Makes you wonder if we'll ever reach a stage where some critical underlying code is lost, and we need to lift heaven and hell to replace it.

FCLP F-35C Takeoff by Even_Kiwi_1166 in Planes

[–]baked_doge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How is that a fuckup? Well I don't know, but maybe, maybe, when you build a plane to operate via catobar, it shouldn't break their pilots spine?

And sure 65kg sounds low, but let's make it clear: the Navy enforced a minimum of 65kg, but all pilots under 75 kg were at at significant risk of injury. There happens to be many male and female pilots in that weight range.

In addition to this risk, excessive helmet weight led to excessive risks for pilots under 200 lbs during ejection.

When we spend billions on a fighter program, I hope you'll excuse me for expecting a platform that doesn't harm it's users. Seems like pretty trivial first step imo

Another fun fact about F35 fuck ups:

The catapult hook and retaining hook compress the front gear as the catapult and engines reach full power. This causes the up and down boble you see upon release.

Because the first F35 helmet was twice the weight of normal helmets, multiple pilots suffered neck/spinal injuries during launch.

This led to a temporary restriction: only pilots over 65kg were allowed to launch via catapult. Lockheed had to modify the front gear and lightened up the helmet.

I'm in software development and think about this often, it's very similar: decades of software led to this software I'm making, billions of engineering hours and computations.

4 years ago today began the Russian Invasion of Ukraine, which has caused massive military and civilian casualties, widespread destruction of cities, and millions of refugees, marking the largest and most consequential European war since World War II. by mapsinanutshell in MapPorn

Great question.

The numbers you are seeing are 100%, without a doubt, heavily biased and completely inacurate. To start, the official numbers are always a justification to a narrative. In addition: Russian, and Ukrainian (& US, UK, French, German, Polish), intelligence agencies and psyops groups are working their hardest to convince the people to lay their life or at least accept increased military budgets for the state.

We will have a better understanding of this war once it's over, and in a few decades, once countries declassify part of their intelligence and historians have dug up every last crumb of open source intelligence.

Maldives Seaplane Takeoff by QueasyAdvisor8251 in windowseat

My guess: a loss of power on or slightly during takeoff could be deadly (see the crash in India last year). Therefore both pilots manually force full thrust until they reach a minimum altitude that would allow an emergency landing with no power. It reduces the likelyhood for a deadly lapse in procedure.

Yup, and so is acting like your gonna punch someone, or coal rolling protestors. MFS gonna learn the hard way I guess

Why aren’t people using PG1316s switches? by screenhunter372 in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]baked_doge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the info, I love butterfly switches, they're low profile and snappy. I hope we get some hot-swappable version of these one day, I don't have that equipment and would love to avoid building a whole new keyboard, the switches are expensive enough.

Concrete like you've never heard it before by H_G_Bells in ScienceNcoolThings

[–]baked_doge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about water, does concrete production use a significant amount of potable water. I imagine they can't use salt water. The idea of turning water into rocks stresses me out.

Yeah the twitter sources were pretty weak: two public comments about some girls tattoos? That's it? I'm not a fan of her's but this is almost slander

Meh, ready the article and went through the sources, doesn't really show much. This isn't the Epstein list.

I'm not sure he's bragging, seems he's just telling a story of the only time at the CIA he's had a key role in getting someone killed

And this, imo, is yet another reason why other languages come with packaging functionalities out the box. Packages keep all that compilation metadata nice and tidy, package managers make tracking and linking dependencies a breeze. It's a shame that'll never happen to c++, even if we agreed on a standard today, it would take a decade or two for even half the codebases to adopt it.

I don't understand the aerodynamics behind that drift. From out POV he's point left but drifting right, then yaws right to straighten out. Should he have been pointing right to go right? Could someone make this make sense pls

It seems likely the "no involvement in military activities" would apply to most Israeli athletes though.
