> From swimming lessons to recreational use and high-level competitions, the Aquatics Centre will be multifunctional. From July 2025, the Aquatics Centre will become a vast multi-sports facility open to all, including two pools (50m and 25m), a fitness area, bouldering area, paddle tennis section and pitches for team sports. It will also have an adjustable floor to serve a variety of purposes (swimming lessons for babies and children, etc.). The Aquatics Centre will also be the state-of-the-art facility that the French swimming community has been looking forward to for decades. The French Swimming Federation will be able to host national and international competitions in its four indoor disciplines. The Centre will also provide a best-in-class federal training facility for leading French athletes and will notably be home to the country’s diving centre
Obviously concerning that a single (perfectly valid) flight plan can take down both the primary and backup. Reject the flight plan that the system can't understand, you've got 4 hours for someone on front-line support to be able to work out the correct path and enter it manually? Meanwhile it'd be good if the system continued to operate.
Futher concerns about first and second line support being unable to find in the logs the cause or even the flight plan being processed when the systems failed. Had to bring in the 3rd party developers to look at "lower-level" logs to find out what happened. If your monitoring/logging isn't good enough that the first responder can't work out at least what the system was doing when it failed, that's a significant problem.
For more context on how big a deal this is, the A220 is quite widely seen as the future of short-haul aviation. Airlines are moving towards a point-to-point model instead of hub & spoke (especially in Europe), using smaller planes with lower capacity, but flying more frequently, together with best in class fuel efficiency (with the price of jet fuel only really going to go in one direction in the next decades) means the 220 is very, very popular. Airbus is expecting to sell 7,000 of them in the next 20 years. That's coming close to the incredibly successful A320 family (including A318, A319, A320 and A321 models) which has sold just over 10,000 planes since 1986.
It claims it will use rotating detonation engines, which are currently at a NASA tech demo stage. At best. They're super complex, currently not very stable. It's long, long way from becoming stable & reliable enough to be used as plane engines or being commercially available. The current record is 10 minutes firing.
Restless Leg Syndrome is absolute hell. Combined with insomnia it's nearly killed me a few times. I think a lot of people (including many doctors I've dealt with) underestimate it due to it's rather benign sounding name.
Strongly agree with what you're saying. I think they've brought out a good game with a solid foundation for turning it into a great game with tweaks and expansions. I've put 26 hours into it since Tuesday and I'm loving it, so they've definitely done something right.
Agree with the tech tree, it's too short and you likely won't vary in the techs you get if you're playing a country with reasonable research points. I'd love some more country-specific flavour and actions; I understand folks don't want to be railroaded (having options to play a country any way you want is great), but it feels a little empty at the moment. Of course this can be modded in and filled out with DLC down the road.
If you enjoy this era of history or enjoy other Paradox games, I'd strongly recommend giving it a go.
TL;DR Intel's top SKU beats AMD's top SKU by a small margin in some tests, the opposite in others. But it uses a huge amount of extra power to be competitive.
'In our testing, power consumption topped out at a absurd 335 Watts, over 100W more than the Ryzen 9 7950X'
I see a lot of people using an iPad for music alongside a proper computer with a full featured DAW. You don't need a mouse or keyboard shortcuts for idea generation, sketching out rough concepts from inspiration on the go or playing with some of the pretty unique synths & other tools available on iPad. For modular synth simulation I've found iPad with Pencil to be a much much better UI for me than using a mouse.
It may have improved significantly since I last used it (9 months ago?) but mypy was a world away from the ergonomics, quality of tooling and maturity of TypeScript.
Yeah there are no major microarchitectural changes that we're aware of for these chips. Bigger L2$, support for AVX-512 (kinda ... double pumping 256bit units), possibly wider front-end but not a huge amount more; it's primarily the new process making the difference.
Join the waiting list to try the Arc beta by The Browser Company. Very fresh take on a browser, quite a bit of your list, particularly bookmark behaviour, is in Arc.
This is a falsely attributed quote. There's zero record of Zhukov (or anyone, particularly none of the various people this quote has been attributed to) saying this. It's a lazy stereotype of the CCCP's strategy during WWII and absolutely incorrect.
