> If I have an perfect planning/prediction system, I can throw the grungiest, worst perception data into it and it will still plan successfully despite tons of uncertainty.

Not really. Even the perfect planning system will appear eratic in the presence of perception noise. It must be because it can’t create information out of nowhere.

I have seen robots eratically stop because they thought that the traffic in the oncomming lane is enroaching on theirs. You can’t make the planning system ignore that because then sometimes it will collide with people playing chicken with you.

Likewise I have seen robots eratically stop because they thought that a lamp post was slowly reversing out in front of them. All due to perception noise (in this case both location noise, and misclassification.)

And do note that these are just the false positives. If you have a bad perception system you can also suffer from false negatives. Just experiment biases hide those.

So your “perfect planning/prediction” will appear overly cautious while at the same time will be sometimes reckless. Because it doesn’t have the information to not to. You can’t magic plan your way out of that. (Unless you pipe the raw sensor data into the planner, in which case you created a second perception system you are just not calling it perception.)
I'd say: you are absolutely using the right tool. :-)
Okay but make is a shitty build system. What it does have going for it is you can nearly universally expect it to be already installed or easy to install. That makes it a good way to name commands shorter in a portable way, with some dependencies maybe thrown in.

It’s used for the same reason we write shell scripts

Dropping that little telephone icon on the form was designed to act like most of the other objects at your disposal, but it had an additional footgun all its own.

It depended on the existence of the RS-232 Communication Port object, MSCOMM32.OCX. Which often turned up missing :\

Plus unlike most of the other activex objects, mscomm32 had a certificate that was set to expire, and in only about 5 years, but loads of people never knew it until about 5 years later when it happened, and it's been a shitshow ever since Windows XP.

Just searched a bit and the situation may be looking up:

https://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?897698-MSCOMM32-OCX-...

You may still need to "locate" a suitable version of mscomm32.ocx since there are probably more expired versions in archives than there are acceptable files which will register properly.

This may be one, still referred to as a trick at the time:

https://github.com/davidanger/MSCOMM32

You may need to copy mscomm32.ocx to additional Windows folders and register the file there for different versions of Windows and/or Office too.

I love your analogy, even though I disagree with your conclusions. They publish their MMFAM policy right on their website, so you have fair warning that they may be donating a portion of your payment to those pineapple on pizza places, or other places whose views you disagree with.

I'm not saying it's a perfect policy that every company should mimic, but I think many companies may find this model preferable to applying active viewpoint discrimination to the content they host.
Talk quietly, and talk less often?

I pay more attention to people who speak less often.

Additionally, I think you might be making the mistake of sharing your experiences in a way that you think makes you relatable, when really unintentionally you may be coming across self-centred. It’s something I used to do all the time, and something I still unintentionally do from time to time.
Instead of trying to be relatable by sharing your own experiences, perhaps try and ask people engaging questions that suggest you have had an experience, but don’t explicitly state what it was… like for example, perhaps you visited some tourist destination, that someone else also visited… instead of explaining your whole experience, maybe ask a question like “what did you think of the [insert subject matter] at [tourist destination]?”
People like to talk about themselves a lot. I find people like talking to you more when you seem more interested in them, rather than more interested in talking about yourself… if that makes sense?

The poster above you is making a comparison between working a job and finding a job.

Working a job: you spend 8-12 hours at the job and then spend your leisure time doing other things, like studying or meeting friends or watching tv.

Finding a job: you spend 8-12 hours trying to find a job, and then you spend your leisure time doing other things, like volunteering.

The question you posed earlier was, why wouldn't someone just spend all available time (let's say 16 hours per day) trying to find a job, instead of doing anything else, like volunteering. The poster above you was responding to that, trying to demonstrate how the same suggestion would be ridiculous in the context of working a job, and it should be equally ridiculous in the context of finding a job.

It was changed in 737-400. Before it only took air from the right engine, but 737-400 took from both. In the Kegworth air disaster, which was caused by a failed blade and the system causing a fire trying to compensate by injection of more fuel, the pilot assumed the fire was in right engine and turned it off as crew never notified them which engine was burning. When they discovered the error the speed was too low to kickstart the engine.

> Do you have some examples of large and complex C# applications with really good performance?

Most of them. An implementation would have to go out of its way to make itself perform poorly if it is built on top of, say, .NET 8.

Have you heard of Ryujinx? Or Nethermind? Or Garnet? Or have you seen that .NET's Regex engine, written in pure C#, is the third fastest in the world after Intel's Hyperscan and Rust's Regex crate?
This is the 40% that OP mentioned. But there's a proportion on people/engineers that are just clueless and are incapable of understanding code. I don't know the proportion so can't comment on the 50% number, but hey definitely exist.

If you never worked with them, you should count yourself lucky.

To be fair, .NET back then was just not where it is today. And the C++ faction within Microsoft did not help that either.

Because how do you propose doing reparations without causing the exact problem I’m describing?

After all, there are practical problems of who is eligible, how long, and who gets to decide that.

Not only that, but at that point there is now strong financial incentives to be in specific groups. At least while the money flows.

Not everyone can be eligible, or it loses all meaning. Someone has to pay, or it can’t be funded.

Someone has to be officially the victim, and officially the offender, or such a program can’t actually exist. Etc.

These aren’t modern problems either, and this isn’t ‘modern’ racism, whatever that is. [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupation_of_Alcatraz]
It does not really, at least not directly. What matters is relative velocity compared to the starting and final locations, and relative to the air around the aircraft. It just happens that there are very powerful atmospheric currents that go west to east (those are due to the earth’s rotation, among others phenomena).

So, when flying towards the east, catching these currents can significantly reduce flying time. When flying towards the west, we want to avoid them by flying below or elsewhere.

Simple answer: Zero. Because the planes move inside the atmosphere, which moves with the earth.

A more nuisance would be that earth rotating generate all sorts of things in the atmosphere, including winds and Coriolis effect on the winds, and you can account for that considering the winds. Btw a flight from Chile to France and back, will have a leg significantly shorter (up to 2 hs in a 13hs flight) and which leg it is, depends on the time of the year.
This is making me quite curious, how does it compare to modern MacBooks which I’ve come to consider to have excellent sound?

I guess this is an effect of declarative programming and layered abstractions. The declarative syntax and abstraction are an answer to code being repetitive and long and hard to follow, but this then creates its own issues by making it harder to reason (especially for beginners or occasional users) about what is actually going on. The price for learning how to get it right just becomes much higher with every layer of abstraction inbetween, because you always have to learn what's going on underneath the "cushions" anyway.

For me typical examples are Terraform configurations with their abstracted configuration syntax, which just mimicks some other configuration (e.g. AWS) and executes it in an environment where I don't necessarily have access to. Of course I'm not going to run endless experiments by reading documentation, assembling my own config and running it in painful slow CI pipelines until it works. I'll rather copy it from another project where it works and then go back to work on things that are actually relevant and specific for the business.
Futurist Programming Notes (1994)
That wasn’t my experience a few years ago with a large groovy-dsl project. Since groovy will take a look in several different namespaces to automatically resolve things in a script, editors I tried had no hope of telling me what anything was.

Also, groovy allows modification of private instance variables which leads to … un-fun situations. I converted tens of thousands of lines of groovy to Kotlin. A lot of those lines were automated. Too many were not automatable for myriad reasons.

As far as the magic in Kotlin, I can easily click through all keywords and jump to the implementation in IJ. Groovy (at the time and in the project I was in) was utterly hopeless in this regard.
I agree server CPUs are underprovisioned for memBW. Each core's share is 2-4 GB/s, whereas each could easily drive 10 GB/s (Intel) or 20+ (AMD).

I also agree "some" (for example low-arithmetic-intensity) workloads will not benefit from a second L1 read port.

But surely there are other workloads, right? If I want to issue one FMA per cycle, streaming from two arrays, doesn't that require maintaining two loads per cycle?

There are better ways of asking this.

The incredulousness is valid, but the way you’ve posed this question is so inherently biased it reads as tone deaf, as if the parent couldn’t possibly have witnessed this.

Reality is a lot stranger than you might expect, if you can believe people can hold out for a junior engineer with 5+ years experience and a $50k salary: you can believe this.
The general populace seems convinced that black box recorders are made of adamantium and can return data even if the plane falls into a black hole.

Meanwhile every time I read about a crash, I'm horrified by how primitive the requirements (and implementation) appear to be.

This reminds me of my favourite method for reviewing software I had never heard of: I check the release notes. If version v17 has "now uses transactions" then that means that the developers were happy to release the first sixteen major versions with data corruption as a feature. (Conversely, if the notes only mention fantastically obscure scenarios being fixed, then the basic issues have been fixed long ago.)

Battery backup being introduced in 2010 as a requirement is absolutely insane. It's not like batteries or battery backup are new technologies! This stuff has been around forever. Why on earth was this not a requirement decades ago!?
> Is salt really that bad?

No, salt is good because it helps you to eat unpalatable, nutritious food.

To me, it sounded an awful lot like they really want to be paid to host content but are also desperately trying to avoid the negative backlash of hosting it.

To make matters worse, they openly call their paying customers morons.

It would be very hard to take a stance that's worse than this, to be honest.

I think people can have unconscious bias.

But in hiring, I think it's mostly conscious. What I mean is that I think people will see a long Indian name they can't pronounce and skip that resume or put it off until later. That's conscious. They'll see someone who looks like themselves and feel more comfortable talking to them. That's conscious. Etc.
Sure if you are doing embedded programming in C. How does one do this in web development though where there are hundreds of dependencies that get updated monthly and still add functionality and keep their job?
Very cool. After a minute I was able to focus on the false “third” image of the overlap of each side, but I couldn’t notice any difference. It did appear to be closer to me than the screen though.
Every single language has parts that are a mess, or at least not perfectly designed. But that doesn't mean that languages all have an equal amount of mess. Python clearly has less mess than Perl. Rust clearly has less mess than C++. Zig clearly has less mess than C.

There should be a name for the "nothing is perfect so everything is equally bad" fallacy. It's surprisingly common.
I had the same idea after watching Hunger Games. Played around with the concept for a few weeks and then eventually tossed it. My first interaction with Fortnite was when I saw them selling t-shirts in a brick and mortar shop.

But I don't feel hard done by, I'm sure many people had similar ideas around that time, and I never executed. I also have no idea how I would get a large multiplayer game off the ground without funding. The idea of making even a two-player game scares me.

I didn't say "type declarations can lead to a messy middle ground in Common Lisp" - obviously they exist there for a reason, but, maybe they DON'T exist in Clojure, also for good reasons, no?

ABCL does exist, sure, and there's also LCL for Lua. Yet, 8 out of 10 developers today, for whatever reasons would probably use Fennel to write Lispy-code to target Lua and probably more devs would choose Clojure (not ABCL) to target JVM. That doesn't make either Fennel nor Clojure "far superior" than Common Lisp and vice-versa.

Yes? You're presenting this as some kind of gotcha but isn't that what the ultimate goal is?

But another that I myself benefited from was a government that paid for everyone's education from elementary to university level, allowing me to go from a blue collar lower class to a comfortable middle class income level.

The biggest question for me, is what happened between the bird strikes and both engines shutting down? Why was the decision made to go around instead of continuing the approach? How quickly did both engines fail?

> managed to successfully navigate it to the runway. With the gear up.

Sadly they did not, well technically yes, they did physically locate the runway, however they were also traveling too high, too fast, and crashed.

> If the gear was down it would look very much like a regular _landing_

It would have still been a very unstable landing half way down the runway with limited braking, no reversers, no spoilers, no flaps. It's very likely they would have still ended up off the end of the runway.

> What precisely went wrong considering the gear _had_ been down previously?

They chose to do a go-around, selected gear up, then with both engines failed the only way to lower the gear is manually, the handles are on the floor aft of the first officers seat. Their would not have been time to access them between when they had lost both engines and were on the ground while also flying the aircraft.

I'm not saying I know what happened, I'm saying that the key to preventing future accidents like this will be in the moments before they lost both engines. After they lost both engines it's clear they aircrew tried to very quickly turn the plane around and land the runway, I have pretty serious doubts that there was any actions that could've made that a successful landing, and if there was, they'll be found in a simulator not on the FDR of the aircraft that DIDN'T make the successful landing.
I don't think this is true at all, everyone here eats a lot of salt.
