wasn't the co-pilot on the cockpit side of the door? maybe they should fit the doors the other way round

Imagine the pilot left, then the co-pilot thought, "Hey, I need to relieve myself too" and he leaves the cockpit.
What then?
No way into the cockpit.
No radio contact.
No way to control the plane.
You may be onto something...
"Sit pilot, stay."
Even better, they start wearing fighter pilot suits and they can relieve themselves right there in the cockpit. The doors do not disengage unless the plane is on the ground.

So how would the stewardesses get in to serve the pilots (coffee)???

Vacuum tubes!!!
BTW, thanks for clarifying with coffee.
Although, vacuum tubes could probably also serve other purposes too!

or bring back three man flight crew? or install rest rooms in cockpits (maybe not if that aircraft that had to turn back after someone had left a pong in one is anything to go by)

Place a third pilot in the cockpit and two must remain there at all times.
Problem solved (this particular problem anyway).

have a questionnaire before take off, note the number of passengers who put occupation down as terrorism and then ensure you have one more pilot than terrorists - problem solved

I know!
Let's replace all aeroplanes with the drones that Amazon is developing. They could pick up each passenger from home, and drop them (literally!) at their final destination.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

as long as they don't use parcelforce, as you would get dropped at the local depot and a bit of paper stuck though the letterbox of your destination saying you can be collected between 10.15 and 10.30 any first Tuesday in the month except those ending in y

I feel like that would have been a more appropriate title than "No, it's not always quicker to do things in memory". Of course it's not, when you decide to do it in memory the slowest way possible (namely, but concatenating strings repeatedly). And the other scenario mentioned (prefixing a string) is also easily handled (a certain somebody wrote a certain article on how to do that, but I won't mention any names).

Back when I was being trained by Charlie and Ada, we never even used string as they were just too damned slow!

Ada ah I remember her well but she was a little slut; all those packages coming and going and the occasional rendezvous, made my stack overflow.

I didn't realise Charlie and Lola did development training. I know they want kids to program earlier, but isn't that taking things a bit far.
Lola says: "You must absolutely completely remember to check that variable thingy's are not the same as null before using them to get at other thingys".
"If you don't fail at least 90 percent of the time, you're not aiming high enough."

what?
string builders do do it in memory (how else would they do it?) they just don't create new instances for each concatenation
(yes I know it could write it out to disk)

Yes, obviously. That was my point... that the title and angle of that article are sensational and didn't really demonstrate anything. Had they used a StringBuilder to construct their strings, they would not have come to the conclusion that the hard drive was faster. In fact, since files are mutable data structures, they essentially used the hard drive as a StringBuilder (albeit a very slow one)
