As an American, my perspective is that Dutch people speak better English than a large percentage of English people and Americans.

New comment by gerad in "Dude, where's my supersonic jet?"

gerad — Wed, 07 Jan 2026 00:40:42 +0000

For most of my trips, a huge % of the travel time is outside the actual flight time. Trip to the airport, security, boarding, waiting to take off, and reverse on the other side (with addition of potentially getting a rental car). This can be solved without supersonic solutions (e.g. flying private), but adoption is low for business travel – is it too expensive?

Separately, I wonder if a lot of the demand is also obviated by in-air wifi.

Guess it's good that space expands faster than the speed of light.

Your linter can tell if a comment exists. AI can tell if it’s up to date.

When you're debugging issues, read the code for the libraries you're using before going to their documentation. It's a great way to get exposed to other people's code.

Here in Marin it’s not allowed to use an e-bike or scooter with a throttle if you’re under 16. Nicely catches all the edge cases.
