Depending on the context 2x is within the realm of reasonable for things like aircraft. But yeah for stuff like bridges you're probably looking at something closer to 20x

The space shuttle was known to be a borderline death trap (the platform was temperamental at best, the abort maneuvers for several segments of the launch were laughable, it was considered to be a flying brick, it couldn't do go-arounds

"even NASA" implies that NASA is the objective paragon of software development. There are many ways to develop software, and while I have never worked for NASA I can virtually guarantee that their development process is not the sa

I will never agree to a take home assignment unless the company agrees to a debrief. A (reputable) company asked for a take home assignment after a "group interview" as a college hire, and as a college hire I didn't know to t

Depends on how you word the question. If you say the helicopter is flying 10 feet over the park, by the rules of this game it's objectively not a violation. If you say it's 10 feet above the ground inside the park, objectively a v

Ignoring the fact that many of the corner crossing cases were bad faith arguments by landowners intentionally attempting to abuse the situation, I don't think anyone would argue that the park boundary is a prism that extends vertically

That hypothetical airspace is restricted due to it being a military base... Which means you're applying other rules beyond what's written

by flaminHotSpeedo 3y ago
The instructions beforehand were very clear that you should answer whether the scenario violated the rule, not whether it should be allowed. I suppose that's the beauty, intentional or not, of this exercise... Since the point was to hi

No, you missed the point entirely. The question was whether the scenario is a violation but the answers were not labeled accordingly. For an exercise that is, by it's own admission, pedantic by design that's a pretty glaring fault

From anecdotal evidence, the few search and rescue units I've been involved with (all non-technical volunteer units) have been overwhelming against charging subjects, at least as a general rule. But the considerations for something lik

Strictly speaking I think it was buoys dropped from aircraft, it's not a listening device on the aircraft itself

I think the reality is that computer science is only tangentially useful preparations for a career as a software engineer. There's some courses that are inarguably fundamental, some which "separate the good from the bad," but

The fact that you cannot interact with the real world without wrapping side effects is sufficient justification that OOP is easier to teach, IMO. I'm a strong proponent of FP and agree (though I recognize I may be biased) that it'

I recognize this probably wasn't your intention but it doesn't do anyone any favors to normalize toxic behavior. Yes "bro-y" coworkers exist but reinforcing curious behavior is preferable to normalizing wage slave medioc

Autodesk has the honor of being one of the few companies that are so shitty I'm _happy_ to pay money to their competitors. I paid for a full solidworks license for a year (before discovering the makers license) and grumbled only mildly

I think a major factor in the scope of this blackout is that there's a lot of 3p mod tools that, per my second hand understanding, are somewhere between "significant QOL improvement" and "indispensable". So even mod

The point is that their container offering recognizes, correctly, that containers aren't a secure isolation boundary so unless there's internal only ec2 instance sizes (which seems unlikely, but I could be wrong) they used to wast

And if there was a hot (as in frequently used) drive it would still heat up (as in temperature). But I guess the other commenters point might be valid if you run a datacenter in a blast chiller

Hyper-V has been around for a while, did Azure just not get the memo until recently?

It's not a mistake unique to Azure, Alibaba had a vulnerability make the news rounds recently where container escapes led to cross tenant access. There's two types of cloud providers, the ones who take security seriously and the o

Agreed. Per tests others have run, that small of a lambda gets 0.5 vCPU or potentially even less?

Scale of impact, scope of impact, and duration of impact are orthogonal. Conflating them makes productive discussion impossible, IMO. But back to the point, philosophically I agree, but practically I don't. IMO having SLA's and en

It absolutely does matter. The MTTR for outages caused by physical damage is way higher, and resiliency against physical disasters is a major selling point of availability zones as a fault container. Hosting every zone of your region (if th

There's a number of valid arguments for why the plane tracker may not be doxxing, and a couple tenuous, but valid arguments for why to ban the plane tracker account. But no matter how you slice it, this account (and it's owner&#x2
