The FAA was intentionally made independent of airline advocacy to avoid conflicts of interest that previous government agencies overseeing air travel in the past had. So it’s odd if it’s not based on the data.

I think it could be incredibly useful if it wasn’t like talking to someone who is hard of hearing, comically misinterprets similarly sounding words and can’t understand basic logic in sentences (what’s the weather _and_ traffic, then find m

It’s likely because they give different pricing based on who’s asking, which is normal for products that aren’t commodities.

The IRS also only accepts faxes for sending documents directly to an agent. If you have a fax machine maybe it’s secure, but the internet services are very shady and using a local store I’m still concerned the machines store the documents i

I think there’s just fatigue with Indonesian airlines’ spaced out attention and not caring about safety over the years, of course the time it’s due to a different reason then no one believes it. It’s the natural consequence of their past re

I’ve been using Terraform a lot lately and aside from no debugger and even line numbers on errors, I wish it had used a real language and had usable errors like this. Great too see, it’s the human computers that are the most expensive to ru

Currently DevOps tools do almost no testing or validation at all, it’s like time traveling back to the 80s.

I have a ticket open with them for a couple of weeks now due to them not supporting MFA with my bank. My bank requires the token code after the password and TurboTax tries to replay the password and token code twice. I feel like a financial

If you google “Newton” Google attributes it to Issac Newton on the side bar, seems like it must be wrongly attributed unfortunately. Thanks for correction.

Reminds me of this Sir Issac Newton quote: > Tact is the knack of making a point without making an enemy.

Good naming is almost all that matters infact, that’s how you express your intentions to the reader. You can dispense with all other constructs in a programming language as long as it’s turing complete, but no one would be able to understan

> 2.1. Choose identifiers for clarity, not brevity This is a real problem in Go these days, people use one and two letter vars quite a bit which makes reading code you’re not familiar with practically impossible. On one project we simply

What I find especially amazing is that doctors have to refuse anti-vaxers as patients since they put their other patients at risk. Which means they’re trusting the doctor, but at the same time think the doctor is wrong on an major fundament

It’s interesting how every company that suddenly leaves the UK as the deadline approaches says it’s due to some other reason and factors. Even if it were true, it does bring up that when you destabilize an economy by adding uncertainty it p

They allow for high level intentions like “only share this doc within my company”, or “share only with specific people”. Connecting the permissions to the way someone thinks about it, going more in this direction is what’s lacking IMO.

What this says of course is that software vendors and security vendors are not able to or not incentivized enough protect their users, to the point the government needs to become more involved. The biggest issue I see with almost all securi

They do this to thwart hackers, for example to prevent a script that inputs the same password across many accounts. It’s terrible UX for sure.

There needs to be a standard or something here to facilitate password mangers. Everyone should be using one and not reusing the same password.

by argd678 8y ago
My list: 1. Don’t have your website take a longer password than your mobile app and then not let correct passwords login inexplicably 2. Don’t break completely on valid passwords because there’s a char you didn’t expect, testing is a good t

I’m glad to see more attention from law makers over data security, many companies have shown little interest in correcting or preventing issues long enough.

Is there any way to test php code the same way a compile phase does in other languages to catch obvious mistakes from hitting your users?

I recall it being technical actually, removing a proc from a running kernel isn’t trivial.

The biggest scaling issue I always run into is the database is the bottleneck and there’s not a lot of options for most databases to auto scale them.

That’s been known for hundreds of years about linseed oil, and is one if the reasons it’s no longer used to waterproof clothing. I wonder what the circumstances were and what it was being used for.

It would be nice if this was an option and I could block muted auto play too. Some websites have so much media that the page takes 5 or more seconds to render when I just want to read the text.

The interface isn’t opaque in airplanes like in software, everyone learns about how the internals of the aircraft work in order to troubleshoot problems. So pilots are reasoning based how how they think it works under the hood.
