The 787 has been in the news very recently for two possibly related incidences of sudden nose-down resulting in similar injuries. They aren't turbulence related, but writing "Boeing" and "injury" in the same headline is going to draw clicks.

Sure, the question is, have you tested the device fresh out the box and found a 3-4x less battery life than advertised in the same test scenario?

I guess that would be fraud, but that depends on what all the fine print on the battery claim states.
> The language's standard library will expose names using the language's convention

In Python the logging library is written in camel case (as it was heavily based on log4j) unlike most of the rest of the standard library, but the developers have let it be because fixing it would break backwards compatibility, and in any case PEP 8 [1] says consistency within a module is more important than global consistency.

In my opinion they should have fixed it in the move from Python 2 to 3, but I guess they had enough headaches from that.

> The way it works today is the way it’s always worked. Laws have always needed enforcers

Again, you are relying on a contested viewpoint in the philosophy of law as if it were obviously true, despite the fact that many people (both historically and today) disagree with it.

It is one thing to argue for a contested philosophical position – but if you are just going to assert it as "obvious" or "self-evident", then you are really just preaching to the choir, you can only ever convince people who already agree with you.
This is actually true. Kids in each generation are apparently more comfortable with technology, which naturally accelerates their awareness and knowledge. I can attest to it anecdotally - my kid is more attuned to the real world than I was at a much higher grade.
Leadership always plays a huge role in the success of any operation. Part of the job of a leader is to understand which advice is worth listening to. Furthermore, advice is never unanimous, there are always huge trade offs to weigh in any large endeavor.
When I walk in a city I don't spend my time constantly scanning the sky and every building around me for a potential falling object. Or research the structural history of every bridge I drive over then spend hours avoiding certain ones. Or a hundred other rare things that do kill people but statistically not often. Everyone dies one day and everyone has a single life. I don't see the point of spending that one life in constant fear of the end that cannot be avoided anyways without even meaningfully changing the timeline of that end.

Very interesting, thank you for sharing the numbers
The code assistance tools right now are still a bit crude compared to what they will be in a year or two even if capabilities do not increase. I think it will be very useful to have "someone" read along as I code and answer questions I ask, or pose questions on why I do things a certain way. Honestly, even if it is just stuff like "What would be a good variable name for this?" or "What was the map()-syntax like again?", this would already facilitate flow quite a bit.

Not having to context switch as much is a real blessing, and I've only reached it in one language in specific contexts. If I can transfer this to many languages and many contexts, my productivity will rise a lot.

> PS: even the changelog doesn't explicitly state that the feature is disabled by default, only indirectly by stating that one needs an OpenAI key because requests cost money.

The changelog reads

One can only misinterpret that to mean the feature is auto-enabled accidentally on purpose. The fact that you cared to edit your comment with that excuse but didn't retract even a single falsehood you spread all over this thread is bad enough. But to continue to pretend that it doesn't require a paid API key even after you explicitly acknowledged that it does? Outright malicious.

Fortran up to 77 (well, technically still everything in fixed-form, a.k.a. punch-card-style source files) ignores spaces.
And AFAIK there still exist both versions of e.g. "goto": "go to" and "goto" are both valid Fortran 90 and later.

This, and the fact that variable names are allowed to be implicitly defined, lead to the famous bug:

DO 10 I = 1.100

declared the variable `DO10I` with a value of 1.1, instead of the loop from 1 to 100 and declaring the "statement label" 10:

DO 10 I = 1,100
SUM = SUM + I
10 CONTINUE
I am confident that authorities (and insurance companies), will want to apportion blame.

However, I want to just stress: while there are some known poor conditions tech can help pilots avoid (for example, thunder storms - pilots avoid those clouds for good reason), there are many types of turbulence which can not be predicted or detected by ground or air based systems.

We are all individually responsible for our behaviour on the aircraft. Regardless of the seatbelt sign status, keep it fastened when seated. If it's lit, stay seated. If it isn't, minimise the time you're not seated. Yes, it's not great on long haul, but the difference between smooth air and being thrown around by an air pocket is seconds. This severity is thankfully very rare, but that doesn't mean any of us should not consider it a risk when deciding how to behave in a plane cabin.
> I worry that you may have chosen a side and are not arguing in good faith

Which side do you think I've picked? What can I say to convince you that I haven't? There are no solutions here. There can be no Palestinian homeland within the 1948 borders without terrible violence. There will be no peace within Gaza and the West Bank without it. At best we can achieve a detent for a while and an end to the immediate violence, with a pie-in-the-sky best case of some kind of end to the west bank settlement activity and maybe a little clawing back of recently-taken territory.

If you're asking for more than that, on either side, you're perpetuating the conflict and making things worse. Because eventually we'll get to a stage where one side isn't dominant, and what happens then is an actual shooting war with millions of civilian casualties.

There are a bunch of things airlines could do. Eliminate drink & food/snack service. Strap in 3 point harness for the whole trip and pee in a bottle if you must.

I can only imagine the conditions his "workers" worked in back then given how poor the conditions still are today.

I don't know this case, but there were many cases before that:

1. No, in most cases it is CAT (clear air turbulence). CB turbulence is easily detected by radar and avoided; CAT doesn't show on radar as there are no clouds involved.

2. No, since it comes without a warning. I mean there are forecasts of CAT, and you also hear what other aircraft report (the ATC takes that into account too), but every now and then someone has to be the first to enter some more shaky air.

Also, in most cases this is at best moderate turbulence (meaning it doesn't really affect the handling of the plane), but that is enough to temporarily get from 1g to 0g or below, and make some passenger fly up in the cabin, then fall down.
Within the last month, a BIOS update was released for my ThinkPad that finally allows this to work reliably under Linux.

"illiterate"

Do you think using capitals at the beginning of a sentence aids comprehension?

I view punctuation and spelling rules as a way to maximize comprehension (akin to having a linting standard). In non formal writing, I don't see any harm in avoiding capitalization (at least it doesn't seem to me to help understanding / reading speed, etc at all).

Yeah, they currently keep it in email app.
I’m also a content OpenSCAD user. I had zero 3D design experience when I bought my first 3D printer. OpenSCAD let me use my coding skills to program shapes for printing. I find the code-first approach much easier to reason about than graphics-first software.

Similarly, mm precision has been fine. All my dimensions are specified in mm, and parts come off the printer at the scale intended.

I’ve also had good luck with some open source OpenSCAD programs, particularly in the Gridfinity ecosystem.

OpenSCAD could use some polish, and perhaps a better packaging system, but it’s a reliable tool for me.

Yeah no thanks. Soo `a-b` and `a - b` are both potentially valid and different?

Also allowing hyphens generally leads to issues when interoperating with other languages that don't support hyphens. Probably the best example of this is CSS which does allow hyphens, and Javascript which doesn't. `background-color` in CSS gets translated to `backgroundColor` in JS.

It's an annoying paper cut that trips up beginners and makes code less greppable. I generally avoid hyphens wherever possible for that reason.
Maybe turning it off and using Paste app instead is worth exploring.

It was all about a character.

They wanted someone that would be able to perform a specific character (the AI in the movie "her"). They were looking for the right person for the fit, they got their eyes on Scarlett (of source, she played the character, originally), and when she refused they found someone else who would be able to deliver a close performance. It happens all the time.

To me, the "sky" voice is way closer to Rashida Jones rather than Scarlett Johansson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJmRaTogqrM&t=370s

Also older versions of FORTRAN, according to Crockford at least :)

> It is good to have names containing multiple words, but there is little agreement on how to do that since spaces are not allowed inside of names. There is wun [sic] school that insists on the use of camel case, where the first letter of words are capitalized to indicate the word boundaries. There is another school that insists that _ underbar should be used in place of space to show the word boundaries. There is a third school that just runs all the words together, losing the word boundaries. The schools are unable to agree on the best practice. This argument has been going on for years and years and does not appear to be approaching any kind of consensus. That is because all of the schools are wrong.

> The correct answer is to use spaces to separate the words. Programming languages currently do not allow this because compilers in the 1950s had to run in a very small number of kilowords, and spaces in names were considered an unaffordable luxury. FORTRAN actually pulled it off, allowing names to contain spaces, but later languages did not follow that good example ... I am hoping that the next language does the right thing and allows names to contain spaces to improve readability.
Do you look both ways when crossing the road?

There are reasonable measures those around you can take to ensure that falling objects don't crash into you from the sky, or that the bridge you're on does not collapse as you're driving over it. The risk is mitigated by reducing likelihood and impact.

There is nothing a pilot can do to avoid an air pocket. There is little mitigation possible.
> If Congress deletes Section 230, the pre-digital legal rules around distributing content would kick in. That law strongly discourages services from moderating or even knowing about user-generated content.

This frankly sounds like a good thing to me. And if there is a side effect that it is no longer easy to build a forum without taking on some liability for the content--the same as any real-world offline forum would have to--that also doesn't sound like a bad thing.

The EFF frankly has a broken, unimaginative, and even obsolete take on this issue: one which insists that the specific way we went about building centralized moderation with built-in traffic surveillance is somehow the only way any of it ever could have worked :/.

The reality is that it isn't the late 90s anymore: we have peer-to-peer network protocols and end-to-end encryption and we now even finally have AI user agents in our toolbox... incentives that cause platforms to "avoid even knowing about user-generated content" is how you ensure everything from network neutrality to basic privacy.

Very cool read over-all. Finding a bug in a game that is over four decades old is hilarious.

> What was amazing though is that all throughout all the code that handles scrolling and clipping, vertical parameters are supported.

Possibly the vertical parameters were either 1) part of the "library" the author had created but not needed for Choplifter, 2) to allow for offsetting the world on other (6502-based) platforms or 3) maybe intended for "bumping" the display when the chopper crashed?

It is in the sense that it's a purpose built time series database. Once upon a time it was definitely among the best too, but IMO their sales and tech and everything strategies have been just massive clusterfucks. They also have the best metrics agent, by far.

They're on their third serious rewrite with breaking changes for users. They pulled features from the open source version (clustering) to have a higher moat for the Enterprise version. They deleted customer data permanently in their hosted version after sending two emails to billing addresses. Their marketing and product naming also sucks:

Not having a shot at you as this happens all the time on these 'Show HN' posts yet I feel it is somewhat deceptive to pitch a product on HN with zero indication on pricing. The first thing I did was check and see the price is nearly $50 a month for the 'recommended' plan.

You're saying "this cost is bad because if we don't cut this cost, we have to cut other costs", but that's true for the other costs as well. The original claim was asymmetrical (that UBI programmes cost money for no benefit; i.e., that they're a waste of money). You can't use a symmetrical argument to support an asymmetrical claim.
Maybe the better way to say it, is that it's not a problem for them right now, and their shareholders do not care about what will happen in a few years. At least to me, it smells of very short term planning and thinking, which is ruining their reputation.
There are two classes of rules here: naming and formatting. Formatting can be completely automated and thus changed at will, even locally with git hooks. Whitespace can be made truly insignificant with the proper tools.

While you could apply the same kind of automated logic to naming, the risk of collision is non zero and moreover would likely break runtime mechanisms like reflection, etc.
I have several friends that are 30+ years as lecturers, also at Russell Group universities, and their view is very different to yours. They're generally of the opinion that UK universities have now turned into visa-mills and poorly run money machines, with lots of students signing up, but far fewer turning up in person and completing the courses.

Essentially the Blair-era of 'expand the universities' (and cynically get the 18-21 yr olds out of the unemployment figures) has lowered standards across the board. They don't, however, see anything like the "drastic" drop in numbers you report.

As an employer in finance, I've seen our criteria in the early 90s go from a first or 2:1 from anywhere, to a first from Oxford/Cambridge/Bristol/Durham/Imperial only, and now our criteria is an MSc from a list, or a PhD from anywhere. Yes, a PhD. And we still get dozens of applicants for a single job.
But then it's not about safety. It's about your need to feel in control of the situation even if the control is an illusion. That is fair in a way but saying it's a safety thing or that people are crazy for not needing to feel in control all the time isn't fair. Or even calling them crazy for not doing the same ultimately meaningless actions as you to create an illusion of control for themselves
