Absolutely. If you look at an extensively used standard like DO-178C for avionics, it really says very little about how to program. Instead, the emphasis is on making sure that the software has implemented system level requirements correctly.

Ah, not coming to the US.

Framing "less code written" as a trade-off is a red flag to me. Anyone who judges productivity by lines of code written should inquire with me about a limited time, fantastic deal on a bridge...


For the past 10 years, I've worn a slide rule every day. It's a small circular one modeled after the E6B aviation slide rule, with markers for common aviation conversions.


Thanks to the open source nature of the Arduino ecosystem, you can make it so!


Ars longa, vita brevis


It's also because the cars are getting so much taller, especially in the US. Driving a smaller car is terrifying when a lifted Dodge fitted with anti-aircraft spotlights blinds you while going the opposite direction.


Absolutely. Our disposable society is a privilege for those who can afford it and an absolute curse for those who can't.


The biggest pains of film scanning are in the post process color balance and dust removal. Unless this can improve those parts of the workflow, it's only going to be a minor improvement. I like the continuous reel movement of this scanner vs a flatbed though, that can improve the physical workflow quite a bit.


'git bisect run' is probably one of the most important software tools ever.


Not really on topic, but I think it's funny that most MMA style gyms always offer Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai as two classes, right after each other. Of the two, Jiu Jitsu seems to generally be the more popular one.


Muay Thai is murder on the joints. BJJ, with its focus on ground-work is much easier on my nearly 50-year-old joint.s


Wrestling is fun and it causes less damage than repeated blows to the head (CTE's are terrible).
