> Except...they also cheaped out on both the number of sensors and even the frigging lightbulbs to warn pilots of sensor error.

I believe that the issue was more tragic than that (no expert)...

They wanted to 'hide' the fly by wire (FBW) as for it to be apparent would require that the plane (effectively) be re-classified as a new plane, requiring expensive up-skilling of the pilots. The existence of the new FBW was even hidden from the manual!

The FBW required information from the pitot tubes in order for it to know how fast the plane was flying. Planes have two such tubes, one for backup as they are prone to blockage. Normal practice would be to poll both tubes, and if their reading disagreed the pilot would be notified and assume blockage in one of the tubes.

However, they could not do this as a pitot tube warning would reveal the existence of the FBW to the pilot, who would not have been aware of its existence. Hence they relied on one pitot tube input and (of course) no warning lights.

This must have been a calculated risk on their behalf. They must have known that sooner or later it would fail.
Which is just the point I'm making: develop for Linux and don't worry about development for the Windows platform in 2021 (for most scenarios).

And if you're using WSL you are using Linux effectively. Windows is just that UI around you. Microsoft makes some good products/services and I think they have shifted in strategy. They are not so interested in what _specific_ APIs/OS you use (Win32 or Linux ...) as long as you do it "inside" Windows on the Desktop or on Azure in the Cloud. It clear that the Linux platform is dominating because Linux is everywhere from servers to mobiles.

One of the parent comments was complaining about lack of good _native_ windows support in Crystal. I've responded to why it may not be critical to have good _native_ windows support anymore above in detail...

I don't think Poland is a problem. The EU has to focus on not becoming the problem itself. Contrary to popular belief there are democratic deficits that haven't been adressed and that includes the CJEU which in its current form cannot really be impartial in my opinion as long as it doesn't focus on keeping contractual obligations. So it is quite ironic that the accusation from CJEU is about impartiality of judges in Poland. There are issue there, out of the question, but so there are on the EU level. So much so that any antagonistic system of justice is welcomed.

I actually used Upwork before finding the current company, which provided stable income while i was in University.

Upwork itself oftentimes feels like a race to the bottom, but i had some interesting projects as well: everything from web development (though WordPress stuff can be frustrating), to things like stock visualization, programming for video games, some physics simulations etc.

Those were all far more interesting than the CRUDs that the company developed, though thankfully i also picked up things like CI/CD, unit testing, integration testing and test automation in general, as well as many other things related both to development and DevOps.

As far as finances go, working for an European company abroad would probably be the wise thing to do, or looking for a local company that pays better, as many suggest most developers should do every X years.
Haskell was intended for academic language on which lazy programming can be researched.

It was designed to a small extend to be used during CS studies. Witness some of those functions in prelude that will crash app on incorrect input, which could be trivially improved to total versions. Those where defined they way they are because it ease teaching.

I was not there, so I can not tell if Haskell comity had any thought put into teaching younger audiences.

However, Haskell was never, ever meant for teaching The Programming. It was always about lazy evaluation and static type system.

In deed, here in lies the trap. Python programmer expect different foundation to be laid during programming course to R programmer, to Prolog programmer to Haskell programmer to Clojure programmer.

There is no introductory programming course. We specialize from get go, and its only through learning multiple languages and/or advanced concepts that we generalize ;)

In WordPress there is the `$wpdb` class, that abstracts database access away. It is advised to use `$wpdb->prepare()` with prepared statements. Then you have an array with placeholders and an array with values, which the `$wpdb` class should handle correctly.

But looking at this code, simply casting to an int with `(int) $id` in the `set_id()` method would have been enough.
Syllogistic errors 101. Your ruthless logic tells us a (normal) human has one nail and five fingers, is made of keratin and is not conscious. Ergo, the universe has one nail and five fingers, is made of keratin and is not conscious.

Heya, question: Have you considered including h1b or Colorado job data to help benchmark stuff in addition to self reported data? Its obviously imperfect (referencing my own post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28875365), but given that y'all have the resources to figure out what the locations are (like, how much more companies pay in SF vs. Seattle vs. Colorado), providing the Colorado data scaled based on that would be another neat resource.

> Windows is still a PITA to deal with

I think even a big chunk of Windows users would agree with that too.

However, the point is, it's still massively, unbelievably popular and not supporting Windows is like having a web app that doesn't run on Safari (which IMHO also suck from a developers perspective, pretty okay when just using).

You can get away with it, yes, but your audience will be (depending on context) unnecessarily limited.
Thank you for the writeup! That is solid reasoning, even if many of the companies out there would prefer not to publish too much information about the underlying infrastructure, or their expense structure.

My only nitpick would be this:

> ...using trusted hoster gives legitimacy

This can also simply lead to all of the smaller/regional hosts out there to be viewed as not trustworthy, just because they're not known to a wider audience and therefore haven't got the positive reputation that the likes of DigitalOcean, Vultr, Scaleway, Hetzner and many others could have!
That is not a bad idea? As long as VC allows those stocks to be traded via certain private / limited market.

Not sure if there are any regulation hurdle though.

Without looking at the transcript, I would assume that the context of the discussion at the Supreme Court was standing. At best his point only lays bare the intrinsic unseemliness of quasi-institutionalized party politics. I could easily see Democrats make the same point in other cases, and I'm sure they have.

The Chairman of the Arizona's Gov't and Elections Committee is simply expressing what has been a common conservative sentiment for ages--that voting is a responsibility, not just a privilege, and one that shouldn't be exercised lightly. Rand Paul, at least if we're being charitable, is making the same argument.

None of those sentiments are inherently discriminatory, neither conceptually nor in practice, which is fundamentally what matters. The belief that the government should actively "Get Out the Vote" is a policy preference, not a constitutional imperative--at least not in the U.S., which lacks mandatory voting laws. "Get Out the Vote" is just a pithy statement of one's preferred policy.

Though, without rigorous oversight it's quite easy--almost trivial, even--to apply those sentiments in a discriminatory manner. AFAIU, Thomas Hofeller, the infamous Republican strategist and redistricting consultant whose personal papers were revealed by his daughter after his death, approached voter ID laws this way--drafting them in ways that were inherently, knowingly, deliberately discriminatory, supported by reams of empirical data, though I'm not sure if racially or otherwise illegally discriminatory on their face. Some of his gerrymandering proposals, by contrast, were explicitly racially discriminatory. ("Hofeller's hard drive also retained a map of North Carolina’s 2017 state judicial gerrymander, with an overlay of the black voting-age population by district, suggesting that these maps—which are currently at the center of a protracted legal battle—might also be a racial gerrymander.", https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/the-secret-files-of...)
It is very well written and resonates with a lot of Americans emigrants. As a spouse and mother of American emigrants for now more than 20 years, I have seen the situation degrading year after year.

Yes, thank you very much, that’s the most sensible tip from a business / commercial perspective I also share locally when asked for advice: plan for the anglosphere natively. Not that there are no success stories from Europe as well, they are just much rarer and too much too often much smaller and deeply fatigued by years spent fighting fragmentation.

It must be said that large scale, extreme/first-of-a-kind tests are simply not possible over here: not in the energy sector, not with autonomous AI deployment, not using any sort of active biochemicals/pharma, not as hostile moves in the fintech or the information sectors. This simply makes innovation much slower and pretty bureaucratic, but we cannot say there is no innovation at all, it generally being funded in the end under one of the numerous EU grants.

The trim can be controlled by an electrical motor in the 737, and the MCAS system in question here controls that motor, so you could argue its part of a FBW system (but I guess normally you refer to the main flight surfaces which are not FBW in the 737 like you say).
Ask a football fan which countries they think of? Brazil, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, etc... Not the U.S., Canada, and ... Southeast Asia? The same is inversely true for hockey.

Countries that are new to football calling it "soccer" are like countries new to hockey calling it "ice-golf": there are other ways to be unique and draw attention.

People are really thinking too much into the possibilities.

I have a question. Do amps matter? As long as it is not clipping and it is designed to not color the sound.
Because the term "football" can have different meanings depending on where you are, but the term "soccer" is unambiguous and known to everybody*, it would make sense to exclusively use the term "soccer" when writing for an international audience, no?
This is a very specific situation. Someone WILL fill that position at Evil Corp. and they will also get the 300k. The amount of evil done stays the same regardless of whether you take the position or not. But, if you take it and donate 100k to charity each year (especially one that works to undo harm done by your employer), more good is being done as well.

The one thing that I would like to stress to the HN community is that marketing != advertising.

Most complaints are about intrusive advertising. Product management, customer analysis, demand and financial modeling, and all similar aspects of market making is what marketing traditionally is.

Advertising and promotions is a small component that tars the broader industry.

Much longer history, higher fragmentation and the constant need to avoid wars after the fall of the Roman empire made humanities/politics/commerce prevail dramatically upon science/tech/innovation. Edit: you can see a living example of this at work again with the increasing feud between the EU and the UK after the Brexit (even before that but, you know, it was aptly defused from within).
Australia is now officially calling it football rather than soccer, they renamed their national association accordingly a few years back.

To someone who always called it football, the word "soccer" feels like a needless neologism.

I was in Calgary at the height of the oil boom in 2008, and even then downtown was a ghost town on winter/fall Sundays.

I left because the number of high-tech companies could be counted quite easily. There were pockets of excellence though.

While there is a toxic attitude present there at the same time people can be very open and honest and friendly too. I love the can-do spirit…when they want to people just go ahead and do it. That was refreshing after a lifetime in Toronto.
It’s convenient to look at Alberta’s woes as a function of upstream anti-oil plays, but there’s significantly more going on here. For example, spend some time reading about Ralph Klein’s austerity budgets in the 1990s. Klein didn’t have to cut nearly as much as he did. Interest rates were incredibly low, Alberta was shielded from the recession and Klein was perfectly placed to know how much investment was starting to flow into the oil sands. Klein had options - serious options that could have changed the economies in Alberta and Saskatchewan forever. Instead, he decimated the public service, killed education, then realized he went too far and tried to double spending over too short of a time. The damage was done and Alberta lost its best and brightest policy people.

British Columbia was completely fucked at the time and their premier had a good working relationship with Klein. That was the time for pipelines, not the time for austerity.

Ed Stellmach had little hope after Klein. Klein’s drunk driving was a massive scandal and that didn’t help, but by the time Klein was gone, Alberta’s public service was in the toilet. Provinces have a lot of power under Canada’s constitution but they need a strong public service to capitalize upon that.

It wouldn't be as bad as you might think without prediction - back in the days with "dumb" input method, the word choices would be listed by frequency of use, and you'd remember which choice the word you want would be.

So you'd type shi and click the first choice for 是, second choice for 时, etc without even needing to read the options since they'll always be in that slot. If there's a word you use frequently but is listed late in the list you can change that in the settings file. Same for shortcuts like bhys and you can always add your own shortcut.

The Chinese keyboard I use does not have internet access and only does prediction based on set phrases - eg if you type 时 it'd offer 間, 代, 事, 空 etc; if you type tmd it'd give you you-know-what, and I prefer it over the Google keyboard since my muscle memory can do most of the work instead of my eyes.
What are you missing out on right now?

Money.

What will you do with all that money?

Retire comfortably.

When I can retire. Why not change jobs to earn 30% more for the same amount of work? You're essentially speeding up your retirement every time you increase your total compensation.
On the other side of the analogy, Mr. Jeffries & co seem to think that:

- Everybody should "play baseball"; playing baseball is the perfect way to "have fun" because "the proponents of baseball" said so.

- If you aren't having fun, then you're not playing baseball correctly; Playing baseball correctly necessarily leads to having fun.

- Softball is just plain wrong; lots of people play softball and seem to have a lot of fun doing it, but they are clearly wrong and not having fun because they don't follow the rules that the "proponents of baseball" dictated 20+ years ago.

- Oh, yes, I sell baseball courses; but this doesn't make me biased at all when criticizing other baseball coaches or even other ways of having fun. It's just that all the other ways are wrong, always.
I think the big risk is wars caused by climate change and millions (billions?) of refugees migrating from where you once could do agriculture to where you might be able to do agriculture in the future. It's really hard to mitigate those effects.

I'd agree that it's off the topic, but they are correct in asserting that this is pretty naff code.

It's optimised to be terse rather than easily readable, which makes it poor code in my book.
Maybe you didn't mean to use that word but it's not about "explaining" them: you have to be able to write the code to solve a given problem, on the spot. The problem might require a familiar technique such as breadth-first search but it will need to be adapted; the problem is likely to be slightly different from anything you've seen before.

It's true that at the staff interviews i just did, LC was not required but at the staff interviews i'm about to do they will be.

This brings back fond memories. When I came back from CCC Camp 2003, OpenBSD got me interested. So I gave it a try, and had a real fun time in the ensuing 12 months. The simplicity, pretty good docs and the installer ("Do you want to edit /etc/hosts with ed now?") got me really hooked. I eventually didnt make it away from Linux for several reasons, but I still miss playing with OpenBSD. It felt so right and unbloated, something I cant say about Linux anymore these days.
