When she mentioned air support being pulled back, I wondered if the U.S. could have still kept some order through that alone. It made me think of how the Americans maintained no-fly zones over Iraq for a dozen years after the Gulf War.
> I'm also curious how one builds up strong manufacturing skills safely?

Doing a trade apprenticeship is the common way to do it, but not an option for people looking to get in as a hobby. But even as a hobbyist, an "apprenticeship" is helpful if you can make friends who already have the experience you're after and are willing to hang out and build things with you.

You can learn a lot on your own, but you will miss some important safety and productivity tips that just aren't obvious except through experience.

And slightly off topic, but power tools are honestly not what frighten me - it's dust and chemical exposure that keeps me awake at night.

If you use collection classes in vba you can run into this bug pretty quickly. Last year I deployed an Excel add-in to a client that enabled them to run Snowflake queries concurrently from vba and this line:

If queries.FilterHasError().Count > 0 Then

was being evaluated as true even when the count was zero.

I had developed the add-in using 32-bit Excel. This was an extremely confounding troubleshooting experience. Eventually Google & Stackoverflow rescued me from believing I was going crazy.

We can agree that linearly laid out blocking code is simpler to write and debug than async code with callbacks. Ideally, one shouldn't even have to annotate functions as async. If an API call blocks, let it block. That would simplify a lot of conditional workflows immensely.

The trouble is that threads are heavyweight, particularly in context switching. So the user has to work around it by explicitly creating async functions, task schedulers, futures and so on, to avoid having to block a crucial thread (as in GUIs or network event loops).

Languages like go and erlang help you avoid that by having the entire ecosystem (libraries included) give you permission to write blocking code, and that under the hood, they would take care of fast context switching and async I/O. That is what loom hopes to do. Ideally in this world, the ordinary developer would not have to use nio at all ... simple blocking APIs should suffice.
I'm curious why you couldn't just surround yourself with the 16 objects. Perhaps they're meant to be much smaller than the person?

> I thought high school shop class no longer exists.

anecdata:

I graduated high school in 2015 and had woodshop, auto shop, and metal shop classes. Also welding, and, for what it is worth, cosmetology. This was at a public school in Houston. We had wood and metal shop in middle school, as well.

These classes are still offered at my school according to my relative who still works there.

Back in early 00s, some phones would let you tether via Bluetooth.

As far as apps - many feature phones had J2ME. There were plenty of games for that, some quite fancy, but also useful apps - e.g. I remember using Bombus for XMPP chats, and there was Opera Mini for web browsing (it didn't actually try to render everything locally, but instead offloaded layout to Opera servers - the phone then got a vector image of the page it could easily render with scrolling & zoom).
I guess it's caused by not learning enough instead of learning too much?

Side question if anyone happens to know and wants to tell... is there anything going on with GMAIL's spam filtering in the last year? I've been getting 1 to 2 daily misses with brain=dead-obvious spam messages hitting my inbox, for about a year now. I've been using gmail since the invite-only-beta and it was never, ever this bad before. I just had 4 spam messages in a row like "C0NgRAtuLationS1! yoU Won!" and the like and marking them as spam hasn't done anything positive in the last year.
What works well for me is to 1) work smart not hard, and 2) pace myself. I plan ahead to make everything require less energy, easier and (if possible) more fun. And then I listening to my emotions so I don't push myself too hard, which overwhelms me or drains my energy later.

For example I make sure to go running every day. But I only set a minimum like 15mins, and it takes like 5min to get ready. And I can always get a Lyft or slow down if I get tired. This leads to me running for hours which are really like 10 10-min increments, because I can stop whenever I want, but I'm also out there so there's no point in stopping.

Also do things that feel easy and natural for you in particular, and don't make things unnecessarily difficult. For example, I don't waste time trying to "study" (stare at papers). I skim them over and re-read / lookup stuff when necessary, because that's how I learn.

You'll hear from others about getting good sleep, exercise, diet, etc. I think that planning ahead and listening to your emotions helps with that too. For example, eat when you're hungry, but eat healthy and have something relaxing to do after you eat so you don't over-eat. Also, you don't have to spend 1hour cooking and cleaning, I can microwave frozen veggies and heat up meat in a skillet in 5min, and then clean the 3 dishes I use in 2min. For sleep - sleep when you're tired, but if you need to set a schedule, wake up at a fixed time and your sleep should correct yourself.
You could start by learning some of what is possible from the masters: politicians, the media, and their writers.
He didn't have a helmet or so much as a seatbelt in the helicopter. The tail rotor flew off, hit the main rotor at a high speed, which knocked him sideways, out of the fuselage. It was at this point his head came into contact with the spinning main rotor, likely killing him instantly. A seatbelt seems like it would have saved his life.

It was recorded, which is how I know this, I honestly wouldn't suggest looking for it as it's pretty horrific. It's sad that such a smart person didn't apply the most basic of safety protocol though.

Yeah, I've read that the Taliban basically retreats during the winter, then returns for "fighting season." So it would have been much smarter to withdraw US troops during the winter. Withdraw them now ensured that the Taliban was in the best position possible to capitalize on it, which we are seeing now.

T-Mobile does not take security seriously.

I once encountered the infamous JWT alg: none bug in a series of codebases I worked on at T-Mobile. I built a PoC exploit that demonstrated complete bypass of all JWT user authN, publicized it to my team, and escalated it to my manager and later my skip level. The bug was never fixed and my attempts to ship a fix were never prioritized.

I am only comfortable stating this now because the affected codebases are no longer in use.

In this situation it means that the ground (or water) near a downed power line is charged, but the voltage drops quickly as you get further from the conductor (that's the potential gradient).

It can ruin your day if you walk towards or away from it, because your feet might bridge two areas of ground that have a 10kV difference.
Your body being a bag of salty water makes a much better conductor than dirt, so the voltage takes the path of least resistance.

The safest advise is don't try to traverse the ground in that situation at all. However, if you must, the advice is to hop with your feet together or shuffle with very small steps (with the understanding that if you fall you're almost certainly going to fry).

I saw the video. The rear propeller disintegrated during operation, seemingly from material failure. Two of the blades shot out to the ground and the third went into the main rotor a short while after, unbalancing it and causing the blades to hit the fuselage and the helicopter to jump, twist and throw the pilot out.

Very sad accident indeed. It makes one think that maybe the ”hero inventor” stereotype does not lend itself well to our current level of technology: it’s too easy to fatally overlook something vitally important.

It's exactly as you described. I had a pain point which was trivial for most, but not for me. No existing solutions solved it properly so I decided to make it myself.

While searching for a solution, I found that a lot of other people had the same problem. It was bad enough for them that they took time out of their day to write their complaints online.

In solving my own problem, I was creating something that other people might've pay for. And they did!

Okay so in Portland homes sell same weekend they're listed if they're priced right. I know this because My home sold after only a 2 hr open house. It's nuts. Zillow wanted to pay way under their zestimate and I ended up selling for more than asking. The offer I picked ultimately was a real family with a mortgage.

The zillow owned homes have been sitting on the market for a while despite being fair prices IMO. I think its turning agents away since zillow really wants the buyers to also use zillow.

You are living in the part of the country with rising housing prices? Go find out the housing prices in many other parts of the country. You can get a house in the Rust Belt for 50,000 and the Rust Belt is a big area stretching through many states: Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, etc…

> I don't think this is true if you create have approximately 1 thread for each CPU core (which is the ideal scenario in a non-async app - why would you create more threads than CPUs?).

Right, so then how do you structure your program - particularly an I/O-bound program - to use that small pool of threads effectively?

Imagine you're building a REST frontend that queries a couple of datastores and aggregates the results - you get a web request, fire off a request to some coordinator datastore, get a response back from that, fire off a bunch of requests to other datastores based on that, then form the results into some JSON and send them back to the client. If you do blocking requests then you waste most of your threads most of the time (they'll be idle waiting for responses from the datastores).

If you use NIO then that solves that problem, but you've still got to get each thread to actually do the right kind of processing - you want each thread to run an event loop where it checks for returned results from the datastores, matches those up with the requests that they belong to, and does the next step of processing for that request whether it's firing off more requests to other the datastores or composing together the results and sending them back to the original client. And you've got to also handle timing out stale requests etc.

Now you can write a server literally like that, with a global buffers for each possible request type that hold the state that you need to pick up handling that request again. But it's a nightmare to maintain, as you're effectively forced to write unstructured programs where you do a GOTO for each I/O operation - there's no easy way to trace through the handling of a single request or run part of your program for testing.

So people generally prefer to use an async framework that will handle keeping track of each suspended request and what to do next when the result comes back, and multiplex those onto the native threads for you. That could be something where you call an I/O API and pass a callback to run when the result comes back (and the framework takes care of running the callback on some thread when the result is ready, without blocking a thread in the meantime), or something where there's a special operator to say "suspend this function here, package up the rest of it as a continuation, and continue with that continuation when the I/O result comes back". Or, as Loom is doing, it could be something similar that works completely invisibly whenever the programmer calls particular functions.

There are tradeoffs to all these approaches to async, but any of them is going to perform a lot better than the naive approach of just using a native thread for each request, and they're all (hopefully) going to be more maintainable than manually writing an event loop that does the right thing each time.
And they still have local agents that meet you.
>>>> First, they use scale and data science to find what they consider under-priced homes and buy them for cash. If I happen to find the same home for sale at the same time, what seller is going to go with a traditional loan over a full cash offer who could easily offer more if needed? I can’t compete with that.

Loan offerings compete with all cash offering by offering more than what the cash offer is offering. The idea that you bid over asking and the cash offer will find out what you bid and meet your offer in cash is just not true. It’s not like an auction house where you each bid until one of each persons max has been reached. Seller agents just opt for the max for each offer from the start.

>>>> Secondly, they don’t do anything to the house (aside from clean it up and taking nice pictures—no value added) and then resell it for multiple tens of thousands more than what they just paid. If this house was originally at the high end of my budget, bought by Zillow, then re-listed for more, I can no longer afford it.

It costs tens of thousands in fees and cost to transfer ownership. I have a hard time believing they buy a home, clean and take pictures, then relist. Houses that are relisted in less than a year raise serious eyebrows in the industry as well.

As to your third point. The homes are worth only what a buyer is willing to pay. Period. All too often I’ve seen homes sell for less against a similar home right next door sell for less from the exact same builder with same features and sq footage within weeks.

This post is mostly for others looking to buy because you have in my professional opinion, unrealistic expectations and understandings of how the housing market works .
