I've been in this exact same situation and it is a real struggle. Banks and the SBA are incredibly useless when it comes to loans for startups/small tech companies, especially the clueless loan approval folks. Supposedly there are a number of government grants meant to help tech companies secure financing without taking on insurmountable debt, but I have yet to find them.

Under U.S. law, are there circumstances in which it could be acceptable to deliberately crash a plane?

In this case, it clearly wasn't (crashing on public lands with risk of starting a wildfire and polluting them), but if you wanted to crash a plane for a scene in a movie, could you do so? Maybe crashing on private property in a predetermined location with appropriate fire department support and prior notification to air traffic control about your intentions?

Can manufacturers perform genuine crashes (from controlled flight) on private property for safety tests, the way car manufacturers perform tests with crash test dummies?
The article says the FAA can't charge him with a crime, only remove his license

If the FAA can't charge him, who is responsible for that? The local district attorney where he crashed?
It really is. Because it's man adapting to the measure and not the other way around. The 5 year old isn't going to drink that beer. It's gangly teenagers up to no good. The shopkeeper should totally give the wine bottle to the little kid running an errand for their parents, but not to the teenager looking to impress their friends.

My mom asked me to pick up prescriptions at the local pharmacy starting I was 6-7 (we lived a few blocks away). The pharmacists gave them to me because she knew me and my parents. Blanket laws are easy to enforce, but they remove precisely this individual agency.
Oh I've heard a bit about them. Looks like a cool place, will definitely look into it! Thanks!

I personally never had to leave IntelliJ Idea for merge conflict resolution. So I am super used to it and think it is very convenient.

[as far as I understand this is similar in philosophy to a diff3. True?]

And while searching a bit, it seems that a similar UI is planned for VScode later in May 2022. Cf https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/37350

[Btw, a comment mentions that Sublime Merge already has a UI similar to the one in IntelliJ]

Definitely depends also where. I grew up in the 90's, in Estonia, and had the exact same childhood as you did. Now it's the 20's and from what I can see, not much has changed here. There are certainly more rules and regulations to stop speeding cars near schools and kindergartens, but I regularly see kindergarten children roaming around freely. I'm pretty sure this is a culture thing.
> Texas spike was set to the max price by the regulator...

IIRC, a member of ERCOT who resigned claimed high-ranked state politician(s) pressured the regulator to do set the max price - so it wasn't the independent judgment of the regulator that the system was working; or that this was the solution.

FELinks is a fork of ELinks, the primary difference being that it's maintained. Notably, Debian uses the FELinks source to build the elinks package.

Major C projects that took 20+ years to develop won't be all replaced in a couple of years, but that doesn't mean the replacement hasn't started. C was the best/only option for almost a half of a century, so it has built a lot of momentum and legacy, but the niches where it's the best/only tool continue to shrink.

C is unusual that it doesn't have a single 1:1 replacement, and few C projects are being directly rewritten in something else. Instead, C is getting sidelined, and not growing into new areas where the software is moving. Many other languages are now an obvious choice for things that used to be C's domain. I remember in the early 90s desktop apps were primarily in C (assembly and Pascal second), but nowadays apps can be written in a variety of languages, including scripting ones, or even entirely displaced by webapps. For early web services, if Perl was too slow, C was the second choice. Now C has been pushed to lower-level plumbing, and even that started being eroded by golang and Rust. Even games that used to be strictly C/C++ territory have moved to C++ engine + scripting (with the proportion of scripting growing). Unity games use C# (e.g. I was shocked that BeatSaber, a low-latency VR game, is in C#).

I've been similarly waiting for the demise of x86. x86 used to be the best/only option for a very long time, and is still having a momentum in desktops, but a whole new, larger mobile computing world has sprung without it.
Um, no -- the goal of GNU was to provide free software, so the analogy would be: "These GNU people only produce things for their weird philosophy. I don't care about freedom, give me software I can use."

And guess what? In just 4 years since GNU started, they had "assembler, an almost finished portable optimizing C compiler (GCC), an editor (GNU Emacs), and various Unix utilities (such as ls, grep, awk, make and ld)" [0]. Something that could be used even if you don't care about Stallman or software freedom.

If the goal of Web3 was to create blockchain libraries, no one would complain. But people, like you, say that Web3 has "useful applications" -- so what are those? Web3 is around for way long than 4 years, and it has much more people working too.

The README covers a lot of ground: internationalized domain names, internationalized local parts, SMTPUTF8, Unicode normalization, not performing SMTP checks, not permitting obsolete email syntax, and missing UCS-4 support in Python 2.7.
Two thoughts I had while watching this video:

1) Given how dry it was, what if this asshole started a forest fire. It would take little more than a spark in that tinder dry scrub.

2) Given the terrain, it's too bad he didn't stumble across one ore more angry rattlesnakes or cougars.
I'd love to see an answer to this, too. Just to learn a little bit more about the field!

> Banks and the SBA are incredibly useless when it comes to loans for startups/small tech companies

I mean isn't that the point? Banks loan money for low risk which is why they're able to offer those low rates.

Small usually means risky, not always, but definitely the default.
I wonder how many kids died in cars because we can't as a society trust parents run quick errands while leaving the kiddo alone in the house until they are like, 25 years old.
It's been done, not least for airliner safety testing - there's video out there of an old airliner (707 or 727, I want to say) being deliberately crashed by remote control into a set of spikes in order to observe the breakup.

I assume there's some permitting regime, and of course you'd need to find a place to do it, but probably nothing too onerous by the standard of being able to buy a whole airplane specifically to wreck it.

edit: I was close! It's a Boeing 720, a short-range variant of the 707. https://youtu.be/Jpc32JQXT_0
Yes. Would be helpful if OP or a mod could fix this =] Title should ideally be "SimulaVR: Lenses and Schematics".

Amazon Linux is pretty much just CentOS rebranded extra goodies.
Not OP, but my take was they meant something even more "cloud native", something build from the ground up with cloud in mind. Like an OS based on lambdas or something weird.
> You can't combat this enormous societal change by making an individual effort to let your kids do more by themselves.

Maybe not, but you can do things like:

* Live downtown instead of in a suburb

* Ask your school / DOT to close the street in front of the school during dropoff and pickup hours

* Walk with your kid to school instead of driving them

* Support higher-density development in your area
I have used AITA once to confirm some pretty gaslighty behavior and got nothing but serious responses that followed my line of thought.

Sometimes you really just need this kind of thing.
So, those South America consultants, why are they not using crypto right now? The tech to transfer money via crypto has been around for a long time.

Could it be that crypto has a number of practical problems, so unless you are a crypto enthusiast or wanting to ~~steal~~ raise some money, traditional methods are more available?
Fortunately, the Vale compiler doesn't allow shadowing. It also says "Did you forget the set keyword?" in case they meant to modify x.

I totally agree with you. To clarify, your device is too expensive for me because I live in a country which has huge import taxes and a currency which is really devaluated in relation to the US dollar. If I could purchase it without paying those taxes , I would have already made a preorder. This was not a complaint about the price .
Yes, but not of the places you listed are where you would put solar to supply California. If anything they will likely be used to move excess solar power out of California.

The map of solar production shows a compromise between building it in the most efficient place vs where demand and incentives is located. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power_in_the_United_Stat...

Expected Value is what you get when you account for the opportunity cost, the opportunity cost is precisely what can turn equity into a negative EV.

> Even on today's high performance CPUs, which are far more sophisticated than the primitive 5-stage scalar in-order R4300 (not sure it even had any branch prediction actually).

I believe it didn't, with a short scaler pipeline (only 5 stages) the cost of waiting for a conditional branch to be calculated is relatively less, and MIPS of that era actually exposed the idea of a "delay slot" - rather than pausing the pipeline while calculating the jump, it still executed the next few instructions - so they were always executed no matter if the jump was actually taken or not. Filling this with NOPs makes it equivalently the same as a pipeline bubble, but I guess the intention was in some cases it could actually be used for something.

I think a few RISC architectures of that era did similar things, their entire goal was simplicity after all, the argument being that something like a branch predictor and the logic required to reverse speculatively executed instructions "should" instead be used to make the CPU smaller or higher performing in the best case (either as implementing better performing but larger logic, or higher frequency due to shorter critical paths).

I think this was dropped in later ISAs as it confused a lot of people, it wasn't well used by compilers (which is interesting as much of the MIPS ISA was explicitly designed around what would be easy for a compiler rather than handrolled asm), and improving process technology made transistors to handle the expensive superscaler speculative execution architectures relatively cheaper.
> Further, it seems like there are a number of people unhappy with the homepage UI,

One thing I really dislike about the homepage UI is where it plays videos (w/ audio at full volume) when you hover over things.

That autoplay thing actually sped me up on the homepage. I tried to find something to watch faster so random videos would stop screaming down my speakers. Now that I think about it, that might be the intended effect.

Bah. Better off without all that. I just download movies now, it's a lot easier (and cheaper too, judging by Netflix's current prices).
I don't care about logical fallacies in this case because the world doesn't work in a purely logical way. If programming was purely logical, it wouldn't be so fad-driven, for instance. And reputation ends up being one of the best ways to filter out useless noise in basically every useful discovery system we programmers have come up with.
>I assume there's some permitting regime,

There probably isn't a specific permit or process for two primary reasons.

Firstly, crashing a plane intentionally is a rare thing and (until now, apparently) isn't the kind of thing the riff raff do so there's no reason to throw up barriers to keep the riff raff out nor enough volume requests to warrant a an institutional process for dishing out said denials.

Second, it is naive to expect a government agency to stick their neck out and accept some degree of liability for something like this (which is what approving a comprehensive plan would do). It's not like there's highly developed industry standards for plane crashing they can rely on.

The closest you'll get to a "permit" is probably the FAA knowing your intentions in advance and not objecting.
All of the people who died were protesters. As I wrote earlier, I would understand more if the focus of the news and related stories was why so many people died at the protest. That's not the focus though. The focus is about how horrible the insurrection or coup is.
I live in Tokyo and just today on my way to coffee, saw several kindergarten-aged children crossing busy main roads to go to school. It does happen and happens nearly every day.

This show likely does help prevent accidents (and yes 2 year olds aren't running errands every day) but the main point still stands, kids are living more autonomously in some ways in their every day life.
I assume you mean they don't know enough yet? You can improve their state so that crossing the street is quite safe. What do they need to know to avoid being a pedestrian fatality? Here are the top three things.[0]

1. Don't walk under the influence.
2. Don't walk at night.
3. Only cross at an intersection.

> he had a fire extinguisher concealed under his pants right above his ankle.

This was also something I just learned about the incident an hour ago, and in fact he has a fire extinguisher on both legs, which are relatively evident in his video:

- Bulge on his right calf when jumping out of the plane at 2m06s into the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbYszLNZxhM&t=126s

- You can then see the bottom of the fire extinguisher on his left leg lit up by the sun for a couple frames at 2m11s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbYszLNZxhM&t=131s
Interesting how you seem to think you are helping the community by not helping the community.
There's at least the tie between conspiracy, "bankers" and places like Russia wanting to escape a dollar/euro denominated economy.
I would have thought there would be a felony for intentionally crashing an aircraft
When we were raising our series C, a potential investor (which we did not go with) wanted a requirement to cancel/claw back all _vested_ and _early exercised_ options that employees who had worked for us had and to put in place a buy-back-at-exercise-cost-or-cancel for current employees.

No thanks. But it was eye opening.
One sounds like an expense, the other sounds like a transfer from one pocket to the other while allowing for shifting the public perception any way desired while retaining unparalleled access to capital.
I just hated the banned because it was large and took away even more vertical space on my already limited screen. At some point about a full quarter of the screen was these fixed banners(!!) I userCSS'd it out, but they kept changing the HTML/CSS all the time so it kept breaking.

I also don't especially like BLM as an organisation or movement because I think they're ineffective at best and contra-productive at worst, but that's okay: I don't mind seeing messages I disagree with, including on programming sites – everyone is free to use their site to promote whatever message they wish. But it's unfortunate that any conversation on this topic tend to very devolve to "against BLM = against Black people = literally Hitler!!11" or even "against banner that makes the actual page to use = against Black people = literally Hitler!!11" Well, no: I criticise BLM because I broadly agree with their goals, and am frustrated with them they are, in my opinion, not doing the right things to address them.

It's that part that I find the most annoying: it's one thing if you put up a banner and we can have a conversation about whether this is the best way to address this, whether we should address it at all, and things like that. But if that's not possible things get pretty frustrating pretty fast.

Probably a good choice to not go with a! = 0 which could easily be confused with a != 0 (which would of course throw a compiler error on ‘a’ used but not defined).

That being said I’ve never had a problem with python’s variable definition and assignment syntax being the same where TFA claims it was a failure. Honestly, I even support the walrus operator for the specific reason it was introduced — heresy, I know…
Jira lacks all sorts of table stakes features, like the ability to view your backlog grouped by epics.

I definately react mentally to things happening in my gut. I suffer from IBS and the only times I have ever had dark moods in my adult live was during IBS episodes.

I've even gone to the ER once for something I couldn't describe as pain but rather as "intense horror" which seemed to just confuse them.
No, we can make engineering calculations, however those calculations don't support the strawman you're promoting.

What happened in Texas was a direct and utterly predictable result of market policy that did not value resiliency vs spot price. Let's just pause to take into full scale the failure of the TX energy market during that emergency: gas turbine producers, facing the highest spot rates they will likely ever see, couldn't produce into the grid because the grid was designed &()*(&)BN dumb. End of story from the technology side for all this sophomoric lazy lassie faire libertarian blather.

California has its issues, but compared to the scale of demand is a very effective power grid. I grew up in KS. If the institutions there had even 1% of the exogenous problems faced by CA providers they'd turn into a clown circus on fire real fast.
Guaranteed 15%+ ROI. Really makes you wonder why more people aren't investing in solar
There would have to be harm...I mean I think so. Like if he made sure nobody got hurt? No damage, no risk?
I don’t see why not. The FAA didn’t say that his violation was that he intentionally crashed a plane.

> the F.A.A. said he had violated federal aviation regulations and operated his single-engine plane in a “careless or reckless manner so as to endanger the life or property of another.”
Looks ugly, heavy weight, low quality display and resolution, noisy fans, low battery and high electricity usage.
Why would you need to make that criminal? It's already a crime to do something criminal like hurting someone else whether it's with a plane, a car, or a knife.
Not necessarily, it's about collateral. Banks want real assets, not IP, which they value at 0. This isn't really the case though, it's just they don't know how to valuate it. Sure, it may be close to 0 in certain cases, but if someone with a collection of garage sale knick knacks can get a loan to open a flea market with their inventory as part of the collateral, why can't I with just IP?
Really fun article for those who had chance to grew in one of worst holes of the freshly decayed USSR at nineteens.
In 1984, NASA and the FAA deliberately crashed a remote-piloted Boeing 720 as a test of various safety technologies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlled_Impact_Demonstratio...

In 2012, a team of television studios crashed a Boeing 727 in Mexico (to film footage) because US authorities would not permit the test: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Boeing_727_crash_experime...

So I'm guessing that outside of very specific scenarios, you would have a hard time getting permission to deliberately crash a plane anywhere in the US.
