The way colors are used is confusing. When I used expand to inspect a non-atomic instruction it looked like instructions were executed in the reverse order, due to the incorrect use of white as a highlight color.

Instead of ambiguous use of color, please use an execution icon to show which instruction is being executed.

For clarity, the value of the temp variable should also be shown.

I also agree that the backstory is a bit surplus to requirements and feels a bit pasted on.

Every dance style has its own culture, though of course many people enjoy dancing more than one style and there is a lot of common ground.

The advice given here would be appropriate for many partner-dancing social styles, such as tango, salsa, ballroom or lindy hop.

Many street dance styles are also social but with a very different dynamic. For example, in some styles you tend to gather around in a circle and everyone is doing simple moves to mark time, then one person or maybe a small group goes into the middle to do something more impressive, then they step out and let someone else take a turn.

Stage dance styles are more about performance than social dancing, so again you have a different kind of etiquette. You might still be dancing with others but usually in predetermined movements rather than improvising, and in this environment you're also working with people like choreographers and the production team for the show.
How exactly do you define stress resilience?

Is this a healthy skill to have, e.g. not stressing about things you can't control, learning not to be perfectionist, and adopting a healthy attitude as to what is or is not realistic?

Or is this emotional repression and chemical coping? Burying feelings of being overloaded, disrespected, having your needs ignored, and turning to alcohol, cannabis, nicotine, etc. to get through it?

Because depending on what it is, I'm not sure it's a "skill" I want to have. I've gone through very stressful periods of my professional life (in all cases caused primarily by mismanagement above me), and while I got through them, they only did harm, not good. There was nothing to "learn" from them. In no way did they make me a better person. They just took unnecessary tolls on my health and happiness, and even relationships.

My experience with lost items in Japan so far.

Been bicycling daily here for 10 years, never lock my bike. It's been stolen once, but with a bike costing <$100 I figure I'd rather save the 10 seconds per day vs. not losing one bike per ten years.

Forgot an iPhone once on a bench outside. Person who found it immediately called my contacts to find out how to return it.

Dropped my wallet once in Tokyo. It was returned to the nearest police box in less than an hour.

ECHR membership is a prerequisite for EU membership, and May is on record wanting to leave the ECHR.

Additionally, scope creep has turned Brexit from “Leave the EU” to “Leave all the European institutions which have power over the British government”, or at least that was the rationale given after the surprise announcement that the UK was leaving Euratom.

Therefore, while it is correct to say the Council of Europe is different from the EU, it is sadly also not an important point.

Echoing Geoff's article, I'm a big fan of the 51nb mobos from the X62 on. The X62 was very very good, and the T70 and X210 are even better. Can't wait for the X63.
One reason I'm taking time off from making X62 backlight kits is to make some new mods for the latest machines-- a 13" 3k screen and internal battery. I've gotten both running, but it takes time to work kinks out of production.

I don't even bother with Arduino clones. You can get much better for less money.

E.g. in the UK on Amazon an Arduino Uno R3 is £39.99 and a clone with excellent reviews is £6.99.

For £5 I can get an ESP8266 on a NodeMCU board - these have more GPIO, much faster CPU, WiFi, drop nicely in to a breadboard, etc. They work with the Arduino IDE with only a tiny bit of configuration.

For not much more there's an ESP-32 which adds, among other things, a faster dual-core CPU and Bluetooth.
Ultimately, the core issue here is corporate greed. Redesigning an entire plane is expensive and time consuming. Slapping hacks and patches onto an existing airframe with modifications is cheaper. To use a software analogy, Boeing hasn't paid down its technical debt. Except instead of broken services or customer outages, it's peoples' lives. It's the same reason that many companies don't pay down their tech debt, it only indirectly helps the bottom line and it's hard to get business leaders to understand why engineering needs to redesign something.
This fails in the GUI in cases such as if you accidentally hit navigation keys close to the Del key, like Home, End, etc. In those cases you may accidentally change the file selection in the same movement as the deletion, and then you whack the wrong file.

If you’re the person in charge of making the delete operation the best and safest it can be, you do not have the luxury of yelling at users to just be more careful, because the data shows very plainly that doesn’t work (despite this being the approach most IT people seem to think is acceptable). In this role, with these constraints, the inevitable conclusion is the make a trash can.

Likely, the reason the 737max story receives so much attention is because software devs (consciously or not) feel this could affect our industry.

There may even be some guilt involved (justified or not), if it involves software in any meaningful way.

Various community members have been warning for some time that we'll face regulation sooner or later; all that needs to happen is a sufficiently large disaster. The dependence between life-critical hardware and software will only increase in scale.

Whether or not this begins our "Iron Ring" moment, I think it's something devs implicitly feel, and is culturally resonant for them.

The thread does feel a little defensive, no?

I'm not saying that software was the cause, or even the main cause; though even if the other causes appear to be the precipicating factors, we should be on the watch out for defensiveness, without knowing the _whole story_

Some random thoughts...

I still listen to NPR. It seems to be slightly tame / a little bit liberal. (I need to listen to something during the day, as I'm a programmer in an open office.)

I read Bloomberg Business week,(actual paper edition) cause it's a little more business orientated and I don't see a big political agenda.

I have a kindle that is probably 6 years old, with limited features. I think it is awesome because I can just read a book and not accidentally click on a website...

I have stopped checking news sites, or have reduce it significantly. Zerohedge, splinternews...

What has helped the most, removing Facebook in 2010 and then twitter in 2017. That has been a relief and I feel as a burden has been lifted from me. Just cause I can, doesn't mean that I need to know what everybody thinks about a particular issue.

I also go to the gym for the sole purpose of getting away from the computer and phone. I rarely, use my phone while in bed. From dinner time to when my son goes to bed (about 3 hours) I put my phone away completely. I personally believe that the phone addiction is part of the problem with the 24 hour news cycle.

If you are writing Bourne shell without doing that, you are always going to have problems, because arguments are not always filenames. Yes, the syntax can be slightly annoying for historical/compatibility reasons.

You don't. Use a different shell, or write your scripts in one of the many languages that are widely available like ruby, python, etc. If a scrip0t has #!/bin/sh at the top, you can probably rewrite it into any language you prefer.

I don't think they have to remember all of them. Pilots rely heavily on checklists to make sure procedures are followed correctly and few mistakes are made.
Vue is my favorite. Easy to learn. Incredile for quickly prototyping the front end.
I used to be able to do the same thing when I was younger; I'm 30 now. I wouldn't ever study growing up, wasting my waking time consuming content --stuff you can't dream up since it's made by others. I would essentially practice what I did know in my sleep (using 'lucid dreaming') being conscious while asleep, as you were. Needless to say this isn't healthy, as now I'm not able to be as conscious while asleep, or seemingly not dream at all, and I'm now a narcoleptic, as I was diagnosed years ago... Essentially asleep while awake, ironically. Something that's not in my favor when I need to get work done. The extra thinking time while your body rests was really nice, though.

> pre-internet style of governance had substantive problems which the working class didn't like (e.g. globalization leading to a race to the bottom in manufacturing wages).

"Observing a problem", "diagnosing causes", and "presenting workable solutions" are three completely different things though.

Wage stagnation leading to quality-of-life declines is the first of these - people can notice this immediately in their life. Diganosing "globalisation" as the problem is harder and more complicated (would the US really have been better off trying to be a manufacturing autarky for the second half of the 20th century?). And the proposed solutions .. well, this is where it gets really bad.

The existing elite have done a very good job of suppressing the peaceful, workable solutions; various sorts of social inclusion and redistibution. That leaves only the unworkable and disastrous solutions out there.
In such a situation, your personhood would be sadly diminished.
Clickbait award of the day^. That was sure odd read.

To take from the linked author (who was merely stealing the clickbait title to diffuse the original claimant's paper).. "Overall, I found it very hard to believe in the conclusions of this paper. Perhaps my skepticism is merely a reflection of my dodgy genetics?"

I would have to agree. My dodgy genetics must also be causing me to not believe in things for which I don't have any valid reason to believe. It takes a certain level of bigoted audacity to even make such extraordinary claims about others without extraordinary research. Particularly within a 'scientific' context while equipped with mere assertions. No doubt the original paper served as confirmation bias gummy bears to the original author's religious fans who ate it right up, and will likely place the burden of proof on others to prove that these unwarranted assertions aren't the case when there has been no reason to believe in the original assertions to begin with.

Great.
I would totally pay (~$300) to jump on a pre-packaged MOOC like course that has a batch of students working together and the course fee would include the hardware needed and access to a TA like resource (when the batch of students can't solve a problem together).

I don't find that satisfactory. They don't have to explain themselves at all, but it would be nice know why the F5 purchase would charter that decision.

Yeesh. If true, it seems like it should have been a 3oo4 system, with added heuristics for handling soundness of the sensor inputs, and with easy override defaults (e.g. control surface override) and auto-disable on disagreement.

What I don't get is how this drifting compounding boundary condition wasn't caught during formal modeling?
Modern intel (and probably most other) boards use hardware scramblers for other reasons (storing all zeros or all ones causes signal integrity issues / current spikes), and secure the scrambling routine with a different code at each boot.

So, unless I’m mistaken, cooling the ram and moving to another doesn’t work any more.

You don't buy the new ones. You buy at latest an X230 and put Linux or BSD on it. All the excitement around 51nb is that you can upgrade to modern hardware if you think the X220 is the last good notebook ever commercially produced. A lot of people (disclaimer: including me) think that, which is why you see them as targets for things like OpenBSD and Libreboot.

But you're right, I would never buy a "modern" Lenovo though. But in fairness, I don't know that I'd buy a modern notebook at all.

Many residential buildings have horrible ventilation as they commonly rely on the random forces of wind and thermal gradient to force fresh air through cracks around windows and doors and through other holes in the building envelope. This can lead to long periods of time with ventilation far below ASHRAE standards. Conversely, if you are getting enough ventilation through leakage, the quality of the air may be poor due to pollen or other pollutants. One way to address this is to set up a positive pressure situation with a high quality air purifier pulling fresh outside air through a ducting system like https://www.iqair.com/sites/default/files/documents/InFlowW1.... If you don't own your home or just don't want to run a duct through your wall, you can add a window kit such as the LG COV31735301 Room Air Conditioner Exhaust Duct.

> The management scholar Emilio Castilla at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the sociologist Stephen Benard at Indiana University studied attempts to implement meritocratic practices, such as performance-based compensation in private companies. They found that, in companies that explicitly held meritocracy as a core value, managers assigned greater rewards to male employees over female employees with identical performance evaluations. This preference disappeared where meritocracy was not explicitly adopted as a value...

They suggest that this “paradox of meritocracy” occurs because explicitly adopting meritocracy as a value convinces subjects of their own moral bona fides. Satisfied that they are just, they become less inclined to examine their own behavior for signs of prejudice.

Which "market mechanics" are going to change that? This is a factory issue monkey cognitive defect, as far as I can tell.

> If the pilots had correctly and quickly identified the problem and run the stab trim runaway checklist, they would not have crashed.

I'm curious how long it takes to run that checklist, and how much altitude would be lost while doing this? How long does it take to reach sufficient altitude to have time for this?

Also, I have a question about stall recovery and altitude. Are there any altitudes for which it is better to go ahead and stall and fall flat out of the sky than to nose down and risk flying into the ground at above terminal velocity? If so, do any automatic systems on any planes recognize you are in such a "must crash" situation and try to pick the least worst crash?
RPCS3 PS3 Emulator – January 2019 Progress Report
One: shout out your favorite YouTubist, I guess, but a repair Apple makes is a repair Apple has to support.

Two: it's much, much harder to support a repair done on-site with a soldering iron than it is to replace a part. These repairs are much more likely to fail under both normal and unconventional use and then will come back for more repairs--which are themselves, still, expensive to provide.

Three: waste concerns have to factor in what Apple does with the part after they do the swap. (I have no insight into what they do, but your comment ignores this.)
