I mean, sometimes I think about the days of yore when people could punch each other and the fight would resolve itself, and maybe that happened in the past and maybe I'm just thinking it happened like that.

I think with physical violence, it can escalate. You punch me and "win" the fight, next time I come back with a few friends and the fight may get worse over time. And that's just assuming it's only punches. If knives or guns are involved, it can escalate really fast, and perpetuate unresolved for years, if not generations.

And I agree with you that the violence is just taking other forms. One can't punch another, so instead, we shame that person, humiliate them, embarrass them in front of their friends and loved ones. I sometimes have fear of posting on public forums, saying something that will make someone angry, and then receiving an onslaught of comments ridiculing me and beyond.

So while I think some conflict can resolve itself through merely putting on gloves and duking it out, I think more often than not conflict resolves itself much better through communicating in a nonviolent way.
These batch jobs are not necessary COBOL. It can be anything from modern Python, Scala, Java to more esoteric choices like Smalltalk, K and bash. I know because I worked in large investment bank writing Smalltalk for risk management.

Banks need to follow regulatory regime. Batch jobs are very convenient, they usually produce flat files that can archived, easy readable by humans and can be consumed in downstream systems regardless of programming languages. My biggest beef with CSV format is multiple specification and poor tooling.

Transaction can completed instantly but risk, reporting, regulatory and reconciliation would be performed later as batch job.
So, what? Nobody is smarter than anybody? We're all just totally 100% equal in every way, except at the same time special and different?

You're trying to high-road this shit. You think you're smart, and I think you are too. We both could probably "guess" intelligence with reasonable accuracy based off looks alone. And even if not, it's a fact that even complete morons have access to high tech. For sure we've both seen them before.

It seems like maybe you're trying to avoid a slippery slope or something, but I think you're slipping the other direction. It's a razor-blade mountain pass, on one hand idiots deserve to be happy, but on the other they probably shouldn't be empowered.

Technology is power, and I'm tired of watching morons poke away at it, applying their force to the world, and ultimately slowing everything down because they push backwards.
The Saudis have also done that with KAUST; from what I heard they have turned off all their weird laws in this region of SA (like a SEZ), and were hiring aggressively a few years ago (from the US). I occasionally stumble on some interesting projects from this University, but I for one would be very weary of moving to a desert region where women were disallowed from driving until a few years back, and need to be draped from head to toe in black.

To be fair, there is something more in the picture. UAE for instance is much more cosmopolitan, but has failed to be a research hub, in contrast to rich city states like Singapore. Iran, their neighbour, produces some very smart people however - who then inevitably move out, considering the flavour regime in that country.

> Now you're starting to make me angry.

After you've spouted invective and abuse at me? I see you've edited it out since.

> > ET302 ultimately turned the electric trim back on which was their death knell, in violation of procedures.

> No it wasn't

Wrong. Boeing OMB, dated November 6, 2018:

"In the event an uncommanded nose down stabilizer trim is experienced... do the Runway Stabilizer NNC ensuring that the STAB TRIM CUTOUT switches are set to CUTOUT and stay in the CUTOUT position for the remainder of the flight."

Followed by an airworthiness directive requiring the immediate revision of flight manuals and familiarity of pilots with this OMB.

ET302 was 10 March 2019.

It goes on to state that you should neutralize trim forces before going to STAB TRIM CUTOUT.

"Electric stabilizer trim can be used to neutralize control column pitch forces before moving the STAB TRIM CUTOUT switches to CUTOUT."

I told you before that MCAS was faulty. It's the most important link in the failure chain, but it sure is unwise to advocate ignoring the rest of the links.

As I said to you elsewhere: "The crews that crashed did not do great. But if a system is regularly putting crews to the test in a way that requires high levels of personal performance to survive, that's a bigger problem." This summarizes my thoughts on this topic. MCAS should get fixed; Boeing should be found liable for the accidents; Pilots should be better informed about the systems on their aircraft... AND we've proven that pilots that don't get recurrent training and evaluation on stab trim issues do badly with them.

> I sat down and calculated the bloody forces that would have to be applied to the screw jack to actuate against the airstream at those velocities, and the torque numbers I got without even factoring in the extra pressure from the elevators was well into the output range of an automotive engine.

OK, and humans can exert torques on trim wheels with a handle "well into the output range" of an automotive engine, too, so you've established nothing.

You've still declined to answer my simple question in the other posts, too-- which I suspect is because you don't have an answer.
Paying the CEO 1000x the average worker is more likely to be sustainable with 100,000 employees than with only 100 employees, so I think the number of subordinates figures in the equation somehow.

"Why should I take a 125% hit when I'm providing a convenience for the patient by doing all their scans on the same day?"

You don't see what is wrong here? If your mechanic told you he wanted you to come to the shop 3 times instead of one for his convenience, you would find another mechanic.

I'm from the US and I've lived in Singapore and the UAE for many years. And I've had to deal with the US system from time to time as well. Medical services cost a fraction in Asia and the Middle East compared to the US and the paperwork is much simpler. And most of the doctors are educated in Europe. And lately I've seen more US doctors moving abroad simply out of frustration.

One time I was in West Virginia with my family and I had trouble catching my breath so we went to the ER. 1.5 hours of waiting, literally a 5 minute visit from the ER doctor and a 3600 USD bill. No treatment. No meds. Later I had to negotiate with the hospital over the bill. Eventually they told me that the insurance reimbursement rate for my vist would have been 600 bucks, but because I had no insurance, I was expected to pay 3600. I eventually got it down to 2200 after much angst and effort. Sick people don't need this aggro. Nor do they need the pain and discomfort for visiting the medical facility 3 times instead of 1 because of the vagaries of the US insurance/hospital billing system.

The US system is broken.
Developing mental health issues and unstable personal relationships because you're unable to access and share your emotions is also a weakness that derives from the emotional suppression that men are taught is a desired masculine trait.

It doesn't have to be like this. Vulnerability doesn't have to be a weakness, showing your emotions can be a masculine trait. We're not defined by, nor locked into, our traditional cultural values and norms.

I think I actually saw an ad similar to that - my takeaway was "damn, these slimy scammers are targeting desperate immigrants", so I guess that means they didn't hit their target?
> A cursory reading of the [django] documentation is usually a first step in acclimating to an otherwise unfamiliar system. It just so happens, for your [lazy evaluation] example here, a complete explanation can be found at the very top ...

The "very top" of the django lazy evaluation documentation you pointed to hardly sheds much light on the issue. The documentation just says that certain operations cause database queries, and that some are cached. It's not clear whether doing two similar operations consecutively will result in two database queries (e.g., checking len(dbquery) twice, or checking for truthiness then pulling the first object from a database query).

The django documentation does differentiate between evaluated and non-evaluated database queries, but to the developer, it's the same object. Would be much better if an "unevaluated query" and an "evaluated query" were two different types with different semantics.

Worse, these lazy evaluation semantics are not terribly pythonic. Checking the length or truthiness of a string, list, set, dict, or tuple is an O(1) operation. Checking the length of a database query may (or may not) make network calls, and may have O(N) performance or worse.

Databases queries can give rise to performance bottlenecks and race conditions, and hiding what's actually happening from the developer is a recipe for all sorts of problems.

Are there any advantages or disadvantages with learning how to build an interpreter versus learning how to build a compiler? I'm asking since I will be taking a compiler class in college soon and this book looks really interesting to me. Usually I see school curriculums have a class on compilers instead of interpreters.
Totally apart from the fact that it's a joke-

I was super surprised about ability to lift kernel lockdown programmatically, using sysrq_trigger file. I think it completely defeats entire point of the lockdown - it is like a safe with spare key duct-taped to the side, annoying but useless against any advisory.

The original kernel patch had a facility to disable programming lockdown lifting, but this apparently did not make it into the kernel he is using. Hopefully this was intentional, to make this less annoying for users during the testing period.

This is a very reassuring viewpoint. I think the onus of acceptance relies on each individual perception and how they can relate to such facts. I will disagree on your usage of 'foolish' because I don't think it's in anyone's best interest to declare foolishness, but to paint a wholistic, optimistic picture of a realistic future. It is my opinion to embrace misconceptions about past mistakes that can have astounding detrimental effects and not to look down, but to unabashedly represent a truth and allow others to accept it.

I agree about spaces to emotionally vent...goodness, the internet lets me vent about anything, at any time, with almost any audience of my choosing, through words, sounds, and video.

On the second part, I would say that emotions are often unarticulated, which may be similar to what you're saying. For me, what I've been trying to practice is that when I start to feel angry, to say "I feel angry" instead of "what is wrong with you??" I've noticed in traffic that if someone cuts me off, I'll have a reflex to cuss out the guy or say something about him being an idiot, and then I'll pause and go, "I really just felt afraid that I would crash." I could tell story after story about how the emotion is not being clearly articulated, and that when it is, it can really realign the situation.

But, to quote James Pennebaker, author of Opening Up (a book that I read and loved) and lots of work on journaling and emotions:

"Verbally labeling an emotion is much like applying a digital technology (language) to an analog signal (emotion and the emotional experience)." --from https://c3po.media.mit.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/45/2016/..., an article I have not yet fully read.

So, in conclusion, maybe my unarticulated is your uncontained analog signal :-D

Part of the problem is that Stallman didn't try to defend Minsky by pointing out that the allegation was unconfirmed and that we shouldn't assume guilt.

Instead, he said Minsky "probably" slept with the woman and then argued that this should not be considered sexual assault, even though at the very least it would have been statutory rape.

It's a bad look no matter how you spin it, and seems to indicate a kind of misogyny and treatment of women as sex objects. It seems to place him firmly in the toxic patriarchy which is no longer considered acceptable.

I saw a comment along the lines that Stallman is still living in the 1970s in that respect. That's a problem for a public figurehead today, unless of course they're a right-wing conservative.

> You keep ignoring the fact that it's a baby account pushing a agenda that's ridiculously off topic.

No, I'm not ignoring that. I am simply not commenting on it, since you did such a good job of calling it out for the bullshit that it is. But the person I was responding to having an established account doesn't make their contribution any higher value. It's the actual comment, not the person making it, that determines the comment's value. And stating, without any evidence, that somehow conservatives claiming victimization is par for the course is about as low value as a comment can get. There's nothing useful or insightful about it. It's lazy, tribal thinking.

> Are you seriously not aware that we live in the middle of a misinformation war?

Part of the misinformation war that you refer to is the left wing using their utter domination of prestige media outlets to marginalize right wing ideas and viewpoints in the popular discourse. The left propagandizes in the articles and the right propagandizes in the comment section and on social media.
