The text-entry box doesn't work. You can click on it and it animates, but there's no cursor and typing does nothing.

Desktop Safari, latest version.

IBM-compatibles. They're still PCs.

I actually bring this up when they ask me again. "Didn't I just enter that?"

Yes, this "statistic" makes no sense. No fucking way was there a net addition of jobs.

Stabilizing on shit is a sad thing to double down on. But Microsoft is doing that at every opportunity now. Witness their offensive, relentless hounding to log in, log in, LOG IN WITH YOUR "MICROSOFT ACCOUNT!!!!!!"... or you can't do anything, including install Windows.

Wrong.

If a pilot can't be expected to maintain the pitch of a plane on takeoff, he has no business flying ANYTHING.

What Boeing did (and is STILL doing) is expect pilots to know or remember obscure NON-PILOTAGE (and in the case of MCAS, BURIED) trivia to prevent disaster.

Now... what's the more-responsible approach? Expect pilots to pilot, or expect them to recall an ever-growing list of workarounds to incompetent system design?

Except, of course, from Boeing's aircraft-software QA... which killed hundreds of people already.

Annoying as shit. If I'm trying to log into something with an E-mail address (already a fail, but that's another topic) and password, and I click "forgot password," don't take me to a form where I have to re-enter the goddamned E-mail address I JUST ENTERED.

It's missing a critical one, which once seemed obvious: Distinguish between static information and controls.

Also, don't HIDE inapplicable controls; GREY THEM OUT. That way people learn

1. They exist 2. Where they reside 3. There's some condition to satisfy before they can be used

Related: Never, never rely on peek-a-boo UI that hides things unless the user accidentally rolls the cursor over them. I'm trying to get shit done, not explore an Advent calendar.

I agree with the importance of consistency, but disagree with "Office and (Neo)Vim aren’t exceptional examples of UI, but they are uniquely stable."

Office is not stable, at least over the long term. The hated "ribbon" marked a sad departure from the "stable" and efficient Word UI, and Microsoft's clueless regressions across the Windows platform have compounded the problem. For example, the deletion of the menu bar from applications. WTF.

The movie was creepy as hell at the time. I saw it on late-night TV as a little kid, and the Terminator-esque ending stuck with me.

The show could have taken it to a new level, and did flirt with doing so. Interesting note: At some point in the show, they go down to some sub-basement or something where old models are stored, and in the background out of focus you can see the Yul Brynner robot standing there.

But the show goes off the rails. After season 1 it's absolute shit that will make you angry for wasting hours of your life giving it a chance. I thought hey this is going to be cool if the robots escape into the real world, but the show utterly squandered that scenario.

It really was a Terminator precursor.

That's what I thought, thanks. As you note, the "solution" is absurd, and insulting and offensive. The older models should be pulled too. WTF.

Not always. And "information" is an aggrandizement of TikTok content.

Facebook doesn't even occur to me anymore, and the only videos I see on Reddit are hosted on YouTube.

Actually, it's the new Max 7: https://www.seattletimes.com/business/boeing-aerospace/boein...

It's not clear if older models suffer from the same defect.

I never used Node and went right to Deno, partly because NPM and packages sounded like a mess. So far it has been a good experience.

There's also the engine-nacelles-melting issue.

Screw TikTok. It's a cesspool of shit, compounded by its idiotic aspect ratio.

Read this: https://www.thebignewsletter.com/p/the-coming-boeing-bailout

One of the tenets of the article is that the breakdown of the once-impermeable wall between civilian and military divisions has resulted in disaster.

I've been thinking the same thing.

Boeing is doubling down on its disgraceful behavior with shit like this: https://www.seattletimes.com/business/boeing-aerospace/boein...

Still a win.

Not to mention that it was a fraud to begin with, trying to skirt pilot-training rules by having (monumentally incompetent) software tweak the controls of a perverted airframe design to make it imitate previous 737s.

If they had done what they needed to do and designed a new plane from scratch, those people wouldn't be dead.

OR if they'd simply acknowledged the changed characteristics of the plane, struck deals with purchasers to subsidize training expenses, and let pilots fly it themselves... those people wouldn't be dead.

Boeing's recent behavior, as reported by this article, warrants further disgust and ought to be featured in the mainstream news.

Remember that Boeing was too stupid to put an odd number of pitot tubes on their planes, so the computer could have determined which airspeed indication was crazy. They put TWO.

Matt Stoller wrote a compelling article asserting that the breakdown at Boeing resulted from the breakdown of the separation between their military and civilian divisions: https://www.thebignewsletter.com/p/the-coming-boeing-bailout

If you think about it, civilian standards must be way higher than military ones; you're talking about millions of people per year who can't bail out of a crashing plane.

I haven't noticed this hostility. Where did you see it?

If it's true, I absolutely think so!

"An" issue? Is it THE SAME issue?

It sure is. Not enough hours in a day or a lifetime, unfortunately.

So... I report the bullshit listings to LinkedIn or whoever; AKA yell at a cloud. Or THE cloud, in fact.

Translation: It's not worth it to write a cover letter or optimize your resumé for a particular job, because you won't make it through the screening process anyway.

I do not understand the point you're trying to make here.
