The clacking sound happens whenever the stabilizer trim is in operation, which is frequently, and has been in 737s for decades.

The pilots would be very familiar with the sound and what it represents. The trim wheel also spins when the trim is running, a large and obvious indication (I posted a link to a photo of it).
That is not a copyright violation. For work X that includes the same text as copyrighted work Y to be a violation of Y's copyright, the author of X must have copied from Y. If X's work was independently created without copying (directly or indirectly) from Y, it isn't a copyright violation.

Normally, a long run of exact matching text in X along with access to Y is sufficient to easily proof beyond a reasonable doubt such copying from Y, which is good enough to prove any kind of copyright violation, whether criminal or civil.

Chapernowne's number and other normal numbers [1] are among the rare cases where similarity plus access would not be sufficient to prove copying.

Now, if you combined a normal number with some kind of instructions to find and extract, say, the part that exactly matches the first Harry Potter novel, then you would probably have a copyright violation, but it would be the instructions that infringed, not the normal number itself.

BTW, those instructions would take up about as much space as the Harry Potter novel they tell you how to find. The offset to a given long meaningful string S in a normal number is essentially a random number about the same length as S. Sometimes people like to imagine using normal number offsets as a form of data compression, albeit not a practical one, but the offsets are big enough to spoil that.

[1] A "normal" number in base b is a number whose base b expansion contains every sequence of k base b digits with density 1/b^k.
But the file doesn't need to exist for this problem to occur? All of git, svn, hg have had command injection attacks where a file/repo name became a command option, but none of those cases required that such a file exist.
Robust engineering, longevity, support, and resale markets do more for the environment than making components user-replaceable.

But if the parts were also user replaceable it would be better for the environment.

I'd like to provide you with some more background because you are conflating this research with a different type of study and incorrectly interpreting its impact.

For background, I have inherited retinal disease in my family, am the founder of a gene therapy company that is working on genetic blindness, and have met John Flannery a few times.

This is not a simple 1) knockout gene in mouse, 2) put same gene back in study, like has been done many times before.

The model system here, the rd1 mouse, is not a "knockout mouse" per se. It is a strain of visually impaired lab mouse that was identified in the 1920s before knockout mouse technology was available. These mice have mutations in the PDE6B gene (due to a virus insertion) and the Gpr179 gene (which was identified much later).

Rd1 mice have severe early onset blindness caused by the death of cells that allow normal eyes to perceive light - photoreceptors. In these mice, the rod photoreceptors die first, then the cone photoreceptors follow, and this all happens pretty quickly.

In this study, researchers are introducing a different gene (green cone opsin) into second-order cells that do not normally perceive light (retinal ganglion cells or bipolar cells). This approach gives retinal ganglion cells/bipolar cells the new ability to perceive light. Importantly, these cells survive in patients that are blind because of photoreceptor death, so this approach can be generalized.

Scientists have been trying this for a while and there have been a number of limitations due to the performance of the introduced genes (opsins). There are clinical trials planned and ongoing in optogenetics, but those include things like light filters/amplifiers, and also often some form of implant.

It is not yet clear the quality / resolution of vision that people could regain. A very good outcome with the technology described would be providing monochrome vision of useful resolution to patients who currently cannot perceive light at all.

There are likely many subtleties I haven't considered or don't know about. Nevertheless, this is significant progress with an approach that is in theory applicable to very advanced cases of over 270 genetic diseases that cause blindness.
>But hey talk is cheap and you seem to know a lot - so how about you link an open source project you've published ;)

I wrote tech docs explaining the jungle of IT systems that we were relying on at a hospital I worked at, and sometimes that included diving into old code. These were usually much longer than READMEs.

Having a README wouldn't have saved this code from needing to be refactored. Nor would it have really changed my opinion of the code. It hasn't been a reliable signal.

The hard part about documentation is keeping it up-to-date and accurate and not filling it with extraneous details and going off on tangents. A lot of the READMEs are written for quick bootstrapping and that isn't going to reflect much on your code quality. I care more about good documentation and that's harder to write than a README and a much better signal.

I don't have time to work on open source but it's clear my experience has been vastly different than yours and I doubt either one of us are going to come up with a peer reviewed reason for either side.

Turn this around and say "this repo has a README! surely it's really good and so is the code" and it makes no sense to give that much credit for something that really isn't impactful beyond the first few days of using something.

I agree with other commenters here. Its too late for Sketch. Sketch has promised to go Browser by the year end. Figma was already there 2 years back.

Figma is eating their lunch. It does what Sketch does & much much more - in the browser.

I moved from Sketch to Adobe XD to Figma. Not going back.
That's definitely soda-lime. (Judging both by the pattern and the logo.) The reason for that pattern according to the source I linked above is that that is the shape of the air jets used for cooling the glass during tempering. Windshield glass shows the same patterns for the same reasons.
This is the first time I had heard of this rigid lattice problem and I thought it sounded very interesting; if anyone else is interested, here's a link to some details: http://datagenetics.com/blog/november12014/index.html
You hit on it with the last point. The best program is one you will stick to. Mine is 20 minutes of gym time every morning at whatever intensity I can muster, and 20 mins of walk during my commute. Every day. If I’m hungover or feeling down, I dual down the workout. But I do it every day so it’s part of my lifestyle and sustainable.

This applies to diets too. The best one is the one you can stick to.

Lengthening the landings gear did nothing to change the engine placement. It was done to allow for type commonality.

Incorrect. Please see my response to gus_massa above.
The article is quite long. Do you have a succinct list of specific recommendations for operating systems?

Do you have a succinct list of problems with arbitrary path names for non-shell programs? The two you've mentioned in this thread are (1) passing filenames with leading hyphens as options to other programs via exec(), and (2) printing filenames with terminal control characters.
Nothing periodic about this and could have used more distinct colors for this simple table.
> Personally I’m not a fan of shell environment customizations like this because they are often fragile and may vary between systems.

True. I gave up the practice entirely many years ago for a slightly different reason -- I need to use many different systems on a regular basis, and don't want to get used to using something custom that won't exist on random system X without customizing it, too.

Often, I prefer predictability and stability over convenience.
No. This is the sign of our times. And I might follow you, I might join your club if you're an activist, but I will not read your news site and pay for it if I want news. Activist opinions are free today.

That's exactly it for me... I can use Photoshop and Illustrator, but there were just times I wanted to do a vector and bitmap work combined and the ease of use in Fireworks really made that feel right to me. Maybe it felt like.. a shortcut - if I have to admit it!

Unfortunately, the last Mac laptop I had died (it was quite old), so I only have a Windows laptop at the moment. I haven't made the switch to Sketch yet as a result.

Sketch seems heavily used for UI/UX designs/mockups, but do you find it as good for just individual image construction/building tasks? Or is it better for the overall layout, flow, mockup and design workflow?

I'm finding it hard to explain what it was about Fireworks that felt so right to me - there were times I could get an interesting image built that was both vector and bitmap, very quickly. Sometimes, I think it was the accessibility of the tools offered, it just had the right combination for what I spent most of my time doing (graphics for web/digital, that could move in or out of the print world if needed since it could be vector, sometimes whole layouts/designs, other times just detail work or piecemeal work).
Aaah, atlasobscura, where every time I visit I get: "We value your privacy[1]" with one button saying "accept!".

When I first read Bill Gates' quote (1995), "We always overestimate the change that will occur in the next two years and underestimate the change that will occur in the next ten", I somehow knew that he was onto something, but I couldn't picture back then what the world would look like today; not for lack of trying, though.
>You wouldn't call Nintendo a monopolist because they dictate the rules of the Switch, would you?

It's not monopolistic, but it's another kind of problem. Locked down ecosystems and companies that actively work to stop any kind of unauthorized access to their locked down systems are stifling innovation and creativity to a degree in exchange for a somewhat false sense of security and the larger motive of control and continuous profit off their products.

Whether this is good or bad sort of depends on what you value more.

It also does push back a certain type of customer, whether companies want these customers or not is a different story but, personally I would never buy an apple product because of the way their ecosystem is. As for the switch, I was pretty unexcited about it until I seen the videos of a working linux install on it, my excitement lessened when I read Nintendo intended to release hardware and software updates to fix the exploits that allowed that.

But this is just me, though I can't be the only one that feels this way, and again there's a good chance neither Apple nor Nintendo would want my business anyway.

I would hate that behavior, so if it's brought into Linux at the driver level (which I think is an inappropriate place for it -- the shell is the right place), it should be optional.
That requires significant trade-offs in durability, weight, and design.

Not to mention you don’t want the typical user (forget the HN audience) to replace the components themselves.

Most professional users are on corporate enterprise device plans and you don’t want employees or the IT department replacing components either. It’s far better and cheaper to get the employee back up and running with a new machine while the one in need of repair gets shipped off under enterprise warranty.
I would like to do something like this with ESP8266 chips in a distributed solar-powered website. It you snag free WiFi you lose the power-hungry router, but only put it off on the local Starbucks-other-shop-with-free-WiFi.

Strawman. Nobody claimed the ATX standard enabled innovation. It enabled the reduction of e-waste as OP indicated. Think of this the next time you trash your innovative phone or laptop because the non-user replaceable battery/ram/ssd/display/whatever failed.
>All we've gotten from the desktop side in the last 20 years is more elaborate giant plastic enclosures, LED lights inside the computer, and...?

Improved efficiency and the demise of bulky storage devices has created a proliferation of small-form-factor designs. We have two proper standards in widespread use (mini-ITX and mini-STX) and an array of proprietary designs from Intel, Zotac and others. It's now possible to get a fast gaming machine the size of a Mac Mini, or a monstrously powerful workstation that'll fit in a shoulder bag.

RPS is one of the few sites I read daily for these sort of articles.

It's not even known if e + pi is irrational.

It is known that at least one of e + pi and e pi is irrational, though. That's because e and pi are both transcendental, and so the polynomial (x-pi)(x-e) = x^2 - (e+pi)x + e pi cannot have all rational coefficients. If it did, e and pi would be roots of a polynomial with rational coefficients, and therefore not transcendental.
<Boeing added larger, more powerful engines, but that required it to reposition them to maintain ground clearance. As a result, the 737 can pitch up under certain circumstances.>

This has to be THE MOST Stupidest decision i have ever read about.. either extend the landing gear or start from scratch.

Aeroplanes should be naturally neutral Longitudinally and also have longitudinal static

> You're speaking as though quora is the only source of information on this

I claimed that the Quora thread probably had more information than a comment complaining about the quality of the thread.

I take everything personally. Your words are showing up in front of people. If the things you're saying are wrong it creates a negative externality for the world around you.
No, in fact I would classify AI as a special case, because there is a high premium on experience, and even more on theoretical knowledge - rare as it is. It is a new field.

In many other fields, PhDs are too expensive and specialized relative to other candidates.

This is also relatively speaking. PhDs will certainly find some sort of job, but given how much income they forgo during their studies, the starting position is often relatively underpaid.
What is your conception of what skills make someone:

* A good product manager

* A good team lead

* A good career manager

And why do you think open source development fame would correlate well with those skills?
>I wonder if there's a way to lower the barrier to entry for coding in the same way. I mean, when you think about it, we're still using text editors to build software. Seems odd.

Is it really odd, though? UI design is inherently a visual activity - it makes sense to me to have a graphical tool like Sketch to use.

Whilst I sometimes use class hierarchy or control flow graphs to help me visualise a codebase, I feel that the medium of text is more efficient to write in (if you've ever seen one of those block-based coding tools often used in education, you'll know how painful it is to make something non-trivial by dragging and dropping blocks).

And it's not like we haven't seen innovation in the developer tooling space - nobody is using notepad to write serious code. JetBrains in particular have made a whole suite of tools which actually understand the code you're writing and suggest improvements, allow you to easily perform refactorings etc - it's far, far more than just a text editor. Today, I won't use a programming language without a JetBrains IDE/plugin.
The intercept started on laser focus on privacy and state surveillance and turned into full blown sj outlet later on. And that is crowded space lately. So it is hard to get good ROI.
It's surely just in its bootstrapped growth stage.

If it wasn't for its annotation system, I'd put it in the realm of rather straightforward side projects. There are really good "readability mode" transformer libraries out there. And you can imagine buying a subscription to each of the major publications to bypass their paywall.

Paywall bypassing is something I would've expected from archiving services too but I noticed this is perhaps false. For example, http://archive.is/ycfsk archived the paywall.
For everyone's sake, don't test your theory on any toddlers.

Why draw the line at age 3

I believe because the original poster was positing that self-awareness is the dividing line between person and non-person, and was claiming that this happens at age 3. Of course, the real world isn't that simple. Not only do newborns show some simple self-awareness (See Rochat's 'Five Stages of Self-Awareness'), but some animals also show various levels of self-awareness (Gallop's Mirror Test, and others) and I'm not sure most folks are prepared to give animals personhood.

Japan always had English signs since I remember visiting it. Even small towns have English street names and billboards. All subway and JR stations, busses and taxis have English information. Also, all post offices have at least one person that can speak English. It’s surprising given the fact that China (more so than Korea) have serious lack of English signs. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, just unfriendly for tourists and foreign visitors.
I love Kanye West. I think you need brazen, arrogant fearless artists that think and say preposterous things in order to move the thinking of a society for the better or for the worse. He has a dozen songs that I simply love that are older but still on my playlists, and I love that he immerses himself in creativity.

Sure, he can be a colossal ass sometimes, but I still think he's an important part of our societal ecosystem. We need people like him in our pop culture just like we need Stephen Hawking, Maya Angelou, Muhammed Ali, etc.

What makes this any better than Transmission?
Is that true, since USA signed up to the Berne Convention (18XX) copyright in USA has been an unregistered right (as was already common across the World).

If DMCA only applies to registered works that's interesting to me -- seems it is, eg https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=7f07e1c0-5264..., in fact it appears as in other areas of USA law you have to buy your right (from the government in form of a registration in this case) which seems contrary to Berne, I'm suprised it doesn't put USA in breech of their duties as it effectively reverses the "automatic" aspect of copyright for ordinary citizens.
