I believe op means Swift is different because Apple is the gatekeeper at the top of the Swift project https://www.swift.org/community/#project-lead

By contrast, other open languages usually have elected leadership and aren’t directly subject to a specific corporation.
This kind of analysis is interesting but must be considered rapidly outdated since we won't know what's changing behind the scenes at YouTube. Have they ever revealed whether their VCU handles the audio?
Yeah, so similar to what I said, the transponder didn't work with that system as that article speculates the UH-60 didn't have it. My suggestion was that you could display what ATC has, hence the data distribution part of my comment. But I guess we could just accept what the article tells us that it would be too dangerous to display that info at lower altitudes and allow pilots to make the call and that we just have to live with these incidents then...

> if you're not just listing the nines on your system as a whole

At scale the nines of your feature flagging system become the nines of your company.

We have a massive distributed systems architecture handling billions in daily payment volume, and flags are critical infra.

Teams use flags for different things. Feature rollout, beta test groups, migration/backfill states, or even critical control plane gates. The more central a team's services are as common platform infrastructure, the more important it is that they handle their flags appropriately, as the blast radius of outages can spiral outwards.

Teams have to be able to competently handle their own flags. You can't be sure what downstream teams are doing: if they're being safe, practicing good flag hygiene, failing closed/open, keeping sane defaults up to date, etc.

Mistakes with flags can cause undefined downstream behavior. Sometimes state corruption (eg. with complicated multi-stage migrations) or even thundering herds that take down systems all at once. You hope that teams take measures to prevent this, but you also have to help protect them from themselves.

> slowly-changing, centrally-managed system state at runtime

With flags being so essential, we have to be able to service them with near-perfect uptime. We must be able to handle application / cluster restart and make sure that downstream services come back up with the correct flag states for every app that uses flags. In the case of rolling restarts with a feature flag outage, the entire infrastructure could go hard down if you can't do this robustly. You're never given the luxury of knowing when the need might arise, so you have to engineer for resiliency.

An app can't start serving traffic with the wrong flags, or things could go wrong. So it's a hard critical dependency to make sure you're always available.

Feature flags sit so closely to your overall infrastructure shape that it's really not a great idea to outsource it. When you have traffic routing and service discovery listening to flags, do you really want LaunchDarkly managing that?
Good context for the "magic keywords" from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42901362 which is now folded:

> The list is on the last page of this document: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/17Vi9dDtZvbwHDafrygRG... It looks like it's a page that was photocopied from a book about how to write a resume. It's a list of dozens of incredibly generic verbs like "manage", "analyze", "administer", "make", "improve", "design", etc. pretty much any resume will have at least some of these verbs.

So it's not a secret code, but rather "tailor your CV for the job, ok?"
Why are they not being trained for free after passing aptitude tests? It sounded like people still needed to pay for their college to even get to the ATC specific training.

> It literally feels like the walls are closing in and there's not enough Adderall that can fix that.

My psychiatrist told me that when using any amphetamine-based medication for ADHD, it's important to see it as a way to reinforce routines and habits, whatever they may be, and not necessarily a fix to ADHD itself but rather as a tool to help my brain.

With that in mind, I was advised to take my medication and immediately start doing the things I usually struggle with. For me, that just meant getting to work on specific tasks or studying specific things. Sticking to this approach made a huge difference in how well the medication worked for me.

Over time, I was able to lower my dose, and now I find it much easier to settle into a routine. While the medication can dull my creativity, I've learned to work around that by adjusting when I take it and planning out my work accordingly.

In the case my workload or life changes I tend to get back to my old dosage for a short period until new routines settle, I'm very fortunate to have a family doctor that understands this and is willing to change dosages when needed.

I'm not sure how this would play out with extended-release versions or if this applies to your situation, but I figured it was worth sharing.

Also curious to know if this approach has worked particularly well for me but not for others, or if you take the same approach already.

I'm not saying society can't or shouldn't adapt to neurodivergent people, but it is absolutely necessary for all such adaptations to be made with the understanding "this is a problem with the individual, but we have the good will to make life easier for them anyway."
> About control - serious question: how is this different from for example Rust, Go, Zig or Python?

You can ask Chris Lattner about how many many changes were forced through the language before they were ready, or even properly designed, because Apple needed them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovYbgbrQ-v8
That sounds great, and I care enough about this that I moved somewhere with well-designed transit, but I still think it's a problematic policy. Some people might want to live in a bigger place further out, and if they're willing to make the long commute (and pay for its negative externalities, which most aren't) then I don't see why they can't.

I actually prefer to bike to work, but I doubt any employer would be willing to give me my hourly rate for that...

I have a peculiar relationship with Galloway as a figure, which manifests in that when I watch/listen to/read things he makes, I rapidly oscillate between "he got it all figured out" and "this man has no idea what he's talking about" and the rest of this comment is about the man himself and the system he represents, not the article in question, so if you want that focused discussion go ahead and scroll, it's not going to be here.

I have consumed no other creator's work who gets so shockingly, agonizing close to understanding what's wrong than Galloway who also manages to, regularly, immediately shift back into pro-America, pro-capitalism, pro status quo without his brain physically splitting in half, and it's genuinely a feat of mental gymnastics. He's previously advocated for removing section 230 protection for algorithmically elevated content (great idea!) but also thinks TikTok is a deliberate plot by the Chinese to make Western country's populaces think our country sucks, as though tons of us don't have... an entire lived experience under Western capitalism already telling us that? Scott, I didn't need the Chinese government to tell me that needing to spend $1,500 on an ambulance to get to the hospital that will bankrupt me because my appendix exploded sucks ass. I put that one together myself.

And I say all of this to say he is such an incredible distillation of what is, in my opinion, actually wrong with Western nations and Westerners: the just... shocking levels of incuriousity. This man has clearly been thoroughly educated, but his mind is utterly trapped within the notion of how great America is, presumably because he grew up in a time where it was and it was, in fact, so great, and more importantly, that it was still permitting some of that dividend to fall to people who weren't already loaded. And the reaction to this educated, clearly intelligent man who is identifying all these problems with our society is not to suggest a better society, no, it's to utterly mentally backflip onto "communists are propagandizing our children." He identifies that the government is staffed to the gills with people even older than he is, even more indoctrinated than he is, but can't cross the Rubicon of actually criticizing the system that put them there. He is fully aware of how the Boomer generation has utterly decimated the ability of it's own and all subsequent children to make a decent living via catastrophic wealth transfers and tax policies, while letting the nation their parents gifted them utterly ROT, but his solution is to fuck over people with student loans even harder than they've already been fucked because goodness knows, he isn't ready to pay back any of the money transferred to him, no matter how much he's ready to complain about it.

I'll commend him for his ability to actually see and bear witness to the problems plaguing the young, that makes him better than 90% of his contemporaries right out of the gate. However his solutions are more free markets, more chest beating, more of what already brought us to the precipice of a ruined world and just, nah man. Hardest conceivable pass please.

>easy to live “without money” if you know people with money

In a world of overall abundance or prosperity this might seem like easy living, but isn't that how it's supposed to be ?

Now it does seem like the article has a lot of emphasis on the generosity of those around her who are experiencing plentiful resources, and one is not nearly as impressive without the other. But I do get the idea that her generosity in return represents an even greater personal commitment than from those owning the money, to try and overcompensate for the less-impressive nature of not having cash herself to combine with generosity when showing her appreciation for her benefactors. It is a certain kind of privilege when someone without cash can be as generous as someone who has it, or even more so sometimes.

Realistically mathematically this would probably work best if you not only know people with money, but they are routinely throwing away so much of it, and your living expenses so insignificant by comparison, that the benefactor is enthusiastic about supplying the currency difference to make it possible in an otherwise cash-conscious world. There would be no worries about whether or not you had any money at all, and regardless could very well result in the most financially stable and secure-feeling environment some people have ever been in.

Pretty unrealistic for so many people.

Speaking of cash, how about don't even try to forget about it. Go the other way. Just try to use it more.

Yup, I mean, go without credit :)

Bet you can't do it.

Go ahead, use all the cash you want, it may be a better gauge of transaction obstacles in your own world relative to a village life for someone who's not handling cash.

Just don't try it if you have negative net worth or you'll be worse off in the world of credit than a person without money is in a world of cash.

At least in a world of cash there can be a little to spare, but in a world of credit "everybody" is so far in debt that it makes generosity into an endangered species, almost extinct in many environments where it once thrived.
Which isn't the same as single site collection or even selling "anonomizied" aggregate data or training data.
I'm arguing that DEI/"biographical" standards are indicative of greater rot. The one and only priority of the FAA should be the safe and efficient operation of our nation's airways.

That we would sacrifice any amount of safety/efficiency in pursuit of other goals is a major problem.

I also apply this thinking to other fed gov programs (eg NSF, DoD, etc)

Edit: in other words, how many lives should we sacrifice in our civilian air travel to achieve equity?
Given that it's BWT, the difference should be the most prominent on codebases with huge amounts of mostly equivalent files. Most compression algorithms won't help if you get an exact duplicate of some block when it's past the compression window (and will be less efficient if near the end of the window).

But here's a practical trick: sort files by extension and then by name before putting them into an archive, and then use any conventional compression. It will very likely put the similar-looking files together, and save you space. Done that in practice, works like a charm.

Article has an error, Apple themselves tells you the automated transcription for voice memos unable to be disabled regardless of settings for Apple Unintelligence. I was hoping this article signaled some change in this policy. So I verified that every last setting is set to disable and recorded a 30 second voice memo. On conclusion the recording displays with the parentheses comment bubble, so I click view transription and immediately there is the perfect transcription of my recording. Now I just removed half of my follow-up on this :) because I decided to make this simply a correction to the article. But I did recently purchase a $5 audio recorder app that claims no info collected -- most collect something.

You are conflating multiple different instances of current FAA employees providing outside racial identity groups with both hard and soft answer keys, the buzzword filter was just the first stage.

Later and probably most egregiously, there was a completely nonsensical and arbitrary biographical questionnaire which was scored like:

https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.182...

15. The high school subject in which I received my lowest grades was:
A. SCIENCE (+15)
B. MATH (0)
C. ENGLISH (0)
D. HISTORY/SOCIAL SCIENCES (0)
E. PHYSICAL EDUCATION (0)

16. Of the following, the college subject in which I received my lowest grades was:
A. SCIENCE (0)
B. MATH (0)
C. ENGLISH (0)
D. HISTORY/POLITICAL SCIENCE (+15)
E. DID NOT ATTEND COLLEGE (0)

29. My peers would probably say that having someone criticize my performance (i.e. point out a mistake) bothers me:
A. MUCH LESS THAN MOST (+8)
B. SOMEWHAT LESS THAN MOST (+4)
C. ABOUT THE SAME AS MOST (+8)
D. SOMEWHAT MORE THAN MOST (0)
E. MUCH MORE THAN MOST (+10)

where current FAA employees, again, distributed the exact answer key to outside racial identity groups to give to their members.
Yes. The same AI we watch hallucinate on our code making clearance decisions for vehicles full of human lives. How HN of you!
These are sentiments I can agree with.

Replacing products with sound principles is a primary mission, and at
its core is an educational project. I still think Ranum's "dumbest
ideas in security" are a treasure-trove and so we debated them on
Cybershow.

My reservations are:

Zero Trust is an unfortunate hyperbolic misnomer. For now it's the
best we've got. Sure, it's a necessary reaction to the many awful and
plainly wrong ideas in security still around today, but I think it can
be misleading and even counterproductive. Nothing happens without
trust. The big deal is whether you trust your verification
methods. Obviously therein lie regressions and madness.

It is no surprise that NSA put emphasis on "continuous monitoring" as
that's their core mindset. There ain't no such thing. See sampling
theory and beware of grandiosity like "collect it all" and "total
information awareness". Over-monitoring, and automating can lead to
other regressive problems, like data management, and then monitoring
the "autonomous" processes for trust. Visibility is not the only
dimension to security and to think otherwise is omnipotent. Nowhere in
these kind of documents do I see the word "correctness". Which is
worrying for people who value formalities and mathematics. There is a
gap between engineering and security mindsets - one that Ross Anderson
tried so hard to bridge (with significant success)

Also, a plug for Zero Trust World 2025 [0] in Florida, which we'll be
attending (boosting Threalocker's application whitelisting drive).

From what I can tell looking at SpinLaunch's website and web search, they were founded in 2014, "launched" a couple projectiles in atmosphere, had a leadership change in 2022, and have been pretty quiet since then.

Unless I've missed something, the headline "Giant catapult sends satellites into space" is not true. To date, they have not put anything into orbit and the company appears to be on life support.

Elon is allowed to vote in his self interest. If he owned 51% this should still stand. The fact that he had a majority yes without his own vote makes this doubly true.

There are plans in place to cut medicaid to reduce the corporate tax. Trump is in full DGAF mode, he's not running for president again so his mask is off. Heck, at the speeds he's going he may get everything he wants in place before Midterms anyway.

We’re seeing a shift away from shareholder sovereignty to cult of the founder. Texas is an alternative to the former, which is the Delaware default.
Ridiculous. If the market thought that was realistic it would have been priced in.
I assumed they were referring to something like this but wanted to be sure. It's also way the fuck off base to call this a concentration camp for undesirables with all the insinuations of Nazism that come with that. This kind of Trump = Hilter hyperbole at the drop of a hat hazes all the very real and heavy criticisms that can be made of this administration.

Gitmo being used as a transit camp for deported illegal immigrants is not at all as say, Sachsenhausen or Dachau being used to illegally dumb german citizens and torture them there indefinitely because they criticized the ruling regime. When Trump starts trying to dump opposing intellectuals, Hollywood producers and "wayward" reporters or writers into Gitmo for indefinite detention, then we can make some firmer claims of literal dictatorship.

If anything, the use of Gitmo under Bush II, when actual U.S citizens were held there indefinitely under terrorism charges was closer to the mark than this now.
Not comparable. That is a quantized distill.
The names of the groups are taken directly from the official allocation XML from the International ISBN Organization. This is what they call it, I assume to distinguish it from "Germany". Maybe "German language publishers" would be appropriate.

What is your source for how the biographical assessment was graded? If you read the tracingwoodgrains blog post, he is saying that Shelton Snow, the guy from the association of black employees left voicemails telling people what the correct answers to the biographical assessment questions were. But if you read my comment above, this person seems to have been pretending to have insider knowledge and access - the secret buzzwords he sent around seem to just be a photocopy from a generic resume writing book. I don't think anything that Snow said about the application process can be taken at face value.

If you have another source for how the assessment was actually graded, I'd love to see it, but as far as I can tell, these claims are coming from a guy who seemed to just be making stuff up.
I don't know either. Speed skating is an Olympic sport, so it is practiced in multiple countries, but you can bet it has a relatively small pool of professional players compared to something like tennis or hockey.
