>Of course it's rational

No, it is absolutely not.

Merchants can price their products however they want, and they have no obligation to sell to you. Customers can purchase a product if it suits them, including the price, and they have no obligation to buy from them.

The rational thing to do if buying a ticket from A to B is too expensive is to not buy it, let alone buy a ticket that flies to C.

>Being blacklisted is quite obviously a cost.

Don't break contracts you've signed if you don't want to get penalized.

>Passengers being blacklisted means that _rational_ customers doing this won't tell the airline.

Rational customers will tell the airline that their plans need changing/cancelling. This is just common decency as a human being, my dude.

>If the airline didn't want passengers to skip the final leg of their flight without telling them, they could simply allow the customer to notify them without extra costs. They choose blacklisting (or charging to to "change" your ticket to not take the final flight) and this is the result.

Sure, because airlines (and merchants overall) don't like it when customers try to change the deal on short or no notice. That said, if it's due to outside factors most airlines will try to accomodate you.

If you want to change the deal for unjustifiable personal reasons, of course you will get penalized.

>I mean I get that you work in the airline industry and hence align your arguments to those that profit the airlines,

I'm not, and I'm not sure where you drew that conclusion from. I am familiar with the aviation industry because I have family and friends who work(ed) in it (pilots, ATC, etc.) and I am a very frequent flyer myself.

>you really should accept that the airlines are knowingly creating this environment and that customers are just reacting exactly as you'd expect.

Most customers by and large are reasonable, they buy tickets that take them to their desired destination and the airline honors it. It's not a super power to be a decent human and conduct yourself professionally.
> Using a static website like this isn’t new – my inspiration was Twitter’s account export, which gives you a mini-website you can browse locally. I’ve seen several other social media platforms that give you a website as a human-friendly way to browse your data.

I've read somewhere that Telegram exports work this way, you get a bunch of raw files somehow organised with directories and browsable by themselves, with a tiny local static website to browse them more conveniently.

So different from the last such mass export I used: Google Takeout, which produces a dumb dump of cryptic xml and raw files named in some nonsensical (to the user) scheme. To this day I'm not even sure I got all the data I asked for before deleting it cloudside.

Agreed. My preferred PK in descending order is: natural key if it makes sense and would speed up queries, integer of an appropriate size, UUIDv7. I only rank it below integers because at best, they’re 16 bytes, and even a BIGINT is only 8 bytes.
This is pretty epic: This is pretty epic: During a patrol on November 22, 1952, Loring was leading a flight of F-80 Shooting Stars of the 80th Fighter-Bomber Squadron in an attack on a Chinese artillery position. During the run, his aircraft was struck by intense and accurate anti aircraft fire. Rather than abort the mission, Loring continued his diving run, aiming his disabled aircraft at the position and obliterating it, killing himself in the process. After his death, Loring was awarded the Medal of Honor and made the namesake of Loring Air Force Base in Limestone, Maine.
No? Those who earn less can save up money, it’s not like it will cost millions of dollars either.

And money is a lot more fungible than time, so in literally the dictionary sense, it is just as fair or even better (assuming the pricing stays below say a monthly salary).
Maybe on DOS. Doing any kind of IO usually implies “yielding”, which most interactive programs do very often. Exhausting its quantum without any IO decreases the task’s priority in a classic multilevel feedback queue scheduler, but that’s not typical for programs.

Asking for emails allows you to target people who are more likely to engage with your marketing, while people who find this annoying would probably be more critical of the product and in general are more picky. In the end they still give you engagement in a form of comments, so it's a win-win. Similar strategy is leaving easily spottable typos in your post so that nitpickers can't help but comment on it.
At this week’s dotAI conference, Ines Montani (who works on the SpaCy project) highlighted this ex-job as a warning to AI builders, so that they do not work on systems that have no future, because better and cheaper alarm clocks (for knocker-uppers) are coming.

In particular, she saw chatbots as being an inefficient user interface that would eventually be replaced by better integration between assistants and conventional UI.
100% on all points. I’m a fan of gatekeeping things that are hard to get right, and hard to undo. If you can prove that you know what you’re doing, by all means, own your stuff. But until then, yes, I’d like to watch over your shoulder, and hopefully teach you how to do it right.

The fact that DBs are data structures but are ignored has always irritated me. If I pushed a PR using lists for everything regardless of their practicality, I’d be rightly told to try again. But push a PR with a schema using similar suboptimal choices, and no one blinks an eye.

It usually never is exponential, see e.g. https://longform.asmartbear.com/exponential-growth/ that shows examples from "hypergrowth" companies where it's perceived these companies grew exponentially, but the growth actually followed a more quadratic form. About halfway through the article, the author shows another model that's more likely to fit these growth patterns: logistic growth. After initial rapid growth, followed by a period of linear growth, it eventually flattens out, indicating it's at "carrying capacity", or "market saturation".
You overwrite the entire array. Replacement is a safe, idempotent operation.

If you're concerned about concurrency for array updates, you'll usually need a form of concurrency control whether the database supports partial updates or not.
Genuinely asking, regarding Spectre (including ARM), does it really push the argument towards running sensitive software outside the cloud, even when it's resource-wise convenient? Sure, owning your hardware gives you control, but the key to mitigating Spectre is isolation. If your cloud provider can guarantee that your VMs aren't sharing physical resources with other customers (or that those resources are strongly isolated), then the Spectre risk is arguably comparable to running on your own hardware. Top cloud providers have more resources and expertise to dedicate to security updates and mitigations than a smaller operation. Maybe the real question isn't 'cloud vs. on-premise', but rather 'how well-isolated am I from other tenants in any environment?
I’d say it’s an interesting phrasing of a general principle, namely the four types of technical documentation. “Preparing people for decisions” is the first and third types (references and explanations) and “guiding people through tasks” is the second and fourth types (instructions and tutorials). IMO!
It's pretty cool, though I probably wouldn't spend for it, being a cheap bastard.

If you wanted to use encryption, you could set up a VM or Pi on your local WiFi network running Asterisk, and have the calls bridged, such as Asterisk <--> Jitsi, with the person on the other end using Jitsi; this would encrypt everything except the local Wifi portion, but anything leaving your home would be encrypted.

Any time a phone number touches the "regular" phone network, it must by law be allowed to be eavesdropped on (CALEA) by the government. So anything completing over SIP that used regular phone service could be intercepted. If you had encryption from the WiPhone to a shared Asterisk, such as with a group all using the same PBX then you might be able to avoid it.

Are you saying the hundreds of people at Tesla working on this are also liars?
> It actually proves we would be better off if we spent less and focused on lifestyle.

Speaking purely anecdotally, I can 100% get behind this. I live in a more rural area, work outside regularly, and a large majority of what I eat is either grown locally (without pesticides/herbicides) or I grow it myself. I haven't been to a doctor in 7 or 8 years and am in better shape, and feel better, than I ever have.

Its amazing the difference fresh air, fresh food, and time working in the sun and dirt can make.

Yes.

I love writing code... There's writing code and there's what I do in between.

Sure, code isn’t the goal, it’s a means to an end. Code is a liability. Senior SWEs don't write code, they solve problems. And so on and so forth... In a professional setting we deliver solutions as quickly as possible, with an eye on minimizing the maintenance burden as much as possible.

All of this is orthogonal to how much I love the process of thinking about and writing code :-). I feel lucky because I know not every pro SWE feels the same. Also, you don't have to feel the same to have a great career.
The philosopher of technology Lewis Mumford argued that the origin of modern industrial machines goes back further than the Industrial Revolution and Renaissance, all the way back to the regimented and time-based lives of medieval monks. Knocker uppers seem like a direct obvious example of this phenomenon of humans as proto machines.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_Mumford

As a funny personal note: one of my ancestors actually had the last name (Polish budzik) translated as “alarm clock,” which I assume means they had a similar sort of job as knocker uppers. I couldn’t find any equivalent last names in English though.
Using S3 presigned upload URLs with Hetzners's new object storage
Maybe you should actually read something from the official website before spending time writing multiple paragraphs assuming it's fake. Alot of the people involved in golang also were involved in bell lab's plan9 project, going back to the 1980s (Kernighan and Pike especially go back that far). The CSP threads from plan9 were influential in the development of the programming language. And you can find this on their official site:

Make a syscall for io. Now the kernel takes over and runs whatever it likes for as long as it likes.

Do no syscalls. Timer tick. Kernel takes over and does whatever as well.

Yeah bro the banks give out credit card points out of the kindness of their hearts, it's not like they charge merchants fees to make up for it which then get paid for by everyone in society because some cheap bozos think they're mining free amex points sitting in business class having not actually paid for it.

>Theoretical physics is highly mathematical, but it aims to explain and predict the real world. Theories that fail at this “explain/predict” task would ultimately be discarded.

This isn't really true, is it? There are mathematical models that predict but do not explain the real world. The most glaring of them is the transmission of EM waves without a medium, and the particle/wave duality of matter. In the former case, there was a concerted attempt to prove existence of the medium (luminiferous aether) that failed and ended up being discarded - we accept now that no medium is required, but we don't know the physical process of how that works.

What I consider the important takeaway of the article is that whatever system you use (aside from a freeform field) won't cover all cases and so the sanity-checking you perform on the names has to be very lenient.

For instance, if you go first/middle/last, you should accept names that have empty strings for any of those components.

Reverse Engineering Semiconductors with LLMs?
Fun watching this all unfold.

I am starting to suspect that LLMs, short term for a few years, will end up mostly having value as assistants to experts in their fields who know how to prompt and evaluate output.

I see an ocean of startups doing things like ‘AI accounting systems’ that scare me a little. I just don’t feel good having LLM based systems making unsupervised important decisions.

I do love designing and writing software with LLMs, but that is supervised activity that save me a ton of time. I also enjoy doing fun things with advanced voice mode for ChatGPT, like practicing speaking in French - again, a supervised activity.

re: ownership of IP: I find the idea hilarious that by OpenAI declaring ‘AGI achieved!’ that Microsoft might get cut out of IP rights it has supposedly paid for.

It does feel like the tech community as a whole has forgotten how simple and low resource usage hosting most things is, maybe due to the proliferation of stuff like AWS trying to convince us that we need all this crazy stuff to do it?

What the market will bear affects an already existing product. R&D is driven by one of two things:

1. An expectation of profit at the end.
2. A highly desired outcome from a motivated pool of Investors.

Price caps can dampen #1. Which can put more of the burden on #2 as a source of funding. Whether you think that is an improvement or not probably depends on your particular ideological position around markets and healthcare.

But there is definitely an objective argument to be made that this might decrease the speed of improvements in healthcare technology.
No? In india 2019, there was a terrorist attack where the jihadist organisation jaish-e-mohammad blew up a bus carrying soldiers via ramming a car filled with IEDs into the bus killing 40 people.
In response, india did the balakot airstrikes, killing ~300 terrorists in a training camp [identified via the number of phones that were working in the area that was bombed.]

300 is clearly a bigger number than 40, so was the attack wrong? india used it as an excuse to kill more people than what should be considered a good proportional response!

Since that attack[and other operations], JeM and others became fairly inactive and terrorist attacks have gone down by an insane number, what used to be a daily occurrence and a reason to not attend local festival celebrations due to threat of bombs is now a rarity.

Proportionality has nothing to do with defence. Why on earth would u kill only a few terrorists as a response? Israels actions are fucked up but proportionality does not apply to defence. If a state is retaliating to a threat, why would it leave the threat alive, which would only cost lives of more of its people?

Israel's airstrike policy is bad and roof knocking is not enough, the way israel conducts war is wrong and there needs to be intervention that is able to chain israel while eliminating hamas, demilitarising palestinian jihadist groups and stabilising the region.

But proportionality has nothing to do with defence.
you can be disproportional if that means the threat ceases to exist.

Few technical comments:

Go's calling convention is using registers, except when writing own assembly functions then it's stack-based; the latter is also how it worked in the past. See https://go.dev/s/regabi and https://go.dev/doc/asm

Build tags have a form "go:build" not "+build" since Go 1.17, that is for couple of years already.

More about build tags: using both build tags and filename suffix for arch-based conditional compilation is redundant. Just use one of them, not both.
Each color is a different build running on a different server. And then a load balancer picks which server you'll end up on.

Code-wise, the only difference between the builds is the CSS setting the link color.
Pinning on a core like this is done in areas like HPC and HFT. In general you want a good assurance that your hardware matches your expectations and some kernel tuning.

> A four foot tall person arrives.

But there is no such person arriving -- instead, there's an entity claiming to take four feet off the room's total height.

A better analogy would be that there's a room with a feast laid out: A 100-pound side of beef, a few 10-pound roasts, and a host of steaks in various smaller sizes scattered around. The table is laid out for dozens or hundreds. Then a single man comes in and says that he's taking forty pounds of meat. This would be, at best, disruptive -- unless the other guests at the table don't plan on eating much.
Using the free market to respond to a shortage requires competition. Patents can make this impossible. When you have a fixed supply of something and no other entity can produce it having an uncapped price doesn't really help the market respond. Consider the example of a Taylor Swift concert. Are scalpers creating more supply by raising the prices of tickets or is it pure rent seeking?

And, to many, the difference between "expensive bread" and "no bread" in the case of drugs is entirely academic.
