In the case of Dieselgate, the engineers who programmed the emission control system built something that let other engineers believe that the system is working alright when it didn't. Of course, for the engineers who commited the fraud, everything worked as expected by hiding from the other engineers that the system was only in the test setup reaching the emission goals.

In the case of the 737 MAX, I doubt that only the manangement is to be blamed. This sounds like the adage that success has many fathers, but failure none. The practicality of certain design for its intented purposes in its actual use cases is at the heart of engineering. I don't think that a top-down view is sufficient where it is "manangement" that is setting specific goals and "engineering" is only obligated to observe these specific goals instead of also considering the broader context.

Back to the original debate: Even if "the MACS did what it was built to do (make the plane behave like a traditional 737)" the whole design did not what it was supposed to do. Admittedly it did fly, but not safely. And the whole process of quality control, which should ensure that it was safe, did fail as well.

This is why I think a claim like "engineering ... cannot pretend something is working when it isn't" is quite naïve. Why do we need all those complex regulations about quality control, when it is so obvious that something is working or not?
Not to detract from the point, but I don't think you can take revenue numbers from RedShift to Snowflake like that. We made that move and ended up with 20x the monthly cost (after budgeting for 10x).

> I've always been fascinated by the idea that intelligence lies within a spectrum. Someone might be incredibly smart about a narrow topic or field, yet be blind to their own stupidity within another realm.

I've been seriously bitten by this, and find it more scary than fascinating. Growing up, I thought people who followed cult leaders and charismatic narcissists were so stupid (still do), it appeared so transparent to me. Later, in my professional and adult life I found myself to be equally gullible when intelligent people were abusive or outright dumb in other areas.

The point is, the "good" exchanges with worth of billions $ weren't not hacked yet. So that puts a lot of trust in them.

I agree there's too much emphasis on Snowflake, but I think the article still makes a good point, which I interpreted as something like this:

1) Cloud provider core competency is basically IaaS

2) Some level of SaaS was baked in to attract or lock-in customers, but isn't really a core competency

3) This leaves room for faster more agile startups to come in and build best of breed SaaS solutions on top of the IaaS, including those areas where cloud providers already have their own solutions.

I don't see a tipping point on the horizon to warrant language like "impending reshuffle", but I think it's an interesting trend to keep tabs on.

That's true, but you also can't know every possible point of failure of an apparatus under load just from design principles. That's why they flex the wings of new airplane designs until they break, for instance. So I expect testing under extreme tension while squatting right beside the thing without so much as a pair of safety goggles is taking unnecessary risk. I'd go for a heavy coat and helmet with face shield at least, if I needed to be that close. (But I'd rather find a way not to be.)
> Meta uses AWS’s proven infrastructure and comprehensive capabilities to complement its existing on-premises infrastructure, and will broaden its use of AWS compute, storage, databases, and security services to provide privacy, reliability, and scale in the cloud.

I don't think this is such a big deal. Almost all major companies (with the exception of the major cloud providers themselves of course) use the public cloud to handle some elastic compute and storage. How much depends on each company, and I wouldn't be surprised if Meta / Facebook moves a small amount of its non-core business operations to the public cloud.

Funny thing is I would have expected them to move it to Azure, given that they have a good partnership with Microsoft and use Office 365 across the company. But I guess they prefer to diversify using Amazon AWS for the "cloud" part and Microsoft for their documents, spreadsheets etc.

It more mirrors the "FOQNEs" or "Franchise-Organized Quasi-National Entities" from Snow Crash. Sovereign individuals that hold massive bitcoin stores can transact to anyone because they can afford the fees. Normies that can't will be beholden to these large corporate interest. Transferring money to a business or person will happen in a database in Coinbase or other exchange, much like now with a bank. Settlement will happen between banks and organizations they've partnered with. For the common person the interface will be the same. Settlement between organizations will change.
Definitely this: If I had to guess, Snowflake gets a lot more customers from organizations with pre-existing balkanized data silos that need to be fixed than from Redshift churn. Just a guess though.
Depending on your UI, you can also load the images into a hidden div (display:none), catch the load event for each image, and display the div once you've detected that the entire image set has loaded.

I want to say I did something like this for an infinite scroll, grid layout some time ago where I didn't have the image dimensions to help the browser. Details are fuzzy but there seemed to be a gotcha here and there, some of which was around the load event.

Of course, the user's perceived wait time goes up a bit, as you're not displaying each image as it loads. But, that can be mitigated somewhat by fewer images per pagination and/or preloads.

The overall solution worked well for our use case.
I've posted thousands of photos to my instagram over the last decade and generally loved being a user of it (although it did give me FOMO and jealousy).

A month or so ago instagram deleted my account permanently because their system falsely flagged it as "suspicious activity". My account was never compromised or spammy. It was simply because I used the web interface from a few locations as well as the mobile app. Really frustrating. I don't actually miss it though, I thought I would.
The phasing of that is obviously tone-deaf, but I can't object to the principle. Would you read something that mentioned "the narrow, slit-like eyes of Chin Loo"? Didn't think so.

The better solution is obviously to include whatever characters you want but write them well. However, since the authors of that time seemingly couldn't write Chinese characters well, leaving Chinese people out entirely makes for better literature.

define 'made the decision'. Who made the decision by your estiamtion? was it the president who directed aides to implement a vaccine mandate? was it the aid who decided it was most appropriate to do through CMS? was it the head of CMS who directed individuals in his organization? Was it the person who actually fired up microsoft word and WROTE the text? The person who published the final rule?

Your argument is a straw man to try and give the veneer of a high minded process complaint to something you simply disagree with on substance. It is characteristic of certain groups and it is unfortunately rarely actively critiqued. It has become common place and is fundamentally disruptive to productive discourse.

I’m very fair with how I bill my clients, and I do bill distinct tasks on separate timers. This means I’ll sometimes have a dangling 5min to be attached later to a 15min increment when I resume it. But yes, if my task is interrupted for another billable thing, that is a new clock that’s started, because it’s another task that’s tracked separately.

I didn't mean entertaining, exactly, so much as that it seemed unlikely to convince anyone who held the opposite view since it (shallowly) seemed easily worked around. It was an important part of the more interesting argument, which you've elaborated on further and which this morning I would have expected to convince - "it is probably harder than the thing we need, and also still relies on the thing we need" seems pretty conclusive if accurate.

Go has first-class functions and now has generics. So, you can definitely implement zip, sum, map, filter, reduce, etc. The fact that they're not included in the standard library I think has more to do with the opinionated creators of the language than any limitation[0]. You can absolutely implement them yourself (and a couple of these are pretty trivial to implement) in a library as an aid. I've done that in the past. I miss them too.

In fact at the link below you'll see one of the creators explicitly say they're easy to implement (and his own implementation pre-generics) but he doesn't think you should use them (Rob Pike). "Having written it a couple of years ago, I haven't had occasion to use it once. Instead, I just use "for" loops.

You shouldn't use it either."

It is perfectly possible - and should be more common! - to believe that something is a crucially important problem and still believe that a proposed solution is a bad idea. Especially - but not only - when the proposed solution seems (as I think this one seems to dragonwriter) unlikely to actually solve the problem.

Yeah. That actually happened recently in Minneapolis, a story that got amazingly little media coverage. Cops in an unmarked van were driving around shooting rubber bullets and people. Dude things they're trying to kill him, so he shoots back. After he realizes theyre cops, he drops his gun and the officers beat the shit out of him. Prosecutors tried to get him to plea down, but he fought the case and was declared not guilty.
Indeed. My point of view is as a parent of a 16-year old myself. Kyle's parent needs to be locked up here. She's the guilty party, as the supposed guardian of this child. Kyle, defending himself in that bizarro situation, and given current law in that state, was innocent. But there's no world in which a parent should allow that situation to EVER occur. If we dropped a bunch of armed teenagers in the middle of a riot, we should expect mayhem and death, no matter what their individual politics are. We have a serious problem in this country and it isn't Kyle Rittenhouse.

> There's some sort of folk wisdom that the lowest layer of cloud services is a pure commodity service.

> Cloud vendors might be pretty happy making money just in the lowest layer. Margins aren't so bad and vendor lock-in is still pretty high.

It may be folk wisdom, but big customers look at stuff like storage and CPU pricing when picking a vendor, because they need lots of storage and CPU. These services, in turn, are priced close to the actual cost of the underlying storage and CPU because of the high volume of storage and CPU involved.

I have worked at cloud vendors. Margins aren't great. Cloud vendors are always asking questions like, "How does vendor X sell this for so cheap? We can't make a profit at that price! How can we make our costs for X lower?" The lock-in is seen as a way to sell the higher-level services.

However, the high-level services, the stuff that start-ups compete with, also face competition with open-source projects. Things that used to be SaaS are now DIY with open-source projects running on IaaS. Ten years ago you had no Kubernetes, and you didn't have columnar storage out of the box on PostgreSQL. Cassandra was immature. Nowadays, open-source software running on IaaS has killed the need for bigger segments of the SaaS market, assuming you have enough expertise in-house to run it.

my understanding is that you can't claim self-defense if you initiated violence yourself. Threatening unarmed people with a gun, pointing it at them is a credible threat of violence that the people have the right to defend themselves from, and that is what they tried to do in particular by chasing that gun wielding moron away. Unfortunately that aspect seems to have been totally overlooked.

> "1,500,000" can be shortened from "1 million 5 hundred thousand" to "1 million 5"

Is this actually true? There is no "million" form in Chinese. Powers-of-1000 separators don't make any sense in the language either[1]. 150,0000 is, fully, 一百五十万 "one hundred five ten 10,000". And you obviously can't shorten that to 一百五 "one hundred five" because that's 150, not 150,0000. You could try saying 一百五万, but I don't think that makes much sense.
