In practice there is/are none, because would-be points of failure are continuously replaced at a schedule well ahead of the number of cycles at which they are known or expected to fail. This is true for aircraft of all sizes, not just passenger jets.

Sure, but what does this mean for the 777X? With the NG, even if you reduce the inspection interval to a few thousand cycles you're only looking spending an hour on an inspection.

How often will you have to inspect the skin (and/or whatever else failed or saw damage) on the 777X? How involved will the inspection be?

The thing I can't quite get over is that something led Dominic Gates to run with "the door blew out" as the story. Why? If a torn fuselage skin on a destructive test is so minor, why go with misdirection? Think of it in terms of MCAS. Conceptually relying on multiple AoA inputs is simple, MAX specific training is (relatively) simple. Yet the MAX is still grounded and we're seeing leaks that indicate a suitable fix is dramatically more complex than Boeing has been suggesting.
The commercial monitors cost more because the price isn't subsidized by user data collection.

> when you can just shove it into the existing math classes

This is how it's already done in the UK, and has been for decades. When I was in high-school (or rather the UK equivalent) about twenty years ago we did discrete maths, algorithms, and data structures in the regular maths classes. I don't think computers were even mentioned - it was all described as maths topics.

And this was a bog-standard state school.

So when I want to university interviews I was already able to describe for example how to implement a hash table.
How do you install firmware updates??
New research: Dark Energy might not exist after all
Not exactly, it requires a lot more computational effort since it's not just guessing a number (salt, iterations and hash function are there to make this much harder). However, the example shows that seemingly impossible things are indeed not that far away (even for ordinary people). Computers are amazing.
Doesn't have to be. If I TX with 5W near my new Lattitude laptop, the cursor goes all over the place.
I've heard of electricians using uhf radios tripping GFI breakers.

It was added in 11, but I want to mention again how great of an addition the websearch_to_tsquery() function was. You can now get a respectable search system immediately in PostgreSQL without having to implement any sort of query-parsing or special data indexing yourself. All you need to do is add a column/index for fulltext search, which you can even do now using the generated columns added in 12 (instead of a trigger).

Then just pass user-entered queries through websearch_to_tsquery() and have access to multiple search capabilities easily. It supports searching for alternatives with "or", phrases in quotes, and excluding terms with a minus sign, which is all syntax that a lot of people are already used to. For example it can handle a query like:

blizzard or overwatch -"hong kong"

That would find anything with "blizzard" or "overwatch" in it, but exclude anything with "hong kong" (if you wanted to avoid results about that recent controversy).

It's really useful, and makes it so that you can add reasonable search functionality with almost no work at all.
The data on your viewing habits isn’t worth that sum (making it even sadder that TV OEMs are selling you out). The price deltas are driven by what the market will bear. As expensive as the commercial monitors are, they are a small fraction of the other costs of fitting out the conference rooms and facilities that use them.
I basically installed my new macbook pro, yesterday. besdes two apps I downloaded pkg/dmg files from websites.
well most of these apps have their own update infrastructure and would not work when published through mas. like vmware fusion. also Chrome/Firefox have their own auto update. funny enough the only two apps that came from MAS where from microsoft (RDP and OneDrive).
> Nobody buys a phone for the operating system

I did. Pretty much because all the drivers are mainline(able). Even if purism went belly up today, I could continue to run up to date Linux on my librem 5 basically forever.
I really liked this video featuring Chamath Palihapitiya[1]. It's essentially a rant about most of VC being a ponzi scheme:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwRZtZQoLtQ

[1] (from Wikipedia) Chamath Palihapitiya an is a venture capitalist and the founder and CEO of Social Capital. Palihapitiya was an early senior executive at Facebook, joining the company in 2007 and leaving in 2011. He is a minority stakeholder and board member of the Golden State Warriors.
It’s not about the asana being “right” or “wrong”, and in many cases I’d say it doesn’t even matter what the asanas are in your practice, as long as they’re moving the practitioner towards dhyana. But would you not admit that there is a lot of cultural appropriation around yoga in the west? Girls on Instagram with “Namaslay” shirts and dream catchers and sanskrit tattoos? Taking, packaging, marketing, and selling things in this way is racist.

Of course the modern practice of asana in the west isn’t inherently racist, and you don’t need to only be doing postures that were written down in old books. But wearing an Aum shirt and never understanding the deeper cultural contexts of what it is you’re wearing and practicing is racist. I’ve had conversations with people that have practiced yoga for years and literally have asked me “what’s asana?” and had never heard of pranayama. Were they racist? No, probably not, but it does speak volumes to how yoga is sold in the USA.
Reminds me of that forbidden experiment in Siberian Soviet Russia concerning breeding. What they were trying to do is breed a dog based on wolves. All they were doing to achieve that, was choosing the most friendliest wolves. Lo and behold, after a few generations they succeeded already. Selective breeding is a form of genetic modification in itself. Which is a reason to not be (at least pur sang) against gentech / genetic modification. Knowingly or not, we've already been doing it for ages.

[EDIT]Foxes indeed; not wolves.[/EDIT]
This will be an absolute game changer for web development. I am currently working on a really simplified version of this, but as a chrome extension. We deal with a lot of real time data and have been facing some timing issues (network and user input) which is really hard to reproduce.

I’m going to give this a shot today!
I wonder what preservation will be from this point out. I'm sure they'll take tons of photos, videos and fur samples they'll preserve, but can they keep this specimen in tact? Are there ways to preserve it with the fur and whiskers and maybe even keep it on display as it is, or will it need to be taxidermeried?

Edit: also those teeth! Do any other types of wolves/dogs have that crazy pattern?
I think that Chile would qualify.
Cargo doors are not plug fit, so a latching failure could cause a door to blow out.

Right. A cargo door failure could be simply user error.

Everyone in the industry remembers the DC10 cargo door failures.

And the 747 ones too hopefully (user error and poor design).

The fuselage some distance below a door failed, and split right up past the door. The partially unsupported door then blew out.

Right, the door failure was secondary.

Boeing could definitely had handled this much better, but it's not really surprising that in the absence of full facts the rumour mill got this one wrong.

Someone at Boeing obviously leaked part of the story (the door failed) and Gates ran with what information he was provided. The question remains: why only leak part of that story? Either failure will look bad to laypersons and both would be dismissed fairly quickly by people more familiar with airliners.

Is the working theory that Boeing PR is simply that incompetent or short sighted?
Couldn’t this exact same argument be made for building a colony a mile under the ocean? except, of course, that we could easily rescue those people.
I think it's mostly about drinking too much Kool-Aid of owning my data.

But probably because ttrss's pretty nice with quite a few plugins, so I can mold it based on what interests me. For example, I am also self hosting wallabag, and there's a single key shortcut to export the stuff from ttrss over to wallabag. Then there's a plugin to pull the data from the source websites and change it using XPaths. I use that to pull down the entire content instead of a single paragraph summaries, and to pull down the actual comics that I'm reading instead of the descriptions that are being sent to the readers. (As an aside, I donate/fund the makers in whatever capacity I have so that it compensates with me not getting their ads).

Did you know that even Youtube, HN & Reddit host their updates via RSS feeds? I have Youtube feeds for some of the channels that I find interesting, so that I can watch the stuff whenever it becomes available. For some low volume subreddits, you can use that as well.

With elfeed running in Emacs, I had bound a single key to download the youtube video via youtube-dl into my archive folder. I miss that stuff with ttrss, but I guess there would be some plugin somewhere to do that.
It really depends on the complexity of what you're doing. Since n cycles per 32 bit value takes n seconds on a single core, brute forcing the fast invsqrt const will be done while you take a few sips of coffee.

But any kind of substantial operation like building data structures and spilling to main memory can trivially leave you with a program that takes weeks.
Because they are a non-profit who can't pay themselves ridiculous salaries. Instead, they can now work at Ethos and draw ridiculous salaries.
100% of ultimate load, which is 150% of limit load. The limit load is what goes into the flight manuals and is what the aircraft is certified to withstand. The ultimate load is a safety factor on top of limit load and is what the engineers design for.

The writer has some of the numbers mixed up. Transport category positive load limits are 2.5 to 3.8 (depending on max takeoff weight), not 1.3. I don’t know where the 1.3 number came from, but it might be from the loads required to be demonstrated during flight tests (1.3g pull-up at 1.3x the stalling speed in the landing configuration IIRC).

We're still talking about phones, right? Putting aside the hypothesis that humans are incapable of logical decisions(?), I feel that you're drawing some fundamental psychological truth when there's much more realistic factors that are don't rely on assuming we are unable to fight our monkey brains to change our nature.

For most people on the street, this phone:

* Doesn't have a bunch of things you're used to in a smartphone

* Has stuff that you don't understand the value of

* From some company you've never heard of

* For $700

That's not some post facto breakdown.
I commend their efforts, truly, sincerely, but to be blunt, they made a phone for Ed Snowden.
I wonder if one day they’ll connect to other TVs that are online to get around the WiFi.
I see that you offer "append only mode" as a core feature. How do you deal with pruning of old backups in this case?

Regular borg only offers two options: either pruning does not decrease space used at all; or pruning permanently commits changes, negating any security advantages. Both of those seem bad enough to prevent offering "append-only" commerically?
k3s is not a PaaS. Rio (from the vendor of k3s) would be one.

It is an interesting discussion, I'm excited to see a full OS in Rust, something I was unsuccessful in achieving with Java[1].

On the performance question, I have a new 64 bit system coming with 64 threads[2], and I'm really curious to experiment with non-relocating microkernel architectures (architectures where kernel features have a fixed address that doesn't change while running). This is something I dreamed about at Sun using a Dragon (64 thread SPARC machine) and Spring (the research OS) but it was too expensive to allocate one of those machines to our small group for OS research.

[1] Yes, there are OSes written (mostly) in Java, but at Sun we tried a completely Java OS and the safety features of the language prevented it. The 'controlled relaxation' of safety features in Rust here (as opposed to 'jump into native code, all bets are off!') are awesome.

[2] In theory I'm in the queue for the first arrival of an AMD TR-3990 for my sTRX motherboard. We'll see how that holds up. :-)

Dumb TV's are more expensive so you wouldn't be able to find enough people willing to pay that premium I think.

What would be great and much easier technically would be an (open, non-google) Chromecast clone that you can plug into a smart TV and then just not give the smart TV an internet connection.

I find the popular colonialist view of space travel problematic, because if it comes to fruition, then that means that earthlings couldn't figure out how to take care of themselves. I don't see our salvation in the destructive exploitation of other worlds.

Citation needed that asteroids are easier to mine.

They win on arbitrarily long timelines, but they start to look a lot worse if you want ROI in under 10 years. It takes a ton of energy to reach and return from most asteroids in a sensible period of time. With unlimited time you can use various slow tricks to park them in accessible orbits, but this is a gold rush not a 100 year infrastructure project.

O'Neill had it right IMO, Lunar and Martian mass drivers firing up to Lagrange points are going to win. In the early days those bodies win because you can iterate on your mining tech way, way, way faster and keep up with the falling cost curve. In the later days economies of scale win the day.
While this is true, it’s probably a bad idea to rely on human reproductive evolution when strategising a battle.
At some point, a combination of manual/explicit reputation tagging and a web-of-trust system might become a plausible defence against a lot of these user-hostile connections.

If your corporate site, where you advertise your new high-end TVs and laptops, starts triggering warnings in all your visitors' browsers that it might be associated with malware and falling off all the SERPs for similar reasons, you're going to stop loading it with junk pretty quickly (and its trust score will improve pretty quickly as a direct result). Likewise, if your smart device tries to phone home and home has acquired negative rep, maybe that connection gets blocked automatically at the firewall.

We'd need a system that was guided by interested/aware participants who are unlikely to be successfully gamed and that mostly "just worked" for average users, but we've managed to build those in other contexts before so it doesn't seem completely out of the question.
Hi, I'm nobody.

I have no interest in Android or iOS. I have no interest in phones that make it difficult to run non-android systems on them. I have no interest in devices I have to break into in order to make them do what I want them to do.

Phones that I've been using for more than 10 years now make it easy to run Debian GNU/Linux on them, baremetal, straight out of Debian repositories. Those devices don't require me to run any proprietary binary blob on my system. Those devices are supported by community years after their manufacturers abandoned them, as mainlining makes that task actually manageable. That's the kind of phone I'm interested in and its OS plays a big part in it.

Yup. Keep it out of the app store. I ran into BlueMail awhile back when assisting a non-profit. A number of the staff members were using it so I figured I'd take a look. It wasn't long before I found it was exposing email service authentication credentials in clear-text network communication and was sending those credentials to their own servers. I advised everyone to stop running it and banned the BlueMail agent from connecting to our mail service. I reported the vulnerabilities and never heard back. I never followed up because the app was subsequently removed, which I hope I played some small part.
W3C Status Update on Web Games Technologies
And there’s no good way to stop that.

As long as they rely on your own network for their external connectivity, you can always firewall them (at the expense of any connected features you do want to use, perhaps, but then I suspect most of us would agree that 99% of those are junk in most smart TVs anyway and be OK with that limitation).

The problem comes when they can form their own connections, but in that case they're not under your control anyway, DoH or not.

I trust cableco providers even less than random smartTV manufacturers.

And those TV boxes are 2-way obligate devices...
My hypothesis is that dumb TVs don’t need to be more expensive, and that the savings of not needing a beefy SoC and more DRAM and Flash offsets what would otherwise be coming in from advertising.
Many years ago I remember using a similar shim on ASP.NET where you'd simply decorate a server-side C# method and you could call it from JS like any other method. Not quite the way done here, but it had similar goals to blend server and client. So far, these things don't work in practice because of the so many things that differ between a browser and server environment.

Dont trust the client! Serialization should be abstracted. Btw. how does this work without serialization? :P (I guess its abstracted). With an abstraction layer, sending a request can just be an azync function call.
There is also the option to keep the front end stateless aka server rendering like in old school web apps.

This, along with Jolla's bankruptcy, is why I stopped using Sailfish as a former user. I didn't feel that I could depend on the platform sticking around.

I later switched to Ubuntu Touch because, despite Canonical picking up the project, the community had continued maintaining it. They could do that because it was freely licensed; nobody could do that for Sailfish.
Wait wait wait. Windscribe, which looks like a heckuva VPN, where does it run? Because we are talking about filtering or blocking the data flow between the TV and the local router, i.e. the connection between the TV and my Comcast router. How does Windscribe get involved in that stream?
At least in America, these views are necessary to push against for-profit faux trade school blather. The Krishnamurthi stuff referenced in the leading comment which is quite similar has been actually studied; there is evidence it is a better curriculum.

Perhaps we need trade schools too, but primary education should not be that.

Also, it's not all abstract nonsense without computers. Learning to hand-evaluate functional programs is perfectly reasonable, and no more tedious than long arithmetic by hand. I've seen students treat the implemenation like a black box, when the interpeter algorith is not complicated, which I highly doubt is good for pedagogy. (Though, as I have not studied education, I've leave that at "highly doubt".)

And finally, completely separate from the above, it's good to avoid computers for focus/attention reasons in many classroom settings. Even if they somehow could speed up learning, until we've worked out all the psychological effects of bright fast moving screens and stuff, I can't say I mind the good ol' paper and pencil that every teacher knows well.
Calling it "Dogor" as both meaning Friend in a local language and a play on "dog or wolf" is the kind of word play humor we deserve.

The classics were a part of the Zeitgeist essentially - related to the legacy of Rome and Latin as a trade, church, and academic language. It was a universal thing and I believe the works themselves were incidental (although influental) compared to the intellectual culture itself in valuing study.
tl;dr: Statistical analyses of Github are still a dumpster fire of flawed metrics. Regex matching of commit messages substitutes for bug counts, regex matching of source files substitutes for language identification. It is garbage-in, garbage-out, with no defensible conclusions.

But that breaks the streaming functionality.
Mutation testing mutates the program (by making changes in the code, like flipping a condition in an if statement), and then checks whether the test suite catches it. That is, it tests the tests.

Mutation-based fuzz testing mutates the input to the program (often by starting from know-valid data and applying a mutation to the data). So it tests the program, much like unit-tests.
So Dell took the company private in 2013 for 24.4bn. Right now the market cap is 34.26bn, most of the value from Dell’s 80% stake in VMWare (worth 65bn). So one it’s face, Dell looks pretty shitty. Since the buyout was announced (Feb 5, 2013), the S&P has returned around 105%. Dell as only returned 40%, mostly due to the massive amount of debt Dell has been loaded with.

Anyways I was hoping to make some argument about HP or Lenovo doing worse in that time period.. but after checking, Dell is indeed doing pretty shitty. Maybe I could make some weak argument about once they pay off their debt, but I dunno, he and his leveraged buyout guys could have done better with an index fund.
I bought a dumb tv in 2013 that I still use just fine without any firmware updates. It's a screen, it needs no updates.
