Recently I attempted to buy concert tickets from a well known ticket seller. It insisted I was a bot, even after disabling my uMatrix and uBlock Origin. There was no way to prove that I was not, not even a CAPTCHA. So I decided to simply not buy any tickets.

This is just one example. I get increasingly frustrated by how shit everything is and my way of dealing with it is to disengage. It is rather sad, but I was not put on this earth to wrangle apps, QR codes, verification codes, passwords, usernames, e-mails, TOTP codes, updates, activation codes, etc.
The biggest challenge here isn't the tech/standards problem.

It's what this signals for the future of the planet's climate.
> Not true always

Except that you go on to describe boards being sorted by time? They may also sort by destination or airline, which are the other pieces of information that I noted passengers already know. You can't use an airport without knowing your departure time and airline, and while it's technically possible to use the airport without knowing your destination (sort of... in point of fact, whenever I check in, the clerk invariably asks me where my final destination is), that's not a scenario that's ever going to come up.

Nobody knows their flight number, and therefore they don't use it for any purpose, including the purpose of identifying their flight.

> and a bit frustrating way, because often I know my flight destination, but not precise time (& sometimes time shifts around), sorted by pure time.

What's the frustrating part? If you don't know the precise time, why does that matter? Knowing it to within an hour will unambiguously identify the flight.

Show HN: My Email focus hack and stopping marketing distractions
Hi everyone,

I am someone with a short attention spam and Emails consume a great amount of my day.
I can easily get distracted by the new notification counter.

AI is great, but I don't want to actually "chat with my emails".
That's why I decided to both unify all my emails together and create some initiatives to keep me Focused.

It's been very helpful to me and I am making it available broadly.

You can check it out at the link.

I am also looking for feedback on features you'd like to see and how helpful it can be.

Thanks for your feedback
your code is not manipulating dom. your code is interacting with a library that manipulates the dom. That library has to interface with javascript. You are still doing all dom manipulation via js, it's just hidden behind the library. If you inlined all functions from that library you'd get code that interacts with js.

tldr: no, you can't possibly be doing that. Because an api for it literally, objectively does not exist.

It's a trade-off. Most of the business world ran on, and to some extent still runs on, Excel programs.

There are no tests there, but for the non-tech types who created these monsters, spending time on writing a test suite has a very real cost - there's less time to do the actual job they were hired for!

So, yeah, each test you write means one less piece of functionality you add. You gotta make the trade-off between "acceptably (in frequency and period) buggy" and "absolutely bullet-proof no matter what input is thrown at it".

With Excel programs, for example, if the user sees an error in the output, they fix the input data, they don't typically fix the program. It has to be a dealbreaker bug before they will dive into their code again to fix the program.

And that is acceptable to them.
the problem is that because it's js, it's much slower than it can be.
i would say that is right - an OS should be managing multiple processes. cp/m certainly did not do that - but i know nothing about RTOSs.
> What do you mean by "lose them"? They are in the browser, stored for next session. Why would they be lost?

From time to time, usually when Chrome crashes, it restarts without the tabs history saved so you cannot restore them. I also can't remember the last time this happened tho, it's been at least a few years.
Install from Curl has an undeservedly bad reputation. The only real issue is that it makes hiding malware slightly easier.
The issue is intel guidelines are basically nonsensical and contradictory. What they claim is "recommended" settings is basically three separate sets of options, with no clear indication which is the actual so-called baseline. Which was probably done entirely on purpose as to faciliate blame slinging.
I've had the most current publicly available models fail to give me even simple correct boilerplate code, but the guy is like: ...we have to be nuanced but, "Converting dozens of programs to C or Rust to improve performance 10-100x."? Seriously?

I also recently asked openai's gpt 4 which number is bigger, 3.8 oder 3.11, and it was pretty damn sure that it's 3.11, because 11 bigger 8, obviously. Another time I asked Meta Llama 3.1 70B and gpt 4 multiple times using a variation of prompts to suggest a simple code example for a feature in a project I was working on. They confidently provided code that was total nonsense, configuration that did nothing and even offered a dependency that didn't exist but somewhat sounded like the prompt itself.

I cannot predict the future. Maybe all of this will lead to something useful. Currently though? Massively overhyped. I've talked to CS colleagues and friends who also work as software developers that are all way more competent than me about their experiences, and some were exited about the prospects, none could provide a current use case for their work. The only instances I know in which people talk positively about these models are in online articles like this or in comment sections adjacent to them. Never in real live among actual developers in person.
And how does the caller extract those fields?

> If you aren't perfect at magnetizing iron, and you need a working compass, you better magnetize two needles and use one to test the other. The worse you are at magnetizing iron, the more important it is that you do this if you want to end up with a working compass.

This is modern testing in a nutshell - it's ineffective but the author of the test can't actually tell that!

Using this analogy, if you created 10 magnetised needles using the wrong process and getting the wrong result, then all 10 would agree with each other and your test passes, but your needle is still broken.
I can confirm for AirAsia and Lion Group, and IIRC Ryanair also do this with their UK subsidiary with different flight prefixes and different aircraft registration numbers.
If a future change is relevant to an existing piece of code then the logic needs to be rethought from scratch. Your past tests have no guarantee that will be still relevant or comprehensive.

So skip the tests and work more on the code instead.

> And so the university turned to a more radical approach: making all vacancies for academic staff open only to women for six months, after which, men would be welcome to apply too

Well yeah, not really a surprise that most men aren't going to be on board with a policy of refusing to hire them based on their sex.

They say that the policy was a huge success, but they only seem to be judging it based on the number of women hired, which seems pretty tautological.
The only problem with them is that they will search for and book flights with exactly the maximum luggage allowance that you specify, and they don't make this clear or really point out that you need to specify an amount of luggage corresponding to the amount you'll be taking with you.

They will also show you itineraries that result from booking separate legs of the flight separately, which I'm guessing is what you're referring to. That's not in the fine print; you cannot possibly avoid being made aware when that's happening.
Many are pouring billions into AI hoping to revolutionize everything from stock picking to risk assessment. The "compute war" sparked from this for processing power and talent, potentially leading to massive job displacement and a reshaping of the industry's hierarchy.

The West has a reasonable interest for this not to become a truly all out war (which can go nuclear in extreme scenarios).

Many of the early 1950 - 1970 OSes did not had the notion of multiple processes, only jobs processed in batch.

Many RTOS don't have processes, only tasks, which depending on the nature of the OSes can be cooperatively or preemptively scheduled. Also everything is linked together and deployed as a single execution unit into the hardware firmware.

So again, by the same definition, when using cooperative scheduling, they aren't OSes.
This is something else (faking country of origin, basically a very common scam) and actually not an issue in regards to toxicity as you cant import the china garlic into EU without checking it for forbidden chemicals. It is not locally grown, but it is not harmful as you couldn't import it in this case.

Similar scam is getting a fish or squid in local Adriatic coast restaurants, where in most cases you are getting frozen fish/squid from Asia. There is barely any restaurant serving local fish (and they will lie about origin and mask the taste with excessive amounts of garlic), as most of local fish harvest is being sold immediately in the morning to fish markets internally, to Zagreb and Ljubljana. Barely any fish stays in coastal region as capital cities users are able to pay much more for it. While you will pay dearly for restaurants that are actually able to get a grasp on fresh local Adriatic fish, you can forget about 20 euros bills, and rather add another 0.

Or "home made" virgin olive oil mixed with olive oil from cheaper countries or even ordinary oil. Most of tourists will never be able to figure it out. Another thing that shouldn't be bought from someone you dont know personally.

The warning I have posted is about poisoning the locally grown and uncontrolled vegetables with forbidden pesticides bought on black market.

Btw, it is a rarely known fact that the cacao was really bad regarding the pesticide content before the EU took a hit on cacao producers and they needed to adapt to be able to sell on EU market. Now the whole world is eating much more healthy chocolate. :)

And it is continuing, no deforestation etc.:

If it's a problem for only 3 airlines in the world, give them a new two letter code, if there are any of those codes left. So airline AA will start using also code ZZ for some of their flights. Travelers will be a little puzzled at first but they'll stop noticing soon.

I sorted the airlines by two letter codes [1] and the list is pretty busy but hex 20 for Space is still available.

Most video games have a full team of QA testers doing functional testing on the games as they go along.

Same thing for the kernel, plus some versions are fully certified for various contexts so you can be sure fully formalised tests suites exists. And that’s on top of all the testing tools which are provided (Kunit, tests from user spaces, an array of dynamic and static testing tools).

But I would like to thank all the people here who think testing is useless for their attitude. You make my job easier while hiring.

What do you mean by "breeding age"? Women of course undergo menopause at some point. Men may have peak vigour around age 40, but can continue reproducing into their sixties or beyond. In modern forager populations in Africa and Australia, it's common for men to take wives at such an advanced age.

See eg https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/46398103/s12110-000-10... . I don't know about the overall hypothesis, but there's some fascinating data there about how old men can get whole still playing important tribal roles.
There's a far worse problem: that you effectively need to use it from preprocessor macros, which effectively prevents it from being used from being used in sane interfaces.

I don't know C++ too deeply but from the little bit in the article, it seems like these `enum class` enums are actually Newtypes with associated constants instead of actual enumerations. They clearly don't 'enumerate' all possible values but they do give different behavior from their underlying type.

Is it possible to override the constructor so it limits the allowed values? Implement other methods on the `enum class`? If so then that makes them still very useful, albeit not in the usual `enum` sense.

There is a difference between an API promissing that a value wont be null and a buggy program setting a null where it should not. A reference is only null if someone fucked up. As a programmer you can usually rely on a reference not being null and you couldn't do anything about it if it was anyway within the constraints of the language.

Farm bot is allegedly open source, so you have access to every part of the design. If you're building some to use off grid, you're a DIYer and are already relying on yourself for many things. You can also stock spare parts when you do the initial build.

That's some particular Etihad setup then? When I travel there's often codeshare involved, but as long as the ticket (and the boarding pass shows this) is from the airline I booked with, then I get lounge access (if my ticket allows it) and everything else if there's anything. Doesn't matter if the actual flight is with some other company.

Can technology fix the 'broken' concert ticketing system?
I completely agree with what you're saying - tests help me ensure nothing breaks and change stuff fast. But leaving EVERY code behind is a liability. In the best case, it's free, otherwise, it's another point of failure and other engineers might spend time understanding it.

Code is a liability. It has to have a good reason to be there in the first place - in the case of tests, it's worth it because it saves more time on bugs, but this can easily turn into a premature optimization.
That comment explains the issue but exaggerates the impact. Sure, a change can be made and alphanumeric may not be right. No it won't be anything like the recent Crowdstrike issues. The impact of making a change on downstream systems is solved by planning it out. Communicating the intent and setting a switch over date. Some people may not heed the notices and their systems will crash. That's unfortunate, but just like Y2K or other mandatory updates, it must be done and when a crash happens it will suddenly become very important for that downstream app to issue a patch and at least they will know where/why the break happened.

In terms of datatypes, I like the idea of just going with a 5 digit integer. It seems fairly straightforward to change in most databases/systems. And while having a much smaller upper limit, it's 10x bigger than the limit that's taken us 60 years to reach.

Also, he mentioned no Alphanumeric datatype in Excel Format Cells. It's called General, because it's the default and most of that apps user's don't know what VARCHAR is.
It’s scary headlines like this: ‘trampled’, ‘crashes’, that put off less informed, risk averse individuals on lower incomes/ net worth, from investing in stocks.

It’s a shame, as ETFs, and hell, index funds if you must, outperform savings on a 3 year or even less horizon.

Yes, my portfolio dropped 7% this month. I’m still up 6% YTD and 13% in the last 12 months.

My horizon is well over 5 years. It would be an easy way to slow or even reduce my net worth if I were to put it all in a savings account.

Yet this is what a lot of folks do, frightened by scary bombastic headlines without a balanced long sighted story.

Current stock performance is very notable and newsworthy, yet lacks any narrative outside of short term performance.

Quick warning to all the folks here praising OneTab. The extension is wonderful for easily, quickly saving, importing and exporting tons of tab links, but for me at least, it has crashed more than once over a couple years of use and completely erased all the links I had saved to it.

I learned to periodically export all my OneTab links in the extension's export option and save them to text files named by date range. I'd suggest the same or similar to anyone using OneTab and obsessive about saving tab links.
