There's a section in the article relating the procedure of spraying the pressurized engine with a liquid to check for bubbles. The bubbles indicate leaks. Humans go close to the engine to check for leaks. They can point and call all they want, it is inherently unsafe for them to be there. It is unclear to me how that procedure could be replaced and I won't dismiss it as cowboy attitude.
> pretending you know based on few details in a one-sided article is pretty silly

No. It is not. There is one telling detail in the article. SpaceX was fined by OSHA. That pretty much means in itself that there were things SpaceX shoulf have done which they didn’t.

We can’t and won’t do each our own investigation. Nobody believes that the article has enough details to decide the case on its merrits. But we know that someone professional did the investigation and found the company violated the safety norms. That is what we have these agencies for.

I've seen it work, and I've seen it not work a lot.

The key to getting it to work is to build an environment, a culture, where the product testing and feedback is baked into the process and communicated directly to the engineers and designers doing the work.

It looks a lot like a race team building and operationalizing a new racing platform. The movie ford vs Ferrari captures it well. Pragmatically in what I do (design medical devices and robotics) it looks like regular "labs" where you test your prototype product in real world conditions, gather feedback, and iterate the design based on that feedback. It doesn't work when those functions are siloed. I.E. The lab people run the lab in a vacuum, write up theor findings, send them up through their management then back down through engineering management then to the individual designers. This doesn't work, it's like the game of telephone, the end is never what was initially communicated.

What works is to entrench those two together. The designers doing the work attend and are part of the labs. They know first hand what to do and why. It cuts out the miscommunication and also cuts out 50% of the needless work and meetings.
It's not part of the RFC, but it is part of TOTP as we know it because of conventions that stuck.

Here you have the school closest to you that you have the right to attend, and then you have the option of being on a lottery for schools that a further away. Looking at this[1], it seems like San Francisco is similar, unless I'm misunderstanding something?

One problem is that in some parts of the city, the public schools are so bad that people are trying to move to out of boundary schools or charter schools that are further away. But the main issue there is not giving people functional local schools rather than lack of cycling infrastructure (which is actually somewhat developed here).

But these discrete units in the plasma are also model constructs of ours rather than fundamental properties of nature. The point is that any discrete lines we draw are ours, and not necessarily nature's. Of course we have no concept of object permanence without these, because concepts and objects are discrete models we create ourselves. It's tautological.

I've become pretty skeptical about "Product Management" as a function. I feel like it's one of those ideas that's cargo-culted from Google without anywhere near the same rigor.

A good product person is worth their weight in gold but holy hell there are a lot of charlatans out there. These days I prefer to work at companies without PMs, as an engineer the odds simply don't work in your favor.
For personal use, I'd mostly agree, but without a common identity over those SaaS services the user experience isn't as ideal as it could be. As a simple example, consider how you would share a file between two different identity systems - you can't - you effectively have to use the security by obscurity trick of "whoever has this link can {read|write} this file".

In enterprise use cases where the company pays for the service, you really want to integrate these SaaS services into a common shell and this is the role that Teams plays. You get single sign-on with enterprise credentials, a way to share data with those 3rd party services, and a way for multiple users in your organization to collaborate together with those 3rd party services.

This is the place where Microsoft is currently in a leadership position. Teams is increasingly viewed as being the "cloud OS shell" for enterprise users. Ben has written about this for quite some time - see this earlier piece from 2020: https://stratechery.com/2020/the-slack-social-network/

Yes it is bonkers, indeed!

Yet, it is EXACTLY what Xi repeatedly said in his new-term-inauguration speech

The dictator of China has effectively declared, as publicly as possible, and very specifically, that he intends to invade Taiwan if it does not willingly abandon it's democracy and come under China's rule

He obviously thinks he can get away with doing so without consequences, including those you suggest.

Yet, leaders make such mistakes all the time. Putin just made one on 24-Feb-2022.

It is up to the western world to ensure that Xi sees that such an action would result in bad consequences for him, and deter him from his stated course.

But the fact that it is bonkers is no assurance whatsoever that it won't happen.
I'd say Apples use of dongles are a joke at this point, but perhaps the data suggests the number of base model ipads using a (gen1) pencil are small enough to warrant the dongle crutch.
I just checked, and since a year ago Apple uses pull tabs instead of glue - so the batteries are relatively easily replaceable.

As a side note though - how often do you replace batteries in notebooks? I think the only one time I ever did it was in 2008. I think most of my Macbooks survived over seven years each, and were passed on to my family - the batteries were never an issue - neither for me not for others who got my laptops.
Sounds like they should have planned for the obvious
I think the author is incorrect about no one hating trees, because developers seem to hate trees. The most conspicuous detail in a new development is the absence of trees.

I think trees need a forest. The best place for a tree to grow is under a mature tree of its own species. But even trees of different species help prevent damage to each other from winds and storms. Perhaps instead of trying to plant a new forest, we should be jealously conserving and expanding what forest remains. Harvesting timber by clear-cutting should be illegal, and while the logging industry has adjusted somewhat to conservation, wealthy landowners still do it all the time.

> Technically, everything you do affects end-users - including faster deployments - although in some cases that effect is more obvious than in others.

I agree with this. This is why the dev managers/directors/VPs own the _delivery_ of the business goals for the year. They balance the customer-facing improvements with internal improvements which affect development velocity (deployments, ops, how easy is it for new employees to onboard onto a code base, how easy is it for someone with <2 years experience on a codebase to ship a feature, etc.).

So PMs in collaboration with dev managers own _what_ customer-facing improvements to deliver, and the responsibility of _how_ to deliver and the actual delivery falls on the dev managers.

I'm not proposing this as a new model, I'm saying this is what I've seen been followed in some companies.
So you think what, that these white men who didn't even get recruited are now training China with their non-existant RAF expertise that they didn't get because they weren't recruited?
Product developer (or Product Engineer since we use the word engineer everywhere). Compare team A = {software engineer, product engineer, design engineer, qa engineer}, and team B = { software engineer, product manager, design engineer, qa engineer }. Team A screams "all team members collaborate the same way when it comes to build a product". Team B screams "there is 1 manager, and the rest are not"

Actually I have to add caveats to that. It looks like you could tell the OS not to swap your RAM using mlock/mlockall, but with significant caveats around overcommit that are a little over my head but which I suspect would be painful for a modern web browser to try and operate with.
I completely agree. This poll is non-sensical since "the media" is an indirect reference. The question is more about what the indirect reference points to rather than about the state of our information apparatus itself.

A much better poll would be about trust in explicit news sources, which would lead to the obvious conclusion that everyone trusts the sources of news they subscribe to, those sources create a particular reality, and that sources that paint pictures of different realities aren't trust-able.

>But before jumping out of your chair, consider that when these mice were exposed to the original Wuhan coronavirus that 100% of them died.

Well that is very different to the first news I saw about this. Tim Pool reported that in the first test no mice died. I guess I have to be more careful about what I listen to.
Its a problem with the 24/hr newscycle. Back in the day you would hear the news at 6 on your television, or on your radio. Now, due to the constant need for content, news has gotten more extreme. Fox and CNN need something constantly on their channels, news sites need constant content on their websites, etc. The news at 6 is no longer a thing, and that fact feels like it has hurt just about everything

DDG isn't doing uBO level ad blocking like Brave does. It's just blocking common tracking domains and elements, so you don't get (much) cosmetic filtering and some ads will still show up. My local newspaper's site has grey boxes where the ads would be without content or DNS blocking. On YouTube, it can't block the ads unless you open in the "Duck Player" (a page where it embeds the video). It also doesn't support extensions.

That said, it has a cleaner interface than Brave, and it has that fire button from DDG Mobile that deletes everything except for cookies on sites you "fireproof". It's a really nice compromise between "save everything until you delete everything" and "incognito mode" that I wish other browsers would adopt. Plus it uses WebKit so theoretically it should be fast and battery efficient like Safari.

In my opinion there isn't much reason to use DDG Browser unless you really like the fire button. If you want a WebKit browser, Safari with the AdGuard extension blocks ads and trackers, has extensions including more password manager options, and has its own email relay feature. Otherwise Firefox and Brave are excellent and cross-platform.
They're similar in that they're both beyond the pale.

The C++ IDEs available up until about 10 years ago were complete garbage. C++ still doesn't even have a good package manager. All the build systems are pure chaos. The largest C++ package manager has 1500 packages. In comparison, rust's package manager and build system are way easier to use and already have 94,000 packages available to users.

That's not exactly fair to C++ because entire categories of dev tools (like build systems, package managers, IDEs, debuggers, version control, static analyzers, etc.) have matured after C++ did. And let's not forget that when C++ was new, most libraries were proprietary licensed and paid for, whereas today almost all libs are open source. And those improvements (along with general size of the programming community) mean that a trendy language today is going to develop and mature a lot faster than a formerly trendy language did 30 years ago.

IMO Rust in 2022 is a lot closer to java in 2005 than C++ in the 1990s.
It really depends on where you live in the US. When I moved from Los Angeles to the Atlanta suburbs my daughter rode her bike to elementary school like she always had. The school principal called and told me it wasn't allowed. I offered to ride with her since I work from home and it wouldn't be a problem but she wouldn't budge. I offered to fund raise for bike racks, setup bike trains, and give safety courses. I tried for years and years, through three kids, and never got permission. My kids are all grown now except my oldest who does indeed ride an e-bike to high school.

One of the stated motivations for Nord Stream 2 was to improve reliability of gas to Europe in case Russia decided to cut off the gas because of a spat with one of the transit countries.

The elephant in the room for me is that it’s only the existence of “product organizations” that create the problems described here.

You want to make software? Fine, come be part of the team with me. We’ll work together and make great things happen. Don’t fool yourself that things will be better if you just tell me what to do.
I was originally responding to your comment that: 'The security agreements they signed are sufficient to guard national secrets.'

High ranking officers can just as much buy plane tickets as anyone else. Yes, including to countries that may not have entirely harmless intentions.

Signatures on a piece of paper are not the final arbiter of disputes between countries, as demonstrated by the previous administration.
Even if they were, not everyone can be trusted 100% just because they made promises to that effect, actions speak louder than words after all.
It absolutely does not. Taiwan was never under any sort of agreement, and the USA has always been ambiguous about its policy towards Taiwan.

This is completely different from the mutual defense agreement that Japan has with the USA, where it has been made very clear that the USA will protect Japan.

I understand you want to have a critical opinion, but you need to look at the facts.

I think GIL is not the reason for slowness, it just specifies single threaded interpreter execution model. You can always spin up more interpreters to take advantage of multiple cores.

The reason for slowness - is the weak dynamic type system of Python.

Every single instruction need to be type checked at runtime and thus making everything slow.

Compare to C#/Java which have GC but both are amazingly fast, because these languages have stricter type system. If you add JIT on top (which can selectively replace MSIL/java opcodes with native machine instructions) and it makes perf on par with natively compiled languages like C++.

I think the straw that broke the camel's back was the city's demand that they relocate the electrical panels. This means that all the interior wiring in the house now has to run to the new panel location - a huge expense. I'm not sure why they couldn't just move only the meters to be more accessible to the power company & firefighters[1] and then run a longer service cable from there to the original panels. That would be much cheaper.

I plan to add a charger to my rental property, either when my current tenant buys an EV or when they move out (to avoid disrupting them). The home is fairly new and was built with 200 amp service so I don't anticipate any permit problems. The idea is to differentiate my property in the marketplace and justify a higher rent.

What I don't want is a tenant running a homemade 240v cable to the outlet for the electric clothes dryer and manually plugging/unplugging back & forth. That's unsafe.

[1] The fire department will pull the meter when they arrive and start fighting a fire, so they aren't spraying water on live circuits.

It's SpaceX, sister company of Tesla. They can have a small bot that goes around spraying and many cameras and other sensors observing. And given they're looking for potentially very small leaks from a pressurized system you wouldn't want a person physically present when the leak is discovered at high pressure anyways, not unless you want to see the effect of a very narrow high pressure stream hitting human skin (or a fast moving piece of hardware hitting their skull).
