That is absolutely delightful

It is bad terminology, yes. But also - a pretense that you know the overarching influence of a commit ahead of time, which you don't - but once you have conventional commits everyo…

Previously: https://blog.julik.nl/2020/04/do-not-use-tickets-in-commit-t... with honorable mention of conventional commits. There is nothing conventional about them - it's ceremony…

Which is not hard to do (it is a modulo over a mersenne twister or something similar), but in my recent gigs just Flipper with optional "state of the flags table as of now" endpoin…

But - albeit briefly - a lot of value for the shareholders has been created

This. Pulling in Parquet and all of its dependencies is utter overkill.

This is the next evolution of the "My film does not use CGI" sneering. Sure, doing proper pre-rendered VFX with photo-realism is great and also people doing it love it. But can it …

Mine is 2560x1440 which is a pretty nice "sweet spot" size. A comparable 5k to 6k display still commands a substantial price, and - given that I work at two locations - would need …

I would have switched in a pinch if Zed had their low-DPI font rendering in order. At the moment it just looks bad.

Interesting article, but it mixes up two concerns, I would say. One is retrieving trees from the DB and storing them - which can be annoying but has nothing to do with permissions.…

Having built an image sequence player using JPEGs back in the day - I can attest that it slappps.

It depends on whether the ELAC is an LRU (line-replaceable unit, i.e. a box with ports that can be swapped at an airport) and whether a software update can be uploaded into a unit …

This ELAC version is 100-something, and the A320 first flew around 1988. Why the updates - for example, there are updates to flight control law transitions, like after 1991 where t…

True. I would say, however, that every "concept" of airliner flight deck has its own gimmicks that can kill. The Airbus "dual input" is such a gimmick. Even though there was, for e…

The animations were there, but they were frame-based with the number of frames carefully calculated to show UI state changes that were relevant. For example, when you would open a …

I'd rather say the zenith was 8.1 which was not very widely used. 8.5 did add some nice gimmicks like the app switcher palette but for some reason it felt way slower than 8.1.

That is an interesting difference. Also, from what I know, the German signaling is configured in such a way that there always be sufficient braking distance between signals - inclu…

Most European railways require a driver to have done some route familiarization for most routes, which tends to work fairly well. What does not work very well is that the UK has ve…
