    Are you allowed to pitch the baseball along the ground, therefore making it impossible to properly hit with the bat? It's no different in cricket really.

    Reading a register from a microcontroller peripheral may well reset it as an example of a possible side-effect here, and that's exactly the kind of thing you use volatile for.

    That is already happening in the EU [1][2]. Most of the world will catch up soon I suspect, with some notable exceptions. [1] https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/cybe…

    I kind of have the opposite experience, and really only use maps to find streets within the city limits. The country is easy to navigate with the road signs you see along the way, …

    You do get an audible "DUAL INPUT DUAL INPUT" warning and some lights though [1]. It is never allowable to make sidestick inputs unless you are the single designated "pilot flying"…

    The 777 and 787 before it are true fly-by-wire designs like the Airbus in question here; the 737 MAX isn't and never was. It just had a computer that was supposed to add artificial…

    That's applicable for one specific model of ADIRU (basically determines where the aircraft is in 3d space in terms of position, rotation, velocities, and accelerations) from a sing…

    You can turn the ignition off. The reversers will not unlock on an airliner that's airborne either.

    That’s exactly the problem “Dev Drive” is intended to solve I believe. I haven’t tried it myself. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/dev-drive/

    It works fine for McDonalds. They just print the number in a huge typeface on the receipt. They don’t have to pretend to care, and I don’t have to mess around spelling my name out.…

    That may be so for the camera division but not for PlayStation. My PS3 takes a standard 2.5” drive. Not sure about PS4.
