Perhaps how catastrophic this issue could be while the flight is still in low altitude during one of the busiest phases of operations?

The procedure to set the trim manually was the same, but I assume that in most flights the actual flywheel is never turned by hand (and thus rarely deactivated). I'm sure most pilots use the fly-by-wire systems or autopilot.

The procedure which was different was the automated MCAS system - pilots who have logged significant hours flying the previous model of 737 would be unprepared for this during an extremely busy phase of the flight.

Ultimately, yes, it was the pilots error when they didn't take the proper actions when the problem first occurred. Nevertheless, we must first take into account why the automated system failed to begin with, and why the pilots made the error (lack of training, sleep, preparation).

This isn't binary, and the fact Boeing is issuing a patch for the software systems as a direct result of Lion Air tells me there is more to the story than just "pilot error".
If you fly an airline with MAX 8's in fleet, you can show up at the gate and find out it's a MAX 8 when it wasn't previously scheduled, and it will not be free for you to avoid that flight.
debian user for 20 years here, love it.

debain is the base for so many other projects, it needs to keep going strong.

in the meantime debian in many aspects is a bit "old" now, its infrastructure and the way to do things need evolve. I'm not a developer per se, it is not easy to become one either.

There are so many ways to make packages and it's hard to pick the "best" one for example.

I hope Debian can reform its model to make it even better, there are just so many archaic baggage from the past for new comers.

> Moreover this remark is totally stupid: women are as much likely to formulate a biased opinion than men.

Test, everyone 8s biased by their own experiences, but those biases are very _useful_, especially when coupled with the biases of those who has a rather different background. They allow others to see ideas they wouldn't have thought of leading to true synergy.

That's the point being made: not that another group of researchers would have been better, but that a diverse group would be preferred to a not diverse one.
This is fair to say, but HFT is a very small industry. The number of people getting "rich" off of HFT is less than 100. The rest of us are just comfortably compensated tech workers, same as a Google or FB engineer

Ask HN: Need help to find a HN post
Some months ago i saw a post that was about a guy telling how he fixed an audio issue between his notebook and headphone with both code and handmade electronic circuits. Tried all kinds of keywords on HN search but couldnt find it. I think the site had a dark background theme, and thats all i can remember. If someone saw that thread too and could send the link I would be very grateful, as the approach to fix the problem was very creative. Thanks in advance
>Otherwise it’s tyrannical for a minority to tell the majority what they may and may not do.

Your liberty to blow leaves ends where damage to my hearing and breathing begins. When the minority is imposing direct negative health effects on the majority, it's not tyranny to prevent them from harming everyone else.
I wonder if you're less susceptible to glutinous desires too. If you find a food really tasty but don't know when you'll have it again, then you might be tempted to eat more than you should. But if it's daily meal that just tastes fine, then it's not that tempting to overeat, I suspect.

Unfortunately the RAM battle has already been lost thanks to electron, etc. A laptop with less than 16GB for development just doesn't make any sense.
From what I've skimmed so far this isn't a very good or accurate resource. In particular it doesn't mention RAII in its discussion of C++, doesn't mention Rust at all, neglects the role of stack allocation, glosses over the common use of object pooling in GC languages as a workaround for performance issues, has little on the extra issues introduced by multithreaded code and understates the performance issues of GC.
"I wonder if issuing a canary after being NSL'd would count as disclosing..."

Almost certainly is what I've thought up till now. They get a warrant they're not supposed to disclose. They disclose it indirectly via the warrant canary. The Feds and judges aren't too happy with the "smartass" move. They punish them.

Alternatively, two things might happen:

1. They let them expire the warrant canary since lots of places take them down periodically with no effect that I see. Some paranoid folks might stop using the service but many targets will probably use it. There's also a potential delay between paranoid folks noticing no update and info handed over.

2. They might be ordered to continue updating the warrant canary as if nothing happened to maintain secrecy. If they balk, the Feds would likely argue to the judge it was specifically meant to obstruct justice by defeating "lawful, secrecy orders" or some other wording. Judge might agree. In Lavabit case, the argument judge was going with was that Levison could just not tell his customers they had the keys with no negative impact on his business. So, forcing lies is something with precedent.
Nowhere in my comment am I implying that Atlanta, Boston or Chicago or any other big metro areas are racist homophobic hellholes. I'm trying to lay the argument for why a place with a big immigrant population might be easier for other immigrants to feel as they belong. And the vignette about the Ice Cream shop was meant to show that even in blue, blue California, in liberal San Francisco, in trendy Hayes Valley, you can still be made to feel you're somehow "bad" through no fault of your own.

Edit: I realize now that I didn't specify when I said "outside the bay area" I meant California, as in "rural america is very close geographically to metropolitan america".
Wouldn't even need to be a monorepo. As a first step, ensuring that all packages use the same system, e.g. git, and one authoritative repository (e.g. a debian-maintained gitlab) would be a great start.

Yes it warrants investigating. But it still more probably is a coincidence.
Err lol no. Begging pitches would be private (private link) then rather than publicly promoted and searchable, I think you're getting confused with Facebook or email. Not always, but GoFundMe is actually the opposite of what you suggest, these people don't want to hit their own pocket, immediate family (auntie Jane) or close friends - although they are happy for them to "raise awareness" . GoFundMe has reach beyond your private social network. And no one is going to sue anyone, people want their campaigns shared, I wouldn't be surprisd if GFM have affiliate promotions.

Being able to redefine everything is never a virtue as it introduces non-locality. You can't reason about what a particular piece of code is doing without understanding the full data flow that got you to this point and any re-definitions that might have happened along the way (with one re-definition overwriting the previous one).

For example, look at the following code:

function test(a) {
if (a > 1) {
console.log("bigger");
return;
} else if (a <= 1) {
console.log("smaller");
return;
} else {
console.log("Why is this happening to me?!");
}
}

var a = { x : 1,
valueOf: function() {
this.x -= 1;
return this.x==0?1:2;
}
}

test(a);

Yeah the more I think about it there probably are lots of market makers still because of market specialization. But it’s not like before when a single person could be a market maker or even later when small prop shops could do it.
The cities are quite happy to not add jobs either. The “bluff” will be called.
What steps? You are your own boss, you can set your own rates to whatever you like. I think the challenge for most freelancers is fighting their own mind. Somehow, they feel they have to justify their rates and that someone is going to judge them. If you deliver significant value to a business you are helping, does that not justify it? I think a lot of it has to do with self-confidence and ability to think like a business, not a freelancer. If you constantly put yourself in an "employee" inferior position then you will think like that and behave accordingly. Set yourself free of that mindset and you will be on par with the people you talk to.
The technical aspects are more cross-cutting than your labels. "HFT" is for the most part just a latency threshold being crossed, whereas more functional roles such as market making, various forms of "pure" arbitrage, statistical arbitrage, prop trading, etc. have existed at the older latencies as well as the newer. All participants benefit from having lower-latency access than their competition, which creates a (thus far) neverending arms-race as firms leapfrog each other.
True AI would perhaps know the user well enough to know their intent (even Google already knows the user and perhaps even know they have a likelihood for a person being more interested in musicals or in maths).

It could also actually understand web sites and create meaningful summaries. And all sorts of other things.

As for speed, I don't know - it seems in many applications AI is way faster than traditional approaches. Also things can be parallelized. DeepMind trained for many years (measured in computing time), but it was parallelized so it didn't actually take years to train.
It's entirely possible in the UK, while "court order" is probably the wrong terminology, the core meaning is still there. Ballots are numbered and the number recorded against your name. You would need access to both to work out who voted for whom.

I don't know of any reason why it could be accessed, though since parliament is sovereign "if a judge agrees" is always a safe disclaimer to add since the underlying law can be set.

I don’t think that is true. bid and asks aren’t a true/total reflection of the msrket. There’s not going to be many people with a bid of $5 for Apple, even though any rational being would buy Apple for $5. Human traders can access this hidden liquidity by picking up a phone or messaging someone on the terminal.
>Algorithms skills have little bearing on whether someone can architect maintainable and scalable apps

While I believe that interviews based around testing these skills in isolation are not ideal, I think it is a bit too naive to say that these skills aren't related. Especially scaling by it's nature requires knowing what approach is the best based on the employed algorithms themselves.

Also anecdotally having worked with people focused on the skills you mentioned, it really is a drag having to walk them through even relatively easy pieces of code with some algorithm not offloaded to a library, time and time again, and always having to have some other person work on whatever problem involves more than glueing together some components based on "best practices" etc.
If we’re really talking “at the speed edge”, low hundreds of nanos would be already considered too slow these days :)

It's not a choice. 99% MUST move somewhere or STAY somewhere because of a job. Without a job, most people can't live.
The "brain drain" argument is fair, but you can successfully apply the brain drain argument to anything short of curing diseases or feeding the hungry

I consider HFT to be no worse of a brain drain than, say, Instagram, or any similar virus

Spare us the elitism.

SF has tons of problems, including epic homelessness. Other cities are trying to deal with their unique situations under their unique constraints.
It doesn't have to be super natural either, though. By the nature of it's existence, the universe proves that there can be chains of events spawned that completely undermine our current treatment of causality. A realistic model must include at least one of the following:

1) Events with no cause such as the beginning of the universe or broader multiverse, depending on your beliefs or 2) Infinite regressions of causal chains if you believe that the universe or God (or a god) has always existed or
3) Some combination of the above.

In all of these, somehow there can be uncaused effects, but in 1) and 3) some causal chains can just begin existing, like free will would require.
To be a big fairer I had friends that worked at Azul Systems. One of them said that earlier versions of 0x86 processors didn't support the required atomic operations to implement guaranteed low latency GC.

Also despite the marketing hype the main application for Java was server side. I wouldn't be surprised if GC latency issues weren't a problem in that space.
Yes. Here for you. https://deepworkhours.com/
In a very real sense an average American like me is incomparably wealthier than Mansa Musa or anyone else living in past times if we measure wealth in terms of things we are able to own and buy. Mansa Musa certainly had a lot more power over more people than I do but he couldn’t go across the world in day and didn’t have access to healthcare products like I do. Unfortunately humans tend to compare themselves to those around them and especially to those who are better off so I don’t feel as though I’m incomparably wealthier than Mansa Musa.
I've always hated them. We once stuck tied a fan onto a broom to ridicule the neighour.

But a few years ago I got one as a fire management tool, after seeing Parks workers use them for that purpose along the roadside. They're an awesome way to train a burn, and useful if it starts to get away from you.
The most worrying part of this is that when the system described in TFA crashes and burns and people flee they will not realize that it was the sum of all parts that created the system that they fled and will unwittingly attempt to enact it piece by piece wherever they relocate (see Denver, Portland, Austin, etc. for examples).
I did not say that but I've said this before and it is well worth repeating:

*“People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices.”

- Adam Smith, "The Wealth of Nations"

This is almost a definitive description of capitalism both by its origin and by its very nature.
Paper recycling doesn't work because it needs to be 99%+ pure and most Americans are lazy and put contaminated paper in the stream, so our paper sent to recycling is only 90% clean and thus recyclers cannot accept it.

Aluminum is pretty much the only material that is economically viable to recycle.
“Most jank” is the correct superlative when using the noun as an adjective according to Wiktionary.
Thank you very much. I don't have a logo design yet but I'll figure it out.
Seems like e-voting is used as a way to transition between a democracy to an hidden totalitarianism.

Citizens are lead to believe the voting system still works as usual but in the fact the results are manipulated to keep the same person or group of people in power. Which can probably last for a while. Meanwhile the person/group in power can take control of all parts of the state until it slowly fades into an obvious dictature.

This works because most people don't understand technology well enough to understand that electronic voting is very far from secure.
I have found a similar ethic in Boulder, wonder if it arose separately or came from the valley?
Then you can extract that information from the voter in the same way you can extract a password; with a blunt object and enough force.

So far, the place I've been shouted/told offensive things by have been in the bay area for the most part, but it might also be because I'm "white".

I realize now that when I said "outside of the bay area" I didn't make it clear that I was talking about California in particular. People from outside the US, and even some inside the US too, have this image of California that is a pastiche of cliches, where the Golden Gate bridge is next to Venice Beach and the Central Valley doesn't exist. I've travelled throughout many rural areas in the US and have been treated in a lovely way. I remember a recent trip where my wife and I stopped for a quick snack in a rural bar, where we struck a conversation with the people working there were lovely. At the same time, on the walls there were plenty of "american patriot" paraphernalia in the vein of "we say merry christmas here, and if that offends you fuck you". That makes it harder to feel welcomed.
I'm not looking to recapitulate the debate about whether monkey patching is good or not. It's probably bad most of the time. That doesn't make the possibility of doing it at all, ever, bad. If it helps you, just substitute "mainstream feature" for "virtue".
Superficially they didn't add much. On a deeper level nobody really knows. The future could be all Index funds and bots trading historical patterns and could result in poor investment choices which screw up the real economy. The dotcom boom was a great example that this happens already, nobody is sure if this new world is better or worse.

Not OP, but I've felt that Thinkpads all have terrible (and even sometimes nonexistent) trackpads which force the user to use the nub. I'm wayyy more efficient with a decent (usually Mac, but I've occasionally had good experiences on other laptops too) trackpad than a bad trackpad, nub, or even mouse sometimes (it takes time to move my hand between the mouse and keyboard, which is negligible on a laptop with trackpad).
I'm sorry, I'm having trouble following what you're trying to say here about "bids of $5 for Apple". The bid-ask spread is the difference between the lowest available sell (asking) and the highest available buy (bidding), not the lowest buy and the highest sell.

>Also, by "normative historically," did you mean "representative?" In other words, do you mean a mathematical norm, as in an average? Or an ethical norm, as in a rule?

The other reply answered the rest of the question as I see it, so I will respond to this part. In your language, I was referring to the representative demographics of some social class or occupation or the like, though demographics fitting to historical ethical norms would apply here as well. And all of this is with respect to Western Democracies such as America, of course.

I should also mention here that when we weight these AI scales with the goal of maintaining arithmetic equality amongst demographics, everyone loses. In particular, justice dies for the many when this becomes the case, and it is indefensible to argue otherwise.
I love this. I've been a professional dev for almost a decade now, and over the last couple of years have started migrating toward a blend of hardware and software/firmware development, and I can't get enough of learning to build physical things from scratch. I don't often get to iterate in this way at my job, and rebuild the same thing over and over, so I tend to spend my free time with projects like this that start out shitty, and you get to take the time to comb over the details, making constant prototypes.

I started a deep dive in electronic music and synthesizers in the last couple of months, and have been thoroughly enjoying playing the productions units I own (Korg Monologue, Elektron Digitakt, Roland JV1080), but have even more so enjoyed the sort of free form effort of building my own instrument:

https://imgur.com/a/FZ6GFsI

That started out as a nightmare breadboarded voltage controlled oscillator, to a nicely breadboarded vco, to a rebuild on perf board, and then obviously I needed a perfboard power supply. But, once I wanted a mixer, I needed +/- 12v, not just 5v, so that led to a better iteration of the power supply, etc. It's a rabbit hole, but an immensely educational and fairly inexpensive one. I figure I'm about 3 months and a couple of YouTube tutorials away from my first Kicad developed oshpark printed PCB, and I have a ton of ideas for next steps, and prototypes in flight (CES3340 based VCO, Arduino MIDI control and CV translation, Lowpass/bandmiss filters, so on and so forth).

Back to the subject of the original post, this totally looks like Pennsylvania, and if it is and the engineer who built this is in the job market, and has any interest in working for a smaller, established (20 year) shop that lives in one of the automotive spaces doing a lot of cool custom hardware/software development, I'd happily accept a resume.
