That's Cray/HPE's problem then. And if they can't fund bugfixes, maybe they shouldn't be in the business providing support for operations that handle nuclear weapons. And if their client can't allocate funds to keep the software they use secure, maybe they also shouldn't be working with nuclear weapons.

We keep coming up with excuses for why companies can't give Open Source projects money, and they all seem to boil down to: "companies are systemically unable to make secure/stable products, can't adapt to emergencies or pay for fixes even when it's the obviously most efficient way to get the fixes in, and because of that these companies shouldn't be in charge of anything dangerous or important."

Which is maybe not the conclusion those companies would want us to draw, but it seems to be what they're suggesting whenever they hide behind crippling bureaucracy like that somehow makes the situation better instead of worse. It's really irresponsible for Cray/HPE to take on a paid contract like this if they can't handle the job requirements.

>If you don’t like their model, choose someone else.

Many follow their example and without push back there will be no someone else because average users my not understand consequences unless they are educated by people who do understand them. Like with many other areas requiring certain level of expertise to understand consequences of certain desicions.

> we’ve tried relying on “user responsibility” before,
>Why should average users who would otherwise be served perfectly well by Apple’s solution be required to be “responsible”

Do you believe in choice? If you do then average users should have a choice whether to rely on Apple or switch such functionality off. Without having such choice people become less and less responsible. You can say they choose by buying such machines but I do not think this could be qualified as a choice just like accepting EULA. It's not really a choice.

> Our culture has become filled with a certain kind of noise in which people who frequently don't know what they are talking about make predictions about the future.

Focusing on "fact-checking" in general, let alone expanding it to include "prediction checking", worsens the huge amount of noise in our culture of supposedly authoritative pronouncements being made that turn out to be wrong. The Facebook "fact check" that is the subject of the article we are discussing is a case in point. If Facebook weren't so fixated on trying to remove "noise" through "fact checking", they wouldn't be going overboard all the time and removing things that aren't noise at all, but useful dissent.

Also, the very term "fact checking", as it is being used in our culture now, is a Russell conjugation (someone else brought up Russell conjugations elsewhere in this thread). Facebook is "fact checking" (actually their outsourced third parties who remain anonymous and unaccountable are doing it, but let that pass); those who support Facebook (and other "fact checkers") are "helping to spread authoritative information"; those who question Facebook (and other "fact checkers") are "questioning authority" (even if they cite actual facts).

In short, while I agree that our culture is filled with noise, I don't think all the noise is from individuals who don't know what they're talking about; I think a lot of it is from organizations who don't like to have their power and authority questioned.

A semantic distinction without an actual difference. At the end of the day all an NFT does is state "author X gives ownership of Y to Z", if you trust the public key of X a signed text file stating "author X gives ownership of Y to Z" gives you identical guarantees to a blockchain NFT stating the same thing. Nothing stops author X from minting a blockchain NFT that states "author X gives ownership of Y to Z" and also an additional blockchain NFT stating "author X gives ownership of Y to Q"... it's literally just a digitally signed string.

What's more likely is that HPE/Cray have so much padding in the contract that paying someone $200/hour to implement the function and appropriate tests and it would be a rounding error on the contract.

I think they would do that, except Mr. Master Engineer with 25 years FORTRAN experience and 20 years as a principal member of a FORTRAN committee would have to explain to his employers why he can't handle this himself.

Either that or he sold himself to HPE as being able to throw his weight around because of his committee membership ("hire me and you'll get what you want from FORTRAN"), and we're seeing narcissistic entitlement when it turns out that's not the case and now his job is at risk.

They're required when performing aerobatics, or if you plan to open the door in flight. (e.g. pilots of skydiving planes need to wear one, even though they plan to land with the plane)

But bail-out rigs are much smaller than normal skydiving rigs; the latter would be uncomfortable to wear while operating the plane. A bail-out rig is thinner, shaped more like a seat cushion, and contains only a single parachute, often a non-steerable round (which can reliably open much lower).

Example of typical bail-out rig: https://www.summitparachutesystems.com/pilot-emergency-back-...

I find it really strange that Mayer gets the blame for Yahoo’s decline. Yahoo was racing downhill before Mayer was even considered for the CEO role there. I am doubtful anyone could have reversed Yahoo’s fortune. At least when Steve Jobs showed up to save Apple they had a core competency. Frankly Yahoo didn’t.

Yahoo failed to capitalize on search until Google was entrenched. They failed to invest properly in targeted advertising until Google owned that as well. They sat on strategic investments like Flickr until they were nearly dead. They could have sold to Ballmer’s Microsoft for an unjustifiable fortune and somehow they fucked that up, too. They could have bought Google for change and said no.

Yahoo lucked into success. It was literally started as a list of links. They realized people would pay a fortune for banner ads and raked in money hand over first until competent competitors appeared. They started Yahoo Mail which was a great idea but then made it feel low quality by sticking ads in outgoing email and then again just let it sit and rot. They bought a corporate mail app and then just sat on it, too. They didn’t even use it internally. Yahoo managed to treat every market opportunity the way Microsoft treated the post-iPhone mobile market.

I worked at Yahoo during part of this decline. The frustrating thing was that Yahoo couldn’t decide what they were. They kept calling themselves a media company but that didn’t seem to mean anything. They didn’t have a plan to really grow their media presence and they were investing crazy in rebuilding an ad system that they couldn’t convince people to switch to.

When Mayer came on board, lots of people (online at least) claimed that her real job was just to find an acquirer. That might not be far from the truth.

> With postgres you could set up a read-only replica or something. At least for me, the small effort is well worth not having to worry about accidentally deleting production data.

We do do this, and probably should be more disciplined about connecting to it when only reading. Of course that doesn't help if we need to run an update in production, but that isn't that often.

> I feel like having an easy mechanism to clone the production database somewhere you can play with is well worth the effort. You can even use those clones to run backtests and other integration/regression tests against, which is also a very nice to have.

We do actually do this as well (nightly), and it is a huge productivity boost for testing and development. I would recommend to anyone that writes software dealing with persisted data to invest in an easy mechanism to clone from production.
> Do pilots of small aircraft consider this in practice?

No. Not unless it's required (doing aerobatics work requires it, which is rather more likely to overstress the aircraft than regular mostly straight and level flying).

Small airplanes just don't fall apart in flight (exceptions like the Piper wing spar in training duty are just that - exceptions, and typically lead to a lot of exception requirements). They only come apart if you've already screwed up a lot - usually lost control flying into a cloud without an instrument rating and ended up in a graveyard spiral (nose down, steep bank, you either hit the ground at speed or pull the wings off first, and then hit the ground at speed).

I know a lot of GA pilots. I know none who fly with parachutes.

Things like the Cirrus airframe chute are interesting, and have saved some people, but Cirrus seems to attract a large number of people who outfly their skill level and get themselves into a lot of trouble. Sometimes the parachute helps, but they shouldn't have been there in the first place.

General wisdom is that once the engine quits, the airframe is the insurance company's problem. However, an awful lot of the time, the pilot is able to perform a safe off-airport landing with minimal or no damage to the aircraft. You can safely land on roads, in fields, in random desert, etc, and walk away with a perfectly usable airplane. A typical single engine GA aircraft only lands at about 50mph. It really doesn't take much distance to get down and, if not stopped, at least slow enough that you don't really hurt yourself or the airframe if you go off the end of [whatever].
Depends if they like the person that did it or not.
I’m curious who is the person who supposedly shot footage of the plane from a distance as it was heading towards its crash. If he was in the air in the parachute, who was filming the plane from the ground?
I see your points and its valid. If battery life is not a problem and the project is more than blinking a light, Rpi is way to go.

When Satoshi left Bitcoins were worth essentially nothing (and obviously when it was created). There is no shortage of example 'experts' from back then that were convinced that Bitcoin would always be worth nothing or nearly so. In such a state Bitcoin is just some random obscure open source P2P application (in fact, Wikipedia initially deleted the article on it exactly as such).

> The premise given is that some other technology will displace Bitcoin. This is not implausible, but it also applies to fiat!

Fiat is backed by the/a government. The main scenario that I can think of in which something replaces fiat currency is if something replaces government. If an event occurs in which government is no longer around, there will probably be bigger problems to worry about, e.g., when the Imperial ruble was replaced by the Soviet ruble (and then the Russian ruble):

I was doing a video shoot of a group of sky divers, but I was not getting out of the plane. I don't know the exact make/model of plane, but it was small. I was provided a parachute. I was told it was required by regulations that all in the plane needed one. The only training I was provided was a pointing to a handle on a chest strap and the phrase "if you find yourself outside of the airplane, this is the only thing you will want to be concerned".

I did not enquire about what subsection of the regulations made this requirement or any of the qualifications of equipment. The pilot did have a parachute on as well.

Satoshi Nakamoto and Elon Musk
This is just my own personal hair brained idea, but my own idea on the best way to reduce the price of housing is simply to make it harder for people to buy a home. Hear me out. I do not mean increase the price of homes. I mean to drive prices down, you must restrict peoples ability to buy a home.

Essentially, if you make it easier for people to buy a home, then you will end up with more buyers, when you have more buyers then the demand for the product is increased and that results in the price of the product to rise. If you restrict the buyers then there is less demand for the product, and less demand results in the price of the product dropping. If less people are able to buy, then less people are able to sell, if people can't sell then they will lower prices.

It is hard to restrict buyers for houses, the only way I've thought of that is possible is to increase the minimum down payment size. If the minimum down payment size was increased to something really big like 50% for a few years, that would drastically reduce the number of people that would be able to buy a home, and that drastic decrease in buying demand would result in a drastic decrease in prices.

Conversely, where I live the minimum down payment is 5% if tomorrow the gov were to say "we want to make it easier for people to buy a home, and so we are reducing the minimum down payment to 2%" that would mean that more people would qualify to buy a home. More people qualifying would mean that there are more buyers and buying pressure is increased, and increased buying pressure would result in rising prices. So lowering the minimum down payment size, while well meaning, would soon result in the prices for homes going even higher and we would be right back where we started with many people being priced out of the market.

Increasing the minimum down payment size would also mean people effectively get priced out of the market because they would be unable to afford the minimum down payment, but conversely, the prices of houses would fall drastically because of the decreased buying pressure. People would be forced to save for a bigger downpayment, but the total they would pay when they actually buy the home would be decreased.

I bet what they actually did, is to only delete pictures from accounts that were clearly created by systems that used images as steganographic containers for arbitrary private data storage. (The use of such systems is why Google Photos — originally offering unlimited storage — had to later limit free storage to 5GB.)

Flickr had to make it clear that any free-tier user could potentially be impacted; but in practice the impact was limited to users who were actually abusing the system (though in a way that was previously "within the letter of the law.")

Yup, and there's nothing saying Cray, or [customer w/nuclear weapons], or anyone else is required to use that OS package. Perhaps they would have been better off writing their own in this instance.

Or, better yet, they could write a fix and add it to the OS package (kind of the way it's supposed to work - the set of users maintain it so everyone benefits?).
That's because the US has a low amount of corruption on the positions that face the public.

I'd be interested too. I've seen takes loosely along these lines before, but my familiarity is pretty shallow and I don't remember specific sources. There's a line of thought that traditional pro-capitalism analysis of the "economic calculation problem" would tell us that a massive corporate retailer like Walmart should be mired in inefficiency compared to retailers with more localized authority (e.g. regional or franchised chains). Since that's not what we see, something must be missing from the analysis. For example, some have proposed that technological advancements (in fields including telecommunications, logistics, and accounting) have made centralization radically cheaper and more effective since the 1980s or so.

FWIW there's an entire paper on the subject of these operations: https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/187613369.pdf

(well a report in TOPLAS really, but that's pretty close)

There are technically 5 different versions of this operation, though only 2 (possibly 3) are in common use. Common Lisp seems to implement all of them except, somewhat oddly, the euclidean version (the "actual modulo"), its mod function is instead a flooring division.

edit: it looks like Python also follows flooring, not euclidean, meaning the quotient is rounded downwards, and per "a = nq + r" the remainder has the sign of the divisor:

>>> 5 % -2
-1
>>> divmod(5, -2)
(-3, -1)

The C version is the "truncating" division, meaning the quotient is truncated (rounded towards 0).
