So, the AoA indication is a feature that can be activated for a fee (which most likely exists to cover costs of modifying the configuration from the base configuration, so imagine as an analogy a $2 fee for some really minor change to a car you ordered). The reason this is an option is that it requires additional training for the pilots, some airlines already have this training (American Airlines is one example) and theres no enabling it and then not training the pilots on it.

As many have noted, AoA is not commonly used in non-military piloting in the United States, so its no surprise its not commonly ordered.

I am also under the impression that the AoA Disagree indication was new on the 737 MAX, I haven't checked the 737 NG manuals for it.
I don't know about PL/I but Prolog kind of cheats, in my opinion, about the reserved words. It is very strict about naming conventions, which is (IMO) worse than having reserved words.
I just got done racing the La Crosse Omnium and my favorite stage by far was the uphill time trial. No drafting, just going straight up the bluff for 2.3 miles climbing 530 ft.
Errr yes my bad.
I think one has to look at this from a business minded point of view. One way of doing that is going for what could be an immense market.
You have 20.5 years until Petrol cars are outlawed in the UK. Best get saving. Also -- this is no such thing is carbon neutral petrol.
But if you are not careful this will increase inequality between rich and poors.
actually if you need to support core and .net 4 you probably need to target .net standard 1.6-2 anyway, i hope at least .net 5/6 will support that.
I expect you're going to see automation go a lot further in enhancing people's driving than you'll ever see robo-taxis be a viable primary mode of transporation.

So it's probably not necessary to worry about human drivers being illegal, but you might see cars without key safety features become illegal the same way seatbelts and airbags are required today.

So no more riding the shoulder, automated enforcement of traffic laws (so no speeding, no rolling stops, must yield at a yield sign, etc.).
Yeah that's awful, and like I said, Amazon's policy of "refund and we'll pick it up" if there's a problem has kept me shopping there.

My latest issue was a clearly used item being sold as new, and it was damaged. The price had increased since I ordered it, and with one live chat they couriered me a replacement, and picked up the old one, at no cost to me.
A fun fact - Java is over 23 years old. Don't know if anyone would call Java "new" anymore.
> They can force companies to make risks clear, but if the consumer accepts the risk, that should be that.

It doesn't solve anything when the problem is with externalities and prisoner's dilemmas.

Taxes on sugar and smoking can be argued on the grounds of increased load on national heathcare, at least in countries with publicly-funded healthcare. Taxes (or rather, pulling back on subsidies) on meat can be pretty strongly argued as effective means of reducing emissions and slowing down/mitigating climate change. Almost all situations where externalities are the problem share the exact same pattern: "it would be better if nobody did X, but since everyone does X, why should I stop and deprive myself of the value X gives me?".

Personally, I came to believe that the job - perhaps the main job - of the government should in fact be to act as a central coordinator, to prevent citizens from falling into emergent prisonner's dilemma-like traps.

As for regulating gambling and smoking and many other things you can see as "limiting freedom" - it's not like an individual decision leading to self-harm is always, or usually, an unique situation. Gambling isn't a random event, it's an exploitation scheme perpetrated fully intentionally by other people, who have literal textbooks describing the best way to fuck their fellow men and women over. It would be a pretty inhumane government that didn't take an interest in curtailing this.
Speaking as an engine mechanic by trade and a python programmer for hobby, im not sure how i feel about more electronics in cars just yet. However, some of them are just objectively meaningless.

-Soundaktor. this is a tiny plastic speaker mounted in the footwell of most Volkswagen cars thats designed to make fake engine noises. The idea being, if the car sounds aggressive, people will enjoy it. Ford uses these as well, and if they die they will trigger an ODB code and a trip to the dealership to fix/replace.

- engine auto-off/on. This is a feature that originally showed up on Mercedes trucks to prevent drivers from idling in docks or streets. They extended it to their luxury cars, and now most high end cars to this. The idea being that if you stop at a red light, the engine shuts off to "save gas." The only thing this feature does is halve the life of your starter motor and battery.
There is even a chary picking type of deployment (do not use entire framework).
Yeah, in small isolated places I am sure it can work. But try taking a horse from Quincy, MA to Washing D.C. Like John Adams did many times. If self driving doesn't become "illegal" but regulated to small isolated areas (aka "tracks"), than you might as well just make it illegal. A lot of people who like driving won't be able to afford having a self driving car, and a manual driving car, a trailer so they can transport their manual driving car legally to the track. Not to mention, most tracks are boring, mostly flat, circles and not at all the same as driving on a mountainous road.
It already did, check Azure Sphere.
But that's the whole point -- it means they need some people to stop working. If the workers are willing to make that trade off then they don't need the company's assent, they can just have the appropriate number of people quit. The lower supply guarantees more work for the remainder.

The problem is everybody thinks they're going to be the one who gets "more work" and not the one who gets the axe.
The use-case listed there (the change of address) can be implemented perfectly fine with any rational or non-rational database. I personally would not switch to a completely new database and new paradigm just because of the requirement to show user's address based on the date. And for data that changes a lot - time series db still seems like a better choice.

So what's the real use-case?
Semi-tangent, but as someone who didn't try to follow AOT compilation but very much wants to, would anyone have tl;dr instructions using the current version of .NET on how to turn a HelloWorld.cs file into a native HelloWorld.exe? You'd think it's just calling a couple of commands on the command line, but every time I've searched for it I've come across pages and pages of documentation I had no time to look through.
"So many of us live in quiet desperation".

This is so true it hurts.
The cost of the agricultural feedstocks to biofuels are not easy to reduce further, whereas renewable electricity is getting less expensive and likely has much further to go. I think CO2 to fuel will have a decisive cost advantage over biofuels.

The reason to use direct air capture rather that going for higher concentration point sources is one of scale. We want to produce fuel at scales much larger than can be accommodated by any other means that capture from the air.
Just saw there's some more technical details here https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/shipping-a-linux-....

Whilst it doesn't explicitly mention Virtual Machines or Hypervisors, I'd read this as making use of that kind of technology with some additional tech. for interop with Windows to the level of WSL currently.

EDIT: and here's the confirmation https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/announcing-wsl-2/ it's a VM
> we can decarbonize the existing vehicle fleet without replacing it.

Put that way, it's a huge improvement and avoids having to electrify entire fleets first.
So what happens to the gasoline afterward? This seems only useful if you bury it underground in an attempt to reverse climate change. If you just use it for fuel, then is this anything other than a really inefficient electric car?
Interesting point of reference, but doesn't prove or disprove the parent comment
So, the goal is carbon-neutral gasoline.

Short term, I suppose your target is feel-good gas burning vehicles. Longer term, do you envision this technology being used for clean(er) + carbon neutral municipal power generation, or is the fuel type just wrong for that?

I ask because a stop-gap can easily become permanent, and it'd be unfortunate to continue dumping particulates (pm2.5/10), smog, etc into the air in major cities. One huge benefit of electric vehicles is you can make power where population is scarce, and use it where the population is. You don't get that with burner vehicles.
Yeah that's why I'm also still on cmd.exe.

Every time I've dove into Powershell, wow, impressed, but I have over 2 decades of experience with cmd.exe!
I've long thought that all highways/interstates should have paved bike path and a dirt trail away from the road itself. This would give people the option of riding horses or bikes in a much safer manner.
If you've brought your car in for service only 6 times in 4 years you're either doing some service yourself or falling behind on your maintenance schedule. In 4 years you should be changing your oil alone at least 8 times, 16 if you use conventional instead of synthetic.

Maybe if you own a Tesla or a luxury car, you're falling behind on that schedule. But nearly all consumer cars sold in the past 3 decades only require about 1 service trip a year, and that includes changing oil. (See https://www.edmunds.com/car-news/tips-advice/stop-changing-y...)
It appears that is what they have done though: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/shipping-a-linux-...
actually i think .net 5 will clear a lot of stuff up. basically there is no more naming confusion and once we are on asp.net 6 no version conflicts will ever be there.
its the best step they could do.

they also communicate clearly now that there will only be one dotnet implementation in the future, .net 5 and forward. in the past there was no clear message what will happen with mono, .net4x, etc...
It did not occur to me that this is linked to politics until you mentioned it. If you feel that is hindering oyu in any way, feel free to skip the mention.

I see so the primarily utility of Groupon is that businesses can pay for a chance of repeat customers and/or extra spenders? I think the theater is a good example of the latter.

Then the question arises, why can't businesses do this themeselves? Why can't the breakfast place you frequent just advertise $20 worth of food for $10? Why Groupon? Is it because Groupon can send foot traffic on demand for a cut of the sales?
That is not the same, there are other cross-platform libraries. Give it OTB.
Long term we need to do this and then pump the resulting alcohol back underground or in some other reservoir where it can be more or less permanently removed from the environment. Basically we've built up an enormous energy debt from carbon that we need to repay to avoid cooking the Earth to death.
Organic feedstocks (non-fuel), although smaller isn't exactly a tiny market. Depending on how much control you have over the fixation process you might be able to tap into some high-value alcohol markets. That's the main reason I added the follow-up to the original questions.

In other words, the flow of material would look like:

CO2 -> polymers, drugs, and other useful solid materials

There would be no [product] -> CO2 step at the end. It cuts out the re-release of CO2 and eliminates a dependence on petroleum.
>Then why not focus on the anti-competitive behavior, instead of trying to remake the entire society in your leftist image?

>go to a regulated track and drive

Ugh, what a stupid comment. Yeah sure, let me not only have 1 car, but now 2 cars, a trailer to legally transport the manual car. Then go on a boring as hell, flat, circle. This is not at all the same as say driving around a mountainous region, or along the coast. You can go fuck yourself with your regulated "track".
The unit economics around this are by no means perfect but the BIG point here that should probably be in all caps is that fact that the thermal process is displaced by the use of electricity. We could argue on what is used to generate said electricity, but that is beside the point since this innovation opens up many more possibilities than are stated here. We could also argue about the comparative cost of produced energy vs conventional fossil, but lets not forget that those same arguments were used during the early commercialization of solar energy.

In my opinion, the conversion process should stop at the creation of alcohols which can then be used as additives in E-85 gasoline for example, or in other chemical applications that have a less direct and immediate carbon impact on the environment.

I also think this innovation has a larger impact if it were used to bring existing generators of emissions closer to being carbon neutral. It also reduces the burden of being cost efficient on Day 1 since the carbon intensity of large emission generators is already a cost they'd be glad to mitigate or get rid of (esp if the process generates a valuable by-product). Imagine power plant stack exhausts channeled through this technology, or if were miniaturized and made a standard part of every fossil fuel combustion engine...we could all be buying gasoline and selling ethanol before you can say Prometheus.
Yep, we even gave them a heads up it was coming and they mention it in their sunsetting post[1]:

>TimescaleDB is a PostgreSQL extension that provides advanced and highly performant automated partitioning on time-series data, enabling you to ingest raw data at very high throughput as well as query it efficiently. Their next release includes a feature called "Continuous Aggregates" that, similar to PipelineDB's continuous views, materializes results of views over raw data, but also stores aggregates over the entire history of your data.

This is the case for me. I just can't be apathetic to what seems like impending suffering at a scale never seen. N=1, though.
All I hear is:

>Nothing has changed, except that each existing layer will have pre-baked compromises to external parties.

But... in what way?

1. Are we just cataloging the sharing agreements some specific vendors have already arranged?

2. Will the standards body simply require anyone using 5g branding to satisfy such relationships to the awareness of the body?

3. Have some kinds of laws changed?

???
Specification Gaming and the Coding Interview
Yes, one of the things that gets glossed over many times in this field (I used to do research in artificial photosynthesis) is that water gets consumed to create the fuel, and is released as vapor from every engine's exhaust. So to generate 10 million barrels requires about 10 millions barrels of pure water, per day, to satiate the US.
Yeah, the dot has always been unwelcome now that you mention it. Including in my filesystem.

Not to mention the fact that the whole thing was named after an experience that to me at least has always meant "Shoot, .com isn't available!"
It's extremely easy to prevent publically available S3 buckets, and there's even built in policies for it.

It's actually fairly difficult to make a bucket public without going through a few hoops even without that.

The only reason this is happening is sure laziness and lack of any true change control processes. It's not because it's hard.
I totally agree on skepticism. We are working hard to prove our economics. We are targeting selling renewable gasoline from the air for a profit next year. It will be much better for air quality too!
Personally: Carbon negative aims are admirable, but idealistic. Carbon neutrality is in many cases much more feasible and makes a massive impact in an industry that is currently overwhelmingly carbon positive. By argument of historical trends to future trends replacing a carbon positive market with carbon neutrality at the end of the day is removing carbon from the air that would otherwise have ended up there.
Looks fine to me! https://github.com/dotnet/winforms/pulse

I don't know much about WPF, but it seems to be in an odd place with UWP. The fact there are no plans to port WPF MacOS/Linux, combined with the increasing emphasis on cross-platform... I'm curious where it goes from here.
Term limits have already been evaluated, as I posted in one of my previous comments.
That's the beauty of it, they don't even have to hand money back to the user.

The trick is to make the user perceive value in whatever digital artifact their are providing. In the eye of the user it then becomes the same as money.

Make the user invest their time into the game. Time is money right? Create fake rewards for arbitrary actions. Then when they are properly hooked, ramp up the difficulty level to a limit where just paying a bit of money would make the game as fun as it was during the evaluation phase.
I don't think the suggestions OP had were very extreme but even if they were civil disobedience is a very key part of democracy. The civil rights movement at the time was viewed by many as misbehavior and extremism. I think it changed our society for the better.
The way I like to spin it is: the paperclip maximizer that AI futurists worry about is already here, in the form of capitalism, and we're all part of it. It doesn't care about life; just numbers in bank accounts.

Xamarin.Forms is not Win Forms AFAIK.

Legacy or not, Win forms would be better then nothing. For that to happen GDI+ need to be ported to core and for WPF to happen DirectX needs to be ported to core. Its all into UWP now.

So I guess it will not happen soon. MS should reboot IMO.

Gotta love HN. For the sake of being Captain Obvious: people who like moving at fast speeds probably won't get the same enjoyment out of moving at slow speeds.

As far as clearing the head goes, I heard from many people that they get into a kind of flow state while their hands have something to do while experiencing the effect of this activity. For some, it's playing the piano, listening to the sound, and getting lost in the thought. For others, it's operating a vehicle and seeing the lights whiz by. Different strokes for different folks, you know.
Funny how this announcement comes the same week Oracle decided to kill Java EE. MS has always been good to it's developers and broadening the .NET platform this way makes one really consider to give it another look. Oracle in the other hand basically spreads FUD about their own platform, even though they seemingly don't even care about it anymore.
You're changing your oil way too frequently, unless you have a luxury car, in which case your vehicle's maintenance schedule is non-standard anyways and not really relevant to the discussion at hand.
> we have bought and drank the kool-aid that they can do it better and cheap

The few times I've done the analysis, cloud servers tend to cost about as much as self-hosting, when you factor in the cost of electricity.

There are reasons one may argue against cloud servers, on the basis of the internet's health, user freedom, etc. But for me and for many people they are at least both better and cheaper.
60 kWh capacity EV will get you (realisticaly) 200 miles.

A gallon of petrol - 40 miles (realistcally and using UK gallon).

According to Tesla their charging is 92% efficient so reduce that 200 to 184 miles.

Your process is 4.5 times less efficient than just putting that electricity into the EV? Is that right?

If so - and your process is carbon neutral (big if) - what's the point in a future where EVs dominate?
Frankly, I'm not a transportation financial expert. The flip side of that is that taxi and black car companies have operated in this space without exploiting their workers for decades prior to Uber and Lyft. I take that to mean that there is a way to do it.

Perhaps it will cost more, but if it raises the minimum lifestyle of my fellow humans (as opposed to lining investor's pockets), I'm personally OK with that.
From what I can see, the catch here is that the process of producing the gas is really slow.
It sounds like they're trying to improve this situation in this build by replacing and unifying it all around 5 and give it a clear path forward.

But yeah, it got a little crazy with divergent visions there.
If the ev car companies got their shit together, they could have used swappable battery packs.

You can wait around for 12h to charge, or you can turn in your cores and pay for 100% capacity batts now. And the swap would be quicker than standing around filling up a tank.

But no. Each ev is different and proprietary. The chargers aren't even the same.
> which should be sufficient enough to comply with GPL

this is an age-old debate. Some people say that it is e.g. legal to make (redistribute to precise) a GPL device driver for windows, and some argue that it is not, because the whole kernel should then be GPL.

Hi Rob,
Great idea! I have ton of questions:

1) If you hope to target low cost renewable power, will you be operating intermittently at peak production, or around the clock?

2) Does negative pricing of power factor in to your business model?

3) Do you think your process could economically compete in the market for grid energy storage? I so, how does the costs and efficiency compare to other methods?
Curiously, will there be limitations to where it can be used? Eg, imagine a `foos.iter().map(|f| f.await).collect::<Vec<_>>()`?

That seems crazy, think it'll be possible?
Whilst the data you are referring to is correct, so is the data on climate change and the various degrees of impact that humanity will have on the hospitality of our planet for our own human race.

In other words: some things are getting better, but others are getting so much worse that it might be for nothing.
Even if it is tech neologism, what would make it erroneous?
I feel like unusual language syntax isn't an issue, as long as the syntax is understandable/readable once the programmer learns the syntax.

It doesn't take too long to pick up and become comfortable with a new syntax in a programming language.

Imo, the reason some esoteric languages fail are not purely because their syntax is obscure but because even once you learn the syntax, it is still hard to understand the code (example: Brainfuck).

With Rust, once you learn the new syntax, you can understand Rust code with relatively little effort.
