Is it smart that there is still a pilot in the plane? I mean, it's 2020 and this plane will probably not be built in large numbers for another few years. Are human pilots still better than computers?

I would think a plane could be lighter and react and maneuver more rapidly, pull more Gs, if there was no human inside.
Imagine a Beowulf cluster of these comments.
> Similarly, if a person is walking around punching people due to a combination of random and deterministic factors (no free will), do you ignore them?

I will ask why they are punching people and might join if cause is valid. I'm not yet convinced if we have free will or not, whole concept looks a little meaningless when you look at it too closely.

They became lead because they worked many hours first few weeks and had good technical skills. Not because their behavior would be reasonable from any other aspect.
Ah, you're right, I didn't actually read through the alarmist stuff to see that he was referring to MITM proxies that actually install their own roots on your machines. Now I'm amused at the idea that there could be some off the shelf MITM proxy out there that simply does content editing to replace any occurrences of the FP of the real cert they're MITM'ing with the FP of the cert they generated for you on the fly. :D

When I saw the alarmist stuff about knowing the cert fingerprints for certain sites a priori, I thought he'd invented a crazy ad hoc version of cert pinning and just rolled my eyes.
WSL2 ist real Linux :-) I switched from Linux to Windows (company policies ... ), and WSL2 so far works great for me. You can easily run a Linux desktop. Check for Kali Linux s "kex". latency of a native Linux desktop is certainly better, but there's hope that MS will fix this. IIRC native wayland support is in the works.
THIS ! As a "professional" you owe it to yourself, to spend some time and actually learn you tools ! Not just "how to get by" but actually schedule time in your week to learn about the tool ! Shortcuts etc !
I’m definitely not an expert, but I barely see any reason for the next fighter jet to be manned instead of remote piloted.
Not an easy sell in my experience, windows people think it’s strange to install an archaic C build system as an add-on. And some people even git in cmd. It’s just not easy to get people on board with it.
>> your feed only shows things from the people you follow

This is untrue. It used to be the case but now Twitter shows content from people I don't follow based on actions taken by people I follow. Although everyone I follow only ever tweets things I'm interested in they like tweets I have no interest in (which get randomly shown in my feed) and they follow people I have no interest in (which gets randomly shown in my feed). This has driven my away from Twitter. I try to block the latest news/trends/outrage online because it's generally fleeting (and if it's not I will find out through friends) but Twitter now makes this impossible and it makes the service so much less enjoyable I regularly consider deleting my account.

Edit: If anyone knows a solution to this please let me know. If tried a well known trick to mute certain strings but it doesn't seem to work anymore.
It still doesn't even make sense when you know about Windows subsystems though. True, it is a "Windows subsystem" in Windows terminology, but from my native-English speaker point of view, it's not "for" Linux in the way that the word "for" is used in standard English.

It does work if you assume it's a shortening of something like "Windows Subsystem for Running Linux Applications (on Windows)"

But I get that naming it is a tricky problem, because even a technically accurate name like "Windows Linux Subsystem" (after the old 'Microsoft POSIX Subsystem' name) is still confusing.
so swift is going cross platform, what would be the final size of executable and how much ram would it take to run as compared to electron? Can we say there's a slight possibility that devs would prefer swift over electron for desktop apps?
On the other hand, these planes will eventually have 0days

it's not that simple is it? I've been programming for ~40 yrs. I've used a bunch of different editors. I certainly don't know each feature of each one but many features I find to be force multipliers so ignoring them is a disadvantage IMO. I'll be wasting my time doing something manually the could be automated for example.

Unfortunately it's hard to know how to configure every editor and know how to get these time saving features.

A few I get from VSCode (love to hear about other editors)

1. the best Javascript support via integration with eslint

Eslint's plugin system means I get react specific hints and error messages. I'm not used to an editor giving me library related errors. Usually they only give language related errors

2. codespell plugin

This only matters for dynamic languages but it turns out spell checking code can be surprisingly useful. The language it self can't tell me

person.name = `${entry.firstName} ${entry.lastNane}`;

is wrong but codespell will highlight `lastNane`

ps: I get that's bad code ;)

3. opening folders

Lots of people mention this but it's arguably a killer feature. I can't believe that it took until now for an editor to have this. Most previous editors I've used to had to go through the process of making some kind of project to get similar functionality. If I wanted to easily search and replace in a project across files I had to make a project or configure stuff. If I wanted it to find references to other files I'd have to make project or configure stuff. vsc seems to find these things with no work on my part.

4. pretty good file support (renaming and moving files, including the required code refactoring to go with it). Every IDE-ish editor I've used since the early 90s has had some kind of file tree panel but VSC's is the first one I use regularly for more than just opening files.

5. friction-less easily discoverable plugins

I think this is overlooked but consider the Apple iOS app store vs Windows CE. I could install apps on my 1998 Casio Windows CE PDA but it wasn't friction-less like the App stores today are. That difference is huge. Every editor I've used since the 80s has been customize-able but I rarely looked for other people's customizations. It was just too much work. Not only did I have to learn how to install them and get them to run I had to go manually find them. VSC suggests them. I get that can be annoying but given low-discoverablilty or a few annoying notifications I think promoting them is a net win.

That said, I hate that VSC is slow! I work on quite a few hobby projects where I just want to put all the code in 1 file. At about 1000s lines VSC starts acting up, getting janky (on a 12core 64gig ram AMD Ryzen 9 3900XT) and eventually I'm forced to split the file. Sure, better organization is good but my tools shouldn't be forcing it on me when I'm just making something throwaway.
Both work fine with WSL2 There's special support for VS code for WSL. E.g. using the editor on windows for development within WSL is pretty seamless.
Been fine, I have noticed others with terrible results. My best guess is that large email provides use domain age. So new domains have terrible problems with delivery. My domain is many years old.
No, he was totally stumped, did not speak with me that evening and later said that he still doesn't know why I hit him. We were drunk at the time and philosophical discussions between drunk people are rarely valuable in my experience.

Let me impart some wisdom, having taught myself to sew just about every possible fabric I could get my hands on chasing this particular dragon: Gloves will never work for consumer haptics. If you're putting fabric on the palm or under fingers you're doing it wrong.

I could see it being odd, but is it that different than getting an au pair in the US and having the agency send you a list of potential candidates?

I mean, it is odd and probably uncomfortable doing it in person, but the process is the same.
sounds like my company: any windows machine is infested with a dozen or so McAffee things that make it unworkably slow. But none of the drones that role out McAffee has ever touched linux or osx, they prefer to leave that alone. So even though I actually prefer windows as a desktop OS, I mostly worked on a MacBook (until the pandemic, now I WFH on a my personal windows machine). But since WSL2 is finally backported to whichever outdated windows my corporate laptop runs, it is actually quite usable with VSCOde/remote containers + docker
You either really missed out on something when learning Chinese or you are in for a realization in Japanese. (Probably you just simplified your explanation)

The problem with Japanese kanji vs Chinese Hanzi is not just that Japanese has two (or more) common readings for every character, it’s that they don’t follow the phonetic element to nearly the same degree as Chinese.

In Chinese you really do have a fighting Chinese of reading a word out loud that contains never by you seen before characters.

In Japanese you will regularly come across names consisting only of known to you characters and you will still have no chance of knowing how to read them out loud.

But I totally agree with your main point: Japanese is not as difficult as it’s reputation will lead would be learners to believe but it does have some road blocks (mainly the writing system) that will stand in the learners way.
I think a "Let me check my schedule" or a "Send me more details" makes more sense in cases where you don't know whether you want to do it.

This makes people aware your time is limited, makes them do at least a little bit before they get (or don't get) your time and gives you time to decide with a little bit distance.
Sort of. I can't comment on Kotlin, but Swift is a different beast though. Swift's generics are very different from say c#, java or even c++ templates, especially when you mix them with protocol associated types, which are also sort of, but not exactly generics.

In Elements we spent a lot of time on getting it right, and I think we have most edge cases covered for user code. The way generics are used in the Swift runtime library seems impossible to map perfectly on top of the concept of generics as C# has them though.
Computers are unlikely to be able to completely autonomously decide what target to shoot, but remote piloting should not be an issue.
lol no they didnt.
In reality what they announced was a new battery cell with 16% higher energy density, and a new version of their supercar/Model S that costs way more than $100k. Thats impressive and great for their cars but in not way makes ICE cars obsolete.

Most other things was Elon making claims. People have learnt over the years that Elon's claims can not be trusted. Sometimes he delivers, but often he doesnt or at least way way behind schedule.
What worked well for me so far is asking "why" and "what do you want to achieve" (in the business domain, not technically), almost until it hurts, taking the client by the hand and walking slowly backwards together until we have a common understanding of what the real task is. Many times it was buried under layers of semi well thought out "solutions". The hard part is building trust that you really want to solve the problen together and not let the client lose face.

I can wholeheartedly second your last paragraph!
Maybe this is not the right place to ask, but I've tried to googled it without success. I use VSCode and Geany and code mostly Go,HTML/JS(svelte),Php and some python.

I love them both, but would like some unity between them :)

Does anyone have a theme-file for Geany that mimics VSCode's look and colors ?

my impression is that all browsers are pretty greedy about memory for the first few dozen tabs. once you get to hundreds of tabs, the serious optimizations and compressions kick in so that the per-tab memory use curtails drastically. but i'm no expert in this area, just a user.

Reading PDF files is certainly a nightmare. But you can easily produce a valid and simple pdf file just by printf-ing whatever needs to be printf-ed. There's an ugly header and the rest is essentially your text.
I'm not an expert either, but I suspect the reason is that you don't want your primary means of force projection left susceptible to network interruptions.

If there's a pilot in the cockpit and the data fusion network goes down, the pilot can still stay in the fight.
Kurzgesagt is an amazing group and their videos are fantastic. I’m a huge fan. So I try to support them anyway I can. The app is really cool too.
It means "summit, zenith, peak, pinnacle" and has a history of being used as a business name that doesn't convey much more than "the best". It has the advantage of showing up early in alphabetical listings (like phone books) but seeming more sophisticated than, say, "A Plus" or "AAA". So in mid 20th century America, "Acme" would be an obvious choice for a generic company name. According to Chuck Jones, that's why it was used in Looney Tunes:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acme_Corporation#Warner_Brothe...

Most recent uses of "Acme" are probably influenced by Looney Tunes.

ETA: In case it's not clear, it's not an acronym/initialism, although it's sometimes confused with one or given meaning as a bacronym.
Watch out for saying no. People you work with learn what things you will say no to and rephrase the question to avoid a let down or start asking the wrong question and then misquoting themselves later. This becomes a cat and mouse game of trying to determine what people’s intent really is. Humans are built for deception.

I tend to respond with “let me sit down and think about this” then send them an email with their question and my answer. That gives both parties an opportunity to defend a position later or be honest about what the intent was as it’s amazing who emails get forwarded to when there’s a disagreement.

Your final statement is completely missing the huge swath of research intelligence and advancements we have now compared to February. Even if removing the spike is not possible, moving it to a time with better knowledge of the virus or even a vaccine will reduce spike of deaths quite a bit.

I enjoy watching terrace house, and I think that is much closer to real life conversation I’ve had than any anime or variety show. I also feel that many dramas are pretty down to earth in how characters speak.

Anime is by far the most over the top, but I do find variety to also be over the top. Or maybe I’ve only been looking at the comedy ones.

Do you have any recommendations?

He is polarizing because some people think he is perpetuating what to them is “wrong think”, sadly that notion comes primarily form the more left leaning people in society, the amount of times I’ve heard him described as Alt-Right and thinking really?

What Joe reminds me is of is the era of old school broadcasting where you had giants like Mike Wallace who were willing to interview pretty much anyone of note.

And while Joe’s format is pretty much free form rather than researched guided interview it’s very different than what you have on the media today where you have essentially people form only one side of the spectrum or worse the BBC style of “balance” where on each subject they’ll get the two biggest loons they can find to balance eachother out.

IDGAF that Alex Jones was on his show I didn’t watch that episode because he doesn’t interest me, just like I didn’t watch the episodes with Abby Martin who’s pretty much the left wing version of Jones.

With modern weapons if the network is interrupted the pilot is just as useless.
A club might go elsewhere for a pool or track, but I don't think it's at all common for a plain old PE class to go off campus except perhaps to use a gym if the school lacks one. And I don't think having your own pool is very common for a high school or below.
I prefer IntelliJ to VS Code but for me IntelliJ also lacks the ability to:

Disable plugins on a per-project basis. (I currently put up with plugin exception reports for other language plugins in projects for unrelated languages.)

Enable or update plugins without a full restart. (This is getting better but many plugins still need a full restart.)

Sync all plugin settings (for example, AceJump plugin settings aren’t synced).

Split the terminal pane horizontally.

Open a file in a vertical split from the navigator or search everything box. (I want to believe I missed an easy way to do this; someone let me know if so!)

Set alpha keyboard shortcuts in quicklists.

Style the title bar colour on macOS to match the editor background.

Write a quick script to add missing IDE functionality without boilerplate or build tooling.

Add a command line run configuration. (There are workarounds but the original feature request remains open after 7 years: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-112256 )

I can do all of these in vim and Emacs and most in VS Code.

They’re nitpicks and no editor or IDE is perfect. I think I feel the pain points with IntelliJ more acutely because for many of these I can’t fix them myself.

Why would you bid any amount at all? I don't understand why the rich person would be incentivized to bid. Let both bid zero and skip the lawyers.

And wouldn't this be a great way for lawyers to earn lots of fees by encouraging poor people to sue rich people.

Much simpler is simply get rid of personal lawyers. The adversarial model is not the only option. You can do like small claims court and have the judge act as a truth finder.

The court could hire a lawyer if the judge feels that assistance is needed (for complex cases).
Based on the acts he performs he is probably in better shape than most 18 year olds and for sure better than most 30 year olds.

At this point his movies are what crazy stunts can I get the studio to pay for today.
Yes, despite Fair Vote's claim IRV doesn't solve the issue of spoilers. Despite the 100+ years of experimentation and despite the math. I'm always confused why there isn't a bigger push for methods like Approval and STAR. They are dead simple and solve the issues. The conspiracy theorist in me (joking) says its because it would actually change things where IRV won't.
The UK, famously, has this too. There are numerous accents present which have very small and clear boundaries.

You can hear different accents after walking only a mile or two away to the next village, or the other half of a city.

Oddly fascinating, and something I really miss now I've moved to a different country - a country which to my ears sounds very much like there are only a couple of accents.
The products themselves are often very interesting. The next step in consideration is whether they are fit for purpose, though. Google have made a reputation for themselves for abandoning their products/services, but at the same time anyone pragmatic will realise that they won't abandon everything they launch. So if you're interested in taking up a Google product, you will then consider whether it's one of the products/services that they are likely to continue supporting or not.

I think it's highly predictable. Where in their org does it fit, how much have they invested in it, how big is the opportunity, etc.
"Roper declined to comment on how many prototype aircraft have been flown or which defense contractors manufactured them. He wouldn’t say when or where the first flight occurred. And he refused to divulge any aspect of the aircraft’s design — its mission, whether it was uncrewed or optionally crewed, whether it could fly at hypersonic speeds or if it has stealth characteristics."

We don't even know that there was a pilot. All we know is that a jet aircraft was produced in a fairly rapid timeframe.

Show HN: Johariapp – For individuals to track their performance on Johari Window
Not unexpected, but sad. They've rallied the internet to cheer for them, and then sold to the highest bidder. After that billion dollar investment, MS is now holding OpenAI where it hurts. Is that just the nature of startups that try to do too much, too soon? Does this deal seem more of a sellout than it really is? Was the goal always to make a huge pile of cash and not actually figure out software that was going to save the world? It's hard to say. I've just got more questions than answers.
i don't know or (in this case) care what would be different. (and i say that as a fan of RCV and similar).

i'm just tired of people positing counterfactual worlds, and assuming whatever tiny little change they make will have no ramifications except for the one that they want. it is sloppy thinking.
It doesn’t have to be connected via the internet. Directed radio channel to the base can be made reliable against these attacks.
