It wasn't commercially successful enough to continue operating - partly because it wasn't permitted to fly supersonically over the continental US, through some combination of being too noisy and not being made in the US. Boom is the next iteration that addresses that.

> faster pace and smaller changes would lead to global improvements

They need to account for how that changes behavior.

It is like Agile development. Sure, adaptability is good. But it has led non-technicals to treat change as free so they now feel ok writing specs on the fly in meetings, creating half baked tickets, or changing a button's color every 5 minutes. By making change seemingly cheap, demand for it soared.

Smaller changes at a faster pace mean that no thought is being put into them and they are probably being viewed by fewer people before being deployed. In large companies that have a lot of people, that can easily mean that one developer has no idea what others are doing.

It also requires that meaningful feedback be received about them. A friend of mine has a startup and they are endlessly making small tweaks to where things are located. They aren't checking in any meaningful way how that is changing things but rather just guessing based on weekly user numbers.
It’s funny you mention that, because if you keep scrolling to the section “for the haters,” you’ll find a pretty close approximation of my views, and a worthy response to those who scorn another’s preferences because they are against their own, when they aren’t mutually exclusive. It’s okay to have more than one way. It seems like some kind of appeal to correctness or directness or purity of task completion that I don’t understand, but which is very common in computers and software especially.

A poor craftsman blames their tools as the saying goes. A worse one curses their tools. A good craftsman appreciates the shortcomings and limitations of their tools and adapts their tool usage, tool choice, and their very tools themselves if need be. What kind of craftsman criticizes the tools another chooses on matters upon which reasonable people could disagree? Is such a tool unreasonable, or is it the craftsman who criticizes another exercising a preference and doing their own thing their own way?

Not every tool is for every job, nor is every tool for every tool user. Preferences are normal and vary. So should expectations. There’s always another tool. Try not to be the tool but rather the tool user.

Additionally, if you cut your trip time in half you double the number of trips you can take. This is why the metric is Available Seat Miles. In a way it's like making a plane with a capacity of 110-150 pax.
If you don’t need to understand/inspect the details of a HashMap implementation then you are not doing ‘systems programming’. The attitude that ‘someone has done it for me’ and therefore I don’t care about it is not a characteristic of ‘systems programming’. It may be simpler to just use some standard implementation of a data structure, but if that is the case, then you can get by with most of the commonly accepted language paradigms. I’m not saying everyone need to implement a unique hashing algorithm tailored to use case, but that is what systems programming is.

System Programming is the custom tailoring of data conditioning to a particular set of circumstances and then taking responsibility for the benefits and consequences of that those choices that differentiates systems programming from the other broad categories of program construction.

Rust is a fine language if it fits your use case, and you feel as though the purported benefits of the ‘borrow checker’ assist you in writing quality code, but if you just want a programming language that provides a large library of pre-written solutions, then the difference between language is dependent only on use case and usage requirements. Saying Rust is simpler than C because you can use a pre-written HashMap implementation is ridiculous, because you can do the same thing in C (I mean use someone else’s HashMap). But if ‘systems programming’ is the area of interest, being able to inspect/implement the actual HashMap is a key concern, and just dismissing that aspect is not an acceptable proposition.
I think context is key. It's only necessary if you have a scheduled recording. So it should only be obvious if you're setting up a scheduled recording or have one queued up. In those cases it should force your or alert you in an obvious manner that the time is not set.
> Surely if you’re ready for more than 10% of 1-in-10 events, your probabilities are just as wrong as other people’s.

Not necessarily; as Alexander mentioned repeatedly, it depends on the cost of repeatedly preparing unnecessarily versus the cost of not being prepared that one time it happens.

Just about the whole of aviation safety, to give one extended example, is based on this principle.
That is absolutely fantastic!
> Invention is a kind of discovery.

Presumably you would agree that not all of discovery is also invention. So doesn't that restore the original question of asking whether mathematics is an invention or discovery which is not invention?
No idea about pot specifically, but it's not totally impossible for vegetables.

Canada is a net exporter of tomatoes, many of which are grown in massive greenhouses in the middle of nowhere (e.g., https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2016/06/16/473526920/ho...) As the article says, it costs a bit more to grow, but the yield and quality make up for it.
No. It has two problems:

* COVID19 isn't the only threat. Other germs can multiply with time. This is not the time to go to a hospital with an infection.

* When I last looked, there was preliminary evidence COVID itself survives surprisingly long in a mask (I think days)
You get flakey Bluetooth when the two implementations on the two devices differ significantly, or when it is poorly implemented.

... Which is made clearer by the fact that the Bluetooth specification is:

+ Enormous. Even just the core spec, that doesn't include much of what the consumer is interested in, is around 3000 pages long. That's not a typo. 3000 pages to tell you how to make two devices do a handshake. Add in the things that make our devices actually work... And you're asking the software to match what has been written and defined across closer to 5000 pages. Nothing is going to perfectly match between implementations.

+ Badly defined. The original working group that made Bluetooth left behind so much because they couldn't agree on it that it has more "Undefined Behaviour" footguns than C ever did.

One example of some spec text that I've seen argued differently between implementations:

> There is no requirement for the application to insert additional
framing information into the data, although it may do so if this is required

That's before we get to the actual real world problems that Bluetooth has to face and overcome, like being in the 2.4Ghz range and being a frequency hopper.

I want results to be direct links, not something else that redirects.

I want to be able to use URL query strings to specify stuff.

I don't want intrusive CSS/JavaScripts. I have my own settings for fonts, window width, colours, etc, and don't need yours.

I want to be able to tell it to randomize result orders.

I don't want the search to index text which is only available when JavaScript is enabled, try to guess text from pictures, try to follow form submissions at all, etc.

I want to be able to enter advanced search queries, including based on parts of the URL, based on keywords, both exact and approximate matching, and to be able to exclude based on the keywords, based on protocols, on what features the web page may include, MIME types, etc.

I don't want it to try to guess what I mean and correct it; it should instead search for what I type in.

I should hope for good results, when they are available. Options to customize this may help, and maybe also the ability to specify submissions with keywords for feedback so that users can indicate if it is good or not, with the ability to control how well this functions (perhaps with cookies).

If it uses cookies, document what each one does, in order that the user may edit the cookies using their cookies manager to the settings they want. But, allow it to work with cookies read-only or disabled, too.

The search engine should work as well in Lynx as it does in Firefox and other browsers.

It should not be HTTPS-only (although HTTPS is good to have, it shouldn't be mandatory).

It should abide by robots.txt and not index that which is disallowed by the robots.txt.

The user agent string and other request headers it uses should be documented.

I do want it to index plain text files too, and not only HTML.

Another good thing to have would be the ability to set cookies to cause it to permanently exclude certain things by default, if the user wants it (see above about documenting cookies).

I want to be able to get the results in plain text format (and possibly also JSON, CSV/TSV, etc) if the Accept header specifies such a thing.
From my experience, I'd agree with this. I got an Apple bluetooth keyboard from goodwill for $7 (retail ~$95) and used it with my hackintosh. Because it dropped out constantly, I figured I had installed antennas incorrectly, or that the ufl connectors were internally damaged, or… something. After upgrading to the newer (stupidly expensive) Magic Keyboard it works from anywhere in my house, as do my Power Beats Pro.

I don't know if the old (around 11 years old) keyboard had an implementation issue, or slight hardware damage, or what, but the new stuff seems rock solid.
You don't need to build it to test volume and aerodynamics (math and wind-tunnels can figure that out for you). This is probably more about finding unknown flaws in the design/running down risk. Spending however much on a prototype (10s or 100s of millions of dollars) just to marginally reduce the risk that there's a fundamental flaw in your approach makes a lot of sense when you plan to spend 6 billion total to develop the plane.

I think they are a symptom of an underlying problem: building a product not for yourself, but for some imagined customer and need. It puts your product in peril because it adds guesswork. But if you have to do it, personas at least challenge you to put yourself in someone else's mindset.
Fully on board with this newer trend (Svelte also comes to mind) of using only native JavaScript language features to accomplish what other frameworks do using abstractions. It seems like the natural next step as JS matures, as it’s my opinion that old frameworks that made up for JS’s shortcomings by abstracting them away and designing around the language’s limitations are intrinsically unable to natively and sensibly integrate new native language constructs after the fact without somehow changing the core framework itself (e.g. Suspense to integrate async/await in React).

Angular and Ember eventually gave way to Vue and React once dealing with the framework over the language became too cumbersome, and I would imagine Vue and React will eventually give way to “lighter” frameworks once they too become too bloated.

It looks like the event was created on the company's internal system. You cannot expect the company to be OK with keeping this sort of stuff around. Do your organizing using tools outside of the company you're organizing against. You must expect anything pertaining to such activity to be removed swiftly and likely used against you in their fight to quell opposition.
I will note that the author of this piece apparently now makes his money helping wealthy people recover from the so-called emotional debt they incurred while getting rich. So he has zero reason to tell people how to avoid incurring it to begin with and every reason to claim that it's entirely unavoidable.

I, on the other hand, give most of my wisdom away for free, which is one of the reasons I remain poor.

I'm poor in part because I find it morally objectionable to tell people to keep shooting themselves in the foot and to come hire me when the pain and bleeding get bad enough and I will bandage them back up and kiss their boo-boos for a steep fee. I have a bad habit of saying things like "the emperor has no clothes" and "not shooting yourself in the foot is an option here."

On the upside, I've avoided an estimated $9 million dollars in medical expenses. So it's not all downside.

In the interest of not looking like I just must get in the last word (or similar), I will likely step away from this conversation at this point in time.

I remember watching a tech news report on cable TV (yeah, that long ago) about a hot new tech called 'Bluetooth' that was going to revolutionize device interoperability, and the BT chipset would be at most $5 of the device cost.... until that never happened.
I remember salivating over the IIc ads in magazines at the time, also around the time I saw War Games. Don’t think I ever touched one though. And shortly after the Mac came out and a few years the Amiga so its days were numbered.
All of that lies at the feet of management (defined broadly).

The people re-elect Congress consistently. Employers reward resume driven development on the open market. UX people win prizes for how their UIs perform on high-resolution large monitors even when they will be used on mobile.

I think it would be more correct to say that management exerted greater control and deferred to the UX designers who were focused on keeping management happy as management doesn't ever go back and see whether the pretty mockup works.
> I know the instant reaction is "people predict things all the time, some are bound to come out right", but this seems so specific that I think it's not just pure chance... we're just not heeding some of the warnings.

Right. I had not seen this paper. But then, I'm just some anonymous coward who writes a lot about anonymity and privacy.

But if I were, say, an epidemiologist specializing in viral diseases, I would likely have remembered this paper, as soon as I heard about the Wuhan outbreak.

So what stopped that paper's authors from raising an alarm? And what about all the experts who had read it?

And about TFA, given that it doesn't cite that paper, and so explore how it got ignored, it's hard to take it seriously.

Verrrrrry few people earn 3-4 million in the corporate world by 37. Depending on whether you get an undergrad or a masters, that’s ~12-15 years of work. That means you’d have to AVERAGE 200K-333K per year, over your first 12-15 years, to hot that. That’s really, really rare - considering you’d be starting at a much lower salary, you’d have to be at ~$500K by your mid 30s.

Founding startup(s) is really, really hard, but people do it because it’s a chance to get fuck-you money by your 30s/40s. The corporate world rarely offers that, most have to work until 60-65 before they can afford a decent retirement.

That's very weak reasoning, and I felt it was more musing than anything else. What evidence do we have for it not to be true? Why do we think consistency with previous advice trumps scientific evidence here? It feels like a cop-out to rule out a cost-benefit analysis simply because this advice mirrors advice in the past.
Node has an HTTP server in the standard library. A framework it's another thing. My view is that (for example) Go's HTTP implementation will age well, because it is consistent with the design of the rest of the standard library. An HTTP client/server can certainly have a place in a standard library, providing that it is well defined, consistent in style, and keeps its scope sufficiently small.
Speaking of feature bloat...

I hate that ovens and microwaves have clocks on them. I don't need two devices in my kitchen to tell time. It's ridiculous since they usually next to each other, and most of the time have different displays. Just because there is an LCD/whatever, doesn't mean it always has to display something!

At least on the latest power outage, my microwave stopped showing the time. The oven still flashed, so I set that time and only have one clock in my kitchen now.

Even my vehicle has two clocks in it, one on the instrument cluster and one on the infotainment system. So stupid!!!
