Am I wrong to feel personally that lowering the hiring standards for ATC controllers is a step in the wrong direction?

I'm personally terrified every-time I get on a plane. If you go to a restauraunt, your order coming out right and not making you sick depends on like, 3-4 systems/employees/supply chains/whatever. I'd say it's like 80% fine most of the time.

How many supply chains does a plane go through? 80% fine most cuts it for like... mild tech production incidents, screwed up food orders

How does it work out for airplanes/ATC?

Why do you think your issue has anything to do with electron? That sounds like a meme.

It is your drives, no? Does the browser make your system drives work a bunch? Much more likely, it is VSCode running ripgrep (rg in htop/activity monitor) in the background to find symbols in your codebase.

That would be exactly the same regardless of GUI toolkit.

And I want it to be able to handle lots of connections. One server might not be enough, so it needs to scale. The process could also take a while, so I need a queue. Yeah I could setup, AWS API Gateway, SQS, ECS with Autoscaling etc. But that's a lot of boilerplate.
For the last 5 years we've had a 300k houses a year target. We're over half a million short on that number.

Stamp duty is terrible, it stops movement. Replacing with increased property tax (say at 1/10th of stamp duty per year) would be far more sensible. Or we could just tax the land -- good look offshoring that.

I got a panic phone call from one of of the companies I used to do contract work for, "Do you know how to buy bitcoin? We got hacked and the website isn't working and we're trying to pay so we can use our computers again."

I stopped what I was doing and drove over there. Luckily someone DDoS'd the pay site so they couldn't pay. I asked them what they were thinking. They told me that they were going to pay with their super prestigious credit card and refute the charge as fraud because in their words, "Technically, this is fraud."

I shook my head and cleaned it up and restored the backups. I asked them a week later how much data was lost. They asked me what I was talking about. Apparently they didn't have anything important they did since the backup ran the night before. They switched to a SaaS shortly afterwards. Then raided by the government & shut down a couple years later. Good times.

In my view customer service has never been better. I’ve always been able to get a human on the phone wherever I am trying to call, and by being polite and considerate can most often get exactly what I want. In other cases, livechat - as long as you are willing to multitask and go back and forth to the chat for an hour - has freed up a lot of my time so I don’t have to be stuck on a hold phoneline.

Maybe this issue is like search engines, where they can be really frustrating to use if you don’t know the right things to say to them.

I misread your original comment, but I don’t think replacing the management company is any easier than purchasing the freehold, aside from capital considerations.

The right exists in principle, but 50% of flats (as I understand it, all of them, including flats that are not demised under lease, but under AST from the freeholder, and who do not form part of the quota) must agree to form a management company before it can take effect.

> If I own a lease and then rent it out on an AST I want to reduce my costs to increase my profits.

In a demand-skewed market you will just pass the higher cost on in rent; it’s not going to make it any less likely that you manage to let it out.

Furthermore, even contacting the owners of sublet flats, let alone convincing them they should spend money and endure potential disruption, can be difficult, making it hard to reach the threshold.

In a small block it might be easy, in a high-rise with 200 apartments, it’s trickier.
Router. I'm asking about a modem, or a modem/router combo that every company makes, but doesn't exist in the open hardware world.

I was referring to the "Best Books of 2023" section, which (for every sublink) produces the behavior I'm describing.

So okay, fine - only part of the site is based on straight-up favorite counting. But then I did some topical searches, and the result definitely appears to be algorithmic as well (judging by the large number of plainly off-topic matches).

I'm not saying this is a horrible site or that there's no potential for the basic idea behind it. It definitely seems to be more appealing, and potentially more useful than most online bookstores I've seen.

But whatever you're doing - it's definitely not the same as actual human curation.
This certainly opens up completely new perspectives on the replication crisis in the social sciences ...
Does this not just break all DNS-resolved internet traffic for these devices at this point? Seems like the resolvers for fritz.box. are resolving *.fritz.box. to 45.76.93.104. I would assume the affected (Windows?) clients aren't working at all when they get this kind of response for something like google.com.fritz.box.

So you assume social media is required for a successful life? I bet there were people that would have argued in the ‘50s and ‘60s that the social aspect of smoking was helpful to having a successful life back then too. Never mind the cancer and all being popular with your peers is what’s important.

> I decided to join Flatiron School. If you couldn't secure a job after completing their course, you didn't have to pay them anything.

This is key.

I went to a boot camp as well, one of the ones that required an admissions interview, which was legit difficult for a newbie.

The boot camp model is actually very good if implemented well. Of course, there is corruption and grifting, and a lot of innocent people regrettebly lost money.

So if you are considering a boot camp, do one that is difficult to get into and has an income share agreement.[1]

[1] Income share agreements can be sketchy too. Sometimes, if you get a job that is not related to tech (retail job, for example), they will ask you to pay back.
I guess if the resolution fails Windows will fallback to a resolution without the DNS suffix, but I'm not entirely sure how it works, and what other operating systems do.
That’s fast :) Do you get notified when someone mentions your product, or are you _that_ active?
Too true.

I was introduced to a quote from cartoonist, Guindon: "Writing is nature’s way of letting you know how sloppy your thinking is." From Leslie Lamport.

Although in my experience, thinking is something that is not always highly valued among programmers. There are plenty of Very Senior developers who will recommend, "just write the code and don't think about it too hard, you'll probably be wrong anyway." The whole, "working code over documentation and plans," part of the Agile Manifesto probably had an outsized influence on this line of reasoning. And honestly it's sometimes the best way to go: the task is trivial and too much thought would be wasted effort. By writing the code you will make clear the problem you're trying to solve.

The problem with this is when it becomes dogma. Humans have a tendency to avoid thinking. If there's a catchy maxim or a "rule" from authority that we can use to avoid thinking we'll tend to follow it. It becomes easy for a programmer to sink into this since we have to make so many decisions that we can become fatigued by the overwhelming number of them we have to make. Shortcuts are useful.

Add to this conflict the friction we have with capital owners and the managerial class. They have no idea how to value our work and manage what we do. Salaries are games of negotiation in much of the world. The interview process is... varied and largely ineffective. And unless you produce value you'll be pushed out. But what do they value? Money? Time? Correctness? Maintainability?

And then there's my own bone to pick with the industry. We gather requirements and we write specifications... some times. And what do we get when we ask to see the specifications? A bunch of prose text and some arrows and boxes? Sure, some one spent a lot of time thinking about those arrows and boxes but they've used very little rigor. Imagine applying to build a sky scraper and instead of handing in a blueprint you give someone a sketch you drew in an afternoon. That works for building sheds but we do this and expect to build sky scrapers! The software industry is largely allergic to formalism and rigor.

So... while I agree, I think the amount of thinking that goes into it varies quite a lot based on what you're doing. 11/12? Maybe for some projects. Sometimes it's 1/2. Sometimes less.

Folks did this plenty prior to Electron, either by using cross-platform GUI toolkits (GTK and Qt both run on Windows, Java's been doing this forever with Swing and JavaFX, etc), or by writing GUIs for multiple toolkits/OSes that work with the same/similar core application logic.

Electron makes it easier to build cross-platform apps, and certainly cheaper, but it's not like it's the only way to do it.
I had to buy UltraEdit which is capable of handling 10GB files (the size in my case). Nothing else that I tried would work. Of course, this was ten years ago. I havent had to work with very large text files since then.

I was very much going to take a similar approach to help train a child to know what the right behavior is. I have four children and it turns out they're all very different in terms of varying amounts of self control. I can definitely with my second one to use it at appropriate times but my oldest is way too impulsive and doesn't have the self control to exercise good behaviors (this isn't just a smartphone problem).
I'll +1 to this. Coming from Australia to the US I've found that (generally, especially in big corp entities/govt.) American customer service is always extremely courteous and eager but ultimately unhelpful or severely limited in what they can do. As soon as you are off script, good luck.
I would say very young children up until they acquire concepts like a theory of mind, cause and effect happening outside of their field of observation, and so on, are pretty rigid in many ways like computers. It's a valuable insight.

Or at least they don't make mistakes in exceptionally novel and unusual ways until they're a bit older.
Caution about directly typing domain names is exactly the opposite of what we've told people for twenty years.
It's fast enough for me to not notice any slowness.
I switched to it from JetBrains IDEA because it was literally causing seconds of delays when scrolling / entering code during heavy indexing in large projects.
I never noticed anything of the sort in vscode, even if extensions are doing a lot of background work I don't notice any significant impact in the UI, I can always scroll and type without interruption.

I tried out zed, I don't really find it noticeably faster, although I'm sure it is! I guess there are people who are more sensitive to this sort of thing but for me it's really completely fine.
Here in germany you often get a Fritz Box from your internet provider (preconfigured with access data). So for 99% of users, switching to another router is not an option because thats simply the device that came with their internet access. But apart from this issue those are really nice and capable devices.
And Zed?
> in part to keep costs down, and this version is also likely to be used for the EV2. As a result, it wouldn’t be capable of ultra-fast charging, although this is unlikely to be a major requirement of family buyers travelling shorter distances.

A family might not *need* ultra-fast but plenty - for peace of mind - will likely *want* it. If only cause why not. If only cause faster is better than slower, etc.

It would take a single competitor to say, "Ultra-fast charging because life happens and family emergencies are real..."

Finally, it should also be mentioned that charging speed has a direct effect on capacity of the charging station network. The slower a vehicle charges, the less vehicles you can charge. Put another way, slower charging likely means more charging stations, and there is cost and eco-impact from those as well.
Your comment feels like a knee jerk reaction.
This is stupid clickbait title, and the article isn't even very precise. Yes, that whole fritz.box situation is known and bad. But the problem discussed here doesn't nearly apply to every situation. Specifically, the box's builtin resolver (which is still used by default by a lot of things) knows not to forward fritz.box requests to the outside. That is, `dig google.com.fritz.box` and everything else say NXDOMAIN when you're using the builtin DNS.
That's jamming, not shielding.

Is that possible though ? Always wondered about free market logic especially when certain sectors can be priced any ways they want (like healthcare). Are there regulations that cover pricing fluctuations ?

My understanding is that most regulations are generally related to essential commodities like groceries and used during emergency times.

I thought of an example of my own so I don’t accidentally throw my wife under the bus accidentally.
I was on a flight and it was cancelled for some reason after we had boarded. We all had to go to the customer service desk to make new arrangements and whatnot. The dude in front of me didn’t like the solution they provided (if I recall it was a night in an airport hotel and a flight out next day). He started yelling, berating the customer service person, generally being an ass, and they ended up giving him airline miles and an upgrade in the future in addition to he initial offer. Being next in line and having overhead everything I said “I’d like the offer you gave him”. They said “no”. So I guess at that point I can either accept the initial offer or start yelling like the other guy did until they give me the good offer. The incentive in this system is to act like an ass. Pretty unfortunate.
It can even be done in BASIC for that matter, provided there is a compiler toolchain that supports eBPF as target.

Yes, it can be done in C and C++.

New typing model simulates the typing process instead of just predicting words
Yes, and K-selected species are much more likely to end up dying off. So we're considering an intelligent species that both managed to stay intelligent and also managed to survive against numerous predictable obstacles, including even overcoming hedonism itself which we may one day be able to 'produce' as infinitely and cheaply as anything else.

It really limits the practically viable type of groups that we'd run into, and largely rejects the overwhelming majority of the tropes of sci-fi. Because most utopic visions in sci-fi assume a sort of post-scarcity universe where practically everything is available in practically infinite quantities. Yet exactly 0 (to my knowledge) have ever explained how this didn't just result in mass self indulgence driving an extinction level fertility crisis.

In fact the only episode I can even think of that hit on this was "The Game" [1] in Star Trek, and it ended up being some trite story about the addiction being used as a foreign weapon, and not as an naturally emergent self destructive behavior of a society that surpasses certain technical/material milestones.

Skipping over the bad idea that this fritz.box-domain is for a bit, this seems like a pretty major failure on the part of ICANN to prevent name collisions. IIRC they had a whole bunch of plans and policies to prevent name collisions 10 years ago, but somehow a popular brand of modems failed to come up?
That’s very subjective and case dependent. I use local models most often myself with great utility and advocate for giving my companies the choice of using either local models or commercial services/APIs (ChatGPT, GPT-4 API, some Llama derivative, etc.) based on preference. I do not personally find there to be a large gap between the capabilities of commercial models and the fine-tuned 70b or Mixtral models. On the whole, individuals in my companies are mixed in their opinions enough for there to not be any clear consensus on which model/API is best objectively — seems highly preference and task based. This is anecdotal (though the population size is not small), but I think qualitative anec-data is the best we have to judge comparatively for now.

I agree scoreboards are not a highly accurate ranking of model capabilities for a variety of reasons.

It's how the mechanism of DNS suffices works. Especially on Windows, because Windows rewrites all DNS requests with the suffix (even simple requests like google.com). To me it's surprising that somehow not everyone is affected. I only learned that in the comments here.
I have a Pi-Hole w/ unbound upstream, and the pi-hole is set to conditionally forward requests to *.fritz.box to 192.168.178.1, but should not forward it outside (i.e. to unbound). Quote:

"You can also specify a local domain name (like fritz.box) to ensure queries to devices ending in your local domain name will not leave your network, however, this is optional."

This is in the Conditional Forwarding section to the Pi-Hole, so I assume it's OK.
>very hard to get nice depth / bokeh

F1.2 lenses are quite widely available for micro 4/3 systems, which is equivalent to f2.4 on full frame in terms of depth of field. Not enough to get you absolutely razor thin depth of field, but perfectly sufficient to blur the background.
I just assumed it was a metaphor for runaway climate change, which they didn't want to spell out because of the political noise it'd generate. Just like in Matrix I assumed that the nonsensical "humans as energy source" was a metaphor for "humans as coprocessors."
