8 GB of RAM are fine for basic tasks. However offering a spinning drive (and I include the Fusion drives in that category) is not. For any use case.

The 5400 RPM HDD in the abse 21.5" iMac will be unbearably slow, pretty much unusable from the first day and people not interested in technology won't have any idea why their new, shiny iMac performs that slow.

It's baffling to me that Apple seems to be fine with offering such abysmal performance. Reaching that price point certainly isn't worth compromising the user experience in such a significant way.

I don't like framing it as "Trump-of-the-left". I also hate the "right-wing" vs "left-wing" dichotomy. Because it jambs many dimensions into one. But whatever.

There have been a few shots at electing candidates who promised to address various sorts of "left-wing" concerns. Most recently, in their own ways, Hillary Clinton (feminism) and Bernie Sanders (humanism). And Barach Obama (anti-racism). Back in the day, there were Eugene McCarthy (pacifism) and Jessie Jackson (anti-racism). Even Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter. Although Clinton was a right-wing Democratic con, in my opinion. But in my cynical moments, I suspect the same of Barach Obama.

Anyway, there's really nothing unique about Trump, in this regard.

that's because the native widgets haven't changed much

So why aren't they updated?

If browser makers can't maintain something as simple as a radio button, they will probably not be able to maintain more complex widgets.

Browser engines are already so complex that even a giant like Microsoft gave up on maintining one. And Firefox is spending over $200m in software development per year to keep up.
I’d be highly concerned of the competency of any pilot who complains to NASA.
Have you tried `set allowautofocus false`? It breaks some fancy editors like CodeMirror but you can always re-enable it on certain pages with `seturl`.
Flight augmentation systems work a different way. Those take into consideration all inputs and average it out. Same when two pilots give different instructions.
An anecdote on MacOS Spotlight and learning algorithms: I never started Chrome browser with it, because it was already running and never shut down. Then I (once!) started the chess game with Spotlight. Fast forward half a year, and Firefox had became my preferred browser. Chrome was no longer running always. However, Every Single Time I now try to start Chrome using Spotlight this happens: Type 'C', press enter and Chess starts up. Shut down Chess, carefully type 'Ch' and wait for Chrome to appear on the list.

It is hard to learn predictive input when you cannot know if the predicted end result was actually what the user wanted.

In 2006 I played around with Jackrabbit for an architecture concept (for managing airworthiness of airplanes and kit). That was before the Iphone even existed. I was honestly surprised Adobe is still using it in their AEM product. From what I recall, it manages a document tree, based on a 2004-ish, Drupal-like node graph in typical Java enterprise fashion.

I'm no insider, but my guess is Adobe is struggling for some time now to integrate AEM, Magento, and other purchases into a lineup for creating shopping experiences. We'll see how this works out.
I don’t follow this logic. I’ve written unit files and they can be very easy, but when you start looking at something like postgres on Debian and want to move it to another directory, then suddenly you’ll see all the hacks that have been employed to make it work.

Stuff like running /bin/true for the non-versioned unit, so that it can coerce the activation to take it sequentially when it actually executes the versioned unit.

There’s also the fact that “no boot is exactly the same” which means reproducing a race condition at boot is basically impossible if it’s anything other than the most trivial.

And anyway. The truth here is that you haven’t actually removed the shell script. You’ve just added boilerplate C-code around it.

If your biggest complaint is/was the composability of shell scripts for the common use-case then this is very much a solved problem in the BSDs (where an init script is usually around 5 lines).

EDIT: please come back with some concrete examples of why I'm wrong. because not only would I like to resolve my own issues; it is also the case that you shouldn't be using downvotes as a "I love systemd so I disagree" button.
Definitely possible to get by with English in Ukraine, but - many foreigners have left in the past year or so, due to the conflict in the east. There's nothing to physically worry about in the western part of Ukraine (where Lviv is) but the perception has scared some people away.

MCAS is designed to work only with autopilot disengaged. With autopilot and autothrottle engaged there would be similar logic at play because the general goal would be to not have the automation induce a stall. With everything disabled there is a risk that applying full throttle will result in the airplane pitching up dramatically beyond the ability of the elevator to pitch the airplane back down and potentially inducing a stall. This is an inherent problem with putting big engines under the wing (and is a problem in the 737 Classic[0], NG, and MAX).

You could almost certainly disable just about anything by pulling the appropriate circuit breaker. You don't want to do that because the plane may be left in a state where you can't control it manually and you only have a few thousand feet of altitude to recover.

There are, in fact, two switches to turn off the electronic control of the horizontal stabilizer. The previous Lion Air crew used them after the pilot riding in the jumpseat went back and grabbed his copy of what I'd assume was the flight manual and had an ah-hah moment[1]. The flight 610 crew were pouring over something (quick reference handbook?) but didn't express any awareness of the stabilizer being trimmed[2].

Depending on how bad things got there are a few problems with this. First, electrically moving the stabilizer is much faster than moving it manually. MCAS can operate at two speeds, IIRC both are slower than the speed dictated by the buttons on the yoke (plus the buttons on the yoke will pause MCAS). But even MCAS will move the stabilizer much faster than a pilot could by cranking the manual wheels. I believe that moving the stabilizer from one extreme at the fastest speed to the other takes about a minute. You can find videos of the stabilizer mechanism on a 777 on youtube, it's just not something that's designed to move quickly.

The next problem is that if the stabilizer is pitched down sufficiently (perhaps by MCAS), your first instinct may be to pull back on the yoke (to move the elevator) to regain pitch. Well, once you've done that the aerodynamic forces may be such that you can't move the stabilizer into a nose up position until you let go of the yoke and let the plane pitch down further (Boeing references needing to unload the stabilizer in some documents). That's something you've gotta have cat-like reflexes for when you're already flying so low.

The really sad part is that the pilots could have disabled MCAS and retained electric control over the stabilizer by extending the flaps. But how are the pilots going to know this when Boeing refused to document anything?

> If you spend less on one thing, you can spend more on other things (or tax less), so I don't see how that follows.

As an additional note, universities right now are getting a huge subsidy: not only through tuition and student loans, but also from exemptions on income, property, and most importantly, endowment taxes.
That has not been glossed over at all, people bring it up all the time, especially in reference to Lion Air. But it's not a unifying factor in the two cases. Ethiopian Airlines has a very good safety track record and I have not seen it reported that they operate with more inexperienced pilots than elsewhere.
While I agree, I think it has to be noted that those revelations have a tendency to get eroded by everyday life.

It sure is no panacea, but it can be the first step.

take home a portion of for themselves and their family

I'm sure there are companies where the portion of value I get to take home is directly related to the value I and my colleagues created, but I've never worked at such a company. Perhaps that is the sort of thing unions could help with?

edit: That being said, I've worked at companies where the primary 'enemy' was either "the bosses at HQ" or rival departments and I agree that it is toxic and a terrible way to run a company. However when the company ends up in that state it is a failure of management and not of the workers.

I totally agree that there are two sides to this coin. On the one hand, you need to involve or support people who are negatively affected by changes (e.g., unions, co-ops, etc.) and, on the other hand, there needs to be effective regulation and decision making in the interest of the overall system of people (e.g., countries or the world).

It’s important to look at both of these sides when considering solutions, I guess I didn’t really do this in my comment. So thank you for this important insight!

To offer some additional thoughts on this, I can recommend the thought provink book Radical Markets by Eric Posner and Glen Weyl. They present quadratic voting (next to some other ideas) as one means of arriving at better regulatory outcomes. To me it’s not a complete or perfect solution but certainly interesting and maybe one piece of the puzzle :)
I do understand why you feel like that, I've been there too. No framework is a silver bullet, but over time you will see the value in them.

One thing though, with Groovy you can choose between dynamic and static typing. These days everyone agrees that you should use static typing with Groovy as much as possible. Use dynamic typing when static typing becomes hard, for example when working with JSON objects.

And Hibernate is really flexible with how close you get can native queries, the documentation however is not convenient there. But Hibernate developers like Vlad Mihalcea is working hard to document how you can do this and is writing blog posts and answering questions on Stack Overflow. I am really grateful for the effort he puts in helping everyone.

Taking direct bank transfers from random strangers is a good way to get your accounts closed for fraud and banned from all banks.

If just one of your supporters pays from a hacked bank account, or with North Korean/Iran etc money, your account will be marked as the receiver of stolen funds. Your bank will close the account, and they put your name on a register of people never to deal with again. They publish that register to other banks, so you'll never be able to bank anywhere with the same identity documents.

There is no route of appeal, and they can't even give you info on the supposed bad transaction(s) because that would reveal how their fraud detection works. "I'm sorry sir, we can't open you a checking account, and we aren't allowed to tell you why".

Taking money by credit/debit card protects you from that it seems - they are designed for taking money from strangers.

I've done some basic benchmarks and it has scaled pretty well. Mostly thanks to the excellent performance and scalability that comes from choosing Go and Postgres. IMO backend servers are where Go excels.

I'm planning on adding Redis support soon enough so that sudden spikes would have little impact on the database server (which is nearly always the bottleneck, unless you're compute-intensive, which isn't the case with Commento). So that if you suddenly get a few hundred thousand visitors, most API responses are cached and only a fraction will actually require disk access. Like reddit does, where it'll temporarily say there N comments, but when you open the page, there wouldn't be that many. A few seconds of inconsistency is a fine compromise in the comments world. Of course, Redis isn't going to magically make everything faster, so I'll have to be careful with where I introduce it. Optimise for the common case and all that.

I'm still in uni, and I've never actually worked on large-throughput, high-scalability stuff before, so all this has been a great learning experience for me. If you have any suggestions or war stories that might be relevant, I'm all ears!

A few good guidelines, but the author states this as generic autocomplete 'rules', and I feel a lot of bias and assumptions coming from programming and terminal contexts.

> If there are no subsequence/substring matches, it can optionally fall back to approximate matches. This is rarely necessary to provide

Supporting proximity matches is critical for anything dealing with city names, landmarks, events, person or commercial names, etc, where typos and mixed language input are a normal occurrence. This applies to almost every e-commerce site out there.

> Matches should be sorted alphabetically

This is countered by a few other of his own rules, such as 'prefix matches come first', 'exact matches come first'. Again, in some applications the best behaviour might be sorting by distance, recent use, relevance, popularity, ratings. Sorting is entirely domain-specific.
