Might be obvious, but consider that more people than you estimated, while understanding implications and directions, decided differently than you did. It's dangerous to attribute behaviour different from your own to lack of understanding.

At my employer we have two ways:

1. For large issues visible to customers an incident report is shared inside the company. These are written for general consumption and so lack any technically interesting aspects (they're "dumbed-down" a lot).

2. Technical "lessons learned" are curated in a Sphinx based documentation website that I started but which is starting to see more and more contributions from other tech heads in the company.

We used to have a wiki but it ossified after years of no contributions. Personally I didn't like the MoinMoin wiki engine that much but this is just personal taste of course. I started setting up the Sphinx site to encourage knowledge retention despite turnover - I kept explaining the same things again and again. Now I just share a URL when such questions come up :-).

The pilots are definitely not "mostly asleep" on long flights. There will be two qualified pilots monitoring the aircraft at all times during the flight (with the possible exception of one stepping out for a moment to use the restroom during cruise). Long haul flights will carry relief crew, 3 or even 4 pilots total, so they can take shifts flying the aircraft.

Being asleep in the cockpit is a good way to quickly end your flying career.
Put another way, a more experienced developer will recognize which issues will actually make future changes slower, vs issues that are just engineering aesthetics. Ultimately the goal is to get to a great product quickly, and an experienced developer keeps sight of that.

Ask HN: What aviation services do drone companies need?
I've been working in drone research for a few years now, and I've had the chance to work with several companies developing hardware and software in the commercial drone industry. One very common theme has been a huge amount of engineering savvy and a... smaller amount of professional commercial aviation and maintenance experience.

Are there any drone startups who have questions on the professional aviation/maintenance sides of commercial drone activities? I'll be happy to take care of short questions in-thread or work short-term gigs setting up functional processes for more involved needs.

They do have property crimes. They do in varying amount based on how accepted it is and how much the city and it's citizens fight it. You realistically can't bring it down to zero, but there is a big gap between, let say, Seattle vs Montreal to pick 2 extremes.

Even NYC isn't that bad depending on where you live, but it can swing straight back if people just sit back and accept it.

I guess the question is: if it got more expensive, would that mainly result in people no longer being able to vacation abroad, or just not doing it because they don't think it's worth the money, even though they can afford it?

If it's primarily $400k+ software developers who currently vacation abroad, then that wouldn't be that strong of an argument against removing the tax incentives.
Bananas are a bad example of this. They don't follow the ordinary selection processes during domestication - the ones we commonly consume are hybridized cultivars with triploid genetics; they're infertile. They reproduce asexually, so all bananas belonging to the same cultivar are clones of each other.

More generally, yes, over time you are going to get more of what you're selecting for. Which may or may not be flesh:seed ratio.

Two parts of interest that jumped out to me:

> The overlapping accounts expose frictions between the two partners over money, control and ethical limits, with the West Germans frequently aghast at the enthusiasm with which U.S. spies often targeted allies.

> Hagelin had once hoped to turn control over to his son, Bo. But U.S. intelligence officials regarded him as a “wild card” and worked to conceal the partnership from him. Bo Hagelin was killed in a car crash on Washington’s Beltway in 1970. There were no indications of foul play.
> Only on HN will you find someone seriously arguing that a salary of over 400K USD a year does not make you upper class. Sure, you can't afford to stop working for the rest of your life, but with a salary like that you're only a few years away from being able to if you wanted.

Sorry but I think we need to be real. We are not the middle class. We are poor working class people. Most of the 10% is squarely the middle class. I'd imagine a big chunk of the 1% is middle class because one medical crisis could likely bankrupt them. Look at the wealth distribution graph.

> Having many different ways to express the same logic makes it hard for developers to understand programs of heterogeneous styles. Besides having varying ways to express the same simple logic, the sheer number of APIs (> 200) that are not only overloaded but also have default parameters that may change version to version, making it hard to remember the APIs.

It's a bit tangential to the main point, but I do agree with this remark.
I have always found Pandas uncomfortable to work with. I'm never sure if I'm doing things in the most efficient/idiomatic way and I've found it hard to be consistent over time, especially since I've picked up different bits of code from different places.

I've gotten a lot more efficiency out of R, especially the data.table package.
All the while throwing out phrases like "byzantine fault tolerant" to add a sprinkle of esotericism to his proposal. The blockchain is cool technology, but it's odd how many people try to force-fit it into domains where it just doesn't belong. I have to wonder if the "investor" side of equation is causing this kind of desperation regarding technical use cases.

After all alternatives remained, it is an upstream project indeed, etc
But I took quite a bit of interest in the discussion as it raged on over the years those arguments you've used I've seen time and time again.

Especially this: "If another open source program depends on it by default, then you can patch it to remove the dependency."
and "then it's up to you if you want to use some feature or you want to do it a different way."

Now recently also Debian has decided to drop support for other init systems. It just wasn't practical anymore.
Now you get to be on the lookout when you "want to use some feature or you want to do it a different way." because if you don't you end up with shit like this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19291067
Now we get to see hilarious stuff like a systemd developer asking tmux to add systemd specific code to work around systemd's own default behaviour.
Now we get BSD's putting in work to deal with the prevalence of Systemd.
Now we get those working with embedded linux putting in work to deal with the prevalence and dependency on SystemD.
Because at the end of the day the systemd devs don't care about ulibc, non linux and what have you whilst at the same time seeming to really want to set the standard for as much as possible.

When you're aloft, you are safe unless the plane is depressurized or on fire. The key safety feature in aviation is the manner in which the plane returns to the earth. This is a job for humans to manage.

Some pilots stop paying attention on long, boring stretches where the autopilot is fully capable of following a vector and an altitude. However, if there's an alarm due to control issue or other emergency, the human is alerted and would take over amyway. That's why it's called an alarm. I don't mean to imply that I support this behavior, but it is an understandable human factor that's a lower priority to correct than other safety factors.
The article shortly addresses these points:

... One unresolved question is whether such a plane would have windows or use video screens to give passengers a sense of their surroundings.

Another issue that has dogged such experiments in the past is how to handle sensations of movement.

Because passengers would be sitting further out from the center of the aircraft, compared to the classic ‘tube and wings’ model, they would move further when the aircraft turns. Rival Boeing has put more weight on a potential cargo role.
That's kind of an absurd way to count, since many of the items listed can be disabled by global prefs while still being "enabled" themselves.

Not saying Brave is the answer, but I think they have at least identified the right problem - ie

If, for example, an effective adblocking browser takes off, huge amounts of revenue to content providers will disappear. So content providers will start to resist in the only way they can - by blocking people with adblockers.

If you want to avoid either massive reduction of content, or the blocking of ad blockers, then you need to offer an alternative.

As I said, whether Brave's model is the right alternative is an open question - but at least they are having a go.
>and went home everyday tired in body but relaxed and happy in mind.

One thing I miss about being a grave digger, and working retail, is that you just had a lot of time to think. It takes minimal mental effort to straighten things on shelves/shelve things/cut grass/weed eat/dig a hole.

With retail, especially at Lowes, you'd occasionally get some conversation with customers and again with Lowes they'd often have some problem they were trying to fix/solve and you got to think about the best way to help them. At the cemetery I just listened to talk radio when I was tired of my thoughts, or I'd have one-sided conversations with random 'customers'. I'd come home and be tired but actually feel like reading or talking to a friend, now I analyze paperwork all day trying to meet quota while interpreting laws and trying not to make any mistakes and go home and just want to turn on some video and go mildly catatonic until bed.

>My savings target is always 50% or more.

I don't agree with the "fine" in the "fine first approximation". I believe it is indeed a bad solution.

LWW/LUW basically leads to data loss. Something unexpected for Postgres users. Which potentially undermines its heritage of caring of data to the extreme.

From a practical perspective, if you run an inventory or sales of physical goods, a counter over a multi-master with said conflict resolution may lead to double bookings, lost bookings or negative inventory stocks. None of these events are fine to me.

I'd prefer not to have conflict resolution and have the replication system explicitly check that data sets are disjoints. In this case, these multi-master systems would be very useful (for a particular set of applications).

That consensus is "slow" is a problem also well solved in the real world. Sure, it's not easy, but when you partition and parallelize, you overcome many of the problems. Look at Spanner, AzureDB or the Postgres-compatible APIs of YugabyteDB or CockroachDB. They all have implemented multi-master with consensus.
Disgruntled MSP engineer tries to sell Chimera
I wonder if it's one of the chips that has a bootloader vulnerability. All of the trustzone stuff was completely broken on their original, and nobody ever implemented working code for it anyway.

The BOM cost is probably pretty high because of the BGA package, the original was like a 8 layer board or something absurd.

Those processors, as you pointed out, are comically slow even compared with the raspberry pi.
Thanks For sharing Ryan. There's a reason I did eventually go to college, get the degree and enter tech. Doesn't change the fact that I've never loved any job, company or role as much as I loved making furniture and helping people get fit.

Sounds like I'm just a bit older than you. minimum wage was 5.25 when I first started part time at the furniture shop. I was making $12 an hour by the time I quit (this was 18 years ago). I do know blue collared workers who are quite happy and make decent money. My brother I mentioned in another comment being one of them, another brother who drives for Sysco is unioned and has a good career path (admittedly based on seniority) and makes good money.

Edit: I actually DON'T have a degree. I went to college, got a lot of credits but missed a requirement in a non-degree related class (I forget but it was something like not taking enough history or something). I already had a job offer lined up so it didn't matter and after that first job, no one has ever cared.
I'm late to the party, but I think the winner is the bra.

Wikipedia says:

> The Dresden-based German, Christine Hardt, patented the first modern brassiere in 1899. Sigmund Lindauer from Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt, Germany, developed a brassiere for mass production and patented it in 1912. In the United States, Mary Phelps Jacob received a patent in 1914 for the first brassiere design that is recognized as the basis for modern bras.

> A bra is one of the most complicated garments to make. A typical design has between 20 and 48 parts, including the band, gore, side panel, cup, apex, neckline, underwire, strap, ring, slider, strap join, and closure.
I assume what you're arguing against is using small functions with descriptive names as documentation. If that's the case, I think the term "hyper-abstract" is a massive overstatement.

In any case, I think the core issue is really how much faith you have in the proficiency of your teammates. If you can't trust the developers in your team to actually only write functions that do what they say in the name (without nasty side-effects), then I can see why not having all the logic in front of you in one giant function can be annoying - you have to jump into all the definitions and manually double check to be sure what's happening.
ResearchGate Receives U.S. Patent
I mean, it's napkin math right? The idea is to see if it's worth doing actual calculations.

Even oil companies can't drill deeper than 10km in most areas because the heat destroys any material drill, even the most durable ceramics and exotic alloys that they have tested.

If you can't drill a hole you cant put any kind of fiber in it.

It doesn't matter if it's 5km deep, 10km, or even 20km. You'd need an order of magnitude more depth at minimum to make a difference (geometrically, because the Earth is 12 megameters in diameter), not a counting number multiplier more depth.

That was more the point...it doesn't matter if the numbers are off by a factor of 2 or 3x, it's not worth the calculation time. If we got within 2-3x then the napkin math would have told us "go deeper, find more accurate/precise numbers for each parameter and consider edge cases".

Instead this napkin math said: Forget it. Do something else. You'll never drill deep enough to make a difference.

If, eventually, signals go through fiber at 0.98c instead of 0.7c, then it may be worth considering again despite the tremendous cost, because you could beat NYC-London HFT trades. But today, sattelites with lasers will be much faster than any drillable hole with fiber.
It is extremely hard to get rid of the oligopoly and Visa and MasterCard make sure to keep their market position. My experience comes from trying to start a company in exactly what you are describing, using the OpenBanking APIs. So what I will say was just my experience and does not necessarily mean it is impossible.

1. Public APIs (I will be talking about the EU's public banking APIs following OpenBanking in the UK and PSD2 in Europe): if you think the public APIs will allow you to transact easily from one account to another, think again. In the EU a new concept called SCA (strong customer authentication) means that for every payment your user does, they will need to complete an SCA flow. These SCA flows involve a OTP sent via text, logging in to your online banking account to confirm the transaction, etc. Any form of SCA in itself is annoying and destroys the customer journey (imagine having to login to your online banking platform to confirm a payment every time you buy a coffee). However, what is more annoying is that banks control what sort of SCA they allow and since banks have a vested interest in other payment apps (that don't give them a cut) failing, they will make it as cumbersome as possible.
2. NFC Payment via Phone: even if you do end up solving the SCA problem, you will not be able to use the NFC capabilities on Apple's Core NFC platform. Why? Because Apple has decided that no financial application should be able to use the NFC capabilities because they are scared of a competitor to ApplePay (thanks Apple). As far as I know, you can use the Android NFC capabilities but don't quote me on that. Thus, you are stuck with QR codes, something western consumers tend to look down upon. Thus, that is your second barrier to creating a good solution on the consumer side.
3. Distribution: in order to distribute this, you must bring out new hardware. This is expensive to produce and integrating into merchant's POS systems is super expensive as well. Furthermore, merchants don't like having several payment devices standing around.

Long story short, merchants hate paying card fees. However, it is damn near impossible to build a solution that is convenient for the consumer who you are intending to convince, thus I do not see this Oligopoly being broken for a long time.
Yep, just need to give it another decade or so I suppose.
Delphi and it's opensource cousin Lazarus/Freepascal are doing just fine and I use those to implement desktop applications. Single exe with no dependencies. Beauty. Sure they're not popular in North America but I could care less. Those tools save me a boatload of time. There is also QT.

"The answers were: These tools were good for one developer or small teams, but textual dev tools scaled better to big teams."

Utter nonsense. They scale just fine. Whoever gave the answer seem to not know what he/she is talking about.
