If you need to go somewhere with a realistic choice between e.g. driving and flying (which seems quite rare), risk per distance is fine for choosing one or the other via risk per trip. But the implication of it being a realistic choice is that the travel times are comparable, meaning risk per time will also be comparable, and risk per time has the benefit of not producing absurd answers for edge cases like my Mars example.

Every new world-shrinking transportation innovation has changed the distribution of things in the world and increased the distance society expects us to travel on various kinds of "required" trips. That's because time and money are more important than distance in deciding whether a trip is worth it.
This is overly pedantic but you did literally say lets you detect the sequence in a context where the average reader would have parsed the sentence as referring to the capabilities of the device.
I read "providing proper economic benefits to the United States, including the United States Treasury" as just meaning Microsoft will make money (and hence pay tax) on this. Am I being naive?
Interesting, I'd never seen this kind of thing.

You're right, from an evidence-based medicine perspective there is little to no proof that masks work, and some indication that they are counter-productive. There are plenty of people posting links with dozens of papers claiming to prove that they do work, but very few if any of those people seem to have actually read anything on those lists, as none of them claim what the people posting the links claim they claim. (note that I'm not claiming here people should or should not wear them, this is a position-neutral meta observation).

That said, at this point wearing/'believing in' face masks is a political issue, not an evidence based rational choice. It's tribal signaling. Noboby really knows a or b, but choosing to believe a or b has become (yet another) aspect of identity politics. Which is what worries me the most, because now that position has become entrenched, regardless of whether we reach any conclusive findings at some point in the future.
> Lion Air and Ethiopian crashes could have been prevented with better pilot actions.

Boeing tried to say it was the pilots for a long time. I don't want to fly on a plane whereby you need to be an exceptional pilot to not crash the plane.

Further, Lion Air requested additional pilot training. Boeing mocked them for it: https://fortune.com/2020/01/14/boeing-lion-air-extra-737-max...

2 planes crashed really quickly after they were new.

> it’s pretty clear that there are some scary operations going on.

Two really new planes crashing is only due to pilot error?

This is not about the ambitions of the individial in the link, it's an issue of structurally unequal differences that make it harder for black areas to see investment.

Assemble learnt via high level language would encounter a lot of issues as the language provide a lot of feature.

I think it still will work in those cases, as long as both entrance and exit is at the perimeter wall? And that it's the placements of those that determines if left-touching is a viable option. For instance, it doesn't matter if it there's a freestanding wall/loop, as one wouldn't reach that anyway.

More pilot training? The training that was sold to everyone not to be needed? https://fortune.com/2020/01/14/boeing-lion-air-extra-737-max...

It's not the crazy rush to have a new airplane asap? Plus avoiding scrutiny by hiding what MCAS did? Plus hiding scrutiny by having it rely on only one sensor? Plus not assessing MCAS as a new critical system, meaning it should have 2 or 3 sensors as input, plus a new type rating? It wasn't all of that and more.. just some pilot instruction and awareness?

>Is your point that the majority of those may be white and therefore they should've let them crash?

If you truly think that's what I'm saying, we're on very different pages. The pensions have greater political power than the people in black areas. Both of them have the same problem - an unfair pressure that drives costs of lending up - but when it affects the majority rich and white investors, spending money to fix it is much more palatable.
Remote doesn't use Microsoft servers, it uses your servers. C# debugging doesn't use Microsoft servers. C++ debugging doesn't use Microsoft servers. Microsoft only broke these extensions on VSCodium to cripple open-source builds.
Would anyone think this is any different from open core offerings from many other companies?
I know full well about VSCodium, but choose not to use it. For all intents and purposes, VSCode is open source - the source code it freely avaibale on github under an MIT license. AFAIK only the installer and some extensions are not open source - that plainly doesn't mean VSCode itself isn't open source.

VSCode is a fantastic tool, and I'd prefer to use it directly from Microsoft. I am aware that there is telemetry, and as someone conscious of privacy concerns I've looked at what telemetry is sent - I'm satisfied it's anonymised sufficiently and benign enough not to affect my privacy. If the VSCode team really find this data useful, then I'm happy to provide it and help improve VSCode.

I do however think that telemetry in VSCode should be opt-in rather than opt-out.
Let's be frank though, that's nowhere near enough for implementing an actual server.
The majority of electric water heaters in France and Swiss households are controlled by the utility company (Enedis in France, SIG, RECOM, etc. in Switzerland). The signal comes as a simple PLC and thus turns on the relay which turns the heater on.

The advantages are a lower rate and a guaranteed 8 hours straight on-time per day.
Didn't Microsoft become significantly more involved in donating to US politicians after they got hit with that anti-trust case? It'd be very interesting to follow the money here, not sure if there's enough publicly available data to DIY the digging though.
I am all for innovation. But having some behavior of the car being a black box to the driver is recipe for trouble. And of course there are always edge cases that the developers didn't forsee.

The more complicated a car is - the more training will the driver need. So standard drivers license at some point may not be enough.
... you're 100% right, I meant to say music player. Basically the idea is to have something that does have to run in the background constantly, with some updating UI elements (e.g. position slider), but doesn't use too much battery on its own. The issue with a text editor is that unless you have some automated way of entering text it may be hard to compare the two. IRC is maybe not a bad idea.

Consider me a curious client who trains and deploys production models on a weekly basis and considers Julia. Well even if I could rewrite our model in Julia how would I go with prod deployment and who would help me if I get stuck? For Tensorflow, I can use Java API and effortlessly plug in trained model into our Java stack. In case of PyTorch we can bring up a Python service with the same little effort just because Python has it all.

When it comes to work, niche languages lose their ground once you start digging deeper and attempt to venture slightly outside their focus domain. They do not have dedicated teams or industrial money and will always lag behind. Look at DL4J, they have a whole company working on it for many years.

Of course time will tell but considering the results so far I am not convinced that investing time into learning a new language will pay off. Especially considering Julia interop with C/C++.

I would be very hesitant to get on a MAX, but we take unnecessary risks all the time. Getting in a car, having a beer, etc. are all activities that carry risk. Ultimately it's "will the hassle of avoiding the MAX be worth the benefit of not getting on one?" and for a lot (probably the vast majority) of people the answer is no.
And even the C++ intellicode/parser extension is proprietary.

But no, last time this was mentioned, it was downvoted to oblivion. "But, you see, they put the intellicode C++ extension in Github, so it must be opensource!"

Wrong. They are just using Github to distribute binaries. If you download the vsix file from either github or the vscode extension repos, you will find a 10MB binary called cpptools that was not there in the source tarball. The extension does nothing without it.

MCAS is only supposed to activate in extreme circumstances. The planes are perfectly safe to fly and capable of flying without MCAS working.

I think you need to read up on MCAS a bit more.
They should do what my teachers did. Students are to bring specific types of paper according to teacher preference. That could mean lined paper, plain paper, 1mm graph paper, or even a lab book with a stitched binding. Students who do not come prepared for class get "F" grades.

It's the same for calculators, pencils, pens, gym shorts, closed-toe shoes, and lots of other things.

Teachers should never ever diminish their own pay by buying supplies. That pay is for personal use. Spending it at work creates an ugly competition, especially if the supplies improve teacher ratings. It's an arms race that consumes teacher pay.

This feels like free to play but pay to win kind of games, or cheap base game to release to poison, countless expensive DLCs. But instead of money, it is freedom.

Just because of this I prefer open source projects from smaller developers that are built with labor of love, instead of from big corporate businesses that will eventually try to use you for any kind of profit.

Since topic is similar, I would like to recommend onivim 2 [0] for who prefer vi bindings. It is almost out of alpha and in pretty usable stage. Currently they are integrating open-vsx. Project is open source with dual license and it is currently very cheap for who wants to support, or free to build from source to try.

Before my pixel 4 I had a pixel 3, its camera started started being extremely jittery, especially during videos. I reported it to the Google support and they replaced it new reasonably quickly, was quite happy with that interaction.

After my pixel 4 debacle I tried getting second hand pixel 3's as a cheaper alternative, I got 2 devices with the exact same issue with the jittery camera, they were returned straight away but I find it amazing that I have personally had 3 pixel 3 devices with the same camera hardware bug.

I cant bring myself to buy an iPhone, as a web developer having a decent browser is table stakes for me. But I have also lost all trust in Google hardware / support.
Symmetry Investments | Senior Software Engineers and DevOps | REMOTE or VISA (London, Hong Kong, Singapore) | D, Julia, Kotlin, other functional and systems languages | Full-Time, Fixed Term, Flexible Symmetry Investments is a post startup c. 5bn alternative asset management company with around 175 people across multiple time zones and locations. Our core technology team has been remote first for some time, and the whole company is following suit, post-COVID.
I'm one of the three people running the firm, responsible amongst other things for technology across the firm and I’m posting this myself. That should give you an idea both about how seriously we take technology and the culture of the firm.

We are three years into a period of transformation from initially a fairly standard enterprise finance approach to technology to something new that recognises the importance of both the humane and the technical for discretionary portfolio management and for the business of running an alternative investment manager.

It's not easy to integrate practitioners who may spend most of their day programming but are oriented towards solving their business problems with developers who are specialists in programming. To achieve this, we wrote a little functional DSL that's now in production. Type inference of returns and parameters using inequality constraints is in a feature branch and there is plenty more to do on the language itself as well as the ecosystem around it. What might be a project in itself elsewhere can be just a set of functions in Symmetry Integration Language.

The language is written in D, we hosted dconf last year and will do so again this year. So we are looking for outstanding native code developers who would like to write D as well as people to work with practitioners writing Symmetry Integration Language. Also looking for people to write documentation and work on the build.

It's quite a creative place where we encourage a degree of courage amidst practical constraints, and we are open to doing things a different way if it's commercially sound and in the interests of our investors.

We look for virtues and capabilities over only experience and credentials although those things aren't a disadvantage. Do not let a lack of credentials or qualifications prevent you from applying. We've recently hired experts with C++, Common Lisp, D, Haxe, Julia and Perl backgrounds, and are happy to bring them up to speed with our stack.

Compensation is currently not quite at Netflix standards but is generous to very generous over time by broad technology industry standards. We recognise and reward technical accomplishment and have a very flat structure.

Why would you want to replace LED headlights? LEDs themselves are typically specified for 50k hours, a much longer useful life than car engines (~10k hours / 180000 km). Also, because these are individually dimmed array lights, even if a single element dies, it's not a big problem and wouldn't require replacing the unit.
