I think the lack of credit is fraud towards the purchaser.

Since this was a first, the noteriety of it should be good enough for it to be a good investment.. But did the buyer know they were buying the first drop of water at the beginning of the rain season?

I think there would be an expectation on the brand of the producers serving as a reputation and limit on the supply of "real" works. But the engineer doing a project with IKEA would make "realer" works.

The article doesn't really mention that many other companies/services besides Delta. So while while there's not a 100% chance it's a Delta ad, there's a >0% chance it is.
It does look like they built their own app. But yes, Foreflight has had this for a while. yawn
Good riddance?

I never really understood the appeal of privileged ports in today's day and age. Trust should be guaranteed by TLS or similar crypto; which port you're listening on should not matter (given it can be spoofed/rewritten by any device on the network path anyway).

At least now it will make it easier to actually run services on privileged ports without having to run them as root or searching for firewall-based workarounds to redirect to a non-privileged port.
It wasn't abrupt, tzdata 2018c from January already had that change: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHEA-2018:0232

What was abrupt was that this month they decided to delay it even more due to the ENEM (https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exame_Nacional_do_Ensino_M%C3%...), and a few days later went back on that, keeping only the previous delay due to the elections.

What happened with smartphones is that most are configured to automatically track the timezone from the carrier, and some carriers didn't set it up correctly. So when the normal date for DST arrived this Sunday, these phones entered daylight savings time, even though this should happen only two weeks later.

(And of course, there's always the servers with unpatched software from 2016, and the servers with the Oracle JVM which for some reason uses its own copy of the tzdata database...)
Same way future programmers learn the minutiae of assembly - they don't. The bar for entry will get higher and higher.

The complainers are non-users; it's just a meme, like picking on Cobol.

So many computing languages have come and gone over the years; the number that have been created vastly outnumber those that have ever been popular, let alone that are now popular.

Lisp is amazingly vibrant as a family. People are still excited about it and there is development work going on. That's amazing for something with such old roots.

I added two instructions to the virtual machine this morning, and used them in the compiler of a Lisp dialect to eke out a little performance gain. Wo hoo!

The haters can all go stuff it.
Maybe this is weird in modern journals but from before ~1950 or so it was really common.
Not correct. Instances are rate limited based on their type and protocol. Enhanced networking support increases total potential performance, but there are artificial limitations put in place.

If you honk: do you know how many people you are annoying with that? I would guess you can probably hear a honking car in a radius of at least 300 m outdoors and 100m indoors. So in any well populated area there are probably there are probably more than 500 people who hear a car honking. Do you really thing that's worth it, just to tell a single person they did something wrong?
You’re right. It’s a declaration of a conflict of interest, not a statement that the article was sponsored content.
Twitter has also blocked links to a website, 1984SikhGenocode.org, that lets Sikhs connect with their elected representatives in US, Canada, UK and Australia. The website does not contain any content, political or whatsoever else. The website is about raising awareness about politically motivated massacres of Sikhs in India in 1984. The website was blocked at behest of Indian Government that does not want the issue getting any air.

So on one hand, they don’t block violent accounts, but they do block innocuous website. Guess some governments do have pull over them.
That's a good question -- I should not have been so terse/flip. I agree they do find some interesting issues and that's why I liked the paper.

On the practicality side: If I read the paper correctly this is a lint like tool for finding suspected problems (hence e.g. the "litmus tests" -- the tool iterates out the possible states, which is great). It isn't a tool for finding new problems. The compiler testing is interesting (I'm an former compiler guy) but reading Sec 7 didn't lead me to believe it could identify code generation problems in cases of very high optimizations.

Also a lot of recent security issues have been in the implementation of the microarchitecture (not just microcode bugs but functional unit errors such as the recent hyper threading leaks).

Maybe I am being too harsh?
How many of the men are victims of sexual abuse?

So she got an inheritence and what did she do with the money?

She started a charity and operated at a loss.

What does she do next?

She buys horses and a ranch to "connect with animals"

Yes, for real. She bought horsies and ponies.

This is an article on "What Not To Do With Money So You Do Not Become Homeless".

Somehow instead of the great lesson in there about Cashflow and Financial Independence.... we get a peice about sexual abuse and the sad consequences of making awful financial decisions.

I got to tour Delta's OCC (and met the same weather dude with all the screens—nice setup). I didn't know whether their approach was unique among airlines but I did learn that their weather modeling is indeed more accurate than The Weather Company.

"“from tomorrow all your health data will be in Google Docs"

Who is advocating that? Nobody. I didn't even infer that.

What I want is some highly talented and organized people, like those from Google, to take over IT for Healthcare in Canada, and then shift our non-existent IT solutions over to something that works. Because right now it's a non-existent bureaucratic mess.

"Modern society is just big and complex, no matter how hard we wish that weren’t the case"

I didn't say it wasn't.

But that doesn't mean that many governments aren't supremely inefficient in many areas. Canadian Healthcare IT being a big one.

CGI, a Canadian IT company spent $2B making the Obamacare sign up website - something a handful of Google Engineers had to come in and fix. They basically wrote much of it from scratch.

For one, it removed the ability to do % formatting with bytes objects.

When working with a wire protocol like ssh, you need to work with sequences of bytes, not Unicode strings, and porting code that assembled them using % formatting was a huge pain; I tried and failed to port paramiko to python 3.

I’m also a native speaker, and I find this construction recognizable from some literature.

Voting systems are like banks or computer systems: it's not humanly possible to invent one that is safe from fraud, malfeasance, or even human error. Except unlike banks and computer systems, voting systems are by their very nature designed and operated by the very people who would benefit from manipulating them.

Political distrust only goes so far, because winning elections tends to give you more control over the government, which in turn allows you to manipulate elections so that you continue to win them. On the local level, the opposition party often diminishes to the point where not only do they lack the manpower and organization to effectively even contest elections, but the national party effectively abandons the area entirely.
It depends on whether Musk stays within the terms of the settlement, and whether the SEC has the courage to pursue any breaches.

The SEC is not exactly at the forefront of enforcement though, despite its title. The Madoff Ponzi scheme was discovered by Harry Markopolos, who reported it to the SEC, and the SEC sat on it for many years before any action was taken.

If Delta is really serious about customer satisfaction, they’ll hurry up with the retirement of their old MD-80s (and MD-88s).

I’m hardly an aviation buff, but I’ve learned to identify these things by their sound from inside my house, which is 20 miles from the nearest airport (occasional departures fly over at roughly 10,000 feet).

Those old low-bypass JT8D engines make so much damn low-frequency noise. Every time I hear and feel that infrasonic rumble I think “must be an MD80”, and sure enough, if I check Flightradar24 it’s always one of those loud suckers, and always operated by Delta.

I don't think its fair to continue the fiction that introduction to programming 101 at MIT is about pitching to people who have never done programming before any more than it is to pretend that people who get into top medical or law schools haven't had multiple years being coached to get into top medical or law schools.

Humbly, its not a beginner programming book in any reality-connected universe...

> Guess some governments do have pull over them.

Who said governments didn't have pull over them? Their biggest users tend to be government officials (e.g. trump), so of course they are going to allow themselves to be pulled to keep them happy.
Nobody dislikes a good-natured nerd. As someone from Germany maybe to give some local perspective, what people here really don't like is the sort of tech entrepreneur who builds themselves a castle in the middle of the city, considers the local population to be "riff-raff" and doesn't respect the communal nature of a city.

That's the sort of thing that invokes the image of a "tech bro" and this is what people don't want in Berlin. People don't want the local scene replaced with overpriced chain stores and electric scooters and multinationals dictating city development policy.

The CCC has its roots in Germany and we've always had a hacker and nerd friendly culture.

I'm concerned about my kids screen time, but I'm also concerned that there seems to be an "anti-screen-time" cult that is operating on virtually no evidence, yet insists that any form of time with "screens" is bad. Some of the computer games that my kids play are some of the most cognitively complex and creative things they do. For one example, Minecraft, has simply no equivalent "real world" activity that it can be compared to.

The problem with blindly saying all screen time is bad is that it actually prevents us talking about what is good and what is bad about it, and therefore actually impedes progress. As a result, we have almost no guidance to either parents or app developers about what constitutes "good" content, which actually results in more "bad" content and more kids being exposed to "bad" content because parents are just operating in a complete blind spot where they let their kids have small amounts of "screen time" during which they can do anything.

It's like saying "I limit my children's tobacco time to 1 hour per day" - which is ludicrous but that is exactly what being promoted currently as "good practise" for parents to follow.
Sorry. I have made the correction to #1.
Sorry, I have made this correction.
Good point and well put.

These issues were being raised as far back as 2005-6 when debates were raging about whether likes/clicks/views and other "easy to collect" numbers were the right proxies for peoples needs and feelings. We know which camp prevailed.

What's changed is people's reaction and awareness. Hopefully we learn how to inject some love into the machine and dilute the apathy.
What's 'crazy' is that people would think this is crazy. Or even a new idea or an idea that ever went away.

And what does this have to do with Nationalism? Nothing.

Someone suggests something not normative and people yell 'Trump'?

Consider how South Korea, Japan, France, UK, Germany, Poland, Belgium were re-built after the war?

It was mostly centrally planned management by powers, taking a lot of orders from Washington. 'post war' is a great opportunity for central power as most of the value creating enterprises are obvious, and very low hanging fruit: i.e. 'we need schools, and roads, and electricity where all that has been undone'.

Nobody is suggesting totalitarianism, some people just point out that in many cases, a well organized and efficient control system is much better than bureaucratic kludge.

Kind of funny how the NYT publishes the original story to generate outrage, then after successfully doing so to an extent, cherry-picks examples of the outrage in order to generate yet another article that is apparently worth publishing.

Of course some Google employees are upset, there are 85,000 of them. You could have cherry-picked ones who weren't upset as well and written an article the opposite of this if desired. I'm not commenting on the claims themselves but it's just funny how the NYT is able to completely run their own show here.
The recent regression soundness issues last release were indicative of people not using the beta.

I disagree wholeheartedly.

It is perfectly civil to make a lighthearted comment about the least sensitive part of the entire discussion. Frankly, who cares whether someone wears conservative clothes to Burning Man. I don't appreciate people who attempt to police others on how and when to discuss things; I think it lacks social grace.

You chose to respond to me with an unnecessary and totally irrelevant candid view into your professional life and sexual habits. To be completely honest, your comment struck me as bizarre and made me feel uncomfortable. I think that your comment on celibacy, etc, was a far more inappropriate thing to say (on your part) than simply pointing out the humor in Star's wardrobe having made the news more than once.

To address my views on the discussion directly:

I find it difficult to immediately and unquestioningly believe an allegation that doesn't appear to have evidence aside from testimony from a single individual, Star, who plainly admits that she was motivated to speak out due to the rising public profile of the accused. I believe that as a 24-year-old, Star Simpson was old enough to make her own adult decisions and even if what she says was true, it doesn't amount to sexual harassment but rather a rejected offer for a back rub and a consensual neck massage at a music festival. i don't know anything about DeVaul's other exploits, but even if Star's account is totally accurate, at the very worst his invitation was in poor taste considering that she was an interviewee.
There is unfortunately a lot of anti-tech or anti-science bullshit sentiment behind the idea of restricting access to phones or screens. It reminds me a lot of how you would have people in the tech industry peddling fears about GMOs.

That said, they're not necessarily wrong. They're just missing the forest for the trees. The issue isn't social media or videos or even video games. It's advertising. The cold calculating hand of the free market will reach out to anyone and everyone for the sake of profit, which is why we see a ton of ads, shitty malware-ridden games and abuses of the system in order to gain a foothold into using children as weapons in the advertising war. Every click and every watch is more money, no matter who it is.

In a way it's similar to the way cigarettes were advertised as being for cool people, resulting in affecting children because it infects them with that message from an early age. Flintstones ads featuring Winstons Cigarettes being a great example.

So how do we stop it? You either prevent them from using it, full-stop or you actually create a walled garden designed to protect them from the exploitative behaviors of certain youtube content creators and lassiez-faire app stores.
Newer aircraft seem to have higher wing loading. (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wing_loading#Range_of_wing_loa..., especially 767 vs newer aircraft.) Higher wing loading makes for a more stable flight. If your perception is correct, it could be changes in aircraft design rather than actual turbulence.

Personally, I think it may have more to do with pilots more liberally adjusting course to avoid turbulence. High-profile incidents related to turbulence, newer tech, and the padding of flight schedules to game on-time metrics would make it an easier decision for a pilot to avoid turbulence.

Honestly, I think it isn't worth it, as long as we're on X. X11 is not a reasonable protocol, and Xorg is not a reasonable implementation anymore. It's had a good run, but it's time to move on.
They're right in the center of the Cz political scene.

The context is that we have very big gov't with lot of benefits, and (kind of, it's complicated) high taxes.

In such situation left has nowhere else to go (defending status quo is not very popular), so it's full of (often stupid) populists.

"Intellectual" elite is heavily leaning right, to the point of being anti-populist (they are regularly sacrificing votes just to virtue signal).

Pirates seem like a non-bullshit party that tries to stray from both extremes. They had some PR fails (they sometimes seem amateurish), but mostly seem to be really good alternative for people wanting to limit the gov't but not cut it to little pieces.

"generally insurance companies are aware that you can only drive one car at once and adjust premiums appropriately."

The Python 3 transition has taken 10+ years and millions of developer-hours. It is perfectly reasonable to question whether the benefits have been worth the costs, especially when compared to other platforms like JavaScript that have made much greater advancements during that time.
