At the very beginning, aviation had to solve the very same problems that sailors used to encounter at sea (navigation, precise position), so they naturally used the same algorithms and equipment.

That is how naval terminology entered the lexicon.

By now, it is so deeply ingrained that switching the entire world (well, there are exceptions) to the metric standard would likely cause some preventable loss of life.

At least the knot/mile system is fairly internally regular. We tolerate a much less regular one, with a lot of weird exceptions (the Gregorian calendar) out of inertia.
I think that is already covered under lower your expenses or raise your income.
So does someone monitor each and every flight for anomalies like this?

Or is there some software that takes in the data from each flight and spots differences like this, there could be several more instances in the global data if this is a manual process.

Could be an interesting little project, although I guess the data isn't publicly available.
> The checklists bring the aircraft back to a known state.

No, it doesn't, clearly. It provides a procedure that can be followed to put it to a known state, but its existence does not put it into a known state, with certainty. A reset puts it into a known state, with certainty. That known reset state probable wouldn't be useful, but can be set to be least-damaging, where a checklist can then be used to then put it into a "good" state.

My assumption is that many planes don't allow a reset to be trivial, since levers and whatnot are involved.

I also assume the FAA/military has done research into this and, probably, found that requiring a manual checklist resulted in stricter adherence to the checklist.
Heh, no wonder I only ever find false morels...

On the flip side, after moving to the Pacific North West from northern Europe I simply cannot get over how long the mushroom season is here.
As a teacher, I am rather surprised that you would frown on trial and error exploration.

My first program was written on punch cards, It took a shoe box full of them to complete trivial assignments. I was thankful when I got to use my first line editor, my first page editor, my first general editor and my first IDE.

I don't believe anything would be gained by going back to carving programs out of stone tablets.

Intel Is Bringing a Feature Upgrade to Linux That'll Make Windows Users Jealous
Thank you, I put in a lot of effort in that README, since I've seen a lot of other projects where they have been less than impressive.

> Are you planning to make the app usable by non programmer users in the future?

I do not have such plan in the near future. A major concern is the cost of supporting such users, and a minor one is the ease of understanding of the basic building blocks (events, topics, structures) since modeling your data using these requires a programmer mindset.
One word: yes.

And energy prices, of course. More demand = higher prices.

Also keep in mind that cryptocurrencies become harder to mine with time, therefore the pursuit of more powerful hardware and more energy isn't going to stop, therefore there's absolutely no way prices of hardware and energy will return to normal until governments won't stop this nonsense.

Pushing for nuclear or carbon is just hiding the problem under the carpet: we don't need more energy because we already have plenty, but we must stop wasting it, especially in a way that is clearly bringing us to a path in which we will need more and more every year.
I beg to differ. You'd be surprised how many users probably would not recognize any difference whatsoever as long as the hacker got things looking relatively identical.

> creates new challenges that may nullify the positive aspects

It's a good thing because it means that finally something is changing.

We're developing a shared language and having a discussion about these really prevalent untreated mental issues.

I'm watching people discover that they're actually not "lazy" or "stupid" or "not good enough" or "an introvert", but that they actually have "sensory issues" or "meltdowns" or "executive dysfunction" or "social anxiety".

Simply having the language to discuss these things is very powerful. It reminds me a lot of when gay people started labeling things and creating cultural norms. Or when "new atheism" spread through the internet and made not believing a mainstream acceptable position (well, mostly, we're getting there).

I remember the first time I met other atheists and realized that I wasn't crazy after all. Tons of people are having that moment now for mental health disorders.

Also, you might not realize the scale of the problem. The estimated number of just children suffering with mental health disorders is about 10% and increasing (primarily ADHD, anxiety, depression). The real number is probably double that.
100% this! At least Firefox with 1password seems to handle it okay.
I don't see any quivalence. It just reminded me of that argumentations. By being far fetched, emotionally appealing story (even to me), which is completely insane when you look at the problem and claims rationally.

> I don't think that the message is "any and all means must be executed", but rather that gambles being made for the judged 'greater good' should be a human faculty rather than an automated decision making process that has taken the human factor out of the question completely.

Preventing people wholesale from taking some gambles is a decission made by human faculty on the basis of statistics. Technology just enforces that decission.
I think the current issue is that lots of people are intellectually excited by the framework stuff; libraries, that python project to implement commands, etc. I do totally get that, I definitely find it more interesting.

What would help much more as an end-user would be integrating things nicely into window managers. I am optimistic that it is on a roadmap, but I don't really get how all the pieces fit together. I hope in Linux it doesn't end up somehow requiring every application to implement support individually, it seems like a clever HID driver could do it.

I suppose such things could be model independent.
This is the general point that most of the press and general public fail to appreciate when thinking about radiation risk.

Similarly after Fukushima, there were terrified articles about how radiation could be detected in fish across the Pacific. But as you say, at what level? Certainly orders of magnitude lower than your baseline exposure. We just have very accurate detectors!
> Any cash comes from buyers and if there is any attack all the buyers are scared away.

Well, assuming any kind of rationality in the crypto market is always hazardous: meme coins (doge coin, shiba inu) are worth billions in market cap, so do hard forks of bitcoin, and Ethereum didn't not collapse after they decided to rollback a bunch of things they didn't like during the DAO “hack” while they are advertising Ethereum as immutable and tampering resistant.

You can never be sure how this market will react in any event (well, except Elon tweets I guess)
I am going to comment here instead of "You"Tube because it has become a dumbed down platform with decreased personal customization for users. Also, I will not comment on "You"Tube videos because of my unwillingness to give up phone information. "You"Tube should be renamed to CorporaTube because it only benefits the cut-throat corporate oligarchs who bully unconventional intellectuals, outspoken journalists, and politically incorrect comedians through demonitization, dehumanizing censorship, banning acconts, etc.

Julian Assange is a perfect example of why America is controlled by fascist slavers who promote warmongering, fearmongering, and the American dream illusion disguised as the democratic party, republican party, free press, etc. Not that I am surprised considering America is founded on slavery and genocide. So, I do not expect freedom in America for the working class. Also, owners of America value money more than life. So, they antisocially kill people for profit. That is why they terrorize people with their military puppets who keep other countries economically unstable because of war. They also bar people with high I.Q's from becoming cops to prevent the working class from having real power in America. It's to keep the working class dumb and poor while rich men have exclusively cut-throat power in America.

In reality, elite-owned media companies control what the masses watch, hear, and learn from mainstream news.

In reality, a small amount of people, also known as rich men, are living in very wealthy luxury during this COVID pandemic.

In reality, younger generations are less skilled than older generations because of not enough money nor power to afford building skills while smartphones and/or computers decrease their attention spans.

In reality, investigative journalists are being attacked by the ruling class online and outside of the internet world. Because these journalists are trying hard to expose the ruling class. Cut-throat and rich men from the ruling class are trying to keep their reputations clean enough in a pretentiously oppressive way.
Ironically the metric system suffers the same theoretical "error" as the not-an-arc-minute-anymore NM because the meter was originally defined by taking the distance from pole to equator (to the best of their knowledge at the time) and then shifting the decimal point to get something human scale.
This rings true. I live in Doha and a very good family friend is an instructor in the local flag carrier's training program.

He was recently bemoaning the following situation:

1. There was a go-around on some flight or other (for good reason!)

2. Management interpreted this as a failure, and announced that every go-around will now have a full post-mortem with involved pilots requiring more sim time.

3. Pilots now think go-arounds are now off-limits. Oops!

This is a very, very common pattern in the Middle East. When the waterfall goes as planned, service is excellent. When exceptions happen, management freaks out and adds more layers of regulation to make sure the exception can't happen again, failing to recognize that exceptions are sometimes good. For benign stuff like customer service, you get frustrated customers. For important stuff like air safety... well, you end up with close calls or crashed airplanes.

Centralized decision making is a hell of drug.
I didn't intend to, I meant cities are subsidizing suburbia.

You sure went off on a tangent and didn't address a single point, correctly - but mostly at all, I or the article made. Pipes are expensive, underground utilities are expensive, roads are expensive. All of those things scale much better within a city and its population & density. Servicing suburbs IS expensive compared to cities. Water is typically metered and paid for as a user rate not from the general tax fund.

Sense of community is on you, not where you live. Either you're not getting involved or people don't want to be around you.

You are talking right past me to be heard, with subjective facts, not to have a discussion.
This is exactly it. NVIDIA are also not building more factories to meet the demand because they are (correctly) assessing that a bigger risk for them is demand collapse and a glut of used hardware.

> Theoretically, the compiler can form a complete "statically-linked" executable, and even sidestep libc to use kernel APIs.

This isn't theoretical, it's exactly how Virgil generates binaries for x86-darwin, x86-linux, and x86-64-linux. The output is just one binary and no C environment. No C libraries for anything. Instead, the Virgil compiler knows the kernel ABI for the target and library code (written in Virgil) implements a thin portable layer directly in terms of syscalls using raw pointers.

I can assure you that even trivial programs in Fortran and Cobol could be a shoebox or more of punchcards.

Imagine someone knocking your shoebox off the table and having to sort them all by hand. Imagine that on your 3rd run, the reader eats one or more of your cards, then they all start to fail.

Programming was wonderous to be sure, but no one is worse off with an IDE and a interpreted language.

> Korean TV dramas, which rival Turkish TV dramas in many parts of the world

I disagree. While K-drama plots are mostly superficial their execution is quite good and is done with very talented actors. Same goes for the K-pop scene. The competition is overwhelming. Turkish dramas on the other hand are just like South American telenovelas.

Culturally just about everything is bearish right now. I think it has to do with the generally pessimistic feel: the pandemic, the social rift, the threat of a new financial crisis, tensions with China and Russia. Quite a bit like in the 80s behind the Iron Curtain.

This is it.

Izzy could abandon all C++ committee work, like the other 4 million C++ programmers, and just use the language to get work done and accomplish goals. Maybe publish a library or two in Boost that might take off, and finally be pushed into the Standard by appreciative users.

Abandoning a productive language because of not getting enough of your proposals accepted looks pretty sour-grapesy, so to speak.

Almost everybody who got anything into a Standard got only one thing in.

Normal users (including some people with graduate degrees in computer science) can't manage client-side keys or certificates, as anyone who has ever had to support users using ssh key authentication knows. So then you have to provide functionality to do this for them in a foolproof and secure way, which is a big bite to chew.
Gotcha - and I can definitely see the utility with a large userbase.

From a corporate perspective, with a segmented + well-firewalled architecture, and a lot of surface area for injection vulns, I totally agree with you. The article was priming me to think of a flat, single-box solodev environment, where if someone breaks in, they own everything - which is why I think the original post above us mentioning PAKE is getting a lot of questioning.
The systems you describe exist. Backup cameras, blind spot indicators, etc

This seems a very important question, and I'm not finding answers to it satisfactory.

To elaborate, why isn't an autopilot "aware" of whether the aircraft is taking-off/landing or in-flight?

It seems completely mad that an automated flying mode could be engaged in such an obviously suicidal way on a modern bulk carrier aircraft, without so much as a blaring warning and red flashing lights.
I know it can happen, but I would expect the result to be a couple percepts.

OTOH, I did observe up to 20% randomness based on other choices made by optimizer, compiler and linker. In my experience, the main source was different decisions what to inline, especially for release builds with LTO/LTCG. For me, a good workaround was compiler-specific forceinline/noinline function attributes.

However, my C++ code is probably very different from what's in postgres. I usually write and optimize manually vectorized and OpenMP parallelized numeric stuff, FP64 or FP32, doing little to no I/O.

Isn't the airport in Dubai barely above sea level anyways? I mean, if the difference between ground level and sea level is less than a hundred feet, then it seems like it wouldn't account for a plane thinking it was at 4,000 feet when it was really at about 200.
You're comparing fuzzing and property based testing.

Fuzzing is a way of generating a load of random inputs for a system under test. For example if you had a function add(a, b) -> int you'd pass in numbers, strings, bytes, whatever you want and it'll let you know if it breaks.

Property based testing is similar but you check if properties hold across these values and the tool will then shrink this to the simplest case. For example you'd say that add(a, b) takes two integers and regardless of the numbers it should always have the associative property.

So in fuzzing you put in junk an see what happens, in pbt you define properties and check they hold across sane inputs.

> No, because 'well' is then relative to what the 'haves' think it should be for those who have it worst.

No, my metric is chosen over yours because mine is not relative. I don't care how well the worst off had it compared to other people. I care how well off they are. This means that in order to make the world better, the only option is to improve the lives of the worst off.

> Note that you are likely in the top 10% of wealth on this planet at the moment and we're talking about those 90% further down, a very large fraction of which doesn't even qualify for 'sufficient' under the current system.

Hence the focus solely on making them better off. Doesn't matter how well off Elon Musk is if it doesn't improve the lives of those in need.

Entire countries-worth of aviators are irrelevant?
> impractical

Completely agree. My points generally apply a lot more to large scale systems.

> every request is a login request

While it's true that every request has something being verified for authentication purposes, login is a higher risk activity: username/password can get harvested in lots of ways, while session cookies etc. generally are harder to steal, meaning there is less risk of an attacker being present with auth cookies vs seeing a username / password

> account recovery

The way I've seen browsers implement password auth generally blocks interacting with the rest of the page. While a normal login form might have a "forgot password / email" link, with basic auth the user is stuck with a modal that the web site owner has no control over and cannot build such affordances.

> integration with other auth systems

In general, other auth systems take a set of credentials and then issue a token that can be used for further authentication. Basic Auth's design is that the same credential is used for every request. I guess you could build a hybrid auth system that can accept either cookies/headers from an alternative system, or basic auth and just have some sort of rules for dealing with what happens if both are present, but at that point why not just use a normal login page if you're already dealing with support for session tokens of some sort?
I hate them too. Especially since there's nothing that their app can do that can't also be done on their mobile Web site, except their ability to collect more of your data with it.
From wiki:

> The Green Line Extension (GLX) is a construction project to extend the light rail Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) Green Line northwest into Somerville and Medford, two inner suburbs of Boston, Massachusetts.

I’m not familiar with the Boston area, are Medford and Somerville mainly urban extensions of Boston?
Good way to test if it works!
Hard to say tbh, but I'd wager less than a million. For comparison, that's about the yearly death rate (or rather early deaths, which is similar to how we attribute radiation deaths) from coal. Not fossil fuels, coal. The __magnitudes__ are vastly disproportional here.

There's nothing to debate here except what we fear more. But our lack of fear over climate change is how we got here. Because the killer is slow moving and (mostly) invisible.
FYI: firm landings are actually correctly done, especially with rain or drizzle. It should not feel like a crash though.

The worst landing I ever had was when I landed with no sensation of touching down on the runway (a zero feet rate of descent.) Both myself and my CFI went nuts trying to figure out if we were down, or still flying along the runway and about to bounce.
How likely would it be to opensource projects like this?

Yes, the problem with sports (in some circumstances) is that people will think less of you for not knowing some ground-level information. On most topics (the news, TV), people are more excited to explain the basics to you, at least in my experience. If people have to explain the rules of basketball to you, they're likely to think you're an idiot.
