It seems to me like the treatment for this is to cut down sugars and starch.

Which entities would have financial motives to have people eat less sugar and flour? Specially consider how big the industries behind those two are.

Kiwifarms does neither, as far as I am aware. The site is largely analogous to multitudes of "snark" forums.
From the headline, I was totally thinking of this as like a 3D printer and then thinking "there's no way there's a feedstock for water that's cheaper to make and transport than ... water!".

But it turns out it's rather something like 2D printing that claims to aim the water at particular areas better.
You're not wrong, but the issue one runs into is that if that's the approach the FAA takes to solving the issue, pilots will react predictably: they'll self-defend their careers and be extremely untruthful in mental health analysis screenings.

So, "problem solved" as long as nobody believes anything self-reported in those screenings isn't lies-on-lies.
That does sound unbearable. May I ask what market segment you operate in? Do you make your own products or are you rebranding some kind of generics?
A lot of traffic lights in the US are actually "not just green".

The traffic lights have an abnormally high amount of blue light for being an overall green light, to help people with red-green colorblindness to tell the difference between the red and "green" light.

If you take a look at the green light on a dash cam, you might see that the color is abnormally bluer than what you might see in real life.
thank you, feedback very helpful....we found one example where the title wasn't appearing with the pin, and hopefully have fixed that.
I’m confused, why would the debugging information file be an executable? These are just debugging symbols, no?
You can't even get treatment with drugs for mental health – even for a PPL. e.g. There's only three old depression drugs that are even considered and those come with all kinds FAA caveats and conditions. IMO, there's the stigma, and then there's the FAA discouraging treatment and reporting entirely.
Ok, hold on. Pretend for a minute that you're not a tech support or whatever.

I remember that and did contact Everstream for internet service. It was 1000/1000, but they wanted $500 for running the lines from across the street and then $500 per month after that. Insane.

I'll admit that I'm getting my lay-person's understanding of it from "The Deficit Myth" by Stephanie Kelton, who is a real economist but I have no idea how respected she is in the fields of economics.
The only place where my doxx is "mirrored" right now is KF.
The problem pilots face as pointed out by OP is that pilots facing minor depression who seek treatment face massive repercussions to their career/income, potentially completely losing their career, so instead of treating minor mental health issues they go un-treated (or self medicated) until they're massive mental health issues.

I don't know why you'd be railing against the company here for acting in it's best interest (exactly as you'd expect) rather than the state for giving away money with no strings attached.

A private business sure as hell wouldn't be so foolish as to sign such a contract.

But it's an opt-in GC? It's not accidental by any means
I started, and essentially always did, ops work. It's a lot of grunt work, but it pays off (if anything because there are very few people actually good ad that, and even less people good and willing to do that) and that gives a lot of learnings that are almost directly applicable outside of work.

The first being: if something is not work, speak out and push for the thing to either be fixed or be ripped out entirely, propose an alternative or a solution, if possible. If you see promises that aren't kept, words and words circling about the issue, minimisation of the issues our outright denial of the issue... Just get out, walk away and don't look back.

The above work as well with companies as with people (either friends or significant others).

And in the house... I very often realize i opt for stuff that's low maintenance instead of shiny (99% of the time i don't need the extra features anyway). I bought a lot of "dumb" technology and it's awesome, I get none of the annoyances people complain about nowadays. I particularly love my dumb TV (that I don't watch much anyway). Stuff that mostly does one thing and it's trivial to replace.

Oh and I've learnt to have spare stuff because I know from experience that things break when you need it the most (and stores are closed). So batteries, an extra shampoo, a spare laptop etc...

Ops is truly grunt work but I'm truly happy to have been shaped by it

(I worry a lot about the consequences of my own actions, though).
A perhaps less conventional intervention could be using starlink or similar to permit remote takeover of flights that appear to be going rogue. Potentially also addresses some hijacking scenarios (though maybe introduces others).
I’m dubious of being able to measure that claim.
Leaning on friends to raise kids doesn’t really work. They’ll help out in an emergency, but they won’t babysit two days a week for free.

I know nothing about airplanes, but surely it would be a multi-step process involving override modes, power-down phases, klaxons, red blinking lights, warning messages, physically separate switches, and so forth?
It's on my to-do list for some time to try out editing my jeykll based blog in obsidian directly - especially with obsidian properties editor now being available ("properties" being yaml based front matter).

"ex nihilo" means "outta nowhere" for the normies like me.
I think people come here despite the government.

If they wanted a good government they would move to some country in Europe which pays slightly more taxes but they get way more value for it.

I don't think the US government is doing a good job at all for the amount of taxes we pay.
VAT is literally the reason for sluggish EU growth. 20% tax prempts many buyers from purchasing the good in the first place.

We should do the exact opposite of VAT taxation.

Not limiting at all, you can travel pretty much everywhere safety. The crime ridden areas are usually crammed into small spaces. Poor people in SA are pushed into tiny areas. Lots of tourists come here to drive around and go 4x4-ing and so on. I'm near Cape Town.
> It's horrifically terrible on Xorg. It's not bad on Wayland.

You got those mixed up.

I am both joking and dead serious. Which is why the graphics ecosystem should be indicted: engineers are far too keen to conveniently exclude user stories (or be fundamentally uninterested in them) to document to 1001 corner cases they should be covering with tons of nasty code, instead of finding and optimizing for the One True Way. Nothing changed with Wayland. Xorg is dead, long live Xorg.
Maybe that is a good thing? What if one of the "on duty" pilots tried to crash the plane? Then the off duty pilot can step in. Better to have 2 sane adults against 1.
Well you seem to be making two parallel points. It's common and uncontroversial to rail against bureaucratic inefficiency. But you sully that point by mixing it in with less obvious areas of "waste" like Ukraine. There is accountability for Ukraine aid. The government is very open about that aid and there are competing politicians who are openly against it. The electorate can vote for their preferred policy if it's that important to them.

You seem to argue that it's only accountability if it results in your ideal policy. I disagree - after all, if instead you got your way then would I be able to argue that the politicians weren't held accountable for throwing Ukraine to the wolves? Hardly.
Yeah I think that’s what Starfighter did. And we are discussing how it failed, so…
There was a talk about UB that proved to me there is no way out of this UB box for C++.

Specifically how calculating an int aka signed 32 bit integer index was more performent than calculating a uint aka unsigned 32 bit integer index.

Because the former because an assembly intrinsic and the later can't because uint wraps at 32 bits not 64 bits.

So whether you choose wrapping or UB you are going to piss somebody off.

After all everybody wants the intrinsic. After all you are triggering UB anywhere the wrapping matters.
where do you get that from? i dont see that in the cnn report nor in the study.
It's absolutely incredible.

You can listen to pilots moments before they are about to die and they are nearly universally calm and collected.

I like to remember that when things are figuratively on fire.
The appraised value is rarely very tightly linked to the actual value of the house. It gets adjusted once in a while, and if it's too high you can bring it down, but otherwise the appraisal tends to adjust with inflation while the house price tends to float relative to it.
While the Holocaust is used as justification for the creation of Israel, the Balfour declaration came decades before. Zionism was a European colonial project lead by Ashkenazim. The Mizrahim from Arab states migrated in numbers after the State of Israel was proclaimed.

The Palestinian identity is definitely a modern creation, shaped primarily as a reaction against Israel. But it's not too different from the notion of a Jewish People who need a separate homeland, shaped by European anti-Semitism.

Which will persuade people to believe in the correct narrative, and to disbelieve in the incorrect narrative?
In the abstract that's right, but pilot suicide is a well-documented cause of some fatal passenger plane crashes. I doubt the impetus is unique to pilots, but the means is.
> However, the massive force equalizer is Russian nuclear weapons and I don't see Ukraine getting rid of any of those.

I learned something new today! Apparently Ukraine used to be the third largest nuclear power in the world, then handed them all back to Russia.

> The former Soviet Union had its nuclear program expanded to only four of its republics: Belarus, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Ukraine. After its dissolution in 1991, Ukraine became the third largest nuclear power in the world and held about one third of the former Soviet nuclear weapons, delivery system, and significant knowledge of its design and production.[2] Ukraine inherited about 130 UR-100N intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) with six warheads each, 46 RT-23 Molodets ICBMs with ten warheads apiece, as well as 33 heavy bombers, totaling approximately 1,700 nuclear warheads remained on Ukrainian territory.

The greatest decision I made was moving to a job that is purely offline code and involves zero dealing with the network

Before that I was very frustrated with the amount of boilerplate/infrastructure/logging/metrics/error handling/deployments/graphs/cloud platforms involved in modern web dev

It’s insane how much stuff is involved unrelated to writing code (for good reasons usually)

I just like sitting down and writing interesting code (that’s what got me into this field), so getting to focus on logic/algorithms with code that all lives in one process on one machine has been so much nicer
When I read the title of this post, Cooler Screens, I expected it were about screens that somehow were -- literally and/or figuratively -- cooler.

Alas, it appears to be a not-so-cool Walgreens idea that came into practice.

PS Where does the weird name, Walgreens, come from? Maybe the name originated from the same 'great mind' having this 'cool' idea?
$500 for running the lines under a street isn't too far out of the ordinary (I paid $300 for a longer run, but there was nothing to go under, so the job was easy).

That said, $500/month for service is insane.

Other people wake up in the morning, 'A new day! Ah, up and at 'em!' I wake up, the heaviness is waiting for me nice. Sometimes I even talk to it. I say 'Hi, heaviness!' and the heaviness looks back at me, 'Today you're gonna get it good. You'll be drinking early today.'
747's have an interesting feature called "drive disconnect", which mechanically disconnects the engine accessories like electrical generators and hydraulic pumps.

If you're APU isn't running and you hit the disconnect on all four engines you have no electrical or hydraulic power and there is no way to fix it in the air!

https://www.angelfire.com/ct3/ctenning/electrical_essays/747...

> The pilots control module for the electrical power generation system is in the pilots overhead panel (P5, Figure 3). There are four drive disconnect switches at the bottom of the module. These are guarded switches. Lifting the guard and pressing the switch will cause the IDG shaft to mechanically disconnect from the engine gearbox. This would only be done in the event of an overheated IDG or low IDG oil pressure. Once disconnected, the IDG cannot be reconnected in flight.

It's significantly weakening one of the US's greatest geopolitical enemies for a small fraction of the US defense budget.

Even if you don't care about the US's geopolitical aims and want to reduce the defense budget, eliminating Russia as a military threat is the best justification for reducing the defense budget and stabilizing European democracy.
TBH I don’t trust HN with my data. They have weird account policies, and I’d not be surprised if they felt like witch-hunting someone down they would…especially in the interest of ycomb alumni
Well, no. People commit murder all the time despite being in sound mental being. You could argue that to commit murder requires you to have mental health issues, but that's not always true.

But in this scenario and many others there are strong distinctions between people who commit suicide, people who commit murder-suicide and people who commit mass murder-suicide. Understanding that distinction is important because one is a risk to themselves only and another is a risk to others around them.

The flaw is of course we bucket all of them the same way for pilots, which leads to the last two stewing and hiding.
I'd agree. I'd say adversaries are unlikely to steal data now, wait a decade or two, and then decrypt on a quantum computer for _most_ private company ip. It's only relevant to government at this stage, yet Congress is, unsurprisingly, out-of-touch (or perhaps age?) in this regard.

If you predictably do that then the pilots won't speak truthfully in therapy in the first place.

The only way to get the lesser benefit of therapy is to precommit to not report suicidal thoughts.

The greater benefit of "pilots honestly report their suicidal thoughts and then they are stopped from flying" is simply impossible to achieve, and if you foolishly try to get it anyway then you won't even get the lesser benefit.
Honestly, I would rather be with someone who shower a bit more than they should than someone who doesn't shower enough.

Fact is, smelly people don't think they smell until it is pointed out to them. Sometime these people are from the same background had never been outside of their own group and so they never know it for their entire lives. I have seen plenty of time when just one person can stink up the entire room and everyone is too polite or just too afraid to call it out.

Those meetings were hell.

tl;dr: are you familiar with the book "Death March" by Edward Yourdon?

At my job there aren't any clearly defined roles. Development takes ages, there is no sense of accountability, and there is no desire from anyone to actually improve anything. All development is done by one single developer unless you were chosen to be on one of the two sub-development teams that exist (I never see them or hear what they're up to)

The CEO will assume the role of product manager for a given project and disappear 99% of the time. The head of the dev department will assume the role of project manager and also disappear for 99% of the time. I see him working on other tasks including submitting and self-approving PRs for small, random bugfixes that would be better suited for junior developers

If you want a product manager to weigh in on your work, they will do that at the tail end of development when one is randomly assigned to look at what you've made, but only right before you're ready to ship. And you, software developer, have to dictate to them how this thing that you were told to build should fit into their product roadmap, whatever that is, even though that discussion won't result in any follow-up development work

While working, posting detailed progress updates in multiple formats is encouraged. In other words, you should record a demo of what you're doing, then also transcribe that into screenshots and text in case someone has a preference for one over the other (though it doesn't really matter since nobody is going to look at either)

When you get input, it will always be to request for more changes. "I told you to name this feature 'actions' last month? Well I think it should be 'plans' now. Go rename all of the files, endpoints, database fields, and everything else. Plans are done? Well here's a discussion I had with someone else the other day in a separate issue that you weren't involved with where I said 'maybe plans should be given a special dashboard, but I'm not sure'. So why didn't you make that special dashboard? You can't release an incomplete feature, you know"

Features can't be shipped until someone else signs off of them. I have shipped several features by deliberately bypassing these checks. Nobody has noticed or cared so far

My direct "boss" has no realistic input or effect on anything that I'm actively involved in working on. I check in with him every couple of weeks where I bring up the lack of involvement from a feature's stakeholders and the endless scope-creep on whatever projects I'm handed. He tells me that even though I've pinged everyone who's involved multiple times, I really just need to keep pinging them for input. They are simply too busy to check their notifications or even do their jobs, after all. Otherwise, I should just keep on keeping on

But hey, at least the pay is good!
Hypothetical: If SQL were immediately type-safe in your static language
Hypothetical: If SQL were immediately type-safe in your static language...
What would be your preferred means of customizing projected entity and query types/classes?

Note, this is actual SQL, not a DSL approximating it.

Let's assume a domain model is the target.

"Type-safe" means types for ALL of SQL are present:

- DDL (entities)

- SQL selects (queries)

- query results

"Immediate" means no code gen build steps.

Options for customizing types include:

- allow for the super type to be supplied (for common behavior, not state)

- allow for entity classes to be supplied (user-supplied entity class would subclass/compose projected one)

- class extensions / extension methods

- utilize delegation. The assumption is generated types are interfaces.

- something else?
Broker-dealers often have a short holding period anyway, so the use of MTM accounting is basically a wash and I imagine it's a lot easier than tracking exactly when you bought each security.

Things that banks and financial companies hold for a long time get a lot more care in terms of their accounting, in general.

It is in a company’s best interest to make sure corruption is legal?
Reading this you would think billionaires are all sitting is swimming pools full of money like Scrooge McDuck. The vast majority of these assets are in the form of the ownership of companies. The only way to unlock that wealth is to force sale of these assets. This raises several question.

Who should control these companies. Government? Now politicians and civil servants are running your economy. Plus you don’t actually get any extra public revenue to spend on anything. You just confiscate industries you now have to operate.

So ok, let’s sell these shareholdings. To who? If we’re ending large scale private wealth, where are the buyers? I suppose you might dilute ownership to more private capital but is that actually better? You’re just arbitrarily changing ownership. Seizing one persons assets and selling it to someone else. Some of those people will do better at it that others and what do you know, we’ve got billionaires again.

Except now they know you’re going to take their assets off them. What effect will that have on stock prices, investor confidence, entrepreneurship?

I don’t think this has been thought through very well. Or at all. The way to fix taxation is to, er, fix the tax system.
