It is possible to increase the resolution on the C64. Turning off the borders allows sprites to be seen in the border area.

Unfortunately you can't tell the c64 to turn off the border. You can just tell it to turn on at a time that is not now. Removing the top/bottom border is easy enough and some games did this (usually for showing the score/lives etc.) Side borders were a somewhat trickier to do while you did anything else.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_64_demos shows a screenshot of a border sprite hack.

It would be tough to add another 80 pixels though, which is what you'd need to significantly improve an 80 column text display giving each character another pixel.

It is superior in many ways to the original MW engine, and they recently implemented distant terrain[1] in a way that makes it efficient.

From people who've played the original (I haven't) the load times are infinitely faster and the graphics are significantly improved. The module system is also far better than the original (and most mods are compatible with OpenMW). At the moment, all major features have been implemented and they are working on bug fixes in preparation for a 1.0 release (which is going to be the "fully compatible" release) after which they plan to add a wide series of improvements to the functionality engine.

They also have created a game editor that can be used to create entirely new games as well.

It's an amazing project from both a technical perspective as well as in terms of longevity (it's been in development for almost a decade).

Rust will never be more than an occasional coding exercise for me personally, because doesn't fit the type of work I do (Java/.NET/UWP/Web/Android) where project tooling is dictated by customer IT.

However coding exercises in whatever language X helps to open our mind to new ways of solving problems, that we can eventually use in our daily tools.

When I give these statements my goal isn't to bash the language, rather give another point of view that might help understanding which areas the design team should focus, or not.

After all it is their final call and they need to pay attention to those that are actually using it in production and their real problems, not random dudes like me.

When I got back into tinkering with C64 hardware a few years ago, I thought, "Ooh, I can finally afford to buy an REU!" And, I could because I make more money than 12 year old me, but they're often as expensive today as they were when they were new!

Luckily, there's a small but thriving industry of hardware hackers making new C64 stuff...and you can get an entire computer (an FPGA) to stick on the back of your C64 which can act as a CPU accelerator, RAM expansion, fast/huge disk drive, VGA port, etc. Turbo Chameleon is maybe the most successful of them. It's a bit more expensive than a real REU on ebay, but it's probably all the hardware one would ever need for C64 expansion (and it's new hardware, so likely to hold up a lot better).

30 Day Starter Self-Love and Sensitivity Programme for Empaths
Controllers in the tower do not have a good visual perspective to see runway alignment. I don't think they would have caught this.

At night, there are many visual cues to see the runway environment - it sounds to me like this complacent pilot ignored many red flags and was about to drive his plane on top of those on the taxiway.

A big heavy airliner can't just stop its decent instantly; it's a good thing that pilot on the ground chimed in when he did.

I betcha the landing pilot won't have a job pretty soon.
I mentioned the top/bottom borders, but as I pointed out it only gives you at most 192 pixels wide so you don't get full extra lines.

The reason I didn't mention the side border is that it would eat up most of the available CPU time, since you'd need to spend most of it on timing the on/off switch. You'd basically be left with almost only the vertical blanking interval to do other processing.
I wonder why on 35R they wouldn’t have the taxiway to the left of the runway. Then the “right” is always the runway. Same for the left. Basically have parallel taxiways on the opposite side of the R/L designation of the runway. So at SFO, the parallel taxiways would be inside the two runways.

However, approach lighting is pretty clear, but at dusk, I agree with another comment that it can be rather hard to distinguish depending on angles. I think that approach would be landing into setting sun, so that could have some bearing.
I feel that you are sugar coating it a tad bit much...

No, you can't. A friend of mine couldn't become a commercial pilot because he has some kind of colourblindness.

However, I remember him trying for some time and even campaigning for colourblind people to be admissible as commercial pilots because for the actual flying colourblindness doesn't seem to matter.

So, perhaps ridiculous as it may sound taking colourblindness into account when proposing such an improvement isn't such a weird idea after all.

> American Airlines got in some trouble after other parts of this training course were blamed for the crash of AA flight 587

More specifically, the pilots manipulated the rudder on that airplane so aggressively that it sheared off in flight. They were trained to react aggressively in the "Advanced Aircraft Maneuvering Program", which this video is a part of. (There are also related videos that I'm going through now that are more relevant to this particular incident; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfNBmZy1Yuc, etc.)

BTW, if AA is indeed DMCA-ing these videos, that's pretty interesting. Copyright was designed to incentivize the progress of science and the arts -- not to make large corporations look less bad after they unintentionally kill a few hundred people. Oops.

So in other words, let's ignore everything other people have done, create our own definitions, derive dubious results, call them the same name, and then declare the other, longer standing results as wrong.

It appears that his "definition" of pi depends on each circle drawn. In other words, he has no single definition, and "the" value depends on the measurement taken in each case. So again, in other words, he doesn't actually have a single value.

Actually, airline pilots (and pilots generally) are not the only people you need to take into account here. Many other potential users of the runways and taxiways would need to be taken into account, including ground staff and maintenance staff. Since I doubt that all of these are ruled out on the basis of colourblindness, it makes sense to construct a system that is impervious to ambiguity due to colourblindness.

Automatic landing systems rely on ground support by way of microwave signals from transmitters installed near autoland-capable runways. There's no general position information, and the airborne part of the system can't operate independently of the part on the ground.

Civilian GPS signals are limited in terms of position accuracy, too. I believe the CEP is ten meters. That's not bad, but it's not good enough to land an aircraft. Altitude information from GPS is (IIRC) either nonexistent or severely limited, too. About any aircraft with a glass cockpit is going to support a moving map display, and those do see use - but, as a couple of professional pilots in this thread have noted, during final approach the main concern with regard to aircraft position is relative to the glide slope and the runway, and a moving map has nothing to do with any of that.

On a more general note, it is remarkable to me that so many otherwise apparently sensible software engineers seem to regard aviation as a problem trivially susceptible of perfect solution - every time we here on HN discuss any sort of mishap even peripherally involving any aircraft, the same suggestions invariably arise around automation, various schemes of runway lighting, cockpit lighting, instrument augmentation or replacement, pilot augmentation or replacement...

One would tend to imagine that the history of our attempts to perfect our own craft - including those attempts which we who build and maintain software make anew every day - would give us cause for humility on the subject of fields other than our own, about which in the main we know next to nothing.

Imagine five hundred airline pilots confecting an ad-hoc, long-distance postmortem
of the recent us-east-1 incident! You'll have to imagine it, because it did not happen - and it is rare at best in my experience for pilots, because they are skilled in one highly complex and technical field, to imagine they can speak authoritatively in the context of another. Perhaps we might profit by their example.

Something that is proven by logic has only one answer. There are no differing opinions/measurements/data possible. Disagreeing with it is the same as agreeing with "true == false". Unless you can find (and proof) a mistake in the proof.

I don't think you're "not allowed" to disagree. You just take the consequences of claiming that "true == false".

May main point is calling this a dogma seems uncalled for. You can call particular mathematical conventions or notations a dogma if you like, after all those things are based on opinions (see e.g. pi day vs tau day).
AFAIK (not that I follow the issue closely) the problem of radio interference that ended the last-chance attempt to prevent the Tenerife crash has not been addressed [1]. If so, then it may be very fortunate that only one person called out that the landing airplane had lined up its approach on the taxiway, and not, for example, the crews of every airplane on the taxiway, simultaneously.

[1] http://www.salon.com/2002/03/28/heterodyne/

TL;DR: At Tenerife, both the Pan-Am crew and the tower realized that the KLM aircraft had started its take-off roll, and both tried to warn its crew at the same time, but the resulting radio interference made the messages unintelligible. The author states that a technical solution is feasible and relatively easily implementable.

Very much possible, if your regions are different.
I can't imagine any scenario where this is not pilot error (unless you had a power failure of the airport lighting systems).
I can see some merit in this, a story will often reveal the problem better than cold analytics, but I have to say I still think the common approach of defining the objects and then the actors is going to get a better outcome.

I agree. Check out the NTSB report[1] for the crash into a neighborhood in Queens[2]. 200-odd pages of very sober, rational (and interesting) discussion of how a pilot ended up snapping the vertical stabilizer off an A300. There are many factors leading up to what ends up being summarized as pilot error.

There is a cool demo trick to raise the apparent resolution for scrolling 80 column text. Alternate between two 80 column displays each of which have 4 pixel columns per character as matches the hardware resolution. On even frames display the even number columns of an 8 column character set; on odd frames display the odd columns.

Without a scroll, that gives a flickering halftone image between the two halves of the character images. Old CRT's had slow phosphors so the flickering isn't so bad there, but still it doesn't give truly higher resolution.

Now introduce a one pixel per every two frames horizontal scroll. Your eyes track the moving text smoothly. Relative to that moving frame of reference, the odd frames are positioned half a pixel to the right of the corresponding even frames. So in that moving frame of reference you have a "true" interlaced 640 pixel column high resolution display.
