X-Plane's flight model is decent though obviously things like turbulence, left-turning tendency at takeoff, and behavior during eg; crabs and front-slips could always be more realistic.

If you're going for extreme realism IMO one of the best tools out there is Pilot's Edge (https://www.pilotedge.net/). Real air traffic controllers tower some airspace (currently california) and it lets you practice things like getting flight following, IFR clearances, taxi instructions, etc. without burning $150/hr (cessna 172) (+$60/hr instruction) to practice radio work in your private pilot or instrument training.

Works with X-Plane and MS Flight Simulator X (though I'm sure when 2020 comes out it'll be supported).

It doesn't have to be intelligence but really dissent in general. Check out the Hundred Flowers Campaign where Mao and the Chinese Communist Party encouraged debate and general criticism of the regime.. and then a few months later, rounded up all the dissenters and disappeared them into labor camps.

> MSFS was Bill Gates' pet project. He loved it, and even though it was a money losing division

It's true that it was Bill's pet project.

But it was one of the best-selling PC games for 20 years and sold millions of copies, so "money-losing" is unlikely - maybe in a weird enterprise accounting way. It's also a useful standard game for their games division.

Also, MS could probably get the DoD to fund all development. MSFS was used in a lot of military sims over the years, so it's a useful thing beyond gaming. (Lockheed resold MSFS for several years during the hibernation, calling it "Pr3par3d.")

If you look at AW&ST around 2000, you can spot MSFS being used for terrain generation in full-page ads for military sims.

MSFS is one of the most underrated software products of all time. Even with MSFS5, I was able to get my IFR rating in the minimum amount of instruction time. I would call it the first true virtual reality product.
I truly do not think it's a lie. Not sure why you think it's a thrill. It's saved me hundreds of hours, if not more.

It's certainly faster to use jQuery to change a CSS attribute than it is to setup a React project but what's not considered in that calculation is maintaining the state of that attribute or making changes to the logic in the future. Especially on code you didn't write originally.

If all you have to do is validate a form, sure, use jQuery if that's your cup of tea. But I would still rather use something like React because I know I'm less likely to write buggy code or introduce a regression in the future. To each their own though.
My subjective counter-take: "modern web" is fine and where it lacks it is improving over time. React/Vue/Angular/Webpack are clear improvements over what came before despite the learning curve, which is obviously much overblown considering all the hand-wringing over n00bs using React for their blog.

React is not to blame because someone used it to build a blog, but it's also ok not to make an SPA. It's also ok to filter JavaScript out of your job search so you never have to build an SPA ever again. Lastly, the best part about "the Modern Web" is that the 20 year old approach to building web pages still works just fine, fire up NotePad++ and have it.

Node is best-suited for when your API itself does very little CPU work. When it serves mainly as a task-delegator to a DB, other APIs, local disk I/O, etc. All of these are non-blocked by JS and automatically handled by underlying native code in parallel. The main advantage of Node compared to Go is that your front- and back-end can be in the same language, which helps with hiring and can even allow for code-sharing.

That said I don't think Node would ever match Go on raw performance, even in its wheelhouse. It's all about tradeoffs.
Out of curiosity, which country is that (if you're comfortable sharing)? That's a surprising policy I'd not heard of before.
I hate collective kumbayas like this. Moms, dads, pets, god, children...birthdays, wedding days, anniversaries, Valentine’s Day...these celebrations are crude and unnecessary. If it’s something or someone one treasures, one ought to keep such celebrations about that private.

Isn’t anything sacred anymore that it can’t be made into a hallmark card moment or be up on social media?

There are so many people out there..And everyone’s life circumstances are different. I find this..how you say..not socially classy and utterly clueless.

Keep it private. No one cares. Or rather..no one should care. That is true freedom.
IPFS also has none of the anonymity. So it's a tradeoff.
To be fair, at the time we were trying to implement the print world on computer screens.

People (i.e. stakeholders) weren't used to responsive text and images yet. They wanted to tell the pixels on a web page precisely what to show.

Yeah, it's not just emails of course. You can do it with web traffic data. You can do it with credit card data. You can do it with geolocation data. You can do it with TV viewing data.
Sort of off-topic but I realized the other day that the transition from active contributors to passive consumers is when online gaming went off the rails for me. When people managed the online servers there was always an admin around to kick bad actors and to set the tone for that particular server. When you found a good one you saved it because you knew you would always get quality time there.

Matchmaking killed that.

I don’t think game publishers realized they were essentially firing a free workforce that was making their online play great. I think private servers is one of the reasons Minecraft has such staying power.
People who are slow to criticize seem wise to me. Maybe they've seen similar situations before, they might have ideas about an optimal outcome.
You'd presumably get in trouble because legality is only part of the equation, the other part is how big/powerful you are and whether you have connections in the right places.

Big companies can get away with crimes while the same thing would result in successful prosecution if a little guy does it, so you might very well get in trouble even though you're doing exactly the same thing as an existing company that manages to stay out of trouble.

I however support your idea regardless of its legality (and especially if the data happens to contain details on politicians, the majority of which are responsible for the situation being as-is) and suggest you publish it anonymously (through Tor).
We have a lot of tools built to interact with files. A legacy of multiple decades on Unix.

Using that same file "metaphor" to describe resources other than actual blobs to be stored on disk, is surprisingly powerful.

Something which plan9 (& inferno) explored in great depth, and is quite the eye-opening experience. Not much point rehashing the same args again here. If you're interested, check out some youtuve vids, and enjoy the deep dive into an alternative future.

To get something similar on more mainstream OS's, try plan9port and Acme (usually described as an "editor", but its more of a tmux and terminal replacement, which also happens to be able to edit and save text files)

Obama ordered drone strikes on Americans. Reagan ran Iran-Contra. Kennedy tried to invade Cuba. FDR tried to grow the Supreme Court to 13.

A better approach would be for the federal government as a whole - yes, all three branches - to reign in their power so that there's less power to abuse. The odds of that are zero.

I created a Notion doc (instead of in my huge Evernote notebook, and right after abandoning workflowy and right before I discovered Roam...) to list out all the productivity methods I’ve tried and ones I have yet to try. After several hours, I had listed dozens and dozens of tactics I’ve tried with specific examples of how I used them. I had not been faithful to any of them for longer than six months.

This stresses me out. Is there something wrong with me? Do I have some problem with my “internal authority”? Maybe bucking it so many times and so often is contributing to its influence on me...

Wish I had time to comment on all your points.

Central logging efforts with chronicle/sentinel always result in a ton of data loss. On prem is cheap and works well. Elastic/Graylog solve this well. Whether it is sentinel,chronicle or so many of the others in this market, they simply don't and never will know your environment well enough. This will always stab you in the back with the double edged sword of a) losing contextual detail that would have let you make better decisions b) Losing control over data transformation and detection/alerting logic,which means they do too good of a job in suppressing false positives that you miss bad stuff,they generate too many false alerts that waste precioud man hours,many of which could be tuned out(the bureaucracy of a 3rd party,even with admin access to their rules will always be crippling).

In short, my opinion is that you need a fast failing and agile seceng(devsecops?) cycle where you have all the data (logs and enrichment) at your disposal. Your people that spend a lot of time juggling false positives could instead contribute to this, which will result in good alert fidelity and more free time for threat research and hunting! (The fun stuff!!)
Checks and balances by a theoretically adversarial party to ensure no misuse/abuse of the system, much like what a judge is supposed to do in the case of issuing a traditional search/seizure warrant.

It seems like you're aware that the FISA court just rubber stamps everything, so resultantly it might as well just not exist because it's simply a farce to make it seem legitimate by invoking the term "court". You're right in pointing out that a second FISA "court" judge would not make any difference.

Ultimately though, even oversight would not solve the problem of the fact that they should just be getting warrants for doing police surveillance in the first place. The bar to getting a federal judge to sign off on any technical mumbo jumbo ("IP address this, ISP that") is hilariously bad/low and they amount pretty much to rubber stamps already. The mind reels when you think that they set up a special fake court simply to avoid that.

Phoronix.com has a lot of Clang benchmarks over the years.

I recall seeing some benchmark that showed that as Clang approached GCC in performance of compiled output, the compile speed also went down to approach GCC levels.

But I haven't managed to find that exact benchmark yet.
Nice, reading through the epoll implementation shouldn't it re-register to make sure the send() call won't block? Looks like it only non-blocks on the accept socket and then a single read register

iOS Shortcut to Circumvent Paywalls
This is terribly useless for anyone else. I’d go so far as to say it is not, in fact, a data point for anyone.

- 65 days is a very very short time to be on the market

- the coding interview experience of this applicant and requirements of the companies appears to be far more lax than most experiences in tech hiring

- it took place right around the pandemic / unemployment / layoff time period which is a nasty confounder to everything

- it focuses a lot on start-ups

- doesn’t give specifics on negotiation or salary numbers

It seems like a fine write-up and all, it’s just critical to emphasize this experience is not translatable to other people. If your experience happened to be similar to this, total coincidence. If you’re trying to predict a future hiring experience for yourself, this won’t offer you that.

If you just want to read about someone else’s experience knowing it won’t be related to yours for any reason aside from coincidence and don’t mind it is light on specific salary details, this is fine.

It's amazing really all of the plants that originated from indigenous Mexican cultivation. Corn, tomatoes, chili peppers, squash, chocolate, vanilla, avocado, and more! The fact that Italians didn't have peppers nor the Irish having potatoes until after columbus always blows my mind.

Guys, partially related but, I would like to upgrade my workstation at home for running this when it gets released. Do you have a best value GPU in mind to recommend for running this at an acceptable fps?

I have been out of the gaming scene with PC so your thoughts are welcome!

Also, what kind of controller for PC is the recommended?
- no PC simulator feels anything like a real small airplane, but that's not really the main issue, which is:

- learning flying yourself means you will probably learn the wrong procedures, that a CFI would correct. For example, if you're not flying a landing pattern, your landing procedure is wrong. So use a real 172 checklist, POH and flight maneuver procedures. Also how to handle ballooned landings.

I think you can apply this same principle to so many areas of hobbies. As soon as you get more involved and be more of a creator than just sitting there and letting everyone else do things for you, you get so much more out of the experience.
>Keep it private. No one cares. Or rather..no one should care. That is true freedom.

This.

I dare say I find it offensive that the post is asking me to do something that might very well be irrelevant, hurtful, useless, and all in all detrimental to my mental well being. I don't know why people generalize things like this.
I’ve never used React, but I spent years fighting with Angular, and it seemed like all downside with no upside - I kept expecting the upside to become apparent eventually, but it never materialized... it just made site development take longer, crash more mysteriously, and run slower. Is React really “better” than Angular? That is, does it actually do anything?
> there is no malicious piece of hardware that the attacker tricks you into using

> All the attacker needs is 5 minutes alone with the computer, a screwdriver, and some easily portable hardware.

Just started reading, but the comparison is already a little bizarre. It almost seems like the digital version of "This murderer is on the loose and you're in danger! He doesn't need to inject poison into your food. All he needs is just 5 minutes in front of you with a knife!"
Do them all; all the ideas. If your body says stop, you know it's not the right way. If it still feels right after 2-3 days, it's probably right.

I also found that a spreadsheet with:

| difficulty | est. time | benefit
idea 5 5 5
idea 3 2 4
idea 2 1 2
idea ...
idea

... helps cutting out a lot of undesirable long term ideas.

Make you own columns but basically it's about managing time, risk, feasibility and potential outcome.

HTH.

> I sometimes wonder if the people claiming to hate client-side technologies or disable JS in their browsers have actually ever had to build a complex website to put food on their table. My bet is the answer is often no, or they are a contrarian in general.

Anyone who cares about privacy allows minimal JS etc. Especially if they're using Tor. And given Tor's high latency and low bandwidth, sites that require lots of client-server dialogue, and/or push lots of data, are a pain to use.

And yes, I've never built complex websites. Just static HTML. Because mostly they've been Tor onion sites, and that's what works best for them.
It isn't me being worried about doing projects, it is the lack of a workout schedule. Many people choose sports, like climbing, because it is easier to convince themselves to workout. Having a good workout routine is a big part to mental and physical health.

If I argue the point using that analogy, someone is bound to take it the wrong way.

If people keep seeing signs of apocalypse for 30 years, they always say the same things, the apocalypse never comes, and there's a simple alternative explanation, that weakens the case for apocalypse, no? At a minimum the burden is on 2020 to show how the same perception now is more objective than it was in 2010, or 2008 for that matter, when people were also saying this. The simple explanation is that internet users always perceive things this way.

I see this everywhere in programming, not just frontend. I think this silent peer pressure influences us all to some degree. Whether through not wanting to look outdated or foolish, to just being tired of the uphill battle involved constantly fighting against the unstoppable momentum of the cargo cult.
Minimalistic Quantum Computation
They have no power to change it and no credible alternatives.

Apple and Google create systems that make it possible to harvest data with no user control possible. Neither provide the ability to see or stop data leaving your mobile device.

They do this so they can attract developers to their platform.

They do provide "controls" to prevent some sort of data access to prevent mindful users from leaving the platform.

It's just that the control have the same sort of ambiguity as a privacy policy. Many people still don't understand that "location services" really means two-way, or that bluetooth can be a proxy for very fine-grained location tracking.

I hope that we finally get alternative phones (say pinephone or purism) because I firmly believe there's a HUGE market opportunity for this sort of thing.
non-entity is right, we do not exist in a free market, due to government intervention through regulations.

It's not simply 'some' businesses that are forced to shut down, it's non-essential businesses where the majority of the work cannot be done from home.

It is true that 'some' businesses are still operating, but this has more to do with the industry sector they've chosen to operate in, or lack of physical constraints (if non-essential), than policy based on favoritism or even arbitrariness.

There are always 'privileged elites' benefiting from contemporary market conditions within a capitalist economy. You would have to count a lot of small business owners who work hard in essential industries as privileged elites to justify your statement, which, obviously most small business owners are not elites on this planet.

> would you all be prepared to give up 100% of your wages and live in a communist society until the lockdown has been lifted?

No.

Are you aware of the magnitude of the additional money, resources, and genuine force it would cost to convert our entire society to anything resembling 'Marxism'? There is theory out there that a highly developed and mature capitalist system can gradually ease into socialism, but that if the conversion is attempted before the system is ready, there will absolutely be bloody revolution. In your scenario, how will the government force every individual and business to give all of their profits up? By force, presumably.

As an aside, there are many conceivable 'flavors' of socialism, each with their own themes and attributes. Most of them do not need to be filed under 'Marx'.

Hope this helps.

What would it take to have a Thunderbolt/USB C condom? You know, like those standard USB adapter that just drops the data leads on a usb charger to make attacks like this impossible. Maybe we would have to implement a hardware switch on the device itself?

I'm not going to feel safe charging with a public use charger until I find some way to insure only power and not data is making it to my device. Even POE feels like it's safer than modern peripheral standards right now.
