Some examples of flights without schedules: - A private pilot who departs their local airport without filing a flight plan and flies around for a while. - A charter jet that departs whenever the passengers show up. - A medevac helicopter de

This is still very much the case. Although most new code is written in other languages, Tcl still has a substantial presence.

In general, this is actually done: there are defect detectors that are installed along tracks that monitor for several conditions as trains pass over/through them. Once the train has passed, a voice radio message is sent to the train c

I wrote about how I decrypt TLS streams in Wireshark for debugging purposes here: https://www.benburwell.com/posts/intercepting-golang-tls-wit... It won't apply to every situation, but might provide some building

The article mentions a takedown notice they received from GitHub instructing them on how to remove certain content from their repo. I'm guessing maybe this PR contains some of that content they were asked to remove, and there's a

How useful is this in practice though? I'd guess that far greater than 99% of the people using (most) products do not have perfectly color calibrated monitors. If it doesn't look good on the developer's "kinda close&quot

I really want to like GitHub Actions. But it feels like every time I'm trying to get something done, they are broken.

I also made something similar for Boston: https://mbta.benburwell.com Mine doesn't show the routes. Originally it did, but it was too visually busy. I like the way you did it where the route shows up when you select a vehic

Your "state of the art" Go code is not really a good example of how that functionality would be written. If you want to check for a specific error condition, then just define a value for that error and use `errors.Is` to check for

Cool! I was expecting to see this implemented with the go/ast package, but I guess gofmt makes this easy enough to parse out by just matching lines.

Thanks! Hmm, that is odd. I'm currently seeing a few RL trains, but not as many as I'd expect... perhaps I've got a bug in processing the data somewhere. Edit: Actually, it's probably due to the derailment: https:/

Hi HN! I wanted a way to visualize the MBTA system as a whole, so I hacked this together over the weekend. It shows the current position of each bus, train, and subway, including a little tail behind each vehicle to show where it's bee

Wouldn't clients then only become aware that they need to replace their certs after they've been revoked? I think the desire here would be for a mechanism to alert clients to obtain a new certificate before their current certifi

Of course it is their responsibility to take it back. Suppose I order a watering can from the garden supply store. When I get home from work, I discover that instead of a watering can, they've delivered 2 tons of mulch in a giant pile

This is how it works in most areas. Mobile calls to 911 will go to the PSAP for a relatively large region, who will triage the call and if your address is in an area served by a more local PSAP, they will add a calltaker from the local PSAP
