As a vim noob, I needed to look it up [0]. ZZ saves the current file if modified and closes it. ZQ closes it without saving. Thank you, that will save me a few seconds per year.

Why the French way? I don't get it and I am very curious :-)

Both Chrome and Firefox doesn't work for me.
I am sad how tab management isn't given priority on both. Chrome is especially annoying with it hiding the tabs after certain number of them and Firefox takes too much space and crashes often. There is no tab stacking, auto closing, sorting, filtering and multi previews built in.

I switched to vilvadi last year and it has been a breeze.

On mobile, I don't have any preference but I avoid firefox preview now that it has been crashing on top ranking Alexa sites. I would appreciate better tab management here too because I have to switch between 5 browsers to just manage them all without them crashing.
There's an emulator: https://github.com/vmcall/battleye_emulation/blob/master/bat...

Apparently it sends 2 packets over the pipe and disables the anti-cheat completely. That's been patched but presumably it wouldn't be too hard to expand the emulator to handle the patch.
The other machines that I think of as being the siblings of the Tandem are the Nova (a lovely instruction set crippled by its shitty OS), the HP 3000, and of course the byte-addressed PDP-11. Despite their differences they all have a very similar flavor, reflecting a CISCy Zeitgeist when minicomputers were just beginning to cut their umbilical cords to PDP-10s and the like.

Tera’s first machine was bipolar (ECL I assume) and they finally squeezed out a CMOS successor with a lot of assistance from their EDA vendor. Never knew the story of why moving to CMOS was so urgent.

Amusingly, it was the Beowulf list where someone converted me to the Tera religion (rgb I think). I was convinced that was the way all computers would work soon. And, well, it's how GPUs work, kind of. But mostly I was wrong.

Not sure I agree about modularity. Galaxies, mammalian bodies, trees, bacterial films, cars, books, and river systems are modular. It would be surprising if we could make software non-modular. But we could make it only as modular as a tree.
Thanks!

Let me know if it was understandable/confusing overall!
“Of course the people don’t want war. But after all, it’s the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it’s always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it’s a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger.”

— Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials

The comment points out the rediclousness of the parent comment stating that you either pay $500 for medication or get run over by diy cars.
Also, the failure mode of the 737-MAX thus far did not have it fall from the sky in flames - assuming that the video which purportedly shows the plane doing just that is a true depiction of the event. Furthermore it seems unlikely for a 3 year old plane to be affected by the 'pickle fork' problems (where cracks have been reported in the wing attachment assembly on older planes) reported in this series.

I believe many posts here miss the core point. The article is talking about _liveness_, i.e. modifying the program while it is running. One example of this would be Squeak[1]. Another perhaps more relatable one is modifying your HTML5 app from the browser console.

"made a denial presumably because they wanted to be as careful as possible to preserve Michael Cohen’s and their own credibility"

I'm exceedingly doubtful that Mueller et. al. would make statements that were misrepresentative or lacking in credibility.
If the turbine disk disintegrates, it's liable to slice through the entire width of the airplane. This can sever all sorts of connections -- there have been crashes due to this in the past.

It's an unlikely thing to happen today, or ever, but it would certainly account for the rapid crash.
A decent amount clearly do, actually.

I remember how in discussion prior to the Iraq invasion, there was always someone going on about the need to kill Saddam, or how we needed to invade to prevent terrorist groups (ha!).

I've seen similar analogies to the airline industry, but IMHO this misses the forest for the trees. Tech isn't an industry, like automobiles or airlines. Tech is industry, like machine tools and assembly lines. When industry was first developed in the 1810s it meant specifically the textile industry, which was the easiest existing manufacturing task that could benefit from power tools and specialized workers on an assembly line. It was only a century later that we could begin to dream of things like automobiles and airplanes.

Similarly, I bet that our great-grandchildren will look upon the Internet, e-commerce, and mobile phones the same way we look upon railroads, paddle steamers, and power looms. Great inventions for their time, and drivers of huge fortunes, but also quaint anachronisms that have long since been replaced by better alternatives.

Notice that the article focuses almost entirely on I/O and the physical location of computation. This is a pretty good sign that we're still in the infrastructure phase of the information revolution. When we get to the deployment phase, the focus will be on applications, and our definition of an industry focuses on what you can do with the technology (like fly or drive) rather than how the technology works. In between there's usually an epochal war that remakes the structure of society itself using the new technologies.

FWIW, there was a similar "quiet period" between the First and Second Industrial Revolutions, from 1840-1870s. It was very similar: the primary markets of the original industrial revolution (textiles, railroads, steamboats) matured, and new markets like telegraphs were not big enough to sustain significant economic growth. But economic growth picked up dramatically once a.) the tools of the industrial revolution could be applied to speed up science itself and b.) the social consequences of the industrial revolution remade individual states into much larger nation-states, which created larger markets. That's when we got steel, petroleum, electrification, automobiles, airplanes, radio, and so on.

My take away from the whole 737 MAX incidents is that the technical shortcomings on the 737 MAX is from Boeing's gross mismanagement and too close relationship with the FAA. It was all profits over safety and regulations. Can you really guarantee that this has not affected other aircraft or their maintenance?
Because it's already enabled on hardware where it's known to work well but disabled where it has issues.
Oh, fair enough, last time I looked into the China regions that didn't exist. Reading the announcement I'm loving the seeming contradiction between "
AWS KMS is a managed service that makes it easy for you to create and control the encryption keys used to encrypt your data, and uses Chinese government-approved hardware security modules to protect the security of your keys." and the very next sentence "The service is designed so that no one, including KMS service operators, can retrieve your plaintext master keys from the service."

Something tells me those master keys aren't quite as secure as you'd expect in other regions.

It is better on the long term ? Do you find solid information ?
Americans may still not war but I think they have lost the ability to voice it, through protest or votes. Just like here in Australia. We're complacent, because things have actually been pretty good for a while. Now that things are looking a bit dicey, we find our voice is out of practice and no one knows what to do, or they are too comfortable to want to risk losing what they have.

I always figured complacency would be what undoes a democracy, as leaders and the media got better at keeping everyone entertained while they sell off the economy and wage foreign wars without our tax money but not our consent.
Since there's only one object file and header guards, this ends up working out.
Language and meaning evolves. Dictionaries aren't prescriptive, they report how words are used. Electrocution is currently defined as killed or injured by electricity by both Websters and Oxford, so it's a meaning that's caught on both sides of the Atlantic.

So I think that ship has sailed, whether you like it or not.
Maybe because of our (I very much include myself) infamous inability to pronounce correctly the sound "th" and making it sound like "z" instead.
This is all speculation at this point. Let's hope we find the definite cause as some point.

So, has HN turned into a political conspiracy theory and propaganda factory to beat the drums towards war? I just don’t see how this is relevant except to egg-on the paranoid InfoWars hobgoblins.
Edit: Never mind! I commented about a tweet that suggested the fireball was maybe a missle but it looks like people who know better agree that's not the case

Almost all American outlets are biased.

There are many with 'high integrity' (i.e. fact check, in depth, write well) but there's so much editorialisation, that they are biased.

You almost have to read the news off the wire, or watch local news to get straight news. Almost everything on CNN, Fox, NYT, WSJ etc. is editorialised in some way, even the non-opinion pieces.

Edit: to anyone that doubts this, consider spending a month reading outlets that you might suspect 'have a bias' (i.e. 'the evil other side'). It becomes very clear, very quickly. Some of the most prominent forms of editorialising, even in the more straight news items comes from what they decide is newsworthy, how the headlines are worded, the facts they decided to leave in vs. what they leave out. The kinds of guests, the form of questions. The main evening broadcast news in the US is decent, but almost everything on cable or in print has bias, even when it's 'high quality'. I should add that this is not an American phenom, there are hardly any large 'straight news' agencies in the world; maybe the BBC.

It's also helpful to read/watch the news from a different country, where you don't have a 'stake in the game' so to speak, and it becomes evident. If you use Google Translate on Die Welt, Der Spiegel, and Die Zeit - you can see how the same news is reported differently.
"A three year old Boeing 737-800, which does not have any known safety issues."

That is what we heard after the first 737-Max crash as well. Then came another one and the same line was spewed all over.
I used to use a Gyration[1] universal remote control that had a trackpad built-in that allowed my thumb to easily move & click the mouse cursor on my HTPC. Alas I used it so much over the years that it eventually lost responsiveness to my thumb. The manufacturer doesn't make this remote anymore and I never found another computer that made remotes with this kind of mouse technology :(

A lot of games are just grinding, and cheating reduces the grinding. Usually it makes them more fun but sometimes it doesn't, in cases where the game is terrible to begin with. After a while cheating is more fun than the game. One could also look at Twitch streamers and ask why the people watching don't just play the game; the answer for a lot of games is that the games are incredibly difficult and the streamer can get through a level in a few hours while it might take the viewer months.

I don't think money enters into it. People just do weird things, like painting miniatures or climbing Mt. Everest, and hacking is another of those hobbies.

When I last spoke with cadres, I'd say I scared them quite a bit when I said that they can't really hope to attract new industry now, and there is no imagined "higher value" manufacturers around who will come to supplant leaving ones.

And when they began to talk "what about trying retaining existing ones?" I said that they need not to look after SMEs as they are set to leave to cheaper countries invariably, but after the few remaining "giants" like Huawei, Allwinner, DJI, and likes of them.

They didn't believe me that Huawei will dare to leave in its sane mind, but it did. Now I can't get enough of pocket space for business cards from them, and can't attend a single industry event in peace...

> About 15 minutes before the disturbance in Norway, the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) near Earth abruptly swung around 180 degrees, and the solar wind density jumped more than 5-fold. Earth may have crossed through a fold in the heliospheric current sheet--a giant, wavy membrane of electrical current rippling through the solar system. Such crossings can cause these kind of effects.

Unless it was a non-Iranian missile, or a rogue actor.

As a side note since this discussion is related to Russell and his brilliant contributions, I think a similar discussion can be had regarding Russell's contemporary and co-author Alfred North Whitehead (mentioned breifly in the article).

If Russell can be charged with "selling out" or directing his work toward a more general audience, Whitehead can be accused of the opposite, or perhaps even worse. If you read into his works post Principia (which he co-authored with Russell) you find a brilliant logician and philosopher begin to deviate from commonly held assumptions of Western thought and attempt to articulate a philosophy often at odds with "objective" ways of thinking. His works are interesting yet difficult because he is often so at odds with 20th century science and philosophy that he has to create his own terms to describe phenomena, which he builds upon with increasingly unfamiliar terminology until most readers feel completely alienated and give up.

Imo both Russell and Whitehead were great minds and deserve their fair share of consideration and contemplation, pre- and post- Principia.
Exactly, it’s the safest passenger plane model until it isn’t.
That's also what an engine fire / turbine stall looks like. However, a 737 is able to climb on one engine so there was absolutely more wrong than "just" en engine failure/fire.
It has little mathematical content and as anaphor pointed out in a sibling comment is is not even an accurate portrayal of Russel's and his contemporaries lives.
I think trained mathematicians and the philosophically educated are probably just not the right target audience for the book.

I still found it an interesting and entertaining read. Just a few days ago I gave it to my eight year old and she came up with a lot of good questions while reading it. It is not a children's comic though and it is definitely a book that needs guidance, especially because of the artistic liberty it takes in many respects. For example, the first thing I had to set straight is that Russel's brother was nothing like he was portrayed in the book.
The Nullschool Earth Weather Visualiser is an amazing tool for exploring such phenomena.

Here's a view showing smoke plumes from Australia having passed over Chile and Argentina, PM25 channel:

I feel that many introductions to scanning and parsing are based on old techniques when memory were scarce. In those times storing your files in memory, was simply impossible. But we live in times where we have gigabytes of ram and there are not many projects that could not be read into memory. (Tell me about a project that has a gigabyte of source files, please.) So, why not assume your input to be stored in a string.
This model has been around since 1998. You have undoubtedly flown on a 737-800 many, many times. They are incredibly safe airplanes.

Okay here's ways in which I found the AirPods to be vastly superior to any other bluetooth headset or earbuds I've tried, including more expensive over-ear noise cancelling ones: -The H1 chip ensures a quick connection that's more stable than any other bluetooth device I've experienced. Much less pairing hassle and dropped connections and fiddling in menus. At a competitive price that already makes them superior to anything I'm aware was out for sale at the time. Add to that the tiny charging box that always keeps them topped up, and it's a winner for me. (This comment was indeed written at no cost)

No way that's true. Missiles are generally pretty small. That fire in the air was BIG, and was lit in the way that a fireball is, not the way that a missile burns.

Engine failure, not missile, caused crash of Ukrainian airliner in Iran: Ukrainian embassy

[1] https://www.reuters.com/article/us-iran-crash-engine/engine-...

The fallout / propaganda from this is certainly going to be interesting. Either Iranian air defense / Russian arms is unreliable or another nail in the coffin for Boeing. I wonder what's Ukraine's angle in all this in context of Trump drama. Is this an deescalation signal (at the request of whom?) or are they trying to burn Trump / Boeing. The amount of intersecting interest is staggering.
>Arguably Russell saw the limitations of “technical philosophy” more clearly than those who thought of themselves as following in his footsteps. The analytic tradition has produced some great work but too many of its practitioners have conflated rigour with technical argument. I would wager that there is not a single major work of political or moral philosophy which depends on a formal logical proof. What endures of Russell’s logic is of interest only in logic. If Russell wanted to address the problems of real life, he had to leave behind the symbols and numbers that had so captivated him in his youth.

What are the shortcomings of logic? Just incompleteness, or is there more?
