I don't think it is a fair assumption to say that reducing the number of available parking spots will automatically mean it is harder to find parking. If there are fewer parking spots available, fewer people will try to drive and park there. There is an induced demand that more parking spaces provides.

Now, will that mean less people in the area? Maybe, or maybe they will use alternative transportation.

In your true and fair system, how much should a talented new grad software engineer, whose output to the company in his first year will be little (if not negative due to opportunity costs of mentoring by senior engineers) be paid ?

Assuming that after some time, the new hire has the potential, although not guaranteed, to make substantial business impact.

Everytime* we have a thread about third-party YouTube clients, there are comments like yours by folks who fundamentally misunderstand the purpose of these third-party tools. The same happened year(s) ago with a thread about NewPipe.

The purpose of these apps (including Vanced) is not solely to get past ad-block; Vanced (and NewPipe, and Piped, and Invidious) do far more than just give an ad-free viewing experience -- they provide a breadth of quality of life features on top of usually being more privacy-friendly.

The frustrating thing about this is that we can avoid these questions if commenters would just click the link and read.
Chicken or egg.

The whole US was once walkable, then we massively subsidized driving for 2 generations, and now they are not walkable.
Recently, a gang of armed assailants broke into an apartment with a man sleeping on a couch. The man was armed with a gun, in line with his second amendment rights. However he didn't even have a chance to defend himself - seeing that the victim was armed, the gang responded by summarily executing him. Despite plenty of evidence and the identities of the attackers being well known to prosecutors, no arrests have been made. I'm speaking of course about Amir Locke. Is it any wonder how the right to defend oneself is being eroded when government sanctioned gangs can commit first degree murder and then escape justice?
I did weight lifting for years in my 20's... I could squat 500+ lbs, bench 325 lbs several times, do 25 consecutive pullups with a wide grip or narrow grip, etc. I looked like a bodybuilder.

Then I did Crossfit for several years in my late twenties... more cardio, a bit less weights.

Then rock climbing for several years in my early thirties.

Now I ride my bike competitively on Zwift and have tons of fun doing it.

All exercise is good. If I could go back in time, I would greatly reduce the amount of weight lifting I did and focus more on fun cardio centric activities. You get all the muscle you need from those.
My guess is that RF interference is not binary. So the question is not "Does 5G equipment interfere with radio altimeters?" but rather "Could 5G equipment ever interfere with radio altimeters, under any set of feasible conditions?"

Which is a harder question to answer, but how seriously we should (and usually do) take air safety.
I don't know what to tell you other than I simply don't agree. at a high level, the YouTube website is a wrapper for endpoints that serve ads and endpoints that serve content. nowhere in the flow of clicking a video from the homepage and watching it does there appear any language saying that I need to hit both sets of endpoints to use the service at all. they merely make it inconvenient not to do so.

this is essentially a rehash of the "what constitutes unauthorized access to unsecured resources?" debate. my personal opinion is that access cannot be unauthorized when the authN/authZ mechanism does not exist at all. others may disagree.
Ehh. The framerate doesn't actually matter that much, because in the end the actual pixel changes color at the same rate regardless of FPS. No shader is periodic at 120 Hz; they're very rarely periodic at even 10 Hz.

10 Hz is already a slow strobe light; 1 ms deltas means that each flash is within ~1% of the correct color.

If you're doing something like raymarching in the pixel shader, then you might want sub-millisecond resolution. In 99% of normal shaders, I don't think so. That kind of precision comes into play more with moving objects, where a tiny time delta can mean the difference between a pixel being completely lit or completely dark. Even then though, bad time resolution is just as likely to manifest as motion blur or something.
This will work as long as your laptop stays on that network, and as long as you don't mind your IP address being public.
In Europe there are Boeing 737s and 5G C band radio masts. I'm guessing the laws of physics are the same in Europe. So I'm confused. What are they doing differently there? Why don't the US do the same thing?
A significant percentage of what I watch on YouTube was uploaded by people who don't have rights to that content. For me, turnabout is fair play. YouTube can profit off of pirated content, and I can pirate YouTube.

I use newpipe though.

I'm not sure what your experience is, but it may not reflect the 'average'. I have experience from working in automotive diagnostics for many years, and am speaking from what I've seen, having spoken and dealt with thousands of dealer and independent mechanics.
From my outside perception, the medical jargon is ripe with greek-latin derived words that are strictly descriptive, adding no causal information whatsoever. My understanding is that the word tachycardia does not give an insight into why the heart beats faster.

As for "born early", I think it misses the actual problem. I think "born too early" is a closer-to-the-spirit simplification.
Likely a DRM requirement so you can’t pirate their movies
Here's another angle: a LOT of common people out there don't even bother blocking ads, let alone even thinking about the possibility that it's possible to block ads without using Youtube Premium. They either:

a) Live with ads, thinking that's the norm or not giving it much thought, or,
b) Subscribe to Youtube Premium without considering the possibility of ways around it.

So, realistically speaking, the probability of everyone starting to use Vance overnight is almost zero.

I also used to feel the same: why can't people just use adblockers!? Then I realized that me and the type of people I normally interact with != the general public, atleast in terms of tech-savviness and/or curiousity.
Boeing's altimeters should have always operated within the frequency bands allocated to them and been resistant to interference from other bands. These altimeters are operating outside the specification they should have met when deployed. This is an utter failure on the part of aircraft manufacturers, airlines and the FAA. They are all screaming loudly to try to shift the public perception to this being an issue created by the FCC and telecom companies.
What's funny is that now Amazon asks publishers to send files as epubs. When we send them a file, they're getting the same file that all the other vendors get. Amazon, however, will still sell that file with their proprietary wrapper.
This is again just too shallow. I suggest you investigate the reasons why it was designed this way before deciding it is bad.
I guess I wasn’t clear in my last post. I meant that the rational thing would be to force the free release of the manufacture specific tools and information.
Getting things done is a badge of honor for me, i don't care much for the concept "imposter syndrome".

But i will acknowledge that confidence needs to be built up, and doing so can trigger thoughts related to the imposter syndrome.

We can't all be in the top 5%, but i found that you can get very far with these skills.

1. Be able to relate an observation to something you have encountered earlier. For me that involves documenting a lot of what i work with and making it easily searchable. OneNote works great for this.

2. Do your best to remember something you have just learned from a colleague, it's always nice when you only need to explain something once.

3. Be curious. If something doesn't add up, you're most likely on to something important. Also, know when to stop as there are always other tasks waiting.

4. Learn how to search for information. Not just using Google, but also incidents, changes, issues, commits, logs and so on. Every data source matters.

There are other tips and tricks, but these are some of the most important skills.
TY! TIL
I think hype is just something we live with. And I think that the anti-hype hate is just as annoying as the hype train.

Although I'd disagree re: ease of development, because it's highly subjective and depends on your use, I would agree that it's wrong for some to characterize Rust as a floor wax and a dessert topping. It's really good for lots of things and less good/still growing for others.
Criminals are scared too, that helps a lot in these situations. You just need to not act like a target.

That sounds somewhat like pre-emptive victim blaming but essentially you have to play mind games if you step to a criminal so if you do it wrong that's kind of on you.
I agree, it is not the easiest possible api to learn, so perhaps there was a trade off made. Concluding the language is bad because you don’t understand a decision is lazy.
If you can't reproduce those conditions in an artificial scenario setup to exaggerate the effect - how are they feasible ?
I'm no expert, but why can't we just add some regulation that says the insurance carriers will be responsible for any liability beyond 2024 (or whatever) and that they're free to charge whatever they want based on the make and model of the altimeter in use on the plane?
Your position is quite clear, I'm just saying I (and others) disagree with that position. For me, where religious freedom and equal protection clash, I tend to err on the side of religious freedom. If some jewish web designer is only interested in making websites for jewish weddings, I think they should have that right, even if it means turning away christian couples, gay couples, and other couples of protected status who want a non-jewish wedding website created. If some gay web designer is only interested in making gay wedding websites, they should similarly have that right without being compelled to create religious wedding websites.
That's because the demand for subscription content is magnitudes less than ad-subsidized free content.

Even if you made a hybrid model, the content isn't that interchangeable. The type of customer who pays for a subscription is going to consume vastly different content than the freemium customer.
I know this post is talking about the ebooks themselves (format, DRM, retailers, etc.), but I'm continually frustrated by the lack of different e-ink format devices. I would love to get a large, low-power device that I can hang on my wall. There was so much promise for both the ebook format and device, but it seems to have fallen flat.
It also seems like a good way to get the OSS maintainer familiar with the company in case they ever wanted to have a more direct financial relationship
I could go full Stallman on every aspect of my life. I do admire his strict adherence to his own moral code. But at some point you have to realize if you are a gifted person like Stallman, with a large capacity to bring change to this world through uncompromising attitude OR you are just average joe with no real chance of making any meaningful change.

To be frank with you I sleep really well knowing I'm not directly contributing money towards tech giants getting even more powerful while at the same time not completely alienating myself from popular culture.
We took the option of ordering one of the tablets they provide with the software installed already, since he didn’t have a tablet, but you can also just install the app onto a tablet that meets the specs listed on their website. The tablet we got was a large Lenovo one, and the performance seemed decent enough.

I don’t think they can fully remote in, but they can push updates to the tablet I think.

I think the extent to which you can access it remotely is limited to the options in their website/app for family members. You can add administrators with varying access levels, contacts with/without admin privileges , and add and remove links/available apps etc.

If she has pills to take, you can also set up various reminders, questionnaires on how she’s feeling today etc.

The features we used the most were the text messaging and video calling ones - he didn’t really do much browsing. I did try adding links for him, some YouTube videos etc., and it worked fine. The text messaging can be set up so that it sends to your email and/or phone.

Maybe not something you want to even think about, but one thing I really appreciated was having access to all of the messages etc. after he passed. We exchanged many messages, and their support team was able to give me a download link to all of them before ending services.

Hope you find the right solution for your grandmother :) I fully recommend Claris!
That's still to be determined. They're approved for low-visibility landings at fewer airports than any other passenger jet (including the 737), according to this: https://www.faa.gov/5g

But, let's not compare apples and oranges. Concerns about safety doesn't kill people, it protects them. The 737NG has a very low accident rate, and if you're looking for a plane with a statically lower incident rate, the ERJ is your only other clear choice. This is regardless of the fact that the FAA only allows ERJs to land in low-visibility at 3/4 of US airports.
No, if an instance publishes a video it means that it has to host it as a webseed. The torrent mechanism kicks in only when the video is being accessed by multiple people at the same time
I look through the listing of peers, and I don't see a single instance which trustworthy enough to devote my time too. For instance, checking the box "education" brings up a completely non sensible list that provides no context in which to make a judgement about the quality or character of the "tube".

Also, this seems to have the same problem as mastodon, where I have to create an account for each tube, no thanks. Clicking "English" still brings up non english listings, furthering the difficulty of using the app.

Good idea, poor execution.
No, they do have them.

Here's the actual text, so it's only some of the 200's that are unaffected:

"Based on Boeing’s data, the FAA identified an additional hazard presented by 5G
C-Band interference on The Boeing Company Model 737-100, -200, -200C, -300, -400,
-500, -600, -700, -700C, -800, -900, and -900ER series airplanes, except for Model
737-200 and -200C series airplanes equipped with an SP-77 flight control system"

And the SP-77 does include a radio altimeter...apparently a nicely selective one.

I used Hugo+Git+Netlify and it worked well, however its a pain to create a custom template that I love - I'm in the process of switching to Wordpress+Elementor, just because I'm taking a more visual approach to building now and am a bit lazy with trying to manage my own design system and all that...

That being said, there's nothing wrong with Hugo or other static site generators, and they are crazy fast and mostly hands-off once you got what you need.
I dislike Google's censorship. So I don't want them to make more money to engage in more censorship.
The manufacturers charge the dealers for those tools (a fact that some dealers resent); it would be quite something for them to make all that stuff free. I think the manufacturers would stop providing the tools and the codes to anyone, if there's no revenue to be had.
Re battery life, it was decent I think. We left it plugged in most of the time though - it comes with a long charging cable.
That's a very good point, and I agree that Vanced brings a lot to the table over just ad removal. I may even consider using it even though I pay for Premium already. But I imagine that that's a demographic that a very small percentage of Vanced users fall into.
Any customer who actually cared enough to bother to circumvent, is too savvy to be taken advantage of.

It's a filter for idiots.

One of the unfortunate things you'll realize about the (FMCG) advertising industry, is that most of the results from advertisements is made from the impressionable customers.

Impressionable people are the money makers, but they're not the savviest. Hence you're essentially building business models that are targeted at the lowest common denominator.

You don't even want the clever customers, they make you less money.
Two come immediately to my mind. One is a baked potato ... I'd've loved to have been able to have the oven turn on at 16:30 so that the potato was properly baked when I got in at 18:00. I used to do that with the oven I had when I was a teen, but not when I was early in my working career.

The other is the family casserole that we used to have on a Friday night. My parents would prepare it in the morning and program the oven to come on at a low temperature at 15:00. Then when we got home it would be done perfectly.

There are others, those are just the two of which I have direct personal experience.

Charlie's definitely on the right track here, but I think it's worth mentioning that the vast, vast majority of Nintendo consumers don't know/care/understand about Nintendo's scummier practices.

I think it's possible that it can both be true that Nintendo doesn't always treat its fans very well, but Nintendo also makes far better games than any other publisher.
Fwiw there's enough intermingling between how the head unit (infotainment) operates wrt to the CAN bus that your car is essentially online.

The question isn't really whether the radalt fails in any particular test (spoiler: it probably won't). It's whether there's an edge case where the safety case for the aircraft depends on correct operation of the radalt AND there's a failure. I haven't seen the fault tree for the 737, of course, so I don't know what reliability is required from the radalt to be safe; but with the radalts I've worked with it's not unreasonable to have an undetected failure rate requirement of 10^-8/hour or better. (Detected failure rates can be much higher.) Testing enough to show that you're not violating that is /hard/.

Speaking a bit from my own experience, I suspect the guard bands on most radalts out there are wide enough that 5G interference isn't a practical issue. I've seen radalts with 30 MHz guard bands around the 4.1 GHz / 4.3 GHz limit frequencies of interest... and that's friggin' huge. (I'm also sure there are radalts with much smaller guard bands that use more of the available bandwidth for better performance.) But this is hard to analyze fully. Taking the example of the unit I'm thinking of, the center frequency is from a non-temperature-compensated oscillator -- so your worst case is an extreme temperature going to assymetric guard bands, a unit with a weak bandpass to begin with, and a 5G system pouring a lot of energy at (or even, in violation of spec, a bit beyond) the edge frequency. Probably fine. 10^8 fine?
It's not so black and white. From what I've read, radio altimeters operate in the 4.2-4.4 GHz range, and the 5G spectrum in question is 3.7-3.98 GHz. RF systems generally work by choosing a center frequency (say 4.3 GHz for altimeters), and trying to filter off anything outside the band of interest (4.2-4.4 GHz). The junk that remains is noise as far as the system is concerned, and has to be budgeted for very carefully.

The problem is that radio altimeters are pretty old, and their filtering technology is not great. So even though they are filtering the 3.7-3.98 GHz 5G band, it's not as effective as a modern RF system/filter would be. Previously, this wasn't the issue because nothing was broadcasting in that band at particularly high power.

That's the second component of the problem: power. The radio altimeter system is capable of handling some amount of noise power caused by unwanted broadcasts, among other things. Previously, satellites were using this band, and they were so far away that between the distance-based attenuation of the signal and the limited filtering, radio altimeters could operate unaffected.

5G is a different story, though. The towers are much closer to the runway, so the leakage power is much higher. Whether this actually causes a problem for the altimeters is then dependent on a number of factors, including the distance to the 5G tower, the transmit power level, the direction of the 5G antennas, etc.

Could it cause a problem? Sure. I bet if you pointed a directional 5G antenna straight at a particularly crappy radio altimeter, you could materially affect its operation. But there are many mitigation strategies that could be used, like requiring lower transmit power, further antenna distances, appropriate directional transmissions, etc. These strategies have been used successfully in other countries.

The real concern should be the total lack of collaboration between the FAA and FCC. It's turning into a jurisdictional pissing contest.
Elementary my dear Watson
Agree, the societal benefits of 5G are far higher than the cost of retrofitting aircraft with radar altimeters that are compatible with 5G.
Interesting story, I was hoping while reading that your parents got their car back in real time thanks to your geek gear in the back seat.

The story about monitoring hardware and theft reminded me of this burglar incident in the UK (I once met the person involved):

YouTube Vanced also has experimental support for the SponsorBlock, which skips those sections of videos.

One the problems that leads to feelings of impostor syndrome is the constant churn of development technologies and trends that happens in tech, year after year

For example I’m a longtime developer and have over 15 years in the industry but my knowledge of frameworks is only as good as the latest tech stack my company or team has decided to use - should I throw out all my objective experience with monoliths now that micro services are en vouge? Should I abandon my use of Gitflow as a git branching paradigm now that this team uses a single branch model. This project doesn’t use MVVM but they do want to use MVU. The debugging tool has changed and now we use a different bugtracker that I’m not good at

Ie the constant fluctuations in tech, processes and environment are enough to drive anyone to question their learned wisdom

Accepting constant change is a just a given for developers but it does lead to such stress
