Why should anyone want to use this, OP?

Writing off Practical Engineering's videos as "stock footage" is utterly hilarious to me.

C'mon. I know everyone on HN just can't help but glaze anyone who deals with "real world things" rather than 1s and 0s but this is absolutely not one of his more original content videos. You can't simulate landing aircraft using a clear plastic box (one of his better props) like you can soil conditions so you get what you get.

If you watched the video you would know he didn’t. Animations only in this one.

I think ncmpcpp might check all those boxes, with the caveat that it's a TUI player. Have you tried it?

Which players on Windows are you talking about?

MusicBee and foobar2000 with the old SimPlaylist plugin.

> We live in times where parents and schools no longer have the authority to enforce behaviour

...What? They certainly can, if they're banning certain behavior?

It is one thing to ban something on paper, another to actually ban it in practice. In France, mobile phones for students in college (junior high school) have been banned but surveys of schools suggested only 9% of the schools actually banned the phones, citing practical and financial constraints.

No mention of ncmpcpp?! Pshaw.

Because going to the shed to get a work-tested tool is still faster than waiting on an LLM and hoping it meets every use-case you're likely to run into with that tool.

Whatever it is, the future will also certainly not be what it was a couple decades ago - that is, every one inventing their own solution to solved problems, resulting in a mess of tools with no standardization. There is a reason libraries/frameworks/etc exist.

One should not have to preface every single thing with "In my opinion" or some variant for you to realize that that's what they're talking about.

Ebooks are

Aren't NOTAMs published for those with specific information about the TFR, including location and time window?

NO. They just say “any event”

What about SEAMS, mentioned here? https://www.faa.gov/uas/getting_started/where_can_i_fly/airs...

iirc, it is not considered official data, so if it makes a mistake and you violate a TFR, YOU are on the hook.

Reading up on this more, it seems to be based on stadium/venue capacity, which means any possible TFRs are at a limited number of areas for very specific series, for which there is data available [1]

The TFR in TFA appears to be much more ambiguous than this. I'm not sure they're really comparable.

Ha!

Which specific series? Why do i need to know when sportsball happens, any variety of it? Oh, and concerts too. Why do i need to know when taylor swift is in town?

Nope, it is not nearly that simple, and consequences can be dire.

I don't disagree with you that there should be no onus on pilots to have to hunt for this information (which is why I would guess that SEAMS is maintained, but not sure) - my point only is that this isn't really comparable to the TFR mentioned in TFA. All the Stadium TFRs are static; the "national defence" TFRs are not.

Isn't ATC going to yell at you before you enter such a TFR?

In USA, you are not required to talk to ATC as long as you are outside of controlled airspace. Stupid not to, but 100% legal.
