I believe I went to high school with the author, so this took me down memory lane. I wrote an FTP client back in 1999 using only the Win32 API and C. Good times.

Yeah, I believe the RAT is automatically deployed when both engines fail or when there's a critical loss of pressure in the hydraulic systems.

Here's a Reddit video: https://www.reddit.com/r/ahmedabad/comments/1l9i1ga/om_shant... And here's a YouTube video showing a Ram Air Turbine (RAT) being deployed on a 787 for comparison: https:

There's a better, longer video on Reddit. At the beginning of the video, it sounds like the Ram Air Turbine (RAT) is deployed, which would suggest a dual engine failure.

I jokingly mentioned something like that to my wife when Trump was elected. Now, given the current circumstances, I may not get another chance to visit the US. Still, I’m grateful for the time I spent in California, the people I met, and al

In 2021 the company received €200 million from the Croatian government and the EU to develop a self-driving car, presumably to compete with US companies. However, they ended up using Mobileye technology. The initial goal was to have the car

You don't achieve fault tolerance solely by using Erlang. Erlang does not inherently 'achieve fault tolerance.' Instead, you make your system fault-tolerant through deliberate engineering. While Erlang provides tools and desi

I would argue that a lot of public APIs are a mess. We used to joke that instead of firing the bottom 10%, Google just reallocates them to the Android team.

I might be too cynical but what's most likely to happen is that corporations will find a way to avoid paying the tax and it will hurt people who struggle the most already. For example, in EU car manufacturers have to keep average CO2 e

Where would that money go though? Do you honestly believe that given enough money politicians can come up with a viable solution for climate change? Mind you those are the same people who want to end privacy on the Internet[1]. Same people

We bought an expensive washing machine 3 years ago thinking it will last us a long time. It already broke down twice. It's been broken for almost a month now waiting for parts and whatnot. There's a good chance we'll have to

I am less optimistic. Those plants are *massive*. Shutting them down will not be easy. For example the one in Poland accounts for about 20% of the total power generation in Poland and was recently expanded[1]. [1] https://en.wiki

admin.google.com is a great example of unnecessary, over-engineered and almost comically bad client side rendering. First off it's painfully slow. Then you go to manage users. There's a list of users; so far so good. Then you try

No. 737 MAX behaves differently from 737 NG under certain conditions. MCAS makes it behave as 737 NG under those conditions. This makes it so that 737 NG pilots can fly 737 MAX without additional, and expensive, training. This is what the
