The associated concept in regulation is a certification (by plane model, e.g. for all Airbus A321) called ETOPS¹ (Extended Operations). The cert applies to twin engines and basically tells you that a plane can fly up to XXX minutes on 1 functional engine only (e.g. ETOPS = 60, then you have ETOPS 120, ETOPS 180 and currently ETOPS 240 is permitted on a case-by-base basis). Note that "ETOPS-180 and ETOPS-207 cover about 95% of the Earth" (how much you can reach while staying 180-207 minutes from an airport at normal altitude/speed).

The rational justification is not merely technical but rather empirical, proven by real-world data. Certifications usually because companies can demonstrate e.g. "N years of trouble-free XXX-minutes ETOPS experience". In other words, we've been doing it for this long and it works so there's statistically ever-less reasons to believe the certification is flawed.

So, despite all the stats you may collect about birds, and physical + ethological models to estimate how much chance there is it will happen twice to a twin engine plane on both reactors before it can land, it would only prove reality: it just doesn't happen. Or not in ways that more engines would solve. (Birds are a bigger problem for cockpit windows, though.)

Now, another additional bit of safety: all jetliner planes have a "fixed-wing" design, allowing "deadstick landing"². From wiki:

> All fixed-wing aircraft have some capability to glide with no engine power; that is, they do not sink straight down like a stone, but rather continue to glide moving horizontally while descending. For example, with a glide ratio of 15:1, a Boeing 747-200 can glide for 150 kilometres (93 mi) from a cruising altitude of 10,000 metres (33,000 ft).

More recent planes are usually ever better (the OG 747 is from 1969!) At the very least it allows the pilot to 'land' on sea and wait for evacuation in zodiacs. So even in the extremely unprobable event that ETOPS failed (the statistical outlier where a plane loses both engines), you'd probably just glide to the ground 100-200km away at most to reach some landing spot.

There are reasons why air travel is so safe, the safest of all, and most of those are empirical, real, tested then validated. That's why it was such a shame what Boeing did to the 737 MAX; and I hope the 777X program yields the safest planes we've ever seen from them, that they actually innovate in that respect.

Safe travels!

This is neither new nor first. Turkey has a court tradition that spans, at this point, more than seven hundred years (excluding Eastern Roman law with Corpus Iuris Civilis, which if included would bring it to 2500, an unbroken chain from whence it came, Rome) - to the point that it customarily allowed every sub-nation of the Ottoman Empire to have their own court and apply their own laws. For example, if you were Christian, you would get Christian judges, a Muslim would get the Muslim court and a Jewish person would likewise. It worked well for a long time, and when it didn’t, the modern, current court system was put in place.

The general point here is that, no, Turkey is not, in fact, a banana republic, but ultimately a pretty normal enlightenment-ideas-based country which is dealing with a leader that tries to stretch everything it can find to give himself more unrestrained power. That should unfortunately be pretty familiar to people who live in the US at this point.
There’s still a big spectrum. Then we can look at “tech” companies like Lime which end up being extremely capital intensive.
I agree. Simply setting a magic global variable WIDTH and HEIGHT doesn't provide any insight, and confuses things more.

There is no logical reasoning why those two variables are globals, and what other globals might have special behavior.

Yes, if that is what you are trying to do, I think SQLite is good. SQLite command shell also has a .import command to read data from a file, and you can also import into a view and use triggers to process the data (this is something I have done). And there is also functions and virtual tables for JSON, and you can load extensions (written in C) to add additional functions, virtual tables, collations, etc. So for many cases, SQLite is useful.

I agree. A lot of the highest quality products are not sold on Amazon any longer due to the myriad of issues and I have noticed that unless the site has a referral program or is a member of one, I rarely see a recommendation for their product.

I've watched with great interest over time how Microsoft has evolved from closed source to open source. IMHO, Much of their motivation derives from huge demand from the community to open source their software. Developers benefit in several ways by being able to quickly fix bugs, possibility (depends on project) of adding a feature, and desire to contribute to the community on software they like. There has also been several products that Microsoft has decided to stop providing, but have lived on through community adoption, which is huge if developers have dedicated their own time to learn and integrate the software with their own projects over time. Open source also gives developers a say in the development of products, watching it being built in the open, influencing direction/features, and making it easier to understand what the code does under the hood. Additionally, Microsoft has embraced and supported 3rd party open source for a number of years, building on their relationship with the community.
> But I think he's mixing up what people mean when they say they don't like inequality and what they actually want to do about it. Nobody is claiming we all go back to being hunter/gatherers.

The top comment on this thread, which predates your comment by an hour, is saying essentially that. Doesn't matter what the absolute wealth level is, only that the variance is small.

The thesis of PG's article is that it's important to be precise about what we mean, because many are talking about the "robbing the rich" meaning, and the way it ought to be treated is really different.

I'd say the recent shift in terminology from poverty to inequality, and in measurement from "% below an objective threshold" to "ratio between quantiles," is happening explicitly to accommodate the meaning you're disclaiming here.

>Increasing the safety net, even if it means decreasing the gains, might cause more people to take the risk.

Sure, but the operative thing here is increasing the safety net, which you could do without substantially closing the gap between rich and poor. In fact a stronger safety net might lead to more entrepreneurship and thus more founders getting rich, making the inequality stats worse.

EDIT: clarity about top comment.
I think this is a intrinsically misleading article. The CDC and WHO are conservative because they can’t afford to cry wolf. Some no name startup can make arbitrary claims and then argue in hindsight.

“Toronto startup whose AI-driven health monitoring platform analyzes billions of data points. Launched in 2014, the venture alerted its clients to the outbreak on Dec. 31, well ahead of notifications from the World Health Organization and US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.”

Let’s see their post-mortems of false positives.
If there's a confirmed link between neurological disorders and air quality and traffic, wouldn't this show up in major metropolitan cities as well? Someone who lives near a highway is probably exposed to the same if not more automobile pollutants as someone in a city? I guess I'm trying to make the point that if the conclusion that they're drawing (proximity to cars = neurological disorders) it should show up in contexts outside of just "highways."

Against a network-level adversary, DNSSEC does exactly nothing: it's a server-to-server protocol, and the interaction between the resolver on your desktop and the DNS server remains unprotected. And, of course, as you mention, even if you ran a recursive validating resolver on your desktop, DNSSEC still doesn't encrypt anything.

People should simply not bother with DNSSEC.
I hadn't given Odin a look before I read this post. As a fellow general purpose language author (Gosu) I applaud the author's pragmatic, albeit unpopular at times, point of view. For instance, his position regarding Null is spot on re the "streetlight effect" reference. Others include:
* pascal-style declarations
* type system
* multiple returns
* strings
* switch
Also I would not downplay the advantages of operator tokens && ||. More than just familiarity with C-family developers, in my experience, they are more generally effective as expression delimiters. They stand out better than 'and' 'or', which is better for readability.

Lets not kid ourselves and pretend wikipedia is the "truth". Jimmy Wales has come out as being partisan and agenda-driven like much of tech. Wales/Wikipedia represents "truth" no more than Google or Facebook does. Not only that we know that there are unsavory actors ( including government, ngos and especially PR groups ) who are manipulating wikipedia articles.

No doubt in part because of brain training from tinkering and "hacking" with physical, moderately technical equipment.

I feel I've gained similar experience from turning wrenches on personal vehicles since I was a teenager. It's a great activity that teaches discipline and seemingly exercises a certain creative, technical, and systems oriented type of thinking, which is very similar to coding, albeit much less cognitively demanding.

Obviously, if you're investing consistently then this thread doesn't apply. I don't know how to make it any clearer - some people will always have a reason to stay out and I offered a rule to follow to get in. That's all it was.
We do something like this; one of the outputs of the data pipeline is an sqlite file that's deployed nightly along with code to App Engine. The sqlite stuff is all read only, read/write data for the app is stored in firestore instead.

We initially used json but ran in to memory issues; sqlite is more memory efficient and being able to use SQL instead of the wild SQL-esque is both faster and more reliable.

> Nobody used it before.

The archive.org links already provided to you prove that you're flat wrong about that. SQLite used the term many years before it was a webshit buzzword. They used it in the intuitive straight forward english sense; somebody who has no hat is hatless, somebody who has no home is homeless, and a database system that has no server process is serverless. In 2007 when it was written, nobody would have batted at eye at this term, the meaning would have been immediately clear to anybody who had any familiarity with databases.

If the upgrade fails it's very annoying though. First you have to wait 10 minutes for the upgrade, then it reboots, then it upgrades some more, then it discovers something is wrong, it reboots, uninstalls the update which takes maybe minutes, reboots again. That can easily kill half an hour if not more of your work day, as you are not able to use the computer when it's upgrading and rebooting. Compared to Linux where you rarely need to reboot after an update. And you can also choose when you want to upgrade, eg. you can shut off your computer without upgrading. And most importantly, Linux lets your start your computer without having to wait 30 minutes for upgrades.

I'm currently using Linux for Windows apps that is no longer supported by Windows. eg. they don't even work in compatibility mode. But they do work in Wine!

It is a "scaling" problem. At small scales, yes, human time can be more valuable than computer time. At large scales, humans will sacrifice their own time to make computers work faster. The problem is with intermediate scale, where the computer takes a bit too long to do simple things.

I've a Defender, a '66 VW Beetle, a Fiat 500 and a Volvo XC40 with adaptive and predictive everything and I'll only take my kids out in the latter. Heritage vehicles have their place but they're harmful to the occupants and harmful to the other party in an accident. I wouldn't use one as a daily for that reason.

One interesting thing about the Beetle is that despite retaining the same basic shape and construction over the entire run a lot changed to significantly improve relative safety: collapsible steering columns, the change to Macpherson strut suspension, door handles with the opening mechanism shielded in a roll-over and so-on.

Not the author, but I've used a lot of Unix and Powershell.

Powershell is all objects which has some significant consequences. The first is that many operations will only be reasonably performant on tiny files. If you just want to grep a string from a medium sized file (Ex: 80 MB) and then sort it, the Powershell command is trivial, but can take minutes to run as every row becomes an object. To get around this, you have to generally write a fair amount of straight .NET code like C# which defeats the purpose of using Powershell in the first place. The second consequence is convenience. Because everything is an object, when you get files, you have so much metadata at your fingertips. This is definitely harder in shell and even a pain for me in Python.

Edit: on one of my older accounts I complained about the impossibility of parsing files with reasonable speed in Powershell despite me testing 5 different methods. Someone replied back with another few methods I've never seen before that were much faster, but still slow. If anyone can find that comment I'd be much obliged (hopefully the former poster remembers and can look back).

I really really want Powershell to be more performant with text work as I do a lot of that and everything else in Powershell is so darned convenient. As it stands, it is more of an IT Admin language and possibly DevOps more than anything.
If the rise of Trump, Sanders and Warren is any indication the USA does want to implement policy to retain manufacturing, even if it doesn't have a good plan to do so right now. Given the rising cost of labor in the developing world, increased automation and moves toward protectionism on both sides of the aisle, not to mention the cultural/geopolitical headaches in dealing with authoritarian dictatorships, it's plausible that super-cheap energy could be a deciding factor.

Germany figured it out, and their energy costs are roughly double ours.
A minimal immutable VM image which is finely tuned and hardened is the exact approach we're taking with https://on-premises.com - except we haven't focused on k8s workloads. We've found that customers would much rather import a VM than "install" something, however there are valid use-cases which require special monitoring tools and other customizations which are not possible on an immutable system. Gravity is interesting and seems to meet that demand.
Everything else aside, the German industry must have been incredibly strong to withstand the rest of the world against it for so long. Such a double tragedy it was wasted on a horrible war effort in instead of furthering humanity.

No, it would still be "The Amazons from Ancient Greece" or "The Greek Amazons" or something. "Amazon" singular in that context is only used as an adjective, such as "the Amazon Queen".

Quick edit: Ah wait, I think I see what you're doing with that phrase. It's shorthand for "The Amazon culture" or "Amazon depictions" or something, but it still comes off as strange-sounding to me.
It seems like it would be worth including data from weather and emergency services. Another gripe I have is that it seems like pedestrian data is inadvertently used to determine road speeds in dense urban areas, so a block that is literally gridlocked for an hour will still be recommended by maps.
Same here.

About mechanical design - I remember in university noticing how some folks would design things that would be very difficult to construct, where folks who already knew how things were made would do much better. It seems like there's something to having early exposure to shop-stuff, and tooling per capita is bound to be higher in rural areas.
