For small 4-6 seater general aviation aircraft it's hard (relative to a normal landing), but not at all unheard of. A modern 4 lane highway is more than wide enough, and very probably has a long enough straight section within range, to

Being too lazy to go ready RFCs on a Monday morning, is what a valid schema consists of spelled out? Is `isbn://0441569595` a valid URI? If so, is there a standardized list of schemas?

I'm pretty sure that says more about your lack of imagination than the economics of Starlink. There are already multiple geosynchronous satellite internet providers that provide incredibly shitty (and expensive) internet service that y

I know him personally and he certainly wouldn't. He's one of the most humble people I've ever met. I just wanted to emphasize that he's not just any NASA scientist.

I used to administer flu shots as an Army medic back in the day. I don't recall ever receiving or giving this warning.

Calling Al Bowers "a NASA scientist" is like calling Jeff Bezos "some rich guy". Al was (now retired) the Chief scientist at Armstrong Flight Research Center, and has been a huge inspiration to hundreds (maybe thousands)

Could you link to an example of a seaweed hat? I've never heard the term and Google is giving me very mixed results.

I'm pretty sure that's the meaning GP was going for. The only other meaning I can think of would be "serving in the military", which (in the US at least) would be "in the service" and anyway members of the mi

And it's all relative. $2800 isn't crazy for a one bedroom in the South Bay Area, and rents have hardly moved so far down here.

Even "sub genre" is overstating it. Cask is extremely niche in the US. The vast majority of establishments do not regularly serve cask beers, no matter how craft focused they are.

The original comment didn't say anything about breweries. I worked for a pub for a while that did beer and wine only with 20 taps. We definitely had the occasionally stinker that sat around for way too long (if it sat around too long,

Except you don't because tampering with the odometer isn't seen as being common in the US.

Ah, I guess my memory is faulty. It looks like Windows 8 was actually the first version to do away with the classic theme entirely.

Counterpoint: At 6 significant digits you have a margin of error of thousandths of a millimeter when measuring degrees longitude near the prime meridian, but the error balloons to whole meters when measuring longitudes in Australia. I have

But at least XP would let you switch back to Windows 2000 look and feel. The eye candy was just that, and easily removed. When Windows 7 rolled around I spent years being mad that it was no longer possible to have a Windows 2000 style UI in

Huh? The start menu folder hierarchy was always its own thing. The start menu folders didn't have any relationship to where anything is installed.

So does the Federal government. Hell, my tiny little corner of the Federal government employs thousands of software developers all on its own.

Are you saying the build quality wasn't solid on the Surface lineup? That doesn't match my experience at all.

Ah, one of the downsides of working for the Federal government is that you forget that "government" isn't just the big players. Although I can't say I've encountered this in my interactions with the California gover

Maybe I misunderstood. What tools do you think the government should be building in house? If MS Word isn't something you're advocating that we rewrite in house, then I don't understand what you're advocating that we don

AFAIK, my corner of the government doesn't use Google or Microsoft services for any public-facing services. That said, we do use Google and MS (and AWS and GitHub and ...) internally, but with a huge caveat. Absolutely all of those ser

Sorry, where are you getting 19,500 sq. mi.? The Wikipedia article says 4,500 sq. km. , or ~1,700 sq. mi. Not that it matters much. I spent several years stationed at the Army's nearby Ft. Irwin and the area is so desolate the actual
