I'm surprised about this, I thought it's pretty easy to add ADS-B to modern IFF module and they can just switch between different modes.

I also have a similar feeling. Though I think OP is talking about open source contributions which might be different from more casual forums and IRC.

With my past experience in Khronos, NVIDIA is indeed a member and they sent decent guys to the meetings -- but only for strategic reasons, rather than "advocating for open standards" as you described. My experiences there actually

A similar tool I highly recommend: https://github.com/justanhduc/task-spooler At first I thought it would just be a one-off tool I used for one of my projects, not until I discovered later that it has everything I need

compare to Boeing's volume? maybe, but Airbus is one of _Europe_'s largest defense contractors

I know many tropical countries have successful stories fighting mosquitos by simply removing every single place that might contain water: ponds, flower pots etc.

Motorola 68k has this kind of aligned variable length instructions (in their case it’s always aligned on 16 bit boundaries). It’s not super difficult to support this in compilers though

not sure what you trying to get, but hundreds if not thousands of universities are working closely with DARPA, which is an DoD agency that sponsors mostly high-level and non-classified researches. Many of the researches have weak connection

> writing a full OS in Java IMAO, Android kind of achieve that...kind of. They write lots of OS logics in Java (or Kotlin) but mixing lots of system services written in native code at the same time, interconnected by the famous (or infam

Highly recommend reading "Skunk Works: A Personal Memoir of My Years at Lockheed", written by the father of F117, Ben Rich. It detailed the history of creating NightHawk as well as other famous aircrafts like U-2 and BlackBird(A-1

getting phd at 27 is suuuper early. Granted, friends might start to work at 23 or 25-ish but we're talking about a doctoral degree, which makes a visible difference on job hunting in the field of computer science I'm in.

I thought it's the opposite: MasterCard has much wider global coverage compared to American Express.

that's my impression too. The reward is mediocre to say the least, but it's super convenient by optimizing the most common path: payment in a single click on the dashboard and real-time activity feed. And the killer feature: autof

Jellyfin is my jam, it just works. Its administration interface is intuitive, pretty solid, personally I think the dashboard looks good aesthetically, and most importantly it’s open source so if anything is broken I can just fix it myself.

Similar things happened on military aircraft too: I remember ~2yrs ago a gigantic C-17 mistaken a tiny airport near San Fransisco as an AF base located not far away.

another follow-up, slightly tangent question: how does F-35's helmet do that without blocking all the lights?

I didn’t know they put pre-VCS GCC on their own server. Thanks for pointing out!

Airbus is also using either seL4 or some other microkernels in aerospace applications.

Glad that the concept of compiler driver gets more exposures. "The `gcc` program itself is actually not a compiler...but a compiler driver" [1] is one of my favorite things to tell newbie compiler engineers. [1]: Clang, on the oth
