Most of the Growler "magic" is in pods carried on external hardpoints, but you couldn't just upload the EW pods onto a FA-18F Super Hornet and have a Growler. The cannon in the nose of a regular Hornet is replaced with…

If there's no stack size limit, there's no stack overflow. And if there's no Stack Overflow where do we get our codez?
Dark modes for me help fight the "staring into the sun" effect I get from predominantly white screens, but obviously it's not a fix for everyone. Matte displays, definitely want to cut down on glare. If you can avoid…
A couple of years ago I was staring down the barrel of giving up a 20 year career in software development due to a degenerative eye condition. I can't tell you how many hours I wasted chasing parse errors in PHP code…
