Yeah, the US and Canada are fantastic exceptions to the normal rule of making aeronautical information impossible to find and use. It really sucks that GA is so much more rare outside of North America. For all the bitching we do about the F

No you need your basic sixpack. The radar altimeter might do but it only tells you your altitude in reference to the height of the stuff under you and most only up to 2500 ft. In terms of survival, I would want at minimum an artificial hor

No. You absolutely need instruments. Flying IFR without instruments is an absolutely sure fire way to get killed. You can't fly straight and level without an artificial horizon. You don't know if you're descending without, at

The Plan 9 compilers work exactly like this, every compile is a cross-compile. It's extremely convenient because you can do all of your builds on your really fast machine for all of your other machines or if you're using a slow ma

I'm still hesitant to agree that we caused the mammoth extinction. There just weren't enough people at the time to do it with the technology we had, especially in places that lack enough cliffs.

I disagree here. You're dangerous until you know you know what you're doing. Having a bad scare might make you not repeat that situation, but you're still just as dumb after it as you were before (well, at least that's b

True you don't, but they are easier on some level and give you no real escape once you commit to taking them. Sitting down and putting the work in is certainly as effective, but you can bail on committing to that where as there is no e

That depends. AFAIK, if its prescribed to you and you give it to someone else, that's illegal whether or not its scheduled. Otherwise, if it isn't scheduled, there's no real legal issue there. Drug testing in the US is insane

Things like that come from "cultural contact" which can be peaceful or violent.

You can do it in swedish in a similar way, so I would think this is possible, too, in norwegian (the languages are really quite similar).

Fentanyl is a thing also because it's easier to make than heroin because the reactants needed are easier to get your hands on, therefore cheaper for the dealer's/cartel's/gang's chemists to make. On the more po

Well tube amps do actually need to warm up, but people think it takes minutes to hours for them to warm up when it really takes like 2 to 5 seconds. That, I think, comes from a lack of knowledge about how tubes work and the general cargo cu

Actually it's not as bad as it looks at first glance. At least on OpenVMS, you normally use it like sed, and its not much worse than writing some regex, normally. Granted, writing a text editor in regex sounds awful.

APFS can't provide the stability that ZFS does because it hasn't been beaten on for long enough yet. I have a hard time trusting a new filesystem to store anything remotely important until its been beaten on long enough to find ma

Yes, bit rot happens all the time. Normally the drive its self catches and repairs these errors, but sometimes they slip through and become the filesystems problem. It doesn't really happen super often, but the fact that it happens at

That and the higher efficiency of diesels (assuming you're talking about little planes). Still it's a really long road ahead. For GA aircraft I think a better solution right now is a drop in replacement for 100LL (which is getting

A shell is a shell for the most part. The details can be a bit different (like your $PATH), but otherwise its largely the same.

If its for the broadcom cards that's probably still a negative. I was running 11-CURRENT up until the release freeze and it never started working. That being said, it wouldn't surprise me if Adrian has it working by now.

Yeah, thats correct. The some (most?) of the first series (merced) of itaniums had hardware to help accelerate the emulation of x86 instructions. I don't know about the later iterations of it though as I've only run OpenVMS on the

I'm not a climate change denialist, but I am a climate change optimist. I think it would be possible to cap things off at two degrees, but we would have to start sucking CO2 out of the atmosphere and doing something with it (like big t

But then prosecutors would be much less willing to take acceptable risk when called for because the punishments are so draconian. That being said, letting a dangerous criminal free is much better than having a single innocent incarcerated.

Sovereign immunity is a mixed bag. It protects police, judges, prosecutors, etc from having frivolous or retaliatory lawsuits filed against them by persons with a grudge. On the other hand though, it lessens accountability because someone w
