I regularly fly without any radio.

Disclaimer: I'm not familiar with Lompoc. That looks like class echo airspace in which a radio is not required. Apparently the airport's control tower only operates part time. Still, with nearby population centers, restricted air over military bases, possible gliders and skydivers in the area, even oil wells relatively close, it looks like a particularly foolish place to turn an aircraft into an unguided missile by jumping out of it.

Dentists are a secret cult.

I’ve met all sorts of people socially - surgeons, cleaners, plumbers, Pilates instructors, farmers, barristers, drivers etc.

But I’ve never met a dentist anywhere other than at their surgery practice. I’ve heard dentists often marry other dentists as well. They charge an extortionate amount of money for doing very little compared to many other similar professions. They must be a cult.
The prop doesn't even stop spinning of its own accord - only after he yanks back on the yoke. That's not a standard engine out procedure, I think! Surely he'd want to maintain airspeed to keep it windmilling while troubleshooting.
I wonder if this could integrate with Siri (or Assistant), e.g. 'Tell Voiceliner <your note>'. Be better than fiddling with your phone, at least.

Looks like there's an issue: https://github.com/maxkrieger/voiceliner/issues/35
Thanks, I'll reflect as well.
Presumably you're a biologist or doctor, someone with the knowledge and certification to make the claim they're deluded? Psychologist maybe?

Personally I think you're just trying to be offensive on your newly green account but if there's anything in there that actually wants to understand please do try to meet with and talk to the people you are diagnosing, it's really hard to hate a person when you know their story

If nothing else consider it doesn't cost you a damn thing to be nice to someone. What's the point in tearing someone down? Is this really the person you want to be? It seems so tragic honestly
As you are well aware, calling setjmp and longjmp doesn't make code non-position-independent in the way that Raymond is talking about, because setjmp saves the return address with which it was actually called. It doesn't rely on PC tables in the executable the way that (a common implementation of) C++ exception handling does. I mention this not to inform you of it (you already understand it better than I do) but to keep anyone else reading the thread from being misled.
There is nothing alien. If from another planet, it makes no different. We are all part of the whole of the universe or universes. We Are One!
I do not believe this is true in any meaningful sense. Schindler's list, Operation Valkyrie and the like are firmly embedded in popular culture. And of course the claim that all of any nation share an ideology is absurd to anyone who thinks about it for two seconds, but I'll give you a pass on that because I don't believe you're talking about people who think for two seconds (I claim that that is also an important error in your worldview, but that's tangential).
Genuinely interested in hearing what other people get out of it. I couldn't get past Carse's overwrought use of chiasmus. After finally reaching the end, he places a coy little phrase which falls flat because he spilled the beans 66 sections earlier and it irks me to this day.
It makes me happy to hear that my comment was appreciated. Anon account here unfortunately, but if you come up with any questions, the ethfinance community's daily thread on reddit is full of friendly and very knowledgeable people!

I would start with learning the basics of how Bitcoin works if you haven't already. There are some heavily watched YouTube videos you can find that do a good job of it. Ethereum is more or less the Bitcoin idea but with smart contracts (basically, it lets people run custom software directly on the blockchain).

If you're a programmer, you could try looking at some beginner Solidity tutorials.

Sorry, I feel like that might be the best I can really do here. Good luck!
Yep, Lompoc is uncontrolled: https://www.airnav.com/airport/KLPC

And notifying local traffic (on CTAF) at uncontrolled airports is recommended, but not required.

This is quite common in the US, especially in small towns/rural areas.
Not for everyone!
This is one government with bad policy, do you also make sweeping generalizations about every single ideology, especially ones trying to save the world
Is that why pax romana lasted for 800 years or what?
Imo the "hard people" meme needs to die.
The problem with the queesion is that some of the most outrageous beliefs people will think they believe but really do not. We can see it from the fact that they ignore what follows from those beliefs. So now I have to say something that is outrageous but not too much. Lets say, as a joke, that I believe what you predict has already happened.
Yeah I’ve been paying attention to the Altinity stuff for a while, they’ve got some good stuff.

I think we’ll get even more hosting options now that ClickHouse is it’s own backing company.
That almost everything is a scam.
Some TMS clinics are offering the SAINT protocol off-label. Not covered by insurance of course, supposedly runs around $6k.
Yeah I know - it's a vicious cycle. I meant in cases where the depression trigger was an event like a death in the family, but where the person managed to keep it together despite their depression. In those fortunate cases, the only problem that needs solving is the person being "stuck" on a trauma - not a self perpetuating cycle.
Like I said, I was young at the time. Still, one would expect any candidate to offer multiple arguments for voters to consider. If this simple joke really "sank Mondale's campaign" as claimed above, one would wonder just what form that alleged campaign might have taken. It could be that other factors led to the 49-state drubbing, which factors would have decided the matter even in the absence of a particular canned response to a softball from the moderator.
> I suppose that halving productivity won't go unnoticed.

Perhaps if the halving was instantaneous. Over any substantial period of time? I have my doubts.
This depends on the libraries/DLLs being used. Windows loads system DLLs at the same location in every process's address space, so you can use process-local offsets in a remote process. For custom libraries of course this wouldn't work. Or if the required system library hasn't been loaded in the remote process.
His shader stuff and graphics programming articles are neat. But yeah his other stuff is... misguided, at best (and I think he's amazingly wrong in his latest article). I just don't read those ones.
Based on the fact that they are still putting mercury amalgam into people's bodies, you might be on to something.

Well... almost everybody self medicates, one way or another. I doing think I know anybody that doesn’t reach for caffeine, Tylenol, alcohol, or cannabis, once in a while.
This is actually not true. The entire world has never been more at peace than it ever has been throughout all of human civilization. Crime is down, lifespans are longer.... the only thing that I can think of that's definitively worse is wealth inequality.

While the world has improved our perception of the world has turned increasing negative. This is mostly because of the media and how the media uses fear to grab attention. But make no mistake, your children and you live in a world that is safer than it ever has been in the history of humankind.
Across all implementations that fully support C99, which is not all implementations.
LOL. I actually used to rent a room from a dentist. Cool guy. Lived with him for 3 years.
Yeah I bet they are being paid well for that contract as well. Maybe they should have bought a commercial fortran if they didn't want the possibility that the developers would tell them to go pound sand (but in a nice way). I'm sure they have the resources to fix it and submit the patch back to gfortran.
> I would've assumed it'd just be 'emotional and financial ruin'.

In this case I think all her income was from a single source (the federal government). So it doesn't sound political to me as they were able to root cause the single source of financial ruin.

It's like naming the drunk driver who slammed into a pedestrian while being completely alone on the road. You can always say "an anonymous driver" on the report ...
> You can currently earn 6% on USD-backed stablecoins, and withdraw at any time. Compare that to your current checking or savings account.

Sure, I’m comparing an investment with high counterparty risk to an FDIC-insured savings account. Seems like apples and oranges.
> If what the government asked made no sense, why did IBM agree to do it?

My understanding is that the government gave IBM a complete spec of what they believed were their pay grades. But that wasn't what was agreed upon with the employees and unions (how do you calculate overtime on a coast guard boat?). So it all made sense to IBM, they shipped it and fufilled every requirements. They had no way of knowing these weren't the "correct" pay rules.

It's the magic of government contracting: you write the spec and select the lowest bidder.

Forget a 0 to the total weight the bridge must carry? You'll get very cheap proposals. Ohh and there's typically rules against a bidder contacting the government to get more information; that could be considered as interfering with the bidding process. It's also why older USPS vehicules had poor snow performance.
To be a contrarian here to bring up a question, do these things really count? The roots of similar ideas already existed decades ago in old journals for all of these. Maybe the phrase "System Software Research is Irrelevant" could be interpreted as saying that all the big foundational ideas have all been found. The low hanging research is done and now its all iterating on details. Please tell me why this is incorrect?
Free will does not exist, everything is 100% deterministic. There is no "randomness", it's a shim we use when we haven't discovered the physical law governing a process.
I agree with you but Rome went through wax and wane phases for 800 years. Just because you were born in those 800 years doesn't mean life was good. Hell, 60-80% of those emperors were absolute shit or murdered before they could do anything.
I went solo to Whistler once for the snow and it was the winter weekend of the African American Dentists association. Delightful, but all guys.
HN will feed more clicks, even in good faith to question this video.

Not here (different EU countries); we are taught in school about both sides. There are many books based on reports or letters by soldiers or concentration camp inmates describing Germans not believing in the war effort and more so not believing in the holocaust and helping people. Schindler is a famous example.

Leaders, corporate media and owners would rather stoke bloodlust than do anything about economic conditions. Things in the US aren't going to magically get better, and it won't take much for neighbor to turn on neighbor.
You are applying a boolean data type, when the facts on the ground are more complicated.

The fact is that “mental illness” is super common, has many aspects (some are significant hurdles to employment and others are less significant. “Unemployable” changes over time as employers look at the cost trade offs and the hiring market.

And Section 8 vouchers (one of the largest programs to increase housing stability) already pay $x00/mo, so there is absolutely some dollar about above $100/mo where additional rental supply does start to reduce the homeless population.
I think that's one of the inspirations behind sqlite.

> They’d double click on the thing and a dialog box would pop that says, “Can’t connect to database server,” and it wasn’t our fault. We didn’t have any control over the database server, but what do you do if you can’t connect to the server, so we got the blame all the same because we were painting the dialog box.

Procrastination isn't necessarily a sign, but if you're procrastinating on things you usually love (hobbies) then, yes. Talk to a professional.

Depression is surprisingly common. Most people kick it after a month or so of meds (the individual in the article clearly has chronic depression).

Out of curiosity, what is your rationalization of the epic of Gilgamesh having a nearly identical flood story about 500-600 years prior to the Old Testament and no Christian gods present? I’m genuinely interested in how a Christian thinks about that and the other various pre-Christian stuff that was incorporated into the Bible.
> How else could "misgendering" someone even be any kind of offense?

There's a big oppression angle to this that can't really be ignored or separated out from trans experiences, but I'm going to try to ignore it for just a second.

In a world with no transgender discrimination at all, I empathize with not really caring that much? I'm male, I use he/him pronouns, but if someone called me "they" or "she", I really don't think that would register in my brain as a negative thing. I think I'd be pretty OK with that.

But what I have found out is that this is very atypical even among most cisgender people I know. And (again, ignoring the oppression angle, which can't be ignored, it is intrinsically tied to how people's identities and preferences form, but...) I have just kind of learned to tolerate that not only do a lot of transgender people care about this, but a lot of people in general seemingly across the entire world seem to care about this. I strongly suspect (and in fact know, because I pay some attention to UK politics and the debates happening there) that a lot of people in Europe who are cisgender appear to care a heck of a lot about what pronouns people use to describe them.

I don't think being as agnostic about it as I am is the norm for most people, and I don't think that's wrong or broken, I have things that I care about too. So if someone does want me to use a pronoun that reflects them better, I don't think it's bad that they care about that pronoun being used accurately. It appears to be just kind of an intrinsic thing for many people.
Watched half of the trailer and turned it off. 90% of it was stock footage and mediocre editing. If it's representative of the work done on the documentary I have no interest in seeing it.

Not that outrageous some physicists agree with you.
Harry potter is true. Voldemort is doomed to come back and there are secret schools were people go to learn how to do magic.
I'm an apatheist, truly, but have "pet beliefs" that I play around with to push back the expansive vacuum sometimes.

One of them is "The Egg" by Andy Weir, where everyone on earth is a single entity at different parts of its life.

But I truly believe that we are the universe experiencing itself. Observation and matter are inseparable, and that consciousness isn't required for observation, but is useful for it.
It sort of depends on your definition of truth doesn't it?

Most people accept that 2 + 2 = 4 is true. But this is only accurate within the math realm, which is a purely abstract concept. There's no such thing as "2" in the physical world.

I view most religions in a similar way, they are a form of truth, that exist within their abstract realm.

I read a fantasy novel once that had a character that believed in religion. All of them. At the same time. Sincerely.

I always admired him.
Your garden-variety politician lies to further an agenda and it's usually clear what the agenda is in retrospect. Trump lied constantly for no discernible purpose, which either makes him a genius or an idiot depending on how highly you think of his abilities.

> you are far too biased

Keep in mind that I created D because I wanted to program in it. It is based on my decades of experience with other languages and supporting those languages and knowing where people go wrong with them and where the problems are.

> C

C is a simple language, but grasping how it works is not simple. To get C you need to understand assembler, which is not simple at all. The misunderstandings novices have about pointers, for example, are misunderstandings about how computers work.

C is loaded with legacy problems, too, like uninitialized variables containing garbage. There's all that confusion between prototypes and non-prototypes. Implicit coercion of 2 to a pointer:

int *p = 2;

The C preprocessor is nowhere near as simple as it appears. Arrays are determined to decay to uncontrolled pointers. Buffer overflows are pervasive, even among the most professional programs.

D (as Better C) is a very C-like language, but minus those problems. It's reasonable to say it is much more easily learned. It has far fewer footguns.

> You've confused

I may have been unclear, but I am not confused.

I've written two C compilers from scratch, and 3 C preprocessors. I know every last dirty detail of C.

Basic, however, we can agree is a simple language. But it teaches bad habits, which have to be unlearned.

> Sure, she owns the failed revamp though.

Thank you! That's the most important point.

> It’s really weird to be ratholing on Flickr as if it was the reason for Yahoo failing.

Flickr is the topic of this thread. I don't think Flickr is the reason Yahoo failed, but I do think Marissa Mayer hastened Flickr's demise, and I do believe Ms Mayer's incompetence was the reason Yahoo couldn't be turned around. If you believe Ms Mayer was brought in to "manage a burning building" as opposed to turning it around, please read this story:

Except for rangefinders.
I was a paying flickr pro customer for years but when they basically tripled the price on me for zero extra service I could no longer afford it.

Which sucks, because it was one of the few photo places that actually respected the users a little bit. Now I just don't/can't share photos.
I'm creating a blogging platform, what features would you like to have? Hosting text is not a problem and I can provide a clean minimalistic design, but serving images and other media eat a lot of bandwidth. Anyway I'd like to hear requests.
>It is vital that you trust yourself enough to speak up. Yes, the professor is really smart, and knows more than you, but she didn't spend 3 weeks in the lab wrestling with some optical setup like you did and you know some things better then her, better than anyone in fact.

Amen to that! It's better to have the discussion than to silently disagree (well, assuming your thesis advisor isn't a raging narcissist, and assuming you are sufficiently tactful about speaking up) because there's a chance you are mistaken & the feedback would be helpful.

>You may feel very bad after a year of messing around while the prof thinks you're doing well. Talk about these feelings.

Another one that I wish I had known (again, needs caveats about unhealthy advisors, though). It's easy to underestimate the scale of a task as a grad student (the devil is in the details), and to therefore bite off more than you can chew & feel guilty for choking.
Well, I did post it as 'outrageous.'

From a zoomed out view, you're right. We've got it pretty sweet.

But between COVID, which to this day people can't even agree is a real thing...political divides, worker shortages, etc... it's been a tough year. Crime is up -hugely- this year, especially murders. I see people just routinely running red lights like they don't exist, going 120 down i95, and just don't see cops anymore.

I think it's probably a lot to do with media, social media, COVID restrictions and shutdowns, and housing becoming unaffordable... half the people are just at the breaking point all the time this year.
Every now and then when I get silly thoughts about Microsoft as such (as opposed to just very specific divisions) being "on the right direction", I recall that LinkedIn is under MS ownership.

It’s not that LinkedIn is bad; it’s a trackfire if dark patterns and has been getting worse since acquisition.

Beggers are anyone begging, whether a true "poor person" or a rich person wanting a hand out when he can afford the free thing himself, probably without batting an eye.
We will lose out on a generation of great engineers, scientists, and mathematicians because our (US) public school systems are teetering on the brink in multiple ways. From underfunded districts and underappreciated teachers, to activists who have infiltrated curriculum-setting (on both sides: from "you can't talk about race in history class" to "there's no right answer to these arithmetic problems, everyone has their own interpretation"), to course schedules that delay algebra until senior year of high school. It's a shame that we as a society seem to care so little about the foundations of an educated and intelligent population.
How can I duplicate this at home?
How can the bible be utterly true? It outright contradicts itself multiple times. It's a bunch of little books written by a hundred different people over the span of centuries.

Do you instead mean that you believe that the broad themes are true, but that there are lots of details written by authors that are flawed?

To believe that it is "utterly" true indicates to me a capacity for doublethink bordering on total insanity.
I'm only a flightsimmer but even fighter jets can probably make it to somewhere with the kind of energy he had. A Space Shuttle or a Blackbird might have been a different story. If you're busting through Autobahn at 240mph and the car suddenly goes neutral, trucks coming up behind is going to be quite low on the list of immediate dangers.
Here’s a quote where the author clarifies what culture they are referring to:

“In the autistic twitter community where I and a lot of other advocates spend our time we are inclusive and speak frequently about ourselves as a culture -- not as a monolith, mind you, but as a culture. We disagree frequently about everything from IFL/PFL to whether or not Autism should be considered a disability, but we recognize that we're all Autistic and we're all doing our best to make the world a safer place for all of us.”

I don’t think it’s unreasonable for people to object to this Twitter culture being represented as some more general autistic culture.

I think it would have been vastly better if this sentence had been left out. Or, instead of saying “Ambassador of that culture”, they had qualified it and said “Ambassador of a Twitter autism advocacy community.”
Yes, that’s the plan from the start, to reduce population living standards. It’s Green policy worldwide. You didn’t know?
