the US: you can't be denied care. It's just that the system grew a ton of perverse incentives and it's not in any way capitalist. Case in point: you can't even get the prices ahead of time for the most part, and doctors treat inquiries about pricing as a personal insult. Therefore there's no way to look for a lower price. That's the goddamn cornerstone of capitalism. So before we throw the baby out with the bathwater maybe we should try what this country is good at: capitalism and competition? Or would you rather give another few trillion dollars to dense government bureaucrats to piss away on whatever lobbyists tell them to piss it away on? People keep forgetting just how corrupt and inept the US government is and has always been.
How many life-years will the US standard of care coming down to the rest of the developed world cost me?

I can enumerate how much the cost of care coming down to that of the rest of the developed world is going to save me. You tell me there's a cost to this. Great. What is it? What exactly are we getting for the ridiculous money that we dump into your industry?

Related question: How many years of life do I buy from your billing guy spending $100 of his time to argue with my insurance company's billing guy (whose time also cost $100), over a $500 procedure? Because as far as I can tell, the net win for me in this transaction is that the procedure you performed costs me $700 net, instead of $500.
Concorde's Safety Flight System is in some ways similar to MCAS, in that it'll nudge elevons itself.

I don't know if Airbus would meet certification requirements in direct control law. I suspect not. Definitely not in mechanical control law.

Just like more conventional jetliners wouldn't meet certification guidelines without all of their control rigging, counterweights, and trim systems. It's just now tempting to make adjustments to those systems with software instead of fiddling with everything else.
The freedom to not be prosecuted for a victimless crime should be a constitutional right.
The best solution remains in my opinion browserslist-targeted compiling. I don't think it makes sense to pretend you can/should write non-trivial JS today without a build step, especially if you're worried optimizing delivery. Are you seriously going to fret about delivering unnecessary polyfills to modern browsers while simultaneously delivering unoptimized code and styles because you felt like going old school?

You can write tomorrow's JS and CSS today while explicitly supporting whichever of yesterday's browsers you know you need to, and have the delivered code improve over time as older browsers are phased out without you having to rewrite it.
I have direct knowledge of an ophthalmologist splitting surgeries over two days that could have been done in one session, because it nearly doubles their billings.

They justify it by pointing at their less educated yet better-compensated college buddies working in finance. I've seen similar bad money-optimizing behavior from PCPs (e.g. it was insisted to me that I schedule an appt for lab results, which was justified by a lie about HIPAA preventing me from being able to get them over the phone).

The rot goes deep.
Thanks for this. You may have heard that some time after AC was shut down, an AC server build somehow leaked and the community has now got a basically true/pure emulated server setup now. I can now go back to my first MMO safely whenever :)

Ad hominem arguments are very much out of place here. You have points that don't require an ad hominem yet you chose to use them anyway. I can't understand why, it only weakens your argument.

Ross' reaction is quite bizarre. If a woman wrote a letter complaining about being catcalled and verbally abused in public, would you accuse her of "expecting that the streets are in some way hers"?

A title like "Crafting Interpreters" on this gets my hopes up. I expect something about building an emulator like Qemu, MAME, or Xenia.

For a programming language, you'd want to use terms like "parser" and hopefully "compiler", not an unqualified "interpreter".

If it’s not a binary, it’s still a very much bimodal distribution. Ironically, the notion that gender is either a binary or a spectrum is a false dichotomy. It’s obviously a bimodal distribution with most, but not all, people clustered around one of the two peaks.
> How do they become anything other than a glorified taxi company?

Just curious, what's wrong with that? A global taxi dispatching service that's always available, always (debatably) efficiently routing drivers to passengers sounds like a game-winning plan. Regular taxi dispatching services weren't doing these things well, on top of just sucking since they had no real competition for so long.
I agree that ad hominem is of dubious utility; however, here I'd argue this is not an ad hominem in that I made no judgment of the poster, but rather pointed out he has frequently posted on this topic, calling for "investigation of medical cartels by the FTC" and claiming we are "overtrained", and that it is time to "end the Flexner tyranny".

They also heavily advocate for midlevel care as a replacement for physicians because we are "overtrained".

I think the difference, in purely the speaking aspect is that men are more hierarchical while women are more communal. A man will ask a trusted man, usually higher in that particular hierarchy, for advice. Women will gather in groups and complain as a mechanism for problem solving, emotional release, and bonding. Men bond and have emotional release in different ways. I think both groups tend to have similar benefits from their respective actions.
