Are there any resources you know of on modelling ground effect? I’m curious how this would change the dynamics from the post.

Gosh I should have thought of auto-braking. For some reason I kept thinking this was some fancy drone-braking system and couldn't figure out how you'd brake in the air... I never even considered the on-the-ground case. Thanks.

How does braking work in an aircraft?

Nothing comes close to Iosevka for me, after using it for a while it's hard to find the same mix of narrow+readable.

Sorry to hear that, here I was thinking that a blog like this could only be a good signal and a jumping-off point in an interview. Oh well

I used to feel apprehensive about emailing people until one day I just decided to power through and do it. I agree with the post, it's like you unlock an additional layer of communications. Everyone is suddenly contactable! I would also say that most poeple are really nice 1-1, I cannot remember a nasty reply (worst that happened to me was just my email being left ignored).

By the way I'm not GP, I just wanted to clarify what they said (or attempted to). Apologies.

I've been using Omarchy because it made Hyprland usable out of the box. By default you get sane hotkeys and neat config management. All the custom scripts are easily editable (since they're all bash scripts). So it's a very tweakable setup. In fact that's how I run it. I changed most of the defaults (Chrome->Firefox; Vim->Emacs; Walker->Vicinae; Alacritty->Wezterm) and removed all the app cruft and I'm loving it. Also, I enjoy the way themes are handled.

I don't know enough about event simulation to talk API design in depth but I find the stackful coroutine approach super interesting so I'll be taking a look at the code later!

Do you plan on accepting contributions or do you see the repo as being a read-only source?

I'm currently looking for some board/card games to play with friends so thank you for mentioning Mu, it sounds fun!

Also I didn't know those were called trick-taking games [0]

CLRF vs LF strikes again. Partly at least.

I wonder why even have a max line length limit in the first place? I.e. is this for a technical reason or just display related?

Re: the unauthenticated RCE (CVE-2025-11344), am I to understand that Apache will read and honour any .htaccess file it finds, even outside of the config root path? The lack of file clean-up when handling the exception is one thing... but this .htaccess logic strikes me as a bizarre default (if true).

You see the same thing with hundreds of CVEs assigned to random crap like PHPGurukul or Codeprojects. I.e. repositories of "tutorial" projects. Just like submitting a CVE for a vulnerability in OWASP's JuiceShop.

Nice. I notice that the author has some other interesting posts. I like this one on the James–Stein estimator [0] and this one [1] on day length variations.

By the way I think there's a missing factor of rho in the numerator in [1] in the sample transformation section. Should be rho^2
