Saturday Overnight Open Thread (10/5/19)
Jeff Zucker of CNN, Dean Baquet of the New York Times, and Martin Baron of the Washington Post are all killed in a tragic accident at a gathering of leading news executives. They find themselves standing together before shining heavenly gates and a pleasant young man at a desk greets them. “Hello, I am the senior assistant to the admissions committee, and I am here to guide you through the process. Here is your life record which will be the basis upon which you will be evaluated. Please look it over carefully.” He hands each of them an enormous bound stack of hundreds of pages. Baron reacts angrily: “The first pages are nothing but false horrible accusations!”
Baquet and Zucker also complain that their records also open with terrible falsehoods. The young man smiles and says, “No problem.” He takes a fresh stack of paper and an ornate feathered quill pen and writes “Retraction” in large letters on the top of each page, copies and edits each offensive item to a retraction page and then carefully adds the pages to the bottom of each man’s record and rebinds each record with an enormous heavenly stapler. “You can go in and present your life résumés to the committee now.” Dean Baquet objects. “But the false horrible stuff is still on the top pages. No one is going to read down to the bottom where you put the retractions.” “Exactly,” said the assistant. “Best of luck in there.”
Man, always attempting to make camping moar luxurious. Ten different ideas over the years.
Home is where you park it,” one now-famous Instagram influencer Foster Huntington—a former New York designer at Ralph Lauren—titled his Kickstarter campaign when he traded his fast-paced, high-pressure life behind for days on the road in a suped-up Volkswagon camper in 2013. Now, #vanlife on Instagram has racked up nearly 6 million posts of folks chronicling their adventures in conversion vans, retrofitted school buses and other motorhomes.
The thing about eating potato chips is that you can’t eat just one. Unfortunately much of the grease and/or colored flavoring from those yummy snacks remains on your fingers and subsequently wiped on clothes, napkins or any other convenient absorbent material. Steinbert Solutions has addressed this very issue with “Chip Fingers”, very clever protective finger covers to wear while eating messy chips, snacks or other finger foods. The finger covers are made of silicon and are available in four different colors – green, blue, purple and red.
The quirks of border-making. Or the man who went to war with Canada.
The border between Canada and the United States is the longest in the world. It spans 5,525 miles, separating the Yukon from Alaska, Saskatchewan from Montana, Ontario from New York. It hosts its share of difficulties: smuggling, undocumented crossings, the militarized edge that has come to characterize such spaces. But in terms of actual land disputes, things are calm the whole way through—almost. Then you get to the northeast corner. Depending on whom you ask, Machias Seal Island is either off the coast of Maine or of Grand Manan. It’s also either American or Canadian. It is the only place with this particular unsettled identity that you can actually stand on top of. Although the ownership of some stretches of water is still contested, this island—and neighboring North Rock, which is even smaller and barer—are the last crumbs of their land the two countries don’t agree on. Stephen Kelly, a former journalist and diplomat who summers in Jonesport and is a research scholar at Duke University, has been studying this dispute for over a decade. He has built up a sense of its progression, which he says “nicely illustrates a lot of the quirks of border-making.”

A Universal Studios actor who dressed as Gru from the film 'Despicable Me' has been fired after he flashed a hate symbol on a 6-year-old's shoulder.
The second-grader's mother, Tiffany Zinger, said the incident occurred when she and her family attended a character breakfast at a Universal Orlando hotel in March when her children who are biracial took pictures with a "Despicable Me" character.
Zinger, of Colorado, said she spotted the character forming an OK symbol in the photos months later.
The OK sign is used to express white supremacy in extremist circles, according to the Anti-Defamation League.

Ken Levine runs a good blog overall, but every now and then he just has to get nasty and political.
Today he wrote about how disgusted he is that the movie JOKER is doing so well. He made some okay points about how he dislikes disturbing/depressing entertainment, which I can understand.
But then he's also convinced it's going to trigger copycat murderers with guns. He's just salivating about "taking guns away" and also had to throw in "why see it anyway, when the real Joker is in the WH??"
Ken, for the love of God, keep it to yourself.

I don't care if it 'inspires' violence because... it won't. Losers are going to be losers and do violence whether or not they feel validated by watching a loser on the screen.
As for Ken Levine : he is just another snowflake looking for his safe space. Shoo away now Ken, the adults are talking.

The bug is related to conversion calcs among "delay" and various temps, e.g. from usec to sec, etc. It would be SO VERY much easier to read and debug if I could rename "delay" to "delay_usec" and "temp_delay" to "temp_delay_sec," etc. But it's open source, so I don't "own" it, and I am reluctant to be seen as the jerk who checked in a delta of 500+ lines of changes that the ponytails and neckbeards will decry as "unnecessary."
What do you guys do in a situation like this?

Add comments like
// Note: temp_delay is in microseconds
everywhere where it gets confusing to you.
It's just a touch passive aggressive, but fully justified, and if anyone calls you out on it you can say "oh, do you think I should just rename it so it's clear?"

While I agree and subscribe to the Jay Guevara school of thought on this topic, summarized as

20 If CaloriesConsumed>CalorisBurned GOTO 10
30 LoseWeight
Beer is easy calories with side benefits. Hard to resist.

0. Rename the obscurely named vars.
1. Live with it.
2. Comment it.
3. Discuss it in the forum.
4. Obscure it further.
I'll probably do number 1. My last job before retiring, I had the luxury of being the one and only surviving programmer, and I owned everything (including the many defects and related field failures,) so I linted and renamed and refactored the living shit out of the whole code base. Found and got rid of a lot of problems that way, and made subsequent maint a whole lot easier. But I guess I can't do that on open source, because somebody will hate it and revert it.

weapons and other goods.

QUITO, Ecuador (AP) - It's a real ice cream flavor: guinea pig.
Anyone who thinks of guinea pigs as pets - cute, squishy, squeaking bundles of fur - might find that idea hard to digest.
The rodents are a traditional hot dish in some Latin American countries, including Colombia, Peru and Bolivia. In Ecuador, people typically cook guinea pigs with salt and serve them with potatoes and peanut sauce. But one vendor is taking things to another gastronomic level, serving guinea pigs as a cold dessert.
Some people like ice cream made from "cuy," as the animal is locally known.
"I was suspicious, but it was tasty," said Marlene Franco, a 78-year-old retiree who tried a scoop at a stall next to a highway linking the Ecuadorian capital of Quito to the city of Sangolqui.

6.5 a brilliant failure. I'm not sure why the SJW crowd are protesting this, Joker is basically an Antifa progtard hero
MINOR SPOILERS:
This is not a funny movie, it is not a black comedy. It's a brilliant film so desperately wanting to succeed that it is wooing the audience in every perfect shot. It seems to crave an award with such anguish that it fails to deliver an entertaining narrative. I have no regrets seeing this. But this is not Joker. This is a mentally deficient moron without a sense of humor that is crying out for help. There are SOME genuinely funny scenes that succeed. But they are few and far between. Recommended for film fans based on it's technical excellence.

After watching it a couple more times, might be able to lay to rest the rumor of bad fuel knocking out all engines which also undercuts the overweight idea.
Opening of the video when the camera is aimed at the scorched deicer fluid tank. To the left of the partially ejected top turret is one of the planes other three R-1820s. Notice how the one visible prop blade is bent back as if it impacted the ground while still running.
Later when we see the NTSB people do a walk that follows marks on the tarmac, look at those marks. They curve and thus taking the B-17 off the runway and into the building.
Question becomes what would cause such? Could it be bad brakes? Or perhaps landing short on the grass might have jarred the right main gear to collapse.
Still don't know why the plane landed short of the threshold.

J. Brennan has indeed been subpoenaed by the GJ headed by USA J. Durham to provide testimony as related to the investigation by the GJ appointed to investigate the interference in the 2016 election - and J. Brennan has agreed to provide such an "interview", as he described it, subject to representation by council. Such an "interview" shall be considered legal testimony or otherwise a legal deposition for the investigative purposes of the DOJ. This comes from an informed source from within the DOJ who I have just spoken with tonight.
Lastly, Brennan's testimony and the applicable subpoena will not be made public at this time due to the nature of the GJ convened for this investigative purpose.

"Interview", by the way, according to this AUSA, is just a target's euphemism for "subpoenaed" deposition, and if he is indeed the last in this process, it means he is indeed the target of a GJ.

Only to confront a table displaying a wide array of tools, suitable to what can only be called, The Inquisitor's Art.
The solid oaken chair he's to be seated in should have heavy leather straps and buckles for the wrists and ankles, and a floor drain should exist directly under the chair.
Who knows, perhaps such a in initial display at the introductory phases of the interview might prove to be compelling as to the subsequent flow of testimony?
Or, the flow of bodily fluids.
Don't much care either way. His choice.

The FHCAM is about to start flight testing of Me 262A-1a/U3 Werke #500453 using Jumo 004B engines rebuilt with modern compressor blades and such.
https://modelpaintsol.com/news/restored-me-262-flight-test-pictures
But before swooning over things like the fabric dope over seams; FE-4012, whom its pilot Roy Brown called Connie the Sharp Article, was bailed out to Hughes Aircraft in May 1946 for a comprehensive rebuild. At this time it also gained the fighter nose of Me 262A-1a Yellow 7 which is now on display at NASM. Yellow 7 in exchange received 4012's photo-recon nose before being donated to the Smithsonian.
4012 was used in tests against the Lockheed P-80 Shooting Star, in most ways the Schwable was superior to the P-80.
When it was decided to restore Yellow 7, 4012 was in the hands of Ed Maloney and thus the only civilian owned Me 262. Ed was unwilling to part with the nose of his jet but did donate Yellow 7's original forged gun mounts so the Smithsonian could bring their plane back to its original fighter configuration.

Good suggestion -- but as I'm weak, lazy and frugal, it's probably not a good fit.
As for the EZ Pass, I work where Interstates 87 and 88 don't quite intersect. As a result, there's a section of I-90 that's a toll-free connecter. Sometimes I take that exit, fill up on cheap gas at the truck stop, and proceed home knowing that I gamed the system.

Back in my day, just punched a whole lot of Fortran cards and tried to slip them into the correct locations. Nobody gave a rip if I slotted proprietary cards in my own card deck.

Is it me or has college football taken the lead in games lastly nearly 3 1/2 hours. Holy Christ, tried to watch the Florida / Auburn game and it went on and on and on... to the point of never mind I'll go watch paint dry...
Guess I'll start watching high school football again since the Felon league still hates me and college games lasting what seems like hours...

A Universal Studios actor who dressed as Gru from the film 'Despicable Me' has been fired after he flashed a hate symbol on a 6-year-old's shoulder.
The second-grader's mother, Tiffany Zinger, said the incident occurred when she and her family attended a character breakfast at a Universal Orlando hotel in March when her children who are biracial took pictures with a "Despicable Me" character.
Zinger, of Colorado, said she spotted the character forming an OK symbol in the photos months later.
The OK sign is used to express white supremacy in extremist circles, according to the Anti-Defamation League.

That seems to be a selling point of the "memory foam" type. A Serta Icomfort mattress seemed cooling, as did the Purple, which is a honeycomb of latex that's supposed to cool. I get night-sweats too, so searching for the "gel top" feature is high on the list...

The dumbest idea in history is taking a kid who speaks (say) Hmong and putting him in a "bilingual education" class taught by someone who speaks (say) Spanish.
Yep, that's really going to help. Just brilliant.

NAH Billdo has never been a "Republican" it's Just that Progtard Party has always been Anti-Israel so he had to embrace the Republican Party. but the only "Republican" thing he believed in was the defense of Israel. Everything else he was a Bigtime Democrat
