Sensible model considerations aside, this is in an interesting, and quite hard challenge to pull cleanly in most languages.

You can't use the existing interfaces because those expect the order imposed by implementations to be consistent with equals (that is, equal keys iff equal objects, which may not be true here).
But I don't see where there'd be much complexity in a new implementation. What am I missing?
comment in response to
post
If we assume the objects are immutable, then I don't imagine it being really ugly, unless I'm missing something.
Similar to the `key` argument in most Python sorting methods, or Java's Comparator.comparing() - for type T, define T→U that returns the key, pass it to the set constructor.

I guess the tricky part is finding out when an element is changed such that it key also changes, and has to be reindexed.
comment in response to

My first thought is that this would be less useful for gc languages, but on 2nd thought it's a good pattern even for such, because HashSets etc often expects to use the whole value as key, and having a key that is property of it often requires doing some ugly things.

idk, and tbh, this is all trivial pursuit. there's nothing we can do once a plane is in the air, and that's the only thing that matters - when they put someone on a plane headed abroad, it no longer matters where it lands. the criminal act is taking off.

Found it. My current bet is on Oman then (current path is south of UAE, and Yemen makes little sense)

I can't track it anymore. Did it land?

And now I should go toast my own breakfast bagel. In a panini press, which I’m not sure what the swe-dad joke analogy for is.

The above tweet shows my career in software: I’d rather do double the work than a simple redesign of the interface.

Some would quote the mathematician joke, to use the “frozen” button first, and reduced the problem to one you solved before.
I am a practitioner, so i take the game theoretic approach instead: use both, in order, but stop each step after half the set time.

…and that's why private planes should be outlawed for billionaires and for ice. spending this much fuel on just 18 people is as worse as you can get.

Based on Journey's (one of the companies renting this plane) ads, it is configured for 14 passenger seats.

Tunis as well. And I'm not saying no to Tel-Aviv or the Gulf yet: need someone who actually knows what they're talking about re aviation (I am not them)
comment in response to
post
Usually flights from West and Central Europe to Tel-Aviv goes over the Balkan, then cross over Turk{ey,iye}. Going over the middle of the med is strange. So I wouldn't bet on Tel-Aviv as the destination (but we'd know more in couple of hours)

I have the perfect definition: “any position which involves presenting that obnoxious square terminal to customers”

this is not suggesting it ain't bad, just that I don't see how much litigation on this can happen. in other words, I can see how this would be used for not-reporting, but not for planning.

n00b question: I thought tips were well defined, due the minimum wage requirement?

🤦🏻 well, I still think it's a good post, so not going to take back the free credit.
And would send at least as much good vibes towards Sean Gillespie.

for which we all share blame. this isn't a diss at @skamille.themanagerswrath.com or her post, but of how little progress has been made.
comment in response to

I really think cute is the highest flattery, as a diss, it’s “I have no real rebuke so will belittle instead”. And as a compliment it’s “i like you as an equal”.
Can’t get better than this imo.

It's a perfect match though: we are pushed to adapt our lives for AI interactions rather than the other way around.

I have an even a better analogy: ages ago, I was working on a very early NLP system. SMS started gaining steam, and goal was to respond to natural language questions in a very specific domain (say, bus arrival times). Turns out it was cheaper to get humans to text in a pre-specified template.

I don’t know if you are naive or I am jaded.
Regardless, safe travels to you and your no-longer attachments 🤞🏼

Did the customs officer was like “not messing with this one” or “can you please wait while I make you someone else problem”?

Considering the cost of labor, ingridents, and real estate, I’m going to suggest it’s not the chefs that became small, but the purchasing power.

You're confusing rules with fairness. A common error.

Keller does not get to decide what is fair play.
comment in response to
post
Which is also why Keller’s attitude is so maddening: many pay him for what they hope is a once in a lifetime experience.
Suggesting that he is benefactor, and they should be thanking him, rather than a vendor thanking them for including him in a unique event is a piss worthy attitude.

I’d think that even if I could afford fine dining every night, I wouldn’t do it. Huge part of it is being an event. Even once a year is a lot tbh, though I would be ready to make the sacrifice and settle on such cadence if I could afford it.

I’ve paid about the same at Alinea and Commis, the latter has one less star.

$500/person is what fine dining in America costs today.
It is a lot of money, but fine dining is far from a necessity.
Each person makes their own priorities, and it’s obvious fine dining isn’t one of yours.
And that’s fine!
What isn’t is you thinking other people’s preferences are “bonkers”.

If you can, get a look at their farm.
I looked up Mark McAfee's farm on Google Maps & was surprised to see that his "grass-fed dairy" is a bog standard, feedlot-style large commercial dairy.
With over 1,000 cows standing & lying around on what we call a "dry manure pack" in the biz.

Nationalism was bad then and is bad now, but in the past you had ignorance as valid excuse. The world is too small now for that.
