The F-22 had plenty of problems during development as well. One reason that you don't hear about the problems is because the F-22 was never sold to foreign countries, so it was easier to keep quiet about the issues. If an issue was deemed a vulnerability it could be declared classified and illegal to discuss publicly. And anything that wouldn't be deemed a vulnerability isn't worth discussing on the news.

In contrast, the F-35 has a crazy fast development timeline, and is being sold to several countries. So they are biting off a much bigger chunk, and being much more public about it as part of the political game. So it's harder to keep quiet when you make a huge deal about showing up at an airshow in the UK and then have to cancel because your fleet got grounded because of fuel system issues. The overall difference isn't that the F-35 has more problems, it's just that they are finding them quicker and you're actually hearing about them. (Edit: the missed airshow was because of engine fires, the fuel system was a separate issue- sorry for the mistake. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/industry/de...)

The F-22 has also killed pilots, caused others to eject with unknown causes, and had other reports of pilots losing consciousness but eventually recovering. They grounded the whole fleet several years ago, the oxygen generation system has been the subject of several complaints. This probably wouldn't have made the news either except for the fact that people died.
That's assuming that not having to struggle pay check to pay check won't create more opportunities for people to study and create value. Just look at countries like Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Norway, Austria etc.
This shouldn't come across as flippant but how can you be productive if you never think deeply?
Posting this before reading the article :-

Back in circa July 2016 I was fascinated with both Shazam and Prisma, with the latter being newly launched and being quite the rage on the internet.

I found a paper which described how Prisma worked (believe that was released by the makers themselves), but Shazam remained elusive.

This post should get me upto speed.

PS - kindly correct me if I am grammatically wrong anywhere _ /\ _
“Possession is 9/10th the law” has a lot of truth to it. The liability here should rest with the airline as bailee, but they disclaim liability beyond some trivial amount, so the bailor (traveller) is taking a risk by failing to “manifest the desire to exclude others” without adequate protection.
It's a new addition, so I'm giving it time to see how it's going to be used in the wild and although I kinda like OP's take, the ones with giant images, GIFs, too much text... I'm not so sure. Maybe it's just like this now because it's a shiny new toy and people are pushing its boundaries but will die down later.

I'm lightly skewing towards just hiding it with a custom rule and forget about them. I visit a Github profile to quickly see what the developer codes instead of a showcase of their personality which, as you said, would be better served by a personal website.
I felt that "master"/"slave" was imprecise and just kind of weird terminology long ago before it was flagged as problematic. "leader"/"replica" describes the behavior better.
Think about a company as an entity that invests in projects with the goal of maximizing the time-adjusted return. The company must fund those projects with either debt or equity, and each funding source has a cost. The optimal debt load is one such that the projects undertaken by the company are funded at the lowest cost.
Moving from Siloed Organizations to Distributed Individuals
I worked at a company (who shall remain nameless) where the recruiters would "pad the requirements" asked for because it would draw in "more qualified candidates and people lie on their resumes anyway". I shit you not. I was aghast at this statement when I asked.... Needless to say, I just walked away from that particular conversation.
Ask HN: How do you get senpai in a field (e.g. Haskell) to notice you remotely?
Let's say you have 10~14 hours of free time a week outside of work to commit to any project you want.

And let's say you have the basic knowledge of things in a particular field (e.g. you know a monad is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors!) and the determination to get senpais (先輩) in the field (e.g. Haskell) to notice you, which may take a couple of years but you are determined to make acquaintances with senpais because they are really cool! And you want to really good in the field. Someday you want to be like senpais.

So here is my "Ask HN":

Without attending on-site meet-ups and events and conferences and meeting senpais in person, (and supposed you don't have any mutual connections with senpais), how do you go about getting senpais to notice you i.e. in a remote setting and without through a reference?

Is it even possible?

It has occured to me that "meeting" people online (or "e-meeting" in general) is often kind of a come-and-go thing, espeically if there isn't anything off-site that "meaningfully" holds the connection e.g. institutions like universities, or through an organisation, etc.
Really good point - there was a bunch of other restrictions/lifestyle changes that probably helped contribute. I think the main one was going from two cups of coffee (morning, and then afternoon) to one cup (morning) really helped me.

Also the recommendation that if I couldn’t fall asleep within 15-ish minutes, to get out of bed and do something until I’m tired again instead of lay there and “try” to sleep.
> Wouldn’t primary/replica and allowlist/denylist be more explicit anyway?

Possibly! But the main reasons I've seen people are arguing in favour of different terms are moral rather than practical. - I don't think moral reasoning mixes well with practical reasoning. (If it were morally worse, but practically better, would it be better overall?).
I recommend the Satipatthana Sutta by the Buddha. It will change your life if you do what it says. Sad I hadn't heard of it 20 years before.
I'd argue it's more post traumatic stress derived hypersensitivity (leading to irrational reasoning, the whole "blind rage" spectrum of emotion disrupting logic development) than say mommy/daddy issues.
Blacklist has been part of the English language for roughly 400 years, and is far more common than "denylist" or the other alternatives being used such as "blocklist". There is no reason to argue that those trend are any more accurate (not to mention it has never been about race).

As for master/slave, I think changing over to primary/replica makes a bit more sense, though then we should also ban the word "robot" while we are at it.

Ah. Thanks for the correction. I will note that.

Yeah, that's why I said "I think."

LOTS of misattributed quotes out there.

My fave is "Don't believe everything you read on the Internet." -Abraham Lincoln.

UPDATED TO ADD:

I preface my Medium posts[0] with quotes, and those, I tend to research a bit more exhaustively. One of my entries[1] is prefaced by the quote "A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for."

The quote is by John A. Shedd[2], but is often attributed to Grace Hopper, who used it one of her speeches.

To people upset about master/slave in CS terminology I say: fair enough. We can find metaphors for our tools without punching down.

To people upset about CHANGING the terminology: I would ask.. Y so mad?
Yeaaaah, if you could rename your ethnic group to something more inclusive, that would be greaaat. Thanks.
Good luck telling your state workers that they all need to take a pay cut (which is what lower pension returns really are) and/or your local citizens that they'll face a tax hike (if you don't want the state workers to take the hit), because you read in the FT that "companies are addicted to debt", and that we have this hunch that all this debt will collapse at some unknown time in the future.
Then please call it Germany, not Europe and we're all good.
Same here. SO is good for answers, but I've been chased off trying to participate too many times now. The community is toxic even to people that have lurked there for a decade.
A hot take, and one that's decidedly untrue. Most of the world that's implemented the necessary controls for this pandemic has been able to slowly and effectively reopen (albeit in phases and in a process that's very much still ongoing).
ASMR works well for me, most of the time (quality of ASMR matters - what's popular is just clickbait and not great content). Other times I need to meditate for a while to calm down and clear my head.

Personally, the most important thing for me is to not work or think about anything that would get me in the obsessive problem-solving or worry mode, around the bed time hours.
When the terrorist group ISIS rose to prominence in 2014, many product names and even company names were changed to avoid connection with ISIS. For instance, in the computer world, Cornell's Isis distributed computing library was renamed Vsync. These changes seemed to be uncontroversial; I didn't find any HN discussion of the Vsync name change.

This shows that there is precedence for widespread name changes if a name becomes offensive.

> In all honesty, it doesn't matter how you feel about it. I do feel strongly about it

So you feeling strongly about it means that you get to decide another person, who has been a member of this community much longer than you, no longer gets a say? Ideas like this are infinitely more damaging than any technical terminology could ever be.
The problem there is that it makes for a confusing messaging strategy from the company. How does Google think I should do video calls? Hangouts? Hangouts Meet? Duo? And there's probably other options that I've forgotten, and I'm the best case here because I work at Google.
It’s part of the standard terms & conditions, like burying it in software EULA, and because it is standard in the industry, they don’t have to call it out in any special way or get separate waivers. You agree to it when you buy your ticket.
Sandboxie is one of the few programs that I allow to autostart on my Windows installations. It is an ingenious piece of software with a dead simple yet extremely powerful interface. Glad to see it’s free software/open source instead of just dying a slow death. It’s saved my ass more than once and made my life a lot easier.

We smart people can always hire other serfs. ;)

No, sorry. I agree everybody deserves to be treated with respect, but in my experience many people who talk the talk you talk do not walk the walk at all: if they get a chance to crush somebody smarter or more able than themselves many have no limits whatsoever (except avoiding practical consequences to themselves)...

The thing with people like Feynman who are driven by curiosity is that they are not always “super nice”, but they get no joy out of ridiculing or humiliating other people, the way a lot of “small people” do, unfortunately. I’d much prefer being teased by Feynman than being verbally abused by some of the power and money hungry mediocre people I’ve come across.
So it's impossible for you to create a new context where those words mean something different?
Ah, this is standard python. For instance, «5 < x < 8» converts to «5 < x and x < 8». So «5 years experience and experience in FastAPI» is the pythonic reading of that job ad.
Completely agree. Being mentally drained and physically drained are completely different things. I personally think we need a balance of physical and mental pursuits in our lives to be truly healthy. Anecdotally, my insomnia has improved massively since I started running for an hour every day after work a few years ago. Even so, I wish my job didn't require me to be so sedentary.
I like "The Rust Programming Language" by Steve Kablink. It really changed my life. And it's free. (We should put this book in hotel rooms.)

I really like the gender duality of the russian and the other slavic languages: п_зда/п_здец, х_й/х_йня, etc. And so there is a masculine pendant of к_рва in them, AFAIK.

Do you mean "most politically connected" or "best marketed at the right time?" Outside of products being used by state agencies, I don't think political connections have much bearing...
i think you should have make a stand. I know i wouldn't tolerate this kind of BS to actually interfere with the quality of my work (naming things is hard enough without considering the current political sensitivity of the day).

We should find names that reflects the concept best, while keeping its meaning understandable. Period.

Try going for a 5min jog after work even if you feel exhausted. Tell yourself just 5 mins. Then re-assess your fatigue after 5mins.
Slave/master are English words though, so what matters is their meaning and connotations in the English language.
Although I suspect that may be bait, when you look at everything from that perspective everything looks gender related. Just because they hired a woman to do the job has nothing to do with it.

Tribalism around gender, race, nationality etc. serves only to divide us into smaller and smaller groups.
While I'm sympathetic to the idea of being respectful of everyone, I question whether these changes make any meaningful difference at all.

Was anyone offended by these terms and called for change? Or was this a preemptive move by those thinking something along the lines of, "Gosh, what if someone else sees this? They might get the wrong idea! Better remove it."

I suppose black box testing is on the chopping block next? Or Master's degree/thesis?
The comments here on HN seem really knee-jerk. Some people like to claim no one is made to feel erased or reminded of their otherness when they hear this terminology. Some people seem to think we can't walk and chew gum at the same time.

What I see are people criticizing these changes because of a fear that perhaps, on some level, they have participated in a language and a culture that continues to demean or ostracize others. It is not a good feeling to realize this. Please ask yourselves why you are so attached to using terms like master/slave. If it had been different from the start, would you even care?
Please get started, especially for the cell phone. I'll wait :-)

But do it from first principles, I want to see ore mining going on :-D

Not the only reason. A combination of CD targeting a useable spectrum just above 20KHz (human hearing) which meant having more than double due to Shannon-Nyqvist ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyquist–Shannon_sampling_the... ). With the need of filter cutoff on the high end, 44000 was enough to avoid aliasing and still have a good useable spectrum.

The second part is finding a good sample rate that you can easily clock on VHS. That’s where the this stems from although they technically could have gone for a different sample rate at a lower bit depth. 44100 ended up being a good trade off between different requirements.
>Right now they have no incentive to improve themselves or prevent theft by underpaid, overworked baggage handlers.

>Every suitcase is labeled with a name and a flight. They know exactly who the baggage belongs to, they just can't be bothered to call people who forgot a suitcase or send people their luggage back.

They do have an incentive: The $3k compensation. The fact that that's not enough, shows that it's a bit more complex then calling people.

>I don't see why we should accept anything other than either return of the baggage or full compensation.

Because otherwise accepting luggage would be to risky for airlines, or, as another commenter suggested, they'd have to make people buy insurance.

> I often have a similar dicussion around "let". Many of my C++ programmer colleagues seem to think that "let" is an arbitrary name to differentiate itself for the sake of it where "auto" would suffice. But what they don't see is that let is an entirely different thing (bindings, pattern matching, etc) that would be misleading to present with "auto", let alone C/C++'s type-name-value syntax.

Not to mention that "let" came from ML. The idea that they "deviated" from C++ syntax is wrong, because they didn't take the feature from C++ at all.

Then that's not really making $199,000 a year. They'd be making $99,500 which is less than the profit-maximizing scenario that pays $100,000

This is a good example, I think, of the kind of pandemic coverage that actively contributes to America's inability to respond. The author is nominally on the side of controlling the pandemic, but with such a toxic attitude about it, I can't imagine this article swings people to his side on average. He says "it’s too late", we're in the "Plague States of America", "there’s nothing America can do but wait" - why should anyone make personal sacrifices to help control the coronavirus if it's so hopeless?
https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/black

Check out the large number of senses in which the word ‘black’ represents something negative. Vice versa for ‘white’, ‘light’, ‘dark’, and more.

This issue runs very, very deep in the English language.

I guess this was behind the late-20th-century culture of deprecating the word black and replacing it with words like “colored”. As if that era had conceded that ‘black’ was an intrinsically judgemental word and should no longer be used to refer to people.

But there was no getting away from the fact that the African skin tone really was black, and so denying use of the word black began to feel more offensive, as if it were something shameful to which attention should not be called. “Don’t worry, son, you’re not really black, you’re colored.” Pretty rough, right?

And so we seem to have flipped in the other direction, and the word ‘black’ is increasingly worn proudly.

So if ‘black’ is now to have a positive sense, it is all those negative senses which must come under scrutiny.

I don’t know what the answer is, but I wonder how we manage to use the word ‘black’ for hair color without negative connotations.
Instead of actually helping these people we coddle them further by changing words? That's equivalent to defunding the police, a simple shallow action, but doesn't actually address the actual racism and lack of accountability (that affects all races) of police actions. It's coddling and it's lazy - and the mob will start calling people, if they haven't already started, people and organizations who don't change the language as racists - a false accusation but it rallies the mob and doesn't lead to critical thinking.
I dunno, maybe let's get started. I would guess it is called white noise by analogy to analog TV static, which even though it has black pixels in it at any time, appears white to the eye. But interesting question.
I don't feel you're arguing in good faith.

We should define "offensive language." How will we measure it fairly? Will we poll the english-speaking and set a thresh-hold?

Because I sure hope we don't find out "aborting" a process is offensive language to religious coders with a polical agenda.

So you acknowledge that the slave/master terminology carries associations to human slavery. You just think is would be an Orwellian erasure of history to disconnect OS terminology from the historical reality?
Same thing at Google. I think the biggest difference between the prestigious/high-paying tech companies and programmers at more conventional companies, is that at the former you find basically no dead weight engineers. At least, I never saw any at Amazon or Google.
In what way did it change your life ?
ECM fights happen every day. Every time a eurofighter flies near a boarder. Every time a russian bomber goes on an overseas trip. Radars are always looking and testing themselves. Jamming of things like GPS is so normal that it is expected on every flight in many areas. Jamming of military radars would be a classified event, but as with submarines, aggression does not require physical violence and so would not always make the news.
Very true about the politically-connected team winning.

That said, the high level point is even without the M&A lever, these companies can still succeed by doing things that seem wasteful. FB is a good example with Snap. They didn't have the M&A lever (for different reasons in that case), but they just built Stories into Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger. If you were willing to spend billions on M&A you can just spend them internally. And you don't even need to build a free-market best product, because you have a brand and user base that startups don't.

In any case, I do hope that alone isn't enough to keep big companies entrenched.

Also hi Scott!

I worked for a German company in Austria in my early 20's. I lived more or less pay check to pay check (also happened to be they best years of my life).

Sine then I have worked reasonably hard, and created a career for myself. I don't enjoy my work like I did in those days. I am not rich, but I don't worry about money.

What would you suggest gets done?
Yes, it’s an old usage just as niggardly or denigrate predate a word they’re often assumed to be derived from. The point is that people have to think about that in a context where they otherwise wouldn’t, and it costs so very little to avoid that.

Many projects have replaced these terms with more accurate ones in the past and it’s a very minor shift. It took very little time to do and years later, only aggrieved right-wing activists are still talking about it. Everyone else is just using software without the distraction of wondering about the origins of the terms they’re using.
