This year I started picking up on fixing analog electronics as an extension of my stage hand/ audio engineering/ etc work. It's fun and feels nice when I can actually fix something, plus it's a cash business.

For instance, on my own I was able to identify a bad opamp on the in input section of a mixer and rework it (after replacing a bunch of electrolytics and a couple smd transistors, cause I am a novice at this kind of work). Still, I'm not totally a stranger to electronics.

I started in on that book- I kind of agree with the preceding comments.

I plan to come back to it, but I have been watching a lot of youtube, and that has felt a lot more helpful in a lot of ways. I mostly am interested in learning to reason about what is happening in analog circuits so I can eventually clone some instruments and signal processing- maybe I am not the audience for the book.

Like Aaron Lanterman's lectures at Georgia Tech are feeling a whole lot more useful to my interests (granted, I am mostly trying to understand analog electronics because that is what folks bring me that need to be fixed).

Similarly, following Moritz Klein's discussions has been quite helpful... the whole "here is what we're going to build" and then following through with things has felt very siilar to Ben Eater's series on microprocessors.

Still, the chummy ivy-leage tone of TAE wasn't super duper fun for me. I will probably keep returning to it until I can get through it quickly, but for my purposes (and I suspect a lot of folks who aren't on an academic path) it's not maybe the quickest, strongest path to a lot of ends.
The transistor or vaccine argument is a poor argument because no one during Victorian era was able to purchase that.

One looks instead relative to other countries in the same time frame, to ask if a country is richer or poorer.

In this case, England was an absolute super power at the height of having India as a colony. They were much richer than the Irish, Finns, and Swiss when India was part of the English empire. Moreover, Englands wealth was directly increased by owning major colonies around the world.

“Their knowledge letting them complete the test earlier is bad” is an interesting take.
Any business proposition that begins with "Hey, I hear you're a programmer!" doesn't sound like a good business proposition at all.
In such dire straits as you describe, companies and individuals will likely be forbidden to provide any sort of commercial services to the opposing side.

Within the normal flight envelope this holds. But getting into a spin in a glider in ms fs shoes you the limits of lookup tables / their implementation as the behaviours is completely wrong. ( At least ask the way up to fsx)
Assuming you mean the one labeled "voltage divider", the problem is that it doesn't actually divide voltage because the input and output are switched. The unloaded output voltage is the same as the input voltage.

If _everyone_ is doing it, maybe the regulators should ask themselves if the physics of a diesel ICE actually make it possible to comply with emission standards.

I mean if we have 100% of brands implementing some deception strategy, then you either need to:

1. Admit you can't make diesel engines comply with standards and ban them outright.

2. Relax regulations to what's possible to create with best current tech and accept the cost of pollution on health.

Doing this catch and release shit is just outright corruption and slaps on the wrist for their buddies at the cost of those millions of lives you mentioned.
My name is Patrick Bateman. I’m 27 years old. I believe in taking care of myself, and a balanced diet and a rigorous exercise routine. In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I’ll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial masque which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion. There is an idea of a Patrick Bateman. Some kind of abstraction. But there is no real me. Only an entity. Something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours, and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable, I simply am not there.

Yeah, nah, no way this can be taken at face value. If you've never flown before, this would be apparent to your instructor before you'd even got in the plane.

I haven't flown for a while, but three things jump immediately to mind
- The absence of your log book
- Not knowing how to do a walk around inspection (yeah, I'm calling bs on that too)
- Banter with the instructor
I'm an airline pilot and an instructor. If you spend thousands of hours in a flight simulator, you're probably the type of person who will try to absorb all the information you can about flying airplanes. This kind of person will probably do well when learning to fly the real thing. There will be a lot of bad habits to break, not the least of which is a fixation on the instruments.

I do not recommend somebody go and spend time on a simulator to do their VFR training, it's a waste of time. You will learn far faster in the real plane and your time not flying is better spent studying the books.

Just one (not so humble) pilot/instructor's opinion.

EDIT: for IFR flying, the simulator is very useful, but I would recommend using it under the guidance of an instrument instructor. It's easy to pick up bad habits otherwise.
That’s good. I took AP computer science in high school thinking we would learn how to make apps with graphical user interfaces (didn’t know there was any other kind) so I was uninterested and never payed attention/studied since when we only learned Java and not the kind for making UI’s.

I had a friend whose mom was a programmer and she would help us get the answers to homework problems. I would change variable names and a few other things, but one time we still got caught with way too similar answers.

In order not to get my friend and his mom in trouble, I told the teacher that I had in fact cheated but not from my friend. I stayed up for a few nights learning HTML and other things (well, modifying other code I found) in order to make a blog where a similar question as the homework problem was discussed, so that I could cite it as my source. At first I tried using blogging software but the timestamps are automatically coded as the current date, which wouldn’t work. So I had to make my own blog-looking site from scratch complete with several months worth of content, which was pretty much plagiarized I think.

It was way more effort than actually doing the homework would have been.
My 2004 Toyota has the most reliable and intuitive phone integration I've seen, far better than the Tesla "everything is one screen so you need to look down and click through menus to find the toggle you want", and the CarPlay "Oh you're in a car? Let's give you a giant screen way below the normal eye level to distract you, then purposefully disable a ton of arbitrary features to make it more "safe", even if it means you take way longer with your eyes off the road to work around all the limitations they impose."

I have a magnetic phone charger suctioned to the windshield, and I installed a bluetooth integration into the stock head unit. The phone UI is the exact one I use day to day, I don't ever have to take my eyes off the road, and all the normal car functionality is physical buttons and switches whose positions I've memorized.
> see Siri, Apple photos, predictive text etc)... we only have evidence that they suck at ML

…or that they only deal with mature tech and not the shiny new thing. Makes sense to me. I don’t doubt everyone will have a personal LLM-based assistant in their phones soon, but with the current rate of improvements to LLMs and AI in general, I’d wait for at least a year more while doing R&D in-house if I were Apple.
I had heard of it, but had not read it before. I am finding some logical fallacies in their statements, haven't finished it yet.

For instance, "Most people intuitively and correctly reject extrapolations like those shown in table 3, because the results appear ridiculous. It must be recognized, however, that in rejecting extrapolated values, one is also rejecting the assumption that there will be no change in the system"

... no, a valid criticism would be that your model is wrong and should be rejected, and you need a better method for doing extrapolations. Table 3 predicted in 1970 (when it was written) that the Chinese GNP per capita in 2000 would be $100 (it was about $1200 according to the stats I can find online).
Just a suggestion, but when speaking of Him, you should probably capitalize Noodly Appendage… I mean, you’re not wrong, but it’s better ;)

In fairness, Lula's block has little to do with it. A bit more now that Lula gets to appoint new court Judges, I guess, but -

there have been many pushes from the Supreme Court against the right-most Bolsonaro block because it openly flirted with a military coup. This is the blowback.

In fact, the very first instances of those pushes were during Bolsonaro's presidency; some motivated by government inaction or overreach (the disputes between Federal and State government during the pandemic comes to mind), some by political clash (Bolsonaro's son openly flaunting "closing down" the Court with military intervention; the usage of state cerimonies as rallies, and most importantly the Jan 8th stuff)

As far as I can tell, a political group that threatened the established government structure lost and said structure is now reinforcing itself. If the purpose is to ensure resilience against future attacks or a power grab is anothee discussion, but the primordial movement's reasons are clear
Dumb question, but couldn't you just tell the OpenSSH server to use port 80 or port 443 or something and just connect like `ssh me@host -p 80`?
> IMO you shouldn't censor anything.

What is the platform for? Checking out pictures of your grandchildren and keeping up on with the knitting group or is it for an international propaganda war? If you censor nothing then it's no longer a platform, it's a war zone. You can argue that the censorship is unfair, politically skewed, etc but you can't argue that it shouldn't be done at all or there won't be one inch of the Internet not dedicated to this and every other conflict everywhere.

If HN itself went completely uncensored it would become useless to us almost immediately. Who ever posts most, wins.

For me 2 day delivery is still pretty good since the alternative tends to be either waiting a week or two, or putting in a lot more time and effort to go get the thing in person (most likely by taking the entire day to go to and come back from NYC).

Both Window HRV and Quiet Corsi-Rosenthal MERV13 Air Filter are business projects which deserve attention from those with more money than time. They are compatible with decentralized manufacturing, field testing and new building regulations for indoor air quality.

12 May 2023, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36238958

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has extensively updated its ventilation guidance on helping prevent indoor transmission of the virus that causes Covid-19. The agency had advised people to ventilate indoor air before, but this is the first time a federal agency has set a target – five air changes per hour – for how much rooms and buildings should be ventilated.

Air quality experts cheered the updated recommendations. “It’s a monumental shift. We haven’t had this. We haven’t had health-based ventilation standards,” said Joseph Allen, director of the Harvard Healthy Buildings Program. Allen says that although it’s easy to see the guidance only in the context of Covid-19, it will help with many other airborne hazards like wildfire smoke, allergens and other infectious diseases, such as the flu.

The move comes the day after the US ended its public health emergency for Covid-19.
People reading the parent comment should be skeptical. It’s very likely at minimum an embellishment. More likely it’s simply a blatant fiction. Don’t be “that guy”: years of playing desktop flight sim does not prepare a person for even the most basic maneuvering in a real plane, whether on the ground or in the air.

I’m downvoting the comment because I think it’s misleading and potentially encouraging dangerous behavior.
> It still seems better than the US system (especially vs. here in California, where we have a one party system, and primaries are often uncontestable).

Huh? California has had jungle primaries for years. The top two candidates with the most votes in the primaries run in the general election, even if they're both from the same party. That makes the primaries a lot more competitive than usual like when Kevin de León (D) ran against Dianne Feinstein (D) for the US Senate seat in 2018.

The only chance Republicans even have of running against a Democrat is when the Democrat is so popular that no one bothers running. This past gubernatorial election, the next closest Democrat won 50x less votes than Newsom so Brian Dahle (R) got to go to the general election with only 17% of the total turnout (Newsom had 56% in the primaries and won the general with 59%).

Ever since we managed to extricate the GOP from state government, one party rule has been going pretty well. Not perfect, but a lot better than the "bipartisan" shit show Davis and Arnold left us.
Good luck getting that in the constitution when all the leaders who'd vote on the amendment would be directly burdened by its passing, and trying to educate your average voter on how it works.
Thank you for this context!

>violation of multiple WP policies, repeat ban evasion, sockpuppeting, and IP hopping are all clearcut violation of the CFAA, which is a federal criminal act

Is there legal precedent that each and every one of these actions, individually, is a criminal violation of the CFAA? That seems like a bold claim.

The DC Circuit, at least, has specifically ruled violating TOS is not a CFAA violation.[1] So, it seems fairly inaccurate to say violating “WP policies” is a “clearcut violation of the CFAA”. I’m not sure about legal precedent for the other actions, but I’d be skeptical.

Unless the laws changed, rent controlled apartments are rented out at market rate, and then price increases are strictly controlled.

I lived in a rent controlled apartment in SF for a year. What was frustrating was realizing that I was paying significantly more rent than other tenants in similar units.
I might not have been clear, but this was my manager, who was not spending time pair coding with us and things like that. His job was to deal with things at a much higher level, and this was the type of thing he would do in meetings where we were writing design documents for complex new features or entire new systems; at the abstraction where he was involved, the discussion wouldn't be about the "how" but the "what" and the "why. Building off of your example, let's say one of his engineers wrote a design document about a new piece of data called Foo that was getting added to our database, and the document mentioned that the new piece of data would be considered optional rather than required because we'd only have access to it in the newest version of the client software, and the EOL for the last version not to provide it was two years away. He might mention that customer Bar just upgraded to the latest version of our client and expressed interest in using the Foo data, and ask why they wouldn't be able to get the Foo data from their client, with the idea that he'd be corrected and told that the customer would be able to get the Foo data because they had just upgraded and the latest client had access to it.
That just changes the port it uses. It wouldn't change the protocol.

What exactly is "hard" about it?

Decades ago, I used zApp, wxWidgets, Java Swing, Qt and Python GTK bindings. None of those were particularly hard.

What blows my mind is how long it took the web to get flexbox (Java GridBagLayout, IIRC).
The fact of history repeating after the Enlightenment is backed up by the Don Henley song talking about how we elected an old man to be King…may be referring to Reagan, but it fits the times we live in…

What are you talking about, of course the emperor has clothes. Just look at color, the undisputed kings of vibe.
Fair, I guess I was not sure if it was just blocking the port, or doing something to directly block the protocols as well.
So because there were violent historic events (half of which were perpetuated colonizers/invading forces) in a region destabilized by colonization/imperialism, that means Israel has the right to genocide the Palestinians living there?
If you can find a ham radio fest or swap meet near you, it's possible to find a lot of different components and equipment cheap, though sometimes in less than ideal condition. Look for surplus departments at local colleges, labs, companies, etc. too. Find out where e-waste goes, and whether you can salvage from it before it gets hauled away. Lots of stuff likely gets thrown out that either still works, can be fixed, or can be used for parts. Downside is you have to plan projects around what you found instead of just buying parts after picking a project.
I would have liked to know a bit more: How does it work and how many bits / second?
Two wrongs don't make a right. And Israel's settlement project has repeatedly been judged in violation of international law by numerous distinct international bodies, going back to 1979.

This is just not right, sorry.

VFR flying should be 90% done looking outside, with an occasional cross check of altitude and heading inside. I'm visual conditions, there is nothing your instruments can tell you that your eyes can't, except slight deviations in altitude and heading.

If you need your instruments to avoid hitting things, you are probably in instrument conditions.
Per the report, they've gone far beyond just banning calls for violence. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38750605

This is basically an argument for getting rid of laws and ruling by fiat, with a judicial process that amounts to repeating 'you know what you did' whether or not that is honest.
When random people are giving you protection from legal catastrophe, I think they have a right to transparency.
Particularly notable: due to the restrictions that Rust chooses to enforce on safe code, `unsafe` is forced in a lot of situations where other languages maintain full runtime safety. I'm not saying going full-Java is the only answer, but a language that is safer than Rust is certainly possible.

And you gave no reason why you think that.

If you wanted to be free of government requirements, you should have used a sole proprietorship.

I learned that from The Office :D
I did a lot of flight sims before getting my PPL about 15 years ago and I did not feel that the sim hurt my progress at all.

It did not help much either.

For me the first real flying was very overwhelming as so many things were happening and had to be taken into account. Luckily my instructor was good and took the load that I didn’t yet need to handle and then I gradually prioritized and got familiar.

As others have pointed out the feel of the plane is just not there in a sim.

I’d even say that things like trim I did not fully understand until in the plane, what a difference it makes and how much less tired you are after.
I used one years ago, and I think it was this one: https://travelingmailbox.com/

They have a bunch of addresses for you to pick from, and it works the same way for any other similar service, so check around and see if one has addresses that you like. The keyword is "mail forwarding service".

For US addresses, there's a form you have to sign and get notarized to authorize them to handle your mail, because USPS does not fuck around with people illegally handling someone's mail.
It’s not “flame war,” it’s a fact that is essential to understanding the politics of the situation. Arab countries that are happy to bomb the shit out of minorities in their own midst don’t keep trying to wipe Israel off the map because they cade deeply about Palestinian human rights. There is a strong nationalist and religious motivation. And without understanding that, you can’t have an educated opinion of what’s going on.

Check out this Reddit thread about a Bangladeshi American dating a Jewish guy, asking what to do about Bangladeshis who support Hitler: https://www.reddit.com/r/bangladesh/comments/17eqywa/how_can...

And check out the first response:

> I just say Hitler is indirectly responsible for the creation of Israel. If he didn't try to kill them all then Jewish people wouldn't have cared that much about founding an independent Israel. This might force them to think a bit differently and change their view about him.

Sure, it’s just one anecdote. But it’s hard to convey to someone who doesn’t have a Muslim family how pervasive anti-semitism is. My favorite aunt, who is the sweetest person, will randomly lower her voice and blame things on “the Jews” (she pronounces it like “juice”). And I’m from a liberal, upper class family where all the women went to college.
