no, a toaster is actually pretty simple lol. the issue is that production at scale for millions of customers, for practically anything at all, is not simple. all of the things you point to are true, but they are true of many other goods and

honestly, twitter becoming a micro-transaction paypal (lol with musk no less) for right-wing nutjobs and assholes is the best path to profitability i’ve seen since they originally went public.

nonetheless, most major advances require the invention of a new measuring device _before_ the ideas become real, this has largely been based on economic development. You can pretend the world is filled with tiny creatures all day long, but

Let me guess, you’re about under 30 and/or without kids, right? You’re just burnt out. It happens. You’ll be able to recognize it when you go through it a couple times lol It’s not a big deal but you need to get sleep and exercise and

Every single Boeing story here is filled with comments from Seattle tech people thinking they know something special about Seattle aerospace, but they don’t, and they’re completely unaware of this. Mostly it’s people repeating their parents

R is literally designed to do statistics and has first class support and language feature support for many specialized tasks in statistics and closely related fields. Python is literally designed to be easy to program with in general. Well,

My friend. You cannot make people like R. We all know about and study data.table, so it’s not neglected, we just don’t use that implementation. Mainly because R sucks for anything that isn’t statistics.

I hate this doc style that has become so popular lately. They get so wrapped up in selling you their story that they forget to tell you basic shit. Like what it is. Or how to install it. The PMs literally simplified things so much they simp

These are just jokes with reviewers having some fun after doing 20 other reviews. The review process isn't really needed for a paper this bad, but they have to go through the motions, and so people have fun with it. It’s not a big deal

The book couldn’t have been that good if it never got across to you that an airplane hitting production in 1997 was necessarily designed YEARS BEFORE 1997 (and hence the merger). Boeings problems were long in work before the MD merger. Man

Fortunately, one normally doesn’t take a 737 to the corner store, drop the kids at school, or go out for lunch. The only thing normalizing by trip tells us is people take lots of car trips.

I mean, the vast majority of software engineers in the world are not in software engineering companies. If we are purposefully limiting ourselves to Bay Tech companies, then sure, I guess 1,000 software engineers is big. But the companies i

Yeah but, in your example. this is a bookkeeping issue that, while frustrating and time consuming and costly, is just that. It’s not like a gas line in Manhattan blew up because someone in Toledo hit C-v in Excel. The scientists swapped aro

it’s easy to forget how many bits needs to be pushed down a graphics pipeline, per pixel, per frame. in fact forget the pipeline, just pushing the bits down the wire fast enough is a non-trivial task.
