> I think it's odd that you describe a failing of 14 CFR 25.173-- the stability airworthiness requirement-- as not being "fundamentally aerodynamically unstable."

One should look at the actual requirement, not just the title, and for convenience, I have copied it below. As you can see, the issue in this requirement is not one of fundamental aerodynamic stability; this is a handling characterisics issue (and also, 14 CFR 25.175, which does require static lonitudinal stability, also requires more than that (a "stable slope" of the stick force curve in several different cases), and so can be failed by an airplane that is nevertheless statically longitudinally stable.)

14 CFR 25.173:

Under the conditions specified in §25.175, the characteristics of the elevator control forces (including friction) must be as follows:

(a) A pull must be required to obtain and maintain speeds below the specified trim speed, and a push must be required to obtain and maintain speeds above the specified trim speed. This must be shown at any speed that can be obtained except speeds higher than the landing gear or wing flap operating limit speeds or VFC/MFC, whichever is appropriate, or lower than the minimum speed for steady unstalled flight.

(b) The airspeed must return to within 10 percent of the original trim speed for the climb, approach, and landing
conditions specified in §25.175 (a), (c), and (d), and must return to within 7.5 percent of the original trim speed for the cruising condition specified in §25.175(b), when the control force is slowly released from any speed within the range specified in paragraph (a) of this section.

(c) The average gradient of the stable slope of the stick force versus speed curve may not be less than 1 pound for
each 6 knots.

(d) Within the free return speed range specified in paragraph (b) of this section, it is permissible for the airplane, without control forces, to stabilize on speeds above or below the desired trim speeds if exceptional attention on the part of the pilot is not required to return to and maintain the desired trim speed and altitude.

It would certainly be a horrific jolt to your taste buds... geish.
Yes. IDK how to manage it, so I ignore it as much as possible. But I do so knowing that it contributes to a growing low level subconscious anxiety that I don’t know what to do with.

At root I believe that we are all slowly killing ourselves and that likely in my lifetime we will reach a tipping point. Humans may continue for another 5-6 generations but then we will become extinct too. Culture as we know it will die, and all of the achievements of human mind and all of the natural splendor of our world will disappear into the cold void of space.

Everything seems futile. Our society is so geared towards consumption and pollution, how can we possibly reverse course? Life is still beautiful, and worth living, and worth fighting for, but all signs point to us being screwed.

How do you cope?

I find it frustrating that rather than engaging with the question I asked, you rush to turn it around and say that I’m supposed to answer my own question, very obviously so you can take whatever my answer is (which you seem to have made up your mind to ridicule and disagree with prior to even knowing what it is) and put it down or gainsay it.

But at the risk of such unthinking ridicule I’ll say that personally my theory is something along the lines of homo hypocritus of economist Robin Hanson, similar in spirit to what is discussed (about wealth inequality) here:

- https://www.overcomingbias.com/2013/08/inequality-is-about-g...

I think we arrived at the particular protected classes we have now because people saw opportunities where someone could be shown to be harming a certain class and some other people (who couldn’t care less about the harm being caused) saw the opportunity to create a new way to take wealth from those people.

It turns out this was to society’s benefit mostly, and over time we use social norms and legal structure to increase its use as a humanitarian tool, but it almost surely was not invented for that reason.

I’d speculate that other characteristics like introversion never received this treatment because there weren’t preexisting social norms or religious cultural attachments to the class of introverted people, so in a mob justice sense you’d have a hard time taking wealth away from those in power over claimed mistreatment of this class. But for classes like gender identity or religious creed, there were preexisting big scale cultural norms / civic principles / etc. that allowed making the wealth-grab arguments catch on in the public eye.

If the employer targeted the ad to exclude you based on some criteria, you don't actually have the opportunity, whether you see the ad or not. If anything, you'd be wasting your time applying for a job that you didn't know excluded you.

If the employer targeted the ad just to save money by advertising to a demographic that is more likely to be responsive, that's a different story. Then you might as well argue that you are denied opportunity when, instead of some job ad, you are shown an ad for Coca Cola because you "liked" Coca-Cola at some point.

You're not really entitled to see job ads at all, if you look for a job, you can reasonably be expected to find the ads yourself instead of waiting for them to show up randomly.

Lastly, it's usually garbage jobs that need to be advertised to people who aren't even actively looking. What if that "opportunity" turned out to be exploitation? Would you then fault Facebook for displaying you the ad?
I was lucky enough to get a software engineer internship where there was a strong emphasis on "no stupid questions". They needed me to learn quickly and knew I was there to learn.

C++ Performance Benchmarks Release 14
Release 14 of the C++ Performance Benchmarks is now available at https://gitlab.com/chriscox/CppPerformanceBenchmarks

# convolution_box.cpp
Test compiler optimization of box convolutions (used often in image processing, audio, and scientific data processing).
Is your compiler applying the obvious optimizations? Nope.
Every compiler tested has a lot of room for improvement.

# logic_sequence.cpp
Does your compiler do a good job of optimizing logic reductions of sequences?
Some compilers are doing ok, some are inconsistent, and some have room for improvement.

# matrix_vector_product.cpp
Is your compiler correctly applying the (literal) textbook optimizations needed for matrix vector products?
This is an example covered in pretty much every compiler optimization textbook and class notes that I've found.
Somewhat predictably, the compilers tested are not doing a great job of optimizing this function.

# product_sequence.cpp
Test compiler optimization of product (multiplication) reductions of a sequence.
Every compiler tested could improve in some areas.
Disparate impact (without valid justification) and discriminatory intent are both illegal.
We perceive ourselves building a knowledge graph but at the physical level how does that happen? Does this graph materialize physically as neuron connections? Or is it just an abstraction the brain makes, a part of the subjective experience of thinking?

It's certainly true that we think in symbols but they exist somewhere in the mushy goo of neurons, could symbolic thinking emerge from large ANNs in the same way?
Not to poke holes here but that link shows agricultural emissions with animal manure [aka feces] (14% of the 9%) and livestock ruminants [aka farts and other digestive processes] (~33% of the 9%). So, about 47% of that 9% is directly related to livestock with the remainder actually being from farming related to food.
ALAN (avoid learning anything new) is bad advice if taken literally.

Learning fundamental knowledge such as programming paradigms, data structures, algorithms is something that will likely not become obsolete in a year by year basis. You should totally learn this if you have the time.

Now, memorizing every API in a framework that is likely going to change in 6 months, is probably not going to be very useful in 5 years (but it can be beneficial to achieve your short-term goals and move your career forward).

It's not about "avoid learning anything new", it's about being tactical about what to learn.
No, no at all. I believe that our planet are able to recover on any situation, including climate change.However, to keep environment clean and sustainable is my priority.The question is either I am able to live for today or tomorrow, I am not sure about that.

Remember that news is a failing business. Most reporters and opinion writers are young (people with seniority who would have helped them with topics were laid off), they have massive student loan debt, they live in expensive metropolises (NYC in this case), are helped with rent by their parents, and are working at their first job. Those factors explain what you read on news sites and the distance between it and the concerns of 90% of the people in the US.
I don't know what the downvotes are about. I'm right. This stuff isn't magic. The mechanism of grapefruit-drug interactions is well-understood.
You’re needlessly nitpicking.

The more fantastic the story, the greater the burden of proof needed to sustain it. It’s never been the public’s burden to disprove a story that no one has ever heard before. And at this point, enough time has passed since the story broke without any evidence being put forth that it’s reasonable for people to think that yes, in fact, the story is likely bullshit.
Not sure why it's scary? In NZ we've got bovine TB, and you need to learn to identify it in animals you're butchering, deer can get it but wild pigs are more prone due to their predilection for scavenging carcasses - brushtail possums, an introduced pest from Australia, are the main vector for cattle, deer and pigs.

When I started hunting, I was taught, "don't eat the lumpy ones", and of course, always make sure you properly autopsy the animal, liver, lungs, heart etc. And if you shoot a TB infected animal, don't transport the offal (especially not the heads of pigs, for some reason bovine TB has a predilection for their jaws), and bury or burn it if you can to prevent scavenging and further infection.

https://ospri.co.nz/assets/Uploads/Documents/TB-Information-...

To the best of my knowledge,human infection by bovine TB in NZ is very rare since the introduction of pasteurisation, although large pest control efforts (using a controversial (with some) poison) are undertaken to control the brushtail possum population.

But I dunno, maybe we gut our deer differently to how they do in America or something?

As a Kiwi hunter, what scares me disease wise about American hunting compared to ours is the ticks the animals typically carry - and the ticks in the forests!

Slightly off topic, but...

Once upon a time in usenet, there was a fellow named Koos Nolst Trenite: https://www.scientology-lies.com/event/1995-02-01/koos-nolst...

Koos transcended the bounds of reality by claiming to do Scientology "audits" clairvoyantly on L. Ron Hubbard, who was of course, dead by this time.

Is Koos any relation to Gerard? I could not google up an answer. I did find a "Gerardina Elise Nolst Trenite" (https://www.werelate.org/wiki/Person:Gerardina_Nolst_Trenit%...) not clear if she is related or not.
All I wanted is a mirrored CarPlay option with a cursor for people who use a joystick instead of a touchscreen. I know this exists in the jailbreaking community (minus the cursor).
I think your issue is SF. In most of the Bay Area (including desirable parts of the South Bay like Mountain View & Sunnyvale) you can get 1BRs for $2000/month or 2BRs for about $2600. Less in the East Bay. My family of 3 spends about $300/month on groceries - knowing the local immigrant grocers can shave off a lot on fresh produce, our vegetable bill is usually about $13/week for about 20 lbs. of fresh vegetables. We get meats at Costco for pretty cheap.

I would also highly recommend paying off the student loans before having kids. My parents borrowed close to $100K to send my sister and I to college, and 4 years after graduation it was paid off completely, after saving 80% of my income and contributing it back to them. Because of compound interest, a few extra contributions towards the principal shorten the term of the loan dramatically, because it means that the loan balance shrinks, the amount of interest owed each month shrinks, and so a greater percentage of each payment is applied to the principal, which speeds up repayment even more.
I prefer video as it shows. Text only leaves too much ambiguity to interpretation. Having taken multiple courses in coursera, edx and other online learning platforms, the video in this course is pretty well made.
>started getting these weird ass recursive functions

Nothing weird about recursive functions. Try and code up a loop that prints:

(ab)^n a

in your favorite language. You will need a flag and test, a goto, or a base case that you run before the loop.

Now do it in a recursive function, here's the python version:

def fn(n):
if n == 0:
return 'a'
else:
return 'ab' + fn(n-1)
I recall the rolls scaring the shit out of a fair number of people and those were with the promise of warm, flaky goodness, not hot, fiery death.

This of course matters if the seam is weaker than the rest of the metal.

I've been assured time and again that you can make welds that are stronger than the rest of the metal, but my lizard brain thinks they're all liars.

That's a charitable interpretation and good advice, but they specifically say "Only learn something new when forced" and give two examples 25 years apart. It certainly sounds like they aren't learning technology as it matures but literally as they are forced.
It’s actually similar to the shuttle, In a couple of ways simpler, and a couple of ways more complex. The shuttles body was also designed to both generate lift and be a blunt body - with a transition of mode between them. The blunt body allowed it to survive reentry while the lifting body allowed it to glide. However that glide was way more complex then NASA generally talked about. The shuttle pulled some aggressive s-turns to bleed off energy during the re-entry.

This approach is more or less the same as what the starship is doing here, except instead of using a glider trajectory for the controlled landing they instead use retropropulsive landing. This is needed because what SpaceX is landing here is a second stage, not a first stage. Way more heat, way more power.

The opposite is true. We're currently so occupied with imagined problems from the future that we forget to take care of present issues. The interesting time span for normal folks and most politicians to deal with should be the next 5 years, not the end of the century. Leave that to science fiction authors. Better and more interested people will deal with problems in 81 years, whatever they will be.

It even more fundamental: no one knows about passive buildings. With homes, it's like we are still in the 50s with gas guzzling cars. That required a major oil shock to force a shift in fuel economy. No such impetus yet for homes, but when it comes, hopefully we have figured out a way to retrofit our housing stock cost effectively.

No. I have zero depression or anxiety about climate change.

I have enough micro-environmental stresses to keep me perpetually at a med/high level of depression at all times.

When I'm exceptionally depressed (maybe 2 times per week), I actively look forward to my own death and couldn't care less about the environment.

I know that sounds heartless, but it's the truth. Miserable people often don't care about their own life let alone the life of 8 billion unknown people. A strategy to improve the general public's opinion on climate change might be to spike the water supply with Prozac.
