Besides the obvious selection/survivor bias of good stories. It's likely that if anyone of a population (like say the airforce) is going to have good story telling it's going to be the ones that are the best out of that population in applying themselves (like jet fighter pilots). E.g. I doubt it's that they are good story tellers, I would bet that it's that they are just good at anything they do through applying themselves.

Where are you starting from? Are you seeing the concepts for the very first time or dusting off concepts you've learnt about years ago and then forgotten?

Also it's not worth going through all the books since there is a lot of overlap. Pick one book from each topic that interests you and start with that. Then you can perhaps go back and fill in any gaps those books might have left.

Time-wise it's basically impossible to say anything useful. It depends on the book and on you. If you get the right book that teaches a topic you find fascinating in the 'right' way for your brain, you can probably get through it in a couple of weekends. With the wrong book teaching the wrong topic using the wrong approach for you, you can beat your head against it for months and still not get anywhere.

I spent 2 months salary over the course of 6 months to train with an unlicensed coach who is not an official USHPA instructor. He was trying to sell me his old gear that hadn't passed safety inspections in over 5 years. Several people warned me against training with him.

Why did I continue? There's no other English-speaking coaches in the south of Taiwan. Also, his training was the only one I could afford. I really want to learn to fly.

"I need a new coach who I trust" is more related to the other issues than the relatively minor incident where I ended up in a tree. I accept my share of the responsibility for attempting that takeoff, and I'm grateful that it didn't result in serious injury. When it happened though, it was an appropriate time to call off the course and stop that con man from trying to sell me unsafe equipment.

While that is a fair point I think a reasonable counterargument would be that the current rules are based around the fallibility of humans (stopping distance, speed limits, etc) which is less applicable to AI due to it's lower reaction times and greater awareness of the environment around it (in terms of it's constant sensor sampling when humans would normally "zone out").

If you take a system where everybody does similar and add something that does not, this is going to cause problems. This is going to cause problems even if the dissimilar behavior is the proper legal behavior.

Erratic behavior causes accidents, be it driving too slow, too fast, weaving, impaired, etc...

Writing tests for the the kind of numerical code that FORTRAN is usually used for is hard. Sometimes there is no direct way of testing it because if you knew any of the results already you wouldn't need to run the simulation in the first place. Quite often, the best that you can do is proper sanity checks like conservation of energy and momentum or things like that.

I thought the common advice was to try to swim upwards while you were moving.
This might be a problem with the ways roads are "signed". I believe that stop signs are much more common in the US than in Europe where there are signs that are more relaxed. I.e that you have to stop only in case of another car.
It is more than that. The issue is that SF provides a lot of services to the homeless and tolerates them. In more conservative cities, they have harsh anti-homeless laws. Some cities have even been caught giving "one way" tickets to get rid of their homeless problem. The net effect is that certain cities tend to have an abnormal accumulation of homeless due to homeless moving there.
what do you think is the better alternative to the 100% complete stop?

I think that would be to slow enough that you can stop if you need to, but not actually stop completely --- something which almost everyone already seems to do, because it saves wear and helps with passenger comfort too. (I've been in vehicles where the driver insisted on completely stopping exactly as legally specified, with the accompanying double-jerk of deceleration followed by acceleration. Not pleasant at all.)
Happened to me a few times, it's a hell of a ride once the water gets you... there's no swimming in rapids, you can maybe just try to position yourself to have legs in front and even that is hard... and pray there's no fallen branches stuck between rocks somewhere in there.
No. I think both languages are equally expressive in the end (though one will be a bit uglier than the other). But the problem is probably less big in Guix because only a few graphics drivers are actually supported due to the fact that all the drivers needs to be Free and free of binary blobs.
Showing UX respect to our non-English speaking users
It is my biggest complaint with Common Lisp, that while the language supports efficient optimization based on type information, it is often a bit cumbersome to provide them. However, if you target is to write high performance numeric code, you should consider SBCL first of all. It is excellent in using type-information and has a very good type-inferencer, so the task is a bit easier, and it produces excellent code.

Some APIs expose the key offset mechanism. For example, in most OpenStack APIs, instead of ?page=2, you say ?marker=12345, where 12345 is the ID of the last object on the previous page. The end of the pagination is signalled by an empty response.

Shippn – The Most Reliable Way of Shopping from Abroad
One of the things they touch on in this post is the impact of deciding to use a popup window for the javascript implementation of express checkout, and the fact it needs to be triggered directly and immediately by the user clicking the PayPal button. I understand the motivation for going the popup window route, it ensures that the customer can see the full URL and the security of the PayPal connection. However, I do think they have made both their own lives and the lives of customers like me adding express checkout more complicated.

Due to the popup decision, there is no way to do any form of asynchronous validation on the page that the PayPal button is installed on (your cart or in our case the checkout page). The official recommendation is to perform any asynchronous validation in the background continuously while the form is being filled and then display the results when the PayPal button is clicked. For many people this can work, however, the minute you have to do anything on the server side such as calculating shipping costs or an address validation (using a service that costs real money) this cannot work.

The only other way around it for us is to completely redesign our checkout flow from a single page (from the users perspective) to a multi-stage process where we can do all the validation we need on a ‘delivery’ page before moving onto a ‘payment’ page that requires no validation as you just click the payment method needed. This takes a maybe one day project to add PayPal to at least a weeks worth of work and the added risk of a new checkout flow and the impact on the dropout rate.

Please PayPal, give us an iframe option, like stripe checkout!
