The Boeing 787 had problems with the aircraft's own lithium batteries going into thermal runaway and catching fire.[1] Fortunately, on the ground at an airport. When it happened a second time, all 787s were grounded for months.

I suspect that once there's a better battery technology, maybe lighter lithium-iron-phosphate or a noncombustible solid battery, the current lithium ion technology will be prohibited on aircraft.

> it can still contradict itself

Do humans not quite often contradict themselves?
Jet liners do not need to descend to feed ambient air into the plane. Cabin pressurization is done by feeding compressed air from the engine to air conditioner and then to cabin. So in theory yes, this is possible.

However in case of fire, actively feeding fresh air may make things worse by providing more oxygen to burn.

Archeologists classifying every object they can’t explain the purpose of as a cult/religious/ritualistic item is a bit of cliche. I wonder what future archeologists might think about some of the stuff we have in a couple of thousand years if some societal collapse occurs in between.

It’s possible they could have also used it to hold candles outside of religious ceremonies.
I can speak to this. In one life I am a part time military officer with 5 deployments to the Middle East. At the exact same time I am a corporate software developer for my primary career. The greatest difference between these worlds is:

Leadership

Ownership is certainly a primary part of that, but there is more to this than what most people from the corporate world can envision unless if you have been at a director level (or higher) in a company that is more than a start up.

Ownership directly implies liability. If you fail wrongly this can mean losing your job, permanently losing your career, losing personal money, or even going to prison depending upon the context. Many professions have that, but software does not. In fact software directly stresses the opposite of this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35889282

Leadership means to own risks and liability, but it also means owning the welfare of the people that work for you. Another primary part of leadership, equivalent to ownership, is communication. Good communication comprises the ability to provide specific instructions to subordinates so that they never must ask for clarity, as though you are using empathy to read their minds. Simultaneously it also means the ability to persuade peers and superiors to change position on an opinion beneficial to your team/mission. If you are good at this it will appear almost invisible to your staff and exceedingly self-sacrificing to your superiors.
The irony is that you’ll have better luck finding quality 3rd party replacements for popular, widely sold “non-repairable” models (Sony, Bose, etc) than boutique “repairable” cans.

The answer, is, do not.

Dishonesty in this case is simple; its fraud, everyone knows how to deal with fraud even big business.

This is just propaganda meant to get people back to the office, poorly veiled propaganda at that.

If the person signed conflicting agreements and violated those agreements; its pretty clear what the lawyers will say to do. It will be one of those moments that seems like out of a sitcom, with a joke waiting but the response is more serious... "this is what we are going to do, you are lucky that is all we are going to do".

If the work gets done and you aren't in violation of agreements there is nothing wrong with working multiple jobs especially when as a CEO of a larger company you've participated in suppressing worker wages.
Funny, I thought I was the only one anecdotically correlating early birds with opposing full remote employment.
Airliners are always cycling in fresh air, no matter the altitude.
Not everyone wants to go jogging or working out with wired headphones. They always rub on your skin or on your clothes (especially in winter with may thick layers) with the rubbing sound transferring in your ears as you move around, or worse, snag on something and keep tugging down on my head giving me a bad neck posture (when the cable is routed under my shirt/jaket).

The freedom of TWS earbuds can spoil you for life.

Why don't we make TWS manufacturers to build their shit with replaceable cells? Most have normal Varta lithium cells inside. Surely they can make them replaceable the same way they are on the AirTags? They would be a bit bulkier and have less water resistance but I don't go swimming with them and as long as there's no cables I'm happy to tolerate a bulkier size.
I designed most of, and built a chunk of, the WAF and firewall stuff at Cloudflare. That includes wirefilter (a wireshark display filter inspired firewall), and coupled with Cloudflare using maxmind you get to block ASNs in addition to other characteristics of the request.

I don't think "bugs are shallow", or the "many eyeballs" section of this essay, are particularly talking about _discovering_ bugs.

The author seems to have had a worldview in which bugs don't really matter if people aren't coming across them, and in which the difficult part of dealing with a bug is either reproducing it or getting from a symptom to a cause.

If you were in a world where those two things are true then I think he's probably right that "many eyeballs" would help a great deal.
… or what happens when you give massive amounts of meth to academic pomo philosophy majors…

There were some interesting ideas in there in the beginning, albeit not as original as some thought. A lot of that stuff just goes back to cybernetics, psychedelia, and occultism. But then the CCRU turned a bit culty and some of them including Land lost their minds.

The Land went full fascist. There seems to be a connection between fascism and heavy stimulant abuse, like fascism is the politics of meth.

That association goes way back too. There’s a book called Blitzed about how the Nazis were using meth. Seems to check out since starting a war on two huge fronts is a total meth move.

U.S. Universities Are Building a New Semiconductor Workforce
In social justice (a key component of how open source projects operate today) we have this concept of "doing the work", which is as much about humbling and decentering yourself and recognizing that there is a community of others involved whom your efforts must support, as it is about putting in the actual effort.

Eric S. Raymond likes to contribute to open source projects in the form of fully realized, thoroughly architected megapatches that totally upend all the assumptions about how a system/subsystem works and behaves, along with a long lecture about why his patch should be accepted which boils down to "I'm ESR, I know how this bit should be designed much better than you, so there". That is the exact opposite of doing the work. Doing the work involves empathy and respect for the needs and experiences of others.

If you want Asahi Linux to support Xorg, you have three choices:

* Accept things as is.

* Fork the project.

* "Do the work". Convince the Asahi maintainers, in terms they are likely to appreciate, why Xorg inclusion is a good idea and who will be assuming the maintenance burden with little to no effort on their part. Then try to merge your patches.
And "considered harmful" was popularized by the Dijkstra’s article "GOTO Statement Considered Harmful".

Interesting. I have the original first gen WH-1000XM1s from 2006 and keep wanting to upgrade them to get the more advance NC and USB-C but they haven't broken down yet and they have no issues whatsoever, even the battery lasts long enough, while the modern ones seem plagued with various issues so I'm hesitant to upgrade.
My main gripe with Discord is the somewhat ephemeral nature of it, due to the search being horrible, as well as not publicly indexed nor easily accessible without an account + an invite to a specific server.
I find "README Driven Development" helps with creating motivation for side projects. You create a nicely formatted README which describes how to use the end product, and then take it from there.

It also has the effect of keeping the design simple, since it has to be easy to explain in a README.
That map looks exactly what I would expect it to look like if it was passed on from master to apprentice metalworker as part of a graduating project.

These wouldn't have been products sold to customers and traded, they would have been symbols that the individuals had achieved mastery within a specific lineage of artisans restricted to that region. Almost all knowledge was communicated via oral means because scribes were very expensive and most people were illiterate - there's zero reason to expect a wide distribution throughout the empire.
Bravo.

I really wish I’d been around at this time of the net finding its feet.

The 90’s kind of feel like the glory days in retrospect to me, but I get how I was one of the Eternal September arrivals for a whole bunch of people that felt that was the end of the heyday.

Reading through the thread it’s a real shame to see the decline in our ability (willingness?) to have civil and thoughtful discourse. I honestly might just spend the evening crawling through 30+ year old usenet threads just to see what conversations people were having casually back then.

It's not interesting to say that lots of interesting eyeballs are helpful. Anybody would have said that prior to this article's publication. Raymond makes a much stronger claim (which is why it has the force of "law"), and it hasn't borne out.
I agreed with you that sbcl has usable performance (like c and fortran compilers). I disagreed that its performance is state of the art or particularly commendable.

Are allegro and lispworks appreciably better? My understanding was that lispworks, at least, forked from cmucl a long time ago and put less work into python than sbcl did.
How is someone working two jobs cheating _either_ company?

More specifically why do we consider some jobs as being "greater than one job is mandatory" (because being able to afford food and rent is important) but for other jobs it is not?

If a company thinks the only thing that is important is that you are "working" 40 hours a week, and that they'll force you in the office to ensure that. They don't care about what you do in that office, and they don't care about getting your job done: the hours you're at your desk is more important than anything else.

All of that indicates incompetent management, and terrible task distribution.

At the same time as an employee of such a company I would take such messaging as being an explicit "working harder or longer than your coworkers it will not be rewarded", because again the message is "time at desk is the important thing not what you do or accomplish".
But "repairable" and "upgradable" are not synonyms. I don't mind that my phone isn't upgradable, but I'd like to be able to easily change the battery when it dies of old age.

Planned obsolescence can be a good thing. Cans from the fifties and sixties still work. Nobody wants to use them; they are heavy, uncomfortable, have poor performance, need an amp to drive, and use huge old school connectors. They are from a time when music was enjoyed seated in one place.

Products that fail prematurely or wear out while the owner still wants them are poorly designed. The pinnacle of design is a product that works flawlessly until the day you are through with it, at which point every part fails simultaneously. Such a product wasted no excess material in being over-engineered, nor consumed exotic high performance materials when they were unwarranted, nor repair visits, nor extra fuel in transport.
> I am unsure whether a jet liner can descend to a breathable altitude (say, 10000 feet) and feed "fresh", or ambient, air into the plane. That seems like a nice redundancy to have and I wonder how realistic it would be to implement ...

This is already in place, and has been since planes began going high enough to require pressurized cabins. The engines basically suck in lots of air which is compressed, resulting in a higher temperature. Most of this goes into the combustion, but some of it goes into other applications, such as the environmental systems supplying the cabin with air.

It doesn't have the same effect as opening all the windows in a car, but considering the outside temperature[1] that might not be such a bad thing.

DomainOS was an interesting, GUI-based alternative to Unix running on networked 68k-based systems (there was also a PRISM RISC-based DN10000 later) in the early 80s. Like so many other companies (TI's computer division, Convex, DEC via Compaq), hp took over and killed Apollo in the early '90s.

I second this. After trying with many different kinds, it's just too big a hassle. Clips at strategic places can help, yet only work so long. Eventually something will snag and the headphones will break. Separate, wireless buds are significantly more comfortable.

It's amazing to me that people who work closely with software are happy to introduce a software powered single point of failure in their ability to function.
The 8080 has 7 registers and a single addressing mode for accumulator-based instructions (which is most of them), therefore base-8 organization is pretty natural. Likewise for 8086 which has 8 registers and 8 ways to use registers to form an addressing mode (with absolute addressing and three different displacement modes, there would be 8*3+1=25, but they sacrificed [BP] to fit everything in MOD={00,01,10}). Of course one wonders if the choice of 8 registers and 8 addressing mode was due to some kind of fixation with base 8, or vice versa.

Compared to the 6809, the 6502 or the 68000, the biggest reminiscence of the Z80 is the difference between AX/CX/DX/BX having 8-bit parts and SI/DI/SP/BP not having them. Though the low/high parts of IX and IY were accessible on the Z80 via undocumented opcodes (maybe even SP? I don't remember).
A lot of cheap gadgets from a certain large Asian country of dubious quality. E.g. a portable battery obtained from Amazon. It will be a no-name brand and may or may not meet the certifications it actually has printed on its label.

Many IEM earpieces can be disconnected from the cable, so you can switch out between a wired connection and a bluetooth adapter (or replace/repair those as needed, while keeping the drivers). I don't use bluetooth headphones, but it seems like an okay compromise.

I will say that going direct isn't without problems, though. I can't tell you how many adapters and dongles I've lost. At this point it feels like a wash with how much ends up in a landfill. I'd love for everything to support 3.5mm but that's not the world we live in.
> Human language always drifts in terms of word definition.

While that is true of general day-to-day speech or vernacular (vocal), that fails with regards to anything that is reasonably technical, or written, and making a comparison between the two overgeneralizes and is apples to oranges. Both are flawed ways of thought.

If you've ever tried to communicate the structure of a binary tree, abstract syntax, what makes up determinism, syntactical vs lexical parsing, systems properties, or anything else that is highly technical there are specific technical words which are used fundamentally to describe the structure, or behavior, and these meanings do not vary.

They have specific meaning to describe specific things. Communication is the sharing of meaning, and its receiver based. If the receiver has no words to describe it, or the words used have so many possible meanings; they won't understand. Its the all is nothing. There is a signal or there isn't.

If you corrupt language and communication calling something its not, and doing so in a way that can cause loss under any circumstance on someone else, you then are arguably so much worse than a liar, engaging in crazy making behavior, and definitely lack credibility. This is true even if you do not intend this which is why one must be careful in what they say and not bandy words (and their meanings) about irresponsibly.

To be clear, that includes the loss of time and confusion resulting from misleading others. There's enough deceit in the world without adding to the noise or legitimizing corrupt acts.

Corruption of language has no place in civil and rational conversation.
