I'm not sure about the Blackbird specifically, but I've been a few times to the Duxford air show and they always have sign-ups for 'long-retired military plane experience flights'. (And I could be wrong but I don't think it's Duxford-specific - seems like they're companies/organisations that do the rounds of similar air shows here & in North America at least.)

Some of the things I’ll miss about the 747:

The speed. They fly at 580mph cruising. The others are around 550mph. I confirmed this in the IFE.

Cabin pressure. It was higher than the 777 and A380. It just felt better and less headache inducing.

Upper deck. I’m going to miss club world. We travel as a family and it felt so intimate being able to sit together and not packed in like tuna.
Shoelace is using the Shadow DOM. You fundamentally can’t prerender that yet. (Refer to my comment.) I’m a little surprised to see no mention of that in the Stencil docs.
None of these apps are essential even in the developed world where anyone who uses Uber regularly can probably afford a newer iPhone, these apps also run just fine on a 5s/6 which can be found for under $150 without much issues.
Any recommendations from the JIRA haters? I love gitlab but am always wanting a bit more when I use it. Is there an in between?

Woah, slow your roll man, it takes a lot to start a war. And temporary glitches in the market are just that-- temporary glitches. If someone loses their shirt over that they deserve it.

It's not hackers which are the true danger, "legit" people abusing media (whatever it may be) are the threat, a good example would be the Stable Genius.

I did find it choppy, also. I think that's an effect of the scrolling algorithm's acceleration/deceleration, and could be adjusted. There are two effects with scrolling--advancing the page/narrative, and advancing the video. That transition benefits with subtle visual signals.

And, I'm not much into video editing, but I've done a little graphic design practice. I think 'disorientation' is par for the course when you're not playing a video at constant speed. That's an unsettling thought--the webpage authors are taking advantage of the UX's disorientation effect to heighten the emotion of the video content.

I watched all of these videos and they certainly don't need any additional emotive effects. I had the feeling that I was sharing the privileged insight of the 'experts' observations with the narrative callouts and graphics to pace my consumption.

I looked at The NY Times mega page of videos posted earlier. Watching one video after the other was brutal. And it was my own doing. I just jumped from one video to the next. click. click. click. and feeling worse and worse and worse.

Have you ever taken some deliberate time to really „play“ with those?

My recommendation: take a calculator or spreadsheet and start with some simple cases and build up your knowledge in a exploratory manner. A few hours, a session for each feature (flex, grid).

Its not only fun but also really helpful!
I don't disagree that the investment in copper was the wrong decision, but according to that article the minister actually sold his shares to Nixdorf (now Siemens?) immediately before becoming a minister. So I'm not quite sure if this is actually a case of corruption or just a case of being too conservative and incompetent (which is also quite widespread in politics).
Like to think I'm quite positive when it comes to companies putting things out there, but still can't bring myself to trust Twitter's actions when it comes to their API.

I built and sold (albeit for a very tiny sum of money) one of those text-extender mini-blog tools back in the day off the back of the API. It felt easy, clean and part of the ecosystem.

Every action they took degraded that trust. I know they're a business and the data (and primarily their advertising serving and monitoring tech) is their lifeblood, but... fool me once...
Actually, making some things with ML has become really easy, google auto ml image recognition, or the equivalent with azure and amazon gives you a website to upload tagged images and builds a model based on it. If the problem to solve it's not very complicated (let say, room type recognition) it just works. The only problem is if you try to apply that model in volume, prepare for the costs.

In my case, I train my model with them and download to use on our machines without having to touch any ML related code.
by far thr worst part of Deep Learning research is the flood of crappy papers.

Using relative units makes it very easy to scale things. If you use pixels or other absolute units everywhere, you'd have to edit every instance of that, which can range from an annoying chore to being completely unfeasible.

The upsell on browser support is a little misleading. Sure, it’s 94% worldwide supported..but what isn’t mentioned is that the 6% is entirely IE11 and down and that the browser support numbers are inaccurate as they don’t include places like China or sorts where IE spin-offs are extremely common.

A much better way to say it is “supports almost all browsers except IE” it’s accurate (as this does support almost all browsers in the world) while details what may be a major hangup for a business user.
I agree in some sense but I also think that everybody has the right to learn at any level, mainly because not everything in neural networks field is research to create the next optimizer or a new architecture.

This is perfect for the people I work with and the role we have (and I am talking about some of them are PhDs in math and physics but without much CS knowledge). Some of this people just need to see this is a stack of non linear functions that have to be minimized and they grasp the idea of nn really fast.

To me this would be like saying that if you don't know computational complexity theory or how compilers work you are not a good software developer, but I think is just a different level and as long as you don't try to inflate your resume is fine.

Sometimes I feel some fear on AI field when the knowledge is spread, and there is a bunch of backgrounds (maths, physics, quantitative finance, chemistry, ...) that need exactly this to at list demistify nn.

I think Outlook itself is a big reason for why other email clients seem so behind. As a user, Outlook is great and I have absolutely no complaints about it. As a developer that occasionally has to work with the technical side of emails, Outlook is the biggest source of frustration due to its “proprietary” standard of content presentation, address book management, contacts etc. I have to write plenty of code specifically for emails to work with Outlook because they do not follow any open standard and they’ve created their own. And we can’t stay away from it because it’s definitelly the most used client in our field.

Seems like Microsoft is leveraging their position in the same way Google does with browsers and Apple does with hardware.
Well, maybe I got the wrong impression but after reading the (very accessible) Yolo V3 paper [1], it seems to me that even the experts do little real math and lots of guesswork, kicking a model until it starts giving results.

I don't understand why you are getting downvoted. TensorFlow 1.x barely worked and people stuck with it because the alternatives were worse. I moved to PyTorch as soon as I could because it is better than TensorFlow 1.x, TensorFlow 2.x, or Keras w/TensorFlow backend.

TensorFlow is designed by committee and is more of a brand now than a machine learning framework. Did you know there is TensorFlow Quantum?

> It can take relative ages to become familiar with a code base, especially a large one, such that you can easily hop in and commit fixes that actually work. I'm not going to spend hours trying to gain context for the code, or deploying and testing it.

If none of their codebases are easy to jump into, then that might be a red flag in of itself. One thing I suppose I have been lucky about is that I have worked for companies that have some (albeit very minor) open source presence. I'm not talking new features. IMO a small fix to an existing codebase can be as minor as adding a new CLI flag, or lightly modifying some existing behavior. In many cases, it's what you'd give a new intern as their first fix.

> if your fix does work, you just did free work that benefits the company for little to no gain for yourself.

Well the gain is that you learned to work with a real-life codebase. The thesis of my comment is that take-home projects do not often approximate a real life codebase well.
Sadly can't read the article as I don't have a subscription but have followed this in the FT.

Germany has an ultra-protectionist political culture for pet German companies. Wirecard was one such pet company but there are many others who have benefited from implicit state support in the form of lowered standards and private favouritism: Deutsche, VW, Siemens, etc. Wirecard even holds a banking license so should be subject to quite a lot of oversight from the regulator but the head of BaFin ("Germany's SEC" as the headline states) makes the risible excuse that he didn't apply proper oversight to them because they are arguably a "technology company".

Disappointingly there is very little doing. The pan-EU regulator, ESMA, basically is not equipped to properly investigate and censure BaFin - they're really just a standards body similar to the IETF or ANSI. No I can't imagine much will change.

Because whomever was flying the drones might do it again. If they can ascertain who it was and what they were doing, they'll be able to rule out any malicious future intent to their actions.

I'm not sure anybody really wants a number of unidentified flying objects (in their literal sense) in the air at night with noone knowing where they came from or what they might be doing. I don't consider that "unfounded" concern, think it's quite valid on the spectrum of concerns actually.

Seems like a reasonable use of resources to get to the bottom of it (albeit, perhaps not their full-time work). Not every investigation will succeed, and the outcomes can often be that nothing can be done. You can only get to that by doing the work though.

No, it doesn't. Why would you make such an absurd statement? Using a remote node is nothing like using a centralized payment processor. For one thing, they can't gain access to your funds. For another, there are thousands that you can use interchangeably.
> Sure, it's not like Russia or the CCP and you're not in danger of being suicided if you uncover some high level dirt

You are not going to get disappered, but you are in danger of getting a fraudulent "psychiatric diagnosis" if you are a tax investigator uncovering dirt about some politicians or their cronies.[0][1] In this case the investigator got free, but I am sure there are some cases out there of people who didn't got as much publicity. Consequences for the people that instigated this? None! Nothig to see here, move on... And the so called "Psychiatrist" is still free, and had to pay a meagre 200000 in damages.

> lots of people inside and outside of Germany have no idea of how insanely corrupt the German government and their corporate buddies are

Agreed. I used TensorFlow 1.x before PyTorch matured. Today, all of my deep learning is PyTorch based because TensorFlow 2.x didn't fix the core TensorFlow 1.x issues (e.g., poor reproducibility, unintuitive API design) and PyTorch performs better than Keras w/TensorFlow backend.
I just use rem when it needs to be relative to the text size, px everywhere else. This way when you scale the text for accessibility you don't get any clipping.
I'm not 100% certain of how the medical/psychological community would define 'placebo', but I'd argue it's not as simple as this not being a placebo because it's an effective trick.

The fact that placebos are effective is precisely /because/ they're effectively tricking whatever badly-understood connection there is between our thinking and our body. I imagine that there are degrees to this: 'tricking' ourselves to be productive by deciding to clean our house instead would generally not be called a placebo, whereas taking a sugar pill that lifts us out of depression probably would.

But fundamentally they're just the same thing on a spectrum: an improvement as a result of something that we /know/ should not be effective by understood, biological pathways.
Not only is your comment completely unrelated to the issue at hand, but your references are as well.

The slightly one-sided (who would've guessed from UK publication) Guardian article simply ignores the internal issues that the southern European countries have carried around for decades and doesn't even mention the success of the Baltic states (I wonder why).

The NYT article, aside from being 9 years old and written in the context of the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, didn't age well either - especially regarding its prime subject Ireland...

Some of that does have to do with how you configure it. JIRA is a swiss army knife and what you build out of it as a process and ticket management system can look very different from what I build out of it, and they can perform differently depending on how much automation, checks, and guards you put in it.

I think the problem with JIRA is they don't really have a sane default install, it really feels like a bag of parts and then you assemble it. Maybe 2 or 3 opinionated templates that take a process end to end would help people, that just want to get started and that stare into the configurable abyss of JIRA and go "nope just want a ticket system".
That’s only partially true. They could land at any airport that could land a 747. They could not be a regular scheduled flight there. Runways had to be reinforced for the heavier plane. And the terminals needed to be upgraded to accommodate the 2 levels of passenger boarding. There are still relatively few airports that could accommodate scheduled A380 service except a dozen major cities.
This is what they cite as the key benefits:

"A cleaner API that's easier to use, with new developer features like the ability to specify which fields get returned, or retrieve more Tweets from a conversation within the same response

Some of the most requested features that were missing from the API, including conversation threading, poll results in Tweets, pinned Tweets on profiles, spam filtering, and a more powerful stream filtering and search query language "

I really doubt this is what developers have been yearning for in a revamped Twitter API. Previous APIs provided plenty of functionality, it's just that too many of us were burned by the ever-shifting policies around API use. I personally went from envisioning Twitter as the social data pipeline of the web to vowing never to touch it again within the span of one year. I can't believe this announcement wouldn't touch on policy and developer relations at all.
Internet in Ukraine and Belarus was not built in centralized manner, but quite naturally, and in competitive environment. Reasonably most places ended up with fiber where it was possible. Monopolist telecoms were not prepared and were overpowered by enthusiasts overcoming communication obstacles in any imaginable way, including legal quirks and vacuum at that time.

Nothing good can be expected when central gotv starts to "innovate".

No. While there may be a "last straw" event that precipitates the war, it take a lot of build up to lead to it.

Not only MDMA (which is probably not prescribed by anyone yet) like /u/weknowbetter said, but also other stuff that has shown promise in treating depression (and has actually worked for other people). Imipramine (not really good long term), CBD, low dose THC, ketamine, gabapentin, there's some others, too.

Gabapentin works really well for me, though I have to stop taking it for a week every month, so that's 2-3 days of insomnia and nightmares. Technically I'm not supposed to, but then I'd have to increase the dosage to what I consider unacceptable levels. Tapering off also works, though.

CBD/THC (only with a low dose of alcohol) also works well, but I don't like the side effects (lower mental acuity, plus my already bad attention goes rock bottom), so it's more of an occasional thing.

Doctors are really inflexible in what they can give me, so I have to make do. SSRI's just don't work on me, except for imipramine, but that's really temporary.
As simple rule of thumb an employer in the EU has to pay roughly double the net salary amount, so on top of the salary pocketed by the employee yet another similar amount goes to taxes. The education/insurance aren't "free", they're just managed better and give more direct benefits to the taxpayer.
Guttenberg had to resign because his doctoral thesis was full of plagiarism. Even the introduction was plagiarized - but with small changes that made it clear that an attempt had been made to hide the plagiarism.

Guttenberg's public image rested on the idea that he was a morally upright, well composed, competent businessman, along with his noble lineage and family castle. The revelations about his thesis destroyed his credibility.

This is rather different from financial corruption of the sort hinted at in this article.
