As a pilot with an amateur radio license (though an inexperienced ham) this sounds really interesting. Could you elaborate more on building the VOR receiver?

Love online communities and losing reddit is a huge hit. If hacker news ever goes I honestly don’t know what I’d do.

Are you a pilot or ATC? They’re different, but you build a visual representation of traffic in your brain in both arenas. As a pilot you cannot rely on ATC- you have to fly the plane first and keep yourself safe.

Not ATC but recently obtained my pilots license at the ripe old age of 41 and trained at the busiest class delta in the US. 30 year old age limit seems pretty restrictive .

"Einstein's Fridge" was great to learn about the history and development of thermodynamics at a fairly high level.

"Good Inside" on becoming a better parent was also great and taught me a lot.

"Every Tool's a Hammer" on becoming a better maker.

"Crafting Interpreters" on learning about and building compilers.

All were really great reads.

Any sources or materials that you know of to learn more about this? Would love to try it out.

What is a common knowledge you believe disappeared?
