It's not a replacement for land-based connectivity. The available bandwidth will not permit the same density (by far) nor cell coverage indoors.

This is for the more rural areas, or downright remote ones.
"Remote working" is a little misleading here. The engineer was on call remotely because it was a public holiday; an engineer would usually be on-site during the workday. Per the report [0]:

> NERL’s protocol for the availability of engineering support is based primarily upon
the level of engineering work planned (particularly maintenance activities) and not
on the level of demand for air traffic service provision. The NERL rostering
arrangements for engineers provide for at least one Level 2 NERL engineer to be
available on site during a “normal” working day. On public holidays, when
maintenance is not routinely scheduled, it is common practice for staff to be
available on standby at remote locations – typically at home. On these occasions,
in the event of a system fault that requires Level 2 support, initial access would be
via a remote connection. However, major operations, such as the full system
restart required in this incident, cannot be performed remotely, and the engineer
must be on site.

There is, of course, an argument that critical systems such as this should have engineers onsite at all times, but I think there's a distinction between remote working and remote on-call

But in many areas your statement is true.
If every site used the same font, maybe. But different font faces vary in readability at the same size. Also, we still have to set sizes for things like titles, subtitles and other elements to create a hierarchy on the page.

'Don't resize my fonts' is such a narrow view of whole range of design considerations.

Well the consolidation to make things cheaper isn't working out so well at making things cheaper, is it?

You can't have both "everyone should want to live in the same place" and then also want "everyone should be able to afford to all stay in the same place".

Highly contented areas aren't going to get cheaper even if you double the accommodation. The expensive areas are expensive because people either want to live there or need to live there.

If you reduce the amount of people who need to live there, prices will reduce accordingly.
> Stoning black people was never a thing as far as I know. Do you have any pointers?

Lynchings of black people continued well into the 1900s. https://naacp.org/find-resources/history-explained/history-l...

And in particular during the civil rights movement, there was extraordinary violence against black people for daring to do nothing more than speak. Check out the library of congress: https://www.loc.gov/exhibits/civil-rights-act/civil-rights-e...

The State helped - the FBI tried to convince MLK to kill himself https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FBI%E2%80%93King_suicide_lette...

For about 5 minutes until McCarthy and friends started chucking people in prison. This is such common knowledge I'm honestly not sure what to link other than simply the wikipedia article on McCarthyism lol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCarthyism

While it's not stoning, I consider arbitrary imprisonment also an unacceptable form of State violence and suppression of ideas.

So until the State or something as powerful as it starts literally imprisoning conservatives, or angry mobs start lynching them, I don't really care about the whining about "cancelling" and "deplatforming."

Go to a protest, the cops still buddy up with the Proud Boys. They still beat us for kneeling. Conservatives and their ideology are perfectly safe.
What is the motivation behind changing font size between mobile and desktop? My understanding is that browsers and apps already show the same font size at roughly the same perceptual physical size based on DPI and likely viewing distance, using relative units (em/rem on web, points on iOS, dp/sp on Android).

I'm guessing it's one of these two things?

1. Designers now disagree with the result of that preexisting calculation.

2. Designers are OK with making fonts on mobile smaller than the ideal reading size so that they can fit more content on screen (doesn't seem like a very designer-y thing to do).

Edit:

Or, #3, this is an alternative to the trick I assumed was ubiquitous:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />

Which, I never understood why this is necessary in the first place (I'm not an experienced web dev). Based on the MDN docs (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Viewport_m...), we're setting the viewport's width to "100% of the viewport width", and initial-scale to "1", both of which sound obviously redundant, and yet if you omit this you get tiny fonts on mobile.

Edit 2:

Scratch theory #3. The author's site and all three of the sites he cites have that viewport line.
> hand wave away front-end state management as something that no longer applies

Does client-side state often need to exist independently of server-side state? I’m having trouble imagining a shopping cart or email draft being optimal UX-wise without the ability to resume on a different device.

For things like dropdowns and modals, you can bring in _hyperscript, Bootstrap, Alpine, or even CSS hacks (my preferred approach).

> the rich and bountiful lands of JSX and TypeScript

One person’s richness is another person’s needless complexity.

JSX is cool when you first try it, but the novelty wears off (at least for me it did). There are superior templating languages (Django, Jinja, EEx, erb) that don’t require bizarre syntax such as nested ternaries, and they make it feel like you’re just using a slightly-enhanced superset of HTML (not to mention being able to use them to render things other than HTML).

As for TypeScript, with the checks stripped out at runtime, you’ll still need to validate and test the assumptions your typed code is making. Frankly, TS seems like busywork to me.

Finally, Progressive Enhancement is a thing with htmx. You might be able to have it with React, but then you introduce even more complexity into the build system.
Audit, you say.

I once put an easter egg into some open source code used by many millions of people. Nobody found it until a colleague talked about it at a conference maybe a decade later.

People talk about audits, I at least don't think audits can be relied upon to find much. It's nice when audits happen, don't misunderstand, but I don't assume that opening the source of something means that any badness will be found. That assumption requires several leaps of faith.
I end up using it just because the team does. I much prefer curl for most things.
For me, I got much, much better SAT scores than my grades would suggest, because my grades were depressed significantly due to ADHD, (forgetfulness, never remembering when tests were going to happen, going off on tangents when studying) even though I actually knew the material. So the standardized tests were a chance to prove that I wasn’t a total dummy.

And you know, I think that’s kind of the point of a standardized test- grades definitely vary based on how involved your parents are, the particular teachers you have, whether you have adhd, and yes socioeconomic status- tests in principal are blind to all that stuff.
A UI is much more discoverable than CLI arguments.

Fascinating article. I wonder what made her do the steps in finding what's "different" with her, and most of all, why the need to fix it arose. Is it to "fit in", understandably? It somehow felt alien to me, and this shows my ignorance on the topic, that people lacking in empathy department would attempt to understand the reasons and act "good" towards others even if this feeling is only understood intellectually.
Sure, but names aren't what's important here. It's the logical conclusion to capitalism, even if it's more fitting to call it corporatism.

Either the government is big and the corporations lobbies and gets undue influence over how society and it's laws operates though the government, or the government is small and the corporations get undue influence over how society and it's law operates though sheer unregulated societal power. The group who controls your means of getting food, shelter, medicine, and information will have power over your life, and will bend the rules to their advantage using that power.

The main concern Wikipedia has with notability is that if you don't have reputable secondary source writing about the topic, then you won't have references for any claims in the article. People just starting adding things that they know, or that "everyone knows".

When people disagree about content, Wikipedia always falls back to just reflecting what reliable sources says. And if they disagree, people can always collaborate to try to give due weight to both viewpoints.

But if there are no reputable sources that have already written about the subject, articles risk becoming someone's personal blog about their favorite topic. The notability criteria isn't a bar about what's important enough or 'deserves' a Wikipedia page, it's a super practical matter about verifiability, content disputes, and generally just being on solid ground if any claim is challenged.
Very excited for this as usual, and thanks to a few delays, I won’t be on the train at T-0.

Published standards say that it's OK to destroy evidence as long as you are following written policy that says you shall destroy evidence after a certain limited time. Everything is copacetic here, at least according to published international standards and written corporate policy. Move along.
I'm not sure why that matters. The public concern with Boeing isn't about a single incident, but that there is a culture of corporate recklessness that has resulted in multiple incidents (and might result in more in the future). The notion that they'd kill a whistleblower absolutely speaks to that.
They use rolling frequencies at least our 2021(?) garage opener does, to retry in the presence of narrow band noise from fcc violating devices. We seem to have neighbors blasting rf in the band that our previous builder installed 2014 model used, because it rarely worked unless super close.
You must surely realize that your statement is nonsense. If it were true then there would be no rights. No right or law is ever protected with perfect consistency. The right to life, the right to make personal choices, the right to determine one's own identity—whatever right you may believe in, it is never protected consistently. All rights are "inconsistently protected." Therefore, by your statement, there are no rights.

Are you saying you disbelieve in rights altogether?
When I was in school lunchbreak was 10 minutes, in the classroom of the last finished subject, from 12:15 to 12:25.

France has retained a food and dining culture that is luckily still quite distinct from the work-dominated hectic culture in most other places and I'd say it's one reason why obesity rates and other health markers are much better in the country.
I'm but sure why a murder would make the situation better for Boeing. Especially after his depositions were recorded. If anything, his entire testimony is now fair game without the ability to cross examine him.

Besides, this case was unrelated to the current issues and stemmed from practices under a previous executive team.

Unless you really just love conspiracy theories, this one is awful.
Shrugs. It's an issue, but not necessarily as extreme as some people make it sound, and not entirely limited to the social sciences (see e.g. the justification of the physicist who approved Igor Bogdanov's thesis back in the day: All these were ideas that could possibly make sense. It showed some originality and some familiarity with the jargon. That's all I ask.).
This seems like a nothingburger. Pretty sure security camera footage isn't part of the standard quality/audit process (at Boeing or anywhere else) so a 30 day rolling window makes sense.

What's damning for Boeing is that the actual records of the work performed are missing[1]. Security footage of the work, even if it was present, might not have helped since we're talking about small details like screws here.

In the trade, we used to call it "GameOS". I deployed it and attempted to support the wretched thing, and I always thought it was one of the worst ever.

Underneath there were good changes: >4 IP addresses, multihead graphics and things.

But bundling IE meant it was broken junk, and that was unforgiveable.

It is not about either - it is about attitude and cost. If someone with 30 years experience demands a higher salary for the same skill level as someone with 10 years experience, and also bring in an attitude of being a know-it-all because of those extra years... they won't get hired.

There is also the old cliché that there is a difference between 10 years of experience and one year of experience repeated 10 times. If you are a coder who has repeated the same couple years of experience 10-15 times, then you might be over-estimating your own value.

So as you get older, it takes some humility to truly look at yourself and determine your own value. This is why I moved away from coding and towards product management - I'm a decent coder and people appreciate having me on the team, but my value lies in the lessons learned over the years outside of coding. So I seek roles where I can use that experience, and not the decades of coding experience on mostly dead tech stacks.

There are a lot of examples of successful, affordable, pleasant skyscraper developments across the world. The entirety of the Vancouver city core is an example itself. It seems rather prescriptive to declare tower living uncomfortable when so many people enjoy it.

Just look at some rental listings in the South Loop neighborhood of Chicago. You can get a 2 bedroom apartment in a modern glass tower with amenities galore for well under $3,000 a month in the heart of America’s second largest downtown.

Imagine living completely car-free in a neighborhood like that and commuting 10 minutes to get to your downtown job. (Walk, bike, and transit score >90)

I personally think that’s way more comfortable (and physically safe) than a suburban lifestyle where you’re trapped in your car on a stroad or freeway for every daily need.

As far as vegetated skyscrapers, there are widely acclaimed examples like the Bosco Verticale. It’s not a new concept and I’m not sure what the negative is supposed to be. Plants are bad?
Yeah but those ideas don't work well together, the whole idea of MVP is to move fast, since you don't know if it's worth investing time in those features yet. So it also doesn't make sense to fully develop it to maturity in that line of thought. So practically that's what happens.

1.) Intelligent people befriend other intelligent people.

2.) Intelligent people get higher paying jobs.

3.) Intelligent people live in wealthier areas.

4.) Intelligent people marry other intelligent people.

5.) Intelligent people birth intelligent children.

6.) Intelligent people use their intelligence to augment their kid's intelligence.

7.) Intelligent kids go to step 1.)

The emperor is walking around naked, and virtually all of academia is terrified to acknowledge it (namely step 5). Right there is the solution to 50 years of sociological fumbling to avoid saying "Intelligence has a strong genetic component, and we are not all born with equal mental capabilities"

Once academia can acknowledge this, then they can finally work on real solutions to close the disproportionate economic gaps it creates.

> Yes, but we caution users to evaluate if you really need kubernetes. Chances are you don't

That's an odd, perhaps presumptuous, claim to make considering this isn't even in the same orchestration/scheduling space as Kubernetes. Especially without mentioning alternatives.

From later in the FAQ:

> The complexity that comes with kubernetes is that it requires you to re-invent all the layers of a cloud platform that already exists. If you run a vanilla linux instance on AWS you get out of the box: networking, storage, security, routing, etc all for free.

They might not like the abstractions, but to say you have to "re-invent" all those layers is reaching.
We US adults seem really clueless about kids' need for unstructured time. I clearly remember feeling better after (therefore learning better) after my 2-3 play times. Lunch/play was 75 min, recess was 15 and there was playground time while the buses rolled in.

My grade school kids (mid90s-early10s) had maybe 20min of play after eating and no recess. After school time was was more of the same - because they had >5x (actual) the homework that I did.

It's a high resource approach to learning; in hindsight, I find no benefit in it. It may be one of the reasons they're disinterested in having their own kids.
