Not sure what you mean by American airlines not buying new planes. In 2011:

https://boeing.mediaroom.com/2011-12-13-Boeing-737-MAX-Logs-...

-- Southwest orders 150 737 MAX airplanes and 58 Next-Generation 737s

-- Southwest becomes launch customer; scheduled to take first 737 MAX delivery

-- Largest firm order in Boeing history

Since then, they operate 223 of the 737 MAX (16% of deliveries) and have 495 on order, which is about 10% of total orders. At a single airline. United has 159 and has 388 on order. Then comes Ryanair with 136 delivered and 374 ordered. These are not third world airlines.
Gates' book "The Road Ahead" came with a "multimedia" CD.

What you see in that CD is a really good prediction of what came a few years later.
The argument is that autofill makes it so easy, that users accept it and companies are more likely to adopt SMS-based flows, right? Autofill doesn't seem inherently bad.
Arguably BeOS/Haiku could count too. It’s less obvious later and with experience with Linux stacking WMs, but it was pretty obviously a different lineage at the time.
Confusingly, that wikipedia page cites the same IBTrACS system that I referred to, and in that page[0] the max intensity is listed at 213 knots. The data shows that the 213 knot speed was seen for measurements across twelve hours on 1958-09-24.

Wow, I love how the physical copies of Fabrica are as interesting as their author and their historical context and importance to Western medicine.

Another interesting copy is the one bound in human skin at Brown.
A lot of businesses in the US use social media instead. I often see Instagram being used. Consumers can message them on Instagram and get responses on there. WhatsApp, in my experience, is more widely used in Europe.
If you don't mind my asking where are you based? I am interested in building a consulting business but all my contacts are in industries that are regulated and don't really hire individual consultants. So Upwork and places like it seem attractive but seem like such a race to the bottom due to the saturation of developers from third world countries there.
Most Americans don't! I'm sure HN commenters from the US fly internationally more often than the average American, but still.

And the poster upthread talked about airlines operating in the US, not just US airlines. That would include, e.g. airlines from EU countries that fly to the US, and even have some domestic hops here.
Well, Netflix was famous for firing when the business need had passed. You have a seat in company for what you will do, not what you have done.

These high speed trading platforms do a ton of transactions in 48 hours. They assume nothing material will change in 6 months vs 48 hours; and anyways if it breaks why keep paying the dude who built it so flimsy?

Not my way of doing things of all, to be clear, just my interpretation of the “we are a team not a family” implementation. https://www.fastcompany.com/3056662/she-created-netflixs-cul...

And how long would it take for the person to get up to speed on the code for such software that in production and may have critical bugs that need fixing now?
There are people out there who see the entire world as "fuck you, I'll get mine". They are socialized into such circumstances and so tolerate or even seek them out as some kind of validation of their social-Darwinist ideology.
I think it's safe to say that the commenter's observations about airlines operating in the US mostly apply to airlines operating in Europe, for example. That should push us well over 50%.
Gorgeous! Refreshing randomizes it
Thanks for highlighting this initiative, I'll add it to the article. And Done.
Your foundational premise is that good cops don’t exist because they’re part of a system. It’s an awful convenient argument because it lacks refutability.

Are you a butcher because you eat meat? Are you a zionist because your tax dollars fun Isreal? Do you steal documents from poor workers because you buy the products they make?

You are part of many systems. So are police officers. They are not any more at fault for the injustices of law enforcement as you are for living the way you do.
> such as the far-more secure use of email for verification

Hmm.. sure?
They have different threat profile. Don't think it is more secure.
If that did start happening, it's not like the people from the past would just pop up suddenly. We would be aware of their journey. It's not like a time machine where someone just disappears from the past and appears in the future.
Well, I think I understand your sentiment. You believe it's racket because it hasn't happened yet, so it's just FUD?

I guess it could be, but is it worth ignoring the risk if it isn't just some FUD?

This is second-hand anecdotal, but: there are already agricultural issues in Croatia, and the people aren't sure why. A good suspect is global warming, and assuming it is, it probably isn't an isolated case either

I know there's lots of politicking and bickering around global warming, but IMO this is something worth putting differences aside to get to the bottom of, and how much of an impact it might have on the planet (and by extension people)
This really sucks for this human, capital markets do what they do... ruthlessly find alpha.

I read a paper on the topic a few years back. My recollection is that once you go faster than about 0.3c it becomes impossible to shed heat faster than you gain it from collisions with Helium. I'll try to dig it up.
Interesting, I hadn't heard of WUFFS before now. Thanks for telling me about it.
Super! So far that’s all we support for layout and we love that it’s also super-low-barrier to entry OSS.
> Nobody in the right mind will fire key software engineer 48 hours after system goes live.

Lots of companies and people treat software as physical goods (where it's done it's done) and that everyone is easily replaceable. I've seen many managers not consider uniqueness or the situation but simply we have an engineer with x years of experience so a similar 1 will work just the same.
Not to mention a variety of music synthesizers as well!
>Nobody in the right mind will fire key software engineer 48 hours after system goes live.

Thats the thing. Hedge funds are not managed by people in their right minds
I think it's worth giving praise for their contributions to Flux.

In my network, I'm the only one using ArgoCD. Supposedly they're equals, but it always made me curious to try Flux.

Are there any statements about the future of Flux and other open source tools, and whether the remaining community has enough resources to maintain development, or if they will reduce their contributions to only fixing critical bugs?
Did you ask them if they tried Papr Memory?

> It’s not like we have many better options right?

one could always decide to just not to (YAGNI).
Or just make it harder to get a new sim card. Why is this so difficult? Only send the card to the correct address etc.
> And how long would it take for the person to get up to speed on the code for such software

If only this is more understood. I've been on both ends and as the newcomer you rarely get any ramp up time and management assume you'd know what you're doing in 5 minutes.
By that logic, consumers and tech companies won't change either and we can bypass this whole discussion.

I live in a part of the world where, on occasion, governments decide to regulate such things.
It depends on your environment and on the person. But personally for me, the concept of actually being able to physically walk around in a spatial computing environment, and manipulate windows to change different things appeals to my ADD side. I like physically walking around and pacing as I work anyway and this gives me the opportunity to do it by simulating essentially multiple visual input interfaces all over my house.

Being anchored to a single desk and computer exacerbates what is already effectively a fairly sedentary occupation.

Netflix is estimated to be ~10% of global Internet traffic. I'm pretty sure you can't just buy that off the shelf from a CDN, or from AWS for that matter. They're their own CDN. I would guess it's command and control, encoding, and distribution to edge cache servers.
Thats a strawman fallacy. You can control not writing your sticky note.

You cant control a sim swap attack.
While that is probably most sensible, it doesn't seem like a lot of fun. Instead, I recommend we call a new global conference, every few years, to discuss the addition of each individual natural number to the Saffir-Simpson scale.
Apologies on the lay reply.

Your app is significantly bigger than ours, so grain of salt.

We play very close attention to what's loaded on startup. There are two key tricks.

1. Heavy libraries/packages load at runtime and are only in the "background job" codepath.

def my_heavy_func():
from heavy_library import sum_heavy_function

sum_heavy_function()

vs the import at top of file.

2. Limit which apps are loaded via `INSTALLED_APPS`, again no heavy packages.

Lambda is SUPER nice for us. The bottleneck becomes the DB. Webserver can basically never go down on its own as you can create 1000x by default.

Best of Luck!
Sorry, not quite sure what you’re asking. Mind rephrasing?
Just keep in mind that a business's role in society is to deliver something and bring in a profit. So if you don't bring revenue directly to the bottom line you are in line for layoffs. Don't fall in love with your job. The business is not in love with you.

I suspect the fund's trading strategy was less than great so they had to cut expenses ASAP. I can't imagine why they would get rid of the person who would have to maintain the code, if they didn't need to do it. There is no such thing as a no need for maintenance code. If I was the CEO, I would have been terrified if the code was running without someone to make sure it was running correctly.
We use BQ quite extensively there are a number of billing tuning options which are not that well documented.

1. for some it will make sense to move to pricing based on CPU time per query vs billing on scanned TB of data. This can be done through the commits in UI.

2. there is option to have storage billed on logical or physical bytes. If you have data with a lot of duplication (enums, customer ids etc) then physical billing can be a lot better option. Last I looked this was only available through CLI setting in dataset and you may need to ask Google to include you in their beta.
We lowered our billing with 30% for storage.

I try to keep an eye on GCP release notes to find things like the physical vs logical billing.
If you really want to fire someone, you're willing to bleed a little (or a lot) to do it. I've seen key personnel be let go, followed by a scramble to figure out what only they know.

In this case it sounds like a "junior quant" who built an application in "months of hard work" while working 12hrs x 7days, and using technologies they learned on the fly. Sounds like me in my 20s, but I wasn't as indispensable as I thought I was.
In any case, that's not as hard to replace as the sysadmin who's been there for 10 years.

From a different perspective, it's kind of like paying a contractor or offshore. You don't usually keep them on board after the deliverable, you hand it over to the in-house team to maintain it.
im interested too... im guessing there's some Kali linux utils for doing just this?

So: success changes conditions, which can in turn create success, or not.

In governance, the question is what to do about leaders using their power to create conditions to ensure their own leadership - who guards the guardians?

The benefits accruing to information asymmetry in leadership is unavoidable, but most mitigations involve transparency: patents to disclose innovation, and corporate governance laws to protect shareholders and stakeholders and increase agency. Obviously, these can be inverted to protect leaders.

So the rate of compounding is larger when control over technology is isolated to effective leaders, but the distribution of benefits is TBD - indeed, such control typically creates a franchise over necessities - communications, finances, transportation, computing - to extract rents.

Then previously fair markets or governments are dominated by large players with the resources to starve newcomers of any gains accruing to innovation.

In recorded history, this is how it's been, limited only by human foresight and self-interest. That's being overcome by organizations and now by AI, but both are programming in the same self-interested model because there's no accepted model for social justice. Social governance models require social consensus and enforcement, neither of which are forthcoming. In this respect democracies are the easier to disable, ironically.
At the risk of sounding pretty negative to someone who wants to make the world of EDA better, this really seems like a re-discovery of a text netlist with the idea of making it 'easier' to create schematics but I feel like it's DOA for anything non-trivial.

Most PCB tools have the user create the schematics graphically, but the actual 'design' is usually a text netlist already or the tools let you export the netlist to an industry format such as EDIF.

SPICE netlists (for example) are also purely text-based, and while many of my EE professors could actually "think in SPICE" (i.e. go from a schematic of a circuit to directly writing in SPICE) for me and pretty much everyone else it was unbelivably painful to modify a SPICE netlist as you went from a simple inverter to something even "basic" as a two-transistor BJT current-mirror. You want to now copy+paste the design six times? Now you have 6x netlist re-naming fun.

One of the reasons why non-trivial schematics are done graphically is you can more easily grasp the intent of the design and make "complex" designs very clear. In my opinion, it's a reason why a well designed block diagram is worth 10x access to the "design" whether it's RTL or C -- you get an understanding WHY someone did something not just the what.

Example, you might put resistors in-series on a bus to provide termination (best done at the source/driver) ; what would that look like in this new text-based schematic language? What if I have series termination resistors on the bus, thevenin termination on the far-end and then a pull-down strapping resistor as well? The block of text will grow quickly without much clarity. I don't doubt it will be functional, but there will be no mental model of what this is supposed to look like, and further why all of these components are there. A well drawn schematic* will make this overt.

Another simple example might be a single-supply op-amp which usually has a few resistors to bias the signal correctly. It will easily end up being MANY lines of text and it won't all together be clear which lines of text associated with the op-amp correspond to an intent.

I have about 20-years of doings electronics, FPGAs, boards, C/C++, SoC architecture and DevOps with a formal education in both HW+SW. I could be an example of "the old guard" but in my career I've usually been the one to champion newer/smarter better tools and applicable domain-specific-languages so much so I pivoted my career in this very area for a number of years.

*Most schematics, and reference designs are a jumbled mess of wires and symbols. While highly subjective, a good schematic breaks logical function into symbols by function, groups related components intelligently and employs a good number of notes on the schematic.
But critically, having done that, you still won't be going >=1.0C relative to the road.

Lack of empathy is what causes the hubris (stupidity?) that would lead one to believe the person who built the system is expendable.

I have also been in a job where once the project reached a certian point I was fired. They gave me a song and dance about building a tech culture and sustainable development.

It was all lies. They knew when they were going to fire me the day they hired me. Once their demo worked, everything went off the rails. There was no real business plan just hype and bullshit. No wonder they had no idea what to do next.

Sometimes it's a blessing in disguise when you get shit canned at these jobs but you can't pay the bills with moral victories

Don't posts also say "[dead]" when they reach -4?
There is a straightforward manner to overtake your phone number (call your carrier and use social engineering). There is nothing you, the customer, can do to lock that down. (I've tried with my carrier.)

With email, you can lock that down with robust 2FA (Google Authenticator/Authy/etc) and crooks have no straightforward way of defeating that.

This is how it plays out year after year and why SIM-swap gangs are so prevalent.
Whether the technique described here will actually be faster is pretty application-dependent. The problem is that, on x86, shuffle instructions are the bottleneck for many algorithms (at least the type that I often work with). Storing constants this way requires adding an extra shuffle each time that you need to broadcast one of the constants back to a vector register, which exacerbates the bottleneck. In these cases, I’ve found that light spilling to the stack actually performs better.
I would agree: while not impossible, it seems like some key information is missing.

On the one hand I would definitely expect zero empathy from a hedge fund. They should pay big bucks (pounds in this case), but if they consider an employee no longer useful it is an instant goodbye.

But firing a key engineer of a successful production system that they plan to operate -- no way!! Neither 48 hours after going live, nor 6 (or 12, 18 or 24) months later. Trading strategies always get refined, changed and tuned and an oops in that process can be very expensive. A hedge fund would fight to keep the key engineer who built the system.

One case where this is possible is if a bigger fund wants to snuff out a new entrant (for example because the smaller fund is messing up the larger fund's strategy). Then the owners get $$ and everyone else gets the boot. My 2c.
I remember playing MAME's first releases and how amazing it was to have Pacman and other classics emulated so well * on my very own PC *. It just gets better every release, and that it has been going on this long says a lot about the project.

Other emulators are often faster, but it is important to keep in mind that MAME is more a documentation project than anything. Emulation is just a Happy Accident. Other projects like MiSTer FPGA will refer to its code to get an understanding of how a machine works. Bugs they find get rolled back into MAME, and so it goes.
They are indeed completely arbitrary, which makes "Category 6" completely meaningless/useless, just like the rest of those silly numbers. A storm with a wind speed of 130 mph is not 20% more dangerous than a storm with wind speed of 128 mph. They are equivalent dangers. It's a ridiculous system and should be abolished, but it won't, because it's good entertainment.

It's impressive you are managing to hold that many jobs at once and still work so little, well done! At my current job of 2 years (I have just the one), I am being worked to the bone and my health is suffering. I consider myself very productive and think that employers tend to exploit that.

I like the sound of working multiple jobs with reasonably low responsibility, e.g. admin/data processing type jobs that are easily automatible. I'd like to give this a shot to see if it makes me happier in life.

Do you have any tips you could share please on 1) how to find these jobs, and 2) how to juggle simultaneous jobs without your employers caring or finding out?
We will never understand the journey of the founders here. In the journey you make mistakes, some of them fatal some of them not so fatal. But the bottomline is that weaveworks did built some awesome tools for the k8s ecosystem. They kind of propagated Gitops in k8s ecosystem.

This is also a cautionary tale for the opensource centric businesses. I remember in my previous job, they would bundle and sell weavescope in the offering where in they would just get the latest version from quay or docker hub as is. I saw the same pattern with Grafana tools. Alot of "Make k8s simple" platforms bundle bunch of these VC funded devtools as offering. Loss of value sometime pains me.
It’s plausible it got to a point where it was done well enough to not allow too much dependency on one person.

The answer seems pretty obvious from the author. They had promised him a cut of the profits and now they don’t have to.

After relying on someone to use their talents to get things done quicker.

Internal politics could also be at play, now that a foundation is built other self interested parties or departments could be angling in to maintain whatever they’re after
