Why is that suprising? Serving static content is easy
...and yet, very rarely done. That the correct technology for a news site (static content) was done, is the surprising part.
Navigation, ads, etc., maybe, but not the contents itself. Most webpages could be perfectly useful with Javascript completely disabled.
Sadly, many aren't.

The plane landed and didn’t blast enormous holes with ejected compressor blades. That’s a successful failure.
Is that what happenes when The fan blades fly off and hit the airplane?

I've tried to find a non-clustering pseudo-random function. Anybody knows the name or urls of those?
Maybe quasi-random is what you are looking for? https://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/doc/html/qrng.html
Is it possible that airplanes that have been grounded for a long time thanks to the pandemic have not received the care they should have?
The two aircraft did not have the same cause and I think different parts came lose but one of the results were similar. And somewhat close together

Beware of the dangers of preventative maintenance, where sometimes while replacing or inspecting or re-mounting inspected parts, the maintenance crew breaks something that was OK and probably going to be working fine for years. But yeah, a D check is so expensive I've heard there's a habit of dumping the aircraft on less observing flying companies some thousand miles before it comes up...
A minor point, it's not based on miles, but cycles (takeoffs/landings) for structural parts or hours for engines.

I thought it was 'confined' if the containment ring did its job? If it had failed (like not supposed to) it would have been a whole lot worse.

Ugh look up QF-72 for an A380 Rolls-Royce engine containment failure...
Are you sure? That was an A330, and a failure on one ADIRU.
Maybe a system for emergency detaching of the failed engine with a parachute would help aleviate the consequences of flying with a uncontrollably vibrating fireball?
Oof. I would not want to be the bystander whose house an entire engine fell on, even with a parachute haha
Not long ago, an airplane rained down a few parts near Denver. Today an aircraft has a similar thing happen.

Denver is high altitude. And a hub with lots of long range flights. The plane was going to Hawaii. I bet plane was heavy with engines near full power. Most likely time for engine explodey
Pretty nice view of the burning engine from inside the plane, https://twitter.com/JacdecNew/status/1363245241109782528?ref...
