similarly, after switching my tv,gaming rig,work laptop,phone to twilight/flux/redshift/night mode for several months, I find going without at night to be uncomfortable almost to the point of pain.

my ex-wife found them to be too dark and painful to her eyes.
I think it's safe to say once we're at that stage the tv's simply won't work unless connected to the network.
With all those changes listed, you are basically saying that if it was a different plane, the software would not be a problem (which in turn is an issue because we don’t really know that would be true or not since Boeing seems to have institutional problems).

The issue is that the plane was changed only enough to avoid a cert issue but to keep the plane flyable, software had to be implemented to keep the pilots and the plane in check.

So, the plane needs to be either redesigned or it won’t certify. You are correct in that Canada called Boeing’s bluff. But the software is the issue or the plane would not be flying anyways because it wouldn’t certify.

These days you’re probably better off using the version of CoreFoundation that’s maintained as part of the Swift project:

Whether Razor or Server Side React, it's the same thing. Both are compiled and produced on the server and sent to the client. No difference except that react is a much better template engine.

Obviously if you're just using a cheap or old amp it won't have HDMI, but if you're amping with an A/V receiver you can just use the HDMI out and get perfectly good quality.
If an intervention only 'works' because of the placebo effect, than that intervention doesn't actually work and there is no reason for someone else to use it. If my sleep is improved by listening to death metal with the volume set to high, then good for me and I can continue doing it, but you probably shouldn't copy me, and may explain to people that they probably shouldn't buy my 10$ death metal sleeping app.

Just for another data point, I'm a "senior" developer (been programming for 30 years) and I tend to look more at frameworks than languages. I really think that starting from first principles allows one to end up with an elegant solution, regardless of whatever errata is present in a language. A good framework is the elucidation of an idea with the edge cases covered so that you don't have to reinvent the wheel. It should give you the tools you need to integrate with your code and then get out of the way.

Specifically, take something like Laravel. It's based on Ruby on Rails, which borrows heavily from .NET. Personally I think that Ruby is a decent language that gets a few things right, despite some early compromises to get closer to the metal which caused some unwieldiness down the road. However, Ruby on Rails has a brutal learning curve unmatched by just about any other framework that I've learned. And the end result unfortunately succumbs to being too opinionated due to emphasizing convention over configuration too much IMHO. I think that's why it fell from favor, and personally I wouldn't recommend it for new development.

Whereas Laravel does a lot of what Rails does, despite using the "hackier" PHP language and less syntactic sugar or magic under the hood. The companion Laracasts are mostly exceptional. I would even go so far as to say that if you want to learn Ruby on Rails, learn Laravel first. That way you can build on context and be comfortable with Rails in a few weeks rather than the months it would take to learn it from scratch. You'll also notice the inconsistencies in Rails more and be able to work around them so your code is conceptually correct, rather than evangelize why their existence is needed or that they're the "one true way" to do something.

What I'm trying to say is that after using Ruby on Rails, I'm still not sure what problem it's trying to solve half the time. It seems to be structured in a way that solves issues encountered late in a project, but it's never really clear why one path was chosen over another. Like I solve a problem in my head, then have to translate it to the Ruby on Rails way. I don't get that as much with less-opinionated frameworks like Laravel. I think the best approach is to provide as much functionality as possible with sane defaults but not force the user into a paradigm.

Simplifying from Angular to Vue is another example of this. There are many others, but to play on this, it's one of the reasons why I'm uncomfortable with stuff like Kubernetes. Or even Unity for that matter. The more monolithic/enterprisy/opinionated something is, the more I'm skeptical of it.

This idea of working from first principles (the way a new user might) is a way to think about how to go about writing code that junior developers can use, even if the concepts involved are senior-level. I practice this technique but it easily gets lost in translation and I find myself explaining the easy vs simple dichotomy a lot. It's probably even cost me jobs to be honest. But that doesn't mean it's wrong.
Distributions are only assumed. There is no such thing as truly normal data or sampling distribution.
Who says we're not? For context, I'm one of the people quoted in the original article.

EDA companies constantly work on advanced technology with a few development partners. You can read that as: large companies willing to put substantial resources into a research project to push the state of the art. Eventually the more successful projects trickle down to the rest of the industry, some others just become custom options/scripts for particular companies advanced methodologies (this, btw, is one of the reasons EDA software tends to be quite complex)

ADDITIONAL UPDATES
--------------------

To be clear this secure network doesn't have to be open to the world. As long as it provides a network for the people and especially activists inside Iran to communicate and be aware of the news (there are many independent and fair reporters who are sharing the news from inside Iran targeted Iranian audience). It just needs to be secured from the government. Think of it as a Git repository that can be updated either p2p, offline using patches (via anything let's say even Bluetooth) or using the government intranet. This repository can give the activist a platform to share the news and probably lead the protests without being revealed or shutdown.

About a decade ago videos were going viral the same way, using just Bluetooth. So if in the worse case government shuts down even the Intranet, then people can switch back to that old way of sharing.
They already scan your purchases in your inbox: https://www.cnbc.com/2019/05/17/google-gmail-tracks-purchase...

They say they won’t use it to sell ads:

> “To help you easily view and keep track of your purchases, bookings and subscriptions in one place, we’ve created a private destination that can only be seen by you,” a Google spokesperson told CNBC. “You can delete this information at any time. We don’t use any information from your Gmail messages to serve you ads, and that includes the email receipts and confirmations shown on the Purchase page.”

What guarantee is there that this is not being used for other purposes? To train other kinds of models? To, say, monitor other people’s AWS bills, in order to optimize their own offerings? How likely is it that such a project was approved with no gain except adding perceived value to the Gmail product? I have a hard time believing they would do it only for that.

Not multiple lists at the same time, surely...?
Well, the roller-coster maneuver assumes you are high enough up that you can trade off some of your height for correcting the trim. Here is a link to the description: http://www.b737.org.uk/runawaystab.htm#rc

This obviously wouldn't work in cases like the Ethiopian, where the plane had very little height over ground due to the high mountains around the airport.

Edit: the point isn't that the maneuver had prevented the accident, but that its existance in the flight manuals shows that it was known that the trim forces could be higher than what the pilots could apply to the trim wheels.
Entwickler = developer; Entwicklung = development
Thanks for the kind words! You made my day.

I didn't really do any preparation. I had recently been thinking that pretty much every website I had ever built was sadly no longer in existence, and so I wanted to start producing real, "tangible" artifacts from my work; something that might have a shelf life of more than a couple of years. I had those recent SSR adventures in mind, and wanted to write them down before they faded from memory.

I usually begin with a bulleted todo list of insights or topics I want to cover. Then I dive in, and write in a more or less stream of consciousness fashion, which causes me to think of more topics to add to that list. I comb over the article and the list iteratively, reordering stories, editing, and and adding context as I go, until the result feels right. In this case I didn't have any notes, the content was rebuilt from memory.
> Again, in the transportation example above, these would include the fossil fuel extraction and highway expansion industries.

Those are only side effects. The main set of interests keeping things like this is the American consumers. The majority like way more space in their homes and property than their European counterparts.

The real issue is that public transport doesn’t actually work when the middle class is living in 3-5 bedroom homes with 1/4 acre lots. There is no country with good public transit where a middle class income can easily support that size home. The hard truth is that it’s going to be a trade-off.

Sort of. So far most of our hires have Haskell experience. Haskell was the main reason programmers would want to join us, so they would be naturally experienced in Haskell.

I’ll have a better idea of how non-Haskellers, including very junior engineers, pick up Haskell later this year.

Based on our limited sample size so far, I think people become productive within 4–6 weeks or so.

The professional science/medicine funding system (i.e. NIH money) can be characterized by "cabal" depending on how you look at at it. If by "cabal" they mean any organized profesional vetting system. I suppose there is a trade off between vetting good funding ideas from the bad, vs. the risk of "suppressing" original views aside from the "dogma".

Did some alternative views get squashed by not receiving R or K grants? maybe. I would bet some of them might have been true original ideas that needed money to get good preliminary data. But many of them probably did not pan out.

A lengthy way of saying I agree w/ the OP of the thread...
> The encoded chunk is sent via a TCP connection to the Snapclients.

I wonder why TCP? For streaming media I would expect UDP, RTP or even RTMP to be better. Maybe even something newer like QUIC.

edit: in fact, isn't RTP/RTCP made for exactly this purpose? The streaming/synchronization of media?
Can you share any details ? I'm only about a year in , anything helps.
I'm not sure why that means you need to insult the people you work with. It's a symptom of power more than correctness, because you wouldn't address board members or investors that way, and presumably one wouldn't treat clients this way either.
Some workplace expressions emerge with the cover of power.

So sure, if you're working for Steve Jobs or Linus Torvalds, identify that fact and know the tradeoff you're making. But then they better deliver like so.
Can't one add mechanical gears so that the trim wheel requires less force to turn but needs to be turned more, without any other visible changes?
Broadly speaking, I agree with you. I was responding to the hysteria about the trim wheel in this thread. I'm getting the impression that some users think the trim wheel, or its behavior under extreme aerodynamic conditions, is a "new" design flaw unique to the 737 MAX when in fact almost every airliner in existence has a trim wheel behaves like that.

The exception being modern fly-by-wire planes that simply don't have an option of manual override.

The speaker talks about trimwheel behaviour. Pilots train for runaway stabilizer trim, but that's continuous movement of the trimwheel, faulty MCAS looks much like regular speedtrim

Empirically, the Lion Air plane exhibited the same MCAS behavior on its last (successful) flight. So it's at least possible for pilots to recognize it as a runaway trim and act accordingly.

Obviously you shouldn't take Lion Air, but after this talk Boeing doesn't look safe now either.

After reading the Lion Air report my conclusion is that the MCAS was poorly designed but it's also an easily fixed problem on an otherwise safe design and there's so much focus on boeing that they will take action and fix it. Meanwhile nobody cares about Lion Air and if they keep flying broken airplanes eventually they're going to kill more people, with or without MCAS.
Says who? I very much prefer the audible feedback as long as I'm not in a shared space; many people do. And not everyone on the planet is a programmer; people who deal with lots of numbers (e.g. accountants) need the 10-key pad. In fact, my wife carries a USB 10-key for when she needs to work on a laptop lacking one.

If you're looking for a quiet keyboard, look for one with Cherry Brown keys (if you like tactile feedback) or Cherry Silent Black or Silent Red keys if you want the quietest. There are lots of folks making good quality, choose your key, keyboards.

JS does add some capabilities around avoiding full page refresh/refetches. See e.g. Turbolinks or PJAX for libraries that help with that.

Frontend frameworks do a hell of a lot more than that, though. Much of the time, they're doing things that are either the result of shortcomings in browser standards and implementations or things that are just stupid.

It reminds me of the Stretch Armstrong's nemesis toy, Vac Man: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkj9ptYsjTg)

It's probably small bits of foam or maybe even sand. When there's air in the balloon, there's room for the sand to move freely, and it's "soft". When the air is sucked out, the sand has to move past other sand, which is a lot of friction to work against, so it's firm.

I wrote about this a year ago on my blog:
https://planiverse.wordpress.com/2019/01/11/advertising-to-⅔...

In short, the fake accounts had several factors in common:
- No or almost no public posts.
- The only public posts being an update of the cover photo and profile photo in 2017.
- The profile photos tended not to be headshots: a photo of a cup of coffee, say, or a landscape.
- Between 20-100 friends.
- Friends tended to be in places like India, the Middle East, or Southeast Asia.
- Their gender didn’t match the name or photo about half the time: a “Martha” referred to as “he” by Facebook, for example.
Same reason I prefer a wired multi-channel audio system throughout my house. Yes, wiring speakers is not fun and not everyone can do it - especially renters. But there are never sync issues, quality problems, or issues with connectivity. Same goes for wired internet over WiFi.

Wireless tech is pretty great. But when it comes to simplicity and reliability, I'll take wired any day.
Wait a minute, now that I've registered for Maxmind there is a Do Not Sell My Personal Information Requests page with the text:

The following IP addresses are associated with valid 'Do Not Sell My Personal Information' requests as required by applicable privacy regulations, and have been removed from (or will be removed from the next releases of) the GeoIP2 and GeoLite2 databases. None of the IP addresses listed or contained within a listed network may be used for advertising or marketing purposes.

If I had sent Maxmind a request for data removal, the last thing I would expect is that my IP address would be shared with any internet user who bothered to create a Maxmind account. Even if this page were removed, it might not be difficult to obtain the opted-out addresses by doing a diff between GeoIP2 free releases. Perhaps a search for narrow slivers of addresses removed that were previously in California?

Law of unintended consequences for CCPA? Bad implementation for CCPA compliance? What interesting things could be done with a list of publicly available list of opted-out IP addresses?

Have you changed caffeine consumption? You might be shocked how much of a difference that can make.
At the really small geometry sizes (beyond 28nm for most foundries) transistor topology has changed from planar to finfet or even variants of gate-all-around for the really leading edge stuff. These topologies limit the leakage paths, so even at the most advanced nodes the critical issue continues to be active switching power; not to say you can just ignore leakage, but active power is and remains the dominant contributor to IR drop for CMOS semiconductor designs.
You'd have to demonstrate 'deceit' and 'cooperation'.
By that I did mean you should have called it the second or third sentence instead, not that antepenultimate means second from last. Doing otherwise in a four-paragraph passage (and nearly any other context, frankly) is absurd and makes most people think you’re trying to sound well-read, and you end up where it is unclear even to yourself what you said.
I'm not a pilot but I do sail some and the same manouver is used. You know, sails also generate huge forces which might not be possible to physically counter. What you do is, if you want to trim and are courteous to your crew, you point your yacht upwind for a moment to let them trim and then get back on your course.
>GPS matters because it's important that the phone doesn't know where it is. I mean, if it doesn't know where it is, there's no need to worry that adversaries will access the information.

So your threat model is that you can't trust the device itself? If that's your threat model, you'd probably need a phone with hardware kill switches. Also, if you can't trust the device itself, why would you be carrying the device around? What would you use it for?

>No, but it generates location information that could leak. And if the phone uses WiFi to supplement GPS, it necessarily communicates with some remote server.

On android you can explicitly disable that ("device only" in location settings). There's no such option on ios, although you could still disable wifi/bluetooth and still have working gps.
I got straight A grades on high school essays. It turns out my teachers were just being nice. My first college essay came back with more words in red ink than there were words in the essay, all well justified. Niceness lowered the slope of the learning curve and I left high school incompetent and unprepared. Sometimes you've got to be cruel to be kind in the right measure. It's a very good sign.

you're idealizing science and literally begging the question[0], in this case, making an a priori assumption that science must proceed conservatively and then trying to rationalize that position.

conservatism unduly burdens science by overly valuing correctness over exploration. science advances on the latter, not the former.

be wrong, it's ok. it only adds to our scientific knowledge. we can't even know when we're wrong without a grueling many attempts at being right.
