The design of channels is constrained by the need to support concurrency. If you do not need concurrency, using something designed to support it will be suboptimal. And because it's specifically concurrency, the overhead will be substantial.

This whole thing was predictable when Red Hat got sold off to IBM, and it seems to be the ever repeating cycle of American capitalism. In order for such communities to exceed the lifespans of their creators, we need foundations and non-profits to prevent hostile takeovers by VCs.
They were tested. They all correctly recall weather and major events on any day they were asked about.

Presumably the people coming through these programs are a drop in the ocean next to number of Americans fluent in Chinese and Spanish, and likely able to teach it at quite a high level without a specific degree for that language.
Well, we do have some other strategies. Hydro and wind just turn the turbine mechanically, they don't heat up water to make steam. And photovoltaics create electricity directly using an effect that won Einstein the Nobel prize and began the age of quantum mechanics, so that's about as advanced as they come.
These are amazing options for relatives who need a computer. One of these things with Linux + Firefox will basically cover everything.

I haven’t totally settled on the distro at the moment. Something immutable, so things can’t go wrong during updates, but you also want something established that you know will be providing updates for a very long time. I’m trying out Nix for this purpose at the moment. There is no graphical App Store for the OS, but if you set up FlatHub then there is. We’ll see how it goes.
Maybe this has something to do with it:

I’m critical because it’s systemic. And made in the name of science. For all intents and purposes, this is the science we’re subjugated to.

Again, critical because it’s systemic and people have lost their jobs, entire families had to move regions because the father expressed doubts about a scientist, to be later revealed that doubts were correct. The amount of harm done over this science is unbearable to see.

At least we need a honest discussion instead of obviously biased propaganda. I did no vax because of just biasness on any type of mass media, and now the vax is just not needed any more for anything. But I am totally OK about other vaccines which discussion is not so greedily (I mean not just sources with 1M+ of subscribers but proably 100+ ones too) are being controlled by big brother.

This is too complicated topic to be understandable by masses but the opposite is to ban people who are honestly wrong.

The ECAM is where one needs to look and start debugging. The pilots here didn't really do that. Audible warnings are only really used if they're extremely time sensitive (GPWS, Stalling, Dual Input).

There is no "cacophony of warning lights". The overhead panel is a designed to have all buttons not be illuminated, so if you're checking what's wrong, you can immediately tell by there being a light indicator on it. Here this was limited to two ADIRs indicating FAULT. Nothing more.

I have used some iterator libraries for go and they do make for much more manageable code, especially if you start nesting iterators, like iterating over JSON which reads from an iterator over a blob from blob storage. And it also makes it simpler to apply filters at various points. Using callbacks also works but makes for nastier code.

Automation sits in a lot of different positions: sometimes it's a cheaper option overall, sometimes it's actually more expensive but more flexible than manual assembly, and it varies greatly from operation to operation (some almost exclusively manual and some almost exclusively automated)
True, that would have been most appropriate.

So you have millions of Software Engineers flying in Boeing planes every year, right? They could be valuable free labor while in the air!

We just have to modify the in-flight WiFi so all you can do is clone the Boeing monorepo, and for every submitted pull request we give out free SkyMiles or something.
From a comment on that site, it seems only some models manuals are free.
I'm pretty sure that's not nearly the worst thing the US military has done. Collateral damage happens in every war.
All of the strongest SWEs at Boeing got sucked away to FAANG in Seattle for 2-3x TC. Check them out on LinkedIn... there's been a steady brain drain to those companies for many years.

> Sadly, I think more people will die before this 70+ year discipline will come even close to implementing the safety processes devised by millenia of expertise in fields like civil engineering.

With all due respect, the safety culture and processes in aviation are excellent and exemplary.

Software in aviation is a bit more problematic (viz, MCAS in the MAX; though note that in the instances discussed here nobody came to harm, thanks to redundancy and pilots doing their job), but also subject to processes and rules that far exceed one or two people putting a signature to paper.
I think the biggest issue with electric motorbikes is infrastructure because, at least from what I see, motorbikes aren't used the same way cars are.

I think they should work great for commuting, if you don't live too far away. But then, people would want to use the bike for other things, too, like going on road trips.

And that's where it hurts. You usually don't take road trips on the main highways because it's boring as hell. You'll take smaller roads, which often don't yet have any reasonable charging infrastructure. Combined with the shorter ranges, nobody is really going to risk it, so they'll just buy a gas bike. Hell, even with my gas bike's tank which is on larger side (19.5 liters), I sometimes have to cart around "safety gas", which I've had to use once. And no, it's not a dirt bike or anything, the only time it went off the asphalt was to go inside a hotel yard.

I think this is the reason why, at least where I live in Europe, you see next to no "serious" electric bikes, but practically all smaller ones are now electric: these bikes don't do anything apart commuting anyway, so electric is great for that.
Consider, with how much data Google has, that they don't care about having your data, especially if it's clearly been untouched for years.

Though either way, my point stands: If you value Google storing your data, pay for it. If you don't, that implies you don't actually care about your data because you refused to place any explicit value on it.

>Many otherwise intelligent people think that religion/philosophy is purely subjective, merely a word game

Well, "subjective" is the wrong word, but I get what you mean. However, aren't they just word games? It's not like theology and philosophy study anything real. They just investigate what can be deduced from specific axiomatic systems that are entirely divorced from reality. Theologians aren't even consistent, since they have dogmas that they'll contort around in order to avoid contradicting, even if that involves contradicting other parts of scripture.

I'll never forget the time I asked a philosophy undergraduate why he decided to go to university for philosophy rather than just reading the bibliography by himself, and he told me that by doing so he could teach philosophy. An academic pyramid scheme.
Could be plenty of reasons, but say you want to support spikey traffic like whatever is related to events, news, realtime information, etc., or highly seasonal stuff like a school portal or selling flowers on mother's day, you want the ability to scale horizontally very quickly to accommodate spikes
> Some of those employers will say "work at the office or quit, your choice."

Haha, god no, that’s constructive dismissal. “Quit or I make your working conditions worse, require relocation to a new area, or reduce your salary” is not something the law or the courts treat as a voluntary choice, they’re not quitting, you’re laying them off not-for-cause due to a shift in organizational strategy. You’ll be paying these people to go away.

The whole “RTO as a backdoor headcount reduction” has sort of been sold as this whole thing where it’s do or die, and the proper response is “well, if I choose not to do it, what does the severance package look like”?

The fact that you are making this offer org-wide and you don’t know who’s going to take it is your problem, it’s still a layoff like any other change in strategy.
> failed to govern fairly and transparently during this crisis. Every one!

Every country didn’t take erratically bad decisions. It was not random. It was coordinated. Coordinated towards the bad.

I’ve spent a decade in the public sector where you’ll find a little of both. In my experience the dedicated software departments produce better quality software over time. This isn’t to say you can’t do it with integrated teams spread out over your organisation, it’s just that it comes with more of a risk of two separate teams working “against” each other (usually not on purpose) when you have less “control” over your digitalisation organisation. Now, I’m actually a huge fan of doing the spread out stuff, but not for critical software. The best comparison I have from my work is medical software that has life and death impact. I absolutely think your hospital should have dedicated digitalisation teams spread out over all it’s organisations to better spot and build things that benefit the organisation, but the people writing the surgery automation software need to be in the department that does that sort of thing in my opinion.

What I have experienced to be more of a factor on the quality of your vital software than anything is your corporate culture, however, I’m sure you can succeed with more autonomous teams and with dedicated departments alike, but to do so, the single most important factor is that you let your engineers and their quality decide when things are ready. Your entire organisation needs to understand that no matter what level of CEO you are, your opinion doesn’t matter if the engineers tell you something isn’t safe. And you need to foster a culture where your engineers will actually tell you that things aren’t ready without any sort of incentives to lie or move too fast. Which is incredibly hard to do.

I suspect that AirBus is simply better at this than Boeing. With the amount of scary stories to come out of Boeing in recent years, it sort of looks like Boeing has become a place where money matters more than anything else, so much so, that quality product aren’t as important to them as they once were. Which can frankly happen to any organisation and Boeing can also find its way back from there.

But really, if that happens to an organisation where it costs lives it’s the responsibility of the government to shut those companies down with regulations. Which is something the US seems to struggle with, and many Americans will likely even find this statement sort of appalling.

Not to be outdone, if you've not seen it in the UK we've had this much smaller rebellion: https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/extinction-rebellion-pr...
It exists, and it'a called the ECAM. Last recorded reliable airspeed is usually never used, because an upset condition can change it very drastically fast. These systems help resolve upsets way more often then they miss and these engineers did their homework.

Hearing is also the first sense to go when people panic; this flight had the stall warning blaring for over a minute straight and it didn't occur to the pilots that they may not be in overspeed, but stall.

(It is of course not perfect, sometimes conditions become dependent on one another and their order is not always great - see this simulated simultaneous engine fire and engine failure right after takeoff, where flying on your burning engine might be better than turning into a 1000ft glider: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRbLLO385_c)

I know a bit of graph theory, followed some courses at the university and worked on some graph problems [1], but the third definition in the book for 'n-th coprimality graph' was something I had never heard about.

Please elaborate
Sure, scientists can continue to debate the fine points of these issues. The evidence doesn't hinge on the two lineages argument. The following review paper lists a bunch of other reasons why a zoonotic spillover is more likely including genomic structure, similarity to other endemic coronaviruses which had zoonotic origins, epidemiological evidence surrounding the seafood market, etc.

https://www.cell.com/cell/pdf/S0092-8674(21)00991-0.pdf

Notice that the review seriously considers the possibility of a lab leak, indicating that this wasn't some off-limits topic even back in 2021.

The Lancet letter cites evidence of a natural origin and condemns conspiracy theories. I think that's still largely consistent with the current consensus. Since none of the known samples at the WIV were related to SARS-CoV-2, by definition the truth of the lab leak hypothesis would imply a conspiracy and coverup. I don't think "strongly condemning" something is the same as suppressing public debate about it.

Vlad the Impaler may have had condition causing his tears to be mixed with blood
You're conflating two separate things - science as a concept, and the scientific establishment. As a concept, sceince obviously works and can't be changed. The scientific establishment is a bunch of people and institutions, and it's practices may or may not match with the concept of science, and may change with time.

To imagine an extreme case, Nature could start publishing theology papers instead of physics and biology - in that case, an important part of the scientific establishment would have stopped doing actual science. But, based on reputation, many people would keep believing what Nature prints and would still point to the new theology articles as "scientists have discovered that [...]".

This is what people mean when they say science is becoming a religion: not that the concept of what science is changing, but that certain parts of the scientific establishment are not doing science per se but that their conclusions are still regarded as scientific based on past reputation.

A specific example would be someone like Michio Kaku. He is nominally a scientist, and is often interviewed as a scientist and many believe he is there to present what science says. But he is in fact just some public speaker/sci-fi author who last practiced science decades ago and now revels in speculation and exaggeration. He is essentially a priest of scientism.

The philosophy of identity is quite interesting to me. I've been thinking about it for a long time.

I like the idea of proof of personhood, and proof of location. These are both concepts that I have explored extensively. I looked at retina scans, and found it they're both not unique enough, and not secure enough to act as a basis for a currency.

My proof of location was based on the 500 mile email story. Many millions of round trips between two devices could allow someone to prove on a blockchain that two secret keys were stored arbitrarily close to one another for some amount of time.

The paper mentions key signing parties which I believe must be part of any web of trust that proves personhood. Proving uniqueness is more difficult. There's nothing that would stop me from having several different identities verified at different key signing parties, then using those to generate even more.

Using genealogy seems to be the only way to truly verify a unique identity if the system becomes widespread enough that parents often verify their children at birth. Then the age of the identity matches the age of the individual.

Farther into the future, the possibility of creating multiple copies of myself makes it much more difficult to tie an identity to a particular group of cells. There's nothing truly unique about a copy, especially if we have the ability to change our DNA.

Philosophically, I started to wonder if there's anything particularly special about any arrangement of cells. Maybe we should all just do our best, share resources, and create a society where abundance makes keeping track of all this stuff unnecessary.
Yeah sometimes it’s easy to critique the air industry. But imagine if these same safety reviews were applied to the car industry. So many lives could be saved but we have become numb to car accidents.
He's going to jail for witness tampering.

If he successfully tampers with the witness, enough to sow reasonable doubt and lead to his acquittal at trial, then it's worth it. That's why it's a crime - because there is a potential payoff to it. If actually tampering with the witness never worked, there would be no need to criminalize it.
