It's hard because ADs don't have a brief line of text that you can clip out (following HN guidelines) yet you don't want to have title that's multiple lines long. The title does indicate that it's not all planes ("Some") but fails on the bigger issue that it's a pretty limited set of airport runways.

From a software perspective (I spent a lot of time writing software for CAD systems and CNC equipment), the combination of certain latitude/longitude values and 270 degrees (which is Pi in Radians) sounds like a classic divide-by-zero problem.

We had a potentially less dangerous issue with a CAD system that could show the tool path of the generated CNC. The CAD system shared the path formulas with the CNC equipment and for a certain "design", the CAD system showed the tool immediately jumping to a location about two inches away. This had never been observed on the CNC equipment after years of operation. We loaded the same CNC into the milling machine without a tool or work piece and sure enough, the same instruction/coordinate combination caused the mill to jump those two inches at its maximum feed-rate. Needless to say, finding and fixing this bug became our top priority!
There is no war to be stopped, only falling ratings of Biden and Johnson.

There does not have to be any specific evidence of the plot itself. It would be enough to show the necessary military buildup, but apparently the current Russian deployments near Ukraine are not enough and not in the configuration for attack.
US government has a track record of lying about international affairs. It’s time to stop listening them.
While this is true, to some extent, it also implies that "being inefficient" is necessarily bad.

Optimizing for efficiency has led to some of the worst problems we've seen in recent years. Just off the top of my head, "lean staffing", which is an abusive management practice, and the inability to comfortably withstand shocks to the system, as we saw when COVID hit.
>If some other nation had done a similar air strike which killed innocent civilians, there would be sanctions one after another.

You mean just like Russia recently did in Africa?

>On 16 and 17 January 2022 at least 65 civilians were killed by Russian mercenaries from the Wagner Group supported by armed forces in Aïgbado and Yanga villages near Bria in the Central African Republic during operation against rebels from Coalition of Patriots for Change.

These "mercenaries" have just been relocated by Russia to the Ukrainian border.

Has the world already forgot the daily Russian bombings in Syria a few years ago that killed thousands of civilians?
Russia and Russian-armed Syrian groups were responsible for the vast majority of casualties in Syria.
My comment is just as germane to your clarification of your position. If you were to say that the open web has been overshadowed or marginalized, I would concur.

It makes me wonder what if they had accidently fat-fingered the "Russia DOESN'T Invade Ukraine" version

(tfa Quote to linked Bloomberg retraction)
We prepare headlines for many scenarios and the headline “Russia Invades Ukraine” was inadvertently published around 4 p.m. ET today on our website. We deeply regret the error. The headline has been removed and we are investigating the cause.
>Ukraine is a strategic buffer between Russia

That's what Russians say, but if you stop thinking it, it makes no sense.
I’d say tapping an unused letter would disable it and grey it out. Then have a backspace button to remove latest letter, re-enabling it in the grid.
They objectively are safer.
It’s a fair point. They were sort of talking past each other about information and evidence.
This information isn't being used to try and start a war, but to try and stop a war. There's a big difference to begin with.

A second difference is that that was 20 years, and 3 administrations ago.
Recent? You mean dating back to at minimum the Spanish-American, and possibly the Civil war?
When I worked retail we had pictures up in the break room of known local shoplifters and folks who tried to pass bad checks. We would recognize them when they came in, and tell them they had to leave or we would call the police.

But: we did not ask the police to maintain this list for us.
This is a straw man. Something closer would be. You have a blog. You like the content I create. So you form a contract with me to development content and put it on your blog. Part of the contract is that you are the exclusive distributor of my content. You then decide you don’t like the content I’m putting out and cease to distribute my content.

AFAIK the pilots decides who are eligible to get on a flight or not. So I guess they can say that they don’t want to have people with a prior history on their plane. The pilots are responsible for the flights safety.

On the other hand, the goal of it is market share, not some novel coin. They have a stable coin and that honestly leads me to give the company goals the benefit of the doubt.

And this is also half baked thoughts

How about "Some Boeing 737's cant land on some runways due to programming issue"

The current title is literally incorrect, they can all land due west just fine except for some particular runways
I don't even know what to say. Do you understand the cost and logistical challenges of such a troop movement? Is it lost on you that Russia already invaded Ukraine once in the last 10 years? The false flag attack has historical basis and is so obviously plausible that I'm convinced half of the commenters here are either astroturfing or are just trying to score cheap "don't trust the govt, man!" points.

This is a serious issue, millions of lives hang in the balance here, and all the commenters here want to play armchair general. I'm in disbelief.
Proof of Stake protocols typically use variants of BFT consensus, which support only up to 33% malicious voting power. So no, they do not protect against 51% attacks like Nakamoto consensus protocols do.

I just got a smartphone, after putting it off for decades. I've pared it down so that it only does 2 things in the background... take phone calls, and SMS. I've turned off all other notifications.

I bought it in the first place to do 2fa, which works.

I don't use it any more than I do my old dumb phone.

Why would you do anything other than take calls or texts on a phone?

As for desktops/laptops, there are no safe operating systems suitable for use on the internet. Contrary to your opinion, Linux isn't safe, neither is Windows, MacOS, iOS or Android. Nothing supports capability based security. Nothing will be safe until it's in widespread use. The fact it was invented in the 1970s and remains largely unknown is proof we're on the worst timeline.
Makes sense, but still, the advertising is a bit misleading, and I honestly think that it's on purpose.

There will absolutely not be a war. Both sides got what they wanted (oil prices over a hundred US a barrel, and a significant bump to defense stocks), meaning the milindustrial complex can continue for a while longer and Russia gets out of its economic slump.

It's a win/win.
Not sure if I agree that being exposed to explicit content sometimes as a child is on the same level of damage as constant vaccine misinformation/disinformation.
Ukraine is an independent country, and that gives it the right to manage its own foreign policy. Russia is upset that Ukraine, like almost every other post-Soviet country, would rather be in the US/EU sphere of influence than the Russian sphere of influence, but that is Russia's problem, not Ukraine's problem.
I perform open mic stand up comedy two nights a week. Made a lot of great non-tech comedian friends. I also go to in person tech meetups too to make some tech friends.

I live in a pedestrian friendly city (Taipei) which helps, here's some general tips for meeting new people:

1. Get roommates. Not for everyone, but moving in with two other people even though I could afford my own place made it really easy for me to jump into their friend circles quickly.

2. Meetup.com, Eventbrite and similar sites. Just pick a couple of things you’re vaguely interested in (for me it was language exchanges, salsa dancing, board games, and startup meetups) and show up every week. Even if you’re shy, you’ll naturally start chatting to people after a couple of events.

3. When you meet a couple of people, make your own events and invite them. E.g. If you meet someone at an event who likes rock climbing send them a text the next day saying “Hey, I’m going to a new rock climbing gym on Wednesday, do you want to meet me there?” Once you invite people to a few things they‘ll start inviting you too.

Does all this take effort on your part? Yes. But its worth it. And you’ll get better. I was bad at this when I was in LA, but after working on these skills I built up a friend circle in Taipei (arguably harder because of language barriers) within a couple months. Good luck and don’t give up!
And it's not like the US government hasn't already been caught lying many times ( Iraq WMD, drone strikes, etc. etc.)
I really don’t think it matters at this point. The west isn’t going to do anything to Russia directly (e.g. through nukes or armed forces). Whether there’s 1m between the borders or 1000km.
Or the old Iraq has WMDs, it must be invaded!
“In other words, think of HVM as Rust, except replacing the borrow system by a very cheap .clone() operation that can be used and abused with no mercy. This is the secret sauce! Easy, right? Well, no. There is still a big problem to be solved: how do we incrementally clone a lambda? There is a beautiful answer to this problem that made this all possible. Let's get technical!”

Every third paragraph feels like the autogenerated flavour text gibberish of a kerbal space program mission description.
Why motive would the US government have to lie about this, though? We’ve already said we aren’t going to go to war over Ukraine no matter what Russia does. So why look for a pretext to go to war with Russia when we just said we don’t want to go to war with Russia? Especially when their actions against Ukraine are reason enough. We don’t need any excuse to do exactly what we’re doing, which is providing materiel and troops along the NATO border - that’s just a treaty obligation.

So why would the US lie about this? I’m very open to ideas - I’m not one to trust the government - but I just don’t see any motive here. It seems like an honest warning that Russia is going to lie and try to make it seem like Ukraine attacked them.
Paint is not infrastructure. I regularly cycle to work clocking up about 200km a week. Entitlement, aggression and abuse by motorists has a major impact on the numbers of people cycling. Segregated cycle routes are essential.

There is no mention of traditionally car-centric sprawling cities such as LA or Phoenix and their biking infrastructure or lack thereof. Anyone living in such a city seeing progress on biking infrastructure?
Something a bit different from what Powell did at the UN in 2003? "Trust us" is the biggest bullshit the national security apparatus has pulled on the US population and frankly it's disgusting there hasn't been a single law to outlaw bullshit "declassified" press conferences without a single piece of evidence. 19 years later there's people defending vague ideas like "we can't show you or they'll know!!!!1". No, you have such evidence, you take your agent out and you publish it in order for the world to know and to drive Russia away from doing it. Spouting things with no evidence is the real false flag campaign.
We are talking about Russian territory here. On another hand, some NATO countries are actively massing their troops inside of some country which never invited them... It's completely different, of course!
I will never ever forget watching Colin Powell deliver his Iraq speech. I was a child and very impressionable. I had the Desert Storm trading cards. All of them. I thought wow here is this credible general telling us how how bad these people are.

Years and years later I understood the depravity of his speech and the actions of the "the west" in starting that war. I think it is the only time in my life that I felt truly betrayed, and the realization happened while I was thinking about the topic in a grocery store aisle. My hands felt clammy.

Even more years later my job at a large software company had me extremely close to Powell. Like in the same room with him for long stretches of time and having 1-on-1 conversations. Every fibre in me wanted to say to him, calmly: You told a lie and it killed a lot of innocent people. Their lives matter too.

I didn't say it. I did my job and kept it at that. I don't know to this day if I had a moral obligation to say something, but ultimately I didn't because I knew he didn't care.

So yes, false flags. They only happen when something is inevitable. War is here.
Sounded like the guy had just heard so much stuff he considered pure bullshit, that he just ran out of suspension of disbelief.

As far as really important stuff (perhaps this isn't a good example?), they could actually just reveal everything, after all having an informed public seems pretty important in a democratic society. Does that ever happen? Get all the secret agents out and just blow the lid? It would have to be going-to-war level stuff though.
But not under these circumstances. Was that not clear? If you’re a model of clarity, I’d rather be confused.
The problem is the asymmetry of costs of a false negative and a false positive. A false positive means some dude with an unlucky name has to drive instead of flying. A false negative means some terrorist gets on a plane, blows it up, and some politicians get blamed for it.

Though, yeah, it feels like a bit of security theatre. A more transparent process would probably help. Maybe the thinking is that it would jeopardise sources?
Exactly. It's not like this is the state department saying "We have proof, and are therefore going to invade a sovereign nation." (As previously)

It's, we have proof of this thing, so we're announcing it because that's possibly a good in and of itself.

And the concrete actions we're taking are deploying some troops to NATO countries that want to host them and sending weapons to Ukraine. Neither of these seem like unreasonable actions, considering the numerical disparity between local Russian units and NATO ones.
> I don't really understand why anyone who claims to be a proponent of a free market economy has an issue with a private corporation deciding what type of content they want to broadcast.

I don't think this is some irreconcilable gotcha. I support the free market as a tool when it delivers on the benefits that it can provide. Those are increasing choice and decreasing costs through increased competition and commoditization. If problems show up I'm happy to have legislation introduced to tackle those, such as not allowing food with known toxins to be sold.

It's like any tool. I support cars when they're used to deliver on the benefits that they can provide; getting people from point A to point B, and giving them the freedom to move between arbitrary locations. When they're used to run pedestrians over then I don't support that usage, and I will support legislation that limits the use of the tool in that manner.

Likewise if the free market is used as a way to reduce the availability of content, I can be against that while still supporting it as a guiding concept.
What seems to be missed in the comments thus far, is that rather than use programming to generate art, it seems to me that programming itself is an artistic media.

Think of that kind of old school hacker spirit of doing things like making koans or incredibly short but capable programs, or using and abusing some deep hardware or compiler details to turn a bug into something useful. Some of those things are mind-blowingly clever made by virtuosos of code. In those cases, the program itself is the art. It'd be cool to see an exhibit of such things.

I disagree with you, they’re top games because they have lots of players playing them. Not because they’re made by a big studio.
For ex: COD, Battlefield, NFS, Forza, GTA 5, RDR2, MSFS, Valorant, CS GO. These attract a lot of players and people spend a lot of time ranking up in those games and also money. PC gamers love to call themselves master race and ridicule console players as peasants. Also PS and Xbox also have lot of exclusives that attract a lot of players. For me Switch games feel like something I would play when Im bored, not really an immersive kind of experience.
No need for deselecting. Just add Undo and Reset buttons and that'll do it nicely.

For a minimalist version of the same, add just the Undo button and do a full board reset on long-press.
Even better if you can rearrange them within the square.

I’ve become a little cynical of FOSS (though I remain a supporter) because of politics and infighting and constant reinventing the wheel.

A perfect example is on this website if you click the “Stands” tab. So much unnecessary reinventing the wheel there, it’s sad.

In my idea world (everyone has an ideal world), Linux would be standardized in everything but GUI, and the DEs would run their own distributions with their respective DEs.

But of course I’m going to get a lot of replies about how more uniformity among distributions is bad. I’ll read them but I still think we are way too divided for desktop success and and are spending way too many resources copying each other.
Is there any practical example on this? Whats a common use casE?
My city wants to support bikes but it is poorly executed. Ideally you have a street for cars and trucks, then outside the lanes you have parking for vehicles separating the traffic from the cyclists, and beyond that a sidewalk for pedestrians and wheelchairs.

What we have is a shoulder that is now painted and has plastic guards that separate the cars from bikes. What that results in is you now have a painted bike path inaccessible to the street sweep that accumulates glass and debris and is very slick during rain which is often. There is no signage except for the main path either. Everything remains a grassroots effort with citizens making signage and apps for maps.
Air Marshals also work for the TSA, not the FAA. Much of the funding for this security is paid by direct taxes on tickets.

A /56 is a good fit for a residential ISP. Initially some ISPs gave out a /48.

A /56 gives you 256 subnets. A /60 only 16. I'm happy they are erring on the side of potential innovation. ISPs have no idea how IPv6 will be used.

A few years back, I was running a ton of various services from home, various APs, community mesh network, services over VPN. It worked well on a /56. (Thank you Teksavvy)
I would turn your first sentence around on you. I can't understand how anyone who sees the garbage we're inundated with in all forms of media could be a proponent of an unfettered free market economy. We used to have laws to help ensure we have media we can trust. Then they repealed those laws and we got Fox News... and, incomprehensibly, it got steadily worse from there. The current situation is untenable.
Cool bug.
>Money killed (or is in the process of killing) podcasting.

I see a whole lot of podcasts out there. They're mostly either something that someone does on the side either for fun or as part of their jobs or they're ad supported. (Honestly, I'm often a bit surprised that modest advertising supports obviously sizable staffs--even if I'm sure no one is getting rich.)
> “believe us” with no supporting or corroborating evidence

There's reason to be skeptic but it's also extremely naive to think evidence of that nature can just be handed as proofs without blowing multiple sources

"No supporting evidence" oh I'm sure there's plenty of circumstantial evidence (like the satellite photos). Putin knows how to play the game of plausible deniability together with plausible aggressiveness.

"Oh but Iraq", we should definitely remember about it. It doesn't help that Saddam played himself. No kidding, he's like a person acting like he's shoplifting something but in the end isn't. Except you just don't get told off at the store door, you get invaded and overthrown.

The US would lie about this to have an excuse to slap more sanctions or to send arms defensively to their adversaries' border. Which they are doing already. It's not that hard to figure out since it's been done to death (literally) many times since the end of WWII.
