Sims are owned and operated by airlines (and a few specialized training companies), not by Boeing. The airlines all have a lot of 737 sim capacity, just not 737 MAX specific. That didn't matter until now, because they're all the same type rating. Now that has changed they're all looking for MAX specific sims, which nobody has because they were unnecessary before.
I don't see any mention of favicons in this thread other than the one I responded to, and I don't know what thread from yesterday you're talking about.

But since both DDG and Google have favicons on the results page, I find it hard to believe this is really a matter that has people moving to DDG. This hypothesis basically amounts to "people are blind idiots who notice favicons on one page but not the other", and I don't think that's true.
My graduation thesis was porting a particle visualization framework written by my supervisor on a NeXT Cube, on Objective-C / OpenGL, into Windows using C++ / MFC / OpenGL.

The decision was taken because the department wasn't seeing a future to keep those NeXT workstations around, as this was shortly before Apple's acquisition.

Those Renderman manuals were great, though.
I do believe DDG does some custom ranking on top of the Bing results.
Not quite the same as entering "red" and hitting tab in order to search reddit, for example.
System 76 laptops are worth a look... full Linux support and reasonable pricing https://system76.com/laptops. I have only used their desktop and it has been awesome.

In the past I have used Dell Inspiron and HP Pavilions and they were excellent Linux laptops and almost everything worked out of the box. Dells, Thinkpads and most HPs in general have pretty good linux compatibility. You can also install Linux on your Macbook pro if you are okay with the hardware.
There’s some weird numbers in the article, which may either be a lost in translation situation or more evidence that airlines and Boeing are once again playing fast and loose with their plans.

For example, Southwest is apparently claiming they will be able to train their 10000 737 pilots on the simulator in 30 days. They have 3 simulators (still going through certification) and have ordered another 3 for late 2020.

Assuming they have all 6 on day one, that means each simulator will be training approximately 1600 pilots. Divided by 30 days, gives you 50 pilots a day? In other words less than 30 minutes a pilot assuming extreme efficiency. And training 24/7.
For anyone without the wherewithal to deploy their own Matrix server and without a friend who has one, it looks like there's nothing like the (generous) Discord free tier. Looking at the recommended hosting provider on Riot.im's website:

https://modular.im/services/matrix-hosting#fair-billing-poli...

It looks like if I wanted to invite 10 friends to my room on Modular.im, I'd have to pay $17.50, compared to $0 for Discord.
This nailed it for me. I came back to write some go last night after not writing it for a long time. The modules, go dep, etc stuff really put me off.

Whereas beforehand (been writing stuff for a few years, not hobbyist, just not super complex) it was intriguing..now it seems like they've just moved on in one direction for packages. However, that direction is not really super well documented, intimidsting, and sure as hell doesn't work as well as nuget or npm.

I believe there are also Dells that you can buy that don't come with Windows preinstalled.
This is a great idea, lovely to see something with so much potential utility being turned into a functional product.
They don't show full URL, and a few times when I clicked on "correct" link I got to a shitty landing which I could not escape. Of course most of the blame is on shitty website design, but still I want to see where the link actually goes to because most of the times for me it's confusing.
Following the money is an excellent plan!

I haven't heard anything about defined-benefit pension plans, or their use in professional societies. Could you say a bit more? Or provide a link to learn more?

Google has fuck all to do with my decision to use Go and nor has it ever been a consideration. In fact I’m about as decoupled from Google as one can reasonably expect to be.

I think you need to do some research into what “personal preference” actually means because you seem to think your own preference is gospel and everyone who disagrees is a magpie (which is just an indirect way of saying “idiot”). And frankly it’s getting tiresome watching you derail every software development thread.
The Pro Micro is a daughterboard for an Atmel MCU, it comes with standard pitch headers that are quite long, so you need to clip them once you solder it in. And if the solder gobs up, I recommend reflowing it (melting it down) so that you can clip the wires closer
AWS can also do load balancing for you (ELB) which can deal with SSL for ya, and possibly with auto scaling. It allows for deploying containers (fargate).
That is no excuse, a couple of seconds googling for IRIX would explain everything about SGI IRIX.

Apparently searching to confirm if a name is already taken is asking too much on this day and age.
I like DDG because it covers most of my basic search needs. I only use Google when I need services that are related to my location. Searching with Google is becoming less effective for me because the first pages almost always bring up ads or business-related content (like blogs that are sponsoring something or are trying to sell some product or service).
Send me pictures of your build, I love seeing them! I also like to post build photos that come my way on my instagram @pyro.keys (with your permission and credit of course!)

As soon as Alpha wrapped up, I hit about 18 months of really hard work at school so I haven't been able to push anything out with the same polish or at the same scale as Alpha, but I have been messing around here and there.

For one, I've been meaning to make a more premium version of Alpha with SMD components (onboard USB, MCU rather than a through-hole daughterboard).

I worked on a REALLY prototypey split board called Meson: https://imgur.com/a/sfgTTGo supports MX/Alps too.

I just finished a whatever-form-factor-you-want ortho called Legerdemain https://imgur.com/a/yzhf8Am yes, those are breakaway tabs so you can decide the shape of your board before building it.

Hopefully I'll bring most of these to fruition soonish!

That may be the case, but it's also different in different places. I never lived in something which is called a food desert, and had always multiple choices to shop, even in walking distance. From that point of view these coupon- and bonus programs were always ridiculous to me.

Always paying cash. Not even per debit/credit card. Always ignoring any points which are valid for a limited amount of time for the equivalent of colored glass marbles.

Edit: And while paying cash, don't forget switching off your smartphone, or other gadgets which spam their unique identifiers into all sorts of nets.
(Before entering the shop, or even the parking space outside) Or not carrying one to begin with. Sounds crazy?
I don't care. It's very relaxing :-)
Tesco give you an effective 1% discount on some future purchases for using their clubcard at the checkout, that's provided you use the coupons they send you periodically before they expire. I prefer to do as little shopping as possible there and instead shop at the far cheaper German discounter Lidl down the road. They don't have any of that loyalty crap.
> It is effectively a slow ... raw pointer.

In my experience (unless I've misunderstood what you're trying to say) this is the fastest way to write graphs because of how much more cache-friendly it is than having to chase a load of pointers.
There is a community of googologists who study, record and define the largest numbers ever described. If you want to bend your mind a bit around gargantuan numbers I suggest taking a casual walk down their list.

They sell clicks, but non-tracked, non-invasive keyword clicks. Which of course means a search for iphone 11 will have some paid ads to click on.

As they've built their user base on privacy and those unhappy with Google, it's very unlikely the user base would shrug and carry on if DDG switch to Google mode tracking with all the dubious extras of data collection, and retargeting etc. Not that it's going to work though, as DDG have um, DDG search. No platform, no phone, no analytics, home speaker, fonts, domain registry, email etc, ad nauseum. So where to collect the data until they're a FANG monster with a finger in every pie?

So we either see it coming a long time off, or DDG become a privacy focused monster with fingers in lots of privacy aware pies. Or stay as just DDG privacy friendly search.
> how many of them have digital logic experience, especially at the reverse engineering level?

Like programming and reverse-engineering, I taught myself the basics of electrical engineering.

The Neo Geo Pocket's SoC is basically nothing but raw logic circuits for explanations of how things work. Imagine 200 pages of diagrams like this: https://i.imgur.com/2LZ2UWY.png

(oh and as a bonus, the diagrams often contain errors.)

If you're only looking to create a basic emulator, you can mostly get away without knowing all of this stuff by reading tech docs and the source code of other emulators. But if you really want to get low-level and get things clock-cycle accurate, or want to work on a system that's not been well-emulated to date, digital logic pretty much a hard requirement.

> And actually want to do it outside of compensated labor?

From 2004 - 2018 for the SNES, it was mostly only me. As of today, three people.

In general only one person is really needed. I couldn't say if someone else would have taken my place had I not been around. I suspect so, given how popular the SNES continues to be. Whether they would have done a better job of it than I have is a question that often keeps me up at night.

In any case, the answer is certainly "not nearly enough."
I’m thinking of two situations:

- you tapped the “Siri suggestion” result which completely skips the SERP. I hate that “back” doesn’t bring you back to what I typed in the search/URL bar

- I regularly visit The Verge, open a story and then the back button doesn’t take me to the homepage but to the page before it. I blame their crappy JavaScript but maybe we’re experiencing the same thing.
Just sent it to my crossword loving grandparents :)
I find that my non-verbatim searches on Google return mostly garbage, so I'm not sure I would call "please stop displaying garbage" the best feature of Google. Maybe a "last thread" feature. That said, I've recently started switching to DDG.
In my similarly massively distorted worldview, major figures currently don't do the fake protest thing at their trials - that's too easily proved to be fake in a country like Canada with feral journalists and an unrestricted internet. They're got much better things to spend their money on in order to get the result they want.

I wonder, though, if this tactic is much more effective in China; if so, is this actually a far more interesting case of cultural clash, in which someone used to doing this in China (be it with signs, or simply being able to turn out crowds of loyal employees / local cadre / etc ) has brought the same tactics to a different game?
They should invest in a few "smart pricing" partners and offer drivers an option to select from these partners or set the price themselves. Most driers would opt-in to such a program, giving Uber the benefit of lower prices while allowing autonomy to drivers
This is also important. Some type of work need to have certain kind of plan of 'What's Next'. Even a simple checklist will do. Maybe some kind of simple month/week plan.

Some may argue that it may leads to overplanning, but I found that randomly do something everyday just for the sake of doing it but didn't move into the direction of your goal made you felt empty in the long run, because all those time you've spent lead to nothing worthwhile.

For me, the killer feature is DDG's solid keyboard navigation of search results. Google's never worked properly and they eventually removed it.
Well, it seems that our opinions on legibility of visual artifacts differ. It is harder to read, a) because of coarseness of diagrams' elements and b) because of additional mental effort needed to comprehend such an artifact as a whole. This is, of course, somewhat subjective, but I hope that I'm not alone in my qualitative assessment. As for having diagrams in version control, 1) my suggested approaches also allow for that and 2) I think that diffs for text-based diagrams would pretty much not be readable and, thus, of little value.
Voice chat is apparently harder to implement, but it's still possible to do right now with Jitsi [1]. And even without it, Matrix supports an 'opt-in' style of voice channel that should work fine with smaller groups.

Do you know if python or rust have something similar?
Go also doesn't compile as quickly as people make you think. A regular sized project will compile more slowly than a similar sized c# project.
Cruise has been operating a pretty dense fleet continuously in San Francisco for some time. Of course those vehicles have safety drivers, but they’re already facing SF drivers.

Honestly I believe a system trained on so many millions of driving interactions would tend to act like an average good driver in SF, and so would ultimately blend in.
> PHP ORMs in general (compared to say Ruby or Python) are absolutely painful to work with

Which PHP ORMs are you thinking of? I've worked with Doctrine ORM, I would not say it's more painful than SQLAlchemy.
We had one of the pizza box NeXTstations at the UCC[0], at the University of Western Australia, and at one point we also had an IBM workstation (from memory it was PowerPC?) running OpenSTEP. That was in the late 90s/early 2000s.

At that stage there was lots of interesting hardware for us to collect; we had a BeBox, three SGI workstations including an O2, an Alpha workstation and a couple of Alpha based servers.

I dropped in at the UCC not that long ago and sadly, the days of cool interesting workstations seem to be over. It's just PCs now. I guess the energy of design and innovation isn't focused on the desktop anymore, but those days were really cool :)

Just saying with running you might want to take at least a day if not two off for your knees to recover.
You're right, it's assuming Rust is installed since it's talking about updating the compiler. But let's install Rust instead then:

`curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh`

Now you can `rustup install <version>` easily with everything taken care of. Of course, the latest stable release is automatically installed already. And Rust provides automatic install scripts for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Whereas Go is more involved than is expected for any modern language.

I've found that once you fully get this, Rust is actually easier to write code with. Especially refactoring. You can make sweeping changes to complex code and be satisfied that once it compiles it will most likely work.

Fearless refactoring is one of the prime benefits of Rust.
So basically the point of the article is this: there are no perfect tools. Not sure why this article got so much traction.

Yes? Between this and my Amex Blue 6% cashback it's pretty good.

That makes less sense.
The PPUs use static logic and an external 21MHz oscillator (which also powers the CPU), so they're perfect for single-stepping in isolation from the rest of the SNES.

The PPUs themselves output only analog RGB, there's an analog pin for each color channel rather than a digital pin for each color bit.

On some level, I don't doubt it's possible to build a test harness that can automate things based on the analog RGB values with some fuzzy matching, but if we are going that far, it just makes more sense to snoop the bus traffic directly. That would reveal a lot more information and in digital form.
I'd say everyone should pick up languages that are good at different kinds of problems.

I like C for low level stuff.

C#/Java for stable higher level stuff.

Swift/Kotlin for apps.

Cordova for hybrid.

JavaScript for quick prototyping.

JavaScript/jQuery/Bootstrap/Framework7 for web.

MEAN stack for server stuff.

There's plenty of reasons to do otherwise. There's good reason to switch from Cordova to Flutter, for example. Or Java to Kotlin. C to Rust looks like such an example.

But if it's only a 20% improvement, it isn't really worth it. If you are looking for a better web/full stack language, you should know what's best as an experienced dev. What does Go or Python solve better than what you already know?
Yeah burnout sucks. I've been there and it can take a very long time to recover - it's devastating.

It's certainly getting worse in the modern world of knowledge work, not better.

I'm not sure where the idea Go hasn't caught on for databases comes from.

Rust was invented specifically to write a web browser, so that is a bit of an unfair comparison, but I would suggest that Go's lack of seamless inter-op with C is its biggest limiting factor in integrating into existing browser codebases as well as greenfield GUI applications. Additionally, Go's runtime is not well suited to OS development.

I doubt the lack of an advanced optimizing compiler ever crosses anyone's mind as by the time that might become an issue they have already ruled out Go for its many other limitations.
One point solution for almost everything.
I don't know about Python but the standard Rust dependency management solution (Cargo) is extremely similar.
The instant they told about null registers I though "someone has corrupted the stack".

From there enabling ASAN or perhaps even stack-protector (even in Release) should've caught it rather quick... (First context switch, likely resume with exception raised.)

Now seeing a crash in exception handler, that is something. It's rather sad they didn't fix Boost.Context, seems like it could always use more platform ifdefs.
The sad thing is they all are doing it and don't even need you to use any of their "discount cards" or whatever, they can just do credit card correlation with third parties and achieve all the same results without you ever agreeing to it. I compromised and got a card but never signed anything or registered it, so I still get discounts but I can't, for example, enter my phone number (I have to have the card for scanning on me). They are correlating the data anyway so I might as well save a buck or two.

It's always two at a time, you train with a normal counterpart (captain or FO) next to you. But 1 hour isn't very long, although I guess they only need to do some MAX specific maneuvers to deal with the stall characteristics and MCAS. Not a full sim-check.

That article is only about OpenSearch addons from addons.mozilla.org. While I don't see a good reason to remove them, I also don't see a good reason to keep them.

>> The 737 MAX has been grounded since March 2019 after two fatal crashes and cannot return to service until regulators approve software changes and training plans.

My understanding from the previous wave of news was that two planes crashed because they stalled in mid air because their engines were too large and too far forward and that somehow affected the plane's center of gravity... And the solution is a software update? You can't fix hardware problems with software.

I wonder if this is a trend. First Intel and now Boeing... Shipping defective products and then trying to hack together patches on top.

3.5 billion queries for google daily, 54 mil daily record for DDG.
That means that google achieves the daily record for DDG for slightly more than 14 minutes.

AFAIK, Telegram's private conversations are encrypted with private keys stored on device _only_ (not on the server). At least it's what they claim. If true, government requests for data stored on servers are probably not enough.

People don't often talk about https://spectrum.chat/ when it comes to this topic and I don't understand why.
