Perhaps it'll sell, but were I a buyer I'd be asking what else that Boeing might have skimped on and FAA rubber stamped. We know the plane was built in a rush, and the single-sensor MCAS is an odd choice. It's unlikely MCAS

Okay, so there are a lot of accusations of spyware on Chinese phones. Can someone link concrete evidence of this? I ask this out of genuine curiosity.

Suggestion: actually read the article. It's one of the few high-quality technical articles that pass through HN... if you don't get hung up on the title.

> The demand for this type of congestion control is seemingly driven by top of rack topology used in cloud architecture. That's one heck of a use-case.

Apple must have invested incredible resources on testing that internally, because that was a very risky move, and well outside the norm for filesystem development.

Your argument seems to be that modern time dehumanizes us, along the likes on Kafka or the Luddite movement. And I think it has some merit -- e.g. family structures have become increasingly nuclear in the past century, which is one factor i

So edgy. While everything you point out is true, if I gave you a magic one-way doorway to 1700, you wouldn't take it. Nobody even remotely rational would. Today's depression is very "firstworldproblems" compared to the p

You're right, but in the current timeframe? That's one hell of a stretch. I'll go Bayesian on this one. And so: thanks West!

He should feel proud of vaccines and antibiotics too then, the greatest boon mankind ever had. Very proud indeed. The populations in Africa would be a tiny fraction of what they currently are were it not for Western innovations. Likewise,

If Mattermost is competitive with Slack, that's a serious indictment against Slack. Mattermost's clients are awful. Just awful. The phone apps are effectively unusable (incredibly buggy and suck down battery like no tomorrow), and

The Speex suppressor is subjectively much nicer in all babble scenarios, but in some scenarios the RNN is better. E.g. it really excels at 20db car noise.

I regularly see people make the mistake of believing that being empathetic is effectively being a universally-nice doormat, or that empathy itself is a universal good. Neither is true. So Cantrill's behaviour isn't an indictment o

Counterexample: Go. Also drama, but nothing on node's scale. And Joyent left the node scene almost entirely years ago, so that's not it. Now node.js is a bunch of smaller companies fighting over their piece of the pie. The Joyent

Unrelatedly, have the Julia devs decided to require variable declaration yet? E.g. "local x = 1" instead of just "x = 1"? Or better yet, "x := 1"? How many times does this mistake have to be repeated in various

Heh. Will you eventually ditch Haskell and go self-hosting? In any case, I'm happy to hear Kitten will be usable with DTrace and gdb/lldb, even with some caveats! Too few languages nowadays support dynamic analysis or post-mortem,

For the new compiler, are you sticking with using C as an intermediate language? It seems like not, but if you're planning to support importing C headers... If not, and you're emitting x64 object code, will you support the stack f

If someone makes a claim, the onus is on them to provide compelling evidence to justify that claim. Besides, I have taken a preliminary look; Milo seems to be an outspoken asshole (and thus poisoning the discourse), but not an outright ha
