I had a job about twenty years ago where at some point a sort of freelance tea lady started coming round. Basically had a van full of bacon rolls and a tea urn, and would drive up to office buildings and offer to come in and sell tea and rolls to the employees. The boss agreed, because it made his employees happier and cost him nothing. She made a killing. We got bacon rolls at our desks. It was entrepreneurship at its finest. Silicon Valley could never.

That guy looks lazy and bad at his job. Compare that ad to this famous Excel ad from the 90s.

The guy in the Excel commercial comes off as cool, confident, and skilled at using Excel. Both ads show off the speed of the tool in high stakes scenarios, but the Apple one makes the user look like an idiot. Also the Apple ad shows everyone with macs, so he has no advantage over everyone else.
Love it or not (mostly not), shipping software in large organizations requires navigating what the business and its leaders demand. You can try while ignoring leaders, but you'd be unlikely to ship anything.

You'd be in good company.

In my experience, there are plenty of people at BigCos who are more interested in covering their ass to ship nothing or the wrong things.

The core idea of FIPS doesn't seem terrible at first glance: a validation program to ensure known attacks are protected against.

The obvious issue is that known attacks have progressed significantly faster than FIPS has been updated, so in practice it doesn't defend against actual attackers. Compliance-based security pretty much always falls into this trap, and often is even worse because compliance with the standard is considered the maximum that can be done instead of the minimum that must be done. FIPS' fatal flaw is that in many cases it mandates a maximum security level that is now outdated.

It's a lot like building or electrical codes: if they're treated as the minimum as intended things stay safe, but if they're just barely complied with then buildings tend to fall down and/or catch fire.
The article states he was at 1,900 feet in heavy rain with nonfunctional instument panels. He was there, he's got the experience, and he ejected (which is dangerous too).

Maybe the commandant of the Marines would have liked a better headline, but another way of looking at it is the pilot lost his video server and really needed a functioning screen. I just threw away a video card in exactly the same scenario, and I felt I was troubleshooting far too long as it was. Maybe the commandant wanted the pilot to troubleshoot on the ground? But the computer was not any better after it hit the ground.

Shouldn't the roofline inform capacity assessments?
I disagree. First, remember that we’re not talking about doors here, but walls. Specifically, a door plug which is a type of wall segment that can be put into the space where room was left in the airframe for an optional door. If you cannot get that detail correct, maybe your opinion doesn’t count for much.

Second, the steps for assembly of an airplane are all very important. If any of them are skipped or left out somehow, the plane will break! You can’t engineer your way out of this problem either: the more ways you add of attaching that door plug to the airframe, the more possibilities there are for mistakes. That’s why the assembly process requires one team to install the plug and another team to verify that installation was completed correctly and according to the specifications.

Any time you have managers using semantics to weasel their way out of the inspections that verify that the plane was assembled correctly, that’s the mistake. Full stop. Fire those idiots.
This is the correct answer!

This is one of the features of https://codescene.com/

It looks for knowledge islands and relates those to frequently modified code, to identify hotspot, or areas of high risk due to low knowledge distribution in areas of high change.

Another use is if someone hands in their notice you can easily see all the code that only they know, so your handover planning is mapped out easily.

I’ve never thought of it being used maliciously, it’s for visibility. It would be a shitty manager that would use it that way and if they’re already shitty then this tool won’t change that.

Your source doesn't really back up your claim that it's improved the local ecosystem. It very firmly says that we'll need a few more decades to have any idea how beneficial it is.

Woah, I could not believe this post, until I looked it up. Wiki says: <<On 24 October 2014, Brazil and Sweden signed a 39.3 billion SEK (US$5.44 bn, R$13 bn) contract for 28 Gripen E (single-seat version) and eight Gripen F (dual-seat version) fighters for delivery from 2019 to 2024 and maintained until 2050>>

That is 150M USD per plane. However, this might include maintenance costs, which would make it different from most F35 purchases that I have seen. Does anyone know any more specific details?

Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saab_JAS_39_Gripen
Interesting way to look at it.

I suppose I have trouble seeing it that way because I view words as pointers to meaning. The word itself holds no intrinsic value; it's the meaning humans attach to it and the context in which it's used that gives it significance.

When we give "thinking" a scientifically testable definition we can reason around it in a more academic way.

I've read psych papers that defined "thinking" as cognition, measured by action potentials. A participant was said to be "thinking more" when their EEG showed increased activity.

It's important to understand that "thinking" here was only defined within the context of the paper.

To use an analogy, many people say their computer is thinking when it's undergoing a heavy processor load. Strictly speaking this is not the case, their computer cannot think, but they aren't wrong or incorrect because in that context 'thinking' literally means 'processing'.

There is an option for some movies that are not too rare, but are arthouse enough to not get on the regular streaming services, called Movie On Demand (MOD), where movies are provided on DVD-R.

It's not redefining the word. It literally is a subsidy to not tax carbon, according to core mainstream accepted economic principles.

Whether you agree or disagree with carbon taxes, it is simply true that not having them is a subsidy.

Fully agree but as usual it was more complicated than this even.

This post is about corporate politics, not "shipping projects." To wit:

If you ship something users hate and makes no money, but
your leadership team is happy, you still shipped. You can
feel any way you like about that, but it’s true. If you
don’t like it, you should probably go work for companies
that really care how happy their users are.

When the stated goal is to make leadership happy and not solving customer problems such that customers are "happy", that is pretty much the definition of politics. As subsequently identified therein:

Engineers who think shipping means delivering a spec or
deploying code will repeatedly engineer their way into
failed ships.

I would question the ethics of engineers whom employ a strategy of preferring politics over delivering solutions.

EDIT: clarified the ethical question.
> instead of penalizing him

He wasn’t disciplined. But he was penalised. Which strikes me as the right balance given the facts.

There are two kinds of jobs: those where the person’s employment is more important than their work, and those where it isn’t. This is the latter. He’s still getting paid. But he should not have this responsibility. It you’re making excuses after losing a plane when you shouldn’t have, because you were following bad instructions, you should not have an operational command.
You're correct, I signed a contract that says they own my free time. I didn't exactly want to, and I firmly believe it's wrong. Nevertheless, it's easy to say I fucked up when you don't know my exact situation. This is my first job and there are a lot of other benefits that made it the best option for me personally, even when there were alternatives that had no such clause.
It's not such a big deal. You can always blow cover smoke by saying you were talking with your doctor, or a family member about a medical issue.
I don't discount it entirely, but as I remarked, I'm sceptical of that entire methodology, because it doesn't sound like they've controlled for acclimation, which experience says has a significant effect, and because the result itself is (perhaps consequently?) surprising.
Thank you for looking that up, I was on mobile and being lazy. So it looks like he’s done some decent sized stuff.
Well, in my opinion, 1) you have to feed yourself in real life, you should pull your weight in prison too, and 2) the whole reason you're there is that you did something presumably wrong, and the consequences for that have to suck if they're going to motivate you to not do it anymore.
I'm not really sure what maintenance costs over that period in a contract look like: certainly getting them down to a number introduces a bunch more risks for someone (inflation etc), and not having them has other risks. Getting numbers here is sadly hard, and I agree my comparison might be not apples to apples.

Even if the flyaway cost of a Grippen is $50 million the number of planes to accomplish the same mission is a lot more, and some of that number will be lives lost. I'm pretty confident it's within half an order of magnitude of F-35 price.
This is great, thanks!

GitHub and/or GitHub pages is the only sensible answer here.
Subsidy does not solely refer to direct payment. It can also refer to not taxing certain goods. By that standard definition, it is literally a subsidy to not tax carbon (as in a just market it would be taxed).

Quoting Wikipedia "Subsidies take various forms— such as direct government expenditures, tax incentives, soft loans, price support, and government provision of goods and services."

I think the author has a narrower definition of what subsidy means. They seem to think direct payment is a subsidy and other forms are "effective" subsidies. But this is a false distinction, and the fact that they project that narrow definition onto a standard economic term, does not make the initial communication false, which by the way, is from the international monitary fund, and likely directed towards an audience of the economically literate. In such a context, using the word subsidy is far from misleading.

It’s possible. But note that there has been a lot of criticism of the F–35 since the inception of the program because it’s a multi–role fighter–bomber jack–of–all–trades that tries to satisfy everybody. Partly this is a political problem. Combat airplanes are expensive to design and need political approval. So you have to get every branch of the military to sign on to the project simultaneously, otherwise you’ll never even start. Therefore the thing has to be a ground–attack bomber for the Army, because they want to replace the Warthog. And it needs to be a VTOL for the Navy, so that they don’t have to build a supercarrier for it. And the Marines need X, the Coast Guard wants Y, the Girl Scouts really rely on Z, and on and on and on. And of course it goes without saying that you had better be able to mount any and every weapon system ever designed to the thing.

And it has to be Stealth.

Something I think about in stories is "how strong is the emotional hook."

This one is great! A guy fighting his controls, weighing the risk to his life, a Top Gun-style commander of a squadron, ejecting (well, an hour) before the plane explodes.

It scores low on the "relevance" scorecard, but it's off the charts in terms of human interest, and I think it's climbing due to the latter.

Like in any other business, anywhere else, there are companies who handle liquidating their assets. They have regular auctions. I've bought a ton of great equipment for my business from them. They have an online auction, you bid and win, if you win you go (often to the failed startup itself) and pick up yoir stuff at a predetermined meeting time. They often have very weird, very specific tech startup things like biotechnology lab equipment, etc. for much discounted prices.

Lots of cheaper HF stuff like the G106 can be controlled, and there seems to be one or two CAT VHF/UHF radios you can find used for less.

Any Baofeng can be connected to a raspberry Pi with a soundcard and a few passives, it can't be tuned but it can send and receive audio on a manually configured channel, and you can use multiple at once if there's only a few channels of interest in your area.

A HackRF and some filtering and an amplifier will work, it might not be the best quality audio, but we've got AI enhancement now so that's not the worst thing.

He didn’t lose the controls _or_ the instruments. He lost his HUD and the primary flight display. But the standby instrument display was still working correctly, and the fly–by–wire system was still accepting input and acting on it correctly. Sure, if those things had failed then ejecting would have been fine. But he didn’t even check them to see if they were still working or not, he just bailed out of a flyable plane.

Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act
To work towards eliminating PFAS in everyday products, I envisioned a service where people could send in things they own to have them tested, and the results would be published on a website/app and searchable via barcode. Win/win: users get free PFAS testing, and the service gets free products to test to create a database.

I researched how to perform rigorous PFAS testing but it looks like the best method is PIGE which requires a particle accelerator, which aren’t exactly easy to come by.

Anyway just posting this in case anyone has thoughts or would be interested in working on something like this.
