Early returns are good because they also save a lot of indentation.

Is this why third world state airlines seem to be first in line to test the new models (Ethiopia etc). They get an extra good deal on them. Makes me sick really, that this is the world we are in.

I wonder what would be unearthed should they also choose to look at Boeing's other planes in such similar scrutiny.

The car industry is not as advanced as the aviation industry. It will come a time, where the level of complexity of a car means that in order to build and test it properly, it will be a ever-increasing easy business decision to take shortcu

Yes but what about petrol (elec) stations? When will we see a similar surge of charging points that make it practical? Can have all the cars in the world, but unless some serious investment is made in the infrastructure, its a bit premature

Yes. This is what we want. Touch controls that involve the sensation of touch! :)

I agree with what your saying. As they optimise more and more, they "fly closer to the sun". That would be ok as long as the models/sim tools were accurate, but as you say they are not so much, which means there is not as muc

Sounds to me like the main failure here is that Boeing went too far with optimising cost, in the sense that MCAS was not properly designed. I'm certain correctly designed software can safely control critical functions, otherwise fail

I'm not a fan of this essay type thing being on twitter, split into lots of little tweets.

"...high CO2 concentrations in the helmet can be really dangerous to an unconscious person's brain function" Yes but no helmet is even worse for an unconscious person's brain function :)

Is that not code, for me?

It would have been cool to have screenshots on the front page. It gives so much more sense as to what the thing on github actually is, because I didn't understand it (without further time) from just the github.

Given that the money is a fiat system, without the backing of actual gold, this money effectively goes back into "the ether".

Wow, so much marketing voodoo for a text terminal!

I'm not disagreeing with you but that does not take away from its importance. There are lots of crappy important things :)

I watch his live CEOing youtube occasionally. Is quite interesting, but at some point I feel like I am stuck in a work meeting, with no real objections (understandably) being posed to Wolframs proposals. I also think the word computation is

This is kinda like what they did in the graphics API world. Moving from OpenGL to Khronos in order to "cut the fat" between the user program and the hardware.

Agree with all you say. the people who have a "higher multiplier" indirectly enact value rather than directly "at the coal face". It takes a certain kind of person, to be able to extract self value from seeing others dir

This is probably a very efficient mentality, but I find it equally depressing.

Agree there are, but that's why you can usually spot the ones who aren't, quite readily.

To get contracts as a contractor, you need to differentiate yourself from the market as best as possible. One way is to try and get some sort of security cleared job. Once you do, you immediately elevate yourself away "from the crowd&q

be warned: the government does not like it if you are an employee and then go directly into contracting for said same company. you become an "employee under guise" and then you will be taxed as such. then you get the worst of both

I got fed up of ImGUI when I wanted to route events to my application instead of the GUI. Its good "out the box" ut when you need to get down and dirty to customise, it can be awkward. Nowadays I do a hybrid approach, so I have us

It seems by focusing on 2D and not 3D applications, Matrox have successfully "dodged a bullet", in terms of the competition out there for 3D. Good move.

It is very cool tech and will be very useful in parking the new range rover in the supermarket car park.

Yep, I agree with you. There are "bigger picture" problems for us here.

The website says "free forever". This reminds me of other software package that was "free forever" but then became popular and lost its "free forever" title. (I forget the name) How will this not happen here? I
