From extensively researching the hpa-axis space my educated guess of what is going on:

At higher altitude you have higher levels of vitamin D, that in turn downregulates 21-Hydroxylase which means higher CRH is needed for the same levels of cortisol. The higher CRH means higher levels of Leptin, NPY, and Gastrin meaning less hunger and lower obesity rates.

This is presumably the same reasons why you gain weight all fall for winter/spring babies and lose it in the spring/summer. Just so happens at high altitudes you get more sun, more vitamin D.

Literally no one complaining about gradle being slow is doing that. Allmost all of gradle's problems come not from people using it, but from Gradle itself.

I mean, you said it yourself: in 15 years the state of their API docs is "okayish". But somehow people are still expected to make sense of this shit because apparently it's a plane? But planes famously have extensive documentation, and procedures, and decades of expertise available. Exactly unlike gradle.

I don't care what excuses you make, eighteen minutes to evacuate a burning aircraft is completely unacceptable. There is a reason why 90 seconds to evacuate, with half the doors blocked, dimmed lighting and obstructions, is the law. I find the comments by the cabin crew union disturbing, that they "appear to perform their jobs perfectly". Three minutes to open doors is more than twice the time it can take for the ENTIRE aircraft to burn!

In the event of a crash on land, you need to follow what the placards say - not the stewards, not the pilots, and certainly not your fellow passengers: look out the window for smoke, fire or other dangers, and if you do not see any then immediately open the door and evacuate.

It would be nice to be able to follow the cabin crew's instructions, but as the article notes, even the US government finds their decision-making to be "poor". I'm open to change my mind if I see strong evidence to the contrary, but otherwise this looks like yet another case of that.

I made a reply to another person that I think is fitting

"I don't think you understand what putting businesses in a blind trust would do. If somebody went to one of Trump's hotels it is not like he wouldn't be capable of knowing they went there. The person at the hotel could literally just call Trump from the hotel room phone and Trump could see the number and know they were at the hotel. They could also do a video call so Trump would know if they were staying at an expensive room"

Having a firewall would stop that right?

>Instead, Trump routinely steered the US govt and its guests to Trump businesses, and they were "coincidentally" charged extremely high rates -- essentially a bribe.

This is a different issue. If a blind trust held the hotels, I don't see how this would be stopped? It is not like Trump wouldn't get the money, he would just not have the records?

I think I missed this part in the article. Did they mention it?
I read a post without noticing it was written in 2013 and thought it was a great idea. It's sad that after 10 years, we have only managed to make the internet worse.

Highly unlikely given that the observation is relative to the roads in the immediate vicinity. This is very observable on flat off-ramps. the last ~200 feet before the stop at the end of the off ramp will get ruts within a year or two, but the rest of the off ramp is fine and the other side of the road where cars are accelerating is just fine.

> I am uncertain because the media largely buries the issues with EVs

I've read enough media to see the opposite. Tiny numbers of car fires are constantly getting exaggerated, meanwhile the steady stream of gas car fires get no discussion.

Even after the recall work was done, we had local surface lots that banned the Chevy Bolt. They didn't ban gas or diesel trucks with active recalls for car fires while parked. The differences in risk for a parking lot like that are negligible, but the constant barrage of media scare stories got to them.

As to fires, the data is interesting. They are less likely to catch fire overall. On average they are slightly more likely to catch fire while parked, but somewhat less likely to catch fire post collision.

Interestingly, the current data seems to imply lower overall risk of fires causing personal injury in an EV vs an ICE. Thankfully the odds of both are so low as to make the difference a rounding error.

Unusual Whales – Congressional Trading Report 2023
As others have noted these commercial services don't show every plane, the owners of planes may request to hide their planes there, that's why I asked how you can be sure.

Other sites like https://globe.adsbexchange.com or https://globe.adsb.fi don't filter aircrafts, they even show military planes (well, if they have ADS-B enabled). Though they don't have coverage above oceans, as satellite ads-b is expensive. (These sites look nearly the same, as they both use tar1090 as the webui, but they may have different coverage)

These sites, may sometimes have less coverage, as the sites you mentioned are way more popular. But if your area has coverage by these sites, you can be sure that you'll see every plane if it has ADS-B.

You could even replay, if you know the time and date when the plane passed, by appending ?replay to the URL.

e.g. https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?replay

I don't think that even with accessible tools there is going to be hundreds of times more users. At the end of the day, they are niche products with niche uses. The average random person isn't going out of their way to make accelerators or some kind of pipeline tool or circuit to do something random that couldn't just easily be achieved with a micro controller or Arduino.

Those that are willing to go out of their way to design a custom circuit or something else on an FPGA are in my opinion the type already dedicated enough or driven enough to not be deterred by crappy tools.

The work you do on FPGAs is already a filter enough so that I don't think anyone is getting passed that and then giving up because the tools suck.

"Reduce bugs" is kind of a loaded term anyway. Static typing doesn't reduce bugs in an absolute sense, but I think it does reduce bugs per unit of value delivered. That's a lot harder to measure in a formal study.

This is a very valid point. Recently I joined the EV bandwagon for an EV6 and I was super nervous about not being able to fill up at every corner. I've had it a month or so, and I haven't even installed a charger at home or work yet. I'm getting around to it, but it has not been a requirement.

There's a local DCFC that's really fast to 80%, and a fair amount of 5-7kw chargers that are SUPER cheap at places I go near.

I've learned to just live more slowly because of it and I'm ok with that. I drive slower and safer, I know when I need to charge might be a good time to take a walk or grocery shop or something, and I just kind of plan around that.

Heck, sometimes I sit there and read a book in peace and quiet. I can't speak for people who have kids; I might not want to deal with that, but as a married adult without kids I'm totally fine.
This is a great resource, thanks for collecting them.

A couple points on prospective new writers: while you don't need to be a great (or even good) software designer or programmer or coder to become a technical writer, it truly helps to get comfortable reading and interpreting code. Every minute of an engineer's time that you can save by understanding a feature from its implementation and asking better-informed questions makes you more valuable.

Also, while it's true that there are a lot of tech writing roles in marketing, don't limit to that if you're getting into the field from a different one. Tech writers show up in many contexts, from engineering-focused dev docs to UI/UX design docs to product docs to whitepapers to support knowledge bases. Experience with any of those can lead to more focused technical writing roles later. I've worked the same product documenting role organized under marketing, product, engineering, and support teams, and they all prioritize and value work differently — you might find yourself more compatible with one than the other even if the job req itself is effectively identical.

For undefined-sanitizer, you can implement your own at least. I did it here: https://github.com/fwsGonzo/barebones

Undefined-sanitizer also has a minimal-run-time mode designed to be able to run in production: https://clang.llvm.org/docs/UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer.html#...

As for ASan and MSan I think that will be quite a bit of work. I have worked in embedded a lot, and my advice here is to split off your project into static libraries, and make it so that you can run parts of it as a regular Linux program. I don't know if that's possible for you.

For example, when I was fuzzing a network stack, I would just use TAP devices to fuzz almost all of it, except the actual devices. So I partially compiled the operating system as a regular Linux program.
On Linux? Do you hate it on macOS as well?

I’ve used Macs for a number of years - and on macOS, mouse scroll events have been very “precise” for a long time - sending scroll events in fractions of a line. Scroll isn’t a button. It’s an axis. It feels great - because you have direct, continuous control.

I moved to Linux mint a couple years ago and tried to bring my Apple magic touchpad with me. (I prefer it over a mouse while coding.) Linux has APIs which return precise scroll offsets, but a lot of apps don’t use them. Instead, Firefox will wait until I’ve scrolled an entire line worth, then emulate a smooth scrolling event to “catch up” to the scrolling I’ve already done. It feels horrible. Mushy and laggy are the right words. IntelliJ has the same problem - I assume precise scroll events don’t survive whatever event library they’re using. I’ve given up and gone back to a mouse on Linux. And turned smooth scrolling off.

Smooth scrolling is a great idea - but for my money it’s only worth it if you have direct, continuous control over the scrolling position. And unfortunately on Linux (and probably windows) that’s held back by bad software support.
Is TCP + TLS still faster than QUIC, or do you mean TCP without encryption? (I'm assuming you're using Quinn with rustls, so encryption is always enabled.)

Having cruised on a carrier and known folks who deployed on land overseas, this is not unusual. Everything is contextual, and when you put some folks in the context of deployment, they decide the remedy for boredom is to work out a lot. Or their job requires it (infantry, hauling heavy things, etc). Other people don't have either of those, and just eat, do their jobs, and sit around.

I have noticed overall that the tendency seems to be for most folks to get trimmer, just because in general you're walking/moving around more and there's generally no alcohol available. Going up and down ladderwells to get everywhere burns calories even if you're not a gym rat.

Hello!

I wrote this game two years ago to fulfill a childhood dream of writing an invader-style game.

Previous discussions:

- Source code (single HTML page BTW): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30334667 - Feb 2022 (25 comments)

- The game itself: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34464865 - Jan 2023 (34 comments)

That was two years ago. Last year I added an auto-play algorithm to the game that moves the player automatically to avoid the falling boulders and hit the invader ships as accurately as possible. Recently I added direct-linking to the autoplay algorithm so that someone interested can see a demo of just the auto-player. This post is a direct link to the auto-play algorithm in action!

When compared to states, DC is almost always the highest or lowest regardless of what the metric is. There is no state with remotely close to the level of urbanization DC has so it's almost always an outlier.
Let me rephrase that.

One level deep information compression is cool, but I want actual AI.

Its true that our brains compress information, but we compress it in a much more complex manner, in the sense that we can not only recall stuff, but also execute a decision tree that often involves physical actions to find the answer we are looking for.
That's fair, but I guess my problem is that they don't even seem to try.

All rental agencies surely know what fleet they have - typically it's as uniform as possible, to make the maintenance easier. Yet, it's not exactly unusual to see that a particular location has a fleet of entirely different make than they had listed on the website. Or, e.g. I know a place that doesn't have "compact" cars (or have so few of them I've never seen one on the lot), and just automatically "upgrades" everyone to "mid-size" - no clue why, they're a good (aka not scammy or too blatantly overpriced) company otherwise.

My only guess is that no one complains or cares about it.
