On the other hand, I can't see a non-engineering type facing up to the cultural conflict after the McDonnell Douglas merger

> clash of corporate cultures, where Boeing's engineers and McDonnell Douglas's bean-counters went head-to-head

I do believe that leadership plays a role in the top and can have a general negative or positive sway on the culture in an org. Im rooting for Boeing to fix their problems. And appointing a person at the top to lead that change is going to speak louder than any press release/marketing effort to improve their image.
> It also makes maintenance difficult. If you start with a function that isn't async and suddenly realize that you need to read something from disk during its execution, even if it only happens sometimes or when the user passes in a specific option, you are forced by the runtime to mark the function async which is then viral throughout the codebase, making it a breaking change - and for what? The performance impact of reading the file could easily be lost in the noise on modern hardware and operating systems.

You'll typically have an idea of whether or not a function performs IO from the start. Changing that after the fact violates the users' conceptual model and expectation of it, even if all existing code happens to keep working.
> Cats on the other hand

are much more like humans - cat's dig urbanism, can hang out at a cafe for hours, sit on a couch watching the tube all day, they happily adapt.. So that' why we say "there's a cool cat" but you never hear anything about "cool dogs". So your theory is correct in my opinion: dogs are good rural friends and cats are good urban friends. There is also the matter of dog poop. Has anyone every complained on cat poop on their stoop? Or getting bitten by the neighbor's cat? Or being annoyed at the neighbor's mewing cat?

Now a cat on a farm, don't know about that. Wonder how that would work.

Is Boeing too big to fail type of scenario?
It is, but there's a reason I teach my son addition like this:

hundreds | tens | ones

1 2 3
+ 2 1 5
-----------------------
3 3 8

Rather than

unoDOOOOS(third) {}{}{} [512354]_ = three"ate

* replace {}{}{} with addition, {}{} is subtraction unless followed by three spaces in which case it's also addition
* translate and correct any misspellings
* [512354] look up in your tables
* _ is 15
* dotted lines indicate repeated numbers

Technically they're doing the same thing. One we would assume is harder to learn the fundamental concepts from.

Backstory. Jesus's Mom invited him to a kicking party, and it was a major drag not having enough wine, so Jesus was like 'hold my beer, I've got this', turned water in the 'good stuff', and they partied all night. Mary, the original MILF, even God couldn't resist.

Yes by law I meant the DMA. You said in your comment that there is a need to differentiate between what Apple can do and what they should do and the author didn't mention specific DMA provisions to make his argument more concrete.

What I mean is that yes Apple is entitled to do whatever they want with their IP. But this entitlement is granted by the EU itself. EU may decide whatever they want and Apple can't really fight much against it. So instead of causing drama, it would be easier to just give up and exit EU.

At this point it is upto EU consumers to provide their opinions on what they want to happen next.
I think Lezer is great if there’s a parser for your language, or you only need to support a few languages and you have time to build grammars yourself.

When you need to build a general tool that supports a ton of languages, that’s when Lezer doesn’t fit as well since there just aren’t a ton of existing grammars out there.
Who are you fooling here? Yourself? Imagine your children being born into one of these farms. There is no self determination. Only because we are not overtly cruel doesn't mean we don't treat them like slaves. "Look at my slave, now that I impregnated her she gets to have a couple more square meter to walk around in until her children are taken away from her." Not all farms are equally bad, but there is no farm where if you applied the same treatment to humans it would not constitute human rights violations. You might argue non human animals are different, but why does that matter? Black and white people are different, why would that difference justify enslaving one group?

The numbers I find a bit confusing here.

"The Starlink constellation could serve up to 188.160 MB/sec to Earth."

So is that dot a decimal point? I suppose so, because it's used like that in the following numbers

"9,373,421.84 gigabytes total bandwidth to Earth so far today"

But isnt the 188 MB/sec the bandwith and the 9 million gigabytes the transferred amount of data?
How can that amount go up way faster than 188 MB / sec?

I'm confused.

The maps nice though.
Yeah, containers don't fully solve this problem.

We still need a generated lock file with every top level dependency and sub-dependencies locked down to their most precise version commit to version control so that when you build your image today or in 6 months you end up with the same result.

Using pip to freeze your dependencies and writing a tiny shell script to generate a lock file at build time is better than nothing to solve this problem with nothing more than pip. It's what I do in https://github.com/nickjj/docker-flask-example and https://github.com/nickjj/docker-django-example. It's not perfect but it solves 80% with minimal complexity.
> Unicode is, in practice, a system that works the same way for ~every human language except Japanese

This is simply not true. As I've pointed out in a sibling comment, Unicode has a lot of surprising and frustrating behaviors with many European languages as well if you use it without locale data. The characters will look right, but e.g. searching, sorting and case-insensitive comparisons will not work as expected if the application is not locale aware.
Here are the original kicad files https://github.com/zevv/m2-to-usb

Please do check for yourself if this all makes sense, and I will not take responsibility for any fried laptopts or dongles. Note that the power supply for the dongle is too low: USB is supposed to deliver 5V, but on the M.2 only 3v3 is available. I decided to just give this a try and my Logitech dongle seems to be perfectly happy at this voltage. This might not be the case for others.

I once spoke to a hedge fund guy who had a large stake in Tesla going back at least 10 years at this point. I was curious... don't you get worried about every other company announcing a push into electric cars? GM and Ford are making big pushes, as are many of the European companies. His response: the best engineers want to build sexy new things and they don't want to live in Detroit.

Construction Physics recently ran a great article on why companies don't design new aircraft from scratch (rather, you see 5 or 6 iterations of the 737) [1]. The gist of it is that it's extraordinarily expensive to design a new aircraft from the ground up and that changes to regulation or the global economy can have a huge impact on which planes are desirable (e.g., big vs small, fuel efficient vs fast), so any new plane is an enormous gamble. So I understand why the bean counters look at a build-from-scratch approach as a bad idea. At the same time, it is very hard to quantify the long term impact of losing the engineering culture that comes along with building new planes from scratch. There's a wealth of knowledge that you lose if you don't do it very often. You also get happier and better engineers when you give them tasks that are more interesting. This stuff doesn't show up on accounting statements, but it's hard to deny that there's a long term effect.

Unfortunately, it doesn't really seem like a return to engineering culture is what they are going to do. The head of their commercial business [2] resigned according to this statement, but his replacement will be Stephanie Pope, a woman with an accounting/MBA background who has risen through the ranks at Boeing in primarily financial positions (she may indeed be very talented, but certainly doesn't have an engineering background).

[1] https://www.construction-physics.com/p/a-cycle-of-misery-the...

[2] Boeing is divided into four divisions: defense, commercial, boeing capital and global services (I'm not really sure what this last one does, but the division that we primarily think of when we think Boeing is their commercial one).
Nuclear on the other hand cost "green meanies" a lot in that it sucked massive energy R&D investments and subsidies away from renewables since the 1940s, otherwise we'd had cheap solar and wind decades earlier and we could have fought the climate catastrophe much earlier.
Not in my font!
From the same article:

> However, even a catastrophic Kessler scenario at LEO would pose minimal risk for launches continuing past LEO, or satellites travelling at medium Earth orbit (MEO) or geosynchronous orbit (GEO). The catastrophic scenarios predict an increase in the number of collisions per year, as opposed to a physically impassable barrier to space exploration that occurs in higher orbits.

There's also a statement by SpaceX about why Starlink won't cause this but that's not worth the paper it's printed on given that SpaceX would of course say that.

It does sound like the Kessler syndrome risk is higher for heavier, higher orbit satellites so a more likely issue would be a higher orbit satellite starting a debris cascade that could take out Starlink (and cause Kessler syndrome) rather than Starlink satellites going haywire and causing the cascade themselves.

> Arithmetics is extremely easy for a neural network to perform and learn perfectly, that LLMs fails to learn it even though it is so easy is strong evidence that LLMs has very limited capability to learn logical structures that can't be represented as grammar.

IDK, there was an article posted here about yet another LLM that performed very badly on the math tests because they mistakenly left out all the math training data.

What impressed me was that it could learn any math at all from just 'reading' books or whatever. Though, perhaps, any correct answer could be attributed to pure luck, dunno.
The complaints around async/await vs threads to my mind have not been that one is more or less complex than the other. It is that it bifurcates the ecosystem and one of them ends up being a second class citizen causing friction when you choose the wrong one for your project.

While you can mix and match them it's hacky and inefficient when you need to. As it stands now the Rust ecosystem has decided that if you want to do anything involving IO you are stuck with an all async/await ecosystem. Since nearly everything you might want to do in Rust probably involves IO with very few exceptions that means for the most part you should probably ignore non-async libraries regardless of whether the rest of your application wants it to be async or not.

There is a hypothetical world where Rust used abstractions that are even more composable than async/await, whose composability really wants everything else to be async/await too. If that had happened then I think most of the complaints would have disappeared.

This is impossible in traditional Lisp, and it’s the source of many of my frustrations. It’s why you can write an algorithm to destructively modify a list at any point — except index zero. The head of the list is the thing that’s used as a reference to the list. This doesn’t happen in Python; it’s why you can have empty arrays set to x and y, push a value onto x, and see it at y.
True, but you are missing the point. A system is secure that acts in its user's best interests. In the case above, 2FA is not in the user's best interest, as defined by the user.

In my experience you can't use more than 3 bluetooth devices at the same time.

Currently I have a headset, a mouse and a keyboard. To add anything else I would have to remove something else.

Last year I've built a simple 3-key macro pad using an esp32 connected via bluetooth. When I tried to use 4 devices at the same time I had a pretty bed time.

I don't know this for sure, but I suspect if you have someone else sitting by you side and also using 3 devices I think the interference could cause some strange behaviour.

Ha! Just because you're only getting flack for this, I once upon a long ago worked on gdpr implementation and it was exactly the same thing.

Our entire team was working overtime and liaising with regulators to figure out what some of those pretty vague statements actually meant when it came down asking user permission for third party analytics and how to ensure we were compliant (what counts as essential, how many non-essential can you reasonably ask someone to review, who creates that list, what happens to the companies not in it, etc.etc.).

Nobody else knew either because they were all looking at us, as we'd be likely to get sued first anyway. Cue the articles after launch on how we either didn't care to do it right or we were actually being our usual evil selves in sneakily not implementing it in properly.
