I think the factor you're missing here is that it's extremely easy to comparison shop flights on price, but near-impossible to search based on criteria like "flights with seats that are comfortable for a 6'2" man" or "flights where there are power outlets under the seats".

I'm a big fan of the No S Diet: http://nosdiet.com/

No snacks, no sweets, and no seconds, except on days that start with S (including "special" days such as birthdays and holidays).

Yes, it's so simple that it feels stupid to call it a diet. It's supposedly how the French and Italians eat, and how Americans ate until the 80s or so. But it probably wouldn't have caught my eye if it wasn't called a "diet".

Part of the "no seconds" rule is that your portion should fit on one plate (within reason--you're allowed to put soup in a bowl, etc.)

It's really just portion control & limiting sugar, but spelled out in black & white for those of us who find advice like "everything in moderation" or "eat when you're hungry" hard to stick to.

And the website is delightfully Web 1.0.

You can also use kubectl patch locally to apply a label to a set of manifests locally before piping into kubectl apply, eg:

Well, fractional reserve lending isn't a useful model for how money is created in the modern economy - bank loans are just a matter of adding an amount to the borrower's account balance and are constrained solely by the bank's judgement of the risk of a default and to a lesser extent reserve requirements imposed by law. The amount of money that is deposited in a bank has no effect on its ability to loan money.

I'm also not impressed by th6 author's claims about the FED not being audited, which is a trope common amongst a particular subset of the right that to the point it's practically a dog whistle for conspiratorial anti-tax and government types.

https://www.theverge.com/2018/8/21/17764424/netflix-feature-...

this article implies that no, it is indeed 30% for any new user, at least for netflix, but then that matches up with what spotify claims. spotify also claims that apple changes what policy applies to each company. it does mention the second year reduction, but that seems to be for other apps?

i think it's at least clear that apple makes it a little unclear what they exactly do. i have heard from more than one app developer (from big companies) complain about apple's arbitrary app store processes.
I've been writing Go for over 6 years. Error handling at the source of failure is a feature, not a bug.

Rob Pike's example code is bad and I would not allow it through a code review. Why? It makes the code lie. It appears as though the writes cannot fail, but in fact they can, and later writes become no-ops. On top of that, it means that you lose the context of which write failed. Did you fail writing the header, the body, or the footer? You can't know anymore.

This is like

try {
doThing()
doThing2()
doThing3()
catch (Exception ex) {
// handle
}

You can't tell what failed. You can't tell what is possible to fail. The handler can't differentiate.

>Because it's technically cheaper to have less workers and to work them for longer hours

That depends on whether fixed costs of hiring another developer (and coordination costs) outweigh the variable costs of the current developers working more. The variable costs could be lesser quality of work when the developer is overworked or overtime laws.

Overtime laws are supposed to act as a penalty on companies for not hiring enough labour for the required task.
What’s the name of this VS Code plugin?
Was that your first hallucination? Sorry if it's too personal, I'm just curious because I thought hallucinations were more common for meth users.
You don't have any issues to deal with. The idea that advertising even works (in the sense that it changes opinions or fosters a desire to buy, where, previously there was none) is really the root cause of the problem here.

Somehow, somewhere, a person once suggested that repetition was a useful strategy for getting people to buy things, and in a crucial moment, when a millenia of person year misery could have been halted, killed in the womb, whoever heard the suggestion simply shrugged, and now, even though I never drink Gatorade, I still remember that it's actually thirst-ade for that deep down body thirst.
I loved FilmStruck and am glad criterion grabbed it.

They are small, so super responsive. I had gotten halfway through a film and was interrupted, came back the next day and it was off catalog, so I gave some feedback about wishing for more transparency.

They sent out a schedule of movies leaving to all subscribes like the next day.
The article makes no such blanket conclusion.

“problems exist” != “gone bad”
As I tried to articulate this I realized that Hulu and Netflix now have the same problem. In netflix, right arrow, up and down always mean the same thing, but left changes meaning in an unpredictable way. In Hulu it’s the up button.

To get out of a list you have to walk off the beginning. In both cases there’s now a very small limit to the number of things you want in the screen because you’ll have to walk back or go clear through to get out. It reinforces having a scarcity of entries or too many subsections.

They should go back to using the menu button to escape out of a subsection. Make the subsection four or five elements wide and continuous scroll. But they keep doubling down on their poor use of real estate. Adding things like auto playing previews that some of us hate.

Hulu used to work like this, which is why I have such venom. My tv had the old UI on it, so I stopped using the Apple TV version for a year or two. But when I got the new TV I was stuck with the awful, and they’ve done basically nothing since.

In CS the only way I found to have even moderately decent traffic flow was to make absolutely every street a one-way street. I don't claim to understand why that helps, but it seems to.

The downside is you have to be very careful where you place your emergency services as you can easily get zones which are too far for firefighters to reach.
I’m aware of the idea of parallel evolution. You’re quite right, it’s entirely plausible and not something we can dismiss out of hand.

With species like squirrels that are more remotely related to us, there is more scope for an argument of parallel evolution, sure. Maybe their similar behaviour developed independently and has a different cause especially when other mammals do not exhibit this behaviour.

With our much closer relatives such as apes though that exhibit so many more behaviours that are very close to ours it’s much less plausible. If all of them exhibit a common pattern of social behaviour with ourselves, arguing all of them could have independently developed this behaviour separately from us and each other, to appear indistinguishable, that seems highly implausible.

Even with squirrels though, as mammals they exhibit many behaviours common to all mammals. Behaviours we exhibit as well. So if all mammals have these behaviours and we do too, if our behaviour has a different cause, at some point our ancestors must have switched from exhibiting the behaviour due to the common mamalian cause to exhibiting it due to this new cause unique to us. I don’t find that account very plausible either.

Did our ancestors stop exhibiting this behaviour first, then develop new neurological mechanisms that happened to replace the lost behaviours? When did that happen, before or after we diverged from other apes? Maybe they have these behaviour for the same reason as us but other mammals don’t? Did we develop a parallel mechanism and the behaviour transitioned to the new causal mechanism? I’d expect to see some residual evidence in our neurology or behavioural patterns of that having happened.

> Consumers are asking for this whilst complaining about lack of comfort - what a insane dichotomy of entitlement and personal choice.

It feels insane, only because the market is inconsistent.

The average family with children that flies a few times a year really do only care about cost. But the frequent flier cares more both about comfort than pure cost. For the wealthy, it's all about comfort.

On many Delta flights the premium economy (Comfort Plus) is sold out 4 weeks in advance. People will pay the extra $100 for 4 more inches of legroom especially if the flight is longer than 4 hours.

How does this work in the presence of multiple return values? Most functions that return an error also return a value on success.
Despite numerous Apple devices I'd never gotten so forceful a push for Apple Music as I did early this year, and indeed Apple has started using tactics that were verboten before, such as push notifications. Of course there is "huge growth", there is a billion devices and they push it with the platform. I do think there are going to be enough people that just don't find it good enough.
"Blockbuster, from what I heard, was pretty data-based with both predictive (demographic driven) and continuous modeling/monitoring of demand for each corporate location (they also had franchises, which may have been different) which drove quantity and selection of stock."

I'm not sure how much that kind of demographic data and prediction/modeling was worth.

Even now, though I've rated hundreds of movies on Netflix, Netflix routinely recommends me movies that I absolutely hate. Their recommendations are far more often wrong than right.

Blockbuster didn't have individual customer's ratings of the movies they watched to go on, and the technology and predictive/modeling algorithms they had access to 20 or 30 years ago must have been far, far worse than Netflix has now.

I believe airlines let you view their movies on your portable device.

That addresses the "new release" concern, but not the battery problem. You also have to install someone's app, if you're into that sort of thing.

Well, you change the culture. Sometimes that takes the form of a religious revolution, sometimes more social revolutions.
And yet I've been on a Delta flight (PWM-JFK) where I got a Comfort Plus seat with my Basic Economy ticket. The outbound leg of that trip I watched as another guy got the same. The flight itself was over 80% full.
This is quite common across all govt services and republicans like to add extra red tape to reduce the number of people using services.
> Consumers have shown that price is _the_ most important factor for choosing a flight.

Is that fair? Whenever I go to book a flight, none of the factors here are even available for my perusal. On any flight booking system I've ever used, I've never been able to sort possible flights by "inches of legroom" or "lavatory sink size". All I get is "Price", and a couple other factors which have nothing to do with the aircraft itself.

Bruce Schneier estimated [1] that 500 deaths a year are caused by traffic accidents, from people who choose to drive rather than fly because of the hassle of 21st century airport security. Technically, these people aren't airline consumers, then, but they demonstrate that there's a large group of people in the market for transportation 'voting with their wallet' on comfort and convenience rather than price or speed or even personal safety.

[1]: https://www.wired.com/2012/04/is-airport-security-killing-50...

Maybe a more accurate (and cynical) view would be: all flights today are a terrible experience, so we might as well spend as little money as possible on them. I might be convinced to fly again if some company would at least try to provide a decent experience.

Speaking practically, I see a lot of modern technologies that converge (very slowly) on the same ideas Alan Kay was talking about as OOP for the last 40 years. Micro-services, web pages with JavaScript, containers, etc. Those things are pretty high-level.

Would be interesting to take a vote from the employees. Would they rather take a collective paycut or have x% chance of getting laid off?
My experience was different, and I disagree with the statement that trying things is always bad.

I tried coke, heroin and meth once each. Coke was a huge let down, and I've had no interest in trying that again. Meth, on the other hand -was eye-opening. I knew from my experience that if I did it again, I would end up overdosing on it very quickly -so I never did.

I'm far from a health nut or religious freak. I drank like a fish for decades, did pot, did LSD. Booze was hard enough (pot and LSD both reached a point where they were no longer fun, so I no longer did them) to quit, I'm glad that was the only thing that stuck.

So yeah ...I'm glad -and lucky, that I had the experiences with the hard stuff that I had. When meth got common it held zero temptation for me, ditto for coke and heroin.

It helps that I have always been poor as dirt and knew that I wouldn't be able to have regular access to any of that, either.
As I understand it, this article's use of the phrase "Coronal Mass Injections" is incorrect.
100% accurate. Passengers hate the AA 737 MAXs. Flight attendants hate them too.
Interesting recommendation. Looking forward to checking this out. I usually hear Schopenhauer or Zapffe as a similar recommendation.
It's probably cramping. Often, when you sit like that, certain parts of your legs end up being under more pressure than their used to (because of the weight of your body on them). If your legs aren't used to it, the muscle tissue can get deprived of blood, which causes them to cramp.
No. The cheapifying has stabilized. At very best, prices are stable.

"Fuck you, pay me?"
Agree with what you're saying, but anecdotally, I just don't live enough in the moment to appreciate spending an extra couple thousand dollars on a flight for 10 hours or so of business class comfort. It's nice if a bathroom sink on the flight has infrared sensors, but it's just marginally nicer for the two times I use it. Not paying for business class, however--that sort of money saved is the difference between splurging or not on my next 5 years of phones and computers.
Huh. Well, it has been a couple years since I last looked, but nothing turned up for me before.

> My suggestion is to try to find a general role on a team supporting a rendering product. And then to slowly move into that type of work.

Not sure if that's in reference to my background or just a general comment. I do have about three years experience doing graphics programming professionally (1 year computational geometry), and many more doing it as a hobby, so working my way back up to it is not exactly an appealing prospect.

I could potentially see that being sensible for me though, depending on details about the job not included in the description. Graphics programming is my deepest specialty, but I am primarily a generalist.

For example, here's a video of the CAD tool I architected, built (the features shown), helped design and hire other developers for etc.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e21tqZebl60

I am actually concerned that the skill set involved there won't be easily usable to by Google scale companies though--that they'd prefer to have a few specialists for the different aspects of the project instead. So maybe this isn't such a good direction for me.
Random observation: Cherry trees have done something brilliant from an evolutionary standpoint - a symbiosis with the most intelligent species on the planet - to appeal to humans as irresistibly beautiful and it will only lead to more cultivation and expansion of the species.
My understanding is that prescription level doesn't even come close to the experience of a meth high due to much lower equivalent dosage.

If someone already took out student loans, car loans, credit card debt, etc, then cutting out the latte (or cable or nail salon or whatever) is something that’s totally in their control and allows them to stop the compound interest on their debt.

E [0] doesn't have classes or inheritance. It has messages and message-passing, and objects are genuinely encapsulated.

A cousin comment notes that true objects are often called "actors". This is fine, but people who do this without an understanding of this history may come to miss out entirely on objects, only seeing what Erlang and Elm have to offer and not E.

As a hint, try removing the meme entirely from your inventory for a bit: For the next week, whenever you think or say "object-oriented", interrupt yourself and instead think about what specific language feature, be it classes or inheritance or whatever, you actually wanted to reference.
