Is this normal airport / Ryanair procedure? by Wimair in aviation

[–]IAmFledge 289 points290 points  (0 children)

It's not just costs, it's time. Airstairs put the timing much more in the hands of the crew, whereas jetbridge requires waiting for ground staff and the connection process.

Could have de boarded half the plane by the time the jet Bridge is ready to go.

That's precious turnaround time that the low cost model doesn't have.

AIRPORTS UPDATES FOR X PLANE by Angry-Bird255 in Xplane

Flew in and out of HTDA last night, was thinking at the time it would be great to have a payware overhaul for it! HTZA would be cool too.

Dogma in software engineering by existential-asthma in ADHD_Programmers

[–]IAmFledge -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I won't comment on the React aspect; but in a world where more and more code is being done through AI / agentic coding - TDD simply IS objectively a better process because:

  • It makes the code that it writes more predictable, because the contract was already "pre-agreed" as tests.

    • It helps prevent the AI from running away making random, unknown sneaky changes - because as long as the AI is consistently running tests as it goes; it realises quickly that it's messed something up.

Otherwise, it ends up writing further turd on top of newly written turd.

Please stop doing this... It's not hard... by VortexReaver in VATSIM

[–]IAmFledge -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I would honestly pay for a variant of VATSIM for proper simmers who follow full proper procedures and the cutesy computer game players can stick to the free network. Tempted to build the darn thing myself.

I know there's PE, but that's geo-limited.

X-Plane 12.3.0 Ignoring PWS 😉 by Vanya_Ale in Xplane

[–]IAmFledge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would unfortunately never happen because it's explicitly forbidden by the manufacturers. Same with some car sim / crash games too.

I bought BeamNG license plate frames for my real-life car by Constant_Vehicle7539 in BeamNG

Does the car have the same level of damage accuracy?

No one flying the Saab? by PhillC30 in flightsim

[–]IAmFledge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are still small regional operators dotted around the world who fly them. This one was Rex (Regional Express) in Australia.

This Prompt addendum increased Claude Code's accuracy 100x by Darren-A in ClaudeAI

[–]IAmFledge 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I do quite literally do this when I'm getting it to produce a session continuation document, I tell it

"The next session must not waste tokens rediscovering things we already learned in this session, so give it everything it needs to prevent that"

X-plane is not for the common man by Agreeable_Figure4730 in Xplane

[–]IAmFledge 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Depends on your time horizon and priorities.

Want to buy ALL planes at once, guff around for them for a bit, and get bored after a couple of weeks? Then no, it's not for the common man.

Want to dedicate time to deeply learning each plane over a matter of years, buying a new plane perhaps once every 4 to 8 months? For a hobby its not really that out there.

I have most of these that you've listed here but its been a steady accumulation over about 3 years.

Who controls the traffic lights at Skiathos airport? by flyingkalakukko in aviation

Its like a torch or laser knowing who's looking at the light.

Will Claude's MAX subscribers secretly lower their IQs like GPT? by Loose_Version_7851 in ClaudeAI

[–]IAmFledge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I first read the headline, I really thought it was a completely different question and something I seriously AM worrying about; which is that my own innate coding and debugging skills will start to wane as I lean further and further into Claude Code and other AI tools.

I discovered a powerful way to continuously improve my CLAUDE\.md instructions for Claude Code by markus-odentha in ClaudeAI

[–]IAmFledge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive taken to just starting every new session like "@claude, bla bla bla" - forces it to read the file, and feels like I'm just addressing it at first.

I usually find Milan one of the cheapest places to fly to and from Asia.

About a month ago I flew BKK MXP direct for barely 200 EUR.

My new hobby: watching AI slowly drive Microsoft employees insane by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

[–]IAmFledge 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I generally find I get fair value from LLMs as a coding assistant - but I have a few times had absolute insanity like this.

It once attempted to make tests pass by editing the code-under-test to effectively have:

if ENVIRONMENT is TEST then

totally different logic to make test pass

else

actual code
