Yes it can raise fares - and that's not some unexpected downside it's just pricing being more transparent. If airlines have a cost to being late/cancelling, then that will balance against the cost of having e.g. N% slack in s

2: In the past you might sacrifice 1 flight completely (24h delay) to get 9 flights on time. Now you'd rather make all 10 flights have shorter delays and all stay below some refund threshold.

Vouchers are fine but Airlines should be forced to pay 200% in vouchers or 100% cash and the choice should be very clear to the customer.

Coding with file system paths means accepting just a few difficult facts. - a path is not a unique identifier of a file system object. They don’t have canonical names. - don’t make any assumptions about case sensitivity, what file names are

I work for a large, slow moving US company in traditional industry. Of course there is an exclusion list, and it contains a few commonly used dirs like “C:\dev” and so on. If that would change (or if the request years back to have company w

Not having an exclusion for a development directory is like using a 10yo machine or using a laptop without the power brick connected: it’s basically leaving half the perf on the table. Still, a second seems a bit much for a real-time scan.

Can’t it clone without fetching LFS files? Since the binaries won’t be analyzed anyway, they don’t need to fetch them from LFS. (If you have large binaries that are not in LFS you should consider converting them)

Why are you assuming that regulation that applies to a billion dollar company would apply to everyone? Isn't it way more useful to just regulate the large players? Small players can't make a lot of damage, and the cost of regulati

Yeah there is no perfect system. And money will always give an advantage. Compensating for that and validating that people not just bought 3 seasons worth of tickets but actually watched the games, would mean checking id:s (Which also has d

The best systems are the points based systems where fans are rewarded for being fans. E.g. people who had seen all Chiefs games for 3 seasons would be allocated a higher chance of getting a Superbowl ticket. What you don't want is peop

What I meant was that for maybe 3-4 packages total in a year, automation doesn't matter much. It's not a big cost. Risk wise you can be pretty conservative if you are in a high-risk scenario. But usually I find that bumping depend

I bump versions of maybe 2-4 dependencies per year, for a 200 man-year project. It's not exactly overwhelming. But then it's not a JS project either.

Creating PRs with suggested outputs is one thing. But automating it all the way to deployment seems a bit much

What does this "automate updating of dependencies" mean? Is this something that happens in some ecosystem where updating things is so common that it needs to be automated? What ecosystem does it refer to? JS? Or is it more general

The debate about whether WFH is good/bad works/doesn't is pretty much had already yes. But I never found it very interesting. The key insight at this point really is that employees, I think, mostly don't care whether W

It's the same time. An employee effectively pays me for what I feel is the "cost" of working there, which is measured in hours lost of my day. They don't pay me to work 24/7, they pay me to work 8h per day. But of c

I have an (equally aging) 2070 Super. It runs the game just fine at 1440p and perhaps not maxed out. Your 3080 will of course run it even better. No need to upgrade unless you want 60fps path traced or 4K. Can highly recommend the game.

A simple hack used elsewhere is to simply open for voting in select locations a few weeks earlier. If 1/4 or a 1/2 of voters already voted the queues will be much smaller. Another simple hack is to ensure it’s a Sunday so more peo
