This is the old Mac style too. Might just be my upbringing but I prefer it.

Making symbols and the occasional footprint is a fact of life, I'm afraid. Sometimes you can download them from the vendor, or in a pinch, SnapEDA, but chances are you'll want to modify them anyway.

Hot-desking is awful. I was going to say it's the worst of both worlds, but it's actually even worse than that. You're not around your teammates, you can't "move in" to your desk, and you have to commute. Hones

It's a bit more complicated than that. The routes I'm talking about are the North Atlantic Tracks, which are used for most traffic between North America and Europe. There are multiple tracks and SLOP is used within each track. All

Yes, it's called the navigation paradox, and it mostly came about with the advent of GPS. It's the reason we now have what's called "strategic lateral offset procedure," or SLOP, whereby aircraft on heavily traffick

The International Date Line and the 180-degree line of longitude have bitten a _lot_ of folks who don't think to test at the boundaries.

"Paper doesn't provide GPS" - spoken like a child of the magenta line! ;) Paper provides the VOR frequencies and visual navigation info, and approach procedures if you're really in a bind. It's also cheaper than a s

For me personally paper is indispensable as a design tool for sketching out complex systems. I "think" more clearly on paper than I do with any digital tool I've used. In an aviation context I mostly use an iPad these days (l

A friend works in environmental science and his advice when it comes to cars and climate is to keep your car for as long as possible, regardless of gas vs. electric. Obviously YMMV but generally speaking the emissions "cost" of ma

Pilots don't eject from controllable aircraft. If the pilot ejected, remote control won't help.

Seeing as how they're closing because they can't afford to stay open, I'd imagine the money will go to bills.

When Uber started it was black cars only. Very, very different experience.

Just heard about this on the radio. It works as a nasal spray, and was approved back in the 1970s when medical trials were different than they are now (in some way that the radio show guest, a professor of pharmacy, didn't explain). It

They go out of their way to make new words rather than borrowing. Or at least they used to. That may have started to change in more recent times.

Seriously. Machine-readable semver is a pipe dream. You're relying on everyone else getting it right every single time. At best it's an indication of a maintainer's intention. But it's not a substitute for QA; if your de

Jets (and turboprops) don't use leaded fuel, they use kerosene. You're thinking of light aircraft with reciprocating engines.

At airports we call the smell of burning kerosene "the sweet smell of success."

Has anyone tested whether losing a job this way is legally considered "not at fault" for purposes of unemployment benefits? (Obviously this may vary by state.)
