I didn't know it's possible using an unmodified airplane. My first thought was: wouldn't this maneuver simultaneously set off all the alarms bells in the cockpit, as if the plane is crashing to the ground? After a quick search on YouTube, it indeed does, but not really a big deal...

> 2:43 - This parabolic manoeuvre isn't the normal kind of thing that you do in an Airbus, and the software in this plane hasn't been modified because to do so would be a huge effort to re-qualify it. With the normal software, you have the normal alarm saying, "This doesn't seem like a very good idea, guys," and one of the pilots that isn't too busy on the other two axes is turning off the alarms that we don't need to worry about and keeping track of the ones we might need to worry about.

Loads of companies tried back in the late 90's and through the very early 2000's. Zip disks, Jaz, Clik! All had the same problem, the drives needed to read them weren't found on every computer. The winners ended up being writable optical media and USB thumbdrives.

Personally, I wish someone would produce a consumer grade tape system, that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
I'm not sure how much more I could have communicated. "Feature X is done and i'm going to show it on thursday". "OK looks good".

Behind the scenes, without telling me, telling other stakeholders "feature X is not being done".

Demo feature X.

"Whoah, you really blindsided us and made people look like they don't know what they're doing".

Had this been, say, 5 weeks ahead of time, yeah, maybe. This was ... 3 days? Monday afternoon to Thursday afternoon - maybe you could count that as 4.

This had grown to the point where I wasn't allowed to directly talk to the major stakeholders. This demo meeting was the time to talk to them, for a dog and pony show only. 18 months earlier we had more regular (still in a group) communication, but it was possible to talk directly. As this grew, my own ability to talk directly to people was layered with middlemen, which exacerbated this sort of problem (had happened before, but never for something this 'important').

What's... funny about all this is that the earlier PM had made this feature of paramount important, but it turns out ... no one is using it.

EDIT: both at the time, and now, I looked at it as "mistake". we're human and things happen. but it was framed as "lowercased was hiding information, working in secret". this was not the case.
"Legally", based on laws made law by kings of previous generations. The whole point is people asking to change the laws, democratically.
This makes me think of the adage:

-When you are young you have energy and time but no money
-When you are an adult you have money and energy but no time
-When you are old you have time and money but no energy

Obviously the answer is to embrace what you have in the moment but easier said than done.
You chose childish names one'd presumably be embarrassed to say to an outsider, but... Assuming you can stomach saying the project's name out loud, what's to lose?

What method would you propose teams used to name a project, in which "fun" names are discouraged?

Why is that? Is it because of sample degradation of some kind?
Which hardly anyone seems to use, at least for YouTube. I watch too much YouTube for my own good, and I can't remember the last time someone encouraged viewers to donate money on a recurring basis via any company except Patreon.
Because communication is inefficient.

If you have to produce a well-reasoned argument, and successfully convince all peers that your argument is in fact well-reasoned, and comprehensive, and handles all concerns of all involved or potentially involved, and that all opposing arguments do not meet these criteria… it will take ages to get all stakeholders in agreement, and even when you do, you get a horse designed by committee (a camel).

Projects with no owner consistently end up in the same rut — always planning but never doing. Bikeshedding.

So you need the owner. But for someone to own the project/task, he needs to be in charge of it — he needs power. For what is power if not the ability to make a decision and have others follow through on it?

In arenas without defined power relationships, but manage to produce useful work, it’s usually the case that the power relationships still exist; they’ve just been made implicit. You see this in geopolitics, in your high school group projects, in Valve, etc. Determined not by corporate hierarchy, but instead charisma, money, social networks, physical/military strength, etc. Most of which is reflected by the corporate hierarchy anyways.

Businesses just make it explicit, and consider it valuable enough to attach higher pay. You might make the argument that managers don’t deserve higher pay than an individual contributor, but it’s clear enough that a manager has much higher potential impact than an IC — if you manage 100 resources, making them 10% more efficient than otherwise, you’re doing the effective work of 10 ICs. But in my head, a resource-managers role is primarily to make his team more efficient — by optimizing processes, clearing blockers, umbrella’ing against shit from on high, reporting upwards, to guide the overall direction of all involved — not to dictate the every individual activities of his underlings.

Also the Linux Kernel clearly has a power hierarchy, and while that power hierarchy doesn’t dictate what you work on, it does dictate whether your work can hold any value (by getting included into mainline). The difference just ends up being in the fact that it really doesn’t cost anyone anything for you to continuously do work that’s ultimately rejected every time, whereas for a business it obviously does (in the format of your salary). Obviously you can fork if you want and make it perhaps valuable… but you can exit the hierarchy just as well in business by quitting.
Totalitarianism is always a solution, it’s just also always the wrong solution.
Wow this is really bad!

This was my first topic here in hacker news.

I wasn't expecting all this traffic. Good to see and find more people interested in this kind of project.

I will be more careful in the future.
Bars tend to be dimly lit. This makes detecting counterfeits extremely difficult.

Many retail locations in the US hire young people to be cashiers. These people do not have the experience handling cash that older people have. They get almost zero training on what banknotes are supposed to look like. Despite it being illegal in most states to do so, when those cashiers accept a counterfeit bill, the store managers try to take the money out of the pay of those cashiers.

My dad had macular degeneration. Towards the end of his life, he had to depend on the large numbers on banknotes. By the time he died, he could no longer read them and had to use credit cards exclusively.
Never thought I’d see the day, but I actually use Yandex for image search now because they basically deliver the google image search experience of a decade ago. While Google Images has had no one with Vision in charge and been tweaked, buffed and downgraded to the point of uselessness. And you can tell no one on the team actually uses it.

Google Search could honestly be dethroned if someone really wanted to. The usage at this point is habit, not because it’s still a good search engine.
That’s not true. Even an imperfectly worn N95 is more effective than a cloth mask or nothing at all. The n95 mask is high intuitive unless you have a large beard (ie. you just have to ensure it fits your nose bridge area and chin area properly). I would wager that it still has better efficacy than an mRNA vaccine even when improperly worn

Thank you for helping making my point
Excellent! Cant wait to see what the performance is on M1 Max.

Just purchased and they sent me two keys... opened a ticket to let them know.
The terminals originally used on these IBM mainframes were interesting too. Their hardware protocol let you define an entire screen with multiple input fields and would handle accepting all the input in those regions, buffering it all until you submitted the screen. It's very different from the line-oriented and character-oriented terminals we're used to in the UNIX/DOS world.

It's simple, more people were on FB than were ever on Myspace.
You made a generic claim that different cultures bring different ideas and skills. I have a hard time understanding what that means in practice at the workplace. That's why I'm asking for an example.

I still don't see how it would work in practice, and you fail to give an example.

I micro clot. From before Covid. Factor 5. Will have stroke symptoms in 2 days of missing a blood thinner dose.

When I got Covid. I had to double blood thinner dosage for six month to not have symptoms.

Amazing how similar long Covid and my micro clotting from Factor 5 are.

I disagree. I find that it is delightful to develop for, especially for 2d games. Miziziziz made a full-3d game in Godot, and did a good job with it. There were a few glitches he caught post-release, but those were not because of the engine.

I mean machine learning can only make simple inferences, amplifying our biases as a side effect, but the good news is that it can only make simple inferences, so for a long while it will be people pulling the actual trigger, not a conniving AI itself trying to turn us against each other. Machine learning can be weaponized in many ways from semi-autonomous drones to creating more efficient propaganda more efficiently, but it's our biases, our cognitive constraints are what's killing us. Our world is built on finite material resources fueling limited mental ones, it's only natural that eventually it all returns to nothing, tumbling down, tumbling down.

A conniving AI would be funny in today's computing environment where programs usually run as interruptible operating system processes. If a SIGKILL doesn't do it there is always holding the power button for 3 seconds, or an axe.
Some of this digging might not be to discredit Mudge, but to estimate how well his claims will hold up in the crossfire. That would be useful information to some hedgie looking to make a big play on twitter stock (or tesla stock, indirectly).
During the early access / beta period one of the keys might be for X-Plane 11. I think that's the deal.
That would be confusing yes. But you can't remove the victim's DNA from the offender's, without making it less likely to find a match. That question has an actual answer: you can't. It's literally a boolean thing: you have victim AND offender, if you XOR victim out, you lose some offender.

Legislation appears to be doing the right thing here, my question is whether the police did their duty or not. Someone signed a consent form to put them in a database that tagged them as a match. That's not a police discretion thing, it's not clear to me that damages are appropriate.

Fortunately I'm not a judge, just some guy on the internet.
Eh, is it really "dodging that"? If an alien landed on our planet, took over our resources, filled our air with mutating pollution, and shot at us anytime we tried to take them back, we wouldn't give them a pass just because they were trying to leave :D

I always kind of embraced the idea of being the bad guy in this game. I find the ease with which I (and others) just kind of shrug it off intersting.

A more stark example would be the movie Starship Troopers: superficially, you might feel like the "bugs" are the bad guys, but take a step back and you realize that the humans are the ones attacking them.

That's neat!
I'd say Spring is kinda bad, but maybe not so much. But the JPQL and Hibernate parts are very bad and should be avoided for any serious work. Hibernate was made for a time with longer lived server-side objects, not today's workloads.
Then media outlets start picking up on it and include it in their reporting, then reporting on reporting happens and so on, then someone adds it to wikipedia with the news source, and then that gets uaed as a reference without saying so.

Then those new artikles get added to the wiki and it becomes an established fact.
I fly gliders and helis (for which, btw, x-plane is excellent), and none of the sticks I’ve tried feel right for these, neither of which have center return springiness. I’ve tried to clip the springs off of various sticks but just ended up breaking them. Any advice for a stick that doesn’t have center return dynamics?
Didn't they just fired their whole security team a few weeks ago?
My FB feed absolutely sucks. All I get anymore are Disney memes and low effort socialist propaganda - content I have no interest in no matter how much I try to hide it.

I used to keep a fairly curated feed of news and groups and businesses I followed, for some reason FB has decided to throw out all of that out to feed me this garbage.

Sorry, but those two stories sound like dream outcomes. A more typical outcome is a service that is never quite right, needs bug fixes every release, requires a code change for every minor change in the system around it, and basically serves as a jobs program for engineers. Somebody nails a service so well that it does its job quietly for years with no further work? I don't care your code is written in Aramaic and causes other programmers' heads to bubble and explode, please stay on my team and give me another service just like it.
Interesting, I run lxd from snaps but not noticing issues, can you provide some examples, I may check myself on that?
I did this in an infosec class in undergrad 15 years ago, inspired by exactly this essay. The first part of the project was to write a program that password protected a file, and the second part was to try and break each other's programs, with full source code access. I think it helped discourage people from trying to deal with mine as opposed to other people's. (Also, several people correctly guessed that it was mine despite the code being nominally anonymous...)

Klomgan? This argument is a straw man because those names are all ridiculous and defeat the purpose of the naming strategy. If a real organization adopted the naming strategy described by this article, reason would quickly become a part of it, and all those names would therefore be disqualified. Nobody knows what a Klomgan is and it's a made-up word that's difficult to pronounce. Why would anyone suggest it? How about marshmallow, lemonade, candlestick, or zephyr? Those are some simple dictionary names that are easy to say and aren't overly distracting or offensive.

Maybe "whimsical" isn't an accurate moniker. Generic or Common is how I would label the naming strategy described by this article. "Whimsical" is just asking for trouble and opens you up to overtly stupid names like "Chumbawumba."
For sure, to this day I’m mesmerized by a few Tsui Hark movies from that era, even though I saw them 15+ years ago. Pure art of fluid movement, for lack of a better expression.
Sure, but they aren't just statements. Sooner or later, in the face of mounting evidence, you have to put aside your cynicism and admit that sometimes people do things that they say they will do.

If our profit-uber-alles capitalist model has nothing to restrain it... it raises the question - is the growth benign or malignant?
I used to ask the clerks at the bank for $2 notes. Then I would go spend them at stores. I found it to be lots of fun. Some cashiers didn't know where to put them. Some turned around and gave them as change to the next person (this happens a lot at Ren Fests and usually makes the "next person" real excited). One caused lots of laughter in the store when they asked over the intercom "do we take $2 bills?". The most annoying was at a toll booth where the attendant handed it back and said "we don't take Canadian money" (I also had this with $1 coins).

In this scenario, with Unity now being the owners of the author company, couldn't they change the license to another, or straight up make it closed source?

I know the license says you have to be MIT - in perpetuity. That being said the author is the author and can do whatever, right? Especially if we're talking about Riccitello here, he has a past to consider.

But rather than rationing (via price or via other means), the government has thrown £150b+ at the gas miners, trying to get a quart out of a pint pot.
Doesn't help that their recommendations are always "Oh, you bought an air conditioner? Come look at this wide variety of other air conditioners we have!" rather than, say, adapters for connecting air conditioners to different window types or home electricity usage monitoring or something.
“Facebook is dying, TikTok will take over”

“Why is Facebook trying to be like TikTok?”
I think there is a healthy way and an unhealthy way to go about it. Suppressing the urge to compare ourselves to others seems like it would be counterproductive and energy intensive. Some people take it a step further though and use others as a hard reference point for themselves. The issue I see with this is that we pretty much never know what is going on with someone else past a surface level, and this behavior can mute our individualistic strengths as well.

This isn't to say that having a reference point is not a good thing to have, role models can be a great thing. It is not difficult to imagine the best and worst version of yourself, and just use that as a spectrum for moving through life, imo.

US-style absolutism about freedom of speech comes from hard earned lessons about the other options being much worse.

It seems that much of the world has forgotten or willfully ignore these lessons.

The cost of freedom is that people will use it to do things you don't like.

Freedom isn't necessary for a society to function, lots of societies function without it, and have for most of human history.

Given the choice though, I prefer to live in a society that chooses to maximize liberty. Without freedom of speech, all other liberties are irrelevant.

There's a reason why it's the first amendment.
Qualify the duplicate name with why you have a duplicate.

Already have Service and need Service? How bout NewService and Service instead. Or ${NEW_TRAIT}Service and Service. (can replace Service with any domain)

You could also just not duplicate and keep a single Service. Like other mentioned this is likely a design problem at any point names clash.
I first learned basic algebra from a cyoa-style book. It would introduce a concept, then give a sample problem, and depending upon what you thought the answer was, either advance, direct to content clarifying common misconceptions, or just restart.

No. SFPD only stopped the practice (of reporting rape kit matches) after SF DA refused to prosecute this one particular case and it came to light that SFPD was actually doing this. Considering SFPD routinely checked DNA against rape kits for over 7 years, it's possible this was used in other cases.

"Boudin read the police department’s lab report, which said that “during a routine search of the SFPD Crime Lab Forensic Biology Unit Internal Quality Database, a match was detected and verified. Direct comparisons with the samples listed below were performed,” listing the 2016 rape kit sample.

The language suggested that the practice was routine and not an isolated incident, Boudin said, and the head of the crime lab confirmed to his office that such searches are done regularly." [1]

"The scope of how many victims or volunteers may have had their DNA queried by the department's crime lab and matched to unknown suspect DNA to solve a criminal case over the last seven years is unknown." ... "other California DAs told [Boudin] that their crime labs have also admitted to maintaining a database that includes DNA profiles from sexual assault survivors." [2]

So I don't think it's fair to claim "SFPD stopped the practice pretty much immediately" and "Everyone seems to have acknowledged that this was wrong" when clearly the SFPD and possibly other PDs have been doing this for years.
