There's way more to it actually.

The Flight Computer as architected was found to be a single point-of-failure with a catastrophic failure mode with the software as delivered. That's a big fat no-no. Even if it was only under the most unlikely circumstances possible, you don't design a system that can fail that way, even in theory. Murphy is considered to always find a way, so you must be able to survive that casualty.

Therefore, they had to rearchitect the software with greater redundancy, which in aerospace, comes with such a load of verification burden as to be a majority of the work on it's own, especially given as it will almost guaranteed change the operating interface procedurewise in some way for pilots. Throw in the issues getting all international regulators independent buy-in, and fix wish lists, negotiating through those, documenting and publishing training and maintenance material updates...

There were also deeper problems from at least a reading of regulations from my point of view with how interpretations of statutory regulation have evolved, but unfortunately, those are beyond any ability of me to confirm or comment on ongoing developments as a non-industry insider. (Read: practically just me being pissy because no one in the industry except maybe WalterBright has given me a sufficiently convincing reckoning of.) From my recollection of my digging at the time, there were various statutory test criteria that an MCAS-less MAX could not meet, and thus should not have been certified as a civil transport aircraft if evaluated strictly to the statute as written. Obviously, reading of statute doesn't directly translate to 100% accurate assessments of how it is enforced, as they are written to be understood and convey meaning within an intended audience of specialists (which is it's own problem in my opinion), but nevertheless, back in the bad old days, there were quite the number of test pilots who felt that as time went on, the loosening of airworthyness standards from "strictly as written" was resulting in a slippery slope which was resulting in aircraft that were increasingly less capable of being fully understood by pilots, and potentially more dangerous in the event of substantial problems developing with their automation systems.

Obviously, we can see how history resolved that debate, but our forebearer's on the losing side of that argument sadly do win their "I told you so"s.

See the D.P. Davies Interviews with the Royal Aeronautical Society for more on that and some good listening.

I was actually wondering if the font really looked similar to comic sans intentionally. I was already thinking "might that be a reason to why it's unconciously used a lot?"
My mistake. Please see this link: https://privateanalytix.com/remove-google-analytics/
Yes this is exactly the risk: developers become dependent on the VSCode extension ecosystem, while thinking they are safely using only FOSS tools.

This is the kind of double-speak which lets MS have the best of both worlds. From a marketing/developer relations perspective, developers think they are using open-source tools. But in actuality, developers are investing in workflows where MS is a critical link in the chain.
He does link to an article [0] that mostly talks about multi-platform Go and uses Rust as a language that doesn't have these problems, to the same degree at least.

The gist of the article is that, while Go might very well compile easily on multiple platforms, it does so not by solving the complexities inherent with this problem but rather by merely hiding them from the user.

There are plenty of examples in the article so I won't elaborate on that part but his examples mostly revolve around $(platform)-specific features being poorly poly-filled on non-$(platform) platforms.

My favorite is how there's no way to PRINT.

Pathetic.
I do not understand people with allergy to non OSS.

Compare that to any google service which barely releases the clients as open source, and the clients usually are so complex that may need quite long time to get any professional developer productive in such complex code bases. Also being tied to a controlled protocol, set of libraries, cloud infrastructure which does actually keep your data is in fact the actual evil that Free Software wanted to save us.

At the end it is just corporations fighting for their users and giving free candy (OSS Clients) so they get some traction. I do not expect that to change and I do not thing companies should either keep their servers OSS just for the sake of keeping OSS folks happy.

I am more concerned about law compliance and companies respecting my rights, and providing good user support when necessary. Also the next freedom battle should be to accept any system to plug in to any other "cloud" provider service (as much as we do with electricity, phone, etc) and in this regard Microsoft is way ahead of Google and Apple yet still far from an utopian free interexchangeable stack.
>> I haven’t written a migration in 1+ years

This.

Above should be the goal of every database backed application framework. A really well balanced post (author is super modest).

>> Dialect support is no picnic.

Are you doing SQL statement parsing here for diff of pg ? This can lead to lot of work if you want to add other databases.

@awinter-py : have a look at our approach to schema migrations - we hand a GUI DB application to devs and it generates schema migrations as you change database. The goal is still the same - backend devs should never write schema migrations.

Not sure where they took multiple days. Same bank: couple of minutes. Different bank: depends of the time of the day. If you missed the last clearing, the transfer will happen next day. Otherwise clearing was done 3-4 times per day. So the only way for the payment to be delayed for days would be making on Firday evening.
Country-specific thing, most likely.
Natural uranium is 0.7% U-235, and enrichments of 80%+ are needed for U-based weapons (like Little Boy). The enrichment process used during the Manhattan project (electromagnetic and then gaseous) not perfectly efficient, and there are losses during conversion, but assuming 100% efficiency that means just Little Boy required 8 tons of raw U.

If you add up all the work going on, all the experiments, all the piles (reactors) off consuming uranium, this figure doesn’t seem too surprising to me.
The US has seen a slow but sure move towards executive power for a long time now. Congress has passed multiple laws to allow to give the president extra powers under certain conditions repeatedly. Meanwhile, presidents have been taking these powers and using them to do policy work that really should be done by congress. This is why DACA was such a mess, why we've got national emergencies dating back 30 years for the war on drugs[1]. Essentially yes, they can assert that anything is national security, and whilst countries might try appealing to the WTO or such, it's really ineffective.

The joke is that in the US, vehicle registration is handled by the states, and while some states have strict inspection requirements, many states have none whatsoever, or only check emissions. You can still get ticketed for unsafe equipment, though.
Exactly. WTF is the complaining about. Alternative title: Guy wants to do the best for his kid while other parents wine about it on Twitter. If he wasn't wealthy, and sourced the funds from elsewhere, nobody would bat an eye. He'd maybe even be applauded for the resourcefulness. But no, he's rich, I'm not, it's unfair, boohoo
Very nice! Suggestions: a bit more visual distinction between the entries, perhaps change the 1-pixel line to a 5 pixel? Would also be good to have the searched text (gently) highlighted ...
Nah your writing is great, don’t worry. Language is fluid and I think it’s more fun to see it used differently in various places. If it makes sense to you, why not use these words?

Imagine if the person who said the phrase is ‘not right’ told you instead that you poop in the 'wrong' way?

Is there really a ‘wrong’ way to live or wrong way to do things? Or are there just different or alternative ways?
Sure it's easy.
I somehow felt very similarly. In that this is a very cool project, but what does it really solve. People who work with data also actually need Python, do you really expect me to recreate all the Py libs in JS now?

I am really curious what was the author's thinking process here with regards to solving the problem, what in fact was even the problem. Perhaps the author could share their thoughts.

Edit: grammar
This so much!

It al boils down to how much money police can get out of fines and how many licenses they can suspend, AND how easy they can do that.

If they lack measuring equipment, the fine is too low, police won't bother enforcing a law.

The problem with that is because if the only reason they changed their ways is because they lost the competitive advantage, what confidence should you have that they won't change back if they regain market-share?

It doesn't make me feel great about them owning the platform where almost all open source software is hosted, and one of the most dominant tools for writing code.
> It would be an easy outsider error to assume that signal is about how expensive the watch is rather than which expensive watch it is.

Right, although Patek, Vacheron or Lange are significantly more expensive than Rolex and Omega.
There's a big difference between what you know as an abstract fact vs. what seems normal in your society. By definition, normal people do what is normal in their society.

I've lived in the southeastern US, various places in California, China and Europe. The type of consumption that is considered normal is so vastly different in all those places.

In the southeastern US, your whole environment is telling you that eating enormous meals, drinking sugary drinks, etc, is totally normal. If you are responsible, maybe you could cut back a little to "watch your health". But you are starting from an unhealthy default setting and you have to dig yourself out of a pit to get back to 'healthy'. This includes Atlanta, the home of Coke (where I went to college and lived several years).

In southern California or even more so in Europe, the norms are vastly different. Meals are much smaller and sugary drinks aren't assumed. Healthier options are available nearly everywhere.

But in Europe, things go much further than even the healthiest parts of the US. The very composition of basic foods is different - brand name foods are less sugary and contain less preservatives than the same brands in the US, staple foods like bread are less shelf stable but contain less additives, and so on. Things like Kraft Mac & Cheese, Snickers bars and Doritos chips are literally illegal in Europe with their original US formulations and are produced with tweaked ingredients. It's in the very DNA of society to default to a more healthy lifestyle. Sure, it's possible to be unhealthy but the default setting of your environment is much healthier so more people are healthy.

The point is that people operate at a default setting that seems normal for their society. Some will be healthy minded and will outperform the norm for their area, but not everyone will. If you want a healthy population, you need a healthy norm and no amount of telling people to take responsibility is going to fix a society if literally every food easily available is bad for you. There is just a mountain of public health evidence that shows this to be true.
Data-Centric Parallel Programming
I was interested in it but when I saw the corporations supporting it I ended up with a sour taste in my mouth. Reading the rest of the comments it seems more like as an organization with the intention to support their own interests rather than to support the interests of the community.
The answer to this is simple: inertia.

Our customers use Matlab, our colleagues do, all our code, built up over years, is Matlab. Learning a new language incurs a cost, with somewhat unknown long-term payoff.

Julia is, in my opinion, far superior to Matlab (and also better than Python), but I'm stuck with Matlab (and a bit of Python) because of those things.
My understanding is that NDAs only apply to settlements, not to actual judgements. Also, no one wants to settle.
Obviously, there's a big problem with procedures in your university. The software did it job well finding what it should find, then a human should have looked at what it is, instead of you doing meaningless work of chasing lower match score.

TikTok is designed to be a separate firm somehow. Quite different from the arms of wechat, ... partially due to the censorship of china. But it also showed the fundamental problem.

From the scond paper:

"Templer & Arikawa (2006) also found that average IQ correlated significantly with average skin darkness (r = −0.92). The authors offered little explanation of why this trend exists, except that they believed skin colour was related to exposure to certain climates over evolutionary time."

I doubt that scientists today would dare to make such statements, for the fear of being "cancelled".

Looks like a good article. I'll look more closely in a bit.

Re. your comment about discovery, I use an old version of a voice recognition software (dragon). From the help:

"Say "What Can I Say?" to see a list of sample commands you can say in the current application you are using"

So not a problem, at least in voice transcription software.

From the article criticising recognition loss in brevity, which is very true:

> “Paste” is almost never detected correctly.

Yup, so dragon simply expands the phrase to "paste that". It uses such redundancy to fix the problem, and because words are cheap (if you have no voice disability) this IME works well.

I have to say, having used dragon a long time now, I don't see much value in voice command interfaces primarily but it totally shines in plain old text transcription.

I would argue that it's not about intent. The most reliable way to predict the behavior of a corporation is to expect them to take the action which will optimally help their bottom line.

So for instance, the team building VSCode might be the most altruistic FOSS diehards on the planet, but that doesn't matter if the people managing them see an opportunity to leverage their work to profit MS at the expense of developers.

It wasn't chosen at random. It swapped main FC's every boot, and each FC only took one AoA sensor as input. So if one fails, you'd only see it every other flight, and at that, only once you hit a flaps up configuration.

There was no automated cross-check out of the box.

Part of the reason for that setup was that Boeing knew if they implemented a multi-sensor solution, it'd require class D simulator training, which they were trying to avoid at all costs. See the 60 Minutes 737 MAX exposé. They apparently had a whistleblower willing to attest to it.
So don’t use liveshare? It’s still a compelling (Open source) editor without liveshare.
