This is broken logic. Working primarily with averages leads directly to repeating the mistakes of the statistician who drown in a lake that was an average of three feet deep. Currently one of the notably large wind farms being operated is in the Altamont Pass in California which also happens to be the preferred spawning site for golden eagles. Does it make sense to assert that since wind farms are generally beneficial that we should not worry about drastically reducing or even eliminating golden eagles in California? The issue isn't wind farms or fossil fuels, it is exactly how we should build and maintain these wind farms and where. Using the critically needed energy transition to wipe out species of wild animals may not be an appropriate strategy.

This is the whole reason for the 737 Max debacle. They tried to keep the controls the same so pilots wouldn’t need retraining, even though the plane was very different. They tried to paper over the differences in software. And hundreds died.

The commands during air shows are mostly performative. Boeing probably wanted to cater middle east/asian investors in 2023. When Airbus launched the 320neo, they did the same, waiting months before announcing the commands to 'beat' Boeing during the Bourget, even though Boeing had more commands the 5+ following years.

> It is well known agriculture (and we really mean animal agriculture) produces more greenhouse gases than the fossil fuel industry.

Agriculture is a fossil fuel industry. The fertilizer it depends on comes from fossil fuel, the machines that till the fields run on fossil fuel, etc.

"The food system accounts for a large share of fossil fuel consumption in the United States, and energy accounts for a substantial and highly variable share of food costs."

It's also not an either/or scenario. Both fossil fuel use and cow farts cause said climate change.

> I am so done with "awful but lots of money." I won't even do boring but lots of money any more.

This is rich thinking. Most people that I met from developing countries who grew up poor would sell their soul for shitty unfulfilling work that pays huge salary / bonus / stock. I cannot blame them; I would do the same in their situation. I don't pass (too much) judgement on where and why people work. Mostly, it is a luxury to decide when / where / how you work, including for less than the maximum that you can be paid.

Personally, my biggest professional problem is that I get bored on a project after two years. It is incredibly rare in my career to stay more than four years on the same project. Yet, time and time again, my managers are surprised when I resign for a new role.

It was a bunch of different bugs

We're trying to figure out the architecture over on this other thread - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38954516

But basically it was based on a sortof replicated XML database that sent text files back and forth, so the basics of synchronisation and consensus were just not covered properly. e.g. if someone kept pressing a key when the screen was frozen, duplicate transactions got created. Or if they turned their machine off earlier than 5pm, end-of-day processes did not get run properly. Or if their node was trying to synchronise with the central node a bit later than normal and the central node was doing a 'reindexing' operation, their messages got lost. Lots of edge case synronisation bugs basically.

edit: also here's a good computerphile video about the bugs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBJm9ZYqL10

Air France 447 is a famous one.

Not only does Southwest exclusively fly Boeing aircraft, they exclusively fly 737s, which enables their unusual routing style. Essentially every pilot and crew at Southwest can fly any aircraft the company has for them.
Presumably this gives Boeing a strong incentive to keep making new 737s that push the engineering envelope, instead of making a new narrowbody aircraft.

I have a tangential question to this whole debacle: I'm a developer who worked on a lot of safety critical stuff. I think I know a lot about that. But never worked with "money stuff". What are the best practices in this regard?

I understand this whole thing is not just a software development failure. But it also feels as if the Fujitsu developers had done a better job we wouldn't be having the whole debacle.

So what are the best practices with a system like this? Are there good and practical books for example on the topic?

> Saying it was an "ethics ... based institution" is challenging for me - it implies right and wrong, which requires someone to decide what is right and what is wrong.

Ethics here don't mean anything metaphysical. They mean something like "professional ethics" or even "taking pride of your work". More generally some shared (and maybe internalized) view of what's good/acceptable/bad behavior in a community. E.g. in medicine this is/was sort of codified in the hippocratic oath.

In such a system reputation stems (at least ideally) from how well the actors (individual or institutional) behave in terms of these ethics. This of course has its own set of problems and may lead to (other) forms of corruption. But IMHO it's less bad than the neoliberal model where individual actors should focus on their individual career success "by any means necessary" and just trust that "science is self correcting".
There’s a difference between actual leftism and social liberalism. A lot of the members of the board of directors at those universities have close ties to big financial institutions and the department of defense.

When big corporations espouse socially liberal ideas, they’re chasing public sentiment, not the other way around.

For the airlines it's not about safety it's about reliable flight hours. Boeing right now have to ground their planes way more haphazardly than Airbus.

The issues mentioned here about Airbus are manageable, they're not unforeseen parts falling off the plane suddenly.
> A lot of the reporting is using Alaska Airlines, because it was their flight.

I don’t disagree, it just wasn’t obvious - to me - what was being referred to originally. I think it’s because lexically/conceptually I don’t associate the issue with any particular airline, as it seems the through line is that they are specifically Boeing planes of a certain series with these issues, and not due to any particular airline or servicing or lack thereof, but rather, a defect in the original design as specified and/or a flaw or oversight in production. Considering the frequency and impact of the issues, I’m inclined to believe it’s a bit of both.

Why is it ridiculous? The goal of a computer program is to solve a problem. The Perl script solves the problem. It handles all of the weird edge cases a re-write would rediscover. Re-writing it would take engineer time away from other priorities. And a re-write in a new language offers no guarantee that Microsoft wouldn't find themselves in the exact same situation 10 years hence if the language they chose for the re-write falls out of favor.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

That's an interpretation, sure, i'm not even arguing against it, i truly do not care either way.

All i was pointing out is that leaving out a section of a sentence you are trying to explain your interpretation of is not a good way to convey that you are arguing in good faith.

Especially when that section could be thought of as not neatly fitting in to the narrative you are trying to explain.
> Lists, dictionaries, strings (none of which is of any use to scientific computing)

Disagree on this one. In my experience, the computational kernels of our newer scientific & engineering codes (Fortran or C++) are almost never invoked as standalone applications, and are instead embedded within much more complex workflows that are orchestrated with a Python API or Java application. The string handling, data containers, and support for standard file formats in these higher level languages are indispensable at this level, and add negligible overhead compared to the computational expense of the main solvers. Yes, these things are more ephemeral, but they are also more interchangeable. Confining them to a higher abstraction layer lets you more cleanly decouple this stuff from the essential numerical parts of the code.

The historical lack of support for these basic amenities in Fortran (and the C-family to a lesser extent) has resulted in the need to maintain innumerable ad-hoc I/O formats, home-rolled nonstandard parsers, and other bizarre, Rube Goldberg-like abuses of the language. Since the original developers of these legacy codes were scientists and engineers first, and developers second, these constructs inevitably wind up being tightly coupled to a larger, organization-spanning workflow whose input-output mapping has remained bitwise identical for three decades, and must continue to do so for just as many more.

Higher-level languages like Python have greatly alleviated this nightmare, at least on a go-forward basis.
I also wonder what responsibility the courts hold, seeing as folks were prosecuted and jailed on just IT evidence.

I mean how in the world can you accuse and convict someone of theft when there is zero evidence outside of the IT system. And how in the world was the IT system never scrutinized?

I personally think the prosecutions were a sign of the times when people were still far too trusting of computer systems. I feel like these days, everyone would realize that there would be at least reasonable doubt as to the accuracy of the system, yet when these prosecutions were mostly taking place it feels like everyone just assumed the system was perfect.
I don't know why sentry ads is popping up so often on Reddit. And they even turn off commenting. Very unusual for an open source developer tool.
I judge the headline as clickbait as well, and skipped reading it because of it.

Sounds like I made the right decision based on other comments.

It (probably) could've easily said, in say one to ten words, what actually happened, in the headline, so that I could decide whether I wanted to read into the details or whether it didn't interest me at all.

With the headline being "something happened" and you'll have to read multiple paragraphs before you find out anything at all, I'm immediately put off. I feel like my time is being wasted.

Entice me by describing an interesting outcome in the headline, that I want to read more about, or inform me, in the headline, that it's not an article for me.

Attempting to artificially drive more traffic and eyeballs to an article, by withholding details in the headline of what it is about, is the definition of clickbait in my book.

Np. India is a federal democracy like the US. The same kind of state-federal clashes that happen in the US happen in India.

Think of Indian democracy as being similar to American democracy in the 1890s-1930s, when local despots like Huey Long and populists like William Jennings Bryan roamed the planet.

Yep. In other states they either will get raided by the Federal Police (eg. CBI) or the economics of running a call center doesn't make sense.

To run a scamming call center you need a low cost English speaking population AND Political Backing. Most states in India will have 1, but not 2 (or at least, not for call centers).

> It's also notable that the term "file" most likely derives more from the concept of a paper file

Yes, that's right. The dictionary defines file as "a folder or box for holding loose papers that are typically arranged in a particular order for easy reference." Which is literally what a box of punchcards is – hence how the word made its way into computing.

Obviously modern computers do not actually use files in any way. All we have today is a loose abstraction that pretends to represent a file, and within that abstraction Unix-like systems place processes and TCP connections. These are all files in the abstracted sense. Other systems may choose to do things differently. Again, modern computers don't have actual files, just a pretending that they do.

For better or worse, we have come to agree that abstraction can also be named "file", even if it is not actually a box full of paper. Which is true of a lot of things in computing. It turns out that floppy disk button you often see doesn't have anything to do with floppy disks. Hard to believe, I know.

I am sorry that’s been your experience, maybe it varies by field and quality of research? Most people I’ve questioned have provided reasonable answers to their findings. I don’t understand why anything needs to be assumed in bad faith or shoddily done. It’s all a bit Dunning-Kruger to me where everyone assumes that everyone else is doing shoddy or bad work.

The energy storage provides generation at night, of course.
