Did you look at the parts and content, or just leap to this assumption? My first couple days with Fusion had similar outcomes, and this is totally credible. There are extremely tal…

Since you are also going for your A&P, would love to hear your assessment of build-assist planes and modern rotax powerplants!

And a lot of the pilot deaths are not because of in-the-moment skill deficiencies. Stick and rudder skills aren't that useful with fuel exhaustion and bad weather planning. It's mu…

I am building an app that is for a niche market, and I wouldn't have started without LLMs. The hard part of this app is great design, requiring intentionally designed workflows and…

This is a timely observation and feels right to me. I needed to get a relatively simple batch download -> transform -> api endpoint stood up. I wrote a fairly detailed prompt but l…

Or try the other side of the spectrum and pick up tai chi. I started practicing almost 15 years ago (grudgingly) and it's surprisingly great! Happy to help find a place that fits. …

Malcolm Gladwell's description of that accident and amplification is simplistic and not very accurate. There were many errors made that caused that accident, including ATC failing …

Merely for the viability part: I use the $20/mo plan now, but only as a part-time independent dev. I will hit rate-limits with Opus on any moderately complex app. If I am on a roll…

In a modern car, or if you adequately rev match, the clutch wear is extremely small. Only if you are aggressively down shifting will that be a problem. It’s also only wear at that …

I would expect them to do the bulk of their training flights out of airports with minimal congestion and lower landing fees. They don’t have to be trained in class B airspace to ge…

Landing fees already have this built into the structure, along with waived fees for fuel purchases, etc. It probably is reasonable to look at occupancy percentage along with engine…

You'd have to change more regulations, because airports don't close when ATC closes, it regresses to an untowered airport environment (and related airspace designation). ATC is the…

As a counter-point (and I know nothing about Gitlab), but GitHub and Shopify are both prominent Rails apps with pretty good security records. GitHub wrote about it last year: https…

I'm pretty sure they do, though. Lucid owns Atieva, the company supplying the batteries for Formula E. What they've learned through the many seasons directly goes back into the veh…

There has been so much research on this, and this article seems to ignore much of it. The book Accelerate is a good start.

All that is true, but it’s also getting better. And 16mpg over shorter routes (a 100nm flight vs 200 mile drive is not unusual) makes it harder to compare apples to oranges. We don…

Take a look at the more economical modern GA aircraft. A Cirrus SR22 can run at 10 gallons per hour, with a ground speed of 160+ mph. Yes, it’s more total fuel consumption than a c…

I didn't genuinely enjoy parenting until my kids were all above 6, and it was gradual. My kids are 16 and 14 now, and at the start of their summer break I left a job I really liked…

I’ve been at Stripe for 4 years, joined as an IC then shortly transitioned to an EM. Previously was an EM, and remote for 12 years total. Noticeable differences: - While I’m remote…

Is there a method for HN to get beta access?

I currently have 12 direct reports, approximately 50/50 split between remote and HQ engineers. Onboarding: I create onboarding documents for every incoming engineer broken down by …

Here is an example listing from a user, which is better than our own: http://donedid.io/organizations/newscron.com

Personal favorite is listening to Jerry Colonna on This Week in Startups. He talks of trials and tribulations of the startup life, acknowledging the often hidden fact that we're al…

What is the strategy for when Apple disallows sales based on the Magsafe adapter? This happened to HyperMac (now HyperJuice) batteries back in 2011. I still have mine, ordered befo…
