One of the reasons A380 is struggling is because of lack of airports around the World that can handle such a large aircraft for passenger usage. It really does require an upgrade to an existing International Airport (those built way before A380 came along and are located in poor countries) in terms of passenger bridges and other such facilities.

Other than that, in the new age of aviation, smaller jets such as A319, A321, embraer's jets, Bombardier's Cseries, and even jets like 737MAX, 737-700+ are taking away a lot of traditional routes that would have been typically serviced by large aircraft.

It seems that now (barring transoceanic routes), smart routing of flights typically involve increased frequencies between two cities using smaller aircrafts meanwhile providing additional scheduling options for a more busy modern man.

IMHO, A380, Airbus's superguppy, and 747s should be aggressively and exclusively developed and marketed towards cargo airlines and towards military customers (think military transport) around the World and including companies like Amazon.
For emphasis, I would add, if a woman says, "I'm really scared and overwhelmed by this task" then it is possible that she is sharing too much. But managers should recall that she is perhaps simply trying to create a friendship. It isn't automatically an expression of a lack of confidence.

No, Windows use us predominantly for low paying clerical, customer support, etc. jobs, where hardware cost matters much more.

The average sales price of a Mac is 3x that of the sversge Windows PC because Macs are used by professionals, whose time is valuable.

Windows users are running what their company tells them to run, usually an internal database application for managing customer interactions.
Probably due to the fact that we are not writing Typescript for sundry reasons.
The doc says:

> The replica that registers first becomes the new leader. The new leader chooses its LEO as the new HW.

Isn't it a better idea to elect a process who has the largest offset? Basically during leader election, a process should get confirmation of majority of correct processes. If another process observes that it has larger offset in the log, rejects the election and starts another round of election. Eventualy a correct process who has largest offset will become leader. Regarding correctness, this sounds to me as a safer election.
'slightly' seems a bit understated to me. There is no other species whose members are anywhere close to sitting around typing messages to each other across hundreds or thousand of miles.

OMG! This is the blog of Andrew Braybrook, author of Paradroid and one of my childhood heroes! How cool is that!

Some years back, I found his journal online from when he developed Paradroid. I felt like being in heaven finding that treasure.

If I recall correctly, I read somewhere that he completely withdrew from the games development scene and now works for some non-game related IT company in the UK, but my memory on that is vague.

All the stuff babel includes is really impressive.

Checkout the pipeline operator: https://github.com/babel/proposals/issues/29 (https://github.com/tc39/proposal-pipeline-operator)

That's some cutting-edge stuff. I wouldn't want to use it until it was official, but it's cool to have the opportunity to try TC39 (https://github.com/tc39) proposals via babel. In addition to the normal compiler usage for the latest standards.

It goes to show how poorly funded open source projects are. We rely on these tools, file issues, and want them to work, yet there isn't enough to even pay someone to work on it full time.

> Engineer: There's a thing we need in babel, can I spent 2 days with a PR for it

> Company: lol no it's their job

Yep, the problem is cultural. The whole system of reciprocity is out of whack. The system would work more smoothly if more people took on responsibilities, QA'd, contributed patches. Give engineers a % of time to contribute back to the libraries they use.

And yea, contributing back upstream to libraries isn't always glorious as releasing your own stuff, but it's part of what open source is. These big companies (not naming names) would rather make totally new projects than pitch in maintaining current ones. I admit it, it's not fun to do, but it's necessary.

I don't know, dude. If you are talking of using camnnabis for medical use, I'm gonna want a dosage guideline and strength/purity promises.

I'm pretty sure for medical use, it will more closely resemble ibuprofen or cough medicine if it is without prescription. With prescription it'll be more like generics. It might still be a monopoly, since these drugs have to go through all the FDA testing. Heck, if you want fluoride in your toothpaste you have to go through animal testing - same for menthol in cough drops. I don't know why folks think it should be different for medical cannabis, though some folks will just use their own supply instead.

Outside of medical use, I'll guess it'll be regulated much like alcohol or tobacco. These aren't exactly lightly regulated either, though it is a much easier market to break into.

Besides, there is lots to patent. Hybrid plants, GMO plants, extraction methods for pills. Brands will be a thing, I'd think. And it doesn't mean all the other stuff won't be necessary - pot isn't a cure all, though should be an option in the arsenal. Folks will still make their money, I think.
you don't think an open market could create that equilibrium? Particularly when the coin is out of the adoption phase?

If cell phones could do this w/o me having to get it out of my pocket/purse, then I think it would catch on. Also, Siri at least, seems to have very little extensibility (or at least no one is using it).
> I think most middle class people go out to nice dinners a few times a year for anniversaries and birthdays.

I grew up "upper middle class" in the USA. We went out to nice dinners on anniversaries and birthdays - meaning $30 entrees and $5 desert, not $130 entrees. A $130 meal is a once in a lifetime type celebration (e.g. 50th wedding anniversary, making partner in a company you've worked for for a decade), not a few times a year. At least for my family.
Man, meanwhile, D has compile-time function evaluation. D's compiler is really awesome. Most of the time, no special syntax is to evaluate things at compile time (perhaps just a "static" keyword here or there) and the rules are much simpler than C++'s.

The class of tool you are looking for is a Test Case Management tool (TCM). The basic model of a TCM is a db for holding atomic test cases. Most TCMs let you collect test cases into "test runs", which is a set of test cases to be executed in a context. Test runs can typically be organized into some kind of project bucket (e.g., "drop 11" or "release foo").

TCMs usually support tagging of test cases, so you could for example tag some test cases as "smoke test" and collect them into a smoke test run.

TCMs usually support the manual execution of test cases: the tester works from a "test run" and sets status of that test cases instance to pass/fail/etc. Depending on the state of your test automation, you can also do the same status setting for an automated "test run". Some TCMs support the automatic updating of a test case instance via APIs triggered by integration with test frameworks.

Some TCMs support integrations with bug trackers, for example with Jira. This means you could create a virtuous circle of automated test execution, test run status updating, and bug creation for failed tests, depending on the maturity of your test automation infrastructure and your TCM and bug tracker tool choices.

My current preference is for Testrail (http://www.gurock.com/testrail/) over TestLink.

But here's the deal: a TCM is a far better tool than Word or Excel in tracking test cases or test execution, but TCMs come with gotchas. Any QA or test effort is a dynamic process that should evolve over time. It's easy to put way too much emphasis on the TCM as the goal of your test work, but it's just a tool that supports a process. Don't use a TCM as your strategic test planning tool, because it's a software product written by external teams according to their own crazy software development realities and definitions of process and quality. Figure out what you need to focus on, what your workflow should be, and use a TCM as a tool that helps you right now, and drop it if you find yourself changing your work patterns to suit the tool.
Yeah, I was thinking about that but I think corporatism is an effect of corporate personhood. If we're talking about root causes, I think it's the rights we attach to corporations.
This is a mindset that I encountered a lot from managers and VPs at Google. The premise is that the best way to improve one's incremental technical contribution is to improve an entire team.

If you bust your ass for a year and improve your own technical chops, you might be able to implement stuff 10% faster. Instead, you could help a team of 30 people to produce 10% more work. This is achievable from my anecdotal experience, but citation needed. At this point, you can throw your 10% incremental improvement out the window because now your incremental engineering improvement is 10% of a 30 person team, or 3 engineers. Now imagine you organized a department of 300 engineers to develop the right mix of infrastructure, forward-looking projects, and core projects such that the organization runs and grows efficiently. Now your incremental technical contribution is so much larger than the initial 10% that it's laughable.

This doesn't have to be limited to management, which is where I think the Google VP perspective falls a little flat. You can do this kind of work through pure technical contributions. I think managers write about this kind of leverage more often, but it can come from any kind of organization. A core library or tool has a massive impact, because it's reusable past the bounds of your team. Maybe you're change isn't 10% distributed across 30 people, but you could improve 3000 people by 1%.

There’s also a major interaction with poverty. From a dollars per calorie perspective, fast food can be a great bargain... at the expense of nutrition of course.

Similarly, healthy foods can be a luxury from a time-to-prepare perspective. Toasting walnuts, chopping kale, and dicing pears for a totally rockin’ macro nutrient side salad is something that someone with two jobs just isn’t going to do.

Why are the fast, unhealthy things cheap? Some of it is government agricultural subsidy structure. Some of it is comparative shelf life. There are probably others as well.

Does an actor system need to be part of the language? In the Scala world, there's the akka library to provide actors (but of course you could use a totally different actor system instead). Alternatively in Elixir, actors (Processes) with their send/receive functionality is built into the language and each module can essentially be an actor.

I guess the trade off is that if it's a part of the language, you get it standard and built in as a language construct. But if it's in an external library, you can use different actor systems and benchmark them accordingly.
You'll probably need to get up your user base before any monetization.

It's less about management and technical ability, and more about soft skills and hard skills.

A recent Washington Post article shared an analytical study from Google on what made engineers at the company successful:

"Project Oxygen shocked everyone by concluding that, among the eight most important qualities of Google’s top employees, STEM expertise comes in dead last. The seven top characteristics of success at Google are all soft skills: being a good coach; communicating and listening well; possessing insights into others (including others different values and points of view); having empathy toward and being supportive of one’s colleagues; being a good critical thinker and problem solver; and being able to make connections across complex ideas."

Unfortunately, almost all computer science education nowadays focuses on pure technical skills and hiring interviews at most tech companies also focus on the technical skills. The impact is that many engineers plateau in their careers because they've underinvested in (and oftentimes looked down upon) the "soft skills" that actually separate the top engineers from everyone else.

Here's the article:

Other countries without legal cannabis haven't had the same problem with opioid medication.
Another point that could be made is that all the questions in the first part are important and need to be answered, and all the answers in the second part are what the relevant people involved will actually do, but if you add up all the answers in the second part, you haven't actually answered most of the questions in the first part.

And I'd say I've definitely played games where major systems were done that way; someone up on high said the system needed to exist, and then people charged off and did concept art, and sound effects, and made assets, and setup scripting hooks, without ever really fleshing out the details of what the system was meant to do. Come to that, I've worked on some non-game projects that did the same thing. :)
The problem isn't the regulation per se, it's the militarized police kicking in doors and murdering people, the violent gangs that murder people, the cartels, and all the social chaos around all the above--ruined families, kids without functioning parents, car crashes, lost jobs, all of it.

I can't just say "legalize it all" but at this point what makes anyone think total legalization would actually be worse?
Almost all middle class families can afford a $130 meal once or twice a year. It's really just about what else they're giving up. Think about how many "middle class" families own Harley motorcycles - and those things are inflated money sinks, similar to a boat, ATV+trailer, RV, lifted truck, or dirtbag travel habit. Most "middle class" families can afford one toy. On that scale, $130 even once a month is quite affordable.
If the generator is itself in C++, then it requires to have 2 full toolchains to bootstrap it. Then if the developer have a great idea such as "hey, I got access to all my code! Let's reuse it" then you have to build the package twice. Since everytime you do that you increase the number of packages to be built on the host toolchain, after a while they start to bleed into each other (due to buggy build systems in the dependencies) and when you execute the final binary, you get "wrong file format" errors on the target (or worst, sizeof() mismatch at runtime)...

I am not saying there is no solution to these problem, of course there is. All I said is that it makes bootstrapping a system much harder than it would otherwise have been with constexpr. Many devs avoid those issues because dependencies rarely change and once you fixed all issues, it will most likely stay stable.

Mature and "made for embedded" projects tend to be better since cross compiling have been taken into account in each steps of the pipeline. But if you start pulling random code from the internet, expect the worst.
Distributed logs like kafka/pulsar/nats are essentially a blockchain technology in trusted environments.

What's interesting to me is that we use the same morphological operation (-s suffix) to express two very different concepts. You see this in other places as well, for example the Germanic -en suffix is used in at least 3 different ways in English: as the past participle verb tense (speak -spoken), as a way to transform adjectives into verbs (wide-widen) and (a very old) way to transform nouns into adjectives (gold-golden).

Why not use different morphology for these different grammatical concepts? The language would be cleaner and more consistent. My theory is that, basically, it's hard to learn to pronounce many different sounds, but it's easy for our brains to sort through the ambiguity that the morphological overlap produces.
