They're taking reservations months ahead of time. It's not as if they can magically know what staffing they'll have in 3-9 months. I'm effected by this, but I bought my ticket in September. It doesn't seem reasonable to require any business to know for-sure that every employee needed to run a flight in December will be there in order to sell it in September.

Anyone can quit, die, or become ill at any time. If they had to contract every employee into a binding contract where they must fly a given route on a given day at a given time, we'd be howling about how they're abusing their employees, and in fact that's not far off from what everyone's been complaining about the railroad industry doing.

Predicting the future, even a few days at a time, is always best-effort.
I completely agree.

One letter names are a code smell I associate with the nastiest bugs I've experienced especially when the git blame shows multiple authors on it.
It's a good idea to practice if you're trying to get up the nerve to make the jump to a better job. But during a job search, you'll either get so many rejections that you'll get back up to speed quickly enough without needing to also obsess about it while you're employed, or you're hireable enough that you didn't need to worry about it either way.
La Guardia doesn't operate in a vacuum. It's too small for long range aircraft and increased traffic at LGA would create problems for JFK and EWR. Besides, the runways at LGA are much shorter than those at JFK, EWR, and extending the runways at any of those three is problematic. Even SWF has longer runways.
Is “Middleware” the name of a graphics library? Or are you talking in general, saying that using an intermediate library is better than using the platform’s API?

The intellectually honest thing is to assume not that the author is maliciously incompetent, but that you, the reader are missing something and inquire with the author about sources or reasoning for claims that contradict the apparent scientific consensus.

If the author doesn't respond to such an inquiry within ample but reasonable time, then you can go loading up the shotgun with accusatory birdshot and take it to the court of public opinion.

That's the last resort.
Inspiring. Thanks. I noticed you said WebGL.

Am I the only one who uses a development Nomad cluster to solve the exact same problem? Not sure what this and other tools suggested in the comments here have over Nomad.

Nomad can schedule anything: random JAR files, scripts, Docker/Podman containers, firecracker VMs, you name it.
There's also the fun wrinkle that not all crews or crew members are current on ratings (ie training courses) to operate all types/versions of planes the airline as in service.

You also need sufficient open gates of the right type in the right place during the right time window or you idle a plane (which can then idle a crew). It's pretty easy to imagine how such a system which may work at a certain level of load can be tipped into a runaway scenario.

As a systems person I'd be an interested reader if Southwest were to someday release an incident analysis and post-mortem of the type that good IT organizations do.
"Not criminal" doesn't mean "not illegal". Breach of contract is a civil matter (in general) but it's still normally described and understood as illegal.
Rather than just being dismissive and expecting everyone to already agree with you, perhaps you could actually explain what problem you're seeing here?
If a criminal did that kind of damage to other people we'd be happy to commit them to a long stay behind bars. The fact that it is all bought and paid for makes it legal, but that's a flaw in capitalism: legal and ethical are very much disjoint concepts and you can do a lot of damage in a purposeful way that you'd never get away with otherwise if you have money and an army of lawyers.
I've always thought the caching Rails added was invaluable most of the time. Granted I've also worked with plenty of people who don't even look at the query logs and wonder why their API's are slow

I love Age and have been a fan since the early releases. The fact I can encrypt a backup against a SSH public key and just push it in a non trusted cloud is so damn convenient.

I know it would also work with openssl public key cryptography but openssl is always a hassle to work with.
I mentioned this in another thread, but Southwest feels like they fuck up in ways that are understandable, if unfortunate. Delta, United, American and co. feel like they intentionally screw you out of perverse pleasure and a desire to cause you pain.

Southwest's seating may be chaotic, but it's not United where you have to pay an extra $60 to not get a middle seat, likely in the back of the plane.
My P14s Gen1 AMD (very similar to T14) with Debian still has this problem. 2 days unplugged will drain the whole battery and turn off. Maybe it's because I kept a Windows partition around?

Of course not, but the techniques seem to work reliably when tested on known prompts. I see no reason to doubt it.

How about "naturalism", "materialism", "physicalism"?

I think the most fundamental belief behind that worldview, is that the most fundamental theoretical entities of physics (whatever they may turn out to be–particles, waves, strings, branes, forces, fields, etc) are the only ultimate reality, and everything else which exists somehow grounds its existence on them. The non-existence of God is merely a consequence of that fundamental belief, not a fundamental belief in itself. "Naturalism", "materialism", "physicalism" all do a better job of naming that fundamental belief than "atheism" does, which is a word which refers to a non-fundamental consequence of it.

"Antisupernaturalism" is another option, albeit it has the disadvantage of being purely negative, whereas I think this worldview actually makes positive claims about the nature of reality and what can be known of it.
It would be nice if they could offer an option to avoid roads with histories of crashes (like tolls and ferries).

One example I have is there is an intersection on my way home that Tesla maps (and Google maps) wants me to turn left at. The problem is that its a left turn without a signal, across 4 lanes of traffic with limited visibility. This is a recipe for crashes, and I've seen multiple crashes here. However, if you go 1/4mi out of your way then you go under a bridge and wind up at an on-ramp to the same road .. no left turn needed.

It took me a while to discover this route when I moved here. It would be nice if there was a "safer route detected, +1 minute" option presented to me.

I use iOS instead of Android because of the box. Apps that don’t look like the box art stick out like a sore thumb on iOS.
I hope that this will be used in the future as an example of why MBAs don't always make good CEOs. You may be the best person in the world when it comes to managing a company, but if you're not knowledgeable and passionate about the product you're making and/or selling then you're going to not do very well. Off the top of my head I can think of 2 more examples: Apple before and after Steve Jobs returned and AMD before and after Lisa Su was appointed CEO.
Cool, and feel free to drive that freedom car in your freedom yard. Please keep your freedom emissions in your freedom air though instead of polluting your neighbors. When you're driving on the public streets there's more than just you out there.

Freedom includes doing things that others don't like --- and tolerating the opposite too. Otherwise you're just encouraging an authoritarian socialist dystopia.
There's no empirical evidence that the world continues to exist when you close your eyes, it's just the most natural interpretation of our best available mathematical formalism.
I mean the devices themselves.

When you visit a site, details about your device are sent to the webserver, such as screen dimentions and resolution, processors, gyroscope information (orientation of screen), location, default language, and more, so the website can cater to you - rendering it to a good fit for your screen, using a protocol that works with your GPU, with relevant ads, etc. This data is called your digital fingerprint.

Companies that deal with high security data (banks), advertising profiles (google), or bot abuse (everyone), will store the fingerprints to every device used by you on their webservers, so they know if it is a new device and to throw a captcha, 2FA, etc. I refuse to give out my number to most sites, which is sometimes the only 2FA option, so for most of my stuff, I just don't use 2FA.

Despite knowing my password and passing 5+ captchas, having a different fingerprint and not having 2FA was too much for gmail and it decided I was still not verifiable. Idk if they decided I was a user in constant attack or something, but even when I had the old laptop they were always slow to accept that I must be me, making me fill capchas everytime and reinput my password.
> Indeed, when people say "let's keep politics out of it", they're in effect trying to quell any challenge to the status quo, which arguably is inherently political, and this should probably be called out more often.

This is a pretty uncharitable take, and one that I see too often.

I could just as easily say that people pressure others into turning every space political because they feel entitled to dominate every space with their politics, and they cannot tolerate any kind of truce or neutral ground. It's just another tactic to control the conversation.
I spent time at the Walnut Creek one -- it was a good execution of a kind of obvious idea. It was weird that they shut them down. That said -- smaller versions of the same format in airports/commute-centers would be great.
Academia is an anachronism that survives due to network effects. Accelerationism makes sense here.
If this isn't by design, it's by very happy accidental engagement with the fact that when it comes to media and related things, the time physical copies of it matter most are gifting-times. It just feels more genuinely gift-y to hand someone physical media than message them with it.

And B&N has become a media-heavy giftshop.
What is the alternative? Extensive playbooks for every possible scenario that may or may not make sense in the actual scenario because a few critical details are different? A "mission-control center" is really no different: it's just people making stuff up on the spot.

In the end, there is no substitute for human judgement in the situation itself.
Pascal arrays can use any sub-range of an ordinal type as the index. You should define the distinct type of the index instead of using integers then you will get an exception if you attempt to use an out of range index.

> That’s a good point; you could definitely argue that the agreement was made under duress.

If people involved in Mango governance were defending against a claim from Eisenberg, they wouldn’t need to, because illegality would be a stronger argument.

If they were defending against criminal charges from the government for the illegal agreement, they wouldn’t be able to cite duress, because as a criminal defense, duress requires an immediate threat of death or serious bodily (not financial) harm. It’s the literal “gun to the head” defense.
Quite popular in Portugal, I have several VHS tapes from his concerts.
I read the book. I think it's fairly obvious that the research he presents is pretty speculative. That said, it's a very popsci book, which is not really where you should be getting your facts from. It's fine, and was an interesting read on the current state on some theories coming out of Berkeley.

Ironically, this is why i really liked Freakonomics. All the studies they uses were just Levitt's studies, and you could just look them up and read them. I recently listened to a podcast criticizing the book and I couldn't even take it seriously, because you had a couple of laypersons who are politically aligned against the Chicago school and use that for the basis of their criticisms. I though it such a hilariously terrible "trashing" of the book that I couldn't stop shaking my head.

If Books Could Kill: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5wHpooGMRsSBrUHhQZbOZp?si=4...

I would prefer if Walker provided the citations for what this author is asking for, but the entire point of a popsci book is that it's not a scholarly article. Walker isn't a doctor, he's a PhD in neurophysiology. I think the criticisms are warranted, but I think it's glaringly obvious from reading that the book isn't a work of serious scholarship.
You missed my point. I don't disagree that as long as you're good at hammering, it doesn't matter if you learned it by hammering on the job or because you love hammering so much that you kept doing it by yourself. My point was that some people don't have hammering as a goal. Some people's goal is to make money, and some times that's best achieved by hammering, some times that's best achieved by sawing. But the people who hammer because they like it will try to hammer even when sawing would be more effective.

As others have said, you are ridiculously oversimplifying the process.

If you are running a little video game that plots flight charts, sure perhaps you could write such a script. You cannot, however, script a bunch of logisitics support together across disparate, independent, multinational airports.

Add the obligitary paperwork (we don't really want to be shipping people around in coffins, enabling human trafficking or illegal substance smuggling, trust me), and add your standard bit of managerial incompetence managed from an excel document and sharepoint, and it's actually downright impressive if it's only a couple days to completely reboot the system.

Arguably, management doing the standard "oh that will never happen" is probably why it's not even better - you would think the airports would be able to automatically "fix" themselves with a self healing protocol, but that was probably deemed too expensive and left out of the feature set.

You can avoid the potential for death by slow exhalations and other breathing techniques that have been shown to stimulate the vagus nerve.

I think you severely underestimate the horror of knowing that your loved ones wanted to kill themselves, and didn't. Suffering is a state of being; death is an instant.

Of course those around them are allowed to say "please don't do it" -- but the person who's making the decision might still choose to do it. This is true, independently of whether assisted suicide is on the table. Regardless, getting to have an open conversation about it will be a better starting point for healing, for everyone involved. You can't say "please don't do it" to a suicide note, or ask it further questions so that you can better understand why they made that decision.

You have a profound misunderstanding of how most assisted suicide laws around the world work. Doctors are not demanded to do anything, and certainly are not held to any obligation to end the life of anyone who asks them to. They evaluate whether the request has validity based on medical criteria, and deny it or accept it on that basis. Doctors who object for religious or moral reasons are usually exempt from participating in it altogether. They definitely don't have to do it for people who aren't terminally ill -- although in some legislations, they might be allowed to.

I'm also unsure what you believe terminal sedation and cessation of treatment are. Death is definitely the expected result. Or rather, death is the means to achieve the desired goal, which is ending the patient's suffering -- just like with assisted suicide.

You speak of statistics where people have abandoned their wish to die and lived long lives. Did they live good lives? Can you, personally, promise to everyone in the world seeking assisted suicide, that if they do not follow through, they will live good lives? That their continued suffering will eventually end, or that it will be worth enduring?

I think it's the least you can do, given that you've talked to a dentist once or whatever, and that apparently gives you the moral high ground to make that decision, on behalf of all doctors and of all people who seek assisted suicide alike.
These clever physics toys from the past each demand at least a 10-minute educational youtube video of their mechanisms.
I don't believe you regarding "as safe as Rust." It's been a minute since I've messed with FreePascal, but as far as I know and can ascertain at a glance, it lacks any true modelling of memory safety to even match Go, and certainly not memory ownership to match Rust. It is surely possible to write correct programs in Pascal, and maybe even easier than C, but it would not be accurate to describe it as "as safe as Rust." It's not really even close...

Don't get me wrong, though. I do think Lazarus/FreePascal are underrated, but some of these claims are exaggerated. FPC generates good code, but on par with GCC/LLVM? I'd guess it's probably sitting closer to Go in terms of performance characteristics. More than good enough, but surely a ways away from the ridiculously complicated optimization systems in LLVM and GCC which aggressively vectorize, constant-fold, DCE, inline calls, interchange loops, and so forth.
Overbooking is a thing, but this isn't a consequence of overbooking.
To respond to some concerns from marginalia_nu, I've spoken to Guzey once remotely and keep up with his writing from time to time. He is certainly not one to Gish Gallop someone, and generally I've been impressed by his forthrightness.

Furthermore, Walker is aware of all the concerns raised in the original article (it was released a long time ago, not sure if it has been edited since). I dimly recall that most, if not all, of the concerns raised by Guzey turned out to be true. Walker essentially got away with it anyway. There's also a debate between the two of them on some British radio station, I believe, though at that point I declined to listen as I knew I'd get frustrated as it was clear you can just get away with this stuff.

What's doubly weird for me is that I spent a year doing research at a prestigious sleep lab when I was studying, and honestly feel that Guzey's writing elsewhere is weirdly hostile to the concept of sleep. I'm extremely careful about it myself, and absolutely have massive performance degradation if I get anything less than eight hours. I,e. I don't even understand why Guzey is so opposed to pro-sleep messaging, but I think that's irrelevant when discussing Walker's conduct in writing the book.

Asking Guzey to focus on just one or two undermines the thrust of his argument. Walker doesn't commit to a few big lies, truth throughout the entire first chapter is conveniently twisted for the sake of 'storytelling' that I saw done constantly in certain academic circles. The disdain for inconvenient facts (and oh boy, some of the graph edits seemed fraudulent to me when I last checked) is unacceptable if you have any respect for your audience or honesty. And I believe there was also a fabricated WHO quote? I just don't see how there can be nuance to this - the only thing I can see Walker hiding behind is a flimsy excuse like "it isn't a journal article". I don't expect pop science to be phenomenal, but I expect an academic not to falsify graphs: https://guzey.com/books/why-we-sleep/#appendix-what-do-you-d...
I do (and it's not VW or Mercedes but Volkswagen Group AG and Mercedes-Benz Group AG), but only because I follow the industry closely, I don't think their CEOs are household names until something goes wrong. Such as 'Winterkorn'. That's a name that probably rings a bell with many on account of the diesel scandal.
Sometimes, emulation is not enough
It's easy to ask, "How could this happen?", but it's also a wonder this sort of thing doesn't happen more often with airlines and other businesses that rely on solutions to complex logistical challenges at their core. Overall, despite the horrors of war, perils of a pandemic, etc., sometime I pause and ponder how remarkably well the world works.
A lot of this is over complicated. You can just ask it to return the prompt.
Honestly if you're going to(hypothetically) rant over the economic system from an extremist viewpoint(like many people on the internet do) i won't be surprised nor blame the employer for not giving you a job in that exact economy you just spent 2k words ranting about; and you shouldn't neither, if you have any integrity that is. Free speech doesn't mean denying any responsibility over what you say, so if an employer refuses to give you the job over some rational reason regarding what you wrote(e.g. hypocrisy in the example before) i really don't think there is anything wrong with it.

Obviously i'm not saying there are no employers discriminating candidates for a political view which may have nothing to do with the job itself, or that they aren't a problem, but i don't think the number of employers that are actually problematic are enough to say that they restrict your freedom of speech. Just find another, and if you can't, well then it's probably on you more so than the employer.
