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.

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

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 forwa

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 y

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, t

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 s

I always find myself sitting down to read Out of the Tar Pit [0] at least a couple times per year. It has been—and continues to be—one of the most seminal texts in my career. I still remember the first time I read the following passage on

And in the Uber Eats app, it’s Account > Communication to disable all the annoying notifications.

I may be misunderstanding your description, but isn’t this how macOS built-in spaces already work? I use this daily, and swap desktops with ctrl+left/right and the ctrl+num keyboard shortcut to get direct space switching (I have 4 for
