FWIW, a SouthWest pilot with 35 YOE at the company placed most of the blame on the previous CEO's lack of investment in operations in chase of shareholder profits.

The pilot gave the current CEO Bob Jordan (who started in early 2022) a vote of confidence and stated that he has strongly signaled his intention to improve the state of SW's systems, but obviously was unable to do so before this meltdown.

Wolf warrior is just a convenient term to describe a very nationalistic Chinese netizen. It sounds way more accurate and better than "wumao". We have westerners (and especially Americans) like that as well, so it isn't a very foreign concept. Everything in the popular press is meme driven these days, that's how they make money. Even Chinese media (GlobalTimes) is getting into that kind of thing, though the verbiage used in Chinese state media is typically driven by the state, so sounds less catchy (Chinese netizens are not under any such constraints, however).

The term MSM is pretty loaded, it automatically flags you as a conspiracy theorist Q-anon Trump supporter even if you actually aren't, if that isn't your intention, you should at least be aware of the picture you are painting to others. It doesn't really make sense from a Chinese perspective, where the TVs are all broken at 7PM showing the same newscast.
Our Ford Escape is nearing the end of its useful life, and we are looking into an EV to replace it. Tesla Y is not going to be it, because it's small and expensive, not because of politics. I think a lot of people are in a similar boat, and if a cheaper EV of a similar form factor showed up it would see a ton of demand.
The parent comment said this is vastly overblown, because 'average people' don't know who Musk is.

If 'average people' won't buy a Tesla, then this line of reasoning is moot?

> No one, and I mean no one, flys southwest because it's their choice.

I wholeheartedly disagree. I don't fly SW except to save money, but everyone else I've spoken to with an opinion on airlines loves to say how much they love the carrier.

Coworkers and I went to look at the sea of unclaimed bags yesterday, and I mentioned that SW has drastically underpaid ground crews and have flight crews sleeping in crew rooms in airports, and they said that they'd repeatedly heard how much flight crews enjoy working for the company.

I really don't understand the appeal, but it's definitely out there.
> This is the same class-action lawyer who sued Kellogs for not putting enough strawberry ingredients into their strawberry poptarts

I'm definitely against frivolous lawsuits, but that doesn't seem like a good example of one to me. "Product isn't what it claims" seems like a totally valid lawsuit.
Is "coal running" a non-US term?

Rolling coal is the practice of modifying a diesel engine to emit large amounts of black or grey sooty exhaust fumes—diesel fuel that has not undergone complete combustion. It is a predominantly North American phenomenon (more specifically in the United States and Canada), despite being illegal.

Well, balls. Thanks for confirming.
Identifying a specific Catholic doesn’t help the point you are trying to make. It just makes things more distracting.
Do you have a photo of that? It’s somewhat hard to believe, and I didn’t find anything by googling.
> the latest shenanigans

Which shenanigans are you referring to?
I guess I see it more as a broader economic problem than purely one of individual responsibility. Sure, bad design choices are made by individual teams that could be avoided, but at the same time our industry incentivizes the problems you describe.

Many developers are trying to get React experience on their resume to be more hireable; they do not care whether it's the best solution for the business, only that it adequately compensates them for labor that they can use to sustain their families.

With smaller organizations I think you can better control the motivations behind design solutions, but larger orgs can become a complete mess due to the politics (e.g. tech leadership encouraging all teams to use technology X, regardless of whether it makes sense for many situations). Collectively, these decisions and the resulting norms put pressure across the industry, encouraging certain behaviors and discouraging others.
As an American, I can’t say if it is American only. I can say 98.6°F is the commonly accepted healthy body temp.

I have noticed over the last decade, nurses checking my temp are more likely to say something like “You are 97.6°F. That’s normal.”
Why? "Animal-free" means that animals are free, not taking part in the food.
Not sure it's as cut and dry as "CFO becomes CEO and overly focuses on financials" in Southwest's case.

In 2021, Gary Kelly (former CFO/CEO) announced his retirement and picked Bob Jordan (CS trained, having previously worked on the AirTran integration) to take over as CEO, which seems a realization that Southwest has some serious technical debt to address.

All businesses have highest priorities at a given point in time.

In Southwest's early years, they were legal and operational, hence Herb Kelleher.

2000-2020, I can't say financials weren't top of the list, as Southwest migrated off its older plane models.

2020+, maybe they're technical.

A good company picks the CEO it needs for the moment, not always one particular type.
Sure but Telsa buyers aren't your average Joe.
Europe is divided between countries deeply infiltrated by Russia and countries who can’t wait to escape and write their own futures. UK, Poland, Hungary will welcome fleeing capital. Brexit wasn’t the last exit.

With its anti-business attitude, tiny high-tech industry and lacking innovation and creativity, Europe’s importance in the world is vanishing fast.

The future is in Asia and Eastern Europe. And US, of course.
Sorry, I didn't see this before:

>What do you value most?

>If that level of decision is “above your pay grade,” once you make the recommendation it is out if your hands. And you keep getting paid. Knowing the company made a stupid choice. (Maybe.)

>Is the money enough? Or will this eat at you? Will it keep you up at night?

It's definitely going to bother me. Not so much that my recommendation won't be followed but that working in the legacy monolith is so terrible and takes forever to do anything. And that the end product is bad.

Definitely not worth the money long term but it's not the right time for me to switch jobs. Need to put another year here before I'm in a good position to get a promotion with my next jump.

>Can you implement it without getting caught and without losing any ongoing updates and changes?

Not into production. It's a customer facing app and would need to be hooked into the various user tracking, monitoring, and logging we have. I can keep building it on my work machine without anyone knowing.

>Have you shown the data structure change? Did anyone have further comment?

Not yet.

>And most importantly, maybe revisit this after one of the worst periods annually for productivity. People are on vacation, or dreaming about it. There’s a good chance they are incapable of considering your proposal honestly until, well, early 2023.

Yeah unfortunately that was what happened. A decision needed to be made before the holidays so that we could start building Q1.
They are related. The car-oriented cities that serve as only a destination for car-oriented suburbs. With huge highways cutting up neighborhoods that lead directly into a downtown that is mostly parking lots. See the example of Tulsa, Oklahoma that is fully encircled by massive freeways and half the surface is just parking lots.
Yes, more city housing is the answer.
> No one, and I mean no one, flys southwest because it's their choice.

Everyone in my family preferred to fly southwest (at least before this round of incidents). Among other things, this was based on a history of better customer service especially in extenuating circumstances. They've been at the top of e.g. JD power customer satisfaction rankings for years.

If you're trying to say no one flies economy because it's their choice... I could certainly afford not to, but I _choose_ otherwise.

Text editing: Geany + snippets calling various scripts & programs I wrote

Entertainment: VLC followed by QMMP

File management: PCManFM, especially for viewing PDF covers at beautiful sizes

Phone: QuickEdit+, Spiro (fidget toy), SmallBASIC (+AppImages on desktop), OsmAnd- (hiking)

Terminal:

find . -iname "blah" (find a file quickly. find in general was amazing to me in 2022, with -mtime, -size, and other flags)

du -hs (how big is the stuff in this folder? Ah, that big.)

lsblk (figure out what your linux system named your usb disk, for example)

mc + sshfs (for moving files around the LAN mostly; midnight commander's progress bars are very nice)

Scripting: ABS-lang.org

Overall I give my awards to `find`, ABS, QuickEdit+, PCManFM, VLC, and Geany.

Socially: the never ending euphemism treadmill. A loud, annoying minority taking offense at literally everything to get attention. And also the people claiming to be "empathetic" who fall for their nonsense (note: these people are more suckers than empaths).

Technically: Python package management is a great one previously mentioned. How can it still be so bad?

Additionally, the tech industry's obsession with chasing new, shiny technologies and adding needless complexity. We bolt new thing after new thing onto an existing project and then wonder why it is slow, buggy, and a pain in the ass to maintain.
I can anecdotally back this statement up via experience with frequent flyers based in Nashville.

Myself, I cancelled a Model 3 order and went with an EV6. I already had my doubts, and his politics were the straw that broke the camel's back. If the Model 3 had been a slam dunk purchase, I probably would have still bought it.
Why is empathy "necessary"?

Why "should" someone try to understand rather than judge?

What's the actual rationale for it?

What is the mutually agreed desired result of acting in those ways?

In my mind, I stay away from subscriptions if there are any physical assets or up-front costs involved. Kagi is a good example of a reasonable subscription model. Up-front costs are where companies can really screw you and take advantage of the sunk cost fallacy. That's where I got screwed by Nest. I spent $400 on their cameras, which worked great until Google bought them. After that, no more free storage, the AI automatic object detection went to absolute crap, I have constant authentication issues where the original Nest account and the Google account keep signing each other out, and now I'm stuck with these cameras.

If that's true, and I have no reason to doubt it, the blame will fall squarely on the team who were asking for IT investment, and not the leadership who said no to them.

Saying they didn't have a clue is both disingenuous to those who worked hard on these problems and flat out wrong.

These programs were written for text terminals running over links who's speed was measured in hundreds or thousands of bits per second. The UI had to be as simple and efficient as possible to enable a decent UX over such slow lines. The UI was sacrificed for the UX. Of course after networks got faster these editors weren't necessary but guess what, they were understood, worked and there by default. And they still are. I see no issue with this and learning vi is actually simple once you RTFM.
Fully? No. Mostly, yes. They've definitely taken a hit, but most fliers have pretty short memories. Remember when this happened to Delta a few years ago? Most of the alternatives to SW are nearly as bad. In a year nearly everyone will be back to just choosing the cheapest flight.
I think as soon as people see "verified humans" posting things they utterly disagree with, the temptation to call those people "bots" will be too great to resist. A substantial portion of internet commenters will sooner call a human verification system into disrepute than admit that some real people really do earnestly disagree with them. They'll spin conspiracy yarns about how "the other side" controls the verification process and allow their own bots to participate.

I think the solution to all of this is smaller tight-knit discussion groups where all the participants know and trust each other. Echo chambers will inevitability form. I don't think there is any way around this.
There is a difference between being against cruelty against animals and not eating any eggs.

Hens will lay eggs. That's what they do naturally and if those eggs are not fertilised they will rot and decay.

In veganism you cannot eat those eggs no matter how pampered the hens are.

That's obviously a personal decision, which I respect, but it should also be understandable that many people find this extreme (and not eating honey even more extreme).
My long-term prediction: Rural areas and exurbs will up-class, housing the higher-paid remote workers. The remaining non-farming rural poor will be priced out of these properties and will have to live in cities, in ever smaller apartments and eventually pods. The nice services that often are only available in cities currently will distribute more evenly geographically, negating a lot of the benefits of city life.

This will have some positive effects, like having the countryside and its adjoining natural environments better curated, along with the large underclass masses living more resource-efficiently. The main downside will be that cities will be even more of a concentration of crime and other social ills, combined with worse public infrastructure due to reduced city tax revenue.
No, it's available in generic form.
The Chevy EV SUVs that are coming out next year seem very compelling in terms of price and range. We just replaced my wife's RAV4 with an EV, and we went with the ID.4. You'd probably be happy with that coming from an Escape, though it's still on the pricey side.
Trello remained the most useful and core part of my work and self-management, though it's starting to look a little too busy on the front end.

yes, there is a burgeoning trend of rejecting the digital social dopamine addiction as well as posting more authentic things. I think its a travesty that founders have to identify both the problem and the solution as if they are clairvoyant geniuses in both regards. But good luck.
> It is so hard to get enough plant calories without being bloated and with difficulties digesting

I'm sorry, but this is an absolutely preposterous take. Are you suggesting that the ~80 million vegans and ~1.5 billion vegetarians worldwide are dealing with constant bloating and digestive issues? In fact I'd make the case that a _far_ greater number of people deal with poor digestion due to under-consumption of plants- leading to low intake of dietary fiber- than vice versa.

Also we did not "evolve to eat plants as an option." We evolved from primarily frugivorous apes, so plants were the starting point and the default. And some of the key changes to our biology were to support the consumption of additional plants, not just meat. Relatively large molars, a long GI tract, and enzymes for the digestion of starches.

We are biologically omnivorous, no one should deny that, but to suggest that we evolved primarily as meat eaters is a bit absurd.
Wait until you find out Henry Ford’s politics. Or Volkswagon’s history. Although obviously it’s not as bad as a man promoting free speech and criticizing postmodernism.
I guess it gets perceived as extreme-ish when it becomes an ideology constantly imposed in a combative fashion onto others.

None of the examples in that article appear to use the term "plant-based" on their products, so it seems even those brands were respectful on the term. If anything, that seems like it makes the opposite case of "plant-based is definitionally meaningless."

Three things to be concerned about:

1) Current employer might pay you more, until they can find a replacement. So the wording is important.

2) Have a quantitative number in mind. They need to offer at least 100 for me to be happy. 90 I will stay but not be happy. 89 I am definitely going. Based on the fact that you posted here, you are enough in doubt that a 20% raise would easily tip the scale.

3) Think of non monetary items that you would like. Parking space, breakfast, no overtime or at least no free overtime.

Cities exist to serve people's needs. The 2 existing models are a relic of a low technology past: suburbia with long car commutes to downtown, and dense cities built around facilitating mass daily movement to the office through subway/public transportation. Instead, we need self-sufficient neighborhoods catering to different lifestyles and needs (some higher density and walkable, others still car-centric but encouraging shorter car rides) with limited need for long car rides or large investments in mass public transportation.

I don't think either are _incredibly_ impractical. They're both impractical in different ways to different people. The downsides of e-books are dealing with digital files, the many technological shortcomings of e-ink screens, and the e-book reader itself is a high-value item that attracts unwanted attention.

I understand some of those are hand-waived away on a Hacker Forum full of technologists, but they describe the uncanny valley of e-book reading for many book readers. Your novel's statistics don't surprise me!

That's a (lazy) strawman [edit: because it that has nothing to do with what I wrote and unfortunately also seems to be a common Pavlovian response to any criticism].

Nothing really. The main thing is that it would be very very hard for them to make more of a disadvantage to me than a low tech life would naturally cause.

I'll always be a fan of open source tech, and I 100% support right to privacy in private spaces. But we can't join every single protest in the world.

Five minutes delay fussing with buggy apps could mean missing a bus. Not having Google Services would probably mean I couldn't use important work apps. Not having location history could mean not being able to find something you dropped.

And not using Amazon prime would almost make some areas into prisons if you can't drive.

There are still huge returns to concentrating nice in-person things besides work in one place. Nobody is attending zoos, museums, or restaurants remotely.
Some cities, perhaps. I live in a large (for the Midwest) city in the heartland and previously, being a software engineer around here topped out at ~150k if you had 25 years of experience. (This was literally quoted to me by our most “illustrious” local company, which is just a big government/bigco contracting place).

I got very lucky in finding a highly unusual job paying >>> median wage (but still very light compared to if I moved to the Bay Area). Then the pandemic happened and now in my most recent job search (just completed, I got laid off in November alongside all the other people) pretty much every place offered remote without even asking and I had my pick of pretty much any company I wanted despite my house being literally in a (feed)corn field.

So pretty pumped about some of these very profitable companies finally directing some (prodigious) payroll into my locale. Both selfishly and because I hope it helps inject outside cash locally where it otherwise wouldn’t ever go.
