No, you need certification to be able to fly eact plane type, which equal to 6 months retraining. For this incident Boeing "forgot" to tell companies do not do what you usually do, as it doing what you do actually worsen the situation. Boeing released emergency notice after that incident, and data from black box showed that the pilot is doing precisely what they are used to do.

Plane it self is legal to fly at that time.

> do not do what you usually do, as it [...] worsen the situation

This sounds like the worst UI evolution. Could they not have come up with something that's more natural? I don't know anything about controls and procedures for commercial aircraft, but it is so complex that nothing is natural? Like listening to Formula1 team radio where the engineer tells the driver to set some cryptic mode in the steering wheel menu.

I wonder how much of a competitive advantage it would be to make easier/safer to fly commercial aircraft. It would be sad to hear that these are the results of great effort of that goal.

But isn't moving "STAB TRIM" to CUT OUT a memory item even in the 737 NG in the case of a trim runaway?

Yes. The newfangled plane had a new way for trim runaway to occur, but the action to take in the event of trim runaway shouldn't be (AFAICT) any different. They managed it on the previous flight.

Cheap Casio has better accuracy than any mechanical watches.

This is not actually true anymore, but it might have been true a few years ago.

80k is the average at that era like current era is averaged at 80. So if you extrapolate it is around 100k.

Google Wave? Seriously at this point I don't understand what is their strategy. Do something and scrap it after 6 months?

Google is very good in marketing. For example go.

Why do people say this? What marketing has Google ever done for Go?

Sponsoring Go introduction workshops for university undergrads, complete with Google-swag prizes and actual Google employees flown in from another country.

So, quite a lot if that experience is anything to go by.

I will say that my professor Axel Schreiner at RIT offered one of the two first Golang classes at a collegiate level back in... 2009? and he reached out to Google and said, "send us some Android phones so that we can develop Go on ARM"

They obliged with a full crate of first generation Motorola phones, each one preloaded with a 30 day free Verizon plan. Every person who took that class got one, and surely all of them made it back into the school's hands at the end of the quarter.

(I'm not sure how many people actually ever compiled and executed any go binaries on arm that year; we all learned Go, and it was a great class! But as far as the class, the phones were completely unnecessary. I think that they did make a more relevant class where the phones were able to be used again the year after that.)

Its branding and companies using the language with hopes of being acquired by them is already good enough.

Had Go been released at AT&T and it would have shared the same fate as Limbo.

> companies using the language with hopes of being acquired by them

This is beyond belief. What companies are using Go with the hopes of being acquired by Google? Does anyone honestly believe that Google's acquisitions teams know or care about programming languages? Any business that acquires companies on that basis is doomed to failure, as is any company that hopes to be acquired on that basis.

Well if one doesn't like something, they have to come up with part hilarious and part wild assertions like this.

as what ?

The idea here is if it worked its marketing but if it doesn't its market that has spoken.

Making it the first Google result for "go"? (Instead of the verb, or the game)

When I search "go" on google the first result I get is a package courier, then the game, then the verb... then comes Golang though.

Go has been a success as well because of that marketing machine.

What a lovely coincidence.

It's better than Edlin. That was my first text editor.

My first editor was a keypunch.

I don't remember keypunches being very amenable to editing in any sense of the word. That was a long time ago though.

Unfortunately it's not very good. Sometimes it works, sometimes there's regression. Acid2 is still broken sometimes.

you get creative, passing map, passing Option. it's very trivial to do.

RLS works just fine on my Linux box, error detection and completion and formatting. Debugging is so so, not very good. But on my Mac box, it's always crashing.

For me it's a) crashing quite often on Windows and Linux and b) doesn't really autocomplete anything beyond really simple cases where I don't need it like "Vec::<String>::" will give me new. But on most things it's just really awful.

Error detection, at least in VSCode is only displayed after compiling, that might be the plugin though.

I have to make a correction, the Rust (rls) plugin now works much better. I updated my rust distribution.
