The point Norvig makes is that these patterns have emerged to mitigate shortcomings/lack of expressiveness in languages like e.g. C++ and Java. Expressive, dynamic languages lack these limitations and thus there simply is no need for m

I agree. The creators of Angular came from the Java world, and it shows.

Scalability, safety and ease of refactoring are usually the exact problems you should NOT focus on in a startup. Development speed and easy prototyping are much more important and is better achieved by dynamic, multi-paradigm languages like

Are we doing semantics now? Java is also compiled into bytecode, executed by the JVM. Do you consider Java an interpreted language also?

Elixir is compiled, not interpreted.

I think you will find Elixir itself very similar to Clojure. They are both functional, dynamic languages with immutable data structures. They both use protocols/behaviors to achieve polymorphism in similar ways (e.g. functions working

Not a favorite language of mine, but I think Kotlin comes close to your description.

The fact that Clojure runs on JVM turns me off. I find that Elixir is very similar to Coljure, with a runtime that better supports immutability and concurrency.

Somehow it's comforting to see how laughably bad China is at propaganda.

This happened to me when I had general anesthesia with propofol a few days ago. I am a Norwegian native speaker, but when I woke up on the operating table I spoke English to the nurses for 2-3 minutes. They pointed out to me several times t

Correct. Going fully under would be general anesthesia, as opposed to deep sedation, which the paper describes. Propofol can be used for both purposes.

Ethicists know what they're doing. Stealing books obviously can't be such a big deal.

This is incorrect. The MCAS doesn't even get triggered when autopilot is on. And surely when a system malfunctions, the issue is not entirely pilot operation.

Actually the opposite is the case. The aircrafts should have been grounded world-wide Sunday based on the available information and flight path, to err on the side of caution. The U.S./FAA now look like idiots and are trying to save fa

It happens when thrust is added abruptly, in e.g. a go-around.

If this Reddit comment is true it's pretty damning. https://www.reddit.com/r/flying/comments/b08h03/737_max_mega... Claims intermittent fluctuations in AoA can activate the MCAS. So no need for the

Yes, the data has been available for days. It's obviously a convenient excuse for the late reaction.

Interesting Reddit comment below. If true, this means the AoA probe does not need to fail for the MCAS to trigger, but be caused by transient bursts of high AoA. If this is true -- a big if of course -- and Boeing knew about it as early as

The Lion Air pilots were not even aware of the existence of the MCAS system, because Boeing at the time did not include any information about it in its manuals. The behavior would be similar to runaway stabilizers, though, for which B737 pi

That's not really the problem with the B737 MAX though. It's not inherently unstable like e.g. a fighter. The issue is that they had to fit the engines in front of the wings, and this will create a significant pitch-up if thrust i
