> That said BA earned a hell of a black mark when it chose to divert to Heathrow rather than Stansted or even Gatwick when its engine was on fire

After declaring an emergency, if they landed at Heathrow, that was at the pilot's discretion or due to limiting factors like runway length at Gatwick and the weight of their plane. The article is light on detail but they circled over Kent as well, so the pilots must have thought it was safe after shutting down the engine.
Linux has a problem too. arm64 Linux has very limited browser support. Even Chromium works poorly.

> At about 1600 feet the aircraft was cleared direct to the next waypoint and the first officer attempted to turn towards that waypoint flying manually and without flight director indications (the captain was slow to put the Direct into the FMS) but lost situational awareness sending the aircraft into a descent that reached 3000 fpm sink rate and exceeded the flap speed limits until the captain took control of the aircraft and recovered about 800 feet above water.

Kinda hard to believe that he simply “lost SA”. For an instrument/commercial pilot to lose SA at night on an instrument plan is hard to believe. I’d love to hear the cockpit voice recorder and see the detailed telemetry. Was there a distraction in the cockpit? Interpersonal conflict? A stall?
Pilot fatigue comes to mind immediately. Just reading in AVH that qatar pilots often fly 120 hours a month and in flight rest is not counted.
I recall a moment in history when ffmpeg had some infighting and some dinguses forked off, followed by Ubuntu moving packages over from ffmpeg to said fork in its repos because the package maintainer was one of the dinguses.

So no, Linux is not innocent of the crime of corralling users towards its own interests.

EDIT: Was the distro Debian? It's so long ago my memory is foggy, but it was one of the two.
I don't knock unions but I will add :

> The median annual wage for air traffic controllers was $129,750 in May 2021

SOME unions do take advantage, given the traffic controllers' 'single point of failure' it can be very attractive for some unions who are greedy. Again I reiterate, unions are not a bad idea, just not all of them are solely in the interests of the actual employees.
If only planes had some kind of measuring devices that could tell their angle from the horizon and their speed through the air

While flying manually is important to keep skills sharp, trying to fly this under VFR would not be a good idea
Air trafic controller strikes have plagued our country (France) for many years and I see no indication that it makes our flight safety better

A job is something you do for money. Everyone looks like they're fitting in because they're trying to look like they fit in.

A job is not our natural state; hunting and gathering is our natural state. Anything beyond that is unnatural.

So you do what needs to be done to bring in the money to give you the freedom to do what you actually want to do. Focus on that.

For context I spent 5 years maintaining a small farm while working remote as a software dev. You do what you have to.

Also, finish your degree. Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it. Nothing's stopping you from entering the farm automation game.
The comment section in TFA suggests it's not surprising with Qatar Airlines, or indeed with Middle Eastern airlines (I have no idea).

I mostly think of airline safety as binary, eg passing basic standards or not. Is there some data to understand the shades of grey in-between?
I think the desktop slack app is built on electron so is built to render properly in chrome.
I can think of four options.

1. Give up and work on something else. Don’t fall for the sunk cost fallacy.

2. Keep going, perhaps with a renewed push towards releasing a beta version. Your end users will see the value even if it’s rough around the edges.

3. Join the competition. Maybe you can leverage your work to land a job.

4. Open source. You’ll have your name out there and have made a mark.

> since the daycare cost for two kids can easily be an average salary

Not if your parents baby-sit your kids. And that's the scenario where this is all about. People were already bringing their kids to their parents and then someone said: "We found a loophole how you can get free money for your baby-sitting parent who aren't getting paid. We'll just pretend they get paid.".

What's wrong with more choice and competition? I really don't understand the walled garden apologists. If Apple 'tears down the wall', users still have a choice not to install non-Apple software if they don't want to.
>All others: 16.4%

This whole essay is really just Mozilla complaining that they aren't on anyone's radar anymore and should be disregarded as bullcrap.

Firefox once upon a time defeated IE6 despite home turf advantage, to say nothing of Chrome which played that game even better.

If Mozilla wants more market share, maybe they should make software people actually fucking want.
Platform abuse is still not acceptable and should not be justified. For people stuck in that ecosystem the lack of choice is 100%, relativity to global traffic is irrelevant.
The Blackbox records over the whole flight. I am only talking about the cockpit voice recorder. It's the best indicator to see how something went down in the cockpit after an incident were the flight crew lost situational awareness.

You’ll have a very short list of carriers left not on the list, if any.

Human error happens with much greater frequency in aviation than you might believe - I have experienced some absolutely hair-raising moments (watched Lufthansa lose a winglet on landing while the stewardess prayed, had an aerolinias argentinas flight take off with a luggage compartment still open, and a air Bishkek flight where the wheels locked on landing and we ground down the runway at sheremetyevo on hubs), and have been told tales of others by pilots that I wish I hadn’t been told.

The thing is, most of the time, it’s nothing more than some scared passengers and a messed up schedule. “Almost” didn’t happen.
I am honestly glad that the EU forces vendors to put the customer first. I won't be sad if they force opening of the walled garden that is the iOS app store.
True - without being able to see outside the airplane (because of darkness, clouds, fog etc.) it's easy to get disoriented. That's why airplanes have instruments (the attitude indicator, a.k.a. artificial horizon) that pilots are taught to rely on rather than trusting their own "gut feeling" about what the plane might be doing. Guess this copilot needs some additional training...
That's blatantly untrue.

Firefox won from IE. it successfully broke the IE monopoly and gained significant market share. Then, years later, chrome entered the stage and conquered both.
Absolutely would read this.
Nice, glad to see innovation in this space.

I built my own GUI along similar lines using ImGui/Wasm for personal use; figured that as K8s/complexity already won the mindshare there wasn't much point in releasing tooling for simple (aka unfashionable) tech.

>...(or better yet, Firefox Nightly) ...

I think this is some of the disconnect between users on this site who don't understand why people would possibly actively choose iOS even with the lockin. Most people do not want to use a product that is constantly updating and adding features in that are going to be taken out shortly, for something as basic nowadays as web browsing. If you're on the cool new technology people the average person likes rapid innovations. Once your tech is considered a commodity, then the average person wants a the equivalent of a toaster. Most people do not want to fiddle with their toasters or find out each day what new changes their toaster has. They want to put in bread, and get out toast. For browser, most people want to just be able to navigate to a handful of websites.

The restrictions are a feature and not a bug.

Flight safety is about keeping up with a large number of factors. Someone surely has collected accident rates by region, nation, airline, etc.

Basically only airlines in advanced western nations get an automatic pass for me, the rest treated with suspicion and research if I had to fly with one.

Timeline should probably start with Linn 9000.
If the exception is something you can handle at that function’s scope, just put it inside a try-catch. Otherwise, let it bubble up and let it close the transaction (or however you want to handle that). If anything, I feel it is easier to do with Java than in, say, Haskell though I will add that my experience with Haskell doing db queries is limited.

Yes, of course there are. Now, imagine you're a language model, and given the prompt "I'm going to write code to explain what a finite summation is", try to predict the probability that what follows is "and I'm going to do it in Idris".
Shocking, and why it happened in the first place. Not reporting and investigations a near miss automatically is a strong signal of bad systematic safety problems.
But there must be something before ≈ nginx as well right? Something something BGP to route it to the closest POP? And when you have traffic to a single pop that are multiples of what even the beefiest machine can handle, something before the machine must load balance it I guess?
I think it can go either way (and at Meta, I have no idea), but team size tells you nothing. You can have a team of 4 highly productive engineers working on a specific project with limited scope and 1 manager can manage that very effectively. But you can't have that manager manage two teams, you're literally just splitting their focus (and with 4 people the manager can be hands-on). On the other hand you have plenty of teams that were at one point 4 productive people, grew to a team of 10, now the manage is very productive! Managing a team of 10 people, but in reality that team of 10 is now struggling to work efficiently and are probably producing the same value as the previous team of 4. The management structure is entirely determined by the underlying scope of the work that needs to be done - and yes, very often it goes astray, but in every direction.
I know it was a Gulfstream, but I referred to it as a “Learjet,” because that’s a more well-known term, and it really doesn’t matter to most of us mensch. It’s like calling a Fuji copy machine a “Xerox” machine.

> Tests can help reveal when those types of dependencies break, but even so, I would argue that is brittle code held together with cling wrap. The fundamental problem is still there.

Sure, however tests failing after refactoring or removing seemingly unused bits of code will be a great way to figure out when one's assumptions about how everything works are mistaken, or to discover bits of code that one wasn't even aware of.

Along the lines of: "Oh hey, our tests caught that removing this seemingly unused dependency from pom.xml will break PDF export logic, because for some reason it loads classes dynamically and needs that package" or maybe "The tests revealed that our latest refactoring breaks JSON serialization of dates, because while we should be able to use these annotations for our Dtos properly, the underlying framework gets confused because of our serialization library."

The worst cases are where you don't have the tests and things break in ways that might not be immediately obvious. Such codebases will make any attempts at refactoring unsafe and inherently stressful, that's what I meant with brittle - you'll never be able to change anything whilst having confidence that things won't break all over the place.
without having read the article, I for one am happy that something is holding browsers back. One can only imagine what they would do if they had even less constraints. Everything these totally garbage softwares do is abominable to the core

I hope this isn't a ridiculous take, but even if Azure or any other cloud solution is used in healthcare, I would strongly hope that it isn't put in a position so critical to the point where it would literally lead to deaths if it were down for a while.
It really seems that way. We are using a bunch of microsoft azure "maintained" stuff, but they don't update their products and seemingly noone is making sure that shit works intended. This results in us building our own stuff and defeating the purpose entirely.
In the US and plenty of places the airline regulations are strong and followed well. NTSB reports have nothing to do with shareholder value and FAA directives are followed. Not that there are no problems, but flying in the US is very safe.

How FTX built its network of stars
Thank you so much!

Lunni actually uses Portainer as a backend right now. Portainer is a very powerful tool, a Swiss army knife of sorts, but I find the UI a bit complicated. (That's actually one of the reasons I started Lunni!) E. g. to deploy a new stack, you've got to wait for environment list to load, select an environment, go to Stacks, wait for stack list to load and only then click New stack. In Lunni that is one click away from the dashboard.

Swarmpit is also pretty nice, but yeah, broken in a couple ways. The quirk you encountered is actually pretty easy to explain: I think old versions of Swarmpit didn't store the YAML, but reconstructed it from the current stack state. It's actually pretty neat: if you deploy something outside of Portainer, it will complain that it doesn't know this stack and won't let you update it. Swarmpit however would show you what YAML could produce this stack, so you have at least something to work with. I might borrow this idea at some point, too :-)

Much of the ops related to high availability is also abstracted now since Cloud is extensively used and managed solutions are employed instead of having bare metal deployments. The era before cloud was radically different, now we don't hear the word downtime so often.
Standards change wildly between countries and/or companies. Culture can also effect this a lot. For example strict respect for seniority in the culture where a person lower on the org chart will never ever question their superiors actions/opinions.

Also some companies do not have access to good maintenance/parts due to economic sanctions on their country of origin (or just lack of money). Though this should not be a problem for Qatar Airways.
The pilots take off when they take off. If their take-off clearance isn't obviously time limited, they are certainly allowed to take their time. If they rush the take-off they might skip crucial items from their checklists in the haste, we learned that lesson the hard way already. Or what would have happened had the southwest jet had an issue on take off and had to reject? There is a number of reasons to reject a take off before decision speed that will take the plane down the rest of the runway on full brakes.

"Fair" isn't well-defined. Is it "fair" if Amazon results are seen as "more trustworthy" than a random new startup web store? Even ignoring SEO manipulation of any rules publicly believed to exist, that's the default outcome for things like PageRank.

Going beyond sources to conclusions, given LLMs aren't search engines and do synthesise results:

Politically, low-tax advocates see it as "fair" for people to take home as much as possible of what they earn, high-tax advocates see it as "fair" for broad shoulders to carry the most and also for them to contribute the most back to the societies that enabled them to succeed.

Is the current status of Americans whose ancestors were literally slaves made "fair" by the fact that slavery has ended and all humans are equal in law? Or are there still systematic injustices, created in that era, whose echos today still make things unfair?

Who has the most to blame for climate change, the nations with the largest integrated historical emissions even where most of the people who did the emitting have died of old age, or the largest emitters today?
