> Advantages of man over "--help":

You can have the best both worlds if the manpages are built automatically from the "--help" output (e.g., using help2man). Then you can have "-h" give a brief rundown and "--help" give the full docs.

> FWIW I think that texinfo is (mostly) even better than man, as it considerably improves on the navigation

I am curious about that. Do you really like texinfo navigation? I find it completely unusable, to the point of prefering to download and print a pdf from the web instead of opening (gasp!) the dreaded "info" program.

How and when to consider migration from BizTalk to Serverless
Throttling conditions to be considered in Messaging platform – Service Bus
I like it, and have considered I should move off Trello. Although my main reasons are to get away before Atlassian ruins it and to find something my wife will use - don't think my wife will find this more usable.

But the problem for me really is you haven't worked out how to monetize, and if lots of other people like it the way I do you're going to have to find a way to do that otherwise everyone moves all their todos over there and then suddenly - you're broke. I worry sometimes.
And how does that contradict my claim? There is an upper limit to what the human body can survive, and going into a wall with 160kmph (100mph) and claim we can survive is a dishonest statement at best. If the car has a 4m long deformation zone the force is around 50g for 0.1 second. That is unrealistic, and 1m is probably more realistic, producing 200g for 0.023s. Neither is clearly survivable.

I'm not disputing that we can make very safe vehicles, just look at F1 drivers walking away from 300kmph crashes, but they shed so much energy to tires, tire barriers, gravel and all the other stuff that slow them down.
Ps: You already have multidisciplinary skills, you just are currently earning a living with the technical skill you now have based on skills you used while learned how to program and getting your degrees etc.
> If you don’t mind me asking, how’d you end up in the medical device field?

I was recruited from a B2B company by an old friend/boss. I was skeptical because I had only ever heard bad things about working for medical companies. I was very impressed with the leadership, product, and direction of the company. So I took the job.

> Do you feel like the projects you work on contribute to the advancement of human health?

I don't feel like I'm making a direct impact, no. However, I can clearly see that the work I do is a single cog in a machine that actually makes a real-world difference for medical professionals. I talked to a family friend who is a nurse. He was complaining that software was horrible for medical professionals, then he went in about this new product they started using and how it's made a world of a difference. Turns out it was our product and I just didn't know he used it and he didn't realize I had switched jobs to that company. He went on and on about how it makes things better (easier to diagnose, easier to see patient history, etc etc)

> And do you feel that you’re adequately compensated?

I got a significant raise that beat out other job offers at the time for another B2B company. I have what I feel is a competitive salary (a respectable amount higher than the average in my area) and the benefits are quite amazing (401k, untracked PTO with management who actually does a good job encouraging vacation, 100% paid health insurance, etc)
It is my understanding that a dark yellow yolk is from the hen grazing on insects and thus getting insect protein instead of pure grain. But I am not a poultry expert.

I know a lot more about cattle and hogs. Some of their numbers seemed odd to me. The dairy seems about right — for a standard 305 day lactation 8,000 lbs would be a decent cow, and 10,000 very good. So 35,000 lbs for 4-ish is pretty good and indicates a good feeding plan. The beef and hog finish weights, though, just seem strange. I suspect those are really bad guesses and not actual weights.

And what makes you think that the FAA is not looking into those?

One reason for the electronics ban was evacuation, people starring at laptops are not that quick to get out of a burning plane. Considering that there always cases of people evacuating planes with their handluggage, that seems to have been some reason to it. That is was lifted was fine, it took a while but in the end it was lifted.

Also, every flight incident is thorouighly investigated. there is a reason why investigators are even putting to gather crashed planes in a year-long puzzle. And the decline in flight incidents is proof that this approach is working. The aerospace industry is also one of the most prolific players regarding crew management (as in workload distribution between pilots and increasing situational awareness). Again something entities like the FAA are pushing for.

Finally, the statement that RC planes and model rocket are an edge case that can never happen is, without further details, just a wild statement.

Move fast and break things might work in consumer electronics and social media apps, in industries like aerospace, automotive, oil and gas, nuclear power it can, and did, get people killed.

That is good enough to convince me. Their frequency ranges overlap and the MRI is always emitting pulses with variable frequency. Although there wouldn't be much energy available at the range of tens or hundreds of meters, the sharp pulses could create high peak voltages, cause a breakdown and fry something small. It still could be a made-up story, but it's plausible, at least for devices reasonably close to the machine.
I wonder if that's in their interest or not
Going by the leading reply in that thread;

> A coworker used to work for FAA. He said he was sent out to find the source of a high energy source of EMI that was messing with Ohare Airport radar or radio systems. But it was so unpredictable that they had to sit around and wait for another round. They finally got a burst and got a direction. And a rough triangulation. When they arrived at one of the hospitals they had to work with facilities to ask if any new electrical services had been turned up - in fact they had. A big one. A brand new MRI that took a shit load of power. Working with the mri company they found an access panel cover had been left open and literally blasting high energy EMI directly at the airport.

I'd have to say... maybe?
solving that issue (providing human readable click tracking links for potentially millions of emails) would be at best very complicated.

People's relationship with death is wrong. It is mostly responsible for our terrible relationship with religion and rationality (believing in life after death and all the BS that come packaged with it). It is mostly responsible for our terrible approach to healthcare (caring for lifespan instead of healthspan) and aged care (holding on as long as possible instead of being prepared to die when you are so old as to be a burden to everyone).

This makes me suspect Amazon's HQ2 is almost certainly going to be Washington D.C. Furthermore, gives me impression the reason it took so long to commit to a date to announce HQ2 is because they were waiting on whether or not this type of contact might be elicited. Having a massive government contract is a prime reason for having a large physical presence near by.

1. I wouldn't say we are skeptical of Rust, I'm sure it could be made to work well and we would love to see such a Rust kernel! I do wonder whether it would be harder to implement highly-concurrent data structures in Rust though, such as the directory cache.

2. GC performance would be basically unaffected by paging, since kernels don't page their own heaps out to disk and thus a kernel heap access would never have to wait for a disk IO. Or maybe you had something else in mind?

You can create lists in Facebook and classify people into close friends, acquaintances, and restricted classes. You can view the feed from those lists if you want. It's more cumbersome than Google+ but you can do something similar on Facebook. I even have a list of all friends to actually see each and every update from all of them if I have the time and not the fraction of them that Facebook usually serves me.

A Simple UI Hack to Improve Onboarding UX [OCD]
Yeah, I can't get Planet X out of my mind. It sounds better anyway, with a little more mystery.
Note: For many, despite the state's obligations, public defenders are more theoretical than real. Many public defender's offices are overbooked to two, three, or sometimes ten or more times the state's own recommendations, and have too little time to read the basic content of a case, let alone mount a defense.

I'd urge everyone, before getting too deep into the next public works craze; be it safe injection sites, two-million dollar park washrooms, subsidized parades or festivals, or the installation of overpriced (but cute) streetcars where buses would be more efficient; consider trying to get your local public defenders office up to at least your state's own minimum recommended standards, and maybe remove application fees (it is altogether quite bizarre that one must pay to apply to use a service intended for people who are unable to pay for a defense, and leads to some incredibly heartbreaking stories).

Or alternatively, you could see about your local legal aid society.
It seems like they might be both.
But hey, at least enemies of the state can deliver targetted ads to the the Secretary of Defence, right in their email!

Personally I struggle everytime in discussions covering a broad, general subject and there specific counter examples popping up all around you without any deep understanding of that particular example. In that regard, the Hudson river.

SO, the Hudson area is not as heavily regulated as it should be following standard procedure. There is however some sort of regulation to it and it is, I assume, monitored. Everything else would just be plain suicide. One can safely assume that the FAA came up with that perticular piece of regulation after putting some thought into it. Pretty much the same approach they are taking with drones.

I am not a software engineer, therefor I am not commenting on software posts. Honest questions are always fine and welcome, but argueing against the FAA without any deeper knowledge of how air travel works is getting us nowhere.

FInally, the plane that landed on the Hudson had an issue with birds, didn't it? Only that you cannto do anything against birds, dornes are a different thing.
I know that it is extremely difficult, but it really helps if you can handle losing a job. In my experiences with bad managers, not feeling vulnerable allowed me to push back and in all but one case I didn't get fired. In the one case, I was paid a substantial amount to leave quietly and immediately. My co-workers could see through the charade when I shouted my own farewell lunch at the local pub and denied everything.
At the same time google and apple do everything they can to deemphasize the url in the browser, which doesn’t help less sophisticated users learn to watch and understand what they click on.

The point being that, capturing or killing the associated individuals still alive, to be held responsible, meant transgressing the territory of Afghanistan.

Nonetheless, I'd agree that waging war on Afghanistan, The Country would be just as silly as waging war on Saudi Arabia. It's like Canada waging war on both the United States and Italy, for something The Mafia perpetrated.

Meanwhile, war with Iraq was akin to Canada invading Norway for it's whale blubber, because the Norweigan king sunk a fleet of Danish whaling ships ten years prior, and was now suspected of hoarding a cache of illegal harpoons. Thus triggering a cascade of geopolitical events, whereby Canada stepped in to defend Denmark, thus angering a member of the Gambino family, who subsequently demolished the CN tower, for tampering with Denmark's sovereignty. As if to say that had Norway not attacked Denmark, the CN tower would not have been destroyed by a hijacked train derailment.
How we can turn plastic waste into green energy
Number of project failures and cuts under Larry Page is just amazing. Normally you would expect that founder CEO insist on long term vision and loves to go after big bets. Under Larry Page, X had been cut. Boston Dynamics was lost. Robotics effort was shutdown. And now G+. After all these time no one at Google's highly paid smartest on Earth visionaries were able to experiment, try something new and continue fight for social. This is at the time FB is bleeding heavily, is losing trust and people are willing to try something new. Google is one case where it looks like outside traditional CEO Eric Schmidt did much much better not only in operational excellence but also long term big bets including maps, gmail, YouTube, Android etc. Larry Page has nothing comparable to show for in his 7 years of leadership. This might be one reason: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2018-09-13/larry-pag...

Does anyone remember when TV transmissions were easily interrupted and know what the causes were? I remember on my grandmas TV we'd get a lot of snow when a neighbor was mowing the lawn for instance, he liked to mow right when grandma like to watch Sunday afternoon football.

I was young at the time so never really understood the cause and it stopped happening, possibly as we went from VHF to UHF transmissions. Was the lawn mower causing EM interference or something else, like an electric mower interfering with the powerlines themselves?
And I bet they'll continue to ignore it until people forget about it.

Programming openDog for pitch, roll and yaw
IO calls. Concurrency matters only if your threads are doing IO. Otherwise it's useless to use goroutines.

Lets say an IO call to high latency connection takes 4 seconds. With no concurrency in between that IO call the program just sits and waits for a response. Under concurrency the program can switch to another thread while it's waiting for the IO call to complete.
