It does do that and it's pretty neat, if you have one of the very few modern turboprops or small jets that have G3000s & auto throttle to support it. Airliners don't have this, but they have a 2nd pilot. A real-world activati

Yes those are optional systems that exist, but they are unrelated to the autopilot (in at least the vast majority of avionics). They are warning systems that humans respond to. For a TCAS RA the first thing you're doing is disengaging

Airplane autopilots follow a lateral & sometimes vertical path through the sky prescribed by the pilot(s). They are good at doing that. This does increase safety, because it frees up the pilot(s) from having to carefully maintain a st

The way to go with this is to still use a grid, but make the row/col values be css variables ( "var(--foo)" ) instead of fixed values. Then you can update the value of just that variable from JS, and the grid will reflect it.

They usually have an offset and a DST option. So in Arizona you'd choose -7/Off, and never touch it again. In Colorado you'll have to toggle DST twice a year manually, because it doesn't know the rules for when it start

Traversing a rectangle of grass at 2mph in a backyard is absurdly simpler than self-driving cars on open roads, and the absolute worst-case is something like a foot or pet injury. There are multiple companies that already sell automatic law

That was the '60s, and the amount of risk accepted and stability of funding were completely different worlds. The entirety of first flight (Apollo 4) to first landing (11) was 20 months. Today just development of the SLS has been going

The product that came from this project (Empeg/Rio Car) was/is actually quite nice and well thought out for navigating while driving and minimal looking at the screen. Physical buttons and a rotary encoder with detents so you kno

Nothing says you HAVE to pay 6%. In at least most places you can submit the paperwork to your county/state recorder & transfer money between each other completely outside of "the system" for a few dollars. And/or hi

Civilian planes do not go 1000kts or up to 60,000'. Your phone GPS works fine in a plane as long as it can see enough satellites (pick a window seat).

You do, you can try it with updating your find my location without an actual emergency. It tells you where to point/hold and when it's done. The emergency texting is also 2-way.

Yes a new DA40NG is around $600k, as is a new Cessna 172. A new DA62 is well into $1.5m with the options you'd want if spending that kind of money, and a 2-year wait last I heard. Meanwhile you could build something like a Velocity V-

Guessing you meant 6-pack/steam-gauge trainer, since anything with a G1000 put in is virtually guaranteed to be IFR-capable. There's no hard requirement to learn one versus the other. If you're a new student today and lookin

I think it's just an "everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth" situation. In an actual emergency some people react well and go back to their training, others panic & freeze up. And it's hard to pred

That link is what are normally called vanity nameservers. That allows "branding" them so that "dig NS foo.com" says ns1.foo.com and ns2.foo.com instead of pinky.ns.cloudflare.com and brain.ns.cloudflare.com. But CloudF

There's only so much you can spend on a bag of helium; anything is cheap compared to satellites or stealth long range recon aircraft.

There are only 3 suffixes, so if there are 4 or more parallel runways one will get the "wrong" number, like 2/3L/3C/3R.

Experienced captains at the major ("legacy") airlines make considerably more than you think. Up to ~$350 per hour (plus benefits, retirement, etc.) On the other hand, salaries are VERY back-loaded towards the end of their career.

(Acorn cofounder) We largely agree ourselves (so much we wrote Rancher 1.x with its own simpler runtime, before k8s took over the world). But that's the obvious runtime the market is interested in right now. So what we are focusing o

As I said the other two places you posted about this, we spent a lot of time testing starting with vanilla CUE and concluded less would be more. You disagree, that's fine. Again if there's an Acornfile still called .cue somewhere

by V99 4y ago
The user-facing file is called "Acornfile", with no extension at all. We do not use .cue for anything a user would see. You're looking at files that are an internal implementation detail (and are valid CUE).

The 'lower end of that range' is $500, and you'll definitely spend that if you're buying a wedding dress.

That is exactly how npm works. Except instead of one at least somewhat-aligned group of maintainers of a Linux distro trying to keep things under control, you have a much larger set of packages individually maintained (or abandoned) by tot

That is totally true and those may be great for the growth of the company. But as the parent was saying they are generally worse for the day-to-day job of the old-guard employees, and that's why most of them leave soon after.
