Geostationary orbit is waaaaay high.

Flight Simulator… 2? 1988, MS-DOS

For the hero image, that could possibly just be an attempt at a “fun” way of showing that they can carry a lot by mean of hyperbole.

“Look at that tiny truck, it’s bursting with boxes!”

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.

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.

Don’t blast heavy metal.

I’d think so. They may have been talking about a ground air conditioning cart.

Edit to add: APUs burn fuel, are noisy, and some airports are very picky about their use, rightly so. But typically these airports offer ground air conditioning. If not, you ask them to start the APU when it gets too hot in the plane.

I worked for an airline that was picky about it, but the bottom line was a riot on board was worse than burning fuel. Never been told no by the airport in reasonable conditions.
