>Do simulators have the same hardware as real planes, or do they have a software model of the airplane?

the avionics are usually real, being fed dummy data from a software model with regards to the plane.

Here's a PDF about it.[0]

Training simulators are typically convertible, meaning that the flight characteristics are entirely fluid and made by the simulator using physics models and data provided by the airplane manufacturer. This makes it possible to train multiple platforms on a single simulator.

I don't know how corporate simulators work. In automotive fields they utilize all OE automotive hardware and the simulator is only in charge of feeding data to the automotive systems. I would hope that it's similar for corporate plane simulators -- a real plane ECM/brain and accompanying systems being fed dummy data.

I doubt the corporate simulators are at all convertible -- they're likely brain-in-a-jar simulators; planes without engines or hydraulics, being fed dummy data.

Yeah this is unfortunate. As a native English speaker living in Finland - going to the movies it's interesting seeing how dumbed down the subtitles are. Dialects, slang: a lot of it can't be translated directly. I just installed this extension and tested it on "Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat" and one of the first things I noticed - two lines into the show was:

"... that she grew up eating in Iran" => "joita han söi Iranissa"

The Finnish translation here is "that she ate in Iran". Contextually, it still makes sense, but it's important when learning a language why it's okay to translate it that way. Literally it means something different, contextually it means the same.

I might give this a try, with the auto-pause feature.
Hadn't heard of Qwant. Looks like they do their own indexing, which is good to see. Definitely an engine to keep an eye on.

Ecosia is just repackaged Bing, ostensibly with a second filter/ranking pass over Bing's results iirc. Is there much difference between the two from an end-user perspective, beyond the ecology gimmick?
A french forum I've been heavily involved with for the last 14 years used to require a proof of ID to join (for both reading and posting) for a decade. However members were still pseudonymous once approved.

In my opinion it had two substantial effects:

- A substantial improvement in the quality of the discussion in the short term. No spam anymore, few low-quality writers, and the fact that users enjoyed privacy but not at the expense of accountability made for lots of interesting discussions.

- Almost no new members because of the reading barrier, which caused a slow but significant decrease in quality in the long term. While this private tight-knit community had a good run for a decade, once in a while an interesting member would leave for life reasons and at some point the lack of a new guard posed an existential threat to the relevance of the forum.

Both of these facts led the staff to reenable enrollment without an ID a couple years ago but still keep a private subsection with ID required. We had an influx of new members (as we expected), a few interesting ones among them (as we hoped).

Personally I think experimenting with anyone-can-read + writing-requires-ID could also be worth exploring.
This is a totally valid point. There are now initiatives like https://tech.fpcomplete.com/haskell that gather tutorials for essential stuff, but I think we're far from being beginner-friendly. I don't think there's any other option except for improving libraries little by little, adding well-written tutorials.
Good lord, this article is unreadable...
They could have taken the position that it's up to the airline to decide if they want simulator training. Recommended but not required. That puts the responsibility on the airline. Still not ideal, but better than actively discouraging the training.
This could be an epic house of cards.

A speaker I follow made this one of his predictions for this decade [Source: https://www.perrymarshall.com/52453/10-predictions-for-2020-...]

"A charismatic college grad drenched in debt will stand up and shout: “I’m NOT paying back my student loans. You can repossess my car, evict me from my house, revoke my diploma, throw me in debtors prison… but I’m not paying. EVER. Who’s with me?”

"When the Mall in Washington DC is jammed with Millennials standing together in solidarity, the dominoes of higher education will fall."

"The art of manipulating 18 year olds into non-dischargeable loans leading to dead-end careers has driven tuition into the stratosphere."

"Schools and banks are guaranteed their dinero, even if the student never lands a job, even if the degree is in Elizabethan poetry… and not even bankruptcy gets you out of hock."

"This runaway train WILL crash. The bubble WILL pop… this decade."
> And do note: those released items are Boeing putting its best foot forward. And it's a low bar. Imagine the emails and chat transcripts that were not released.

My guess was that the new CEO was trying to get out ahead of developments by airing the remaining dirty laundry. It makes him and Boeing look sincere and starts the clock on the public forgetting the bad news. The constant drip of bad publicity made the previous CEO look like an idiot.

I don't expect Boeing to actually clean up their act, but I bet they're going to be smarter about things going forward. I doubt there are going to be any more damning reveals about the 737 other than what can be mined from these latest disclosures. 777X is another matter, but I bet any revelations will occur more quickly and cleanly.
Looks nice overall, but I'm not a fan. It has nothing to do with the implementation itself... just the fact that I view the consistency of the iOS UI toolkit as being more important than fancy looks.

It's a good thing (tm) that no matter which app I open up, the date picker looks the same, and works the same. This is the nice thing about native apps. So I wish we would stop reinventing wheels like this (once again, no offence intended to the author – this is a more of general critique).

Both GOES and MSG (the EUMETSAT version) have similar abilites at night (the both rely on infra-red)

The GOES nighttime image is not a real image, but a composite of the IR band (similar to [1]) and a night lights image (probably from VIIRS [2]).

You could do something similar with MSG if you wanted (e.g. [3])

Space hardware development is heavily supervised, and there are no issues induced by mass production.
Programmers working on products like the iPhone or on networked services can end up applying creativity more often than you think. Sometimes there are difficult problems that can only be solved with applied creativity, and you also get much better results if your thinking is informed by the people who will be using your product (or taking it across the finish line once your code is 'done').

In my past jobs working on tools and infrastructure, the best results usually come from sitting next to the people who use the tools or at least watching them use them. The traditional model used by the teams I've helped typically was partitioned off and people tossed things over the wall, but I always got significantly improved results by actually collaborating with the users.

You can compare programming with Air Traffic Control but in that case you need to realize that ATCs are in constant communication with their customers (i.e. pilots) in order to deliver the best results for passengers. If ATCs behaved like programmers in monolithic organizations they'd simply issue flight plans without talking to pilots at all and they'd be ill-equipped to respond to emergencies and sudden changes in flight situations.
It varies wildly on the simulator. Boeing or Airbus are completly able to rehost their software on a simulator mostly made from real OEM parts. From that, it's simply a matter of designing new scenarios from what you're feeding the various sensors.

On the other hand, if you're simply looking for some training hours on some specific basic scenario and/or aircraft, the simulators can be a lot rougher and still be certified. I "flew" on an airliner manufacturer designed simulator, and everything from the instrument panel to the hydraulics simulating the small impact when rolling between plates on a concrete runway felt pretty damn real.

For more basic stuff, even X-Plane exists in an FAA-approved version.

Let me try to present one problem relating to cherry-picking. I don't know Pijul so I'm not sure it illustrates its strength clearly, but at the very least it should address the idea that there is no problem with cherry-picking.

Using git terminology here.

Say you have a release branch and a master branch, and you normally fix bugs on the release branch and then merge the release branch into master.

Now it happens that a bug was fixed in master, and later it turns out that it's actually a critical thing that should be fixed on the release branch, too. So you cherry-pick that fix into the release branch.

Now the next time you merge from release into master, you attempt to merge this commit that was originally cherry-picked from master, so it's already present in master. But git doesn't know.

With some luck, git sees that the textual change is already present, but I believe that can also fail sometimes.

With Pijul, you would have applied the patch from the release branch onto the master branch, and Pijul would have recorded that, and on the next merge from release to master, Pijul knows to skip this patch.

Another place where Pijul helps is when cherry-picking the bugfix in the first place: Suppose the bugfix includes calling some function (procedure, method), but another (earlier) change on master has renamed that function. Then Pijul can alert you to this fact and tell you which other commit (patch) from master is needed to cleanly apply the bugfix.

Does this help?
That is only if you use the debian-specific definition of "stable" which is "does not change". The rest of the world thinks of "less bugs" when they think of stable software.

Replying to myself in case this could be of interest to someone else.
After a long debate I convinced my friend to try Torchlight 2.
We played for maybe 90 minutes yesterday and so far it seems to be at least ok for both of us.

We used Discord voice chat to coordinate.

(I think it can scale to up to 4 different cooperative players - of course it is not turn based but from my previous experience with Torchlight first edition I think it is playable even if your reflexes are just average).
But "hide from the UI" might be sufficient to pass legal review for a "make only available to users of language x, y and z" clause.

I could easily imagine this happening if they have two separate layers of availability checks. One general authentication check (likely with coarse "DVD region" baked in) owned by one suborg and another to handle all the eccentric subtleties of hundreds of different licensors owned by a different suborg. As laughable as "security by hiding the UI" is, when it's only protecting licensing nuances that have traditionally only been enforced by broadcast range (which is roughly continental for satellite) pressure to fix it can be very, very low.
I definitely would try this out, it’s nice to hear some advice too. Thanks!
I also struggle with getting up to speed quickly in the morning, and find myself looking for distractions. One thing that helps is to reread the description of the story I'm working on. Compile the project again, look at what's still wrong, and think about what you were working on the day before.

Not giving in to distractions is still hard, though. It's a matter of willpower, but maybe also tricking your mind. Distract it from the unproductive distractions with some productive distractions.

Curious question, however. If he was a naval officer, he not only qualifies to a $73k hand-out for the Montgomery bill, but the military will put you through university as an officer handout.

Soldiers also get an (unfair) entitlement financially. They are allowed to get special mortgage terms backed by the VA, which allows them to walk away from mortgages with no penalty, no ding on the credit report. I'm surprised this doesn't exist for student loans.
A good defense lawyer never puts their client on the stand. While this is not currently a criminal trial, the same principles surely apply.

If Boeing starts talking, then the focus moves from debating whether more training was needed and who was responsible for deciding it wasn't (corrupt FAA? customer pressure? honest mistake?) to whether the company is hiding something.

The first is a better scenario for Boeing than the second.

They couldn't actually afford to have that happen because they then would have had to implement an accurate MAX specific simulator. Doing so would have revealed some of the other design flubs, such as the Flight Computer as a single point of failure. That's why they were so concerned about Lion Air setting a precedent for other customers with regard to simulators.
Hey Alessandro - just got your survey response, thanks for signing up.

This is kinda my point: it's hard to read until you get used to it. I can totally see why someone used to Python has a hard time with Go's error handling, because they're not used to the rhythm of it (logical statement, error check, logical statement, error check, logical statement, error check); they're more used to (exception handling setup, logical statement, logical statement, logical statement, exception handling completion). It's different, and therefore strange and weird. But after a while you get used to it, and expect to see an error check after each logical statement, and it sort of merges into one structure in your mind.

There are packages for wrapping errors, and I believe some form of error wrapping (using the fmt package for some reason) is being adopted. More than that is up to the coder to implement.
IR getting converted into an interpreter-oriented bytecode is pretty common. Mono does it for its interpreter and IIRC, Spidermonkey has historically done that as well. I'm not sure if V8 has ever interpreted from an IR (maybe now?) but you could view their original 'baseline JIT' model as converting into an interpreter-focused IR, where the IR just happened to be extremely unoptimized x86 assembly.

Translating the stack machine into registers was always a core part of the model but it's interesting to me that even interpreters are doing it. The necessity of doing coloring to assign registers efficiently is kind of unfortunate, I feel like the WASM compiler would have been the right place to do this offline.
relativistic factor: being taught that programming == sequential imperative turns your brain myopic, makes even harder to unlearn and think about concurrent/distributed systems

bonus point: to an extent sequential imperative is an abstraction layer over the concurrent IC implementing your computer

> Parallel programming is not hard if you follow the "just use a mutex and you avoid race conditions" mantra.

At one extreme of the spectrum, you can do everything under a big lock and be effectively single-threaded. At the other extreme, you can use lots of mutexes and fine grained locking and end up with a mess of potential deadlocks and races and "here be dragons" because the original programmer did not anticipate that you sometimes need data not to change for a bit longer than a short and obvious critical section.

What I'm working on at work right now, oh goodness how many races and problems I've found around locking and multi-threading in general. It's a nightmare.
A great deal of procedures focus on failure scenarios. If these are different, then the MAX is procedurally different from the NG.

It might be closer to slavery as commonly understood, but it's pretty far away from slavery as practiced.

> "Slavery" also tends to come with legal restrictions of various sorts (on freedom of movement, freedom to make various choices, etc, etc) and inequality before the law (different punishments for the same behavior). Those sorts of things are emphatically _not_ being suggested in modern-day equity financing.

If equity financing happens at all, they will be, as conditions of the initial "loan".

Nobody wants a stylus to operate their phone or ipod or what have you.

Styluses were a product of limited technology in those specific devices. And even modern stylus implementations are lackluster IMO. I had a surface book for a while I used for note taking and I ultimately just replaced that method with recording audio and typing out highlights. Styluses are good for very specific tasks such as literally drawing on a computer or precisely manipulating 3d objects since they can be much more pleasant than a mouse for that task, but for general interactions? No way, styluses are awful. And they can be lost/broken.

So I don't see how this was a blindspot for Jobs. He clearly wanted to create stuff that was the computer equivalent of high fashion with mass appeal, not niche hardware.

This gives me two questions:

- did you have a method/tool to debug (from book, or chatting with others)

- are there still cpu designs dedicated to parallel workloads (I assume the usual desktop intel/amd, no matter how brilliant, may not be without hiccups in high parallelism)

oh one last thing, do you use dedicated compilers for parallelization ? or is it something "mainstream" like openmp
