I’ve edited my comment to clarify the subtext, but yes you’d definitely need to make it fireproof. Fiery liquid plastic is exceptionally unpleasant.
And was that corruption and incompetence allowed to take root and have devastating affects? Was it not the result of insufficient and lax regulation?
> I wish Rust had been around 30 years ago when I loved doing low level programming.

I think Rust’s killer feature is lifetime analysis by the compiler. In 1991, you had 33 MHz 80486 with around 4 MB of RAM. I don’t think the average developer had the computing power to do Rust’s lifetime in any reasonable amount of time.
I remember a time when everything was paper bags. Groceries and retailers went with plastic because it was cheaper. But with plastic there was a hidden cost.

Now we're told we must pay a premium for recyclable plastic. Personally I'd rather pay a premium for paper because it's made from a renewable resource. Plus paper will decompose within two months in nature.

The only drawback I can find is that paper bags take more water to produce than plastic. Sitting in a Great Lakes state that problem doesn't bother me.
Apache makes sense - it's a bit of a mammoth with complex packaging (as different components arrive in different packages). A cruise through the relevant list thread shows he's looking for a gradual handover, soliciting help, but being suitably picky about who takes over (eg, eagerness isn't the only job requirement).

Do click on the package titles to go through to the relevant thread. For most the packages you'd be worried about, what you'll see is either a well-reasoned handover of responsibilities, or a simple call for help.

(Or just look at the 'type' column - RFH is Request for Help, RFA is Request for Adoption. Important or complicated packages looking for more team members isn't a panic.)
do you think if, for say, 20 generations, your family practiced these mental exercises... would your DNA/RNA (more % turned 'on'[1]) be primed for increased memorization ?

I'd argue the one that sees the largest "value" of transactions per day.
Lucky it didn’t happen half way. Could have been several hours on one engine and the other one shaking and on fire.
But if they did turn it off, when they turned it back again everything that was there before would be back, including the memory of having turned it off.

Other than the realisation they they had periodically ceased to exist (or only existed since they last turned it on..) there wouldn't be a great difference.

That said, the black sphere would cause the "top" to diverge anyway at that point, wouldn't it? So it'not really in their control..
Your body isn't designed to do anything. We are like viruses in the sense of whatever works, works. While folks who don't reproduce are summarily eliminated from the gene pool.

Not because they don't have value, but because they don't 'work'.

The fact that you find having children fulfilling is about you, not about anybody else.
It seems increasingly obvious to me that memorization and learning play a really important role in maintaining basic intellectual standards. Everything can’t be googled and even if it could be, retrieval isn’t equivalent to knowledge. Having personally memorized a lot of things via Anki, there is a noticeable difference when you can “chew on” something mentally at a subconscious level.

> But too many are eager to jump into distributed computing without understanding what they are bring into their development workflow and debugging scenarios.

This fallacy is the distributed computing bogeyman.

Just because you peel off a responsibility out of a monolith that does not mean you suddenly have a complex mess. This is a false premise. Think about it: one of the first things to be peeled off a monolith are expensive fire-and-forget background tasks, which more often than not are already idempotent.

Once these expensive background tasks are peeled off, you gets far more manageable and sane system which is far easier to reason about and develop and maintain and run.

Hell, one of the basic principles of microservices is that you should peel off responsibilities that are totally isolated and independent. Why should you be more concerned about the possibility of 10% of your system being down if the alternative is having 100% of your system down? More often than not you don't even bat an eye if you get your frontend calling your backend and half a dozen third-party services. Why should it bother you if your front-end calls two of your own services instead of just one?

I get the concerns about microservicea, but this irrational monolith-mania has no rational basis either.
I think people in every profession would feel like this sometimes.
> People just can't let something from 21 years ago go, can they?

Tell that to the media industries lobbying to extend copyright terms to virtually infinite duration. The "something" they can't let go of from 21 years ago is the copyright on the material, of course.
The other engine provides enough thrust to keep the plane airborne. The pilots (and likely other onboard systems) compensate for the asymmetric thrust with the rudder.

As scary as it looks, this is one type of event that pilots routinely train for, both to get their initial multi-engine certification, and on their airlines’ simulators.
I'm quite cold-tolerant, but I would hardly consider below freezing (0C) to be T-shirt weather. I would need 3+ layers to feel comfortable in that long-term.

It's only T-shirt weather if you're moving from one heated space to another.
>and yet by a lot of measures people are more healthy and living longer than before

This argument doesn't make sense to me without something more specific. Just because such high level concepts like "health" and length of life continue to increase, that doesn't invalidate any particular malady.

From my understanding, this is essentially Lamarckism, which was not taken as fact for a long time but has (recently?) been investigated again.

What regulatory action are you talking about? Grid operators cut power to keep the system from failing catastrophically as the generating power available dropped and the frequency dipped from the desired 60hz to 59.93hz and falling. Nobody running the system needed a regulator to tell them to shut down power.
This was my first thought as well. The question is: How robust are adversarial perturbations? In other words: Given such a perturbation that was generated using one model, how well can we expect to work on a similar model (in the sense that both models are fooled)? I would be curious to know if any research has been done on this question.
How to be a happier and more productive developer?
I am extremely empathetic with you on the decision you have to make.

I am well aware that software developers on the whole have much better than average remuneration, so it's understandable that positions in other fields will attract lesser pay. However, another point which I didn't labour above (because I'm not sure if it's universal or in my own country only) is that student and junior doctors are expected to work absurd hours, often double the 48 hour per average week limit set by the EU Working Time Directive.

I'm currently (as in right now taking a break from) studying for the HPAT standardised test in my country in preparation for applying for medicine in the coming academic year. Although it's not particularly complex, I'm aware that if I had spent the time that I dedicated to my EMT qualification and now the HPAT, I probably could have added hundreds of thousands to my annual income as opposed to a decade of ~€15 ph labour.

This isn't so much a reply to you at this point as a lament about medical care is undervalued. I'm a competent software developer at best.
Are there available AI accelerators on the market at the same level of Google's? I worry we are being locked out of compute capacity. I worry these corporations did a hostile acquisition of all the talent and critical infrastructure and we are left out. And new competitors have such an uphill battle it will be almost impossible to catch up.
This was announced way back in June even before the computers shipped, actually. It’s not particularly hidden.
Generally speaking, malware authors build their command and control networks out of compromised computers owned by third parties. After all, they're already in the business of compromising computers, and using their own computers would leave an unnecessary trail back to them.
And by "routine" you mean "standard when you lose an engine" not, "we lose an engine every other Friday", right? Because starting in a plane is kind of scary enough, all things considered.
Luckily flight plans are always required to be within a certain number of minutes of a place to land, and are certified to operate on one engine for that period.

You can't reflect all the energy of the sun onto the earth with a mirror or a lens. Put a one million mile wide source 93 million miles from the earth. The photons from the left side of the sun will reflect off the mirror about 1/2 degree from those from the right side of the sun. Get more than about 1 million miles from earth, and the size of the reflection of sunlight off the mirror is already larger than the earth, i.e. many of those photons will miss the earth entirely. Optics obeys the 2nd law of thermodynamics like all other heat transfer mechanisms. The target must be cooler than the source.
I would consider mandatory "telemetry" to be malware-ish...

There are multiple variables in play at one time. Like, ... every other thing in medical science and public health. It would probably be more helpful if someone went ahead and just looked closer at the activity of the compound of interest, and saw what impact it had in isolation.

We could call these people researchers, in honor of their tenacity in scrutinizing and re-scrutinizing their work and the work of others. And when their work impacts the health of the many, maybe we could use mass communications technology to share it.

It would make violating a border only a bit easier than jumping off a plane. Unless you literally jumped off, by popping open an emergency exit, there wouldn't be a difference.

Gate D7 is a jetway, gate D8 is an elevator down to the train, gate D9 is another jetway, and so on. Your luggage follows you no matter which gate your flight leaves from, even if the flight happens to actually be a train.

People would use it almost automatically. It shows up as a plane change when you buy your tickets. Code sharing agreements could be part of the deal, so it doesn't even look like a separate airline.

They could go faster with a single larger engine. Why do you think they went with two engines instead of a single larger engine? Redundancy.
Uncontained engine failures are a big deal. Exactly because they're a risk to the plane, as debris can cause other failures, and a risk to people on the ground. Engines are specifically tested to see if they can contain these failures. This doesn't seem routine at all.
What you described:

let x = 2 // runs

No, I'd want a balance update to succeed. Even if it's to the same value that it already had.
Venus is ~100 million kilometers from the sun, Earth about 150 million km. No matter of greenhouse gases is going to compensate for that difference in radiation heating.

Because radiation dissipates to the distance squared, we get around 40-50% of the heating Venus does.
I don't see the problem. Rust made some explicit choices that meant it couldn't do something. Doesn't change the fact that it couldn't do something. No need to get so defensive, lots of languages have things they can't do.
> I think they are undervaluing procreation though. You should do it because it makes you happy - I have never met a parent who regretted having children

People do but a small proportion: https://news.gallup.com/poll/164618/desire-children-norm.asp.... About 90% of people 45+, if they had to do it again, would have kids. The 7% who had kids but would choose not to have done so is basically cancelled out by the more than half of people who had no kids but wish they had.

Nice site. How did you decide which books to include, or what data source did you use?
with respect i think it's a combination. business demands value delivery and features on a constant basis, and programmers are constantly layering crap over crap in order to deliver. nobody stops and says "hey, wait a second - let's pause, and figure out how we're going to invest now to make the changes you're asking for easier in the future." programmers need to learn to identify when this is happening (a technical skill) and demand change, and product needs to learn to listen and understand the consequences of not heeding this advice. because after 5 - 10 years of 100 different people working on a given system, the complexity becomes unmanageable, and the business grinds to a halt. and then heads start to roll. and yet the people demanding the new features now are never going to have suffer the consequences, because they'll be off to another venture in 5 - 10 years.
I work at Google in California. Unless you have completely different trainings, I don't think your characterization is accurate. For one it doesn't say at all that you should not get drunk together.

I have the same resolution size :) I agree that the usefulness of this app depends on how you use your browser. I do the exact opposite of you, at any time I have at least 20-30 tabs open and I regularly switch back and forth.

I prefer to think of TabFloater as not an app that creates/moves/manipulates extra browser windows (even though that is what actually happens), but an app that adds an extra browser functionality (picture-in-picture). In this sense, I think it makes sense that it brings its own "always-on-topness".

I'm also aware that this app solves a pretty niche use-case - but it was fun developing it and I learned a lot!
It’s amazing that an aircraft can still fly pretty much normally and land safely after such a failure. Imagine if software were built with such resiliency.
Thanks for the response. I’m currently toying with an idea, and it’s nothing mission critical, so I’m good on that front.

It's very intersting, but once you understand how these attacks are performed, not too surprising (at least the attacks that I'm familiar with, there may be others that are different). Basically (and I'm drastically oversimplifying here), there are a class of succesful techniques that can run an optimization to maximize classification loss for a certain model architecture/parameter set by modulating the content of the image (for example by adding noise). This loss critically depends on having the parameters of the model in hand, and is very hard to avoid.

So it's a little more sophisticated than just adding random noise, it's adding very specific quantities of noise to very specific locations, which are based on perfect knowledge of how the predictive system (the deep model) works.

Is this stuff interesting? Absolutely. Is it worth studying? Yes, again. Does it mean that CNNs as we know them are poor computer vision systems and fundementally flawed? No. It's a limitation of existing deep models, and one which may be overcome eventually.
> At minimum, you need to start dealing with things like service discovery and accounting for all of the edge cases where one part of your system is up while another part is down, or how to deal with all of the transitional states without losing work.

I really don't get this phobia. You already have to deal with that everywhere, don't you? I mean, you run a database. You run a web app calling your backend. You run mobile clients calling your backend. You call with services. The distributed system is more often than not already there. Why are we fooling ourselves into believing that just because you choose to bundle everything in a mega-executable that you're not running a distributed system?

If anything,explicitly acknowledging that you already run a distributed system frames the problem ina way that you are forced to face failure modes you opt to ignore.
> Bullshit free

That's bullshit. We don't need more languages trying to hide types.

Death by planetary obesity.

Kind of the opposite of meticulously deconstructing the planet, instead bring more and more mass to Earth - souvenirs, visitors, imports, a few hundred trillion quadrillion kilograms of precious metals... doesn’t matter what, just keep hoarding more and more stuff.

Eventually Earth will either change orbit and sink into the sun, or it will become a sun itself, or it will become a black hole.
Yes, I think it might have been more straightforward to say “Researchers observe stationary Hawking radiation in ‘acoustic black hole’” or something to clarify to laypeople that this is a mathematically analogous but physically very different experiment. I don’t think it’s too difficult to conceptualize that sound waves behave similarly to light waves and that properties of black holes can be “simulated” with sound.

It’s not about individuals having children, but a society that collectively has few to no children. 9 out of 10 people age 45+, if they had to do it all again, would have had children: https://news.gallup.com/poll/164618/desire-children-norm.asp.... Only 1 in 10 wouldn’t have had kids if they had to do it over. Immortality would universalize the experience of the 10% to the other 90% of the population.

Bricks made of plastic weather into dust made of microplastic.

If microplastic turns out to be as serious a problem as has been suggested, with bioaccumulation and various sorts of damage, then the only solution is that all plastic without exception has to be thoroughly destroyed chemically or by burning as soon as it it isn't in use. And not put into use in ways that emit microplastic (as fibers, dust, or otherwise).

I use a browser which allows me to override "fullscreen" mode to only go full-screen within the browser window, but not actually expand to the full screen. After that, it's just a matter of setting it "always on top", which the window manager makes easy. However, for videos I actually want to watch, I prefer to just download them and watch in mpv.

In theory, I agree with you that cloud providers should be more comfortable and more resilient. It's just that my practical experience has been the opposite.

BTW, I don't get commission, payments or anything from Hetzner. I'm just super enthusiastic about them because their affordable pricing is making me rich.

I agree that it's a tradeoff, but the question was about small companies. And there I'd say 5min of occasional downtime are absolutely fine if it saves you $100k annually. And for a single founder, those 100k in profit will be kind of a big deal ;)
Variables are overrated. 10 is BS-free.
Oh man, we had a connection with an API recently where if you sent it some incorrect data it would just hang. No errors, no closing of the connection. Just hang. And ofc they don't offer a heartbeat over that channel.

That would still be fine... if the data was static. But it's not - and changes are communicated; but not to the relevant tech teams.
Also not everything can be paper. A coffee cup can never be fully paper, it needs a plastic lining and can thus never be recyclable. Not without it being extremely crappy. No food item can be enclosed in a fully paper enclosure and expected to have a shelf life.

And for all the Portlanders saving a plastic bag there's a Texan buying all their drinking water as pallets of disposable single use plastic bottles.

I think we should just take the japan route - use plastic, try your best to be judicious and then just incinerate it.

How would recycling help that? Throwing your trash in a trash can and taking it to a landfill would protect the ocean and food chain just as much as recycling it would.
Transoceanic aircraft need lots of ETOPS time. For example the boeing 777 (twin-engine, transoceanic) has an ETOPS of 330 minutes, so it always needs to be 330 min away from an airport (which is 11 hours of flight from airport A to airport B, not taking wind into account)
