> Nothing is going to happen that hasn't happened before, or otherwise can't be anticipated. By the way, this mentality is at odds with safety. If you design a safety-critical system under the assumption that nothing unexpected

Happy you asked! Here are a few interesting cases that the respective ATCs probably hadn't seen before or will ever see again: - Plane loses radio communication on final approach and ignores go-around orders, lands on occupied runway a

Even if your premise was true, which it isn't, do we justify the imperialist invasion of a sovereign state because it was founded after some threshold year? Countries are not a fact of nature. They change, come and go for a large numbe

For personal use, maybe Markdown + pandoc, or Typst for more complex stuff. For academical use I don't think there are any, because everything still revolves around LaTeX. But the lack of alternatives doesn't mean LaTeX is pleasan

LaTeX is great. It also sucks. I'm happy to have learned it and I'm happy to never have to use it again.

It looks pretty good I'd say. Feel free to use the design if you like it!

I understand your point, but I wouldn't call that loyalty either. Loyalty is a choice, you could cheat on your partner, but you choose not to. What you're talking about is necessity. If you don't have the possibility to simpl

The difference with the 737 Max crashes is that there was only one sensor feeding data to the system, not two. If there's a discrepancy between the two sensors, disconnect the automation and let the human take control. And unlike plane

Leetcode interviews only became popular because FAANG needed a somewhat objective way to weed out large quantities of applicants in an initial round. In this context, and as part of a broader interview process, it somewhat makes sense. But

On-site and leetcode aren't mutually exclusive. We'll simply go back to in-person leetcode questions which will be equally shit.

The fact that Bypass Paywalls Clean works for so many websites is kinda baffling to me. Are there any reasons why they choose to implement paywalls in front-end only, or is it just technical incompetence?
