The trim adjustments by MCAS can be disabled by setting the two stabilizer trim cutout switches[1] to cut-out. The recognition that trim is being automatically adjusted outside of their ability to control the aircraft and how to correct it is considered so important to be a "memory item" or something pilots should know how to do without referring to the quick reference handbook.

Obviously thats an option but that option exists no matter the providers layer of abstraction. If you sell colo they can increase your prices. If they sell hardware you have to replace it. Im not arguing against it, just pointing out that there really arent situations where you eliminate that possibility; just reduce the chances of it.

If the answer to the question "I want to create a business funded through patronage online" is "the only place you can sustainably do that is on Patreon" than its a monopoly in online patronage.

A lot of people for decades have tried self-hosted websites with Paypal, Bitcoin, Ko-fi in recent years, etc links. They might even have perks the way Patreon does. But Patreon has mindshare and network effects now and in the same way the only place to get video ad revenue is on Youtube the only place to find recurring sponsors is on Patreon.

Those effects are probably not as strong because people aren't looking for things to sponsor on Patreon, they find projects with Patreons and pledge through that, but the familiarity of Patreon versus unfamiliar alternatives dissuades enough contributors to make most alternatives nonviable or at best extremely risky to try.

It seems the MCAS had a flawed design where it would move the trim further than expected and would also trigger multiple times. Based on my understanding, the MCAS would have been quite safe if it didn't have these flaws (pilots deal with a failed AoA sensor as another case of "runaway trim").

Hey Google, how about supporting choice and competition in the rest of the world?
That's exactly what it was. I had a bit of time after buying the server before I wanted to deploy it in production so I copied the last backup over and just started messing around. Because this database primarily ingests data from outside sources and doesn't drive user experiences, I was able to easily duplicate the data flow to replicate the production environment.

I recognize this would be a much different beast when it comes to a database that supports a hundred thousand users or something. However, Postgresql does have the ability to do hot standby and streaming replication so it's likely not as difficult as one might imagine.

May be I am living in a bubble... it's always hard to tell from inside the bubble. But this is not my impression at all. All of the major tech companies have major Java footprint which is not going anywhere. This is not only the older tech companies (FB, Goog, Amazon etc.). Even newer companies like AirBnb, Uber rely heavily on Java. Startups often start with fancy esoteric languages but eventually do come around to java/c++/python once they need to really scale. I am not sure what exactly gives you the impression that Java is like Cobol.
I've done this a few times. Most are due to reflection limitations with the newodule system.

They can be worked around by adding exceptions to removal of reflection metadata largely. Kinda a PITA but not too hard.

Active libraries have pretty good Java 11 support these days though. It's really improved a lot on the past year or two

Apple is not affected by most of these rulings as they only apply to firms that control the majority of a given market (the goal of these laws is to impact potential monopolists, not smaller actors). Apple is not considered to have majority market share in smartphones because iOS represents only 20% of the market, as opposed to Android which is ubiquitous.

> MCAS is a convenience feature that counteracts the plane's tendency to pitch up more than you want when climbing.

It's still controlling control surfaces.

> Sure it can improve safety, so can lane keeping in a car. Neither are critical to operation. You can fly/drive perfectly safely without them so they need not be super hardened against failure because you can just switch them off.

I'm not quite sure where to begin. Just because the absence of something would make the plane flight worthy doesn't mean the addition of it keeps the plane flight worthy.

Take your lane following example. Sure, they can be turned off, but that didn't help the person whose Tesla ran straight into a jersey barrier because it got confused by it and where the lane was. (https://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/infrastructure/a...)

If a mechanisms can control the vehicle, it is safe critical. It needs to fail safe under all conditions. The requirement to fail safe is part of what makes it a safety critical system.

In the most extreme of examples, adding a lane following module to a car that randomly swerves into jersey barriers once at speed and if the barrier is close enough would be a clear example of a situation where the automatic controls can cause a situation that a human could not possibly react to; hence, the system itself needs to be held to much higher standards.
IMO, I don't want MAX to be resurrected. If the design is flawed, let it be and shut it down. But this ain't gonna happen because how expensive aircrafts are.

Oh well.
It also seems like this was not properly reported to safety agencies at the time, nor was it reported when that plane crashed in a subsequent flight.

Say what you will about Boeing, but this could have been avoided if the airline had better safety practices. Every pilot on that plane should have been trained on the new system. And the malfunction, if reported properly, should have caused that particular plane to be grounded for a mechanical inspection. Instead it flew again and hundreds of people died because they weren’t lucky enough to have one of the pilots who was trained properly.
ThoughtWorks and ThoughtBot are different companies, of which TW is well-known due to Martin Fowler, the many debates about the relevance of TDD, agile practices, etc, and they have offices all over the world. They started work on tools, like CruiseControl, and open sourced this. To me it never felt like they made tools open source first, but rather a need that came to have them stay relevant as other, often times better Open Source-first tools came around. The same happened with GoCD.

ThoughtBot came around later, and feels much like a adhering to a lot of the similar cultural habits.

Note: I worked for TW, currently at Red Hat.
Note 2: Somne of TW's projects under the other pillars are open source first, but aren't related to this topic.

This title is really confused - backpropagation is one implementation of automatic differentiation, and yields a gradient. What you do with that gradient next is up to you - you can just follow it (steepest descent), or try other fancier second order techniques.
I'm skeptical of most bioenergy projects that involve growing things in a field. The best by far I've seen is seen is Brazilian sugarcane to ethanol. Sugarcane is around 8% efficient at converting light into biomass, for comparison corn which the US uses for ethanol is 1-2%. Of course you then have to process those into something else to allow us humans to make use of that energy, so real efficiency is lower.

Compare that to PV solar which is around 18% in a form that humans can use. Of course electricity is more difficult to store than ethanol and hydrogen but there's a big efficiency advantage that has to be made up.

Much better would be to use organic waste. People have to pay to get rid of that stuff so if you can make it your fuel there's money to be made. Hydrothermal gasification or liquification both seem promising for that.
But the normal way of stopping it (the yoke) doesn't necessarily work, and the pilots wouldn't necessarily think to physically stop the wheel with their hands.

Well, no. Pulling on the yoke traditionally moves the elevator. MCAS adjusts the horizontal stabilizer. You can adjust the stabilizer with switches on the yoke or with the trim wheels by your knee. MCAS will pause for five seconds if the pilot hits one of the switches on the yoke (and the Lion Air pilots did this until that stopped working).
Couldn't they use a manure spreader to throw the grass onto a conveyor belt at a steady rate? Manure spreaders come with variable flow rate and beaters to shred the manure. If you threw a bale of hay in there it would tear it up and throw it nicely.

My favorite example is Kippt, who decided that dominating bookmarking was not enough, and that they needed to compete with email. I had a beer with the developers and came away quite worried, because they seemed energetic and capable. Luckily, they took VC funding instead of focusing on the narrower bookmarking space, and soon enough were drafting an "incredible journey" blog post.

Something similar happened to trunk.ly, which had a lot of momentum and then got harmlessly acquihired away by a lavishly funded competitor, AVOS systems, who cratered so hard a few years later that I was able to buy the remains of Delicious, my original VC-funded competitor, from them with my Pinboard profits. Sic transit gloria fundi.

Compare both to historio.us, which has been chugging along for about as long as Pinboard without VC funding and hopefully makes StavrosK some money.
I am a developer (Win32; actually started with Win16 and DOS before that) and consider myself a "power user" of Windows, yet never had the feeling you describe. True, the -nix world has a great CLI shell, and some things are much easier there, but on the other hand, the GUI experience is (or at least used to be...) incomparable. AFAIK tiny single-exe-file no-install portable GUI applications just don't exist in the -nix world. I agree that PowersHell is a mess --- I tend to stay away from it and use CMD instead.

In this particular case, it is very strange that they claim something which appears like it shouldn't be OS-dependent at all (Python is supposed to be portable, and there's no GUI stuff) would require a specific OS. A new Microsoft indeed, but unfortunately not one I'm a fan of...

As someone who participated in the beta, it's not as good as they make it sound. The compression of the video stream is quite bad in any slightly intensive scenario, the latency is certainly noticeable, frame drops every once in a while, and in general it's nowhere near as fluid as a local gaming experience.

I have gigabit fiber and quite a good machine, so I'm certain that's not the issue. Maybe some of these issues could be solved by closer edge servers, but it'll be a while till it reaches the level where you can play FPS', etc.

Certainly we considered it. The problem is that on this prototype system we were operating with a sealed hopper. Thus any gas injected into the hopper would travel through the system and dilute our output gas stream. Also any oxygen in the injected gas would result in combustion rather than gasification.

I found his opening analogy to be broken. In 1941 there were no clips and other things on the TV news because the tech to record and replay television signals hadn't been created. Until the 60's the only way to record TV was "telecine" which was, as the name implies to record the tv image on film. (The term also implied the reverse process of (re)broadcasting the filmed source material of course.)

It wasn't that no one had thought of showing the dumpster fire (to use a quote from a earlier comment!) but simply that the tech wasn't there. A lot of the problems here are of the same nature. The right level of tech is yet to built and hopefully when it is it may also improve the nature of the media that gets bundled (much as telecine was pretty poor looking when compared to the video tape recording that supplanted it later). So trying new tools is good. But I haven't seen that paradigm altering shift yet.
