No, the effect is negligible if it wasn't planes wouldn't be able to fly upside down. It's the pitch of the wing that generates most of the lift. That's why helicopters don't alter the rotor RPM they adjust the pitch of the blades to take a larger bite.

I very much doubt that's the case, at the very least I doubt it's possible for all but the most freakishly talented. There are regular enemies all over the world, even in the tutorial area that can single hit you, even after you've upgraded a lot.

> sorry, what exactly does this?

It's a CMS that works on static sites. Currently it primarily supports GitHub repos for storage, but the plan is to support other alternatives (it already supports pluggable backends, but the GitHub backend is the only one with significant support at this point).

> How does it compare to other CMSes?

- It doesn't require a database - it works on static files.

- It doesn't handle building or serving websites - just editing their content.

- It has a built-in editorial workflow, which allows you to manage publishing and reviewing entries in a sophisticated manner (it uses Git repositories to do this, currently through the GitHub API), where "publishing" means pushing to a specific branch - you're free to build and deploy your website with any tooling you want.

- It supports arbitrary content types and build tools, by allowing you to describe your content in a config file.

- It is itself usable as a simple set of static files - its entire functionality is implemented as a JS application, so there's no server support required to host it beyond serving files. You can also use it as an npm module for more complex workflows (such as adding custom extensions to the CMS).

> After "Find out more" I know now that it does something with Github, but what exactly?

The current primary backend for Netlify CMS is the GitHub API. This means that it allows you to store your files in a GitHub repo, connect Netlify CMS to it, and it will use that repo to store your changes. A build system could then pull that repo to deploy your site. The CMS itself is entirely build and deploy agnostic.
What is the difference between "cliche" and "same, tired," and "tried-and-true"? (That is a rhetorical question, but the reader is encouraged to answer it for themselves as an exercise).

It's not safe to do only logins over HTTPS because if the initial site is served over HTTP, an attacker could rewrite the URL or inject JavaScript to leak your password.

Also, once you're signed in, every request sends a cookie which is also valuable to steal as it's an active session.

Every request needs to be encrypted. We haven't made TLS worse by deploying it everywhere.

Airbnb's data models weren't initially designed to be financially reported on, and by the time we needed better financial reporting, it was too late to change those models. 90% of the work was about rethinking the way to think about all of this, what financial impact should be booked, and how it could be derived from the data. None of the ERP solutions fit our use case, and I think it would have been very difficult to integrate.

We still use a general ledger to book the outputs of our new financial pipeline, but I don't think we have a traditional business model (no traditional inventory management). That's more in the finance and accounting department though, and I can't speak much to that.

I'd disagree discussing your sexual exploits is harassment either, up to a point. It's harassment when it's clearly unwelcome and directed at a specific individual.

So if we sit next to each other and I keep farting even though you don't like it, it's not harassment because it's not directed at you, but if I kept walking over to your area just to fart, that's harassment.

I would have thought the distinction would be obvious considering the overlap between HN readers and the socially awkward.
Every once in a while I have to re-realize how amazing this phenomenon is. The only thing in nature that flies are birds which weigh a few ounces. Nothing human-scale flies. Cars don't fly. Yet, the flying machines we decide to build weigh a million pounds and fly simply by going fast until the air lifts them up. That is some ludicrous black magic.

It's hard for a software project to make progress if the only way to reach users is non-rolling distros.

US seems to be centered around spending your whole life working. 10 days of vacation, are you serious? That is only 2 weeks per year. I can't imagine only 2 weeks of holiday with my 3 kids.

Maybe those gamers would be perfectly happy having a part-time jobs and spending the rest of the time gaming.

Hanlon's razor though. I would presume malice only maybe to Bitmex, but for most other exchanges, I think it's plainly low-quality/bad engineering.
Is an idea like "in science one can prove a theory false, but one cannot prove a theory true" falsifiable? If yes, what kind of experiment could be designed to test it? If no, does that mean it's of no value?
And as I have mentioned elsewhere on here - I have flown inverted a few times, and to do so take a tremendous amount of forward pressure on the control stick to even try and attempt to hold altitude while inverted, in order to counteract the wings natural (slight) positive AoA and the tendency for the wing to move towards it upper surface. In fact, most of the aircraft I have flown would not be able to sustain inverted flight at all. The fact that full aerobatic and military jets do, is because they (as I explained earlier) usually don't have that curved 'fish' shape cross section, but are usually symmetrically shaped on the top and bottom of the wing.

To whit, I've had the fortune to fly an old DH Tiger Moth biplane - on that little baby, when you approach the stalling point, you can actually see the the canvas on top of the bottom wing bulge and contort with pressure differential, and you can hear the sucking sounds as the airflow struggles to 'stick' to the wing. There is a little movement on the bottom surface of the top wing too, but not as pronounced.

I'd be interested to see in this thread, who here has actually studied aeronautical engineering, or flown actual aircraft, and who is relying on YT videos or a pure theoretical approach to come up with these theories?

Also interestingly, I believe most of the textbooks I used at flight school were filled with data from NASA and other US military branches with regards to flight dynamics etc., and here on this thread we see articles from NASA (albeit aimed at K-12 audience rather than trainee pilots) basically disproving their earlier academic research.

For me, this is where the arguments based on the idea that everyone should be free to decide for themselves and take responsibility for their own decisions really falls apart. A market that is unregulated w.r.t adventurism is a market that is unprotected against fraud.

It's not that simple. The resolution is slightly lower (almost unnoticeably so) but in some areas of the game the frame rate is actually a little better than the Switch.

In practice they are practically identical.
I disagree with that conclusion. I'm trying to say Berkley has the resources as determined by a third party, has been lying about compliancy, violating Federal and their own implemented procedures, and during the production of these videos had the resources to do what they said they would. They just did not for whatever reason.

Berkley made a mistake, and their solution to correct it is to just take it down. The Justice Department made it clear in their report that it wasn't an all or nothing outcome and they were willing to work with Berkley on a palatable solution, Berkley just chose the easiest option.

Not only not a problem, but a must in my book and I'm fairly sure I'm not alone. For me it's like a new workflow which I always wanted but never could have without git. A lot of days for me now consist of creating a lot of small commits and then every couple of hours when a single 'thing' is finished, start an interactive rebase and create a storyline which is easy to read, understand and follow. This can be even one commit sometimes if it makes sense. And in repos I manage myself an if the change spans several days it's usually big and I might create a seperate branch and have a merge commit so it's extra clear all commits belong to feature/xxx.
While I agree that Google is likely more trustworthy, I think it is naive to think Google does not sell your information; that's how they make money, right?
If I follow instructions in the "Try it out"[1] link and click on "Connect to github" I end up having to giving r/w access to ALL of my github repositories.

Also, reading the Step by Step guide[2] I'd end up giving r/w access to my public keys as well.

Now, I just wake up and maybe I missed something but documentation should make it clearer that you either have to create a dedicated github account, or how to manage permission in a more granular fashion.

Off-topic:

I notice you've been banned for quite awhile. Some of your comments are pretty good. Some are not-so-great, mostly the outrage/political comments.

It's none of my business, but have you considered emailing hn@ycombinator.com, apologize for whatever got you banned, and promise not to do it again? The mods are more than fair and in my experience that will earn you a second chance.

More than that, though, your account is named HeavenBanned, so presumably you created it after your previous account was banned. It's also an amusing name since you may have been fully aware that new accounts which are created to circumvent bans are quickly banned, so HeavenBanned would quickly become a self-fulfilling name.

Therefore it seems like you're fully aware of your status, but you still comment on HN knowing that almost nobody will see your writing, except the few that have showdead turned on. While your comments are certainly welcome, I am moved by curiosity to ask: What compels you to keep commenting even though you know you're banned? Anything in particular?

The phenomenon is pretty common. There are a lot of banned accounts with dozens of pages of dead comments. Sometimes the comments are meticulously written or otherwise took a lot of effort to write. But the most curious aspect is that the authors know they're banned, yet they continue to write.

I've seen at least a dozen accounts like that over the years, and I've always wondered why. Why waste time writing something no one will see? Is it therapeutic, like writing in a private journal?

Again, it's not unwelcome -- the dead/vouch system works quite well, so it's perfectly fine for someone to write as many autokilled comments as they want. But I love a good mystery, and so I have to ask: what drives you to do it? What drives dozens of people to do it?

(It would be ironic if you had no idea you were banned and this was how you found out.)
