- Amazon employees that were going into an office pre-pandemic switched to virtual when the company asked.

- Amazon employees stay productive, company makes the most it ever has due to the pandemic.

- Amazon fumbles for 1.5 years, doesn’t clearly communicate the desire to have everyone working in Seattle/hubs again, continues hiring remote talent.

- Most employees get frustrated at the fact that Amazon has complete control of the contract. Amazon says “you must work here” and there’s 0 room to negotiate.

Now I get it, we’re US workers with little workers rights and we get paid good money. So, to people like you, we should suck it up and just deal with it! Quit being so entitled!

Sure.

Where’s the empathy for our fellow humans that are being forced to move across the country with their family because they took a job that promised them one thing, and is now taking that away?
As shown in the article, when the pitot readings were incorrect and the initial 3 second stall warning was displayed, a veteran pilot would simply have had to let the plane continue on in normal law mode, without any action. But Bonin was too overreliant on the incorrect action from the autopilot (moving to alternate law), which itself was an incorrect result from the incorrect readings of the Pitot tubes.

Pitot tube icing is one of those issues where automation becomes useless entirely.
> Whenever we restore a wetlands, the area goes from “surprisingly low amounts of mosquitoes most of the time” back to “fuck I can’t go outside”

You haven't restored biodiversity; you've simply flooded an area. You need to wait for all the animals to return and propagate.

> without more intensive control methods, which sometimes end up being pesticides

Yep, that'd be the opposite of intelligent solution.
But if you are in a stall at 35k feet, there is never a situation in which the corrective action is to pull up, especially not to max AoA. You aren't anywhere near the water, you should be trying to gain speed.

Bonin just went to primal instincts, full fight or flight, and was "taking matters into his own hands" even despite the fact that he was aware he wasn't doing anything useful. The other pilot even told him to stop, but he didn't. He wasn't a copilot in this scenario, but rather a direct adversary to recovery of the plane.

He should have been treated as a rogue pilot the second he started panicking, but the other guy was kinda busy. He was not acting rationally in any way. Had he dropped dead from a heart attack, AF447 would be an interesting anecdote instead of a tragedy.

How do you train pilots for: "In very rare cases, especially during a crisis, you may need to physically harm your coworker to prevent them from causing the death of hundreds of people, but definitely don't do it if you're the one causing the problem, which you will never figure out if you ARE the one causing the problem"

Its a terminal program, most people don't know how to deal with those when starting out.

The beginning screen of vim tells you how to exit.

If you do C-c, as normally is the case with TUI programs, Vim also tells you how to leave.

The "I don't know how to exit Vim" is a bit overplayed.
X has pretty good documentation, which includes a list of SDKs to work with their API. There are a couple that X produced and several more from the community.

https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/tools-and-...

I wrote and maintained one of the community libraries for years. However, I'm in a holding pattern, waiting to see what will happen in the future. The API has a free level, but it's only useful in limited scenarios. To actually accomplish what you're trying to do would require a paid subscription. You'll need to match your requirements to their pricing to see if the economics work out.

My initial dilemma with continuing working on my open-source project was whether it was worth it to pay the subscription to maintain an open-source project that I'm providing for free. Also, if hobbyists are priced out, I'm not sure how I feel about providing an open-source project for corporations that can afford the API fees while using my library for free.

Such a complex topic.

Satellites larger than cubesats usually use rad-hardened processors, e.g. in Europe the LEON processors are quite common. These are basically rad-hardened SPARC v8 processors. They are also clocked quite low since they are often implemented using a FPGA.

So, a rather old RISC architecture, lacking any cryptography extensions/intrinsics, running at a rather low clock frequency means that it is not that easy to fit authentication and cryptography in software (at least at the necessary rates).

To get authentication/encryption in these systems you need a separate crypto unit or implement AES-GCM/AES-HMAC in FPGA (if you have room).

>> the macro situation at Amazon is a mess

It has been that way for a long time.

Amazon is frugal . . . especially when it comes to quality of life for employees and their families.

It shows in how many employees have worked there for more than five years and how happy most employees are.

Stocks going down since prices aren't skyrocketing anymore.

New- and used-car prices are up about 29% from the end of 2019, before the pandemic hindered production and reduced the supply of vehicles.

The prices for new and used cars are going down, if slowly. In July, prices fell 0.2% year over year, the third such decline in the past seven months.

I wish MLB would take some notes one what a good streaming service looks like.

If you want to watch all the baseball games you need an MLB.tv subscription, a premium cable subscription, a Peacock subscription, a regional sports network subscription (it’s Bally Sports where I am), and an Apple TV subscription. Please give me an everything tier in MLB.tv! I’ll gladly pay more.

On top of that MLB.tv is brutal to watch because they have a lot of ad spots and only a few advertisers so you see the same ads over-and-over-and-over again.

Virtue-signalling and wasting people's times does not contribute to funding either. I'd disagree with but understand actual ads, or promotions for Pocket/VPN/etc... but wasting users' time on virtue-signalling or "Colorways"?

The article misses the key takeaway from this incident IMHO.

When the controls were pegged at full aft deflection, the stall warning would cease, because instrument readings in the deep stall were considered invalid by the computer. Whenever the pilot would start to push forward to recover, the computer stopped rejecting the readings, and started sounding the stall warning again!

So every time the pilot started to do the right thing, the airplane would start screaming "STALL STALL" at him, and he would pull the stick back again to make it stop.

I firmly believe that they would still be alive if the stall warning had either not been installed at all, or had functioned properly.

We take full responsibility for the infrastructure choices that led to this outage. As the peer comment said, it's helpful to overshare in these situations.

We know developers don't actually care who's at fault and will move off of Render if we're down, period. Even before the incident, we'd started working on a project to eliminate the SPOF with Cloudflare, and now it's only a matter of time before we ship it.
Not humans, but farming practices and human diets. We have to reform agriculture to stop and reverse biodiversity loss.

Deforestation and farming practices (incl. pesticides/herbicides, pollution) are the main drivers of biodiversity loss.

> The entire point of caches was because we couldn't afford to just make everything SRAM.

Because SRAM is expensive compared to DRAM. SRAM requires four transistors per bit, but DRAM requires just one. And that one transistor doubles as your capacitor. In addition, routing makes a single SRAM cell a bit bigger than four DRAM ones (at the same process node). So, DRAM can be packed to densities that are not feasible for SRAM. There's a reason AMD (and others) is/are starting to put cache on an entirely separate die (X3D).
I think you're right to be concerned. I coasted through secondary school with a 4.0..and when I reached undergrad I didn't have the tools to apply myself. I wasn't a big fish in a small pond anymore, I was near the bottom of the heap. first year I did ok, but by the end of the second I was irrecoverably lost.

my advice is to figure out what you want to get out of it. sure, maybe you need a degree, but that's a really big space. most of it seems like a pointless sysiphysian exercise. but there are some really great teachers and peers in there, and a lifelong passion if you can find it.
I never said that the issues are unique to the Flatpak. I said if they are, then you shouldn't blame Zoom.

The reason why I commented in the first place is because you explicitly mentioned the Flatpak of the Zoom client which stood out to me.

It is my understanding that Flatpak sandboxes apps [1], which could cause various issues if the app is not expecting to be run inside one or of the permissions are misconfigured.

But it certainly doesn't have to. Of course the app itself can be buggy. My point is that an official release should be checked before reporting bugs.

> in fact computers don't work very well and users encounter errors on a regular basis. Using computers is a skill. It takes study.

I think what's been lost -- or perhaps never been gained -- is an art of dual tiering error condition messaging.

Highest visibility messaging should be the simple & for the most general audience: "You Gave us Bad Information, here's how to fix it" for cases where that applies, with more information available for training users if they want it.

When it's an application or systems failure: "Something went wrong on our end, not your fault" should be the high visibility message. Then maybe "here's a request ID, you can contact this support channel about it if the problem persists". Then somewhere low visibility "here's some detail about what's going on under the hood if you want to look."

This is part of a general sin in product / UX as far as I can tell: the "don't make me think" mantra became something itself people stopped thinking about and transformed effectively into "don't LET me think."
I wonder why this argument is not publicized more.
The plane in this case doesn't matter. No training for stalls ever tells you to pull up. It's directly opposed to how stalls ARE trained. This pilot was a chaos monkey, and the other pilots were unable or unwilling to get the chaos monkey out of the situation. He had completely reverted to human instinct, which is terrible for flying, and also was letting himself override his copilot, who was handling the situation much better.

People act like this situation wouldn't have happened had they had boeing style connected controls, but it's pretty likely that in this state, Bonin would have actively been wrestling with the controls to point the nose up in that state too. The only way to keep Bonin from killing everyone would have been to restrain him. There is no reliable way to "knock" someone out of that kind of panic state.
They send you a one-time code.
>It's tempting to blame the inexperienced first officers, their training, or the CRM failures on this flight, but the blame for this crash has to land squarely on the atrociously bad UX of the Airbus cockpit.

Hard disagree. No matter how bad the UX, there just isn't any conceivable situation where Bonin's pulling up the rudder for minutes on end wasn't suicidally dangerous, or made any sense at all.
Perhaps one way to think about it is to imagine you are with a group of friend, it's lunchtime and everyone's hungry then you say "I'm craving meat!". I'm guessing no-one will think you mean you want to eat fish.

Does every headline have to lie? Viewers is different than subscriptions...

From the article...

>On top of that, subscriptions to Apple TV's MLS Season Pass have more than doubled since the former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain star started plying his trade in the US in July.

>That's according to Jorge Mas, one of Inter Miami's owners. Mas added that "Spanish language viewership on MLS Season Pass on Apple TV has surpassed over 50 percent for Messi matches and continues to rise," underscoring the player's popularity in the Spanish-speaking community. Apple CEO Tim Cook retweeted Mas' comments, indicating that Mas' claims are genuine (Apple's PR team has been drawing attention to the tweet as well).

1. 50% is not doubling
2. It says Spanish language
3. Viewers do not equal subscriptions
4. For Messi matches not all matches

There is no evidence on subscriptions doubling, SBJ says it went from 700,000 to 1 million but that includes free subscriptions for season ticket holders.

Mandated masking, up-to-date vaccines, exceptions for at-risk employees would be a good start... but I'm not a doctor or epidemiologist. The point is that COVID-19 pandemic is not over and there should be policies followed to protect at-risk and differently-abled employees. They shouldn't have to expose themselves to health risks in order to comply with an RTO policy due to local conditions allowing people to be in public spaces unmasked and with no vaccination.

Full remote is more productive. Enough people seem to think so based off of various surveys.
It is doubtful they have robust objective data. Much more likely, a suit asked someone to get data to justify RTO, someone found some metrics that look better within people who RTO'd voluntarily, and they are using it to justify their hypothesis without anyone having the balls/organizational clout to push back critically.
Okay, that's an impressive hack! One that should be totally unnecessary, but wow, nice job working around limitations!

Source available is proprietary. Decades ago, it was not unusual for proprietary Unix software to be distributed in source form, and installed by first compiling it on the target system. Merely distributing source is not and has never been the key difference between open-source and proprietary software.
Call of Duty needs longer than one year of lifecycle between rotating studios. Every release, the game is broken in one fashion or another. MWII, for example, had a largely broken user interface, with elements not working at all (can't click them). Then there are all of the game play bugs, which often got worse over time, or remained in game for a long time. Ground War in MWI 2019 was often a victim of this when they would make updates to Warzone (a completely different 'game' using a shared engine).

And then there are all of the regressions, either between studio releases, or more commonly after a patch.

Based on the various studios behavior, I stopped playing CoD. Battlebit is my go-to now for large scale combat. Not really any noticeable bugs in moment-to-moment gameplay, which is awesome for a dev team of _four_.

Interesting, because this is similar to a Chinese cultivation novels, or what is known as xianxia genre, trope. Usually, characters live in different “realms” and they have to train/fight/be lucky to “reach a higher realm” where the rules are different (usually means the pressure/danger/ambient-absorbable-energy is higher).
Yes, but whoever hits the button last gets control, so you can take priority back.
