The pre-merger Alaska Airlines fleet contains four different variants of the Boeing 737, with one of those (the 737-900) outfitted in either of two seating configurations.

Only the 737-800 and the 737-900 "V2" configuration are outfitted with a dedicated section of extra-legroom seats near the front of the economy cabin. In the others (737-400, 737-700, and 737-900 "V1"), the only way to get additional legroom in the economy cabin is to snag an exit-row or bulkhead seat.

For sake of comparison:

* 737-900 "V1" has two exit rows with additional legroom, and one bulkhead row with additional legroom, for a total of 18 seats, in a 165-seat economy cabin, with additional legroom.

* 737-900 "V2" has two exit rows with additional legroom, and four rows at the front of the economy cabin designated "premium", with 3-4 more inches of legroom compared to non-"premium" non-exit-row seats, for a total of 30 seats, in a 162-seat economy cabin, with additional legroom.

The worst configuration is the 737-700, where one of the exit rows has only two seats each side of the aisle; this brings it down to only 16 economy seats available with additional legroom. The best is the 737-800, which has five rows of "premium" plus two exit rows, for 42 seats with additional legroom.

One aspect where .doc beats .html is in the ability to rapidly write small changes to disk. Open a document, edit a few characters near the start, and save. .html would have to write the full document out to disk; .doc could write less than a kilobyte.

That was extremely useful in a time where programs crashed all the time, necessitating frequent saving, and floppy disks, with write speeds in the order of 50 kilobyte per second, were the main storage medium.

This feature lives on in Word as “fast saving”, but can be disabled.

I was in China last month, there is nothing to worry about. I did not face any issue as such except for the language barrier. So, download google translate.

For VPN - Get VPNExpress app before leaving your country. All apps work great with it. If you are going for a long time, I recommend getting a paid version of VPNExpress.

Also, download didi app for cabs. And, get a sim card from the airport. Mine costed 50 Yen for 1GB data and 50 minutes of calling.

Have a safe trip :)
Eh, the Highlands speak Gaelic traditionally not scots in the way they're discussing in the article.

Also to quote the article

"Over the next few centuries, Scots, which was the language of the southern Scottish people, began to creep north"

So that doesn't really support your point

EDIT: so unless I miss my guess you're actually in Glasgow, so I'll ask, have you ever heard anyone speak "scots" as a distinct language, in real conversation? I'm genuinely curious about whether my experience of 40+ years not having heard it is unusual.

Or maybe they can implement some overlay FS and updates will be stored in FS overlays. Writing to overlay would be possible even when Windows is running. Effectively shortening time when computer cannot be used due system updates. Basically the only disrupt would be just simple reboot to activate the FS layer due Windows file locking.

As a German it feels like Scots and English might be described as dialects, i think the variety between standard German and swabian or Bavarian dialect (maybe not the accent of Stuttgart or Munich population but what grandmother spoke and the villagers still speak when they are among themselves).

At least Swiss German is described as a dialect of German, and it is unintelligible for people north of the Main river.

So if Scots is a dialect I would say Swiss German dialects might be their own language.

I have my own sort of loose rules about this. I long ago came up with it, and it works for me, but maybe there are a few holes worth poking.

Basically it goes like this: There are no 'senior'/'middle'/'junior' level developers. There are _A, _B and _C.

_A guys sit at the top. _B supports _A. _C support _A and _B, and .. other _C's. _A supports all _B's, all _C's, and of course.. all other _A's.

The position is self-determined, i.e. up to the individual. Occasionally, when enough _A's, _B's and _C's serve together, they self-organise. Sometimes, you need to tweak a few things.

For example, there is a kind of _A who doesn't want to work on things without a few multiples of _C around to clean up after him. This guy needs a _B.

Then there are _B's who ignore _C's and just wanna work with _A's. This guy needs a better _A. And, also, a few _C's.

And there are _C's who want to be _A's, while ignoring their duty to _B. This guy needs a few more _A's, and either becomes a _B, or an _A. (Or a _D, which is 'goes and does marketing stuff instead'.)

Either way, there is another 'type' of developer, and this guy is an _X. He gets all the _A's and _B's and _C's happily playing together, executing on the plan. He can be an _A or a _B or a _C: he doesn't care, as long as things are executing.
Totally disagree with the section "What’s not part of the job"

Part of any job is stepping up and deputising for your manager, sure if you don't want career progression or want to go into the technical side you could argue they would try and do some of that instead, but if you want to be a senior you have to be a rounded individual that can mentor new starters, help with sprint planning when your boss is not around. Thats part of being a senior, otherwise you are just a good Mid.

The numbers you have found are the numbers averaged over all kind of projects (new projects, old projects). It is well known that the average daily LOC output in the industry is not high. Once a project has reached a certain complexity or maturity, people spend more and more time on debugging, refactoring, documenting, profiling etc.

For a new project, 1500 LOC within a weekend sound possible if the goal is to quickly produce some kind of proof of concept. You would probably spend the following days on redesigning the whole thing, though :)

If so, we must credit academic scholasticism for turning Einstein's simple theory presented in couple of brief journal articles into a 1,275 page book (over 5 pounds!). If those original papers required such a book to make them intelligible, then I would not call General Relativity a simple theory.

The book is of course GR bible Gravitation by MTW.

A few screws to undo the battery cable, then use the pull tabs to stretch/pull most of the adhesisve our from under the battery. It’s about a half hour job and the battery + toolkit is less than $10 on eBay.

- List content of package

Unfortunately not all of these features are directly supported by all package managers.
E.g. package contents for yum are `repoquery -l`.

I'm not from the US, so I don't know about that "RV Culture". But if I'm cynical, it sounds like Amazon is looking for people who can't afford to say no (which is why they live in a camper van for starters...), which is unethical in my opinion.

If I'm being optimistic, they're engaging with a community, who actually loves the RV lifestyle, and wants opportunities like this for limited periods, so they can save up for their "next adventure". I just don't know how working 12 hour shifts while living in an RV is called an "adventure". But hey, that's marketing these days - everything should be (over)sold.

My gutfeeling tells me, that the first is more likely to be the case than the latter, which is just another bad mark in the book for Amazon...
> He isn't sorry for his behavior

"I was a jerk the first few years I was involved in the Minecraft scene, and I'm still a jerk all too often today." is the longer sentence preceding it which is 100% a statement about his own behavior. "for making" actually makes the sentence you're quoting about his behavior too, in my interpretation of it.

It's an apology. Maybe you don't think it's a strong one, or a sincere one, or one backed up by corresponding action, but it is one acknowledging damage done, some responsibility for it, and stating a desire to change (unless you have a wildly different interpretation than I do about what, exactly, "I'm still a jerk all too often today" means.)
Do you think Steve Jobs made contributions that outweighed him being a jerk? I don't think that ever happens, in that I don't think you ever forget someone being a jerk, but then I don't think we aren't capable of appreciating the good and the bad at the same time. There must be studies around this. Maybe someone is aware of some.
Usually those type of people had some trauma in the past or had really bad parent-child relationship (probably abused or something). I honestly think SirCmpwn should get professional help. Mental illness should not be ignored.

It is practically impossible for an individual to make a time capsule that is up to the job. Few artefacts from everyday life can be expected to survive the passage of time:

Even if you did remove the acid from the wood and paper, the sulphur from rubber and pack the whole lot in a nitrogen rich atmosphere, welded tight inside a stainless steel box, how is someone going to open the box in a few centuries on from now? If it could be opened easily then it would not survive the passage of time, if it was fully welded stainless steel then it might survive the passage of time and not be opened due to the required effort.

If they did get in, would that newspaper that some well meaning child put in there be of any more value than the version of that same paper held in libraries?

Some time capsules must be quite a testimony to vanity, no more so than with Scientology. They have all of their founder's writings transcribed onto millions of stainless steel disks and stored in a mountainside vault. This vault is then made so that its location can be 'seen from space'. Handy for passing space tourists wanting to brush up on 'Dianetics'.

Actually, at least according to many transportation experts in my country, there is a certain population density when mass transit stops being effective at all - since too many people want to go to too many different places all around the city. Intelligent individual transportation (e.g. cars mainly from 4 to around 20 passengers) that'd be able to predict and respond to demand (both short term and long term) combined with good subway, light tram and transit tunnels is much more effective once you pass that point. Also consider other factors such as historic cities where a bus doesn't even fit - literally; such cities are all around Europe, hundreds of them. Economic factors such as price per km per m2 occupied could be used to promote ride sharing.

Since the system could be connected to street cameras, has faster reaction times, doesn't drive through red lights and so on, no, it definitely would not be as lethal. The number of vehicles required would be much smaller, so the assumption is absolutely baseless - the common solution to safer cycling is less cars, and that's exactly what would happen. Additionally, most parking spaces wouldn't be needed as the cars could park at a centralized garages (desirable because charging) and the new space could be used to create bike-only roads. Buses everywhere would be more lethal since a bus is a large and heavy vehicle and there'd be too many of them. I'm sure you don't feel good riding a bycicle up to a hill next to a bus - for a reason; at least I don't.
Security by obscurity works, if the algorithm is unknown and is complex enough, so the search space is very big.

It's been the case for a little while. /r/vandwellers has been getting busier and busier, with a lot of new builds. Once you've seen a couple of dozen different builds there, you start recognizing the vehicles on the road everywhere else.

It seems to be an aggregation of a few different communities. There are some people doing it because they can't afford anything else, but also a lot of people who just want a cheap way to travel for a while, people who are dumping tons of money into their builds so that they can join the Instagram community of outdoor photos from the back of your van, and folks who make okay money but want to spend as much time climbing as possible.

So it's probably a little bit related to rising housing costs, but that's not all of it.

You have to remember the impact this has on society though. The vast, vast majority of sexual assault allegations are ignored and this has only started to improve recently.

Ah, finally an example where "the" does convey some extra information. However,

> Bob: I saw the good one.

Weird. Before I read your explanation I interpreted this as Alice and Bob having a prior mutual understanding about which of the movies was good and Alice immediately knows the particular movie he saw. Also, she knows that he decided upfront to watch (only) that movie.

EDIT: last point, if they don't have a prior understanding about which movie is "good", Bob would have to have watched _all_ of them to be able to say "THE good one". (Because, if he only watched a subset, an unwatched movie could be better than those he watched and would make him change his mind about which one is "good").

> she has learned that Bob thinks that there is only one good movie in "those movies".

According to your explanation, she still doesn't know _which_ movie he saw. She knows that only one was good and that it was the movie he saw. But then you could just say "I watched good one".

> "I saw a good one"

.. here, he picked a movie at random and it happened to be good. Yay, "a" does make a difference! :)
