US salaries are often triple even Western European salaries.

Like at Amazon I earnt about $75k in Western Europe, the same job in the USA would be $165k (you can see the bands).

And that's before even considering the tax differences. The USA is the land of opportunity where you can really work your way up to a great lifestyle whereas Europe pays peanuts and then punishes you with extortionate income tax (but often no property or inheritance taxes).

Where are the developers of the MCAS though? IMO they, alongside any PMs, engineers etc. that made the decisions, executed them, okayed this piece of software, and then lied about it in front of the regulator should have criminal liability.

As a reminder, we're talking about a piece of software that could control the plane's angle of attack, pointing the nose downwards (with the obvious risk that this poses), and which relies on a single physical sensor, a pitot tube, which is known for relatively frequent (for aviation) failures due to ice and other blockages, which is why there are two of them.

If the people who made those choices didn't understand the ramifications of their actions they have no place in aviation. At the very least they should be fired, but ideally they should be brought to justice. Alongside every Boeing pilot, engineer, manager, exec who knew about this, and lied about it.

The economy is always deflationary because the way we create money also creates an obligation to return and destroy money so given enough time, the money supply trends towards zero no matter what you do. A higher interest rate makes it less appealing to take on a loan, which means repayment outweighs new loans which results in a net reduction in the money supply. Here is the dirty secret, you could have done the same thing by limiting reserves and increasing the reserve requirements without raising the interest rate. This is a long term effect that you can in theory do forever until your economy suffers from deflation and actually needs lower interest rates, possibly negative, to shrink the money supply.

Another reason is that a high enough interest rate makes people sell their risky assets and hold more money until the risk adjusted return on money and risky investments is the same. The latter is a short term effect that actually goes away eventually as paying a 70% interest rate makes the debt problem worse and necessitates even more debt just to pay the ridiculous interest rate.

The vae used in stable diffusion is not ideal for compression. I think it would be better to use the vector-quantized variant (by the same authors of latent diffusion) instead of the KL variant, then store the indexes for each quantized vector using standard entropy coding algorithms.

From the paper the VQ variant also performs better overall, SD may have chosen the KL variant only to lower vram use.
It's worth noting that these problems are things to be aware of, not the complete showstoppers some people seem to think that they are.

Oh dear, do you have any idea what, say, Emirates will do to Boeing and Airbus if the promised delivery date is missed? And how airplanes are built and delivered? Hint, delivery dates are not estimates and proposals that might be met, or maybe wont.

Absolutely anything is better than sprint pointing. This garbage process was adopted from what I can only assume is some cabal of "agile consultants". I have over 10 years in the industry. I cannot estimate something with less than a 20% margin. An estimate requires you to know everything up front, at that moment, for it to be accurate. Anyone who has made software knows this is never the case. The only thing it allows, and what I can assume is the only reason it continues, is because it's a job creation program for "agile certified" project managers and it produces a nice burn down/up chart you can show the manager. Sure, you can call points deadlines, but they are not. It's an arbitrary measurement of a unit of work that in total makes up a two week "deadline". Two weeks isn't enough to produce good code on anything more complicated than a boilerplate application.

Deadlines are far better. Tell me something needs to be done by next month it will be done. I can negotiate inside these bounds to prevent scope creep because a deadline is far more flexible than points. If you find yourself done with deadline work, you can refine and add touch ups. If you find yourself done with pointed work the PM will just assign you more work to "keep your points up" instead of allowing you to do the same.

The tyranny of the agile PM hinges on convoluted point systems. Even the one the writer prescribes. Force the management to actually agree on a deadline that is reasonable (not ship me facebook next week) and watch how productive and accurate developers can actually be. Read the comments here. Agile has been butchered to the point it's unrecognizable. Give me deadlines.
You know all of that is fault of the citizenry of the country... The elected those who decided those things and allow them to continue on. There is nothing great with people there.
That's an accusation far more serious than accusing someone of cheating at online chess. But it's not impossible and I had considered the thought. Ultimately I have difficulty believing that the controlling powers of chess.com would go along with a scheme like that - they're not hard up for money.

> How are application-device-specific passwords handled? Is there some documentation?

Not sure what do you mean with application device specific passwords? Currently Stalwart JMAP only allows registered accounts to login using a password which is stored encrypted with Argon2. Authentication can be done using the OAuth or Basic mechanisms.
There are no additional passwords specific to a particular device. Not sure if this answers your question though.
I wish discussions of such site didn't inevitably become discussions about software engineer interviews. It's a really nice site created by volunteers and I've often had it been the only decent resource online for a particular topic, if you want to use it as a reference their "terse but accurate" style for the prose and the compact working C++ code is really nice. And it covers some topics (e.g. treaps) which I've never seen appear in software engineer interviews.
This is why for compression tests, they incorporate the size of everything needed to decompress the file. You can compress down to 4.97KB all you want, just include the 4GB trained model.
I can't tell if this is a serious comment.
Both doubly linked lists and cyclic graphs can be written in a way that satisfies the borrow checker. If not already existing in the STL, there is a crate for it 99% of the time.
The value of ponzi-like blockchain games comes from the entertainment of playing, which is what makes them positive sum. The issue with this project is (1) community too small to be engaging (2) art and site is too generic and not entertaining. There are thousands of ponzi-like blockchain games (just search BNB miners as an example). I don’t advise building these type of ponzi products as there are ways to build entertaining dapps that also are financially positive in average through careful treasury investment in stablecoin products.
Because they do exist, have for 20 years, they just aren't used because that sounds like work that isn't a minimum viable product, or a waste of time to most cowboy "developers" / startups.

Testing / separation of dev environments is almost black magic.
Agreed. And while rust has fantastic ideas, those are frankly often badly executed:

- Static linking of everything

- Big dependency trees that somehow remind me of npm

- Slow compilation, it should reach at least the average speed of C compilation

- Big binaries because of static linking

Before this is solved, I frankly wouldn't even consider touching rust again for personal projects, did it once, and it was an awful experience with too long compile times, as my style of development depends on fast compile-run-test cycles and having to wait around a minute to recompile for a small program is just too much.
Takes 10 years to get nuclear from idea to the grid. And that is if you have an industry to build it. Similar, if not longer for renewable energy. Next decade ends European manufacturing, with East Asia / SE Asia taking the market share
> Leaving that aside, I was still hitting Rust "oh look the developer of this crate on which the entire universe depends still assumes that everything is x86

Anecdotally, I had the same issue recently with a C++ tool I wanted to tun on arm linux (forgot what it was; but it was a WASM tool. I ended up using a Rust alternative that was less mature, but did all I needed anyway)

Lastly, the issue you're describing is more of a DevOps one. C++ has a longer history, and one would hope it has accumulated more DevOps wisdom over that period of time.
Why would you say that? They are all rated 4+ stars on Amazon (at first glance), so the general consensus is that they are probably not that "horrible".

Personally, I enjoyed them a lot and I am actually a bit bummed that he stopped publishing new ones...

Granted, I probably would not have read them had I not recognised his name on the cover (there is too much cookie-cutter stuff out there). But I did not regret buying them and I remember being impressed by the fact that this guy wrote Syinternals AND engaging fiction...
And lost tens of billions in aircraft groundings, delayed orders and reputation. The only reason the 737Max is still selling is that Airbus can't make A320s and A220s fast enough to satisfy everyone, with a bit more competition Boeing would have been in a really bad position.

You could also just call them “radio shows”. It’s a weird thing that the company that made iPods for a few years defined that term and we have gone with it since.

As for the earlier part of your comment - it’s there in the name, “serial”. That was the experiment. But there have been serialized radio shows back when radio was the leading medium. We just don’t remember that time.

What I think is key here is that these people had formal experience and mentorship in doing radio. Lots of it. To them it was just applying that expertise to something we call something different due to shifts in distribution tech.

"No such language as C/C++."

"I see this a lot and just want to add that a slash ("/") does not imply a mixture of the two, it just means "and/or", so it would read "C and/or C++".

"All the left-brained, analytical people on comp.lang.c hate "C/C++". The right-brained, "creative" people don't mind it. End of story."

> Oh dear, do you have any idea what, say, Emirates will do to Boeing and Airbus if the promised delivery date is missed? And how airplanes are built and delivered? Hint, delivery dates are not estimates and proposals that might be met, or maybe wont.

Both Boeing and Airbus have missed a bunch of delivery dates this year and will continue to do so. For some of them they're blaming regulatory approval. Guess what, it happens, life goes on, people in that industry can at least recognise that it's better than flying a plane that hasn't been approved.

> And what makes you think planes don't have to safe for flight, with controls and sign offs, before take of?

They do, and again the point is: what happens if the plane isn't ready? It doesn't fly until it is. They don't ignore the checks because they have a deadline.
Yes, imagine air travel was run without deadlines.

You've booked a flight on dec 1 at 3pm. You check in, sit at the gate. At 2:40pm you are informed that, sorry, the plane isn't actually there yet. It's still on route. We'll fly at 7pm instead. You sit and wait. At 6:45pm you are informed that the plane is there, but the airport is out of fuel. More fuel will be there tomorrow. Rescheduled for next morning at 8am. You wait. At 7:40am next morning you are informed that the pilots are not awake yet. They had a long day yesterday, then went for some drinks, they just had to sleep in today. Rescheduled to 11am. At 10:30am somebody tells you that, well, things are in place but ATC went to a team building event, all flights grounded, but will be back at 4pm. You finally lift off, 25 hours late.

Entirely preventable had a deadline be set and all necessary components be scheduled correctly to meet that deadline.

Deadlines serve a purpose beyond coersion. There is misuse, but if you widen your horizon then you may realize that not all of it is.
Ergo using Linux is irresponsible? It’s the double-think I have a problem with.

Either 1) we say that Mac-using developers are stupider than Linux using-developers, and it’s irresponsible for Mac-using developers specifically to turn it off.

Or 2) we say that Linux is “horribly” insecure and it’s irresponsible for developers to use Linux whatsoever and they should go out and buy a Mac immediately to save themselves.

Or 3) we say that Mac-using developers are not stupider than Linux using developers and it’s fine to turn it off if they want.

Personally I’ll go for #3.
Refreezing poles feasible and cheap, new study finds
In theory, it would be possible to benefit from the ability of Stable Diffusion to increase perceived image quality without even using a new compression format. We could just enhance existing JPG images in the browser.

There already are client side algorithms that increase the quality of JPGs a lot. For some reason, they are not used in browsers yet.

A Stable Diffusion based enhancement would probably be much nicer in most cases.

There might be an interesting race to do client side image enhancements coming to the browsers over the next years.
For Elamite the language we have sources written in the Akkadian script. There are reasons to believe that the few Linear Elam inscriptions discovered today record the same Elamite language. You'd not be writing in a new language, just in a more ancient script of one of the earliest languages where records have been found!

The deadline is an arbitrary guess, based on experience of when something will be ready. Of course delivery dates are important, quality is also important.

The author I think could phrase the argument better by saying a delivery date (something that is promised, based on quality) is more useful than a deadline (something demanded, regardless of quality).

Delivery dates do not preclude working hard and bring prudent, but they are not hard stops. Rather they are good estimations that can and often do shift.

Sales team needs that thing by December 1st? Don't ask for it on November 29th. Put leeway into the model by giving time for the delivery date to be missed. It's called contingency.

But, depends on your philosophy - move fast and break things,or deliver consistent quality code.
On the other hand it means you don't automatically get security fixes and have to manually set up CVE monitoring and rebuild your application every time a CVE appears.

Of course if it appears in an old version the author won't bother to backport the fix so you will have to bump the dependency to the latest, doing all the API changes that you didn't want to do.
Labor and even facilities aren't free. Not that Perth doesn't have something, but perhaps in London they have world-class facilities and expertise. You really think they didn't consider doing the work where the cloak sat?

I doubt they shipped it parcel post.

The end result is that the cloak will be on public display. TFA says that the museum where it will be shown isn't finished construction yet. The cloak will be on display at PMAG in Scotland, until the new museum construction is done (2024). After that, I imagine in the future it might even do a world tour, as many irreplaceable antiquities do.
Ok, so is the issue is false advertisement rather than paid training per se? Sure, let the courts sort that out! But all things being equal, I would rather get paid while being trained and have an option to have its cost waived if I stay on for some time. Of course if training is a scam, again false advertisement. Sadly, plenty of college degrees are also a scam.
If you implement HTTP, surely your service is behind nginx. So it does not matter much, nginx is not going to send evil data to you.
I kinda always also found the dichotomy of fighting against "ultra-processed" foods and plant based meat substitutes rather weird. As clearly the later is very very far in the first.

So on other hand you want less processed stuff and then other you are making this stuff in factory to resemble something totally different. Not that you couldn't make acceptable patties from plants with relatively simple approaches.
The subset of employers who actually want to hire their H1Bs for the long term will initiate a Green Card application process for them, and once the worker has that, they can stay indefinitely (and, de facto, apply for citizenship eventually if that's what they want).

The disadvantage of a Green Card from the employer's perspective is that the worker is then free to change employment, so not all companies pursue this this.

> If you didn't have to worry about money what would you be doing?

I have asked this question 50-100 times and not once have I gotten an interesting answer. It's always "I'd travel" with no realization that for most people, travel is boring very quickly. After a couple of weeks most people just find it their new life. Yet another museum, yet another church, yet another temple, yet another market. But AFAIK most people never think about it because they're unlikely to actually not have to worry about money?
This is such a nice example of how relatively simple ideas can still be of huge utility.
It's not at all a marketing slogan. The woke people have a problem though. To cancel someone properly they have to possess a desire to stay in the social strata they are in. For example, a developer makes a Python joke and loses their job over it. Those developers had a desire to stay in their industry and thus canceling worked on them. "Cancel culture" is the term for the phenomenon of people actively looking for opportunities to cancel someone. I've seen it at two companies now where people seem to be deliberately offended at something no matter how mundane. This is the "culture" part of "cancel culture".

Crumb doesn't care what social strata he is in. There are plenty of people like him who don't care. These types of people are impossible to cancel because no matter what social mechanism you use to bully them it will not work. It is far easier to cancel someone who needs some social status to eat than it is to cancel someone who couldn't care how he eats.
