The Seattle Times adds a detail that isn't in other articles: the off duty pilot had successfully shut off fuel flow using the same handles:

----

To activate they must reach up and pull the handle down and turn it to lock it in place. Pulling the handle cuts electrical and hydraulic power to the engine and closes the fuel line.

Turning the handle then releases a pressurized bottle of fire-suppressing halon gas.

Alaska Air spokesperson Alexa Rudin said via email that “fortunately some residual fuel remains in the line, and the quick reaction of our crew to reset the handles restored fuel flow and prevented fuel starvation.”

`npx <package>` does run project installed binaries, if they exist (node_modules/.bin/<package>). In that scenario it's equivalent to `yarn <package>`. Otherwise yes it falls back to a global package, and a prompt to install if missing.

'Peak Windows' was Win 7. It's been downhill all the way since then. On my rare forays into Windows, it's using Win 7 as a guest VM on a Linux host.
I will note that Powershell has typed inputs and outputs and that can be very powerful. Now if it weren't so verbose...
I’m starting to understand just how broken the hiring process in tech has become.
Nobody in the Windows/Mac world writing software should have to care about the change, or even know about it. That's the beauty of an OS scheduler, it is optimized to execute your instructions where it sees fit, and higher level programs don't need to know how it works, where it executes your instructions, or that it even exists. Sometimes abstraction and separation of concerns can be beautiful thing. I'd argue that most programs shouldn't make any decisions about where to run, I know I don't want random engineers for some mac app controlling my power consumption or setting priority above anything else I run. The kernel developers with the data stream of health and performance info from the intimately connected hardware (on apple) is who I want to make the call on where to run. In the very few situations where E or P core assignment matters (games and VMs are all that I can think of and even that is arguable imo), there has been the ability to inform the OS scheduler where to run for a very long time.

Tangent: With today's insanely powerful hardware you should not ever be constrained in your programs to ever have to consider setting core affinity and if you go down that road you might want to reevaluate what you're doing, because you're probably doing something wrong and blaming it on the OS scheduler. Even constrained to the E cores (which are still plenty fast), your programs should perform well. I think more developers need to start writing software on slow machines on purpose because too many apps are written on machines that cost $4000+ with the newest chip and gpu innovations and then are never tested on slower more commonly used hardware, and things end up being dog slow on those machines and get no attention. If more apps were built on slow hardware and were still fast, they'd be even more so on the $4k machines. The macbook air was great for this because it was fanless and every core was essentially an "E" core, forcing you to optimize the code you wrote for the selfish reason of it not being annoying to run the code you were writing. Even if selfish, the net result was production code that was blazing fast once deployed on server grade hardware.
The price of a subsidised loan has increased as the subsidy has fallen while the face value of the asset the loan's for purchase of, an asset that's blown up on financing that's been almost free (as in interest, the return on capital) for a decade+ baked with a myriad of sticky price perceptions not least vested middle class (voting class) interest to maintain its inflated discounted present value, hasn't changed much.
That's terminally fucked. Severely fucked would (imho) be a complete breakdown of order and anything larger than local infrastructure.
How can they really stop this development?

I mean, if I were the author, had put my effort and time into solving my own itch and released it as FOSS, only to receive a Cease and Desist, my itch would still probably be there, but GitHub would probably comply and close the repo.

So I'd just cease, desist, and my project would suddenly appear again in some other Git server. Surely, without my name on it, and hosted from whatever country seeming less likely to follow up on similar requests.
> should maximize meetups? How does one filter meetups?

Yes. And don't. Also, aggressively reach out to arrange bilateral meetings and ask friends for introductions. When you're at a bar, engage with those around you. (Genuinely, I might add. There are a lot of smart, interesting people in San Francisco. Also douchebags. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
Really sorry to hear about Ian.

Sandstorm is an excellent project. I sort of consider it the platonic ideal of self-hosting software. It does everything the "right" way, especially with respect to security, but ultimately isn't compatible enough with the broader ecosystem for general adoption.

I've been wondering if a lot of self-hosting platforms are targeting the wrong level of scale. On one extreme you have single user instances (SUI hosting). The other extreme is centralized platforms like Google. I used to think the ideal for most people is the "nerdy cousin" approach, where each family has someone capable of running something like Sandstorm or Nextcloud. The problem is that I would much rather trust Google with my private data than anyone close to me. There's so much more incentive for them to go looking through my stuff. This makes me think SUI might be the way to go. Or maybe large federated providers, similar to what we have for email.
I stopped reading reddit over two years ago noticing how over politicised it was becoming. Slowly choking the life out of any decent conversation.
I suspect this decision would have been almost a no-brainer for Mazda execs in Japan.

Japanese culture tends to white-list permitted activities.

The API was designed for a purpose other than what this developer used it for. Therefore his code is proscribed.

> YouTube's profitability?

I tried looking for this but failed to find anything. I also thought about how these multi-billion dollar companies hide profits behind tax codes so that - many times - they pay little or no taxes. This, more than anything else, makes the search for real profits very difficult.

Netflix made ~$31.6 billion in revenue worldwide and they are profitable - as well as undisputed leaders in the Premium Video Category.

Google is so quick to kill projects that, I think, if YT wasn't (happily) successful it would have made changes long ago.

Agree both background checks and skill tests can work very well in an ideal form, but it's expensive (in time, mostly). As practised, they are very much a mixed bag. The latter is a problem past early career stuff anyway, as you aren't going to learn much in a couple hours.
Actually, I did. My daughter loves marcel the shell, I was writing a shell, so it's an obvious choice. It is far enough afield that I can't believe they would care. But I reached out to them, and explained what I was going. They were amused, said they might want to object later, but they never have.
While Librettos ran on 95, I got a couple to play around with. There's that coolness to it, the design/tiny body but then you realize it's not useful now... too small to type on, can barely run anything other than what it has already. Make sense but yeah.

Second time today I've found this other Onion headline relevant:

> ‘The Onion’ Stands With Israel Because It Seems Like You Get In Less Trouble For That

https://www.theonion.com/the-onion-stands-with-israel-becaus...
Are modern children born too late?
All the adults in our lives think we are dull people, so I don't deny that perception.
The really great thing about Windows CE was that it was largely "just" Windows. Most of the API bits one would care about were all there. The development tools were all the same tools we were already using to write desktop software. And unlike modern mobile OSes that look at you sideways for even running your own code on your own device, there weren't any hoops to jump through to deploy your apps to anyone.

It made for a nearly zero learning curve in terms of transitioning from desktop to mobile. I had written several programs in C# that leveraged code I had collected I've years of web and desktop development.

Nowadays, the closest thing is web apps. In some ways it's better because the devices are so much more capable than they were back then. In others, it's worse because you're not really writing to one platform, you're writing to at least 6 (Chrome/Firefox/Safari cross Desktop/Mobile).

Exactly what I thought - that and Teenage Engineering’s POM-400
I used this approach at a company of about 750 folks, bending HR to bypass some of their stuff. E.g., they insisted on collecting resumes, but I generally discarded them. Instead, I did a one-on-one phone call for the purpose of them to ask me questions--not to grill them, and to ask them if they would like go to the next step and do a work sample test.

I tailored the work sample test to the role. I did it for the compliance hires and for the project manager. The results were unexpectedly excellent.

As a result of this process, and having a solid company culture, there are around ten or twelve folks that have a new career in the security field that would likely not have had another opportunity in the classical hiring scheme.

I think the state of the industry with respect to hiring and evaluating folks is broken across the whole spectrum. It is like once someone becomes established in a field, they invent all manner of gatekeeping tests that they didn't pass to get where they are. The whole story of sabermetrics is another example.
The effect you describe could be sufficiently studied by comparing married partners to unmarried long term partners.

Also, cheap electronics kits can be a great way to get your sea legs, especially if you take the time to work out why the circuits are designed as they are.
To add to the other comments:

Free exploration, community and YouTube.

The way developers iterate on gaming concepts and allow players to be part of the evolution seems to be appealing.

Tower Defence games are one example, where there are many implementations.

The games evolve and change, sometimes rapidly, and the players and community come along for the ride. Then another new Tower Defence game comes along, a YouTuber showcases it, and they all go try out that one. Then the old game gets a big update, and they go back and try the old one again.

The games are often very similar to each other, or knock-offs of commercial games. They often use irreverent meme culture visuals and sound effects, which makes the games seem fun and disposable. None of it is taken very seriously, on the surface at least.

The key here is the community - all these games and their friends are on Roblox. They don't lose their friends if they switch games, and games are free to play, so their friends can easily join them without having to ask their Parents to buy the game for them!

When you look back at the early Roblox games, it's remarkable how primitive they are. However when you view todays games, it's equally remarkable for sophisticated and impressive the graphics are!

This comes immediately after 1P's forced transition away from local app with local storage to Web app with cloud storage, and assurances that their security stance and practices would make a breach unlikely. If they had stuck with the old model, a breach would have no chance of impacting users, but now, we're left scratching our heads and speculating about the true extent of the damage.

I think the problem with a privacy quiz is that as soon you answer that you own a cell phone your privacy is forfeit. We can't function into today's society without screwing ourselves over. Telling people that they can be "off the grid" while owning a android device is a massive lie, and telling people that their participation in society has made them extremely vulnerable may be accurate, but it's also going cause people to feel defeated. There's no winning.

It's best just to name and shame companies collecting far more data than they need (like cars with microphones that listen in on your conversations/lovemaking, or roku devices that upload multiple screenshots per second of whatever is being displayed), because that at least educates consumers of the risks. Consumers can't complain and demand changes if they don't even know about the abuses that are happening and nobody selling consumers these devices is going to say anything.
To be honest I was mostly trying to reassure the reactionary urbanite-hater that we aren't trying to take their stuff.
Yes tech companies get sued for discrimination in hiring on a routine basis. The issue with giving feedback is the you hand evidence to the opposing side in a future lawsuit. There's very little benefit for the company, and a lot of risk.

Microsoft settled three years ago on a race discrimination in hiring thing. And two years ago for discriminating against non-citizens (and in some twist, Facebook settled the same year for discriminating against citizens, so... damned either way).

Just this year Workday got sued for discrimination in hiring, which is mildly hilarious because they're the HR-as-a-service company.

> Or is it just the amorphous possibility of suits?

It's mostly this, driven by the lawyers. They've seen a few previous settlements and just decide "well, none of that here".

I don't know if you've ever done hiring at a big company, or sat through the legal training things, but even if you don't draw a lawyer who tells it to you straight, it's pretty easy to infer what's going on.
That's not a lot tbh. I'm usually at ~1500 tabs (13 windows across 3 win+tab desktops) per machine on both my desktop (64GB 5800x3d) and macbook (32GB M2 Pro).
Every person living deserves a living.

Monopoly is not the route we should be taking to achieve that. Copyright only manages to support a select few artists. It does so by making it more difficult to create art in the first place!

The overwhelming majority of copyright benefit (in dollars) goes to "others who are rich enough to exploit" the system itself, not to the artists who are in need of "a living". Those absurdly wealthy groups make it more difficult and more expensive for artists to compete with them. The tool they use for anti-competitive behavior is copyright. Copyright is only useful for anti-competitive behavior, because copyright is literally defined as monopoly.

---

If we did not have copyright, people would still be free to financially support artists. There would only be two major differences:

1. Artists would not be able to compel people to financially support them.

2. Giant corporations would not be able to compel artists to give them monopoly over their art. Artists would be entirely free to create new art, and to seek direct financial benefit from that art.

I argue that the second effect is by far the greater of the two, particularly in respect to artists who need a living wage.
How do folks test timing-related stuff with MSW? AFAIK, MSW doesn't get along with jest.useFakeTimers. It drives me nuts; I have a bunch of disabled tests in an open-source project and at least one that is flaky because it uses real timers where I'd like to be using fake timers. [1, 2]

I've been thinking about ripping out MSW from my tests in favor of my own API-level mock for this reason. But it seems like many other folks are happy with MSW. I have to assume there's something I'm not getting. I'm a fish out of water with frontend stuff in general...

> But yes, I think freeing up that enormous amount of budget for almost any other purpose would be an improvement.

Do you have good arguments for this? For example, if we dismantled the entire police force to reduce the government deficit, or to increase healthcare spending, or to reduce taxes, do you really think society would improve?

Your examples above didn't dismantle the police entirely and had a very small set of alternative spending. It isn't consistent with what you said in this post. You need to explain why you think that dismantling the entire police force would be a net positive, how do you think that society would work without a police force?

Love it. Not being British nor 70 years old, I have a hard time zeroing in on the true musical DNA of northern soul. That is, if you heard a previously unknown track, could you clock it like you could with house vs techno? Maybe it's slightly less "soulful?" That's all I've got, but it's great all the same.

My explicit interest in the genre was spurred by Soft Cell, but as I dug into compilations, I heard a good deal of stuff that was on American oldies format radio growing up. It's unsurprisingly not entirely a UK thing.

I'll part with another song that Soft Cell covered, on a B side somewhere:

I feel like you don't understand what Roblox is. It's not a game. It's a platform. Think of web browsers in 1996.

Most websites indeed looked very similar in 1996, but that was because of the currently accepted design aesthetics of the time, and had little to do with the browser itself.

A few lifetimes back, when I was in high school, I developed a text stegonography program that encoded this way. If relied entirely on minor changes to grammar that didn't make the text ungrammatical.

That code is long lost, and I was a kid, so never characterized it in any meaningful way. But it was interesting and seemed to work. The downside was that you had to have a fairly lengthy text to encode anything but very short messages.
