I suspect it might feel like the inside of an oven during the hot season.
Might this polish the 737 MAX reputation a bit?

Good to know. I must have been misled back in lockdown days when some people sabotaged QR codes on purpose by adding a few dots with permanent markers.
Re:Barcodes are about to go extinct on Saturday October 03, 2026 @06:52AM (#49943081)
QR codes are a bit more fragile than barcodes though. A scratch or a stain can make them unreadable.

Are there studies on how that might affect logistics?

Perhaps you will remember the Taguba report on Abu Ghraib, when a superior of his suggested he let it go because they were "only Iraqis".

But it's not completely native, it's a wrapper around the original linux driver (or parts thereof) running in a container.

Still better than nothing.

> I got a really strange response over email which I clearly wasn't supposed to see. A representative from that airline was asking internally if they could put me on the no-fly list. That was really chilling.

What if they only pretended to forward it to you by mistake and you /were/ supposed to see it?

As in "it would be a shame if you could never fly again".

Actually, it's lemons (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Zitron).

Sorry, I couldn't resist:)

Why did they use the ISC DHCP server for their proof of concept if it reached EOL years ago?
Isn't Charon VAX officially supported by HP/Compaq/DEC these days?
Just how much money is in all that?

Nothing to say about the product itself, but the name has an unfortunate connection: https://ibb.co/W4DTbK0S
Perhaps it would be more sensible to go after anyone publishing AI-created work on account of it being a derivative of training data.
Could earlier diagnoses contribute to finding causes and treatments?

Re:My Antichrist Lecture on Wednesday October 22, 2025 @06:55AM (#45667279)
I don't know if this article is supposed to be tongue-in-cheek, but Amodei is clearly the patronymic form of Amedeo or Amadeus (Lover of God).

If the rest of his etymological analyses are on par, they can't be taken seriously.

Unless the author wanted to demostrate that by playing with words one can prove anything.

Re:Patina: a Rust implementation of UEFI firmware on Saturday October 11, 2025 @07:45AM (#45548383)
Can one even do UEFI firmware projects without at least keeping Microsoft in the loop?

As far as I remmeber, they control the issuance of keys for bootloaders. Or is this project supposed to do away with that?

I'm no expert and as European I have no horse in this race, but couldn't the lack of a paycheck be actually contributing to the stress and resulting inability to work?

ATCs are responsible for the lives of many in the air and a mistake could result in a disaster and possibly criminal charges.

I read somewhere that designing a new plane would be a financially challenging proposition, with a comparatively small return far down the road.

Plus, it would be a new type and airlines would end up with hybrid fleets, increasing logistics costs (spare parts stocks, retraining of mechanics, pilots who couldn't readily switch between new and old planes and probably more).

In short, not a compelling proposition for anyone involved.

Actually he was more fluent in the Piedmontese dialect. His Italian was somewhat wobbly at the time of his election.

I'm surprised it still has brand recognition.

They are starting to /design/ it now. Tempest is supposed to enter service in 10 years' time, which I will believe when I see it.

The Behistun inscription in Iran (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behistun_Inscription) was used for target practice during WWII.
