There are different kinds of "relaxed stability", largely depending on which axes of the aircraft are affected, and the magnitude of the instability.

Longitudinal stability is something of a special case, in that essentially all swept-wing aircraft are vulnerable to "Dutch roll" instability and are generally fitted with yaw dampers. Since such stabilizers are, practically-speaking, omnipresent, regulators are OK with using them in what is now a well-understood domain. While it can be unpleasant, all of these aircraft can be flown with a failed yaw damper - notably the 707 family has a particular proclivity for yaw instability, and while almost all civilian users opted for the yaw damper, the largest fleet user, the USAF, did not fit their KC-135s with dampers until well into their service life.

For good reason, pitch instability is a much more serious issue, and there has been very little interest in trying to bring to market a transport aircraft that required active pitch stabilization. Many, if not all, modern clean-sheet airliner designs are fly-by-wire due the the safety, performance, and efficiency improvements to be had, but they are all safely flyable in an "alternate law" (or equivalent) fallback mode.

Combat aircraft, generally speaking, aren't certified aircraft (they have no need be), for good reason - if you're flying a modern fighter and the FBW computers die on you, it's over, you eject. Understandably, that's not an option in a transport aircraft.

...and if you’re creating a new class library today, you also need to understand how UWP and .NET 5 fit into the picture!

I’m not complaining too much, they are intentionally addressing this fragmentation, but it’s a real mess for newcomers.
It is a bit sad that so-called "native AOT" was not included in the release. When I heard last year that .NET 5 would support single-file binary, I expected it to be the same as something like Rust or Go would offer. But no, Microsoft changed the meaning of AOT and moved the goal post, introducing the real AOT as "native AOT". Thankfully they are aware of the issue, so I hope to finally see in when .NET 6, which will also be an LTS release, is released.

For this case of temporarily lowering access rights to avoid user loading unauthorized files, by only setting effective user id (EUID) (or filesystem user id (FSUID), though its use should be avoided nowadays) instead of real user id (RUID) like the code did. And same for group id.

I have to agree with Xeronate on this one, a lack of generics makes writing business logic in Go quite annoying. Generics and the monad-esque values it enables make it much easier to model your logic properly.

I like Go for services that just need to push bytes around to various places but otherwise it does get quite tedious for complex logic.

That's more recent, to be honest. When I started reading HN, it was very very libertarian (but mostly non-political).

As it's grown bigger, it's started to reflect the demographics of software/data/professional people, with a bias towards the West Coast of the US.

That's presumably what you mean by the liberal tech groupthink (note that disliking Trump does not make one a liberal, which is a mistake a lot of conservatives have made over the past four years).

Anandtech did a write-up and concluded:
“ Apple claims the M1 to be the fastest CPU in the world. Given our data on the A14, beating all of Intel’s designs, and just falling short of AMD’s newest 5950X Zen3 – a higher clocked Firestorm above 3GHz, the 50% larger L2 cache, and an unleashed TDP, we can certainly believe Apple and the M1 to be able to achieve that claim.

This moment has been brewing for years now, and the new Apple Silicon is both shocking, but also very much expected. In the coming weeks we’ll be trying to get our hands on the new hardware and verify Apple’s claims.

Intel has stagnated itself out of the market, and has lost a major customer today. AMD has shown lots of progress lately, however it’ll be incredibly hard to catch up to Apple’s power efficiency. If Apple’s performance trajectory continues at this pace, the x86 performance crown might never be regained.”

Fair enough, those two airframes are inexplicably expensive. Some discussions hint at satellite-grade sensors as a factor.[1] But they are also <= 25% of the UAV inventory, much as F-22's aren't the bulk of our fighter force. So to avoid cherry picking, we could average across the entire airframe category (so all single-or-two seat fixed wing fighters vs all MALE UAVs). I haven't crunched those numbers but I think the point would stand in that case: manned costs => unmanned, considering the large number of $50-100MM jets in service that drag up the average. That said, I would caveat the conclusion by pointing out that use cases and mission sets are significantly different. If we were building UAVs with the same capabilities as an F-35....it would probably cost as much as an F-35 too.

Tech Exceptions Is Going Live
Well, I've bought new Apple computers for over 20 years now and for the first 10 I had to replace them after a couple years because I couldn't run newer software on them but they were pretty much junk by the end of those few years.

The late `09 Mac Mini I'm still using has been a real workhorse though. I upgraded the Ram and Hard Drive about 5 years ago and it's still very capable for what I do. To be fair, the DVD drive died after just a couple years on it though and I didn't really use it much.

But I don't use Photoshop or almost any Apple software anymore (outside of the OS). I write code and I don't need much horsepower for that.
China to clamp down on internet monopolies
So, device is password generator, and fingerprint is the username.
What happens when you lose or brake your security key, is your PC locked forever, or it will stay that way until they send you replacement?
But if they can send you replacement, that means that "the company" (read government services) have sort off master key for your PC (they have fingerprint database) and they can get access to inside hardware depending on deal they have with technology maker (I am thinking China)...

I had a chat with a spokesman from a bank they had similar technology for a credit card, basically what he said is that key factor is time.
That is, if someone steal your card in bar and takes fingerprint from a glass you were drinking, only things that will protect you is time you will notice that your card is missing and reporting it to the bank. As person hacking will need a bit of time to replicate fingerprint. Which is about between 15 - 30 min with proper tools...
I can assure you I have no idea who "rushan abbas" is.

Not only the base spec is 8GB but the largest possible upgrade is 16GB. My previous-generation Macbook Pro had the possibility of 32GB, which is what I bought because I think that's a decent minimum for a computer I want to last.
I note that the official press release from Apple does not mention ARM even once...
I was thinking the same thing. I have new Pi and it's pretty close performance wise to my old Mac Mini which is still a fine desktop PC.
I have been using for 2-3 years, and it had loads of breakages for me. I cannot count on two hands, need more. Europe.
You mean adding and substracting numbers? Personally I think it should be taught (and is here) to first graders. Also here no kid hates math before 5th grade (overly generalizing).
For all these years, I fail to understand the appeal of Go. I think I have grown to be quite understanding to why one would favour one or the other programming language over time, can see why some favour Haskell, some Java, some C, some TCL, some Python.

For Go I guess I can comprehend the statements of praise by Go-users, but I have a hard time with really understanding it. I fail to see the appeal.

This comment is not meant as an offense to Go-lovers out there, to the contrary, pick the languages and stacks you like. Its more about myself; me wondering at my own lack of understanding.
We are long past disputes about progress in this case. So it's simply not caring about it for those who don't see beyond what they are using.

>What is the differential power that companies with advanced AI hold over other smaller players like mom and pop stores or smaller retailers

At least at the moment, I don't think this is a huge issue. I run a "mom and pop" business with my wife, and taking advantage of state of the art marketing technology through eBay, Amazon, Facebook etc. is dead simple and at least semi-affordable.

As the technology becomes more advanced, I don't see any reason why these massive companies would conspire to deny small businesses access to it.
Sure, companies with in-house AI developers will have an advantage, but if it reaches the stage where this is make-or-break, small businesses failing will be the least of society's problems.

Can you give some concrete examples of how C# is tedious compared to go?

Things like

var filtered = purchases.Where(x => x.Name.Contains("Sean"));

and

var grouped = purchases.GroupBy(x => x.Buyer).Where(x => x.ToList().Count > 10).ToDictionary(x => x.Buyer, x => x.ToList());

etc. come up a lot in day to day programming and always feel tedious to me in go. The first example in go looks something like

filtered := []purchase{}
for i := range purchases {
if purchases[i].buyer == "Sean" {
filtered = append(filtered, purchases[i])
}
}

and it only gets worse as the domain gets more complicated. I don't really know what your background is where you feel that static typing and generics are complicated. I write C# every day and spend 0% of my time fighting the language.
I think it is easier to understand from a relative perspective. If you come from Haskell, you will probably not like Go at all.

But if you come from doing shell scripting or C, then Go will be much nicer.
And then it also has some actual nice things and removes some obstacles that exist in other languages.

I think with more experience, people will start dislike Go more and more and switch to other languages. But for beginners it is easier to learn and you are less distracted by nuances like formatting or a difficult typesystem.
It's Scala with Monocle (and it's off the top of my head, so apologies for any mistake). `set` usually returns a function for transforming values of the root type, but this simplified syntax will apply it immediately to `config`, so it'll return a copy of config with the modification applied to it.
Neither that tweet, nor the paper it referred to, attempted to correlate the exact date at which each Democratic candidate condemned violence with their respective election results.
I believe by studio they meant production studio, and not an actual place Apple works on their devices.
No way it was a real lab. Too much risk to reveal something just from the tools or devices present. The viewers would analyze every pixel visible and it’s too much effort to clean up a real lab of what secrets it could reveal and a lot easier to build a real-looking lab out of things you can safely display.

Not sure if such a lab would be even open to all employees at Apple from what I hear.

If an ad campaign results in a company not going out of business before I ever hear of them, and I only ever hear about the company because I happen to walk by a store of theirs, and then seeing what they sell, purchase a product from them, then technically if not for the ad campaign I wouldn’t have bought the product from them, but obviously this sort of thing isn’t what people are concerned about when they are concerned about whether ads influenced them to buy a product.

Agreed, the Pro's cooling should be better. However, I think it's worth waiting and seeing. There might not be that big of a difference in the end (e.g. both are uncharacteristically well designed and run fine; or conversely both are so badly thermally throttled that no serious intensive tasks can be performed) in which case other factors could end up being more significant.
> What happens when you lose or brake your security key, is your PC locked forever

Not sure about macOS, but on Windows it would most likely use Windows Hello, even though they didn't mention it once in that blogpost. It doesn't allow you to have biometrics as the only method of logging in. You would have to setup a PIN too and the usual password will always be available. On Linux anything goes, depends on how you set it up.

All that FIDO2 stuff is for browsers mainly, unless MS would meet them in the middle and allow FIDO2 without AD for system logins in upcoming updates.

> If you are an OS developer, you will try to commoditize you hardware, If you are an application developer, the smart thing is to commoditize your OS, and so on up the stack.

Both applications and hardware are complementary to an OS.

So if you are an OS developer and are following this logic, you'll also try to commoditize the applications.
