- Politics (in focus) others already pointed out

- When sports do their major events has shifted in the last decades or so

- There's no longer a common TV culture.

That last point started more with Cable TV, but everyone still got 'over the air' so coverage on major TV networks usually provided a foundation of shared culture and events. It also provided major news summaries that most busy adults managed to see a bit of. As if any of us with jobs have time for that these days.

There's also the war for everyone's attention on "Social Media" and the Internet generally.

I found the timeline of events from the flight data recorder to be fairly suggestive of a likely conclusion.

Though that's as a lay-person; I am not a pilot but would love to hear if the seemingly obvious issue is the likely root cause.

I've only personally utilized it for code _review_ and always ignored the suggested result code instead to understand the source of the issue and try to arrive at a resolution I find satisfactory for my mental model of the issue and solutions I'd prefer.

My take is that the main difference is the approach to problems the coding agents have. They optimize towards presuming a fully working invocation environment, yet checking everything anyway, and then rolling back any changes and re-testing that such changes worked. Which is great for normal types of software but incredibly tedious for anything aimed at less than a fully hands free automated environment.

In other words, AI is very awesome at scope creep of assigned problems and targeting the validation prompts baked into the review system.

The pay might not be as good but they could also go to Europe. Might depend where they've got family / contacts.

Ideally every side would prefer a complete victory... who wouldn't? Reality rarely offers such clear outcomes.

Effectively the semantics are like a game of chicken and hostage combined. Might as well be a Prisoner's Dilemma.

Is Jet Fuel really the best use of coconut oil? I'd imagine it's far better as a lubricant or ingredient in things more directly adjacent to human rather than mechanical use.

It takes a village is so true. Children are something society as a whole should invest in, and fails to do so at risk to it's own future.

By society, I mean every one of us that plans to grow old instead of an early death.

Wouldn't it be nice to have two or three or ideally more generations of well adjusted people that grew up not fearful of hunger, nor lack of basic shelter, medical care?

Also, providing quality child care for any time the parent(s) are working frees up quality workers to do that... though a better work life balance would also help society.

Laser printed boarding passes are so much more reliable anyway and you never have to worry about recharging them.

Really shows how approachable it would have been to have just a tiny bit more added to the API of 'PC BIOS' to make for an extremely portable driver platform system to allow OS independent arbitrary hardware drivers as Forth that the system BIOS could compile at boot and run beneath the OS. Though of course the PC BIOS API from when that mattered isn't in anything like a modern protect mode operating profile.

For all the theories about how covid might have been some conspiracy in China... (I'm more inclined to believe a hybrid, they didn't have a program to develop any weapons out of it, but would EASILY buy a coverup to try to hide the shame of yet another seasonal virus that turned out to be more)

What if this sort of research leads to some prion like disease that either works like a slow acting (fast to spread) neuro-toxin, or a scenario like the Children of Men movie?

Containment and risks need to be considered.

I sum it up with: give me an error message rather than undefined or unintuitive behavior.

My condolences. I read that other hacker news post (was it a couple months back) from the (ex?) engineer...

Now that you know, can you conceptualize reasons why each pattern might be a correct preference? Among those reasons, which would you prefer as a system?

^^^ THAT is how an Interview Question should work around this factoid.

Presently it seems to be unlikely to find an inexpensive (<150 USD) router that will run OpenWRT, supports modern wifi modes, and is reasonably fast.

I settled for a MikroTik model when replacing my mom's router. It almost fits the criteria. I can even port forward via SSH on it.

The one thing it won't do natively? IPv6 6RD, the cursed legacy ISP junk CenturyLink has for IPv6 on DSL or, according to some posts I encountered looking for a solution, their rare fiber runs.

So now it has a script I found online, triggered to run every 10 seconds because the PPPoE interface doesn't provide an 'on change' event hook. If the IPv4 address has changed the script tears down and puts back up the IPv6 address on the 6in4 tunnel and lease blocks.
