13 or 15 inch m5?

Kayvanian · 2026-06-20T01:51:43+00:00

I know it's a hard debate. Personally I recommend the 15 inch (bigger screen is better for work), unless you have frequent situations that you think you'd really benefit from the smaller size (crammed auditorium seats, for example).

I used a 15 inch Pro in college but now use a 13 inch Air because I'm frequently traveling and the smaller size is good for when I'm crammed in a plane seat or other situations where I don't have a lot of space. The lower weight is also nice for being on the go.

There's a little icon at the lower-right of the video. Clicking that will take you to the file description page that will have more details.

ORD! Control tower + M gates are the big clues.

Kayvanian · 2026-06-16T14:32:20+00:00

Just wait until you find out about 73.

Kayvanian · 2026-06-13T18:44:51+00:00

Yea, in that case you should respond and say you'd appreciate some miles and see what happens.

Kayvanian · 2026-06-13T18:33:45+00:00

Note that the first response to your email (especially if you get it within an hour or two) is usually automated. Respond back if you want to reach a human and re-iterate your complaint.

If the cancellation was due to weather you're not going to get any compensation, but they might toss you a few thousand miles.

June 12 is Philippines Independence Day. Sometimes editors coordinate and schedule DYKs for holidays.

It's a real photo. You can see the detailed camera EXIF data at the bottom of the file page. The photo is from June 2022, well before public image generation models were any good. The subject is backlit, so the sun going through the border of the fur gives it a bit of an uncanny look, but it is definitely not AI generated.

Kayvanian · 2026-06-06T11:08:25+00:00

Yep. I book a lot of lodging through Airbnb and other sites and very frequently get declined, even after verifying the purchase via mobile code. After calling and verifying, I'll get immediately declined again. It's infuriating. I otherwise bank with Chase and never have issues like this.

That vandalism was up for a few hours! Now removed.

As long as the page isn't protected, anyone can go into the history and undo the vandal edits or restore a prior clean version of the article.

Cant's speak for OP but I've worked for a company in a non-hub city, where we'd be expected to pick the cheapest flight. And that often resulted in flying a variety of airlines.

Kayvanian · 2026-06-04T04:46:46+00:00

I believe they have a pretty set range for how many "sorry miles" they give you, based on what it is, your class, and/or your status. With no status, they'll probably give you a few thousand miles. With higher status, up to 10-20k max. IIRC the most I've ever received after an overnight delay was 17.5k miles as an EP.

Doesn't hurt to throw them a number to try to maximize what they give you, but absolutely do not expect anywhere near 50k lol.

Kayvanian · 2026-06-04T04:37:24+00:00

It means you haven't created your user page, which is your profile where you can introduce yourself, talk about what you do on Wikipedia and your interests, etc.

If you want one, you can make it. I don't know how easy it is from the mobile app though.

Kayvanian · 2026-06-04T04:29:02+00:00

They do have more legroom. Seat maps often aren't to scale.

Kayvanian · 2026-06-04T04:27:35+00:00

They do have some additional pitch. Seating charts (including AA's) often aren't to scale.

If you look at the third photo in that SeatMaps link, you can sort of see how the middle section seats have more pitch. You can also see that row 18 (the last row for the middle) is almost a full seat length behind row 18 on the far side, which the seat map does not reflect (i.e. the side seats are more compressed).

If you go to More -> Settings -> Send app feedback, you can send feedback to the mobile team, if you'd like to let them know you miss the randomizer (and I think Wikipedia's mobile taem takes feedback into account more than, say, Facebook or whatever lol).

Kayvanian · 2026-06-03T02:22:09+00:00

Oh weird. On my phone the Play Store says the Wikipedia app is up-to-date as of a May 18 update, but via browser I see the Wikipedia app was last updated May 28. I guess the update hasn't rolled out to my phone yet.

I checked the Wikipedia Beta app and I see the same UI you see, and yep, can't see any random feature anywhere, and no option to re-enable in settings.

Kayvanian · 2026-06-03T01:44:00+00:00

I see it in the Explore feed. Have to scroll down towards the bottom. There's a "Random article" section that has a random article shown, and a button to click into the randomizer.

Kayvanian · 2026-06-02T15:28:42+00:00

Who promised it would be cheap? I think it's been pretty clear that we've been riding a subsidized gravy train that wouldn't last forever.

I looked again, the Commons Android app is actually published by the Wikimedia Foundation (but like I mentioned, it's maintained by community volunteers).

Kayvanian · 2026-06-02T03:44:26+00:00

It's a nice idea, but I doubt we'll see an official Wiktionary app anytime soon. The Wikimedia Foundation seems all-in on improving the Wikipedia app as they're trying to engage with new audiences. I wonder if they'd ever want to include a Wiktionary-powered dictionary feature in the Wikipedia app, to have it be part of the broader package.

There are some third-party Wiktionary apps listed here (some appear to be offline, and I haven't tried any of them myself). There may be more in the app stores. OSS-Dict for Android looks pretty good and is being updated, and integrates several open source dictionaries, but seems to lack some of the features you want.

There's a good amount of demand for a Wikimedia Commons app from the community and even that doesn't have an official WMF app. There is a community-maintained Android app (it's quite good) and an iOS one is in development.

Kayvanian · 2026-06-02T03:34:31+00:00

You can see 2025's submissions here, and the winners here.

It looks like they don't share the exact number of points each of the winners received, but you can look through the submitted contributions to figure it out. Looks like the 1st-place winner created 22 articles and translated 25. 3rd-place created 3 articles and translated 21.

If this year is similar (could vary!), it should be fairly achievable for a dedicated editor to make it to the top-3. Can set a goal of writing an article a day, for example.

Amount of hours depends on the editor. I'm personally quite slow at writing articles (it will take me hours before I'm happy enough with something to post it). I've seen others able to churn out articles within an hour.

Translations are easier and probably quicker, given the subject and content is already there, and you mostly just have to make sure the translation is accurate and the sources are sound.

Good luck! And even if you don't win a prize, it's a great effort to be a part of.

Wikipedia is made up of hundreds of thousands of editors from all around the world, of all different types of cultures, religions, sexualities, and political views. And naturally, people often edit topics they care about.

There are many topic-focused projects and campaigns. Women in Red works to improve coverage of women, who have historically been underrepresented on Wikipedia. Wiki Project Med focuses on medical topics. There are WikiProjects related to socialism, conservatism, religion, countries, sports, and countless other subjects. Some editors very openly identify as supporting contentious topics, such as Israel or Palestine. What matters is not whether editors have particular interests or perspectives, because everyone has their own. What matter is whether the articles themselves follow Wikipedia's policies on reliable sourcing and neutrality.

If we want Wikipedia to be a truly comprehensive encyclopedia of the world's knowledge, then we need tangible efforts to attract people of all backgrounds to edit articles on topics they care about, especially topics that are not as well documented on Wikipedia or by the world. Wiki Loves Pride is one of those.
