You mean like a hosted Lamson app? There could be a market if the price is right (not to high), because Lamson makes this already simple for developers.
"It still requires app developers to install, customize and maintain"
That's kind of the job of a developer, right? if he uses a "simple service" he's not developing but he's a "User" using a service and outsourcing the development to the service provider.
"If I had a nickel for every time someone claimed to cure cancer in mice, I'd be a rich man."
First thing that comes to mind when reading titles like this. Mice is a model for human biomedical research, but far from a perfect one, especially in the cancer field. There are substantial differences that make it hard to extrapolate these results in mice to humans.
As a medical biotechnology grad student I read these claims often and it's a shame that most of the time it's impossible to find a reference to the original article. Hard to know than if it's an exaggeration generating false hope or a genuinely promising cure with consequences for treatments in humans.
because you can't fit in the extra guy in all cockpits :-)
Would be unpractical and expensive to put a 3rd person there just for weather.
Good updated meteo from the specialists on the ground, and basic training in and availability of satellite images in the plane.
Like it's said you might loose contact with any ground station when flying in the middle of nowhere or you might lose imaging data of the storm.
So both should be there to provide a better standard than the current limited info of printed weather maps in preflight briefings, especially for long flights.
I agree that it's also useful but this is not black and white. It's not one ore the other, it should be both.
Because when your flying into a storm front in the middle of the atlantic you are on your own and it's not that interpreting a satellite picture is a black art like radar. Besides that's why there are 2 of them in the cockpit. If a pilot can't handle that he shouldn't be flying a plane.
It's like saying we shouldn't invest in new CT machines or other better medical imagery, doctors have more than enough data to handle.
I'm talking about satellite imagery like it is shown in the article, which is the only kind that would provide reliable and usable info for storm evasion. You need a view from above to see a storm size and not just a surface look at it from the sides (with a radar). Weather radar only provides limited information, like the article says.
"interpreting its display is a bit of a black art." -
"It is akin to a blind man with a cane;" -
"For instance, the radar mostly detects rain and hail – and if that first layer of storm cells was particularly heavy, it might have acted like a curtain – hiding the reinforcements from radar beams."
You can't know what's inside a walled garden or know how big it is just by looking at one side of the outside walls, you need something that allows a top view.
Why when internet is becoming available in planes is something as simple and and essential as updated weather reports not possible during a flight?
Why are these practices seemingly stuck in a stone age of paper weather reports, printed before the flight leaves, that could have been outdated even before the planes takes off.
Maybe this accident will speed up a much needed needed technological update in this aspect of air-travel.
We should stop wasting dollars on security theater measures and invest it in real safety measures that can save lives.
If you can say it in a regex (or lamson router match expression), you can use it to route. If you don't want to use commands-in-the-to-field, just write you handler so that it parses the body. Lamson doesn't make you use to-field-as-command-interface, nowhere is this style pushed. 0.9 leaves you completely free to choose your type of routing, more flexible than previous versions.
The reason to do it in the "to-field" is because it's easy to parse without having to read the whole body. Parsing an email body is far more complicated, you have to deal with, clients automatically adding signatures, advertising from free email providers, unwanted html markup,...
The email address validation is overly restrictive. Valid email addresses can contain + and other characters.
So if I wanna use an email adress like [email protected] it gets flagged as invalid by the script.
(I use it to do filtering based on the +keyword in gmail)
Nice and useful project. It shows a lot of potential.
Skimmed through the code and it seems easy enough to build a simple app, even for Python beginners like me.
