A little more on this topic. No teenager with ADHD will be interested in doing the work I've described above. If his parents aren't interested in it either, your ability to help will be severely limited.

One way to help him to do this work will be to get him out of his intellectual comfort zone. Encourage him to take on tough but fun projects (building big models, electronics kits, doing NAND to Tetris, etc) that will require foresight and planning. Make yourself available if he gets stuck, so that you can help explain that hard problems are only hard if you lack the mental framework required to parse and subdivide and organize them into simpler sub-tasks. If you can get him to sit back and think about how to solve hard problems, you'll be giving him a transferable skill which will be integral to working through life with ADHD and minimizing its impact--and you can do it without actually broaching the topic.
ATC can cause crashes by vectoring planes at the same altitude.

But the tower at an airport, their job is to supply information, and once you call mayday you’re in total control - you can ask them to do whatever you think will help you save the flight, including (and usually automatically done) diverting all other flights, clearing all runways, and cancelling any departures pending until the issue is resolved.

Pilots have to be trained to ignore ATC as necessary, because planes have crashed because of trying to be polite to requests (and not declaring mayday or pan pan).

People who work at heights usually have just enough fear of heights to not do something stupid. Those with no fear of heights tend to make fatal mistakes.

"International airport" means very little outside of large nations like the US, Russia, Canada, Brazil or China.

In the U. S., at least, "international" just means there's a customs station. There are some pretty small airports that have "international" in the name. Fairbanks, Alaska, comes to mind.
According to the timeline I saw they were cleared before declaring an emergency. This means at the time of emergency the standard checklist required their gear had been locked and flaps set. Either they were not operating within regulation before they declared emergency, or they raised gear and retracted flaps below 900 AGL and decided to make an impossible turn instead of stabilizing their flight.

I don't know what happened in this event, but the concrete box is painfully uninteresting compared to basically anything that happened before it.

Depends on why it was NOTAM’d - could be that the localizer was out, that there was a noise abatement, or other reasons.

Part of preflight is investigating those so you know what are options at what are not - entirely closed runways will be indicated if they’re actually broken up or just marked closed.

I think that this is a poor strategy in general if you actually want to "solve" online dating. From the women's perspective, men who are willing to spend money for a dating app are probably not more desirable than average, unless you raise the price so high (probably around $1k) it becomes a meaningful proxy for wealth, and even then that's a narrow market that is already saturated. The buzz about dating apps on male-dominated websites is that the experience for men there is bad (because few women), but a textbook microeconomic analysis insists that the experience must be worse for women, because otherwise they would use the app! The app UX is mostly a function of the opposite-gender userbase, so your options are constrained: you might restrict the pool of men by charging, but you consequently make the app less interesting to women, which foils your attempt to balance the gender ratio.

I could ramble further about how I think this happens and what to do about it, but there is one caveat: I have never — hopefully will never — used any dating apps. I rely entirely on what I've read from other people and my own limited understanding of economics and psychology.
I for sure understand what you mean but is there any excuse Tim could make that would be “acceptable”? We all know why he made tbe donation and any excuse we know is a lie. perhaps a better lie would have been “better” but nonetheless in the end a lie is a lie
The OP knows this already.

What they were saying is that just because other airports feature runways situated next to natural obstacles and this is allowed and equally dangerous, it doesn't mean this airport needed to have this particular, deliberately designed and implemented obstacle next to the runway.

The reason for the concrete-reinforced berm was typhoon resilience. It begs the question whether there are alternative designs that are trade of requirements better.
is it really "inceldom" to not want an app to literally rig my matches to not be the best matches until I put X time into it?

Look into some of the dark patterns used today compared to 2010 before making an assumption on people wanting an "ethical dating app". Especially in a community skewed on tech.

The universe can take our "strengths" back. I'd give anything to get rid of this disorder. The reality is that people can have strengths and great qualities despite ADHD and not because of ADHD.

I do appreciate the encouragement and reassurance of your message, but I do believe such talk only downplays the true severity of ADHD.

My main driver is EinkBro (on an e-ink tablet), which similarly doesn't seem to be brain-damaged in this regard.

<https://github.com/plateaukao/einkbro>

I do have Firefox (Fennic Fox F-Droid) installed on that tablet. The reading experience is so vastly inferior despite numerous capabilities of Firefox (most especially browser extensions) that it's not even funny. Mostly because scrolling on e-ink is a disaster.[1]

Chrome/Chromium of course is an absolute disaster.

EinkBro has incorporated ad-blocking, JS toggle, and cookie rejection, which meet most of my basic extension needs. The fact that it offers a paginated navigation (touch regions to scroll by a full screen) works far better with e-ink display characteristics.

I'll note that on desktop I also usually scroll by screen, though that's usually by tapping the spacebar.

--------------------------------

Notes:

1. The thought does occur that Firefox/Android might benefit by an extension (or set of same) which address e-ink display characteristics. Off the top of my head those would be:

- Paginated navigation. The ability to readily scroll by a full page, rather than touch-and-drag scrolling.

- High-contrast / greyscale optimisation. Tweaking page colours such that reading on e-ink is optimised. Generally that would be pure black/white for foreground/background, and a limited greyscale pallette for other elements. Halftone dithering of photographic images would also be generally preferable.

- An ability to absolutely freeze any animations and/or video unless specifically selected.

- Perhaps: an ability to automatically render pages in reader mode, with the above settings enabled.

- Other odds'n'sods, such as rejecting any autoplay (video, audio), though existing Firefox extensions probably address that.

I suspect that much of that is reasonably doable.

There is an "E-ink Viewable" extension which seems to detect and correct for dark-mode themes (exceedingly unreadable on tablets, somewhat ironically), though it omits other capabilities: <https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/e-ink-viewabl...>.

"Edge Touch Pager" addresses navigation: <https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/edge-touch-pa...>.

And there's a Reddit submission for improving e-ink experiences w/ Firefox generally, which touches on most of the items I'd mentioned above: <https://old.reddit.com/r/eink/comments/lkc0ea/tip_to_make_we...>.

Future me may find this useful....
The wall is a red herring. The plane landed halfway down the runway at high speed. Something bad is going to happen if you do that at any runway on earth. In SFO you'll end up in the bay or hit the terminal depending on the orientation. In Toronto you'll crash into a highway. Stop looking at the wall and look at the minutes before the crash.

you are missing “in the united states” at the end of the sentence :)
you're probably right, but I think this is a bit different. You're effectively selling a gender "badge" on your profile. Either (real) gender can purchase that badge, but if you want to be marked as "male", it costs $20. and if you want to be marked as "female", its $1.

People will want to be honest about their gender identity, because being marked as the wrong gender would get messages from the wrong gender.
Almost anything that is 500m causes an obstacle notice to exist. There are tons of them and most mean nothing unless you’re flying an overweight small plane in the dark desert heat.
You can specify the interface address to listen on, like "127.0.0.1:8080:8080" or "192.168.1.100:8080:8080". I have a lot of containers exposed like this but bind specifically to a vpn ip on the host so that they don't get exposed externally by default.
Physics and math have been together for a long time, they have high levels of cross-pollination.

Somehow, this was extended to computers too. The three of them are now cross-pollinating. It happens with other sciences too, but it seems it started earlier in physics and math.

In that sense, anyone with knowledge consisting of "a little bit of computer science plus one single other trade" likely represents the new baseline, not polymathy (similar to the previuous one "a little bit of math plus one single other trade").

So, if you want to be a CS polymath, you'd have to know what CS will look like when all this cross pollination settles down. I think it will look very different from what it is now, it is such a new science. Impactful, but very new.

Even biology had this cross-pollination thing. Lots of fields took evolution ideas, some in very dangerous ways. This influence survives to this day (neural networks, evolutionary algorithms, etc), but it is more like a cargo cult than real intersection. It resembles more biology from the past than what biologists think today.

Polymaths right now are probably working in the fields with less computers, trying to fill that gap. In the cross-pollination analogy, they're the first to waggle dance.

In that sense, I see a history+biology polymath more rare and special than a cs+math polymath, for example. They probably have a more unique and singular perspective on science than the more estabilished swarm of existing cs+math polymaths.

Think about how wanky the entire IT experience really is: from phone to laptop to desktop. No one really knows what is going on: a user keeps poking at widgets until it does something.

> Commercial CGM devices have certain drawbacks in diabetic measurement during daily activities such as food intake, sleeping, exercise and driving. The drawbacks are continuous radiations from devices

So they think a drawback of CGM is the (Bluetooth) radiation, and their alternative is to zap the pancreas with, um, magic dielectric radiation? Or magic radiation that results in “dielectric” backscatter?

I do find myself wondering whether a watch- or patch-sized object could get a usable NMR signal from glucose. Maybe a neodymium magnet and a very carefully shaped probe antenna to compensate for the horribly nonuniform magnetic field? Maybe an AC field with no permanent magnet at all? I found a reference suggesting that measuring glucose in blood outside the body by 1T NMR is doable but marginal, so this may be a lost cause.

Hacker News lacks a few distinguishing features that are characteristic of modern corporate social media: in particular, algorithmically driven feeds based on engagement metrics optimized for an advertising business model. The closest you get to that on here is the main page featuring YC companies from time to time (which is a far cry from a Tik Tok rabbit hole).

That being said, voting mechanisms which change the order of user-contributed content is hallmark of social media shared by Hacker News. I like to think, though, that this place has a strong enough community to prevent the voting dynamics from devolving to what you see on the most politicized subreddits. (I'll mention that the quality on here is in no small part the result of dang's diligent moderation, btw!)

An interesting message board to compare Hacker News with in this regard is actually 4chan. The former is maybe less social media like inasmuch as we have no inline images here, so there is no room for the sort of meme culture you see on the latter. On the other hand, 4chan is entirely bereft of voting (and even accounts to assign karma to, although reusable tripcodes come the closest), and as such is in some ways even more egalitarian (in contrast to non-anonymous social media).
Show HN: LogLayer – Unified logger that routes logs to various logging libraries
As a longtime TypeScript/Node.js developer, I've often faced challenges with logging—choosing, using, and maintaining the right logger for various projects. While most loggers offer the usual methods like "info", "warn", and "error", they vary significantly in how they handle structured metadata or Error objects. This can lead to ad-hoc solutions, like serializing errors or writing custom pipelines, just to get logs formatted correctly.

I built LogLayer to address these pain points by introducing a fluid, expressive API. With methods like "withMetadata" and "withError", LogLayer separates object injection from the log message itself, making your logging code both cleaner and more maintainable.

Logs are processed through a LogLayer Transport, which acts as an adapter for your preferred logging library. This design offers several key advantages:

- Multi-Transport Support: Send logs to multiple destinations (e.g., DataDog and New Relic) simultaneously. I've personally used this feature to ship logs directly to DataDog without relying on their APM package or sidecars.

- Easy Logger Swapping: If you’ve ever used Pino with Next.js, you might have encountered issues where it doesn’t work out of the box after a production build without webpack hacks. With LogLayer, you can swap in a better-suited library without touching your logging code.

I spent a good few months on and off and used my winter break to launch version 5 of LogLayer, and also created the documentation using Vitepress.

LogLayer has been battle-tested in production at Airtop (https://airtop.ai), where it’s been an integral part of our systems for years (we were running as Switchboard for almost four years and pivoted late last year).

(Disclaimer: I work at Airtop, but LogLayer is not sponsored / affiliated with them.)
If I remember correctly, all the documentation needed to implement a 5G radio approaches 10,000 pages. It’s not only insanely long and complicated but there’s a nasty path dependency with most of 4G which is why Intel and now Apple have such a hard time getting their radios to the finish line. Poaching a few Qualcomm or Broadcom employees with better salaries is one thing but without the cumulative expertise contained within the companies, it’s almost impossible to bootstrap a new radio.
I'm just beginning to learn about curl and wget. Can anyone recommend similar resources to this one that emphasize politeness?

"Worse" in the sense of providing less value to them, sure, but maybe women just don't want as much sex. And it's far from clear that having more men on the app increases its value to women (if anything it might be the opposite).
