It's literally the N-body problem, I think. Even centralizing all of the ATC data, you just can't predict where all the blips are going to be an hour from now because all the variables are (most cases, quite literally) moving targets. So even though you can maybe "schedule constrain" departure/arrival airport "zones", I'm going to guess the real issue creating problems is kind of the same as people getting bumped off flights. We want to utilize our airports to at least 90% or something. Whatever max capacity it is, we don't want to permanently give up more than 10% of that capacity as emergency buffer. So when all the pool balls on the table collide just 'wrong' you end up with a bunch of the balls clustered around only two of the pockets. That's part of why I think just having some "emergency" airports, where the whole thing is basically airport overflow parking (but for planes/gliders) is probably a pretty solid idea.

Quote: So in the above with a self driving care no person can be at fault. Because they were not driving. I think this is maybe true, but still a big assumption and all of that just hasn't been sorted out yet (liabilities). There were autonomous "R/C" aircraft 25 years ago. Yeah really. The "R/C" is and is not a misnomer. Some of them, maybe even most, you could "take over" just like a Tesla/autopilot sort of works. Not so strange we'd nail it down in the air first. There's less pedestrians to hit up there. But liabilities? They always fell on the flier/owner. It didn't matter they didn't write or create the control software or if they'd built their whole setup from a single off-the-shelf kit or some kind of "kit bashing" or what. I hear where you seem to be going is that there's a sort of DDoS attack using liability lawsuits that suddenly inundates the creators with financial obligations. Just because you can sue, and probably would, if you lost someone close to you in an accident maybe? That definitely doesn't mean anyone is going to be found at fault and owing anything at all. "Stuff" does happen and people grok that. Also though, there's a flip side to this whole coin and that's how many of these such accidents do not even happen at all anymore because automated systems start kicking humans' butts at "paying attention" and "not being screwed up behind the wheel" or "trying to text". (They may be already... devil in the details sort of question) In short, self-driving is not going to die at all. We're already at a point with tech and affordability/accessibility that anyone can DIY this stuff "easily". Where "easily" is talking about the barrier to entry, especially if we concede that doing it on the scale of a little R/C car is really almost as relevant sensor/software/tech wise and bits of doing such a thing can near directly translate over to "real cars". So what I see is not really FOSS, per se, just the fact that tons of hobbyists can and will make contributions here in the form of "crowd sourced" ingenuity that finds its way back in the hands of "the big guys" (corps like Tesla). Now talking Tesla specifically in all this context? Maybe it does effectively "get killed" for them because Elon is just too reckless about many many things. But for the world/country? Nah.

You're back - that's what matters. Thanks for continuing the great work of a couple of decades now. Will Rogers never met me.

Thanks. He was using his main hotmail address. Not sure how the school set up the codespace he was using or how what he was doing would result in such a high push rate. He is continuing with the course using a standalone environment. He said if Github does not respond to his ticket he will create a new email and Github account and only use it to submit the finished projects for grading. Thanks again.

only university libraries carry such materials now... diligent hands rule....

The majority of the 12 Principles of Agile apply to any software development methodology.

Been there, done that. In grad school, I would sleep on foam rubber pallet in the corner of the computer lab so I wouldn't have to make the drive home and then back again. This could on for 2-3 days, a week, until a goal was reached. "loopy" is a good description. The next day it's all in the past. I remember visiting this code several years later, "what the hell was I thinking". We didn't have a work remotely option in those days. Only slow baud rate modem stuff.

Sorry - my mistake. 'Add To Favorites' is only available for files. But you can create Shortcuts to Folders or Pin them somewhere. Pin: On File Explorer context menu you should have a possibility to pin a folder to "Quick Access" or "Home" OR create Shortcuts: On File Explorer context menu bottom click on "Show more options" Another context menu appears, select "Send To" Then you can select from sub menu "Desktop" or "Documents" It should also be possible to use a Library and pin folders to this library. https://www.elevenforum.com/t/include-folder-or-drive-in-library-in-windows-11.5956/[^]
