In order to sell insurance (basically any type) to people in say New York, you need the to follow the insurance laws of that state. This will have all sorts of weird paperwork and rules that are different from any other state in the country

Austin Meyer did help on an actual autoland device that was based on the same concept: the VP-400 by Vertical Power. But I'm not sure it ever went anywhere. In theory with that system, you could push the "oh-shit" button if

There even exists software for auto-planning a route for a dead stick landing: Xavion, by the author of x-plane. I seem to remember reading like 4 or more years ago, that there was an experimental autoland system actually powered by that so

I read in one of the issues that it was Marketing that wanted Pendo tracking. (I'm guessing marketing mainly wanted it for gitlab.com). In one place I saw a developer basically say Pendo is marketing's, and product is only interes

Would you be happier with the following? <button @click=increment> That is legal (or at least it is supposed to be, I've not tested it), but is not really different. This part of Vue parsing is dictated by the whatwg html specifi

For things like those broken links on docs.microsoft.com, you can file an issue (using the on page feedback tool, which generates github issues), or even send a pull request to the docs: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs&#x2F

A few problems with that. This was never just a moderator code of conduct, but a change to the regular code of conduct for all users. It was just revealed to moderators early. (And with the clear statement that it applied to them immediatel

A good ranked choice system like Schulze, avoids that issue. You can give multiple people the same rank, to express no preference between them. So you could have two or more choices you don't want to express an opinion between both mar

"They" has been used continuously for the singular since 1300. It has literally never died out, despite protests from grammatical prescriptivists beginning around 1795. Even Shakespeare used singular they, but this would have been

Yeah. Consider that the MSRP for the original legend of Zelda for the NES was $49.99 in 1986. This title took a team of ~7 people ~2 years, and several team members spent 5-7 months of that time also working on Super Mario Brothers, so it w

Small time farmers seem to be a lot more likely to know these sorts of skills, because it allows them to save an obscene amount of money on specialty equipment by modifying something inexpensive to do the job. When the commercial offerings

It is worth noting that the key to this is that the language is designed so that even the synchronous appearing APIs for things like file IO actually use the non-blocking system calls under the hood, so that the OS thread does not get block

AssemblyLoadContext with assembly unloading is not at all compatible with .NET Framework 4.X, which can be a pain if you want to gradually migrate stuff. Also it does not have anywhere near the same level of isolation, which is part of what

Technically it is only form factor. The common CR2032 coin cell uses the same number system. The first 2 digits are the diameter in millimeters, the remaining digits are the height in tenths of milimeters. So a CR2032 is 20mm across and 3.2

Remoting/app domains/Code access security were ripped out of the .NET Core codebase, and there is really not much of a chance of them returning. The CoreFX codebase has systematically removed all the code needed for things to safe

Well the traditional options for dealing with a criminal corporation are disbanding the corporation, nationalizing it, or fining it. Fines don't work as well as would be desired, as sometimes it can still be profitable, except for craz

Well git can most certainly have multiple separate history trees within one repository that are all technically unreleated. One could even use the existing submodule feature to reference unrelated history in the same repository, but the sub

My understanding is that attitude is only a reasonable approximation of Angle of attack (assuming winds are parallel to the ground) if you are in level flight. My understanding is that with still air, AOA is basically the difference between

Interesting. So would there really only be a fixed set of existing objects, and the interaction layer of the program would be simply a function that is applied to messages passed between the objects? The message that is actually left gets s

For a similar concept, the US offers a Passport Card, which is a Federal Photo ID card, that is legally considered a passport by domestic law, but other countries may disagree. It can be used to enter Canada, Mexico, The Caribbean, and Berm

I see two main reasons for all the JVM languages. 1. People trying to make programming in the java ecosystem less painful. (Java-the-language was stagnant for so long that this was the main way improvements could be made). 2. People who wan
