Exactly this.

The Langewiesche legacy goes back to his father Wolfgang Langewiesche, who is also a terrific writer, incidentally about probably still the best book about flying fixed wings, Stick and Rudder (1936).

But flying has moved on a lot since then. Although I also appreciate "The story of Mel", computing has moved on so far from moving some bits and bytes on a drum memory, that I absolutely prefer someone writing readable code today to someone who produces unreadable, but performant code (spare a few niches of inner loop optimization).

The same goes for flying back now and then. When there's not just "Stick and Rudder" in a modern airplane, but caring for massively diverse aspects such as ATC, passenger air quality, airspace control or fuel optimization, I don't need specialists. I need competent generalists.

Of course it makes for a nice hero story if a pilot just makes it to the runway because they took an airliner into a forward slip like the Gimli Glider, but the point is that they absolutely should not have to.

Humans are not meant for sensing to fly. The average VFR pilot loses not just orientation, but control over the airplane an average of around 178 seconds (!) after going into a cloud.

We need less heroes and more engineers who can build reliable automated safety systems.
Two things should be noted:

1. `bumpversion` is more general and has more functionality than `semver` in the article
2. `bump2version` is the currently maintained version[0]

I currently use `bumpversion` to manage versioning in applications with many different versioning schemes as well as managing the versioning of their deployment environments (such as updating Terraform files, etc).

Watching acquaintances raise funding around metrics like “viewership”, “engagement”, “reach”, and “accounts” has made me especially weary of companies espousing some kind of Golden Metric (big red flag if they don’t mention earnings/money) as a means to justify they are an awesome business.

It’s just too easy to “fudge the numbers” and give the very-best-case estimates that don’t incorporate uncertainty or sensitivity (or reflect reality). It just takes some non-half-assed due diligence to do a sanity check.

> ”We had 100k new users signup in January”

> “How many were still active a month later?”

> ”... 17k”

...

> ”Our users read an average of 12 stories per day”

> “What counts as a ‘read’?”

> ”Spending at least 3 seconds on a page”

It never gets old the stretches people will make to try to pitch something that is in desperate need of legs to stand on, so whatever metric that looks the best is the one pulled out of the hat.
Even .co.uk that has a healthy level of UK product, does not let you exclude "Amazon Global" .com items as though you would be quite happy to pay £30 shipping, VAT and import fees on branded £50 jeans. IIRC you can't exclude global marketplace from search either. eBay has a UK only tick box.

Mostly there are aren't too many Global items, but in clothing particularly they can crowd out the rest, and seem to intentionally block the exact same item if it's not directly from Amazon UK. It can be quite frustrating, particularly as many are stuff UK used to carry. Though it's not among the main contributors to why I rarely use Amazon much at all any more.
I'm sure that's true. I'm also sure I don't want the stress of having to prepare for a court case.
The assumption there is that the ordering of the students by performance is stationary, particularly in the first few years. Regardless of personal situation.

If a child catches a flu at the wrong moment, it will get stuck way below its level for all its career.

Khanacademy data has shown that students in a math class will progress at different speeds at different times and that their "ranking" can invert multiple times over a school year or beyond. It's not exactly the same, but their system makes sure students don't stay stuck.
Flash is the reason I’m a developer. I’m a self studies software developer. I wanted to become a screen designer in the early 2000 but also liked to bring the pages I designed to life. JavaScript for interactive content was impossible to use for me. I stumbled upon flash and was hooked. I started of with simple timeline animations, learned to structure and control the whole player from one script file. Learned basic OOP concepts and with AS3 the lot of OOP paradigms and patterns etc. I had a 3 year fun period with Flex and moved finally to mobile development. I never regretted to spend so much time on this now dead Technologie. I can still draw from my experience even when it comes to thinks “how not to do it”. I have to work Indirectly with Unity now. And it has it faults as well. I often joke that I preferred flash over it. There was only the Textfeld implementation to work around ;).

> It's the same thing around passwords. People don't use weak passwords or reuse their passwords because they don't know any better, they do it because they do not care about whatever is protected by the password.

This is quite often false from my experience talking with people using bad passwords. The most frequent reason seems to be a basic misunderstanding of the problem, i.e. "But who would ever think of trying and manage guessing CowMilk76$ as my password."

So it mostly boils down to not being aware of computer assisted cracking, let alone modern cracking techniques with rules and statistics. They are imagining someone targeting them specifically, using their own hands and imagination. From that perspective, it is quite ludicrous to think someone would be able to crack CowMilk76$ as their password practically.

Why are you spreading this lie? It’s very well known by now that Telegram was primarily developed in St. Petersburg, in a building shared with VKontakte.

> What can flash do that modern browsers can't?

ensuring that the user sees the exact same thing on any browser / operating system combination ?

Just the font rendering differences between windows / mac make it impossible to create text that is supposed to fit perfectly in a given box because hinting differences may mean that you are a few pixels longer which can change the layout of a paragraph, etc...

In fairness, the stuff with a half life of 24,000 years isn't that radioactive/scary.

It's the stuff with half lives of 3-300 years that you need to worry about, really.

Compared to its activity a month after being removed from the reactor-- spent fuel loses 90% of its activity in 80 years or so and 99% of its activity in 200 years, at which time it's still about 150x as active as the original uranium ore (which itself is 6x or so diluted, so about 25x as active as the original uranium)

I hate that iOS downloads the updates in the background and uses up data quotas without warning and without consent from the user. The only solution to prevent inadvertently updating is to go to the storage settings and delete the downloaded update, only to have it get downloaded automatically again in a matter of days or weeks.
Couldn’t read their article because I couldn’t even get passed their cookie consent page:

> You can choose here if you would not like this session tracking to occur.

Does this mean I’m opting in or out? To compound things the options are “yes” and “no” rather than “opt in”, “on”, “enable” nor any other the other verbs typically used on other sites. Which means I have to navigate their maze of double negatives to understand what I’m electing for.

I really dislike sites that employ this kind of language anti-pattern.
I like to build my own PC and also help friends. Most PC gamers also build their own PC. Most parts come with instructions and almost all pieces fit nicely, its kinda like building Lego. I switched to Linux a couple of years back. But last month I helped a friend build a PC and when installing Windows 10 it just said "missing drivers" with no clue. Then my friend went to a computer shop and they installed Windows without any issue.

They don't always remove features. Really it's more about making the comparison between the products just fuzzy enough that the other retailers can't give the manufacturers a hard time for offering Costco a cheaper deal. And in some cases just trying not to devalue their brand elsewhere.

Costco doesn't sell the same Dyson vacuum as everywhere else -- instead of a "Total" they sell an "Absolute" or some other equally confusing nonsense.

The difference is they remove a single (non-motorized/cheap) attachment, and throw in two different ones and a couple other accoutrements. And sell it for $100 less.

The part that's not included in their package can be purchased retail from Dyson for less than $100.

Other retailers can't use this to put pressure on Dyson. Dyson doesn't look like they're overcharging everywhere else.

There's a very strong argument that wealth inequality does in fact cause problems like systemic homelessness. One person hoarding massive amounts of wealth generates a much smaller number of jobs and opportunities than many people having a moderate amount of wealth. So, maybe they do cause these problems.
It's even worse than that. SOMETIMES there's a "show only sellers that ship to $FOO" option, but not always. Terrible experience.
So many companies sunk investment with no returns, so many people lost their jobs trying to figure out what went wrong...
I appreciate the sentiment. It's one of the most notable distinctions to be seen between junior and senior positions in almost any area, at least where the titles have been appropriately awarded.

A junior will create the thing or carry out the task that's asked of them with but are often tone deaf to the context that surrounds the request and outcomes desired. A senior will implicitly addresses the wider context, asking probing questions to that end, without prompt.

You can also apply this concept in the opposite direction, to aid in understanding systems you encounter. Considering it within the context it operates in, but also what the intentions were of whomever created/deployed it. Considering both angles usually leads to far better understanding in less time.

Are you being deliberately obtuse? Choice of which browsers to develop for. You had to support IE6 back in the day. Now you have to support Chrome. When they do weird shit you can't say "well that browser is broken", you have to work around it.

Surely most people here are old enough to remember the days of IE6? It wasn't that long ago.
I don’t have the exact numbers but there is an underlying issue with sweetened, unsweetened but sweet drinks. The amount of sugar is unusually high. For example take a sweetened ice tea [2] 500ml and a 500ml smoothie [1]sold in the stores. They have the same amount of equivalent sugars i think its 10%+. If you buy anything with sugar included Or not take a look at how much sugar it has. i point this out because innocent are happy to point out that there are no added sugars yet they end up at the magic number for sugars.

I have quit sugar, for more than a decade now. I do eat sweet food but it’s sweetened by me to my taste. I do enjoy fruit which works with my active lifestyle but i believe sugars need to be regulated and this plus taxes on sugar content are a great move.

> Personally, I feel Google's sluggishness to enforce update policies or change how Android works is out of fear that Samsung will break completely and launch their own app store and not have the Play Store, or rather Play Services which is what Google needs if they want to power many of their online platforms (where do you think Google map road conditions come from?, Or that feature that shows how busy restaurants are?). Without play services on every Android device, Android looses it's profitability.

Hasn't Samsung already tried that with Tizen (and didn't do well), which was also put on its Gear smartwatches?

Hm? Who pays for "views"? I thought ad buyers insisted on paying only for click-through, as a minimum.
> Strange, nowhere in the article does it say how did they know that the views where inflated by 150 to 900%. How did they even know, without Facebook admitting it?

> I don't think they did

From the complaint at https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5004295/d5cb8373-...:

In September 2016, the Wall Street Journal revealed that, for the past two years, Facebook had been overstating the average time its users spent watching paid video advertisements. Based on information from advertising agencies who had spoken with Facebook, the Wall Street Journal reported that Facebook’s metrics had been overstated by between 60 and 80%.
In response to the media attention, Facebook admitted it made a mistake, but emphasized that it had only discovered the mistake “about a month ago,”
…
Internal records recently produced in this litigation suggest,
…
Facebook did not discover its mistake one month before its public announcement. Facebook engineers knew for over a year, and multiple advertisers had reported aberrant results caused by the miscalculation (such as 100% average watch times for their video ads).

It seems that advertisers saw things that were obviously incorrect (e.g., 100% average watch times). Some kind of weirdness eventually led to a lawsuit. During the suit, the plaintiffs found evidence in internal documents that indicated that at least some engineers in Facebook knew there was a problem and maybe knew the magnitude of the problem. I wouldn't call that "Facebook admitting it". It sounds more like Facebook handed over some documents that they were legally obligated to hand over and then some lawyers read the documents.

If you're curious about the evidence, most of the court documents are public and available online, although the smoking gun on the percentage appears to be sealed.
The problem with an HOA isn't that none of them can ever be caught in a state of not being literally on fire. It's that they generally have the power to do things that will mess up your life even though they shouldn't have that power to begin with, and one can turn from benign to malicious in a short period of time without an individual homeowner being able to stop it.

If the federal government is too big to be effective, an HOA is too small to be effective. They generally don't have the resources to make decisions carefully or fairly -- or if they do it's because you spent the time yourself and then the problem is they're consuming your life. But the decisions they make are nonetheless consequential to the people subject to them, so they can easily make your life hell by forcing you to choose between stupid nonsense and spending many hours of your life fighting to prevent stupid nonsense.
The article is written by implying the wish of the author is the wish of the users. No, users don't want updates. They get annoyed.

I am on Android 10 and honestly I wish I didn't update. The update bricked by phone until I went in the bootloader to reset it to delete my data. Was it great to have it on day 1 (essential ph-1)? Maybe 5 years ago I would say yes, but now no. It wasted 2 hours of my time. Next time I will buy a phone with a good camera instead.

My experience with Android 9 was similar, but didn't break anything. The UI changes were just not good. I personally know the reason (worked with some of them) - all (unfortunately really all, no idea why this wasn't fixed) designers at Google are Apple users and have a bit if Apple envy. Apple can change the UX for everyone and make users get used to it (even if it is less efficient for everyone, which it is). Why wouldn't Google be able to do it? So Android had the best app switcher, but converged to the iOSish variant. I wish Google would just ignore Apple like Microsoft does it in their Windows.

In a similar way, most journalists are Apple users and there is one "right" way to do things. So we get this nonsense in articles and blogs.

I discount Trader Joe’s since they don’t carry branded items other than wine and beer.

They carry a variety of branded items including Kerrygold, Tilamook, Rouge et Noir (Bay Area cheese maker), those kringles, Spindrift, Columbus (lunchmeat), those organic herbs, and Tom's of Maine (hygiene). There's probably a few more.
A data point: I graduated but didn’t build a network at all for various reasons.
So Google would need to allow scraping of search results? That would be a huge change, they currently prevent that pretty aggressively.

I don't know about the whole book or how it compares to other textbooks, but as someone who didn't really know what exactly Groups, et al. were, I found that first page of Chapter 2 to be very clear and to-the-point. I'm sure not everyone learns the same way, but the way that first page didn't beat around the bush at explaining what Groups, Monoids, and Abelian Groups are seems to really appeal to me.

Then again, maybe I just haven't experienced better material on that topic. Do you have any suggestions?
Interesting, the most common narrative in most circles is how OYO is cheating its hotel partners left, right and centre. Basically, the OYO model is quite simple. Small hotels should upgrade their facilities and services to be in line with OYO standards (this upgradation is financed by the hotel owners).

With this new OYO branding, it provides new customers to hotels. Better services would mean more customers and a higher revenue, right? But this ends up killing the hotel's regular supply lines and traditional channels.

The real issue for hotel owners though is that while upfront OYO promises monthly payments higher than their current revenue, this seldom happens. Also apparently OYO is always late in paying dues and adding unsubstantiated penalties. Most news is littered with such examples.
