Also, glass windscreens are a liability - I imagine damage caused by FOD impact kicked-up on the runway during takeoff to a glass nose would be far more expensive than whatever material they use today is.

And what about my dometers? Speed, o? In a traditional car, my eyes adjust, and I can read them without additional light.

At least an oled could maybe be themed to have tiny, red dometers... and being oled, no backlight...

It still leaves the issue that one has to turn their head to see it... but, better than nothing....
When internal body temperatures start nearing 40 degrees celcius, there starts to be a real risk of dehydration. Anything above that starts nearing deathly levels, generally a temperature of 42 celcius will start leading to permanent brain damage and death. So uh, if a body temp is already at 42 it starts to be a bit late going to the hospital :D

Hey! Nice article there!
While I personally believe cost is living adjustments to be morally questionable, one might as well argue that people of similar skill level should enjoy a similar level of living comfort. And the latter would imply that people in expensive areas need to receive more money for the same job.

But overall, this post to me illustrates why a company is better off cleanly firing past employees after a tech acquisition instead of trying to integrate them into the new company structure. Trying to treat your employees nicely opens you up to more criticism than firing them (as they fear and expect).

"Culture" as concept is often vague, unpersonal and non-constructive. Sure it beats process for breakfast, but what is the work required to remedy the inevitable deterioration of culture?

There may need to be small concrete, nurturing steps to focus on, in never ending spirals of improvements, on team levels as well as across functions:

* Do you feel supported at work? Why would anyone believe lack of support is healthy for the organization?

* Are there low barriers to collaboration across organizational boundaries? How much impact can anybody have if they're not getting much say, even inside their own teams?

* Are goals clear enough for steady progress? What is even the point of measuring, if there's no clear consensus of goals to collaborate towards as teams?

* Are some groups always left out of the loop? What do leaders expect letting an organization limping around?

* Is there freedom to explore initiatives aligned with strategy and goals, or where will creative output go otherwise?

Etc.

I think you're absolutely right. In my experience

1. There is much more supply than demand in terms of Machine Learning and Data Science. There aren't actually that many jobs outside of research, it's just that the hype makes it look that way. Now that all these PhDs seem to be starting in ML, I wonder what they will do in 4-5 years when they finish the degree. I don't think a market for them will exist.

2. Many companies don't know what they are doing. They are hiring ML people because they want to put AI into their marketing materials. In reality, they don't need ML, they just need someone collecting data, building a database, and running a query. They just don't realize that's the case. The same happened with "Data Science" and "Big Data" - What most companies needed were software engineers building infrastructure and data collection, not people running sklearn.

This was a great article and I learned a few new tricks.

I learned CSS over the years by gradually solving problems I encountered building apps. Compare this to people learning CSS now as evidenced by the #100DaysOfCode tag on Twitter. The learning technique is comprised primarily of using gradient-heavy, absolutely positioned HTML elements to create a photo-realistic, 3D rendering of objects.

The results are pretty amazing, but I have my doubts about whether these skills are easily translatable for building an interactive, responsive UI. Some examples:

The https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ems_Dispatch started the Franco-Prussian war.

Bismarck released his carefully worded readout in the evening of Thursday, 14 July 1870. Assuming the french were "making the bridge" for Bastille Day, they would have had one working day (Monday, 18 July 1870) to fact check, but I don't know if they took even that, because according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causes_of_the_Franco-Prussian_... , on 19 July 1870 "Le Sourd, the French Chargé d'Affaires, delivered Napoleon [III]'s declaration of war at the Foreign Office" in Berlin.

https://scholar.dominican.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=11... suggests the french were already mobilising on 14 July itself, and that while telegraph use may technically have been possible, US diplomats were still communicating by snail mail with State.

That emotion won over fact checking is supported by Ch. I p.3

> Washburne dismissed the accuracy of the Ems telegram because it had been challenged by King Wilhelm. "There is no truth in the reports concerning the indignity which the King of the North German Confederation offered to Benedetti, the Envoy of France." Washburne based this statement on a published denial by the King which he had read in Cologne while returning to Paris. Though he questioned the veracity of the Ems telegram, Washburne still credited it with arousing the French Chamber of Deputies to vote for war.

(the war vote was Friday, 15 July. It might be interesting to see if any french papers had carried Wilhelm's version of events.)
It's always seemed odd to me that on the one hand material design admits how important the physicality of an interface can be, as well as our spatial understanding of it, but on the other hand tries to eliminate the most established examples of those things. Why talk about shape and depth if you then eliminate shape and depth on the most important UI widgets?

I do think there's great promise to the core idea of treating data in our UIs like we'd treat, for example, pieces of paper on our desk, or pages in a book, but just more efficiently. For example I've always felt that a music app built around a paradigm of piles or boxes of songs, interacted with very physically and naturally to build playlists, would be wonderful (especially versus the current state of the iOS music app). However most of the time it's just flatness for flatness's sake, and an excuse for designers to go wild with minimalism.

I agree. All of these are risky operations where I vet the source before running the code. (and for that reason I prefer to stick to software in my distro's repos, when possible).

Sometimes I am able to vet the source directly, like with bash scripts. I prefer this. Other times, I have to make do with verifying the reputation of the distributor.

Since everyone is talking about hype in ML, I wish there was some hype for good ole' conversional scientific computing. Yes, it's not so sexy, you have to build your own model yourself, and then the hard work is in finding and verifying a suitable numerical method and finally devising a solid implementation. It requires a vast number of different skills, anything from pure math to low level programming and it is definitely not trivial work, but it does not seem like it pays that well.

Yes, there are sharks out there who do poor work. That's why we should expect the government procurement process to be competent. If the government hires a shark, the shark is not suddenly going to change. We should be holding the government responsible for hiring the shark in the first place.

When a government hires a consulting firm to perform a service, the responsibility does not shift to the firm - it remains with the government.

When procuring the system, did the government provide adequate requirements? Did they perform proper diligence in selecting the consultant? Did they provide proper oversight of the work?

The answer is rarely 'yes' to all of these questions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_index:

There are two main variants of inverted indexes: A record-level inverted index (or inverted file index or just inverted file) contains a list of references to documents for each word. A word-level inverted index (or full inverted index or inverted list) additionally contains the positions of each word within a document.

TL;DR, for every (key)word, list its file and position. A smart IDE implementation would also need to take file rename and move into account, and translate byte positions to line numbers for quick jump-to-file.
> Do they mean the Hebrews?

According to [1]:

> The Hyksos... were people of probable Levantine origin, who established the Fifteenth Dynasty of Egypt (1650–1550 BC) based at the city of Avaris in the Nile delta, from where they ruled the northern part of the country. While the Hellenistic Egyptian historian Manetho portrayed the Hyksos as invaders and oppressors, modern Egyptology no longer believes that the Hyksos conquered Egypt in an invasion. Instead, Hyksos rule had been preceded by groups of Canaanite peoples settled in the eastern delta who probably seceded from central Egyptian control near the end of the Thirteenth Dynasty.

So Canaanites [2]. The paper supports the theory that Hykos were settlers rather than invaders.

I had an IMAP account that, when deleted from the server (the company closed and closed their GSuite accounts), was rendered impossible to access from TB. But afaik the emails where there, given the space that the TB folder occupied on the hard disk.

I saw some conversations about how if you want to have a local copy of emails and be sure that server errors (or server dissappearance, as it was the case) won't affect your access to old email copies, you should manually copy them to the Local Folders section within TB.

Does anybody know what is the "best practices" for keeping access to downloaded emails and not lose them if the server closes? Should I be copying every email to the Local Folders storage?

I've flown on the 747 only twice.

The last time was just this year before COVID hit, when a Storm Ciara shut down down London Heathrow for 2 days. I 'volunteered' to postpone my flight without making a fuss, since I absolutely didn't mind extending my v̶a̶c̶a̶t̶i̶o̶n̶ business trip by a couple of days.

Though I was half expecting, half wishing for it, BA bumped me up to business class and that too on the upper deck. I like to think they did that because of the inconvenience they thought they subjected me to. It wasn't a window seat but I couldn't care less. There are only 5 rows of seats upstairs, so it really did feel like being in a private jet, with 2 attendants just for those 5 rows. Especially since the upper deck is a comfortable 2-2 configuration with an extra wide aisle, as opposed to the packed 2-4-2 configuration on the lower deck, even for business class. [1]

That was my last flight this year and I'm grateful that I could have been lucky enough to experience this before the 747s were retired; now I'm left wondering how flying again in economy would feel like having experienced this.

Having worked in safety critical systems software, I'd say it was a multipoint failure. While the initial problem was the decision to use MCAS to get through without retraining, any person working on the software should also have realized that relying on a single input is not ok.

It was management failure + requirements engineering failure + software engineering failure.

It was caused by management's greed and short-sightedness, but it could have been caught at more points in the process.
The thinking is based on the budget and also to make managers show "managerial courage" that they are capable of delivering bad news.

With a knowledge of finance and software development, you should be able to choose jobs that use both but focus on either... I would expect such jobs to pay extremely well and there to be plenty of them, even if your current skills are a bit rusty!?! Maybe you're just overly reluctant to start looking for other jobs?
I LOVE JIRA. The team that I run has a high level of overhead with the system that we have built and support (just due to the nature of what we do) ans we have constructed a great operations dashboard using Jira. I extensively use Epics, Labels and Components to slice and dice our tickets to keep track of where my team spends their time, what parts of our system are problematic, etc.

The Dashboard within Jira that we created has been really great as I have been using it along the charts it produces to communicate with my business partners. The data that we collect isn't perfect, but its good enough to construct a narrative that my business partners can grok. I have most recently used this information to help in successful pitch for a strategic re-design of our systems as well as an ambitious resourcing proposal to go along with it. Knowing how much of your time is lost to overhead allows me to plan ahead and justify the people that I need to make the redesign happen.

Jira having an API has been a real boon too. Personally I have used it with Python to mine for additional data that I need in reporting where the Jira dashboard is insufficient. I have also had my team's dedicate DevOps engineer drive all sorts of integrated work flow automation to ease the development process. My team operates within a large bureaucratic organization, so having the capability to automate all the artifacts for compliance has been a real time savings.

The integration with Confluence is awesome. It really makes managing my teams work so much easier. I love to collect meeting feedback notes in confluence and then tag the bullet points with Jira tasks that I create as follow up work. The Jira issue tables driven by JQL (Jiras Issue Query Language) are super useful when I need to create project plans that combine a mixture of content. I love just dropping in a list of all the tickets that we have outstanding.

I would not be nearly as effective w/o the combination of both tools.

It feels like HTML and CSS could be useful for print layout, but I’ve rarely seen a high quality PDF renderer.

I know Atom’s markdown preview uses headless chrome under the hood. These are hugely heavyweight tools but the output is very high quality.

Are there any other recommended tools for going an HTML route, for typesetting? I’d much rather design pages that way than use InDesign, PDF scripting, or TeX.
