> Again by definition "zoom text only" is meant to change the proportions of the design

Not necessarily. Zoom text only is meant to change the font size and by extension things that are based off of the font size. Full-page zoom pretends that the browser window is a different resolution (even reporting a different resolution to Javascript) and then scales the page up in the final rendering step. I don't know that the point is necessarily to preserve/change proportions one way or another, they're different algorithms that affect different parts of the page.

This is still a really, really interesting perspective, arguably the most interesting/compelling justification that I've heard on this entire thread as to why a designer might choose to use pixels for width in a normal layout. But even though you have an interesting and insightful take, I'm not sure I buy that the reason designers are ignoring `em` units is to preserve user choice. And in practice in the real world, I notice that the pages that follow an `em`/`rem` philosophy when thinking about column width tend to handle both resizing of text and full-page zoom better.

Let me ask a question; if the goal of full-page zoom is actually to keep the same proportions for its font-size, if that's really the main difference between font-only zoom and full-page zoom, then is it a problem that full-page zoom doesn't affect percentages or viewport width units? Why draw the line specifically at the ratio of font-size to container width? If the point of full-page zoom is to preserve proportions and ratios, shouldn't it act more like zooming a PDF?
The merge button merges the feature branch into the base branch. The merge commit provides information regarding what commits are in the branch (commits from the first to second parent). Merging the base branch into the feature branch introduces a merge commit that just shows changes to the base branch and conflicts that were addressed.

That information could just as well not be there if you created the feature branch from the main branch after the latter was updated. The merge commit doesn't really provide any useful information, which is why many consider it noise that shouldn't be in the commit history.

There are a couple of large red flags here, but why not just use an array instead of an arena allocator and a linked list (of pointers I'm guessing).

If you need a linked list, use an array with indices and you can cut the size in half if you don't need 64 bit integers. If it has to be enormous, make a linked list of arrays for better locality.
Doing business with China in 2021 will look like doing business with Germany in 1938. Profits were more important than Tibet, Hong Kong and the Uyghurs - profits will be more important than Taiwan. Maybe we’ll stop doing business with genocidal communists if they attack Japan? One can hope.
I have no opinion about flying on this particular plane.

It's not so much MCAS, electric trim, this, or that.

The bigger issue is it's too complicated, has too many features, and the FAA can't adequately oversee testing and certification all the way down the engineering stack. Furthermore, because of pressures to save a buck, Boeing is willing to cut corners and sacrifice safety by slapping a plane together without properly engineering or testing it. Because of this behavior, it's difficult to know how many other problems are lurking around like in the 787.

>As I understand it the aircraft has a quite complex relationship with trim because of fundamental aerodynamic flaws (engines are too far forward).

That's not really correct. The engines being in a different position means the aircraft doesn't meet a very specific criterion of the FARs (positive stick force gradient). The 737 Max has the exact same relationship with trim as any other airliner.

>Am I right in saying other aircraft e.g. an A320 would handle this sort of failure without as much risk to the plane?

No. TFA explicitly states this issue was not related to MCAS. It's likely an analogous failure on an A320 or a 737NG would still have necessitated aborting the flight.
> Reagan's impromptu comments have had significant staying power, being referenced, cited, and used as literary inspiration as recently as 2017.

Time to update that, then!
On the morning of January 13th, 2018 I was looking at my phone. When at 8:08am, every cell phone in the entire state simultaneously emitted an emergency alert tone and displayed this exact message:

BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND TO HAWAII. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

I turned on the radio and FM stations were playing the Emergency Broadcast System's well known emergency tone followed by a computerized voice playing the same message as above on repeat.

When faced with this information, time is of absolute essence. The price of taking your time to doubt things and evaluating the veracity of the information means you're not acting to potentially prevent the immient death of yourself and your family.

In this scenario, you cannot expect people to do anything but take things at face value and seek immediate shelter.
I respectfully disagree. A news article calling them flaws does not make them a flaw. Here's the issue: At lower speeds such as you'd see during a landing approach, the throttle setting of the 737 Max directly affects its pitch. If the pilot were to suddenly reduce throttle, the nose would pitch up. This is due to the engine's more forward position.

The forward position of the engines was done so that they wouldn't have to re-engineer half the plane to fit the larger engines. High bypass turbo fans are big, and they couldn't maintain ground clearance without either moving the engines up higher or making the landing gear longer. To move the engines higher they had to move them forward. So they did.

The new behavior of the aircraft required retraining and making sure pilots knew how the throttle and pitch were related. Mind you, a lot of aircraft have such relationships, so this is not in itself a flaw.

The real flaw came when they decided to replace training with software, and then conveniently forgot to tell anybody about the robo-pilot that they put in the cockpit. THAT was the failure. The airplane itself, even without MCAS at all, would be a bit more of a handful to fly, but nothing terrible. With a properly functioning MCAS, and proper training about how to disable it in case of a problem, the issue is solved. And that's what the FAA believed happened when they recertified the 737 MAX to fly again. But by now the reputation has been tarnished so badly that we're hearing news about unrelated failures because it happened on a 737 MAX.

So you can see the real failure isn't aerodynamic, its pretty much everything else.

If I got any details wrong, I apologize. I'm flying by the seat of my pants on this layman's analysis after a long day.

As a hack, you could do pre process to hide some of the common prefix, pass it into FZF, and then post process to add back the prefix, before finally running it.

Basically, something like:

I'm not sure if it would be useful, but I think it's worth a try (and would be a fun project).

> You’ve incorrectly assumed that you can work close to home or at home for similar compensation per hour

Having worked for a FAANG myself, that assumption is not incorrect at all. I know what I'm talking about.

You may not find a house with a yard or two car garage within an appropriate commute distance of the FAANG campuses in Menlo Park, Palo Alto, Mountain View, Sunnyvale, Redwood City, or Los Gatos. You may have to settle for a townhouse, or a condo, or even gasp, shudder an apartment. But there are ways to make it work.

Everyone has to decide what they value more. Big house for their family, but you give up 2 hours/day that you could spend with that family. Or lots more time with the family, good health, and less stress, but you give up some space and/or comfort. For me it's a no-brainer.
The words absolutely do change the meaning of the principles. The idea that actual literal sociopaths are common in corporations is much more contentious than opportunists being common. Losers implies that going home at 5pm because you have other things going on in your life is morally wrong, in a way that pragmatists doesn't. Clueless implies that believing in the corporation is wrong, in a way that idealists doesn't.

Be aware that there might be compatibility issues. I enabled it on a pair of OpenWRT-running APs, and the handoff worked fine for my laptop, but my phone would claim to be successfully associated/authenticated with the new AP, but traffic wouldn't flow. Turning off 802.11r fixed the issue completely, and it turns out I don't really need it after all, as my devices seem to roam properly and the reauth is pretty quick.
>Nobody does that anymore.

It's used as an accessibility option for people with low visual acuity.
LOTS of aircraft have a tendency to pitch up or down based on throttle. This isn't unique to the 737 MAX.

A quick google on "thrust line pitch moment" gave me this:
https://www.homebuiltairplanes.com/forums/threads/thrust-ang...

" I want to adjust the thrust angle from where it was (0° with respect to the chord line) to reduce the downward pitching moment when thrust is added (or more importantly the upward pitch moment when thrust is reduced)"

With respect to the 737-8 MAX though, although in this case it's nothing to do with MCAS, doesn't the 737-8 MAX have smaller radius trim wheels than previous models (so less leverage)?

So in theory, trimming might be more difficult on the MAX than previous 737 models, especially at higher speeds (where there's more force on the control surfaces that would need to be counteracted in the case of runaway trim).
>At lower speeds such as you'd see during a landing a approach, the throttle setting of the 737 Max directly affects its pitch.

Any conventional airliner has this "flaw". If you are at low airspeed and you push the throttles forward, an A320 will exhibit nose-up pitch, too. It's a direct consequence of having giant engines slung kinda-sorta-underneath the wings of a low-wing monoplane.
I'm not trying to suggest "Bullies are all abused people."

I said These studies almost never ask questions like ... That was very intentional.

"I'm being abused" is merely one example of someone having a crappy life. There are lots of ways a person's life can be crappy.

So your comment doesn't really disagree with my suggestion, though it sort of seems to. I'm only suggesting that bullies are probably miserable and taking their misery out on other people and that element isn't actually examined by most studies.

The study characterizes these cyberbullies as males who spend too much time online. I object to that.

That more or less smears men and people who spend a lot of time online without finding any real cause. I think it's a characterization that amounts to harmful disinformation.

It's not much different from racial profiling which people object to for the implication that "people of color are just immoral and inherently inclined to be criminal." (Among other reasons.)

I object to this study essentially pointing fingers at innocent characteristics as if they are causal without finding any meaningful causes. It doesn't even seem to look for meaningful causes.

I spend a lot of time online. That doesn't per se make me more inclined to bully people.

I do my damnedest to be a decent person in spite of having a very difficult life. I've been on the receiving end of bullying on a forum where it was mod policy to actively encourage members to pick on certain people and then the mods would act like the people being bullied were at fault for any drama that swirled around them when there was no means for those people to shut that crap down (I have reason to believe I continued to be stalked by some of these assholes even after they banned me).

I was homeless at the time and it was an extremely classist forum.

So there's no doubt all kinds of factors that contribute to such behavior. But this study doesn't seem to list a single thing that looks like a meaningful contributor.

The mods were a large part of the problem on the forum where I was harassed. That doesn't mean "Becoming a mod puts you at greater risk of becoming a bully."

Those people were just assholes who found themselves in an easily abusable position of power. Some of them were assholes who were very open about their childhood baggage, such as having an alcoholic father.

So personal baggage was a contributing factor. But we all can choose whether our baggage is a source of compassion for the suffering of others or a bullshit excuse to kick others while they are down.

These folks chose to kick me while I was down while bragging to the world about what amazingly woke and good people they are. And most people buy their BS about being good people and woke people and fail to see how they actively and intentionally crap on some people for no real reason.

Step 1, whether taken from a book or various blogs, will be something like a tutorial from the remix IDE. See its source code on GitHub.

Alternatively, WebStorm has a Solidity plugin and exposure to that IDE is useful for other Jetbrains products.

Solidity is not a general-purpose language like the ones listed. So, step 2 would be familiarity with tools and workflow.

For people with golang experience, I wonder if HN would recommend Geth as a reference implementation. Step 3 might be to embed Geth in a golang project they already know well, with smart contracts wrapping transactions in that app.

So I actually went and found this fabled 245-page report :

https://transportation.house.gov/imo/media/doc/2020.09.15%20...

And this, I think, is where the whole faulty/flawed thing gets introduced :

> Faulty Design and Performance Assumptions.

> Boeing made fundamentally faulty assumptions about critical technologies on the 737 MAX, most notably with MCAS. Based on these faulty assumptions, Boeing permitted MCAS—software designed to automatically[...] It also expected that pilots, who were largely unaware that the system existed, would be able to mitigate any potential malfunction. Boeing also failed to classify MCAS as a safety-critical system, which would have attracted greater FAA scrutiny during the certification process.[...]

So, I would agree that Boeing's design flaw here was not alerting the pilot with a huge red warning light (and being cheeky about re-certification). But I don't think that this report goes so far as to say that the airframe was flawed and therefore necessitated MCAS.
Why can't 2 things be true? That Weinstein is a horrible person and that memories of something 20 years ago can be flimsy and vague.

On the other hand... that's exactly what it means to be human, and is not the flaw that it is often made out to be in the literature.

We as people both forward-chain and backward-chain. If I have principles that are important to me, I might reason forward from them to plan or conclude. And then if I discover an undesirable outcome, then that means I've learned something about myself, and then I can reason backwards to adjust what my principle actually is, and reason forward from that adjustment.

There's nothing morally wrong with learning and evolving. It doesn't by definition mean we're inconsistent.

> Without the MCAS there the aircraft has a tendency to pitch up, resulting in a stall situation.

That's not why MCAS was added. Airliners have certification requirements for "flying qualities" (smoothness) as a passenger and IFR platform.

Without MCAS, the 787 MAX pitch-up in some cases exceeded the certification requirements, so MCAS was added to control the rate of pitch-up.
