That's a mind blowing take to me. Webdev has been so lucrative and easy compared to my previous careers, you could even say cushy.

But more than that I think people tend to associate teaching kids a skill with pushing them toward that career. Do I want my kids to be professional web devs? Probably not. Do I want them to be good enough at programming that they could publish their own work or promote their own interests? Yes!

It wouldn't have a significant impact on the pilot shortage. If you look at the FAA airman statistics [1], there are fewer active pilots today than there were in 2013. Not commercial or airline pilots, but all pilots total. The entire recruiting pipeline has collapsed, even though there are 25% more licensed instructors and double the number of student pilot licenses (starting in 2016, the FAA made them perpetual instead of a 60 month expiration date so that stat is actually meaningless).

There just aren't enough people involved in general aviation at the start of the funnel to feed the demand for commercial and airline pilots later. Changing some HR policies won't move the needle on that.

100-120 hours per month, which leaves 30-50 hours per month "office time" to use your term and that can easily be taken up with non flight time required tasks like planning, logs, safety, CE, etc

Postglacial land uplift

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lantm%C3%A4teriet

Lantmäteriet (The Swedish Mapping, Cadastral and Land Registration Authority) is a government agency in Sweden that provides information on Swedish geography and property.

...

Lantmäteriet was founded in 1628, when Swedish general mathematician Anders Bureus was tasked with systematically mapping out the Swedish Empire and educating new land surveyors under directions from the Swedish King Gustaf II Adolf)
I agree with the sentiment, but it's a little too optimistic to presume tax payer foots the bill only for public sector endeavors. The huge financial industry bailouts weren't even that long ago! Private over public, but there should be no "too big to fail" and no cartels.
I think the idea is, currently a website owner can get a fairly good idea where you are. What google wants to do is change things so google knows exactly who you are and visited that website and what you looked at and searched for. And the website owners can get that if they pay google. And if they don't they have no idea who or where you are.

Yeah no thanks.
Note that people requesting information collected on themselves was enabled by the GDPR's information-related-to-me provisions, as retained after Brexit. I look forward to the Conservatives dismantling it after realizing that it's used against them.
Southern Limburg (and before you reveal you are a Hollander, no, thats not just Maastricht) is terrible, but the locals don't see it because they think bikes are a sport and tourists are, well, tourists. Things are not very different in the north (other than fewer hills). There isn't but should be a freelying bike path density index to quantify this, I think it should be helpful.

But really, I have found that the more non-urban it gets, the more likely it is sideskirts where cars pass you at 80kmh at a meter distance are the best you can hope for. Data on how people commute supports this BTW: the Netherlands _also_ is a car loving country, yet those worlds rarely seem to speak. I'm not terribly Dutch, so I seem to be not observing some social and regional walls or something.
How much of that so-called "office time" is spent in remote cities waiting for the required crew rest time to complete before making one's next flight?
It is highly variable depending on your skillset.

I changed positions in April. I decided after 15 years at the same company that I wanted to work closer to home so I started looking and agreed to an offer about a week later. I gave a four week notice and the transition was smooth.

There are some fields and sets of skills where I think it might actually be impossible for someone to be unemployed except by choice.
>We do not expect

I seem to have discovered the problem. Expect the worst, be surprised when it doesn't happen.
I’m tired of people citing “mental health” issues as a way to soften any wrong doing by people who should otherwise be thought of as murderers with criminal intentions and no regard for human life. These people should be locked up and kept far away from civilized society, not sympathized.

Plenty of people with mental issues get through life without wanting to kill others off. And a lot of people who want to kill others don’t even have mental health issues, they’re just evil or apathetic.
Interesting with this incident, it was "technically" -- in the most pedantic sense of the word -- not a level four.

The guy never breached the cockpit, he was already IN the cockpit!

Scary stuff, fortunately he was both deranged and incompetent.
The original motivation for the Pi was to offer current generations the same learning opportunities that low cost home computers offered those growing up in the 1980s. An expensive shared family PC in the 2000s didn't encourage tinkering. And things would get even worse as these PCs got replaced with closed smartphones as the only computing platforms people would grow up with.

So a really cheap computer, even if limited, would allow the young programmers to experiment and even if they ended up damaging it at a sufficiently low cost it wouldn't be a disaster.

The initial prototype hooked up two of the same processor in the first Arduinos, one running a Python interpreter and one generating a TV output. Booting to a programming prompt like the 1980s micro would encourage learning the language.

The second prototype used a much more powerful chip and the third added an ARM that could run Linux (it was the one shown in 2011 which looked like a fat USB pen drive). They realized that though the 1980s home computers booted to a Basic prompt, most of the time they loaded ready made games from cassette tapes instead. Having Linux would open up the modern Internet to the little machine.

I think they could have had it both ways - with a small local flash they could boot to a Python prompt if the SD cards was not present. With the card you would go into Linux. In a way, the original idea is finally here with the RP2040 microcontroller configured for MicroPython even though that has the flavor of cross-development instead of a stand-alone machine.
Consumer report is not that good
(duplicated from non-main thread)

I was on this flight, I sat in the back and did not witness the initial events however I heard the pilot say we were diverting the flight to PDX and shortly after the jumpseat pilot was led to back of the plane.

I thought he was having a heart attack, or possibly diabetic because the flight attendants were telling him it was "going to be okay" and to "take deep breaths", the guy was acting scared and non-violent.

The flight attendant later announced it was a "medical emergency" which I thought it was weird because they never asked if there was a doctor on board. The pilot later explained that there was a "disturbance in the cockpit and we will likely board a new plane". Finally after we landed he was escorted by police.
Everyone across the spectrum does it. It's a way of reinforcing the power of a particular political camp. There's a way to fix that though, make it very difficult to fire people. Then companies will need to be incredibly clear about what conditions they're choosing to terminate under.
As unlikely as it is, digital payments being regulated as a utility is far more likely than a scenario where entire countries currencies are subverted en mass. Util I can be paid, pay taxes and do everything else, it's a non-solution.
They are expensive to run and don't make any money.
Why Rust Is Making You Fail
I am not a lawyer, just an avid OpenStreetMap editor and like to see where my contributions are used and credited.

> And last and not least, it's not that the attribution is hidden or unreachable for the people using the app. It's right there, shown on tap, first line in bold text, the link to it is always visible on the map.

The OpenStreetMap Copyright page [1] is pretty clear: "Where you use OpenStreetMap data, you are required to do the following two things: 1) Provide credit to OpenStreetMap by displaying our copyright notice. 2) Make clear that the data is available under the Open Database License."

The guidelines for attribution even suggest a text to use: https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Attribution_Guideline... and this text is certainly not "Legal" linking to an Apple URL.
As I see it, complying with the license would be putting "© OpenStreetMap contributors" at the bottom of your map view, but again, IANAL, just an OSM nerd.

You’re not alone…I think the docs for hotwire need two entry points:

1. (This is the current entry point): I have a rails app already, and I’m looking to progressively enhance it with a splash of turbo, responsiveness, magic.
2. (This is where something is missing): I’m building a rails app for the first time, and want to start out with a relatively high level of interactivity using hotwire. The docs don’t really offer much wisdom here, I’ve found, probably because the main adopters have all added this incrementally.

When you’re building from scratch, it’s harder to know which pattern will work best.
Would it make sense for the municipality to own the pipes that run in the city ? Like some cities own the sewer pipes.
Could it be an infrastructure that the city builds, owns, maintains and rents to ISP ?
The city would have a full control on how many houses are connected.
That is the type of investments that a city is suited for (i.e. large upfront cost financed by bonds).
AT&T, Charter, Comcast, they have no incentive to invest a lot upfront.
And they might duplicate the infrastructure.
At the end the customer pays for the piecemeal fiber deployment, and redundancy.
When we rented, anytime the market shifted, the landlords raised rents on us. It was hell. I was paying more than what a mortgage was.

When I bought, all that went away. We bought a nice house that didn't need immediate work done. My mortgage was below rental rates.

So my point is that it takes a little insight when buying a house, but if rents are expected to go up (which are expected almost always), then it's a wise decision long term. Yes, house maintenance needs to be factored in, but those costs are amortized over long-term.
That algorithm was never chosen as a final candidate, unlike Dilithium and Kyber. Nevertheless, it remains intriguing because it advanced significantly in the competition until this vulnerability was identified, which allows for it to be cracked in just a few minutes on a standard computer. This underscores the inherent risk of rapidly introducing new algorithms, whether quantum or not. While RSA might become vulnerable to future quantum computers, its resilience since its public introduction in 1977 (aside from the need to increase key sizes) is quite an achievement. This is why new algorithms should always be paired with trusted classical algorithms to get the best of both worlds: if the new post-quantum component is flawed, at least you're not worse off than if you had used classical algorithms. On the other hand, if quantum computers capable of breaking practical sizes of RSA or ECC emerge, there's still the hope that the post-quantum element remains intact.
Using LLMs for test data generation
Does tree planting make an area greener? How is greener measured? Planting trees just to cut them down for lumber doesn't seem very green in that typical sense. And treating agricultural areas as green doesn't seem accurate either. Agricultural plots decimate the local ecosystem. So maybe a picture of the rectangle from above is literally green, but is it really green in the sense of it promoting healthy ecosystems?
> Maintenance is problematic if things aren't built with maintenance in mind

I've spent a long time in startup land, sometimes as the only "back-end" person and nothing teaches you to build for maintenance like having to maintain some self-inflicted cleverness or overarchitecture.

Now that I'm a pointy-haired boss, I make sure that my teams are accounting for observability and maintainability in addition to scaling and reliability. That means using tools and topologies that are known, understood, and not overly complex.
UN: International Community Must Urgently Confront New Reality of AI
If you have to shower every day (never WFH basically) then I highly recommend just using warm water and no soap or shampoo. Let your skin and hair’s natural oils stay where they are. You don’t need soap to wash off stale sweat and … other odors.
Sure, but, the relationship was symbiotic as it didn't seem that Gordon would have been able to build "the Giant" (PC) or other substantial project without the vision, push and the acquired funding (at ANY cost) from Joe.

This too (and I know I'll get flack for this one) seemed to be the case with Jobs and Wozniak, Wozniak is an undisputed genius on both hard and software level but Silicon Valley had and has very smart engineers, it was the two of them that were needed to make the magic happen.
After 24 hours, my hair is a grease bomb. And that's the most polite thing I can say. Yup, I do indeed need to shower every day.

And honestly, I enjoy my meditative time in the shower to start my day off.
There is no significant increase in risk by putting pilots, who are already controlling a plane when on duty, in a jump seat when they're off-duty.

Absolutely delusional!
Well if you look at it as a health care system with no oversight (Chinese and Indian), you’re going to get a lot of charlatans that peddle and make claims about anything. That doesn’t mean that there isn’t a lot of useful information that has filtered down through pure practice and error over two or three millenia of continuous use. It’s the perfect opportunity for the synthesis of rigorous science and time tried remedies.
Ask HN: How to Find Better Style?
I'm a 33 male software engineer. How can I find a better clothing style? The style should not be too trendy, but it also shouldn't look too boring or weird, it should rather be solid. I would like to hear about plain, old blogs instead of Instagram and the like. I'm looking for both very casual style clothing and something that I can wear in a business setting, but no suits.
These days you can buy a battery bank which can jump start a car a few times. They are not so expensive (70USD), at least cheaper than road aide assistance.
Logical direction, but the real killer feature would be for an LLM to read every page you bookmark and not just categorize it once for you, but add it to a queryable knowledge-base that you can reference at any point in future conversations.
In some places they seem to be working around it. Here in Nashville they cut into every street/alley to run fiber (it isn't available at my apartment, but they did run it down our street, which is not a main street at all).
That's not what your original comment said at all.

You still haven't pointed out which capital losses get you taxed more. If you were referring to inflation, then why not just say that directly?
"Starting in mid-2025"
In point 1 where Will Smith is quoted reminded me of about the year after I graduated college. I wasn't anywhere close to rich, but I had just achieved every goal I had set for myself: I got hired by the company I was hoping for, was living in a reasonably nice place and was in a relationship with my future (ex) wife.

I was in a good place, but also slightly lost while I figured out my next set of goals.
Hot water is my favorite modern luxury. I'd shower twice a day if it wasn't such a poor environmental choice.

I need to shower every day that I exercise and get sweaty, which is most days unless I'm overloaded with work.
Aha, thanks for clarifying. It sounds like the two week delay is unfortunately part of the DMCA after all, doh!

10 business days may have sounded like a shorter amount of time 20 years ago, for the use cases anticipated then. With what's actually occuring, and the widespread use of unjustified takedown requests, it is much harser than I think was planned.

Unfortuantely, if there were any ammendments to happen to DMCA now, I think they'd be in the wrong direction.
It depends. Do you expect mortgage rates to go down in 2+ years? Refinancing will lower those rates. Also, if rates do go down, house prices will jump up. How many people are waiting for houses right now? House prices will not stay the same, even if inventory increases, as demand will go up as well.
It's called sapphire.
Yes, yes you do.
Then you have to trust a bunch of people on the ground to be sane, in addition to whoever is in the cockpit.
I think this is possibly putting too much thought in. I kind of assume it's because he's _desperate for attention_; every time the Musk news dies down he does some stupid thing or other so that people talk about it.
I remember you and Patrick hosting a meetup of HN folks once where we talked about Starfighter. I remember thinking that it was an excellent way to hire but every place I've been I've had trouble getting management and HR to buy into it as a strategy. Even when I made it up to VP I still made little to no headway.

It's very hard to shift companies that are eigher larger or with more internal history than a startup to try something like this.
But is "and" being used to form a set of acceptable forms of identification (any of which would be sufficient), or is it joining the forms of identification together as all being required?

Two steps: Pull the fire handle, then turn the fire handle.

It's a valid question if that is safe enough. Once you release the fire suppressant into the engine, I think engine restart becomes impossible.
There's nothing that will get me to stop showering before I leave the house (which is every day. But, like, I don't feel comfortable just showering every day. I need to shower in the morning to feel clean) precisely because I never, ever want to be the person you can smell in a room.

I don't care if it's healthier. I was around enough stinky people and I'd die of shame if people talked about me like they talked about them.

Sure.
This is tangentially addressed in one of my favorite articles of all time, talking about the importance of strong encryption without backdoors: https://medium.com/@blakeross/mr-fart-s-favorite-colors-3177...

The point being, there is no perfect trade off, but that this one is much better than the alternative. In this case, I think most airlines have moved to the incrementally better trade off of ensuring at least two people in the cockpit at all times.
Interesting. did not know that. Looks like they possibly destroyed some too back in the 90s?
Blast from the past, the Excel easter egg. Solid.
The approach proposed in this paper is to watermark LLM generated text using character-substitution from various simple characters (normal whitespace, normal letters, etc) to semantically equivalent Unicode code points (such as U+2004 THREE-PER-EM SPACE instead of normal spaces, or replacing specific character sequences with equivalent ligatures).

The authors appear to be entirely aware that this sort of substitution can be trivially stripped out by normalizing down to a simplified character set ("The critical limitation of Whitemark is that it can be bypassed by replacing all whitespaces with the basic whitespace U+0020, then the validator can no longer detect the watermark"), but believe that it still has value because the typical student using an LLM to write their essay won't know anything about Unicode.

This seems a bit naive to me. Implementing the necessary "watermark remover" normalization as a simple webapp would be an easy afternoon project for most of us here, and if this approach reached any sort of widespread use there would be many such sites. Students who intend to cheat by using an LLM to write their essays are entirely capable of learning "there's some secret data hidden in the text so copy-paste it through this other site to strip that out before turning it in". Even without access to such a tool they could simply...retype the text themselves?

Arguably this still has some value. In most contexts there is minimal downside to watermarking the generated text in this way, and a slight possibility of catching some cases in which people lazily present LLM generated text as human written. However this might give people a misplaced belief that the absence of such a watermark means the text is authentically human authored, which might outweigh the benefits of catching the occasional lazy or ignorant user.
So maybe the path to success for a school is to game the rating system long enough to become a magnet school, then parents who care and can afford to will relocate to be in your school district. Now that the "good" parents have come to you, you're a "good school"!

NYT commenters point out that people who have extremely high income are more likely to have very smart kids. Even the article admits that academic ability is heritable.

This doesn't seem to be a safety issue you can plug by not allowing them in the cockpit off duty if you allow them in the cockpit on duty.
I’ve written this elsewhere, but I think a big part of it is that as software developers we love solving puzzles.

Figuring out a quick bugfix is like solving a puzzle, so is figuring out the right combination of flags for a cli command to do what it needs to. We subconsciously enjoy creating puzzles for other devs to solve, and when they figure out how to solve it, they feel good and like the tool we developed. It’s a vicious cycle of puzzle making and puzzle solving.

We make candidates solve puzzles to get a job!

But interesting puzzles aren’t usually the best solution to a user need. Until we break out of the puzzle-solving mindset I don’t think software will get better. Using a simple tool to get a job done simply scratches a different itch than the one we’re used to.
Yeah, I'm aware of that. I love what you're going with geoparquet, it's certainly quite nice for analysis and some viewing. But there are still going to be a lot of datasets and clients that aren't going to be able to handle that where the tiled approach will work.

I'm looking at this currently for a couple of clients, and I think that for what we're doing -- we're going to wind up serving both a view and analysis version separately.
Probably not need but I can't imagine not doing it every day and I don't even live in a hot climate (Central Europe).
