The F15 has more than double the combat range of the F35. They are pulling the F15 out of Okinawa, and there is no way the F35 can replace it. It lack the range, among other things.

The F15 can carry way more ordinance than the F35.

The F35 was claimed to be able to do what the F15 does and it is not even close in many areas. Sure, the F35 can do more in some cases, but it cannot replace what the F15 does.

The A10 is similar. They claimed the F35 could perform that role, and there's no way anyone in their right mind would put an F35 in as close air support for troops on the ground. The A10 can also carry a wider array of ordnance, and a lot more ordance than the F35.

Both the F15 and A10 cost a lot less per hour to operate, and have much higher availability than the F35.

Do we need the F35? Probably. But it is not a replacement for other aircraft that are much more suitable in more situations.

What we really need are a large number of light fighter/attack aircrat like the S Korean FA50, with a smaller number of F15/F16/F18 type aircraft, and then a very few F22/F35s.

So many of these scams have made their way into legitimate systems, like a disease.

I read one of these a few days ago and found it profoundly unsettling. It wasn't just the content, but the way the story was put together. It seemed... off, in a way that I couldn't quite put my finger on.

I don't know if it's just me, but I find these stories really creepy. There's something about the way they're put together that feels really unnatural, like something is not quite right. It's almost like they were written by a machine, which I guess they were. Anyway, they give me the willies.

Yes, I think the article presents a false dichotomy:

I am going to disagree,

You are looking at those pie charts graphs by sector/application and indeed it looks fragmented.

However once you look at each sector the biggest contributors can be lumped:

1. Energy generation from Coal/Gas

2. Road transport with ICEs.

However my gut feeling is that Oil&Gas refinery and extraction are grossly under reporting Methane emissions. So it could be that the chart doesn't show the full picture of GHG.

This sounds very much like the Tannenbaum ( sp? ) vs Torvalds argument all over again.

GNU scoffed at Linux as you do SerenityOS but where is HURD? Even BSD was better than Linux technically. So, why did Linux win?

Obviously I have no desire to argue you out of your opinion. For somebody that is claiming the technical high ground however, I find it notable that you went straight for the emotional angle.

You and I clearly disagree about what drives progress in the world. I think Linux changed the world because it ignored the argument that it was pointless and offered nothing new. The joke is that Linus did not expect to build “anything big and professional”.

There is nothing else like SerenityOS. If it succeeds, it will be a new status quo. There is no guarantee at all that it will be successful but an engaged and growing community may be the most important element. How many active contributors does HelenOS have. Where will it be in 4 years?

The one “engineering” argument I will make though is that the mono repo idea is not driven by NIH in the way that you imply. Your core point is that SerenityOS is too derivative and steals too shamelessly from everybody else. The project founder has stated multiple times that the motivation for a mono repo is the reduced complicity, greater agility, and velocity that it brings. The Linux ecosystem is characterized by massive complexity and massive dependency. Innovating in Linux is more politics than technology a lot of the time. Think Wayland, Systemd, GUI toolkits, or many other areas where progress has been slow and fractured for years. SerenityOS can change whatever it wants in the core ecosystem. Of course, not everything is in the core ecosystem. The project has a large and growing ports collection that they celebrate. They just do not want to depend on it. That idea is quite novel if you ask me. Given the progress in the last 4 years, they may be on to something.

Oh, and I cannot resist one emotionally technical argument. Carbon is going nowhere. Time will tell but I am happy to have that on my score card.
While I appreciate the sentiment, some of this hyperbole is a bit much. This _could_ be a beautiful design with some simple padding and margin updates, but as it is, horizontal text that literally stretches 24 inches across my 1440p monitor is not what I'd consider effective, practical, or beautiful.

> nothing but praise from the same crowd

It’s always the same. Go into the newspaper archives and you’ll see article after article how bad the F-16 and F-15 are, way too expensive, perform badly, too complicated, too much electronics. Same for the F-22.
Profitable to Posterity
For me the F-35 story is similar to the Bradley fighting vehicle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradley_Fighting_Vehicle). The same initial corruption during design and developments, the same problems at beginning of deployment, which even culminated with Hollywood to mock Pentagon in the movie "The Pentagon Wars" (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0144550/). Only to end-up with a work horse that was very much appreciated during Iraq and Afghanistan campaigns.

F-35 it seems that is at that point in its story where the bad is behind and the value it brings to the table just started to unfold. As a member of a NATO country, that is in close proximity of Russia, I'd rather have some of them F-35 stationed in my US military bases that we house on our territory.

Noted and I’ll keep that in mind.

I wasn’t trying to insult the user so much as point out that their argument is emotionally clouded due to their relationship to the subject and their wealth gain. But I’ll try and do better at not using language that is accusatory.

Regarding the GPS thread, I was responding to their dismissal of someone else explaining the problem. While I agree I could have responded more thoughtfully, the subject had already been covered elsewhere. However I agree that the reply could have been better and I’ll try and do so in the future.

Thank you for the suggestions.
I read that institutional investors are “afraid of crypto” and this will be bad in the long run.

Bad in the long run for who? What did these VCs invest in? A huge pile of scam alt coins / alt chains, centralized exchanges, stuff no one wants.

Bitcoin is digital gold. It’s boring and has operated mostly the same since the beginning. We don’t need FTX and I hope the tourists don’t come back.
Digital and real world hobbies are not mutually exclusive. If you have an outdoor hobby, you've probably noticed it being busier than ever over the last few years. Hiking trails, beaches, surf breaks, running paths, etc have all been the busier than they ever were before COVID. People may be spending more time than ever online, but people are also spending lots of time in nature.
This seems like the kind of argument one invents when one has an axe to grind. Everyone agrees CSE on social networks needs to be moderated, there isn't a lot of controversy around it. I'm sure you didn't spend 50% of your time being angry about CSE moderation on Instagram last week, that doesn't mean all your other opinions are invalid.
Main stream adoption will only happen if those that want it can have the security blanket of fraud coverage to cuddle in. The answer here is still a non-regulatory, market solution: Crypto Insurance. Non-transparent, un-auditable coins and exchanges simply won't be able to be insured. People can decide if they want to speculate using uninsured currencies and exchanges. My prediction is that non-transparent, sketchy schemes will wither. Of course, the insurers themselves need to be sound -- but Lloyd's seems to have solved that problem about as well as it can be back in the days of wooden ships. This is not a new concept.
"Criticism from within the ranks of the Tory government is significant and a sign of shifting tides"

Well, the Conservatives officially campaigned to remain and Boris had to kick out dozens of MPs at the last election to even be able to implement the vote at all. Whether someone is a truly reformed Remainer or not has been a question at every leadership contest since. So there's nothing significant or new about Tories disagreeing with Brexit, it's a pretty standard position within the party.

"We are a country in decline. I'm now pretty certain of it."

I am too! We don't actually disagree on that. The GDP/capita trends are pretty clear there, especially when compared to the USA. It's not relevant to food price inflation which has different causes, however.

The difference between us is I think the issues long pre-date 2016, are mostly to do with entrenched social attitudes, were made worse/locked in place by EU membership and therefore that Brexit is a necessary (but not sufficient) condition for reversing the decline. Whereas you see a decline as a recent thing and Brexit/the ruling party as the cause.

> The alternative is to make sure that you provide a mechanism to bring the best and brightest to your country instead of coddling the least productive at home.

Importing other countries’ elites seems like a bad thing for the proles both at home, and the country losing their best and brightest.

Seems like a better alternative would be to do the exact opposite: force elites to stay in their home country and make it better.
The explicability of our decision making is like 95% of our progress. It is why we can identify biases evolution builds into us but we need to fight against. Or try and justify something beyond mere intuition. This is like asking how much math are humans using anyway.
If you aren't familiar, check out Winning Run [1]. A 3D arcade racing game from 1988, about the best possible with custom hardware at the time. Graphics quality is primitive by modern standards. But make sure to watch the video in 60 fps. If there's any hiccups, it's your device playing the video. Smooth and continuous 60 frames per second rendering, with some tens of millisecond delay to respond to game inputs. It's still very hard to pull that off today, yet it's fundamental to that type of game's overall quality.

They have been clear that they are not even writing anything new in Jakt because it is not ready yet. If you start seeing them wrote stuff in it, you will see them re-wrote stuff too.

Digitally and trustlessly transferring value without being at the whim of some big corporation that makes and changes the rules as they see fit.

> Is that like just letting every Bernie Madoff's scam run its course -- eventually retail investors and retirement funds will learn to stop investing in scams?

Madoff was a scammer operating in a well regulated traditional financial space, where legitimate investment funds exist.

The authors here propose segregating crypto from traditional finance by forbidding fiat fiduciaries to invest in crypto at all. Basically, recognize that most of the crypto is zero sum speculative game that has no legitimate investments, just like banks today are forbidden from purchasing lottery tickets with their depositors' money.
If the driver process crashes then presumably other processes have to be able to re-establish a connection and resync state.

I think the question is how many programs don't depend on the filesystem. Given that they're loaded from it, you'd presumably need to give up mmap and pre-fault all the code for even very simple programs to survive a loss of connection to the fs driver. It seems like an extreme edge case.
I'd say either VLC or Musicolet let you do that as well.

Hey, some quick feedback from trying the demo. It feels like you're trying to generate sales leads for the cloud service by making me create an account just to try it. I'm not super familiar with the competition, so maybe your market is focused on people looking for alternatives, but having to register for an account just to see the demo was more than I was willing to go through. The kicker for me was when the opt-in to getting email updates was checked while creating a demo account.

Also, you may want to increase the verification code timeout value - 60s is too short for emails to get through.
> replace cow with slave

People did once say such things, but they were wrong: dehumanizing humans is a mistake. But anthropomorphosizing animals is also a mistake! That people were wrong to once say humans were subhuman has nothing to do with the sense of applying the sentiment to cows. Of course they're subhuman. They're cows!

The movie you recommend sounds like a documentary about the ways people are horrible to animals. I agree people are horrible to animals sometimes, and would cheerfully make common cause with you about stopping that. At the same time, this thread began with a discussion of slaughterhouses designed along Temple Grandon's principles - and I don't think there's anything wrong with those at all. Which is to say, it's done wrong sometimes; it's also done right.

We have animal cruelty laws; sometimes they're insufficient or broken, I'm sure. That's awful. But to turn around and say we should therefore nuke the industry and never personally eat meat strikes me as a bit of a neurotic, narcissistic response. Like I said - I know where my cows are raised, and I know where they die, too, and I think it's fine. And while I know there are abuses, I also think the industry as a whole does a lot of good, and am in no way prepared to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
ok, prove it's a lame cop out.
Me too, but I think that it an important realization to internalize. My list would take many lifetimes to complete. This is an important part of being a self-aware person or some people call it "adulting". For me at least, it is easy to get scared and run away from it. The more productive solution is to:

Realize these are things that you get to try, not have to do

Prioritize a few items, ideally some short term and some long term.

Set aside the master list and work on your immediate tasks until they are complete you realize you dont want to complete them.

occasionally revisit the master list and update it.

The case is every US partner who purchase F35s is now dependant on US and more aligned with US interests. That remains true even if magic anti-air missile tech makes F35s vunerable in the coming years because broad adoption of F35s also killed gen5+ competitors who couldn't sell at scale. We see Korea, Japan + EU countries trying to restart their own fighter programs now because dependency on US especially with FX can become onerous and they all want their own share of future export pie now that RU arms exports is dimished.

> If you have ever gone up against HR over anything ever, a union would have benefited you.

My wife (who is one of the best teachers in California, documented) was fired exactly because of the union rules. The principal wanted to keep her so much, that the district turned his desire into a political tool: oh you want to keep L? she is a good teacher? sign this paper (some financial cover up) and we will give you the money to keep L. The union did not care is she a good teacher, or not. Less seniority? Go away (but we keep your $1000 union fees).
