Can anybody suggest a simple cli tool (besides curl ofc) for calling REST endpoints, since this article didn't provide that ;)

Sweet! I know this patch has been cooking for a while, gosh the gitlab page takes ages to even load...
Trying to look at the source... Is the whole thing less than ~1000 LOC ???
You probably got served an Anubis challenge first, doing some computations to block (LLM) scraper bots, which does slow down loading by a second or so
I literally can’t read this blog post because it keeps jumping to the top of the page to play the video again and again.
Maybe take 10% of the time you spent dreaming up new colors to just make your blog function like a regular page instead of adding a million weird animations?
And halfway down the page background becomes bright pink for me??
openai should pay creators, but:
1. scraping the internet and making AI out of it
2. using the AI from #1 to create another AI
are not the same thing.
#1 destroys peoples willingness to publish and unfairly hogs bandwidth / creates costs for small hosters
#2 makes a big corp a bit angry
Indeed not the same thing

I too like f-droid but have found it too difficult to figure out how to publish packages for it. Last time I looked at it all the documentation covered tool chains I don't use. I see that there are Godot games on f-droid now so I hope that means there is an easy path to go from a Godot project to f-droid package. Also is there any support for PWAs on F-droid?
PWA's just got a callout in the OP, freshly supported since this year

Does it? Another powerful calculating engine trapped behind a skeuomorph interface?
Here[1] is a really nice effort that, sadly, hasn't been updated in 14 years and only runs on Windows. It's a wonderful 606kB math REPL that can probably do everything DB48X can do, except it foregoes all the 1970's portable calculator nonsense, making it about a thousand times more useful.
I have a nascent clone of this written in Rust using egui and rug, that is currently stalled because -- on bleeping Windows -- the former has problems with MinGW the latter has problems with MSVC... which makes me want to tear my hair out. I wait, patiently, for egui to get their MinGW ducks in a row because I have no hope that the GMP/MPFR/MPC stack is ever going to work on MSVC in my lifetime.
Is there a significant difference between that package and SageMath / XCas / Octave and friends? While a bit arcane, I've always been a great fan of xcas

The Latex to Quarkdown comparison in the github README[0] is a much better introduction than the slide show.
Or, maybe I'm just an old and ornery programmer who frequently says in his head "GET TO THE POINT!"

Indeed, but listing LaTeX as "No scripting" seems odd at best

That’s a static rule that the pilots can (and have to) comply with based on information available to them, though.
I wonder if an updated (international) flight plan is checked for projected congestion levels (based on other flight plans?) at all and can be declined for that reason?
The flightplans get shared and updated with every involved area. Usually those can say no ahead of time and always at the time of airspace entry (entering US airspace for example)
What checks the FAA does to those plans, I doubt we'll ever know

Are controllers expected to manage the details of the take off and landing queues and also expected to be be looking quite a bit upstream to see what's coming up and check the details of the flight and company policies?
I suspect the controller assumed this flight would use visual separation, like everyone else, when it entered the landing queue; and the pilot expected to use ILS, like everywhere else given the conditions, when it entered the landing queue. The difference in expectations became apparent only when clearance was given, at which point there's not enough flexibility to accommodate an ILS landing, and it's hard to guess when there will be a place to slot it in. Diverting to Oakland and repositioning later is a reasonable, if not optimal outcome.
My guess is, if either side had mentioned their expectations when the flight entered approach control, and it had been cleared up then, it would have been quite possible to get an ILS landing on the first go round. (ATIS recordings did say simultaneous visual approaches)
> Are controllers expected to....
Yes. Yes they are
Now granted there is usually a second planner controller that does not talk to traffic but is responsible for looking ahead, perhaps that was affected by the shortage
