Leaded gas is on the (long overdue) way out, now that there's finally an unleaded option approved for the entire piston fleet. A modern piston plane can get the equivalent of 30 MPG, and fly directly to its destination. So there's

Really? Electronic ignition and fuel injection alone are advantageous enough, not to mention the ability of at least one Rotax engine to use true automotive gas (gasohol). As the article points out, the writing was on the wall for leaded fu

Every time I try a new Transmission release, I remember why I deleted it last time: NO PROXY SUPPORT. Ridiculous.

Maybe I'm missing something about this one, then. How is detecting "me" Mastodon links on Web pages similar to discovering people who are online near you? Or as that not what Nintendo's did? Anyway, thanks for any insigh

Spyware or malware or adware. The beyond-obnoxious badgering to log in, log in, LOG IN!!! with your "Microsoft account" to do ANYTHING renders the OS totally unacceptable in my house... and I regret replacing my parents' comp

Holy crap is that a broken mess. They should take that down.

Is Rust with Qt a thing?

Did I miss it, or did the author not state what the better solution is?

The original pressing is a great example of how good pop music used to sound and how shitty it sounds today because of dynamic compression. “3 a.m. Eternal” sounds huge, and doesn’t inflict pain when turned up LOUD. I haven’t listened to it

Ugh, "Web 3.0". The years of "Web 2.0" stupidity were bad enough. People want to revive this ignorance? Then again, they keep churning out the asinine labels for "generations" of people. In other news: Are we s

The images here are not very interesting. One is just a square, and the other is a jagged foreground with ambiguous figures moving in the upper region.

This is what I was going to do too. I was just going to write a code generator in Python. And I don't even know Python. I figured it'd be easier to learn it and use it for text processing than wasting any more time trying to make

This is exactly what I expected: a well-traveled path. I assumed I was doing something wrong or just not "getting it," and spent weeks digging through the scattered doc and poring over Java code and templates... and the generated

by BuckyBeaver 4y ago
It's hard to say. It may be that the Java ecosystem for it is in good shape. The generator tools are almost all Java, so you might have the best-case scenario. The OpenAPI Generator uses Mustache templates and a plug-in-style design to

What are you trying to do in regard to your API? I just developed an extensive API definition using OpenAPI, which (as of version 3.1) is compliant with JSON Schema. I used Stoplight Studio on Mac OS, although it still doesn't fully su

None of those is a flying car. Flying cars are wheeled vehicles that can drive on the ground like a normal car, but also fly.

So I glad I invested in my long-term health early. And often.

"The flying cars that are in development currently are largely mega-sized drones." Mmmm, I'm not aware of any that are. The Terrafugia wasn't, but it has been abandoned apparently. The Samson Switchblade is a three-wheel

All of those differ from the one in this ad.

How about we all ask HN to stop abusing users with this despicable practice? Ban people or don’t. Instead, HN deliberately wastes people’s time. There’s no excuse for it.

Oh yeah, I'm not lumping icons in with controls. Their icons were fine. Oddly, Game Center is missing from my phone, so I'll take your word that the new icon sucks. I like to scorn the Photos icon: a multicolored Spirograph. Why?

Cool! Thanks for the link. I checked out a few DIY projects years ago, and even bought a few broken Super-8 projectors to scrounge their film-advance mechanisms. But I haven't revisited the state of the DIY art for a long time.

Sure. I don't begrudge the cost of the devices. In this case I'm calling out the missed opportunity of having built most of such a device already and not following through to expand its appeal to more potential customers by offeri

Yes, down-mod instead of answer. Go back to Reddit.

I understand (I work in the industry), but the point still stands that these companies could have added greatly to the appeal of their scanners by offering a motion-picture attachment, no matter how slow. I was considering trying to build o

Another one is that nobody made a feeder for movie film, for ANY of the consumer or "prosumer" scanners at any price. If you want film scanned today to individual files per frame, it's still a bunch of money if you can find s

Why?

There's a happy medium, though. Overly-photorealistic controls are actually counter-productive, especially when incompetently chosen. For example, at the height of Apple's cheeseball skeuomorphism was Game Center, which featured s
