There's almost a dozen other national-ish airlines and a few dozen regional and commuter airlines, but it's hard to compete with the big ones because they can't offer the same number of routes. I fly JetBlue whenever I can because I'm tall and they have the best legroom, but about half my trips end up on other airlines because JetBlue doesn't fly everywhere. But people who fly a lot and use Delta or United can travel virtually anywhere without ever having to go "out of network". The smaller airlines can capture the people who frequently take a small number of routes, but the best customers are always going to gravitate towards an airline they can use a much as possible to maximize status and rewards.

TOML forces arrays to be encapsulated within square brackets (exactly like section paths do), although humans do not need square brackets for recognizing when something is a list.

Isn't TOML meant to be read by programs?

Don't square brackets make things less ambiguous for both machines and humans?

There is no way to convince a human that something composed of only one member is a list (if you think differently, chances are that you are partly non-human).

The author should speak for himself.

TOML forces arrays to be always comma-separated, although a human can recognize a list even when the separator is a mushroom.

I stopped reading after this.

How to Choose a Streaming Database Service in the Cloud? A Detailed Comparison
It has never made sense to me that a neighborhood is responsible for paying for a road that people beyond the neighborhood can use. Portland and Multnomah county work this way and as a result, part of our 1950s neighborhood has a gravel road that's become extremely problematic. The economies of scale make it easier for a city or county to maintain machinery for paving roads and making sidewalks, and yet some municipalities force this on residents. In our case, not everyone in my neighborhood make enough to be able to contribute to the construction of a road, much less repaving.
> You give an incentive to the employee that is dissociated from the interest of their employer.

This is mitigated by the employer setting rates, per-diem, rules on what seats you can purchase, etc. and the employer can't use the points from the frequent flyer program anyway. If there's, say, a $50 fare difference and that causes an employee to choose a more expensive flight (because the comparable flights are comparable) because they get points it's fine and basically an added benefit. In consulting for example that's a stated benefit in employee handbooks.

Of course that's not to say employees of companies can't go against the interest of their employer here, but it's up to the employer to set guidelines and for the employee to follow them.
The plaintiff is probably hoping to get a favorable hearing by finding only jurists who have Google directing people to drive through their driveways. It might work.

Seriously though, why aren't they suing the negligent municipality? Clearly the lack of markings or barricades is the problem.
Yeah it's easier getting rid of chlamydia than Splunk sales reps.
Not exactly. Airlines (in my view) are not a perfectly competitive industry: there are extremely high setup costs and barriers to entry. It would be very very difficult for a newcomer to compete with the established ones, at least in the US.

Edit: a word
Is that available to any core or just a sum-all-up and has latency penalties when going around?

Making Marriage Work (Dr. John Gottman) [video]
FIRE is the largest slice of GDP (~20%), followed by services and government: https://www.statista.com/statistics/248004/percentage-added-...

Legal services alone are about 3% of GDP.

This understates things, perhaps, as it's unclear whether it captures the financialization of non-finance sectors. (e.g. auto leasing, and what the article in the OP describes.)

Needless to say, this is historically unusual. And you don't need to go very far back in time to find a period where manufacturing was 25% of GDP and FIRE just 10%.
Haven't lived in Boston since early 2018 and I've only heard worse and worse things. Good grief.
I think you've got it back-to-front.

Personal identifying information does not belong to any company that gathers or purchases it unless they have specific permission (i.e. not some dark pattern "click here to disable the non-collection of your data") from the person and it is reasonable for them to have that data for their stated purpose. (Somewhat paraphrased from GDPR). The company and or government department need to have a strong reason to be manipulating the family's data and the family should have the right to see the data that is being held on them and also correct or delete it if it is incorrect.
I understand your points as precisely in the opposite direction to your conclusion.

According to this post, the INI approach says that the code that reads the value determines what type it should be. That approach means that you never get a problem where NO is a boolean when it should have been an enum, or a version number is a float when it should have been a string. You only get those problems when the type of a value is determined from the file without reference to the expected type, like in TOML.
From what I can see most of their products (all?) are z-wave, so even if they try to change as long as they don't break the z-wave support, you can buy a z-wave USB dongle and drop whatever wants to be directly connected to your network anyway.

I'm also a guide and have submitted multiple road closed reports. One specific route takes people down a single lane dirt road to a creek that had a bridge over it a decade or more ago, but that is long gone. The people that live on that road average one or 2 people backing back out of the spot every single day. And no matter how many reports they get, they refuse to update their maps. Even with pictures showing the lack of a bridge.
It's technically not a lie.

It's a half-truth which is technically the same or worse than a lie.
Casual observations of founder thinking in 2023
MongoDB is much easier to setup as a HA cluster
There are exception, but Microsoft seems pretty good at this. GitHub, Minecraft... Skype got a lot better for me in terms of reliability after the acquisition too, of course they've been competed away by other voips like Facetime and Whatsapp these days.

LinkedIn is better than ever for finding a job, or advertising a job, even though lots of people here don't like it because of the LinkedIn poasting culture.
Firefox got a foothold during the ballot era after the rules against Microsoft for IE bundling. Ballots work, especially if they're randomized.

Seriously, what on earth are you doing looking at your phone for a fucking stop sign.
It's a minor version release, mostly with bug fixes. But I also liked these improvements:

* In Erlang/OTP 27 we're getting triple-quoted strings, so this patch adds a warning for "accidental" triple-quoted strings.

* In Erlang/OTP 27 exact comparison of 0.0 and -0.0 will change so there is a warning for that as well to help detect issues earlier.

* FIPS support in crypto module for OpenSSL 3.x
That's not a fair analyze.

You can notice a stop sign being displayed on a screen attached near or on the windshield at the corner of your sight when you are looking at the road.

I would imagine anyway. I don't drive much. I bike and take the train.
Being rarely used is an advantage, though. You can solve the safety hazard component of the problem with a few hundred dollars worth of signs and barriers, rather than by actually repairing the thing. The convenience part can then be ignored.
JS also had this problem and introduced for(let) loops.
It seems like you're being needlessly confrontational

As other posters have mentioned, the incument companies rebranding to Observability definitely are expensive, because they are charging in the same way as they do for logs and/or metrics: per entry and per unique dimension (metrics especially).

Honeycomb at least charges per event, which in this case means per span - however they don't charge per span attribute, and each span can be pretty large (100kb / 2000 attributes).

I run all my personal services in their free tier, which has plenty of capacity, and that's before I do any sampling.
We don't have any instances with more than 500 users so perhaps that's the key difference here. We also don't have any PMs or 'admins' that do heavy handed top-down "you must use it this way" configuration.

We do have all product owners meet up at least once each month and the project collaboration methods are often on the agenda to make sure we don't end up with too many different workflows that are essentially duplicates of each other. Besides the workflows (mostly oriented around kanban boards and backlogs) we just make sure that collaboration across teams use compatible workflows and epics so you don't have to copy-paste information and instead just share stuff.

Each individual team is no larger than 8 people, most are smaller.
Yes, absolutely. When that feature first came out (showing stop signs), it caught me by surprise. I was going downhill in an area with poor visibility and I was alarmed that I missed a stop sign and braked. No accident, thankfully, but I never trusted Maps's stoplights and stop signs after that.

Ask HN: Would You Use Opinionkarma.com? Why or Why not?
There have been various things I wanted an opinion on and my question doesn't usually get a lot of traction. I would like a site where I could help other people out with answers and opinions and get some kind karma I could spend. On this site for instance I have a pretty good Karma score but I can't do anything with it. what are your thoughts?

Are there sites like this already? Has this been tried before and failed?

Would I be wasting my time?
It depends on where the fruit is grown. If it’s local, sure, but many are trucked or flown from long distances burning a lot of fossil fuels. There could maybe be a distance the fruit comes from and an increased rate of spoilage in the humid air that makes plastic wrap at least neutral with letting it rot. But my random guess is no one is doing that calculation, they are just worried about keeping their hotel looking nice.
I did this for a while. I think it was a kind of psychological displacement behavior - when I felt a lack of control over my life. A bit like playing animal crossing.

At some point I switched to treating notes as a pipeline - that is, if theres nothing coming out the other end (e.g. a document, a checklist I actually follow, an email, a reminder, a blog post, a jira ticket, etc.) then the activity is pointless.

Doing this meant it actually does bring value now.

LLMs seem like a singularly pointless addition in that respect, though.
I think folks are underestimating how far we have to go on inference performance. Even ignoring LLM’s like phi-1.5. PyTorch was meant to be easy to use first, and fast second. This turned out to be the winning combo for adhoc science workloads.

For pure LLM inference, you can go much further by fusing operations together and eventually building asic extensions to improve transformer perf.

I’d easily believe that we will see a 10x reduction in inference costs over the next 5 years as hardware folks catch up.
Thats the reason I still use a pocket Filofax! :-)
I would actually love to know if you have done this in prod and what it looked like.
I think there's a big difference between these two types of people:

1. Collects certifications just to pad their resume, and get there probably by mostly studying brain-dumps and memorizing the answers. Often have little or no actual experience with the technology in question.

2. Gains certifications related to things they have actually done / are actually doing, and use the certification process as a "forcing function" to motivate doing a deeper dive into obscure or less frequently used corners of the technology that they may not currently be strong in. Puts the certification on their resume but only expecting it to be a "weak signal" that complements their actual experience.

I think there may also be a 3rd category which may be relate to (1) but specifically relates to people who are just beginning their careers and seek a few certifications just to give them "something to hang their hat on" as far as getting in the door somewhere.

Anyway, I consider myself a representative of group (2) and as such I tend to default to an assumption that most people are also in that group. As such, I consider certifications a positive (if weak) signal, unless there is some other "red flag" to suggest the person is in "group 1". Like having 100 certifications, but not documented experience actually working with any of those technologies, or something like that.
I'm trying to figure out the odds that you intended this as sarcasm.

In the real world, it doesn't work like that.
Following this argument to its logical conclusion, why bother having any kind of standardized format at all, ini or otherwise? The program's config reader knows what it wants to read, why bother standardizing names, notation, section delimiters, or anything else?
EMF is fun.

We had one access point (unifi) in our datacenter which was consistently failing.

fail, RMA, fail, RMA, probably replaced that thing 5 times. It was also incredibly unreliable.

Meanwhile all the other access points (probably 10 of them in total) had 0 issues.

Eventually realized that the cable for that AP was running perpendicularly over the conduits which fed power into our suite, so, about 1MW of power. Relocated the cable so it was farther from the conduit and it never had an issue again. Makes you wonder about the effect of working in such environments.
jesus, that's incredible
What can we do about ultraprocessed foods?
Yes. Wash trading for the masses is the biggest innovation of NFTs. It is bananas how many breathless articles were typed and published about how today's crazy kids were buying stoner monkey pictures for $$$ without even a mention of this.

With Bitcoin or Eth or Doge or whatever, it's hard to paint the tape. You can't move the ticker by selling BTC to yourself at a high price, because your offer to buy it at that price will be rudely filled by somebody else selling their BTC, leaving you holding the bag. Since all BTC is presumed to be equally good you cannot selectively buy only from yourself. The exception to this is of course when you operate an exchange in which case you can fake whatever trading you like.

But with NFTs you don't need to be an exchange operator. Wash trading for everyone! Only YOU hold Bored Ape #1337, only YOU can sell it, so you can safely trade it back and forth between two, three, or a dozen of your own accounts all day giving it the appearance of value while losing only transaction fees. You'll never have your buy offer matched with another seller of Ape #1337 since you have the only one.

All NFT sales should be assumed wash trades without evidence to the contrary.
Sounds awesome for your use case!

…but this sounds so much like the legendary Dropbox release thread’s ”just use FTP, SVN, etc” that it made me smile :)
State of Payment Operations 2023
I feel like the correct answer is proper oversight of how the system is used, not a blanket shutdown in case it's misused. Perhaps these charities who complaining should be involved in that?

The goal of the service seems sensible, especially when you consider how often public services have made serious mistakes due to "information silos".
This looks like a really nice and polished product, I am in the same space, I've been working for a while on a similar project, pretty much feature parity but with one caveat, it's pay-once and use forever (1 year of free updates), self-hosted, no dependencies, one binary.

I'll be keeping a closed eye to you guys, it's pretty much what I wanted when I started my project.
Don't think I've benchmarked that case since thats not generally what you'll run into with a human data format. Would love to see numbers if you have them since I have no idea what they'd be.

Personally performance isn't my biggest concern and I only focus on it for the cargo case but I want to switch cargo to storing packaged `.crate` files to a format meant for machines.

I don't know which world you live in - it was never an enterprise first company. From the very beginning it catered to teams (not orgs) and refused to sell to the enterprise.
if you broaden the definition then think of graphic designers or concept artists, now thier job has been completely automated.

Sure, but will that have an effect on art? Most artists I know have day jobs completely unconnected to their art. Even the ones that draw stuff for a living don't consider that drawing their art. After spending all week working in the "drawing factory" they spend their weekends working on their 'real art'.

The only argument I can see is that fewer people will be willing to really learn the craft of drawing/illustration etc. if the chance of getting a day job doing that diminishes greatly.

> The part of the equation that I think the article is missing is that air travel is an industry with an extremely high level of substitute options

That's the entire point of a free market. Obtaining perfect competition. If you are producing a product that cannot be easily substituted then you shouldn't get to have a fully free market. Customer lock-in is the opposite of the concept and benefit of a free market.

Second, and industry with high startup costs, extreme barriers to entry, limited access to fixed resources (airport runways), and is of strategic importance to a country will always be regulated. Airlines will never be left to die (like for example the NFT market) - and we saw this during the 2008 period. And if you're going to socialize loses and have govt as your back stop there are rules you have to adhere to to ensure customer benefit.
I somehow managed to accidentally delete /dev/null
That stop sign feature is relatively new. I had to glance at the phone (mounted to the dash) to know where to turn, and saw the new stop sign and was like "wtf". It's a steep hill that probably COULD use one, but in the moment I was afraid that I'd missed it. It didn't actually exist.

After that experience I learned to just ignore them all in Maps.

Cisco Buys Splunk for $28B
The kids aren't already there during the summer. As the GP pointed out.
The advantage of TOML over INI is that you can use a generic TOML linter or TOML validator to check files. This is very helpful when dealing with deployment and CI pipelines where it would be nice to just fail if the config file(s) are not valid. This can save a lot of time, and eliminate the whole "spin up a container and load the application with broken config file" step...
15 miles south of Boston: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braintree,_Massachusetts
Sorry, maybe sarcasm was not the best way to convey my idea. I just visited the US and was absolutely shocked by the size of their roads and the surface covered by parking lots :-).

Anyway, my point was that roads are useful, but you certainly don't need 5 lanes for emergency vehicles, just one. Still, the tendency everywhere is to add road not for emergency vehicles and bikes, but because there are more and more cars out there.

Instead we should invest in public transportation and push for fewer cars. Not everyone needs a big car, and therefore we would not need 5-lanes roads if most people were taking the train.

I am not saying that we should remove roads. But maybe we should stop adding more of them (or making them bigger or faster) and instead invest in trains.
It's also possible to repossess a floating power plant, perhaps making it easier for these projects to be financed.
Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) is a term coined by Google.

The goal of the job is keeping large systems online and operational.

Think: systems engineering, DevOps, and sysadmin at scale - leveraging automation.

Lots of other shops still call it DevOps Engineering, Production Engineering, etc.
My personal opinion is that I would very much prefer all those smart and hard-working people be doing _more useful stuff_. So I think we're at the same sentiment here.

As for CEOs of public companies I do not know but my _impression_ still is that those consultancies are usually hired at lower levels - where the "responsibility buyout" is precisely _against_ such a CEO. Sort'a like the old "Nobody was ever fired for buying IBM".

And indeed I think the root is at the top (no pun intended): in most large(er) organization the incentives at the top are such that "having a sustained business" is _the worst possible choice_ - when you have a golden parachute deal it's better for you to literally bankrupt the company than to play it safe and say, ensure all the employees are not only well-treated but also well-compensated.
The problem about "things continuing to work" is really that many security fixes require updated architecture too. This is really why it's so hard to do LTS. It's not only about wanting new features.
