  • A big part was work-life balance; a decade or two of lowered seniority, pay, and less ideal schedules is about how long pilots can expect it’ll take to be captain of a wide-body jet for a major airline. I currently work from home and learned I do actually prefer learning about technology every day. Much of commercial flying is more similar to being a bus driver in the sky, while also being vigilant for the rare occasions when the plane tries to kill you.

    There are some useful options which can be found in the rsync manual although knowing which are redundant or conflicting can be tricky. If you run with the ‘n’ option first it will dry run, then you can remove the n to do the needful.

    rsync -navhP --no-compress --ignore-existing --mkpath source dest
    
    -n dry-run, no changes are made
    -a is for archive, which recursively preserves ownership, permissions etc.
    -v is for verbose, so I can see what's happening (optional)
    -h is for human-readable, so the transfer rate and file sizes are easier to read (optional)
    -P show progress
    --no-compress as there's no lack of bandwidth between local devices
    --ignore-existing will skip updating files that exist on receiver 
    -r is recursive, included in -a
    --mkpath will create the destination's path component
    


  • Never watched Designated Survivor before and just started it, an itch in my brain is being scratched. The itch gets worse when I see how useless Congress is.

    Only a handful of the GOP are onboard the Epstein discharge petition, make sure to call your GOP House rep and ask why they’re protecting kid diddlers.

    Or why they are doing nothing about the largest bribe in history to a president. Not to mention the foreign emoluments that he’s now expanded to crypto.

    And while I’m pissed off, it used to be the president would propose a budget, and Congress would make unpopular votes to pass a bill transferring wealth to the top. They found this was too much work and posing a threat to their reelections, so now the Congress shall propose budgets and the president will bring the efficiency of ignoring any parts of the budget which do not benefit the wealthy. No longer will they have to worry about whatever amendments or concessions were made to get the paper tiger formality of a bill passed.












  • I played some games at 5 years old; mainly Pac-In-Time and Mario Teaches Typing on MacOS, and Super Mario Bros on the NES with my grandpa helping me on the hard parts. My own kids when they were 5 played curated video games like Minecraft, Lego Worlds, and the other various Lego titles. Screen time limits are important until kids learn time management, at one point I had some software I found to give warnings and lock them out once their account time was up.

    Once kids are old enough to understand the need to prioritize other aspects of life it’s beneficial to have had some base level of computer experience. One example, my now older kid asked me the other day about how to set up an autoclicker and we walked through choosing a keyboard shortcut to trigger an Autohotkey script to spam clicks, and how to add other hotstrings and functions. I truly don’t know shit about programming, but functional versus object oriented programming seems both more approachable and more of a practical tool for kids of the next gen who will likely need some understanding of how programs work to sort out good advice from hallucinations in whatever AI tool their employer uses.
