Qt programs on Windows are not statically linked, i have a bunch of them (including some commercial) and none link to Qt statically. Also Qt is licensed under LGPL, not GPL.

Qt used to be licensed under GPL but changed that to LGPL for version 4. Incidentally this was around when Qt switched its focus from QtWidgets to QtQuick.
That would be the autopilot disconnect button or, in this case, the trim switch, the pressing of which is the correct immediate response to this occurrence, followed by the disabling of the system using switches on the center pedestal. While it's certainly hazardous for Boeing to knowingly expose pilots to this occurrence, I'm also conflicted by the fact that they failed to respond properly. The procedure is similar on Boeing, Airbus, Embraer and Bombardier aircraft. Standardized, in a way.
That is so true, thanks for the useful tips! Right now I'm in a long distance relationship with one pretty girl I met online via webcam dating site. I found reviews about best dating sites on https://hookupmasters.com/adult-dating-sites/snapmilfs-revie... and decided to give it a try. I really like this girl, we try to communicate every day and I hope I'll visit her soon.
I'm not a fan of email, and not only because of security / privacy. Yes, it's ubiquitous and convenient; and great for quick simple messages.

But it's not (in a biz / life context) a project management tool. So aside from "where do you want to go for lunch?" the appropriateness of email breaks down pretty quick. Unfortunately, the habit and convenience not so much so.

Ideally, we're nudging towards a tipping point where email gets replaced by more appropriate (planning and proj management) tools - even at the personal level.

The basics of maven might be sound (though it could make it easier to work with local dependencies) and npm et al have basically copied it. Where maven dropped the ball is the myriad of maven plugin magic, maven's implicit lifecyle, and a pom.xml's Turing pits, etc. I've developed Java apps since almost the beginning, and am as much of a markup geek as could be, but still hate maven with a passion, and often times do not understand what tf it wants from me. I just don't have the patience with wading through crap that 2003ish Java nerds thought would be a good idea. And increasingly, as Java libs get EOLd, this will be a major problem for monolithic Java apps with tens of submodules. I don't think you can expect younger devs to keep maintaining daddy-o's web framework crap and cleanup the mess left by Java heads.

However, I don't want to sound too negative. I can see a perspective for the JVM (Graal/Truffle) as a polyglot runtime where most of the ancient Java stuff is hidden from you, and you're using JavaScript or other non-JVM-only language as a migration strategy to get rid of Java alltogether in the distant future.
Thank you! I don't plan to :)
The way the "it's like reference counting" mental model goes wrong is that things don't live arbitrarily wrong. Reference counting is used to extend the life of things, Rust will not do that.

But yes, it's malloc and free.
The RFCs for the SMTP protocol call what is read by the server.

It's absolutely not a small cost. It cost the last startup I worked for around two weeks of development time, plus in many cases it prevents us (or adds massive restrictions) on collecting contact information from leads.

It has certainly affected the bottom line of companies like Facebook and Google, but they can afford to take the hit, not all startups can.

I'm not really disagree that companies "should" do it. But I'd argue one of the many reasons we have a shortage of big tech in the EU is excessive regulation restricting our ability to scale.
>Still, even if google does nothing illegal here and acts in good faith, do you think it’s OK to de-prioritize relevant search results based on these technicalities?

I do. That's actually the job of a search engine. If it wasn't choosing ranking factors, then it would just be a directory search.

Search engines are far more useful and relevant because they give more context to their results.

>when I search stuff in a desktop browser, I don’t give a damn about mobile versions

Desktop SERPs are actually different than mobile SERPs. They're crawled and indexed independently. A bad mobile site won't affect desktop results.

The large majority of enterprises I work with use both, depending on the use case.
Netflix and Spotify’s cost structure are different. Streaming content is cheap. Rendering a high end video game can get pricey because you need GPU time. There’s a lot of other considerations too. Like, a lot of people will pause a stream and let it sit for a few hours. That’s fine. What if people want to leave a game running for a few hours? The computational burden is still high.
Rust does have both of those things, though Emscripten has fallen out of favor. There's a native LLVM target these days.

Interesting quote:

"One day in December 1893, she [his wife] confused his chloral [sleeping potion] and the magnesia bottles, giving him a magnesia-sized dose of chloral. Within hours he was dead, though not before observing: 'My poor darling, you have killed your John.'"

A potentiometer (or something fancier) directly attached to the stabilizer would do it. I'm not sure if they do have one or not. They rate of movement on the stab trim is different depending on the source of the trim change so it's possible they have a PWM controller with some feedback.
The wealthy are able to wait out recessions without having to panic sell their equities and in the end they become even richer because inevitably the bull market that comes after the crash will make them come out on the top. All the while collecting dividends. Working class people who don't own equities don't gain anything from bull markets such as the one that's been going on for last 10 years.
How do you reconcile this with the knowledge they’ve been fine $x billion every year for the past 3 years (at least?)?

At what point does Big Corp run out of things to abuse?

If the fines just become a cost of doing business the finance and legal teams can probably get creative and invent new ways of mashing up old abuses over time.

I think the underlying theme here, then, is that the fines are necessary but not sufficient.
Maybe putting the point in different words will resonate better:

There are already numerous examples of authority stepping in to “save people from themselves.”
Also there is a kind of redundancy in the wings say by making the internal structure much stronger than generally needed. You can have a fracture in one part without the wings falling off.
Basically Google told publishers not to use any other advertising platform if they want Adsense.

I don't understand this sentiment of being jealous of subsidies (city vs town, UK vs EU). Those communities are not billion dollar companies like Amazon that don't treat their workers with respect and then use their market power to eliminate competition. The subsidies are spent on things that help the people living there, they are not spent on dividend payments or higher compensation for executives (something you apparently do not consider as unjust). They get subsidies because they need them, they didn't steal them.

The AF 447 crash is one of the reasons MCAS was created. It's the exact scenario MCAS was designed to prevent: High altitude, high-speed, nose-up stall. This was more likely than the NG and dinosaur generations of 737 due to the engine relocation forward and up (causing a pitch-up moment due to thrust).

AF 447 should never have happened. The copilot crashed the plane, and the pilot and pilot on break had no indication or feedback that he was holding the stick back (crashing the plane by causing a stall). There was no feedback, and the controls deferred to his inputs when the pilot was trying the opposite command (which would have saved the flight). On top of this, the stall warning buzzer was turning off when they were so deep into the stall that the airspeed dropped below a certain threshold, and every time the nose was pitched down and airspeed increased, the buzzer came on again.

Airbus has a controls feedback, stall buzzer parameters, and training problem. 447 should never have gone down.

Argh, this is an annoying, seemingly politically motivated report.

The relationship between common cannabinoids and psychosis is already quite well understood.

At large enough doses, THC is psychotic and CBD is antipsychotic (likely CBG too), so much so that CBD is used to treat positive schizotypal symptoms.

E.g. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/51146763_Cannabis_w... and multiple studies

I hate seeing science abused for political reasons, and this study is ripe for that.

Why doesn't the study talk about the reason those high THC strains are so popular in the first place? That to me is the real tragedy. Ultra high THC strains are the "moonshine with too much head" of cannabis prohibition.

sounds reasonable to me. this way, you get a disincetive to break antitrust rules for google, while not opening up a fight for shares of the money by their competitors afterwards. EUR 1.5b (~$1.7b) is a nice sum to fight over, after all.

edit: of course, how big the disincentive is is up for debate. :P

Groovy had Netbeans and Eclipse support, which was dropped when it started fading away.

We move in different worlds, no InteliJ installations around here.

I remember when Groovy was popular, with every JUG in Germany having weekly talks and Sun talking how the next JEE revision would support Groovy for writing beans.

Popularity doesn't write software.
I don’t think there have been any reported cases where US pilots dealt with similiar MCAS issues. In fact, I’ve only seen three likely MCAS repeated nose down situations: the Lion air flight prior to the crash, the Lion crash, and the Ethiopian crash.

There was only one report I’ve seen in the NASA database related to the MAX going nose down. However, it doesn’t even appear that event was related to MCAS, as MCAS supposedly is only enabled in manual mode, and that situation happened when the plane was in autopilot. Further, the plane only dove once, not repeatedly as in Lion and Ethiopian.

Not sure if OP meant it seriously or sarcastically, but the pro-campus housing argument runs:

* being collocated with other students provides an academic safety net for the underprepared (it's easier to get your neighbor to explain physics at 10p than a person on the internet who's in your online class/ at your training center)

* it provides peer pressure for the undermotivated... its harder to say "this workload is unreasonable, I'm not going to do it" when you see your roommate and all your neighbors slogging through it

* proximity forces social interaction, which builds social skills in those who wouldn't have sought them out

* it's great fun. Easy to achieve critical mass for parties or other recreational activities. These events in turn build friendships an a valuable network after college.

I am not sure that's the case. I read that when you look at the top billionaire list through times (80s, 90s, 2000s, now), there is a lot of turnover. Over long economic cycles, the fate of the companies that made people rich can evolve in both directions.

I think this holds better for high school. That's were we (myself, at least) got into the "test-zone".

Looking back it feels like it was deceitful to emphasise tests.

However, the main point from my side is this: I happened to have a good math lecturer at university (i.e., in higher education) that launched my research orientated subsequent years. I don't know if the problem is "higher education" or maybe just mentorship. I think it's a mixed bag for different people.

Simple and Powerful Tips for Testing Go Apps
Kudos! And nice to see you're using GitLab as well.

Not to get off topic but my theory is, something like this is one of the reason why Automattic's / WordPress' recent Gutenberg efforts were misguided.

That is, it's not only about the content (of the individual node sites / blogs) but (in a networked / graph world) also the importance of the connections between the nodes, as well as the participation of third-parties (i.e., those leaving comments).

Long to short, commenting and connecting could result in an (informal social) network (of sorts). With WP powering ~30% of the web, laying the ground work for such a graph could have been revolutionary. Content __and__ connections.

Instead, they went with Gutenberg (and imho missed a massive opportunity to move away from the dated silo-based content model).

p.s. If Commento can (easily) work with the current copy of static site generators, what would be worth mentioning somewhere in your marketing / feature / benefits copy.

Also, since Disqus is a pseudo social network, how would Commento work if the same instance were used across multiple sites / blogs? In such a situation, could Commento be used as a proxy-network among the sites that share a given instance?
It sees like "signaling" is just an arbitrary label attached to any exception to a simplistic market model of higher education. We know the effect is occurring, by definition.

Kaplan can't figure out why anybody in their right mind would pay me to work for them. (I can't figure it out either). So it must be "signaling."

A better description would just be to admit that we don't understand the market value of higher education, and there are effects that contradict a simplistic market model, either because the model is false or we aren't feeding good information into it.
There is a simple "win/win" solution: oppose commercial development as much as you oppose residential development.

It's worse than this. MCAS is designed to only look at one of the two AoA sensors. If this happens to be faulty, it doesn't know, because it's not comparing the sensor to the other one. Instead of a system which can notice and account for disagreeing sensors and fail gracefully, we have a system which is a designed single point of failure and fails... lethally.
Another kudos to the project, adtac!

A few days ago, I self-hosted Commento to slowly replace Disqus on my sites. It was pretty painless to get the release binaries working on a little $5 Digital Ocean droplet, and get SMTP + Google OAuth configured.

To keep my page loads sane when I used Disqus, I had to delay the Disqus scripts from loading until the user hit a "Load Comments" button. It's nice that Commento comes with that sort of functionality right out of the gate, along with the ability to pass in a CSS file to override the styling.

I suppose it makes sense: the Leveraged Loan market has been going gangbusters for a while now.

If the choice was between a startup and an experienced junk-rated company - I guess for those risk averse investors in this low-yield environment - the latter would be a wiser investment. One can achieve a much faster profit if the firm borrows for share buybacks, dividend recaps, etc.

But in theory, this is good for startups. While lower-rates are crowded out, there are much more willing buyers (other companies) for the startups - more supply, limited demand, higher price: higher valuation.
