Morbid thought of the evening: If there is a meaningful broader downturn I wonder if they'll benefit from people losing stable housing and turning to ABNB for itinerant shelter.

Most of my trips in small planes are pretty point to point. The airports I've used have been between 1 and 5 miles from my house and most of my destinations were similarly close (I just checked one destination and it was 200 meters). N

Some of the LSAs I've flown are not actually that bad pollution/climate wise. Slightly less green per mile than my mini cooper, way more green than basically any common American pickup truck.

As much as I am excited about Airhart, I would be way more excited for all of these items than I would be for the fly by wire bit. These would be more likely keep me and my wallet in one piece and lower the cost of aviation. Unfortunately t

Look up the Vashon Ranger, the Kitfox, and the Foxbat. You really cannot stall them by accident and they're conventional layouts. The Ranger/Foxes will just nosedown if you even manage to get them into a stall. We could also bring

I've found my GA flying to really be about trips that you _wouldn't have made otherwise_, but the biggest barrier is cost. I've done little adventure trips with my wife that were super fun and without a PPL we wouldn't h

Always happy to see new GA aircraft, and the tech here looks very cool. The emergency autoland and chute will definitely be lifesavers. If your system can reliably prevent base-final stall spins then that would clearly be awesome. One thing

Writing assistant for your second language(s). Right now it’s a web/mobile app but we’re getting ready to launch our browser extension so hopefully that will be more convenient for our users. https://nativi.sh Also since th

I am using Timescale at work and I like them a lot. If your data is nicely structured it's a breeze. But my data is kind of pathological (source can just change the structure and I gotta put up with it), so I'd honestly use Influx

Worked on a billionaires yacht when I was a kid. It always had to be stocked in case they showed up but they hardly ever did. So we had to eat all the lobster and steak before it went bad, and the owner’s chef made the meals for practice an

They also tried to kill the CEO of Rheinmetall. The GRU in particular (but also the FSB) occasionally just goes and does some crazy shit.

There was a drone that had a new return home failsafe mechanism (for when there's low battery or some fault etc). Unfortunately it was possible to misconfigure it so that home was not set and the failsafe was still armed. This led to s

Making sane DB indices and constraints. It's amazing how often people just don't add indices even when the access pattern is clear from the outset. "Premature optimization is the root of all evil!" ok, so when are we act

I wonder if the harsh post impact environment selected for small, short lived creatures due to the lower caloric energy requirements, and faster genetic iteration speed respectively. If your environment is particularly hostile with low reso

I think the type signatures are really helpful in this regard. It makes it really easy to tell what’s happening and if I have to worry about mutations. Writing the signatures can become a pain because you have to think everything through

No idea how it is for new grads. I hear it’s bad but also you only need one job, so I wouldn’t stress too much. Developing some domain expertise in the business that you want to work in can be a pretty important differentiator.

What worked for me was counterintuitively not applying to a ton of places, but focusing on places I'd really want to work and then reaching out directly to relevant team leads. It might feel like you're wasting effort since it&#x2

I got laid off last year, it was pretty rough. Took a couple months to work on some projects and my wedding which was nice. But then it took about 3-4 months of intensive job hunting. Tons of ghosting companies, lowball offers, etc. Maybe i

Linear is pretty great. They have a lot of more advanced features but the core interface is nice and clean. I like their project view with a nice graph of completed/remaining that gives a nice sense of whether the scope is still expand

Maybe? I don't use Wechat. But I think it's a good model if it is, though it would be nice if it were an open standard so it wasn't stuck in one app's ecosystem.

This might be a weird one but if you already know rust loco-rs is pretty great. I've been using it on a nights/weekends project. It's axum + some rails-esque QOL features. Because it's rust the time to make a given featu

The issue is that this could prevent even opening up the discussion of whether a transaction was a bribe if the former president can claim it was an official act. Nixon was never prosecuted because he was pardoned so the official acts stuff

Basalt on the ocean floor records the magnetic field of the earth from when it cooled. Since it radiates out from midoceanic rifts and the rate of its creation is known, we can use it as a diary of the magnetic field. Iirc we first figured

I did a remote calc class and nerd sniped myself into learning latex via using overleaf to do homework instead of taking photos of handwritten stuff. 10/10, would self nerdsnipe again.

Not quite web dev but I've always thought there might be room for a browseresque class of software for mobile apart from the literal browser. Instead of every mom and pop shop having basically similar apps that everyone feels resentful

> 10 years ago, code was on average relatively clean and easy to understand We have very different memories of 10 years ago. I just remember peak OOP cargo culting with 10 layers of inheritance and searching `Factory` would OOM your IDE.

So for context our app ( https://nativi.sh ) is a language correction app. It takes in text and cleans it up to make it sound more fluent/correct, it's basically geared towards being grammarly for your second language. F
