COW just dedupes, it doesn’t produce alternatives. Maybe a filesystem that figures out how your spreadsheet can be stored partway into an executable, with no loss to either? Yeah, this analogy doesn’t seem real helpful.

Replying with some vague hundreds-years-old anecdote is also incredibly unserious.

What definition of a security are you using? Neither the dictionary nor the SEC include return in their definitons.

Absolutely. If you don't like what K-Means is telling you, change a variable and re-run. (that's one great thing about business data: there's no shortage of variables! True, there's usually a shortage of independent vari

There are tons of different workflows used by Linux Kernel maintainers. Some of them don’t even use Git except to submit patches. Whose workflow are you trying to emulate? (followup question: and why?)

Neither the foam or the shuttle wing detonated. It's about testing volatility, not doing damage.

Terminator was made for $6.4 mil, like $18 million now. Not a blockbuster.

I can't find anything even close to the iPad plus Pencil for sketching/crative stuff. First I tried a Yoga 2-in-1, then a Surface, both Windows & Linux... Then I tried an iPad pro. It's just no contest. The iPad and Penci

We installed a Sanco2 on our house a few months ago. It's been performing as advertised so far. Impressive little unit. It was 7X the cost of just replacing the gas-fired heater. However, we turned the space the previous heater occup

I don't think Southwest was ever on Sabre. Their scheduling used to be in-house, now on Amadeus. Computerized operations started with Braniff's software and have ... ah, grown since then. Name almost any technology and it's p

I think that's right. Customers have decided that maybe getting charged a couple full fares once every ten years is better than spending 10% extra on every ticket. Which makes sense. The airlines have decided this as well.

It's an absolute nightmare of fixed-field records and XML (Southwest uses Amadeus for scheduling but Sabre is just as bad; and AFAIK operations at all airlines are a chaotic hodge podge). Southwest performs all operations in Central Ti

Certainly not, that would destroy profit and competitiveness. Spare airplanes are mostly in for non-essential maintenance, and spare crews can be called up in an hour or two. That's good enough. Catastrophic outages every few years sti

This is not entirely true. Lots of airlines have had events where they need to ground all takeoffs for a couple hours while they put their systems back together. People don't die when airline operations go down so artificial delays are

I would not recommend git for organizations with monorepos, and not for companies that need to store large binaries (like games; git-lfs is a start but still a royal pain). Also I probably wouldn't recommend git for projects that are s

This is a good analogy, right down to Git's painful UX. Nix is powerful and difficult to understand. Often you'll find yourself in a spot where either you need to take hours or days to understand some fundamental component, or you
