We're talking about train station displays, not arbitrary displays. Nobody has ever done word processing on a split-flap display so obviously I'm talking about a restricted domain. They don't need to display arbitrary information and the range of information they need to display rarely changes since that typically involves construction. The noise, an unintentional consequence of the mechanism, provides utility to train travelers and is therefore a feature.

In a busy train station the duration of the split-flap change provides an auditory clue to what's going on. If you hear one or two rows update then nothing out of the ordinary is happening. If you hear several rows update that might be a good indication that your train is now on the board, or it could signal mass delays. For many years I went through 30th Street Station in Philadelphia with a split-flap board in the middle and I loved that board. When I'm at airports with LCD boards, I always miss it. LCD boards are trash, you don't notice them changing unless you're staring at them, almost always have text too small to read unless you're standing directly in front of it, and are completely soulless.

I learned to type on a Selectric years before my family bought our first computer. I haven't touched one since.
First job out of school my coworker was talking about how nice dotnet Stream API was. I had a Stream. Streams have Position. A GZipStream is a Stream. A GZipStream does not have position. Countless hours of Java style "OOP" indoctrination flashed before my eyes and I realized that even something as big as Dotnet could do such a thing. It made me feel like a kid that just realized their parents aren't infallible.
One important piece of data to correlate with that: how many times previously had engineers issued similar warnings for launches that then proceeded fine?

Warning fatigue is a thing and reasonable to wonder whether that happened at all here.
> Both Firefox and Chromium have buried everything in hamburger obfuscation land as well.

By default, sure. With Firefox it's trivial to permanently enable a traditional menu bar. Though that's not, I suppose, trivially-discoverable.
Same here, it was lagging out my browser and I just updated it the other day too.
I meant the implementation of these side-features as objects sitting in the repo, with appropriate client commands for creating and editing them, etc.

Git already has notes, and signed commits/signed tags, which are all those same kind of "objects that just happen to be there." So they don't need to copy Fossil's architecture; they can just copy the way that said object types interact as dependents of commits (while letting them get blown away when commits themselves do.)
The three largest OTT providers (Sling, YouTube TV and DirectTV Now) all raised their prices by $5 recently. This seems similar to how airlines all manage to raise their fares at the same time without explicit coordination (one airline does it, and the others quickly match). I don't think it has anything to do with the merger.
Really? I didn't know that,in Italian it a similar word translates into "famous". I wonder how many times I've used it incorrectly...
The people I know who bike to work probably operate on different calculus than just viewing it as a commute choice. On days where I drive in or WFH, I still end up on my bike for X hours/day - so bike commuting is basically doubling up commuting and exercise for me, meaning
D-do you not think patent law is in the political realm?
> I mean you no harm, I have positive intentions towards you

But what is the point of smile as "intention indicator" if literally everyone around are smiling to each other? Do you want to say that in the US seller that trying to sell defective goods wouldn't smile?
Ok, I get what you are saying now, but not how you could interpret this statement that way:

> 'we’re beginning to think previously unthinkable thoughts like “what if the hypothesis the last 20 years of research was based on (beta amyloid plaques)is just totally wrong”.'
This seems to assume that the conjoined entity is exactly equivalent in terms of efficiency and market power to the previous two separate entities- That's a pretty radical assumption and it seems you'd have to give some evidence to explain why this would be the case.
Bah this standard answer is just wrong: nobody will force you to use X11 (for example) if you only want to use Linux..
But it's not overfamiliar because the expectations are different.

The way Russians and others justify their discomfort with "How are you" is by complaining that an honest response isn't requested or expected, and giving one is awkward.

That is exactly the same situation with "как дела". Though you would only use it with close friends, it is intended as a throwaway comment, not expecting an honest response.
thanks! I was even going to post myself (SQLAlchemy). However our deepest areas of need are the most boring and soul crushing - documentation and bug triaging. Ideally someone else with full push / release access other than me. We get lots of great patches and pull requests but I'm the only one moving it all through. I'm probably not easy to work with (but I'm open to improvement!)

>The Core m3 has a configurable TDP under 4W

No. This is best to say a safety measure: going over 4w over 5 seconds? turning on deep throtlinng.

Real engineering datasheets you get as a client tell very clearly that TDP of Y line chips is 17w.

Intel chips at such wattages are just a lot of dark silicon.

Your analysis is wrong.
The ones that undeterred maintains software they haven't built themselves.
For instance the maintainers of Mithril.js (pygy, tivac, isiahmeadows) is/has been doing great work for a long time, with nothing in return. There are many like them out there on other projects, I'm sure, who doesn't get the thanks that they deserve.
Wow, that's an amazing resource - thank you!
There are a lot of people who have moved to be closer to fish. I'm thinking about experiences I've had in the northwest, and Canada, but there are hundreds more places. Fishing is definitely a lifestyle.

I bet you it's Bixby getting revenge.
Yeah, very true. I did wonder about that a bit, and also how dire the previous warnings were, if any. "It's going to blow up" sounds like something that a good engineer shouldn't be saying very often about successful flights.
I think the author that captures fishing best is Hemingway. If you’ve never fished, or never quite got why fishing might be enjoyable, I’d highly recommend ‘Islands In The Stream” by Hemingway, or his collection of short stories “Hemingway on fishing”.

He does an amazing job of making the reader “feel” what it feels like to fish. Fishing is all about how it makes you feel (IMO). It’s less about the technical aspects of rods and equipment and strategy (as it might seem to a non fisherman, since fishermen tak about this stuff incessantly) more about a state of mind that no other activity can emulate.
well AT&T is crappy, but this article is poorly sourced. The CEO has said exactly that before, but the court filing is about what the government could prove, not about what will happen.

Even dealing with a simple “How are you?” felt complicated. People in Russia didn’t engage in this kind of social script, and to her it seemed unnecessary. Did they really want to know how she was? No.

This reminds me of my younger self. I would pause and reply with an unvarnished and detailed analysis of my current status. Is it just me, or do other people think that some cultures shifted a bit on the Aspergers spectrum from other cultures? I certainly think that's the case for some subcultures.

Tangentially related, I'd like to share what I have found to be a very effective and easy language learning tool: find an app of a television network from a country that speaks the language you're targeting. It's especially helpful when the app provides subtitles in the language (i.e. for the deaf). The best example I've come across for this is SVT Barnkanalen if you want to learn Swedish. There are also good apps for Norwegian and Danish, and for German there is Kika/Kikaninchen, ZDF and WDR. My child can speak really good Swedish and German from this technique. As a parent I decided that they would only consume non-English media, since we live in an English speaking country. I'm not militant about it, so there are occasionally things in English. I've heard of some parents saying their children would object to this, so it's important to start once your child becomes interested in media and you're ready to let them consume it. Also, it just takes being firm about it and also knowing that you're not harming them. Finally, I do speak Swedish and German, but only German somewhat fluently (which is helpful that I can navigate to help find the resources and correct grammar when I notice it) but my child already has a bigger vocabulary in Swedish and German than I do, and often knows more idiomatic ways to express something.

Edit: You'll also want to use a VPN to access the app from the country its from.
This story is very thin on details, but with the abysmal quality level of most Samsung software it is 100% believable.
Well I'm a native born American and I always answer it honestly. There is always something up, either at work or with my family or friends. It doesn't hurt to spend 10 words mentioning it.
Unfortunately, it isn't that simple.

I have noticed on my commutes that there are times that I simply can't arrive at work. If I'm commuting at an unpopular time, it takes 15 minutes. If I commute at a popular time, it takes 20 minutes. This makes me either 5 minutes early or 5 minutes late, depending on the time I expect to arrive.

The reason the trains take a different amount of time is because when the trains are crowded, it takes a long time for people to get on and off, so the train has to sit in the station longer. This delays the train behind, and so on. A new signal system or better tracks isn't going to fix this problem. It's the human factor of "I want to arrive exactly at 9am, 9:01am isn't acceptable" that's slowing everyone down.
Samsung's software makes their otherwise good phones markedly terrible. My Galaxy S5 got so slow at one point that I was planning on getting a new phone and thought "what the hell, I'll try to root this one and if I brick it then nothing of value was lost." It's a good thing I did successfully root it because I removed all the Samsung garbage and it continues to run exceptionally well! Sure, disk space probably played a role, but I noticed that their keyboard had a large part to do with the slowness. After replacing it with AnySoftKeyboard, it's run as smooth as butter.

EDIT: Another pro-tip I have for anyone with an Android phone is to ditch Google for DuckDuckGo, not only for privacy but because it simply outperforms Google's UI responsiveness by lightyears.
The problem is that there is a conflation between misogyny and genuine inquiry about social justice and the methods employed to achieve it.

I was so disappointed to see how many people didn't even read Damore's article before admonishing it as misogynist.

Damore never denied the existence of misogyny nor did he deny that it was systemic! If anything, his essay identified that Google was created by men and the operational part of the business was still poisoned by predominantly male ideas. It amounted to saying, "hey just setting the bar lower is not working." People took it to mean that he thought women did a worse job than men, so things had to be "simplified" for them. I took it to mean that he thought it was the wrong approach to the problem and that there was a better way. No, that's not what he meant. Ok, that's not what he meant, but what if it's a good point - what if it is the wrong approach? Yet, bringing that up would mean admitting you're a misogynist and so no productive discussion could be had.

Even more disappointing was how any genuine discussion to ask why he was wrong was met with the same talking points: he's a misogynist, he's wrong (why?), I'm not going to google for you (googling, mind you, would just bring you back to the same talking points). It's the most intellectually lazy way to address something that is so important! I just can't come to terms with how someone can simultaneously claim the importance of equality and then try to shut down any approach toward trying to have a better understanding of equality. Toward better ideas about it.

It turns out that, maybe, boys go to Jupiter to get more stupider and girls endeavor to use their stronger synthesis of equally strong math skills and superior social skills to make the world a better place. [0] And yet had I never read Damore's paper, I may have never come across this article. Maybe men have just made some fields too boring and women want a better challenge? A more meaningful one.

It seemed like no one wanted to admit that Damore was bringing new ideas that, even if they were scientifically inaccurate, may have been asking good, new, pondering questions. And even if Damore's ideas were hateful (were they really though?), they led me to a conclusion about equality that no one here was willing to even talk about! A bunch of equality posers who wear the equality shirt but don't know the lyrics of equality.

So even if Damore is wrong (I'm not saying he's right, just that no one offered very compelling arguments that he was wrong), why not appropriate his ideas into something that is right? What's so scary about that?

My final take away was that someone had attacked a core tenet of the fundamentalist religion of Google and the fundamentalist Google zealots were out to defend their honor. Damore may have been a virus that the Google organism finally eradicated, but don't forget that viruses have played an evolutionary role in making us who we are.

The post hoc ergo propter hoc going on in this comment and its responses are wild.

The O-ring failed because it was a bad O-ring, and no one in positions that matters appreciated it was a bad O-ring. Politicizing it into a witch hunt to make congress look bad doesn't do anyone favors. It just feeds existing rage.
You're conflating Linux and GNU/Linux: if you just use Linux, you could create a non-UNIX like system.
I wouldn't be surprised if I misunderstood, but how is that normalized for inflation? Is the currency in January 2000 going to change in value?

This is by far the best post in this thread. It would be interesting to see a deeper analysis following the general assumption here.

For the original claim (two posts up), you have an assertion. Please don't forget to try and falsify your own claims every now and then. Confirmation bias can be tough to shake.

It's a choice that was dictated by politics for the Shuttle, but it's also a choice that can be made for other reasons, like a smaller composite segment using a cheaper tool (Omega and the Boeing 787 fuselage tube).

I think it'd be cool if they open sourced it, but w/ federation built in. So self-hosted public repo's, would call back to ms github, and show up in searches/etc. You can star/comment/etc on github.com even if it's a federated/self-hosted github.

That way the social aspect is still there, regardless of if the repo is hosted ON github.com or a remote copy.
Maybe there’s no secret sauce of any value and it’s just pointless github is closed source, like a form of DRM just being used against us cause we’re silly and let it be so even as we aspire to see open source flourish...
