For the most part, Heathrow doesn't do mixed-mode operation (where you have takeoffs and landings on the same runway). However, my understanding is that this is not for safety reasons, but mostly to give people living under the flight paths some periods of respite from the noise. They did use mixed-mode single-runway operation for a while during covid.

The proposed solution of an API with a thinly wrapped auto-generated CLI is not terrible. I have heard it is common within Google, for example.

In the Python world, there are various solutions starting from https://github.com/ialbert/plac or https://argh.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ and moving on to https://github.com/pallets/click or https://github.com/Lucretiel/autocommand and probably N others.

Personally, I prefer Nim to Python which has https://github.com/c-blake/cligen. As mentioned in https://github.com/c-blake/cligen/blob/master/MOTIVATION.md, but not in the borretti article, the overhead of dispatch to a program in shell REPLs can also be thousands to millions of times higher than an API call.
You can do this already.

A bad middle manager tends to be a bad middle manager because they're empowered to do dumb things: set upcoming workload, badger people about adherence to mythical project schedule, etc.

Without that political pressure, I'd trust even the worst IC on my team to serve in a manager role, because the consequences of them doing a poor job would be small.

The Russian public has proven that it can collectively switch to believing whatever needs to be believed in order to continue the war. NATO is simply an excuse to reintegrate Ukraine into the Russian empire that it was part of for very long. When Finland, also on the border with Russia, decided to join NATO, Putin said that there's no problem with that, that it was something for the Finns to decide. Fear of enemies closing in somehow doesn't play there. But Ukraine, where there are millions of ethnic Russians and a similar culture, abundant natural resources, and history that needs to be fixed, is an obvious target if you're restoring an empire.

Your title says you just want to have fun programming but your post is full of other requirements. You need to decide if having fun really is what you’re after—in which case it seems you’ve found your answer—or if it’s secondary to some other metric such as customer reach.

There is always a compromise. No solution is all good things at once, including easy, performant, and cross-platform. If that existed we’d all be on it. You’re clamouring for a past which I’m doubtful truly existed.
Once again a typical tragedy of the commons problem: some actors (in this case, providers) became too greedy, fucked up service for people, and because of the needed defense against such practices now the commonwealth (in this case, the operators of the root DNS servers) suffers.

On top of that come captive hotspot/corporate portals - and here especially, I do wonder why messing around with DPI is necessary, when every public network has a DHCP server running that could be used to distribute DHCP options for gateway URLs or information if the connection is to be considered metered (mobile phone hotspot) or bandwidth constrained (train or bus hotspots).
Well, a new case will start then - reparations for the billions in damage, lives lost and upheaval.

Great article, and I agree that Mutable Value semantics are an underused sweet spot in the semantic space. I’ve been watching Val from afar with great interest.

I do think however that (safe) Rust can be said to have mutable value semantics, if you forget what a borrow “is” you find yourself exactly with a value-oriented language.

The Russian elite aren’t the folks who were pushing for the war. Many didn’t think it would even happen / have a clue that it would happen.

I think you mistake self preservation in the form of support for a war with the will to start one and continue it.

It’s a kleptocracy, most of them just want money. Putins circle is small and most elite had no idea what was going to happen.
> nor am I familiar with any browser reimplementing any feature of the underlying OS.

Well QUIC is replacing TCP for many HTTP connections now, and that’s implemented entirely in the browser. The OS provides the datagram layer but at this point it’s semantics. The bulk of the protocol is in the browser.
The problem is, there is no better approach to check for intercepting middleboxes. Using a well-known path (like gstatic.com/generate_204) works for detecting if the user has a captive portal between them and the Internet, but not if the user's provider messes around with DNS.

It’s not apocryphal. My father worked for the US Navy making training and orientation films; one of these was about firefighting and hazardous materials handling on board ship. It included some entertaining segments — for some reason they use (or used, this was the 80s) pure sodium on some ships and they described the difficulty and danger of storing such a substance. The use of a broom to detect invisible but very dangerous leaks from high-pressure steam lines was also demonstrated.

>I use go but general patterns are welcome.

The basic high-level pattern for self-healing is a process that "watches" the status of other processes and restarts failed ones:

- a "coordinator" process that acts as a "monitor" of other work processes and does regular health check pings. If work process isn't responding, the coordinator/monitor kills/restarts it.

- the work process are engineered to write "checkpoints" of status progress (status file on disk or entry to db, etc). They can have a thread that responds to network pings from coordinator

A lot of systems use the pattern above. E.g. Oracle RDBMS has "PROCMON" process (literally "PROCess MONitor") to look for hung SQL query processes. Erlang/OTP has a "supervisor" that kills/restarts processes. Kubernetes orchestration has concept of "live probes" of the container work processes and restarts broken ones.

That coordinator-process-and-worker-process pattern can be nested into multi-level hierarchies. Inside a single server is a coordinator-process-and-worker-process pattern -- but there's another data-center-level coordinator-process-and-worker-process pattern that watches all the servers.

Also, "Self-Healing" is a subtopic of "Fault Tolerance" so you'd get some more hits by searching for "fault tolerance". I put some links of writings I found helpful on that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33954078

Ok, and then it goes to alcohol, sugar, meat, and fuel as items that people can't help themselves to stop buying?

I mean, this is what consumption taxes do. A tax on sugar makes it more expensive to buy a sweet drink, so you can buy less of them for the same money. By putting it into the programming of the money, you make the control more precise - you can only buy 1 sugary drink a day, for example.
This makes sense for std::vector::operator[], but not for pop_back and push_back - as those don't have any equivalent for a C array. Instead, it's just another example of C++ optimizing for speed as opposed to correctness.
Others has also cleared up the lies and misquotes. Why do you jump directly to tangent lies, instead of dealing with the main argument - that we are where we are because of Russia not upholding its promises?
It’s not, and hasn’t ever really been, just about Ukraine “joining” NATO, because that was never on the cards. It still isn’t, even despite all of this. There’s a lot more to it.

Also you’re incorrect in your assessment of most of the Russian elite thinking this war was a good idea, that’s just not true, or you’re making the mistake of taking statements by them at face value, which my Ukrainian/Russian extended family will be the first to tell you to be careful of.
>The point of open OS is not to force its users to use unvetted apps. It is to give them an option to do so.

And the point of a closed OS is that "giving the option" is as good as forcing the users.

Because third party devs with clout (facebook, instagram, etc and generally anyone whose apps users "must have", even if it's just their bank or local dominant rideshare or chat app) will, given the option, force users to install unvetted apps.
Exactly, and that's why most of Putin's vitriol and propaganda is directed against NATO, because it's a real impediment to them taking it all back.

It's also interesting to see how strongly the Baltic nations and Poland are pushing to support Ukraine, since they lived long enough under the Soviet heel and they definitely don't want to get back to that.

I have no idea what's up with Hungary though.
several (or should that be many?) - for example stoi, sscanf, operator >>(istream &, int &) - there are others.
>> Russia seems to believe it can “bomb” Ukraine to the negotiating table.

> I doubt Russia wants any such thing, they just want their toy back in their pram and the good feeling that having Ukraine under their heel gave them, as well as any useful resources Ukraine might have - agricultural land, seaports, raw materials. Stuff like that.

In a technical sense, I can agree with you. The opening weeks of the war showed that Russia ideally wanted to do to Ukraine what the US did the Iraq in 1990-1991. If they had their druthers, they'd conquer the country without damaging any infrastructure. The only trouble is that Russia's military doesn't have that capability.

And Russia is perfectly willing to fall back on plan b: use artillery, drones, and missiles to level literally every building in the country as they try to conquer it 1 square meter at a time.
They've been doing that for many years now and hosting Nintendo Directs instead.
Agree that Go, among some others (Vlang, Dlang, Nim), that are both compiled and use a GC (the GC of some languages are optional and can be turned off) could be on the list of what's looked at.
I believe the same thing about Rust. It's basically 100% value semantics with borrows being just manually applied performance hack.

And I think it's a wonderful way to code once you wrap your head around it and unlearn Java.

Tell HN: You can get ghostbanned for mentioning certain “unpersons.”
Pardon the throwaway account. I have a good reason.

About a week ago, I linked to an essay on AI written by someone who made a few people look bad, a long time ago, and got himself un-personed here a few years ago. The essay didn’t hit on any of his “touchy” topics and was inoffensive. I didn’t even name him. I just linked to it.

Anyway, I used an alt account for this and I’m glad I did because the account was “ghostbanned”. As in, it looked to me like it had been submitted successfully, but as soon as I logged out it disappeared.

You should be very cautious about what you post here. This is not neutral territory. Who knows what other bad-faith ghostbannings and algorithmic manipulations go on that we don’t even know about?

Seeing how this didn't really happen on Android, Windows, Linux or MacOS, I don't think there's any evidence to support this theory.
It's not how it happens.

You usually democratically determine the process by which you arrive to individual compensation. I've seen an organization to use mix of measuring actual billable output and blending it with time spent on internal company workings, tooling, management and so on. There is usually a way to redistribute couple % ad-hoc, e.g. when someone has financial difficulties or a baby or something.

There is always a financials dashboard for everyone to see and complete openness and even discussion about compensation.

But yeah, I have only see a handful of companies like that. Some were not even worker-owned, but had owners who said "OK, here is a fixed share of revenue that goes to us before you distribute the rest among yourselves" and then let the workers do the rest.
>I have no idea what's up with Hungary though.

The more autocratic a country is the more it is sympathetic to Russia. Autocrats like that autocrats can take what they want.
