Even without that when you fire tens of thousands of civil servants and cancel billions in grants that’s a lot of money which was supposed to flow through the economy and does not.

Afaik all analysis of the max’s design have come to the conclusion that its natural behaviour was nothing special or dangerous. It’s just that in some edge cases the nose would lift faster than on an NG, and that was not acceptable if it wa

The A220 is unrelated to the Neo. The Neos are re-engining of the 320 and 330 series (neo stands for "new engine option"): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_A320neo_family And while a plane with good bones

While not great, the MAX would have been fine if Boeing (and their airlines) had not clung so hard to the type rating. Without that, MCAS could have been left out entirely alongside its utterly botched implementation. But that would have re

You could say that abstraction is a step or a ladder: by climbing on an abstraction you can see new goals and opportunities, possibly out of reach until you build yet new steps.

No, the reason they removed it from mainline is that the maintainer has proved (yet again) incapable of working with others if they can't get their way: https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAHk-=wi+k8E4kWR8c-nREP0+EA4D+=r.

It was not removed due to instability but due to the maintainer’s inability to respect guidelines set by others when they don’t personally agree. This is not the first project for which this was an issue, and said maintainer has shown no wi

On a theoretical basis yes but a tracking array gets a lot more expensive, and a lot less reliable. The rotating circle also takes a huge amount of ground space.

It’s way easier if you think of the indexes as tuple keys in a binary tree. Because they’re tuple keys in a b-tree. That also explains how ranges work efficiently.

I would assume it’s whichever gives the highest number which is usually going to be the internal voltage. For instance I have a 20000mAh power bank which also has a 74Wh capacity printed on, a conversion factor of 3.7V matching li-ion chemi

> Watthours is more important than amp hours Although that is completely true, pretty much all discussion, speccing, and marketing of batteries and power banks is done in Ah. So the article working in that unit is logical and consistent.

Phones and tablets are designed for passive cooling. And not always well to boot, but you can at least assume they didn’t design for elements with ancillary active cooling.

All the legacy time zones were moved out of the default zoneinfo install. It’s not a us-specific issue but the legacy US/ timezones remain in widespread use, and they stop working on Debian 13 ootb (possibly Ubuntu noble as well?).
