When you spend a significant amount of time working on Linux servers/terminal/CLIs, being forced Windows with "there's WSL for you" answer is so infuriating. It's not the same for so many reasons (networking, disk sharing/speed, tooling, file system pathing quirks to name few).
I worked at a company where I was being denied a Mac despite them being common in the organisation and other engineers had them. I left due to a numerous reasons, and the next-most-senior teammate was very vocal about getting a Mac.
I have been using Java for a good decade now, and it solves all the business problems. Yes, we had an occasional Go/React threat (along JVM-based languages), but I have not seen it coming to a fruition. Java is mature, well supported and understood language that gets regular updates now. Some people don't like it, and that's okay.
What makes JS frameworks so quick to change? Angular, AngularJS, Next, Vue, React, Nue to name the few... What's the urge to reinvent rather than evolve?
If there's two waypoint markers that are named the same, how did the flight control and/or plane software know which one is being referred? Assuming closest, it would have had to special case for it already, no?
e.g. if I want to drive to Springfield, it needs to know which one out of 67 I'd like to go to...
I have no idea about serial adapters, nor I need one. However, the surprising part is that it's only $20. Are they that cheap to make? The R part of R&D must be a lot more, but I assume that's work by an enthusiast rather than a business, hence the price.
Back in the day (early 2000s), my classmate had a plan that had a limited bandwidth. That also meant there was a dashboard that you could use to monitor the usage. My classmate clearly didn't like it, because his parents could see when he was playing RuneScape. I had unlimited plan and had no monitoring in place.
So I suggested him he could exceed the limit through downloading some [i]stuff[/i]. Knowing him, he went overboard and racked up a good bill. Think of someone's earnings of working for half a year, full time, at the minimal wage at the time.
ISP didn't budge but they eventually found a way to upgrade to an unlimited plan and drop the bill for going over. Two happy kids...
