But don’t all pilots have to lodge their flight plans? Surely hiding a plane in a hangar is not that easy since you would know which airport it is located in.

I think this works even to this day on Win 10. I'm not sure about Win 11 though.

This is awesome. May I please make one request which would make my life so easy - can you wrap the chords in square brackets? Tools like MySongbook will highlight the chords that w…

I gave a very specific example of the inconsistency between different language versions of the same wiki page, which is prevalent in every wiki page where there is a potential for …

I see so much being cited from Wikipedia, and that is not a reliable source. One only has to look at an article in different languages, clearly authored by different sets of people…

If you are accusing me of being absurdist or reductionist, know this: floor mats were the official cause of "sudden acceleration", where they would slip off their pegs that were ho…

Now that I think back, I believe you are correct. The decision was based on making a previously-unavailable feature available, which meant people could potentially (be irresponsibl…

It's not just material cost, probably different interface to the sensor so factor in some R&D, approvals, etc. Any time anything , no matter how small or innocuous (bracket, cable,…

Just further proves my point. You should probably then take out any floor mats, cup holders, temperature controls, radio, or anything else that could potentially impede, obstruct, …

I've worked for a large OEM, dealing with a large Japanese megacorp that is not Mazda for about two years (actually Mazda was one of our customers too, but I didn't get to work wit…

This is correct.

> no kids yet You will know no fury as when your kids intentionally mix up all the pieces for fun. We have hundreds of LEGO people, and my kids intentionally dismembered them into …

Is there a general assumption/consensus that Google doesn’t do stuff like this? My assumption is that any closed-source software can collect any data they want about their users. “…

I love this idea, but at the same time I think it is not feasible. Back then, there were no economic or even political benefits of being able to join an online community. These day…

I think my comment was misinterpreted, judging by both comments to it. What I meant to say, wrist straps were not even on my radar of aesthetics, and I was shocked to learn it’s a …

It is mind-boggling to me that something so frivolous is a $1B industry. Watch straps to me are completely functional. Sure, I’ll pick a better-looking strap, but I would never pay…

It’s funny, music was what solved my existential crisis. Software is always being replaced. When I die, chances are my kids and grandkids will never be able to point to a piece of …

The way I combat this is by asking questions about their current jobs, then diving deep into the technical problems they faced. It requires a lot more preparation for each candidat…

Fair enough. I was looking at Photoshop which is claimed at $20.99 a month, but if you actually rent it monthly it's $31.99 a month. Oh, and I wonder how long the $5/month pricing …

It is usually not billed monthly. They SAY it’s $5/month, but your actual price is $60 right now, for a whole year. That’s a huge difference. You’re paying a good portion of full p…

But you are not paying $5/month. That’s a gimmick. You are pre-paying a full year’s worth. It’s like paying (almost) full price but for only a year’s worth of use. For Adobe, at le…

You’re probably going to be pushed into it over time. Whether it’s because they will make it incompatible with newer plugins, or because they will make newer hardware incompatible …

I love this take. Doomed if you do, doomed if you don't.

That is true, but that happens on my terms. And there are also drawbacks on being on the very latest of everything. Examples include: becoming a de-facto beta tester for new featur…
