> So this is why lawmakers still sit down with Apple. And the generous lunches.

I have to say, this sounds trivially false, and I don't think I'm nitpicking.

Lawmakers sit down with Apple because Apple has an enormous amount of money and power.

After some of these lawmakers sit down for lunch with the lobbyist, perhaps they make the assessment that what Apple is asking for is still doable/ethical/practical/etc.

I often synthesize this as: to write, is to think.

It derives from David McCullough's quote, "Writing is thinking. To write well is to think clearly. That's why it's so hard."

In order to arrange the right words in the right sequence to convey the right message, you're required to organize your thinking, and also consider how it might be consumed.

To bring it back home, I suppose the same could be said of writing code.

As an aside, McCullough wrote my favorite biography, John Adams.

Glad to see that news websites (in this era of fake news) are willing to stand behind their stories; Much appreciated.

While i understand your point, the headline gives the impression that Boeing's problems stem from outsourcing which then emboldens the racists to come out of the woodwork (as can be seen from some of the downvoted comments here) and start manipulating the conversations in a different and unproductive direction. Some of the folks commenting didn't even read the article before dunking on the outsourced country/engineers. It is highly frustrating when this sort of thing happens and hence my warning in the first line of my response to ignore the title and read the article.

It would be great if you folks (maybe in collaboration with others sources/folks) could collate all the available info. on the disaster that is now "Boeing Engineering" (HW/SW) and publish a point-by-point synopsis of everything known until now. This would be a great learning lesson to the entire Industry on what not to do in pursuit of mere profits.
This is always an interesting point of discussion as well because 'sonically pretty terrible' is still somewhat subjective even from an audio engineering standpoint.

If the artist has got the sound they want, the producer has the sound they want (who was also Prince for these records) and the songs are incredibly successful and well loved, it's very difficult to argue that they're sonically terrible.

In fact, you could argue that any 'improvements' would be ultimately reductive overall. These are incredibly distinctive sounding records.

Automatically merging updates between different variants of the article, in fact, seems like a terrible idea. This is because resolving conflicts between edits is easy, but making sure that (for lack of a better word) semantic conflicts don't make it through requires a manual review of changes.

Your CRDT merge can be a technological marvel that will seamlessly stitch together different edits on a topic... that say wildly different things about it, resulting in a completely nonsensical article.

> Compare and contrast to the effort that goes into other containerisation techniques. Docker would take more that a week of spare time to write. It is orders or magnitude more complex.

That’s because you’re comparing a butter knife to a chainsaw. You can quite easily run an entire process in manner that just as limited as simple function by using something like seccomp[1] which prevents the process from doing anything except exiting, or read/writing to file handles that have already been opened as pass to it.

No need to spend a weekend or whatever writing something to “verify a function is contained”, or anything like that. Just give your process to the OS and tell the OS to contain it.

Heck if you’re on a system with systemd, all you need a handle full of lines of config, and you’re done. No need to worry about how good your static analysis is (spoiler alert, it’s never good enough), or creating a new language, or reading anyone’s code.

You use containerisation frameworks when you want your software to be able to interact with the world, but want to be able to carefully analyse and limit how it interacts with the wider world. It’s total overkill if you just want to execute code that performs computations without interacting with other systems.

> It seems to have come to an end.

It really doesn't.

This article is about a 100 years old law, who said alcohol is not allowed while at work, unless it's beer, cidre or poiré (alcohol from apple and pear respectively), and essentially a relic of when those were considered food and not alcohol, and we were giving wine to kids at school lunch.

Some employer thought their workers drinking WHILE WORKING was not ok, and they used the law to say wine is not banned, and it went to the courts.

You're free to drink whatever at lunch time, as long as you don't show up drunk, this is about drinking DURING WORK HOURS.

Really not sure how you could misunderstand that case so bad you qualify it as "It seems to have come to an end."
> actively reject abusive narcissistic behavior with no qualifications.

There is an inherently difficult task in this. To combat manipulators, we must ourselves engage in manipulation of others whether we like it or not. Depending on how skillful the ASPD person is, trying to call them out on their behavior may actually simply be "outing" yourself to a group that has no interest in hearing what your saying.

This can be INCREDIBLY stressful in work or school settings where removing yourself from the social situation is impossible. Eventually the only way to "win" is to walk away, and in doing so at times cut yourself off from social groups. This just allows the ASPD person to tar your name and further manipulate others to isolate you. "Living your best life is the best revenge" yeah sure but it's hard to do this with less of a social group... it doesn't feel good to lose friends even if the reason you are "losing" them is a choice to not tolerate their behavior.

I said this in another post, but the real challenge is convincing general society that the awful behavior of psychopaths and sociopaths is in fact bad. That not having or even making an attempt to practice empathy does in fact make you a bad person.

The cheerleaders of the sociopaths have been duped, manipulated and controlled into submission by people who have no regard for their wellbeing. In my experience most people are unable to accept this reality. The ones who at least can accept part of it, or agree and have seen the unfairness are the type of people NT or ND that are worth interacting with and need to be seen as advocates and beacons of hope.

The contention is whether or not you can fix someone else’s device without a certification. If you can only fix your own device then that’s useless to 90% of people who are not technically adept enough to do it.

When I want to get a battery replaced I take my device to the repair shop and they replace the battery. I don’t ask them if they are “certified”. If they break something the liability is on them. Every single repair shop I’ve ever been to offers a warranty on their repair.
Even if they don't explicitly design for manual repair, forcing them to publicly provide schematics, individual components (directly or through an agreement with their supplier), and any software required to successfully complete the repair would be a big step in the right direction.

Let's say you are using an electric space heater to heat up your room and have some questions about the best place to keep it in your room.

You go to an HVAC forum and post the question. Instead of answering the question (or saying that it doesn't matter where you place it), people instead start lecturing you about how electric heating is very inefficient, and you should instead use a Heat Pump, then give you lots of details about heat pumps which are completely irrelevant to your specific issue.
Couldn't agree more.

To add to your last point: Industry is an area with a huge deficit of properly engineered software and often lacking basics things like version control and testing.

Most manufacturing processes use code that an Automation Engineer with a bare minimum of CS training clicked together in Rockwell/Siemens software. There is no deployment pipeline or staging, data is often "copied" from ERP by typing it in and monitoring is some 20-year old custom solution done in Delphi or Visual Studio that just barely runs. The potential for software engineers there is gigantic.

edit: obviously there is a bit of hyperbole here and there are exceptions, but this has been my experience.
> The instability we would introduce through this would likely lead to corporate funded infrastructure being stood up to ensure remote workers maintain access to cloud computing. I believe the company town concept [0] would make a comeback.

I'm not following this argument for two reasons:

1. I don't see corporate-funded infrastructure being stood up nationwide across a nation because the local services in a few places are not up to scratch. IMHO, those few places just won't get the migrants from the cities.

2. Even if the corporations built private infrastructure to support WFH, I don't see a probability of that leading to something like a company-town concept. IOW, I don't see how "Microsoft built private infrastructure to ensure WFH works" leads to "A Microsoft town in those places that has the MS infrastructure." After all, even if the alternative is unreliable, it's still there!. In company towns, your actual dollar was close to worthless - you had to spend it elsewhere.
I've submitted my website on various places like Derek Sivers' nownownow.com, theforest.link, search.marginalia.nu, and a few other places, but also standard search engines have been picking it up as well (I've written a couple how-to's on obscure things like "How to root the Onyx Boox Poke 3").

I don't have analytics, but I get a handful of emails per month from people commenting, asking questions, and even some nice criticisms. I don't do like/comments - I think people are genuinely nicer when it's a 1 to 1 interaction like email.
In some cities in the west like Palm Springs the reservation already owns like half the city in a sort of checkerboard pattern. Despite the fact this is expensive palm springs you still see the same old “reservation” style development of a casino and couple story hotel rather than big huge towers of hotels and condos like in miami beach. Maybe there really is no market for something like that in palm springs, or, there are larger forced that put a thumb on what these reservations are allowed to do with the land under their domain.

I.e., they would need to not only ask for the key, but also use the same IP address that the key was generated with. Depending on what sort of NAT may or may not exist on campus, that could be difficult or easy.
I think the bit that makes it "federated" is that they want to use ActivityPub to synchronize articles between servers.

Based on https://github.com/Nutomic/ibis#federation I think the practical impact of this would be that it'd be easy to have your personal Ibis instance be a fork of some big mainstream one, where the only difference is that e.g. your version of the Pigeons article explains that birds aren't real, but everything else is automatically kept in sync.

I'm not convinced this is particularly worthwhile, or much of an improvement over the existing "run a wiki" workflow.
Exactly this. What's plotted is the chance of surviving to that age then dying.

> I think normalizing sociopathic behaviour is something to be worried about, but I personally don't see that happening anywhere so I am unsure what your point is.

The normalization of sociopathic behavior is pretty clear to see in politics and celebrity culture. If you don't see it you have had your eyes willfully closed to it for 10+ yrs.

Maybe you have or are currently engaged in some of these behaviors and you "can't see" them because it would damage your ego's view of yourself as a good person who deserves the success they have experienced.

> Shunning those people from society seems like not an option to me, they are people after all

This is effectively what happens to the victims of the sociopaths. They are driven out from the margins. The way I read this is "sociopaths can do whatever they want, but when others complain they are the problem".

I cannot stress how wrong that last statement is. So much suffering and therapy to recover from people who behaved this way. People at the top. Bosses. Managers.

People who were supposed to be looking out for the group and were not.
I think these rules (and I think they are excellent) are poorly named as "efficient" css. That makes me think of performance.

In that case, yes it's less performant. But the specificity problem is so significant that I've followed the rule of never using ids for styling at all. The problems I've run into with CSS have entirely been regarding maintainability and preventing visual bugs, I've never had any CSS performance problem worth addressing. (I almost skipped this submission because I thought that was what is about, I'm glad I didn't.)
A lot of people use. I think it is common at least in Europe but probably varies by country.
That's a gross oversimplification, and I think you know it. We're not idiots here.

On any given year in the last decade, about 1/3 (sometimes more, sometimes less) of voters have been registered independent. George Washington was the last independent president.

We take for granted that campaign promises are there to be reneged on. Even assuming legitimate alignment with a given candidate (that is, that they are genuine about representing you), this more or less means you're not getting what's on the label.

It's well known that unless you live in one of like 6 states your vote won't affect the outcome of a presidential race. Those states tend to have lower populations.

The system is broken, and it has been for a long time. The number of things that get between your vote and the implementation of policy are enough to ensure that your voice is unimportant - whether this is by accident or design is another conversation but I haven't yet seen a reasonable argument that what we have is even remotely functional. I'm open to hearing one if you have it.
