The new interfaces out of Garmin avionics are all touch screen based. They did wise up and add a knob and reference bumps around the screen. Still, scary to think I'd be looking at a screen when landing a plane outside of IFR flights.

I, personally hate white nationalists, as they devalue everything good and decent. I also fully support the first amendment. I want to see them shut up but I'll be damned if a law is passed that forces it. Bias needs to be stamped out

There are many job postings, payment forms(!?) and financial websites that only work properly in Firefox. The best part is, for job postings, it's a great "not going to work there" filter.

There's a good article I can't find that shows that the things you need are the things that have risen in cost the most while the things you want have risen the least. Hence, the inflation rating actually tracks only the homes you

I love these but I've also seen in some of the implementations that I care about a bit of benchmark gaming. That saddens me and I wonder just how much of it is happening in languages and frameworks that I don't follow.

They're actively monitoring the CIA, FBI, and NSA because as far as large state actors go, these are very dangerous groups. Why shouldn't they look at every government spy agency including us if their job is to actually protect th

First thing I looked at was "did they implement git diff?" The answer is "no." That's something you're going to want to see in a port. I use it daily.

What's wrong with something that's decades old? Bash is great for command line and small scripts. It's once you surpass 100 lines where things get problematic. At that point, you're not writing a shell script, you'r

That's probably a good business strategy for the future of Maps. The fewer clients you have, the more focused you can be in terms of product development and pricing. This is true in many businesses, actually.

Yes, it's worth "supporting" Firefox. Just like it's worth it to "support" a standards compatible web browser. I swear we're going backwards in time to IE6 days when everyone built for just one browser and

Whoa, whoa, whoa. If you're building a serverless app, you don't start with Flask. You start with the lambda and plain old Python. Seriously, what he wrote basically said he tried to build to a construct which lambda isn't me

As you say it will only be used against the bad guys, until if isn't. Like civil forfeiture, which originally targeted dig dealers, it week expands over time to be anything and everything that runs afowl of some interest.

For those that weren't around in the 90s, this is exactly what happened. These down votes reflect a perception of the present without a context for the past. The Web was a _very_ different place 25 years ago.

This definitely changes the tone of things. That's pure discrimination. It would be one thing to set quotas that favor a group, it's another to exclude any group at all. Sounds like someone above the manager is responsible for thi

It was an open secret at my school. We knew which teachers were which and passed down the "secrets" of how to exist in certain classrooms. I'm sure there was similar feelings on the other side. When you're young, you ten

...and large companies still use stack ranking to judge whom of their employees to keep and which to fire. Just 'cause someone very big is doing it, doesn't mean it's right.

The best ecosystem out there? Since when? I'd say that Java and Python have huge, wonderful and full ecosystems. Golang doesn't even come close to that, yet. Furthermore, Golang doesn't even have a community standard (or sev

Other than the fact that the author clearly views any means by which people can communicate electronically in total privacy as a form of "extremism" he does highlight some scary stuff. It really is only a matter of time before som

Yes but no one actually gathers the proper metrics. Moreover, no one is large enough to gather meaningful metrics. Finally, for those that are and potentially do, they still seem to gravitate to "implement this algorithm which we could

The sad thing that they will learn which my wife's school learnt was that, as a union employee, you are no longer a student. That is, all the tax breaks, ability to not pay SS, etc. all those fees come right back. In the end, they rais

Oh, I've heard "Python is slow" from Node folks, Java folks, Scala folks (in terms of productivity) and of course, die hard C++ fans. I'm a fan of Python but i also like languages with a stronger FP bent (and statically

Looks like they are calling other ads or reselling fake inventory. This is against every single supply source and publisher's rules. They're not only screwing the browser, they're screwing the advertiser too.

There is a segment of America that wants to prohibit speech that is "bad." In this case, the rhetoric of the alt-right and other racist fear mongers. This is speech that incites riots. I'm glad the ACLU is there fighting this
