I felt it in Boston, albeit very faintly

> The title of the submission is also "Nationwide FAA weather reporting outage"

Yeah, but the title is made up. There is noting in the official report about this being "nationwide".

The report only states that there is a metar outage consisting of 167 stations.

It doesn't provide any context on which stations are missing or how they are distributed.

Adding "nationwide" to the title is pure FUD IMO.

Full list of reporting stations is here: https://www.aviationweather.gov/docs/metar/stations.txt

The report is that 167 are missing.

That would be roughly 5% of US stations or 0.2% of worldwide stations.

I was able to look up meters for airports that I'm familiar with. https://www.aviationweather.gov/metar

So, it is real but far from a total collapse of the system.

Is the Aptera doing this? I remember them talking about having the motors in the wheels but I'm not sure if it's what you're proposing.

I would ask the interviewer and use it as an opportunity to show your knowledge of data structures and your ability to reason about trade-offs and talk through priorities.

I would say something like: "I think a balanced tree, such as an rb-tree, would be useful here for <reasons that make sense given the problem and the properties of rb trees>. I've written rb trees before and think I could write a basic one in 10-15 minutes or I could use <class from the std library, which uses a balanced tree>. Which would you prefer?"

Assuming what you said made sense I would take an interaction like that as a positive signal.

Where I live in semi-rural Maine, probably 90+% of the houses are on private roads on private land. If they weren't listed as routes in map services nobody would be able to find us.

Those prices are likely body-only. By the time you add lenses and other accessories you're probably looking at 2-4x the price of the body.

Prodkernel is not in the monorepo - it's in a separate git repo and uses it's own systems for building and qualifying new releases.

There is a system for using git* in conjunction with the monorepo that some developers use, but that system has nothing to do with the prodkernel.

* there is also a similar system for using mecurial with the monorepo that some folks love.
