This doesn’t actually hold up to reality because 737 variants are not interchangeable. Gauges may be in the same place but have a different appearance. There have been accidents directly caused by differences between variants. (Shutting down the wrong engine because the air conditioning now used bleed air from both engines, not just the right one.)

My understanding is difference training is required to certify a pilot for a specific variant.
Oh right. I was writing spaghetti PHP in those days so never had use for a terminal, so I guess that is required context.
They are human size research (and now clinical, albeit limited so far) magnets, so big enough, think about 60cm. It's an elbow rubbing environment, but sufficient for even somewhat large adults. The animals magnets are super tiny, of course.

It's probably from the "rap on the door" sense, carrying the metaphor of visiting someone to talk. "Calling" on someone is a (somewhat anachronistic) similar idea.

I'm pretty sure it's jazz talk, so I'd look at urban black culture of the early 20c.

Could have ended up being knock music or call music?

edit: your "rap" is (usually) how you talk to women, and going "calling" was once the same sort of euphemism.
Do you have any legal cases where this occurred?

While it is technologically possible, I have never heard of a case of this actually happening.

Microsoft Edge just created a logged-in profile on my machine for the second time. I'm not even sure how - maybe it's because I logged into Bing to play with their chat? I'm on a Windows 10 Local account and this is getting old.

EDIT, think I finally found out the option under Profile Preferences:

"Automatic sign in on Microsoft Edge

If you're not signed in currently on Microsoft Edge, we'll automatically sign you in by using your sign in info from other Microsoft sites like Outlook."
The law has a call out that software development costs are all R&D now. So yes according to my understanding (as one of the signers) and those who have written about this as well.
This is pretty depressing. I'm pretty involved in the ricing side of the Windows ecosystem[1] and there is a lot of work going on in this space to allow users to get rid of the start bar entirely and replace it with something more functional.

NIMBY Housing Disputes Are the New Climate Denialism
This is a very bizarre article.

The opening starts off stating that neural networks may "wake up", and never goes on to explain what that means. The concerns in here have been around for decades, and really don't sound like anything new: runaway development, the technology now is more advanced than we've ever seen, ect.

Then the post leaps from these points, does not bother proving them, accepts them as fact, and launches into a series of progressively more alarmist "what ifs". I don't see anything of substance here, and the authors very confident predictions have been made countless times before. It's important if you're going to write something that ends in prescriptive action points, that you try and convince of of _why_ you believe this to be true. Just the author's confidence is insufficient for the leaps this article takes.

The whole thing reads like a Cybernetic Cultural Research Unit story from the 90's.

With the (later realised) fact that this _is_ from the 90's, I think we should classify this along with contemporary works (like the above CCRU stuff).

A key problem with high-res MRI in a living organism is the scan time. Even fast acquisition techniques like EPI require around 50 milliseconds per slice. But if you want good resolution and contrast you're doing a spin echo which takes quite a bit longer. At some point you run into motion blur caused by the mere involuntary contraction of blood vessels, and that's before you consider the difficulty with patient compliance to the directive: "hold still".

I thought it was hype a while ago but I tried it and I am a believer.
You are obviously having enormous difficulty attracting good ops and infra programmers, but that's mostly going to be due to the obvious lack of respect and probably abysmal pay you are offering.

I would run away from an interview at a company you work for as fast as I possibly could just based on what you've said so far. And if I worked for you I'd quit.

Case in point, you seem completely incapable of understanding how your own lack of expertise and awful pay has driven all the experienced infra people to work for cloud vendors where they can get paid what they deserve and not have to grovel before a bunch of shitty javascript devs or equivalent.

Orgs like yours are trying to hire infra people the way you would hire a web developer. That isn't viable now and has never been viable. Infra roles are (or at least should be for any functional organization) more senior than product roles.

IANA accountant but this seems...fine? The point of writing software is typically to get some benefit from it in future years, just as GM expects to get more than one year's use out of a lathe or a sheet metal press. Of course they won't be able to cover the entire expense of buying the lathe entirely out of revenue they receive in the same tax year that they buy it. Why should they expect to be able to do the same for software?

Many people use the wrong tool. I don't disagree with that, but also I think you misinterpreted "level up".

> But it uses the same logic as a lot of advertising: that you'll be missing out if you don't watch/buy something very soon.

Sure, but this is hardly a valid excuse. Ads are very easy to ignore, more so clothing ads. Everyone sees multiple advertisements every day for things they don't even consider buying.

It's not like clothes are usually expensive; you can get good clothes for a reasonable price. What I don't fully understand is if this is just people that normally use credit cards switching to BNPL...if so, then there's likely no cause for alarm.

Any way, coming from a country where virtually no one uses credit cards, taking on debt to buy clothes is very strange.

This is also a problem where the algorithmically fastest solutions are also pretty much guaranteed to be faster, since they are equally cache-friendly and will almost always work out to fewer instructions.

That is not always the case, but this is one of the times when it is.
Once a machine takes your job basically you have 0 recourse. Going back to school costs 100k+, going back for an MS costs roughly 1 million with 6-8 years of school. Even without AI the way we charge our people for healthcare and education is upending everything. In the US your human rights are tied to employment, once you lose your job you have no more rights because without money you are basically paralyzed.

Speed is a non existent problem for linters. Pyflake is quick enough. I spend more time thinking than writing code. I just write in one file at a time, which can be linted in sub-second time.

How does it compare with Pyflake8 in error messages? Does it find more errors? Does it have less false positives? Does it integrate well with other developers tools? Does it have sane defaults?

These are the really important questions that aren't answered in the site.

> but housing and food was kept artificially low for decades due to use of migrant labor.

Food maybe, but housing? It has been rising since the last huge housing bust in the 90s, with only a blip downturn after 2008. Migrant labor is great because they want to do those jobs at all, and it isn't really about wages, poorer Americans just seem to be content to complain about immigrants while watching FoxNews with no ambition to do those jobs, richer Americans are the ones employing those migrants in the construction and agriculture (as well as Trump-style hospitality) industries while at the same time using illegal immigration as a wedge issue.

Not the person you asked, but I run Kubuntu with an RTX 4080 and a 4K 144hz display and every single thing works out of the box. Not every game I want to play works with Proton, but close. Gaming performance vs Windows has been indistinguishable, and it boots up much faster. My Windows drive sits at a half-loaded desktop with no icons for like a minute... No idea why.

Dual monitors will work well if they're similar, but I wouldn't mix hi-dpi with low-dpi or different refresh rates. I've heard most of that doesn't work or is poorly supported.

I wonder how many companies will be doing more bugfixes now...

For example, the initial product generates "hello world".

What it was supposed to do was control a robot to automatically do pick and place.

It's Definitely a bug that the program failed to work, it's even tracked as a defect in the issue management. No R&D involved just fixing a pretty severe software bug, namely that the product does not work.

Highly skilled professionals in some fields (engineers, scientists, software developers, very senior managers etc) can often find a job with only English. These people are more likely to send their children to a foreign-language school, even if they have to pay for it, as they might not plan on staying forever.

Not knowing/learning the language also works for some jobs like cleaning or agriculture, if so many workers are migrants that everyone speaks Romanian or English etc. Also postgraduate students.

Plenty of people from the north who move south when they retire (e.g. Netherlands to Spain, Germany to Greece) move before learning the language.

How quickly people learn the local language depends. Slowly in Denmark or the Netherlands where English is almost universal and work is often done in English, quickly in France or Italy where the opposite applies. Slowly if you're 65 and surrounded by other Dutch pensioners.

From what I know of France, a child from the other side of France can also be excluded, but this is from French emigrants teasing each other. I haven't heard of similar problems in Denmark.

Growing up in London I didn't even notice the European immigrants in my class and could hardly exclude the 40% of the class who were descendents of South Asian immigrants, but this varies significantly around the country.

I expect compared to the USA there's much more reluctance to move when a child is 14-18 years old, unless they can be certain of a place in the French school in Copenhagen etc. But this is primarily because of the difference in exams and language.

The problem is that if you don't know what is required to write fast code you won't design your program to be performant from the start. Lots of applications can be sped up dramatically by rearchitecting them, but you're not going to hit on the right architecture without thinking really hard about memory layout, data access, network usage, etc.

It's not really true that 80% of the code doesn't matter. 80% of the code might not matter the way it is currently designed, but that doesn't mean a different design isn't dramatically better. Benchmarking and profiling doesn't help with that. Real expertise is required and that is developed over time by people who care about improving performance and make it a priority.
Yes, but not everyone is a full-time worker, so that’s not a correction to a claim about the median income of all Americans.
It's not just "custom" plugins, it's all third-party plugins though right? If someone wants to publish a new linter for something, right now they can, and others can use it easily, but Ruff centralises that and makes it harder.

You're right that it will probably still be faster overall because "most" linting will be done with Ruff and any extras would be done externally, but now you've either got 2 tools when you had 1 before, or you've got to shell out to Python which adds overhead, or you've got to rewrite plugins in a Ruff-compatible format, or something else.

> Kinda just sounds like you're grousing because somebody moved the cheese.

I'm just disappointed that someone looked at slow linting and decided the answer was their own new tool, rather than participating in the existing community. Now the effort has forked, it'll take more work overall in the community, and we were already lacking engineering resource.
I agree and would ask: is linting that much of a bottleneck to development?

Having an automated lint run upon opening a PR seems like a minor expense, especially when you can work on other tickets while you wait.
The article does contain good details:

With just one blue cotton dress to her name she pedalled around the countryside selling soap to mostly German soldiers, crossing fields on foot to where she had hidden another bicycle. The Gestapo and SS were everywhere. And to add to the confusion and danger a double agent was working in the area. The SOE operative was friendly and talkative whenever she met German soldiers – "I'd talk so much about anything and everything, trying to be 'helpful' and they'd get sick of me" - and was constantly moving through the countryside where she was transmitting the information so urgently needed by the Allied Command.

"I always carried knitting because my codes were on a piece of silk – I had about 2000 I could use. When I used a code I would just pinprick it to indicate it had gone. I wrapped the piece of silk around a knitting needle and put it in a flat shoe lace which I used to tie my hair up."

Once she was loaded into a truck along with other locals and taken to the police station for questioning. "I can remember being taken to the station and a female soldier made us take our clothes off to see if we were hiding anything. She was looking suspiciously at my hair so I just pulled my lace off and shook my head. That seemed to satisfy her. I tied my hair back up with the lace- it was a nerve-wracking moment."
