I think the standard for marine radars on oil installations around here (norsok) was to be able to detect a large steel target at 25 nm. It is now 8 years since I worked with it last time and 1000m2 sounds very large to me but that is the o

My take is it is either: - a foreign adversary toying with US Air Force finally getting to taste the sharp end of it - or some secret USAF experiment getting out of hand - USAF putting on a show - something else

Maybe, but I think C# has the advantage that "everyone" knows it or Java so it is trivial to get started. Last I checked, admittedly a couple of years ago, starting with F# wasn't absolutely trivial.

As a kid who grew up on a small (by Norwegian standards) dairy farm I remember it confused me that food waste couldn't be sold to farms. As a grown up, seeing all the stuff people put into food waste I can understand it. What I still c

Many continued to use Altavista or something until a friendly sysadmin or another early user showed them Google. Same with IE, if no one showed them Firefox they just stuck with IE.

For me it is not a problem with ordinary searches: directions, recipes etc, no problem. But try to find a specific error message from an npm package! First you get useless results because Google found something it rather wanted to show you.

I stopped using google a while ago, but try searching for something unusual, add doublequotes around it and notice how your search engine blatantly ignores double quotes (and even your verbatim operator) in order to inflate results. This co

Maybe because we were early power users and knew how well it used to work?

A customer of mine lost 3 Dell Optiplex DL 270 used as POS terminals seemingly in a few hours just over new year one year around that time. That turned out to be just the start as every one of these machines seemed to fail given enough time

I haven't tested it but I know Kotlin.js exist and you can use it with React. It wouldn't surprise me if it is good but at the moment TS is good enough and "everyone" knows it.

The syntax is very similar on the surface, at least compared to Perl, PHP, Python, C and - I would personally say - C++ and a number of other languages. Yes, there is no way you'd mistake one for another if you have worked in any of th

You misunderstood it : ) I love Java and despise Javascript. In my opinion it is up there with null and other billion dollar mistakes. The language only works as well as it does because hundreds of people smarter than me have spent hundreds

Totally fine with me. If you don't need my advice you can save a lot of money by not hiring me. Edit: The reason why people hire me as a consultant is hopefully because I give clear and valuable advice, and on JS/TS, if TS doesn&#

Short answer: It is worth it if you want me on the team. I refuse to work with anyone who throws out TS for JS in 2023. Slightly longer answer: I have said a number of times "Javascript is a simple version of Java in the same way
