>but the government absolutely has ways to make Boeing of all people cooperate.

Boeing is not 'a person' and neither is the government. Boeing is a conglomerate of affiliated smaller organizations. So is the FBI and CIA. Understanding those dynamics is what makes this scenario so implausible.

- Boeing commercial programs are separately funded from military. The executives and engineers in charge generally have no interest in committing fraud for other programs.

- Boeing has shareholders and a board of directors. There are no laws in the US that allow executives and staff to defraud shareholders and the board on behalf of the government. Employees/executives would be subject to criminal and civil liability.

- At the individual level, many of these people have security clearances. Fraud/lying on official documents is the easiest way to lose your clearance. There are no provisions for "It's OK to lie for the good guys". If you lie in an official proceeding, you are going to lose your clearance.

- FBI is composed of numerous divisions, with competing interests and turf to defend.

At the end of the day, someone at Boeing legal would have to sit down and look at this and say "Well, if the hundreds of people involved all agree to commit fraud and no one finds out, we're in the clear for some nebulous illegal kickback down the line line. Sign us up!"
Right. But, recommendations are not airworthiness directives.

> Here's the part of his conclusion relevant to this new development

This quote isn't even remotely relevant to the new developments and it's extremely obvious you didn't even take 30 seconds to skim the docket.

They've obtained significant new evidence through FOIA litigation that shows the Navy's Aegis missile system missed its intended target (a test drone) and hit TWA 800 instead. One of those pieces of evidence is a set of Navy radar tapes (previously confiscated by the FBI) that show an object heading towards TWA 800 and then spiraling away. They also have dozens of witnesses who saw the missile tests happening, including two Air National Guard pilots who were flying in a Blackhawk nearby when they saw the missile hit TWA 800 and then proceeded to the crash site to see if they could help rescue anyone.
Because pets have been engineered by us through artificial selection to have phenotypes that co-opt our adaptive tendency for compassion, in this case it's a tendency that was evolved to make sure we care for our own kids. It's analogous to when a parasite or virus or idea may co-opt certain adapted systems to survive and spread. Such viruses are usually bad for the host's fitness. The co-opted compassion we feel towards pets is possibly maladaptive because it may decrease the expected number of children, since pets can be substitutes.
What is less friction than an rsync command to deploy ?

I think something happened with a generation of programmers that completely missed the basics and went straight to abstractions.

They know react but not JavaScript, they know k8s but not linux… and they barely know how a computer works. They read a lot of stuff online in blogs but no books. They think moving fast is what some company marketing material says it is.

Look anything you build on top of the basics will be more complex than the basics. It’s worth it to abstract complexity when that arises, when you don’t have it, it’s not necessary and only causes you to move slowly.

Nothing will be faster to iterate than a file on disk if you’re working alone and want to validate an idea. You can literally rsync the folder you’re dev-ing from on a git tag and change a symlink in a single command. That will take you very far with no friction.

What I’ve seen failing is people who find the non existing problems they have more interesting than delivering value

>It's because of the fear that without alcohol, these youngsters aren't going to socialize

I wonder if people who think that have ever been to the Middle East. Arabs are some of the most sociable people out there, and generally don't drink due to Islam.
I just think it is funny.
Brazilian banks and parts of the government were pretty big mainframe clients. I’m most familiar with the IBM ones, but Unisys also had quite a footprint with their A series (which evolved into the Clearpath Libra family).
> Rust has a standard project layout, standard test runner, and a central code repository, which enables testing language releases against nearly all publicly available code (see "crater run").

I'm not sure why this is treated as a selling point. It helps projects up to a point, but the minute you want to do something that doesn't fit the mold, it makes things a lot harder. All of these products are orthogonal to a language, and yet they are very tightly bundled with the idea of using the Rust language. It certainly makes "business logic" systems and web backends easier to implement, but I'm not sure many people were building those in C++ to begin with (except in legacy systems, where you are stuck with what you have).

Also, I'm not sure how a language that is less than 10 years old (in its released, 1.x versions) has any claim to having no problems with evolution over the next 10 years.
Step 1: Break ties with Russia. Until then, everything is double-speak
Remember when everyone started getting mobile phones and then there was a lot of thinking/panic about brain cancer. Well maybe back then that was a panic and just silly hysteria.

Since then the type of radio tech in use everyday has expanded a lot especially the type spies would be around, such as jammers and any exotic stuff.

I'm not saying there's anything there, I'm just asking questions :D

I don't think we'll know much about the real cause of this for another 20-50 years.
WASM has in a way picked up and succeeded where Java applets left off.
> I'm sure "Mental Disorders" was probably not meant to denigrate the giant chunk of humanity that does suffer from such disorders

The suffering that they have is real, whether or not we debate the appropriateness or usefulness of the labels that have been placed on that suffering. Attempting to shame people for discussing those labels (even extremely negatively) as if the discussion itself damages the sufferers is darkly ironic, because the suppression of the discussion of that distress will result in a failure to improve the treatment of that distress.

edit: I do understand the sentiment, but it's one that has long been cultivated through patients' groups that are founded and funded by pharmaceutical and other medical companies, and push the treatments that their funders push. Their funders are generally deeply invested in the status quo and cast objections to current received wisdom as attacks on the sick, unless they're trying to push a new drug, which is when they push change.

A patients' group can atrophy into an organization with no members, a single funding source, and a lawyer who spends an hour writing a press release every few months, and hires someone to update the website once a year.
Just for some context:

The image is an old meme some are familiar with. It's straying from the usual techie type posts here on HN. Also it satisfied my intellectual curiosity since it's a Single Serving Site with a dedicated domain, and those are actually unusual and strange.
I feel terribly for these families, but the evidence presented in this filing is circumstantial at best: it adds nothing to contradict the overwhelming evidence (including the recovered fuselage) that nothing collided with the aircraft.

It’s easy to see ghosts everywhere, and sometimes they really are there. But TWA 800 probably isn’t one of those cases.

“max-width: 38rem
it appears that the default font size for most browsers is 16px, so 38rem is 608px. supporting 600px displays at a minimum seems reasonable.”

I’m not an expert in CSS, but I don’t think this makes sense. Why base the width on the default font size when you know you’re aiming for 600px? Just write 600px. Also that’s a max width, so what makes this support 600px screens at a minimum?
Do you have an explanation for this being a new issue?
Curious, why not just match people randomly to meet for lunch in a highly-focused, population-dense, area and partner with restaurants to market it?

Understand that’s completely different than cooking, but guess in part trying to understand what dynamics are locked-in and which ones you’re flexible on.

Lastly, given you mentioned CHF, assuming you’re in Switzerland or Liechtenstein, so might be worth explicitly stating your geographic assumptions too.
I saw some of this art in a thread on Twitter. It is fascinating.

From the article: “You don’t break into someone’s house to show them you can break into their house,” Mr. Venkatasubramanian said.

I agree with the statement in general, but it is wrongly directed. Breaking into someone's house is illegal. Finding a person in a public video is not. It might be creepy that it is possible to do this, but there are (thankfully) no laws against creepy possibilities.

Likewise, people do break into places "just to show them you can." I am an infosec advisor, and often do exactly this for a fee, as part of specified Social Engineering engagements.
A video would work too but I actually prefer taking high resolution stills vs android's smearing/stabilizing video features.
Also, nowhere in the article it says that Russian security forces ended up killing rioters.

If Google would stop the absurd block on text reflow and resize, on Chrome Android, we'd really be good.

Seeing how slick and smooth and beautiful and handy it is on Opera, puts any ridiculous dev team rejections to waste.

Text reflow missing from Chrome -- valid proof end user convenience is not a primary concern.

I bet text reflow moves ads into the wrong position, thus the decade long block.
I vastly prefer content be cloud based. Ever since Spotify came out, I've never downloaded music illegally again -- it's just so much better and more convenient. Can't imagine going back to what.cd days and having to download and maintain a music collection manually.

Yeah, it could. A 747 is designed to withstand all sorts of failures, but impact by a missile is not one of them.

Loss of structural integrity could easily cause violent breakup by aerodynamic forces. A 747 is not going to stay together if the pointy end isn't into the wind. Then there's all that fuel suddenly released and atomized, and fuel absolutely loves to burn. Remember that fireball when the airliners hit the twin towers?

Source for those statements? I've been following this since it appeared in the news cycles but I don't recall any evidence of physical damage.

dang, a question for you: I lost my vouch privileges because I did vouch dubious comments (we spoke about it and you graciously restored that functionality to my account), and I am now afraid that flagging stuff I don't like would incur a similar penalty.

Can you confirm that I can flag anything I do not wish to see, even if it's objectively not bad content? I am a little confused if flagging is just reserved for abuse and spam or not. Will I lose my flagging privileges if I keep flagging a certain topic I'd rather not see?
Ok, what does activism actually look like? All I hear are solutions that punish regular citizens (eat less meat, pay taxes, stop traveling, paper straws) instead of going after the rich and their mega corporations who are the biggest polluters.
For the record: I merely downdooted it.

I'm pretty pro-Ukraine, but Russophobia just hurts everyone. Personally, even if a Russian person doesn't care about Ukrainians, between the dangerously suppressive regime that person lives under and their probable position in Maslow's hierarchy of needs, I can find enough charity to relate to them and not see them as evil.
> Have you ever tried this? It's an absolutely brutal experience even for people with the necessary skills.

No; I don't have the necessary skills. I'm not funny enough, and I'm not quick-witted enough.

I used to heckle standups (and people who thought their poetry deserved a public performance). I mostly regret that behaviour now; I think I figured that a good standup should be able to use a heckler as a foil, a way to improve their show. Certainly the funniest standups can atomise a heckler instantly; heckling a good comic is very risky.

The very best standups can deal with a heckle without destroying the heckler - for example, by improvising a joke on top of the heckler's line.
I'm really not convinced, the linchpin of the missile argument is that the CIA and FBI were put in charge to cover up a missile shootdown, but it's pretty well documented that they were put in charge because it was a suspected terrorist attack. Everything else is circumstantial evidence at best. I'm certainly interested in what shakes out of this court case, but as of right now it just seems like a typical conspiracy theory to me.
Lots of people mentioning AppCode as a replacement, but damn JetBrains apps suck if you're used to macOS. Basic things like windows misbehaving, poor multi-monitor support (yes, really), and being unusably slow for almost every aspect of the user interface. I could go on, but if you hate Xcode I think you'll find AppCode to be just a different set of crap. If you like using a Mac you'll positively hate AppCode.

I personally have little problem with Xcode now. My recommendations would be: don't use the built-in source control integration, it mostly sucks. Get an M1/M2 Mac, the speed boost is great. Use a lighter weight editor (not IDE) for editing data files, large text files (>5k lines) and for anything that's not Swift/Obj-C/UI work. And lastly, stay up to date. Xcode has crashed much less for me on 12/13/14 than it did on ~9/10/11.
In a few months, I might be switching to a team with a C++ project. A lot of the team is new to C++, and there's nothing about the project that needs C++, Java would have been fine.

Well, I’m assuming the majority of people currently alive (and even more of those who have ever lived) are religious, and the majority of religions followed hold with the Heaven & Hell / Cycle of Reincarnation until Enlightenment model - and that experience in the afterlife was still recognisably ’human’.

Though, saying that, OP’s point about needing a human body to have human experiences may be correct if souls get a new human body in the afterlife - I’d just assumed liberated souls, like ghosts, had no physical form.
Pretty funny to look at this description on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TWA_Flight_800_conspiracy_theo...

> TWA Flight 800 conspiracy theories are discredited alternative explanations of the crash of Trans World Airlines Flight 800 (TWA 800) in 1996.[1] The NTSB found that the probable cause of the crash of TWA Flight 800 was an explosion of flammable fuel/air vapors in a fuel tank, most likely from a short circuit. Conspiracy theories claim that the crash was due to a U.S. Navy missile test gone awry, a terrorist missile strike, or an on-board bomb.

Now ask yourself, what else is the Government lying about? It will be interesting to see if the truth about 9/11 ever comes out.

C++17/20 is superior to Go, and widely used, for anything that looks like high-performance data infrastructure, which is a broad class of software. There are classes of common architectural optimizations that aren't feasible with a garbage collector because of how it interacts with scheduling and CPU caches. Even 1 millisecond for a GC pause -- often considered "low latency" -- is much too slow when standard operation rates are tens of millions per second.

Go is very good for many things but it does not offer competitive performance for these types of applications because design elements that have a large impact on throughput are poorly supported.
“Metric” sounds great on the surface, but there is a reason that 12-based numbers are often used, especially in the old days. They are very easy to split into halves, thirds, quarters, and sixths, without rounding.

You can't make a 'slim' model as easily with these minor efficiency improvements.
It will (maybe) matter in five years when standards have changed and that bare bones framework you grabbed isn't maintained.

IMHO it's a fairly big miss that default styling is bad, we're missing basic controls like drag & drop, and there's no native layouts like heros or hamburger menus and so on. A lot of cumulative effort has gone into reimplementing these things thousands of times.
The system actively punishes those that do work so yeah… 10x incentive problems

When providing such strong contrarian opinion, it is customary, or even expected to provide some sort of backing rationale ...
The "idiomatic" version is slowly getting slower because the idioms are getting higher-level and more expressive. If you don't use the idioms, you can have the same speed. Smart pointers (including unique_ptr<Foo>) have non-zero overhead compared to Foo*. The object oriented parts can introduce significant slowdowns. Template code can have huge code footprints if you are not careful, which slows things down.

If you are looking for cycle-level performance, you likely need to use a more C-like subset of the language, but you can still use many conveniences like RAII and the smart pointers with 0 overhead (when construct/destruct are not in the critical path).

It boggles my mind that people can only mention that this resource is illegal without pointing out it's the best library humanity has ever made.

It has been the goal of the Google cofounders, Carnegie, and great civilizations since antiquity to make something like this.

What airworthiness directive should they have issued? Mitigation systems for this issue are now required, but "shut down air travel until they're in place" would not have been feasible, especially as the issue wasn't limited to the one aircraft type.
US homes are measured at 240 volts. 100 amp would be on each of the 120v legs.

High power US home is 200 amp times 240 volts. More typical homes are 100 amp or 150 amp.

This is the same historical revisionist nonsense floated by Japanese right wing to claim that Japan was somehow "forced" to attack America and WW2 was a just war of defense.
But it does work for international transfers, if you also assume that the sender and receiver are spending the token for services, or if either party is not in a rush to exchange from or to fiat. An example would be a US citizen pulling crypto profits and sending remittances in tokens to their Latin American relatives, who wish to have some alternative liquid value not controlled by their banks or government in the case of financial collapse.

Crypto is probably not going to replace interbank USD-to-USD transfers but this is not something it needs to replace.

Usage is definitely increasing[1], but it won’t replace the extractive remittance industry overnight. The technology and UX still has a long way to go to be useful to non-nerds and the general public. Only this month did Ethereum even become a carbon neutral value transfer mechanism, which paves the way for future improvements.

And yes, if the majority of stakers commit to OFAC censorship, they can block your transaction to a sanctioned address. This is not great, and something the core devs will probably seek to circumvent in future, but it is not the same as a bank, payment processor or credit card company blocking your account on a whim.
