> Lots of people choose the cheapest flights possible regardless of other considerations so a significant rise in pilot pay might make a given airline unprofitable since they can't raise prices to compensate.

In addition, certain airlines have the backing of massive nation state funds or are otherwise simply enormous - just like cheap venture capital, they can simply drown smaller competitors, buy their slots and airliners for a penny on the dollar and then jack up the prices. Lufthansa and AirBerlin are a perfect example.
Rust is actually looser than C++ in some respects. For example, there are no type-based aliasing rules to worry about in Rust. This makes writing "type punning" style code less of a headache for me, personally.

$77B is outrageous. We have to fix infrastructure costs in this country.

California would be better establishing an agency that progressively acquires, upgrades, and runs rail throughout the state as a single integrated system. We've been planning CAHSR for over a decade, and yet we still haven't electrified Caltrain, or Capitol Corridor. Incremental upgrades like that and improving curves and so on would've yielded huge benefits for the state by now. HSR would be the natural product of this this down the line when you would simply go the next step of adding a dedicated passenger high speed line connecting the Northern and Southern systems.

Anti-clockwise is the mathematically positive direction. Also, NASCAR.

Confusing to those who navigate by compass, though.

OT amusement: After school and teaching and spending half a career so-encumbered, I took up boating and took a marine navigation course. At first it drove me crazy because all of their + and - direction changes were backwards and I was screwing them up.
Do you have a paper or a link to read this study?
I don't agree, software needs to evolve as its dependencies does. In this case we have fetch, async/await, promises and loads more native features that jQuery hasn't adapted to (XHR is obsolete now for example).

Why include a dependency that the browser provides for free? jQuery was good before ES6/next came along, these days it's extra cruft.

And if what you're saying is true about weird corner cases, people will fix that up in PR's anyway, that's not a reason to stop innovating and just say "meh, jQuery is good enough".

Thank god most software doesn't work your way, we'd probably be stuck in the stone ages still.
Funny you mention that...
He was the fourth ophthalmologist I went to complaining of difficulty seeing. The first three recommended reading glasses.

He, the fourth, was the only one that had me look at an Amsler Grid whereupon, for the first time, I realized my vision in one eye was completely warped. Turned out I had a big blister, more or less, behind my retina.

So, is he old with shaky hands? Yes. But, better an old shaky-handed doctor who knows what the hell he's doing than a young steady-handed doctor who knows nothing.

Pars Planitis is what it's called by the way. A shot of steroid into the back of the eyeball and the swelling -- and distorted visions -- disappears for 6 to 18 months. (You don't want to know how you get a needle into the BACK of the eyeball.... suffice to say, the shaky-handed doctor grabs your eyeball, rotates the shit out of it until you are staring into your own brain, and then jabs you with the needle... all the while saying comforting things like, "Don't move or you might go blind.")

Not a total expert, but as a fan of JQuery I've read the arguments.

JQuery modifies the DOM at runtime, this means lots of node traversals and redrawings on the fly, which make it nearly impossible for the Javascript engine to optimize anything.

More modern frameworks in general use the concept of a Shadow DOM: they keep their own representation of the DOM internally and only send the full frame to the engine for rendering. It seems to be extremely more efficient and flexible.
This can be fixed with early voting and absentee ballots.

I would love to see recommendations for articles like this but for b2b pricing. I suspect there are better ways to price professional buyers.
I think it's generally considered good when you can eliminate a dependency's reliance on another dependency to function. There's nothing inherently wrong with jQuery. If the functionality and size match your needs, there shouldn't be any problem.

This is a straw man. Just because transaction fees were too high for your transaction to be economically viable, does not discredit the fact that bitcoin removes trust in third parties to send and receive currencies.

It is not up to the miners to increase the block size, in fact miners were very much in favor of doing it. Bitcoin has other important constituents (users, core devs, wallet devs, exchanges) that would need to be on board for any modifications made to the core protocol to go through.
They created a whole language to code this..?

Talking about reinventing the wheel!!!
Not only with dynamic types, where more bugs are of the "very stupid" kind.

I run against my rust code, and damm.

However, this also prove how MUCH better is static typing. The rust linter provide hints about more serious stuff, not things that the type system already avoid!
Nobody cheers when the price of staples and groceries goes up...

Because nobody buys groceries with massive leverage over 30 years.

People buy houses because they count on inflation to raise the nominal value of the leveraged asset far more than the interest they pay, and usually in the long term that works out and they pay less than they would renting (not always, and renting has upsides too of course).

"learn the ropes on black and white film, and only then move into color"

Actually, this was because developing color prints is orders of magnitude more difficult than B&W prints. Most of your famous early photographers are known for what they did in the dark room, not for their composition skills. E.g. you can buy an Ansel Adams poster for a few dollars, but an actual Ansel Adams print will run you several thousand.

I haven't seen any material since the digital age took over (sometime around 2000) recommend that photographers start with B&W.
Some side-effects I predict these changes will have:

- With reduced pre-sale tickets available, there will be increased pressure on main-sale tickets.

- With increased pressure on main-sale tickets, the percentage on first time attendees will skew downward even more, I believe around 30-30% of attendees on avg within the last couple years are first timers.

- There will be more pressure to form or join a theme camp, with more focus on DGS ticket sales, which are issues to theme camps in good standing, for the following year they attend.

- With increased demand for theme camps, the average size of theme camps will probably increase as they compete against each other for more interactivity in order to get placement, and have more revenue to out produce other camps.

- Open Camping(non-theme) will probably decrease in the amount of land available, as the Burning Man org tries to off set the demand.

- Open Camping is still very important to the core culture and principle of radical expression and radical self-reliance.

I predict that BM org will lobby the Nevada government for more population count past the 70,000, AND change the layout to enable a larger density of theme camps.

> Abandoning high-speed rail entirely means we will have wasted billions of dollars with nothing but broken promises and lawsuits to show for it.

This seems like a nice adherence to the sunk cost fallacy.

It would be very interesting to see a breakdown of the cost difference to abandon now and demolish vs finishing (including any economy boosts) in the next <big number> years. If it's possible to save money demolishing, I would like to see this put up for a vote and the funds redistributed to something more useful.
Electron is too bloated and heavy, and doesn't meld with the desktop... hey, lets create a new system that uses the same bloated/heavy bits as electron and also the UI that doesn't blend well.

edit: okay, so it doesn't have to download as much since it uses the already installed chrome, meaning you have to conform to ??? from an app perspective to your JS... you may as well just use electron or carlo
Or alternately, you buy from Google, keep up with OS upgrades, and plan on buying a new phone every 2-3 years or so. While not ideal, this is certainly doable.
The posted speed limit is some information, but more important are things like size of the lanes, visibility, amount of other traffic, separation from the other direction of traffic, separation from non motorized road users, curves in the road, pavement condition, etc.

If US-101 in Sunnyvale were posted for 45 mph, that wouldn't be a reasonable and prudent limit; it's got lots of separation and wide lanes, and the pavement is ok -- traffic permitting, you can travel at high speeds. If it were posted at 80 mph, it wouldn't be reasonable and prudent either -- the pavement isn't that great (unless it was repaved recently), most cars would be bumping around too much at that speed.

Moreover, I don't know who would purchase a car that promised to strictly follow posted speed limits, when they have alternatives.

That's what "180" means everywhere. There's just some people who get confused and say "360" when they mean "180".
I think the reason is that many of the problems JQuery was designed to solve (DOM manipulation, cross-browser compatibility issues, AJAX, cool effects) have now been implemented as standards, either in Javascript or CSS and many developers consider the 55k minified download not worth it.

Whoosh!

Bootstrap is going the way of table layouts. Table layouts were great too but times change. Right now we have CSS Grid and it works in all browsers. I am sure they will bring this goodness to Bootstrap 5 but there is no need for the new layout engine that works great in all useful browsers to have a framework wrapper.

Similarly with the jQuery, it was once useful in a table layout kind of way but nowadays you might as well just write ES6 javascript rather than learn how to do things the special jQuery way. Frameworks are dead in a similar way to how the internal combustion engine is.

Using the intrinsic properties of the browser is where it is at in the same way that electric is where it is at in the automotive world. The fact that everyone is stuck with their excuses for frameworks (and ICE engines) does not change matters. Hence I read this news with all the enthusiasm of a Tesla owner reading about Peugeot developing a more efficient diesel engine.

It's not a perfect analogy; a "slave management app" just seemed overly anachronistic. I think the point is clear enough.

Would you be willing to make the same argument you're making for a similar app that allows parents to supervise their children?

Parents get broad supervisory powers over their children. That seems pretty universal and uncontroversial.

Would it depend on the age of the child in question?

Of course. The exact age of majority is not agreed upon even among the most progressive societies. I think we can all agree that parents should be able to make travel decisions for a 12yo. A 17yo is more complicated.

does the consent of the supervised woman matter?

This is a specious line of argument, since the app is being used against women who do not consent.
I didn't knew the meaning of "unicorn" when applied to companies. Maybe I'm the only person who still hadn't, but if there are others - to save them a search query:

I've used bootstrap many many times in my line of work: internal tools and systems for corporate use. I'm not a web designer, neither a full time web developer, so it's really really nice to have a drop-in barebones decent looking and well though interface to work with.
Caltrain is being electrified as part of this. This is an incremental project that costs $77B.
It reminds me of the Principal Skinner meme. "Maybe I'm out of touch... No, it's the Python programmers who are wrong."
Well, the snippet you posted is a sensible immediate step before any dependency replacement.

You replace direct usage with indirection (adapter) that still calls jQuery, ensure everything still works, then swap out the indirection's implementation (e.g. with native DOM functions), and ensure everything still works.

The pattern specifically just decouples the callsite from implementation.
So from +$9B to what? -$100M?

Apple would definitely go to Microsoft to get payment for pushing traffic to their MSN network instead.
I like Bootstrap but I tend to use Milligram for most stuff these days. It's an excellent starting point and easy to extend.

Is it just my imagination or has there been a major uptick in layoffs lately?
Maybe? My primary care doctor is female, so whatever bias using a gendered pronoun might show, at the end of the day, I picked who I thought was best. On merit.
No, I think she just poorly wrote it. "Coming full circle" always means to return to where you started. But sometimes people say "turned it around 360 degrees" when they really mean 180.
>Bootstrap is going the way of table layouts. Table layouts were great too but times change. Right now we have CSS Grid and it works in all browsers.

Which is irrelevant, as Bootstrap is much more than a grid system.

Not to mention it's not meant for the types to mess with their own custom grid layout anyway.
Yet people use Apple Maps because they like the UX and it fulfills 90% of their mapping needs.
I think the main problem with biased-by-intent news is that has less credibility, and therefore (usually) less utility.

If you must cross-check every statement (assuming the cross-checking process is reliable), why bother?

Instead, just pick a team and ignore everything related to that sphere.

Save your brain cells for processing useful information and designing experiments.
Whole Foods is definitely not even close to cheap for groceries. Even when using Prime and the Amazon credit card, it's still a hefty amount more expensive than Kroger, Giant, Aldi, or Food Lion.

For standard grocery items, I have not seen a real difference in quality compared with the grocery stores mentioned above to warrant the higher cost. It's all just branding.

If you really want 'organic', fresh grocery items on the cheap, I have found the Asian grocery stores (Lotte, HMart, 99Ranch) to be the best ones.
This PR is massive and represents a year and a half of work. If you look at the comments you see there are loads of browser-specific issues being fixed. IE support was dropped as they didn't feel making stuff compatible (jQuery did that for them before).

The API is also incompatible; in the words of one dev: "we broke everything".

As one of the commenters pointed out, a lot of stuff was copied from jQuery to make it work.

In other words, this entire effort seems of dubious benefit to me. Whereas before it was "jQuery for EVERYTHING", now it seems to be the reverse: "remove jQuery from EVERYTHING", which is equally silly. jQuery does a lot of useful stuff, and al things considered remains a pretty neat project. It shouldn't be used for everything, but spending loads of time in removing it just because it's no longer the kwel fr4m3wr0k of teh week just seems like a waste of effort.

Hmmm, be careful, because this advice doesn't apply everywhere.

We hire old people. I know we have some past 60, and at least one is about 70. Somebody who decided to "change jobs and tech stack as much as possible" would be not so desirable however, because getting somebody settled in and up to speed will often take roughly a year.

Hi,

Thanks for this reply to this post. I'm an inspiring web/software developer who is currently learning python using the Murach Python programming book who would later transition into learning Django to start building projects.

I've read through some of your posts and you seem very knowledgeable and experienced in the tech/software industry where are you touched on topics on salaries, books to read, freelance contracting or working for a company as a salary individual and etc..

I don't know if I have any good questions here but it seems like with the experience that you could write a self-help/how to book on how to make it in tech or the current state of affairs of tech in general. But that's a story for another day..haha

I think my question is would picking up the basics of a particular language and framework and some small knowledge if an operating system such as Linux be enough for junior level position? Or would it depend on a particular job posting requirements? Or would it be a good idea to just apply in general as some job requirements are not always set in stone and seem a little bit unrealistic because they may have investors and stakeholders have an oversight ask to see how companies hiring?

My apologies for this being a long loaded question any response will be helpful, thanks.

This may be a reach.. do you have email or are you on Discord Chat to discuss more and pick your brain or get any additional help because I'm someone who was trying to break in into the IT software development field. If you see this, feel free to reply any help is appreciated, thanks.

The next recession is on its way.
Ironically, just last week the Green New Dealers said the entirety of the US should move to high speed rail.

One thing climate change debates have taught me is that people generally can't think past implementations and have incredible difficulty updating their implementation-specific mindsets.

Cars and planes have been 'bad' for climate change as they were inevitably burning fossil fuels, so the natural answer was public transit and high speed rail. Today, we have EVs and within about a decade short-haul electric planes (ie, exactly the routes high speed rail aims to serve). The answer to climate change (at least as far as transportation goes) should very clearly be "EVs", with these "electric vehicles" being cars, trucks, semis, and short-haul planes. Unfortunately, you won't see this reflected in GND thinking.

Static types are one kind of static analysis, but there is a lot more that can be done.

A linter can look at anything from micro-quality like "don't use more than one ++ operator at the same line" or "there's an = at this if test, this is probably wrong" to macro ones like "I couldn't prove your program terminates", "I couldn't prove that memory does not leak", or "a deadlock can happen here".

Not OP but the argument is probably that it allows people to experiment, try new things and fail while still allowing entrepreneurs to try again. For example Henry Ford went bankrupt multiple times before creating one of America's greatest(at least in terms of age) companies.
