Airspeed is actually a secondary and unreliable indicator of a stall. It's commonly said that "you can stall an airplane at any airspeed and at any attitude". This is not strictly true, but it gets the point across that there's a wide range of situations in which you can stall. You can be going near zero speed and not be in a stall if you're pulling near zero gees (e.g. going over the top of a parabolic arc), and you can be going well above the normal stall speed and still stall if you're pulling a lot of gees (e.g. making a steep turn, this is called an accelerated stall).

As sibling replies mention, angle of attack is the key indicator. There's a critical angle where you're stalled if you go beyond it, and not stalled below it, regardless of airspeed.
People used "eh?" when I was in Japan. I had to teach myself to use it rather than "huh?"
A lot of that was once at AEMMA site, but long gone.
I am glad many titles are back again.
That was his point. You might have missed the first sentence in his post which said "I'd say more."

He was saying the 50% estimate was too conservative.
> "less food"

But that is true only if it is proportionally less food (that is, 15% less would mean exactly 15% less of everything). Any variation would mean that it is not 100% true:

If you eat 2kg less lettuce but eat 0.5kg more fat, you're eating "less", but taking in more energy (whether you use it or not is a completely different issue ...)

And if you replace your food with calorie sparse food, you can eat "more food" but take in less calories.

How much calories you will actually keep or use, rather than throw out is a different question.

Thus, your statement of 100% truth is wrong, and logically useless, even if practically it is mostly useful.
Isolating moving objects in video, a simple technique
Have you tried debugging using LiteIDE? I've had mixed experiences with it, most of the time I end up using fmt anyway.
I'd criticize this decision even without an accident. I've minimal experience flying planes, but I have a hard time trying to come up with a reason to remove feedback. The safety record is probably due more to the redundancy and safety attitude in air travel in general. The safety record shouldn't be used to excuse specific poor design decisions.
Introducing Your Big Pitch – Give your business ideas a better chance of success
"I doubt it has anything to do with the ciphers itself."

Me too, I just wanted to give a rich range of examples.

I fear it will end up being the "turn off SSL 3.0 everywhere, it's now been rendered useless".

"A heads up is always useful."

Yes, but one slightly more useful would be even more useful, without having to be anywhere near detailed enough to give away the problem.

If anything argues against this being serious it is that it is apparently not such a big deal that the actual responsible people feel a need to issue any sort of warning. While I fear the worst, here's hoping the Register is just fearmongering, as is their wont.
Clocker Update – Adding SDN Support with Weave and Other New Goodies
The difference is that an automatic car that gets in over its head can just stop, presumably pulling off the road first if it's able. In this instance, instead of falling back to various alternate laws and finally crashing into the ocean, the car analog of AF447 could just pause and let the pilots figure things out at leisure.

Mark Zuckerberg donates $25M to fight Ebola
I parsed it in one pass (don't have strong feelings for pleasure or pain on it). It's not the best sentence ever, but I don't really see the problem with it. To find out, how about we try to say the same thing in a different style:

>Issaacson's book is surprising, because his last book was about Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs was portrayed in that book as a radical and congenitally irascible individual. The kind we think of as totally "American". Now, since Isaacson's book was kind to Jobs, we might think that he is in favor of such an individualistic understanding of genius. It is thus surprising that his new book strongly praises the virtue of three ideas: (1) cooperation in general, (2) the idea that collective effort has a multiplicative result from its individual parts, and (3) the way that industry, academia, and government can work together with exceptional results. These are antithetical to the myth of the lone genius that appears in the Jobs book. So, like we said, it's surprising.

.....

All he's saying here is that he's surprised because one book seemed to argue for the individual, and this new one argues for collective effort. I, for one, find his version easy to read, and my version to be easy to understand, but boring. You'll also notice it's not actually any shorter, and I find that breaking things into short sentences gets more tedious to read than a long, well-formed sentence. It forces you to really be pedantic, like with my closing sentence - which was necessary to tie all those individual short sentences together. In a long sentence, those are just subclauses, so you don't have be repetitious about the hierarchy of meaning.
DIRTY TUESDAY: Chinese Shipping Apocalypse
Microsoft already has the .chm format, so there might be a patent, but I'm no expert. I don't really know how their format works though. It might be compiled as in "obfuscated".

But I don't think there's any existing, open format like that. Plain text html has the advantage of being easily diagnosed and immediatly readable, but you could easily make a binary format decompilable. I guess most programmers prefer having plain text because it's right before their eyes, it also sort of is "open", but that's not what open source really means.

It's not a new idea, but when I think about it, compiled html is a good solution to speed up web browsers. Now the .CHM format is not what you would want, as it's more targeted towards documentation, and is not extensible with CSS like html is now. It's an abandoned format I guess. Lighter than PDF I think.

By the way, when I say compiled HTML, I mean a binary version of a webpage that is already parsed. Would be a tree structured file. The goal is to remove the parsing phase.

But indeed, that could be a good opportunity for big tech firms to push that format. As long as it's open it might be a big success.
This is absolutely amazing...
Useful means actionable. Eating at a restaurant? Eat half the meal, take half home.

The reason folks find it hard to apply the simple thermodynamic truth is, they are actually working hard to eat as much as they can get away with. Instead of just eating very little and losing weight, which would in fact work for almost everybody.

> Nice. I hadn't played around or even heard of SSE.

Yeah SSE is one of the most interesting APIs people have never heard about, everybody jumped on WS but for many use cases SSE is more than sufficient, much simpler to deploy and use and a much simpler upgrade path from polling.
This seems very bad, I'm assuming this applies to all customers whether businesses or not, so here are a few potential gotchas I see-

1. You sell to an individual who is not in the country that their payment information is related to and is not delivered to that country, do you charge VAT based on the payment information alone or do you have to physically verify that they are in the country claiming the VAT?

2. Prepaid CC can have false information, how do you determine is it is true so you can charge the right VAT?

3. Fraud, if you sell something to a fraudster, do you have to find out which country the fraudster was in to determine VAT you owe after the fact?

4. What about Bitcoin transactions where no location information is known?
Just now, I was confused. I remembered there were two browsers with roughly the same name, and when I saw the title I had to think about which was which.
Maybe (although I think the class names I used are going to be constant), but it should be easy to update the CSS if that happens.
Exactly - and the declining demand explanation doesn't even necessarily imply a general societal-level lack of demand. Simply that the academic system is now weighted to favor increasing funding for administrators rather than the professoriate, which creates a lack of opportunities for early-career researchers.
Bug Reporting for Web Developers
I'm 27 and identify more with the over-30s. Then again I've never really grokked the new wave of smartphone-based social media. I never use Twitter, I deactivated my Facebook, and I consume 99% of my internet time at a desktop computer.

I feel like an old fogie and like I'm missing out on something. I like text messages and wish everyone would go back to using AIM -- it worked better than most social communication apps do now.
8 Tips for Non-Technical First Time Startup Founders
Slack is down for some accounts
I often describe Go as being boring as a positive asset. For example, when people what makes Go special, I say "it's not better than any specific language at specific things, but generally better than most languages at general things." Which is extremely dull, but most of the time you do just want something straightforward, stable and ordinary when you have normal development projects.

So I think Go is an extremely dull language - but personally I think that's what makes it so good.

Helenita's bone marrow transplant did not work Please HELP
To test the truth, try the converse. If you eat more, will you gain weight? Most of us would agree this is an obvious truism.

Or take the limit. If you eat nothing, will you lose weight? Obviously you will.

The question exists because folks want to eat as much as they can, and also lose weight. Give in to thermodynamics, eat very little, and lose weight as quickly as you like. That's chemistry and physics right there.
I wouldn't be surprised if Google acquired Uber or Lyft within the next few years. The massive amount of data one of those companies can provide would beneficial enough to Google to justify the purchase - mapping data for Google maps, traffic data for Google Now/Maps, detailed driving data for the self-driving car project, information about where specific users go (targeted ads, Now, etc), and more.

Additionally, Google's self-driving car technology that it's developing would be best-suited to something like Uber or Lyft. The self-driving car is (at least at first) much better for an on-demand usage model, rather than an ownership model.

Who ever reads a longform piece of good journalism or (gasp!) a book anymore? I guess the answer is those who are force-fed this ancient and boring medium by means of still being able to afford a citizenship-minded Liberal Arts degree that would otherwise implicate them in more debt than their projected lifetime employment value.

Some of my friends use stickers all the time- those of my friends who use facebook messaging a lot. You can even buy expansion sets. I should note these people are all 30-something (you can tell by the fact that they are still using facebook messaging)
This is quite interesting, because after the Python fiasco in 2012/13 I thought a new language like Go would have learned from that and done that right from the beginning and I always thought Go did it. "We don't care" is even worse than "we just don't know how, yet".
That's the plan, after the compiler is converted to Go and there's an internal SSA form, etc.

Depends how you define "proper" and how you imagine a debugger interface to be with which you can handle a running application with hundreds, if not thousands of goroutines.
I think it's the other way around. There's lots of great stuff, and lots of dominant creative figures, such that it's impossible to pick through all the geniuses to find just "one" to be the "best".

Part of why the Classical composers loom so large in our minds is that they were the only "genre" of music available (by the rich modern standards of the term "genre"). We look backwards, and they are all there is to see. Now there's a bajillion genres, and many of them are full of very smart, experienced people plugging away.

I do not mourn this turn of events. I celebrate it.

(And yes, I am well aware that "Western" music is not the only kind and there's rich traditions of music in all ethnicities, etc etc. Still, Western music of the Classical era was something special and I don't think it's amiss to observe that. In the end, what they created was for all humanity, as evidenced by how quickly it has spread to all, and it is not surprising that when we look back, what we see is Bach and his progeny, which includes Beethoven.)

I think that's not true. Its nice to extoll Mozart but their catalog might be commensurate, you'd have to do the legwork. I say, geniuses are all around us but we're acculturated to say 'the old masters can't be beat' without actually adding it up.

It seems like there should be a service for the interesting documents to go to historians or something. Then they can take their time going through it to see what has historical value and what does not, and make a non-split-second decision.
Regarding the article's mention of GopherJS: The Google Dart project should adopt Go as its language and reboot. Dart hasn't gone anywhere. GopherJS is a great low-budget transpiler and its source could be incorporated into a Go-based Dart.

It would be great to see what could be accomplished with a big-budget GopherJS.
How a misplaced comma cost the US government $38.4M
Different people have different requirements. It makes no sense to declare some tool to be THE STANDARD(TM) if it's of no use for a large proportion of their users.

The way $GOPATH works and dependencies are managed is well-documented. Everybody is free to develop their own tooling. Right now, many people flock towards godep, but that might change in the future. Also, since this is only relevant during development and for compilation, getting it right is not as important as if you had to deploy every single one of your dependencies. With Go, you get one binary, and that's what you deploy.

> Yes, a prerequisite to using a JavaScript framework is understanding prototypical inheritance

Obviously, but you shouldn't have to care about prototypical inheritance for simple databinding. The way view-models work in Angular leads to some complicated scenarios which, in my opinion, shouldn't exist in the first place (http://toddmotto.com/all-about-angulars-emit-broadcast-on-pu...).

> What?

See https://medium.com/@kentcdodds/counting-angularjs-watchers-1... for an explanation.

> To date I haven't seen a coherent argument against Angular; complaints seem focused around having to learn framework specific syntax (present in any large MVC framework) or the perceived "heaviness" of the framework (suggesting the apps you're building aren't complex enough to justify something like Angular)

I have no problem with learning framework specific syntax and Angular is actually lightweight, both from an architecture and from a code weight point of view. What I do find problematic in Angular are some design decisions which often lead to complicated, and non-beautiful, code. Angular is no doubt incredibly useful, even for smaller apps, and I'm grateful for its existence. It is a step in the right direction. But I do think it has room for improvement.

Unless you know the right magic spells to invoke in order to keep the demons away. I know one that goes, "I'm not consenting to any searches. Am I free to go? Am I under arrest?" If you keep chanting it in the right tone, there's a good chance you'll escape.
I'm at a bootstrapped company that was profitable since inception, so we're relatively safe in the event of a collapse in VC funding.

My concern is that, as far as I can tell, almost all bootcamp-trained coders are going to VC-funded startups, many of which are fairly early stage. Those jobs could all disappear overnight, so to speak, if a bunch of VCs decided they wanted to invest their money in something other than technology.
7 Bootstrap Editors for Rapid Development of Responsive Websites
Before seeing your reply, I did a similar "alternate version" write up. I disagree that the long sentence makes you forget he's trying to contrast something. There's a built in hierarchy in the grammar itself that tells you this is all tied together (in a comparison). I find that short, rapidfire sentences makes me lose track of the controlling idea easier.

Edited to add: How many times do you have to repeat that each sentence is continuing the thought: "This is interesting..." "His new book is different..."

... Your example isn't hard to read, either. But it's hard to say that it's more concise and precise.
Platform.Twitter.com (where Tweet button JavaScript is hosted) has been down for ages
Accessing all my mail is a tough sell but allowing you to delete and send email on my behalf requires a lot more trust than you have built up thus far. That isn't to say I don't think this looks really cool and like a good idea, but that I am disappointed I can't try it out.

Can anyone from conspire comment on why it needs more than read-only access to your mail? From reading the privacy policy I gather that the reason might be because they are trying to actually protect people's privacy by not sharing the email address of the person they are emailing on your behalf. I'm not sure though, and if it is actually sending an email from an account that you own I don't see how they can hide that from you. They could delete the sent message to do a basic cover up but (I think) anyone who really wanted to know could probably find out the last email that was sent from their account. Then again if the messages are sent using their service as a middleman (more likely imho) then I'm still stumped as to why they need more than 'read only' access to my email.
Yeah, even though it's suicidal, the angle of attack can physically be larger than 40 degrees, so I am not sure why would it be discarded as invalid. Most likely Airbus engineers decided that since no one would try to ascend at such ridiculous angle(especially since the autopilot will correct if the angle of attack is larger than 15 degrees), then such high values must indicate a broken sensor. A decision which contributed to the catastrophe, unfortunately.

It's much less of a problem in a single-threaded program because no other threads can be running at the point where you call fork(). So there's no worry about a mutex being held (assuming you don't fork with a mutex held, but don't do that), and you can know exactly which files are open at that point in time.
Why do you say that GDB is not the answer? In my experience, GDB (and DDD) works great with Go!
A mix of context and content. We are not reading this article for pleasure, but for information, so give us the information! Like this:

Isaacson’s latest book is a paean to cooperation, to the idea of force-multiplication through collective effort and, in particular, to the transformative power of the diamond triangle of industry, academia and government. This is surprising given it comes after his biography of Steve Jobs, who is generally, though not entirely correctly, understood to be the model of the radical (and congenitally irascible) American

This puts the meat of the sentence up front and loses the passive participle ("coming") which is weak and awkward. The second sentence could be a subordinate clause (", which is surprising...") but given the author thought the factor of surprise strong enough to lead with it should likely stand on its own. Using "feature" is unnecessary, and as the Bible (Strunk & White) tells us, "eliminate unnecessary words".

The Dickens sentence tells us what its about ("the hour of my birth") up front, tells us the source of the information, then tells us the information, which if we didn't source would seem simply ridiculous. By telling us the source first we learn something of the narrator's character as both a bit of a skeptic and keen observer of the less skeptical amongst us.
> It's "already been done"

But that's a terrible, awful reason to not write music in that old style! If Mozart were alive today, wouldn't he still be writing music in his style? So what's wrong with somebody else writing it for him, now that he's dead. Maybe it's difficult to sell, but still.
Caveat: I haven't read the spec. But at that level wouldn't you just be doing pointer math to access specific parts of the word?
