Autorotation is already the standard emergency landing practice in case of loss of engine power mid-flight; I'm only guessing that landings could be performed in such a way as to maintain the capability for autorotation throughout the maneuver.

Backblaze isn't selling their custom server racks to third parties to make a profit... they built their own initially because they were trying to make it as cheap as humanly possible and cut a ton of corners to get there. They had a ton of growing pains too which is why we're on POD version 6.0, soon to be 7.0. They modified as they ran into hurdles, most of which would've been avoided going with one of the major server vendors. On the flip side, they would have spent a TON more money on features they decided they didn't need, and their business model likely wouldn't have been viable with that overhead.

I HIGHLY doubt Oxide is offering to make small batch custom servers as part of their "bring the cloud on-prem". It's FAR more likely they're talking about taking OCP designs and adding their own software management stack on top.
It introduces far, far less overhead than advertising does though, so I bet they could handle it. Especially if they did $5/mo and essentially doubled the profits from these people.

Have you never got large merge conflicts because one branch made some changes to a block of code, and the other left it intact but changed its indentation?

That kind of thing would not happen in a better representation.
MongoDB supports indexing of nested and array properties and has a 16MB document size limit for BSON documents. Those things help a lot in a CMS; if you prettyprint an Apostrophe page in MongoDB the structure just pops out at you.

We've had good experiences hosting it both with the community edition and with Atlas. When your documents make up a page tree and have a lot of structure within each document that would otherwise involve extra joins, it's a nice representation and we really haven't paid a price for using it. If we had, we might have made other choices. YMMV.

There's a simple but subtle difference in "why didn't you just x" and "did you try x".

The first one has negativity associated with YOU in it and feels like it focuses on your past. The latter is neutral and it feels like it does not care about the past, more like a suggestion for the future.

I'm looking forward to when the onboarding process for IRC approaches the usability level of contemporary chat services such as Slack, Rocket Chat, Zulip, etc.
It's been mostly reduced to free software projects channels/networks and just semi-private channels for groups of friends who've been on IRC for years now. So #archlinux, #dolphin-emu, #python, ##machinelearning, etc. all on Freenode are pretty active.

There's some hobby and subreddit related channels too. Like ##chess, and #rubik.

Other than that, the language learning community was surprisingly very active years ago, so it's still kinda alive. Language-specific channels like ##deutsch, ##espanol, etc. on Freenode are kinda alive. There's also ##learnanylanguage.
> loans represent a redistribution of real-world resources away from people who have worked for them and towards people who the banks like.

This is simple, appealing, and extremely misleading; loans are more a temporal redistribution of resources. You get something that you will have worked for before you do the work, but that doesn't really absolve you from getting the income to pay the loan back.

> There is an ongoing trend where people in credit exposed markets (housing, other assets) are raking in unreasonable returns at a lower-than-advertised risk as more and more easy credit is created.

It's not that the risk is lower, but it has become horribly correlated. All the homeowners win or lose together. Globalisation of the housing market as a "safe asset" makes the problem worse. Perhaps we need a crackdown on owner-non-occupiers like the Vancouver foreign purchasor tax.
I very much agree with your point of view, and am glad they did (eventually) provide a way to disable the time-hop functionality.

Honest question:

How common is it to have the local funding of schools outside the US?

Schools are funded by property taxes. In lots of places this leads to expensive suburbs allocating lots of money to schools and leaving neighboring cities and low income areas out to dry.

Is this just another symptom of increasing wealth disparity in the US.

It's interesting to me the degree this article focuses on curriculum and not resource allocation.
It's open source. We do have one or two closed source modules we're pursuing, but we've learned our lesson watching what happens when other companies closed-source the wrong functionality. If it's a big win for most websites, and not just those at the largest scales, it should be open source.

I recently started a greenfield project with some newer (to me) technologies. After some Googling for issues, I decided to try some Freenode channels related to the frameworks/languages.

I highly recommend it for code help, but I've yet to re-explore some of the more hobby related channels of my past.
When you use passive voice, you are obscuring who performed the action.

This is one of the hallmarks of corporate speak ("Mistakes were made.") It is bloodless and takes the people out of the picture. Business is a human activity.

There are other more human ways to express the same message ("You might not have thought of it, but ssh might be a good option here." or "Maybe there's a reason it wouldn't work, but perhaps ssh might be easier?")

Language shouldn't become the victim of our distorted corporate culture. We can speak plainly and still be respectful.

This topic is a perennial favorite on HN.

Invariably someone will offer the opinion that they should auction the visas so the highest paid get it.

Someone else will respond what about junior people joining it and salaries in Michigan vs San Francisco and so on.

I'll tell you what struck me about this article: the data is staggering. The drop in acceptances is much greater than what I would have guessed. The distribution among the firms is about what I might have guessed. But 30-60% rejections is definitely news.
It looks like the Trump administration is looking to make the H1-B system follow its original intent: bring rare labor to these shores. I look forward to seeing the labor market change where there are five to seven Indian contractors doing basic web programming all living in a rental ghetto in a 2 bedroom apartment. We’ve been treating all labor unfairly. We’ve exploited poor from foreign shores and squashed the ability to develop native talent.
That's one problem I wish the content companies (production and distribution) would fix. I hate having most streaming options in the US, but having different options when I travel. Weird things like books I bought for Kindle won't download in the UK because they were purchased in the US store. So annoying.

I bought an org domain back in the 90s, and have been using it as my personal domain (i.e. also primary email address) ever since.

While, granted, I was perhaps a little silly to go org (it seemed like a good idea back then!), it's mildly terrifying that my personal footprint on the web of 20+ years can now be held to ransom by a random VC firm, and to keep my own email address I might have to pay an additional $$$ annually.

Sigh.
> I don't see how the study you linked contradicted anything I was saying.

Jeff, you defended Google once saying that their decisions are motivated by wanting to help users make informed choices. The study was just to show that they have a track record of doing the exact opposite. Your characterization of Google was misinformed at least on that occasion. I made an educated guess that if you were willing to defend one stance that was proven wrong (that Google has any vested interest in helping users make informed choices) then it's possible you may make the same mistake again.

But dang is right, in the spirit of collegiality I should have found a better way to point out this mistake or even not do it at all.

" . . .to invest it with guidance from Goldman Sachs, who financially brokered the acquisition."

Oh, Goldman was involved ? Well, once the AG's file lawsuits with motions to stop the sale, a motion for discovery will likely be filed to determine how much money was passed around, how much Goldman made off this crooked deal, and we will be counting on our friends in the press to publish far and wide to embarrass and humiliate the Goldman douchebags . . .

and BTW, this lawsuit provides the perfect opportunity to also craft the motion for discovery to blow wide open these internet organizations finances and show the world how much they squander their money on bogus salaries, self dealing, etc.

Governments can also be held liable in court (see current lawsuits against Argentina for exactly this) and there is no evidence that a default is on the horizon for any reason other than a "voluntary" one imposed by a failure to raise the debt ceiling by legislation. Low interest rates are fairly convincing evidence that the market doesn't think a default is likely.

I do not claim that it would be good business from big tech. Vice versa. That's why they would need to be regulated to offer that. To me, it would not even matter if it was pretty much nobody using that paid service. Just having the option would be important.

Depending on context, you can assume that precision will bite you.

The problem is that rounding is kind of a big deal in certain financial contexts, and the process of rounding can greatly magnify floating point's decimal precision problems when you're dealing with numbers that are close to the .5's.

When I said up above that there are some contexts where IEEE floats are fine, those contexts are largely ones where you never have to round, or where you can guarantee that an accountant is never going to see or care how you rounded. So, to an approximation: Go ahead and fearlessly implement the Black-Scholes formula using doubles, but never, ever use them to do something simple like calculating an invoice.
Generally agreed, but Linux BPF is considerably more powerful than traditional Unix BPF, so I wouldn't depend on "it has been around for a long time" for safety.

I would like to see some academic research on Linux BPF verifier. If you are a graduate student working on formal methods looking for a topic, this is a hint.

I am saying that the list is examples of notable things missing on the battlefield (thus missing weapons are interesting), not a list of things that they took most of the time, or notable things they took. They took everything of value, most of which was personal property, so speculating about the word looting or legality seems weird, because their actions were mostly not legal, not the other way around, and you can't really separate the two.

It's not that difficult if there is a will. Just let big tech know that if they break this law, they are going to be fined all the way to bankrupty without hesitation.

I use this method almost exclusively. Even for things like meetings (to my sibling's comment). The trade-off is that I tend to only take notes on one side of the page, using the back side of the previous page for organizing my thoughts I need to say in a meeting (or in a class- I still take one occasionally for my interests).

So I use a lot of paper, and look forward to the day that I can really use my method virtually. But the time it saves helping me learn stuff (by making it super easy to do a quiz-like review) keeps me coming back.
True, but I think that the uncle's connections in Washington enabled the brother's and their family's entry to the US. After that it is simply another case of maladaptation to their new situation, conversion to extremism, the deed, and then clean-up of a potentially embarrassing situation. It's basically "blowback" from the covert operations to use Islamic extremism against the USSR and Russia.

>So people that "want guns" can still "have guns", but the murder rate is much, much lower in those countries than the US, because other more powerful weapons are restricted or even outright banned.

That right there is resting on a huge unsubstantiated assumption on your part. I personally don't think giving people the right to bear arms necessarily reduces crime but I say this because evidence doesn't really bear the notion out. You say the opposite without any backing evidence. By way of opposing arguments: In most Latin American countries (including the extremely violent one I live in) private gun ownership is either outright banned or extremely curtailed. Despite this, most of Latin America has murder rates per 100,000 that are several times to several DOZEN times higher than those of the U.S. Another example, in the U.S itself, homicide rates (same metric of deaths per 100,000 people) vary enormously from state to state, county to county and municipality to municipality, and the correlation between this variance has very little visible connection to gun ownership rates or gun access restrictions in those same municipalities. Go look at the stats yourself: this is why states like Wyoming, where gun laws are extremely lax, can have extremely low murder rates while places like the city of Chicago, Illinois or Baltimore, have enormously higher homicide rates despite having local gun laws that are nearly as strict as those of many European countries. Other factors besides gun laws are largely to blame for the higher-than-average murder rate in the U.S (by western standards), not access to lots of powerful guns.
That's a great question. I don't know the answer, but I'm sure similar resources exist in languages with non-Roman writing systems.
