We stayed in Sheerness (where this flight took place), and when my girlfriend saw this she immediately asked “Did pigs fly before women did?”. And the answer turned out to be no, women beat pigs by two weeks: “Sarah Van Deman … was the woman who flew with Wilbur Wright on October 27, 1909” source

What does “zoomed in to check which colour they re-used in the second chart so didn’t even realise there was a third one” count as?

World News@lemmy.world•Falkland's sovereignty 'not up for discussion' Britain warns after new Argentinian president vows to 'get them back'English
12·2 years agoI’m not sure that this link really helps your case, given these key points from the description:
The resolution by the British representative, Ambassador Sir Anthony Parsons
demanded an immediate cessation of hostilities between Argentina and the United Kingdom and a complete withdrawal by Argentine forces
Resolution 502 was in the United Kingdom’s favour by giving it the option to invoke Article 51 of the United Nations Charter and to claim the right of self-defence

Programming@programming.dev•I'm posting a daily Dart solution to last year's Advent of Code challenges
1·2 years agoTrue. I’m certainly at the point where quick jobs that I would have once done in Python quite often get done in Dart instead, avoiding the “context switch” of having to think in Python for that one task.

Programming@programming.dev•I'm posting a daily Dart solution to last year's Advent of Code challenges
1·2 years agoYes, when I did a search, I found I had a choice between two quite small and inactive communities, so I went for the slightly larger one. I’ll crosspost today’s post to that community see if it stirs up any more interest.

Programming@programming.dev•I'm posting a daily Dart solution to last year's Advent of Code challenges
3·2 years agoYes, I really adopted it due to Flutter, but the dev team really are doing great work to make it a nice language, especially with version 3.

Technology@lemmy.world•Results of the "Can you tell which images are AI generated?" surveyEnglish
3·3 years agoOof. I got about 65% on the images I hadn’t seen in the post. I must be pretty close to being replaceable by an adversarial network.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Sign language is just radio communication but on another frequency

Technology@lemmy.world•Get ready for light-based Wi-Fi (Li-Fi), because it's now an official standardEnglish
11·3 years agoSince light bounces off walls and is thus confined to individual rooms, there is less interference and higher bandwidth, and traffic is harder to intercept from outside.

So sad that everyone’s talking about the phone calls rather than asking if Gail’s okay.
I wonder how Katy is doing these days. I like to think she’s plugging away as a communications manager for a major mid-west insurance broker, but in her head she’s still PeNgU1N.
