Many of them have been upgraded. In the US, we've replaced HOST (the old ATC backend system) with ERAM (the modern replacement) as of 2015. However, you have to remember this is a global problem. You need to maintain 100% backwards com

Yes, FPL messages are sent over AFTN, which uses ITA-2 Baudot code instead of ASCII: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baudot_code The keyboards used by ATC don't even allow entering symbols: https://www.re

That's a false dichotomy. You can still travel at 50mph with air conditioning (in a car) either way. In fact, building proper bike lanes doesn't mean you can't have self driving cars too. It just means the people who didn&#x2

The real impact of traffic tickets has always been the increased insurance rates, and after enough points you lose your license. The fine is practically meaningless compared to what it does to your insurance rates.

The ice cream was a lie. After I had my tonsils removed, even the thought of solid food was out of the question. It was just too painful. You can have as much ice cream as you want. What they don't tell you is you won't want any.

This isn't a Costco-specific thing. HP printers come in an "e" model, which requires an Instant Ink subscription (but is cheaper - effectively subsidized by the subscription), and a non-"e" model that is unlocked (b

I thought Check 21 (enacted back in 2003) was supposed to eliminate that, allowing digital check images to substitute for physical copies during the clearing process. My understanding was banks (or even sometimes merchants) just scan in the

Cargo bikes are great, but when I think of "hauling things" I think of items much larger than would ever fit there. You're not going to haul lumber or sheet metal in a cargo bike, and that's the easy case.

I have regretfully killed multiple phones by getting into a pool without realizing I still had my (non-waterproof) phone in my pocket. But outside my own forgetfulness, many people work outside in climates where heavy rain or snow is common

> Monk Fruit has also been linked to cancer. Do you have a citation for that? Google search is telling me the exact opposite, that it seems to reduce cancer growth.

It literally is at the discretion of the investigators. See 49 CFR 831.12(b): "§ 831.12 Access to and release of wreckage, records, mail, and cargo (a) Only persons authorized by the NTSB IIC may be permitted access to wreckage, record

Apparently the wasm code fetches it directly, and I just needed to look at the network traffic. I figured I was missing something obvious!

Yes, it was. I'm trying to figure out how to do it myself. :)

Looking at the grimacesbirthday.com, I'm trying to figure out someone extracted a GameBoy ROM from that page. It looks like everything is implemented inside a WASM blob, containing what looks like binjgb (based on the strings). I'

Checking my logs from the CZU Fire Complex back in 2020, the AQI at my house in the SF Peninsula topped out at 766. It was pretty bad.

Back in 2020, the AQI at my house in the SF Bay Area hit 800. (I was directly downwind from the CZU Lightning Complex fire.) To say that was bad was an understatement . I had to seal up every door and window to my house with plastic, then

Just stick with laser printers and you're fine, even with HP. The problems all seem to be on the inkjet side. Aside from needing to print photos... laser printers are cheaper, more reliable, have higher quality output, and don't n

That's not new. The entire printer industry has been doing that for well over a decade, at least with laser printers.

SSH/API works fine too. My point is more that the web interface isn't the best option. Take your pick of the others. :)

Bonjour is built on top of DNS. You don't need a layer 2 tunnel to make it work. However, it normally does rely on multicast. Rather than trying to bridge broadcast domains (which is going to cause performance issues), a more efficient
