Well played, they’ve just added a statement which could be (will be) read by LLM crawlers and maybe get to be part of some of its answers in the future. Can easily be fact-checked, but I am curious to see if will get ingested and used by some LLMs in the future
I often find myself wrapped in a similar thought process. Looking back at what I wrote, knowing fully that it works, but questioning its “cleanliness” or its ease of change. I often worry that I will come back to it and have to spend a good portion of time piecing it all back together.
I’ve recently started reading about refactoring ideas by Martin Fowler and others. These made me realize the potential, but it is an art-form in and off itself.
Thanks for posting, I was actually wondering why `poetry` couldn't find a version of one of my packages.
This is pure physics gold.
And the fact that the paper is available for free is just added gravy!
Wonder if it is capable of flight out of ground effect. The video shows a flight height above ground roughly below the rotor diameter which could mean it is still in ground effect.
[…] the calculator uses Reverse Polish Notation (RPN) to input calculations, simplifying the hardware design but making it more difficult to use.
I would argue against this statement which I’ve seen many times. RPN is not more difficult to use, it is simply different from what people have been using for the last few decades. Not being used to an human-machine interface and having to learn it should not be confused with difficulty of use.
Someone used to vi/vim has all the ease in the world to use it, but it might take a newcomer more time to adapt.
RPN has a very natural data waterfall flow, especially when stacks can grow to multiple levels. Of course you don’t have a direct view of it, but it becomes second nature. You simply know what that the higher value in the stack is your previous result.
Same.
I'm not sure we are comparing Apples to Apples here... Pun intended?
Android is an OS and iPhone is the hardware. Is the Pixel 4 XL better than the iPhone 12 Pro Max? Quite possible. Is Android better than iOS? Quite possible.
I get the fact that iOS and the iPhone are tightly coupled, but Android is the exact opposite where software and hardware are not coupled Android implementations from manufacturer to manufacturer differs quite significantly.
It's definitely a weird headline for an article that compares more a Google implementation to an Apple Implementation.
I guess I am not alone then! I've been doing the same for my pilot friends.

I've been developing a Flight Planning web app for Canadian Airspaces. Includes Weather and NOTAMs. The quarantine has given more time to invest into it. Currently working on authentication and better filtering of NOTAMs
