Writing a parser and saying "I'm dropping support for all these old ways of doing things" seems like poor form.

Unless there is a big reason, never drop backwards compatibility. In this case, supporting all those forms would be very do-able. The best way to support them would be to find some old BSD parsing code and port it, then you can be sure every corner case is handled the exact same way. Handling corner cases differently is a great way to introduce security vulnerabilities and crash/DoS bugs that every user of your library will have to be aware of.

Maintaining such code isn't really a good excuse here either - the code is only going to be a few thousand lines, is self contained with no dependencies, is easy to test, not going to change much with time, etc.

Basically, there is no benefit to removing this feature, so don't break what isn't broken.

> Traditional relational OLTP databases such as Postgres are already faster than dedicated graph databases for certain graph related tasks

It is indeed quite common that relational databases outperform graph databases on certain graph processing problems such as subgraph queries (a.k.a. graph pattern matching). There are two key reasons for this: (1) most graph pattern matching operations can be formulated using relational operations such as natural joins, antijoins, and outer joins; and (2) relational databases have been around longer and have well-optimized operators.

A lot of the value that graph databases provide lies in their query languages which (for most systems) allow formulating path queries using a nice syntax (unlike SQL's WITH RECURSIVE which many people find difficult to read and write). Their property graph data model supports a schema-optional approach, which makes them better suited for storing semi-structured data. They also "provide efficient programmatic access to the graph, allowing one to write arbitrary algorithms against them if needed" [1].

With all these said, graph databases could be much faster on subgraph queries than relational databases and there are recent research results on the topic (worst-case optimal joins, A+ indexes, etc.). But these are not available in any production system yet.

You think a site can't be "popular", "news" and "shady" at the same time?
Similar experience with Wizz. They said that the flight was delayed (5-6h) due to 'unforeseen circumstances'. When I reached out to them for the €200 they claimed that they will not, as it is was not their fault and for security reasons they cannot disclose to me the 'why'.

I got a very close friend working for Wizz. He told me that this is the boilerplate BS email they send to all such requests, to scare them off. Reading it one may thing "oh there may have been a terror-related thing, better not bother the CIA-FBI-NSA-PoPo-MI5-MI6-MI99... and that I should reach out to the responsible regulator and I'd get my money back. Which I did. I included the BS email. I assume the regulator didn't buy the BS email from Wizz and I got paid. 3 months later, but Wizz lying bastards didn't get away with it.
I wasn't saying he shouldn't be compensated. I'm saying the compensation should account for the replacement flight he was provided. (See my edit.) And I'm not "dancing around the semantics of cancellation"—he's the one doing that. The entire point of my second paragraph is to look at it from a more practical standpoint instead of at semantics.
I have a Samsung from 2014 or so and Netflix, Youtube still work great (used every day) and there are dozens of other apps available for all sorts of purposes. My wife uses the national news one several times a werk. And yes I also have a chromecast but the ux of requiring your phone to play something on the tv is vastly inferior to just using the tv. I'm not quite sure what all.the whining about smart tvs is about, maybe it really is bad when using budget tvs, but for mine it has worked great for years (so does the dlna client on it btw; it's a bit spartan but works just fine, and we've watched a lot of content through it).
The reason we want self driving cars is the same reason we don't have flying cars.
No, that's way easier to accomplish.
>a flight number seems like an immaterial bookkeeping abstraction

Not when it comes to airline operations. Crews are assigned to flight numbers; changing their assigned flight number, even to the same route/city-pair, constitutes a schedule change, which requires a recalculation of all their duty hours. When operations are all fubar and your crews are out of position you cannot afford to limit your options. Ergo, changing the flight numbers often has knock-on effects related to the crew regulations that are best avoided.
I use operational transformation (OT) for undo/redo and collaborate editing in an editor that I wrote (for) myself. Inspired by Scrimba I made it so I can "record" tutorials by adding time stamps to the OT undo/redo history. Then when replaying the tutorial/session (which is also voice annotated) you can write code as well while the record is playing thanks to the OT.
MS fails so much because they don’t commit to anything.

Apple took half a decade to do this transition. First including the T1 chip, then slowly growing it, and finally upgrading that to an M1 as they dropped the Intel chip.

And that’s just what we say, internally, it surely took more than that.

MS does a quick and dirty attempt at thing, while they’re also trying out other directions. Nothings gonna work if you don’t have a clear direction.

Serious question: why? I think its very useful when an editor in a browser like with Repl.it, GitPod, and this project, but when the editor is running on your desktop using your own browser seems much nicer. You can use all the devtools, extensions, etc that you are accustomed to.

The difference in the semantics is that one legally requires 250 euros to be given to the customer, and the other requires them to arrange a hotel, provide food and potentially issue a refund.

It’s also worth noting that delays currently result in large costs for airlines, and there is already an incredibly strong motive to stop delays and issues happening.

Can confirm this. Here in the wet part of Oregon we go through about 50 pounds of bird food every 2 weeks. We have a feeder outside every window and they frequently have 5-10 birds each.

It's great to be sitting at the desk coding and being able to look out and see a handful of birds attacking the feeder.

- 2-3 Flickers (I've seen at least a male and a female)

- 3-4 Acorn Woodpeckers often we get 2 per feeder and the other birds keep their distance.

- About 20 Stellar Jays. They stick around most of the year.

- Dozens of Junkos, House Finches, Chickadees, Silkens, Starlings, and Red-Winged Blackbirds.

It's pretty crazy watching these little tiny birds get all belligerent at the feeder.
Moving faster.
No, quite the contrary - "popular" and "news" often implies "shady".
The bygone implementers clearly cursed us with their peculiar decision making. Just as we occasionally curse the implementers of the future (either knowingly or unknowingly) with our peculiar decision making.

There is a good reason: many of the unusual forms are unused except as tricks and exploits. The whole internet uses IPv4 classless routing. There is no value in keeping pre-CIDR forms. Graybeards might object because they have been typing "127.1" for forty years. It's merely an old habit. Who is to say how big a reason is required to "never drop backwards compatibility"?
Well, see, that's the thing...there's never an example—until someone makes one. Microsoft could have been that someone, but they were too afraid of taking the risk.

Exactly as mdasen said: they wouldn't commit to it.

This is, of course, unsurprising, as Microsoft has a long and storied history of refusing to take real risks and only going into significant new territory when Apple has already paved the way. But that doesn't make it less of a fault in Microsoft.

Here in the colonies, most of the left regards libertarians as right-wing (and a good chunk of the right considers them to be left-wing).

It's illustrative of why simplistic right/left labeling is at best useless. You have to evaluate individuals - and media orgs - at a much more granular level. At minimum, three dimensions - natsec/defense, economics, social.
IPv6 has internal ranges defined just like IPv4 does - anything in an internal range should be blocked, and anything in an external range is safe to pass through.
Same here, although my degree didn't require maths A-level.

There are times when I wonder "hmm would I have known this alreay had I done A-level maths at school?" but that I think is general imposter syndrome more than anything. At least for me, I've never needed anything particularly special maths-wise for professional work, apart from derivatives for ML/AI and even that was just academic-self-pleasuring from the course I took... no ML library requires you to mathematically prove something before you can use them (at least not the ones I have used)
Using Stadia, I actually can see how it could be the future, but only once internet catches up.

I recently moved, and that's what made Stadia so much better. Now that I have gigabit fiber with unlimited data, and a WiFi 6 router, with less congestion, the quality of the streaming has been superb. I honestly can't tell I'm streaming. And the convenience of just starting immediately back into a game, no download or install, no updates, freedom to change screens at a whim, from PC, to TV to phone, to iPad, etc.

The only thing missing is for it to have much more content, and for some guarantee from Google that it won't be killed off.

I tried other similar services, like GamePass and PSNow, but they don't work as well, the streams are lower resolution, seem to have more artifact and the latencies are higher. So whatever Google is doin seems to be working, that said the game selection is so much better on PSNow and GamePass, and the option to install the games (which gives the best image quality and lowest latency), they still compete with Stadia.

At this point, I'm just hoping some more reliable company then Google comes up with a service that's just as reliable, maybe Amazon Luna will be it, or GamePass streaming could get a lot better, or PSNow, but the one I'm most hoping for is for Valve to get onboard and offer a Steam streaming service.

Edit: I also wish they added RT support, I feel a cloud gaming service should offer best graphic settings at all time, since that's one of the advantage I'm looking from it, paying monthly for hardware that gets kept up to date.

Not sure if I agree. European YouTube channels are doing the same. It’s a general trend, not specific to American productions. The real reason is the incentives that content producers are subjected to. Notice how YouTube algorithms have promoted thumbnails to include faces. TV, documentaries and the likes are subjected to viewership and engagement metrics. Things have gotten worse over the years.

There are still a lot of great YouTube channels - Applied Science, Tech Ingredients and such. Nationality has nothing to do with this. 1970’s American television was amazing. Watch some Bell Labs videos or how Saul Bass did branding.
The author is misinterpreting the rules by considering his delay a cancellation, which has a different compensation structure.
It's the same issue with phones. If manufacturers settled on a hardware configuration that prioritized hardware compatibility and discovery like x86 computers and ARM servers do by implementing things like BIOS or EFI, ACPI, unlocked bootloaders, etc, we'd be able to treat these devices the same way we do with our desktops and laptops.

Theoretically, we'd be able to download some generic OS image and load them onto devices like we can with Linux ISOs and x86 laptops whenever manufacturers decide to stop supporting older devices.

Instead, each device is a custom hardware configuration, with peripherals hardcoded to specific addresses instead of attached to enumerable buses.

Unfortunately, it's much cheaper and easier to design custom SoCs with custom bootloaders for each device than it is to go the compatibility and discovery route that x86 manufacturers did decades ago, and that ARM servers do today.

Sadly, as manufacturers turn to custom ARM SoCs for laptops and desktops, they're also walking away from hardware compatibility and discovery, which means that the days of being able to load generic Linux images on your computers are coming to an end.

For example, with some ARM Chromebooks and all ARM Macs, you can't just boot a generic ARM Linux ISO, because ARM SoCs are custom and unique hardware configurations that lack ACPI etc. This is the reason you need to use a custom Linux image for Raspberry Pis, instead of using generic ARM ISOs like you can on ARM servers, and it's the same reason that a lot of work needs to be done before Linux will work well on M1 Macs.
You don't know me and there is no way you infer that about me from the 3-4 online message exchanges we have had in this thread.

> potentially catastrophic consequences of the cabin pressure system failing at cruising altitude, I considered that everyone on the plane had been very lucky.

The cabin pressurization system failing at cruising altitude is one of the more common types of aircraft incidents. That's why planes are equipped with systems to handle it. While a catastrophic outcome is not impossible, it is exceedingly unlikely.

As to the compensation issue, airlines should be required to pay out the compensation automatically, with 3x the compensation automatically due as a penalty if the customer has to make them pay through the courts. This would remove the incentive to make it hard for customers to claim the compensation.

Given that I by now unfortunately have a decent understanding of the compensation rules, if I have a claim that I'm confident about and the airline doesn't pay immediately, I'll take it straight to court. If in a jurisdiction where they have to pay the lawyer fees, I'll have a regular lawyer handle it - no need to let an agency take 30% if you know you'll win and a lawyer can make some money (driving up the costs of misbehavior for the airline).

For consumer lawsuits you can often sue the airline at your local court, which isn't overloaded.

Hydrogen is abundant in gas clouds, in Stars, and gas giants.

But unbound molecular hydrogen (H2) is basically nonexistent on terrestrial planets since their gravity is insufficient to hold onto it.
I meant immaterial to the passenger, not immaterial in absoluteness. If the airline changed the flight number but still flew the same passengers to the same destination at the same time, you wouldn't say the flight has gotten canceled, right? I'm saying caring about the flight number is breaking the abstraction relevant to the passenger. The passenger isn't purchasing a flight number; he's purchasing a flight. What matters to the passenger is that the flight happens, not that a flight with a particular number happens.

In the US, 4WD (4x4) means when the system is engaged, the center diff is locked. Sometimes there'll be some combo of front and rear lockers or LSD units, but not always. When engaged, the center diff is locked, so these systems are typically only engaged off-road or in snow.

And AWD is any system that drives all 4 wheels permanently. In fancy systems, the ratio sent to front vs rear might vary from 50/50 to 0/100, but it's always engaged to some extent. These systems are safe for regular on-road use.

Pick-up trucks and truck-based SUVs usually have 4x4 systems (with a few exceptions like the Land Cruiser and Lexus GX which are both AWD).

Cute utes and cross-overs, plus the odd-ball sedans and wagons (Subaru, VW 4Motion, Audi) are usually AWD.

Edit - as noted in a sibling comment, the line has definitely blurred with fancy electronically controlled and viscous couplings, but generally "truck" = 4x4 and cross-over/wagon = AWD.
I think people only say 'partner' when they specifically mean 'romantic not spouse'. I'd say it rarely means 'business partner' these days. People would generally say 'co-founder' or something instead. Are people even technically partners in business anymore? Makes me think of Marley and Scrooge.

It generally means 'boyfriend or girlfriend' but over the age of something like 25 when boyfriend or girlfriend starts to sound a little awkward to some people's ears. People get married a lot later these days, or not at all if they don't wish to.

Of course people may use it to mean anything they want. But it's simple - if someone refers to their guest as 'partner' do them the courtesy of also using that term.

In past posts on this subject people have noted two problems. The first is that some smart tvs refuse to complete the setup process without an internet connection. Until the setup process is completed, you cannot use the tv. A few people also mentioned older smart tvs effectively becoming bricked because the manufacturer's servers were shutoff, which put their tv into a mode of demanding internet access or the user couldn't use the tv. The second issue is that some tvs will connect to any open network it can find. If your neighbors or anyone nearby has an open connection, the tv will make use of it. Some theorize that eventually smart tvs will have cellular modems included, so they won't even need to use your home network to phone home. Don't believe any tv has been seen in the wild with a cell modem yet.
Not all European countries have class action lawsuits.

This is something to be fixed through regulations. If the rule was "customer has to be provided the compensation to their means of payment automatically, if this is not done, the compensation triples", airlines would quickly find a way to make it happen.

It's not a software bug. People did this sort of thing before fingerprints. It used to be fairly common for immigrants and refugees to not know their birthday. The beurocracy was often unable to cope with that idea, as they wanted to use name and date of birth as the unique identifier. A lot of people just made something up to make immigration happy, which then resulted in problems down the line as they didn't recall what they made up.
Absolutely, or they'll introduce latency that makes video playback fine but gaming unusable.
I worked on Google Fiber wifi routers ~5 years ago years ago and got to be one of the earliest dogfooders of Stadia. My personal take at the time was that gigabit internet needed a killer app, and cloud gaming could be it. Glad to see that dream being sort-of realized!
GeForce Now is great and you use games you buy on other platforms (eg Steam). Unlike Stadia, if the service doesn’t pan out you still have games, and access to much better sales, it’s also $5/mo and can handle Cyberpunk. I don’t see anything stadia offers over GeForce now.
