I'm sure I don't have to point out the obvious difference which is that a landing ends with a vertical speed that asymptotically approaches zero whereas a crash also has a terminal vertical speed of zero (obviously) but with a discontinuous derivate and a rather high vertical speed at t minus episilon.

The computer should be able to differentiate between situations where some plausible sequence of pilot actions will result in success, and one where no such success is possible.

"Like the ENIAC, the EDVAC[1] was built for the U.S. Army's Ballistics Research Laboratory at the Aberdeen Proving Ground by the University of Pennsylvania's Moore School of Electrical Engineering. Eckert and Mauchly and the other ENIAC designers were joined by John von Neumann in a consulting role; von Neumann summarized and discussed logical design developments in the 1945 First Draft of a Report on the EDVAC"

In the long run, both will come together, as we have seen with the development of Retina displays on Ipads. In the short term, your eyes will never be fooled by the current levels (even retina) of resolution at the yellow spot of your eyes, but your brain will always respond to field of view which does not need highest resolution.

There is no reason why one would use SQLite in real production. Even during testing and dev, I am a firm believer of testing against real database that you are going to use in production. The problem "it's hard to setup a new database" is a result of not willing to invest in re-provisionable system.

I've used one of these before. They are useful for attaching serial devices to an Ethernet network. It's a lot cheaper and easier than trying to put a PC with enough serial ports near every device you need to talk to.

Why would Maildir help here? Unless the file itself was saved separately and linked from the email in an app-specific way you still wouldn't be able to open it directly in your spreadsheet app. (excluding fusefs-style magic)

Unless you have a well-defined structures stored somewhere, you just get extensions on top of extensions... see things as simple as 'ar' files for example. Also Maildirs have lots of different formats and ways of indexing - each app treating the files as "just files" and doing it in a very specific way :( Sometimes I really appreciate the "here's an API, you will never know where/how it's stored and you shouldn't care" approach.
I find your comment pretty harsh, and I think you have a narrow view of the story: it's not about how amazingly innovative this app is, it's about how a man who has nothing but a laptop could learn how to program and release something that is useful for many people.

My question to you is why shouldn't we care about another human being?

imo the problem is that you're so submerged in the industry-driven world that your mind believes the value of a person is based on their capacity to create the next Big Product... it's sad.

Security is a judicial procedure, which is why we try and convict spies of espionage using evidence gathered by investigations rather than disappearing and executing people suspected of being traitors.

> Did we need to have a formal court trial with a smoking gun before we decided Dual_EC_DRBG was untrustworthy?

No, because you can't try algorithms in a court of law. Algorithms don't have moral agency and can't act of their own accord. This analogy is unhelpful.

> Did we say 'yes, it's the NSA'...

The implication being that the NSA, an untrustworthy actor, created the PRNG and hence the PRNG is suspicious. That's reasonable. What's the analogy in the case of Qian? That he had been strongly linked or associated with activity or actors that were engaged in espionage? Fair enough. If you are claiming that his ancestry alone justifies as much suspicion in him as the provenance of Dual_EC_DRBG justifies suspicion in that PRNG...then we may have to agree to disagree.
Well said. It's all fun and philosophical games until you realize the self-righteousness of the state comes from barrel of a gun.

This attitude actually erodes our legal rights, because it causes police officers, judges and jurors to have less reason to think people are acting in good faith when they exercise their rights, causing innocent people to be found guilty and eventually leading to these rights being weakened by having the law change.

Innocent people around found guilty because they think they have nothing to hide, they make statements that inadvertently end up hurting them, and the police or prosecutors do not care.

It is called an adversarial system for a reason; they are not on your side. And news flash: police can/have been dishonest, will lie to suspects, etc.

"Good faith" has nothing to do with exercising your rights. Being guilty or innocent has nothing to do with your rights. You are entitled to your rights regardless. Your idea of judges and jurors being jaded by guilty people pleading innocent is not real.

Look, I get it, you're very committed to this amorphous concept of "majoritarian consensus", but you shouldn't expect everyone else to be on board. Right here, we've learned majoritarian consensus implies acts that were legal for the first 150 years of the USA and will also be legal tomorrow, just happen to mean long prison terms today. Oh well, sucks to be us! That is indefensible, yet it is what your theory commits you to defend.

I also got 1600. I read a lot. In high school (many years ago) I made a game of starting my math homework when the teacher started collecting it, and usually finished in time. I got very used to skimming by. I did graduate from university, but it was by the skin of my teeth. Other than that, OP's experience was very similar to my own. Depression played a huge role in all of this.

(I'm doing fairly well now, but it was a bumpy road.)
Almost all recent commercial aircraft have autoland [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoland] which will bring the aircraft down from cruise phase to the taxiway in a fully automated fashion.

"Autoland systems were designed to make landing possible in visibility too poor to permit any form of visual landing, although they can be used at any level of visibility. They are usually used when visibility is less than 600 meters RVR and/or in adverse weather conditions, although limitations do apply for most aircraft—for example, for a Boeing 747-400 the limitations are a maximum headwind of 25 kts, a maximum tailwind of 10 kts, a maximum crosswind component of 25 kts, and a maximum crosswind with one engine inoperative of five knots. They may also include automatic braking to a full stop once the aircraft is on the ground, in conjunction with the autobrake system, and sometimes auto deployment of spoilers and thrust reversers."

"Autoland requires the use of a radar altimeter to determine the aircraft's height above the ground very precisely so as to initiate the landing flare at the correct height (usually about 50 feet (15 m)). The localizer signal of the ILS may be used for lateral control even after touchdown until the pilot disengages the autopilot. For safety reasons, once autoland is engaged and the ILS signals have been acquired by the autoland system, it will proceed to landing without further intervention, and can be disengaged only by completely disconnecting the autopilot (this prevents accidental disengagement of the autoland system at a critical moment). At least two and often three independent autopilot systems work in concert to carry out autoland, thus providing redundant protection against failures. Most autoland systems can operate with a single autopilot in an emergency, but they are only certified when multiple autopilots are available."

"Autoland is highly accurate. In his 1959 paper [2] John Charnley, then Superintendent of the UK Royal Aircraft Establishment's Blind Landing Experimental Unit (BLEU), concluded a discussion of statistical results by saying that "It is fair to claim, therefore, that not only will the automatic system land the aircraft when the weather prevents the human pilot, it also performs the operation much more precisely"."

Excellent. Instead of looking at the bigger picture that depicts how this isn't a viable option to solve the problems of poverty and homelessness, you co-opt it as a libertarian talking point. Bravo!

This guy most likely would have had the same fate as a majority of the homeless if it wasn't for a select individual who decided to dedicate his time to educate the man on how to write code.

To pretend that this situation is anything other than a reflection on the sad state of affairs.the disadvantaged in this country face, the reality that says if they don't happen to know someone who is willing to dedicate a large chunk of time to adequately prepare them to enter a new profession and provide necessities, they are screwed, is myopic and incredibly self-serving.

There is a reason we have a social safety net, it is because fluff pieces like this cannot be applied to the situation at large, and disadvantaged people tend to fall through the cracks thus have less people in their lives who might help them like this man.

Reading this article and twisting it into a talking point that will be construed as advocacy of dismantling that safety net isn't something to be proud of.

[Sigh]

I guess broken worldviews like this are why Datalog never really got off the ground in the DB community.
This trend started a few years ago. Typically, the goal of the acquiring company is to make the startup an "honors' college" that evolves into an R&D lab. Staples Innovation Lab is one example that's highly visible in the Clojure community.

This can be politically messy because it leaves open questions about extension of corporate policies (do people used to having 5+ weeks of vacation end up on 3? how do transfers work?) and division of labor, but I think it's a good thing that's generally done with the right intentions.

Ultimately, large companies have finally realized that the best way to get top talent is to revive R&D. If you don't have the R&D culture that top talent demands, you get eaten by software instead of participating in the eating. One could just pay people more, but the costs of this are exponential (20-30% raises each year to keep people happy, as opposed to 5-10% when they enjoy their work) and only finance can afford that for senior people.

I'm glad to see it. The honors colleges, as they become more numerous, are going to provide young talent with much better places to start their careers than VC-funded startups or traditional large companies. I think we'll see it become possible again for the entry-level programmer to have a solid 5-year start with increasing scope of responsibility, instead of having to job hop and play politics to get real projects in the way that most of us did when we were at that point. (Or maybe I'm being unrealistically hopeful.)

I love this site. I went through every lesson like 6 months ago because, although I could type prose very quickly, I had not mastered the programmer typing that it takes to quickly experiment on the unix shell or hit opening braces and parens with consistency.

Although typing certainly isn't a big development bottleneck, being able to type fast lowers your overall cognitive load and lets you stay in the problem domain you're working on.

It's not like loud noises are a programming bottleneck either -- but it's certainly nice to eliminate a nuisance.
Except that while Graphite is a "real web application", it's generally internal-facing only. As such, I never looked at it as needing a true "production-ready" RDBMS with real concurrency. And to be honest, we got by just fine with it in production at Heroku and GitHub, at heavy volume, running in a single server on SQLite. It never bit us, and all things considered, was a reasonable choice.

That said, knowing what I know now, I would've never done that. ;-)

They're excluding streaming and torrenting.
I will take the advice provided the day I deploy a Go app that prints a single static string to the stream. In other words, absolutely never.

This is the core problem with such benchmarks - that 'overhead' quickly becomes proportionally irrelevant when you're actually doing something worth doing. But with Nginx in front, suddenly you have so much flexibility without reinventing the wheel, including load balancing, mixing server technologies with ease, not dealing with static junk in your go code, proxy caching (recently used this to really good effect with a Go service, putting zero caching in the Go code and instead using standard http expiration headers to allow Nginx to do the magic), anti-DOS, streaming compression, security, SPDY, and on and on.

As fair disclosure, I have written on this before - http://dennisforbes.ca/index.php/2013/08/07/ten-reasons-you-...
The braindead decision (in my uninformed, armchair pilot opinion) was made when the controls were no longer physically linked. Once you have controls that can move independently of each other, none of the options for handling conflicting inputs makes sense to me...

Sum them?

Only take the most extreme of the two inputs (in any given direction)?

Only take the most recently seen input?

Averaging makes more sense than any of those, given the premise of "Control sticks that can move in different directions"

I've been commuting by bike ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgvjnOJwWTU ) for about 20 years now and I feel that every motor vehicle occupant should be wearing a helmet.

The case is quite clear: Most people who die in cars have not had their heads protected by a helmet at the time of the fatal collision. While they might very well be dead regardless, so might the occasional cyclist that got run over by a lorry while not wearing her helmet, so this doesn't really enter the argument.

When helmets are mandatory for car occupants, I shall laugh at their faces and ask them if they feel any safer crossing the railroad tracks. I'm also certain my ill manners will improve road safety by a measurable margin.

And, of course, I wear a helmet most of the time.

They still have C++/CLI but yeah, they do seem to be moving back to good old COM in C++/CX
I disagree because it is internal facing lol. If the software is capable of running on a true production-ready DBMS, there is no point why it can't be done already.

If SQLite is cheap to use because it's a single file, well, a sudo apt-get install PostgreSQL and then a few commands to set up the database and user password won't take you longer than 10 minutes. That's what I am arguing. There is no reason why we would use SQLite for heavy loading application such as logging. And I think we can now agree that's indeed true and I think we should promote people to use production-ready DBMS even during dev and testing, because those are the one you are going to use in production :)

I've known people to make the same argument against learning a good text editor.
