The term "grandfathered" is used in FAA literature for both pre-date (literally) and the designed before a regulation came into being.

The reason it exists is otherwise the FAA could release a new requirement that would halt a pre-existing production line that didn't meet it.

> Because part 135 operators will have limited ETOPS operations, the FAA has decided to grandfather from today's rule all part 135 airplanes manufactured up to 8 years from the effective date of the rule. For purposes of airworthiness requirements, part 135 operators may use these airplanes in ETOPS without certification under § 25.1535. This is a change from the NPRM, which proposed grandfathering only those airplanes that were on an operator's operations specifications up to 8 years after the rule. Under the NPRM, they would then have had to remain on the operator's operations specifications to continue to operate ETOPS.

> b. This Advisory Circular (AC) provides guidance to affected U.S. operators that operate aircraft outside the United States with aircraft that were never required to be noise certified. If you have such an aircraft, this AC outlines the noise certification requirement dates so you can confirm that your aircraft indeed pre-dates the requirements and should be considered acceptable. We use the term “grandfathered” for these aircraft. We strongly recommend operators of such aircraft to use the FAA form in Appendix 1 that includes a grandfather clause.

> These seats should provide adequate vision to the pilot's panel and forward windows in visual system models. "Grandfather rights" prevail on previously approved simulators; however, efforts should be made to improve surveillance visibility. These observer seats need not represent the aircraft seats.

The little “edit” button at the top takes you to the github repo, filing an issue is the way to go.

It might take some time to respond to, because this project got really far but not quite across the finish line, and I think the main maintainer has dropped out. We’ll get to it...
Yeah I don't disagree. I don't fly, but have sort of been following this out of curiosity. One comment I've seen from some pilots is basically "ehh, runaway trim isn't a new thing, we train for it in the sim, and there's a standard way to deal with it (disengage the automatic system and trim manually)."

So perhaps Boeing felt that this didn't really change anything in that regard. They seem to have been proven wrong.
And they were a shit product. As you yourself admitted. It doesn't help if something is supposedly "repairable" (by the 0.5% of buyers who might be inclined to do such things) if the product is such crap that it gets thrown away after a few weeks.
I too have my share of reinventing the trash functionality :)

garbage-io has some features that scratch my own itches:

- Trash files with the same name without clashing
- Delete things from trash directory base on deletion time and file size
- Hide the deleted files/directories before moving them, in case moving them takes a long time (I later think this was a bit over the top...)
- The smart deletion can also be used for e.g. ~/Downloads

I do feel that a better approach would be something that works alongside the trash functionality instead of replacing it, though.

I don't do much of excel directly as before we number crunching, need to process input before making and use to it. CSV format is good and then excel.

But for me k8s solves lot of problems, make deployment reliable, faster, infrastructure in code and these things. Other than k8s, haven't seen faster way of deployment on scale. IMO canary deployment style in istio is just the way deployment should be done. I find k8s great piece of software, still lots of apis need to be in GA, but still I found and see k8s a great piece of future.
That’s definitely the perception, though I’m not sure how true it actually is. A battle-tested analysis pipeline or experimental control suite is a huge competitive advantage for a lab.

The catch is that it needs to both evolve and stay solid at the same time: it’s hard to predict what you’re going to want in three years—-or find the time to clean up code from the last three years, especially since many of those folks will have moved on.
Please don't jump straight to extreme political labeling. Even if someone said something questionable, responding like this leaves nowhere to go except flamewar. This is one reason we have this guideline:

I'd like to see an official recipe for using closures as callbacks (for example in a UI library), where variables in outer scopes are potentially modified from within the closure.

See e.g. [1] for a possible approach.

I'm curious. Could you elaborate?
Spoof it.
Even if it Egyptian Air didn't crash their plane, Lion Air investigation alone exemplifies systemic negligence, not from the software standpoint, but from the top-down executive level and the negligence of the FAA.

So, your point is valid about that we need to wait for Egyptian Air's investigation, but misplaced because of the aforementioned argument.
In the programming fields, we call this putting in 'on the back burner'... don't spend too long on a single problem. Just put in the back of your brain and come back to it.
This article has some good points, but it also suffers a lot from the author's extremely narrow horizons:

- It's very US-centric. Public universities are AFAIK free or very cheap in Germany for example. The reason for rising costs in the US is in large part about cuts to government support for higher education.

- It's very upper-middle-class in perspective, with no understanding of anyone who isn't doing well. America is one of "the most prosperous countries" in the world if you're in top 10%—but if you're in bottom 30%, say, there are many countries where you'll be much better off. Anywhere with socialized medicine, for example: if you're poor, what is a routine trip to the doctor elsewhere can cause bankruptcy in the US.

- The author apparently knows very little history.

Consider this quote: "During the 20th century, “the people” were an ambiguous, lifeless mass. They couldn’t organize themselves, so organization came down from the commands of people who controlled the media. Nothing else was possible; deference to authority was the structural destiny of the Mass Media age."

This is absolute nonsense. The 20th century is bursting with political movements that came from below: good, bad, and ugly, whatever you might say about any particular one, there's a hell of a lot of them in total.

In the 20th century, in the US alone, you could point to the suffragettes, organized labor at different times, the KKK (4 million members at peak in 1920s!), the multitude of different workers' groups of all political stripes (from veterans' march to IWW organizers to wacky retirement-lottery scheme whose details I forget) who pushed FDR to eventually offer the New Deal to counter-act the rising tide of protest, the Civil Rights Movement, the anti-Vietnam-war protests, Stonewall and the gay rights movement... on and on and on.
I‘m sure that Bohemian Coding are _very_ scared of Figma. Just read the comments here - many switch from Sketch to Figma now. Multi-platform is more important than ever, with alienated Mac users switching to Win/Linux, and the iPad Pro becoming a part time computer for many. Having real-time collaboration also doesn’t hurt - Sketch cloud is way behind this.

If they don’t act now, fast, they will soon become irrelevant.
So you frame your solution as a continuation of the status quo.

Muscle strain is caused by keeping a static load on a muscle for a while without enough breaks to relax and recover.

Both focusing and convergence of the eyes require muscle contraction, and can lead to eye strain.

Moving work a bit further from the eyes and lower in the field of vision will reduce the amount of muscle contraction needed. Periodically focusing on more distant objects will help relax those muscles. For people working at a computer workstation, it is usually possible to arrange the computer display 3+ feet away from the eyes, and in the bottom half of the field of view. Periodically looking away from the display while thinking and remembering to get up and stretch/walk around every once in a while can make a big difference for anyone experiencing eye strain.

Another great book that is completely free and open source. Rust might be a little harder to learn then other languages but you can't deny that it has great resources if you decide to learn it.
I've not seen that claim before but it certainly seems plausible. It does seem less tiring if you're sitting next to an empty seat rather than a person.
Hmm, we all know for a fact that 737 max duct typed alight control system instead of solving the issue from root.

How is that relevant to instability.

And as a matter of fact, passenger airplanes are usually stable by design. What Boeing does violates this basic design principle in flights.

I love the idea and the interface.
I think the stories are a bit convoluted and confusing. Such problems are inherently hard to understand, convey and fix, and this is an example.

The "finding the issue" aspect is interesting but rarely used in real life (well, it's often used during debugging, once an issue was found in production).
Those frameworks introduce a necessary complexity when used to solve the right problem. Generally, when the necessity is to solve the human problem of building with diverse and disparate systems, not the technology problem of semantic interoperability amongst the systems.

The stack gets bigger as we look closer. Eventually it's less to learn a framework, than to learn the stack.

On the latter technology problem of semantic interoperability, the more frameworks the more complexity. Nothing I have until now or am likely to on work in future will be, as a coder, within a team of sufficient size or towards a deliverable of sufficient complexity, that the frameworks are the less-complex option. This is the reason I do not currently see any value in pursuing a working knowledge of most of those. I like to work in detail throughout the stack.

On the former, human problem of building with disparate systems, the more junior and inexperienced the team members the greater the bulk of work which may be considered 'diverse and disparate'. Thereafter the more early-career adopters of the large frameworks. This gives us delays in the development of tradecraft, though perhaps not the development of the short-term reward of monetary compensation. This aspect makes me a little sad about the whole thing, but I know that some diligence and practice with whatever will go a long way. They'll find the way lower down the stack eventually.

I am a little long-in-the-tooth at twenty years into a devops career. I choose to work the same issues of human complexity that give rise to the utility of the mentioned frameworks, without the specific need to become adept with the frameworks themselves, by developing skills as a guide and teacher of the trade in general. The biggest challenge I have and continue to deal with, is seeing the beauty of some of these frameworks that I don't wish to personally use, for various reasons.
Wrong again. You are obviously commenting about an area you are not familiar with.
That is a very weird scenario. You dont want stuff like animation affecting logic. The game logic should never be affected no matter what the animations are doing.
But if for some bizarre reason you did have that scenario, a way of doing it using a typical game engine approach would to put that callback at the end of a coroutine. If the character dies then no matter what is is you definitely dont want that callback to fire, (There shouldnt be logic being affected by an animation, but if that character is dead then it shouldnt be affecting anything at all) part of your game engine would be that coroutines do not run on things which have been destroyed.
No one was making a comment on veganism. I guess an opportunity to grandstand was too hard to pass up.
Why all this infra to draw random lines from a text file?
As an interviewer I've never looked at a candidates github. As an interviewee I've gotten a number of first interviews without having a github. It might help, and my friend at M$ says they look at it, but I don't think it is required.
It takes coordination and peace to operate a globally-available internet, that enables us to have cheap communication and access information.

What does it take to offer the internet in its current form? Massive infrastructure, cables running every which way across countries and oceans, electricity, etc-- and governments protect that infrastructure.

If order and stability is lost to the extreme viewpoints the internet enables, and eroding trust in our existing institutions, there will no longer be necessary support for the infrastructure that enables free, open, cheap communication.

I'm curious how adaption factors into this, because people say you get used to heat.
I visited the terminal a few years ago as part of the Open House New York weekend -- it's amazing, simultaneously feels like you're time-traveling to the past (an actual Mad Men-era cocktail bar that hadn't been restored yet) as well as the past's idea of the future (like you're on a Star Trek set). It was such an imaginative space, so earnestly futuristic without a trace of irony or embarrassment.

Apparently Open House New York was instrumental in preventing the terminal from being abolished -- once the public was able to see it for the first time, there was then enough public pressure to keep it.

I find it strange that the photos in this article only show the terminal itself (used as a lobby) and the inside of the hotel rooms, but not a single photo of the exterior of the hotel towers.

Here's a gallery that gives a much better idea of the hotel itself, under construction:

I’m a bit torn about this one, because it’s not universally clear that this is the correct way to build these kinds of systems in Rust. GTK has to due to the constraints of the system it binds to, but there’s a lot of experimentation of different ways that may be more Rust-y and not have the huge pain points this approach has.

Once its sorted, I think comparing and contrasting this kind of thing would be amazing though.
>The US has ~10 9/11s worth of traffic fatalities per year, but we aren’t flipping out and dedicating ourselves to rebuilding transportation infrastructure, because we just don’t care that much.

That's a pretty cynical way to look at it. I would imagine that part of the lack of response is due to the fact that most traffic fatalities are not intentionally caused and are diffuse (many deaths across time and space instead of in one big incident in a small geographic area).

As someone who works on an in-memory DB, good advice. You can go far, but it’s worth designing your system with the notion that data could be paged in/out behind the scenes.
Stoicism:

Focus on the things you can control.

Also, try to limit your exposure to the news, be deliberate about how much information/spam/whatever you are bombarded with on a daily basis.
A common thread was that these were labs that were joint between the university and a UARC or FFRDC. Academic grant funding doesn't usually include engineers, only PI and students, but FFRDC/UARC funding is different. So look at Johns Hopkins/APL, Penn State/ARL, Georgia Tech/GTRI, then (very importantly) look for labs run by a PI with a faculty appointment at the university.

A friend of mine worked at Hopkins for a few years, did interesting stuff, and walked out with a (free) MS afterwards.
I think a lot of the discussions are missing the point. The mcas system itself is indeed just a duct tape for a known design defect, ie using a new engine on an old body. It is like you replace a part in your car, find it over heating, and put an ice bag on it. The planned software “fix” is something like changing the volume of ice. I think it is a dead end and it is scary.
When I was in college, I took a Psychology class called "Altered states of conscienceness". The whole class was about how we learn and function under hypnosis, under the influence of drugs, when sleeping, etc. The overall theme of the class was that your body is always processing inputs from your senses, and different states of mind help you process differently by filtering certain things out while amplifying other things. But the same state of mind would have different outcomes for different people.

So the answer to this question is: Depends on the person, but there is nothing in the way the body works that would prevent you from learning while sleeping.
Thank you for explaining your interpretation. But surerly all critic of capitalism as an economic system can't be seen as antisemitic?

>Often times as a Software Developer I encounter a bug which has an obvious two line fix. Rather than implementing that though I often spend another few minutes digging into how and why that bug was introduced. Often times I'm left with a greater understanding of the problem or encounter a requirement that the previous developer was trying to implement that my fix would have broken.
>Other developers will simply assume the previous developer was an idiot and bash in the fix.

I've been enjoying Paul Dean's work for a while and I'm pleased to see some writing from him pop up here. Part of his work in the last 10 years has been on the website Shut Up And Sit Down (http://shutupandsitdown.com), which does excellent videos, reviews and articles about board games. He's recently moved on from that project and I'm very interested to see what writing project he'll work on next.

I agree on all issues, but he misses an important an one: identifier security.

Filenames must be treated as Unicode identifiers. I.e. they need to be normalized, as Apple did in HFS+. The common laissez fair garbage in, garbage out is a security risk.
Certain mixed scripts need to be forbidden, e.g. Cyrillic letters may not appear next to Greek in the same name. Confusables need to be warned about.

Right, but that doesn't really explain anything. Maybe the author is concerned about some future changes in the nginx project and they're preemptively moving away from NGINX, but even if that's the reason, it's not much of one. If they're using the open source version of NGINX, then it seems highly unlikely anything will change that will impact them.

"User serviceable" doesn't imply that the user will actually perform any service. I would be willing to posit that for the vast majority of users, an ATX desktop is just as "serviceable" as a Macbook Pro. In the case of the desktop, if it breaks, they take it to their IT department or Best Buy and get a technician to fix it. In the case of the Macbook, they take it to their IT department or the Apple Store and get a technician to fix it. And the Macbook Pro is a darn sight lighter, more portable and more attractive to have sitting on your desk...
