One way to think of it is that the connections you make in the workplace run in one direction. The connections you make throughout the community run orthogonal to that. Combined, the two build up the social "fabric".

However, when you shift the majority of connections to those made through the workplace, you end up with just a bunch of connections running roughly parallel to each other. Not so much a fabric as a pile of string.

Probably many flaws to this analogy, but that is basically the idea of "third places". That you need somewhere where people interact based on something different from what they do for a living or who their direct family members are.
Their plan is to replace foreign PCs and software in all government offices and public institutions in three years. It means replacing 20-30 million PCs! That will definitely also accelerate the OS development.

Relative to its clock speed, the Pentium III had a lot of cache, good memory bandwidth, and low memory latency. And back then, disk IO was extremely slow. These two facts meant that common workloads were more often constrained on CPU cycles or disk IO, rather than RAM access.

I'm not sure which parts of America you visited. Down south, I regularly interact with strangers in public, and occasionally make new friends that way. On the other hand, in Europe, it's always seemed that others don't appreciate being bothered.

Keep in mind what this tool replaces. Sure, most obviously, this tool might "be" a debugger, but if by using it you suddenly don't need separate static analysis/reverse-engineering tools in your debugging workflow, then it's in competition with those tools, too. Imagine everything you'd have to buy+install in order to get the same effect as this tool, and then charge more than that (because probably there's at least a few use-cases where, without this exact tool, you just can't do it at all.)

Do databases keep the whole transaction log forever? It seems like that could keep growing forever even when the tables stay at constant size.
One of the tricky parts about the shift to Signal or e2e in general for politicians is the data retention FOIA problem. It's not really an issue for parties but is when government business slips into the inevitable conversation at some point. With some of the people we work with they've found themselves having to screenshot and send hundreds of messages.

It's one of the reasons why I think Matrix is going to become more popular for low level government conversations. As it is recently in France. As far as I understand they have managed to solve this problem when deployed in such environments.
> You can love your job and also love your family, and holidays are primarily about time with family.

The problem is that academics at many institutions have two jobs. During the school year, they are teaching, doing service work, and generally have so many distractions that it's hard to do research. During breaks, the job turns into a full-time research position. Of course you're going to want to work over break - especially if you're aiming for a promotion that depends on research. The current system requires you to do forty hours a week of routine stuff that won't get you promoted or get you an outside offer, and once you've done that you can work on your promotion and/or outside offer.

I think NASA had unmanned test flights even in the early days.(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Apollo_missions#Unmann...).

I think everyone would agree that manned flights should be as thoroughly tested as possible. Although SpaceX has never had manned flights, they do dock with the ISS, a failure of which could have very real consequences including possible loss of life.

The belief that an iterative, agile approach is too "fast and loose" for complex engineering projects has been throughly debunked, but for some reason continues to pervade.

I think you misunderstand. You cannot pay twitter (or facebook, google, or any other platform) to create accounts in bulk. that's not a service they provide.

Spammers sell accounts in bulk that they have illicitly created or gained access to. Measuring how much those "bulk accounts" cost relative to accounts on other similarly desirable platforms is an effective way to measure how effective a platform is at rooting out spammers and preventing fake & bulk-purchased accounts.

You can be anti-consumerism and be on the internet (I would call myself one, that except food, I haven't really bought anything for myself in this last year but still online ;)), but you are right, you will find them in different media than twitters/igs/facebooks. I focused on IG (but I guess twitter/facebook are the same) 99% of popular content you see is fake, produced to attract a certain audience. van-living, or surfing around the globe is as said before, mostly paid for by external sources that they don't disclose. I used to do a lot of surfing and met a lot of surf bums. They aren't usually in social media except maybe to share things about surf etc, and in most posts, are about the waves/new surf board, etc and you rarely see their faces. When you see 'whatever audience target' person in IG and it is a pretty face (usually loads of make up or youc an see the hair took 3 hours to prepare), these people have teams/donors behind them to sell you something.

If we're in nitpick land, it truly is important (especially in that 737 case) to remember that stalls on wings has nothing to do with speed, and everything to do with angle of attack (the angle between the wing and the apparent wind).

Now, to be fair, going faster DOES create apparent wind coming from the front, so it decreases your angle of attack, but that's it.

(the sensor that failed on the 737s was the angle of attack indicator, trying to estimate if the wing was going to stall).

From 1958, when McDonnell (now Boeing) built the Mercury spacecraft, through 1969, when Apollo 11 (first stage and lunar rover built by Boeing, 3rd stage by McDonnel) landed on the Moon, Boeing rapidly iterated and was an 'outdoor cat'. NASA moved pretty quickly back then, too.

They've just gotten comfortable indoors, growing fat, lazy, and old in the decades since then.
This. There are both honest and dishonest reasons to seek anonymity. That tension makes this a very difficult problem to solve satisfactorily, in the context of liberal democracy.

"Although findings in mice do not always translate into human treatments, the study may help to guide the development of strategies that could help..."

Pulled right from the article. Studies in mice are simply a way to point in the, hopefully, "right" direction without having to shoot in the dark with human test subjects needlessly.
I get what you mean, but my question is more about how you can run your dev environment when your "project" requires you to have multiple things running (a react spa, a rails backend, three microservices, two databases, ...). Understand "do you have one single command to run all of your resources or do you start them one by one?".

Thanks for your reply though ! Your solution might fit people who have dedicated instances for projects.

Hey this is great, I made something ad-hoc to do this for a client and might borrow some ideas to improve it.

I heavily leaned on AWS Textract for the bounding boxes though, as the kind of data I had to extract didn't have very well defined fields. I used some of the techniques described in this link [0] particularly around table extraction.

I really like how you define the fields in YAML though, I defined mine in code and it ended up being a bit messy.

Ah yes. The goal is to cover every square inch of every known planet with pulsing human flesh, and if it means we wipe out everything else and just harvest vats of yeast to eat, hey God told some of us to do it a long time ago (apparently).

Pay is already tied somewhat to math skills in life anyway. The math that leads to allocating resources optimally and growing them when possible is only useful when combined with impulse control. Otherwise you blow your income on cigarettes and Doordash.

The premise, that the test was conducted within operational parameters, is not true.

I'm curious why you think that Java is "stagnating" considering how they are shipping new releases even faster than ever over the past couple of years? If anything, I sometimes feelthat some Java people are annoyed that they're moving too fast.
Usually you'll keep the transaction logs for a certain period, say for two weeks. That gives you point in time recovery for any moment in that two weeks (assuming you've set up everything correctly!). Logs past that are usually archived or just dumped, but you'll have full backups that go back further.

For your question about the logs growing forever, there are usually points in the process where a transaction log is saved off somewhere else and then can be overwritten, but on a transactional system the logs over a period of a week or two can sometimes be many times larger than the actual data stored at any given time, yes.
You'd have done well on that one. That's why I asked how you knew, it was a pretty bold prediction and to see it come true like that is quite a thing. Pity you didn't answer sooner!
Autism is characterized by autistic behavior. You cannot separate autistic behavior from an autistic person, it is simply their nature. These "mouse models" are inaccurate, as they're based on behavioral observations in the mice and likening them to human behavior. We don't really know how autism works and why, and we haven't discovered actual autistic mice. In other words, it's mostly extrapolation.

Anything can "reduce autism symptoms" that can make a neurotypical person unable to behave normally. Autistic behavior IS the normal for autistic people. Heavy sedatives, just like being very sick, can "reduce autism symptoms" since the person would be too tired to exhibit any behaviors at all.

"Look, he's not flapping and pacing! His autism must be cured!" No, you dolt, he's exhausted and miserable from being sick.

Leave autistic people alone and let them be themselves.
Seriously, I can't believe some people would rather let their kid die of polio than believe they could be autistic. If you think having an autistic child is that terrible, you probably shouldn't have kids.
> Fired after 3 months.

Which means you probably went 6 months or more without a role properly filled.

Oh sure, on my webserver I just wrote the POSTed image to a temp file, called the command-line utility itself from within my code, and captured the stdout to return back. The command-line utility initializes very quickly so the performance was fine.

The only semi-tricky bits were parsing stderr if anything went wrong (distinguish warnings from actual errors), and the fact that Tesseract doesn't respect the JPEG orientation bit (big problem with iPhone camera images), so checking that and manually rotating the JPEG first if necessary (gibberish otherwise).
> The opposite of alienation and social atomization is basically conformity and homogeneity

Not sure I agree with that, you don't have to be like other people to get along with them. A strong social fabric at it's root is things like being willing to talk to all walks of life and not nurturing a fear of the unknown.
Your comment comes across as if it's a forgone conclusion that agile development is adequate but it seems like there is still plenty of debate on this in terms of safety-critical systems.

"The quality control mechanisms supported by current agile processes (e.g., informal reviews, pair-programming) have not been proven to be adequate to assure users that the product is safe. In fact there is some doubt these techniques alone will be sufficient. Formal specification, rigorous test coverage, and other formal analysis and evaluation techniques included in software engineering approaches provide better, but also more expensive, mechanisms to tackle the development of safety- or business- critical software" [1]

SpaceX has shown quality control issues on their hardware processes in the past, which, from the outside looking in seems like they should have been caught.[2] I wonder if the fact that they are a relatively young organization is why these processes were lacking to begin with. It seems to be the nature of the learning process that as the 'unknown unknowns' are uncovered, processes will become more robust (and possibly cumbersome) by extension. The real question is whether they should have been unknown to begin with. I also wonder if they will start to look less like the agile upstart as they create more mature processes.

Oh it’s definitely because of this... that’s why I think Spacex was right to pursue a path where each flight gets considerably cheaper with reuse and to prove the platform with cargo rather than pursue space tourism. Now they have a flight proven business and can work on the hard stuff. Each time a broken timer doesn’t work for spacex, as long as the rocket is recovered, they basically lose the cost of the capsule and the fuel. Every time Boeing fails, it’s what? $100 million (I don’t have a source for that)... spacex could have iterated already and have a man in space but nasa is worried about protecting Boeing’s ego that they are slowing spacex’s cadence... maybe that’s not fair... I get that nasa also is not an agile org so it needs time to absorb and analyze findings too. Regardless, at this point, I think it’s clear that nasa is propping up a failed program at Boeing and the sooner they deal with it and SLS, the sooner we can get on to actual space exploration.

Honestly I feel as though that's one of the most incredible aspects of theoretical physics I've seen. The fact that often times these underlying physics are danced around and even though they're unknown, we can tell something is not quite right.

Has not the community moved to Python or something else?

There is no "the community" in that sense. Java and Python are both incredibly widely used, by their respective communities, with a certain measure of overlap. And there's every reason to expect that both will remain incredibly widely used for the foreseeable future.
Airlines sell tickets in advance, so hedging will allow them to match their near-future fuel prices to the ticket prices they're selling now. They consume fuel but don't produce it, so I don't think they can fully balance things out over time internally.

There are too many variables involved to determine a real market price for those in tech product engineering in any meaningful way.
