Aircraft approach lights level.

“This ensures that each student is consistently challenged”.

They will be challenged alright.

N26 maybe?

WSL was my gateway drug to Linux. It’s neat. Until it isn’t.

Some Ryanair passengers would definitely do that.

Geostationary orbit is waaaaay high.

I’m a geek, always around computers, gaming, tinkering, etc.

Once I moved for work, to Spain, didn’t know the language. My laptop broke, like, when opening it, the plastic was fatigued and the screen just bent.

I was broke, expensive training… Couldn’t replace it before a few months.

So I went to the bar of the inn I was starting at. And just, tried to pick up some words.

Long story short, after a while I knew everyone in town, had many friends, and after work, laptop or not, I would go to the bar. I got fluent in Spanish too.

Happiest time of my life. I don’t think my mental health has ever been as good as back then.

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!”

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…

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.
