BTW, probably some downvoters think I'm advocating to move this to some hipster language like JS or something like that.

I work mostly for enterprise-alike customers, have work for government projects, etc.

So I'm aware of the work here. Also, have helped to move decent-sized code bases, several times, from OLD->NEW.

> ~$1 Billion to convert their old system

If things in AU is alike my country, this cost is inflated... For some project Oracle bid our customers 10x more than ours at the time.

But this is beside the point, anyway.

---

So, how this could be done?

====

The first problem is the need to have a solid hardware+OS, where linux is not there.

Solution? Stay on mainframes. Is basic.

The second problem is OLD cobol + Zero understanding in why, how, where, etc is the full system. This is the big one.

This is alike find a OLD C codebase, made like 3 years ago. Or even better, a OLD B codebase (or any kind of precursor to C, if it exist at the time...).

And pretend the solution is to STAY WITH THE OLD CODEBASE. For DECADES.

IS THIS MADDNESS!

NOT, IS IT!!!!

So, you build a better COBOL. Like CoffeScript->Js. You star moving the code from OLD to NEW. In the process, you document, and build testing. You end with a better cobol (or a transpiler) with a proper toolchain.

----
This can be look as the progress with another bad language, JS. You start with something terrible, with a huge installed base, yet, you star moving torwards something else.

In the process, you can do something alike ASM.js but for cobol, and whola, you can transpile other languages.

Southwest was a case study in a business class I took in college. Our materials credited their success to their management style of encouraging enjoyable, fun behavior from their employees and giving them the freedom to "do the right thing".

It may be a stretch, but I imagine if United employees felt they had the freedom to circumvent policy to "do the right thing", the situation could've been avoided.

Ah, okay, that makes sense, particularly with the cross-platform aspect. Personally, my plan had generally been to just go with a client-server architecture. At least to start I'd only be targeting macOS in my hypothetical projects, so I had planned to just write the UI in Swift and Cocoa, and application logic in Rust. Unnecessarily complicated, but fun for a hobby project.
This guy is just trying to tout his own product. That aside, Kaggle can be quite useful for learning... at least it used to be. Kaggle got me into machine learning 2-3 years ago and now it is about 50% of my job in consulting. Problem is, Kaggle is running too many deep learning, image based comps and they are lucky to get a couple hundred competitors each. The wider user base engages much more heavily in transaction based competitions, and these are much closer to the real world problems you are likely to encounter as a professional.
Could they have averted disaster with money? It's astounding that there were no volunteers when they offered USD 800 for a seat, 800 dollars is a nice sum. Every single passenger on that airplane thought there was a catch involved, they were getting again 800 dollars in airline vouchers, which everyone knows have big gotchas attached. The airline has a trust problem, which won't improve anytime soon.

That's not what I was talking about. See the original comment and follow-ups.
One possibility is that the regional flights are only marginally profitable for United, and very slim margin for the regional carrier (Republic Airline/United Express) so they limit voucher amounts for bumped passengers.

For an Embraer 170 aircraft (70 seats) the operating cost of the flight is about $2500-$3000 for the Chicago to Louisville flight. A supplementary flight with the 4 crew and any re-booked passengers would have cost the airline about $5,000 if they flew out-and-back as a non-scheduled flight.

SWA 737s cost around $4,000/Hr to fly, but a non-scheduled (Out and back) flight on a shorter route would still cost less than $12,000 in operating expenses.

The $1000+ flight credits for bumped passengers add up fast, but supplementary flights are relatively rare for airlines, other than for cancellations due to maintenance issues. CEOs like Oscar Munoz need to make supplementary flights easier to authorize, and the negative PR would be significantly reduced.
I'd say the simplest solution is a global (or just shared) variable using a thread-safe container like queue.Queue. There's also multiprocessing.Queue, which supports sharing the queue across multiple workers.
These services are all designed to syphon away your money by making the amount seem so small you won't notice. I'm sure it all adds up though.

That's the least interesting part of my comment. Sure, TLS is great. What about the rest?
One could argue the same thing about nearly any ongoing topic.

You mentioned elsewhere in this thread[0] that you're concerned about global warming and "Tesla is, by my measure, the tech company that comes closest to addressing this in any way." Tesla has not yet succeeded in having a significant impact on global warming, much less transformed the automobile industry or the large-scale use of batteries. Whether or not they succeed is something that many are interested in, just as it seems you are. Tesla has very ambitious goals in terms of Model 3 production and many people have expressed doubts whether they'll be able to meet those goals. Missing those goals could have a significant impact on the long-term success of the company. To meet these goals, Tesla acquired the automation company of which Grohmann was the CEO. If the departure of Grohmann results in management difficulties or departures of other Grohmann Automation staff, this could have a significant impact on whether Tesla meets these goals.

A wait-and-see attitude can make sense if you're just interested in the outcome and don't think you have any stake or ability to influence the company or the industry. If that's where you're coming from, there's nothing wrong with that.

At the same time, if you're concerned about the long-term survival of Tesla, own Tesla stock, are perhaps interested in purchasing a Tesla, or interested in getting into the electric automobile industry or battery industry, or any other of a number of reasons, or purely from an interest in better understanding how changes like this can affect a company, or an industry, this can indeed be something that is important.

Sure, there's some gossip-like discussion. We should all do our part to improve the level of discourse. Dismissing or trivializing others' interest, however, is not one of them. Share your point of view? Sure. It can be a worthwhile contribution to get someone's perspective, and in my experience on HN, one that's generally well-received when it's thoughtful and well-considered. Expressing your "wait and see" attitude with respect to Tesla I'm sure is something that people can appreciate on its own, while remembering that there are others that may not share it.

The best way to learn is to start low-level. It sounds like you are interested in k8s specifically (which I HIGHLY recommend, it's the future). Don't use a layer on top of k8s like Deis, just use k8s itself.

I would recommend you start with minikube to run a cluster easily on your laptop. If you REALLY want to get nitty gritty you can try installing it from scratch, but I think that's overkill with all the tools available for setup.

read read read. try things. break things. k8s has a mountain of concepts and terminology to learn, so start with their docs.

To answer your questions:

Ingress is not a load balancer. It is basically a reverse-proxy into your cluster you can manage with manifests. It is paired with an ingress-controller which can be whatever you want, nginx.. traefik etc. The default k8s ingress is nginx under the covers.

Services are your load balancers. You can also use a service mesh like Linkerd for even more functionality.

Good luck!
I wouldn't expect it to be much cheaper, as involuntary bumping is extremely uncommon.
Even jokes aren't necessarily frowned upon, as long as you contribute something meaningful as well. A joke prefixing or postfixing a comment of substance (even if it's just a question) doesn't garner many down votes, in my experience. I think people are wary of this turning into reddit where you sometimes get chains of joke comments swamping discussion. Which is fine, because we have Reddit for those that want that, and HN for something different.
One of the most famous fake Twain quotes is: "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco."

Exceptions are zero-cost in terms of performance on any sane architecture (this excludes x86, but not x64). The only cost that you're paying is the extra memory for the tables, which are all statically allocated.

So... my first reaction to your comment was "why don't they just turn this into an actual auction, with no price limits? This seems like such a good solution that I feel like I must be missing something."

However, thinking about it more, I think there's a problem with that that's hidden by the nature of the United debacle.

In that situation, the passengers had tickets, and they company was trying to seat their own staff. That is, the potential buyer was the airline, and the sellers were the passengers. So in that scenario, auctioning makes sense, because you can literally flip the buyer and seller roles.

However, in a typical overbooking situation, there are more passengers than seats, so it's unclear who the buyer and sellers are, because none of the "sellers" actually "own" anything definitive. If the tickets are all infinitely valuable to each passenger, no one can get on the plane, and there's a sort of stalemate. Then I suppose there would be a cost to each passenger, and an incentive to accept a price, and it wouldn't be infinite anymore. But in general, the cost dynamics seem weird to me. But then again, I'm not an expert in this.

At some level, overbooking seems indistinguishable from fraud--which can also be profitable for its practitioners.
The behavior of exceptions in C++ is well-defined. But implementations do have bugs about many things that are well-defined - this is one of those cases.

AFAIK that's sort of the website's fault. The HTML5 video support allows the website to query the browser's codec capabilities in order to determine which video file to show to the user (for those sites where videos are available in multiple codecs), so if the website's JS does not find any matching codec, they should show an appropriate error message.

Now of course, to most users of the average video site, an error message involving the words "supported codecs" would just be gibberish, so I can see why many video sites just show a generic "Something went wrong" error (or nothing at all, since it's plainly obvious that something went wrong when the video's not playing).

You didn't read my next sentence.

I was explaining that you could use the object in two ways. (If you only ever used it the second way then you would just make it static, so I was giving the first way as a reason why it would not be static.)
My understanding is that the next flight was something like the following afternoon. Business travelers are basically not going to voluntarily take a later flight at all. With respect to vouchers, most people don't travel all that much so a 1 yr. voucher isn't worth much. But offer cash (or a voucher at 2x) and you'll get people at some point.
Except that many of the "pretty" images released by nasa to the media are only that. Scientific value is one type of value, promotional value another. That far out from the sun the only realistic pictures would be shades of black. Our eyesight isn't made for such environments. That they need to be photoshopped so that we can perceive their detail doesn't detract from the facts of those details. One image for us to understand and appreciate, another from which to make scientific measurements.

BTW, I can't imagine that IBM or somebody else have not figure a technological solution to this.

The main trouble is that customers on the enterprise side of the world have no respect for developers, and fired them after years or just not care.

Then, when in trouble, ask for external contractors that do not have the required knowledge (and maybe, not even the skills).

For this to work, it need to engage the on-site developers + maybe contractor or hire some additional hands for the mechanical work. Do it well, and this is fairly cheap for the benefit.

But this require to "do it well". And that is the "hard" part, because is the human factor the big issue here.
The obvious answer is that plane ticket prices would increase. Some people wouldn't fly and some flights wouldn't fly.
This maybe seems complicated because Node has 1 obvious way to run (single threaded with asynchronous functions) but Python has a few ways (single threaded, multithreaded, ioloops kind of like Node, greenlets).

"Just"
So on that topic, a request typically has a single transaction going out to the database so within the scope of the request, has to perform its steps in serial in any case. If it needs to make several requests to web services that aren't dependent on each other, that's an area where you can get into stacking them with some kind of concurrency construct (I'd pass it into a greenlet oriented worker pool). but this is already going to be a heavy web request with multiple web service calls.

Mark is also the that recently tweeted a picture indicating that he as working through an "into to python for machine learning" book. He may have been successful in tech 25 years ago, but I don't place a premium on his opinions of where things are going. Advising someone who does not intend to go into the academic field to major in any of those is pretty poor career advice. Either you want to work in academia or you just love the subjects and will figure out money through other means... only plausible reasons to pursue those majors. Of course you don't have to worry about automation impact on degrees that have little to no correlation to job-placement anyway.
Many people still consider it shady, despite the fact that it's been common practice for so many years. No one is ever surprised anymore, but perhaps this is one of those trends that shouldn't leave the software industry.

It's necessary to maximize total surplus as well. If someone wanted to get on the plane, and they took off with a seat empty, that's a deadweight loss. The guy sitting next to an empty seat is a little happier, but it's pretty minimal.

United increasing the maximum bump fee completely solves the problem. Short of the apocalypse, you're going to find plenty of takers on any flight for $10k, even if it's a multiple day delay. The people who take the payoff are better off -- if they weren't, they wouldn't have taken the voluntary deal to fly later. Then the airline just needs to gather some statistics about how high the auctions go, and optimize the overbook rate to maximize their revenue. Everyone then is better off. In fact, on a lot of flights, you can probably find multiple people to bump with just a token payment -- they'd rather stay another day.

The other great thing about dynamic overbooking like this is that you never have to have a sold out flight, some of them are just really expensive. Someone who really needs to be on a plane walks up and plunks down $5000 or something, and the airline finds the least disrupted passenger, and pays him a few hundred. The bumped guy is happy to have the money, the last minute guy is happy to be on the plane, and the airline is happy to make $4700 extra.

This works even better with a name-your-price bump question on checkin for flights that are oversold. Even if it's nonbinding, the airline now knows that it has willing passengers to bump and can keep selling tickets.
In Vancouver, it seems popular to mention wealthy Chinese demand.

No the price of the transaction is the sum of the items in your shopping cart which is usually stored as a session variable or cookie. The price paid is the value charged to a customer which is gathered from an input parameter on form submission. If you are attempting to bill someone 1000$ for an item that cost 10 then you have a problem. You should know what the value of every item in your inventory is right? And you should also know when said item is being purchased if you are charging someone for it. If you didnt do this check what's to stop someone from submitting a payment of 10$ for a product that cost 1000$? Your fancy system with ECC Ram would let it go through and you just lost 990$ because you thought hardware could fix your software mistakes.

This is a ridiculous conversation because data corruption could happen in the CPU cache, the QPI, or a number of micro-components in between the ram and cpu that could cause errors that ECC Ram can't fix. ECC ram is not a catch all for poor programming and poor validation checking period.
I recently set my dad up with an e-reader because the thing he was most excited about was being able to adjust the text size for his poor eye sight.
Well in this case the market is distorted by the fact that regulations allow the airline to not let people board for a much smaller cost. If the airline didn't have that legal out, they would be forced to negotiate terms with each passenger whose contract they wanted to break.

> However, in a typical overbooking situation, there are more passengers than seats, so it's unclear who the buyer and sellers are, because none of the "sellers" actually "own" anything definitive.

I'm not quite sure I'm following. When the airline overbooks then tries to pay off passengers to accept a different flight the buyer is always the airline.

They're buying your seat back from you to satisfy their contract with someone else. I can't fathom a situation where every seat is infinitely valuable - out of several hundred people surely at least one person will accept a million dollars for example.

Overbooking can look like fraud, but if the airline offers an uncapped ever-increasing payout for a seat then the risk profile increases significantly for them and they'll do it to a lesser degree.
