Speaking just for Angular, things seem to have settled down a lot. The applicaton was originally created under 13 and has been migrated to 14 and just recently to 15. Those upgrades were quick and painless. Some new features come with eac

I remember :) The problem with Visual Studio was the sudden removal of color changed people's "muscle memory" on where certain items were on a complex toolbar or menu system. I have no idea who thought that was a good idea,

That's why they have to leave a lot of this stuff alone. It's why there is both a Settings application as well as a legacy Control Panel. There are thousands of applications in the wild that still do all sorts of insane hooks dee

I wonder this also. As someone who manages a team off highly talented offshore developers, who are working for a fraction of the pay that US developers get, it makes me concerned that this is all going to average out. And if it averages out

Southwest Airlines received over $7B in federal pandemic aid and used it as soon as they legally could to start paying dividends and doing stock buybacks. Not investing in IT or the fragile infrastructure that was recently on display.

With a normal airline, you have pilots sitting on "reserve" at bases, who can be called in at any time to fill in any gaps that may occur. They are being paid but are not flying, it's quite a good gig if you can get on the r

Very interesting. People keep saying ChatGPT isn't that impressive because it's just "regurgitating knowledge" and has no insight into it, or things along those lines. But I find it insanely impressive that you can spec

It actually is because of the weather. The storms left planes and crew scattered around at all the wrong airports, so they essentially have to reboot the system. Other airlines are not affected by this as much as they fly out of hubs.

by EMM_386 4y ago
A lot of this really does come down to the fact they don't fly hub-and-spoke. When planes and crew are delayed somewhere, it cascades down the entire line and all the aircraft and crews are now at the wrong airports. With the hub syste

It's the way their model is set up. As others have pointed out, they don't fly hub-and-spoke. So when they get planes stranded somewhere, it screws up the entire system and all the planes and all the crew end up at the wrong airpo
