Yea pretty much this. I was never asked if I wrote in Rust. I'm still desperately trying to get out of Python hell, which is admittedly different than Java hell, but it really feels very much the same to me. Honestly, I'd even be happy with Go if I could make that happen. Or, fuck it, just go back to C++

Possibly that. Or it's just not always that simple to detect, particularly when you don't know the sender very well.

For reference, this is why we have ambassadors to build relationships with touch points of foreign nations. If nations simply just emailed or texted back and forth, we'd all be dead from WW3 ages ago. But yes, apparently I missed that one. Good eye. Haha

That's a very strong statement that's ignoring a lot of critical aspects of computing engineering, the most glaring being human error by the programmer or the application designer. Just because it compiles does not imply that it does the desired work and handles all the edge cases. Not crashing isn't a useful success metric for code that is expected to make life/death decisions -- it needs to reliably not make poor decisions, and by "reliably" I mean "every time". Java posted a "don't use me to run nuclear reactors or really anything else that matters, ever" on every Windows install up through at least Windows 2k. When shit matters as a core property of function, it matters a lot.

But, hey, I wish you and your new startup a lot of luck. Though, I'd really appreciate it if you'd do me a solid and let me know what you name this new company so that I can ensure that I never personally interact with it during my travels. That'd be great. Thanks!
 

I think the problem here is that bold claims like this generate bold liability. How perfect do you feel your Rust ATC code will be? Any loss of life due to failure has previously been attributed to human error, but once you claim you have software that does this job "perfectly", well then everyone expects perfection for all scenarios. If your software fails, your company (ie, you) will be the scapegoat. Heavy fines are inevitable, and jail for negligence is always possible - after all, how come you didn't account for that previously unknown situation that happened only once but killed 400 otherwise healthy people in the process.

I don't disagree with your sentiment though. We should be using software to perform most of the ATC minutia and allowing humans to simply be observers, only engaged for the few unhandled emergency conditions. I just think that getting to that spot is rife with challenges beyond the software itself.

If you look briefly into the economics of the journals industry, you'll quickly realize that they are highly motivated to publish as many papers as possible.
Their customers are universities, which they hold hostage via paywalls controlling access to the "complete and prestigious catalog" of the journal.
The more content they have, the more valuable their catalog appears.

However, the real goal of these journals is not to promote science. Shocker, they aren't ran by scientists. They are ran by businessmen, whose only real goal is to make money. And so, here we are, with journals that excitedly publish mountains of folly to keep their money machine printing.

Journals are, at best, about as accurate as your local newspaper. At worst, well, think of mainstream cable news.

It's almost like there is a ton of documentation and prior case history that helps us determine if a threat qualifies as a crime. :)

Your order of 9x Carls Jr fish sandwiches has been submitted

Only matters where they try to apply it.

At this point, you can figure that ~50% of voting Americans are disgruntled to some degree, and as of 2020 only ~60% of eligible voters bothered to show up - so you're statistically guaranteed to have ~30% of all Americans rank poorly according this sort of tool.

Being irritated isn't a crime. Hell, posting unrealistic threats isn't even a crime.

Makes me wonder why this tool even has any face value.

Well, we could go back to horses instead...
but something about methane livestock farts being a greenhouse gas;
all the roads being lined with decomposing feces;
animal quality of life, breeding practices;
all the feed necessary to support 1.5 horses per household so we can all keep heading into work every day;
stable space and hands to keep them while we're out and about...

This kinds seems like maybe cars really are the better whip

But if you like it, then hey man, you go do you.

I recommend you make a youtube channel for it though - you might as well capitalize on all the other nostalgists

Are you talking about, man?

Yup! This is basic narrative manipulation at its finest.

As they say in Washington (and probably a good many other places as well):

JT may have some pro mentors guiding him with the long ball, but he's really gotta work on his short game a bit to avoid looking like such an obvious clown.

Because someone needed a payday. It could have been a relative, a friend, or a past creditor. Regardless, looks like they got paid today.

This only works so long as tradesmen remain hungry for work and willing to accept less than adequate wages. Tradesmen build literally everything that we all enjoy within this physical world. It seems foolish to me for us to try to leave them all behind via wage gap. Imo, there are forces at work depressing their wages that will not stand the test of time.

That seems like a weird way to describe my grandparents, and it's attacking my point on the long-year side, which matters a lot less (which should obvious to anyone with children). Small kids need stability to really thrive, and they really don't need nor deserve the turmoil produced from short-term failed relationships. If you have any verified research to share that shows kids actually thrive best within unstable home environments during the 0-18 years, I'm more than happy to read it.

So is caffeine (I'm 1000% guilty here and probably most of this site as well). The line for "hard drug" is difficult to draw, as it is subjective. Having consumed weed myself, I'd place it at about the abusiveness and addictiveness level of alcohol (as I sip some scotch, wine, and diet soda while I type this, in that order). The issue really isn't the drug, but rather the total effect it has upon your daily life and the impression of "responsible social behavior" that you bestow upon your kin. If you're missing recitals and soccer practice because you're stoned-AF, that's a problem. If you're doing shit in front of your young kids, effectively encouraging them to consume while they're still at a very manipulatable stage of life, that's a problem. Going on a weekend bender with your friends, and your kids will never know until later in their lives, that's totally fine.

Shitty friends are really getting pummeled here. They probably deserve it, though. No complaints.

There's a difference between taking what you can get and searching for what you deserve. I grew up in a rural town that certainly could not sustain my life goals, nor my career potential nor my earnings requirements -- tldr; I moved. It's really up to the individual to stand up for themselves and seek out locations that offer better opportunities for themselves. I can't tell you that you need to leave your home town (you'd probably think I'm an asshole for saying such and won't listen nor oblige), but I can say that if you have a passion and talent, and your locale cannot seem to sustain it, then maybe you should look outside the walled garden for new opportunities.

Honestly, you'd be surprised. If you aren't finding satisfaction from work, then treat your work as work - ie, pays the bills. Dump your extra time into your passions and share the output with others (ex. this may be music you produce and drop on spotify, or consumer engineering prototyping as a side gig, or even starting a podcast with your friends). You may find yourself surprised by initial response and even more surprised by the end result when you put more effort into it.

Fun exercise. I'll take a stab

1. Finish a trade skill apprenticeship or a college degree - these are the new High School diploma
2. Don't have kids until you've found a permanent and reliable partner - life is hard and you will need reliable backup - they are expensive no matter your income, but often worth it
3. Don't use drugs irresponsibly, and get it out of your system before you have kids - taking trips to expand your mind is fine, but don't let your kids see you doing it at a young age, that's a talk for when they are much older (and it certainly isn't worth the criminal record risk once kids are in your life)
4. Don't make friends with losers who drag you down. (still no edits, choose your friends wisely)
5. Live below your means, invest the difference and never take from it until retirement (in the US, you will greatly benefit from having a piggy bank growing across the several decades of your working life)
6. Also be looking for the next job because your boss doesn't care about you and the only way to get ahead today is by switching companies. (no change, because it's true more often than not. If you find yourself strongly disagreeing with this, then you probably have a unicorn job and already want to keep it, which is a solid choice if it already checks all the above boxes for you)

I tend to think the underlying issue at work is a lack of patience.
Kids see their parents are well off, but they were not around or mentally cognoscente of the anguishing grind that occurred long in the past that got them to that place.

Some examples of the resulting behavior:

They buy expensive things they don't actually need and wonder why they can't make ends meet (ie no cost/benefit analysis was done).

They think credit cards are a buffer for 'the hard times', instead of insisting on only spending aged money.

They tend to spend their free time fucking around on video games (mostly girls) or tiktok/instagram (mostly girls) instead of improving their skills, improving their homes, improving their health, improving their communities.

They complain about expensive housing from suburban developers, but refuse to buy cheap land outside of town and build it themselves.

Yea, that's probably enough. Now get the fuck off my lawn!
