A key to understanding this is "type rating". Pilots are generally certified to fly 1-2 types of aircraft at a time. Budget airlines, in the US in particular, will try to maintain a single type rating across their entire fleet. This means planes are largely interchangeable with some exceptions (eg a given plane has to be certified to fly over open water on routes like Hawaii and to Europe). So any pilot can fly any plane in the fleet. That's great for keeping costs low and scheduling. As soon as you add a new type rating, you've created a second pool of planes and pilots that you need to manage.

Airbus surprised Boeing when it introduced the A320neo as this was very attractive to budget airlines who were loyal customers to the 737 over decades. There were multiple iterations of 737 up to the 737NG (to that point). Beoing had a choice: develop a new aircraft. This would take longer and wouldn't keep the same type rating so they'd lose their type rating lock-in with the likes of Southwest, who is a huge Boeing customer.

The compromise was the 737Max. It was faster to develop and deliberately designed to maintain the 737 type rating. But it had larger engines and they were moved forward on the plane. This could make stalls easier so Boeing (mostly) silently added a system to "handle" that. That was the infamous MCAS. Lack of knowledge about this and training was what caused the 2 crashes that grounded the Max fleet last time. This was exacerbated by the sensor having a single point of failure. Interestingly, there was an optional upgrade package to have 3 sensors instead of 1, which is more the industry norm for critical systems. 2 of the 3 sensors have to agree.

So Being solved a short term problem but created a long term problem as that 737 lock in was both a blessing and a curse. Existing customers liked the 737 but it was an aging plane that didn't fit changing standards with plane controls, engine design and so forth.

Also, to keep costs low, Boeing has increasingly over the last two decades relied on various layers of outsourcing.

Airbus simply isn't shackled with 50 year old designs like Boeing is. They've made mistakes too, most notably the A380 but between the A319/320/321 (neo and not), A330 and A350, Airbus has a really solid product line. Boeing's 777 was a workhorse for long range wide body aircraft in the same market as the A350. The 787 fits here too but it seems like it's not as popular as the 777 or A350. I could be wrong.

Lastly, Boeing's 747 was a massive cash cow for decades. This is what let them own the airplane market. But 4 engine planes no longer make economic sense. The same applies to the A380. So we have the 777/787/A350 instead.
Right but the part of the argument I quoted had nothing to do with repair costs: they were making the point that changes in FMV due to EV prices going down in general were forcing them to recognize bigger losses in salvage situations, since they have to re-value the car post-salvage based on current market prices.

So in this case they are basically writing off more value “for free”, because the loss is coming from a genuine loss in value of the asset, but since the asset is a car that may still provide the same amount of value back to Hertz and still last the same amount of time, it’s sort of a weird corner case where you could argue they haven’t really lost anything.

Of course that loss is offset by lower depreciation losses in the future, so it’s not like it’s coming out of nowhere.
MPPT will cause more shading, but if the gains outweigh the losses, cool (and with only 9 panels calculating that shading will be pretty fast).
My first thought was that making each panel articulate is a tough engineering problem when weight is a concern (but with smaller/more efficient panels like you suggest maybe it evens out on weight.).
It would be nice if compilers can lower this back to LL/SC if that’s what you actually wanted.
You better don’t look for the balance.

Our positions diverge because you take the extra-formal specification in mathematics as basis, and then say, "nah thats too formal", broadcasting is more natural. On the other hand I take elementary to undergrad mathematics as basis and say that rules about adding (using a standard '+' symbol) a scalar to a vector in numpy via broadcasting is confusing.
You can look up numbers for the White-tailed eagle population around Smøla wind power plant in Norway, if you want a concrete example.

You have a study there where they looked at bird deaths before and after painting a wind turbine blade black btw. Quite interesting.

The population in the area has been increasing. We know that the wind turbine sometimes kill eagles. But now that we aren't actively hunting them to extinction anymore, it seems like accidents like that has negligible impact on the total population.

I'm guessing (my personal opinion) that if the deaths is under a certain threshold, it's made up for the balance of hunter/prey. If some hunter animal dies, the prey population goes up, which helps boost the hunter population again.

Wind turbines is something which causes a death here and there. Similar to anything else in nature that can kill birds. Not something that obliterates an entire ecosystem. Given that you don't build them directly on top of nesting areas of course.

That said, I would LOVE to see more high quality studies on this topic. The more data the better. We should not accept serious long term compromises like we have with the oil and gas industry.

Wind turbines can be near perfect. We can put radar and camera systems on them to turn them off when birds come nearby. We can paint them in a way that birds see them better. We can make them from better and more sustainable materials. We can work on recycling of them. And since everyone, both environmentalists and the oil lobby, is pushing for wind turbines to be perfect to be acceptable, we're continuously moving in the right direction.

Well if it’s for learning, you can rent vms from hosting providers. That’s a fairly inexpensive way to learn about BGP with a global “toy” CDN.

I have a small ipv6 subnet I purchased for just this purpose. It was interesting setting everything up in multiple locations and seeing traffic routing around as I turned machines on and off.

I also set up my machines as a reverse proxy of a sort, a small fake CDN, and experimented with caching at different locations and moving content around.

I would have gotten a bit more serious about it, but I’m still on the waiting list for an ipv4 subnet after 2 years. And pretty sure it would be too expensive now. Would have to check though.

> Airbus has 3 flight computers (1 PRIM and two SECs) for fly by wire - they run same software with voting deciding outcomes of commands that comes from the pilot to the flight surfaces.

So a software bug could doom the plane?

IIRC, some other flight-control voting system have 3 computers, but one runs software developed independently from the others.

> Craig Murray identified complainants

He didn't. His reporting included facts that the police and judge claimed could be used to identify people. Many of these facts were also public knowledge anyone following the case likely already knew. These were the same police who brought the failed charges against Salmond. The entire case stinks of corruption and many people including Noam Chomsky have publically backed Murray.

I feel like all the articles are ignoring the important question: what kind of spiders? Obviously the roaches are dubias. Just hand those off to an employee at the nearest pet store and they'll be pleased as punch. What kind of spiders though? Cobweb spiders, jumping spiders, tarantulas? These are all very different situations. Heck, there's tarantulas that go for 100s of dollars. This could have been a thoughtful gift gone wrong.

In all seriousness these dudes thought they were the internet resale mafia and I've very much been enjoying reading how every piece of their plan blew up in their faces. They thought they were so damn slick. There's internet harassment and then there's sending a couple a book on how to deal with a spouse dying. Glad to see they're looking at jail time.
You're right. We must be civilized and restrained from emotion. All anger is to be reserved for "Hate Week".
It'd be fun (and a bit scary) to use an LLM as a shell replacement. We'd give it the history of our commands as per the recent post [0], as well as their outputs, and it would turn natural-language commands into proper bash. The xkcd comic [1] would be solved instantly. "Tar these files, please." "Delete all the temporary files but please please please don't delete anything else." I'm sure people have implemented this, but my searching isn't good enough to find it.

Ah I am sorry, seems like a comment was posted later (Jan 9th) providing a justification of their criteria. However, the reply comment it was posted on wasn't there when I first read the article and the comments on Jan 8th.
One of the big issues wrt "major development projects" is that engine manufacturers are working on pretty interesting concepts but it's not clear if they'll pan out, and that means if you lock in a program too early you might completely miss out on this new generation of engines and end up with a plane missing the market.

I don't think Airbus wants a repeat of the A380.

Plus last I'd checked Boeing declared they're not working on a new frame for at least a decade, and Airbus is competitive right now, so the incentive is limited: Comac is up and coming, but it's still a way away (and is missing the entire support network).

I know what they wrote.

I pointed out the CPS itself also prosecuted cases based on the bad evidence provided to them, so the procedural checks also did nothing.
Even if TIOBE wasn't garbage (and let's be clear: TIOBE is and always has been garbage for a litany of reasons), no such reference would exist, because the question is ill-specified.

Are you a non-technical manager? Then hire people who know the language your company has always used, or otherwise whatever languages your hiring pool is familiar with.

Are you a technical manager? Then you evaluate languages based on the intersection of hiring availability and technical merits.

Are you a student? Then use whatever language looks most interesting.

Are you an educator? Then use whatever language best expresses the concepts of the specific curriculum.

Are you an open source contributor? Then select a language to work in based on technical merits, personal taste, and community interaction.

"Popularity" is not one thing, it's dozens of things which all vary based on context.
While it's certainly not to my taste if it exposes more people to philosophy and helps them on the path to a calmer existence... why should we care?

If we can't expose philosophy to everyone.. then many are stuck with religion and that's not good for anyone.

I am not a conspiracy theorist, it's just a simple case of "follow the money". The fossil fuel industry is a trillion dollar per year business and their interest is to keep it this way. So poisoning the well is a good strategy for them. If you thought about it, it was clear the bird argument was always just a talking point nimby types were fed with, so they have something alarming to repeat and to get outraged, without really caring if it's true. The only thing they cared about is not having wind turbines because of their (weird?) aesthetic preferences and desires to have things stay the same forever. Ironically the bird and animal population overall are struggling with the way things are now and how they want to keep it. But again, they don't really care about that.
> from frozen sensors sending planes into both the Atlantic and the Mediterannean

It wasn't the sensors doing that, it was pilots misunderstanding what the frozen sensors are telling them, and what the plane is telling them. That's why the UX has been improved on that, and there's even an estimated airspeed via GPS now to give some indication to the pilots with the best available information.

Overall, I think this is a false equivalence and bad form of whataboutism. Boeing are caught, again, with shoddy manufacturing and design practices, and people harp on "But Airbus aren't better!". Even if they weren't, and they are better, why does it matter? Boeing have issues, those need to be fixed. If Airbus had issues, those have to be fixed too. And Airbus have been working on theirs (like the A350 paint problems or the UX that could be improved when sensors are out) which are, again, much less critical than Boeing's planes flying themselves into the ground or with parts flying off.
Right, and management (the lady's boss) has the perfect pretext for firing her himself :

"look, it's a layoff and my bosses', bosses' boss decided that they were using the closed deals metric to rank people and cut the bottom . Ibdont have a say in who I staying and who is leasing, but ill help you in everything I can"

Managers: grow the balls to fire your employees. Theres always a reason. And talking with your people may make you maintain a good relationship with them.

Yes, suggesting that we should slow/stop the transition to alternative fuel sources due to bird deaths in turbines is absolutely fossil fuel propaganda.

The real danger to birds (and humans, and all other wildlife) is not flying into turbines, but systemic failure caused by extremely rapid environmental changes. You know, the kind that fossil fuel consumption is causing.
‘Meditations’ is one of my favorite books. I revisit it almost yearly and each time I find new nuggets of wisdom. While videos like this may be useful for some people, I do think it’s worth reading the book on your own to form your own interpretation of it, especially since it isn’t a very long. If you like audiobooks I recommend the audiobook recording by Duncan Steen and George Long.
In 2023 California almost halted drilling permits, but mainly because the governor has national office ambitions and he was starting to get some criticism from the hypocrisy of having overseen 10000+ new oil permits during his tenure.
I could also kick him in the balls for playing Purple Rain as the FOURTH song in the tribute show in London, no sense of timing.

But yes, it was mainly his ongoing evil Jiminy Cricket act pushing Prince into more extreme religious views (see Kevin Smith talk about Prince putting fans into groups of believers and non-believers) and tactics that affected his health (painkillers vs surgery).

I only witnessed the tribute abberation in-person so certainly could only convict on the basis of that, perhaps a massive wedgie with an option to upgrade to a kick in the balls if he did indeed have a hand in the downward spiral.

There was and is immense pressure to retain type ratings. For example, both Ryanair and Southwest fly exclusively 737s and have enormous fleets. If type rating compatibility is lost, it's very plausible they could jump to Airbus.

Alas, psst can't help with that. With psst (or indeed any secret sharing scheme), there is a single secret which is only split while at rest. In order to actually make use of the secret, it needs to be recovered from the shares.

Your use-case would probably use other techniques, such as multi-signature schemes, multiparty computation, and zero knowledge proofs. Decentralized identity management is a difficult problem.

Most projects design CLIs wrong, CLIs should be interactive by default to maximize discovery, everything from the command selection, to option selection, to specific parameter enum or even searchable resource ids. A -y flag should force it to be non-interactive. This is what I did with seam-cli and the usage of command line tools over eg postman for interacting with our API exploded- a good interactive CLI is all you need. It helps to use a well-defined schema, or for an API company an OpenAPI schema, to keep the CLI up to date and to maximize it’s capabilities.

It could happen. Say, what if AMD released some chip using a popular new ISA, but offered acceleration for running code written for its legacy x86 ISA (which they have the rights to) as a differentiating feature.

This is IMHO a likely scenario as AMD tries to stay competitive while the world moves away from legacy x86 to a new ISA.

Setup a competitor to Cloudflare tunnel.

People want to host Internet services from their homes. They don't have static IPs, and/or they don't want to open their home IP address directly to the public, for good reason.

You can setup some wireguard servers with static IPs. Then people can tunnel their services running at home through your servers. They avoid the cost of having to pay for cloud hosting, and you provide a shield so that they aren't exposed.

Obviously, the IP addresses on their own aren't enough to make this work. You're going to need some computing infrastructure. But you won't need lots of storage and compute. You'll mostly need bandwidth and networking equipment. The thing is, getting IP addresses is harder than getting hardware and bandwidth. You already did the hard part.

Not often but sometimes.
I think your critiques are fair enough and I think the authors would likely agree they should have been more proactive with the data sharing.

Maybe it sounds like I'm parsing too much, but I nevertheless still think saying "no one knows what happened" is unfair. They know, they shared, and justified what they did when called on it with literally almost no delay. I agree they shouldn't need to be called on it.

Anyone who's advised students or asked even presenting researchers such questions know that often people will literally not know what happened to all their data.

Neoliberal means roughly the economic (and social) system/ideology we live in currently. A system that emphasizes relatively weakly regulated ("free") market and market-like structures as the way of allocating resources and production.

This can be contrasted to the preceding systems that had more regulation of markets and planned resource production and allocation. Roughly Keynesian or social democratic economics, with their associated view of social organization.

I remember the first time I came face to face with 777. When you show up to the gate expecting a 737, that 777 is incredible sitting there instead. Normally, you are pretty much looking down at the 737 from the gate, but you’re underneath the 777 and can’t even see the cockpit. It was really surprising since this was not a long haul flight.
What exactly does ‘fighting hard’ mean? I got the impression that the judges weren’t very impressed with at least some of their appearances in court.

Yes I was trying to be careful not to say that the ML-type approach was better than the incoming typed elixir approach. Just that it has well-understood limitations and tradeoffs that people are already familiar with, which is an advantage in certain situations.

But, and I'm certainly not a type systems expert, I think something like ocaml 5's algebraic effects can model anything in beam? I'm not a beam expert either though so maybe I'm wrong. It might be unusably hairy though.

Anyway though again I have high confidence that elixir will come up with an excellent type system for elixir. But a project starting from a well-understood type system and building towards beam will get a different result and I think that's likely also valuable.
