> I'm proposing a way to get the six pieces of complex information from the ATC onto a display which the pilot can read, to avoid the pilot having to remember/write down those six pieces of information in a potentially information-dense situation. I would have this in addition to the existing voice control as a backup. The pilot still does the flying.

Cockpits are pretty busy places.. it would be difficult for a pilot to verify that the information on the display is _still_ consistent with the last audio update from a controller. Or, they may miss the fact that they got a radio call to change their speed, but the display did not get updated and still shows the old requested speed. Or, perhaps a rogue or unintended signal was interpreted by the unit and the data updated with incorrect (and dangerous) values.

As it is, the radio communications can impose extra load, but this is usually the responsibility of the non-flying pilot and it occurs during routine and non-complicated portions of the flight. For a large segment of the flight path, these updates will simply involve changing a setting on the auto pilot console (change of heading or airspeed). Your landing runway is assigned and confirmed by approach control _before_ you actually speak to the tower and usually before you even have the airport in sight. In smaller airports this responsibility _may_ be handled by the same person or by the larger ATC center serving that area, but the information is handed out early and in specific phases to help reduce the load on the flight crew.

The call and response system is highly portable and useful and is typically quite resistant to "human factors" errors, when you start adding automation and new devices to the cockpit that can devolve into emergent behavior you start to see "human factors" errors occur.

On the other hand, my higher end, but certainly not highest Intel Ivy Bridge Xeon E3-1225 V2 (3.2/3.6GHz turbo) plays 1080p without a glitch using Debian Wheezy or Ubuntu Trusty. I'm sure I wouldn't want to play an intense 3D game with it, but for 2D purposes it's great and relatively cheap with all the integration in the chip, the Supermicro X9SAE-O it's on has a real paucity of additional chips, and one of those is for a not strictly needed 2nd gigabit Ethernet port (for a workstation board like it, most useful for running older systems software instead of depending on the southbridge's integrated controller).

There is, sort of, but iBooks makes this difficult to all but the most stout-hearted.

If you visit `~/Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents/iBooks/Books/` on your Mac, you'll find extracted versions of your `.epubs`, if you've downloaded them into your iBooks Library. The problem is, that in order to be valid ePubs they'd need to be archived again (as a .zip renamed to .epub, which is all ePubs are).

Also, iBooks uses DRM on paid(?) books downloaded from the store, making this more complicated even then.

So, yeah. I've plans for a desktop client that might make importing from iBooks possible/easier, but I'm a little afraid to go barking up that tree.

Visualize Randomness in OCaml
Yes, indirectly: At the Planck scale (10-35m), a quantum foam of virtual particles appears and annihilates itself. While these particles are ephemeral, for a moment, they are there, with mass.

Mass affects spacetime, bending it slightly, changing the path of anything travelling through that spacetime. Think gravitational lensing, though on a much smaller scale.

Light travelling long enough, through enough foamy roil, will deflect a little, randomly. The cumulative effect would be to "blur" any images of sufficiently distant objects.

Or so the idea goes....

Private Instagram for Medical Records
“Private Instagram for medical records" this is how Amit, cofounder of Medzap, describes his Medzap. It is a simple application to help users manage their medical records, the user can transform their paper based medical records into electronic form simple by taking a picture of their record, adding doctor's name & relevant keywords and saving the records. The record is then saved on cloud and can be accessed even if the user changes their mobile phone. Our vision is to take the product to rural areas where people usually face the problem of getting their prescriptions spoilt.
We plan to use the data that we collect on the app to help the user remain healthy and take precautions. This data will be used predict mass epidemics and caution the community to take precautionary measure. We also want to build a CRM for hospitals to help them interact with patients directly and improve their services.
In terms of competition there are similar apps but even Google drive and Dropbox are also our competitors. However Medzap has been built around a much focused use case of storing files on cloud. At Medzap the user just maintains their medical records on the cloud.
The app also interacts with the user to check about the user's well being and rate their experience at the respective hospital. The app was launched on Android on 15th November and will soon launch iOS app. You can download the app from Android playstore.

There is some overlap, yes. TCP_CORK is a mode however. It's silly to introduce the complexity of extra state when a single method call (flushHint()) would suffice.

My proposed flushHint() is also quite different to TCP_NODELAY. Let's say you do 100 writes of 1 byte to a socket. If TCP_NODELAY is set, 100 packets would be sent. However if you do 100 writes to the socket, then one flushHint() call, only one packet would be sent.
HN uses javascript for upvotes. Also, HN is not "the web".
Ok, and is there a portable way to set this PUSH bit in the sockets API? the semantics seem a little different as well since the PUSH bit seems to do something on the receiver side as well.

> It's fairly common to dive into 3rd party packages code to see what's occurring and to use 'undocumented' things

It may be common, but it doesn't convince me that it's a good idea. It seems to me that it would be better if the language forces you to design the public API properly, than to resort to using undocumented/private APIs.

I think the author is implicitly describing the paradigm shift from software and hardware abstractions to service abstractions. We used to make computers by soldering electronics together, then by assembling cases and components, then buying premade servers, then renting cloud capacity, and now we're starting to rent everything as services.

The cloud is about going from capex to opex and the "capex" now is the initial work needed to define your own architectures and stacks for every project (before you get to work on the actual project, i.e. the differentiating part). Amazon is eliminating most of this by offering building block services that fit together with little hassle.

So the challenge for open source is how to move on to this era of service abstraction. It's no longer enough to just provide an NPM package or a configure script.

I think Docker is in a good position to bring us there, but it's currently stuck at the stateless container level. Something needs to evolve so that launching a scalable and auto-maintainable database cluster along with a connected web application cluster is as easy with Docker as it is by renting a few Amazon service.

Did not know that at all, I'm not paying attention to Russia at that level, and find it remarkable. Certainly the labeling of some Russians as "Nazis", to a WWII focused at various times "old" guy like me.

I think you'll find it easier to get hired as a manager at Comcast, then use political shenanigans to replace the HR department with a trusted posse of like-minded individuals and following that replace all of management.

Documented anywhere?
Typical memory managers put blocks onto a free list during free() calls in order to reuse them later. I wrote a commercial memory allocator library in the 90's and I always coalesced consecutive blocks in free(), which limits fragmentation and speeds up allocation by avoiding long list searches. But even then many libraries did the easy choice of the free lists.
The map uses today's terrain and coastlines though as far as I can see, which doesn't help understanding eg. lack of roads in former marshes.
Using mechanical weed reduction is roundabout ten times more energy and time intensive. The fields have to be processed several times and if done with heavy machinery the soil will be compacted at a depth of roundabout 3-6 feet leading to drainage problems.

So yes, roundup can be replaced or reduced, but there are no simple solutions.

I'm not sure I fully buy the idea that addiction is primarily a result of social isolation as opposed to chemical properties. But if incorporating socialization into rehabilitation treatment makes it faster or more effective, then I'm all for it! We too often stigmatize drug users and place all the blame squarely on the individual instead of considering the context in which that addiction developed.
I program in R 80% of my day. I have experiences in all the major alternatives but keep returning to R. It has one huge flaw, being slow but otherwise is fantastic to work with and has a vibrant community.

The bigger issue is that while R is liked by statisticians it lacks many of the features for the software development. We run across difficulties with logging, version control of packages, speed, size of docker image, build time etc. But, with these drawbacks I keep coming back because I develop faster and better in R.

Yeah but this is easy to manage and predict. You tell everyone to do X work, where X is somewhere in the bottom quartile of productivity. If someone does less, you tell them to pick it up - it's pretty likely they're slacking off too much as opposed to being unable to perform. But you don't want people to do more, because then you start having different employees. Some would get jealous at others' higher productivity and more free time and you'll have to manage people differently and give different salaries and it will all be MADNESS. It's easiest for management if everyone is the same somewhat inefficient cog in the machine.

This is a whole topic in itself. There has to be some good medium between consistency and best tool for the job.

For example, IBM determined that, despite Windows dominating Desktop/laptop market share (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_syste... ), Macs were cheaper to use ( http://www.businessinsider.com/apple-says-ibm-saves-270-for-... ). Now you could go further into that and ask whether OS X is the right tool for everyone's job, as I'd argue in some cases it isn't. However, I think that it shouldn't be that difficult for a company to be open to letting their employees choose the hardware, software, and other tools to get the job done. If the budget is there, then why not have the discussion, and if it isn't, allow the employee to make the case for an exception.

The same could be said for priorities and tasks. Allow your employees to make the case for what they should be working on, and allow group discussion if appropriate. You may be surprised at what good could come of it.

I feel that was a mistake. I would prefer a nicely formatted web summary. I generally won't click on PDF links as they tend to be hard to read and usually overly wordy.
