SIL is used in my industry (Industrial manufacturing and Refining). It covers more than software though. Mostly system integration - for example things like interlocks and whether a valve will fail open/closed etc.

In one instance we wanted to use a FLIR camera to measure temperature as part of a control loop - had to provide guarantees about the cameras reliability (i.e. mean time between failure), have redundancy and fallbacks in place etc. In order to satisfy the SIL process.

People have waaaay too much faith that motorized devices won't injure or kill them. Even motorized lie flat seats in an aircraft can probably break something. Many of these devices rely on simple current limiting. While this can help, its definately not a guarantee that it won't kill you.
the biggest difference between a hybrid and an EV being the size of the battery, you're probably taking into account the carbon footprint of mining all the minerals for the battery from the ore. that's a huge cost, but the battery can be recycled and rebuilt with those purified metals for much less energy than it took to separate them from their ores.

In my opinion it is. Those would have to be very small bedrooms.

I lived in a 180 m^2 3 bedroom (well 2 bed and 1 office) and it seemed about the right size for a family.

I never said they weren’t! My objection is to the idea that, somehow, software development is _more_ demanding or exhausting than other white collar professions.
We can and do, and on the other side of a legal process, it may be found that Omegle is not at all liable for the actions of its users.

Even when they bump you at a speed that would be like a mild shove from a person, the unyielding force is remarkable, and if you're ever near one and surprised by a sudden 'full send' motion, it's terrifying.
Citi to Pay $25.9M for Discrimination Against Armenian Americans
The ACLU of Virginia did defend the rights of white supremacists to organize in Charlottesville in 2017. I believe the resulting violence triggered some aclu soul searching and I’m not sure where the organization landed on defending the free speech of nazis and the like. Speaking for myself, I hope they keep to their principles.
Weren't there rumors of the Soviets trying to do something like this back in the 1970s? An acquaintance who grew up in those days occasionally jokes about how a couple of particularly bad winters were caused by those experiments ...
Far from it. Are you a web developer by any chance?
It's just a dumb parody piece because the only underlying joke is calling job-seekers lazy.
We did that post-columbine. One of our friends made the map in something like CS or something. Our little friend group thought it was awesome, but it was also tacitly understood that at no point could we tell anyone outside our tiny little trust circle about it, god forbid they thought we were like the columbine kids, instead of just trying to play a game in like, one of the two buildings we spent half of our lives in thus far. I don't know if he ever even ultimately shared it with us. We also made the school in a starcraft map using the blue resources as hallways IIRC, and were quiet about that one too, for the same reason haha
Disagree. Sounds in a concrete building can travel a very long way. Someone drilling into a wall or dropping something on the floor can be heard from several floors away. Timber construction usually limits sounds from neighboring units. And when it's well constructed with noise insulation, you don't even hear neighbors.
I'm aware, but I use *BSD on my computers and can't afford to pay for a FreeBSD LW license to compile something from source myself, so I'm shit outta luck. I am aware that the reason why it uses LispWorks is for the GUI toolkit, which is an understandable reason to since there isn't currently a real free software alternative to CAPI unless one wants to be reliant on Qt or GTK (neither of which are native to MacOS or Windows obviously). maybe one day if McCLIM gets better support for backends other than X11 there will be a real alternative, but even then, from digging into Open Music's source code it would be an absolutely massive undertaking to try to rewrite it to not be dependent on LW and it probably is the same for other CL composition software that uses LW.
Barring legislation, I just can't see digital lending ever being as good as a print library.

At a print library, the library buys a book. They own that book, and you check out that book for "free" (ignoring taxes and library dues). You do whatever you want with the book on your own time and turn it in. If the library ever goes under, those books are given to other libraries or to the community that funded it.

In a digital library, the library is paying a subscription (read: rent) for the books in their catalog. The publishers set up the fee structures to suck as much money out of the taxpayer as possible. There is an artificial limitation on the number of books lended because libraries do not own their books. You check out "their" book, and are usually babysat by DRM schemes that keep them online only. Your access to a copy of an infinite number of copies eventually expires. Better hope the publishers don't charge more for rent next year, or those books might disappear from the catalog. This is especially a problem in scientific research, where underfunded university libraries might not be able to afford subscriptions to all of the major journals.

Digital libraries are far more inefficient because of overly strong copyright laws and impotent fair use laws, not because there is something intrinsically wrong with the digital format. The only reason you cannot access every book ever scanned at your library is simple: greed.

So here I am on Indeed, I submit an application, or am trying. Even have a cover letter that has customizability (several paragraph inserts depending on the nature of the position). And then I turn the page...

And there's a wall of text boxes. "Describe in detail, including the metrics, KPIs and reasoning you used when you launched your previous 0 to 1 product to ensure a good fit to your customer", "We have noticed that churn is increasing. What steps do you take to identify why this is, and what you intend to do to stop this trend?", "Describe in detail the biggest challenge and obstacles you've overcome getting a product to market, including both the technical aspects and business/people components, and be specific about the role you played in making sure these were surmountable".

Uh. No. Let's have those discussions in the interview process, not when you're winging through hundreds of resumes to see how "compatible" I am. (I may also be bitter because my previous experience includes working on a health insurance claims benefit management system AND an EHR system for a medical specialization, and I really doubt that, within 20 minutes of you getting my CV for a position that requests someone with "expert level" health insurance system knowledge AND "experience interfacing between EHR providers and partners" that you "are looking for someone whose experience more closely aligns with the job requirements").

It’s mostly because they’re frankly irrelevant anymore (near as I can tell).
It's not "cheap and shitty", it's sustainable (unlike concrete), flexible (I can modify walls easily) and with good sound proofing quieter than concrete.

I lived in a 100+ year old wood framed apartment building. The lifespan of concrete in most climate would mean that building would abandoned and too expensive to repair.
It's easier to blame Omegle than society or her parents failing to educate her about the dangers of the internet.

Rehashing the table affects every element. Rebalancing the tree only affects a few elements, and probably not one being concurrently accessed.
Because your account is currently your phone number, so if they want to open the service to a limited number of power users, it makes sense to restrict it to folks who already are signal users, IMO.
I am not surprised. As long as we pretend we can still operate a growth economy while "doing something" about climate change, we are going to have a huge problem trying to curb the use of fossil fuels. In the short term, new competing energy sources will lower the demand of fossil fuels and hence the price, so that more will be used to compensate.

But even besides the issue of alternative energy sources, we insist on growing our consumerist, capitalistic economy being made more efficient by THE DAY by soulless tech companies like Google, so what do you expect?

Countries should re-tool to be more self-sustainable in terms of the basics of food, shelter, and basic products. We should strive to make economies less efficient and more self-sufficient.
> I can't imagine that they are requiring vendors to provide factory manuals and full technical information for free, for example

Here is another idea you cant imagine: no copyright protection and no property right on repair manuals.

The question in my mind is, 74 million monthly users have a good time (or not bad enough to not come back, whatever) vs the inevitable catastrophic event as you say, isn’t it well worth it to accept the risk and continue? The world couldn’t possibly function any other way
There's a catch 22 when repairing machinery, you have to see it in action to determine what is going wrong, and sometimes this means getting up close with it during operation. I've seen many techs/mechanics bypass guards and not use lockouts when diagnosing machinery problems. And of course everyone is "ok" with it because they are supposed to be experts and know what they are doing.
I don’t think im being extreme. That is the way I see it. That is the way the various media outlets portray it. And that is the rhetoric that has taken over politics.

What should I do? I have no one I want to vote for and honestly I don’t care enough to do it myself. At this point it’s just figuring out how you can profit off this and get your own piece of land to check out on.

I don’t find this to be depressing it’s just what I see as facts.

Why do you need to access the whole cable? The thing you care about is where it emerges from the wall. Put in plenty of spare junction boxes and conduit from junction to junction and you'll have a modular maintainable system and your walls won't look like junk.
He's not saying don't build anything. He's saying think about the potential for misuse (and implying, take reasonable steps to prevent it). This seems completely sensible to me.
That's interesting - what happens if you go in the other direction and replace "and labor" with something like "and free market economics"?
And frankly, they always had a very selective list of things they bothered to get involved in. There are a ton of civil liberties they always avoided doing anything about.

But they’re mostly irrelevant anymore - the causes they’ve started going after have a thousand other non-profits doing as much for, or better now.
Watching the video I'm already lost. Why would I want a "fresh start" with a new email? All the people I talk to and services I use already know my email.

Also, why would I want to see emails that I've already seen right on the main page? I already saw it. I originally hoped maybe this was for "snoozed" things, but it seems like snoozed things go... below stuff I didn't snooze?

The focus mode looks interesting, but what I'd want is focus mode on the email address I've been using for the last 20 years.
No one is expecting anyone to be an oracle to be honest.

This is hyperbolic, don't you think? If I were to write a new, let's say, operating system - why would this thinking block me?

There's a ton of things you can create that really won't pose a moral question. Especially when we have prior art to look at.

> Our brains form largely on the basis of neurons talking and connecting to strangers.

This is nonsense. Our neurons don’t talk to strangers. They talk with other neurons from the same individual. There is more in common between any two connected neurons than between two family members.

And besides there is no reason to think that what happens between cells is a good model to base human behaviour on whatsoever.

Even if you thought this, then just become a PM who is a wicked-ass coder as well instead.

Removing the feedback loop between Product and Engineering would be a huge productivity gain - I personally always wanted to see myself as more than a hired gun that just did what they were told anyway.

This would probably be great for our careers long term if we learned the other side and accepted it. A lot of people just want to code, but if it were me I'd rather have someone do both if the economics and work load still made sense.

What you might see long term is one role, with people having a T or M shape that is either more user-research driven or technical driven.

It becoming a one-person show helps you too, if you are willing to be more entrepreneurial and capitalize on your own skills instead of lending them to someone else.

> the above estimate will be either 30 minutes

Yeah, I had a PM who taught me to do this by doing it themself. My estimates are actually just doubled from how much I expect it to take when I know the design and can work with no distractions.

I’ve also worked with managers who “negotiate” as others sometimes describe. Of these I see good and bad. One who was aware of short- and long-term goals of our team and asked for estimates so they could decide what features we need to include; another who already promised the features and the deadline and is asking me to tell them that they did not overpromise despite my observations. (“I don’t believe I’ll be able to deliver those features by that date.”)

Others in between, including some who don’t like being told explicitly that I double the estimate. Worse still, the one who halves it as if to correct for some mistake.

I guess the moral is that developers aren’t the only critical party when it comes to communicating estimates. Managers do their own job; good, bad, or otherwise.

-------

> depending on my audience

Other than some managers I assume another developer or a good technical manager, and it’s a good approach. Sounds at least similar to explicitly stating that you doubled your “no distractions” estimate. Too bad it seems that an unfortunate lot of people work with the bad “negotiating” type who might even be so disrespectful as to correct their co-worker’s mistaken opinion -- which they asked for!

(Not to leave this as advice for the parent commenter. Just wrote some thoughts and figure I can share for anyone who might get value from them.)
Last key wins is the most common behavior among widely-used implementations. It should be assumed as the default.
I have never been on the crypto bandwagon other than some GPU mining here and there. I still have yet to see a use case other than making financial transactions banned by the government and MAYBE as an alternative to figuring out how wire transfers work.
