AirFrance Missing Luggage
AirFrance- went to Morocco, my luggage was found the day after I arrived in Casablanca. AirFrance repeatedly assured me that they would forward my luggage to locations I would be staying in. Never happened. I went through contortions getting receipts in a country where credit cards and receipts are not the norm, but only one of my receipts was itemized. AirFrance has not reimbursed me for toiletries, makeup, shoes and a bag I needed for the 16 days my luggage was lost. I call,, I write and I get no response. I was very modest in my purchases but that doesn’t seem to matter. Any ideas as to what to do. I am angry.
> the only language with which i’m familiar that is a complete, unmitigated disaster is the english language

Out of curiosity, are you a native speaker of english or did you learn it as a second language?

I’m a native speaker and feel sorry for anyone who has to learn all its irregularities, etc. But the few times I’ve mentioned this to anyone who had to learn as a second language, they’d correct me and tell it was easy. Which baffled me.

Obviously as a native speaker, I’m in no place to judge it.

> So that means there's a responsibility for Quality of Implementation on those features, they're not really "replaceable" because they're in the fundamental standard library even on bare metal which means a "replacement" is just a parallel implementation. That's probably fine to some extent for std::unordered_map, but it's very silly for std::function, and I'd argue it's even silly for std::unique_ptr and std::string.

I think we agree here - you can replace std::unordered_map with absl::map etc, so the impact is lower. I do wish we'd stop doing it, though - see fmt.

I agree that it's incredibly stupid for std::function and std::unique_ptr to not be language level features - unique_ptr is the poster child for something that could faster and safer with less compile time overhead if implemented in the language rather than in the library.

> There is a proposal (which I'd guess you'll hate)

No, I think that's great actually, but I don't want that _and_ noinit/indeterminite (which is proposed in the link above) _and_ a new category of behaviour. I want one option, and I want failure of adherence to it to either be compiler enforced, implelentation defined, or Undefined Behaviour, _not_ "erroneus behaviour".

> The C definition of assert, which C++ inherits, is problematic here, because it's a no-op in release builds.

Sorry, yeah you're totally right. my day to day C++ work has a custom set of assertions that in release builds are basically the following (simplified for posting here) -

#define our_assert(conditional) \
if (!conditional) { \
log_stuff_and_flush() \
std::abort() \
}

> because it's a no-op in release builds.

This falls into the same group of back compat as the unwillingness to break ABI IMO - you can have an optimised build without NDEBUG, or an unoptimised build with NDEBUG, and the side effects of disabling bounds checking is turning assert into a noop.

> The old days of a software as an artisanal craft is long over imho.

In corporate or government software work, sure. But there are no guilds anywhere in those organizations... unless you count the upper executives.

You might not get paid for it, but the artisanal craft of software is alive and well in free and open source software around the world. Tons of those projects get posted to HN. An app can be a home cooked meal and all that jazz. Lots of open source has been corportized too, but many are closer to an artisanal craft guild than modern corporate software work.

And if it is your startup, you can write code however you want.
What kind of queries do you handle well? Do you index podcast transcripts?
A good point but kind of a weak article. It talks about the S&P 500 but that's obviously quite limited. I'd be more interested in a VTI-type (total stock market ETF) comparison. But even that hides the really interesting part about private companies, both big (e.g. Mars candy) and small ("Main St") not being reflected in the stock market. I don't know that we have a good tracker of those, other than some of the periodic BLS surveys?

Disclosures: I work for Amazon, but my positions as a long time Free Software advocate and copyleft supporter are my own. I do not speak for Amazon here. I served on the board of directors for Software Freedom Conservancy at its inception, but now I am only a financial supporter in an individual capacity. I do not speak for SFC either.

The SSPL isn’t the same as the GPL. The GPL is a tool that was invented to advance the Free Software movement agenda: protecting the freedoms of users of software. The SSPL does not do that. It protects the interests of companies that want to maintain exclusivity in offering software services.

This post from SFC can explain the problems with this far better than I can in a HN post: https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2020/jan/06/copyleft-equality...
Perception is highly influenced by top down information as the brain models what it expects to see. It’s complex, but attention learned representations of the world have an enormous influence on perception.
I agree that this is really cool, but this is a very contrived situation where the entire universe is arranged in such a way as to form a sort of fixed point. The vast majority of configurations of the Game of Life or of the real world are not fixed points and would break the clever tricks that are used to make this.

Also, because the simulation is infinite and speeds up and simplifies itself as you zoom out, you don't properly appreciate the fact that every layer is a thousand times slower than the layer that simulates it and contains a thousand times less cells (I don't know if it's a thousand). If you transposed this to the real world, it would take one kilogram of computing substrate an hour to simulate one gram of matter for 3.6 seconds and that's kind of useless.

I’m not familiar with this person in the slightest, I googled “Jasmin Paris pregnant” and found the proof you were looking for.

Have you ever read an article about a transgender athlete that didn’t mention the fact that they were transgender?

If you can find an article published by a news organization about a transgender athlete that neglects to mention that, I would be incredibly surprised. That’s why I’m not giving you the benefit of the doubt in this line of discussion, you’re complaining about an imagined problem that doesn’t exist.

> replying to your inline edit

Do you not consider the incentives when examining the actions of people and organizations? I suggest you start if you aren’t doing that.

News organizations sell controversy, transgender athletes are controversial. No competent news organization is going to miss out on clicks by neglecting to create controversy by mentioning the fact that a transgender person is transgender. Not because the news organization necessarily supports transgender individuals, but because they want to make as much money as possible.

Companies care more about money than supporting minority group ideology in virtually every case. That’s why I think you’re incorrect about your complaint that the media doesn’t properly identify transgender people.

If you really think a news org will let ideology trump revenue, I’ve got a bridge to sell you.

Monero is laundering embodied as a protocol. You mix your transactions in a series of "signature rings" - that gives me a pretty strong image of money in a laundry machine. It's definitely still possible to use it incorrectly (not enough laundering steps, converting ransoms to Bitcoin/fiat all at once).
This keeps coming up, but I've been around for a while and I'm pretty sure that saying no restrictions on field of use was part of the "full spirit and original intent" of open source.

Including the idea that you should be able to pay whoever you want to host a thing, without needing the permission of the authors to do so. While hosted things weren't common back then, the nearest analog is vendors selling you the thing (oh physical media, before widespread internet!), and that was always understood from the start as part of the full spirit and original intent of open source. That anyone could sell you the thing without license from the copyright holder.

Readings from RMS one of the originators of the "full spirit and original intent" of open source are also pretty clear here -- that part of the full spirit and original intent is nobody can tell you what to do with the software or limit what you do with it -- including basing your business on it without license from the author.

The fact that the OSI definition is what it is is also notable. It's not like the OSI definition/requirements/specification have _changed_, it's stayed the same for 25 years. And it was originally taken from Debian! If it didn't cover the original intent and spirit of open source, why weren't many people upset about it way back then? At what point did OSI "lose touch with their mission"... by... _not_ changing the 25-year-old requirements?

The original spirit and intent of open source was never about supporting ways for authors monetize code -- quite the opposite.

That doesn't mean you have to agree, you can have _different_ intent and spirit yourself, and it seems many people agree with you. You can think the original intent was always naive and a mistake. Or you can think times have changed and the original intent that may have worked at one point is not longer useful.

But what you can't do is retroactively redefine the "original intent and full spirit" of open source.
That's one problem, but the other is that big parts of our lives are moving online/digital, even in the physical world.

Getting gas at night in rural parts of the US without a credit or debit card is already practically impossible – there's nobody there to take your cash. Card-only restaurants, vending machines, shops etc. are already a reality in some countries as well.

I think we urgently need a semi-anonymous, cash-like alternative for low-value online and offline payments, because I feel like once we've lost the anonymity of cash completely, there's no way it'll be reintroduced in a digital equivalent.

The discussion around this seems largely poisoned though, with a lot of vocal crypto/libertarian takes on one side (often tangling the payment privacy aspect with monetary policy), and "nothing to hide, log everything, credit cards and ACH are perfection" on the other.
That is an absolutely beautiful bit of work.

The average doesn't tell you the shape of the distribution matters

Men's distributions on some things are a bit flatter than women's. As a result, the number of men at the endpoints (for those things) can easily exceed the number of women at those endpoints even when the women's average is higher.

The expectations are absolutely communicated, but usually behind a closed door, between the CEO and a consultancy's senior partner that may not even be involved with the project directly (because he's too high up). And there's no paper trail behind it (the CEO wouldn't want to be blackmailed later), but the agreement is upheld, because consultancy knows that if they don't deliver, there will be no further contracts coming in from that CEO.
And the replacement railway safety film “Robbie” which was shown well into the 80s - I remember being quite horrified by it, despite there being no blood or gore.

> LoC is about as good a measure of a system quality as weight is for an aircraft project.

This is a very good an analogy. A plane has to weigh something, but the absurdity of measuring how much progress you’ve made building a plane by how much weight you’ve added is immediately obvious.

You’ll have lower CO2 levels in a dense urban housing with windows open, than in a home in the middle of nowhere with the windows closed.

The issue isn’t the higher amount of CO2 in the ambient air in the cities (AIUI it is; marginally; but it doesn’t matter); it’s that CO2 is very good at concentrating in enclosed spaces.
I mean, they already did with this law, it’s just a “high” threshold of 10k. Get a few high profile instances of the law on the books “not being enough for current law enforcement to be able to do its job” and public indifference might allow you to go whole hog (or at least such a low threshold as to cover 95%+ of transactions).

Of course this is a slippery slope fallacy, but I have so little confidence in the surveillance state not to behave this way that thinking otherwise feels a bit pollyanna to me, but ymmv.

Microsoft reuses its OpenAI playbook
Have you heard of the thought experiment where a 2D plane is finitely sized instead of infinitely sized, but as you travel within the 2D plane, if you get to one edge, you wrap around to the opposite edge? Even though its size is finite, you can pick a direction and go that way forever.

If you sit in 3D space and look at this finite 2D plane, then it looks like (say) a rectangle. That's displeasing because from inside the plane, it's continuous, but from the outside, it looks discontinuous.

One way to get rid of that annoyance is to map the plane onto a torus. Then it looks continuous from the outside. It's no longer flat, which is un-plane-like, but you can't have everything in life.

Anyway, the zoom level of game of life is an infinite number line. But what if it repeats and can be represented as something that wraps around? You could think of it as a line segment that you wrap around into a circle (to join the two ends). So the same concept as mapping the plane onto a torus, except 1D instead of 2D.

You don't need to go full ECS. You can write a static member function that takes a set of objects of that class, and write a non-virtual inlineable member function, and still use your SceneManager approach to keep track of them if you like.

If you flew out of Europe:

Contact the French National Enforcement Body (NEB) and if Air France does not respond satisfactorily, you can file a complaint with the French NEB, the Direction Générale de l'Aviation Civile (DGAC). They are responsible for enforcing EU regulations on air passenger rights.

EU Air Passenger Rights: As an EU-based airline, Air France is subject to EU Regulation 261/2004, which establishes rules for compensation and assistance to passengers in case of denied boarding, flight cancellations, or long delays. This regulation also covers issues related to luggage. Familiarize yourself with your rights under this regulation.

If you need assistance with cross-border disputes within the EU, you can contact ECC-Net European Consumer Centres Network. They provide free advice and support to consumers who have issues with businesses based in another EU country.

Air France is a member of the European ODR (Online Dispute Resolution) platform. You can use this platform to submit your complaint and seek an out-of-court resolution.

If Air France fails to resolve your complaint satisfactorily, and the amount you are seeking is within the limit set by the European Small Claims Procedure, you can file a claim in the Small Claims Court in France.

If you flew from the USA, you have additional options for seeking assistance and resolving your complaint with Air France.

Contact the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), file a complaint with the DOT's Aviation Consumer Protection Division. They can help investigate your complaint and put pressure on the airline to resolve the issue.
Reach out to the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and file a complaint with the BBB. They can mediate between you and Air France to help resolve the dispute.

Use the Montreal Convention: Since your flight was international, it is governed by the Montreal Convention, which sets rules for airline liability in cases of lost, delayed, or damaged luggage. Under this convention, airlines are required to reimburse passengers for reasonable expenses incurred due to lost or delayed luggage.

Contact a lawyer specializing in aviation law: If you have incurred significant expenses and Air France is not cooperating, consider consulting with a lawyer who specializes in aviation law. They can advise you on your rights and help you take legal action if necessary.

File a claim with your travel insurance provider if you purchased travel insurance for your trip, check if your policy covers expenses related to lost or delayed luggage. If so, file a claim with your insurance provider to seek reimbursement.

Consider legal action as a last resort, if you have incurred significant expenses and Air France refuses to reimburse you, consider seeking legal advice to explore your options for taking legal action against the airline.
