true, but whether that is an issue really depends on how involved and cooperative the parents are. presumably if parents are looking for private foster places they are able to be involved when needed, like register kids for school. the doctor should also be manageable, otherwise i could not even send my kids to their grandparents for the holidays. so i think in most cases this should work out. no doubt however there are cases where it doesn't. but in such cases government involvement is probably warranted anyways.
I appreciate the thorough response. I experienced a variation on the thunder/flash challenge response when a group from work played night paintball after work one Friday night. The other team established a code: 'Pizza' was the challenge, and if the other person didn't answer 'Hut' they'd be splatted. I thought it was really clever and only learned about thunder/flash and shibboleths later.

Randomly picked Hawaiian airlines to see what mechanical failures their aircraft have had and I get this list:

- Most recent in 2023: significant problems and disruptions due to problems with the Pratt & Whitney PW1100G engines in their A320neo aircraft - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pratt_%26_Whitney_PW1000G

- Mid-air diversions: several Hawaiian Airlines flights forced to divert to different airports due to mechanical problems. One example is Flight 383 from Honolulu to Kauai and had to return to Honolulu shortly after takeoff due to unspecified issues - https://liveandletsfly.com/hawaiian-airlines-lax-diversion/

- 1994: Flight 481 experience complete hydraulic system failure en route from Maui to Honolulu - https://archives.starbulletin.com/2000/12/25/news/story3.htm...

etc.
And “They added a lock to the exit hatch”

For a good portion of this article I thought the answer was “We don’t know”. It ambles around so leisurely and stop-start that it feels like reading ChatGPT output.
Their CEO Enrique Lores looks to have made around $20M a year since 2019, not counting 2020 where he only made $6M.

At ~$66M he probably doesn't need to care about long-term reputation.
I don't know how much long ago was "When I was much younger" but even if we go as far back as the 1960s and look at the Artificial Intelligence scientific literature of that time, you'd find the understanding of what the terms they defined back then to be something far closer to what we have now, not your expectation of "the general AI that you can put in a robot body and it can learn to clean, cook, repair and chat with you"; and the philosophy has always been a key part of the science of AI even before I was born.

I'm not seeing any drift of terms here - the only thing that seems to be happening for AI and AGI terms is correcting for what has happened in the sci-fi media and bringing the usage back to what it always has been in the computer science literature, now that it's closer to reality than mere fiction.
> but if a sufficient number of people make airlines uncomfortable they will increase the pressure on Boeing to improve their processes

I hear this sentiment a lot. And logically, it is true. But maybe it's my cynic nature, but isn't this like counting on a natural disaster level of impossible? This is something which can happen but has happened in history very few times (I personally can't think of any instances, but there has to be some company ruined by a boycott). I am not saying you are wrong, but I find this a naive view.

Edit: Let me clarify a bit. I am not saying companies have not taken feedback through what sells and doesn't sell, that of course happens. But I don't know of many instances where individuals spontaneously or otherwise caused a company to change their internal structures and processes. The implication that consumers have a knob to finetune a company process is what I disagree with.
We are also seeing an immense mismatch between worker productivity vs salaries. Per worker productivity has increased a lot since the 80s but most of the value added hasn't been translated into wages but captured by the capital elite.

While this happens it doesn't matter so much that societies adapt their skillsets, workers will keep experiencing wages depressed relative to their productivity. At some point this will completely break the social contract.
"suggesting it's worthless without sales / marketing /etc. I don't think that's true."

Code is not worthless but it almost is without sales/marketing/talking to customers. If I could split the value, it would be 90% sales/marketing/customer validation and 10% code. I run a low 7 figure bootstrapped SAAS (not open source) and I can tell you that code is mostly shit anyway and keeps evolving.

A credit does, but a deduction does not. I'm not sure where the previous commenter is getting this information from, since I can't find any documentation of a 135% tax deduction for R&D in Switzerland anywhere online, but if it is a deduction and not a credit, it means that it just offsets taxes on other income.
It's actually even less successful if that's the metric. The people who care about how it works are mostly on Masto. BlueSky has a dedicated user base, but it's not among protocol nerds.
Also if enough people start doing this wouldn't the airlines just stop reporting what the plane is.

Which I guess is ok on a small scale but if AGI starts to replace all human jobs it will have a different effect to Waymo firing some drivers and hiring AI researchers.
My point here wasn't to say that Rust is as good or powerful as the advanced pure functional languages like Haskell and Ocaml and Idris, but that it's starting the process of properly bringing their power and features to the systems programming world, which I think is what's important.

You can get pay go phone contracts. They charge more on a per unit basis than unmetered of course.

Looking on Wikipedia I see that QR code was invented in 1994 by a Japanese automotive components manufacturer to label car parts.

I wonder if QR code was invented today, could it be improved? Maybe for compactness? Ease of read?
It’s probably easier to define “a Chinese company” as one which is under jurisdiction of CCP regardless of their geographical location - similar to a US citizen having to pay tax even if they never intend to touch US soil again.

I guess design is more about the amount of emotion evoked, rather than the quality of emotion evoked. Destruction is easier than creation.

Creating something so ugly that it induces a negative emotion is probably easier than creating something so beautiful that it induces a positive emotion.

That would also explain modern UI design.
Same here. However I do not believe things will recover, at least in a reasonable time frame for my own career. My thinking is now if this current job ends I need to think about exiting the industry and doing something else.

I have not had to buy a printer for a long time, but last I did research on the matter it was Brother all the way.
"He allegedly opened the door of the Asiana Airlines plane when it was 700 feet (213 metres) above the ground."

That's a key point - at cruising altitude you'd need to push an equivalent of 2 tonnes of weight to open it - it's just not happening. Obviously even at 200 metres up in the air I bet it was incredibly scary.
The problem with that, as I understand it, is that your 3d print (or any print or screen) cannot get damaged at all. The pixels being bigger makes it easier to scan ...when it's fully in view and fully intact. Any pixel fails, and you can never recover the original data (besides some guesses, e.g. if the protocol identifier gets damaged a la htwps://)

Error correction doesn't seem to be for easier scanning, but for errors that might occur

Several years back, I took a trip to a casino up in Connecticut. I'm not big into gambling, but my brother-in-law's mother was a high roller. She got an extra room for free, so we figured why not take advantage of it.

We didn't spend much time with her while we were there, but on the last night she wanted to join us with some of her friends for dinner. Since I was going to be having dinner with a group of old retired ladies, I figured we could just make some polite small talk with them and be on our way after the meal.

After we ordered drinks, one of them turns to me and says "now what do you do for work?" I said "oh I work with computers", a simple generic phrase I use when talking with older people. She says "oh that's interesting, what specifically?" When I told her I was a software engineer, her face lights up and she points around the room and says "oh that's wonderful - we all did that as well, we worked at a company called Bell Labs. Have you heard of it?"

I just about fell out of my chair. For the rest of the night I was asking them all sorts of questions about their work. They were around back when you'd program using punch cards and all that stuff. It was a very cool experience - one of my favorite memories.
most wifi is probably 2 orders of magnitude faster than bluetooth transfer. Syncthing is great if you're looking for multiplatform syncing of files.

AGPL is absolutely free software as long as the GPL is considered free software and should not be put into comparison with licenses like the BSL.

The only real limitation on the AGPL compared to the GPL is section 13 which states that you need to make the sources for said AGPL program available to any user who interacts with it. Otherwise the license is practically identical. Otherwise the license is essentially identical to the GPL.

If you diff the licenses, you'll see that other than section 13 and s/GPL/AGPL/g, the actual license terms are identical (if you diff sections 0-12, only the addition of the word Affero to the first line of section 0 will come up). The preamble and afterwords are different but they aren't actually part of the license (only the sections between the lines `TERMS AND CONDITIONS` and `END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS`). As for the differences in those sections, the preamble provides context for why the license exists compared to the GPL and the afterwords provide a recommendation as to how to provide source access.

So in effect the AGPL is identical to the GPL with the addition of requiring that you make sources available to any user "interacting with it remotely over a computer network". Contrary to popular belief this doesn't mean you need to provide sources for everything that touches it over a network, just that anybody/anything that interacts with it over a network be granted access to the AGPL source (and corresponding sources). The requirement for what is considered part of corresponding sources is exactly identical.

That requirement:

> The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to control those activities. However, it does not include the work's System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source includes interface definition files associated with source files for the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those subprograms and other parts of the work.

TLDR: The only practical change in the licenses for a piece of hosted software is that under the GPL the user is the server operator/host and under the AGPL the user is the actual user/client. Whether a given piece of software gets "contaminated" by a AGPL work is no different than if said AGPL work was licensed under the GPL instead.
It's possible we worked together.

The difficulty of git is that it can do so much in so many different ways. What's actually needed is something like a linter for git workflow, where an org can enforce an opinionated subset of git's capabilities in a prescribed order of operations.

It's not about trusting coworkers, it's about creating the right security habits so you don't leave your computer unlocked in situations where it is easily compromised.

Please explain in what way it is racist to say that China is known for copying western technology. You may not agree with the statement but that does not make it racist, just untrue in your opinion.

The mere fact that something does not fit your desired narrative does not imply it is racist or some other form of -ist. It just makes it not fit your desired narrative. Were I Chinese I'd think '白左' on reading your post.

> as the individualized marketing itself doesn't seem to make much difference

Are you saying individualized marketing is no more effective than generic mass advertising, in the same answer where you write it's been a money maker for Facebook and "all these other companies"

I know, and I'm saying in politics it should be banned. Some countries have strict rules for the types of advertising politicians can use, America is not one of these countries.

1. git is not hard if you learn it

2. I regularly see people storing multiple gigabyte files in git..
I don't understand your issue with large files.

3. cloud native? why? part of the point of git is to have a repo decentralized away from centralized clouds onto dev's machines, if your data scientist broke git then that means your main branch configuration is off, no one else had that cloned onto their machines, and the rest of you don't know how to recover lost data which is stored in the reflog.... even ignoring the lack of simple CICD.

4. > Diversion is built on top of distributed storage and databases, accessible via REST API, and runs on serverless cloud infrastructure

What!?!?!? That is NOT a selling point....all that for a VCS?

You're literally taking everything that makes git great and saying that's what's wrong with git.

The only case you could make to sell this is maybe some sort of a high-end niche specific media heavy version control for storage intense users.

I would think that this is a college project but apparently you guys have a team size of 9 according to the website!!!

In a similar spirit, Apple seems to have made sure some critical OSX idioms were fast on the M1, perhaps even influencing their instruction set.

Retaining and releasing an NSObject took ~6.5 nanoseconds on the M1 when it came out, comparing with ~30 nanoseconds on the equiv gen Intel.

In fact, the M1 _emulated_ an Intel retaining and releasing an NSObject fast than an Intel could!

I'm about 5 years behind you, career-wise, and have been transitioning to that way of thinking the past several years and am now in a position to actually get to do it. It is weird to realize that coding, while I still kinda like it, feels like a waste of time. By that I mean too little of an impact. It's fun, but stressful, in this "new" role. I'm still debugging systems, but I now include the human/organizational element. Not really a manager, but not really an engineer either. Very strange - any advice?

I think that's basic social behavior these days but I don't know if its basic human behavior. Maybe I'm just an outlier, but I honestly can't think of a time when I wanted to silence someone because I disagreed with their opinion.

Say whatever you want, no one else should be able to stop that. And yes, unfortunately that opens the door for people to say things that a vast majority of us would disagree with to the point of thinking it dangerous. Unfortunately that's the price for free speech, drawing a line through a sea of gray area is an impossible task.

So, you could certainly argue that the Max is a result of a fixation on _short-term_ profit; it was arguably an attempt to push an existing design maybe a bit too far, rather than taking the short-term hit and designing a modern competitive plane in the size category. The trouble with that is, the payoff period is longer, so if the decision makers are overly fixated on “number goes up”, well.
They can know what they sell. I just don’t think the default should let them know who they sell to.
The article was interesting, but wow, reading that page used up 20% of my battery and required a reboot stop whatever it was causing excessive lag throughout the OS. I’ve noticed news sites are basically unusable on mobile. Sure I’m using an iPhone 7, but it’s fine for every other use except news site. If even Ars is this user hostile, I think I have to consider news sites as fundamentally user-antogonistic, and not to be used without an ad blocker. (Unlike what iOS allows)
Disclaimer: I am designing a Git alternative too.

Maybe "cloud native" will have a pull for game companies, but I am not so sure. I think a lot of studios would want to self-host.

"Git compatible" is an interesting phrase; does Diversion use the same type of backing store? If so, I am not so sure it will handle large files as well as hoped.

I had to solve this problem myself, and I did, but it required a different storage design.

Can it handle binary files? Is there a plan for doing so beyond "commit the entire file every time" or "use xdelta"?

I think this is how fourth gen version control systems will be defined. Game studios have a lot of binary assets, so this will be important.

All in all, I could see a product like this succeeding, but I think taking VC money was a mistake because there may not be enough space in the market for a company that has to keep growing to satisfy investors. I am taking zero VC, and that will allow me to make money on as few as three clients.

Anyway, I wish you both the best of luck!
