No, it's not. The true cost of IFEs is hidden by other subsystems in the airplane that the IFEs run on, including the fully isolated power they use which costs a hell of a lot more than 1500 per passenger. IFEs are not safety critical, unlike all of the systems that keep those in seat units running including the engine generator hook up and the miles of wiring.

Compared to a transceiver which is a high power EM radiator hooked up to main power, IFEs are a regulatory and design afterthought made cheap by the expense put into all of the other parts.
This seems to be a theory based on the assumption that the person(s) are already having more than their base needs met: (decent housing, food, entertainment, retirement). Salary is one hell of a motivator if you're struggling to meet these things. It's all good and academic but antithetical to why a good portion of people obtain higher education.
That plus the ease of spoilers that people toss around online, under the assumption that anybody who was going to watch a show is caught up by now.

Good luck watching A Game of Thrones 5 years behind everyone else without hearing who dies.

I haven't kept up with it, but I heard allll about a particular Stark last season (details omitted on the off chance that someone else hasn't). Even from newspapers and congresspeople on that one, IIRC.
The answers to this are condescending and terrible.
Ubuntu actually does make it hard to find files. Is it in /usr/bin? /usr/local/bin? /bin? /sbin? /etc/bin? /opt? /god-knows-what-directory?

Honestly, on linux, there should be /usr/local/bin, which is never touched by system management, for source installations, /sbin for emergency recovery tools, and /usr/bin for EVERYTHING ELSE. This is pretty much the only thing that fdo got right.

From a front end development, there is actually a simple reason they are going away: Users looking for something will eventually find it anyway. But for people hitting the website for the first time, it is easier to guide them right to the call to action. It's easy for UX people to complain about finding things, but for a lot of sites it is pretty effective at reducing bounce rate.
I stopped reading at the first comparison line "Docker has lower memory footprint, because of forcing to run only single process per container" which is patently false. Also boycott? what about don't use it if you don't like it?

I imagine Apple provided a superior experience since they manage the App development frameworks on Mac / iOS. The flop must have been inventory. A lot of advertisers are now turning to exchanges (DoubleClick, AppNexus, OpenX...) for inventory whereas Apple forced you to use iAd Workbench [0].

I think the concept of being left behind culturally is an interesting one, and may have increasing negative effects in people's lives.

> not to develop the best editor in the world.

The problem is that "best" is subjective. I think one could more accurately say that they're trying to develop an editor that is easily extensible with technologies familiar to many developers.

i.e. your perception of what they want Atom to be and the reality of what they want Atom to be are probably not the same.

My take? Revisit this in five years. I bet it'll be one of the richest ecosystems in software development. As one who has written Atom plugins (live unit testing w/ real-time feedback), I've never encountered such a developer experience until Atom.

I expect and tolerate a certain level of lawbreaking from teens and pre-"settling down" young adults.

Categorically, I put piracy somewhere among underage drinking, using soft drugs, and irresponsible vehicle operation. The pettiest of petty crime. Do those boggle your mind too?

I don't expect anyone to inherently respect IP law in the portions of their life where they're broke. Unless someone close to them makes money off of copywritten material.
Funny you mention that. I am thinking about switching. Vsc is much more performant built on electron which was what github developed to write atom.

So microsoft did a great job. Issue is that there is a much smaller community, less plugins and I have mac so no other ms synergy for me.

But I'd say that ideologically, ruby is far closer to awk than perl is. And yeah, matchsticks would have been better. I do actually LIKE awk, and will defend it from anybody who says that it is useless or badly designed.

This is your father's awk. An elegant weapon for a more... civilized age. :-)
Granted, though I think the difference is even more pronounced when the primary purpose of the physical object is to be appreciated visually. Not to detract from the visual appeal of record sleeves, but the primary goal is to house the album.

I would also argue that sound can be reproduced digitally in a way that closely resembles the analog equivalent, but the same is not true of displaying art on screens vs on actual paper/canvas (despite the impressive efforts in the linked post).
In the context of hosting/cloud network what would probably be load balancer / reverse proxy which has the most state/sessions. And incidentally, LBs are probably the piece of dedicated network iron most ripe to be replaced with a bunch of commodity servers and some software.

Regardless, statefulness is bad of course, and less of it you have, the better you are off - we've seen this time and again: share nothing arch[1], Amdahl's law[2], locks-vs-RCU[3], memorizing tcp flows-vs-IP header hash[4,5], etc... Being able to make decision on current packet/memory access here and now, independently, without having to keep track of other flows/connections/sessions/threads beats alternative approaches every time [6].

It is not my understanding that SSH will attempt to use only the file identified by IdentityFile, and yes, that is surprising now isn't it. If the server does not cooperate with you, your proposed configuration will give the server all of the keys.

What I'm worried about: The protocol is proprietary, not a public API and all official clients can be updated by Facebook almost instantly. This means they can make arbitrary changes to the protocol at any time without bothering the users of official clients very much.

This library would have to keep up with all the changes or clients would quickly stop working. So is the manpower there to do this?

Emotional experience does NOT trump usability. Period.
IMHO Apple's user interfaces have been getting less intuitive and more buggy with every release. I actually had to use Google to figure out how to disable shuffle on my iPhone.

Another annoyance with iTunes is that they removed the border. If it's placed over a white background, you can't tell where the iTunes window ends. Minimalism done right can be a beautiful thing. When it's done wrong (it's very difficult to get right), it's a disaster.
Well the rest of the language is indentation-based and lacks closing delimiters so it would be inconsistent for the embedded markup to have closing delimiters.

I didn't read the books, so all my knowledge is from the movies. I am probably not alone in this regards.

And I am married to a children's librarian who has read them all, so I've already heard the criticism, to which I answer I don't read much fiction, but I enjoy watching it. I like to condense my make-believe.

That aside, I think if you hadn't read the books, you might consider it more convincing since you weren't expecting it; which I didn't, and in retrospect the build up was pretty good given how Harry starts getting tired of hearing people put those two lines together and started finishing it himself to move past that part of the dialog.

Meh, I'd see the trend to grey-on-grey, white-on-lightgrey etc. as the bigger problem. Yes, might look Apple-ish, trendy or whatever, but the vast majority of computer users:

a) don't have perfect eyesight

b) work in rooms with inadequate lighthing (e.g. sunlight from behind, making subtle contrasts basically vanish)

c) surf on mobile which most often is equivalent to b), with the addition that the device is shaking relative to the eyes, making the text even harder to read.

Buddhism has by far the lowest score of violence of all five big religions of the world. Not to mention that when that violence did happen [...] it has been condemned as explicitly not-buddhist by the wider Buddhist world (for violence has no place in the Buddha's thought)

I want to address this comment because it's a key objection from Buddhist Apologists.

Every small religion is going to score low on the "violence meter." That's because Buddhism wasn't politically successful. China went Communist and took over Tibet, and Buddhism lost in India.

And for those that condemn violent actions - OF COURSE! Everyone does that! Muslims overwhelmingly condemn ISIS, American Christians condemn wars and domestic terror, and many Jews condemn Israel's military behavior.

Many of the popular religions can be interpreted to be peaceful or violent. Blame the people, not the religion.

That's often a lot harder to do than it sounds. Engineers don't feel this pain as much, but marketing and sales both see explosive increases in complexity at scale. If you've never managed a direct sales team before or worked for a long time on a well-managed direct sales team, you're probably not going to be any good at managing one yourself. It's hard.

That programs and libraries get installed in a consistent place is nice in some ways I guess, but for me it's always been terrible, since it's more often than not really hard to install multiple versions of the same program or library (and therefore two programs using different versions of the same library. The hairier programs can't even be built from sources on "the wrong OS version" by most mortals, not to mention installing binaries; try building KDevelop 3 on an OS where only KDevelop 4 is made available by default.)

Another maddening thing is how Linux distributions can't agree on where any bloody thing is - even env, which in large part serves a workaround for the inability to count on absolute paths, is at /usr/bin/env on some distros and /bin/env on other distros. So is something as basic as tcsh. How to write a portable tcsh script in these conditions I don't know. (And "you should use bash" misses the point, and also brings fond memories of #!/bin/sh script breakage when it turned out that sh is bash on some systems but dash on others.)

Bill Gates said in the 80s that there are many different Unixes and this will remain a problem for a long while. Damn, did that man make a good prediction! As to Linux - Richard Stallman said that it's a kernel, not an operating system. Damn, did the various distributions go out of their way to prove him right, creating many different, not Unixes, but Linuxes!

Linphone was the last client I had working before I gave up totally. Though it would often hang when trying to make a call, it worked well enough for 3 months or so. I started having to compile the builds from git and eventually it got to the point where the app was hanging every time I made a call and I'd have to kill -9 it. It's probably been 3 years or so since I tried it. Similar experiences were had with twinkle and a couple of other clients before I found Linphone.
If you are running on battery power, the demands of Atom over something like BBEdit is a pretty big deal.
Ask HN: Would you hire a jack of all trades?
I'm looking for advice from the HN community.

I know a little about everything, tried lots of different things (non-technical roles), but I've never managed to find an area to pursue. This is not because of laziness or an inability to focus, thinking that the grass is greener on the other side etc. It is just something that has happened over time.

As such, I've become a jack of all trades and I'm almost entirely self-taught. I can code, design, write, do research etc. But not enough to be hired into any of those positions.

Although there are advantages to being a jack of all trades, I'm more concerned with not being able to find an area to focus on. I would love to just delve in and become "obsessed" with a subject matter. It has come to a point that when people ask me what I do for a living, I don't know what to say. I don't really have a job title.

Some people have a calling in life, others end up in a profession by luck or coincidence. I've had neither happen. And this isn't about following your passion and all that stuff.

So what should I do? Just pick an area with good job prospects and become a master of that since I can't seem to find something to focus on?

Would you hire a jack of all trades? If so, why? How come there are no job posts for these kinds of people?
I had always expected this to come, and was surprised that it hadn't for so long. Even though VPN users justified it by saying they were paying to access Netflix, it was a legal grey area, and ultimately came down to accessing something they shouldn't have.
