You got downvoted but I agree with you. Reading engi_nerd's comments in this thread, one can't help but notice that he rigorously defends the F-35 and questions the credibility of anyone (e.g. David Axle) who points out major flaws in the plane's design. Even if he's not a paid shill, I would bet money that he's involved in the military-industrial complex somehow.
My argument is the gun software is not the ready which you have confirmed. Also, for a CAS platform the pathetic 220 rounds is really going to be a problem.

>How does this whole F35 thing pan out when logistics like that are taken into account?

Pretty poorly given the long mission turnaround time and otherwise low projected availability/readiness.
Not sure why the downvote but, if I wasn't clear: the comic relates much the same information as the parent post but with a tad more humor.
So you're a software guy, right? Ever do a phased release? Wherein you design capability to be released in different increments. I know this isn't the most popular of software methodologies, but it's how defense projects work. Your complaint is like saying, "You worked all this time to get to phase 2 and you don't have feature X done yet?" and the engineers say, "But feature X isn't even intended to be in the software until phase 4!"

EDIT: I should point out that as a defense acquisition project, THIS (http://www.hjspllc.com/2014dev/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/DA...) is what governs the F-35 and most projects the DoD does. Look upon these works, ye sorry engineers, and despair. I took several hundred hours of courses about this process and I could not even begin to explain it, it's so ridiculous.

Tons of waterfall and spiral development there.

It's poor speculation.

China's growth has been trending down for a decade plus. The fundamentals of their economy continue to get worse by the year. Keeping that picture in mind, their stock market lifted off to insane heights, in a matter of months, for absolutely no good reason other than a flood of margin that was encouraged by the State.

China's stock market crashed because it went up drastically for reasons that were never going to be able to support the new levels (ie not due to growth or general improvement in economic fundamentals).

The US has also not been crashing their real estate market the past year. That too is a mess of their own making.

How does the output of the ClojureScript-compiler-in-ClojureScript compare to the real thing? Do you lose the Google Closure optimizations, and if so, does that mean it isn't a good idea to compile your web app using the ClojureScript compiler running in Node (for example)? It's nice if you can compile ClojureScript on a machine without Java.

As shaynbaron pointed out and it is a good point, generally we are SMB focused and not looking at the Enterprise sales cycle. Enterprise sales in general drastically increases the sales cycle and complexity which I am not actively focused on right now.
I strive for rigor in facts. Look, the fact is that the plane is kind of stubby looking and is not the quantum leap in maneuverability that, say, generation 4 represented from the previous gen. But I get very, very tired of people taking a poorly researched article that takes major sections of a report out of context (yes, I'm aware that Axe published the whole thing, but he still doesn't draw the correct conclusions from it) and then using that to say, "See? The F-35 sucks after all". The F-35 is a complex answer to a complex question, and it cannot be so simply understood. I wish it could. I love engineering simplicity and elegance and strive for it in my own designs, but anything in the military-industrial complex is hairy and ugly.

And yes, I know that from personal experience. Is that a bad thing?

And that's what our leaders don't understand. If the NSA has access to backdoors in collusion with vendors, what stops China or Russia from exploiting the same backdoors ? absolutely nothing. If the NSA can hack phones because provider X or Z has setup a "secret" interface for that purpose, well it's going to be exploited by someone else, and foreign hackers will figure it out. How can the NSA be sure that PRISM and co themselves aren't compromised?
He implied his involvement in this stuff in his own statements. He's clearly got an attachment. That's fine, though, so long as he backs up claims with evidence and we can focus on quality of claims/evidence. An example of that is the F-16 vs F-35 thread we have going on where he's produced useful links.

Just for DX / ergonomics, I'd like to mimic more of the file I/O stuff that you have in Clojure, especially the ability to cope with streams. And then perhaps having network I/O would be interesting as well.

Then there is the `clojure.java.shell` namespace that could prove very useful for scripting.

Ok, I just tried to use your website. I have no idea what you are going to charge me to ship the orders.

My issues were all with host-only network adapters. NAT worked just fine.
Japan also has a culture of guilty until proven innocent, which contributes to why the conviction rate is so high.

I'm a systems & software guy w/ a high assurance focus so I'm familiar with that sort of thing. It taught me to prioritize based on what was more vs less critical. So, it's supposed to destroy targets. Means it has to take off, detect the target, destroy with missiles/guns, and return. The essentials of these get done first and then everything else.

A program that's spent this money with this many features without a working gun is not how we do phases in delivery. That's defense programs gone wrong. Further, the other commenter's link shows this isn't a phase: it's a delay caused by the failure of one. Plenty of delays, overruns, and even decommissioning to make up for it support how poorly-managed this program is. And such poor management and priorities support that this isn't merely a lifecycle issue.
Gaming on Mac What You Need to Know
I just lack the part of my imagination that makes me care what anybody else makes. So far as I am concerned, it's simply not important.

I'd love to talk to somebody overpaid by three orders of magnitude but only to find out how it happened, in a "The Man Who Would Be King" sort of way. The world is far too arbitrary and random for anything like that to have too much meaning.

Indeed, someone in the office next to me in a dying company went on to harvest quite a bit of stock options - I spoke with her husband years after. She was definitely worth it, but it's still like the opposite of a tree falling on you.

The second rule is that what I make is important, but only to me and no you can't find out. Consistency has its limits.
I'm a numbers and figures guy, I want to be judged on the quality of what I present. I admit to being passionate about what we're talking about here. But I am trying not to let that cloud my arguments. Apologies if it has been that way.

Yup, there's no denying the software is not ready. As I pointed out, the gun is still being tested.

And let's be clear about that 220 rounds -- that's only on the F-35A. The number is less for the other two variants (180) which have to carry the gun externally in a pod. So that is even worse!

Impressive, certainly. But I'm not quite comfortable with it. Growing a human brain seems uncommonly close to creating a crippled human being, intentionally. I don't know where the line is, but it doesn't seem good to me for society to be walking this close to it.

> The Obama administration has determined that it must retaliate against China for the theft of the personal information of more than 20 million Americans from the databases of the Office of Personnel Management

Someone tell me what use China has for "personal information" of Americans from the Office of Personnel Management.

Seriously. What do the records contain and what is it to China? Wouldn't China be more interested in the "personal information" of their own peons?

> But in a series of classified meetings, officials have struggled to choose among options that range from largely symbolic responses — for example, diplomatic protests or the ouster of known Chinese agents in the United States

So how classified were the meetings if you know what they talked about?

> In public, Mr. Obama has said almost nothing, and officials are under strict instructions to avoid naming China as the source of the attack.

.. But it's alright for the New York Times to declare to the world that China is being naughty?

> unless the United States finds a way to respond to the attacks, they are bound to escalate

Yeah, pretty soon the Chinese government will be hacking PayPal for Americans' credit card numbers! You know, for extra revenue and all.

> In the Sony attack, the theft of emails was secondary to the destruction of much of the company’s computer systems, part of an effort to intimidate the studio to keep it from releasing a comedy that portrayed the assassination of Kim Jong-un, the North Korean leader.

Why the hell would the Chinese government give a flying fuck about a comedy about Kim Kong-Un? Let alone to the extent of "destroying Sony's computer systems", whatever that's supposed to mean? How do you destroy computers by hacking them remotely?

> The Justice Department is exploring legal action against Chinese individuals and organizations believed responsible for the personnel office theft

So assuming these people were working for the Chinese government, the US would have to extradite/kidnap them from China to get them convicted. How's that for "escalation"?

If kidnapping isn't in the plans, why would they "explore" legal action, knowing it would be a waste of time? Why would they publicize their plans for legal action? Do they just want to make themselves look stupid?

In reality, this article is just Cold War 2.0 propaganda. Who knows if any hacking even happened? It makes no sense for China to hack Sony over a movie, so why wouldn't this be bullshit too?

Russia and China are Bad, mmm'kay?
It is perplexing that someone who you deem to be "historically and technically illiterate" and who you accuse of not "actually reading Haiku's scheme" actually has been reading the Haiku commit logs and can point to this :

"* This will be heavily inspired by Apple's launchd, as well as systemd -- for now it really doesn't do a whole lot, though."

Note the "as well as" here.

"* This follows systemd design; since those jobs are fixed, it doesn't matter where you maintain them."

And as far as FreeBSD is concerned :

I'm not sure who appears to be more historically and technically-challenged here.

In the scope of Linux it is appropriate to call systemd revolutionary. Criticizing the choice of this term only shows how you are reduced to nitpicking word choices. Just like you are reduced to making assumptions about my historical and technical literacy. The part where you feel the need to show that you know some things like some teacher's pet is entertaining too.

Well, you would have to prioritize how you wanted to kill targets, as you say. The program has chosen to delay focus on the gun until later. Was that a wise decision? I honestly don't know.

And also, history nerd that I am...most of the high profile defense programs that I can think of were off the rails at one point or another. This is not to excuse anything (boy, people love that argument, that other programs had issues but turned out fine, so this will, too...I don't like that one), but to point out the fact that we as a society really don't understand how to do this kind of thing well. F-15 and F-16 were both lampooned in their day as being bloated and late and ineffective (I can anticipate the objection now -- not to this same degree -- and cannot argue against it). The Bradley's problems were so famous that HBO made "The Pentagon Wars" (which is a movie that I would actually highly recommend). The A-10 was not paid much attention to publicly but the Air Force of the 1970s hated it and wanted it to die before it ever left a drafting board (they were wrong, of course).
It probably is. I wonder if people get addicted to fear.

I've been waiting for good tutorials for to many years. I come from the 500 page computer phone books! I would go to B & N--and literally pick up a phone book--filled with confusion/pontification/useless diagrams/filler? I would pick these books up, and wonder "Who reads these?"

At first, I blamed the Editors.(I just figured the person/persons didn't understand the material, and only corrected serious grammatical errors?)

As years went by, books/tutorials became better, but even the better ones Left Out Steps? They just expected me to know what they are poorly writing about? If the information was free--fine? It bothered me when I paid $39.99 for a poorly written technical manual. (I will pay for thin books! I've never picked up a book, and felt weight equated with cost. The thinner the better?)

I went through Djanjo Girls tutorial and with every page--it felt good. It was to the point. It didn't leave out steps. Yes, I will repeat; it didn't leave out steps! It didn't go off on tangents.

I wish them well. To any future writers out there; less is more. I've thought about writing a technical manual, and I am seriously considering using a cartoon format. Maybe not literally, but less is more. There's no need for overly long sentences, and pages to explain what could fit in a well written paragraph. If a topic is important, put an askerick in the margin?(As a reader, I take those Tips seriously. I will read other material, until I grasp what you are trying to get across.)

To those of you just starting out in Computing--it is definetly easier to learn this stuff now.

I grew up playing King's Quest and Space Quest, and none of his complaints really bothered me. When KQ changed from typed commands to mouse-clicking, I felt it lost a lot of the magic. But that's just taste. What's more interesting is how these early games were just like programming. You had to learn the syntax and vocabulary. "Look under the bridge" didn't work, but "Look under bridge" was okay. Standing on the wrong pixel was a little frustrating (reminds me of being Rosella stuck in the ogre house for weeks), but it's a lot like misplacing a semicolon. Those games taught me the blind spots of the computer brain. Some other commenter somewhere was complaining that today's "learn to program" games are too literal, and I completely agree. The Sierra games were great "learn to program" games.

Exclusive or, being a logical relationship, is allowed in propositional logic. It is traditionally indicated, in mathy areas, by the symbol ⊕, but you can just compose it from the standard and, or, and not operations.

And (proof_of_benefit ⊕ ¬proof_of_benefit) still simplifies to true, unless you're a hardcore constructivist.
