This is irresponsible of the owners. While it is harder to knock any aircraft, large or small, out of the sky than most people think, sooner or later it is going to happen. The rotors spin realy fast and any contacht with another object destroys them and most multicopters can't compensate the loss of one rotor, especially when it has only lost one blade and starts to wobble.
Larger multicopters can easily weigh up to 10 pounds, the heaviest single parts are the batteries. My (traditional) helicopter weighs about 8 pounds, half of which goes to the two flight batteries with about two pounds each. You don't want it to fall on your head without warning and you also don't want any contact with the main rotor. It can kill, which unfortunately already has happened when the owner lost control over the model.

Yeah - watched the Canada Day fireworks and near us was a guy with a (loud) drone watching the fireworks through his phone.
There, in front of him, in full Read-D, were the fireworks.
He is glued to his screen watching it via the drone.
It was the perfect symbol of everything I hate about the misuse of technology. It was actually sad.

I have no idea who was controlling the ones I saw but, yes, that is sad.

Back in the good old days, when I worked in C++ I would use the class view in Visual Studio as my primary means of navigation. When I switched to .NET, I stopped using it and switched to solution explorer which seems to be the norm amongst the .NET crowd.
These days, I tend to use Resharper to get where I want to go quickly, but let's not muddy the point with that.
Thing is, I don't know why I switched (it might be the presence of annoying namespaces), and I still think in classes rather than files - don't we all? Today, I'm going to go back to the old ways to see how I get on.
Do people still use class view or know the cause of its demise in popularity?
Regards,
Rob Philpott.

Probably because the best practice in .net is one class per file and to use folders for your namespaces so in a way the solution view kinda is the class view, but you get all the other stuff as well that aren't classes.
Though I dare say most VB.net solutions probably warrant the class view more
*find Form14*
*find TextBox31*
*or is it Button17 I'm after*

I've never used class view.

I use the class view indirectly - i.e. by the class member drop-down at the top right of the source window. It's my primary means of navigating to methods and properties.

With C++ and MFC I use class view when I want to add message handlers or virtual functions (and that does not happen often nowadays).
Other than that, solution explorer and Visual Assist.
I'd rather be phishing!

Solution explorer, partly because I always have, partly because there's usually more in a solution than just classes.

Depends what I'm doing. For the most part, solution explorer is the more useful view. I have no idea as to whether or not class view was ever popular and, therefore, suffered a demise thereafter.

Always been Solution Explorer for me.

Solution Explorer primarily. But I wonder if the Class View would help in managing partial classes implemented across multiple files....

Hmm, I'll have to try class view. It's alphabetic, which is useful.

Let's see. Ruby. Javascript. Python...
Honestly, I don't think most developers really understand the purpose of classes and how to use them. Certainly in C#, I imagine the popular concept of a class is "well, methods have to be wrapped in a class."

There was a lot of fanfare around the upcoming Anniversary Update for Windows 10, including Windows Subsystem for Linux.
However, the planned release date of August 2nd has come and gone, and there seems to be not a sign of the final version.
Anyone heard anything?

Recently I found myself looking through a textbook to find some data time stuff, and I found it somewhat refreshing to go to an index page then turn to a page? Does anybody else find themselves looking over textbooks and manuals for your questions and how to?
