“Aviation experts say airliners need to lift off the ground with enough runway left to abort a takeoff“

That’s not accurate. While the aircraft shouldn’t be nearly hitting the end of the runway on takeoff it’s normal for larger jets to hit a point before takeoff where they couldn’t stop before the end of the runway.

Pilots call that point V1 during the takeoff roll, which means whatever happens you need to take off. If one of the engines blows up, you still take off. When V1 is called on takeoff standard procedure is to take your hands off the throttle controls since a ground abort is no longer available as an option.

The pre-takeoff briefing usually includes something like the captain saying if there are any problems after V1 we’ll take the problem into the air with us and troubleshoot from there.

Err... anyone can defend him. The fact that RMS did defend him is prima facie evidence that he was able to defend him.

Now, most people would mount a defense along the lines of "I don't believe Minsky would have sex with trafficked girls". RMS, always with the innovative methods, decided "Maybe it's not so bad to have sex with trafficked underage girls".

But, like it or not, he was clearly capable of making that defense. So I don't know where "can't defend" is coming from.

Erm... I didn't suggest that you did? I suggested that the parent comment about sleeping on things may have been directed at the blog writer.

> Everyone involved in open source knew about Stallman. Whether or not we think his bad behavior outweighs his personal contributions depends largely on if our name is “Richard Stallman”.

This here, it reads as though you are asserting that pretty much only Richard Stallman himself thinks his personal contributions outweigh his behaviour, and pretty much everyone else in open source feels the opposite. Are you really making this bold of an assertion?
There's a difference between saying it's OK to flee repression, which I don't think anyone is disputing, and saying that given the option to flee, it's immoral to instead stay and practice civil disobedience, which was the claim made up thread.

As someone who has read a lot of resumes, I really like this! It gets to the core points quickly.

My only suggestion would be to put the names of the companies in italic or differentiate it in some way.

When I read a resume, the very first thing I do is scan the name of the companies you've worked at to see if I recognize any of them as either a place known for great hires or somewhere I've actually worked. I had to go down to your "normal resume" to do that easily.

Edit to clarify: I don't ever cut anyone because of where they worked or went to school. I'm only looking for a signal in the noise or some common experience for us to discuss.

Is someone who follows the herd or is afraid to state an unpopular opinion on a contentious topic your idea of a leader? I don't think so, in fact I think they're the exact opposite. This world needs people who are willing to go to the mat for their contentious ideas, regardless of how misguided they may appear to be so long as there's evidence of reasoning. Otherwise how do we progress? A lot of today's mainstream thought was once contentious, even illegal. I really don't understand this attitude at all.
Right now I have a spotify song display alongside default apple controls. But afaik there isn't the ability to allocate a bit of the touchbar to BTT, Apple default controls, and app specific context controls. BTT takes over most of the bar, but then I lose the ability to easily use pycharm debugging controls for example.

I'm looking for some feedback on this project, as it provides features not found in rsync snapshots, Borg/Attic, Restic, and others. Only thing currently missing is encryption, however you can use Luks encryption on the target, and encryption in flight is handled by ssh.

Excessive emojii use is also becoming a bit of a warning sign for me as well. That, and calculators aren't even typically that useful for calculus. They're fine for solving once you've finished with the calculus, but some knowledge of at least the mechanics & how to setup to find the desired solution is normally necessary.

The analogy might work for one of those grammar checkers, where you feed it raw input and it automagically generates the desired output. And even better, normally one has to run a sanity check on calculated results as well, which is equivalent to proofreading the results from a grammar checker.

It isn't. My morality is not yours, yours is not mine. Additionally, I don't care if you project your worldviews onto me, it was a recommendation, which it seems you failed to follow. You do you.
It also means more effort for people who have to validate the changes downstream for potential problems - e.g. extension developers or package maintainers.

A criminal charge has no effect as he can't actually be brought back for trial and can't be tried in his absence.

If you sue someone, you can serve their intermediaries (his bank or publisher etc). So then the case can proceed. By getting a judgement they can seize US book revenues.

Its a pretty cheap move imho but I think that's the logic: if you can't do something at least look like you're doing something.
> it's arguable that this has to be done through a Federal framework, and not at the State level.

That doesn't follow. I'm not a 10th amendment fanatic and I think the commerce clause has been hugely important, but even I have a problem with the inversion that anything that can be regulated by the federal government must be regulated only by the federal government :)

The Clean Air Act is statute, and by statute allowed for the California waivers. There's no constitutional argument that shouldn't be allowed.
This may actually be good news. Somebody might have determined that it's not worth the political cost to prosecute him publicly, so they'll press civil charges, slowly make the criminal stuff go away, then it becomes a "normal" lawsuit instead of such a hot potato. (I am freely speculating here)
Call it assimilation if you want. My point is that it's what all governments will do under the situation. The fact that China did not push through national education forcibly shows that it's willing to forgo even that minimum amount of "assimilation". It has actually been a model of hands-off administration.

EDIT: Actually do not call it assimilation. Learning Mandarin as a shared language does not mean eradicating Cantonese, and most Hongkongers are ethnic Chinese and share much of the same culture, there's nothing to assimilate.

Yes, more lobbying will help, and that's why I donate to the EFF, but there is obviously a very persistent and difficult problem which never goes away.

I'm not really interested in "external magic". The core structure is wrong. We should create a new paradigm that works for the citizens by default.
To summarize: some banks were short dollars. Instead of forcing those banks to compete for more deposits (offer interest rates above inflation), the fed stepped in and conjured a bunch of new money into existence. By doing so, banks were able to meet their obligation without needing to attract new deposits - thereby robbing people who worked for their dollars from receiving higher interest rates.
We should strive to make things easier. If open source packages can make software easier to write, that's a good thing and devalued labour is a sign that the labour is easier.

The tech here isn't great, Unity is sort of the banner of a decent cross-platform engine for building on top of but it has it's issues... for a game like this my guess is that the graphical rendering is very closely coupled with the game logic in an effort to save cycles. Your game being unperformant out the gate is a death sentence, your game being only available on windows means <1% of your market is disappointed.

I wish games had better cross platform support, but the motivation just isn't there monetarily and these guys tend to be financially strained as is.
Enjoying to solve problems, yes. And curiosity too! Both are great motivators.

But selflessness? That's the lie we tell ourselves when the true driver is something else, like narcissism.

It's not a bad lie. The outcome is pretty much the same while it lasts. But altruism is not a reliable motivator, and certainly not a requirement for volunteer work. A requirement is to have basic human needs met with some minimal security. Like, not having to judge everything you do by how much money it will earn you.
Python vs. C++: Selecting the Right Tool for the Job – Real Python
Thanks for pointing this out. The quoted statement is only true if "benefit" is restricted to meaning "financial benefit." In whatever people do, not just in software, most of the financial benefit goes to profit-making companies because everything they do is directed toward making profits. But what about the unquantifiable benefits that come from improving people's lives?

How would you weigh the benefits of millions of people using and loving a piece of software, even if no profits are generated? What if they are able to free up time which they use to improve their communities, spend more time with their friends and family, maybe even make money for themselves?

I'm a bit underwhelmed:

Input: My dog is the happiest one to see me when I get home. But sometimes my daughter lets a small grin peep through.

Continuation: When I was a teenager I was very excited to go to college. I had a lot of fun. I did a great internship. I went on a nice, happy, happy trip. But one thing that really got me excited was to do my first year in a new school . I thought, Wow, I could get a real education.

It seems entirely unrelated to the input. Maybe it's because I write in a way that is atypical for the training set?

Anyone else finding similar?
>He's saying it is "morally absurd" to have such a law:

>> I think it is morally absurd to define "rape" in a way that depends on minor details such as which country it was in or whether the victim was 18 years old or 17.

That's not the impression I got when reading that quote. I don't think when he says "define rape", he was talking about the legal point of view.
>On the other hand, driving the value of their stock to zero would be a very effective deterrent against future bad behavior.

Perfect!

Then, we can try killing people who commit heinous crimes, or at the very least lock them up for the duration of their lives. When you make a mistake, you and everyone around you should pay, regardless of their involvement or actual harm done to others. Dearly. Why has no one thought of this? I have no worries, because me and the work I do are without flaws. Sounds like Utopia.
Oh yeah, the Chinese government is the model of restraint.

Give me a break dude. Are you free to criticize your government or not? I freely criticize mine, and you should do the same.
That distinction isn't drawn in the 4th Amendment itself. It comes from from 39 CFR § 233.3, which defines the rules and procedures for searching mail ("mail covers"). There, a distinction is drawn between

(3)Sealed mail is mail that under postal laws and regulations is included within a class of mail maintained by the Postal Service for the transmission of letters sealed against inspection...

and

(4)Unsealed mail is mail that under postal laws or regulations is not included within a class of mail maintained by the Postal Service for the transmission of letters sealed against inspection....

https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/39/233.3

I would guess the justification is that 1) the potential for mischief is much lower with a letter vs. an item and 2) the unsealed categories are usually cheaper (periodicals, etc) and the Post Office should be able to verify that the mailed item really qualifies for the lower rate.
Having started to code during the 80's, what was so horrible about the 90's?

I had access to Amiga and PC, bough my software tools that I actually cared about (with student discount), and did some programming gigs already before getting into university.

Back then, making a living from selling developer tools still looked like a possible way of life.
> I don’t really like these quick release cycles. When things get released every year or half year I have the time to read about the changes

Use ESR, or only read release notes every 6 months.

Short release cycles also mean much shorter release notes. The average FF changelog has a dozen minor items or so, it takes 5mn to go through it.
I'm a bit sad that this is limited to a 2-D plane, but it's interesting to see the focus in this game and compare it to something like space engineers where the components you're placing is still vital, but their location is entirely an aesthetic choice.

It's specifically saddening because we're all so trained to think about these problems and tend to suck at considering them in higher dimensions, and getting better at things like that is fun and helps promote good thinking skills.

Yup. My wife worked in commercial real estate (contracts and billing, before the crash in that biz) and she surmised exactly the same thing.

I think most real estate folks learned their lessons in the dot-com bust. Lot's of folks were making stupid office space deals with tech companies in return for warrants, etc., which ended up being worth less than nothing.

There is also the option of ignoring it (piracy vs IP laws) and subverting it (many communities refuse to work with cops and handle justice themselves).

These are as illegal as civil disobedience (refusing to work with cops might be more legal in some countries). As to if they are more or less moral... what moral framework are we using to judge?
> aren't worth enough individually to charge for.

The downside I see is that leads to a lot of “just good enough” solutions out there. There are things like the Spring “framework” that kind of sort of almost do something useful but add conceptual overhead and leaning time and subtract troubleshoot-ability in exchange for not much, but enough that the people in charge push you to use it since it’s free anyway. On the one hand, if not for open source, Unix, vi, grep, awk, sed, lex, yacc and bash would all be long dead and buried now - there was a time before I came across Linux that I was starting to try to implement all of these myself in DOS because they were so useful and there was no available equivalent. On the other hand, if not for open source, I wonder if we ever would have gotten PHP or Java or a lot of the monstrosities that hang off of them like Zend and Hibernate.

AMD EPYC 7302 / 7402 / 7502 / 7742 Linux Performance Benchmarks Review
Consider the case of an investor, Alice, willing to invest in fossil fuel stocks, who is currently sitting on $100 cash and looking for a profitable investment.

Last year the fossil fuel company X was trading at $10 / share, largely based on a valuation from discounted cash flows that would be returned to the investor (forecast dividends), giving a net present value of buying and holding the stock of $10 / share assuming that investors require a 10% discount rate when calculating NPV.

Suppose this year there is no change in the fundamentals of the company -- the business is exactly the same -- but nearly all investors are not willing to hold shares in X for moral/ethical reasons, so many former investors have sold, and there is reduced demand to buy.

So now the quoted market price of one share of X is $1 / share, but the fundamental valuation of X based on forecast future dividends is still $10 / share, still using the same discount rate.

Alice can now spend $100 to buy and hold 100 shares in X, which she values as being worth $1000 in net present value due to forecast returns from dividends by holding the stock and never selling it.

Suppose Bob is another investor who is willing to invest in fossil fuel stocks, but had invested his $100 into 10 shares of company X at last year's price of $10 / share. This year the quoted market price of Bob's 10 shares is $10 . Bob will incur a 90% loss in capital if he sells at the current market price. But if he refuses to sell and holds, he will still achieve a fair return from dividends of holding the stock. If Bob has spare cash he can, like Alice, buy additional shares of X at the new low price.

Fossil fuel divestment is basically subsidy for those who don't care. Divestment causes stock price drop and it increases ROI for those who invest into the company.

It's good.

This is how Dr.Racket and Khan Academy pretty much teaches programming. But note that for a brain which is not naturally inclined towards programming (and numbers), the examples increasingly get very complicated and fast. I say this as a non-programmer who has spent a lot of time trying to learn programming on the side. I have eventually concluded that all these "teaching beginners programming efforts" lack the real world middle-ware modules, where one learns to practically program with database etc, for useful applications.

In any case, the methods presented here, are good, but not necessarily pedagogically perfect.
