> You don't get upset and leave a profane comment unless you did a deep dive and realized the code does something absurdly horrible that took you far too long to figure out.

This describes my profanity use in comments perfectly. I'll even increase the amount of profanity and "descriptive phrases" depending on the frustration level I peak at.

Fun fact: my profanity will always be formatted into proper, grammatically and contextually correct sentences. This seems counterintuitive.

I'm curious what kind of profanity other people use; whether anyone else has an oddly specific format or if it's more off the cuff. (fyi: edited to not be cussing on HN, there will be a 100% chance my first profanity will be :"f###ing bulls##t," this is usually enough. In more severe cases I'll generally add: "bloody h3ll," "raging dumpster fire," "dumbest s##t ever," "d#mnation! h#llfire!," and, when I've completely lost my s##t, "what in the actual f###ing s##t is this g##d##n f###ing bats##t f###ing insane s##tshow clusterf##k!"

It saves a lot of time down the road to know whether I got pissed, super pissed, pissed af, threw some random s##t, or "welp, it's 5 o'clock somewhere."
Pretty negative response from the commenters.
Wait until your wife's blood sugar is stable to apply a new sensor.

Calibrate it several times when her blood sugar is stable. (Stable means not changing. I want to see a line on the CGM like this "-------------" not one that is going up or down.)

Make sure your test strips and CGM sensors are in date and have been stored at reasonably indoors temperatures.

I don’t think there’s a reality distortion field. I have a 10 year-old MacBook Pro (the very first Retina model) with 8GB of RAM. I often find myself with VSCode, two dozen Chrome tabs, some terminal windows and Adobe Illustrator (2022) running simultaneously. Somehow, it manages to cope with all of that without an issue. Of course, it doesn’t work as fast as new computers, but the UI remains fluid and responsive. I’ve never had a Windows machine offer that kind of practical longevity.

I recently upgraded a Linode Ubuntu VPS to the latest (server) LTS version. After the upgrade, it started shutting down every 15-20 minutes like clockwork. I looked everywhere. I thought perhaps it could be some errant kernel configuration that was incompatible with the new version of the distro. I must’ve overlooked the actual problem at least a dozen times before I finally got a hint from /var/log/syslog. A lack of display/network activity had been detected, so the system was going to sleep. After the upgrade, that must’ve been the new default. I still don’t understand how this made sense for a server edition. How does the new default handle situations like these?
> 2- that the agent on the phone did something that allowed me to pay for the fare

I think you are overestimating the powers of telephone agents with respect to website errors. Their abilities tend to be extremely limited and anything like you describe would have to be escalated to a dedicated team that would not be responding in real time like you describe.

> 3- that the agent or someone was going to pocket out the 56 EUR difference.

Definitely not the agent. Could you imagine if agents had the ability to pocket any money from customers? I think the “or someone” you describe is AirFrance and the system wasn’t fully showing the CSR the right info.
FWIW they are apparently working on this one but the reason behind as it is now is because it's technically an extension of Instagram.
They’ve converted into empathy-less career non-government drones.

One way or another they have no incentive to be anything but terrible to their passengers.
I can confirm that when I’m shopping at WalMart and polling average Joes on why they aren’t joining Mastodon, one of the top reasons they cite is the lack of data harvesting, followed closely by the lack of ads. Perhaps the fediverse can avoid the fate you’re predicting if they add in maybe just a little data harvesting?

Meta isn't exactly a startup. I think it's fair to hold them to a high standard.
These articles should be flagged, it's like catnip to subset of HN and always ends up in the same boring discussion. It's no different than other political or constantly rehashed topics.
I view this not as a “you’re making me wait” thing but rather being kind to those of us who have anxiety. “Hi.” without any follow up can really derail a struggling person.

Statistically speaking 2/10 have an ongoing mental struggle so I try not to make the “hi” transactional and immediately follow up with the point in the same message.
Hang on, we agree on where the prisoner should go. Obvious slam dunk case.

Funny enough that you are having this conversation. I was about to launch a NFT project called threads.nft which basically just had a bunch of pixel thread cartoons but no trademarked meta content. I was close to launch and then I stopped in my tracks realizing that Meta would probably kick in my door just for the overlap in name.

Nevermind how nonsensical this nft stuff seems to you, it isn't really relevant. I thought my anecdote might add to the discussion.

What do you think? Would I have lawyers at my door if I launched this (what can be best explained as) "art" project?
I think the message size limit is a bit of a red herring. Anyone using AES-GCM with messages that large is probably doing sketchy things with unauthenticated plaintext on the decryption side. A non-hazmat/not-just-for-experts cipher really needs to be chunked.
I could have been more clear in my story. I tried multiple times over a few days, before caving in and calling customer support. The agent 100% did something that fixed the error.
And run any new traffic lights put up if they aren't in the database yet?
In Europe it is very common to have something outside the speed limit that makes someone slow down, and I don't mean speed bumps. They will plant trees along the road in slower areas which give the feeling that the road has narrowed (for example) and you feel like you need to slow down because they shoulder basically no longer exists. I find that very interesting. The US is just behind on road design, stuck in the 1950s. Civil engineers and road designers need to change the way they think about designing roads to actually take pedestrians into consideration. The way we set speed limits is pretty comical too.
Which is why all the other fine people on the road should be replaced by robots, but not me!
Swearing for the sake of it does look childish, yes. I've noticed that in a few streaming TV shows, where they've gotten too excited over a lack of censorship that they just end up looking like teenagers who still think saying "fuck" is an act of rebellion

On the other hand, I'd like to write something like "this is a bit shit but will be replaced later" because that's how I naturally speak. Sanitising it to "crap" or "poor" just makes me feel like I'm teaching a youth club or something, and it is a minor pipeline stall in my train of thought while I do a mental synonym search

It seems that the tickets indicate the flight was purchased through Delta. Wouldn't it be necessary to address these claims with the carrier from whom you bought the ticket, rather than the carrier who operated the flight?
One thing I've been noticing more and more since Not Just Bikes pointed it out is the shape of truck hoods.

I've gone over the hood of a Honda Odyssey minivan. It wasn't fun, but I walked away because I rolled over the sloped shape and off the side. I look at the big flat intimidating front grills of modern trucks as I ride my bike around town everyday, and it's very terrifying.

There's legislation around the shape of car hoods that make such things illegal, but trucks are exempt because they were viewed as "working vehicles" at the time the laws were written. Your personal truck is not a working vehicle. You think it's sexy and strong looking. I think it's terrorism. Stop making and buying these monstrosities.

Reminds me of when the first scooters and bikes were deployed across Seattle.

"Oh this is the worst! people leave them in the middle of the sidewalk"

"They are just gonna get stolen and stripped for parts"

"Everyone please, actively break them, throw them into ditches, or into the water."

X years later, people in Seattle love them - they are constantly in use. Less traffic on the streets, fewer drunk people driving. The homeless have a few stolen ones but actually use them practically (so good for them). And people have learned to park them half-decently.

This will be the same story for AVs. The tech is gonna improve faster than the complaints get filled, and very soon everyone is gonna love paying 80% less for their Ubers.

All experts who signed warnings for decades: https://theconversation.com/amp/ukraine-war-follows-decades-...

Just like now, experts in AI write strongly worded open letters warning of 10% or more chance of human extinction, but we disregard them, just like no one builds nuclear fallout shelters anymore. It’s a generation that pollutes the planet with plastic etc, destroys species and ecosystems, insect populations are plummeting, and even global warming is now a much less pressing concern — and no one can stop it from rushing to the precipice. But I’m glad you have such great justifications for continuing the forever wars.

Literally no one with any pedigree regardless of what they have done, can be tolerated for anything else than full support for the latest endless war. Same with if you questioned any aspect of the rushed vaccines. Or any number of other coordinated movements.
I listened to this podcast earlier today, very interesting. They interview a researcher at University of Utah who studies distracted driving. The ergonomics and related distraction factors of In-vehicle Information Systems (IVIS) are fascinating from a UI perspective.

Unsurprisingly, tactile/physical controls are much less distracting than voice controls or virtual controls like touchscreens. Part of the reason is because physical controls are faster and more precise to modulate, so your brain is distracted for less time while doing something like adjusting the temperature with a physical knob.
Because many people in the US believe laws will protect them...walk out in a road and cars are supposed to stop for you. If they don't...you die. Pedestrians have the most to lose, but act very casually about walking so close to where cars are driving at high speeds. In the closest major city to me (Portland) the major increase in pedestrian deaths has come from the homeless population. No good statistics on why, but drugs were decriminalized a few years ago and there are suspicions that has something to do with it, but the data is not easily reviewed. Also, some major cities (like Portland) reduced normal traffic patrols that would help to curb speeding and reckless driving.

Laws similar to those EU laws mentioned in the article.

You can definitely go further than that - a strong consumer protection agency that actually enforced these rules would help more - but having those rules in place would at least help people like OP who are willing to stand on their rights (and in turn that creates incentives for airlines to do the right thing), and is already proven to be a viable approach.

There is an outstanding FTC lawsuit against FB (No I'm not going to call them Meta) which would undo the Instagram and What's App acquisitions. If that were to be successful (it was dismissed once) I suppose Instagram+Threads would be a separate company.

BUT ... the FTC recently lost a case that would have blocked FB from acquiring a VR company (Within) because "Meta could have chosen to try to compete. Instead, it chose to buy". That is, not building their own VR fitness division is anti-competitive. FTC chair Lisa Khan has a raging hard-on for Zuck but it would be hilarious if they also try to block FB for being competitive.
Thank you for the suggestion! I will check out the library and try it without any fine-tuning
Can you elaborate on scary smart and fast?

It's been a month or two since I've tried but the results were depressingly slow and useless for more or less every task I tried.

Every time a model is claimed to be "90% of GPT-3" I get excited and every time it's very disappointing.

(On that note, after using GPT-4, GPT-3 now seems disappointing almost every time I interact with it.)

A lot of words in this comment, but the convention says they are liable for damages. You have to prove and quantify damages before you can ask them to pay for damages. You better believe their lawyer isn't going to agree to the extent of the damages. And you'll also have to prove that they didn't take all reasonable measures to avoid the damage. There's a reason everyone thinks that in the US you can go get fucked if you want compensation by an airline: because for all intents and purposes, it's true. This is incomparable to the EU.
Just about everyone believes themselves to be an above average driver with a lower than average risk profile.

And besides, it's not like we're just talking about replacing only the safest drivers' miles with AVs.

We don't really know how safe Waymo is yet, because there's not enough data. It's pretty safe: it's more patient and cautious than most humans are willing to be and also has perfect vigilance; on the flip-side there's more situations it just doesn't understand.

Waymo's goal is to be a more vigilant version of the safest human drivers. They're probably not quite there yet.
I suspect the union says so you might want to consider writing to them for why they feel that way.
>> It's what happens when the only airlines are flag carriers that don't have to worry about competition because their respective governments will keep them in business.

Governments cannot provide aid beyond what a reasonable investor would do. The current European Commissioner for Competition (incumbent since 2014) has had particularly strong focus on that. Several flag carriers that got unreasonable subsidies went bankrupt after they were forced to pay back subsidies.

Beyond the European Commission, competitors can challenge approved aid, and they have done so, and they have sometimes won: https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/eu-court-...

* Lack of pedestrian safety standards for cars unlike the EU. Exacerbated by the increasing prevalence of SUVs which automakers receive higher margins on due to a loophole in CAFE fuel efficiency standards.

* Very lax licensing standards (easy exams, high tolerance for bad behavior, high BAC limits, etc) due to the sheer necessity of driving due to reliance on auto-oriented design.

* Decades of policy designed to increase LOS for vehicles which results in roads that are much wider, larger, much more expensive, and designed to carry much higher throughput than equivalent roads in other countries.

* Speed limits set to 85-percentile of vehicle speed along roads, coupled with high LOS on roads leading to high speed limits in places there shouldn't be.

* Uneven and very lightweight traffic enforcement due to the prevalence of driving and the impacts of not being able to drive on the general public.

* Resistance to traffic calming measures by local governments and planners obsessed with vehicle LOS resulting in unsafe streets for non-car users.

It guarantees you know one person on the network. And if you like it and want to invite everyone else – tough luck.

Yeah. Speaking without profanity always makes me feel a little irritated and constrained. Not because I only know how to speak with profanity and use it as a crutch, but because I use both profane and non-profane words as tools to convey a wider gamut of nuance. So shrinking my lexicon is shrinking my dynamic range
Most people think they're a better driver than average [1], and I bet if you asked 100 people with a history of drunk driving, 90 would say it was a one-time thing, deny it, or argue that it wasn't really that dangerous because they were just going around the block.

The autonomous car doesn't get drunk. It doesn't get tired. It doesn't get road rage. It isn't in a hurry, and it doesn't need to text its girlfriend while going 80 mph. Whatever its flaws will be, they will be consistent.

To achieve the generally-considered-ideal "15 minute" urban design without cars or public transit (which is what the parent post is advocating), you absolutely require density higher than "single family separated townhome with a yard". You require shared walls and building up.

WRT growth, Montana is roughly the size of Germany, but with 400k residents. It will take some 90+ years at the growth rate of 10% per decade to even break 1m residents, let alone Germany's 84m.

That's well beyond my lifespan, though I'll do nothing to discourage the growth - that would be cruel. Even if I don't like living in an urban environment, I won't take that choice away from others.

If the fastest way to implement a particular `switch` in assembly is with the equivalent of a set of `if`s, a reasonably smart compiler "should" be able to output the assembly to do that. And I thought that gcc and clang at least have actually been smart enough to do that for a while now.

But if the number of `if`s is high and the distribution sufficiently dense, where a jump table is better than a bunch of `if`s, then a `switch` should output that.

OTOH, a sufficiently smart compiler could theoretically turn a bunch of `if`s into a `switch`-like jump table - but it's much harder to reason that case through correctly than it is the other way, so I'm not sure any current compilers are sufficiently smart to do that.

That’s a common practice in enterprise software licensing agreements. The organisation that is being audited signed up for this.
