    I spent a lot of time as a child playing the flight simulator demo, this brought back a lot of good memories

    They seem to work through buttonfly, just not directly through the other links

    If you don't use the app store, you can still install the xcode command line tools with the xcode-select command. I didn't bother signing in with an Apple account on my personal Ma…

    We're talking about a web browser, right? What workflow?

    I can't imagine those working too well these days. None of my cards have raised numbers, they'd make a completely blank impression. They have probably been completely phased out in…

    I think they mean that companies rarely update their status pages to reflect reality (for instance, AWS outages are rarely shown on their own status pages). This is often by design…

    You're not alone, though personally I quite like his tone and delivery. It's entirely probable that you're not in his target audience and that's okay.

    It's true that some planes fly on leaded fuel, but commercial airlines generally do not. It's only piston engine planes that fly on leaded AvGas, all jet aircraft including tubropr…

    Another day, another gadgetbahn. It's hard to tell from their website exactly what problems they're trying to solve. They seem to have taken all of the worst aspects of monorail st…

    Must be quite the paranoid business, given even tier 1 banks here (in the UK) will happily run GPL software.

    Looks very cool, will have to give this a shot.

    Why is that unfortunate? Unless you're looking to make proprietary changes to Grafana Oncall and host it as a SAAS, it's the same as running any other GPL software.

    People are more likely to avoid doing business with you if you call yourself a pyramid scheme. Calling youself a "multi-level marketing" business sounds far more benign.

    Ignoring production, hydrolox would work, not that spacex are going down that road

    Not strange if you can read a map, Moscow is directly north of Donetsk. It makes perfect sense that they would share a time zone.

    There are vending machines full of SIM cards at Heathrow, so I'd say they're still available.

    It's 64,000 'positions' of 32-bit words. That'd be 256,000 modern 8-bit bytes.

    But can it be type coerced?

    Same, especially since the domain gave me electrical engineering vibes.

    I've heard it's a safety thing, in some contexts, as the grounding pin is in the way if something gets dropped onto the plug.

    I'm still not sure what difference is between 'no-code' and just using software. If I create a workflow in Jira I wouldn't say I'm creating no-code software, I'd describe that as j…
