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?

I’ve always wanted to build a MAME cabinet. Do you have any good resources you could share on how to build one?
“It is remarkable that mind enters into our awareness of nature on two separate levels. At the highest level, the level of human consciousness, our minds are somehow directly aware of the complicated flow of electrical and chemical patterns in our brains. At the lowest level, the level of single atoms and electrons, the mind of an observer is again involved in the description of events. Between lies the level of molecular biology, where mechanical models are adequate and mind appears to be irrelevant. But I, as a physicist, cannot help suspecting that there is a logical connection between the two ways in which mind appears in my universe. I cannot help thinking that our awareness of our own brains has something to do with the process which we call "observation" in atomic physics. That is to say, I think our consciousness is not just a passive epiphenomenon carried along by the chemical events in our brains, but is an active agent forcing the molecular complexes to make choices between one quantum state and another. In other words, mind is already inherent in every electron, and the processes of human consciousness differ only in degree but not in kind from the processes of choice between quantum states which we call "chance" when they are made by electrons.”
― Freeman Dyson

I felt similar until I got hit by a car while riding my bike. Now I don't really mind dealing with the helmet at all as I ride around. I also got older, and don't really mind looking "lame" caring a helmet with me.
