Let me ask you a serious question: Given that some people have been claiming that Java is introducing features too late or too badly for 20 years now (and so PHP will surely kill Java off, and if not then certainly Ruby will, and if not then definitely Node.JS), how do you explain that Java remains the most commonly selected language for serious server-side software? I mean, at some point during an exceptionally long success streak in sports, the argument that the team manager doesn't know what he's doing starts to sound silly.

If the argument is along the lines of "the market is stupid," then surely that's something that can be exploited. In fact, that was Paul Graham’s point over 20 years ago in Beating the Averages: if a language is superior then it should confer a market advantage. And yet, that's not happening to Java.

If the argument is about momentum, then after 20 years of "surely this is the last nail in the coffin," clearly there is some misestimate of the importance of various factors.

So to me it looks like either the purported mistakes aren't really mistakes at all, or they are but clearly don't matter much. Is there another possibility?

Further, they allowed the old planes to tarnish the reputation of the new ones. If they had made of completely different brand name, then a 10-year-old 737 wouldn't get mixed up with a new plane.
Assume everything is learnable

This made me think of late grandmother who used to say : "c'est faite par du mondes" which roughly expand to "a person did/learned/discovered that so there is no a prioi reason that I cannot do so myself". That's the greatest value she passed unto me. When I feel that I cannot do something, I think about that phrase and persevere.
People don’t really care about the morality of the organization head if the org is able to stand on its own. There’s been no shortage of known scumbags helming popular companies even in recent times to seemingly little effect.
The confusion, I think, is that many people see opportunity as luck, especially so when that opportunity was grasped by someone else.

Also even if luck is a stable quantity, it's helped by attempts at success.
I think artists who create art out of love and passion will be valued even more. Much like how handicrafts in an industrial and mechanized day and age still have their place. Also the countless “amish furniture” references I’ve encountered are a testament to that.

Ah yes, agreed, spot on about the loss/confirmation/extension.
joke post?
Oops! Definitely. It actually looks to have been a clever use of irony. The internet is such a hard place to be clever though, in that people tend to take things at face value.
Agree, those videos need a “making of”. It would be very interesting
I have never met a non-European culture that had a frontiersmanship attitude towards space.
The difference between audio and video is that the sample rates are 44kHz vs 24-60fps. Holding the last frame would be like holding the last sample which is DC (i.e. silent). Replaying the last buffer is what underrun typically does sounding like a fast repeated stutter more akin to replaying the last N frames.
> [Lynch] managed to cram the whole story in less than 2h30 and in (to me) coherent and understandable way.

I don't think you can make a coherent and understandable movie-Dune without using voice-over character thoughts. You need the footnotes.

It's a tricky device, because it's so easy to overuse, but Lynch mostly limits himself to where it's really needed. AND makes it play better with his trademark dreamlike mood.

Villeneuve's Dune is what you get without this -- I hope everyone read the books! Which on one hand, respect your audience. But on the other, most people haven't read the books.

E.g. Lynch Gom Jabbar: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QrCfivcQe48

Villeneuve Gom Jabbar: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mbTp1vlRqYA

PS: Wtf Lady Jessica in Villeneuve Pt I? She's got enough mettle to defy the Reverend Mother and bear a male child, but then all that strength disappears? I get it... setting up for contrast with Fremen Jessica, but hamfisted. :(
I believe in objective morality.
Porn is immoral.
A persons immoral behavior outside of work is a red flag. It means they are also MORE likely to ack immoral at work. Based on that, it could be grounds for dismissal.
I think it's two different topics here.

Businesses themselves rarely fire people out of principle, but rather because of pressure.

(at least in the case outlined by GP, where the cause is "not criminal, not involving employees/customers, not done under the guise of being an employee")

The pressure often comes from the outside, and it's indeed very difficult for a business to fight it.

I don't think GP is arguing for it, I also don't know if I am arguing for it... but... IMO for those cases the only simple "solution" I can see is to legally protect those people from being fired for unrelated reasons, so that business has legal plausible deniability, and hopefully doesn't suffer the consequences itself.
I'm not concerned with slow development and the occasional fire. I'm more concerned with rampant over-regulation. Being required to have a license to put up a non load bearing wall in my own house... The homeless in the US that cannot afford the minimum ordained "humane" dwelling size. Minimum parking lot size requirements. Minimum wage. The fed modulating the currency value with the goal of INCREASING unemployment. Homes being required to have running water and electricity, be above a certain size, or you aren't allowed to live in them (Even if they are way wayy out in the middle of the woods). $20,000 driveway concrete keying fees intended to hurt companies that prevent basic individual rights on personal property.

Regulation raises costs, and raises price floors.
Generally you gain some quality, but don't see the ghost it unleashes.

I understand we need building codes in cities so fires don't burn down all of New York, and train, plane, drug inspection laws. But I think overall, non-violent crime in the world is absolutely over-regulated.

For some reason people usually assume there are no costs to regulation, and only benefit. I think its a just psychology. Regulation is a thin line that requires dancing on. Always assume there's a ghost cost behind a decision, even if it seems harmless. Even something as well intended as banning candy from the front of grocery stores to cut childhood obesity could unroll into a huge problem as each actor solves their local issue, and generate an emergent behavior. I'll function as an annoying representative of this concept.
The output file can be used normally and the signature of the host file is also maintained. Here's an example of hiding a WEBP file within a JPG: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/94eed6b9d83424d7a552fc36.... You can access the output file here: https://gofile.io/d/DTMlii
Or the opposite. Now people will become desensitized and assume it's just more clickbait.
The new dune is just better. Some people can’t get around that fact and I think it’s the same realm as retro computing. Sure it’s cool, it’s interesting, it’s fun, but it’s not better. I think they have the same “hobby” as retro computing but won’t admit it so to speak.

Using positive and negative voltages to represent balanced ternary requires both positive and negative power supply. They do mention that having additional Vcc is problematic. At least on our 2D chips, but we don't have any high density integration alternative, vacuum tubes are irrelevant.
In contrast, there are many things to say about Lynch's version, but he didn't just play it safe. Although compared to the plans Jodorowski (original director) had for the movie, he was probably conservative :D
Oh cool, I didn't realize Firefox Send has survived via a community fork. No commits in 7 months though, that's a bit long...
Why not share this article in the .NET communities on Reddit or Twitter? People there would be interested in this kind of content and might engage with your work. If you prefer, I'd be happy to share the article in these communities for you.
Saw a variation of this during the recent bout of tech layoffs. Shortly before end of year eval time, a senior executive sent out emails questioning whether it was even possible for new hires to have made sufficient impact and suggesting they should consequently be given a poor rating as the default.

It's amazing that leaders at these companies which, for years, acted as though they had all the answers and were more successful than other industries because they worked smarter. And then, at the first sign of headwinds, they want no accountability for their decisions and can't figure out a principles as simple as being honest and treating people fairly.

I'm honestly curious how CloudFlare will handle reference checks for these people, given they are calling these performance based dismissals. Will they say they are "not eligible for rehire" (the HR way of saying they were terminated for cause)? If so, I hope they get sued, as that can tank a person's entire career trajectory.
>Oh, and being rich helps your agency quite a lot.

Kids receiving nice cars as gifts from parents on their sixteenth birthday was a reliable crash predictor for my classmates growing up. The ones that worked hard to contribute to the cost and often bought second hand seemed to have a lot less accidents.
She was likely stack ranked. You can rule out many big tech companies then, if you don't agree with it. Its been happening for many many years...
It is a numbers game. And by increasing the number of chances to "play", you increase the probability of scoring (i.e. "increase your luck surface area").

> How do you know if by increasing your good luck in one area you’re not increasing your bad luck in another?

I think you do know. Eat healthy and move => most likely will increase the probability of be able to be more active at an older age. Build and launch projects => increase the probability of building a profitable business (but if doing that makes you burnout - sure, you could say you increased your "bad luck" from a health perspective)
Outstanding and inspiring result. Congratulations to the people of Taiwan!
You’re fighting human nature if you think people aren’t going to be hyper attentive to things like this after the (latest) Max 9 incident. Also, it is not in any way “very bad.” In fact, it’s very good. Plane makers should believe one faulty decision could completely ruin them, that’s how they should be attacking any engineering problems related to putting people in the air. Clearly Boeing’s leadership is ok with putting profits before safety, they need to be shown there is no profit without extremely tight safety margins.
I saw the same influx of salary-seekers during the dot com boom. Generally people that don't have a native curiosity and love of computing just don't pan out well. I'm not gatekeeping or against them trying, would love it if people were more honest about it but honesty isn't part of the hiring culture ("why do you want to work here?" "money" is frowned upon as an answer.)

It would be like if there was a housing boom and residential house framing ramped up base hourly pay to $100/hour with lunches provided and relaxation chambers onsite. You would see a huge influx of people going to it for the money rather than someone who is really into construction, knows load bearing tolerances, code for hurricanes or earthquakes, how to properly frame stairs, etc.
> I think ObjC caused a lot of this bad software. Race conditions, state management bugs, logic bugs, etc.

Apple software quality has declined significantly from the Objective-C era to the Swift era; but that actually has nothing to do with the programming language and everything to do with the forced march yearly release schedule and the lack of caring about quality by current Apple leadership.
Should split the companies and let the commercial arm sink or swim.

It won’t happen because lobbying and been one of the big two is good for soft power so Boeing will be allowed to kill people as long as it stays under a certain rate.
While I agree in principle, the fact remains that certain things you publicly do in your free time will change the way people view you and their respect for you as a professional. In the end, it affects your ability to do your job when you lose respect of your colleagues and clients.

In a perfect world, this wouldn’t be a problem, but we’re far from that.
I agree with you, and I think this is a recurring flaw you'll see in Rationalist communities: they love smart, Rationalist, Just So stories ("X can be explained by Y", never mind whether that explanation is actually correct...and best not mention it if you want to be an upstanding member of the community).
Clarification for anyone who is as confused as I was: Spirit Aerosystems, not Spirit Airlines. Spirit Aerosystems is the subcontractor that made the door plug. It was spun out of Boeing in 2005 and still has tight employee connections. Spirit Airlines has no connection to Boeing; they actually run an all-Airbus fleet.
I’m creative but have never been adept at sharing visual ideas in my head with the rest of the world. I’ve found genAI image tools empowering because for the first time I can turn an idea into my head into something other people can see and enjoy. I’ve used it for everything from portaits and memes to recreating scenes from my memories that I don’t have photos of to help me remember.

Do you have suggestions where to find them and which one(s) to see?
Thanks, I wasnt aware of the differences between various provers.
Interesting opinion!

I am retired and only program and write books for fun now, so my experience is likely not relevant: I have used co-pilot with Emacs and VSCode for the last year and it truly does save time. When I write, I like to ingest several pages into ChatGPT or Anthropic’s Claude 2, and ask things “any suggests for new topics for me to write about?”, etc.

I find the technology useful. Less useful, but fun are open source projects like open interpreter using local models.

I am not totally disagreeing with you, the level of hype is epic.
Amazing that it is from 1964 originally!

As we go deeper down this path it makes sense to me why they destroyed and banned all the “thinking” machines in Dune.
The same FAA that fast tracked the max version which led to TWO separate fatal accidents? Yeah I’m sure they are so concerned about safety.
Not op, but I thought that the roles for Rabban and Feyd were absolutely ham-fisted acting in the Lynch version. Maybe there was a goal to communicate complex character elements in a highly condensed way, but it just comes across as clumsy to me.

Baron was fine if not better in the Lynch version.

Note that I watched the Lynch version in a theater in the 80s and recently rewatched it, and my feeling about the acting portrayal of these two characters was the almost exactly the same then and now — painful to watch.

In Canada, there's young drivers that teaches a lot of defensive driving tactics. Then there's others that teach how to pass the test. I've saved myself several times over the years with the brake and avoid and once with the head on collision techniques.
It’s hard for me to think of any one specific scene that is visually memorable, because _the entire movie_ is visually memorable to me. It’s easily one of the most visually and auditory impressive films I’ve seen in the past decade, whereas Lynch’s seemed like a low-budget SyFy film in comparison.
You mean like this person ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jo58qEoThSs
I agree
Branding didn't really matter. The MAX had to be a 737 for certification and crew training.

Boeing cut corners during development, MCAS. And it seems that they are cutting corners as well in manufacturing, supplier management and quality insurance.

There is nothing to funny about any of that.

Key Qualifications: Ability to write safe and high performing code with C/C++

The entire reason swift exists? Because safe and fast code code in C or C++ is not a thing.

I'm curious whether their swift compiler is written in swift yet. It seems like that would be a good idea but in direct tension with C++ interop which would be very tempting to do by hacking on clang (which is not written in swift).
I am from Wisconsin, have good friends that went to the UW-LAX, and it's obviously an embarrassment and something that damages the reputation of the university. It's very simple: imagine you're interviewing for a job, they look at your resume, they see the university you went to, and think, "Oh, I was just hearing something in the news about this school, what was that about again?"

Obviously, an interviewer shouldn't reasonably hold this against a candidate, but it's in the back of their head. As a candidate, the bar to impress is made slightly higher in order to overcome that subconscious bias. One of my best friends is in this exact situation of looking to switch jobs (outside of tech, in sales) and holding a degree from UW-LAX, and he's legitimately punting his job search for a few months until this is out of the news cycle.

That's just completely unacceptable. You could be the most competent chancellor in the world, but it doesn't matter if your lifestyle choices can have that kind of negative impact on alumni. It's unbelievably selfish. If you have some inner need to publicize your sexual encounters, that's fine and well, but you owe it to the thousands of people you represent to resign from your job. The only way that I can explain this sort of blatant disregard for the impact this would have on others is that he found the risk he was taking (risk both to himself and the community he represented) to be sexually thrilling.
See it’s weird since I would consider this a form of immortalization. Some artists are seeing this way, but very few. It seems crazy to me more artists aren’t being amazed that their entire style is now “canon”
I think the GP meant Lynch's world (universe) felt bigger, more mysterious. Like there were more things going on outside this story than could ever be told. Not that the physical size of things was too small. I think I agree a bit. But that universe is supposed to be small and claustrophobic I think? It is part of the lesson in the last few books. I liked the scifi miniseries the best but mostly for what came after the first book. Lynch's I liked when young, but even then I found the amount of internal narrative extremely irritating. The new one jas the problem of most every adaptation of a beloved and dense written work. It tries to serve existing fans and the casual viewer with the same movie. It does much better at that than anything but Jackson's lotr I think, but it is always hard.

It depends on the state, but typically you have like 30 hours of classroom learning, then six hours driving with an instructor, then like 50 hours of driving with a parent. They also have to pass a test, although that is often in the behind-the-wheel now. Nobody is buying a simulator.

IMO, your opinion more of a red flag than porn itself.

Porn doesn't affect employee performance.

Not directly, and not more than any other outside activity.

Being of the opinion that someone should be fired or not hired because of something that doesn't affect work performance is a handicap on your leadership and collaboration skills. IMO.
My favourite commercial flight was on a 787, that was one comfortable plane to fly on (they pressurise to a lower altitude than anything else I’d flown commercial) but every other flight I’ve got in the top ten was airbus.

Given the choice though I’d fly on an airbus with lower passenger comfort than any recent Boeing.

I never used to look at what aircraft it was but now I do and I avoid Boeing, that’s a strategic failure, don’t make customers think is a good rule.

That's how you want the regulators holding your existence as company in their hands, right? Pissed off and embarassed by you.
In the years since, manufacturing problems have emerged[1] not only in the 737 but at other factories where Boeing makes its 787 Dreamliner, a U.S. military refueling tanker and Air Force One replacement jets[2], as well as at some of its key suppliers.
