They can and do all the time. ATC would also have known the previous shift that this flight was late and would require it.

As for requiring it on company policy, I'm not entirely sure that our ATC policies should focus on "well, you don't need to be that safe".
Why? Institutional owners of homes rent them out, which increases the rental housing stock.
Original comment is specifically talking about Miami, which is a city where young people are trying to live and work.
JS allows arbitrary values (including objects/references) as keys in Maps, but not in objects, there it is cast to string by default (e.g. "object [Object]", "null" or "undefined", this is not intended usage of course).

The symbol primitive is also allowed as an object key, using square bracket access.

And arrays are "exotic objects" that have some special behaviors around their keys (auto-updating length property)
But red doesn't mean stop and yellow doesn't mean warning, when it comes to vehicle lights at least. They can mean emergency vehicle, a turning car, rear running lights, a braking car, non-police emergency vehicle, turn signalling, running lights, fog lights, etc.

Red and yellow are used in lots of cases. In their passive use (not flashing), they're mainly used to distinguish cars and direction at night.

There's a limited number of useful and distinguishable light colors for vehicles. There are even fewer useful colors for passive use during daylight.

Blue-green probably makes the most sense for daytime, passive use.
"All real estate is local"

That changed with Appomattox and the subsequent enactment of the 14th Amendment.
I vaguely remember reading somewhere that SOIA in SFO was discontinued during the pandemic and hasn’t returned so far.
> Does JS allow arbitrary objects as keys?

Object doesn't, but Map does. It's generally a good idea to use Map anyway for dynamic keys.
It's a reasonable thing to predict quanatatively. If second homeownership was not legally possible, how much would it affect home ownership rates? (given all other things equal)
Presumably they are hiring someone because they have an immediate need and wouldn't be too happy if said new hire went on leave leaving them in the exact same position with the added "benefit" of having a new, non-productive person on the payroll.
>> money isn’t even real

This is true, in the Philip K. Dick conception of reality ("Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away"), so maybe something we all shouldn't get worked up about?

If we stop believing in our duty to return the favor, what happens? Or if we stop believing that there is such a thing as society? If we stop believing in usury, does it exist?
The problem with having computer separation be less than pilot separation is, what happens if the computers fail and the pilots have to take over? Then they're suddenly in a situation where they're already below whatever the minimum safe pilot separation is, and now you've potentially turned a recoverable failure into an unrecoverable one. If the whole point of having pilots is to be backups for the computers, the computer situation has to have more margin than the equivalent pilot one, even if efficiency is being left on the table.

(The only way around this is to not have pilots as backup, and turn the whole thing over to the computers, but we're not ready or willing to take that step yet)
That's for the newer skies, the original is mostly procedural.
Once the drive is spinning that doesn't matter though. Floppies are slow by modern standards mostly because you only get a new (decoded) bit around every 2nd (or for DD drives 4th) microsecond, and the drive takes some time stepping to the next cylinder (track).
On a side note, I really wish I could learn to tell exactly if a new feature like this is already supported in a project I'm working.

babel.config.js is just a mistery to me. @babel/present-env, targets: { node: 'current' }, forceAllTransforms, useBuiltIns, 'corejs', modules, @babel/plugin-proposal-object-rest-spread.

I mean, I generally dump it into Chat GPT and ask for an explainer, but... how can I know for sure I can use `array.reverse()` and it will be correctly handled in older browsers?

And how does the babel version in yarn.lock relate to all this?

What about the .browserslistrc which contains 'defaults' ?

My god.
They arrived in the area on time

Huh?

They arrived way outside their window. I realize they also left MUC late, but still.
That's an unkind thing to post.
I might be suffering from imposter syndrome, but I feel like I'm not the right audience for "taking advantage of boredom".

I feel people who benefit from this "diffuse state" are those who already have a base level of competence in their field or challenging problems they're trying to solve, and so boredom gives their brain an opportunity to express creativity in that domain.

For me, my brain is just "quiet" when bored. It doesn't come up with "novel ways to solve problem X", or "a brand new idea". When it is at all noisy, it is mostly regurgitation of thoughts I've already had before, replays of conversations from the past week, mundane things like that.

Does anyone else feel this way, or is it just me?
Really dumb arguments - couple who claim to be 'cheated' said "The judge is setting a precedent - go to a professional before going to a professional."

Yes, right, that's called 'getting a second opinion'. They didn't do that, they sold a multi-million dollar item for $150 and regret it.

Its not an unbiased opinion when the guy doing the estimation is also the guy buying the thing from you. That's called, making a sale. You have to assume the other guy is low-balling you.
This!!! And especially foreign private equity home ownership!
That's possible. This data doesn't break it down by model, but it might even be true.

No other make would be as heavily influenced by it as Tesla. EVs are less than 10% of sales for most other makes, so the impact would be nearly negligible.
There's a ton of extra space in the United States. Germany's population density is >600/sq mile. That's more than all but five states. It's not a new problem - it's one that's been solved by many other countries.
Up to and including homelessness? Objectively no. Homelessness significantly prevents both productive economic activity and maintaining other basic necessities, or even seeking help from others. Weighed against what appears to be a purely philosophically-derived assumption that negative reward signals are not only necessary to motivate useful action but have no diminishing returns, I think the proposition that a home makes a lot of the activities one needs to do to "get ahead" in life more physically feasible has a lot more evidence in its favor
None of the citations match the claims, either. The author appears to have made up one of its most important citations while misrepresenting the other [0], which is par for the course for this author [1][2][3][4].

Most of the queue would have been with approach, not tower. The aircraft sequenced to land were split across at least two controllers, tower and approach, and possibly more than one approach controller depending on how SFO splits them up. I would expect approach to be able to provide a reasonable estimate but it seems like in this case the estimate was found to be four minutes off, which seems totally within the bounds of a reasonable estimate from an approach controller.

The traffic pattern (US term) isn't really a factor here either way, airliners flying visual still usually use charted routes (like the instrument procedures) or radar vectors rather than the pattern. Remember that the pattern is only about one mile out from the field. By the time airliners are that close they're probably cleared.
The idea there is that if you measure the timing between transitions precisely enough you do not have to do a real clock recovery. The FDD motors seem to be precise and stable enough (after some spin-up time) that this approach works and IIRC even many HW FDCs do something similar internally. But at the same time the low-level format is clearly designed to make some kind of PLL-based clock recovery scheme possible.

After all that is what the FM in MFM implies. There is an obvious parallel with the simplest approach to demodulating FSK (or for that matter DTMF) in digital domain, which works by counting/timing zero transitions of the signal.

The UART receivers are similar in that there is no clock recovery, with the assumption that the clock is stable enough that any kind of frequency error or drift will be insignificant for the relatively short (usually 10bit) frame. The oversampling is there to align the sample point with middle of the symbol and the majority voting from multiple samples serves to average out effects of spiky noise that may be superimposed on the signal.
While £4.5M is perhaps small potatoes when it comes to a government budget, it's not nothing. (And presumably this archive will only grow over time, increasing the cost.)

Why not digitize them, and then offer to give them to some sort of private/non-profit entity that's dedicated to historical document preservation, or something like that? Only snag I can think of is that maybe these documents are not supposed to be public? (Especially for the wills of the more recently-deceased people.)

It seems a bit much to ask taxpayers to spend that money because some of those wills (ultimately probably a very tiny, sub-1% fraction of them) might become historically significant someday.
There are tons of awesome 3k sqft houses for under $300k—plus smaller, cheaper ones—all over the US.

They’re in shrinking rural towns and small cities. The schools are bad and there’s no economy to speak of.

… but they’re better than some imagined frontier. Yet nobody’s moving there. Which suggests a lack of places to escape to cheaply may not be the problem.
Comcast is a total regional monopoly in most cities so I'm glad that cities that do invest in municipal/community broadband are taking matters into their own hands to combat this.

Luckily reality is nothing like this.

Probably.
>"this combination of preconditions yield a business logic edge case that wasn't accounted for". Static typing doesn't really help more than dynamic typing in these cases.

Depends on the language and the business logic. Types are a way of specifying preconditions and postconditions; a more expressive type system lets you rule out more edge cases by making illegal states unrepresentable.

In particular, I'm pretty sure it's not possible to have the thread bug from the article in Rust's type system.
For a person without passport, just citizenship - none of that would prove anything.

You need to prove continuous residence for 5 years, the only accepted form of evidence in utility bills, bank statements and council tax.

You need 1 document per 3 months of residence, so at the very least 15 documents, and they have to be from 3 different organisations, without gaps. Do you have that?
I only have a few anecdotal pieces of evidence but I know of two people, who didn't give a damn about checkmarks, who have stopped using twitter because it's unusable now. They were die-hard twitter users who were on it every day but now they don't even open it. They were also the only two twitter-obsessed folks I know and now both of them have no interest.

Again, just anecdotes but I feel like that's more evidence than you're sharing in this comment.
Do you by chance live in a city?
Actually that only works with Map. For plain objects the key is always the stringified cast of the key.

> o = { [{}]: 1 }
{ '[object Object]': 1 }
> k = { toString() { return 'a' } }
{ toString: [Function: toString] }
> o = { [k]: 1 }
{ a: 1 }
It's not greed. You cannot blame people for taking what's incentivized and in front of them.

One resource America has is a lot of space and we had many generations of easy money and government policy that encouraged such behavior.
Or cities in wallonia too. Like louvain-la-neuve or wavre.
If we keep building housing, it ceases to become an interesting investment. That's what would stop them.
One reason it's unpopular is that people have been saying it for hundreds of years, with varying (and generally increasing) levels of stridency, and have been consistently depantsed by advancing quality of life. You'd need either to be extraordinarily ignorant (of history) or extraordinarily irrational to prefer life in 1950 to 2023.
Anecdotally, of the many people I know who own second homes, ~80% or more are not rented out when the owner is not there. In at least half of the cases Airbnb is expressed prohibited by their community/municipality
There is no way that is true. Idk anyone that enjoys living in an apartment. Where are you getting that idea from?

Density is horrible for qol in my experience.
thanks, appreciate it! you also get the award for first comment :)
This is not a new problem. At almost every point in history there have been more people than ever before. Historically we have built more homes and cities for the new people to live in.
Honestly, the Model 3 Performance is the best bang for the buck in performance cars right now.
That is exactly what’s happening in many places. A new condo development went up near me, and over 80% of units were immediately purchased by investors. Not giant corporations, but local individuals buying for mainly AirBnB use.
I wonder what would be a really effective incentive to the construction industry to build more homes.

Something like -- no tax on any homes construction for the next 5 years. Wouldn't that create a construction boom?
I think you're right on, but this position is deeply unpopular with the people that own those additional homes. It should also be said that, anecdotally, the same people that own a bunch of homes as "investment properties" are also the most likely to be NIMBYs because their wealth is tied up in real estate property values.
exactly. Not everyone wants to own their own home. This actual increases rental supply.

if you want more housing, build more houses.

Changing % ownership of houses between individuals/companies via government mandates does not actually build more houses.
Even if it has some physical buttons, just take a look at the interior of a Tesla. It doesn't have nearly enough. I drove it for about 6 hours (it was a rental). And I distinctly remember being aggravated by the lack of physical controls. If they want to change their perception, maybe have more than just a touch screen in the middle of their dashboard.
Nobody should be surprised that removing an entire portion of the population would cause the homicide rate to fall the same way nobody would be surprised that there is less rainfall on a day that has less cloud coverage. This isn’t really addressing my point at all. The point is that crime happens because of a set of conditions. You cannot expect crime to be reduced if you remove the “criminals” without addressing the conditions that made them criminals in the first place. Homicide is not a good example here, a better example would be things like petty crime, vandalism, etc.
The commenter said "wealth inequality problem" which is basically about distribution of economic resources. If these resources were distributed differently those mansions would not be located on prime beachfront property. They may take completely different forms!
At one point nearly the entire demographic of e-reader devices was 'middle-aged women'. Not a powerful market, for reasons.

I will never buy an e-reader. I have many computing devices; I have many bookcases. There's just no situation where a dedicated reading device improves my life.
This is a weird hill to die on. Plenty of recalls have been issued for what amounts to software updates, that required driving it back to the dealership. I don't see why it should suddenly be called something else because the car has a connection to the Internet now, removing the need to have it physically present it update.
The future of X, if it has one, is to rip the backend off a Wayland compositor, deprecate most legacy features (server side fonts, most drawing primitives) and most visuals (e.g. Xrender has a required set of visuals; support those and no others) then test app by app you care about and add client side shims of there are any apps anyone cares about that can't be patched.

Most X apps these days use only a tiny subset of request types anyway (source: lots of time spent with xtruss) and most of what's left is easy to shim.

The X protocol is messy, but very little of it is used by software people both a) care about, and that b) isn't available in source form and can easily be upgraded.

Sometimes I wonder about taking wlroots and doing a FrankenCompositor with first class X protocol support, including window management and all the bits the Wayland proponents keep not wanting to add...
> Second homes tend to be in vacation locations

> AirBnBs

It's unfortunate that sometimes vacation destinations also can be places where lots of people want to live but the PP was not wrong.
It also degrades the visual quality of the sprites by not rendering them in 1 to 1 scale. From a modern standpoint where a bit of 3D does not have a wow factor I think it actually looks worse.
Communism creates an even worse underclass every time it has been tried.
> If there is any guiding light to the randomness, any pattern to how the random choices come out, then it's not really random, is it?

Well, yeah, that's the point. By definition, a deterministic model of reality means there is no room for a free agent to make decisions: things couldn't have worked out another way.

But a mechanism that appears random provides at least the potential for a free agent, since randomness is exactly what it looks like when you cannot predict system outputs purely from system inputs.

It's really a semantic issue. It's not that it's a source of randomness that we're after in order for free will to be possible, but rather non-causality, and quantum mechanics does provide some potential in that regard.
That's... still greed. It's just not a big deal to be greedy, because we all kinda are. We all have negative traits to some degree though.
If we remove the regulatory barriers to building more housing, the rich and the less rich can buy as much housing as they want.

Think about this in the context of any other good. No one worries that if we build more cars, they'll all be purchased by rich car collectors. Yes, when more cars are built, a few very rich people with many cars will buy more. But the increased supply also make it more economical for everyone to buy more cars.
> You can continue to keep using applications in X11-mode for as long as those applications maintain that code path.

Notice that I never said applications. I'm aware that xwayland is actually quite good these days; the problem is accessibility and automation tools that it can't support.

> would you have expected Apple to support Carbon ad-infinitum?

> Look at the backwards-compatibility and new-framework-adoption-rate woes Windows has to deal with because Win32 exists and devs are lazy / expensive.

Yeah, devs are expensive, which is why backward compatibility is so important. Microsoft, for its many faults, seems to understand that breaking applications every few years and demanding that developers put in time in order to keep things working is poor form, leading to people making comments like

> I’ll also give a shout-out to our friends in the Operating Systems business: Windows, Linux, NOT APPLE FUCK YOU APPLE, FreeBSD, and so on, for doing such a great job of backwards compatibility on their successful platforms.

In fact, the rest of that essay is a great commentary on exactly why this kind of thing is bad and why Apple should be derided exactly for this kind of thing.

> In addition, given the high industry demand for AV1 codec support, an AV1 decode extension release is imminent, with an AV1 encode extension development also underway.

That's good.

By the way, mpv already supports Vulkan video decoding:

Now we need OBS and Firefox supporting Vulkan video too.
How do you establish that there are too many? Do you have a metric for that?

Also - I think this is a popular point as most people would agree with this Malthusian outlook. (And by the way, Malthus was always wrong in his predictions, but that didn't impact his credibility or the longevity of this idea.) Everyone, it seems, promotes this outlook - Bill Gates, David Attenborough, most politicians - I never hear the opposite idea that we should increase the population (except via immigration).
I haven't found the distinction between unit tests and non-unit tests to be that useful in practice. The important questions are:

1. Is it kinda slow? (The test suite for a single module should run in a few seconds; a large monorepo should finish in under a minute)

2. Is there network access involved? (Could the test randomly fail?)

3. Do I need to set up anything special, like a database? (How easy is it for a new developer to run it?)

If the answer to any of those is Yes, then your test might fall in the liminal space between unit tests and integration tests -- they're unit-level tests, but they're more expensive to run. For example, data access layer tests that run against an actual database.

On the other hand, even if a test touches the filesystem, then it's generally fast enough that you don't have to worry about it (and you did make the test self-cleaning, right?) -- calling that test "not a unit test" doesn't help you. Likewise, if the database you're touching is sqlite, then that still leaves you with No's to the three questions above.
Aerodrome traffic circuit is the ICAO term for traffic pattern, which is it what it is called in the US (it may be in the glossary but the point is that manual uses "traffic pattern" repeatedly). And this "traffic circuit" you refer to is almost always a VFR thing, as IFR approaches use specific charted procedures that generally do not end with a traffic circuit.

All real estate is local. The areas with the most homeless also have the worst housing shortages
> which is a city where young people are trying to live and work.

I specifically quoted the part talking about "million dollar+ mansions" in "intercoastal areas".

The comment about condos in Miami not having lights on at 7-9PM was a separate point, but I don't think it's really true that "half" the condos in Miami are empty for no good reason. People work late, people go on vacation, people go out on the town.
Untrue - it often takes the form of: somebody bought a townhome in the city 20 years ago, they use the appreciation to buy a house in the suburbs, they move and keep the city home and rent it out.
However, I did do some prompt "engineering" alongside using your literal request. I definitely should make it clear that I didn't only use your request verbatim but I augmented it a bit with some additional prompting cues.
Georgism is nice and all, but it would have to not apply to individuals and small farms. People are already being taxed out of their land.
