if you write it in python or other interpreted language you would either need to bundle python or rely on users installing it or having it already (comes with macos and most linux distributions, windows not so much), so arguably a compiled language would be better for distribution to end users as its easier to bundle dependencies

i am not a pilot but i am a skydiver so i am not going to comment on what he did/didn't do to keep the plane in the air. i watched the video and the one thing that makes it slightly more believable for me is the headset still on in (part of) freefall. it could easily cause problems on opening, and wouldn't be too suspicious to remove it if you were getting out planned or unplanned.

one of the main reasons i do is for the MUCH better adblockers you get in firefox, the chrome/ium ones just aren't nearly as good

Qt's decision to limit LTS updates to commercial customers only means that new projects are having to look at alternative cross-platform gui toolkits. all the toolkits mentioned in the article have downsides

in general i would agree, but i think that github might be one exception, the free plan was expanded to include private repo's, the redesign is annoying but usable

they have made some mistakes with things like the dmca notice on youtube-dl but thankfully restored it and seem to be willing to help fight for it

i find it funny the H1 being on that list due to the dangers of sparks/fire. (i have no idea if this has been resolved in on-shelf units and whether it has been resolved better than "use nylon screws"). even if they do entirely fix it i think they will have to rename the model to get rid of the bad mark on the name.

this has the potential to backfire much as mandatory mediation has for some companies. if enough people start making GDPR requests it will likely quite quickly create a backlog of a long time and they may be encouraged to renable useful features like is mentioned to reduce the load

extracting the pkg

MicrosoftEdgeBeta-84.0.522.11.pkg Office16_all_autoupdate.pkg

where MicrosoftEdgeBeta-84.0.522.11.pkg extracts to just .app, although there are a couple of embedded .apps, used according to the names for rendering and GPU

Office16_all_autoupdate.pkg seems to be the updater, however it seems that the updater is optional and can be chosen to not install in the installer but appears to default to install.

if its anything like google chrome it installs an updater application that is a royal pain to try and remove
