I love those articles, and the lesson learned from them. But there is no automatic parallel in this situation, in fact the opposite here. The NTSB isn’t suggesting that Boeing model a single “average” pilot. They’re suggesting that Boeing test using many pilots who are not highly trained in test procedures. The “flaw of averages” problem is one of combining averages in multiple dimensions and assuming the result is still average. That flaw is absent when you test with multiple average people and categorize the results for each dimension separately.

Also, the outcome of the flaw of averages was to make various parts of the plane adjustable. In the case of an air emergency, your response time is not adjustable, you either solve it or you die. The NTSB’s suggestion is to understand how normal people react to ensure both ergonomics and training are adequate.

In any case, recommending that testing be done with people less knowledgeable than the experts, who don’t instantly know the right answers, can likely only result in better outcomes, not worse.
> If you want to be Christ-like, try not saying hateful things online AT ALL. I'm pretty sure Christ wouldn't have said, "Let he who is hateful be without reproach because it was funny at the time."

I left out the part of the story where he turns to the woman who was to have been stoned and says "go and sin no more". We must be responsible for our actions and try to do good, but none of us are really very good at that, and will always make mistakes. Because of that, it's also our responsibility to show grace and forgiveness to others. If it's impossible to leave behind foolish or terrible things we've said or done, we're all doomed.

For what it's worth, I didn't really want my original comment to be read as aimed at King or the reporter. I think the reporter (and his editor) was wrong to do what he did and got a taste of his own medicine. It would've been far better had the whole story remained untold.
Fortunately, true idiots don’t get licensed as airline transport pilots.
For the record, "burn it to the ground" is a very common figure of speech on the left

But if a right winger says exactly the same words they are to be taken literally? Are centrists allowed to say it?

There is no reason not to take it as a threat of arson, or hate speech if you prefer. Words have meanings. What’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, that’s another very common figure of speech.

>It's pretty funny how you imply I'm saying facebook is evil because it makes me feel good

Yup, I've found its a typical reaction from Facebook employees on this site to attack commenters and rationalize any time negative critiques are brought up, although the extreme defensiveness is pretty telling
Seems like there are no RHEL 8 packages yet, but I think this release fixes the build issues, so they'll probably happen soon.
I'm mostly surprised that, in reporting on it at all, he didn't also think to himself, "Oh crap, I've said some bad things too. I should clean that up first."
Ok Google – why are your product category codes sexist?
This is hilarious, do you have a reference?
I'm not saying it's acceptable, I'm just saying— the alternative is probably something more like the five-figure game console SDK license fees of the PS2 era. That kind of money pays for you to have a phone number to someone who is accountable for your success deploying product on the platform and helps you work through any issues you come up against. But obviously, it also locks out most smaller devs from participating. So it's arguable whether the current state of affairs is sustainable or a net improvement.
It is a big difference between just making moral claims (even about language and purity), expressing them and conforming to them perself on one side, and calling for outrage mob and deplatforming on the other side.

The first one is responsible moral position, the second one is witch hunt.
What I found most interesting is that it is launching with features where you can set how close other avatars can get to you, and you can go to your own sharded zone with no one else there and nothing else going on. I don't think I've seen a game launch with safe space features, but I think it's really interesting seeing the feature priorities that come out in a VR environment. They pointed these out on their "citizenship" page, so they have these features core to being a user.

Vue Router – Essential and Advanced Patterns
That was not the point though, Its release were widely known and this spec page isn't news. It is generally accepted on HN unless the last submission had little to no discussion, and there is nothing new related to the topic, we mark those as duplicate.
ya because the upper middle class and the wealthy are such a heterogeneous bunch with respect to what they're intolerant of (or really along any dimension)
Wow I thought your story sounded familiar, then I realized I follow you on Instagram! You have great content and a great story, but I didn't realize you had a book also.
Fair point. All I know is I want to fly one of those.

I contributed a few patches to ZFS on Linux about 8 years ago - at a time when it was still very much in its infancy and panic'd when you looked at it in the wrong way.

It's incredible how far they've come. We're using ZFS on Linux on about 120 servers at work and it's rock solid. Snapshots are a life saver in our day-to-day ops.
Hey folks!

I wrote a guide about the Vue router including all the essential concepts and more advanced patterns.

Example of the topics covered are:

- Routes Using props
- Nested routes
- Dynamic routing & Router param
- Route guards
- Wild card routes
- Router transitions
- Lazy-loading routes
- Navigation Resolution Flow

Any feedback is appreciated, cheers!

I blame the internet media for using easy click baity titles to get clicks. That's where the money is and one of the reasons we are seeing extremism happening on both sides.

The internet is allowing long format discussions that are great but the "legacy press" is struggling to adapt to this. They want to provide simplified summaries at a premium and on a time without news they have to make them up.
Wartime general vs. peacetime general is the classic example.
We dumped the "land of opportunity" precisely because of the political climate. We both were on H1B visas, and our green card is already filed (for both of us), but the whole anxiety drove us nuts and we just moved north of the border where they welcomed us with a red carpet with permanent residency sent at our doorstep! My friends were saying we were crazy, to leave a great job, house and all but I couldn't think of myself being a slave to the whims and fancies of some American politicians. We are so much happier here :). I used to think I want to move south once there is a immigration friendly government but the more I live here the less I want to move back.
So, again, this is not on some work-related mailing list, this is his personal website. That's not what we're discussing here.

I'm not endorsing or defending his views on any subject, but there appear to be a lot of false claims around the items directly related to his resignation.
I beat you with a little Ford, but couldn’t agree more. Everyone needs to turn off Facebook and take a deep breath. The sun will come out tomorrow.
It uses fans, however IIRC the fan curves are such that they only kick in if you render videos or do something else that 100% uses the CPU, and even then they are fairly quiet. And again, if you simply limit the clock speeds and voltages, you could disable the fans completely. (Or you could just disable the fans completely in the first place and let the automatic regulation take over.)

>Lots of closely spaced thin fins actually produce less cooling without good airflow.

That is true, however Noctua coolers tend to have a fairly big gap between fins, because they are designed for very low RPM use.

>In terms of sacrificing performance, let’s agree to avoid the absurd.

Not sure why you think it's absurd - the video just shows that there is no real minimum amount of cooling required anymore, at least with Intel CPUs. Obviously you're going to have to sacrifice some performance if you go passive only.

Although I'm not even sure anymore what we're even talking about. All consumer CPUs use the same sockets. All these coolers are available for every modern consumer or "pro-sumer" platform.
That reminds me of the Richard Nixon (or LBJ) recordings. There was literally years of conversation captured. It would be pretty easy to piece together some damaging utterances with years or recordings.
> It all stinks, but if you don’t follow the mainstream outrage machine you can live a happy life that doesn’t feel like near apocalypse every day.

Unfortunately this isn't the case for your peers. Queer folks, for instance, are suffering violence and a steady attack by their government. Latinos likewise. There are many people whose lives are massively impacted by politics, even if they never turn on a TV.

I don't think this reflects badly on you at all, until very recently it was really hard to have an account with restrictions somewhere in the middle of 100% free and 100% locked down. Even now it can be pretty confusing. I personally would put the blame on the app devs for the dark patterns and Apple for not vetting it properly
To first affirm what you're saying, this [1] is Einstein's revolutionary paper on relativity. While people without a mathematical background may have some difficulty following the technical components, what is said is plain enough that a capable high school graduate ought be able to, at least in general, follow the logic and ideas. Indeed even for Einstein it wasn't that far removed from high school. It was published when he was 26, and working as an assistant examiner in a patent office - having been unable to find any university that would take him on.

Perhaps you're saying as much, in between the lines, but I think there is a specific reason that modern scientific work has degraded in the way that it has. Most of it is rubbish, and the authors know that its rubbish. They don't want to publish rubbish, but finding new real and meaningful science is something incredibly difficult, yet they're expected to constantly publish - or perish. And so their motivation is not to inform society and help push scientific progress forward by a meaningful and relevant new discovery, but simply to publish something that can hit enough checkboxes to get published and keep moving on forward with.

And so in this regard grandiloquent language, excessive jargon/vernacular, and an obfuscation of the fundamental points under the guise of intelligence works as a phenomenal tool. As the countless hoaxes (such as the Sokal affair) have shown so long as you talk the talk and say something that is desired to be heard, you can get published even when what you submit is literally intentional nonsense. Sokal's hoax paper's [3] title was "Transgressing the Boundaries: Towards a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity.".

Sokal hypothesized he could get a paper that is literally nonsensical published in a leading journal if " (a) it sounded good and (b) it flattered the editors' ideological preconceptions." The paper lead with: "There are many natural scientists, and especially physicists, who continue to reject the notion that the disciplines concerned with social and cultural criticism can have anything to contribute, except perhaps peripherally, to their research. Still less are they receptive to the idea that the very foundations of their worldview must be revised or rebuilt in the light of such criticism. Rather, they cling to the dogma...". Yeah, he's already 99% published there.

Governments also have a number of additional regulatory functions in addition to raising funds. Things like seizing the proceeds of crime, preventing fraud etc. Monetary policy is more than just a money raising exercise. There can be good reasons for devaluing a currency.

Think for a moment about the implications of a world with a single currency mediated through a block-chain predicated on the idea than no-one can ever get more than 50% of the processing capacity. Think about Angola, China, Sweden and the US sharing that currency
Surely noticing yourself means you've objectivized yourself i.e. tokenized yourself as an abstraction?
It is to me. The alternative is implementing them ad-hoc in every function. (Or perhaps waiting another few decades for Swift to add them to its compiler.) Having used many languages at different points on the power spectrum, I remain unconvinced that there's any advantage to omitting abstraction capabilities and forcing programmers to deal with it.

Besides, both of those examples are essentially non-local jumps, and I'm not sure I'd describe them as "modern".

In a sense, Swift already allows diversity in control flow constructs, via closures and the trailing closure syntax. It's just somewhat awkward, and not flexible enough to implement, say, most of Lisp's ITERATE library. That's packed full of exactly the kinds of control flow constructs that I have to write out by hand in Swift every day.
Yup. The anti-trans campaign has been ramped up in the British press especially. The question of intemperate language is becoming important again - MPs, especially women, are receiving an increasing number of death threats. But the government is continuing to escalate the "surrender" and "betrayal" talk.
"Attacks, vulnerable, incite, hunted, forced."

This is exactly the kind of divisive, exaggerated language that is the problem.

Latino's are on the brink of becoming the majority ethnicity in America, enjoy record unemployment, are a key player in family values, and are increasingly represented at the top of the power structure in the US. Conflating the illegal immigration dispute with ethnicity causes the problem.

At no time in history have Trans had more rights and acceptance than now. It's not a simple issue to put it mildly and there's going to be a lot of back and forth on how the Trans community integrates before its a non-issue. Celebrate the success to-date and progress to come.

Thank you for the feedback! The categories are a loose grouping. In the future there should be a lot more columns so will be better ways to cluster and view groupings.
What is the exact unacceptable behaviour that you linked to? (Sorry, navigating twitter sucks, I honestly am unsure what you're talking about). From the second link I get two things - second-hand tale that "he gets touchy" (hasn't ever happened to her directly I guess? Or we would've known). And first-hand tale that he abused organizers by instructing them how to make tea; she assumes it's because organizers are women, but from what I know RMS would abuse organizers regardless of gender. He was weird and hard to live with, much less please. Yes I can believe that (it's something that Miguel de Icaza apparently complains about). But this is not a crime!
As a Latino I can say that you should not speak for me or others. I in no way feel “hunted” and neither do any of my friends or relatives. Please do not politicize my race.
Dark, a New Programming Language for ‘Deployless’ Deployments
It's actually the people in the small states whose votes are disproportionally powerful, since Wyoming voters elect the same number of senators as California voters and everyone's house district is within an order of magnitude size wise.

New Hampshire gets ridiculously outsized attention in election years, as a small state, early primary state, and a swing state. Truly the trifecta and probably the state where an individual's vote matters the most.

As for the last couple paragraphs, as someone who possesses an ideology I am disappointed I don't always get my way, and live in my utopia. But as someone who is aware others possess contrasting ideologies, I am glad I don't live in their dystopias.

We have a system that encourages compromises, including very ugly and unjust compromises, as a way to avoid one side winning entirely and establishing a totalitarian (or anarchist) state.

People seem to appreciate this less than they once did, but haven't done anything really to change it yet.
>Not sure why your comment is so aggressive and defensive.

Especially given Facebook's atrocious track record
Yes not sure what happened to clojure. The rise and fall of clojure is really intriguing.

Looks like everyone just went back to java.
I agree that in the real world, while it's vital to promote freedom, I can't agree fully with anarchist friends. Looking at history, we will always need some form of government or regulation, because human brokenness runs deep. Yet, where we can decentralized power, I think we should (and suspect you'd agree), as this minimized the damage abuse of authority (or regulatory capture) can cause.

In the hands of humans, liberty and justice are always proximate, not ultimate (though I think they can be real).
> Paying taxes is not politics. Being stressed about that is just the same as being stressed about any other personal administration task.

I think it's very much related because as soon as you talk or think about taxes you immediately correlate it to forcefully giving the government a large amount of your hard earned money.

And now it becomes political because you might not see directs benefits of that, so now you wonder why you pay so many hundreds of thousands of dollars of taxes over your life, but there's potholes in your neighborhood for years that could break a car's axle and thieves are breaking into houses with police who don't care enough to solve the mystery, all while you continue to pay some of the highest state tax in the US (percent wise).

And it snow balls from there. You begin to wonder why so much has to be spent on things you don't necessarily agree with and before you know it, you're ruminating on this stuff to the point where your heart is racing and you want to move to a private ungoverned island.

Thinking about stuff like that is super disappointing / demoralizing to me, so I try my best to avoid it as much as possible. I know avoiding bad things is usually terrible advice but this is one case where I'm more than happy to not play the game or only play the absolute bare minimum to enjoy my life the best I can.
Has right to be forgotten taken over?
Interestingly at least among Hispanics he had more support than Romney and some pols are predicting the admin will do better in the next cycle.

Truth is lots of Hispanics coming from dictatorial regimes identify more with Repubs whereas economic migrants identify with Dems more. They are not a monolithic political bloc.

FWIW I've hosted with these guys before and used their servers for scanning the internet, they did not allow that.
I heard something almost exactly like this addressed before: “They are a fantastic person. They’re almost the perfect person. How close to perfect? Shy by just two tweets.”

Witch hunts like this are part of the reason why countries think that the right to be forgotten might be a good thing for their citizens.
This is the best article on this I ever found:

https://ritholtz.com/2014/02/the-best-investment-advice-youl...

"Bogle’s closing advice was as simple and direct as that of his predecessors: those brokers and financial advisers hovering at the door are there for one reason and one reason only—to take your money through exorbitant fees and transaction costs, many of which will be hidden from your view. They are, as New York attorney general Eliot Spitzer described them, nothing more than “a giant fleecing machine.” Ignore them all and invest in an index fund. And it doesn’t have to be the Vanguard 500 Index, the indexed mutual fund that Bogle himself built into the largest in the world. Any passively managed index fund will do, because they’re all basically the same."
Hi, Thanks for checking out. Yeah, I am working on making it easier to understand.

BTW, you can signup and create a project with early access package for free. Then you will get access token to perform api requests for url to pdf and html to pdf.

You can also create templates. Which you can design using mustache (more templating engine coming soon). Then just pass context data to generate pdf via api.

Imagine you have build a mobile application or cloud function from which you want to create some sort of pdf. You can use templates to separate pdf design from you application code and just perform api requests to generate pdf. And if you want to modify your design, just change the template, your application code is untouched.

Thanks for your advice. Also, for now I have used bootstrap, ace editor, backend on django and the api backend in node js etc.

Your service looks awesome too.
The whole point of blockchain is for it to be not regulated or controlled by anyone - especially the government. Its control should be decentralized, its transaction history and owners private,and its ledger impossible to manipulate without destroying.

He who achieves this will be the currency of the future.

Isn't this ironic?

You're using the same language of the weapon's builder to try to accuse me of defending child molesters.

Why are people like you constantly at war with the world?

It's not my fault if she is a nobody (she really is) that builds weapons for the US military (she really does) and if she distorted RMS emails to make it look he was defending a rapist (he wasn't). It's not even my fault if RMS never molested anybody (he really didn't), never raped anybody (he really didn't), never hurt anybody (he really didn't) and never committed a crime (he really didn't).

Looks like I'm defending the reputation of a good man after all.

I'm really sorry you have a problem with reality, I swear.

What would you think if someone leaked this post[1] you wrote with the title "TOXIC WHITE PRIVILEGED MAN SAYS KIDS ARE TERRORISTS"?

Very cool! I love to see new array languages. Added. Thank you.
That's a stress and feel of terror caused by the media and not by the act of terror itself. Look at the crime statistic and look at the crimes reported by the media. I'm a black man, if i were to lisent to the media, than i would've to be extremly afraid of white people but if i look at the reality in form of the statistic then i know that i have a lot more reasons of people within my own race. Black people are 13% of the population in America and yet make out 50% of the murders and a big portion of that crime is black on black. Criminal Gangs are a much bigger problem than the basically non existant white nationalists.
Everyone needs to stop being so hypocritical. If we all started practicing what we preach more often it would go a long way. We need more objectivity and the ability to consider ideas that run contrary to our beliefs without feeling insecure.
