I'm currently consulting on a project with Alaska Airlines and I can tell you that it's complex, but not in the way math or physics is complex. There are just a lot of details and a foundation of legacy going back to the 60s. For example, the details of EDIFACT[1] leak out far and wide, and the codes are still essentially the same. For example, the codes on a boarding pass[2] are essentially unchanged.

I don't know for sure that Lisp would be required (for the functional aspects?), but I can see the appeal.

As far as lack of documentation, it's not really any worse than any other field. Sometimes there's huge, detail-filled document from some organization like the IATA, with lots of revisions, sometimes the documentation is out of date, and some times it's missing. The worse problem is that all the original knowledge retired with people long ago, and the game-of-telephone version we have now is also walking out the door, because of pandemic-related disruptions in the travel industry generally.

It's a huge industry, and airlines are motivated by both profit and regulation to accommodate all kinds of things you wouldn't necessarily think of.

Speaking of profit, yes, extra bag charges, seat changes, and upgrades are explicitly revenue generators. They aren't just covering the extra cost, airlines will upsell you a variety of extras (would you like fries with that? some dipping sauce maybe?) in pursuit of profit.

You don't need every satellite to be broadcasting the L5 signal to benefit. In fact there's probably diminishing returns, you really only need to receive one L5 signal to do ionosphere correction
"Alternatives" imply on a formal definition, with strict semantics. IAFAIK, there is no such thing. But most of those kinds of diagram existed before UML, and are designed in very different ways on different contexts.

Specifically for sequence diagrams, it's common to replace those lines with bars where you can annotate the state, and it is common to have actors instead of endpoints defining the bars. But if you are relying too heavily on those two, it may be interesting to look at process diagrams (but not strictly BPMN).
This is caused by pagination. Without pagination, there's no pages that can get out of sync.

More specifically it's caused by offset pagination. The kind of pagination where you track "user is 90 items deep into the list" or "user is 3 pages into list and each page is 30 items"

Alternatively, index based pagination works by going "the last item the user viewed was id=12345". With this model refreshing the view won't cause a change, but the downside is you lose an easy way to tell the user how many "pages" deep they are. Even though "pages" is a flawed metaphor in a dynamic stream of data, users still like to see "you're on page 3 of 1 million"

Also this is only considering "append-only" style lists. Like comments sorted by time, or a list of versions of software, etc. If your list is dynamic, like the pages of Hacker News, where isn't ordered consistently but is instead a dynamic order or has mutable items, pagination will still be inconsistent.

If they are so good at central planning, why do both Amazon and Walmart have 3rd party sellers?
You're probably not suffocating under scope, you're suffocating under State.

OOP helps encapsulate state to make it more manageable.

I am starting to reject OOP because I find working at reducing state is much more fruitful than encapsulating it.
Sorry, to be clear, this person ascribed their good qualities to Oberlin.

This class, and many of Erik Demaine's other classes, are taught in a "reverse lecture" style, where the lecture videos are recorded once and released online, the students watch the videos beforehand, and then come to the classroom to solve (often open) research problems collaboratively.

I believe the video you were looking at was recorded during the 2010 instance of the class, and then released in 2012 for the next iteration of it.
I get why the discussion is a lot about the books for children and not teens, because those bans in public library seems ridiculous.

But i have an issue with banning the books for teens. I admit i did not read a lot of those in TFA (two, maybe three, i'll have to look at the title translation), but at least i read some, and can compare to a lot of books i read when I was a teen. The comparison makes it even more ridiculous to me.

I have the distinct impression than those moms advocating for the ban just didn't read a lot of books, to be perfectly honest. It's not a dig, i have friends who don't read, and when i first met my now best friend, he had only read a single book in his life, at 15. But if they did, they would know that exposure from books is a lot more soft than from any picture, video, sound or real life. And sometimes, it leads to "wow, that's what he meant" epiphanies, which are the best.
How many immigrants do you think grew up the same way? Hint: almost none, as the United States is the only country that enshrines true freedom of speech as an unalienable and fundamental right.

This is probably considered "hate-speech" in this day and age, but immigration, shockingly, has cons as well.
A common thread I see is a lot is people conflating freedom of speech and having a platform (more specifically an online one). Forcing private entities to host speech they don't want to goes against what I define as freedom of speech. Everyone should be entitled to speak and have their own ideas, no individual or company should be force to spread them.
You don't need to run a script with sudo to use docker. This is targeted at tech-agnostic users, really odd misalignment of goals to ask folks who don't know what they're doing to 'sudo run.sh'.
Grain of Salt Warning:

Even in engineering, where the problems are much easier, most published papers are ... not valuable. "The literature" is a very mixed bag, and it takes years to learn how to find the relatively few papers that are good for anything at all.

Those problems can't get easier as the subject of study becomes human beings rather than EM waves (or whatever).
It's worth digging into the methodology here: the study participants were found through Mechanical Turk, and the proxy for cognitive ability is a vocabulary quiz. You can just as well use this study to show that the kind of highly educated people whose circumstances are dire enough they have to work for pennies an hour have been socialized into giving correct answers about questions pertaining to freedom of speech.
For sure, it could be used that way. But, a lot of people were comparing this unfavourably to how they currently manage their dev workflows. My point was that they weren't really the target market.
I think the internet has caused an uptick in people who make free speech seem like a bad idea tbh
> I wish someone can mentor me to takes notes and make understand the value of it.

Here's how I look at it. My programming notes have 2 purposes. #1 to keep me on track. #2 for a concrete log of events. I then rewind, playback and observe what and how I was thinking (almost like debugging by reading logs).

#1 helps with focus. I waste way too much time trying new and shiny libraries, reading articles, etc without making progress on the task at hand. If I simply focus on the task, I don't learn new things. This helps me find interesting tools, libs etc. and come back to them later. Also helps to organize important things first.

#2 Helps me find patterns. In the type of work I do, how I approach them, what I was thinking yesterday, how I debugged something 2 months ago. It has made me an overall better, or at least it gave me a feeling that I was getting better. Both are worth the effort.

So when you start, you will either overdo or underdo note taking. Both ends make the resulting notes less useful (usually called "waste"). Getting it right is a matter of knowing which end you are starting, make changes, see results and repeat till you see no improvement.
Not sure when you think this shift happened. HN intellectuals migrated from here almost 10 years ago. I don’t think the atmosphere has changed it’s always been a young loudmouth group. Dang is a recent entry in the compendium.

HN has never really been a highly intellectual place simply because a number of key subjects, viewpoints are off limits. Inability to at will gracefully discuss sensitive subjects basically means we are all pretending to believe what we say. I don’t know what cognitive ability research says about people being able to separate their identity and worldview from what they say, but there you have it.
Only one of things you listed (revenge porn) is actually illegal. Republishing publicly available info nor calling someone a bad word is illegal.

But to be clear, just because we're not talking about government abuse (i.e. violating the First Amendment) doesn't mean that "there's nothing there for speech to be free from." The mob can be just as dangerous as a out of control or abusive government.

First, the right to freedom of speech only enshrines a right which already existed and which the Founders wanted to ensure would be protected to the greatest extent possible. The free and open exchange of ideas in an open society. Because you cannot have open and honest debate without the free and open exchange of ideas.

Second, we have seen recently that, if someone dares say something that a particular group of people don't like, then they had better prepare to be doxxed, deplatformed, harassed, and for people to harass their employer until they are fired from their job. All while those harassers profess that "freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences".

Those "consequences" are nothing less than outright intimidation and suppression of the free and open exchange of ideas. And they can be just as damaging as arresting someone and locking them up.
Many companies own patents for many different reasons. Has Percona ever actually asserted patent rights? I can't think of an instance where this is the case. They have also made major independent contributions like Percona XtraBackup, to name just one that many MySQL users know.

Also, if we all avoided companies and products that have patents, wouldn't that rule out owning a mobile phone?

Disclaimer: We're Percona partners and Peter Zaitsev is on our board. I endorse the view in his article without reservation as you can probably tell. ;)

+1.

One of the best books explaining the abstractions and layering involved in Computer Systems. For some reason not many people know about this.
"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." - Attributed to Voltaire but actually from SG Tallentyre 1906.

I think the desire to restrict other peoples speech is relatively new because the internet was relatively new. 50 years ago, you didn't see corporations able to effectively silence people as much as you do now.

A more accurate quote for todays crowd may be "I disapprove of what you say, and I will fight to the death to stop others from hearing you say it."
One interpretation I've been entertaining: In the modern world, we have recently realized that speech is more complicated than people exchanging ideas in a civil manner, and that speech has the power to influence consensus reality through second order and higher effects. (Think: phenomena such as "self-radicalization"). This leads to decisions to simply restrict speech rather than deal with the complexity.

I am not entirely convinced that restricting speech is the right move. I think if anything it creates division. Either way, we'll most likely see how it works out in the next few years.
Additionally games at this point are effectively incomplete and "Day One Patches" are leveraged to get extra time to fix bugs.

Now mostly this is leveraged to finish up the online features (ie. pvp), as one obviously can't play online without connecting to the net, and then that's an opportunity to download a patch. However, these patches do have other fixes and surely there are some companies that are leveraging this significantly more than others for general fixes that have nothing to do with online features.
If I wanted to manipulate public opinion and had infinite resources like the Chinese government does I certainly know how I'd go about it.
Thank you for posting that. I learned a lot!

Like many (most?) Westerners, I obviously appreciated the anti-colonialism aspect, but had no idea about all of that other context.

I am deeply appreciative.
> PLUS _unbounded_ billing

Disclaimer: I work at AWS, but not involved in billing. The below is my personal experience having dealt with AWS outside of my current role there.

I agree its not worth it if you're just hosting a static page, but if you're using it for other development it can be worthwhile. (I have to admit that Cloudflare/R2 is looking promising for static hosting, although workers seem a bit more limited than lambda. Definitely an interesting ecosystem to keep an eye on)

Even thought it has unbounded billing, in the case of mistakes or unexpected surges, they're often willing to assist and even nix charges. Ultimately, they'd rather you continue using the service and pay future bills than have you quit while they try to collect on a bill you can't pay.

On my personal account, I have billing alerts configured low, and its billed via SEPA from a separate bank account that I use just for cloud providers (N26 makes it easy to configure a separate account with a distinct IBAN). In the unlikely event goes over the amount I have in that account, it'll fail to charge me and I can look into disputing the charges.
So AT&T doe snot offer seniors discounts. They offer AARP members discounts. Should be an easy win for T-Mobile. But with the law, nothing is ever easy
Had no clue. Thank you.
Not by taking someone's right to free expression. That's not an option only because there's no way to decide who decides what speech is ok. As soon as you go down that road it will eventually get abused.

The problem I believe is that people don't understand that freedom and security not only don't go hand-in-hand, but they are often diametrically opposed. We can do something about direct or indirect inciting of violence. Being bullied, trolled, harassed and doxxed may be illegal if it can be shown that violence toward an individual or a group was the specific intent. But offending someone is not enough, at least not in the U.S.

Other place, certainly. Many places have laws against insulting another person, offending their dignity or decorum <-- I'm literally quoting.

However, America also has a long ways to go with regard to freedom of speech.

In 2022, the U.S. ranked 42nd in the "Reporters Without Borders Press Freedom Index"

Very sad.
I watch an youtuber that makes videos about life in Japan and he mentioned recently about how this drives the direction of his videos against his will. Despite producing extremely high-quality videos, every video is accompanied by clickbait titles and the classic "=O" idiotic face thumbnail. The quality contrast between the cover and the video is immediately clear once you start watching the content.

He mentioned that he despises this with every inch of his being, but is forced to do so because YouTube's algorithm would dump the video otherwise.
Apparently it keeps people on page longer which is good for ad supported businesses. It’s user hostile though.
I have now stumbled onto "libreddit" [1].

> cloud Light: no JavaScript, no ads, no tracking, no bloat

I have been an addicted reddit user since before they had user accounts. I never had any desire to block reddit ads until the last ~6-12 months or so when it would autoplay ads when I scroll. I have "no thumbnails" so it doesn't show me the ad other than a line of text or so. I have "old" reddit enabled on my account -- this works for desktop. And now I've started using the explicit "old.reddit.com" on mobile. But I would prefer mobile-optimized reddit without audio ads. I will probably give libreddit a try.

EDIT: of course, since it's privacy focused I can't login to my account and reddit is unbearable if you try and use it without your account to curate the subreddits. Whoops, scratch that idea!

That's right, nothing to be done. Humans may or may not have caused climate change, climate is a complex, chaotic system, anything that a corporation or wealthy person might do is really quite pointless. The only thing for the rest of the citizens to do is put up with it, or move.
Anyone with experience using an apple watch on ultras or other long sustained athletic tracking?

Overall, I expect the article headline is accurate. I used my Garmin 955 extensively for the Longs Peak Summit (keyhole, 12 hrs) and it had the vast majority of the charge left. And I was using maps, GPS, etc during the climb. I've not seen anyone suggesting that the Apple Watch can compete with this. But, perhaps the ultra version will significantly boost the battery.
Where did the intellectuals from 10 years ago migrate to?
It’s not 1993 any more.

The arrival of a globally ubiquitous internet, and the subsequent introduction of social network feeds that insist Helen and Walter encounter five pages of engagement bait if they want to get updates on their granddaughter, have made the consequences of “free speech” less obvious to many people. Speech has qualitatively different impact than it did 50, 100, or 200 years ago.

So people are stepping back and considering whether the same thinking that applied to local marches, print journalism, and cable news still makes sense in the same way for what appears to be a different landscape.

Maybe you think that’s a dumb question, or maybe you already made up your mind about it, but when context seems to change dramatically, people are bound to revisit old conclusions. You can be frustrated about that, but you can’t avoid it.

If your own conclusion is important to you, you’ll do the best job advocating for it by understanding why reasonable people are revisiting the matter, helping them see why free speech is still vital rather than shaming them for being reflective.
If you're interested in the effects social media has on political and civic life, these are two great books to read. One is recent, the other is a foundational classic of social psychology:

- Zeynep Tufekci, Twitter and Tear Gas, The Power and Fragility of Networked Protest (2017).

- Erwin Goffman, The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life (1956)

Goffman uses a theatrical metaphor to talk about how our behavior and social life is affected by our perceptions of who the audience is for our actions. Zeynep writes about how the magnifying and flattening effects of social media have been both a help and hindrance to large-scale organizing. Both are wonderful books.
Some blockers I've encountered after spending a lot of time in FreeCAD:

- No built-in assembly workbench. If you create more than 1 object, there is no way to align/attach them together. There are several competing, incompatible, and buggy plugins.

- Topological naming problem is way worse than in paid CAD software. It's very difficult to edit old constraints without breaking new actions as they're replayed: https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Topological_naming_problem

- Software dependencies are not included. Essential features like viewing the dependency graph (to unbreak your model; See above) are broken out of the box. You have to manually install specific versions of tools like graphviz (no, not the same version used by all the other software on your system) to unbreak these features first. Same goes for rendering images, exporting to some formats, using some mesh generators, etc. You really get the full "linux desktop" experience even if you are not on linux ;)

Analysis Shows 'Quiet Fleecing' of US Workers–Not Quiet Quitting–Is Real Problem
Technically there's a third, Travelport, the smallest, and there are a few others that serve regional markets.

You're right that existing GDS systems have done nothing interesting for decades, though. Did you know that Sabre charges their customers on a per-API call basis? Airlines like to minimize the number of times they call into Sabre for that reason. You might imagine that the Sabre people are not especially motivated to make their API simple and modular enough to lower the number of calls required.

It still is a virtue and a right in the US. Freedom of speech is not about giving every idea and every person and equal platform to spread their ideas. It's not about forcing others to host/spread ideas they disagree with. I think the internet has given people a warped sense about what freedom of speech is. We have no less freedom of speech now than we did before social media/internet.
