Yeah, from the report: > At 05:40:35, the First-Officer called out “stab trim cut-out” two times. Captain agreed and First Officer confirmed stab trim cut-out. [...] > At 05:41:46, the Captain asked the First-Officer if the trim is fu

I'm not sure that thorough and precise implies they would seek to leave out things. In fact, one would expect the opposite.

Just saw this after I commented, but I think the chances of that are quite high. I would imagine pilot error is somewhat less likely since so much attention was drawn to MCAS after the Lion Air flight.

It seems like there's a never ending barrage of 'news' around this. All of this is speculation at this point though. Investigation takes time, which is almost unusual in a time of minute by minute updates on absolutely everyt

Yeah, I'm a much bigger proponent of a negative income tax, mainly because it doesn't disincentivize work as much as just giving everyone the same amount of money.

As you say, most of the speculation seems to focus on MCAS in combination with faulty sensor data. While, as a layman, pilots being unfamiliar with MCAS seems like a reasonable explanation, doesn't this theory still require 2 planes in

Will this work also help other alternative implementations like pycket [1]? As a layman it seems like making things more maintainable and less tied to C would help, but I'm curious if someone has more insights. [1] https://g

Thanks I will check out those examples! Again, this looks really cool. I just started playing a bit with Racket, so this is nice to dive into.

Syndicate seems very cool! Do you know if it's used by anyone or is it more of a research project at this stage? Am I right that the pattern seems very similar to re-frame [0] in Clojurescript? It seems like it might be an excellent wa

Ah interesting, thanks for clarifying. I'm way out of my depth here, but this could become possible if a future version of wasm provided the option to dynamically load code? After some googling, that's what this [1] seems to be ta

I wonder if eventually with some of the stuff like GC in place, you could write a javascript JIT on top of wasm. I'm only half kidding. It would be pretty neat if wasm became a kind of universal IR that different (AOT and JIT) compiler

Not sure why you're getting down voted. Perhaps because people find the tone too snarky. You're right though. It's a mistake I see all the time here (and it secretly bugs me haha). Disclaimer in this case would mean: "I

I wonder if there could be any opportunity to integrate this more with Spec. There seems to be at least some overlap between Typed Clojure and Spec. I could imagine that it would be cool if you could annotate your functions using one way an

I think it's the classical meaning to distinguish it from Datascript, which is in-memory. This is sqlite as a storage back end I think. I wonder if it also supports the recursive parts of datalog.

Yeah, I'm struggling to think how far back we need to go before Obama to find another president under whose watch countries destabilized and blood was shed. Oh wait, what about the president right before that.

I don't think anybody is missing that story. One of the reasons China has been very reluctant to commit to an actual peace process is the fear of American troops at its border after a reunification (oh South Korean terms).

by hencq 8y ago
Perhaps. On the other hand, China watched the events in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union with great interest and adapted in a way that kept the Communist Party in power. Kim might see that as a model instead.

Yep, sociotechnical theory uses the same insight to design work so that people have complex tasks in simple organizations. Unfortunately most companies insist on doing the opposite and they create complex organizations with simple tasks.

The pickle is a regional thing. In Rotterdam we eat them just with onion. I was surprised to discover about the pickles when I got one in Amsterdam.
