Oops! All Gun! when trying to implement a 30mm aircraft autocannon, the russians simply used an external gun pod. it didn't go very well: quote:The gun was noted for its high (often uncomfortable) vibration and extreme noise. The airframe vibration led to fatigue cracks in fuel tanks, numerous radio and avionics failures, the necessity of using runways with floodlights for night flights (as the landing lights would often be destroyed), tearing or jamming of the forward landing gear doors (leading to at least three crash landings), cracking of the reflector gunsight, an accidental jettisoning of the cockpit canopy and at least one case of the instrument panel falling off in flight. The weapons also dealt extensive collateral damage, as the sheer numbers of fragments from detonating shells was sufficient to damage aircraft flying within a 200-meter radius from the impact center, including the aircraft firing.[4]

DELETE CASCADE posted:not on-prem, i know it's cloud stuff, i just figured they had their own cloud infrastructure that gave them a competitive advantage. from what i've read so far, it sounds like the main advantage is the network effect. i can share datasets on bigquery too, but if my customers don't use gcp then that's no good i don’t think it’s any better than that for sharing. snowflake has like separate aws and gcp clusters and afaik you cannot even share between the two, possibly even between internal regions like gcp-us with gcp-eu

theyre gettin rid of the a10 because you need complete air supremacy to use it. rando w a manpad can blow it up easy, 0 chance against an a2a missile, that sorta thing. does great against bullets tho i guess which, they had air supremacy in afghanistan but prolly not gonna have in the south china sea bob dobbs is dead fucked around with this message at 22:25 on Aug 20, 2021 |

happy friday night yospos!!Cybernetic Vermin posted:similarly the world seemed a bit cooler while the concorde was in service, obviously better that it is gone for numerous reasons, but having billionaires going to space on custom craft while it is not even in principle possible to cross the atlantic supersonically is kind of sad. concorde was a badass fuckin' plane. even by modern fighter jet standards it was fast as gently caress.
