What does Monster mean in Dutch? It means the same, right?

Once, I worked with a guy whose surname was Den Beste. When I asked him about it, he told me that the Dutch didn't have surnames until the occupying French did a census that required each person to have a surname. He said that, to mock the occupiers, many of the Dutch chose their new surnames sarcastically, as did his ancestors, whose name means "the best." He told me "but that is nothing. Another Dutch name means something like 'little pieces of poop.'" This article lists a few more such: https://netherlandsbynumbers.com/2013/06/05/14-dutch-surname...

Really disappointing article, and it only mentions libraries as a link to another very disappointing article.

That said, if you've been to a "modern" public library (let's say built or significantly renovated in the last 10-15 years???) lately, you will definitely notice that they are popular and well-used by the younger generations.

If you don't live near one, check one out when traveling. We've done that a few times - hang out at the local library on a rainy day when on vacation or visiting old friends. You'll find that even in deep red states where it seems like the only thing they talk about regarding libraries is banning books, the libraries are often fantastic and well-used.
The thing is, it doesn't look like Boeing has learned anything.

I largely agree with you, but fwiw treason has a specific and pretty limited definition encoded in the Constitution. My understanding is that since the US and China aren't at war it can't be treason under that definition.
The only expectation of this is in your head. It is a fantasy that doesn't exist.
> The EverCrypt project did phenomenal work producing formally verified (including side-channel resistant) cryptography libraries but a formally verified program only has the properties that are proven if the axioms hold. If you don't have memory safety then these axioms don't hold.

This is not true. You can have formally verified programs in a non-memory safe language.

The author is mixing discussions of memory-safe languages vs memory-safe programs.

They make this "anti-distinction" because they actually want to run both kinds of programs (w/ and w/o compile-time memory guarantees) in a sandbox that itself provides the memory-safe guarantees. Of course, they will sell you that sandbox.

But who wrote the sandbox, and and here we are: what are its guarantees conditioned on:

> You can take for granted the fact that any out-of-bounds access and any use-after-free will trap. And that means that you can share an object with another compartment by passing it a pointer. You can rely on the fact that, if you pass another compartment a pointer to an on-stack object (or any pointer that you've explicitly marked as ephemeral), any attempt to capture that pointer will trap. You can share a read-only view of a buffer, by providing a pointer without write permission, or of a complex data structure by providing one without transitive write permission.

So, forgive my ignorance, but this is great for _your_ code, but not helpful for the code of others. They could still read the data from a buffer the not-so-safe code used to copy the data you sent to it, and no amount of "marking it ephemeral" can save you unless somehow the safety is transitory. This doesn't seem possible.

> vacuum-cleaner model of software development': point your vacuum cleaner at the Internet, vacuum up all of the components you need, and ship them. Only now you can audit exactly what each of those third-party components has access to. Because even assembly code has to follow the core rules for memory safety, you can write policies about what they should be able to access and audit them before you sign a firmware image.

Yeah - find. You allow openssl to see your data, then component X is exploited and reads data from an openssl _copy_ of that data. right?

> Americans already the second highest incomes in the world [1],

I would like to see this broken down by decile over time; I suspect that doing so would show a shift favoring higher income deciles and disfavoring lower income deciles. If Bill Gates eats at a restaurant, the median net worth of the restaurant's customers makes them billionaires. But that doesn't mean they are all that well off. The same is true for income and for the US population.
It creates competition between repairmen, but that might mean that consumers suffer because they can no longer choose to buy such a device which maintains the quality of repairs. The law would be deciding what kind of devices would be permissible rather than the consumers deciding based off buying what product they think is best.

I'm surprised to not see not more agreement on here so far. I personally find the three questions rote, boring, and coming up with content that feels satisfactory is a chore. I agree with trying to think critically about the goals of the practice and whether the default standard practice is best serving those goals.

But that's just me, and if a team collectively likes the time and the ritual, then they should keep it.
Thanks! They look great as well, I've never heard of them before so thanks for the link. We definitely have a vision where where we want to go but unsure where that will diverge from competitors. Focused on just building things people want at the moment :)
Another point to add, if there are less local manufacturing/physical labor jobs, market forces will incentivize innovation in other areas like infotech jobs, etc.

Not saying it's overall beneficial but it likely pushes the working class towards other areas like infotech and more specialized trades which could lead to innovation in those spaces.

Creates a trade dependency however.

I don't think this is even the case. I think Apple is concerned with the user's experience. They don't want some random 3rd party component affecting the performance or functionality of the device, or some 3rd party's poor-repair job. Because if the repair job is crappy, and it only shows up down the road, the user blames Apple. Apple wants its users to connect positively with its products.

This is why when you take your laptop into the store, they don't offer to just desolder the bad chip, and replace it. They don't want to take the time or money to train their store in doing these repairs. There's a lot that can go wrong and its easier to just make the policy to swap the entire component - the whole logic board. It's a lot quicker to do, it's a lot quicker to train, it's a lot lower risk in terms of chemical exposure, proper-ventilation, and materials disposal. If they take the entire bad motherboard, they can box them all up and ship them in bulk.

They didn't sack him, he quit for better pay.

In Japan companies rarely sack employees and employees rarely quit. People are expected to stay with the same company basically their whole life. That's why he didn't get fired for disobeying orders. Firing someone in Japan is somewhat socially taboo (just like quitting) and therefore rare.

In Japan, companies are considered to be like "family". It would be kind of a joke here in the USA, but in Japan there is a lot of loyalty in both directions.

Part of the reason they sued him is probably the butthurt of him quitting. Quitting, even for better pay, is kind of like a big "fuck you" in Japan.

This particular building doesn't seem very nice to me but I agree with the hope of making non-cookie-cutter places.

It seems to mostly revolve around (not) designing cities for cars. The typical suburban towns and cities in America are almost not towns at all, more arbitrary geographic boxes drawn around anonymous wide streets, traffic lights galore, parking lots, driveways.

In my area there are occasional attempts to improve downtown areas or build new "Euro inspired" developments. This has varying success but they tend to be isolated caricatures, more like shopping malls than communities people live in... there isn't a coherent regional long-term plan. And there is always a pressure to deal with traffic, adding more housing/density creates more and more traffic and parking needs. There's a bus network but it also gets stuck in traffic doesn't properly deal with the far-flung regional destinations caused by the fundamental lack of density.

The cars also cause a general feeling of danger. Even in quiet neighborhoods kids are at risk of death from a passing car.
Isn't that the same if you make a completely synchronous library without any goroutine? If your library panics then the whole program crashes.

Tech allows companies to solicit a planet-sized talent pool. Microsoft has an entire Indian branch of the company. While some individuals (i.e. the workers in India) are able to benefit, it comes with tradeoff: the local developer loses the job, and the guy or girl who would like to change careers to software development loses as well. Not to mention, the Microsoft coffers get larger since they can pay cheaper wages to the overseas dev.

All you can do is lobby for tighter restrictions, however of course Microsoft is lobbying at the same time with a larger bankroll than you.
To me it’s somewhat analogous to exercise, eating well, and sleeping well.

The benefits are “small” in one sense, but highly leveraged in another sense.

I don’t necessarily feel that I get a lot out of any single session, aside from a mental interrupt (which could also be achieved by going for a walk, or whatever).

It’s more like, doing it consistently over time moves the needle in some very small way, almost imperceptible. Like, I’ll notice I’m a little more patient with my kids, a little less anxious during a work meeting, a little slower to get angry, a little quicker to let anger dissipate.

And if I wasn’t paying attention, these changes might be so subtle that I wouldn’t even say anything had changed, and I could easily be one who says it “doesn’t work”.

But while those changes are all small and subtle, the downstream impact can be enormous. The difference between staying angry for a minute versus an hour is often the difference between good long term relationships and divorce, or the difference between going to prison, or not. Lots of long-tail negative outcomes get avoided. And the benefit of having a lower idle anxiety level seems to have a cumulative impact, or a thing that kicks off a virtuous cycle. Like, I feel a little less anxious, so I make a less worse decision to not medicate with junk food, so I sleep a little better, and make another better decision the next day, and so on.

It’s hard to really convey, because it’s very subtle but the principle is, I think, that the difference between doing a little, and doing zero, has a way larger impact than the arithmetic calculation would suggest. Like the difference between spending a dollar more than you earn, versus spending a dollar less than you earn. It’s a $2 difference and seems insignificant, but it’s the difference between debt and a path to wealth.

I, like you, am in the tech world and know plenty of founders who are great people who have visions and want various things. Once they are running a company, it doesn't take long for this to matter less and less. Even in the early stages of a startup, the priority will shift quickly to whatever gets the next round of funding. In the case of a company that has become large, there is virtually zero chance that the wheel can be steered away from whatever the aggregate algorithm used to weigh the priorities of the shareholders and make a decision thinks will be profitable. This isn't in practice always what ends up the most profitable, but it's what will happen because that's how the structure of the organization works
I'll never consider this plane safe unless Boeing fixes the process the yielded these systemic quality problems.
Systematic racism manifests in more of a statistical manner. You might not recognize it because the parties involved can interact without much friction. But policies will adversely affect one group of people more than others. But the racism being described here is outright and overt.

This is nonsense, this is a repeat of correctness by construction vs correctness by test that we see in software. Since these planes are poorly constructed, due to failure in process controls, they must now rely on a correctness by test which is more expensive and less effective. I would argue that in such complex systems no amount of testing can ever make up for failures in controls.

Relying on the constant vigilance of pilots is a non-starter due to the limits of simply being human. Which is why risk is modeled using the Swiss cheese model. Pilots have off days and cannot be relied to catch everything, especially if the issue is previously unknown.

This isn’t the first 737 Max issue so why didn’t Boeing take the opportunity then to fix everything else wrong with the plane after the MCAS issues? Especially when they had the time during the pandemic to do so. How many new final issues should we expect? 3.. 4?

I’m not saying flying is going to be drastically more dangerous, just that it’s more dangerous than it could have been.

> How is supporting the military of your adversary not treason?

For one, because treason refers to an enemy, not an adversary, and China is not legally an enemy of the US (at war). You can't just assert that China is an enemy in court without some legal basis.

Note that not even the Rosenbergs were charged with treason for sharing US nuclear secrets with the Soviet Union. That's how high the bar for treason is.

> How about stop putting lipstick on a pig and retire the whole 737 entirely?

What? The 737 NG family (along with the Airbus A320 series) have been the workhorse of short to medium haul air travel for decades now. Throwing out the 737 entirely is a nonsensical, knee-jerk reaction suffering from serious recency bias.

> A large percentage of the MAX faults are due to Boeing doing everything to make a plane that the original design simply cannot accommodate. At what point somebody says: "No, enough!" ?

And your solution to that is to throw out all the perfectly functional and flight-proven-over-decades aspects of the design and start completely fresh? If you're concerned about the process which produced the Max, what gives you any confidence that a fresh design wouldn't have 10x the issues that the Max does?
OK point taken, but that’s actually a very small point when you run the numbers.

Industrial scale direct air capture technology right is ~1200KWh per ton of CO2. And this energy cost is non linear - as we scale up, the lower CO2 concentration in the air will result in higher energy costs being needed to extract the remaining. I don’t think exposing the rock will be cheaper or can even scale as a process but harder to say. But that energy used is largely waste - sure we’ll maybe find a use for some of the co2 but then that’s also not sequestration and will release some of the captured co2 back into the air.

Using those numbers means we’d need to be spending 48TWh to capture the carbon we emit each year, which is almost half of our current global energy production. Those are massive numbers. Of course you could overbuild less and slowly extract the co2, but then climate change gets even more baked in.

This applies to maybe 0.1% of functions. The overwhelming majority of functions, in the Go stdlib as well as real projects, that return (T, error) return an empty meaningless value for the error cases.
Yes, once every thousand days (made up, but not too far from reality) when there actually is something for the group to come together and discuss, the standup is a useful tool. Although you're probably better to just schedule the meeting only when there is something to discuss. Gathering everyone each day just to see is kind of wasteful.

Granted, that waste keeps people employed. The tech layoffs of late is unquestionably because "Agile" isn't cool anymore, and those hours wasted to standups are now, by and large, put to productive use instead.

This is just crazy. If the consumer wants Apple OEM they know where to get it. Right to repair with generic instead of OEM broadens the market. It doesn't narrow it.

> These companies tossed the heavy manufacturing capabilities of the United States to a geopolitical rival.

But for it to be considered treason they would have to committed that act with the intent of betraying the United States for their enemies. I think you will have a hard time showing that was their intent when a much more obvious and likely intent was making a profit.

If you take out the intent part of treason then it would apply to all sorts of scenarios and would severely restrict the freedom of US citizens. For instance would you consider a US citizen who is loyal to the United States but takes a year to volunteer at an Iranian hospital to be committing treason? What about a US factory worker who strikes for better working conditions and the strike gives an advantage to a Chinese competitor?

Aren't there some fundamental issues with the Max regarding its engine placement which necessitated the MCAS system that was responsible for the two fatal crashes? If that's true, I don't think the Max can be as safe as a plane that doesn't have these issues in the first place due to its design.
