Not true. From what I have read, MCAS runs in 10 second intervals, with the amount of trim added increasing with each successive run. Once the trim has reached a certain point, it over-powers the amount of control the pilot has by putting pressure on the yoke (this controls elevators, which have less overall influence on the aircraft than the trim at full bore).

We know that the pilots on the previous flight with the 3rd deadheading pilot were attempting to right the plane using yoke pressure, and at one point the first officer mentioned that the yoke was "too heavy to hold back". That indicates that MCAS had pushed the trim past the point at which the pilots could physically overcome it's influence using the elevators.

No. For data-driven apps, it's a question of how your users interact with that data. Do you need an application that allows users to have an interactive view of some data that wouldn't be easily achieved through a traditional CRUD approach? Then consider SPAs. Otherwise, stick to traditional template driven apps.

SPAs significantly multiply the complexity of an application, particularly if you are using unopinionated frontend frameworks, where you suddenly have to make a huge number of design decisions on how your local data is stored and transmitted to your API.

Oh, thanks.

Now I totally see which aspects of 1935 in Germany parent has in mind when thinking about contemporary Russia.

I can see how Sarah Kirsch's birth was a foretelling sign for things to come.

Totally helping, totally awesome.
Weirdly enough when I was epileptic ('12-'17, couple of brain surgeries fixed that up) the auras I would experience were an occasional olfactory hallucination. I can't imagine there's any physiological connection outside of the brain but it's still a weird coincidence to read about "smelling" a seizure.

Maybe I’m daft but it seems like the premium is for cases of theft or damage not caused by driving. Seems pretty clear to me.
I am constantly in awe of my dog's snout. Evolution has produce a tool that detect odors in parts per trillion! His favorite game is "hunting humans" as I call it. I can go over a mile in the woods behind my house. And have no doubt my dog will find me minutes after my family unleaches him.

When another dog was sick with cancer, he showed interested in that area. I have no doubt there is untapped medical potential in this area.
I'm confused (but I'm also not familiar with the API). It sounds like you're saying you want to be able to read from 10k connections simultaneously while allocating less than a byte of buffer space to each, so I assume I'm misunderstanding some aspect of what you're trying to say (or some aspect of the API that puts this into the correct context).
This sounds very much like the model Google uses in its Fuschia operating system, where there is no access to the filesystem per se, but handles are passed around, that allow writing in a folder or a file, with various permissions attached to that handle.
I have tried a few times to get on the anki/supermemo bandwagon but have always struggled a bit figuring out how to structure the cards. Maybe I just have some hangups with it but would love to see a good workflow or best practices for incorporating it into my study.

I think specifically I would second guess myself for the syntax of the cards I was creating - and if there was another better way to do it. I always wanted to find almost like a guided walkthrough that would take me through the whole process or something and help me build the skills associated with it.
Too late for that now. These debts can never be discharged without grave consequences for the economy.

Actually no, because in the end it will look like an Escher building.
This is fascinating. If you do not mind me asking, what was the smell that you experienced?
Same here. It's way beyond unacceptable; it's atrocious. I hope someone has the time and energy to pursue a GDPR complaint against them, as at least some Oath sites are clearly targeted at EU-based users.
You can may be try the book or watch it at 1.5x playback speed.
I think that is all pretty likely.

One addition you have a lot of readers hitting one story, google or someone notices and ... someone(s) is going to be exposed to that topic more even if only because Google decides to push it on some of those folks.
It is my experience that I often know what a driver before me is going to do even before they have started to do so. Probably because I pick up very small changes in their behavior, as like reducing their speed a little, even before I have become conscious of them doing so. In theory you could train a neural network to do the same, but it would probably require a neural network much larger than the 'electronic' ones that are being used. I guess our 'biological' neural networks are still much more efficient, energy and size wise, than there 'electronic' versions.

I can't provide a citation for east ukraine being part of Russia, as all the old maps simply list it as "russia." Even in the brief "independence" of 1917, the East (capital in Karkov) immediately went communist under Russian direction and proceeded to conquer the rest of the place, except for the Polish west, which came later.
It's not just about raw effectiveness per dollar.

Lost lives hurt morale quite a bit, and play badly on domestic news.
Yeah I always have a metallic taste in my mouth before a seizure. I wonder if it's related.
This is entirely incorrect. The nose has a surface called an olfactory epithelium, in which are buried the actual sensory apparatus. Olfactory receptor neurons in here respond to the odors themselves, and transmit the information to the olfactory bulb. The olfactory receptor neurons are essentially analogous to related structures for the other senses, such as sight (rods and cones) and hearing (hair cells).
YES! Very disappointed there was no robot kicking
The story brings up other possible factors too, such as the nature of the engagement and the types of users (individual, as opposed to publishers) who were re-sharing it. Sensational headline alone isn't an end-all explanation for why a brief from a radio station w/ 7,000 followers would go viral.
1 - While learning some subject learn surrounding concepts or related facts as well. For example, if you are learning Calculus - learn the historical context, infinitesimal approach. If you are preparing for an exam and your text book gives one method and a specific topic, try learning related additional concepts and additional methods. This will help in not forgetting the core concept of technique. A close approximation scenario(not entirely true - but gives you an idea): you learn one forget one, learn four and retain two.

It's not as bad as it looks – he clarifies the situation in later tweets:

"The region you choose on the setup assistant will stay unchanged untill [sic] you reinstall the OS. I saw users who bought the Chinese model set the initial region to elsewhere, thus 🇹🇼 is properly displayed on their Mac and the 10.14.4 upgrade won’t affect them."

"So again there's no hardware lock. It has nothing to do with T2 chips. The only thing that changed is the mechanism macOS use to detect regions. You are still in control of your China model Macbooks."

The other examples are public companies. Epic Games isn’t. Something shady could still happen but there are only a few shareholders that control the vast majority of the company. I think a few other firms and the founder.

AS/RS systems have been making steady inroads into warehouses despite the lack of bombing runs and those require a lot of disruption. The rolly bots Boston Dynamics is trying to put forward don't really seem to require any infrastructure replacement at all. I really think this is an area where ad hoc experimentation is working and we'd be mistaken to try to create a single standard without trying everything first.
The app doesn't need precise location, full name, phone number or email. So if they won't collect it then there would be less useful information to leak. Having just photos without a way to identify the owner doesn't help much.
Time travelling immutable universal databases are their own reward, lol

http://www.hyperfiddle.net/ is probably the closest proof of concept I know of right now, some interesting properties are solved N query problem with smart and pinpoint caching, infinite TTL caches, SQL injection impossible, client exposable query language

Aggregate shapes defined at query time, not at insert time, it's mostly about moving immutable Datoms around not trees that are hard to reconfigure & reuse like nested JSON

I'd suggest looking into the feature set of Datomic, and then ask yourself what would happen if you ran with those concepts in the front end? - Fulcro

Early on in my career, like most novice programmers, I thought that custom written C programs could be much faster than unix tools if written well and for a specific purpose. However, I could not beat the speed of unix tools like grep, cut or cat even once. That is when I realized just how well written these tools are and just how much optimization work has been done.

The "positive" articles are at least talking about the F-35's attributes as they relate to its primary mission of SEAD. To me this is a recovery of some signal against all the previous noise, wherein we wondered if the F-35 was the all-around best fighter ever, and if not why not, etc.
seems hard to use in unison

Using the five lenses and five sensors in unison is kind of the whole point of this setup. The underlying technology is pretty clever and allows for some cool tricks not possible with a traditional camera. You can read more about the concept here https://light.co/technology

edit: that being said, I have no idea how well this turns out to work in practice
I wonder the same.

Also the price means you have fewer jets. If there is a tech flaw and handful get shot down... you're really low on jets.

I can't imagine we 100% know how effective all this tech is. We've seen how much ground warfare changed where the Humvee was found to be severely lacking, the US found that lots of high explosive bombs were less desirable now and very low explosive accurate bombs were needed.

I almost wonder if a two tiered system would be better. Top of the line, then high volume lower line where tech trickles down over time.

This would especially be handy in situations where you have air superiority and ... now still have a lot of work in the air to do, don't need expensive planes to do it, and really just want high volume coverage.

Should I be using a Modern do-it-all frameworks for Clojure and Clojurescript? My opinion is of course colored by my years spent in JAVA/J2EE's world of web frameworks ( Wicket, Tapestry, JSF + Hibernate EJBs etc.). In this world, I found most of my time was spent in learning the deep intricacies of the framework and fitting it to my use case. I began to hate every minute I spent on these frameworks.

And then I discovered Clojure and Ring and later Liberator. What I like about my current setup is that I have full control over my framework and my team knows its ins and outs and the corresponding Clojure code is succinct enough to allow developers to come upto speed quickly. Our set up is not sexy but it works and we know how exactly it works.

I am not sure what I would miss if I did not use a framework like this. Is Liberator no longer good enough ?

The consensus inside Russia is that Putin now already doesn't hold much of the real power (he used to be a final arbiter between the warring factions), and is kept around as the symbolic figure of authority. From what I see, somebody from the same faction (state security apparatus) will replace Putin, and everything will be more or less the same. Or not -- it is Russia, we are famous for being unpredictable.

There is a TED talk by one of Boston Dynamics Engineers where they demo the SpotMini robotic dog. The engineer tasks the robot to fetch him a glass of water. The assistant switches the robot to autonomous mode and the robot fetches the glass of water.

When the engineer is approached he tells the audience that the assistant just switched the robot back to manual
for safety reasons.

I think no one could have noticed and I like that kind of honesty. I also found it telling that the people who built the robot have respect for its dangers.
Ah, I wouldn't want to live in Russia from what I gather from the media but it's another story to live there and the picture is far from complete for a european such as myself.

I had a conversation with my grand-mother years ago about if it could have known it was better to leave. Some people knew, of those most couldn't leave.

Russia's whereabouts appear now and then on the TV but it's soon replaced by something else so it doesn't stay on our mind for long (enough ?).

I actually don't have a lot of info about russia. I know they engage in online trolling, that they have a whole org dedicated to bashing the EU and NATO in the media and that at some point there was a weirdly oriented map in the president's office that showed Russia as somehow cornered by continental Europe.

I also hear about how journalists are threatened by politics and the murder of that woman on Putin's birthday. And the invasion/incursion.

But then nothing changes here and Brexit linger on and on.

Interestingly Sigmund Freud only left the continent when the anschluss happened so it's quite hard to predict that kind of thing.
Australia Likely to Ban Domaining
In a dogfight an F-35 has an advantage but not a 3-1 advantage. BVR it might. The real issue however is that it won't be long before nations like Russia and China will be able to reliably get a weapons-grade lock on the F-35. Some people even think Russia already has this capability (and it's very realistic to think that they do). Electronic warfare is progressing very quickly and might render stealth completely useless long before the next generation of planes is built.
One of my tried and true learning habits that help tremendously is reading/watching the content VERY QUICKLY -- and not for full comprehension. I watch all educational videos at 2x speed as well as audio books first. With prose I speed through large chunks of pages at a time. Then going through it again at a normal pace. Helps a ton for retention and also boosts confidence on completely unknown subjects.

"A security risk that a company might be able to reliably implement on a large scale, vs. a technical security risk that might only be true in a research lab."

Man can make it, man can break it. One of the most valuable lessons taught to me during my times at Solectron Global.

You think you're secure in any way? No. The absolute nature of computer science makes 'security' a laughable goal.

See: Ghidra. I've already used it to pull out several 0-days from Windows 7 and 8+ (including 10 since it is based on 8.)

Your train of thought is good, but doesn't hold up to actual reality.

And while you think those packets hold no threat to you, try going overseas if you've said anything bad (I had to deal with this in Thailand after criticizing the King while living in the USA.)

Don't be naive - watch what these people in charge are doing.
Consistency?

Let’s start with strings...

- the standard null terminated single byte char C string

- the double wide null terminated C string required for dome frameworks - especially Windows CE

- the COM BSTR where the first two bytes are the length

- the ATL bstr_t

- CString that isn’t a null terminated C string

- of course the C++ string class. I’m not sure if this is ever used by the Win32 APIs

I’m sure I’m missing one.

I'm such a space enthusiast and I'd absolutely love a Biodome 3. That said, I think that people tend to confuse "sustainable colony" and "self-sustaining colony". If it ever comes to it, we will have a sustained presence on Mars for decades before it becomes self-sustaining. That said even with supplies from Earth a Mars base will need a lot of sustainability tech that can be applied on earth too.

Maps.me now shows object descriptions from Wikipedia
MAPS.ME has added Wikipedia descriptions to the information available for mapped places of interest.

Now MAPS.ME users can see detailed descriptions for over 20,000 sights across 193 countries. Wikipedia data is available through a place's details card which opens upon clicking on the map. Information can also be viewed off-line without any internet connection. To do this, just download a new map or update an existing one.

Wikipedia information has been added to the descriptions of primary places of interest and other landmarks in the cities of the world.

Updated maps are already available in the MAPS.ME application.

Carbon monoxide might be easier because it's one specific molecule, and the concentration has to be fairly high (comparatively) to be life-threatening. The paper mentions VOC (volatile organic compounds) which are probably harder to quantify. Detectors aren't always great either. I've worked in labs that didn't use helium detectors, because - at the time maybe - they weren't super reliable, but having them usually meant people would rely on the detectors instead of paying attention to the symptoms of a helium leak.

Smell/organic chemistry is weird, too. Some molecules have similar smells, despite being sometimes quite different. Many molecules have quite different smells, despite being not that different [0], edit: the esters table maybe shows that better, [1].

F-35 can vertically takeoff, can support carriers and has smaller and stealthier radar signature than cheaper planes.

Fighter airplanes have many roles, dogfight being one of them.

US also has cheaper F-14s, F-15s and F-16s to match.

What's Working in Mobile AR?
So far my version is just a crudely hacked together proof of concept on top of st I did as hobby. It just renders textured polygons without any shaders or more advanced stuff. Since this is my first OpenGL application ever it probably won't ever be released to the public. Somebody else with more experience should rather do it. A More advanced protocol like Valves Fossilize (https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Fossilize) should be used for that which means I can throw away my code anyways at this point.

However serialized graphics does not seem a project goal of either kitty or alacritty.
When you say non-language, do you mean unrelated to OCaml specifically or any language?

Not sure if that caught on though.
