OP, you’re setting yourself up to fail. Stop being so different and try to match what companies are looking for. Remote only. Single letter surname. This constraint, that constraint, you’re getting the answer you are telling the market to g

Go back to the source, use Smalltalk in a nice environment like VisualWorks and get all that built in :-)

That’s pretty startling to hear. As a child growing up in a london suburb we would disappear for hours to the local park and environs. Playing cricket, other games, or just roaming around. About the only supervision was if the dog came too.

On no. 4, it's when things hit the fan and people get overloaded that they revert to basics and don't take in complex information well. Particularly if they don't have regular relevant training/experience. Having the c

I think you’re trying to solve the wrong problem, though with a lot of the right tech. Basic stick and rudder skills aren’t that hard, save perhaps for crosswind landing/takeoff. Envelope protection and emergency auto land are good, bu

Seem to remember xterm also did tektronix. Haven’t looked at the source for 35 years / x11r5 but should be doable.

Not possible if you like in the sticks and want to live a normal life. Major metropolis with lots of public transport infrastructure and an Uber only 5 minutes away at 3am, sure. Personal experience both.

Back in the day, when you could also blag a jump seat ride in the cockpit, nuclear plants used to do tours. Had a fascinating afternoon once in the Wylfa plant in Anglesey that included walking over the top and seeing the refuelling gear.

This +++. Most important parameter is AoA and we only have poor proxy for it in most GA. Nuts

I’ve got a few hundred hours in the usual pipers and light twin, but I’d say I never really learned about flying, and particularly “flying the wing” until I got into aerobatics and deliberately upsetting the aircraft. It’s priceless learni

Have to say with my background individual room control and measurement always seemed the nirvana, but it seems like a lot of heating design is moving away from this to more constant input / constant loss with outside temperature curve

Not convinced. The second reference has a slight Indian accent that isn’t carried over into the generated samples. Training data bias?

Forgive my skepticism, but I seem to recall pulse jets have almost no throttle ability (hence the dead stick landing) and pretty poor fuel efficiency (v low compression / pressure ratio). Then there's the sound and IR signature. S

Similar - 2021 MBP 16". splash of red wine on the keyboard and despite all the usual solutions a few keys don't work. Works fine with external keyboard. Apple Store: we can send it away to be fixed but you must agree to a charge
