You're mistaken. I worked on the 787 and a derivative of the 747. They use protocols defined by ARINC (google it) that are only used in the airplane industry. Stuff like telnet need not apply.

I concur. I used to work on interfaces to all the computers on the latest 747 and the 787 and there is no wireless way to talk to any of the computers or sensors that have any input to controlling the airplane. I am not making this up. On t

Nothing special. He put his resume on job boards and started getting calls from recruiters. He looked at jobs offered found some he liked, applied to some, and one of those hired him. I'm not looking right now but I check craigslist from ti

The suggestion "Containerize the airline industry" is wrong on so many levels. First of all every air port in the world would have to install new equipment. That would take money and time. Secondly every airline would have to buy new plane

Cyclists insist on their rights but do not accept their responsibilities. Once I was walking in a crosswalk with the light when the guy zooms through the crosswalk a foot in front of my face face. I swear at him and he stops says "What did

I have never used lambda in years of programming Python. If I need a one time function I define a function and use it once. To me it is more readable and readability is one of Python's greatest virtues.
