You live in NY on supposedly a NY income and waste hundreds of hours trying to get a $300 (now $150 new) phone fixed?

The reason I bought a 4a is because if it has any issues I'm going to get a new one. At this point you would've been better off moonlighting a minimum wage job for 30 hours and using that money to replace the phone with a much nicer model. Why would you do this to yourself?

Well, if grandma's home is surrounded by apartment complexes already, then even without LVT some property developer would definitely make an offer to buy her house for a ton of money, and even throw in some relocation package, for example by gifting her an apartment in one of those neighborhood complexes. Happens in my country all the time - your neighborhood being converted from single family homes to apartment complexes usually means a windfall for you.

The file/image storage concept using whats called "Blossom server" needs to be explained publicly somewhere. I don't know anything about this concept of "storing private files on public servers" and it immediately screems at me as unsafe.

I've only been able to find this coverage on the Blossom thing: https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/blossom-intro/

That's great! Interop with C++ is such a complex task. Congratss on your work! It's definitely not an easy thing.

I've always wondered what is the best way to interact with C++ template instantiation while keeping performance.

For a static language, you'd probably need to translate your types to C++ during compilation, ask Clang/GCC/MSVC to compile the generated C++ file, and then link the final result.

And finally, pray to the computer gods that name mangiling was done right.

Except they aren't pay to play unless you consider doing the work for the course the "payment". There's certainly an exchange since there is a lot of work involved, but DLAI provides a team to help design, structure and polish the course and then the team creating the course does the majority of the work creating the content, but there's no financial exchange.

The DLAI team is also pretty good about ensuring the content covers a topic not a product in general.

> Of course drag queen story hour isn't a policy

> Look, you asked what positions they've taken that aren't related to open access to the public and I answered.

These statements contradict.

> And just because the ALA didn't invent it doesn't mean they haven't expressed support for it.

They seemed to support it in the sense they felt they should say something after libraries and librarians were targets of protests and threats. And they seemed to see a connection between calls to ban drag queen story hour and calls to ban LGBT information and resources. I think this is correct.

Gotta say, I can understand one or two levels of commenting persisting in misreading something but this level of commitment to it has me confused.

1) I never said that it was acceptable to be homeless with lots of children. (1a) You've tried and failed to find a quote where I did, so I know you've read what I wrote and can't source that belief to anything I actually said; even stripped of context.

2) Misreading a comment is something that happens, so y'know, ok no worries maybe I wrote an unclear one. But I've explicitly told you I don't believe that. And it is a crazy belief that nobody holds so I don't know why it would be a hard thing to accept after a few clarifying words.

3) Third time a charm. In the article we've got a 100-word abstract that lays the position out nice and clearly. The major factor here is not house prices, it is changing - shifting if you will - priorities. We've had situations where house prices were absurdly high in the past - for most of our evolutionary history a house has been an unattainable luxury and fertility was off the charts by modern standards. High house prices are obviously not a root cause.

Completely different. American culture is immigrant centric. I am an American, and I refuse the biblical indoctrination that some wish would represent "our" culture. Why should conservatives get to dictate what America's culture is? As far as I am concerned, we are a nation of immigrants, and no one should assimilate to certain ideas. In particular, because these ideas can be weaponized. The Church can mangle with the state, because America is mostly evangelical. Free speech can exclude criticism of foreign nations (like Isra-l), because America's most affluent are Jews. Services can be refused on the basis of one's romantic inclinations. Some people end up as more free than others. So I reject this culture claim that you are defending and do not accept that these conservatives have America's best interests in their heart. They are merely choosing the rhetoric that resonates most with lower classes (as history has taught us is a strategy that worked with peasants in the days of yore), because a critique of upper classes or billionaires or those that profit from our toil is them biting the hand that feeds them.

Someone took their hand, pulled one spring-loaded switch into the off position, and then did it the other switch moments later. Is there any way that could be accidental?

If there was no mechanical failure, the only remaining possibility is deliberate action. And if it was mechanical failure, we’d see an emergency air worthiness directive being issued, which we haven’t.

Yes. Regular DMT is N,N-DMT, Atkinson's Jaguar is 5-MeO-DMT. They have been referred to as "the power and the glory" respectively. 5-MeO-DMT is regarded as one of the most powerful and profound psychedelics, even when compared to N,N-DMT.

They are NOT more customizable than Emacs.

Let's think of some hypothetical (close to practical) scenario example. Let's say I need a retrieval of fully-qualified name for a function at point.

In Emacs, I can start prototyping advising function in a scratch buffer changing the behavior of lsp--symbol-information (or related) function. I can try it out right there. I can easily debug, profile, enable and disable this feature without ever having to restart Emacs. Hell, I wouldn't even have to save it — it's all dynamic, all in-place, it's like playing a videogame.

In Neovim, I'd have to create/modify a Lua file. Find the right LSP handler to override. Write the override function. Reload the editor (losing my state), or source the file. There's no easy way to temporarily test without affecting my config. Sure, one can use Fennel for replicating REPL-driven development, but that still be limited compared to Emacs — no advice system; can't easily revert (no advice-remove like stuff); limited introspection; scope issues — need to manage original function references manually; harder discovery — no describe-function like stuff.

In VSCode to get something like that you'd need to create an entire extension project; write typescript/javascript; compile the extension; install it in VSCode; sometime reload VSCode; debug through the extension host; there's no "just try something" way.

Joyride is a game-changer for VSCode — one can use Clojure-based scripting directly, making it almost Emacs-like, yet still — no advising, can't change editor's core internals — they are not exposed to you, there's no true runtime modification of core behaviors.

So no, VSCode and Neovim do not meet the OP's criteria.

I used to be an iPhone app dev before I ragequit around 2017. Took that skill off my resumé, got a new SWE job that paid more anyway. Besides Apple's rules, it wasn't enjoyable to develop for that platform. Everyone was constantly fighting the tooling.

The worst time ever was Swift 1.0 + Core Data, two broken things combined, that was like Dark Castle on CD-i.

Lots of things have standards that are mostly interchangeable. But pretending like the implementations don't interpret standards differently and have important differences is naiive. This is doubly so for language implementations which frequently leave things as "implementation defined". Clang and GCC have intentionally made significant efforts to minimize their differences which is why it's less noticeable if you're just swapping between them (it didn't start out this way). MSVC has not made these efforts. Intel abandoned their compiler for Clang. So basically you already have MSVC & clang/GCC as dialects, ignoring more minor differences that readily exist between clang and GCC.

Compare this with languages like Zig, Rust, and Python that have 1 compiler and doesn't have any of the problems of C++ in terms of interop and not having dialects.

Java is the closest to C++ here but even there it's 1 reference implementation (OpenJDK that Oracle derives their release from) and a bunch of smaller implementations that everyone derives from. Java is aided here by the fact that the JDK code itself is shared between JVMs, the language itself is a very thin translation of code --> byte code, and the language is largely unchanging. JavaScript is also in a similar boat but they're aided by the same thing as Java - the language is super thin and has almost nothing in it with everything else deferred as browser APIs where there is this dialect problem despite the existence of standards.

> If I remember correctly, gaijin is just how you say 'foreigner' in standard Japanese.

I think this depends on tone. It is a literal translation, but I don't think you have to call someone non-human for it to be rude.

> I can imagine that people in, say, the United States wouldn't be very happy if I went around and only spoke Dutch.

We do have a large amount of people (and an increasing number of businesses) who think it's fine to only speak Spanish.

> That doesn't necessarily mean that either of the two pilots activated them

It does:

1. Those switches have physical interlocks and cannot be manipulated by any computer system.

2. The flight data recorder is measuring the position of the switches; they aren't inferring the position from some system state. There's a "position of this switch" channel.

The switches were physically moved in the cockpit, that's basically ground truth. The question now is who and why.

I understand you're not the same person as the one who started your side of this argument, but you can't just jump from "there's not really an ethical way to be a tourist in a foreign country" to "I was only talking about overtourism, stop being extreme."

If self-denial is rewarding to you, that's your business. You don't decide with vague statements what's rewarding to others.
by K0balt | 2025-07-11 23:20:47+00:00
The time between the two switches being activated and then them being switched back on after being noticed strongly suggests that they were actually manipulated. Malice looke very likely to me. An investigation into the pilots life may turn something up, I guess.

It’s worth noting that Premeditation or “intention” doesn’t have to factor into this.

Studies of survivors of impulse suicides (jumping off of bridges etc) indicate that many of them report having no previous suicidal ideation, no intention or plan to commit suicide, and in many cases no reported depression or difficulties that might encourage suicide.

Dark impulses exist and they don’t always get caught in time by the supervisory conscious process. Most people have experienced this in its more innocuous forms, the call of the void and whatnot, but many have also been witness to thoughtless destructive acts that defy reason and leave the perpetrator confused and in denial.

> I mean this thread is because someone had an emotional response to "inclusive language", they zoomed right in on it and ignored every other aspect of the thing, even calling for the whole section to be removed. How is that different?

Great, you win, it's not different. The person getting upset at "inclusive language" is on the same level as the one getting upset at "sanity check" because everyone's offended by something and therefore all offense is equal. What now?

Nice try turning it around, but no, you didn't find a gotcha. You just tried to argue two opposites ("no amount of offense is unreasonable" and "the people I disagree with are the unreasonable ones") at the same time. You acknowledged there's a line and failed to address its location.
by sillysaurusx | 2025-07-11 23:23:24+00:00
My understanding is that after several incidents of pilots shutting off the wrong engine, the training was overhauled so that from day one they treat fuel switches as sacred. I heard that it’s required to ask for confirmation before toggling the switch, just to be absolutely certain. It’s not really something that can be done by muscle memory during flight, and especially not during takeoff.

If he was trying to do something else, he would have called it out. E.g. an audible “gear up.”

Right. So frustrating to hear people speak of LVT as some pie in the sky concept when it's the most original and basic form of tax, for centuries, worldwide.

It's equivalent to a modern day person talking about how cooking food over an open fire is never going to work.

The valuation issue is also a non-issue. You just have people self-assess the value, but any stated value is an option for the state to buy at that price. Also an ancient and well known mechanism.

What is the path of the wires from the switch onward? Do they go into a digital input of the flight computer, or do they directly feed the fuel control valves?

https://simpleflying.com/boeing-787-technical-features-guide...

" Advanced electric controls

The 787 entered service with an improved fly-by-wire flight control system. Rather than mechanical processes, the systems convert flight deck crew inputs into electrical signals. Still, there were additional advancements with the type."

It's pretty amazing that you've managed to both take the least-charitable interpretation of my comment, and apply a dated stereotype of Japanese people in one post. So:

1) There is a whole spectrum of alternatives between "do not go" and "go take selfies in the same TikTok dead zones as everyone else, while drinking overpriced matcha boba tea and eating potato spiral on a stick from a Mario kart." Perhaps do something else?

2) "Japanese tourists" haven't been going much of anywhere with the yen near all-time lows to western currencies. Setting that aside, it's been a few decades since the stereotype you're invoking was anything close to real.

More accurately, the CPU RNG instruction is generally considered untrusted by itself and the only reason it's used is that kernel RNGs are CSPRNGS based on cryptographic hashes (which is what the CS refers to - cryptographically secure) where mixing in a corrupted bit stream along with uncompromised bit streams still results in an uncompromised bit stream out. No one uses the CPU RNG instruction directly (both for security & also secondary perf reasons)
by arcfour | 2025-07-11 23:25:44+00:00
As someone with no qualifications on this beyond occasionally playing some flight simulators, I can't think of a reason you would ever intentionally move the switches in flight (barring an emergency like a leak or fire or something) and unintentionally doing so seems extremely unlikely since generally "switches meant to be operated on the ground" are located well out of the way of "switches meant to be operated in flight". Though I believe Boeing does have them by the thrust levers, every type of fuel control switch I've seen has some sort of guard or mechanism that makes it effectively impossible to move the switch by simply bumping it.

So I can't imagine how it could have been done accidentally.

Is this $900M ARR a reliable number?

Their base is $20/mth. That would equal 3.75M people paying a sub to Cursor.

If literally everyone is on their $200/mth plan, then that would be 375K paid users.

There’s 50M VS Code + VS users (May 2025). [1] 7% of all VS Code users having switched to Cursor does not match my personal circle of developers. 0.7% . . . Maybe? But, that would be if everyone using Cursor were paying $200/month.

Seems impossibly high, especially given the number of other AI subscription options as well.

Maybe a difference of aspiration?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspirated_consonant

Aspiration is contrastive in some Indian languages but not in English. (It's regular in most native speakers' English, but never distinguishes words by its presence or absence.) I could imagine that some Indian language speakers would learn to pronounce English /p/, /t/ consistently as [p], [t] and others consistently as [pʰ], [tʰ], even though English native speakers would have this difference in realization conditioned by other things.

The [pʰ], [tʰ] versions would probably sound "louder" or "stronger" when they occur in unusual contexts in English (I guess, I don't have enough control over aspiration in my speech to record a useful sample; maybe I could synthesize it?).

Strictly speaking about large, complex, sprawling codebases, I don't think you can beat the experience that an IDE + coding agent brings with a terminal-based coding agent.

Auto-regressive nature of these things mean that errors accumulate, and IDEs are well placed to give that observability to the human, than a coding agent. I can course correct more easily in an IDE with clear diffs, coding navigation, than following a terminal timeline.

Indeed. And it's not always final... I've not had it ever happen to me at a place that serves food, but I also generally only hear about it happening at bars/night clubs and I don't drink so never had a reason to visit one. I suspect a lot might change their stance if you just say you speak Japanese... it's not like you need to know a lot for basic food ordering anyway. The closest related experience I did have was one time I was with a friend taking him to an outdoor idol concert, a guy saw us coming and came up trying to shoo us back / something about no entry, but I just told him in Japanese that I have a ticket and the QR code was already ready to go on my phone. Immediately it's "right this way".

I also remain convinced most of the anti-foreigner tourism sentiment is anti-Chinese tourism sentiment. For westerners who can behave, it's still a great place to visit. (Though skipping Kyoto wouldn't be a bad idea.)

This is a classic car salesman tactic. The idea is that a buyer that's completed paperwork will be more likely to agree to a last minute price increase "because my manager won't let me sell it for $X". It's a total bullshit move. It's so common it's even mentioned in the book Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion.

People do things bizarre, inexplicable things all the time. It's called a brain fart... the human brain is complicated, sometimes wires just get crossed.

Honestly I think the chances are good that you're right, but the way you're presenting it as absolutely certain strikes me as overconfident, borderline arrogant.

Also, what's with the whole "staking your reputation" thing? What reputation? Are you some kind of famous journalist? Is there some reason we should care about you "covering live news" ? Serious questions -- I personally have no idea who you are.

Every time I tried OpenZFS on my iMac, it absolutely crushed the performance of the entire machine.

We’re talking “watch the mouse crawl across the machine” crushed. Completely useless. Life returned to normal when I uninstalled it.

Also, I’ve heard anecdotes that ZFS and USB do not get along.

I’ve also heard contrary experiences. Some folks, somewhere, may be having success with ZFS on external drives on an iMac.

I’m just not one of them.

For years, scientists have said we're either overpopulated or headed to overpopulation. Now, economists are saying we're not going to have enough population. Either way, if we could get the scientists and the economists to settle this once and for all, some of us would be really … well, not grateful, but happy for the peace and quiet for a bit.

(Really, I suspect that both sides think there's not going to be enough rich, white people to make more slightly-less rich white people - but I'm a cynic).
