Reported an obvious sexual ad the other day and got a very AI generated response that started with "Dear Username" stating that they reviewed the ad and found nothing wrong with it.

I believe I went to high school with the author, so this took me down memory lane. I wrote an FTP client back in 1999 using only the Win32 API and C. Good times.

Yeah, I believe the RAT is automatically deployed when both engines fail or when there's a critical loss of pressure in the hydraulic systems.

There's a better, longer video on Reddit. At the beginning of the video, it sounds like the Ram Air Turbine (RAT) is deployed, which would suggest a dual engine failure.

I believe this is the first hull loss of a Boeing 787.

Great --now it’s going to use even more memory.

I jokingly mentioned something like that to my wife when Trump was elected. Now, given the current circumstances, I may not get another chance to visit the US. Still, I’m grateful for the time I spent in California, the people I met, and all the beautiful roads I had the chance to explore.

In 2021 the company received €200 million from the Croatian government and the EU to develop a self-driving car, presumably to compete with US companies. However, they ended up using Mobileye technology. The initial goal was to have the cars on the road by 2024, which everyone knew was unrealistic. Now, the launch is supposedly targeted for 2026 but that's probably unrealistic as well.

During the presentation, they attempted to summon the car twice, but it failed to move. A photo from the event shows an employee holding what appears to be an industrial-grade remote controller.

You don't achieve fault tolerance solely by using Erlang. Erlang does not inherently 'achieve fault tolerance.' Instead, you make your system fault-tolerant through deliberate engineering. While Erlang provides tools and design guidelines, the responsibility for achieving fault tolerance ultimately lies with you. Source: I implemented and operated a large Erlang system for approximately 3 years.

I would argue that a lot of public APIs are a mess. We used to joke that instead of firing the bottom 10%, Google just reallocates them to the Android team.

Reread Dune Dune Messiah and Children of Dune.

Highly recommended.

This guy sounds like a textbook example of CV driven developer.

I've delivered large amount of value to business with boring technologies like Java, Django and made good money in the process. Sometimes all the client needs is a simple CRUD app. Coincidentally, I turned 40 this year.
