If you dig through the pprune thread on the Lion Air crash you'll find some schematics. The stabilizer trim switches cut power, but the circuits and switches are different between the NG and MAX generations. Assuming there was no damage from the near constant adjustment, disconnecting electrical power from the stabilizer trim motors almost certainly would've resulted in an improvement.

Keeping Open Source Open – Open Distro for Elasticsearch

Have you ever been depressed or burnt out? Cause I have suffered from both. I will agree that alcohol and most drugs are likely going to make your problems worse or at the very least, keep you at whatever level of happiness you're currently at. I would say psychedelics and antidepressants fall outside of these categories. Many people take antidepressants for a short period of time and then go off of them. Similarly, psychedelics could potentially be a single trip and you're cured type scenario. The benefit of psychedelics as I understand them (though I have never done them personally) is that they allow you to gain a completely new perspective. With this new experience, you can begin to see the world in a more positive light after the experience is done, instead of having a dark cloud hanging over you at all times. It has more to do with kicking your mind out of a loop, as opposed to escaping reality.
Alternatively, she's clever enough to expect them to take them down, and thus prove her point.
I respectfully disagree. I know your opinions come from your good heart but they are actually wrong. Market is way better at ensuring dignity rather than experts and market eliminated child labour and not labour laws. If at all labour laws such as minimum wage have deeply hurt some of the most vulnerable young people like the black teenagers from poor neighborhoods. Personally even I had difficulty understanding these basic concepts when I lived in India but when I arrived in USA and wondered why this society has achieved so much I found the answers.

I am not a blind follower of market and I understand the need for an effective regulation but it should revolve more around people's negative rights rather than abstract concepts like morality or dignity. I do not think people in DC or Sacramento give two shits about real dignity or morality at all.

I was thinking more of stories about hunters getting unexpectedly eaten by lions or the like. No particular point to my inquiry, just trying to understand your other comments better.
That is worse. It means people on welfare might be willing to vote more and hence peters would vote to steal from paul. Probably an argument that only those who pay certain amount of tax alone should be able to vote.
Go look at any CIE chart. The human eye is far more sensitive than the standard sRGB colorspace. For that matter, it's impossible to represent the full perceptible colorspace with just three colors. And even if you use a wide gamut, 8 bits per channel is not enough to prevent banding. Particularly over the full brightness range the eye can perceive, which is considerable. That's why "HDR" screens are at least 10 bit nowadays. We didn't stop at all.

As for 4k displays - most of those cones are in the center of your FOV, and eye movement is part of human vision (saccades). That's why 4k VR headsets still look pixelated. Also, you don't just sit in front of your screen staring straight ahead like a zombie (at least, I don't). You move your head. You lean in. By your logic, the edges of a screen shouldn't even be in color!

It's like saying a keyboard with more than 10 keys doesn't make sense because we only have 10 fingers.
Reminds me of the stuff Emo teenagers used to post on MySpace. There's nothing groundbreaking here.
I disagree, there have been times a well-placed popup stopped me from accidentally doing something really stupid, other times there wasn't a popup and I ended up doing something stupid.

It doesn't necessarily have to be a pop up popup per say, but extra validation around dangerous actions is user friendly.

And of course there can always be an override for the extra validation in case it potentially screws up some people's workflows, but I'd make a user explicitly set the override, like the 'NoHostAuthenticationForLocalhost' option in ssh for example.
Oh stop it. Asian here. Discrimination happens in individual societies. The united states and Asian countries do not share societies. It is clear from the language and website of the article that it is targeted towards the USA
> With copyright, if you fail to protect it adequately (which I don't think is very well defined by the court system), then the IP in question can pass into the public domain.

This is not true. Not even remotely true. It is routine that a company notices someone using their copyrights after decades and then sues about it. Oracle is suing Google over code that was "unprotected" for a decade before they decided to sue. In Australia (I know, different country, but this is the same), Men at Work were successfully sued 29 years after they released "Land Downunder" because it has a two bar riff with similarity to a song written in 1928 [1].

As a side note, I see this all the time. What is it about this particular topic that people seem to (a) consistently confuse these things but more importantly (b) feel confident enough about ti to repeat the confused viewpoint with certainty to others?

You are probably thinking of trademarks.

Pretty much this. Not Hashicorp, but another vendor I was speaking to initial gave me a $10,000 a month quote that we got knocked down to $500 a month after some negotiating.
Facebook, Google, Apple, Yahoo, Adobe, Intuit, and Microsoft & Amazon's Bay Area offices are all in SV.

I'd really divide it by era. Anything founded before 2005 is in Silicon Valley; after that is in San Francisco. I actually think YCombinator is a big driver of that; they funded younger startup founders (largely Millenials rather than Gen-Xers) who wanted to live in the city.

For context, Elasticsearch merged their proprietary add-ons into the main repos https://www.elastic.co/blog/doubling-down-on-open and MongoDB relicensed to a not-quite-open-source license that compels you to release code for your entire infrastructure if you're running MongoDB as a servie https://www.mongodb.com/licensing/server-side-public-license... . If you make your money on support and not open core, it's difficult for Amazon to do anything to you, e.g., Red Hat is doing just fine despite Amazon Linux being a thing.

(There's also https://aws.amazon.com/corretto/ , a long-term-support version of the JDK, because Oracle is getting more aggressive about Oracle JDK licensing.)
The "back in the day" for silicon you are referring to was pre-80s. You skipped an entire generation of software companies headquartered in South Bay that have gained prominence since then — Google, Facebook, Oracle, eBay, Cisco, Adobe, Nvidia, Netflix and lots more.
Lucene's pretty great. The segments file model even works pretty well with S3.
You obviously dislike the idea in the sense of expending effort to refute it. Surely you can figure out why I would have drawn such an inference from your comments.
No, sorry. Argument from authority doesn’t mean the original article has a cogent point.

There’s no burden on anyone to refute anything from this piece, as the piece itself has not met any basic requirement of presenting facts or evidence in the first place.

It’s merely a matter of fact to point out this deficiency of the article. The premises of the article could still be accurate (though I think that is fleetingly unlikely), but even if so, this article does not justify any of those claims, so nobody could know one way or the other from this article. Again, this is just a matter of observation of the justifications given.

This author would personally find it more convenient if the skillset of data scientists and data platform engineers coexisted in one person who also happened to have the drive to undertake employment spanning all those skill sets, and wouldn’t become unhappy if the employer did not respect specializations. So this author has decided to read tea leaves out of economic principles and superimpose this wish as if it was justified by some first principles analysis.

In fact, this wishful thinking seems exactly in line with the flawed perspective that executives or director level employees will have. They don’t want to have to care about motivation and intellectual curiosity required to keep certain kinds of knowledge workers happy & productive, and spend lots of time trying to justify how their business units embody corporate platitudes about customer-driven passion. It’s quite easy to see why they would fall victim to this sort of naive wishful thinking. It’s quite similar to CTOs getting suckered by turn-key consulting solutions. It’s not even surprising that VPs & C-suite executives would be very wrong about this type of work.
Thanks to LinkedIn it’s shockingly easy to find people like this. I once searched for someone in 5 seconds because they had a uniquely identifying TShirt.
The fax protocol includes a strong "read receipt" type mechanism that the machines can't ignore. "Did you get the last page?" "Yes, no bad lines."

Legally, this is interesting because it doesn't exist in email. You had the machines agree that the complete document was sent and was received. You will certainly find that it other transfer protocols, but not email, where the machines don't talk to each other directly.
I found Caddy to have a lot of user-hostile behavior, and outright dangerous behavior in the way it fetches SSL certificates.

It is a very bad choice for critical sites that can't go down.

AWS's application load balancer with SSL is much more reliable.
F5 has a few hundred person office in San Jose as well as a decent amount in Tel Aviv as well.
Yeah, but this is quite a unique situation. Not only you are probably in a bilingual country like say Canada, but you also don't require difficult or quality translations. For example legal texts, or marketing texts.
I'd rather narrow the problem to "what you really need to achieve".

See this benchmark for some inspiration: https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r17&hw=...
This is because fax is still considered by HIPAA to be a secure method of transferring patient information. Where email is unencrypted and this considered to be insecure.
Except that you're wrong.

> unless you know the starting position of the die, mass, size, air currents, force of throw, on and on. With perfect data, you could predict the outcome.

This is what Einstein believed, but he was wrong (quote about God doesn't play dice). Physics uses the Copenhagen Interpretation, which means that we have probability waves until we measure and the wave collapses. You may have also heard of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle (read: "There is a resolution to what we can measure").

The fact is that you can't know all your conditions. That's why we say things are random. Because there is a probability distribution to all these constraints (even if we had a device that could measure with "infinite" precision. The problem is that the universe itself hides information from us.

There's great sources for true random numbers. White noise (in atmospheric data), particle decays, particle motion (yes, even particle motion), etc.

Tldr: There's a lot of random stuff.

They're not removed though? They're 'deprecated' as in they don't want you to depend on them, but they're still very much there and usable.
There's plenty that are "bring your own device". From a carriers standpoint, switching off the basband is the same as turning it off, so I would rralpy doubt they could figure out the difference, much less do anything about it.
You'll have to do better than an argumentum ab auctoritate (aka argument from authority)

>But even in HarfBuzz and CoreText, there are hard limits on the recursion depth. HarfBuzz sets its limit to 6. Therefore, the above example will only work on strings of length 7 or fewer. HarfBuzz is open source, though, so I simply used a custom build of HarfBuzz which bumps up this limit to 4 billion. This let me recurse to my heart’s content. A limit of 6 is probably a good thing; I don’t think users generally expect their text engines to be running arbitrary computation during layout.

Truly, Zalgo waits just beyond the wall.
The AV1 codec was finalized last summer, I'd wager we will need a couple of years before the encoders are able to show the capacity of AV1, including getting the best out of encoding performance optimizations.

As for the pirate scene, my impression is that outside of 'anime' they are very conservative and follow rigid specifications. And even in the 'anime scene', I'd estimate that ~90% of new releases are still h264 encodes.

For some reason there was never a transition from h264 over to HEVC in the pirate scene, and I don't think this will happen for AV1 either.

In my opinion, while AV1 improves on previous codecs, it's not a big enough technical improvement when taking into consideration the increased encoding time (perhaps further optimizations will help mitigate this).

Instead, I think the big draw is the lack of royalties. But royalties is not a factor for the pirate scene, so for them I believe it boils down to quality/encoding time and hardware support, and here h264 still reigns supreme.
If one is looking to triangulate here's that same tenet in systems theory known as Gall's Law [0].

"A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work. You have to start over, beginning with a working simple system."

Programming in a language other than C++ sometimes feels like putting training wheels on a Ducati and driving 30mph down the freeway. And if you know what you are doing in modern C++, the memory is much easier to deal with. You can do anything and more modern iterations of the language add some nice updates to the syntax sugar. It is rather dense to get your head around it, but once you do it is like writing poetry. I like the idea of just making the hardware safer, is there any downside to that?
For some people, the challenge is having more goals than you can reasonably make room for. Your strategy works, but it doesn't scale infinitely.

Working full-time, excelling at a side business, maintaining a quality relationship with your spouse, and going to the gym regularly? It's too much, and something has to give. So you dedicate more time to certain areas, then rotate which areas you prioritize.

It's far from a winning battle, or truly excelling in any area.

There's a little bit of movement happening in that direction in the npm world with scoped packages. E.g. babel moving all official packages to @babel. Storybook does it too. Doesn't even have to be much of a branding loss. FB could publish @react/react, @react/native, @react/eslint-config, @react/create-app, @react/prop-types, @react/dom... Most of the typing is happening in require/import not npm install, so there's some argument for not going the full java route.
The MAX is pretty easy to identify visually. The engine nacelles have those chevrons like the 787 and the APU has a conical exhaust (look at the back of an older 737 and it's flat like a screwdriver turned sideways).
"..a nice WebUI"

I challenge that assertion!
> Also, I would assume that there are different considerations for primarily dealing with animation as opposed to primarily live action.

Eh, I've noticed similar from the tokusatsu community, and that's live action. The only difference is that some (but not all) toku groups will also provide toaster-friendly encodes in addition to their top-quality encodes, while anime groups rely on DeadFish for that.

The only toku group I can think of that touches HEVC is Pocket Universe, who specializes in muxing other groups' subs with Blu-ray-sourced video. Everyone else is mostly Hi10P.
Yes, I did skip a section, but only because it didn't feel super relevant. Having worked at two of those companies myself, I'm well aware of the phase in the middle (although Cisco and Nvidia are actual silicon companies).

As a fun side note, the only reason Netflix is in Los Gatos is because the founder wanted it in Santa Cruz, where he lived, but was convinced no one would work there because it would be too far, so he picked the city closest to Santa Cruz that people would still consider Silicon Valley.
The Supreme Court refused to overturn the appeal, which means they upheld the decision of the lower courts.

I honestly don't understand how you can take that action and try to turn it around the way you are.
At one point it seems Myrinet was as dominant as Mellanox is now. It was very exciting at the time to get something better than ethernet, and way cheaper than SGI. Huge resistance from the developers who were used to ethernet, which still hasn't gone away.

I don't think it was just the price or marketing (although Mellanox at least had sales people -- never heard from anyone at Myricom even after buying $$ of gear). Mellanox always seemed to be pushing the envelope, which might have been more R&D dollars. Never had problems with IB not working (CX-4 and up) but I guess the gremlins depend on scale.
This looks really nice. I did a three.js CAD tool [1] for a client during this last year and really wanted to use something like this, but ended up building something custom.

The main thing I knew I wanted was a declarative specification of the objects in our scene. I knew it would be a nightmare to fiddle around with manually adding and removing bits of the scenegraph in response to input.

Ended up just doing diffs on the part of the Redux state that mapped to the scene, and automatically discarding and re-running the mesh construction code for the parts of the state that changed.

It actually worked well enough and didn't cause any problems I noticed (in terms of convenience of use and performance), but I wouldn't want to re-write it for each project that could use it.

One thing I do wonder about with this though is whether there's really a benefit to using the tag language to specify three.js objects. For folks already familiar with the three.js library it's going to be a nuisance to use the tag language instead, and it doesn't appear to me to be more concise or convenient in any way. But maybe I just feel that way because I've been writing js to construct three.js objects for years :)

"I don’t deny that sexism exists, but sexism today is not so severe that it stands in the way of a woman achieving a career in science—or any field—if she really wants to."

Citrix Netscaler does use Freebsd, not sure which version off the top off my head.
In my view a functional society is one where people are paid what their owed.

Andy Rubin is owed his cut for android. And the women are owed what he promised them if only they'd sucked a little... well you get the picture.

This is why things like this need to be handled in courtroom rather than the court of public opinion so a jury can decide whether the allegations warrant damages being paid out to the victims.

The idea that you can just step in and deny somebody compensation without a judge present is frankly shocking for me to consider that this is where half of our society thinks we should go.

If we started taking all the wealth from every man who has ever came off as creepy to woman, we'd be nation of men who are paupers and women who are desperately trying to give all the power back so they can find themselves actually attracted to the people they have to mate with.

> think reparse points, alternate streams, transactions, BitLocker integration, and shrinkable volumes, to name a few.

NTFS's USN change journal (which is separate from the transaction journal) is also useful as a robust offline alternative to ReadDirectoryChangesW file monitoring. Toy example: https://gist.github.com/pervognsen/bcc610d6a5ae6cbc3b2b4f7aa....

Anyway, the problem I've always had when using non-standard file system metadata like alternate streams or sparse files is that they interoperate poorly in practice. There's lots of code and programs out there that wants to treat everything like a plain old file and hence won't preserve alternate streams or sparseness. From my recollections this is true even for several of Windows's built-in utilities. Same issue if you want to transfer files over a socket or pipe or a non-NTFS storage medium like a FAT-formatted USB drive or a NetApp filer or a source control system. As a result this kind of thing is only really useful when deployed in a bubble; I believe WSL uses alternate streams for Unix permission bits and other Unix-specific file properties. Even though those WSL guest files live in a directory tree on a normal NTFS volume, they strongly caution you against touching them directly outside of WSL, presumably for the aforementioned reasons.

Aside from features, NTFS has some performance issues compared to other modern file systems, notably with lots of smaller files.
