Perhaps I don't understand the whole keyserver concept... But how is a keyserver not a centralised "IdP" like construct?

This seems to be a schism of some kind. Scenario 1: Ruby dev with problem while developing something in ruby: Ahh, There's a gem for that! Scenario 2: <other language> dev trying something in Java: Why isn't this in the std

No... #emacs is not lenient... It's just that everything is applicable to Emacs and vice-verse. ;-)

since the flightplan shows a certain number of lat/long style waypoints you can assume they did this. Entering arcs in the FMS is somewhat possible (by approximation, i.e. multiple FIX<radial>/<distance> points); but e

And you can almost double that number to take t/o and landing into account.

In theory you're right; but on the scale they flew this pattern; maintaining a constant heading will look like a straight line. Also, as mentioned in other replies; the map projection has a big impact on this (e.g. A lambert projection

Cannot agree more with you on that last comment. I personally think - and hope, as a full-time Ruby dev at this moment - that Ruby will "recide" (big quotes here) to a more "humble" spot as a glue language; i.e. Perl&#x2

Having had the pleasure of working for RyanAir myself I can only say that they run a very efficient operation. Every part of the process is structured for time efficiency (yes, this includes the pre-queue ;-)). Can't say anything bad a

Awry as in: there recently was a case in which a doctor disregarded protocols in several cases; this was undetected for quite a while. This always leads to discussions here in NL, not about euthanasia practice in general, but about the amou

It's actually regulated quite well here in te Netherlands. Strict protocols to follow by at least two "independant" doctors. Doesn't mean stuff never goes "awry" though.

Just signed up for the Berlin event; would be my first time at an Apple event so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. For people who have attended a previous event: How long before the actual events did you get your invite?

Sure. There's a lot of whining going on. But aspiring pilots (at least in the EU) basically don't stand a chance. Most Ab-initio's (as they're supposedly called) have student loans in the range of 130-170k and - if they&

While being true, not all Seat configurations are automatically approved for operation. The swapping itself can - as mentioned - be performed overnight.

This was exactly my first thought When I came back to the software industry: "IF I mess up, at least I will not kill 195 people".

Yes it does ;) Pivoting in the airline business is difficult, changing from planes to boats is cumbersome; scaling is the only option. (And my planes scaled from toy size to 1:1)

by bulte-rs 13y ago
The problem with wet leasing is that it doesn't scale. Try operating an airline with 300 planes under wet-lease and still make a profit.

If you are able to design one that passes all FAA/EASA/CAA/<aeronautical regulatory body here> certifications, I think ALL airplane builders will hail you as their saviour. Not to mention the airlines ;-)

by bulte-rs 13y ago
Problem with this is that airplane configurations are not easily changed; and accomodating 3 different sizes of seats with the risk of having to sell bigger seats for lower prices.... is not worth taking for most airlines (especially low-co

by bulte-rs 13y ago
Even an airplane that is leased is built on specs by the "end-user"; analogue to a house which owned by the bank (by mortgage).

This is only because "regular people"/travelers are not used to alphanumeric flight "numbers". As highlighted in this article: change can be hard.

So the difference between Math and Physics can be described as a single rotation matrix?

Next to some planes having electronicaketen checklists; some "older planes" have a somewhat simpler form of digital checks. For example: the 737-800 has a take-off configuration warning (a Horn) When the thrust levers are advanced

Awesome!!! Never knew it actually operates over TCP/IP, I always assumed some custom protocol/ARINC interop between the two units. Can you perhaps elaborate in some way on the dev environment When working on "stuff like that&

All comes down to UX. Simple example: the switches for the lights are oriented to turning them on is the same as pushing them forward (I.e. The direction the lights point in).

Out of interest: which part of the fms did you build? And thanks: I lovend working with it.
