til that con-man means confidence man as in the past people where foolish enough to trust people confident to be their friends and then asked for their watches (surprisingly they trusted) and thus stealing them.
>IIRC, the way browsers interpret margins and widths on the <body> element isn't consistent

I know IE5.5 doesn't allow resizing of the body, but it was fixed in IE6.

If you're using flexbox it's probably not your chief concern anyway.
> For an example of this, did you know it's possible to fully control a quadcopter even with 3 out of 4 rotors broken and no working fins/flaps?

The linked article does not support your point, it shows a quadcopter losing one rotor which then goes into a kind of 'controlled fall', two (or even three) rotors is never mentioned and even the one rotor missing scenario involves the whole craft spinning (see video on the page).
And there are a bunch of smaller options that are totally reasonable, depending on your use case. I feel far too many people select AWS as a knee-jerk reaction, when something like Digital Ocean or Zeit. There are plenty of smaller players that are completely reasonable, and you'll probably get better support since they need your business.
But why follow the influencer at all?
Apparently some company called Pencor has gigabit symmetrical fiber where I live, but I can't find any reference they even provide ISP services, and the mentioned subsidiary only advertises DSL. Considering I live in a rural town of 3k I doubt it.
When it comes to flight computers it makes sense to be conservative when it comes to computing power - the goal should be simple, proven, and functional. But when it comes to diagnostics why not use more computing power? As the article states A second electronic system found on other Boeing jets also alerts pilots to unusual or hazardous situations during flight and lays out recommended steps to resolve them. Seems better than flipping through a paper manual when you've only a minute or two to save the plane.
Glutin v0.21.0 Release Candidate Season
Wait until they finds out what software powers the nuclear weapons of 90%+ of the world, top-tier fighter jets, "critical" infrastructure like power (including nuclear), and countless financial/banking systems.

To be fair the article doesn't critique using 1990s (or earlier) hardware/software. It's merely a clickbait headline. The only reference is dismissed by the very next sentence as insignificant [Boeing could be replaced with any ~~expert~~ somewhat-knowledgable person on the subject]:

> The flight-control computers have roughly the processing power of 1990s home computers. A Boeing spokesman said the aircraft was designed with an appropriate level of technology to ensure safety.

This only adds to my lowered standards when approaching NYT articles over the years. They've long been abandoning being correct for being entertaining at a seemingly accelerating rate. Which is too bad considering plenty of people continue to hold them to a higher credibility over the typical clickbaiter sites. Considering they are a subscription service I'm not convinced this is justified.
> margins

The profit margin is the amount by which revenue exceeds costs.

It's circular reasoning to point out that an industry with enormous redundant costs has low margins.
> Since then, actual experience showed that about every 20 years

That's not really a good metric. What you need to do is a time varying analysis and consider the total number of reactors (globally).

Eg. if we hold danger of reactors constant but we increase the number of reactors over time then you'd see disasters being more frequent (but the opposite is true).

Alternatively if we hold the number of reactors constant and pretend that all new reactors replace old reactors you can determine if new reactors are more, the same, or less dangerous.

But to do a real analysis you have to combine both of these (and some more stuff). Otherwise you're pretty much just saying that the average of the set {1,2,3} is 2. That 20 year thing is a bit contrived and I'm surprised it has popped up a few times.
Thank you for reminding me of something I'd rather not remember.

One thing I remember is Microsoft tried repeatedly with Win95, 98 and ME to get USB support to work correctly. Failing each time and having to start over. Much to the horror of peripheral manufacturers. With Windows XP that finally mostly worked.
That's like the "Zone" alternate data stream in Windows/NTFS for the Windows folks. And as in Windows some apps add them, some don't. (Windows ZIP vs 7-zip)
We all have excuses why we should get those benefits.

Sadly people often afford others none of those excuses.
This is a great answer. Thanks for being thorough and up front with your responses
Without notarization, the signature of the app is tied to the lifetime of the developer id certificates. Thats one of the benefits of notarization (which Microsoft also I believe requires now) - the notary can say 'it was signed while the developer id certificate was still valid', which allows the signature to outlast the certificate.

I would expect Developer ID certificates to all expire by the changeover, with the only point for continuing to ship Developer ID certificates would be so that new app builds can work on pre-Mojave OS releases. Or I suppose skipping any Apple-run scans of your software.
Robots probably.
Thirty years ago nobody knew why they should care about the internet. Fifteen years ago nobody understood why they should get a smartphone. New technology often has to initially answer the question of "Why should I care", even if it's obvious in retrospect. You could wait around for people to figure it out on their own, or you could help them.

Just as an illustration, if you watched the show Silicon Valley, this was one of their big challenges. We made something brilliant, but hardly anyone understands why it matters.
I concur: I worked out regularly at the gym for ~3 years then I felt very bored and switched to martial arts. I still go to the dojo three times a week (and I am now entering my 30th year of regular practice).
It's not about winning or losing, it's about setting healthy boundaries. No one owes anyone anything but if you are giving the fruits of your hard work away for free you get to set the rules. I have fired clients who were being dicks before and they were paying me good money. This is no different.
The only solution is fiber optics. To the home everywhere its not cost prohibitive, and then via 5G everywhere it is (ie, anywhere there is insufficient development to congest wireless networks).

To make that happen will require substantial federal legislation that will need to overcome the lobbying and influence of a 500 billion dollars worth of big telecom parasites and near total change of leadership at the FCC.

It should be publicly funded, publicly owned, and done akin to the Eisenhower Interstate System of the 50s, because it is about as important as those highways were to the future prosperity of the country.
Yeah and with their 21 yo alcohol law tied to road funds... sure. Lets play.

I live in Indiana. Lets shut down the interstates for non-Indiana citizens. Yes, that means the I69, I65, I70, I90 corridors.

The feds would have came to a 'deal', in new speak.
Trader Joe's sells Montezuma's 100% dark chocolate, which I enjoy, and I sometimes eat sweets.
I haven't totally given up sugar but I eat foods with less sugar now and whenever I try something with a high sugar level again its really disgusting.
I tried a 100% dark chocolate bar on a whim a couple of weeks back. As expected, it was not great. It was like over-extracted espresso in solid form.
Fruit is not processed, contains fiber (necessary to slow absorption), is more compatible with our biology.
Huh, I didn’t know of this but I did know about the settings and “sudo spctl --master-disable”. It’s probably supposed to be something you come across about as frequently as terminal commands for some then.
Uhhh, yeah if 'spying' means Chinese students, post-docs, and professors participating in the development of technology and sharing the results with Chinese colleagues.

As long as America gets better access to technology, it should be okay for people to share knowledge, it's generally a good thing to do and Chinese people love the west coast, the Chinese invest as much in America as they're allowed to. Welcome!
> I imagine you can still pay $1000+ out of pocket to have a baby in a US hospital, even if you have great insurance.

I just got that bill, in fact, and we have about the lowest deductible insurance you can buy, at a cost of about $1500/month. It was still $6500.
> This will only really impact macOS developers without an Apple Developer account, which I guess are a minority. Probably in that minority most are compiling to macOS from Windows or Linux.

This shouldn't change the behavior for these apps - for several years, these apps have been blocked by default, requiring the user to open them from a menu (rather than by double-clicking) to get the option to allow them to run.

The change is in the process for macOS developers with apple accounts - in addition to signing locally with their developer id, the build is uploaded to apple to scan for issues then notarize.

This does give different properties to the app - builds can be individually revoked, and the signature can outlast the developer certificate. It may mean eventually that macOS apps using private API can no longer be signed - that depends on what apple checks/does with the builds before notarizing.
You're not contradicting me. The section you're quoting is not about this, by the way. You want section 2.5.2:

"Apps should be self-contained in their bundles, and may not read or write data outside the designated container area, nor may they download, install, or execute code which introduces or changes features or functionality of the app, including other apps."

If other platforms are a waste land then why is Apple a afraid of freedom. If they opened up nothing should change right.

Aah, thanks for the clarification :) the top voted comments on this article now indicate that as well, so hopefully no one else will have the same confusion.
I think if an oddball division makes money and doesn't require much oversight by the parent company they just toodle along. Especially if the hassle of selling off the division isn't worth managements time.
Do you have any info on the issues with the latest (2019?) X1 Carbon? I was looking at it to replace my Dell XPS, but I'd like to be able to run Linux on it at some point.
That so-called 1990s computer is probably a year old, embedded in a Honeywell module that’ll be available new for the next 15 years.
You're nicer than me. If I had a teenager, I wouldn't buy them a smartphone at all.

In fact, as a teenager, most of my friends had cell phones, but I didn't. And it was completely okay. When I went to college, I purchased my own cell phone and plan, which I paid for with the job I got while going to school. My family wasn't poor, my parents just didn't think I needed a cell phone, and they were right.

I'll probably get my kids a phone when they hit their teens, but it's definitely not going to be top of the line. If they want a fancy phone, they can earn it themselves. It's completely optional at that age, even if they don't think so.
It is getting better, but a big part of the problem is that it is the only thing getting better. They run fiber lines to cell towers, but the people around still can't even get DSL. More people are relying on mobile data and a few others have gotten mobile data to a home router for internet since the only other option is dialup or slow and expensive as fuck satellite. It is enough for a single person to watch a video at 480 or maybe 720, but that is about it and slightly temperamental.
In other words, dose matters. It's what separates water from being life-sustaining vs. a quick-killing poison.

Equipment is getting more sensitive, so you find more cases if you're strictly looking at a binary level.

We have different cutoffs for different foods for the same drugs. This does make sense - while an animal may be given an antibiotic and need time to wash out, you're probably not giving it to a shrimp, so why did it get there in the first place?
Exactly, we've all been shepherded here and now have nothing to show for it but increased rates of cancer, illiteracy and suicide. All thanks to PR.

Just had this with an account I setup for my parents. I have recovery email AND know when account was created - not good enough. My parents use a landline that can't get a text and apparently enough to deny them (Google won't Dona voice call). Would pay 50 to unlock. Only option is to setup a new account. Ugh. This same email used for Apple Id and they like their Apple stuff

That's precisely the point: don't use Betas in production, unless you're okay with that. Do you have a suggestion on wording for the help text to reiterate that more clearly?

The background here is that a Beta product is still in flux. In particular, it might not be GA yet because it hasn't yet met its internal SLO for enough time, proving that it can consistently meet the SLO for its SLA.

While we could let products ship randomly, since SLAs "just" mean we pay you if we don't meet them, we choose not to. Customers expect that if a product says "this is our SLO/SLA" that we intend to hit that.

We hear you though; we don't like super long Beta durations any more than you do. Sometimes though, we reached Beta and didn't realize we hadn't met the quality bar we wanted.
Doesn't seem like that needs to be a long term hard contract of the system. It sounds like it only supports HTTP/1.1 right now, but I can see HTTP2 support becoming a thing and that would then enable GRPC.
Not OP but I think he is referring to speed of development, not execution?
I tested it with an article on my own website from 2003.

I first posted it on

http://jeenaparadies.de/artikel/webdesign

then I had a 301 redirect there for a couple of years to

until I stopped paying for the .de domain. About 5 years ago I made another 301 redirect to

http://paradies.jeena.net/artikel/webdesign

which is still in place. DDG finds it but not Google and actually neither does Bing.
This is ridiculous. There are about a zillion products and brands out there that people didn't know about until they found out through marketing.

Also, perhaps folks working in data centers can and confirm/deny, but from what I know it's usually strictly forbidden to bring any USB devices into a data center area.
> To be fair the article doesn't critique using 1990s (or earlier) hardware/software.

I actually edited in an extra paragraph at the end of my original post because I wanted to at least credit the author for talking more about design issues than "processing power" in the body of the article. The title is very bad, though.

I write quite a lot in j/k ; unfortunately usually not for work related things but more and more so. I am far more productive in them than other languages for certain (mostly to do stocks and financials) fields. But I cannot expect my colleagues to go from C# to j ;)
Part of the point of the OP, as i understand it, is that theres also a cultural war going on, where if corporations end to get their way, by controlling/locking developers and users on their platforms, people will see this as normal.

This happened before with radio and TV signals. A great way to have peer to peer comunication, with local TV's and radios, ended up being regulated.. and in our culture, its normal to sit in front of a TV, and have a few monopolies to choose what we will watch.

And right now its unthinkable to revolt to those kinds of laws that forbid us to transmit content, as we accepted as normal (where's the cultural aspect of it, shaping our behaviour).

The same will happen to the next generations if we dont take a stand against this. Normal users wont understand the social, cultural and political implications of this. Companies like Apple defining what you can or cannot use, listen, see or install in your own device.
What I was told was considerably more extreme and on a much shorter timeline.

As for political instability due to drought, not sure that's not always happened. Is weather actually more extreme now than it was 30 years ago? I don't think so.

Anyway, not a denialist. But neither am I that much of an eminent worrier anymore, nor do I really believe the models are necessarily that accurate. But, fossil fuels aren't a great idea anyway, they are dirty all around.

I guess we will see in another 20 years if runaway climate change happens. Maybe I'll climb back on the worried train.

Really depends our your capacity for risk. If you're a small startup team, getting the benefit of automatic scaling with extremely little management overhead (especially compared to something like Kubernetes) could be worth the lack of explicit uptime SLAs.
Wow, that easy cross-compilation story is great. Neat ergonomic benefits also, like Zip downloading musl on your behalf to create static binaries.
Great article! The only thing missing is a discussion of whether manual retrim after disabling the stabilizer trim motor was actually possible given the aerodynamic constraints. This theory's been discussed quite a bit here on HN and pilot forums.

The theory is that, on the Ethiopian flight, after disabling the stabilizer trim motor while there is mistrim, the aerodynamic load on the jackscrew was too great for it be movable by the copilot using their crank. The pilot was perhaps using their strength to pull the yoke back, which meant both that he was unavailable to help crank, and that the aerodynamic load was increased by the elevator directing airflow in opposition to the stabilizer.

There is an old “yo-yo maneuver” that stopped being mentioned in Boeing manuals decades ago that describes having to relieve load on the stabilizer before manually trimming, in this case by releasing the elevator and pushing the nose down even further, which I’m sure would have been very unattractive given their high airspeed and low altitude if the pilots even understood the procedure, which is no longer part of simulator training.

This may explain why the trim motor appears to have been re-enabled towards the end of the Ethiopian flight: because purely manual trim was impossible.
The two sides that I've hopped back and forth from in this argument are competition leads to innovation, and fragmentation is the problem.

Getting started with Linux 8 years ago, I used to think the endless array of distros was a beautiful and unique characteristic that reflected on the openness of FOSS. As I gained experience, I realized that the differences were too close to really care. That there's an awfully large amount of effort being put into divided communities too maintain working "operating systems" that are hardly unique.

I find Linux best suited in its inherent case, Unix for the x86 PC. Unix as a programmers workbench. Unfortunately and fortunately the "Windows killer" nameplace is responsible for its early success and what it will probably continue to live by for desktop usage.

It's always great to hear someone put life into their grandma's Windows 7 laptop by reimaging with an Ubuntu USB. But I feel like that doesn't last long as non corporate supported desktop Linux doesn't hold up well without some annual sys admin love.

I definitely went on a rant, but what I can conclude is that competing technologies isn't really to blame as the freedom of choice goes with the nature of FOSS. The bigger problem is that we are fighting to turn a Unix like OS into a Windows replacement by relying on voluntary man power and overlapping attempts at essentially the same goal. Leave it to Apple and Google to bring Unix to the masses, if that even matters.

My sophomore year of high school, I was trying to writing a Discord (chat platform) bot for a server I shared with friends and unknowingly included the private key in a public repo I hoped to show them. A specifically written crawler for Discord keys found the key and starting spamming the server with images of very very undesirable things from the far corners of the internet at a rate of hundreds per second. Needless to say I learned my lesson the hard way.
Maybe I'm a bit of a rust fanboy and a bit of a skeptic but

Zig and Jai aren't going anywhere. Zig appears to be a largely single contibutor (https://github.com/ziglang/zig/graphs/contributors the creator has < 2/3 of commits).
Jai does not have a public compiler and is not likely to get a public release anytime soon.

As for rust we don't know yet how big of a chunk of marketshare it will take from new c and c++ code.

Not many people still use c code for "everything", most have already switched.

When I made less than $30k/year in Los Angeles and had Obamacare, I was paying $144/month to see a nurse associated with a second rate doctor (I also went to a couple urgent care facilities with nearly the same level of quality). The wait times were an average of two hours and I paid at least $75 /visit without any real resolution to my allergy problems. I probably had 10 visits without that needed resolution.

When I became a salaried employee in the Bay area I went to an urgent care recommended by Cigna and my allergy problems were resolved inside of 15 minutes with a $20 copay.

Obamacare is anything but cheap when you are poor.
