Be careful with this. I used to give aircraft simulator instruction and had to learn that AC backwards and forwards. Bottom line is it's not enough just to get a certified yoke and throttle quadrant. The entire package,…
Except as the author points out, we have more than just our own personal experience to go on. We have the experience of millions of college students, who, as the author notes, are not being dragged out in body bags by…
That's fine for something a person is working on in their spare time, but when it's a multi-million dollar company whose mission statement is "we simplify the lives of developers who are making world-changing apps," I…

There's passion, and then there's dirty fighting. Name calling and dismissiveness. A veritable army of straw men. Unwillingness to even attempt to understand an opposing viewpoint. Let's call that what it is. It ain't…
> why is it considered anti-trans speech, when a villain is "a male serial killer known to have worn a dress" That's not what OP is referring to. Go read her Twitter feed and blog.
Yeah, this blog post is a real drag. Ok, so you've been at this for a long time and are super smart and experienced. Great. That's not who Arduinos are for. They're for folks who want to use a microcontroller and don't…
And if they sell four? Wish I still had a copy but there was a brilliant story printed years ago called something like "there are numbers smaller than 1%." It illustrated the fallacy in the thinking behind saying things…
And some people like to have some peace in their own homes. No one is picking on people for having a different life. I don’t care if people want to have lawns. I care if they run a goddamn engine right outside my home…
There's an avalanche of people commenting on this who didn't bother to check the article before raising their methodological objections, so let's get these out of the way here. - Yes, they controlled for objects…

Grandmaster: Revolution? How did this happen? Topaz: Don't know. But the Arena's mainframe for the Obedience Disks have been deactivated and the slaves have armed themselves. Grandmaster: Ohhh! I don't like that word!…
Oh, yikes. I understand what's happening here but this is going to bite a lot of people. I might be misreading the grammar but it looks like you can produce the desired effect by using an attribute, e.g. the following…
As someone who is in week two of spooling up on a multi-million-line codebase where most of the original authors have moved on to other projects, please, I beg you to heed this advice. I spend the vast majority of my…
I'll go ahead and admit that I'm a dummy: I find anything related to math on Wikipedia to be an incomprehensible nightmare. There's a consistent failure, in my view, to consider the audience. It's like people are…
That's a legal disclaimer designed to head off a specific commercial legal liability. If you go looking to use law as a foundation for right and wrong, you're going to be sorely disappointed.
I understand where this thinking comes from but I still think it's kind of a simplistic attitude. People depend on the technology they use. When you convince someone to rely on something you've produced (and, crucially,…
Most common medical history items fall under something called CACI: Conditions AMEs Can Issue. (Yes, that's an acronym in an acronym. Welcome to the FAA. AME is the doctor you see for your flight physical, which you…
I’ve been confused about why this app even exists, for this very reason. I use the built-in facilities to keep my Mac awake.
Because it’s 16 bytes, and in Python 2 strings were just bytes, so any 16-byte string could be interpreted as an IPv6 address. Doh.
In a thread about OpenBSD, > Developers in particular don't generally care about security Thanks, now I have to clean a mouthful of coffee off my screen!
“We have miserably spent 3 years of our lives and are still ashamed of the result.” This should come with a trigger warning.
I was once a fervent devotee of semver. It's so predictable! It's structured! There's a system! Everyone loves a system, especially engineers. I've since become disillusioned. The problem with semver, in my experience,…
Active listening. I'm amazed at how much better discussions go when this simple tool is used. Conflicts big and small melt away. Understanding, trust, and confidence are built. And even if not everyone agrees at the…
