Probably wouldn’t work in the end described. The only way to get it in would be to get the maintainers to accept the patch, then wait for redhat to pull it in, then wait for a stable OS release, then wait for the IT guys to approve that release for internal use, then wait for the other IT guys to install it on your nodes.

Every time we had an issue the only option was to literally divert the flow of a river around it in some way.

The positive outcome of this was the sheer amount of outside the box thinking practice genuinely lead to some of us gaining semi elite debugging and hacking skills. My own favourite was writing a tool to frig with the IAT in PE files on windows NT so you could inject a new function to wrap vendor DLL functions so we could patch bugs without involving the vendor.
> He was one of the creators of PayPal, so digital money is his field.

He was one of four people listed as founders of X.com, which merged with Confinity, which changed its name to PayPal where he was fired as CEO; PayPal was then purchased by EBay, whereupon Musk took a big payday.

Judging by his involvement with Tesla Motors Inc -- he became chairman and CEO by investing 6.5 million into the existing company; a lawsuit brought by an incorporating founder resulted in an agreement whereby Musk and four others can call themselves founders -- makes me wonder what his contribution to X.com actually was.

Whatever else he may be, he's an extraordinarily good investor.

If you can you should get some contract where what you get paid is proportional to the value generated.

For instance you could get some % of revenue from the product, get stock in the company, or something like that.
I fully agree. I cannot stress how much I appreciate how Apple TV is the only mainstream video hardware that is completely ad free.

Yes it's pricey (in comparison to other video streaming hardware), but Apple doesn't try to monetize the end user and for that I will pay Apple their $179 to avoid being showered with ads by smart TV OSes, Roku, Google TV, Amazon Fire devices, etc.
> the mission end date was extended because the hardware was capable of doing more science (or for more time) than it was designed for (and budgeted for)

That is circular, it assumes that the announced end date isn't just underpromising what they know will be a later date. Neither of us is there when these dates are chosen, so we don't know what they are thinking. Arguably, NASA should be better able to estimate project lifetimes by now.

NASA is doing amazing things; I'm not so cynical.
1. D is an easy language to learn. Frankly, one will probably learn better by having to explore a bit here and there rather than having every answer instantly available, no effort required. A big part of effective learning is working to solve a problem yourself.

2. D supports many styles of programming - imperative, meta, OOP, functional, machine code - so one can quickly learn these many styles without having to learn another language. With D's inline assembler, one can even use D to learn assembler without needing to deal with all the boilerplate of setting up an assembler program.

3. Interpreted languages, for example, do a good job of hiding what is actually going on. This leaves gaps in a programmer's knowledge.

4. D has a active and large learn forum. Help is available as needed.

5. Being a D programmer marks one as innovative and willing to try new things. Many employers consider D experience on the resume as a nice plus.

6. D includes a C compiler (ImportC) so if you must use a solution in C, it's easy to access.

Trump's a moron, famous for his verbal diarrhea, this is nothing new. He seemed to have heard the name BleachBit, conflated it with bleach, which in his mind was a harsh chemical like acid, which then became acid wash. There are many such examples of his meandering thought patterns, it's definitely in character.

The Clinton camp and their supporters in the media were the ones being disingenuous, and seizing on the chemical angle to deny malfeasance. Versions of "she didn't wash the server with acid", or the infamous "wipe, like with a cloth?" comments do not debunk the core claim, that data was deleted, and the Clinton political machine are savvy and cynical enough operators to know this.

It does leave me with two glaring questions.

One, is where was he going? He states at the start the plan is to go paragliding in the mountains. Apparently without his paragliding kit. And up into the mountains with nowhere to land. And they're really not the wheels for bush landings, so I don't assume the plan was to land wild.

He does have access to bush-appropriate craft though, he has an earlier video (this september) where he tells stories of how scary mountain flying can be, and the recurring craft in that video has the balloon-type tyres I expect from bush flying. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMrwPPMTCmM )

But that earlier video raises the second question by repeatedly, consistently, shooting down his "I always fly with my chute on" statement.

I don't want to be "we did it reddit", but I can see why questions are being asked.
CAPS (the Cirrus parachute system) has a pretty impressive record. One of the ways Cirrus actually improved crash survivability for their aircraft was training pilots to start by assuming they're going to pull the chute. Might they be able to perform a successful engine-out landing? Yes. Might they be able to restart the engine? Also yes. But, by starting with the mindset "Plane failed, pull the chute" you don't fixate on these ideas past the point where the chute ceases to be available, so when that engine won't start, and you realise you can't find that long straight road you'd always imagined landing on, you still have enough altitude to pull the CAPS handle and live to make better choices another day.

On their Vision Jets they also have emergency autoland, which is a blessing under FAA conditions where realistically some elderly pilots are going to die up there, leaving anybody else in the plane to get down on their own. Is it possible to talk a zero experience lay person down in a single engine plane when their pilot buddy slumped over suddenly in level flight? I wouldn't bet money on them even operating the radio correctly. But the emergency autoland can put that plane back on the ground pretty reliably, maybe even in time for the pilot to receive medical attention if they're merely incapacitated not yet dead.
Flickr has more of a social-network aspect than Dropbox: it benefits enormously from people uploading high-quality photography or, especially, offering good feedback on other people's uploads. People love to upload photographs and see other people react favorably, and you especially want a way to share your photos with your friends and family even if they never end up uploading anything. There's also a cultural angle: young photographers want to be able to share their work and get feedback but they may not have money — but that high-school kid uploading pictures from their photography class is potentially creating both great content and will turn into a Pro account when they have money.

What they want to do is cap that: upload a few things you think about, don't use Auto-Uploadr to transfer 50GB of blurry lunch photos nobody will ever access. I've wondered whether the answer might be something like the old-school BBS ratios: have a free tier but allow people to get more based on the cumulative number of times people look at / star your work (with some care to avoid mutual promotion rings) or gift you a Pro subscription. If there's not a way to get cash out of the system, that could avoid unintentionally turning into OnlyFans while allowing people to contribute to the community.
It boggles my mind why he recommends a parachute but no offline maps on the phone.

Still I think this entire thing is staged
The airplane is registered with the FAA under someone else's name.
I don't agree. Deceiving and lying are two different things. You are describing somebody being deceptive.

You can deceive somebody and still be 100 % truthful.
Although D supports the OOP paradigm, it does not require it at all. Very little of the D standard library uses OOP, for example.
I understand the difficultly in communicating these experiences. This is yet another issue in psychological research, as not only are they difficult to communicate but people may explain things differently when they're talking about similar experiences. This is the reason I would like to see things explained and studied with specificity.

Its likely that we don't have any research done into these psychological phenomena, partially due to the way research into these compounds has been essentially banned (DEA dragging their feet on applications or denying for arbitrary reasons)

I think a good example of terminology that has come from the drug use underground is that of "vibrations"
It seems to me like the discussion of vibration is actually related to the oscillatory behavior of neurons and their networks. I don't know how we'll be able to dive into this idea and connect what people experience as "vibrations" to oscillatory behavior and their associated behavioral and psychological phenomena, but I think its a good place to start investigating as long as we solidify terminology.

I'm more than happy to hear different ideas and perspectives on these phenomena but I'll always ask clarifying questions. These questions help to get people on the same page so we can all deepen our understanding of the complex machinery that is the human brain.
Are you trying to provide an example for many of the points of OP above or am I overreading this?

In your message I observe, very careful criticism, uncalled praise, admission and defense of a system that excludes most criticism...

To try and draw a technical analogy, wearing a skydiving rig in this instance is really like buying your grandfather a high end gaming PC so he can use email because "that's what you're used to." It's plausible, in the sense that those words in that particular sort of make sense, but realistically nobody would ever do it.

Even if you've got thousands of solo jumps, if you're doing a non-skydiving flight and feel the need to wear a parachute (very few pilots ever do this), you're just not going to wear a full skydiving rig. It's several times bulkier, it's harder to move in the cockpit, and it doesn't fit the purpose, which is to allow you to bail closer to the ground after running your engine failure checklist and not die.
Just wanna chime in and say that Mentour has been doing a great job with his videos.

There is a lot of low effort air crash videos on YouTube that does not do much more than reading off the official report or the script of an ACI episode. Mentour is one of the few that goes beyond that by injecting actual professional insight into the events.
For landlines we had a Do Not Call Registry, but nothing like that was ever implemented for mobile as far as I know. For me, false or misleading CallerIDs are the most immediate problem. If we required commercial entities to clearly identify themselves in their CallerID (the way many states require commercial vehicles to display their business name and contact info) then we'd have a fair shot of cutting down phone spam through "technical means". Almost all the "landline" (VOIP) calls coming into my house already go to voicemail thanks to around a dozen call treatments I've got in place: but delayed notice of an important call from the proverbial clueless bank or doctor's office with a blank CallerID is a constant risk.
At this early stage, I'd say the biggest obstacle is reaching a wide enough audience; I have no prior fame, and no PR budget yet.

“I'm too dumb to understand smart contracts” – Elon Musk
> go and look up the Cobra Effect

So, first, the "cobra effect," like most economic proverbs, is apocryphal. It didn't happen. It's a story economists tell their kids to keep them from sharing.

Second, there's a big damn difference between "I'm going to grow a snake because I'm getting paid for it" and "I'm going to get my kids kidnapped so I can collect a tax credit without actually having to pay for the kids." It may not appear that way if one's working model of people is "dispassionate rational actor," but it turns out in the real world most people have some kind of irrational emotional attachment to their kids.

Finally, I'd submit that "Cobra Effect"-type problems arise as a factor of two errors - the first is misunderstanding the cultural group for which you're designing practices, and the second is a weirdly inflexible view of society that accepts someone manipulating the system as just a sort of thing that happens and not an egregious breach of the social contract warranting a response.
I like this headline: "Key Takeaway: No Behavior is Unmotivated"

I was looking at a circa 1980 conference proceeding on vandalism which had a quote from this notorious character

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Zimbardo

to the effect that "vandalism is unmotivated" because vandals don't obviously add to their utility function the way thieves do. The response was "No behavior is unmotivated."

Also in general I think the inability of neurotypicals to have empathy for autists is much more profound than the converse. I remember as a kid on the schoolyard playing with autistic kids whose I could relate to a lot more easier than bullies who would torment me. Looking back I think "what's so strange about kids running around and making noises?"

I know multiple people personally who have been through YC, and I'm not sure what point you are trying to make.

Not every company that goes through YC are at the same stage. I've heard of companies joining YC despite already having over a million in ARR because of how valuable the YC network is.

YC invests 125k in each team, which is certainly enough to last more than a few months eating ramen if you are building the product yourself.

Also, trying to sell a product using a demo is not exactly the same as selling a finished product. At 0-1 stage, you can bet the demo hides the rough edges to some degree.

I would say selling using a demo falls somewhere on the sell-before-build spectrum, but one point I was trying to make is that it is not necessarily black-and-white.
Surely you see how hypocritical and ponzi that is.
> I saw a need for a safer, better, decentralized protocol for email, so I drafted one (TMTP) and implemented client & server.

We definitely do, and then we need big, heavy corporate advocates for this new protocol. That second part is the rub. I would argue that every company embraced email early only because proprietary formats that locked customers into a platform weren't yet a thing. Now that they are, it is so much harder to propose that we all "just get along" with shared protocols.

Your work looks very interesting and I applaud you for taking this on. I will take a look. I am not entirely pessimistic. Have you thought about building a company around it?
No, can't afford it

>If your fundamental firmware-stuff is screwed up on any platform

Sure I just have an impression after some googling that this DFU happens much more frequently then one would expect. Certainly I didn't expect it to happen in the first day after purchase but it did. So perhaps this pleasing 'much better' ability to fix it by just connecting it with another device that you probably do not possess(in my case) comes with another pleasure of having to do it more frequently. If that is the case then I really prefer the state to which you are accustomed to.

I could believe that if the channel had a history of that kind of footage. But I just skipped around a few past videos (actually most of the channel content is not about flying) and couldn't see one.

I'll let FAA assign blame, but sure does seem like he added that angle because it seemed like a cool shot for the crash.

Edit: Also, he doesn't seem to fly with a full parachute normally, for example: https://youtu.be/OnOrfJo2LE0?t=253
Ask HN: How did you learn distributed systems development?
Should I not correct peoples misunderstanding? If that’s what you want I am happy to ignore yours.
They might, but probably not for the reason(s) the GP is implying. I've definitely noticed a correlation between age and how quickly a pilot is to disregard safety, checklists, etc.
There is a physical part of depression, even if the root cause comes from the psyche.

> That's a pretty narrow ban.

Sure but it's still a world away from "This author is suggesting that because HER book, in particular, wasn't chosen by this particular school, that she is somehow aggrieved" which was your original claim.

> Meaning it's still available from the library, but parents have to give consent

Yes, like I said, "restricted". But again miles from "wasn't chosen".

> It is not completely unreasonable to put guards around the material we expose our kids to

Indeed not and if this particular book were being argued about in good faith, I'd have zero problem with it being taken out of schools. Choosing particularly salacious out of context quotes and mischaracterising it is 100% not "good faith" though.
The IEEE754 remainder function even beats C in that it can return a negative value even if both inputs are positive. IIRC the logic that leads to this is:

remainder(a, b)
n = round(a/b)
return a - n * b

Because it rounds to get n, n * b can be greater than a :D

Even more fun as the original x87 implementation preceded IEEE754 its remainder operation (fprem, because it's technically a partial remainder) used truncation rather than rounding as that's the obvious behaviour. To support the IEEE754 specification they had to add fprem1 which performs a rounding operation instead. Hurrah! :D
They’re incremental upgrades. Why does everyone complain about this? If they let them rot for 5 years everyone would complain too. I bought a series 7 watch because my series 5 AppleCare ran out, not because it was gloriously a million times better. But it turned out to be much better!
This bit me the other way in JavaScript a couple of weeks back! I'd been used to Ruby which never returned negative numbers, but JavaScript follows C and it messed me up for 20 minutes.
Mondale was unable to respond to Reagan's quip.

Microsoft's evolution into adtech is the natural evolution of industrial capitalism.

In the 19th century, mercantile giants evolved into banks, because after expanding to the limits of their trading turf, that's how they'd get secure, predictable Return On Capital (ROC).

In the 20th century, industrial giants evolved into fintech services, because after expanding to the limits of their markets that's how they'd get ROC.

In the 21st century, the largest software companies seek to evolve into adtech for the same reason.
It's because housing in the United States is viewed as two distinctly different things under one umbrella. Housing is an investment, the loans (and collateral) of which are traded on the stock market. Secondarily, housing is also a domicile. When your investment goes from $400k to $2M over the course of 20 years that's a significant return on investment and can be the difference between retiring and not retiring.
His youtube channel really sets the scene...

"I got stuck on a chairlift", "Skydive ends in police car", "A helicopter left me in the ocean", "I Brought My Dog Flying (Bad Idea)"... just on and on.

In the don't bring your dog flying one he starts with "this story may or may not be true", mentions that his gopro coincidentally didn't capture the critical moments, then talks about nearly crashing during takeoff and all his electronics going out and his dog panicking. So of course he alledgedly continued on without navigation into a no-fly zone instead of y'know turning around and landing.

I'm not totally 100% convinced the stuff is all fake, but at the very least he probably shouldn't be flying...

A modern mirrorless from Panasonic/Sony/Olympus likely does basically everything that magic lantern does. They're so far ahead of DSLR bodies at this point.

Sony full frame mirrorless is generally the go to if you want a large sensor with good low light capability, but they are pricey.

Oly/panasonic both have a bunch of 4/3 sensor options, and lenses are interchangeable, although optical image stabilization doesn't work as well when mixing lens and body brands.
If you compare Apple TV to what it could be, or what you might have expected out of Apple given their reputation, it's pretty meh.

If you compare it to a typical smart TV, it's pretty okay, because a typical smart TV is designed by a distracted child and shipped without testing and any customer bug reports are sent directly to an incinerator.

But that shouldn't be the bar.
