Some examples of flights without schedules:

- A private pilot who departs their local airport without filing a flight plan and flies around for a while.

- A charter jet that departs whenever the passengers show up.

- A medevac helicopter departs a hospital to return to its base. While en route, it is rerouted by dispatch to pick up a patient at a different hospital.

This is still very much the case. Although most new code is written in other languages, Tcl still has a substantial presence.

In general, this is actually done: there are defect detectors that are installed along tracks that monitor for several conditions as trains pass over/through them. Once the train has passed, a voice radio message is sent to the train crew.

Here's an example of one working: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7BGg82uQ1U

I'm not sure whether similar equipment was a factor in the East Palestine incident.

I wrote about how I decrypt TLS streams in Wireshark for debugging purposes here: https://www.benburwell.com/posts/intercepting-golang-tls-wit...

It won't apply to every situation, but might provide some building blocks you can adapt to your environment.

The article mentions a takedown notice they received from GitHub instructing them on how to remove certain content from their repo. I'm guessing maybe this PR contains some of that content they were asked to remove, and there's a bug in GitHub when rendering a pull request page that references deleted content?

How useful is this in practice though?

I'd guess that far greater than 99% of the people using (most) products do not have perfectly color calibrated monitors. If it doesn't look good on the developer's "kinda close" monitors, that seems like a decent indication that the design needs to be updated to allow for "rougher tolerances" so to speak.
