It has been a repudiation of the communication layers between experts and average people, as well, which I think might be more of Aaronson's ire than experts qua experts (it's certainly more of my ire, but I don't have his platform).

A standard of "scientists dabbling in journalism to improve communication" instead of "journalists dabbling in communicating science" would likely have gone a long way to improving the civilian response and trust in experts.

There's also the factor of the "Noble Lie" dishonesty around wearing masks. I suspect intellectual-ish contrarians (like Aaronson et al) are more angered by this than the average person, but we ended up with shortages and sellouts anyways: a significant number of non-experts didn't buy into that noble lie so the experts/organizations that pushed it (not to be confused with ALL experts) burned a lot of good will to basically no effect.

ETA: I considered replying to your comment about the Harvard epidemiologists but would rather edit it in here to avoid two replies to one person: I think that's a great example of my point. The story wasn't broken by bloggers, but bloggers were more likely to be amplifying the concerned experts than our "traditional media powerhouses."
I presume it might be them struggling to deal with increased traffic from the quarantined crowd? Although I'm not sure how many users Signal has now and how much of an increase it's experienced.

Gotcha, I work only with Linux and Windows. There was a problem where the icon was incredibly pixelated on Windows 7, but they fixed that.

I see, I tested it only on Bellsoft's JDK 11, since I don't use 8 anymore.
sounds really cool. I also want to upgrade my old PC in the near future. Plus I bought Siemens drive for my PC recently, I found so many cool drives here https://eltra-trade.com/catalog/siemens-micromaster-420 at competitive price. This company supplies different industrial automation equipment from simple electronic components and switches to high-voltage complex systems throughout the world.
I suppose you don't include the flight manuals as a critical system, since those have been touch screens for almost a decade?
I've had problems with printer drivers consistently since I switched to (K)ubuntu on the desktop in 2010ish. Since 2 years however, they are basically gone. That's thanks to IPP becoming more commonplace.

Then I'm having issues with PTP from my phone. Windows is fine but Plasma is broken. The phone also offers an MTP mode which thankfully works.

When I bought a Lenovo netbook in 2015, I was unable to set the screen brightness. It took a few years but eventually the issue got fixed with a new version of Kubuntu.

On my brand new ThinkPad T495 I'm having an issue with the graphics drivers, which crash and require me to issue an ACPI reboot when I close the lid and reopen it again. Pretty sure it's this issue as the error messages, symptoms and working workarounds all match. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/issues/883
"There's no "bitcast" operator that changes the type of a value without affecting the value."

Technically, you are supposed to use unions for that, though it's a pain. The PostgreSQL codebase is compile with -fno-strict-aliasing so that a simple cast will get the job done, but obviously that's technically out of spec.

DoS attacks specifically. I would argue that any other form of hacking should not be punishable and it should only be up to the devices to protect against them.

I'm not disagreeing with anything you're saying and despite my somewhat ranting comment I am not completely opposed to a mix of touchscreens and hardware interfaces: but I think you'll agree that there needs to be a decision made in terms of safety when you decide to use a touchpad for input. If you're adjusting the screen brightness on your smart phone, that slider doesn't have to be perfect, and maybe adjusting the cabin lights for an airliner doesn't have to be either: I'm just dreading the day when things like navigational headings and airspeed creeps into a touch interface because of "convenience". But if my observation about this trend is wrong, which I hope, that separation of concerns will stay in future designs as well.
I've had the second, and it wasn't related to suspend. For some reason, the GUI decides to do a software bit-blit of the entire screen, which takes tens of seconds, before it lets xscreensaver put up its dialogue box. So don't assume that this is always suspend-related. There are several quite varied possibilities.
Yeah, I was just trying to point out that there is a feature vs. privacy/security tradeoff. Although I think e2e encryption is usually much more valuable.

When it comes comprehensibility, the C++ standard is orderS of magnitude more difficult than the JLS due to the numerous interdependencies and layers upon layers of cruft. There is no single, cohesive model to understand. That is the fatal flaw of C++ and I guess what led to Stroustrup's couple-of-decades-too-late "Remember the Vasa!" proclamation.

I think voice controls are obviously the theoretical best for automotive and I hope that in the near future every car will have built-in functionality - that will even work offline.

Obviously Siri can't control my AC right now but it infuriates me that CarPlay voice controls don't work without internet.

I have a hard time imagining it would be difficult to increase offline functionality when in my old 2010 Ford I had Microsoft Sync with the functionality to voice control an iPod offline and it worked pretty much perfectly.

"So, since you don't want to store that money under your mattress"...

I never understood/agreed with this argument. I'd much rather withdraw all my money and keep it in a safe than lock in a loss. I suppose for most people though the minor loss of principal outweighs that inconvenience, but for me, as a matter of principle, I refuse to be paid less than my principal (I didn't mean for that to come out as cheesy as it did).
Sorry bringing up the well documented existence of astroturfing policies by major corporations employees is "uncivil" and don't you dare mention it on HN.
> I don't understand how being acquired by Apple helps further that goal. Removing support for non-Apple devices seems to drastically lower the number of people who you are helping.

I would imagine that DarkSky will become the basis for the default weather apps in iOS and macOS, and the number of people who use those defaults is drastically higher than the number of people who use DarkSky iOS/Android as a third-party app. The total addressable market shrinks, but the functional number of users increases.
That sounds like a horrible idea.

If you're trying to say, lower the landing gear, and the button malfunctions, you can probably smack the button a few times until it works, failing that, rip the switch out and short the wires inside the switch and get the plane landed.

With a touch screen? What if the glass breaks and the capacitive layer fails? Or the software running the screen crashes? Or a bug prevents you from switching from the "Climate control" tab to the "Landing gear" tab?

If you don't have the time to write whole books yourself, you can just write fictitious reviews and criticisms of books that don't actually exist, touching on all the best parts and ignoring the rest. And nobody will be able to contradict you!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanis%C5%82aw_Lem%27s_fictiti...

>Stanisław Lem's fictitious criticism of nonexistent books

>Stanisław Lem's fictitious criticism of nonexistent books may be found in his following works: in three collections of faux reviews of fictional books: A Perfect Vacuum (Doskonała próżnia, 1971), Provocation (Prowokacja, 1984), and Library of 21st Century (Biblioteka XXI wieku, 1986) translated as One Human Minute, and in Imaginary Magnitude (Wielkość Urojona, 1973), a collection of introductions to nonexistent books.

>While reviewing nonexistent books, a modern form of pseudepigraphy, Stanisław Lem attempted to create different fictional reviewers and authors for each of the books. In his own words: "I tried to imitate various styles – that of a book review, a lecture, a presentation, a speech (of a Nobel Prize laureate) and so on". Some of the reviews are lighthearted, concentrating mostly on the story; others, however, read more like serious, academic reviews. Some of the reviews are parodies, or the books being reviewed are parodies or complete impossibilities, others are quite serious and can be seen almost as drafts for novels that Lem never got around to write. Lem wrote: "With years passing a great impatience grew in me. It would be a hard work to convert ideas into narration, and that was one of the main reasons I went for such cruel abridgements of the books". Lem was not alone in passing through this kind of crisis: examples abound of works planned by literary celebrities, but never completed. Lem also remarked that he was eventually convinced that writing summaries and introductions enabled him to save time on producing things of importance, namely, his modeling experiments, compared to full-blown literary efforts, most of which would have constituted mundane craftsmanship.

[...]

>One Minute

>The reviewed faux book is alleged to be a collection of statistical tables, a compilation that includes everything that happens to human life on the planet within any given 60 second period. Reviewing it, Lem expresses his fascination with this project and points out its inherent flaw. He notes that these tables show "far more statistical evidence of human evil (murders, rapes, starving children) than of human decency". At the same time he remarks that it is impossible to measure "filial or maternal love", or to "gauge the heat of lovers' passions", or to register "those acts of kindness whose authors wished to remain anonymous."
As your parent said, this is also an answer I can understand.

Still, have you guys looked at alternatives -- and seriously evaluate them? Rust, Zig, Nim, D, others?

If you tell me "we can't afford to, we have too much work" then that's also a valid answer (for a while at least).

this only serves to highlight how critical it is for signal to switch to a distributed design. Its a great technology, but worthless if regimes can just QoS it into oblivion or block it entirely.
I recently purchased a 2020 Honda Odyssey. I hate the touchscreen controls, and I hate the button gear shifter (i.e. press a button to reverse...)

For example, it's so difficult to change AC controls w/o looking at the screen. It's very dangerous. I don't do it unless I'm at a light, or if on the highway, no one is around me.

Toyota Sienna still has their AC controls as buttons/knobs, still has a regular shifter, and probably more traditional controls.

But the Sienna was lacking in many other areas...so we went with Odyssey. Looks like we coulda waited a few more years!

The article also refers to "voice control". No, I don't want to yell at my car to lower the AC when my baby is sleeping.

I'm all for innovation...but please leave controls as it is!

I would imagine it's more the one-time cost of the R&D for developing the digital menu system vs per-unit hardware costs for the dials/buttons over time.
I'd love for someone who's in the industry or an actual pilot to comment on this because I'm frankly not sure about what common scope AFBs have on commercial airliners, and what the backup procedures are if they fail. For private pilots, I know bringing an iPad up is common these days, but I think (and sure hope) commercial flight is a lot more risk averse and slow to adopt these things without thorough procedure.

> That said, it's very hard to time the market, so the best strategy is to put your money in over time. One good way to do this is to take a set amount of money from each paycheck and invest it every pay period, regardless of what the market is at. If you have a bunch of money sitting in savings right now, maybe divide it into 52 parts (or 104 or 156 or even 208 depending on your risk tolerance and/or thoughts on how long this market decline will last) and invest that amount each week.

It seems counterintuitive but dollar-cost averaging is really just another way of timing the market. The only way to avoid the downfalls of market timing is to invest everything you want to invest, as soon as you can. Dollar-cost averaging typically loses compared to that strategy.

If you’re interested in a good entry point, undergraduate business business programs often call that first class “Production and Operations Management” or a close variant.

I haven’t been a business student in a very long time, but back then ambitious students would often do a six course semester where they would do a full load at my school and grab POM via distance learning. That school and their POM class still exist.

https://www.athabascau.ca/syllabi/mgsc/mgsc368.php

You’ll be able to get some terms to search for there, find a textbook and I’d bet anything that if you started plugging chapter titles into YouTube, you could find lectures.

I was too busy starting businesses in business school to have been a very good business student so I can’t claim any expertise on subfields within POM. As far as what they teach, it depends a lot on the exact part of POM you get into. Some is pure mathematical analysis but there is a lot of overlap with cost accounting, human resources and marketing. The projection side is part math, part marketing and part guesswork. The costing side gets really deep into accounting and Human Resources. Some subfields focus heavily on union and industrial relations. You’ll find subfields that delve into OH&S for reasons you don’t want to think too deeply about.
I like physical controls better, but I don't think that's a totally realistic contrast. Neither touchscreens nor knobs necessarily demand you look. I've known lots of people who looked while using physical buttons, and I can do my common touchscreen tasks in my car (e.g. switch to Bluetooth, hit play or pause) without looking. I suspect most people will look in both cases.
Genuine question: if it isn't a contract, what legal purpose does a terms of service serve then? I assume any website serving a non-paying user has the right to terminate any services at any point, no reason given. A ToS might establish credibility among users as an open display of policy, but I don't see a legal purpose.

> I mean, the other point of a dynamic interface is that you can now have more controls than would fit on a static interface.

I think this point is lost sometimes, but is also useful. My car has a lot of physical controls. Some of the ones that are useful during driving are tucked inconveniently below my left knee!

Moving some less frequently used controls to a touch screen might actually benefit some of these designs.

1) Once again, inflation does not work that way. If it did, it would have been out of control in 2009. Instead, it was near zero. The same thing is happening right now.

2) The idea that 2-3% inflation is "really really serious" is completely absurd. I'm guessing you're young because historical US inflation prior to the ridiculous post-2009 financial situation had long periods of being well above 3% and the sky didn't fall. Inflation above what we've seen in the last decade is not necessarily a bad thing.
OP was making an appeal to authority, that avionics manufacturers know what they're doing and decided against touchscreens. So IMO it does strongly refute OP's argument.

I don't find that to be the case. I'm usually looking for bigger things like:
1. making multiple trips to a relational database when a single statement joining tables can make it one trip;
2. not handling exceptions that can cause data loss or data corruption.

(I'm not trying to be exhaustive. The examples above are common ones I've seen regularly and they make me cringe.)

I don't need to know the variable names used in these cases. The very act of not using a relational database properly or not handling exceptions is easy to spot.

Where is the discontinuity implied? It seems like there is a continuum between entirely engineered environments and largely untouched ones. The latter is considered natural, hence "nature" as an expression of one part of the continuum.

Of course there are other uses of the word, such as "nature finds a way" meaning that biological life will adapt to engineered environments too. But this the usual inadequacy of human language, the same word can have multiple, even conflicting meanings.

Anyway, if you wish to convey some important concept better you should name it so it can be discussed instead of just pointing at other concepts and declaring them inadequate. This is what confuses me about this discussion, the lack of proposed improvements.
