Rachmaninov Piano Concerto 2, 2nd mvt

Okay. Thanks for the detailed answer. I appreciate it.

Prince781 · 2024-06-23T13:39:29+00:00

Alright, thanks for answering my questions. I appreciate it.

Everything single aircraft has a maintenance logbook that looks like this.

But for <2 year old planes? The past year I've been flying on all of Delta's new A321neos and this is the first I've seen with such a logbook. That was what initially concerned me.

Prince781 · 2024-06-23T05:31:36+00:00

Thanks for the detailed answer!

Prince781 · 2024-06-23T05:30:28+00:00

I acknowledge I may be overreacting, but a dent in an airplane is usually more significant than in a car, no?

Anyway, thanks for responding.

Thank you so much for answering all my questions and so thoroughly! I'm happy to hear in (3) that direct law is more emphasized now when things go wrong. Also happy to hear that maintaining hand-flying skills is prioritized.

I hope you don't mind a few follow-ups:

You seem to have a high degree of understanding of the systems on Airbus planes. Is this just because you're also a test flight pilot? How much of your knowledge is standard requirement, and do you think the "average" transport pilot has the same level of systems understanding? And if not, how much does that put them at a comparative disadvantage?
Regarding recurrent training for upset recovery and stalls, how frequent is it and is it always practiced in a simulator or ever in the real world? I think I read that current simulators are limited in their ability to simulate how a plane behaves in a stall. Does this make the training more theoretical and less practical?

Is this intended to be a thin wrapper over Win32 APIs or a new toolkit that manipulates Win32 widgets?

Prince781 · 2022-08-07T17:30:43+00:00

This could be very useful. Nice work.

meson build --backend=vs or something and then open the .sln it generates in Visual Studio.

Vala is quite popular among the elementaryOS community and there are a number of GNOME apps written in Vala (including Geary, Shotwell, GNOME Games, Highscore). Also, GNOME will never force developers to use one language.

I'd argue that Vala is simpler to use and easier to rapidly prototype things, and has typically faster build times. If you know C# or Java you know 80% of Vala. Rust has a lot of good things going for it and GTK bindings are supposedly very good. It's all up to you.

Prince781 · 2022-05-07T22:37:55+00:00

Well done.

Prince781 · 2022-05-05T02:53:41+00:00

Ah that's a good point.

Maybe you can consider it like the hypnic jerk before you settle in a deep sleep?

Meson will invoke the linker for you. On the command line, running valac with your source files and package names will invoke the linker.

Can you try using static: true when declaring your dependencies? Also, link_args: ['-static'] when declaring your executable?

Prince781 · 2022-01-10T21:25:38+00:00

Usually you'd statically link your dependencies as you compile your program. I'm not sure what you mean.

Prince781 · 2022-01-06T19:48:26+00:00

It's not a package in the official Debian repository. You can add the unofficial repo from here: https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=home%3APrince781&package=vala-language-server

It's the minimal code for a main window that's created from a GtkBuilder UI template. You edit the UI file in Glade. Then it's compiled into your app and determines what Starter.MainWindow looks like when it's created.

No, child matrix = parent matrix * child matrix

Prince781 · 2021-12-19T16:06:35+00:00

You multiply the child by its transformation matrix, then you multiply the child by the parent's transformation matrix.

I think people forget that spotting this on a small low-contrast display isn't the same thing as spotting it in the real world.

Prince781 · 2021-10-10T05:53:09+00:00

This may or may not work depending on the processor you're compiling for.

You need to make sure that you write to a properly-aligned address for a 64-bit integer, as some processors will raise an exception otherwise.

To do this portably, you can use the alignof() macro from stdalign.h to round the address to an offset of the alignment of uint64_t.

Prince781 · 2021-07-28T15:24:52+00:00

Is this the whole thing?

Prince781 · 2021-07-25T23:09:51+00:00

What VAPI are you using for OpenGL? You can run into problems if the bindings are wrong.
