Agreed. The content is not what I was expecting to read.

I’m sure that immortality was meant to be immorality, but the idea of British law prohibiting some Faustian bargain struck with eternal life on the line if the wager works in your favor gave me a good chuckle.

That’s not a comparison to another person. That’s his job title. It is not uncommon for universities to have distinguished chairs within departments named after a notable person—in this case, the founder of NYU’s Department of Computer Science.

Solidarity.

I assume the Android logo?

It’s never too late to start. ;)

Had the same thought. I don’t show up on this leaderboard, but I’m #42 on the “more complete” leaderboard. I’m #8 when sorting by max in a single comment—which makes even me think I may have overdone it. Finally—HN top 50 and top 10 in something I love!

The expansion slot icon looks like a hamburger menu—so I’d expect it to let me customize macOS menus. Pretty bad.

Yeah. I was there and this demo was a jolt. More so was the phrasing we were witnessing the end of our punchcard era. I don’t know if it’s the history nerd in me or what, but that thought has been living in my head ever since. Looking forward to playing with Phoenix.new—and keeping an eye out for looms to smash. Kudos, Chris.

Heh. This would have been just a bit more fun if you’d used it correctly—without the surrounding spaces.

Always.

My bad. The article makes that clear behind a paywall. I could only read the first two paragraphs before I asked the question. Luckily the archive link shared had the full text and I was able to read the full incident description. Thank you!

My apologies for asking the question when I could only read the first two paragraphs due to paywall. The archive link shared cleared up my concern, and makes it clear that it was human error during a weather-related re-approach. Thanks, though!

Is this another in the string of 737 MAX issues? Or would other aircraft have experienced the same event under the same conditions?

Edit: Aplogies for asking about content that was obvious, but behind a paywall. Thanks to the archive link shared, it sounds like it was (inexperienced) human error.
