Was thinking about this in reference to yesterday's post of the Grace Hopper nanosecond video, couldn't think of another US Naval vessel named for a woman, and found this -- which is quite a trip down memory lane for an old Navy g

I know all the ATC types I knew in the military were looking at pretty lucrative careers when they left active duty.

The SR-71's "speeds" are not classified. You can even download the long ago declassified manual that says what the max mach number it can display is. The actual top speed might still be, if it is, it's probably because

The SR-71's top speed is still classified to this day, partly because they probably still don't know what it was, because nobody ever got one there. Shul's plane was cruising probably far below max speed (the number wasn&#

Posted pretty regularly here, it's a great talk. She was a true treasure to the CS world and to the Navy.

I must have misread something, but those numbers don't make any sense. That article must be misunderstanding what the contract actually is. F18s cost only a little more than a third of that per unit.

It’s 4 vehicles. That’s basically an R&D program, not a procurement. They’re paying Boeing to learn how to build them.

"electronically jamming a modern fighter" isn't going to do anything to its flight controls. You're correct that flight computers are generally required to keep dynamically unstable aircraft flying -- but that's don

Suspect that includes all the R&D amortized over the couple of vehicles that have been built. The actual device if it's ever fielded wouldn't be anywhere near that price.

That's also a fair point in a slightly different manner as well -- Soldiers on patrol are heavily supervised. They have an officer and usually a relatively senior NCO who directs the majority of their actions. LOTS of accountability t

Anecdotally of course, most of the MPs I’ve known act much like the civilian police and are trained much like them. My father was an MP.

As a 23 year veteran, I can tell you that statement is missing a ton of context, and almost certainly is very inaccurate. Most people in the military rarely if ever touch a firearm for their entire time in the military after they qualify wi

Every modern fighter jet does this, because they're all aerodynamically unstable.

It was perfectly compatible with existing runaway trim checklist. The problem was that the pilots didn't recognize it as runaway trim, in part due to pilot error and in part due to the fact they weren't told the capacity for this

I doubt that any judge would allow that to even be brought up in a trial. If it were, it would probably be an appealable issue that would get the case thrown out.

I agree. Waterfall is primarily a discussion point on why Agile is the way to go -- hence an anti pattern. Nobody actually does waterfall.

That's not waterfall.

by jki275 6y ago
You’ve described waterfall accurately, but waterfall is kind of an anti-pattern. Nobody actually uses it.

I think you could actually do that. You can run your own code, Apple doesn't actually care what you run if you have a dev account and are compiling your own stuff to put on your machine. So what's to stop you from installing an

Right - epic isn’t going to give you the source. But you can run anything you can build. Building a good Xcode project is as simple as pushing the “open in Xcode” button on github and pushing build. Obviously not all projects are that nice.

It only does that for end users who don't want to run the commands necessary to turn all that off. It's mildly annoying, but it doesn't restrict what I as a dev can do with my Macs.

And you can do that just fine. You just can't tell them how to curate the App Store.

You can run pretty much any code on your iPad and iPhone that you want. You do need to pay your 99 bucks or so for a dev account, but you can run anything you can build for your iOS devices that way. There is no "locked down attitude&

One of the crew members was injured. It would be difficult to bring down a helicopter with small arms, but the crew inside are definitely vulnerable, probably more so over Manassas VA than they would be overseas as they're not looking
