Statement from United Airlines CEO, Oscar Munoz, on United Express Flight 3411
I'm ready when I have no broken packet version conflicts or old packets.

And probably I'd still miss quite a few apps:

- Media stuff: Adobe, Ableton, Touchdesigner, Visual Studio (these are the real deal-breaker for me)

- some casual games

Might be already supported one way or another:

- autohotkey (though there might be even better tools, just have to convert all my scripts)

- a global equalizer that I can feed parametrically to adjust sound to my room (for measuring my room I can still boot windows once I guess).

- shareX replacement (select area for screenshot, annotate, upload to ftp with hashed filename, upload clipboard to markdown file online, give back custom url etc)
Prettier is like rainbow sprinkels on top of my code.

I write vastly different JS as Prettier formats (single quotes, no semicolons, etc.), but after I hit save everything just looks 'normalised'
> How do you fraudulently overcharge in a grocery?

Systematically mislabeling prepackaged, WF-store-produced products to indicate greater net weight than is actually provided was, IIRC, the main method.

Having false scales for bulk goods would also be a possibility, though I don't think WF was ever accused of that.
They can do that today if they want to. I'm not seeing how the proposed solution adds anything.
The History of Influencer Marketing Is Longer Than You Think
Snapchat is a much more of a personal messaging app while instagram works like a social networking app.

There's a little overlap in their features but they're not used the same way. They aren't competing for users.

If you want to talk to someone you use snapchat, if you want social validation use instagram.
In my opinion, Nintendo should release a FPGA-based NES/SNES, with low latency joypads, and perfect audio and video (including advanced filters for "clean" and "perfectly distorted" experience). That, plus a "market" so they can ensure profits, would be huge, both for them, and for the users.
Thanks! What resources do you recommend for app UI designers to get their hands dirty with this 3D interface paradigm?
You put > at the beginning of each paragraph in the excerpt to indicate that it's part of the quotation. It's easy to see at a glance that a given paragraph is part of the quote.
US border guards don't even know what a prime minister is. There's no way they know about diplomatic passports. They have no idea about the laws they are supposed to enforce. They think they're supposed to enforce laws that don't exist. They are stupid idiots who exert their power randomly and wrongly. That's been my experience. Expecting anything else is unrealistic. What else do you expect from someone who probably barely graduated high school in the US? If these people were qualified to work at McDonalds, I assume they would.
> It only takes a couple of outliers to bring everything down. I'm not exactly well-versed in defining specs for large scale backend apps (not a back-end engineer) but it seems to me that preparing for the average would not be a wise decision?

It's not an average: Reddit controlled the 5 minute user cool-down period, a.k.a. request throttling. 333 updates/s was the capacity. As alluded to in the article, the 5 minutes was dynamically configurable: if more than 100,000 had users showed up, they would have increased the cool-down period to a value that would yield 333 updates per second at most.
...it's not like you have write assembly to get it done, the native canvas API is fairly straightforward. A game engine is a bit of an overkill if all you want to do is place pixels on a canvas.
why would you stand in queue for 20 minutes? I never understood it, I am usually one of the last people boarding the plane, heck I will be sitting there in small space for many hours usually so where is the rush to be there first if I have guaranteed booked seat with alloted space for my hand baggage, so where is the rush? never understood people standing in line immediately when they start boarding as if sitting in plane would be more pleasant than sitting in boarding area

I would understand this only in first come first serve airlines without assigned seats, but I think nobody is doing this in Europe anymore, in US you stil do this?
Tough to say for sure regarding taking attention from the Switch but from what I've seen the Switch is still selling out very quickly from retailers. That makes me believe there is still high demand.

It could be that their virtual console once-released may be in competition for sales of classic games.
Exactly this.

Nintendo and Twitter are extremely similar. Twitter lucked into an AAA product, and management hasn't been able to leverage it to anything like the Facebook competitor it should have been.

Nintendo lucked into hiring a game design genius (Miyamoto) who also happened to be a great mentor and producer, meaning they've had a steady stream of AAA games for 30+ years.

If either one of these companies had great CEOs, they would easily be dominating their respective industries.
I'll be happy to explain! Indeed, both as a driver and a pedestrian, I am usually not particularly happy with cyclists.

Cyclists are the most vulnerable agents on the road. More than pedestrians (even a light touch or sudden appearance is enough to tip the bike). At the same time, they are usually the most reckless people on the road. They are happy to ignore traffic lights, passage priority, almost never signal a turn (when they do, I am applauding in my mind), and generally consider themselves invulnerable. Motocyclists can be reckless, but at least they stop at red and signal lane changes. Pedestrians are vulnerable, but careful. Cyclists are the worst of the both worlds. Yes, they risk their lives, but I am not happy to take their life and go to prison for nothing. There are rules for everyone on the road, including cyclists -- please do not ignore them, and we'll be happy.

As a pedestrian, I was nearly hit by a cyclist quite a few times while walking at the park. They are silent and can't be seen until the very last moment. I am also not happy about that. Some attach this ratchet thing to be more noticeable -- you are the real heroes. Unfortunately, I almost never see it in the wild.
Well, I don't believe the procedures to be unnecessary. Also, I am not a citizen of Israel but rather a guest, so anything to protect the citizens and other guests from terrorism.

In my opinion, if US airport security was run according to Israeli standards, 9/11 would have been less likely.

Speaking from experience, it's actually worries about poaching, letting the competition know the size of your various teams, and possibly privacy for employees too.

You are right that with things like LinkedIn you could probably get a lot of this information, but it's enough of a hurdle that execs still think it's worth it.
They delivered an innovative business model. Not every company is a technology company.
What is the learning curve on a game engine for not game engine developers?

They used tools they knew and knew how to scale. Almost always the tool you know is better than the perfect tool. They know redis and websockets, and they made it work. Beats using some engine know one on staff has ever touched?
Building a Dynamic Mobile CI System
I always preferred early classes. Usually in school I would be done by lunch MWF, and do 1-6 or 3-7 TuTh.

Most of the people I knew complaining about early classes were hung over. I only drank and carried on during the weekend to avoid that.
Our clients (for the most part) already use call recording tools like RingCentral, 8x8, or a recording function within their preferred VOIP tool.

As call data becomes more accessible it will become more valuable, and my guess is we'll see more companies adopt call recording for their inside sales teams.

Regarding legality, some of these call tools have the option of 1-sided recording, meaning they're only recording what the sales rep is saying.
As a young 20 something, Snapchat stories is still dominant among my social circle and other social circles I encounter. No one I know uses Instagram stories heavily. I even have a few friends with Spectacles.

Snapchat's app is absolutely shit on anything except an iPhone though and even casual users I know mention this.
Not a huge surprise. Most likely our kind of environment is an unusual place for life, it might be much more normal for life outside the frost line to run on geothermal energy (where there are 10 or so bodies with liquid water) as opposed to the one small rock that didn't get all the water boiled away by the sun.
You'd expect some virtual console on the Switch but that is still missing the point of the NES Classic, which is cheap enough to be an impulse buy or a gift, and cashes in on the nostalgia of an entire generation.

I know a lot of people who haven't played video games since they were kids who wanted the NES Classic, it has a unique appeal.
Ah okay then!

BTW, thanks for the great post, it was a very interesting read.
Arrgh! I saw several of these sitting on the counter of a Gamestop just last week, but instead decided 'No, I was just able to get two Switch consoles. That's enough for today. I'll grab one of those in a week or two."

Now with this sudden announcement, no doubt those have vanished and I won't see one again without paying as much as a Switch ($300+) for one. Thanks, Nintendo. You're really listening to your fans here.
It's a good start
It's important to understand that some business decisions aren't based off of money. Sometimes they are based on the emotions of the people working at the company.

Like a TV network cancelling a series with good ratings because an executive wants to put something else in it's slot to further his legacy.

Or a company hiring and promoting someone unqualified because they remind the director of themselves earlier in life.

Or a game company ending a successful series because the head of software was tired of making it.
I honestly would prefer that they focus on super cars after the model 3 instead of pickup trucks. I definitely think that theres a bunch of potential for creating all electric pickup trucks, but Tesla is a high end luxury brand similar to companies like Mercedes, BMW, and Audi and they've also proven to be able to make high performing cars.

- It's obvious when you use a nice cell phone, so it's a status symbol. Eating organic, expensive food can be as well, but it's far less obvious what your lunch or dinner is made of to an onlooker.

- A nice cell phone is $1,000 extra every 2-3 years. Eating only at Whole Foods is $500-$1000 extra PER MONTH for a household.

- Whole Foods has more competition now, Apple not so much. Apply owns much more of the supply chain compared to Whole Foods.

- Owning Apple products is almost a necessity in certain jobs for technological or status reasons. What you eat is never that much of a concern.

- The status boost of having a fancy phone is a good value, compared to, for instance, a fancy car. The status boost of eating fancy food is much more questionable, as are the health benefits.
As a concrete example, as far as I can tell the entire Puella Magi Madoka Magica section, starting from Homura Did Nothing Wrong next to Darth Plagueis The Wise, was hand-crafted and hand-maintained. On their discord they were actively discouraging community members that wanted to use bots.

I've always heard of Nintendo that they only cared for the Japan market and that all else was simply an happy side effect.
If a system performance is profiled as being dominated by 80% A , 19% B and 1 % C. I'd focus on working on A first to get maximum gains. Amdahl's law gives you the backing as to why you should do this.

As a real world example, if an operation involves a network call and you see the RTT dominating the time. You may want to think of ways to avoid the call (caching etc..) if possible to get really good gains.
You probably know this but... you can use "ZFS-on-root" with Ubuntu although, as you mentioned, it's not available by default (or with the installer). I did it (w/ 16.04) on a laptop w/ a pair of SSDs a while back, mostly just being curious about ZFS on Linux in general. Now, both my workstation and primary laptop use ZFS (on Arch Linux) just like my FreeBSD servers do.

Maybe you should think about it less as "coddling" and more as "people are different and stuffing them into the same box is runs the very real risk of failure or unhappiness." But that doesn't validate your own life choices the way your posts do, so I can understand why you might not.

The idea that "everyday life" should demand that everyone operate in cognitively subpar conditions for them because you like them is a silly one. The last time I woke up before 9AM when I didn't have a flight to catch the next morning was 2013; I will have been successfully running my own consultancy (and making half again as much money with about half the work that the "everyday life" equation specified) for three years now at the end of this month.

Weird how that life works and works well without sneering at people who do like to get up and work early.

An upper limit on the benefits. To me, an upper limit is a negative result. When Leon (in Blade Runner) finds out that he only has 4 years to live (an upper bound) he takes it pretty hard.

Amdahl:

A fairly obvious conclusion which can be drawn at this
point is that the effort expended on achieving high
parallel processing rates is wasted unless it is
accompanied by achievements in sequential processing
rates of very nearly the same magnitude.

A point made when we read the paper was that Seymour Cray always made sure that his computers were also the fastest scalar computers even though they were sold as vector processors.
I would say succinctness = productivity but not necessarily power. It could be argued that succinct code is easier to digest and less prone to bugs, but on the flipside brevity in the description of what the code is doing is the bane of all maintainers existence. There is certainly a threshold where succinctness starts to be detrimental in the ability to express and convey logic to next person who looks at your code.

> SWOT market analysis

First time I've come across this acronym. Googled it to find SWOT expands to "Strengths, Weaknesses Opportunities, Threats".

Any inexpensive way to do this for an MVP? I'm currently working on shipping my 1st side-project and am very interested in learing more about how I can utilize SWOT approach.
(I do like ProductHunt, so don't take this as an attack on the product)

PH allows anyone to find and vote on anything, and has a follower model that gives hunters with many followers much more exposure. The result of this is that hunters with lots of followers are a lot more effective at getting products attention, as are makers that aggressively market their PH submission, irregardless of the product's merits. Because these mechanics aren't interest-targeted, PH also heavily favors highly-general/mass-market products.

Just brainstorming, but I'd be interested in seeing if a product that eliminates this factor could be better at evaluating products purely on their merits. Maybe you select a couple topics that you're knowledgeable about, and each day you get a small, randomly-allocated batch of products in that topic that you can rate on a five-star scale (as opposed to an approval/participation scale)? In this model, there's no directed way to influence a particular product, the smaller number of products makes it easier to spend more time on each product, and all reviews would be done by people in their area of expertise. It'd probably be best to normalize the number of ratings on each products, to control for varying levels of participation and exposure. This would probably need to run on a rolling weekly model instead of a daily model.

I suspect that marketing this would be more challenging, since this also removes the incentive for makers and hunters to promote the site for votes. It'd probably be better at evaluating products purely on their merits, but I don't know if that's something the world needs enough to be self-sustainable.
> US airlines have been through hell over the last 16 years. Bankruptcies, union battles, fierce competition, and not to mention, the real threat that someone could blow up or intentionally crash the plane they're flying, all contributed to a mentality that the employees have to stick together to survive.

So you say US market is more competitive than European and have more strikes than European airlines and less risk? I call that very poor excuse compared to European airlines, which work under harsher conditions than American, but still keep level of service higher than American airlines (of course both are inferior to Asian carriers).
Neither article shows what you purport it to show. It's no secret Republicans think they'll do better as a result of voter ID laws, but that doesn't address the point. The Maddow article is particularly disingenuous.

Its actually more surprising regions haven't figured out they can create their own voting blocs and gain outsized influence. This happens in Canada with the Bloc Quebecois basically being Quebec's political party in Canada.

They trade votes on other things for concessions with Quebec. Scotland has done similar things.
Ironic then that this article is set in a hard-to-read typeface!
While I understand the reasons for this (especially with the culture, for lack of a better word, around Go), I feel like this is a step backward in general. The "standard" Haskell formatter, hindent, did something similar. I found the maintainer's behavior admirable -- the style that was agreed on was very different from his own, but it was what he saw after analyzing publicly available code -- but what's the problem with custom formats if they're consistent across a whole codebase?
Back 15 years or so ago, I went to whole foods and purchased outrageously expensive tomatoes and other products because they not only were in theory grown without a bunch of potentially harmful chemicals but they _TASTE_ better. Buying tomato's, even in season, at the local grocery store usually results in tasteless, pulpy (or rocky) products. Same for pretty much every other fruit/vegetable. They also carried "strange" things like rice milk, and premium cheeses, and a bunch of other things frequently not found in the normal supermarket chains.

So the prices were insane (resulting in stories about $35 bags of cherries and other nonsense) but the product quality generally matched.

Fast forward a few years, and as whole foods grew they stopped being able to get the small batch products picked at peak ripeness or produced at artisan quantities. Instead they contracted out to giant organic agribusiness and the quality fell, while at the same time the traditional supermarket started carrying some of these premium products. Today, probably 90% of the smaller whole foods products are available in similar forms at the local supermarket. Sure I guess whole food still has artisan quantity products, but finding them can be difficult in their supermarket sized stores.

So, whole foods is really just a victim of their own success. In my case, to many tasteless vegetables later, I simply stopped making the effort to drive to their stores.
> All it takes is one loudmouth freshman SJW filmed on a campus to bias millions of people while thousands of trained people try to educate others about diversity issues get totally ignored.

Yeah, that's the truth, and it absolutely sucks. The conservative news coterie will give endless coverage of these incidents, priming millions to despise these people and their viewpoints. It only takes a small handful of people to ruin things for everybody, but this is also true of a few loudmouthed, asshole bigots on the right convincing the left that this is the majority view. This is why I preach the whole thing about listening, negotiation, etc. - it doesn't just apply to those of us on the left, there's absolutely a need for the right to listen thoughtfully as well.

I even feel this way about incidents that I am deeply, personally affected by. Climate change scares the shit out of me (look through my comment history if you need examples), so much so that I have struggled with depression and existential crises solely over this. Unless a hot war takes us out first, I'm firmly convinced that, if anything destroys humanity, this will be it. I'm afraid to have children, and terrified that the meaning I derive from life will be snatched away by stubbornness, greed, stupidity and laziness, which is heartbreaking. And yet, in spite of all that, when I watched a video of coal miners protesting environmental regulation that would take away jobs, I felt sorry for them, and angry at the climate change counter-protesters who were obnoxiously shoving signs in their face and shouting at them. Knowing that this will only make them hate liberals and environmentalists even more makes this sort of thing unacceptable. The best way to get what you want isn't shoving it down somebody else's throat unless you genuinely have the power to do so and enforce it permanently. In a two-party democracy, neither side has that power, necessitating consensus.
> ... doesn't even pretend to support upgrades.

This was certainly true in the past but hasn't really been the case for the last couple of years.
Google's Pixel is anecdotally comparable and costs roughly the same as iPhones. If the Pixel's costs stack up similarly to the iPhone, Google could soon put downward pressure on smartphone prices.
100% correct. First off as someone who uses the HoloLens daily FOV becomes less and less of an issue. People have to realize with FOV that it's a happy medium, most tech is about compromise and they did a great job with the hololens. Let's say they decided to add a wider FOV, they would have to add more glass, more processing power, longer battery life, more R&D, all of these things add up to a greater price, a heavier system and later release date. It's about equalibrium.
