Username checks out. Agreed, make is great and this seems like a reinvention (or rediscovering?) of it. Bazel is another good tool if something with more magic is needed
It would be great if we could end this arms race of bigger and bigger cars - they're less efficient, worse for pedestrians (bad sight lines and likeliness of injury if hit), take up more space and most of all - completely unnecessary in most cases!
Moka Pot is the way imo - thick, rich tasting coffee that can be used like espresso (in a latte or Americano, etc...) made by a simple and easy to clean device.
I think Learjet brand name has strong connotations with old tech and early days of private GA jets. Also, there is lots of competition at this size of a/c from newer/more modern designs (Pilatus PC-24, Embraer Phenom, Cessna Citation variants) and a very limited buyer pool
This sparked my memory of using "var self = this;" and "var _this = this;" Can't put my finger on it, but _this_ seems quite funny looking back on it (not to say it didn't work...)
have you looked at real estate prices, healthcare, education - inflation and money supply changes do not impact every asset at the same time and by the same amount
I used to be quite active on Quora, but have noticed a decline in content and ux quality - seems like they are trying to 'growth hack' in a way that is not benefiting users, e.g.:
- Links to other questions open in new tabs
- Most content is not shown unless you login, they are really trying to push being logged in and their mobile app
- Answers with images seem to be ranked higher (even if poor quality)
- Clickbait-y questions and answers
I hope they can return to quality since in the beginning it was such a great resource - it was awesome to be able to get answers from domain experts, celebrities, etc... and the site was very usable.
The system is broken. I think a fundamental issue is that insurance is not really insurance - it is used to cover routine, expected things such as a flu shot (while increasing cost for these and adding complexity, bureaucracy, middlemen). E.g. car insurance does not cover oil changes and home insurance does not cover getting the gutters cleaned - they're there for major events.
This comment is sadly familiar to me - it sounds exactly how my friends in healthcare describe the state of their industry (more admin, fancy buildings, less focus or spending on patient care).
The quote from Marc Moller seems counter to what I have seen as the prevailing thought regarding aviation accidents, which is: accidents are the result of a "chain" of failures; if any link in the chain does not occur the accident can be avoided. It is easy to say "software bug" or some single thing caused this failure, but there are many other factors that need to be considered: a/c certification requirements, training requirements (sim time, transitioning to new variants of an a/c), design philosophy for the Max, etc...
(Not an expert, but private pilot, have read many NTSB accident reports).
Right, telecom is a great example of where breaking up an entity benefited the consumer and prevented monopoly. /s (all the bells merged back in some form or another into present day AT&T and Verizon).
"People don't understand how the DOM works" x 1000. Many front end devs I have worked with are not aware that the DOM IS A TREE (and implications of this)!
I had a similar experience. I wish Ractive would have gained more traction; it was a good balance of "enough functionality that a web UI requires" and "simple enough to avoid cognitive overload and allowed for quick ramp up".
I wonder how significant the cost differences are for Apple with this move, especially since they mention previously manufacturing in the US and that many components are sourced in the US. How high will the margins be on these devices??
