I have often wondered how purveyors of this "type of content" might be using machine learning (classification etc). I think this project gives us a good hint of that. I would also echo the sentiment of others in this post: This co

Have you tried ui-router for angularjs 2? Just curious. Routing and E2E testing are my biggest concerns for transitioning our 1.x app to Angular2 -- and I haven't had time to really dig into either in detail. https://ui-rout

This exact title/link has been posted a number of times (>5) in the past 1-2 months [1]. I'd be interested to know which cognitive bias is at work when the instance of the post today gets 480+ points -- but no instances of this

Yeah, I run new django apps right alongside my php5 code. It does definitely take a bit more "muss and fuss" than php5 to configure (mod_wsgi, etc) but is just as easy. You also need to restart apache or change the wsgi loader fil

Yeah, those are called "regulatory requirements" - they are sort of the backbone in terms of keeping people / consumers / employees safe and sane...

Looks like the ship is currently off the coast of Lebanon. You can watch/follow this ship in semi-real time as long as it's transponder is active/in-range of a receiver (and not being spoofed): http://www.marinetra

That was fast (site going down)... and suspicious perhaps, considering the ship is basically purpose built for SIGINT and being able to find, loiter and muck around with whatever it wants in terms of undersea cables. [0] - http:/&#x2F

Oh for sure - F-35 is a dog and I could have picked a better example, and I would even support your point to the extreme with: http://breakingdefense.com/2016/10/holy-smoke-gm-army-turn-o... They went from rfp =&g

by dfsegoat 10y ago
The article you cite for the PLAN system states that it completed it's 7th test flight. This is not operational. For instance the F-35 only recently became "operationally capable" - but it has been flying since 2006.

This is a systematic review derived from existing work. While the models they use are fairly conservative, it seems like figure 2 is pretty telling. 50% of the variance in their estimates comes from the "Unowned cats" parameter -

I genuinely look forward to tech-specific leadership opinions, but the author lost me with the ham-handed attempt at humor in the opening paragraph. "Don’t worry, leading engineers is just like writing code. Just like apples and orang

Nextdoor right (sic)? That is a pretty astute observation... I could totally see that happening considering how Nextdoor users have their physical addresses verified, etc.

I was more trying to say that - to my knowledge - they had never done this with a fly-by-wire fighter. The QF-4 (previous aerial target system) was all hydraulic / analog systems.

They are still pushing the airframe through 12k hours.

I wouldn't describe it as delicate - these things are meant to make it home after taking multiple direct hits from 23mm+ or a hit from a man-portable AA missile - and they have tested that durability: http://warthognews.blog

You are right for sure. But they have never had a 4th gen (fly by wire / designed to be aerodynamically unstable;) fighter with this capability. In my (potentially uninformed) opinion, It is definitely a big milestone because it opens

Sort of puts our defense spending and progress in perspective when the USAF takes a $21M 4th gen fighter - when most of the world's air forces still have 4th gen fighters in development , mind you - and basically uses it like the chea

Totally with you there. The pricing is nutty and we had similar issues - but that was back on magnetic drive type (we migrated to RDS in 2012) - ever since then we've been too scared to "get off the piops". So just provision

Have a blog / write up which chronicles your experiment? I always wondered if I, or anyone could do this when i first got my ipad.
