I would say all of those things are indicative of the mentality that we're criticizing here. "If something isn't right, someone has to do something." The joke in aviation is that "…

+1 that emergency landing was pure badass.

To that point, I also co-founded an aviation charity org that does disaster relief. We randomly had a female volunteer show up and offer to assist us during the aftermath of hurric…

Pilot here (small / private airplanes, for about 15 years now, instrument rated but that's it). 1. "See and avoid" is BS, always has been, always will be. ADS-B was supposed to end…

In the same post where the author of this blog article says they "don't like getting notifications about activity in my repo, and instead prefer to 'work offline' and 'only check i…

> Being able to click a button and experience 0ms navigation is not something any customer has ever brought to my attention. "it's too slow" is a thing a lot of customers have ment…

Awesome. I modified a library card software (Blacklight) into a searchable PDF industrial manual system awhile back on a one-off basis. It couldn't go any further than a contract p…

In New Orleans they called it the "Katrina cough". People would just get sick from random things and die 6 months or a year after they'd survived the hurricane. Happened to one rel…

Let's not

The declining phase of all capitalist markets is arbitrary, random rent-seeking, when the technological innovation value has waned.

As the article mentions, I can tell you that there is a stark divide between people who flew airplanes / helicopters in the civilian world before 1990 and after 1990, when noise ca…

1. No, generally speaking corporate management in the 21st century does not make decisions based on effectiveness of their product or their workforce. They make decisions based on …

Thanks! I'm coming from the other side of the equation. I work for a (small-ish, niche) CRM company, and have insisted that all new customers be very explicitly told that they have…

This would seem to be a simple thing to find but all searches turn up are vague blog posts (symptom of general internet decline but... whatev). Anyone have something with numbers o…

Perhaps designing a society around profit motives was a poor decision.

I would think that after a couple of years of COVID people would have learned that hiding from culture isn't a solution to bad culture.

Maybe they can't log into Twitter anymore (Twitter's auth flow is entirely broken if you had SMS 2FA before the Musk takeover and pay-to-play. It won't let you log in with the only…

Indeed. I can deduce from that statement that Patreon probably allows content creators to post to the Vimeo upload API, but all of this is smells incredibly sketchy.

Patreon IS VERY MUCH subcontracting hosting, and quite nefariously at that. If Patreon is charging users for access to content, Patreon is obligated to serve it to those users , wh…

Thanks for the detail, as we know people exaggerate on social media and it wasn't clear from the few posts I could find about it whether this was an opt-in or not. The first post h…

It seems that unbeknownst to most of its users, since Patreon has allowed creators to post videos they have been dumping those videos on 'pro' level Vimeo accounts rather than host…

Shouldn't be surprising to hear that the FAA doesn't really do anything with this stuff. They appoint a corporate-filled board of avionics companies to do all of the work for them,…

All cell phone towers seem to be aimed toward the ground. I've flown a GA aircraft all around the lower 48, and only get a cell phone signal briefly when flying directly over a cel…
