Agreed, reading this summoned the SpongeBob narrator in my mind.

Flight Simulator… 2? 1988, MS-DOS

In a spray can somewhere

Because if they didn’t have human form they, by definition, wouldn’t be humanoids ? :)

Yeah the 777X. Weird, the 777 is so successful.

Exactly. I flew the 777 for a living. It’s a tank. Extremely reliable, flies like a dream, plenty of power. I haven’t flown the new generation 777 though and you can bet it’s not as safe. Nothing Boeing makes now is.

I used to be a “if it’s not Boeing I’m not going” pilot. I feel stupid now.

Airlines suffer the exact same problem. Greed. Boeing doesn’t make the engines. GE does (or Pratt and Whitney). They are very reliable engines too. If they start failing in a specific airline, it’s a maintenance problem.

Edit: also as comments started, this could be nothing but normal issues, haven’t read the article. I stopped reading at “engine issues, including tyre falling off…” What??

Is this… clean code ? 💁‍♂️ 🦋

There’s a guy, Isaac Newton, he’s 57. Ask him about his second third law, hopefully he came up with it already.

I steer gigantic metal birds pulled by armies of horses carrying dozens of people, to the antipodes… in less than one day… using dead animal juice.

Yes, otherwise he would have said “les Anglais”.

Interesting, but I’m skeptical. Couldn’t find anything that corroborates.

I understand your premise as a quality deficit, but really the issue I had was typing speed / convenience.

It’s more of a QOL thing. The final code is the same quality I think.

Also, we spend much our time reading and thinking about the code rather than writing it.

Well, after trying a US keyboard for coding I never went back to a french one. It’s so much easier…

If you tried copilot at the beginning, it’s improved a lot since, now it’s using GPT-4.

Only for transonic people.

Also, can they be built without fossil fuels ?
