This had nothing to do with any of that tho.

Pilots are ultimately the ones who are responsible for when and where to land, when to divert, and how much fuel to take along.

In this case, they likely had adequate fuel for, the usual eventualities but the weather in Scotland was particularly bad that night across the whole country (source: I live near Prestwick airport).

Either Edinburgh (on the east coast) or Prestwick (on the west coast) are ok (one or the other or both) but in this case neither was suitable so the nearest was Manchester - definitely an edge-case.

I don't know how much fuel they had, or if they could've fitted any more on the plane but it was unusual circumstances.

There was a military plane right behind it with the same issue that night too.

Were these pilots undertrained?

and again we can tell based on how the x isn’t centered in the close button

If a button with content out of center is a clear sign of LLM use, these tools are decades older than I realized.

I wouldn't call it a clear sign of LLM use myself but in the year of our lord 2025 it should be unheard of, we've got so many nice tools for layouting nowadays. It's certainly below par if LLMs can't reliably manage it.

Yeah I strongly emphasise with them getting their money - the only problem with headless components being behind a paid license is that you cannot build a design system on top of them and open source it.

A 787 can still climb with flaps up and two healthy engines. In the video that was posted everywhere, you can CLEARLY hear the RAT spin, which gets deployed automatically when both engines go out.

> A 787 can still climb with flaps up and two healthy engines

Not at takeoff weight with the gear down, this sentence is incorrect.

Both slats and flaps were on maximum during the entire flight.

That makes no sense, and is not consistent with video evidence. Max flaps (40 degrees or so) are typically used only for landing. That is very obvious when you see it! Usual flap setting for takeoff is on the order of 5–15 degrees.

It’s nice seeing a major outage a day after this.

Thought the same. I’d say it’s _too_ obvious because every time I have someone new in the passenger seat I have to warn them when they grab it.

Use lexical instead of elixirls and most of your worries will be gone

Oh man, I can't wait to try this out. Thanks for the pointer!

Methane and oxygen are not very toxic.

Depends on how packed the room is ;)

ExDoc is arguably one of the nicest documentation systems out there, and Erlang moving to it means two things: 1. The Erlang devs do not need to implement and maintain their own anymore. 2. ExDoc will improve faster since people previously working on Erlang’s documentation system shift to it.

It’s really a win for both, and I love it.
