I was just thinking more or less along these lines - I haven't been in mobile apps for a few years now, but back then my impression was - SwiftUI is great for "surface level" UI, t…

Yup - most models ignore specific initial instructions once you pass ~50% of usable context window, and revert to their defaults eg generating overtly descriptive yet useless docs …

Same with salt.

AMD owns a lot of the consumer market already; handhelds, consoles, desktop rigs and mobile ... they are not a small player.

The pressure difference shouldn’t be significant enough in modern jets? Cabin altitude is around 6000-8000’ - we would hear complaints from a few major cities. Humidity is much low…

Not just their software, the hardware is beginning to be get pretty unwieldily complicated. From an OS / software perspective: Have a "core" macOS that has none of the apps / integ…

I make and sell soap. The soap contains an ingredient that anyone can use to make bombs. Some people buy my soap only for that purpose. I know because they literally tell me how th…

Yes & no, definitely more no for practical reasons. Let me explain; ATC are ultimately expected to know about restrictions and keep traffic away from them. NOTAM's are a notorious …

For some context; - Jaguar competes in the same demographic that Audi, BMW and Mercedes go head to head in - Jaguar merged with Land Rover about a decade ago, and the JLR group as …

Not at all wanting to be confrontational- genuinely curious; if they’re not on the far right then where are they? The Democrats seem fairly centrist, and it’s the more wayward inde…

I don't think the GA market will ever grow that large though - not without substantial effort to make compliance with all the regulations effortless. You need more pilots, so makin…

Sounds a lot like the Airbus's "normal law" flying! My $0.02 - I'm a CPL ME/IR who gets wet a lot, and is upside down half the time. Background is Automotive and Mechanical Enginee…

My understanding is that it’s a bit of both. The best analogy for USA equivalent is that imagine Alaska is where we have a bunch of oil / gas, but we need it in New York and Miami.…

Something that I didn’t see mentioned clearly - A “licensed” mechanic needs to “certify” or sign off on the paperwork that a given task was done to a given standard following a giv…

Also my personal opinion / thoughts: If you predominantly work in TypeScript, for the web, there's no better editor. It's faster & "lighter" than any JetBrains product, but has exc…

This is my take as well. CarPlay takes in a bunch of input from various sensors / cameras in a car and gives back “drive” or cruise control commands that are at level 3+. Replaces …

I'd argue you need this split - managing people is different skill set to managing a project, which is different to managing the technology, which is different to managing a produc…

A kindle is excellent to read eBooks, and that's about it. An iPad (or tablet form factor) is excellent for consuming content on the internet, which includes eBooks amongst movies,…

Honestly - as someone who did their primary and instrument using steam gauges, and now mostly flies a Cirrus Perspective+ system (G1000 with some extra's), you'll get up to speed i…

Have you used other tools like linear? The performance difference is striking. Atlassian tools are decent enough, and mostly usable is how I'd describe them. I'd take anything else…

They never go full black though? You can still adjust them (marginally / within some limited bounds of very dark to dark) from what I remember.

It's also part of its hate - it's been wrangled into a hot mess with routing, data fetching, state management and inability to play nice with html elements (specifically forms; con…

Not when they are built by Chinese companies, using Chinese sourced labour and supplies, and then the locals are taxed / billed to use them which many can't afford to begin with. N…

For a company that has its own relatively large fleet of aircraft ... $5,000-$30,000 is a few screws and some grease on an airframe. While the some book keepers will care, in its g…
