I absolutely love his performance in Airplane, the facial expressions are perfect and the way he looks around after “the hell I don’t” shows he really has great comedic timing and movement.
Incidentally, for anyone that didn’t know, the film Airplane was an almost shot for shot remake of a film called Zero Hour [1] and the copilot in the original film was a famous NFL player (Elroy ‘Crazy Legs’ Hirsch), hence why they’ve got Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to play the copilot in Airplane.
We have clearance Clarence. Roger, Roger. What's our vector Victor?
Airplane! was just on The Rewatchables, one of The Ringer podcasts, and the co-pilot role was originally written for Pete Rose but he couldn't do it because they filmed during baseball season.
It seems funnier with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar because at 7’2” the idea he’d be able to slyly get away with moonlighting as an airline pilot is even more ridiculous!
Who's the guy who, late in the movie, jumps from the left side of the frame, grabs Leon's love handles, shakes them, saying "Leon's getting too fat! He's too fat!" and then jumps back out of the frame, leaving Leon astonished and speechless, staring to the left? And who is Leon?
It looks like an ad-libbed scene to me: "Leon" was absolutely struck dumb by the move.
The one issue I have with SQLite's file format is that if part of the file gets corrupted, you can't easily recover the rest of the file. I asked Richard Hipp about this many years ago and he said that fixing the problem would unfortunately break binary compatibility.
It'll likely be very workload dependent. The M4 Max will probably do a little better in single threaded tasks like browser benchmarks and the M3 Ultra will do better in things like video transcoding and 3D rendering.
About 40 years ago my father, an oncologist, told me there were two common types of prostate cancer, the fast growing type that kills you and the slow growing type that doesn't. We've learned a lot about it since then, but that description is still essentially true.
It causes 30,000 deaths a year in the US, which is not insignificant - in comparison breast cancer kills 40,000.
Yes, the absolute number of deaths is significant. There is a debate within the medical community over whether the slower growing type should be relabeled as not-cancer / pre-cancer, etc., as surveillance is the more typical treatment plan these days. This in turn will increase the death rate percentage of the remaining (fast growing) cases.
Also worth mentioning that it's not just about surviving it, there's also quality of life. The earlier you catch it the better the outcome.
If it doesn't escape the prostate, a tumor could potentially impinge on the urethra causing urinary difficulty. There is a benign version of this called BPH and it may be treatable by medications like Flowmax.
But it's not like we can always know it will stay slow growing forever. Some cancers can suddenly become aggressive and metastasize, so careful monitoring is important.
Plus a large percentage of men (like 1 in 8 in the US) eventually get it, it’s just that men often keel over before that happens. If men live longer, percentage will naturally increase
IIRC there was also some news a while back (pre-covid era) on the massive funding discrepancy between research into the two. Hopefully not the case any more.
This sucks beyond belief. The whole reason I moved to Insomnia from Postman was because Postman uploaded all of our APIs and credentials to their server without asking. I have clients that demand privacy - we can't even discuss the existence of their APIs outside the company.
Do you have any details on the equivalent Postman change? How long ago did Postman force users to create an account? I found this github issue, but I'm not sure if it's what everyone keeps referencing.

I have the Version 2 documentation around here somewhere. I don't think I've looked at it in 20 years, though.
