That is pretty blatant and frankly insulting (both for the pilots and the reader's intelligence). I actually did a double-take on this bit:

> His co-pilot was an Indonesian 10 years his elder who went by the single name Harvino[...]. Like thousands of new pilots now meeting the demands for crews — especially those in developing countries with rapid airline growth — his experience with flying was scripted, bounded by checklists and cockpit mandates and dependent on autopilots. He had some rote knowledge of cockpit procedures as handed down from the big manufacturers, but he was weak in an essential quality known as airmanship. Sadly, his captain turned out to be weak in it, too.

> [“Airmanship”'s] full meaning is difficult to convey. It includes a visceral sense of navigation, an operational understanding of weather and weather information, the ability to form mental maps of traffic flows, fluency in the nuance of radio communications and, especially, a deep appreciation for the interplay between energy, inertia and wings. Airplanes are living things. The best pilots do not sit in cockpits so much as strap them on.

Am I reading an article about airplanes or some pamphlet for essential oils or audiophile gear? "Crisp sound, deep basses, muddy mid-range, decent airmanship".

On another forum that'd make for nice copypasta:

It includes a visceral sense of Vim motions, an operational understanding of Virtual Memory mapping and paging information, the ability to form mental maps of callstacks, fluency in the nuance of various calling conventions and, especially, a deep appreciation for the interplay between energy, scripting engines and multithreading.

You will not run into an issue where you consume all the bandwidth, but you will also not wait long time to download a blueray movie. At that speed it is more about time.

75$ is usually the going rate where i live for about 300mbps. Fiber runs into low hundreds with comcast, with 1TB data cap. Competition (att) gives it for 70 without datacap, so that is what i did.
The phrase “sexual assault” consists of the adjective “sexual” modifying the noun “assault”, meaning “an assault of a sexual nature”. If I then substitute in the definition for “assault”, I get “a physical attack of a sexual nature”.

I’m not playing word games here, this is just how I understand the English language to work and sexual assault to be defined.

I understand that in certain legal settings, any sexual interaction with a minor is deemed a sexual assault due to the fact that a minor cannot legally give consent. But as mentioned above, the laws in the US dealing with sex crimes are actually quite complicated, and details of what actually occurred between Minsky and the victim are few and far between, so I don’t know if that term would apply in Minsky’s situation.

Maybe I am wrong or maybe we just have different understandings of the phrase (possible given the vagaries of the language). But I think accusing people of “playing word games” and trying to “move the goal posts” is not constructive. You’re assuming bad intent where it could just be something as simple as a difference in understanding.
Dynamic application security testing in Kubernetes with the DAST operator
Agreed, not great. I paid for Pocket Casts about a year ago and don't love that they're switching to subscriptions.

However, the parent commenter was complaining that the app wasn't free and that they don't deserve our money.

For pocket casts anyways, I'd have to say the money has been well spent. I personally enjoyed the app and will definitely look into whether a subscription makes sense assuming paid folks aren't grandfathered in.

I use Overcast, but I assume Pocketcast has the same or similar features.

One is server side crawl, so your phone doesn't have to go update its RSS feeds itself. I can get a push notification when a new episode is released.

Another great feature is smart speed, it trims silence in podcasts so you can listen a little bit faster.
Homicide is on a secular downward trend (despite the ever-increasing proliferation of firearms in the US). Mass shootings, while tragic, are black swan events and it does not make sense to dismantle a political foundation with long-term benefits to deter a marginal crime that could be done with a van.

A better response to mass shootings would be to desensationalize the media coverage, which since Columbine has been indulging the shooters' motives to shock society.

Incidentally though this whole thread is grossly off-topic and I expect it will be collapsed or detached.
Very few real advantages on a technical level.

Practically, the PG model has many syntactic advantages over the equivalence in expression power RDF+reification. (See excitement over RDF*, which is can be pure syntactic sugar)
Syntax is important for usability.

I don't believe that PG in Cypher or GQL will be significantly more expressive than SPARQL 1.1. And in any case are quite different from the tinkerpop model.

I believe it is essential for Neo4J as a growing company that they move beyond their own Cypher to something that is more defined and critically allows them to check a "we are a standard" box on big deals. OpenCypher has solid adoption but lacks coherence between implementations. i.e. same data same query, different result.

Still a more grounded GQL will allow Neo4j competitors to gain on them.

> Thats why police forces in America are heavily militarised.

Police forces are heavily militarized because of the bonkers amount of money thrown at them in the name of the "War on Drugs" and more recent "War on Terror". Note the connection between "war" and an increasingly militarized police force.
Maybe for some, but why almost all but a few "indie" phones are locked down in this way? I suspect it's more about cost as having a "motherboard" chip means increasing the BOM and pushes an already tight PCB layout to be tighter. Still, I really hope there is some way to incentivize manufacturers to do this.
> We don’t know how much their servers cost

Their blog posts say it's about $3500 without drives.

I didn't pull $200 out of nowhere. If you stuff a $3500 chassis with 60 $325 12TB drives (current amazon price) and you're getting 80% storage efficiency, that's exactly $40 per usable TB.

Add an extra 25% for safety, and then add a big $400 per month for power/data/space and replacing the one-ish drive per year that fails. Assume you throw the entire thing in the garbage after five years. These are pretty pessimistic numbers, but it's still only $92 per TB per 5 years. With three accounts that's $460 dollars of direct costs on a revenue of $900.

To be profitable on 5TB in one account is much trickier. It depends on the hosting costs far more than the hardware costs, and those are hard to guess. If they're over $150, it might be impossible to break even on direct costs, even given more than five years.
Why does it matter? Because populous cities have to subsidize sparsely populated ones, and that is why prices are high?
Seems similar to type traits in Rust. I skimmed through "Category Theory for Programmers" and it's mentioned this thing is mainly about composition. Composing functions? So you've got a trait (say Functor) that is meant for functions. You know something about functions that have this trait, so you can exploit that knowledge to create compositions of those functions. So then in theory you can write algorithms with as input functions implementing some trait? I'm trying to get the 'aha' moment here, I guess then that there exist many useful such algorithms? Or did I just completely miss the mark? :)

I don't think this is true, do notation (see https://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/haskell2010/haskellch3....) specifically depends on the Monad typeclass and exists as syntactic sugar for monadic operators:

Thanks for the reminder to cancel the Sky Ticket subscription. I feel you. The most frustrating thing are their SmartTV and AppleTV apps. If you watched an episode or a movie you can't start it again because it will start, jump to the end and will either recommend to start the next episode (in the case of a show) or do nothing (in case of a movie).

You have to "reset" the content in you iOS app and can then watch it on your other devices. Sky is cancer.
An arbitrary number and not all costs misses the point that some costs scale roughly proportionally while others scale less than proportionally. Meaning tuition per student should definitely not increase with more students, there's actually more possibility for savings due to scale.

Not just a trend now, it has been a pattern for many years: if you worked in/with/for many office environments you'll be exposed to a great many "database" uses of Excel & similar and you will find features specific to such uses in spreadsheet products. Some businesses, including large investment banks, would completely grind to a halt if Excel stopped working!

If you can't get municipal fiber where you live in Longmont (I'm a resident; hi!), you should most likely be complaining to your landlord, not the city. If you're not sure, call up Longmont Power & Communications and ask them what's up.

There are a few apartment complexes around Longmont that have resisted integration with the city's fiber network. My understanding is that the city has negotiated with each of them over the installation of fiber on their premises and that some of those negotiations didn't succeed, e.g. the apartment complex owners wanted to own and control the fiber that the city would pay to install.

Golden words
Yes, curricula tend to focus on writing code over reading code, which is a shame. Looking at existing code, extending it, refactoring it, etc would ideally be something that students do as much as writing things from scratch.
It could just be locked in for existing customers, but rise for new customers. Over time, people move or die, so it shouldn't be much of an issue.
Would you care to mention the name of the company? I, and probably an insignificant handful of other unsuitable candidates, would likely benefit from never applying to work there. And I wouldn't want to waste your time, of course. Cyberstalking and doxxing sounds like a lot of work, especially if it's a rejection-only signal.

Interviewing and hiring is very important work, and your company is depending on you for its future. Six people in one week is huge. The people you hire are lucky to work at a place that has so few problems finding talent.

I wonder, though... Do you think that the nature of your work role has created a bias towards the recruiters and interviewers over the interests of the candidates? Or that it might be an abuse of your hiring authority to threaten a pseudoanonymous person on the internet with a permanent, pre-emptive no-hire status, over comments that are not obviously offensive, whose content is only objectionable due to disagreeing with something you said? As someone who hires, do you feel this is appropriate?

Yes, the Senate gives states equal representation.

However, the Senate isn't "like" the Electoral College. The Senate is what makes Congress like the EC...or vice versa.

So if you believe the US isn't a collection of united states, which is why the senate exists and why the EC exists, then it is only rational to argue against both intuitions.
Not trying to be pedantic, I’m still somewhat confused when I read “america” when referring to the United States of America. Reason being, everywhere outside of the US, we learn that America is the continent. People who are much less into reading forums in English, or with a high percentage of US readers, can get even more confused, specially when the context is as vague as in this specific response.
Or what do you do when you can't pay your rent/mortgage because the bank hasn't returned your money yet. All that convincing doesn't happen instantly.
I'd say many never stopped.. to feel legit they maybe bought netflix and hulu, but still pirated HBO or network tv. I can see people maybe getting Netflix and Disney+ and maybe Apple ...and then streaming from tv show sites anything they're missing....

They need to have a bundled app like $60 gets you Amazon, Netflix, Disney, Apple, HBO, and Sling/Philo ...

Make it so each provider can sell the bundle and they get 30% more of the total sale...

If I had money and connections I'd love to start this startup... If you only took 6% to make it lucrative for the companies involved, then split it x ways with the bundled providers

Better yet philo or sling should do this since they already have the live tv parts, it would be a natural replacement for Cable. Or they could all just join forces and create a unified platform.

Added bonus is there's only one bill.

> it seems that there's one consistent criterion for something being a city: it must have self-rule and a certain amount of government structure.

What do you mean by self-rule? Singapore is autonomous, but that's definitely not the norm for cities. Almost all of them belong to larger states.

No US city has self-rule even at the level below the federal government. Washington, DC comes closest, but it is technically ruled directly by the federal government (in a manner that is not true for cities that belong to states). China has four "province-level" cities, but is generally accepted to have many more than four cities.

Same thing for me. Went from 150 down to 175 down, upload unchanged. I’m only paying $40, though, so I’m not sure I’d upgrade to $60 fiber if I had the option. Might be worth doing on principle, considering how spotty the connection can be sometimes.

This statement makes me really curious to understand your point of view: From your perspective, is this what HK people in general (not just the protesters) want? When you say progress, progress for whom, and toward what end? What is the goal of integrating HK into China, or what is the expected benefit for the Chinese people and for Hong Kong people? I am not from China or HK, so I don't really have a great understanding of what people in either place think.

The very first item on Affinity Designer's feature list [1] is "Pan and zoom at 60fps". You don't generally accomplish this by accident. They apparently wrote the engine from scratch to use hardware acceleration, and be usable on an iPad with a very small amount of available RAM [2].

There's no reason blur, in particular, must necessarily be slow. Everybody (and their phone) has a GPU that's more than fast enough to do that in real-time. I wonder if the (cross-platform) interfaces that Inkscape are using on macOS aren't hardware accelerated. Or if it's using some syscall which is cheap on some platforms and expensive on others.

I haven't done any testing but I agree that Inkscape feels much slower than Affinity Designer.

Democracy, if you don't like it vote for people against it and if it wins still that's the breaks sometimes. Some things work better with collective action than private enterprise especially things that require large build outs of infrastructure that you don't want duplicated: eg roads, you're paying to maintain a lot of roads you never drive on because their existence benefits everyone.
