Searching for the reason of the "Shortage of air traffic controllers" led to

https://www.forbes.com/sites/suzannerowankelleher/2023/06/26...

which contained this quote:

Industry insiders argue that many of the FAA’s challenges stem from Congress’s long-term failure to adequately fund the agency. The current shortage of air traffic controllers can be traced back to the 2013 United States budget sequestration, says Paul Rinaldi, a former 16-year air traffic controller at Washington Dulles International Airport and 12-year president of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA). “They closed the air traffic control academy,” he explains. “They looked at reducing hours and many air traffic facilities. They looked at closing and cutting more than 100 federal contract towers, and stopped most modernization projects.”

Which led me to this chain of events:

The budget sequestration ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_United_States_budget_sequ... ), which was a set of automatic spending cuts in the Budget Control Act of 2011 ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budget_Control_Act_of_2011 ), which was implemented to end the 2011 US debt-ceiling crisis ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_United_States_debt-ceilin... ), which was the newly republican House of Representatives starting their now recurring series of chicken-races about the debt ceiling, which had risen exceptionally fast due to the US stuffing all the private sector debt on their balance sheet during the handling of the 2008 financial crisis.
That statement also has no basis in neuroscience.
> they gave up on Mir and Unity and now run a lightly modified GNOME on Wayland.

With Extensions Manager, you can disable all of the system extensions, install the User Themes extension and GNOME Tweaks, and in Tweaks, set every setting that is set to Yaru-* to Adwaita/Default, and you should get yourself a stock GNOME Shell. Except for the Ubuntu Font, of course.

(I'll never forget the time I ran GNOME and KDE at once and created KNOME. Lots of my friends got angry and claimed I "took KDE with my greasy GTK fingers." The horror.)

These increases are so frustrating. Verisign is making so much money basically selling you an idea with almost zero cost.

I'm surprised that there wasn't an internet revolution about that. But probably the bad apple/corrupted part here is the ICANN that let it go.
We got some proof of that with the .org case.
Yes. I replaced Docker Desktop with it and I haven't found anything lacking for my use cases so far. It's a great alternative, just install and a few clicks, that's it.
Thanks. While steep, I’ll happily pay for the procedure if the risks are minimal and the impact on his quality of life is likely to be meaningfully positive.
makes sense. thanks.
It would only partially negate the point. Any new permissions would trigger a prompt for the user to accept the additional permissions before installing the update. Also there is some aspect of human review for updates to extensions on the Mozilla Addons site.
It would certainly be neat if we approximated the mind using technology. It's a real shame we haven't done that. And no, computer programs don't have or deserve to have rights.
We build more than that, actually, it’s just that they’re inside of submarines and aircraft carriers.
It's hard to build a revenue stream by cutting expenses.
> You are also always forced to take the parking space that comes with a rental unit

I think that's usually just a trick to make rent seem cheaper. They advertise the appartment for 1000€, but when you look at it they say, oh, and the parking lot costs 150€ on top.
At that point it would request the global "read and modify all sites" permission, which makes it kinda obvious.
There is a button in the app and also on touchscreens (accessible from both front and rear seats) that you can use to ask the car to pullover as soon as possible. You can exit the vehicle this way if you think it's unsafe.

Never underestimate mass opinion shaping by incumbants. There is a well known answer to your question that many scoff at because they've read a lot of negative articles about it.
I use Discord all the time, but I have seen zero reason to get Nitro. Every time they try to upsell it to me the "features" are unnecessary. The marque feature either "50MB uploads" (Nitro Basic) or "500MB uploads" (Nitro). Is this per file, per day, per month??? I only share the occasional screenshot or small file, so uploads have never been an issue. The rest of the "benefits" - "server boosts", custom Emoji, or a special Nitro Badge - seem ridiculous. What do people use this for?
The actual science:

> Here we report a catalytic system composed of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium-functionalized Mo3P nanoparticles coated with an anion-exchange ionomer that produces propane from CO2 with a current density of −395 mA cm−2 and a Faradaic efficiency of 91% at −0.8 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode over 100 h in an electrolyser.

This is almost too good to be true... they demonstrate commercially viable reaction rates, efficiencies and timescales.

They have presumably applied for a patent for it, so in 20 years when the patent expires this will become the standard thing to do with recovered CO2 I'd guess.
statistics are based.
That just sounds like good business.
It's also sad how many other countries are eager to replicate the US's mistakes here.

What’s Industry 4.0? Also what’s 1, 2 and 3.0, actually…
Dang, it's been a while since I've used Ratpoison. I'm on EXWM now, but I really enjoyed using StumpWM, which is a spiritual successor to Ratpoison, and it's written in Lisp.
> This right here is an example of a lie of omission: over what time frame?

Sorry about that. It's the average over a whole week (I looked at the weekly bulletin of a random week from last month, but they're all similar).

> With what renewable?

Around 62% hydro, 22% wind, and 1% solar (we're in winter right now, so we have less solar and more wind; on summer we'd have more solar and less wind).

> And they're also building a new nuclear reactor at their existing plant.

And that reactor is the main reason I'm very skeptical of nuclear power: it's been under construction for nearly 40 years, and it's still not near done. All the parts have already been bought and have been stored on site for a long time; just the upkeep to make sure none of these parts degrades while under storage is already a high cost.
Those that keep trying to make a point of Android being UNIX, never really shipped anything on the Play Store.

Yes, it uses the Linux kernel, and several components born on the Linux world and that is about it.

Only Google and OEM partners get to see that layer, and those that root their devices.

Nothing on the Android userspace, the Java and Kotlin frameworks, or the NDK official APIs have anything to do with Linux in any kind, form and fashion.

As for putting UNIX in a pedestal, most of the so called culture, is mostly circled around nerd circles, hardly ever noticed in big iron commercial UNIXes, and now that most of them faded away, gets passed by as a kind of old culture myth told during cold nights around the fire.

As for the technology, the UNIX haters book exists for a reason, had AT&T been allowed to sell UNIX from the get go, and most likely it wouldn't have picked up steam on the market.

Being source tapes available for symbolic prices, when compared with the real cost of a commercial OS on the 1970's, is of course a different matter.

I find great that at least the mobile OSes, and cloud infrastructure nowadays focus on other stacks, instead of being yet another UNIX clone, no need for OS monoculture stuck in the past.

Signed, a recovered UNIX zealot.
trains better only if you want to follow train path. we had a bit of "freestyle" roadtrip (with multiple stops over couple of weeks, not point to point) Dusseldorf to Paris with help of state of the art iGo on asus pda. In Paris we did ditch a car and took train to the city.

I don’t think the point about disk wear is true. ZFS is a block-based CoW filesystem already, so the “erase” is actually something more like “make a new metadata entry that points to an earlier state snapshot”. Plus, I’d expect normal disk usage (ie. chrome disk cache) probably far outweighs any disk wear you’d get from the (relatively) small size of files you get written into /.

Unless you’re working on a server with a ton of ram, I also think using tmpfs is more likely to shoot yourself in the foot with excess memory pressure. I don’t know of a way for the kernel to free memory if you write a huge file to the tmpfs partition by mistake, unless you use swap, and then you have the problems that come with that.

Tmpfs might be faster though!
It is simple on the CLI with podman using the ‘platform’ argument. They were confusingly only referring to Docker it seems.

With the advancement of globalization and the development of Internet technology, cross-border e-commerce has become an important way for many enterprises to pursue new markets and achieve growth. However, it is not easy to stand out and succeed in this highly competitive field. This article will introduce three feasible strategies to help companies succeed in cross-border e-commerce.

First Strategy: Market Research and Positioning
Before entering any market, it is crucial to fully understand the target market. For cross-border e-commerce, this is especially important. When conducting market research, enterprises must consider the culture, laws and regulations, consumption habits and other factors of the target market. In addition, enterprises should also conduct in-depth analyses of competitors and find their own competitive advantages.

Second Strategy: Establishing a Reliable Supply Chain and Logistics System
The success of cross-border e-commerce often depends on the effectiveness of supply chain and logistics systems. Since cross-border transactions involve multiple aspects such as international transportation, customs and trade policies, it is crucial to establish a reliable supply chain and logistics system.

Third Strategy: Globalized Marketing and Branding
Successful cross-border e-commerce is not just about selling products, but also about building awareness and brand value. In order to succeed in the global market, companies should adopt a globalized marketing and branding strategy.

Cross-border e-commerce is an area full of opportunities and challenges. Through market research and positioning, the establishment of reliable supply chain and logistics systems, as well as globalized marketing and branding, companies can successfully conduct cross-border e-commerce and achieve growth and profitability. However, success requires sustained effort and innovation, and companies should constantly evaluate and adjust their strategies to adapt to the changing market environment.

Both e-commerce store multi-account management and marketing and promotion require a lot of effort. Here, I recommend using a multi-account management tool: MuLogin Anti-Detection Fingerprint Browser to conduct your business efficiently!

You can use MuLogin to batch import/export cookies from accounts on e-commerce platforms such as Amazon, eBay, Shopee, Mercari, Shopify, Poshmark, Etsy, Wish, etc. It's easy to manage your store, rate products, and browse items. Supports batch creation, management of social media accounts such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, Tinder, Pinterest, TikTok, and VK and ad optimization, as well as account verification and affiliate on Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, PayPal, and Stripe Marketing.

MuLogin can create multiple unique fingerprint browsers, where each browser's fingerprint environment, cookies, local storage, and other cached files will be completely isolated, and the browser profiles cannot leak information to each other for unassociated secure logins for multiple accounts. New users can enjoy a three-day free trial.
its like trying to learn to drive while the car is actively trying to not let you drive. you can do it but its not fun.

i want to do a loop, i dont want to learn to be forced to understand indentation. that kills the enthusiasm imo.

My native language is Polish, you can pretty much reorder words as you please (almost all permutations are valid, but there's usually like 3 or 5 that are used most often - you put the noun that you want to highlight as the first or last word in the sentence basically, or you use the default SVO if you don't care). Any other order is usually a gimmick to make the song rhyme etc :)

I'm not sure German is more free than English with its sentences structure tho. When I'm speaking German it feels like exercise in short-term memory and stack depth because you constantly need to move some words at the end of the sentence :) But I only know it very superficially.

By the way, I never understood why English has rules about the order of the adjectives. Why is it always "good old times" and never "old good times"? I don't see what's the benefit here. Maybe error correction?
I don't like those techs because they don't guarantee that they will offset fossil fuel extraction.

What's really needed it's culture change on growth and consumption.

The best technology is light technology.
Average people can't estimate how much I can drink below the BAC limit. It's basically to ban drunk driving completely.
No, it's all regulated here, the advertised rent has to include all those details and in case of the housing cooperative where I rent from, the rent bill is split up in details showing me exactly how much the parking space costs.

Loosening up this flat<->parking space bond is actually a recommendation in a paper on how to reduce surface parking in cities. Just can't find the paper right now.
> While the small, round worms can live for a decade, they don’t multiply unless outside the body, and good hygiene means transmission risk is very low.

One in twenty people in my country have type 2 diabetes. If this treatment was widespread I think the risk to the general population wouldn't be low.

According to Wikipedia "Children's physical and cognitive growth may be affected [by hookworms]".
Well yeah. LTE was already at the theoretical limit of information transmitted per hertz. What were people expecting?
> most of social media is now shit-flinging and calling the "outside group" stupid

I saw myself in both your quote and the one you responded to.

For the past year, I've participated in calling out Unstoppable Domains for their bullying tactics[1], shady behavior[2], &c. I've delighted in catching their employees off-guard in obvious lies. I've made ample use of the #StoppableDomains hashtag to further expose how they're a Web2 company masquerading as Web3. All this for Twitter to indefinitely ban my account for "platform misuse."

Was it worth it? My previous data export was almost a year ago so, unfortunately not. Losing a decade plus of memories hurts but it further illuminates the need to own your content (and that's a rant for another day).

I do think that holding people and corporations accountable is important. At this point though, I don't care to continue putting energy into platforms and not really getting much back from them (if anything).

> So Android is more like a "monoglot" operating system on top of Unix. It's just using Linux as a bunch of device drivers basically

Not even that since Project Treble.

From Project Treble point of view, Linux kernel is a microkernel, and the only in-kernel drivers are legacy drivers, all modern drivers should run on their own userspace process (written in C++ or Java), and use Android IPC to talk to the kernel.

Android has zero to do with UNIX philosophy, they could ship a version using Zirkon instead of Linux kernel and nothing in userspace would notice, unless they are trying to use private APIs, or are OEM partners.

While the solar may be of relatively little use at that time a battery would still help shift the load around and reduce peak demands on the grid.

V2G would also really help in this scenario because of the sheer size of EV batteries. If you’re using them as home storage batteries once or twice a year it’s probably not going to hurt the lifespan too much.
Someone who has money as the primary criterion for where they work.

The implication being that they're likely to jump ship as soon as anyone else makes them a better offer (and that they'll be at least semi-actively looking for that better offer while working for you), and that the quality of their work output suffers because they're not sufficiently passionate about the problem to be solved.

They're the opposite of "missionaries", in this particular vernacular.
Lately I see a lot of this "fuck cars" mentality and how cars are ruining the world and stuff, but never have I seen alternatives.

Say all parking spaces vanish over night and now a lot of people are left with cars. What then? What is the next step? Are these people just expected to pay some fee to get their cars taken away? What if I need a car for commuting? Is it really reasonable to ask me to start using public transportation and completely revolve my life around a their schedule?

Just this summer I saw attractive new apartment complex being built that I was going to buy an apartment from - until I saw that their parking structure doesn't have enough parking spaces for every apartment. Meaning that if I don't pay extra to nab one of the spaces (+ maintenance fees and whatnot) there wouldn't be a place for my car and all of a sudden there would only be tiny expensive grocery store as my only walkable shopping place or ordering takeout from even more expensive restaurants.

I feel like this anti car sentiment comes from people who already don't have access to a car and have already molded their lives around public transportation and of course then it is easy to say we should get rid of cars. Just like it is easy for non-students to cut from stupid benefits, just like it is easy for non-parents to get rid children, etc, etc.
perl5 also does the same
No, we didn't have such easy access to such high energy foods before.
you're saying you think that quote means russia's war on Ukraine is causing inflation?

if so, it doesn't – not only does it not even mention russia's war on Ukraine, it doesn't even mention a rate increase, much less a correlation between the two

not only THAT, but you conveniently ignored all the 4 other factors they listed first

and before you go down the conspiracy theory route of "X can't/won't say the REAL truth but I'll tell you what it is", a lack of evidence for a theory isn't evidence of the theory, and while I'm sure you're a great person, your word in this situation is unconvincing
In pay experience, scrolljacking happens after front end devs are told to implement it by the designers and the designers are told they must do it by the marketing people who in turn have been begged by both the front end devs and the UX team and. The design team to please record wider this insane decision - but insisted on it anyway.

I have a collection of articles and studies and discussions on scrolljacking that I show to the business stakeholders when it comes up.

I make sure thy hear from multiple parties independently when such an idea starts making its way toward implementation.

But it is exhausting because trendy flashy websites still use the technique and do catch the eye and I have to explain why we can’t and should not have the shiny toy - despite big brand x y or x having it.

In which process I am saying no to the very people deciding on my bonus.

Just a bit of perspective.
It's weird how python defaults to spaces rather than tabs, as tabs would make indentation errors less prevalent and a lot more obvious to people learning the language.
