Exactly -- and that's the point I was trying to make about competition. Fermilab arguably is CERN's biggest "competitor" and it's entirely complementary – e.g. look at the work done with LEP and Tevatron. In contrast, I've had other academics politely ask me not to present my work at a particular conference because so-and-so might be there and that might mean that they'd see it and their paper on x+∂x might come out before our paper on x-∂x, and that would make it harder to get into a particular journal, etc --- and I didn't. It's pretty stupid really. I wish we'd pool resources sensibly, and divide the big ideas ahead of time.
There is sometimes a point when you need to avoid giving stalement, like in the famous Savedraa study [1] or the vastly more intricate Babson task [2].

> when building a large-ish package, it only makes sense to use existing packages rather than reinventing the wheel.

Yes, for instance one of `reqwest`'s dependencies is `base64`. We can argue both that re-inventing base64 in every big library is pointless, and also that a language doesn't need base64 in its stdlib because C and C++ don't have it.

There's no right way to cut this cake - Many a language has included something in the standard library, and then struggled to fix a broken interface once everything depended on it. (Like JS picking UTF-16 for strings) Many a language has also failed to include something in the stdlib and caused every application to suffer and re-invent it. (Like C++ not really saying anything about Unicode strings, which means Qt and everyone else has their own little take on it.)

And the suffering is only bigger if you make dependencies artificially hard to add.

Rust's approach is more flexible, at the cost of building the universe from scratch every time you make a new workspace. Personally I don't mind it. At least it's not like the problems I've heard from Haskell land. Moving from futures to async in Rust was fairly smooth.
A bigger concern was that by the time of the acquisition it was clear that Google was buying a legal mess in the form of lawsuits that were spinning up from various Hollywood media companies. What wasn't clear (to many of us on the outside, at least) was that Google was prepared to deal with that and not go broke doing so.

Certainly a place to live can also be an investment.

> You can make more cars but not land.

Lots of land exists, the issue is desirable cities, and western countries have gotten really bad at making those.

China spent the first decade of the 21st century creating urban cities left and right, ignore the western propaganda of "ghost cities", and also spent time urbanizing what America would consider "suburban" towns.

Meanwhile western nations are dead set on never increasing the # of desirable urban environments, and then it is all surprise Pikachu when house prices skyrocket.
Because a struct of bools != a bitfield. C booleans as defined in stdbool.h are just convenience macros aliasing "true" to 8 bit integer 1 and "false" to 0. AFAIK, there aren't any compilers smart enough to implicitly pack a struct of bools into a bitfield, and then make member access operations implicitly mask the bitfield. Here's a quick example, using the latest GCC: https://godbolt.org/z/c7T54jzGT
We should question is more flexibility always a good thing? We have lot of established words and concepts? Should we be more flexible and invent new ones every time we try to communicate something? Or maybe cultural references too? Change those too why not? Maybe use Bob and Alice to refer story of two lovers ending in tragic end?

Things Caught on Camera
For a binary signal, it's impossible for all three to mismatch. For a more analog signal, all three will generally mismatch to some extent whether it's in time or in space or both.

Fault tolerance and fault detection are two separate but often coupled concepts. Systems can be designed to be inherently tolerant to a fault without detecting the fault (and good designs often are). All faults need to be detected eventually, though, so that they can be repaired before more faults occur and compound into a broken system.

There's typically very tight timing requirements for fault tolerance, and significantly looser timing requirements for detection. As a result, you can often solve them differently. In a 3 string system with voting, it's often the case that the median signal is used for control without any interpretation of "goodness". That strategy works fine for short time periods of fault tolerance, as two strings would have to produce bad signals for the system to be affected. Separate from the median voting control path, you would then have a variety of consistency checking algorithms looking at the three signals and trying to intelligently determine whether any of the strings have failed. Those algorithms are often stateful and complicated, and rely on heavy filtering to avoid false positives.

When a fault is detected, at minimum it needs to be communicated to an operator. In some cases, the detected fault will also trigger a "fault response", i.e. disabling the offending computer.

In this case, it sounds like maybe a fault detection algorithm had a false positive that disabled the computer, and the same algorithm was running on all three computers.

Despite there being 3 computers, it doesn't sound like this is a 3 string voting system. Rather, each of the three computers are independently able to control the system. The 3 strings exist for redundancy rather than for fault tolerance. Fault tolerance is provided by having two computers that cross-check everything they do, and third computer is there so that the cross-checking is fault tolerant. Two string redundancy is very common in automotive and aerospace.
Sometimes the queen having both rook and bishop moves is a liability. There are positions (real positions from real games, not merely hypothetical ones) where promoting to a queen results in immediate stalemate, while promoting to a rook wins the game.

So those choices are not redundant.
I'm extremely out of my expertise here, but I'll see if I can spark some conversation.

While possible with older SQL's through your own code, distributed sharding and keeping multiple databases in sync I would think be useful at a DB level vs user code level.

This is mostly tangential to my point, but for what it’s worth, they’ve been engaging with local governments from very early on in their history, and they got to the position of being able to work with governments by starting out focusing on building something people wanted and talking to their users.

I don’t dispute that there are negative externalities to what they do and that their existence and growth are not without controversy, but my comment has nothing to do with that controversy, it’s about the useful advice in building a financially successful company.
It's both. I agree that currently the Biggest Problem is the 1% vs the 99%. However you also can't sweep racism, sexism, and gender identity under the rug either, because a lot of the 99%, particularly in rural areas, are indeed heavily to blame for their being backward and opposed to equality in racism/sexism/sexual orientation issue. Try being a gay couple and being open about it a typical rural brick and mortar store. I've experienced it with my girlfriend (she's a POC) in rural areas just going road trips which we love. You definitely get looks and unfriendly faces. Of course you do your best to ignore them but it does make me simmer sometime.

Not really. Pretty much from the inception, the academic community was strongly skeptical of its authenticity. While Yale has only recently admitted that it's a forgery, that's probably due in large part to reluctance to admit that they spent a lot of money on a pretty clear forgery.

That ship has sailed. This usage dates back to the time of Dickens, Brontë, Joyce, etc [1]:

As Dan Smith has pointed out in his reply to my comment on Mike Ruiz's answer, this usage crossed over into general acceptability quite a while ago, having been employed in works by Charles Dickens, Charlotte Brontë, William Makepeace Thackeray, James Joyce and Thomas Hardy, and so on. What might be happening is sort of a "resistance" against this meaning of literally, which people are starting to believe should mean something closer to what it originally did.

Properly blending it in is a form of art, and a surprise in itself. For example, [spoilers] the rock hammer in The Shawshank Redemption, or more literally, the rifle on the wall in Shaun Of The Dead. A good gun makes you go "oooooh!"

On the other hand, building up readers' expectations with details that turn out to be irrelevant is just deception. See the last season of Game of Thrones, for instance. All those characters that were carefully built over the last seasons get discarded without any explanation.

There's sometimes stuff like that in Tarantino movie, like the outlaw lady in Django.

> My former mentor bought a house on Nantucket for $150k in 1990, sold for $3.5M earlier this year.

That is literally a luxury good with a fixed supply. As the # of people who desire that good has sky rocketed generation to generation, of course the price went up.

There are limited production run cars from that era that underwent similar price inflation.

For someone who wants to live in Nantucket, there is literally no substitutable good!
I want to become a landlords and I do not want to think about the moral implications of rent seeking. If the government simply taxed the unfair gains I received through rent seeking then I would have no moral qualms about other landlords. I would be very happy to pay land value taxes if that is what it takes to make free market capitalism fair again.

I do not envy Jeff Bezoz for owning $200 billion in stocks. I do not envy Bill Gates for owning Microsoft. I consider Bill Gates accumulating farmland without paying a tax to compensate for his monopoly rights to be a form of extortion that should not be allowed.

>Most leftists are driven by envy; they see someone else has something they can't afford, and they feel rage.

I don't.

> They can't afford multiple houses, so seeing people with multiple houses triggers this feeling.

I am always in favor of a land value tax that taxes home owners and large scale investors at the same rate. The reason why I have to make a concession to primary residences is that home owners would vote against the tax and the land value tax wouldn't be introduced at all.

>Fundamentally it's because they're so ego-driven they can't accept the market rewards people fairly,

How can abusing the monopoly of location be considered a fair reward? You are distorting the market.

> because doing so would require accepting that someone else deserves those houses more than they do.

No, it's the opposite. You can buy the land 30 years ago and let the property on top sit vacant and still net a return because the value of the land has risen. Such an investor made a lot of money without deserving the land at all. If land had a holding fee then only those who can extract the most value out of the land would seek it out.

> If you’re a pilot landing a plane applying significant rudder inputs, doesn’t the above me that those inputs will have a vastly different effect once the wheels touch the runway?

IANAP so hopefully someone will correct me, but from my understanding in this case the answer would be “yes, they will have a different effect, as they should”.

Rudder is used in crosswind landings to maintain runway alignment while still in air; once enough weight is on wheels and speed is low enough rudder quickly loses its effectiveness and control shifts to wheel steering and brakes.

That said, I suspect it doesn’t help that flight computer sort of has a binary context flag (either we are in the air or on the ground), it might have simplified some of the business logic but does not seem to map well to reality at a crucial moment. If imagined in slow motion, the system doesn’t just flip a state but goes through a spectrum.

I can’t get much work done with iPad. It’s good for browsing, video and media streaming. Other than that, I use a laptop.

I don’t use an iPad keyboard because a laptop is equally heavy. Also laptop ergonomics are much better for typing (iPad keyboard doesn’t sit well in some situations).

But the dealbreaker is really Apple starting to scan users’ devices (in a limited form for now, but that could evolve). I see a laptop a much better choice.

> Where else in life is that a valid option? "I'd love to have a snickers bar, but I don't want to pay a dollar for it, so I guess I just take it."

If you were starving, and society was so misallocated in its resources that Snickers bars were in profound abundance, and political activism wasn't getting you anywhere, I would say you actually have every right, morally speaking, to take that Snickers bar.

But the other commenter is right. Comparing physical objects to duplicating intangible information is extremely misleading. If you take that Snickers bar, someone else can't eat it. That doesn't apply to duplication.
I had a similar idea, and I suspect that address randomization isn't as big a problem as you might suspect, since many people have a paired device (i.e. headphones), and that pairing often uses classic Bluetooth, so it must have a fixed address. The burglar's car is also likely to broadcast unrandomized bluetooth if it's in the area, also.

But the real trouble with this system is that the police aren't going to do anything with this data unless there's a murder. Even if a bluetooth device were stolen and you could locate it, the police will not likely help you recover anything. And this assumes that they even understand what this pissed-off nerd is on about.

Amazon, however, could build a bluetooth sniffer or IMSI catcher into its devices and sell the resulting data to law enforcement, who could then avoid the time and expense of getting a warrant for location data. Assuming that the police care at all about property crime, this would achieve the goal.

A fair approach.

Incidentally, I just drew some diagrams and with the assumptions that the Earth is not at the centre of expansion, Earth orbit has extremes (for parallax), and all light only takes straight routes, my second question has a negative answer.

But if one puts a gravitational lens on the view of one of the two stars then (based on a fast doodle though) it looks like maybe expansion could be detected.
> the build times are pretty tolerable for what it's providing.

I think this is probably right, and I think just about everyone "tolerates" the build times (that is, I see very few people stop developing in rust because of the build times).

But when, for example, I run `rustup update` to get a new nightly compiler and have to re-compile everything, it's annoying to have to wait 20 minutes. I'll tolerate it, and if a magic wand could make it instantaneous I would love that. But it's still annoying.
So it isn't!

The major economic debate in the Democratic party right now is whether we should retain a dovish full-employment Fed chair or replace him with a dovish full-employment Fed chair who will also drastically ratchet up banking regulations.

This is the most economically left Democratic party we have had since Roosevelt. It's far to the left of Obama's. And Clinton, no wokescold himself, served two terms with a Democratic party that deliberately tacked to the right on economics without giving up anything to wokeism. I don't think this analysis holds together.

I get what you're trying to say, that there's a tradeoff between cultural issues and economic issues. My problem is that you haven't provided evidence that the tradeoff exists or is meaningful.
True in js/ts world this is a problem. Since couple of years I've been experimenting with more radical fat trimming on dependencies. It works very well on backend code. I belive shallow or no dependencies is the way to go.

What seems to be missing is standard library as constellation of well designed modules/packages. I decided to just do it for myself (and anybody who finds it interesting). I don't think it's going to fly high but if somebody is interested the link is here [0]. I'm adding modules every few days.

The aim is to have something worthwile to show around the time node v16 goes lts. I have some experience taking care of high stake business critical systems. This is fun side project as a hobby atm. Modules being dropped there are reflection of problems I'm facing during my day-to-day work.

You'll see there some non conventional code. Large parts are inspired by functional programming, ocalm and simplicitly in general. Personally I find it exciting how well this kind of approach fits into production projects.

The nice thing about this approach is that you can have niche leaf packages/modules as part of standard library (constellation) - if you don't want to use it, it doesn't matter, it wont incur any cost. For example order book module or exchange matching engine - those can simply live there, be useful to people who care and have zero impact to people who don't care at all. I find it to be an interesting difference from builtin, shipped library.

Large package ecosystem is a sign of popularity. With time libraries should converge onto shared approaches. Interestingly practice shows wide spread of duplication. I think more effort from big players with wide reach could reduce it. Ie. not me doing stuff but Microsoft or others picking up the ball.

Yes, yet it doesn't identify the root cause of the rot of this current system though, which is the complete commoditization and monopolization of science and technology.

If you are working class and you live in the global south today, your life is often already a living hell because of this [1]. This flavor of hell will slowly 'trickle up' to the north as more and more spaces of the commons are plundered through imperialism, increasing inequality while more and more members of the working class become alienated.

In art there are no absolutes like in management you can always find good examples proving the principles wrong.

The principle is more a guideline for new writers not to ramble and maintain focus especially if there are word limit restrictions typical to published short stories of the era, you cannot afford to waste words on things that don't matter to the story.

Established authors like Hemmingway or Asimov can get published with shaggy dog stories most regular authors cannot.

Even those authors can get a way once in a while, however most of the time they too have to follow the principle like everyone else too.

Hey folks! We're Josh and Ravi, co-founders of Airplane (https://www.airplane.dev/).

Airplane is a platform for quickly building internal tools. We let you turn scripts of various types (Python, JS, shell, SQL, REST, ...) into lightweight internal apps for your support, operations, and other teams. Today, we provide UIs, notifications, permissions, approvals, audit logs, and more out of the box. In the future, we'll support increasingly more complicated workflows and interfaces.

I was previously CTO at Benchling (YC S12) and Ravi previously co-founded Heap (YC W13). Across our companies and many others we've talked to, we've seen various combinations of chatbots, scripts, and Jira tickets adding friction, interrupts, and errors to processes across the entire, well, company. We hope Airplane serves as a useful tool to tackle these problems.

We'd love to hear your feedback on Airplane! It's free to sign up and start using.
