It’s not just the computers. The linked ABC report goes into the details:

> More than 42 incidents involved equipment malfunctions, and on more than 40 occasions, flight crews chose to ground the affected aircraft while problems were fixed.

> …

> In one incident on an American Airlines flight in April last year, multiple systems including both autopilot functions stopped working soon after take-off. On landing, the crew found the backup power unit, considered vital for safe flight, had failed and was emitting a strong electrical smell.

>…

> He said some other reports raised by the ABC were bizarre, such as an incident involving a United Airlines flight last August where fuel was found leaking into an overhead passenger bin. Fuel reserves are located in the wings.

>…

> One mechanic said they observed sub-standard manufacturing and testing of the planes, which resulted in wires being left exposed and debris such as rubbish, metal slivers and washers lodging itself inside various parts of the plane, which could lead to electrical short circuits or fires.

>…

> Griffith University's Dr Carim Jr reviewed several incidents from last year involving malfunctions with the MAX's stabiliser trim and said failures involving the component were "quite concerning".

Ruth Lawrence (string/knot mathematics) was said to have said being hothoused was akin to child abuse. Judit Polgar may have said something similar. (She also encountered a huge amount of semi institutional sexism in chess, and maybe has more reason to feel unhappy about that, than her father Lazlo's "experiment")

On the whole, absent some repeatable experiment it's hard to know how much angst in super bright people is a side effect of intelligence, how much is being taken out of cohort and thrown into an older group with different mental and physical (amygdala) development, and how much is their overbearing controlling parents.

Not super smart, not hothoused so not speaking from experience.

Yes. Looks like it's back to the 1960s, 70s, 80s, ... You found a parser that you've formally verified won't break. Great, I've heard that before.

The far bigger part of the problem is the spec - writing a formal spec is (for practical purposes) a similar process to writing a program, and similarly bug-prone. It's nice to have a clearly defined spec language, but that doesn't stop bugs/fault/problems and (by Gödel) can't stop a determined fool (fools are just too ingenious)!

I remember what happened I think. There was a thread here on HN a few years back presenting something new Ubuntu Unity related and discussion developed about how Unity was bad. Someone from Ubuntu team saw the thread and said he did not know people hated it so much and they will look into into it/change it back to gnome?
Apparently forgotten and I can't find the thread to verify the details!
The point here is that programmers are assigned tasks, do them, and the management (whose job is to put it in front of users) is failing at that leading to wasted efforts.

I'm not familiar with the details but it is said that Swift's ARC is several times faster than ObjC's, it somehow doesn't always require atomic inc/dec. It also got even better specifically on the M1 processors. As for GC's, with each cycle there's always overhead of going over the same objects that are not disposable.

Someone also conducted tests, for the same tasks and on equivalent CPU's Android requires 30% more energy and 2x RAM compared to iOS. Presumably the culprit is the GC.

It's a long way from nuclear raw material to nuclear waste, and it's expected a lot of valuable energy would be extracted along the way. This is the part that would benefit shareholders.

There's also a lot of transportation involved, this can mean undue risk to the environment.

Who knows, maybe unforseen externalities could be larger-than-life. Maybe even in the literal sense.

Similar to petroleum when you think about it where the crude oil has quite a lifecycle where it is eventually burned into waste CO2 and widely dispersed into the environment. Regardless of how bad it turned out to be, it took a long time to fully recognize the problem, and by that time it was really out of control.

Now the nuclear material straight from the earth is naturally toxic in a different way than the crude oil, even when no further processing into fuels has been done. But either energy source begins its journey toward its own kind of dispersal in ways that can not happen if it were to be left within the earth like it was to begin with.

Some things are a lot more difficult to un-disperse than others, but it looks like an uphill battle across-the-board, not just physically but especially long after the money has been spent.
Built a Caterham with a colleague once. Gotta say it probably wasn't worth it. I didn't learn as much about cars as I'd thought, eg I still don't really understand the engineering tradeoffs between different suspension types.

In terms of actually getting it built it was pretty much an advanced IKEA package requiring some specialised equipment, and it took us ages to get done.

Can't say the car is that fun to drive either. If you want to feel crazy acceleration just get a friend to show you their Tesla. The Caterham will cause some chuckles when you lift the clutch too fast for the 10th time that day, and feels flimsy. Fun, but probably not tens of grands fun.
> smallest bit size TX10

The smallest Torx size is a T1 (or TX1, whatever)! This size is best described as "pray that you never have to use it". I think I did... once... or maybe that was just staring at the driver wondering what it's for. Still, we have 16 different Torx sizes around here. Sixteen!

Also, there's a thing called Torx Plus out there. You can buy Torx Plus screws and things will work out for you, but don't buy Torx Plus bits unless you know what you're doing. That said, if you do use Torx Plus bits with Torx Plus screws, it works really well.

Neither parts of the statement is true for Philips: the Philips screws were borne out of a better compatibility with powered tools, and while the cam out properties have long been claimed as a torque limiter (generally in the context of assembling aluminum aircrafts before powered tools had good torque limiting), that was not part of the original 1932 patent. A later 1949 patent / refinement does make claims on that front, but those are mostly in terms of limiting damage to the screw IIRC.

Imo that's the main failure of the posix, it _looks_ like a Phillips, and behaves like one of you use a Phillips bit. Which is rather unfortunate and not really it's fault, but hard to overlook for "normal" usage.

I used to dislike Unity when it came out. I thought it's weird with the global menu, close button in the top-left corner and other ideas. However, after using macOS for a longer period of time, I got used to these ideas and actually prefer them nowadays. After that Unity became one of my favorite desktop environments.

They all wear out eventually, if you use them - but much more slowly than Philips or posidrive. Even a chewed up torx bit will still usually do the job - but a chewed up cross is useless.
Valid point. I think society applies a double-standard to fashion icons. Somehow they are able to wear the most absurd and inappropriate things and still get praised, whereas mere mortals have to wear whatever the fashion industry pumps up.

How much should they expect to get back by somehow impressing upon potential customers that they have a sane-ish tech stack (and maybe how much will that help to recruit?)
This is the side effect of being patented.
>(optimizations, caching, architecture, etc)

These things are trivial compared to what other fields of software engineering have to deal with (and other fields have to deal with all this stuff too along with extra harder stuff as well)

At the most advanced levels of pure web dev it is still FAR easier then other fields of programming. It only gets a bit harder at massive massive scale, which 99% of developers are shielded from through frameworks or the fact that the company itself doesn't deal with that level of scale.
Probably, although I tend to stay away of such solutions, as they eventually turn into headaches to sort out in some machine, where the hack doesn't work as expected.
> So how do you stop looking? Is that even possible? Or does it just happen?

So, just to put it in perspective, I did this at ~30 years old. My wife is a few years older than me. Instead of trying to find a partner, boyfriend, or whatever, go looking for a single friend. IOW, change what you're looking for.

1. It's a lot easier to find friends than potential life partners.

2. Expanding your network increases the odds of finding potential life partners.

3. IME, turning a budding friendship into a relationship is relatively easy if both people are willing. Also, if either one isn't willing, it won't really harm the friendship because it is so new.

As an adult, making new friends is a bit harder than when we're younger. Hit up meetup.com and just start going to random things that might be interesting to you. Or ask your existing friends to invite you on random outings they have with their friends (you've probably got a "gateway friend"[1] that has lots of friends that don't overlap with your friends) and just start meeting people with the sole goal of making new friends.

Your secondary goal is to find a life partner, but don't make it your primary one. Eventually, you just start making friends everywhere you go (it took me almost a year), stop caring about the life partner part, and during that time I had zero relationships. At the end of that, 90% of my friends were women that I never had a physical relationship with. When I met my wife, we just sat and talked for hours, and then I knew it was different than any other friendship I'd had in the last year. We exchanged numbers and then talked for hours yet again and again. At no point was there talk of a relationship or anything more, in fact, we weren't officially dating until about ~2 months after we met, but we were inseparable after ~3 weeks.

There were a ton of failures along the way though, especially near the beginning. Some truly cringe-worthy moments that I'll take to the grave. But it was worth it, in the end.

Yes it is convenient, I agree with you.

But it's also frustrating when one track in the middle of an album disappears, or when a few tracks from an old playlist are suddenly greyed out for some licensing reason.

For these reasons I started buying actual records of my favorite albums a few years ago. I realized I had spent X amount on 10 years of Google Music (now youtube music) and had nothing to show for it. In fact, during that time tracks had disappeared from my playlists.

So I felt more like a conservator than a music lover buying up old 90s albums.
Even by the claims of your article, it doesn't sound really like it was his fault. The system was designed to a specification, whether or not the architect was given too much free reign is entirely on the board.

If you hire a design team to create a car with a massive hole where the engine and wheels should be, because it is more "clean", and then neglect to hire an engineer to check their work is feasible, is it on the design team or on you being incompetent?

You can say all you want "hot air naturally rises", true, but I doubt an architect has the training to be a safety engineer, and before you say "oh well that's obvious", consider that heavy objects naturally fall to the earth, and yet we have airplanes.

They had a design which would work, but nobody in charge actually did the legwork of bothering to check if it was feasible or not, and/or bungled it so badly even if it were feasible it was like attaching a helicopter to an airplane and then wondering why it didn't fly...

People who dis the imperial measurement system (as this post does) don’t appreciate the duodecimal system. It’s a ‘forced’ way of thinking of measurement and better when used in commerce. The metric system can support duodecimal but people have to be selective with their numbers (e.g. Plato’s 5040)

Highly composite numbers are under-appreciated. There are more divisors in 12 than in 10. Matching our number system to fingers isn’t ideal in a lot of cases.

Air carriers transported more than 330 million passengers worldwide on Boeing
aircraft in 2021.1 With the return to service of its 737 MAX aircraft2 and increasing
demand for air travel, Boeing delivered more than 160 new aircraft to air carriers
in the first half of 2022, with a backlog of nearly 4,200 aircraft on order. The
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is responsible for overseeing the safety of
passenger aircraft in the United States, including ensuring that aviation
manufacturers such as Boeing meet safety requirements when producing and
delivering new aircraft.

However, since 2019, a number of concerns have been raised regarding
production of the Boeing 737 and 787 aircraft—the two production lines with the
largest number of aircraft on order. Boeing has not delivered any 787 aircraft in
over a year due to production quality issues, and in December 2021, FAA
mandated inspections on certain previously delivered 787 aircraft due to reports
of missed requirements during assembly. In addition, a number of complaints to
Congress, FAA, and our office have alleged ongoing production deficiencies and
undue pressure on Boeing staff in the 737 and 787 production lines.

In light of these concerns, the Chairmen and Ranking Members of the House
Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and its Subcommittee on Aviation
requested that we evaluate FAA’s oversight of Boeing aircraft production.
Accordingly, our audit objectives will be to evaluate FAA’s oversight of Boeing 737 and 787 production, specifically its processes for (1) identifying and resolving
production issues and (2) addressing allegations of undue pressure within the
production environment.

We plan to begin the audit in July and will contact your audit liaison to schedule
an entrance conference. We plan to conduct our audit at FAA Headquarters and
regional offices responsible for overseeing Boeing production, as well as relevant
Boeing locations. If you have any questions, please contact me or Tina Nysted,
Program Director.

To provide some historic context: Unity was released in times when there was this "Netbook" trend, started by Asus EeePC with 7" display, followed by a lot of other cheap Netbooks in the 7"-10" display category. Additionally, Canonical pushed to become a mobile/smartphone OS vendor. These constrained display sizes were some of the main factors in the UX design of Unity. Fast forward to today, Netbooks were a short-lived hype to be replaced with Ultrabooks (13" and up), and Canonical failed to become a mobile phone OS vendor and went back to Gnome as a default DE.
