I was thinking more in terms of it being a newer design. From what I've gathered there's some work being done on new engine designs within the FCAS program, but I have no idea how it's going.

More specifically, we could use our own engine. Gripen E still rely on the GE F414. Europe has nothing to rival the P&W F135.

I can recommend this episode as well. If I don't mix things up they gave some very good examples of how everyday life wasn't that much different from what it is now. Amazing how stuff like that can be communicated through identat

Seems like a bit entitled to expect being able to go around rewriting stuff and then have the old maintainers maintain it.

Very sad read. Much of the multi-billion dollar project I work on is built on top of libxml2 and my company doesn't have a clue. Fuck, even most of my colleagues working with XML every day don't even know it because they only inte

We use C++ at my shop for Level A and of course we very much restrict it. But the restrictions are more due to reducing the scope of what you need to show for your compiler. > or just malloc everything all at once? Yes! But here's t

And it never will be. In aviation we certify three things: aircraft, engines and propellers. Everything else is at best certifiable , i.e. can be integrated into a product to be certified assuming all deviations, restrictions, caveats etc

This is my experience as well. People need to ask themselves what benefits Rust would bring to an high assurance system (e.g. DO-178C Level A). You're not gonna want to malloc mid-flight even if you have a borrow checker. The entire po

Icon selection definitely plays a part. Flat, monochrome icons are just garbage. A particularly bad example is editing a page in Confluence where you know there should be a button for e.g. fill color but you can't find it because every

Oh, I think they're already up there with the aesthetics, I just don't find the content appealing. I watched (on Netflix) some Chinese attempt at a Downton Abbey a few years ago, and the production value was through the roof, abso

No one cares as long as the end product is worse and doesn't satisfy the users' requirements. If we want people to use non-American alternatives we need to build alternatives that are straight up better, which is exactly what the

Sure. My microwave from 1988 is about the only thing made in the US in my home (interstingly an Electrolux). However, every purchase I make is with a Visa card. Most services I use are American. And as I'm typing this... anyone know a
