The next step after thermal paste is solder flux, and that leads to EE. No wonder parents are concerned.Before you know it they're hiding solder paste in the back of the fridge and using the family toaster oven for PCB reflow. If you find empty SMD tape in the trash, a DMM under their bed, or find subversive books like Horowitz & Hill in their backpack, have a talk with them about the dangers of EE before it's too late.

Chan says there are three main reasons why it would be necessary to dump fuel.
- The plane is too heavy for the brakes to stop it in time –”If the plane is heavier with more fuel on board, the brakes may not be sufficient to stop the aircraft before the end of the runway.”
- Structural reasons – “A heavier airplane could cause unnecessary damage to the aircraft upon landing.”
- Following missed approach procedure – “If we have to go around with a full tank of gas, will the plane be able to climb over obstacles? > It doesn’t help if the reason for returning to land is, for example, due to an engine failure, which means that on top of the weight issue we’re also running on reduced power.”
The first is true if the runway is shortish, but KLAX has 12,091 ft long runway, which should be enough for a B772 at MTOW.
The second, well, the aircraft is required to be able to make an emergency landing at MTOW, and since engine failure calls for landing ASAP, that's what they should do. It's true it will burn the brakes and destroy tires in the process.
The third is clearly false. The aircraft is able to climb out if the engine fails above V1, so it is able to climb out if it aborts the landing as well.
Anyway,
The crew did not request fuel dump.
Since it is never really necessary to do, they have to request it if they want to do it even in emergency. And
The crew subsequently advised they had brought the engine back under control, [...]
So they could have asked to make a few circles over the sea to dump fuel. But they didn't.

Actix project postmortem
Another day, another "unsafe shitstorm”, I guess I get used to it.
It is interesting how easy to move comment out of context and how hard to comment with very clear intention (especially if you are not native speaker) What was the patch? It was very strait forward, simple, uncreative change, intention was just to remove unsafe not to fix existing code. I believe software development is one of the most creative work we do, and creativity is part of why we love software development, why it is fun. Especially if you combine it with real world projects constraints. “creative constrains” could be source of very interesting solutions. Being on the edge of your abilities is super fun. So uncreative change felt boring (oh! And author gave up copyright claims for that patch (a bit irony and sarcasm)). I’ve never used unsafe unintentionally, I use it because I believe usage is safe. There was no any malicious intentions. I believed it held mutable aliasing invariant and I was very happy that someone found real problem. I wanted to solve the problem, just with a bit of creativity. And use RefCell solution only if it would be not possible to solve it with any other way. Btw, I like the solution I found, it is in master and solves the problem at least one from the issue. If you want to push boundaries you have to touch this boundaries and sometimes you push too hard.
Be a maintainer of large open source project is not a fun task. You alway face with rude and hate, everyone knows better how to build software, nobody wants to do home work and read docs and think a bit and very few provide any help. Seems everyone believes there is large team behind actix with unlimited time and budget. (Btw thanks to everyone who provided prs and other help!) For example, async/await took three weeks 12 hours/day work stint, quite exhausting, and what happened after release, I started to receive complaints that docs are not updated and i have to go fix my shit. Encouraging. You could notice after each unsafe shitstorm, i started to spend less and less time with the community. You felt betrayed after you put so much effort and then to hear all this shit comments, even if you understand that that is usual internet behavior. Anyway, removing issue was a stupid idea. But I was pissed off with last two personal comments, especially while sitting and thinking how to solve the problem. I am sorry for doing that.
It’s been three years since I started actix project (time flies). I learnt a lot, i meet new people, I found language that I really like and want to use it fulltime, I found fun job. But damage to the project's reputation is done and I don’t think it is possible to recover. Actix always will be “shit full of UB” and “benchmark cheater”. (Btw, with tfb benchmark I just wanted to push rust to the limits, I wanted it to be on the top, I didn’t want to push other rust frameworks down.) Everything started with actix, then actix-web and then actix-net. It took a lot of time to design api and architecture. Each of this projects was rewritten from scratch at least 4-5 time. I hope I expanded some boundaries and found few new patterns, I hope other developers will check source code and find inspiration to move even further. Nowadays supporting actix project is not fun, and be part of rust community is not fun as well.
I am done with open source.

I think it has been moved and made private for the moment, but it is quite possible it will indeed be obliterated. Why wouldn't that be possible? It's their data.
The revisions will still exist in any forks and clones.

What I mean is, other people's forks would still exist and point to the (apparently) disappeared one, right?
I guess "moving" it automagically fixed everyone else's fork somehow?Fucking Git is so confusing...

That's what I'm saying. So far as I can see, all the other forks etc are just of the "Sorry guys, fuck you later" Readme.md document.

29 people wanted this on their own accounts I guess. I'm waiting for someone to put in pull requests.

And yes, the forks really contain the new content, not the old content. But they were also created after the swap of the original, if GitHub is to be trusted in this matter, so they really seem to have cloned just the readme.

@Bulb Since "everyone knows better how to build software", there's one or two things I'd like to point out.
I believe software development is one of the most creative work we do
Software engineering is a branch of advanced mathematics. To afford creativity you have to learn the numbers. Unfortunately a bunch of toothpick counters that cannot actually put two and two together worth shit keep writing creative code.
async/await took three weeks 12 hours/day work stint, quite exhausting
You void all rights to complain that it hurts when you willingly throw yourself against the ground.
after release, I started to receive complaints that docs are not updated
Not documenting changes is a major problem in the industry. Release when fully documented only.

Another open sores used to be starry-eyed now-crybaby who couldn't handle the immense responsibility, the stress and the unfairness. Fun? Creative? Yes, that's how it all starts and that's what it's never going to remain. And if that wasn't clear from the beginning, tough shit, Rembrandt.
If you want to push boundaries you have to touch this boundaries and sometimes you push too hard.
Yes, and this is exactly what happened, you poetic fuck. With you. Unfortunately it will not be easy to patch around now.
I am done with open source.
Good. Now go and find that any other way is not so different. People and problems are largely the same everywhere.

Well...
But you can rewrite history in git. If you feel like it you can remove every single commit there is and push to origin.
when people downstream update they'll get conflicts, but they can very well get their repos nuked as well.

Yes, it was. Deleting all the issues was kinda the point.
But the strange thing is all the forks. Did random people start cloning the repository just for

They wanted to get the original code before it got nuked and didn’t realize there was nothing in there to fork anymore.

Or at least convinced Github that he's gone off the deep end. They seem to have restored the repo back to its former state, issues and all.
-
@JBert No. He reinstated the repository himself (it has all the issues back) and wrote an issue saying he is passing the project leadership to somebody else.
