Hey @clemej what the hell man
@skinnylatte only been there once but hope to go back at some point soon
@skinnylatte it's a favorite of ours too but for slightly different reasons :-)
@skinnylatte gotta imagine that's a favorite at your employer?
@nicdex thank you for doing so.
The passengers looked worried. Even the flight attendants, who knew the passengers looked to them for reassurance were having trouble maintaining their composure. Just then, the captains voice came across the PA.
“Hi folks, as you’ve probably noticed we’ve got a bit of a situation going on. If anyone onboard knows C++, could you please make yourself known.”
The passengers looked at one another, hoping someone would volunteer their knowledge.
Towards the back of the plane, a passenger stood.
“I know C++,” she said, proudly.
The other passengers began to cheer and clap as she made her way to the flight deck fully aware that she might be about to become a hero. She was allowed in by the crew. The door closed behind her. A grueling couple of minutes passed before she emerged again, and started to walk back towards her seat.
The plane was silent.
“Well?!” Asked an anxious passenger.
“They wouldn’t let me rewrite it in Rust,” she said, shaking her head as she returned to her seat.
@AkaSci hah, thank you. Easy point of confusion! Appreciate your work.
@AkaSci Just to be clear, NH already has a very robust on board autonomy system. We're updating it, but it can already respond well to many onboard anomalies!
