It's not exactly the same. Statecharts have more "features" than just hierarchical states:

- Parallel (orthogonal) states
- History (shallow, deep) states
- Entry, exit, transition actions
- Delays
- "Throughout" actions (activities)
- Etc.

That's what everyone says, but for me, coming from a rebase heavy git workflow, I've found Mercurial far more difficult to learn.

For example, with Mercurial, there's at least four different ways to do a rebase-ish thing: transplant, graft, rebase, and rebase (w/ evolve enabled). It's not obvious which a newbie should pick (rebase+evolve... I think?). Likewise, Mercurial has purge and strip which both delete commits in different ways. Git has multiple ways to do the same thing, but at least it's simple and consistent when you lift the hood.

Undoing any sort of rebase-ish operation in Mercurial also seems difficult and janky. It seems to take multiple steps, and involves unbundling some sort of patch file stored underneath your home directory. Whereas in git, you just update a pointer: `git reset --hard $BRANCH@{1}`. Git's reflog is such a fantastic safety net. Doing any sort of history rewriting in Mercurial feels very dangerous, in comparison.
Ok fine I’ll play.

Having an engineering degree and being an engineer aren’t exactly the same thing. Like, Colbert has an engineering degree to do with “information systems”. Deal’s resume is mostly about supply chains. Hyslop gets to call himself an engineer, so ok, that’s one. Uddanwadiker is an engineer, but IT.

So there is one actual aero engineer in the C suite. I exaggerated (it’s the internet so what fun it is to exaggerate) but not by much. Point is, these people aren’t the dream team I’d pick to design airplanes.
Since you're talking about proper historical context, it should be mentioned that none of the "nations" you speak of of were nation states in the modern sense. Many of the local populations were experiencing theft from their local warlords or kings or emperors before the Europeans came. Human history is full of people abusing power, it certainly wasn't first introduced by the Europeans, and it isn't unique to colonial style oppression.
> I can understand if the AD was intended as a short term fix but I would question the rationale if it were considered a long term solution

It was not, Boeing at the time was working on a solution.

Regardless, however, the pilots MUST know how to deal with runaway trim. This was true before MCAS, and is true after. It was true on the 757 (I spend 3 years working on the design of the 757 stab trim system). The cutoff switches are prominently within easy reach on the center console for very good reason, 40 years before MCAS.

It is not acceptable that pilots were unaware of the cutoff switches. It is unacceptable that MAX pilots did not read, understand, and remember the Airworthiness Directive sent to all MAX crews.

Similarly, airplane engineers work hard to keep the airplane from catching fire. But pilots also MUST learn to properly use the airplane's fire suppression systems. Most of pilot training consists of learning emergency procedures.

It's why airplanes still have pilots, instead of using automation instead.

Boeing still deserves blame for the flawed MCAS implementation. But there were other contributing factors in the crashes that must be dealt with.
That might be today's perspective, but if you take a look at seniors paying for groceries you'll sometimes see grannies with a few hundred on them. Anecdotally, I work with a 50-something who told me that when he was in his late twenties in a high-ish role where in he had to sometimes corral wilder co-workers he as a rule carried a couple thousand on him. That's something like $5000 today. He thought it was a lot, but not crazy.
This happened almost 7 years ago, so it's not exactly news.

I do mean elastic search, and the hardest part is automating the installer, integrating the providers for all the file types you want, and building the first index,in a passive manor.

But once you do that the overhead isnt horrible, you do the indexing on change, and results comeback as fast as a typical small query, 10 seconds tops on a typical desktop machine.

We wrote a scheduler that on windows monitored the windows indexer itself, when it kicked off we scheduled it, and trigged it once the system finished.

I don't honestly recommend it over windows search, but if portability, and multi system searching is required it worked great.

But not a task for those who are crunched for time, or lack resolve.
The problem is once you have the kind of money where tax havens become a priority, you no longer need anything the government might be able to provide. And then the game just becomes collecting as much money as you can and preventing that money from flowing through the economy by shuttling it out of the country.

The “good value” should hopefully be a well functioning nation full of healthy and happy people. Unfortunately that’s not the goal of most people with that kind of money.

> My preference would be for vape liquids containing nicotine to be prescription only for recovering smokers.

Isn't this going to make the argument for making teens smoke cigarettes so they can get access to vaping with nicotine? And before you say "they're not going to go that far," we can also have a conversation about what underage people will do to get access to alcohol.

Also, I'm especially humored by people wanting to put legal restrictions on things like vaping but wont have that same discussion about alcohol, which imo is much more harmful. Alcohol literally is: Yes, bonus that there's less cancer involved, but it' still a monetized addiction.

But what if adults just want to vape? Plenty of things are addictive. Sugar, video games, Facebook... if you want to take away somebody freedom to do something I think you’d need a pretty compelling reason. Otherwise why not just have the government tell you when to go to bed, wake up, go to the gym, what to eat, etc.

This is a topic with very scant literature. I'm curious if there's an account of global sand reserves. Unlike oil/shale, other mineral resources, it seems like available construction sand is basically all discovered by virtue of being on the surface. I'm wondering if there are predictions for peak sand, what current sand reserves translates to in total tons of future concrete production etc. Otherwise it seems like the kind of resource that need to managed properly, seeing how land reclamation projects will be increasingly necessary with raising water levels. Engineered timber can replace some building needs, but I can't think of an alternative to concrete for other critical infrastructure like roads.
None of this logic applies to equity granted to employees, which are already subject to vesting. The argument you're making is actually for founder vesting, which is a separate issue.
There’s a store like this in Alabama also profiled many times appropriately called ”Unclaimed Baggage” and acts as a clearing house for most of the US lost bags.

Since 9/11 and newer TSA regulations have gone into effect, as well as just how much better we’ve gotten at tracking bags electronically, the quality and churn at the store has kind of plummeted.

One thinks one may pick up some Ming Dynasty vase or fossilized velociraptor eggs lost in transit (and to be sure there were good deals back in the day) but the reality now is more like a large thrift store. We all grumble about air travel but “lost bags” feels like something that’s gotten markedly less common over the past 20 years.
That exact argument could be made against disaster recovery data centers. Why bother building a new data center and buying two servers when you could just have one and save tons of money?
I've learned a bit of morse code from flying. The older VOR navigation systems identify themselves with a three letter code, so to confirm you have the right frequency dialed in, you listen to the dot/dashes getting beeped at you. I cheat - I found a font that would translate the VOR name FCM when I printed it for my kneeboard.

The charts, for example, lists the morse code for the VOR, which translates to FCM

This is very insightful. Thank you.

One insight you may not be considering is that the profile of a CS graduate has changed significantly. A tech job is now full of prestige and social status. Even more so if that tech job is at a big brand name.

A much larger portion of young people are going into tech purely for the income and the prestige. And the preferences in this thread at the end of 2019 reflects that shift. Your average person going into tech in 2019 is very different than your average person going into tech in 2005 or even 2010.

The people who think like you still exist. Just that a much larger group has poured in and made them less obvious.

For chat, people will use Slack, Discord or Gitter. These new chat apps have clients on Linux/Mac/Windows and mobile apps and log messages remotely out of the box, where as with IRC, it requires additional setups and the solutions can be porous.

The other thing is IRC is one of those things where instant feedback isn't guaranteed. So many /join, ask a question, and /part by the time I even read it. In those cases, there's StackOverflow (and to a lesser extent reddit), where a thread is created and upvotes help a post weigh upwards a bit longer. As icing on the cake, there's nesting / voting in the conversation, as well.

With IRC, messages fade away and its really a matter of timing you find someone with the right expertise that bites. If you ask something at the wrong hour, you have to hope someone reads far enough up to answer you.

On StackOverflow, people are very generous in pointing to a newer answer with less votes. It's easy to copy and paste code snippets. Posts can be edited. StackOverflow posts are also more persistent as there's a concept of duplication and trying to have one thread for a question.
That's...effectively the same idea.

> As the Ethiopian crew found out: it can't.

Whatever you read about that is simply wrong. (I've seen a LOT of misinformation in popular print about this.) You're correct that the hand cranks were unusable. But the electric thumb switches WERE usable and were pointed out in the AD.

Note that the crews of BOTH the LA and EA crashes had already used the thumb switches to restore normal trim, the LA crew did so 25 times.

> best guess

No guessing required. Follow the training, which is supposed to be a "memory item", meaning they weren't supposed to need to consult a checklist nor dig through anything nor guess.

I am not a pilot, but I would not consider myself fit to fly unless I knew by memory what every single switch in the cockpit does, ESPECIALLY the ones prominently located within easy reach. You can bet it's not the infotainment system.

For damn sure I would read every Emergency Airworthiness Directive for the airplane I'm the pilot of, most especially one issued in response to a crash.

Git shouldn't take months to master if you can understand it conceptually rather than by use-cases. If instead of trying to learn commands to affect the working directory, staged files, or history, you learn how git organizes historical tree of commit hashes, then base what each operation does, it becomes much clearer. It's similar to trying to learn strings of shell pipe commands to get things done rather than realizing that there's pieces of work that each command can do. One tip is to use (even very temporary) branches rather than `stash`es unless it's absolutely short lived. And if you ever get lost, `reflog` is your friend.

For me, I had trouble first using `git` after experience with `cvs` and `subversion`. At some point, everything clicked because I inferred its internal model.
The question was too underspecified to give a good answer. It's the equivalent to asking "can I send data over the internet"? The answer to the question as-asked is "yes", but the details will be substantially different depending on what you're actually trying to do.

> MCAS activation is not, and was not, a runaway stabilizer situation.

It presented as a runaway stab trim. Repeatedly coming on and driving the nose down is runaway trim. No two ways about it. And the usual, standard, runaway trim procedure would stop it.

From my reading of that incident, nothing of the sort happened. The 3rd pilot simply reached forward and flipped off the cutoff switches. The crew landed safely and went on with their day. Nobody bothered to inform the next crew flying that same airplane.
