Not only that, try to switch it on and off a couple of times. You'll see that when the blue light is ON after having used the blue filter for like a couple of seconds, you'll feel like someone punching your eyes!

It's almost like having a lamp in your face all the time in the night - of course you can't sleep! We just got used to it. Now thankfully someone has implemented such filters.
Yes, I totally agree.

You have correctly identified the true source of much 'professional' outrage at what Boeing has done here. The MCAS system was, at its core, about saving money.

Boeing thought it could retain the same type rating with an automated system that would make the aircraft fly the same.

It is an almost unforgivable and detestable course of action.

Animate really isn't as simple to use as Flash is, and bluntly in the modern Era the CC suite is too expensive to get those young users.

I wonder if Affinity will have a go at this in the long run.

Burning fuel to fill the gaps is technically possible; I'd like to see an analysis of costs though. Building and maintaining those plans is expensive even when you don't use them. Who is going to pay for those expenses?
What they also do is that they sell a quality product for 1-2 years, get good reviews and then switch to inferior materials.

Luckily the review system can catch this, as long as you look at recent reviews and the seller isn't buying any new reviews.
Cataclysmic events in online games are always a great watch.

One of the most memorable ones in recent history for me was in Final Fantasy XIV. The original release of the game met with negative reviews, so Square Enix decided to re-release it with fixes and a new story arc. I never played it, but the video of the last few seconds on that server before transitioning to the update is great.

I don't play Fortnite, but the seasonal release cycle seems to work nicely for games like this. It provides new content regularly, and means that you get to see actual change in a game, rather than feature after feature until the game is a bloated mess.

Note the section "In flight test, MCAS changes"

I've posted the link in my other comment too.

The initial introduction of MCAS was motivated by "type rating" issues. The later changes were the real safety issues. The later were activated during the crashes.

But the certification rules for type rating are also there to provide safety, and not some crazy bureaucracy decision. It was designed to prevent the pilots flying the planes for which they aren't trained. Boeing just lied about what MAX is as it was selling it and as it preformed the certification.

So the narration that implies the plane was "inherently" safe is just wrong. It could have been in completely useless purely technical terms "stable" (as ryanlol in the other comment writes that that apparently technically means only "longitudinal static stability") but that is just a red herring in the whole context.
Good to see the mask (and gloves) are finally coming off. No

Wow, yeah so many dark patterns in kids games, lots of games that look cool and then you install them and have to watch a half minute ad for another video game every time you die. I remember renting NES games over the weekends and so I had to choose between a limited number of choices. The seemingly infinite number of games that exist now via the android play store is crazy but most of them are completely bad and would never get approved from any curatorial perspective yet they make money for the platform and the developer (evidently).
Things to Read This Week – 14th Oct 2019 – That’s a Bug
Ender is fine and not comparable to previous chinese printers like the Anet series. Also the merlin firmware has been made more robust against risk of fire through some software mitigations (measuring extruder heat etc).
It might be a moral dilemma, but mostly it's basic risk mitigation, when you have to work for a company or agency doing illegal or unconstitutional things. In many cases the company will throw you under the bus.

Because a system is secure as long as somebody doesn't break it. If tomorrow someone comes with an algorithm that can factor a prime number in polynomial time RSA will be useless basically, but since then we consider it secure.

Beside that, all these vulnerabilities comes from optimizations done by the CPU. The only reliable way to avoid them is not to have the optimizations to start with, and that is what mitigations do.

It's the choice of the user to choose if he wants or not the mitigations, I personally have `mitigations=off` on my machines because I think that the security threat is not so big for my workflow.
>Anybody who claims it's not "unstable" does misdirection of clinging to the technicalities of wording of the specific claim

In the context of aviation "stable" and "unstable" almost always refer to longitudinal static stability. Sure, it's a technicality but this is a term of art even beginner pilots should be quite familiar with.

>while still being the death trap under non-average conditions

Which has precisely nothing to do with stability, but with the plane deciding to fly into the ground.

I guess this varies from person to person. Maybe it is a problem if you have trouble sleeping anyway, but as far as I'm concerned, I guess the blue light just keeps me awake as long as I need to finish whatever I'm doing, after that I usually have no trouble at all going to sleep. When using a blue-light-reduced "night mode" however, I find I can barely keep my eyes open...

Amen. This has big implications for artificial intelligence. It's one of the reasons why I prefer to think about building cybernetic systems than AI.. cybernetics is classically all about systems in ecosystems, whereas AI perpetuates the illusion of autonomy.

While this doesn't market well, it is a better tool for thinking. Not creating artificial intelligence, but contributing to smart systems.
I'm unable to read the article at the moment, but I certainly agree with the title. I recently had to hire 4 new developers for my team, and I found 4 I'm really happy with, but the one I'm most happy with is the one I hired primary because he was very opinionated, and now after two weeks, he's already having a major positive impact on our way of working.

By contrast, the two developers with the most experience on paper are very timid, and it's hard to get a straight answer out of them. It's probably a cultural issue. Which makes it extra annoying, because in many situation, it's valuable to have opinions from all cultures represented, and not just the most direct cultures.
What's even sadder is that a good portion of world's governments see this as an ideal they need to follow. China's online surveillance, censorship, "perfect citizen" scoring, and public facial recognition systems are seen as something they need to replicate, and the sooner the better, preferably.

The US government came up with the idea for "Total Information Awareness" almost 2 decades ago, and it's been trying to achieve that goal since then, even though it's been denying that the program exists, in public. The UK has also been trying to achieve the same with Snooper's Charter and the Great British Firewall.

If you've been paying attention over the past 6-8 years, you should've noticed that so-called democratic countries like the US, UK, Australia, and others, have also stopped trying to hold China accountable for "human rights abuses" in public. That's been a huge red flag for me that these governments aren't heading in a good, positive direction for humanity.

Only very recently the US has started mentioning China abuses superficially, but only in the context of trade war, and as another reason to get everyone to "hate China" - but I don't feel they mean it and are doing it because they actually think those abuses are bad. It's just another tactic to manipulate the masses to accomplish a larger objective.
This is really not a good argument.

OP ran into a random edge case bug, and, being a power user, decided to do what power users do: tinker and google.

What OP could have done, which you most definitely could not do in 2000 with Linux, is go to an Apple store and have them try and sort it out for you. Ehile they might not succeed, I am willing to bet they could at least get some kind of solution to work.

Also, Apple is nothing like Linux in 2000. My mother can use OS X really easily. My mother food never in a million years use Linux in the year 2000. This is a stupid article written by a bitter user who found a random bug.

The Supreme Court has not closed the door the possibility yet of them being immediately granted the so-called penitentiary third degree, which would allow them to live in semi-freedom (spend only nights in prison from Monday to Thursday) since the get-go. And like you're saying, in all likelihood it won't even be close to 13 years of that.
>I do leave the batteries in. Is it dangerous? I read some time ago that it is not dangerous, but the capacity of the battery drops significantly, I don't care about capacity, and safe shutdowns are important to me.

It's not necessarily dangerous but lithium batteries have a chance to fail and in very rare cases even explode, making them a potential fire hazard. I'm not an expert, maybe someone else can expand on this.
If I were to run an old laptop of unknown provenance with a LiIon battery 24/7 completely unattended I'd at least want to make sure that it is on a non-flammable surface without any flammable items nearby.

>In the past I used an HP DL380 Gen. 7 (which I still own, and wouldn't mind selling as I don't use it), but I had to find a solution for the noise. And power consumption was at around 18EUR for my EUR/kWh.

Yes, I am surprised how many people leave power consumption out of the equation. These days you can rent a decent VPS for the power cost of an old refurb server alone.
I also use a no-knead technique -- even simpler than the one described in that NYT article -- and it's our staple 'basic bread' in the house. The interesting thing I've found is that the shelf-life is generally better than any store-bought bread I've ever had, which is weird and inexplicable to me, since I'm pretty sure those factory-made breads are stuffed with preservatives.
That exact scam has happened to people I know. I don't think anyone actually fell for it, though -- the fake distress call wasn't very convincing. It's easy to imagine how it could have been.
I agree. While I like to automate away things both for saving time and consistent results, we have a tendency to throw away good old thinking or the window. Have I covered everything? Did I check all the outputs? What am I missing? What step that I did last time have I missed this time?

Sometimes it feels like we're throwing out good old proper thinking and proper work in order to blame automation, that the results is a natural outcome of all the complexity or that we're pressed for time. Sometimes it's just a matter of taking responsibility and doing a good job.

I have an i7 3770k, overclocked to 4.4Ghz, it runs with no problem every workflow I need.

Newer processors have more cores for sure, but if we look at single-core performance there isn't so much difference, and my almost 8 years old overclocked i7 runs probably faster for a single threaded application than a new 16 core Ryzen.

Of course if we talk about multi threaded workflows a newer CPU is better.

I really want to be a proponent of nuclear, but I don't see how any country can guarantee political stability for 100+ years. Here in South Africa, the state-owned Eskom power utility can't even keep our coal plants running for 12 months at a time. With re-election every 4 years and rampant corruption, it feels like we'll need a new set of laws to govern nuclear power that operates on longer time scales.

Not diversity of colour by itself maybe, but diversity of culture, and diversity of experience, are rather vital if you want multiple viewpoints and experiences to be represented. But there are more viewpoints than just cultural ones; no culture is completely homogenous in opinion.

>Software is one of those spaces where there is an incredible amount of capital invested in making things easy for the lowest common denominator.

This is true for _education_, however the design of the tooling itself, as well as the purely code-based interface with which we like to rely on (no WYSIWYG or visual creative tools) is what makes it creatively difficult

Compare the experience of making some HTML5 canvas game to making a song in modern day DAWs. In the latter there has been so much investment into improving the workflow and the quality of the software to make the creative experience smoother. In programming, almost no effort is put into the creative experience, outside of niche fantasy terminals (e.g. PICO-8)
Because it involves inherently manual processes.
Time Series Compliance and Auditability
No. 737 MAX behaves differently from 737 NG under certain conditions. MCAS makes it behave as 737 NG under those conditions. This makes it so that 737 NG pilots can fly 737 MAX without additional, and expensive, training. This is what they mean when they say MAX has the sam type rating. There is nothing inherently unstable about 737 MAX. It's not as if it does not fly without MCAS.

Problem with MCAS, as implemented on MAX, is that it has too much authority and can prevent pilots from maintaining controlled flight under certain conditions such as if feed wrong input from angle of attack sensor.

There are aircraft that are aerodynamically unstable and require flight control systems to maintain controlled flight but they are not used in civil air transport.

I'm curious which phrase you find is a better expression of this dev's communication:

What's wrong with just complaining as normal if this happens?

I've ordered literally hundreds of books and with the two that had issues, they immediately dispatched another and in one case told me I needn't return the original.

It's not hard to put in this type of complaint (unlike some where they do put barriers in the way) and it avoids any exaggerated need to "police" Amazon, you can just get on with life with a minor blip in the overall delivery time of the proper (non-fake) product.
Sorry to hijack, but I have been curious about this for a while and have not been able to find any references from anyone working on the climate models or who has studied the forecasting methodology in detail.

If in 50 years, we find out that the predictions made by our models had been wrong (either the measures we take to reduce CO2 don't lead to the results we expected, or the warming we see is outside of the expected ranges) - in the post-mortem of the models, what would we likely say had gone wrong?
AND it must always be said in the same, the pilots were not trained in what to do. (Because not training pilots is cheaper than training them.)
> The convention of combining angle brackets with special characters was popularized by PHP.

PHP makes use of the <? ?> notation which lends itself to good integration with text editors, since this is the canonical XML syntax specifically reserved for processing instructions.

In this context, because it's not PHP-specific, there would be nothing wrong with using <? ?> for your own language or preprocessor, and I'd rather prefer it for the additional reason that it's easier to find and type a question mark on many kayboard layouts. If I ever attempt to make a web language again, that's what I'd probably stick with.

That being said, whatever works for you. It's certainly better than what I came up with in the late nineties when I made my first CGI-based HTML preprocessor... I used to encase everything in $ signs, which looked extremely messy and entertained our web designers to no end because they assumed I was thinking about money a lot. However, at the time, that notation did have some advantages because web layout editors had a lesser chance of destroying it as compared to anything weird with angle brackets :D

This is pretty old technology. Right now it's cheaper to build normal PV and rely on e.g. gas peakers. Eventually we'll want to deploy this, unless batteries become a lot cheaper.
> With that said it's all just petty semantics

Ordinarily I would agree with you, but this issue of stability is clouding the truly detestable course of action Boeing took.

Boeing was trying to save money. They wanted to keep the same type rating, so they added MCAS to an inherently stable and flyable aircraft for purposes of retaining the same type rating.

The system they added included optional safety measures that airlines had to pay more to install [0]. Boeing new that MCAS would be safer with these features and charged more for them!

The true outrage here should be directed at this underlying cause and the erroneous discussion over stability should be put by the wayside.

This will damage the government as much as it damages the citizens.

It's now going to be easier than ever to intercept traffic in China. It plays into the hands of foreign intelligence agencies.
Boring for the passenger doesn’t mean boring for the pilot. A bus driver has to drive the bus, it’s routine yet never the same thing, their day goes by pretty fast. Compare to someone watching over an automated train...it’s just time they spend twiddling their thumbs, time crawls, they get really bored.

Flying is becoming less like flying a bus and more like supervising an automated train, and that is what is dangerous. When something unusual happens, the pilots are surprised and unable to adjust quickly, because unusual isn’t usual.

Of course, if unusual happens all the time, or is too out of the norm, you are pretty screwed, exciting is more dangerous than boring, but it doesn’t make boring less dangerous.
The article is about that history.
