It's specifically an ESG firm, not just any random business.

You mean like UConn Stamford? Deepki was created in 2015. Deepkit was created in 2018. Deepki is an ESG company that has nothing to do with Typescript server frameworks (i.e. Deepkit). There's no confusion when searching the names, and

Right if a company wanted their trademark of “Deepki” to coexist with this trademark of “Deepkit” then that is perfectly reasonable, and OP just experienced FAFO for trying to extort them.

If I consume a good or service then I’m a consumer, whether I had to pay for that good/service or not. As a consumer, it is in my interest that I can look up the name of the good or service and not have confusion as to which good/

No, what still matters (when explaining why the wing is shaped the way it is) is how the low pressure is created. In this case it's being pulled down by the top of the wing.
126.
by ummonk 1y ago
Exactly. The speed phenomenon (airflow speeding up due to getting sucked into the lower pressure space above the wing) is certainly there, but it's happening because the wing is shaped to deflect air downwards.

Reflex cambered airfoils generate lift because most of the wing is still pointed downwards. The crucial thing you need to explain is this: why doesn't extending leading edge droop flaps increase the lift at a pre-stall angle of attack?
128.
by ummonk 1y ago
I stated "has its trailing edge at the same angle", not "is at the same angle of attack". Angle of attack is defined by the angle of the chord line, not the angle of the trailing edge. Cambered airfoils have their traili

How is the Kutta condition ("the fluid gets deflected downwards because the back of the wing is sharp and pointing downwards") less intuitive to someone without a physics background than wrongly invoking the Bernoulli principle?
131.
by ummonk 1y ago
The Kutta condition is insufficient to describe lift in all regimes (e.g. when the trailing edge of the wing isn't that sharp), but fundamentally you do need to fall back to certain 2nd law / boundary condition rules to describe w

The bottom line is that a curved airfoil will not generate any more lift than a non-curved airfoil (pre-stall) that has its trailing edge at the same angle. The function of the curvature is to improve the wing's ability to avoid stall

Interesting how accurately it has preserved some early Germanic forms verbatim. Wonder if Finnish has been relatively conservative in the same way that nearby Lithuanian is a relatively conservative Indo-European language.

Sure instead of calling them stupid I’ll just tell them they’re addicted to toxic media and we need to regulate the media for their own good because of their inability to resist it.

Do you have any examples of a store owner being convicted for shooting an armed robber? Because I can show examples of store clerks being executed despite fully complying with the armed robbers.

Okay now you’re being hyperbolic in the other direction. There are plenty of incidents of minor arguments / road rage turning deadly because someone legally carrying decided to draw and use their firearm when there wasn’t any imminent

Many pistols don't. It does lead to a higher risk of accidental discharges (that's how we got the term "glock leg"). That's also the argument that Sig made - that every unintended discharge was due to user error. Th

There is a lot of accidental discharge happening when people holster their pistol improperly and the trigger snags on something or they inadvertently press the trigger while grabbing it. However, I’ve seen at least one footage of a Sig 320

I’m a little confused reading this. Is MIR short for “machine intermediate representation” instead of “medium intermediate representation”? I generally expect IRs to be relatively platform-independent but it sounds like the “MIR” here is cl

If a survey asked people what gender they identified as, you think it constitutes "fixes" to go back and label that data as "Sex"?

For whatever reason, the Egypt Air 990 pilot initiated his murder-suicide by pulling the thrust to idle and then flipping the fuel cutoff switches.
147.
by ummonk 1y ago
You have to pull the switches out (against a spring) to be able to move them over a notch and flip them. Not really something you can just mistake for another switch or bump into by accident. I'd liken it to turning off the ignition by

by ummonk 1y ago
Yeah and the other pilot flipped the switches back on and one of the engines started spooling up but it was too late. Murder-suicide looks like the likely conclusion, given that flipping the cutoff switches requires a very deliberate action

Devil's advocate: it's also possible the one developer hasn't become more productive with Cursor, but rather has atrophied their non-AI productivity due to becoming reliant on Cursor.
