For Meta's Quest headsets, third party manufacturers sell solid "halo" head straps, which are much more comfortable by distributing the weight mostly on top of the head instead of just pressing the headset to the face. Basically imitations of Sony's PlayStation VR.

The top manufacturer is BoboVR, but they obviously haven't yet made one for the Vision Pro.

I don't get why Meta and Apple don't include this as the default, given that it's obviously the optimal solution. Then again, at least Apple even used a heavy and unnecessary metal frame in the headset, so ergonomics clearly isn't their top priority.
I’d actually say it’s the safety culture that’s missing. Go have a phone call with someone at Shell and they’ll ask you if you’re in a safe place to have a call and if you know where the emergency exits are before starting the call. And the safety culture comes from the top regardless of if you’re an engineer or lawyer, or finance exec.
Are you talking about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comair_Flight_5191 in 2006?

Note that this was a Bombardier plane, not a Boeing, and it was the pilot taking the wrong runway, not a plane issue.

(Whether to count it as "aboard a major airline" is a semantic question that isn't very interesting.)
That happens in 2014 when Ukraine lost Crimea. They accepted it and lived on. There is zero safety guarantees for them.
>I guess it was a matter of time before this occurred. How long before scammers do bulk video calls to parents/grandparent pretending to be the kids saying they are in trouble and need $$$ ASAP.

Umm where have you been the last decade? The "Grandma help me I'm in a foreign prison and need you to buy iTunes gift cards" scam is extremely lucrative.
Yep, just look at aristocracy over the ages, and in different societies.
I accidentally stumbled upon a feature in YouTube that's killed my binging altogether.

Turn YouTube Watch History off (Google Account > Data & Privacy > YouTube History). I mostly did it cuz I didn't want Google to have a history of all my YouTube videos, but the accidental effect is that when I go to youtube, I literally have a blank screen (no suggested videos) and instead it just says "turn search history back on"

This means that I have to actually search for a particular topic to start watching about it, and most times when I'd be consuming more, I don't have the mental capacity to pick a topic I care about.

The one hitch is that if you subscribe to channels, you'll still see all those videos, but those update very infrequently and you don't see a bunch of nonsense you don't have to watch.
Yeah, was surprised to find out that that shithole was actually founded and lead by Jimmy Wales and not some random unrelated parasite.
> It is pretty much standard on modern phones

Only at a high end. Take a random midrange Oppo, Xiaomi, Huawei, Samsung until a few gens ago and they're not waterproof.
It's not, but it does mean you have to deal with calling the bank and reversing transactions, and waiting for a new card to come in the mail, etc.
I wonder how that will change over time. I’m pretty sure my generation would default to burning cognitive excess on video games. It isn’t the most damaging hobby!
That's one of those numbers people throw around without understanding what it means. The vast majority of new car warranty issues are things like "I don't understand bluetooth" and "You have to actually read the manual?".
It is absolutely no excuse for these issues. At the same time, not flying on Boeing planes out of fear of safety is completely irrational.
This comment is puzzling to me on several levels, but I'll just go to the centre of the topic. Do you feel that something needs to be addressed about the way LoganDark disclaimed that they were biased on account of their neurodivergency?
Everything being a DSL is the worst part for me. Given Ruby's lack of static typing, every task becomes "how does this specific DSL work again...?". And when there's a problem it can be non-obvious how to figure out what you did wrong. That said, once you learn the DSL I can totally see how it makes you ultra-productive.

I've been playing around with Ktor lately, and while a lot of it still depends on DSL's, it feels less magical and more like regular code, and I can easily step into the types/source of each DSL.

Muilenburg was an aerospace engineer by training, that is how he ended up at Boeing. To be fair, though it sounds like he was on the management track early on, so not sure how much engineering he did after graduation.

Sounds very similar to Sally Ride. Many people who worked with her had complaints about her level of professionalism and behavior. Many believe she was chosen to be the first because her name went well with PR. And this was not a sexism thing - many of the people with legitimate complaints spoke highly of other female astronauts, like Judy Resnik (and history does not cover the other 5 like it does Sally Ride).

I'd add that Americans are characteristically allergic to capital investments which has a lot to do with why we can't have nice things.

(For instance, when there was the scandal over card skimmers, Canadian gas stations upgraded their pumps to use chip cards about two years before US gas stations.)

Airlines in third world countries are a major buyer of the latest planes whereas American airlines (particularly Delta) are famous for having excellent maintenance operations to keep 20 year old planes in the air.
> A couple days later, I got a call from my credit union.

People still answer phone calls like this? I've never trusted incoming calls if not a personal contact. If it's your bank you can call them back.

That person calling you, knocking on your front door, sending you an email or DM? At best it's someone trying to sell you something but likely someone trying to scam you.

There is no upside and lots of potential downside for trusting an inbound request of any kind.
> OTOH if you don't have that in common with other people, you just talk about other things.

What, you mean like babies and mortgages and bills and restaurants and health problems and gossip? I mean I can enjoy talking about those as well to an extent, but at times I like to change it up a bit.

For a lot of people I know, that's all I really have in common with them, besides geek shit. There was like a solid 45 minutes of me sitting quietly at a New Year's Eve party recently, because everyone else started going into all the Marvel and Star Wars TV shows they watched, of which I've mostly skipped (except Loki and a couple seasons of Mandalorian).

For the people who don't even have interests in geek shit, it seems like they're often very limited to the other topics above (or the other topics plus sports if they're into those). At least the people I've encountered.

It's not like I don't have other interests. I have a lot of creative interests, like making games, and writing, and (very amateur) photography, and music. But a lot of adults don't bother with that stuff (or don't bother anymore, at least), and mostly just consume the creative output of others.

The stereotypical American that is unaware there is a world outside their borders seems to actually exist :)
In a lot of cases I'd argue getting rid of the thing costs you more than you'd gain but in your case a year long retreat might help a lot. It sounds like your phone (and the services running on it) is literally siphoning away your life, maybe getting rid if your home internet connection (gasp!) should be part of the consideration.

Show HN: An opinionated build toolchain for TS projects
An opinionated build toolchain to help accomplish the most common build tasks. Each pkg-tool does the following.

- Wraps the modern best-of-breed tool for the task
- Is usable as a CLI or programmatically
- Is configured via a single typed configuration file (pkg.config.ts)

Happy hacking!

That's the part I don't get. I like the concept overall but I don't see the point of having high end specs. Like it has a 13MP camera for example. How do you view color HD pics or video on an e-ink screen?

It's a shame Sharps MIP-LCDs haven't been scaled up to phone or tablet sizes, those could be a nice balance with almost the power efficiency and comfort of e-ink but with fast enough response times to keep up with animation and smooth scrolling UIs. That's the screen technology the Pebble smartwatches used, and the Playdate console more recently.
The other thing is, the Parliament is not the only democratic institution, even if it is the only directly elected one.

The Council consists of democratically elected heads of democratic governments, similar to the way each state in the US elects its senators.

The Commission consists of Commissioners that are appointed by democratically elected governments. It's one step removed, just like the US presidency is through the electoral college.

Every single institution is democratically legitimized one way or another.

One thing that people tend to not expect for these e-ink smartphones is that their battery life, while good compared to normal phones, is nowhere near the "expected" battery life for an e-ink e-reader. This phone for example has a battery that lasts ~3-4 days, while a normal e-reader can last weeks.
Not that I would know first-hand, but several other videos of the AVP in action look the same.
I went through your profile and I just want to say, that idea of gamifying mental health with virtual pets (ants!) sounds super interesting! All the best!
Like I said, I wasn't sure of their requirements. I can say QuickJS is orders of magnitude easier to embed and understand than V8, which is why I adopted it for my use case.
In developed countries IP means submitting patents and real research which build the company's position on the market. That's why they have strong companies and brands. The Polish "IP box" is creating and submitting PDFs with git diffs of Java and TypeScript written for these companies. Just remember to remove passwords and secrets from them, guys.
Like anything else, not all operators are equal. I probably wouldn't want to try my luck as an Amtrak frequent traveler.
Both this issue and issue with the door bolts were caused by Spirit, who Boeing outsourced the production of fuselages to. There's lots of info on the quality troubles with them going back years.

For example here is an article from May of last year [1] about a quality issue with Spirit that had been going on for 4 years. Here [2] is one from last October which says "The goal of the agreement is to stabilize Spirit’s production system, by stemming the flow of quality defects that have afflicted the 737 MAX and the 787 Dreamliner jet programs this year and positioning Spirit to ramp up to Boeing’s planned rate increases." The agreement was Spirit running out of cash and Boeing swooping in to save them despite their poor quality, because they were the only supplier for these fuselages. The financial times wrote a good article about it [3].

This is absolutely a story of outsourcing gone wrong. But they didn't outsource it to China or Mexico, they outsourced it to Kansas, USA.

He didn't mention sensitivity panels, but I've read they are controversial and many think that they are misleading.

Regarding what my doctor told me, I was seeing him for gut issues, and he put me on Boswellia extract (just for one bottle worth) for inflammation, guar gum starting at 1/4 tsp then graduating up to 1 tsp, and eating a lot of red fruits and vegetables throughout the day, e.g. beets/beet greens, red cabbage, pomegranates, cranberries etc.
with data privacy decisions I like to think about how the policy/reasoning would sound in a NYT headline or congress testimony. your stance does not imbue trust for me.

0 employment contracts or user facing ToS I've read make a distinction between sharing schema vs data with unvetted third parties. In my opinion, schemas reveal pretty valuable info about an application (and they're absolutely valuable in aggregate because you can use them to train AI data scientists).

Maybe I sound like a curmudgeon but since I have the option of running the AI locally with a 5 percentage point accuracy loss, I absolutely will. If GPT-4 was 100% that would be different because you could build totally different things, but 83% has most of the same design problems as 78%.
Thank you! :D I appreciate the kind words.
This is inspirational. Over the last decade or so, I've been increasingly thinking that I need to leave the industry for many reasons that can be summed up as "the software industry has become more harmful than beneficial."

Maybe it's past time for me to get serious about leaving it. The main stumbling block is that this is the only marketable skill I have.
Universal health care, daycare and public college, along with jettisoning all this RTO bullshit into the sun would do a lot to increase incentives for people to have families in this country (US). Given our start-your-worklife-massively-in-debt, 80-hour-workweek, slave-at-the-office-till-you-die mentality, don't be surprised if more and more people don't have kids.

Kremlin will just use those attacks as an excuse to occupy larger parts of Ukraine. Bombing of Belgorod is now used as an excuse to create "demilitarized zone" that includes Kharkiv (second largest city in Ukraine). I guess another "demilitarized zone" will follow in Odessa, after some attack on Crimea.
That's an interesting point. Is this because of the modem and always-on background tasks / push notifications?

Yeah. Is turning your head more taxing than an app switch? Yes. That’s my experience. Moving your eyes 20-30 degrees is less taxing than app switching.

Deno has built-in support for TypeScript.

Deno has members in Ecma TC39, so they take part in the development and standardization of JS.

Deno brings a new mentality to development focused on simplifying things, whereas Bun aims to be an improved Node.

Deno aligns with web APIs: you can use the same APIs in the browser and in Deno. Many packages work in both platforms. Deno is even in the compatibility tables in MDN.

Deno simplifies DX greatly. It's very easy to work with Deno. Easy to install things and set up a project, easy to deploy, no config files etc.

Deno is written in Rust, which allows them to move faster and more safely. Contributing to and extending Deno is a breeze. You can add Rust crates to the runtime and use them from JS.

I feel like the Bun team has been too pressured by executives and marketing. They announced 1.0 when Bun was clearly not stable enough, giving lots of segfaults. Even their readme had a huge statement right in the beginning saying that Bun was not production ready yet, despite 1.0 being hyped all over the place.
I bookmarked this post, thanks! Really interesting.
Muilenburg was an engineer who worked his way up to CEO at Boeing. He totally mishandled the 737 Max crisis.

Meanwhile, Airbus had an engineer CEO who nearly bankrupted the firm with the A380 project.

I think trying to put management into buckets doesn't work very well. Some engineer CEOs have bad product sense and some sales CEOs have great product sense. I mean, Steve Jobs for crying out loud.
Nope, this a screen recording of the Vision Pro's passthrough. High quality video with rocksteady tracking to keep the windows perfectly in place! That same channel has a couple other videos with him using the AVP as well.

Fear of eviction & a broken anhedonic treadmill. Coming up to 20 years of that, there's a lot of damage to fix, frankly.
Reality checks & costs for Hertz issuing trendy "we're buying a zillion EVs!" press releases only amounted to "imagine finding some spare change in the couch".

Vs. actually buying and operating those vehicles...oops!
its absolutely fixable. the issue is ideology and habit, expectation. rigid. difficult to change.

look how much disagreement im getting for even suggesting someone should be spending less than 10k a month on 4 kids. These are resistant responses from people who dont even exhibit the behaviour.
You’re right, the goals were in a stupid place to begin with. I see no honest reason in the scope of this discussion to make this distinction. The regionals expand the network of the majors, it’s not like they overlap. People buy and use these services just like the major airlines.
The distinction is interesting in the context of comparing the relative safety of the regionals but in a discussion about general airline passenger safety it is disingenuous.
Thankfully, the telematics module is separate on most vehicles. You can pull the power from the module with no consequences on most vehicles. If you don't like what happens when you remove power from that module, plug it back in. On some cars you may have to start the car up to 6 times before any errors show up (if at all). This is because some cars only do a full scan of the vehicle bus every so many starts.
You could setup a wireguard server at home. An overlay network like tailscale or nebula is another option.
I have "me at home" and "me at work" accounts, I don't generally create a new at-work account for each job. Maybe I should.

I've been trying to do more hobbyist work in public repos. It's not like there's a Greek chorus waiting to pounce on every mistake. Truth is, nobody cares.

It's freeing, in a way, because "I'll publish it when it's done" actually means "I'll never publish it at all".
I generally call bullshit on coaches, but with that sort of experience you may be one of the few who can actually advise.

I always find it extremely difficult to believe a 20 or 30-something can provide meaningful coaching advice, most of it is going to end up being a combination of theory (what they think) and things they've read (their interpretation of others experience).

No, its done by the airline or a contractor.
I could not find any pricing options on your website.

In order to find how much your service would cost, i needed to create an account and also download the app.

You also did not specify which features would be locked behind a paywall.

Can you be more transparent about this? I like to know what i'm getting myself into before i start using a product.
They're saying that in certain circumstances, if your API exposes the PK publicly, it may leak information you don't want leaked (the precise datetime something occurred, in the case of UUIDv7).

If that's an issue for you, you can get around this in a variety of ways, as they mention: you could use an associative table that maps the externally-exposed random ID to an internal-only ID.
Because airlines and pilots operating within the U.S. are subject to significantly more safety restrictions and regulations than much of the rest of the world.

Put simply, pilots are required to undergo more training, observe best practices in CRM, and have strict requirements on how much rest is required between flights. Planes are better maintained and inspected.

I’m sure there are other countries that do a good job here, but in general America is significantly more strict about these things than much of the rest of the world.
