It's one factor in estimating altitude you feed into an extended kalman filter. If the GPS altitude is holding steady but there's a sudden jump in pressure that's probably a storm front not indicative of motion.

Meanwhile political campaigns at both provincial and federal levels are mostly ad hominem attacks and fear mongering ("it'll be the end of the world with the other guy").
On top of separating google login, keeping Facebook completely separated from rest etc... Firefox profiles let me have a bunch of extensions for development (eg: React dev tool) that tend to eat memory and slow down every day browsing.
It's not too much work, although things like unquoted tokens do introduce some ambiguity (a technical term for when two productions have overlapping start symbols) in the grammar. This is usually an academic concern though, as ambiguity can be resolved through backtracking, and as long as you don't require too much of it, it's fine.
I've implemented a hand-written recursive descent parser for something that is very similar to JSON5, and it wasn't difficult overall.
But all of my services speak JSON, so if I can do a tiny bit more work to speak the same language, that's an advantage that JSON5 loses over JSON. I don't think JSON5 is enough more human-friendly to make up for that rather large disadvantage.
A lot of scientists and journalists have not moved to other platforms. I tried to use instagram instead but the algorithmic injection of content and a terrible UI make it unusable for me.
I find using Twitter in the "following" mode, as opposed to the default "for you", I get a lot of value content and almost no noise.
How do you make it easy to stay proficient? For example you say your plane will never stall, will your pilots train stall recognition and recovery regularly? How will prevent something like what happened to AF447?
We'll still encourage and require the same proficiency checks that pilots do today.
Our hope is that GA pilots will no longer need to do things like train stall recovery. We are moving into an era of aviation where aircraft (not just airplanes) will be complicated enough that computers have to be in the loop to handle things like that, because it allows us to create more interesting aerodynamic aircraft that are more efficient and have better performance.
regarding something like AF447, the immediate answer is we have the ballistic parachute as a final backup in case the pilot is unable to land the plane, for whatever reason. Realistically, it would depend entirely on the exact situation our plane was in, what systems have failed vs which haven't, and the pilots actual skill level
> Our hope is that GA pilots will no longer need to do things like train stall recovery.
I hate everything about this thought process. Every pilot should know how to handle stall recovery, for the same reason that every driver should know how to handle loss of traction whether they have traction control or not. Driving the skill bar to the bottom intentionally will just result in more and more people flying without a clue what they're doing, just like we have on the roads today.
- even with redundancy, there can be enough failures that the computer no longer has enough information to make the right decision, one thing humans seem to be good at.
- people who had been trained in stall recognition and recovery, but probably had not kept proficient at it (unlike pilot of slow airplanes like GA and glider pilots) failed to recognize it (only 1 of the 3 pilot did) and did not recover from it.
