With all the advances in technology, can there be no navigation app that can just tell you you're on a collision course instead of relying exclusivly on playing broken phone between flying and driving meatbags via a sitting one?
There is actually a set of lights which should have displayed red towards the trucks.
Were they not operating correctly, or did the driver ignore them is one of the questions the investigation will answer.
The system is called Runway Status Lights. And in case there is a disagreement between the ATC clearance and the lights the drivers are supposed to not enter the runway.
The description is a bit vague, but I guess this should've automatically caught the landing plane immediately after it got the approval and started landing?
> When activated, these red lights indicate that ... there is an aircraft on final approach within the activation area
It is not working based on approval but based on sensors observing the airplane on final. Even if the plane is landing without clearance, even if the ATC is held hostage by a terorist or having a stroke the lights should turn red when an airplane is approaching the runway from the sky.
“RWSL is driven by fused multi-sensor surveillance system information. Using
Airport Surface Detection Equipment-Model X (ASDE-X), external surveillance
information is taken from three sources that provide position and other
information for aircraft and vehicles on or near the airport surface. RWSL safety
logic processes the surveillance information and commands the field lighting
system to turn the runway status lights on and off in accordance with the motion of
the detected traffic.”
In the video it looks as if the other emergency vehicles have stopped and only the first truck is driving. Maybe they missed the light or it turned red just after the first truck passed the light.
> knew I wanted to use the latest and greatest first-party foundation. That meant writing a WinUI 3 app, using the Windows App SDK
No it doesn't? That's "the latest", but not "the greatest", and as "a Windows guy" you should know both the meme "wait until sp1" and the principle behind that about the inverse relationship between the two factors in that phrase
> what is the point of using Microsoft’s latest and greatest, if half your code is just interop goop to get at the old APIs?
Good point! Don't, wait until they realize their newest toy isn't popular enough, throw it away and create a new one - use that instead!
> One might think that an advantage of controlling C# would be that Microsoft has carefully shaped and coevolved it to be the perfect programming language for Windows APIs
No one using anything of theirs would ever think that!
PDF isn't optimized for that, like now, reading the article a phone, I couldn't properly check out a chapter because PDF is awful in optimizing itself for a smaller screen
Yep. I would prefer to see an epub version, which would be readable on more devices with different form factors, plus you could change the fonts and spacing etc.
Any? PDF is fixed-width and is currently laid out for desktop, so bigger than any phone - though even there, you might want to use the guide side-by-side with your actual host shell to follow some instructions - and hit the same limitation on a smaller laptop screen where text wouldn't fit and you'd have to scroll.
no, it's not. pdf has multiple rendering modes and your problem is the client you are using to view it.
the reason this book being ~20 mb with 750 pages is that %99 percent of the things inside is vectoral, including the variable font that I used. While trying to find the perfect page aspect ratio and the perfect variable font width, I tried it with many different screen sizes, operating systems, dpis etc and clearly tell you that you have another problem.
For me, it's any device/app: Windows with Chrome/Firefox, Sumatra, PDXChange, iphone Safari, Mac Preview/Skim
The chapter looks identical, the first line of chapter 5 is "In the previous chapter, we covered the basics of the Linux operating" and it doesn't reflow when you change zoom on any device, as is pdf-typical, unlike your website where zooming in never loses the "A complete roadmap from Linux foundations to production-grade Kubernetes." text.
But instead of troubleshooting my case, just tell what the ideal client program that breaks the curse of PDF is! I'll even try the Acrobat monstrosity if it's the only one
The problem is that if you copy random code from the internet it cannot figure out the right indentation level - whitespace has meaning in python. What IDE can automagically handle this?
