This rings very true. My dad is a retired commercial pilot and has a whole evening's worth of rant about this, albeit mostly in the 1970s-80s, before pilot hours were regulated to quite the same extent they are now (and with less automation). He said that his absolute worst was a "double washington" (i.e. London to Washington twice in "a day"), and that on the return leg either him or a co-pilot would really be operating at their physiological limits, at the stressful approach to Heathrow. Turnaround time and load factors are basically the thing that airlines compete on, with the net result that they were strongly encouraged to "man up" and "power on through".

After falling asleep for 10 minutes over the mid-atlantic at some point before I was born, apparently all the pilots in the airline agreed to sleep in shifts for safety reasons, and never told management about it...

He also has a story about a frozen Canada goose coming through the windscreen at FL300 above a dark cloud, but that's a story for another day...
Plane size has zero relevance. The point is that you shouldn’t be flying any jet, even some tiny CRJ, with such basic mistakes.
Happy to answer specific questions if you have them.
> You could argue that it doesn't matter that much where the internet's content is hosted. And whilst that's true to some degree a truly self-controlled personal website differs a lot from a social media site in the details.

The author goes on to list four factors that favor blogs over "social media." He's missing one though - building your own brand vs. building someone else's. When you engage with Twitter, Facebook, and the like, you're building those brands mainly. When you write your own blog, you're 100% building your own brand. This is an asset that you own and, barring very unusual circumstances, can't be taken away.

It's up to you to make something with that asset, which can be extremely valuable for a number of reasons.
> The real issue with the vanity TLDs, and many of the newer ones in general, is that they have zero recognition. They are most worthless.

I disagree. No one was born recognizing .com domains, and outside of the US non-.com domains are already quite mundane. In fact, FANGs like Amazon employ cc TLDs quite extensively to segregate marketplaces, and they do just fine.

> No, the issue with the new/generic/vanity TLDs is that they've lost all meaning.

This assertion has no bearing in reality, specially given domains like .io, .icu, .info, .site, and even .aws.
I thought about going but I’m glad I decided not to.
I have a few website ideas floating around - a news aggregator built for accessibility and (some day) internationalization. I think the toughest problem for this app is parsing all news sites' HTML correctly and would benefit from a group of people working on it. Another idea is to open source the translations so it can serve content from many different countries. Could use some feedback.

Fun list, but: Do Not Use As Your Guide.

Here is a mushroom that will kill you, which looks just like a puffball until you cut it in half: https://marksteinmetz.photoshelter.com/image/I0000IoVqJv8YbG...

If you're interested in foraging mushrooms, which is super fun and [ful]filling, I recommend seeking out your local Mycological Society and joining them for some guided walks. These will help you learn what to pay attention to when identifying mushrooms. They also typically host Foraging 101 classes, which are similar to the article but with a greater focus on deadly lookalikes and safety, and maybe some recipes! They also often have annual mushroom feasts where you can eat some fun and unusual stuff.

As a general practice, for the first year of your foraging (and maybe a for a while after) have a more experienced forager/expert validate your IDs. A good resource is also the mushroom identification Reddit.

Finally, get a book! I have maybe a dozen, but by far my most used is the The Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Mushrooms by Gary Lincoff. Excellent for identifying mushrooms you're likely to run into, although the scientific names aren't super accurate.

Basically mid-twenties wanderlust. I was planning to stay for maybe a year, supporting myself teaching English, before either going on to another country or returning to the U.S. But as soon as I got here I got a strong urge to learn the language, and I spent the next couple of years studying it intensively. I then starting doing freelance translation work and, over the next few years, gradually settled in both careerwise and in my personal life. It’s now my home, and I will stay here after I retire from my current university job next year at the age of sixty-five.

I'm not a pilot but this stuff does concern me.

If you Google around for GPS related accidents with cars the results are pretty mind boggling. There's a number of cases of folks driving straight into a lake because GPS told them to go that way. This plane incident reminds me of that.

I remember typing up a paint/simple sprite animation program from a book in BASIC when I was 12 or so. I had no idea what anything meant, but I managed to add color support to it. Geez, this brings up memories of me sitting there on the computer debugging things. It was before the age of popular Internet connectivity as well, so no stupid social media (there wasn't even social media!) to distract me every 30 seconds.
I like the goal of reducing dependency on SaaS product. I use these Strava/Garmin apps a lot and while Strava was cool for a while it hasn’t progressed and doesn’t feel worth the money. Curious to hear what you had in mind, I am in the geospatial space and work with routing tools, etc.

tldr: using large expensive models to auto-label data to train small cheap models.

(I find the 'mechanical turk' framing here to be much more confusing & misleading than clever or helpful, and to make it harder to compare to the considerable number of other papers on using language models to generate new datasets & do self-distillation.)
Regarding lifetimes: they're severely overused by people new to Rust.

Types like struct <'a,'b,'c,'d> are not for storing data, but are temporary views into data stored elsewhere. If such struct didn't have to be forced to be temporary, or wasn't a view into pre-existing data that can't be moved, then it wouldn't need the lifetime annotations. Such lifetime salad can happen in very specific scenarios, but they're rarely needed in most programs.

It's very unfortunate that the Rust's feature for temporary, scope-limited loans, AKA references, looks so similar to general-purpose features that other languages have for referring to objects or storing data by reference. It's not the same thing!

Rust has a few other constructs for referring to objects, like Arc which is a shared reference, but it's not temporary, or Box which is a pointer for storing data by reference, but doesn't have a lifetime attached. When you start taking ownership into account when designing your data structures, it often turns out that Rust references are not the right tool to use. In 99% of structs references are a mistake (but they exist, because there is that 1% of legit cases).

If someone sends you money by mistake it is not yours and you should return it (the easiest way to do that is to call your bank and ask them to revert the transaction[1]). If you do not return it then it is theft and you may be prosecuted. If a company accidentally sends another company money then things are usually resolved quickly and professionally with a phone call.

If a company accidentally sends lots of people small amounts of money then the loss is balanced against the cost of getting it back by contacting all the people and likely some will be returned and some will be stolen.

If the accidental transfer is really accidental pay then undoing will be complicated/impossible so if the amount is small enough maybe just pay less the following month (if it’s allowed by minimum wage laws?) and write off people who quit before the company is made whole, though this can be complicated if the error happens towards the end of the tax year or because of taxes that are assessed e.g. monthly instead of annually.

[1] there’s a common scam that goes roughly like: 1. Someone sends you ‘too much’ money. 2. They ask you to return the money minus some goodwill payment. 3. They clawback their initial transfer but you can’t claw yours back. So that’s why trying to get the original transfer cancelled is better than trying to return or partially return funds manually.
I would take anything the US mil claimed with a large grain of sodium chloride. There has been an extensive history of them and their affiliated contractors lying to personnel and civilians: agent orange, ddt, pcbs, gulf war syndrome/pesticides/sarin/mustard gas, radium, and so on.

You have to know your actual average, peak, and total dosages to be able to compare it with everyday civie life.

Regarding pesticides: the US has a major problem with gross under-regulation of chemicals in nearly every context. This stems from TSCA 1964 grandfathering-in 10k's of chemicals without evidence of safety, a guiding principle of "assume safe until proven otherwise because profits", and ignoring safety data and conservative exposure standards set in the rest of the industrialized world.

Edit: My father worked on the flight line of a US military base in Vietnam. He was exposed to agent orange, unburnt napalm, and jet fuel many times. He suffered from the rare adult-onset type I diabetes for most of his life and experienced several kinds of cancers.

> It's wasn't a test. Someone just poisoned all the air.

If you want to be pedantic:

It was a test of if the air-poisoner-inator sufficiently poisoned the air. If the air was not poisoned then the experiment obviously failed. If the air was poisoned then the hypothesis was correct and the experiment succeeded.

A bomb test tests if the bomb bombed the location it was meant to bomb with the correct amount of bomb. The control variable would be not dropping the bomb.

> Would you call someone who goes around smashing things a "scientist"?

Yes, automotive engineers do this every day to build safer cars, and anyone in the safety industry obviously replicates unsafe conditions (explosions, fires, electrical failures, chemical spills, etc) to test safety equipment.

There's a concept in the research literature called "superoptimization" -- finding the absolute smallest program that meets a given specification. It's worlds away from being used for anything larger than a small handful of operations, but it's very close to what you're asking about.

> Human-piloted aircraft for routine transportation makes no sense. In terms of safety and ecology for long-distance travel, trains will dominate in the end because flying adds inherent risks and consumes much more energy.

OK cool I'll just take a train.... uhhh absolutely nowhere as I live on an island with extremely limited inter-city rail.
Then you're making a strawman just to be disagreeable without adding anything constructive:

1. I never recommended driving. It's awful for the environment and extremely unsafe.

2. Transoceanic train lines. Hyperloop or similar.

Arora's remarks can be applied to any new food, not just mushrooms. You could have an allergic reaction to anything.

Of course, but unfortunately many articles like this one fail to add a note like this to their disclaimers. It's easy to forget during and after the excitement of a mushroom hunt.

I think you're kind of overreacting.

I probably wouldn't have posted a reply if I didn't make the same mistake myself years ago. In my first five years of foraging I was less careful than I was after the incident I mentioned. I have never misidentified any mushroom I've ever consumed and have eaten many dozens of species. However, after getting very ill that one time (violent vomiting and diarrhea) I have become a lot more cautious when consuming new wild mushrooms (heeding to Arora's advice to try small amounts first). In light of my personal experience I found the article to be a bit light on words of caution, especially for novices.
Historically, for many products, high demand leads to lower unit prices as manufacturers become more efficient. Since we're a decade into GPU mining, there's been a lot of time for manufacturers to adjust. While so far they have not been able to keep up with demand, I don't think it's clear that they never will.
Is there an easy way for creators to receive crypto tips and donations from fans for a whole range of currencies? For example a creator might have a url:

http://slicktip.com/johndoe

and then end-users can see a whole range of addresses they can pay into?

Also, a whole bunch of free content can be offered. Then, as an add-on service, the creator can pay hosting fees for that content.

I suppose it's a type of landing page and payments can also be consolidated into dollars or a single crypto currency.

Fans can also unlock content and pages after a certain amount has been paid.
Saying that third pounder is bigger than quarter pounder is accurate too. But the point that went over your head is that majority won't believe it.

As I mention above: I’ve got no special love for Ethereum miners.

But why you’re trying to lay your municipality’s busted, corrupt-ass utility’s issues at their feet is perplexing.

Ethereum miners at their worst are the maggots crawling around in your community’s failure to form a voting bloc to reform utilities.

At best they provide an arbitrary demand for electricity that makes solar panels obvious.

Normally lauding a "sub-optimal" tech means the optimal tech isn't a fit for the problem space or the cost of adoption is higher than the benefits. Something like Tarn doing everything in C/C++ which is arguably good and arguably bad but works. It is unclear that switching languages would be a net win or loss.

In the case of not using a VCS system "sub-optimal" means he's making his own life difficult for no gain. It is difficult to see that it is anything other than a mistake - a 20 year old project with 700k lines of code is going to benefit from version control. The only saving grace is that Dwarf Fortress development predates git so at least there is a good excuse for how it happened this way, but it is still a mistake.

We all make mistakes though, so the world will continue to turn if Tarn sticks to it.
Shortages are the point of price controls. The solution to shortages is going to be rationing, which politicians and bureaucrats love because it gives them enormous power to transfer resources to supporting groups and make their enemies worse off (including death from lack of medicine).

Call it a solution in search of a problem. The best fuel cells today reach about 50% round trip efficiency. That's even a high estimate. That by physics defines the price difference between where you buy low and sell high. Without even counting the hydrogen storage, fuel cell itself and everything needed to make it function.

That number also defines the arbitrage marginal any other solution has against hydrogen. Be it batteries, over built renewables or geographically coupled networks.

Hydrogen as a feedstock for industry?? Definitely.

Hydrogen for airplanes? Likely synthetic hydrocarbons but we will see, the hydrogen has to come from somewhere. Same with long distance ocean transport.

Emergency reserve of power for a nation state? Just use fossil fuels.
GPUs are manufacturable. The market is meant to signal to manufacturers that this is profitable to make more of, and thus, more would become available in the future. Unfortunately, the current world events conspired to not allow this balance to happen - chip shortages and logistics problems etc.

Give it a few more years, and it will balance back out.

Might not be helpful, but at least in some cases it is sincere.

Personally, I simply don't think we have the capacity as a species to overcome the challenges of climate change right now. I'd like to be proven wrong and think we should be trying anyway, but veer towards solutions which actually provide another benefit and help with CO2 emissions as a secondary effect - the most obvious example being renewables as a means of securing energy supply sovereignty.

This approach probably won't see us beat even 3 degrees of warming but let's be honest - most people in the western world will adapt to a less convenient life, and we don't care about the pending deaths in Bangladesh and similarly poor countries nearly as much as we like to pretend.
Using PNGs because there's some cross-browser issues with displaying SVGs from a number of the open source sets that I've collected. Rather than going icon by icon to resolve those (which isn't feasible), I render a PNG, make the PNG downloadable (via the button), and make the SVG downloadable (also via the button).

Could probably make it so you can right-click the image and open it in a new tab. Will take a look at that :)
Pretty sure they were just screwing around.
> I feel it takes away from the standardization or uniformity 2 and 3 char TLDs bring to domains.

One of the original TLDs is .arpa, and I don't see any of that uniformity in a world where second-level domains like .co.uk domains are pervasive.

> Additionally, I always found it interesting how the .xxx TLD never took off (was essentially DOA)

The usecase driving .xxx was not from site operators but from third-parties seeking an easier way to censor porn sites.

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

The concept was flawed from the start given the same site can be served through multiple domains, and it relied on site operators located in any jurisdiction from any corner of the world to voluntarily serve their sites thorough that TLD.
