Radians makes the most sense just because (as others have pointed out) pi appears all over in math, and in all those places if you are working with a unit of raidans the math becomes a lot easier. In a few cases turns are easier to work with, but teaching them is a dead end to the vast majority of students who will never work in those domains, and even the few students who work in a domain where turns make sense they will still spend time in other areas of math that works much better in radians.

Kc7 – A cybersecurity game in Azure Data Explorer
When have you ever used the Taylor series of sine and cosine for anything (outside school) ?

When you approximate functions by polynomials, including the trigonometric functions, the Taylor series are never used, because they are inefficient (too much computation for a given error). Other kinds of polynomials are used for function approximations.

The Taylor series are a tool used in some symbolic computations, e.g. for symbolic derivation or symbolic integration, but even in that case it is extremely unlikely for the Taylor series of the trigonometric functions to be ever used. What may be used are the derivative formulas for trigonometric functions, in order to expand an input function into its Taylor series.

The Taylor series of arbitrary functions (more precisely, the first few terms) may be used in the conception of various numeric algorithms, but here there are also no opportunities to need the Taylor series of specific functions, like the trigonometric functions.

The Taylor series obviously have uses, but the specific Taylor series for the trigonometric functions do not have practical applications, even if they are interesting in mathematical theory.

My understanding of the situation in the UK is that you are allowed to record video of a public place but in that case you have to register yourself as a data controller (which involves paying an annual fee), explain what personal data you are collecting, how long you are keeping it for, and what the purpose is, and so on, inform everyone affected, which probably means writing to your neighbours and putting up signs, make the recordings available to anyone who has reason to believe that you may have collected their personal data (a number plate does count as personal data), and probably other stuff as well: bureaucracy, legal liability, ... basically, unless you're a business with a reasonable turnover and an actual problem you're trying to solve, are you sure you want to do this?

If you have a camera pointed mostly at your property, but some public land is visible, then I think you can avoid becoming a data controller, and all the complications that accompany that, by masking out that part of the image before the data is recorded. But please check before proceeding.

The law is complicated and keeps changing and I'm no expert. Everything I've written is really just an example of the sort of the rules that may exist and you might have to worry about: perhaps interesting for someone who lives in a jurisdiction where the rules are much simpler.
Yes - that was very interesting one of the drivers for what I was working on was that the z/VM segmentation would allow for partitioning of workloads to avoid over-licensing and address some security needs.

The tough part was if you didn’t have that perfect scaling opportunity, things fell down fast, and the marginal cost for more resources was way too much. IBM tried to oversell it.

Been saying this privately for a long time. Agree on "GPL is the best choice," as well. My personal experience with devs who don't want to GPL their code or contribute to GPL projects is that they're under the impression that having a permissive license on their own project will get $corp to use it and, somehow, they'll profit from $corp using it. Haven't personally seen it yet, but I have seen a bunch of permissive licensed stuff get pulled into bigger projects and changes never contributed back.
RoboVM tried to close the source but they made a release of a version that still had the GPL license attached to it. They didn't commit those sources to the public git.

They had to release those sources after the fact because they didn't change the license in the general release.

In 2D you can measure the solid angles using steradians.

I guess that turns interpreted as parts of whole circles generalize to parts of whole spheres, and you should divide by 4pi instead of 2pi???
Naive eh? What "nasty things" do you think are released into "every layer of atmosphere"?

Since we're specifically talking about SpaceX and Starlink, let's talk about Falcon and StarShip rockets. Let's look at the "long list of very nasty things".

Falcon 9 is expecting to launch a record number of flights this year, recent reports suggesting 52. Falcon 9 burns RP1 (a refined kerosene, very similar to jet fuel), a hydrocarbon that mostly produces CO2 when burnt, but also Carbon monoxide, and plain old carbon. The Falcon 9 has about 200k litres of fuel when fully loaded. It sounds like a lot, but for perspective a fully loaded Airbus A380 has a fuel capacity of 380k litres. So, they output of a record breaking year will be the equivalent of around 25 long distance flights of a large passenger aircraft. I'm not going to find out how many long distance large plan flights are happening, but many estimates are over 100k a day. So a record breaking year outputs a fraction of a percentage that airline flights do each hour. And the "nasty" stuff is mostly CO2, CO, and C.

Starship will burn Methane, and will burn even cleaner than Falcon 9. It will also be fully reusable, resulting in less waste again. On the downside, methane is a potent greenhouse gas, so any unburt fuel would be not great. That said, rockets are designed to make the most efficient of fuel, and any unburt fuel is not going to be released in normal operation.

> I'm no rocket engineer

Colour me shocked!

As for going through "every layer" of the atmosphere, I wouldn't get too worried about that. A lot of a rocket's fuel is burnt at lower altitudes (the same level at which passenger and military Jets operate) and the various zone mix readily, and are really so massive that you would have trouble measuring the impact of hundreds to thousands of flights of Starship per year.

> Also, the distance from "hello world" to "use your coding skills creatively" is really high, and a lot of people just bail before they get to that goal.

I agree. When I got into programming as a teenager in the 90s, you could pretty quickly go from having fun with IBM Logo, to learning Turbo Pascal, to writing an application in Delphi that, e.g. your uncle running a small business can get actual use out of.

It's probably not like that any more. What you get out of your effort is probably a narrower specialization now than you would have gotten back then, or, conversely, you'd have to put in a lot more effort to become similarly versatile as you would have been back then.
I don't understand how this could be. Can you be concrete or give a link? I would like to understand.

So many tools. What really frustrates me about stuff like this, every new employee brings in their own biases and tools they prefer to work with, then there's a battle over working with an existing process or replacing it for the new shiny thing which isn't really that much better. The majority of time you just spend learning these new tools only to then be replaced by something else. What's worse, every tool is some additional per head user cost. Personally I get the feeling like a bundled GSuite plus some chat and Jira workflow does the job but maybe I'm just old school.

Right. The issue is more of first impressions... generally speaking, on a day to day basis, yeah, you feel it. This is going to be much more of an issue for someone for instance in sales.

> entrepreneur who notoriously incinerated billions of dollars in value at WeWork

The dollars were not incinerated, they belong to other people now. Success highly depends on your perspective.

I believe the "bro culture" is refreshing compared to the usual stiff corporate culture and is not restricted to any sex. Wouldn't have called it that way and I have yet to see any engineers doing "locker room talk". Most just aren't really the type. A stereotype perhaps, but that is as true for the accusation of a culture not being welcoming. I would dispute that and I believe it is just not what some people want it to be. Maybe it is different in SV because the place also attracts the gold diggers and opportunists that are prone to take other risks as well.

Especially with the history of how nerds were seen by society, it just sounds like a joke. And overall a joke it turned out to be. So much so that people rejected attempts to reform a culture. Now behavior is less carefree, but the usual corporate culture was still preferable than what was suggested as an improvement. A compromise I guess, but without any winners at all. And I doubt anti-discrimination laws are what people were looking forward to.

That there are entanglements among investors is a problem everywhere and not at all intrinsic to the tech industry. A bit more class among investors would be nice, but here it is asking for more class among twitter users. There are some problems with discrimination. But women probably have a far easier time at tech companies than they would have in a surgical ward. If that is still true today that is because you have to look pretty closely to find any occupation that still discriminates on the basis of sex.

Selling consulting is hard... You need a whole sales org and if not, a salesperson personality. This often clashes with the hacker mentality and requires different disciplines. I would say this doesn't sell "easily" like a SaaS would.
Personally, I look for the MVP usage example - something equivalent to a "hello world". If that's provided by the docs, excellent, that's what I read first. Once I understand the gist of things, I can drill down into more specific documentation.

However, a lot of "documentation" is just a list of descriptions for each function in a library (for example). This is great once you're up to speed, but it makes it hard to get an overall impression of how it works and how to use it. In these cases, I tend to find myself reading somebody's blog post for my initial introduction.
You might be getting the string True because in Yaml 1.1 the scalars “y”, “n”, “yes”, “no”, “on”, and “off” (in all their casings) are Boolean literals.

I believe YAML supports non-string keys, so your key would be parsed to the corresponding Boolean value (true), if the pipeline then goes through JSON where only string keys are supported the serialiser could simply stringing the key rather than raise an error, leading to “True”.

And that’s one of the billion reasons why barewords are bad.

I think this has been fixed in Yaml 1.2, but there’s a lot of Yaml 1.1 libraries out there, and they can’t just switch since they could break user code.
Unfortunately I can't find altitude graphs or anything for national airlines 102, so can't really back up my argument with facts, but I'm gonna take a guess and say it wasn't flying like a rocket vertically upwards for 1000 feet. My guess is that it would have stalled very quickly after it nosed up too far and started dropping.

You make a good point about TWA 800 being at cruise speed compared to the cargo flight, and let's assume you're right and it does manage to nose up and keep going for some time: in that case you'd see something go upwards after an explosion, not streak towards it - though eyewitness accounts in times like that have been known to be flakey, so i give up here.

Exactly, and most companies have shown they couldn't care less about keeping talent around. If they did, they would have spent a modicum of effort figuring out exactly why people like software engineers leave, which they don't seem very interested in. I've only ever experienced a single exit interview, and it was too little too late. I'm sure if I had said "low pay, shitty codebase, unreasonable deadlines, moving goalposts, no standards, management gave themselves raises during a layoff" that said feedback would disappear into an unlabeled file folder or a trash can.
The U.K. is certainly not a bad place to end up. Tech wages are higher in Denmark (https://codesubmit.io/blog/software-engineer-salary-by-count...) but you're right: the taxes are also higher. I still strongly disagree with the notion that tech is dead in Denmark. Me and hundreds of colleagues are all very happy with the tech wages in our company. I mean, Denmark is a much smaller country than the U.K., so in an absolute sense, there are certainly more tech opportunities in a country with 10x as many people.

Thank you for writing it. I have been feeling something similar. The ability to truly understand requires the ability to know few terms and what they mean. I thought it was only me who felt it like so. Most of my friends who venture on creative tasks are able to recall a lot of things because of practice and without having to be distracted!

But does it effect the field like programming? When programming, if I can remember the context, then I can easily search it (research paper, books, documentation, forums etc) Now, with Co-Pilot, isn't it effectively beneficial to understand a topic and develop a general problem solving framework for ourselves so that we can let the AI do it's thing?

More seriously though, thanks for the feedback. We're not sure what the best pricing is yet. $10/user/mo is in line with similar products and is a small price to pay for getting rid of unnecessary overhead and management. It might be too high though.
Assuming a good-faith discussion, I tend to ask people "can you tell me why it is important to you that X is true?" (or false, or whatever) these days. Of course I should also be open about why a particular view is important to me in those situations. It seems to be the most effective way maintaining a productive conversation when disagreeing on things, regardless of whether we'll agree in the end.
CI/CD isn’t just about efficiency
Building systems that can scale efficiently requires careful design and implementation. I have seen teams relax the efficiency requirement and manage to handle high load by pre-scaling-up the provisioned capacity of their systems many hours in advance of an anticipated traffic load. This is obviously very wasteful of resources, but also it makes your system brittle, non-resilient. An unanticipated spike in load that stresses the system beyond its provisioned capacity will cause the system to overload and crash/jam-up.

So, rather than testing if your system can handle high load when your system is pre-scaled, testing if your system can continue to provide good throughput even when under heavy load is a better test. Then, if your system is designed to auto-scale in an elastic cloud, testing fast auto-scaling of your systems to see if it increases the good throughput dynamically is a better strategy.

Load testing should be about ascertaining the resiliency, scalability and efficiency characteristics of your system architecture and deployment setup.

Some definitions:

1. A system is said to be resilient if it can sustain the good throughput even when under load excess relative to available system resources.

2. A system is said to be scalable if it can quickly respond to increasing load by scaling up its provisioned resources and scale-up its good throughput.

3. Good throughput is the throughput (request/sec, concurrent user sessions etc) of useful work done with acceptable performance characteristics – ie., latency curve at different percentiles is acceptable.

4. Efficiency of scalability is the ratio of increase in good throughput to increase in provisioned resources.

5. Efficiency in general is the concurrent user sessions or requests/sec per node of the provisioned system.
