Why not? Do you think other engineers are better suited for such work?

I’m just curious, because I personally work on things that could kill people directly or indirectly.
Likewise, anyone talking about civil engineering and bridges.

At least back in the day Slashdot was fully aware of how broken their ubiquitous car analogies were and played it up.
> Then you're left with supporting roughly our current population level which seems... entirely feasible?

That doesn't match data I've seen. For example, even the Wikipedia article on carrying capacity (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrying_capacity), second paragraph, states there are a number of lines of scientific evidence that we are already over capacity of Earth today. One project (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_Overshoot_Day) does pretty intense data analysis to quantify how far we are over that capacity. The summary is, yes, we are definitely in overshoot, and all economic development to raise standard of living is making it worse.

But it's even worse than that. We aren't just exceeding the carrying capacity, it is diminishing as we reduce biodiversity and biomass through land use (read: obliterating wildlife and forests), overfishing, and over-industrialization of agriculture, which kills healthy soils.

> Between existing but underutilized techniques like fission, renewables, smarter land use and management for agriculture

It's not just about producing more energy. We are consuming everything too much, from biomass to raw materials, even fresh water.

> Fusion power would immediately solve a lot of problems.

It might reduce CO2 consumption but ironically it will increase per capita energy consumption, which encourages even more environmental destruction by making everything cheaper to build and buy. So more land use and more consumption.
>At least from my perspective, he already comes from a pretty well off family. What more is there to desire?

Because your business doesn’t just start earning 20m and that’s still only 150000. Are you arguing against fake numbers?
Unfortunately the assumption of real growth is very baked into things like social security, medicare, etc. There's no way to de-grow without an increased burden for those working to take care of a larger non-working aging cohort.

A deeper problem is that the benefits / "slack room" provided by real growth are constantly eradicated because people's wants (and needs) keep growing along commensurately.

Some changing expectations are fairly uncontroversial, e.g. better medical technology and doctor training costs more. Others are arguably less good, e.g. private jets (or taken to the extreme, passenger planes in general!)
That's odd. Even in incognito mode i see 2 plans and 2 prices for personal use.
I could just as easily list off several countries that have strict gun control and at the same time also violent crime rates (including those with guns) that are far worse than general levels in the U.S. gun control by itself isn't the problem when it comes to violence. Other, largely social and political factors are much more important, but that's not a neat ideological talking point so it gets ignored more often.

Many people live with this reality every day already. Remote workers with screen sharing software, certs installed so companies can spy on everything you do, retail workers under cameras all day.

this will happen. when people are getting rich, they prefer to have less kids. UN predicted the largest number of population is 12 billion in future thirty years, then population start to diminish.
I don’t see why people get so shocked about this proposal.

There are laws to force architects to make their buildings accessible to people with disabilities, so I don’t see why it would be shocking to force companies that generate revenues from apps with a certain amount of user base to make their apps accessible.
Or maybe we could finance some kind of scheme where law enforcement officers traverse cities, towns and countryside using a variety of transport options, primarily two- and four-wheeled motorized vehicles on a rotating basis. If we then equipped these officers with some kind of method to audibly detect abnormally loud noises, they could proactively investigate such offenses with minimal response times and take appropriate action.

Of course one issue with my plan is that it depends on the cooperation of the dispatched law enforcement officers. If they were to symphonize with the people committing the noise infractions they might simply refuse to punish them.
It should be noted that I believe you can get access to Linux s390x boxes in the cloud for not very much money.

It's the z/OS side of things that tends to be prohibitively expensive. Thats almost entirely due to software licensing and not hardware though. The hardware is really not much worse than POWER or any other non-x86 specialty hardware.

So if you are making a product that could be big in the kinds of places that have a lot of mainframes, and you are offering an on-premises version, I'd say to go ahead and get a port to s390x tested (on Linux). It's very cheap to do and a potential selling point for a lot of large companies. Then from s390x to z/OS Unix it isn't all that much more work if you decide to take it all the way and offer official support, i.e. if somebody is going to sign a big contract where mainframe integration would be the differentiator between you and a competing product. Once you've got commitment for a contract of some kind I'm sure there are ways to get the access you would need to test under the expensive software.
The original definitions of "hard error" and "soft error" were for disks and go back to the early 1970s at least. A soft error was a recoverable error that could be handled by re-reading the disk sector. A hard error was a permanent disk error that could not be recovered.
That's not what is at stake here though. CVRs are not intended for improving process like a call-center recorded line. "Both recorders are installed to help reconstruct the events leading to an aircraft accident." [ntsb.gov]

This creep of intended-use is exactly why many people oppose surveillance in the first place.
It's not something that actually happened. It's just some bullshit that's gone viral.

> I'd be curious to know how many non-conformances they typically see during assembly of a plane (...)

Very likely that number is meaningless. I suspect this is the kind of environment that incentivises hiding non-conformances whenever possible.

For example, better quality control usually results in an increase of number of defects, at least temporarily. But that just because large portion of these defects were undetected before.

So... you are looking at a number that you have nothing to compare to that also depends on how closely the process is monitored and also depends a lot on the definition of what is non-conformance.

It is like trying to give an answer to "what is the length of Britain's coastline?" Everybody knows that you can get whatever answer you want depending on how long the ruler is.
Also StrataScratch.com for leetcode for SQL.

What really distinguishes an SQL master is working with queries hundreds of lines long, and query optimization. For example, you can often make queries faster by taking out joins and replacing them with window functions. It's hard to practice these techniques outside of a legit enterprise dataset with billions of rows (maybe a good startup idea).
In this instance the report explicitly says:-

> Both flight crew said they immediately donned their oxygen masks. They added that the flight deck door was blown open and that it was very noisy and difficult to communicate.

> The flight crew immediately contacted air traffic control (ATC), declared an emergency, and requested a lower altitude. The flight was assigned 10,000 ft. The captain said he then requested the rapid decompression checklist, and the FO executed the required checklist from the Quick Reference Handbook (QRH). As the FO completed the checklist, the captain flew the airplane as they coordinated with ATC to return to the PDX airport. The flight landed on runway 28L without further incident and taxied to the gate.

So in this particular instance, when the depressurisation happened at a comparatively low altitude, the pilots did get ATC clearance before descending.
How do you manage the community of your product?
Hi founders, how do you manage the community of your product? I've noticed that many SaaS companies are using Discord to manage their customer community.

However, just like Slack, it may not be the best platform for managing a customer community. It is really hard to search for previously asked questions and track feature requests. What do you think?

Do you believe this is a problem worth to be solved? I would be interested in solving it if it's a genuine issue.
How does it know the location you are brushing?
At a company I worked in, we had a joke about this: "Good thing we don't build nuclear reactors".

In some software projects the level of rush, and the fact that bugs sometimes would leak into production was kinda horrifying. It would've been way more so, if it would've been the kind of project that could kill people in case of failure. Like it happened in Chernobyl with nuclear reactors, or at Boeing with planes.

I can't really imagine what these engineers feel when they rush this kind of work knowing what's at stake.
No--x-rays will not make anything radioactive. Gamma rays can only do so when they're in the 2GeV range or higher (indirectly, through pair production.)

It's particles that make things radioactive, mostly neutrons as they aren't repelled by the nucleus and thus have a much easier time getting in. And while it would be hard to construct a shield out of it helium is effectively immune to becoming radioactive under neutron bombardment. And while lead isn't immune the reaction sequence produces nothing that won't be contained by the lead and it self-regenerates, enough bombardment returns it to where it started.
The problem is not made public...except in the New Yorker? Except by the president of the United States?

Shifting blame towards land management practices - not necessarily by you, but for example by that particular POTUS - is often an attempt to downplay global warming and the urgent need to do take steps to stave it off, rather than a good-faith attempt to reform land management practices. If people detect a whiff of that, that's what makes them downvote; given the present and future consequences of downplaying global warming and the urgent need to take steps to stave it off, and the push that's been behind that for the past, oh, fifty-to-seventy years or so, can you blame them? No one's against reforming land management to prevent forest fires.
I've had a good experience with Podman as a Docker alternative. The Podman CLI is designed to be API-compatible with Docker's CLI, so most things should just work. The only thing I've had to change with my Dockerfiles (or Containerfiles) is the `SHELL` instruction, since Podman by default builds OCI images, and that instruction is not supported by the OCI standard. But you can still specify the shell individually for the `RUN` instructions, or even just use `--format=docker` if you don't want OCI images.
Expo/Fingerprint is massive for all React Native devs
IMO fingerprint is a massive milestone for the whole RN ecosystem as the story has always been 'there's the native part that is hard to compile, the JS part that is easy to compile and swap BUT it's super hard to know for sure that they match unless you build them together which kills the easy to swap part' and now fingerprint is changing it all.
More objective looks at reliability put Teslas as a class very far down in any ordered ranking. Not as bad as Jeeps or Chevys, but below Ford, Dodge, and Lincoln.

The thing I'm missing in PG is jsonb compression the way mongo does it.

We have both Mongo and PG. PG is much simpler and I would love to ditch Mongo for simplicity.

Only thing I would need is a "dumb" compressed jsonb column. No updates, no queries, only insert, select, delete.

And the same 80-90% compression without maintenance as Mongo on highly repetitive json keys.

I see ads for a program that draws pictures of women in sexual situations but boy when penises get involved it turns into nightmare fuel (disembodied, decapitated, bifurcated, pointing in the wrong direction) which makes me glad I don't have castration anxiety.

The really obvious MR sex app is one that overwrites your partner with somebody else like Strea or Bremington. Not sure if most partners would like that. You might get something that feels like motion sickness if there is too much of a difference in breast size.
I'm always wary about weasel words like "As Much As", especially with no direct reference to see how the original data was presented. I always just assume that means "By the most optimistic possible reading of the data that furthers the goal of this article" - so it may be that the value from the most extreme single data point of minimum->maximum is 3.6f.

The wikipedia graph even states in the description that "Little Ice Age was not a distinct planet-wide period but a regional phenomenon" - though that again in turn doesn't seem to be directly stated in the referenced citation and editorialization too....
I’ve found that chatGPT is excellent in helping with generating and testing SQL queries. This tutorial is likely helpful for its intended audience; I’d like to see a bit more discussion of query optimization, stored procedures, table design, and available options both in db and in bindings, but it’s hard to fit everything in one place and keep it clean, which is why LLMs will eventually win.

> I never felt comfortable putting my partner on the same vlan that it was serving DNS requests for fear that something would break for them when I was out of town

One potential workaround, if your hardware supports it, is to broadcast two separate SSIDs for general users: one with a blocklist, and one without as a fallback. Users just need to know when to use each.
There is no primary and secondary dns on windows. Both dns servers are queried, if one goes down you are fine but you won’t hit your local dns all the time.

That is a non-sequitur. Investigators should have access to accident data regardless of whether the pilots did their job.

Root cause analysis isn't the only reason: it would be good for pilots to have this case study, as well as analysis on how systems responded to the abrupt change.

Having this data is strictly better than not having it.

“easiest and most lucrative work”

I think this overlooks a big part of how the legal market works. Our easiest work is only lucrative because we use it to train new lawyers, who bill at a lower rate. To the extent the easy stuff gets automated, 1) it’s going to be impossible to find work as a junior associate and 2) senior attorneys will do the same stuff they did last year. If there’s a decrease in prices for a while, great, but a generation from now it’s going to be a lot harder to find someone knowledgeable because the training pathway will have been destroyed.

Just to be fair: as also stated at the beginning of the post, CPUs are far more complex nowadays than they represent themselves to the outside.

They don't work like a von-Neumann machine, they act like one. Granted, we know a lot more about the inner workings of modern CPUs thn GPUs, but a lot of real-life work still assumes that the CPU works "as-if" it was a computer from the 70s, just really, really fast.
That is something that concerns me, but much more on the Z side than on the LinuxONE. On the Linux side, it's just a very fast computer.

Weather: Canada's weather certainly isn't the best, but not really worse than other northern climate countries.

Housing: Large cities like Toronto and Vancouver are unaffordable, but so are other large cities like London, New York etc. Just like most other countries, if you want to pay less for housing, go to a smaller city

Quality of life: how are you measuring this? By most measures (life expectancy, crime etc) Canada is well ahead of the US.

Innovation and salaries: Innovation is a bit hard to define, but salaries are definitely lower than the US. But here the US is also an outlier (at least for high earners) compared to most other countries. Tech salaries in Canada for example aren't lower than most European countries.

I can look it up (and so can you) but it is irrelevant for this conversation.

This matters if you are a climate scientist and are constructing a model to make predictions or shape policy. But for this conversation, all we need to know is that the percentage has increased because of human activity (specifically as a result of fossil fuel extraction and usage for energy consumption) and this increase is enough to cause significant warming, shaping the climate, and escalating wild fire intensity and frequency.
