When just editing code, I prefer VSCode. But for debugging C++ there is nothing that comes even close on any platform productivity-wise to Visual Studio.

I guess if you're not doing cross-platform and staying within the ecosystem (MSBuild, NuGet, etc.), the project management is also nice.
It is for me, I can't just go build in the new version. So i'm keeping the software with the old compiler.
It goes way beyond checklist stuff.

Imagine having an intermediate system in your Tesla, one between fully manual and the autopilot. This system uses the navigation capabilities of the autopilot to draw in the big screen some squares that guide you to your destination without the need to look outside. Something you may find in a videogame. This system is helpfull and easy to use, and allows you to pay attention to more important matters.

Well, now imagine getting so used to this system that you forget how to drive without the squares telling you what to do every single moment. So used that if the squares guide you to drive straight to a wall at 100mph you do it without hesitation.

This is what supposedly happened in this case. The flight director is there to help you, but you are supposed to know how to fly without it.

When you rotate an airliner the initial pitch is around 15 degrees nose up, that way your rate of climb and the optimal climb speed is maintained.

They kept the nose almost horizontal, against any natural instinct for a pilot. They almost overrun the runway without rotating, and they barely rotated just enough to be able to keep the flight director centered in their screen.

It seems that the speed went beyond the structural limit of the tyres (around 200 kts) and if they didn’t retract the flaps, beyond their structural limit too. And then they proceeded to fly almost scratching the obstacles in their path.

Why does something like this happpens? Because in an airline like Emirates actual piloting skills are actively punished!. You are not allowed to fly the plane manually, nor disconect automatic systems if they are available.

They expect robot like precission applying procedures, modern airliners log dozens of instruments and have automatic reports when procedure limitation are exceeding (is a big brother like work environment). This may seem a good philosophy, but it actually creates an situation where pilots loose necessary skills, and when computers or procedures fail, as they often do in airplanes, pilots are not able to react properly anymore.

I’m sure Emirates will punish the pilots and will set new procedures over the current ones, to try to avoid this kind of situations in the future. They will solve nothing, they will only make it worse. Is a culture of fear and punishment. This also happens in other middle east airlines like Qatar. Airlines in Asia are making this mistake too.

In contrast airlines in the US and Europe (except Ryanair and some other British carriers) give pilots much more freedom regarding manual flight, which helps them to keep their skills honed.

Hope this gives a different perspective on the problem. The wrong altitude selection is the minor of the problems in this case IMHO.

I am an Airline captain with 22 years of experience (737, MD88, A320, A330 and A340) and more than 14k flight hours.

Edit, some typos and making a couple of sentences more clear.
Seriously. Did these pilots think they were playing Microsoft Flight Simulator or something?!
My display is crap and I managed zero too.
Audacity has the same "fingerprint" feature for noise reduction and it works pretty well.
Is not doing something of fear of punishment the kind of self-control which would be useful in the absence of punishment?

Drivers respect the speed limit while driving next to a police car.

Does this mean that they will do so in its absence? Did the policing reform them?
Same for pheasant back and wood ear.
Maybe we don't want them to be able to do any of that

And I think you are missing the point, the goal it's not to standardize logins, it's about making impossible for servers to know my password, hence impossible passwords leaks

That would allow people to reuse strong passwords, and not need passwords managers, because that's what they are doing anyway!

It seems to imply a reversal of the cause-effect relationship that some people may experience:

I don't doubt that poor sleep habits can contribute to depression and help bring on a bout of it all on its own. However, my experience is the opposite. Depression severely reduces my ability to sleep. What sleep I get is restless and filled with intrusive thoughts. In the internet age, it does not surprise me that many people in this situation would turn to internet usage in this situation to occupy their minds rather than lay miserably in the dark drifting in & out. With or without that internet activity, this becomes a downward spiral:

--depressed ∴ can't sleep.

--Sleep deprivation ∴ worsened depression

--worse depression ∴ worse sleep

I'm sure the often toxic nature of social media only makes this worse, and also that the short-term relief from inner ruminations through internet distractions also just makes the sleep deprivation worse as well if it leads to even less sleep.

When depression ∴ can't sleep (rather than the inverse, which also happens) is the causal chain, treating the symptoms of poor sleep or late-night internet usage won't help quite so much with the underlying cause: depression itself. But this article unfortunately seems to focus on that line of treatment, e.g., with CBT. However I do not mean to discount the information in this study: It demonstrates some very useful knowledge as well. I would simply have liked them to have explored the topic of whether late-night activity preceded depression or not. Although early warning signs can progress slowly & subtly to the point where it may not always be clear.

Nah nah. What you (and all the other comments miss), is if you were going to do that, you'd just reduce the sale of cards tremendously, while hoarding your own production output to take over. You wouldn't cut out all sales and hoard all of them.

See, if they just stopped selling them, people would ask questions. If, however, you just reduced the supply by like 80%, said it "was due to all those crypto miners hoarding them", and then proceeded to use that hoarded 80% to do a 50%+1 attack, you'd be able to -quietly- take over, and turn around and sell those coins to the still preserved market.

The data implies exactly the opposite.

Could that really work? Sounds like it's highly abusable if someone compromises the database and gets a list of all the hashes. Now, they don't even need to use rainbow tables or any brute force to compute the password. They just send the hash to the server and will be logged in.
Your identity is your private key. It can't be taken away in a way how your Google account can be just disabled one day. We also have a way to retain control if your private key gets compromised - you can have a parent key, which can then be used to disable your compromised key and re-assign your name to another key. Since you never use your parent key (presumably kept in a safe offline place), it gives you some degree of protection.
> Should infecting others with a flu also be considered violence?

How is it not violence to infect others with a serious disease? It causes bodily harm.

It is assault to knowingly expose others to a communicable disease.

However, using the flu as an example isn’t very good as spreading the common cold doesn’t carry criminal consequences. If you are referring to Covid as a “flu” then it’s another matter.
I am assuming pilots have had less flight hours over the last couple of years due to Covid

Was it him that proposed that we should abolish national currencies, and allow people to accept whatever currency they see fit?

People would accept the most stable or well-managed currencies (or switch into them quickly, if they're using currency as a store of value), and so deter chancellors from debauching their national currency.
nutrition science is really hard, in part because different people react to foods differently.

These houses are all made from the same materials and in many cases have the same fences due to HOA rules. It's most likely wind direction, and the capriciousness of local terrain - and perhaps something about vegetation in the lawns as well. From what I saw fire trucks would try for 10 minutes to save a place and basically have to bail out. There was no stopping this.
The analogy fits in terms of what you're doing in the biggest job category is the shortest-term and perhaps smallest modifications. But if you're the software analog of an architect who is actually trained well enough to be able to do both the "less inspiring" stuff as well as more desirable creative projects, then you can probably get into a different field of programming (VR, data science, security) that also pays better too.
Unfortunately not -- look at what is happening in NSW (Australia). >90% vaccination rate, and essentially exponential growth in cases and hospitalisation.

> I really hope that's not the actual message Emirates is putting out there.

Why imagine there is hope of that? Is there some question as to the credibility of the reporting here? If this memo claim were fake I imagine Emirates would deny the report and initiate some lawsuits. The story linked here is based on the reporting[1] of one Gilbert Ott of godsavethepoints.com over five days ago which includes a image of the 'memo' Emirates issued, so someone has actually put their name on this story, including the report about the memo.

Blatant dysfunction should not be discounted through false hopes. This airline is clearly operated by incompetents, both in the cockpit and among its management. Someone will doubtless feel compelled to cite some safety record or another; this carries no weight if you cannot eliminate the contribution of aircraft designers and the automation they've provided. And you can't.

For bitcoin at least, a top of the line ASIC miner can do ~1,000,000x more hashes per second at ~1/100th the power per hash compared to a top of the line GPU. The current total hash rate for the Bitcoin network is ~200EH/s. So a 51% attack would require ~2 trillion GPUs consuming/costing 100x as much power as the Bitction network does today.

To be fair, I've never had my comments censored in any way. I sometimes get the "you're posting too quick" message because I did upvote a couple comments in the previous few seconds, but trying again after a minute works for me. So I honestly haven't seen any automated censorship system you're talking about in my 11 years on this site.

> I was at the hospital yesterday (for something unrelated to covid) and there are 0 rooms available. The hallways are still packed with unvaccinated people with covid laying in every open space they can find. Nurses and doctors are still worked past their breaking point.

Anecdote: I had to go to the ER in 2017 in San Francisco and my experience was exactly like this back then too. It was a ~4 hour wait in the ER waiting room, then another several hours on a bed in a bright loud busy hallway, then some tests, back to the hallway for a few hours, and then emergency inpatient surgery.

The checklists bring the aircraft back to a known state.

One 777 pilot commented to say that this issue should have been caught by at least two checklists, implying that neither checklists had been followed.

Tangentially: if my 2006 Mercedes is reset (battery disconnected) it needs to idle for 20 minutes to re-learn the idle pattern. The vehicle then needs to be driven around for a bit to re-learn driving patterns. I wonder if there are similar settings on a 777 that would need to be preserved between 'resets'.

Fellow kerbal space program attendee here:

I believe that while smaller planes will naturally pitch up as speed increases, jumbo jets are much more lumpant even with the correct flaps. That's the terrifying thing in my understanding: the plane basically had no manual pitch due to incorrect config values, and were barely gliding off the ground from minimal natural lift. Meanwhile the two potatoes at the helm were fiddling with the config values instead of pulling on the yoke.
Agreed. My sympathies that the GP even needs to know this.
Still, helpful for the large majority of people who are not pilots.
Obviously it doesn't eliminate all engineering. What it could do, though, is reduce costs. The idea is you could potentially achieve the same level of safety with less material or less testing.

Those things are progress in a sense, sure, but...

It's as if someone finds a way to make an alloy less prone to metal fatigue, and you just say "but you can use thicker metal, and test more." Sure, but.... well I don't see the point explaining this further to you, but I assume people reading this that don't see everything in black and white already understand.
They probably were given a command to stay at 4000 above ground (AGL) level after takeoff. The plane was to level off until further instructions from ATC. Since the plane was set to sea level on takeoff, the plane tried to level off at 4000 ft above sea level which…is not good. The plane was pitched down to descend.

Some warnings are inhibited below a certain altitude or on the ground. I don't know if "overspeed" is one of them, though.
You assume that when I say janky that I mean JavaScript. Sites can not have JavaScript and still be featureful when it comes to features and privacy. In this instance I was specifically talking about rate limiting responses and some of the censorship I see here.
I think that a good chunk of the US already has places they'd like to live but cannot afford - for those people (including me) the choice is to move somewhere trendy and cool and live in a 1 bedroom apartment or stay where I am and live in a house. This will always be (and has always been) the trade-off. If you only have 200k for housing it doesn't matter that Austin or SF is cool - Toledo is affordable.
The morels can be pretty nasty though compared to those on this list. E.g a common mistake is to dry them in a regular kitchen oven. When you do, you’ll risk endning up with bad headache or nausea if your kitchen isn’t well ventilated. This doesn’t exactly happen when drying porcini.

This looks nasty, I hope they patch this soon.
Damn, looks like a nice free competitor to Glasswire which I'm currently using (which also has an extremely usable free option).

Like Glasswire though I'm guessing this doesn't alert on common traffic like DNS lookups via the host, which would still allow malicious software to get traffic in and out unseen.
You are correct. I (and I think most people?) consider that to be the most common attacker scenario.
Yet you would never see me talking about JS being a positive when it comes to web design, but there is still a lot to be desired when it comes to HN.
Hint: HR is not your friend.

HR's primary job, overriding all its other jobs, is to spy on you on behalf of corporate. Second is to save the company money on lawsuit payouts.

The only saving grace is that, sometimes, a low-level HR functionary has not got the memo that this is their primary job, and might actually do something helpful.

The primary job of the Director of HR, an the other hand, is always simple corruption, graft, kickbacks, as much of it as they can manage to keep track of. It does no good to try to hire one who won't; they didn't get into HR not to. So, if you think your HR director seems not to, it just means they are playing a deeper game, one probably more harmful to you and the company.

As a student pilot, this drives me nuts. The volume of abbreviations, especially in NOTAMS, METARs, etc, is a bit obscene.

What’s wonderful too is that the abbreviations are often based on non English words as well, so they aren’t intuitive. As an example, instead of typing “mist” in a METAR it is “BR” based on the French word brume.
Morels are a spring mushroom.
But obviously they did pass 6th grade.

The choice of Go for this is interesting. Having worked with Python & BioPython for bioinformatics problems I've found that there was a good deal of complexity around eking out performance (Cython, C++ extensions, Numba and so on) and also around distributing the tools (e.g. conda packaging). I've been wondering if Go would provide a reasonable middle ground in performance and ease of use between Python and C++ here. I'm not actually convinced yet but think its worth exploring. Noticed there's a BioGo project that's been around for a while, not sure of its uptake. Probably figuring out how well Go works for this domain will be a hobby project for me this year.
The historic goal of the free software movement has been to make sure that users have freedom over their computing environment. Implicit in that is the idea that other people do not have freedom to mess with your computing environment, that the computer runs exactly what you tell it to run, no more and no less.

To that end, the goal is in fact similar from a technical perspective to TiVoization! The only difference is that TiVoization is where the manufacturer of a device controls the device after it's been sold to a new owner, and lockdown is where the owner controls their own device. For the most part, this is a social constraint, not a technical one.

It shouldn't be surprising that the technical tools are similar between the two opposed social goals of user freedom and corporate control. The entire idea of free software licensing depends on the idea that software is copyrightable and its copyrights can be enforced in court. The free software movement demands access to source code to enable user freedom, but companies also demand access to source code for business continuity reasons using source code escrow services (if not for ongoing access - Microsoft licenses Windows source code to major customers, for instance). The GNU Project demands their contributors sign papers assigning copyright so that GNU is in a better legal position to enforce licenses, but so do proprietary software development shops, for exactly the same reason. They just are achieving different things.

But there is an important way in which this has technical implications: the owner of the device needs to be able to change. TiVo does not need to change who is the admin. That is why the lockdown work is harder. Remember that TiVoization actually happened without any of this work, and in fact happened so long ago that barely anyone remembers what a "TiVo" is.
I should probably say my experience was with a credit union ;)
