Regular Python bindings / c extensions don’t depend on a pypi-packaged instance of gcc or llvm though. It’s understood that these things are provided externally from the “system” environment.
I know some of it has already happened with rust, but perhaps there’s a broader reckoning that needs to occur here wrt standards around how language specific build and packaging systems handle cross language projects… which could well point to phasing those in favour of nix or pixi, which are designed from the getgo to support this use case.
Usually arbitrary binaries stuffed in Python wheels are mostly self contained single binaries and such, with as little dynamic linking nonsense as possible, so they don't break all the time, or have dependency conflicts.
It seems to consistently work really well for binaries, although it would be nice to have first class support for integrating npm packages.
same - my eod commits are always titled 'checkpoint commit: <whatever>' and push to remote. Then before the MR is made (or turned from draft to final) I squash the checkpoint commits - gives me a psychological feeling of safety more than anything else imo
I imagine the pace in India was also borne out of necessity - there are just so many more cases to go through there, that the surgeons had no choice but to adapt.
Very bizarre. To fly a plane out, won't the pilot of the plane have to speak with ATC? I wonder if letting the ATC (of the municipal airport) be informed that this plane tends to be flown by someone who might not be authorized might help?
Unless you're inside a place with special flight rules (like the Washington DC area), you can just fly your plane whenever you want and don't have to file a flight plan or tell anyone. Small airports often don't have ATC so all communications are on a single frequency that all pilots trying to take off or land are tuned into. It's like being at a four way stop sign, there's "right of way" protocol to follow so you don't need to do much other than just announce your intentions to anyone that cares to hear them.
Really the only way to handle this is to put your plane in a locked hanger or chain it to the ground with a lock and then pay for whatever flight tracker that will alert you whenever a specific tail number is in the air. Follow it and then call whatever local police when it lands.
It depends on the airport! Some smaller airports (like Corona Municipal Airport where the story is based) - are untowered, meaning that there's no central ATC to chat with when taking off/landing - everyone announces what they're doing as they're doing it and there's a traffic pattern/flow that everyone follows to ensure there's no conflicts - it works surprisingly well.
In the US, you can get shockingly very far without having to chat with ATC.
There's no "requirement" that pilots announce their intentions on the common frequency at uncontrolled airports, some aircraft may not even have radios.

Got to love it when a Citation whose pilot is to arrogant to radio and a crop duster that doesn’t have any instruments to speak of are both in the pattern.

Having been cut off by that particular pilot once in the pattern and once when I was holding short, I’m absolutely there for everyone on CTAF absolutely tearing them apart for a straight two minutes until someone from UNICOM tells the Vietnam vets in their hangars to shut the fuck up. (Eastern Idaho. Uncontrolled.)
The article said the airplane is based at KAJO, which is barely within the lateral boundary of Ontario International’s Class C shelf. To legally avoid a requirement to talk to ATC going north, he would have to stay below 2,700 MSL and remain outside the KONT Class C core. There’s a lot of area to the south and east that a pilot could buzz around without having to talk to anyone. Avoiding terrain to the south would be important.
Plenty of airports do not have controlled airspace. I've been to at least one where the local frequency was played on a loudspeaker on the ground so that people on the runway knew when a plane was coming in for a landing. The pilot still should communicate what they are doing, but they don't need approval to land.
