I'm not sure it makes sense to separate "vertical" correctness from "horizontal" correctness when it comes to "did the feature behave" though; to extend the example in TFA, if your fade progress went from 0->0.99 but then stopped before it actually reached 1 for some reason, you might find that you still had a (small, but still present) signal on the output, which, if the peak-peak amplitude was < 0.1, the test wouldn't catch.

Obviously any time you're working with floating-point sample data the precise values of floats will almost always not be bit-accurate against what your model predicts (sometimes even if that model is a previous run of the same system with the same inputs as in this case); it's about defining an acceptable deviation. I guess what I'm saying is that for audio software, a peak-peak error of 0.1 equates to a signal at -20 dBFS (ref DBFS@1.0) (which of course is quite a large amount of error for an audio signal), so perhaps using higher-resolution graphs would be a good idea.

A consumer centric solution to this specific problem is to just allow Epic to sell Fortnite on the app store and stop holding them to ransom.
I think you’re being glib, but the issue is that you can’t guarantee the alignment of sun and wind to match demand. Sometimes the wind blows at night, yes, but sometimes it does not. On a pure renewable grid, no wind at night means rolling brownouts or blackouts. This is particularly problematic during the summer when people want to run AC in order to sleep, and will also be an issue when people move to electric heat in the winter.

Long term we’ll use a mix of big grids, over provisioned renewables, and grid level storage to smooth this out, but we’re not there yet. Right now the choice is between a nuclear power plant during these moments, or a natural gas one.
Well it's a bit too late for that I think. For years when I've flown, I fly with Southwest without a second thought about it (except when flying in the PNW, then I prefer Alaskan.)

Well over the past few days I've been working with family to make plans for this Christmas and I found myself thinking that it might be prudent to look at other airlines this time. I'm not completely confident that Southwest won't collapse completely and upset my plans. I don't know what's happening in that company but things smell rotten and I've lost my confidence about their future. Maybe this isn't a realistic concern, but if I'm thinking it I wager I'm not the only one.
They're different compilers so I assume the answer would be yes.

If it isn't possible to build currently I expect minimal clarifying changes wouldn't have much impact on runtime performance (where it compiled previously), but as mentioned in another post would lower the risk of bugs and maintenance burden with clearer code.

Portability, validation, across multiple platforms is one way of exposing bugs and weaknesses in logical description.

Is sounds like you just have a problem with authority.

Even with all nuclear disasters included it is still a far safer energy source (in deaths per kWh) than any other we have ever developed.

And that figure about 100 years? Wildly misleading.

The same fact is true about oil. Except we keep discovering more, and we would with uranium as well if demand was increasing enough.

In addition, and most importantly, nuclear plants that reprocess fuel have enough supply to generate all of humanity's exponentially growing power needs for 10,000+ years.
Kenneth James Hammond isn't objective. He's funded by the Confucius Institute. imo his opinion is compromised by money i.e. he is a paid CCP apologist. It's no different from researchers who deny climate change and are conveniently funded by the oil industry. I don't see any change in mental gymnastics just because it's coming from a caucasian. Incentives tend to drive the outcome of anything like someone's public opinion.

Mao was a brilliant military strategist, but he was a complete disaster as a statesman. He is not vindicated. He made Zhou Enlai's work much harder to accomplish and much longer to take effect. There are few statesmen who were worse than Mao like Stalin. I have to question either your logic, or whether or not if you're commenting from inside the mainland.

> Exhibit 2: life expectancy from 1850 to 2020.

Again, how can we trust the data from yet another secretive authoritarian government?

> Exhibit 3: Kevin Tellier, a very good China watcher

I don't know much about Kevin Teller, but if he has a conflict of interest like Hammond, then his opinion is worth less than more objective sources.

For the record, I am neither anti China or even anti CCP (I don't even think it really exists anymore since it's a dictatorship again); nor am I a pro US zealot. I am only anti-Xi, and I am not a fan of Mao's governance.

While I do think that things wrt 'discourse' have gotten worse, I don't think that traditional news agencies are untrustworthy. If they are, then they're as untrustworthy as they've ever been. As long as you avoid sources like opinion-shows-on-'news'-channels and stick to the dreaded "Mainstream Media" you should find trustworthy reporting.
Here's a fun conspiracy theory proposed entirely in jest:

Apple doesn't want to patch zero-days used by US authorities in order to alleviate pressure on its encryption practices.

So they really only want to fix zero-days that are known broadly or get media attention. And they don't want to give too much incentive to researchers to report zero-days to Apple instead of selling them to the highest bidder (which may ultimately be the largest governments with the greatest ability to regulate Apple).
Do people coming from Google make a purchase? I've found that Google is for research— people are usually looking for free information.

Nothing in that link contradicts anything the OP said. It has no statistics for pilot vaccination rates, and OP never said anything about mandatory vaccines, commenting only on the likely number of pilots who had already received a vaccine.

There are two different issues at play here: whether someone has gotten the vaccine themselves, and whether someone supports making it mandatory. The person you replied to was talking about the former, you appear to have misunderstood it as the latter.

What happens when the wind doesn't blow and the sun doesn't shine? Where does the energy come from? Today, when that happens, the energy comes from natural gas and coal during these times when European renewables are unable to generate much power. All this expectation that we will be on renewables by X date hinges upon developments in battery storage capabilities by X date that have yet to materialize. On the other hand, we have nuclear energy which could have solved this problem 70 years ago.
You have the same considerations with coal waste as well.

The problem is that capitalism (as it is currently configured) strongly incentivizes short term efficiency. Very few organizations plan for long tail events because it almost inevitably hurts short term expected value, even though long term expected value would potentially benefit.

You linked to an article that offers no guidance on how to actually do it, which is more indicative of the article itself than of the methodology.

Dislaimer: I have nothing to do with this vendor or the industry in general (apart from successfully spending money on performance channels).
Yeah, people really underestimate the scale of the storage problem for solar. Energy usage peaks around 6pm[1], while the amount of energy solar can produce is trending towards zero. Without significant storage capability (i.e. enough to supply ~a days electricity), solar energy has a pretty limited use case in a real-time electric grid.

It really isn't. Just earlier this year:

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/03/business/spirit-american-...

"Spirit Airlines and American Airlines canceled hundreds of flights on Tuesday after several days of disruptions, frustrating passengers across the country."

"By midafternoon, Spirit had scrapped more than half its scheduled flights for the day, according to FlightAware, an aviation data firm. The airline canceled more than 40 percent of its flights on Monday and 19 percent on Sunday. Spirit attributed those disruptions to “a series of weather and operational challenges.”"

"American had canceled about 300 flights by the middle of the afternoon on Tuesday, about a tenth of Tuesday’s scheduled trips. The airline canceled about 18 percent of its flights on Monday and 9 percent the day before. American pinned the blame on a weekend storm that hit Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, its large hub airport."
The line between app platform and OS is a blurry one. The Amiga OS, for instance, has libraries for specific file types that expose standardized entry points. This way, if you install the library for Photoshop files, all graphics programs that adhere to that protocol will be able to read and write Photoshop PSD files. Microsoft had DDE and, later, OLE, for embedding objects from one program into data from another in a standard way all programs were supposed to share. It was a pain.

This blurry line is present in other environments as well. In the Apple Lisa, installing a program resulted in new templates in the Stationery folder. In Smalltalk, installing a program adds its class definitions to the system as independent entities you could use in your own programs.

Not all operating systems are the children of Unix and VMS.
Perhaps, though this is probably hard given airports, take off slots and such.

Sometimes the backup plan is occasional failure. Resiliency is expensive. We don't tend to own up to our decisions when we (companies, individuals, etc.) opt to pay for for limited resilience. But besides our irrational denials, it's often a rational trade off.

Take the recent FB downtime for example. FB's bigness means that FB downtime had some significance but FB is not critical infrastructure. Thousands of decisions, trade offs and compromises reflect that. If there's trade off between costs or speed of software development and resilience... FB will/should not always choose resilience. That's rational.

Being stranded for a day because airlines is something that happens n% of the time. Cost of the mode.
> many actual interest rate increases are followed by stocks rallying because a larger rate increase was expected & priced in.

Right, but that just means more than 100% of the fall due to the rate increase occurred earlier when it was anticipated, so the rate increase still caused the fall, in effect.

No, they don't have lots of money, they have lots of assets. No one is sitting around with a silo full of doll-hairs they go swimming in like a greedy duck. And with deflation, those assets become cheaper. Inflation they become more expensive. The exact opposite of wages.
You may be right, but airlines are either the canary in the coal mine or an exceptional case. They operate on incredibly, incredibly small margins so vulnerability to small disturbances is, at least in this industry, totally expected. I.e. not necessarily true for other trade sectors.
I've posted to some internal and external jobs. That's about it.
The union says there's no strike, the airline says there's no strike, no other airlines experienced similar failures despite similar mandates, and there's an alternative explanation that fits all of the available the evidence (and there's a lot of public evidence since these are domestic commercial flights). Additionally, people who want to stir up FUD about vaccine mandates have an incentive to lie.

So, one possibility is that there's a fast conspiracy that involves NOAA, the FAA, Miami airport admin, air traffic controllers, Southwest, the pilot's union, etc.

The other possibility a few conservative commentators are talking out of their ass.

Sorry... this one just isn't that hard.

Yet, the base Debian image _does_ light up like a Christmas tree when you run a snyk scan. Mostly with incorrect issues (version number causes a flag but the fix is backported) or are considered low priority and thus WONTFIX by upstream.

It's not your misquote.

But the original is "the scientific method is anti-fragile, The harder you attack it, the sturdier it becomes." The comment you replied to threw a lot of nuance away when it was replaced by "perfect", and you threw the context that kept it reasonable away when you decided to compare with a similar phrase from anpother context. So, you both together made a misquote.
OP > Anecdotally I don't know a single licensed pilot who is antivaccine. They generally all have a high degree of respect for science and engineering. The idea that masses of southwest pilots suddenly decided to "sick out" to protest a vaccine mandate is laughable

My link shows this simply is untrue. The pilot's own union was seeking to block the mandate - just because you are a pilot doesn't mean you're down with mandating vaccines for employment.

Yeah what you describe is basically on par with people like Michael Moore. I don't disagree but however let me bring up the British Empire. I've been interested in how the UK faired after its empire declined as that is one of the most recent examples of a Western decline and looking at the UK today it doesn't seem that bad. Do you feel that the US can just go through a "slow burn" and sort of end up like the UK? Maybe the UK never really collapsed an instead ended up being propped up in part by the US due to common ideals. Maybe we haven't seen the true collapse yet.

The thing I worry about is that the UK invested in its people after WW2 and formulated a robust safety net and for all their faults, if everything were to collapse they would likely have means to get back on their feet. They also have OK infrastructure and that is money already spent that can't be taken back.

Americans are in a situation where they have no real money (~40% live paycheck to paycheck), they have bad health thanks to the corn laden trash they have eaten their whole lives, no healthcare so a lot of preventative things have gone unaddressed and finally no real good infrastructure so that if everything were to collapse they would have nothing to fall back on as they rebuild. We spent all our precious resources on the wars and giving money to the rich.

On another note, who would even replace the US? After Evergrande I think a lot of people have realized that while China is full of talent and ambition they have serious structural problems that will prevent them from ever becoming #1 on the world stage.
