No, this wasn't a little Cessna 172. This aircraft is a turboprop and likely has a glass cockpit. Still relatively simpler in terms of systems than most jets, but because it's a turbine it wouldn't be your first choice for someone inexperienced to take over.

Interestingly a big jet might be easier. It would likely be on autopilot and autothrottle when the novice took over. ATC would need to talk them through programming a diversion into FMS and some other systems stuff, but if there was an airport nearby with good weather and a suitable ILS, and nothing failed, they could set up an autoland and never have to actually handle the aircraft themselves.

I'm wondering what about deep-fake CP? With the above narrative about protecting the kids - that would not be kids harmed. Isn't that just going to then generate insane amounts of deep-fake CP if you can't get prosecuted and the abusers learn that?

My assumption is that you can't but I might be wrong - haven't read the whole document. So correct me if I'm wrong.
I did - the rents are cheaper, costs overall are cheaper, there are more amenities, you aren't nearly as reliant on cars, etc.

This is all out there online. Ultimately it comes out in the wash. If you get lucky and don't get fired in the US and you're a 10x dev, it's obviously better in the US. Most aren't in that boat.
I think it's a fundamentally flawed system and it's telling that the numerous times the US has had a chance to setup a new government in the aftermath of overthrowing the last one we've always as far as I know go with the good old parliamentary system of some flavor.
> Stars!! Finally another living human who has heard of it.

There's dozens of us, dozens!

I had a game key for a while and then lost it. So any time I dust it off to play it's the shareware version. The shareware version has pretty high limits so you can just get to "unmanageable endgame".

One of my pet peeves, especially later in the game, is there's no way to upgrade fleets. So if you've got a long lived fleet it'll be way below your current tech level. Woe follows if you forgot it was the only defense for some far flung yet important planet.
This is where I first heard it as well. I remember that it stuck out as being novel in terms of crass humor, but according to the article the term predated it by several years at that point. Makes you wonder about what obscure new words are being used right now that you won't hear for another decade.
What's Git? I dropped out of community college.
Better keyboard only text selection, vertical/horizontal splits (I know about tmux, I still prefer scrolling and searching on true app), true color support, image visualizing would be nice.
The US is hypocritical (most countries are) and meddles with the internal affairs of other countries. Expecting the world to care about US sovereignty is only going to get a few chuckles, nothing more. Certainly no country is in the position to go to war with the US, so we can be thankful for that.

>Oh, you think Americans are racist for wanting to restrict immigration? How would people in India react to massive immigration from Africa?

It's my view that people, in any country, should seize political power to fight for and implement changes they wish to in a legal, peaceful and non-violent manner. Whether it's about healthcare/internal policies/laws/immigration/foreign policy or whatever. If legal immigrants wish to fight for changes to the immigration system, then they should use all the legal rights they are afforded to under the current law. The previous arcs of history are all irrelevant, people should use the power they have in the here and now.
So USSR was exactly as guilty in WW2 happening as Nazi Germany. USSR was not one bit better.
The only other games in that vein I remember were Yoda Stories and I Indiana Jones Stories from LucasArts. Hopefully someone else knows the one you're thinking of.
>Employability was their biggest concern.

Yes, community colleges often have better pipelines into jobs than 4-year schools. Not always, and not for all programs, but for programs where you're learning a trade--usually an AAS degree-- it's common. Though unfortunately AAS degrees usually have fewer courses that can be applied to a 4-year degree down the road. It's a trade off: less expensive & faster path to employability vs. longer term career growth. If you find yourself needing/wanting the full degree later on then on average you'll end up taking more coursework than if you started on a 4 year track.

Anyway, community colleges are highly underrated for this. Lots of people go to 4 year schools out of inertia, not knowing what they want to do and not particularly motivated by anything except social pressure. Much better to figure things out during a relatively inexpensive year or two at a community college in that case. If nothing clicks for you, track into a trades program you can live with to pay the bills. If something clicks, you can be do the same with it, or transfer the work done so far into a 4 year school to finish off.
Yeah, I definitely phrased that wrong.

I recently built a blogging/gallery template that I'm very happy with. My goal is to keep it JS free. I originally wanted to apply it as a theme for PHP/WordPress, since I already had an older one I could rework. But it didn't feel like the end result with JS was worth it. Hence the static site generator route. In theory I think I'll have more control for exactly what I want.
Every experience I had with React Native was truly horrible.

Gigantic, messy JS dependency tree. Constant build breakages after minor version updates. Random flakiness. Unmaintained or buggy native plugins. Questionable support for issues that didn't affect FB.

I wouldn't touch it again.
I went to a “redneck” tech school (EET course. 2 years, full-time). In my case, it worked out.

But I have spent a lifetime, looking up noses…
You cannot have both, unless you're willing to have a legislature that has something like 5,000 people in it, which is not practical. (For instance, the USA has 50 states, so if we wanted 100 representatives from each state, the legislature would have 5,000 people in it — clearly not realistic.)

I think as one of the comments on the article mentions, that this concept is far too easily dismissed. A large part of creating a functioning democracy is actually gridlock when a strong majority can't agree. There are a _LOT_ of advantages of expanding the US house of representatives back out to not only 5k members but maybe 15-20 thousand to match the 30k-50k people per representative that the country was founded with. Starting with the fact that it would cost large organizations a _LOT_ more money to lobby them, vs the amount of lobbying that an individual could perform, and gerrymandering suddenly is a lot more difficult, a representative could actually meet all their constituents, etc.

Many of the difficulties are simply wiped out by the fact that we have computers to count votes, and the ability to record and stream multiple debates at the same time. And of course nothing says that any given representative needs to vote on smaller issues that don't affect their district/etc, and it becomes harder to have country wide parties because local ideals are allowed to express themselves.

Basically everything suddenly has the option to become finer grained, and the difficulties that presents are mostly actual advantages.
Your story deserves to be published.
It's not just the plugins, this culture seeps into just about every guide about Wordpress. Read any guide and it's almost never a person that is just offering helpful advice, it's almost always some SEO spam that leads you on only to hit you with "buy my services/plugins/etc to fix this problem".

Last time I did any work around WP this drove me insane. I remember trying to setup backup or something else simple and I was loosing my mind because there wasn't a single guide that just told you how to do it, they all beat around the bush and eventually the post just turns into a sales copy for their plugin/service/other overpriced bullshit.

Coming from the JS ecosystem, you realize just how different the culture is. Sure there are professional services in the JS ecosystem that cost money, but there's plenty of folks that are just trying to pay it forward and be helpful to the community, even the companies are good stewards. With Wordpress no, everyone is just out to make a quick buck selling you on something.
Those demographics are US-only.
There’s orders of magnitude more closed source than open on macOS. But yeah, all software should be open source.

Former O'Reilly editor here: story checks out. The 1/3 might be a bit low -- I had some surprises (one guy joined the Peace Corps and moved to South America, plus usual divorces and deaths and job changes) but it felt more like 80% completed. This might be the rosy glasses of memory, though.

There's also a weird difference in incentive between writing the first edition and working on updates: if the author was just after "I wrote a book!" then they already have that, and won't be so interested in updating.

If they were made famous and now have a lot of work as a result of the first book, they may not have time for it. It's quite the delicate dance to get someone else to update the book: without the update, sales will drop, but 1st edition authors feel weird giving a lot of their (not sizable) royalties to someone who didn't write most of the text.
My retirement accounts love the sale!
But how is the curve of the lens controlled? Is it some sort of surface tension guided by the edge height of the enclosing ring?
Maybe the US is just good at maintaining a facade that they aren't authoritarian. The US border agents are acting in an objectively authoritarian manner while the Chinese border agents are not and yet somehow you conclude that the Chinese are the real authoritarians. It seems like you are a victim of propaganda.
> An unrelated but very underrated is the egpu. Egpus are external to the pc unlike a dgpu. So you can buy a thin laptop, connect it via Thunderbolt to a rtx 3080 and enjoy faster gpu performance than allowed on any laptop on the market, and enjoy a thin lightweight, silent laptop the rest of the time. Disclaimer Thunderbolt is still a moderate limiting factor in reaching peak performance.

Not just for laptops: this sounds also a bit like what the Switch dock could have been.

(And in some sense, it reminds me of Super FX chip for the SNES.)
This can happen if you’ve disabled browse history in YouTube or you’ve set incognito mode (on mobile).
> 1.) They lie, so either that's going to be commonly known/accepted OR a giant millstone around the neck of any existing company.

You hint at an under-mentioned point here: we want laws that encourage companies to be aware of their users and to protect them, and an unintended consequence of laws that say, "you can continue operating as normal as long as you don't know any of your users are kids" is that companies hear, "don't make any moderation or safety features that might open you up to that kind of accusation."

Of course demanding that companies know all of their users perfectly is an obvious privacy violation with obviously even worse consequences. But even though it's better than hooking up ID verification to social networks, "pretend teenagers don't use the Internet" isn't harmless policy, it's not just that there are popups people click through.

----

I personally feel like this kind of "don't knowingly target" stuff is often counterproductive to keeping kids safe online. It means that when they hang out, almost every space they enter is going to be specifically designed for adults, and will systematically ignore the fact that they exist or might have unique needs -- because ignoring that kids exist and removing safeguards is now the safest thing for the website to do.

On a really small scale, think back to when Youtube got targeted for programming "aimed at kids". One short-term result I saw from that was animators/streamers trying to deliberately make their streams less child-appropriate so they wouldn't be swept up. It's anecdotal and I'd like to see more research on it, but I vaguely wonder if the result of these crackdowns isn't often to make social sites more dangerous for kids.

Apparently they made an exception in this case by donating in USD, but I certainly wouldn't trust an altcoin to be worth anywhere near the original $100k in 12 months.
There is a package manager, what’s missing is a directory tree owned by the package manager and protected from smuggling in unexpected crud without a big red warning for administrators.
Once again, thank you! This aligns very well with what a few friends pointed out about this matter.
I had two brief periods where I used Rexx. The first was the the mid 90's when I used VX-REXX from Watcom, think Visual Basic but with Rexx, to develop a GUI ftp client for OS/2.

The second was in the mid 2000's when I had to write scripts for an interactive voice response system. At least at the time Rexx was big in the IVR scripting world.
Worse is better is simply a local maxima of features - schedule - cost tradeoffs, and there not being enough of a sustained investment to "hop out" of the local maxima.

When those maxima are things like operating systems and programming language ecosystems, those are very very big hops to make.
when you look at all the reserved blocks, that's not a lot of usable address space. the internet says there are roughly 5k commercial aircraft in the air above the us during peak times. i get that these are regionally allocated, but still pretty tight i must imagine.

do modern mode 3 transponders also include tail number or some other unique identifier in a sideband?
Yeah I guess so hah!
thanks for sharing man, some hard earned wisdom.
IQ tests are even more garbage. It's mostly American centric and more so West centric. I had a IQ test for an interview around 10 years ago and it has something like "Unknown number of pennies and nickels are in a jar..."

WTF is a penny and wtf is a nickel? Nickel is supposed to be a metal.

Or "If you hit a golf ball 50 yards..." what's golf? wtf is a yard? one kilometer?
In NZ, MMP is doing us well.

There's still electorate MPs (members of parliament), but there's also MPs determined by their party's percentage of the party vote.

So at election time, you vote for your preferred local representative, and then you vote for your preferred party.
Whoops, I could've sworn something on there said "May 3", my mistake. Guess it's just the Wiki, not the Reddit thread, that was relevant.

GT circa 2001 had an intro OO course that was "use classes to model airlines and seats for reservations in Java" that was... dated... even for then, sounds like not a ton changed very rapidly. ;)
As with software, whatever the real goal is should be decided and then approached directly. Any effect that is brought about as an accidental side effect of an unrelated architectural decision should be regraded as a flaw in the system.

If we want better local representation, we can strengthen local government, or create governments smaller than a city. We can eliminate geographic districts, as units that elect representatives to some higher level of government, but we can still have excellent local government.

If we want cultural representation, we can create a new branch of government, that allows people to identify as a particular culture, and then vote for members of that culture.

If we want religious representation, we can create a new branch of government, that allows people to identify as a particular religion, and then vote for members of that religion.

If we want racial representation, we can create a new branch of government, that allows people to identify as a particular race, and then vote for members of that race.

If we want language representation, we can create a new branch of government, that allows people to identify as speaking a particular language, and then vote for members who also claim to speak that language.

Again, the same rule we apply to software architecture should apply here. Whatever kind of representation we regard as important, we should approach the matter directly, and not try to achieve the effect accidentally, as the side effect of some other architectural decision.

Indeed, many of the problems we see in our political system are exactly because too many goals are being overloaded on too few institutions. If this was a legacy software app, and I was brought in as a consultant to clean it up, I would immediately suggest that a dramatic increase in both encapsulation and polymorphism was needed, and could only be achieved by introducing new branches of government.

To a limited extent, I implied as much when I wrote about the division of labor and the need for highly specialized committees:

Just a hint: if you work for Ionic it's customary on HN to disclose that fact.

Also: what makes a framework "native" for me is that it has it's own rendering stack. With webview solutions you are still facing cross platform inconsistencies between Safari/iOS, Android and Electron.
I absolutely agree with you that USB 1 and 2 did great things for family IT support.

But now we're at the USB 3 (and seemingly 4) stage of things - hence my "plugging stuff in from the outside go the other way..." statement.

Between varying capabilities offered through USB 3 and cables/hubs/docks that support those varying capabilities it is a bit hit and miss whether plugging stuff in will work or not.

I now know (not yet personally verified, from other comments on this article) Lightning 4 branded cables should support all connectivity possibilities and power delivery. It doesn't solve patchy device support but at least it is one step better. Connect two USB3 devices with a Lightning 4 cable is a bit silly marketing wise but at least it is easy to support.
You shouldn't have to defend yourself to some presumptuous asshole on the internet. I'm sorry for what happened to you. I'm also sorry you even have to defend what happened to you on this thread.

I remember after 9/11 getting detained on a flight out of the country than for no other reason than my family was the wrong kind of brown. I remember how unfair it felt watching my mom and my sister cry under the stress of what we all knew was security theater. I remember seeing my dad pull out some diplomatic reserves from somewhere I didn't know in order to de-escalate the situation and get us on to our flight.

We were lucky that day. Many people were not. These situations shouldn't have to be about luck. They should be about fairness, safety, practicality, and most of all respect.
Can you name two Republicans who "equate things like evolution with Democrat ideals"?
I'm probably wrong here but don't you need a ton of real underlying content to make a deepfake? Like the reason you only see convincing ones of world leaders and celebrities is that they have their face out there a ton.

By that logic you would need a ton of actual CP to create CP deepfakes.
Interesting stuff. I suffered from acute lower back pain and fairly severe tendonitis for a few years and taking NSAIDs (ibuprofen, etc.) certainly didn't help much other than to relieve symptoms when they got particularly bad. That practice just led to one round of re-injury after another.

The long-term solution was to change some basic behaviors (never wear a backback while bicycling, use saddlebags instead, and always warmup before exercise), and I also started a very slow recovery program (i.e. about a year-long very steady-and-slow increase in exercise levels). I'm pretty sure a key component was the use of supplements for connective tissue development (glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM, vitamin C) and bone development (calcium-hydroxyapatite and magnesium sources). However, thinking back, I also quit the NSAIDs (which were unnecessary as I always backed off the exercise whenever I felt the slightest twinge during the recovery period).

Nowadays, I just do continual light resistance training for back strength (basically frequent hiking with a well-balanced backpack), some relatively light gym workouts, and I've felt zero back pain for several years, and the tendonitis has also vanished, and I almost never take any NSAIDs (which I used to eat rather like candy). I still take that supplement mix (and I've tried going off it for a few months and had a notable increase in sore joints etc.) but now I wonder if quitting the ibuprofen was equally important.
I used to care about the school and tier of school. But now none of that matters.

Its "Ivy League (+Stanford, +MIT)" or "anything that checks a box" or nothing. The last being the reality for programmers and a handful of other "professional" trades (a federal labor distinction, not me), unless you are not comfortable being ignored by 10x more recruiters than a degreed person is.

Community college firmly fits in the "anything that checks a box" middle just as much as a coveted state school would. Anytown USA Community College is the same as USC or whatever you happen to covet. One gets you cheap credits and some experience and maybe associates degree, the other gets you more expensive credits up to a bachelor's degree.

The associates degree can be a cheap way to get half of a bachelor's degree, since it will transfer as a prerequisite.

Just do the thing and move on. Or don't. Or go to Ivy League and schools on par with that, if its an option for you.

But yeah, I can't knock community colleges. Also, when I was in school (and dissing community colleges) I had no idea that community colleges are full of attractive visa holders, who are checking their own box. Many of them are nannies who were pre-selected by both the agency, and again by the husband/wife duo (and maybe not with equal weight in decision making process) before you ever get a chance to meet them, super not random in attractiveness. Now I know that. Don't overlook them, the community colleges that is. Given all the status chasers and min/max optimizers here, I feel like someone would need to know this.
I'm not talking about a person with 3 followers. People with hundreds of thousands of followers have made calls to violence as well.
Oddly enough, I think someone like the author (self-taught background but perhaps lacking fundamentals), would thrive at a top computer science university. Of course, the difficulty is getting in.

My experience at Berkeley is that all of the topic specific classes were very well taught and rigorous. The world-class researchers teaching my classes were usually very good teachers as well. There weren't that many specific requirements, so there was a lot of space to take free electives. I was able to take a couple graduate level courses and they were extremely fascinating (and of course very difficult). Someone like this would thrive because the main bottleneck in many of these classes was still programming aptitude and debugging skill. Many (most?) students have no experience programming before coming to university.

If someone is a poor adult, schools stop considering your parent's finances once you're 24, so financial aid at top universities can also be quite generous in these situations.
