Q: What is this "No Hand Hold" thing in the P-51 Mustang cockpit?

Jonathan IronsDoes Anybody remember Combat Flight Simulator WW2 Europe Series ? In the P-51, there is a "something" with "No hand hold" text on top of it What is that ? Image source

It's because it's a military aircraft and the crew are supposed to be focused on the mission and not doing romantic things like holding hands. In planes with one seat behind the other, there's also a "NO NOOKIE" sign in the back seat. — David Richerby 11 hours ago

@Ludisposed Keep in mind bashing a language's version in a review is usually not productive. There are lots of reasons people can be stuck with it or have an otherwise valid reason to use it and when people have been around using the language for a while, like me, they know there is a major difference.
 
@Mast actually it's pretty productive for stuff like Java 6 (or even 7 nowadays)
 
11:28 AM
You can point out how it would've looked a heck-of-a-lot nicer in another version, but that's about it.
 
because Java 6 doesn't support SSL certs with key lengths beyond 1024bits (which is below the minimum required for all modern browsers)
 
@Vogel612 Not for languages where backwards compatibility is a problem.
 
even then. because security fixes are a real thing
 
And yes, web dev should go with it's time.
This wasn't web dev.
No servers, no connections.
But you have a good point, the moment security is involved, it is indeed productive to bash the flaws in old versions.
 
@Mast I need to use Python2 for some things as well, (Scapy). For newcomers, I always refer them to Python3. And since you didn't import any Python2 specific libraries, I was wondering what the reason for using this specific version was.
 
11:34 AM
@Ludisposed Right, it's been a while since I explained that. I'm considering putting a notice on future questions.
 
@Mast IMO bashing a language's version can be productive, I needlessly used Python 2. However they shouldn't be the only points, because some users can't upgrade.

This seems like a good question/discussion with your code reviewer. A good code reviewer acts as a mentor and coach and can provide direction and reasoning. Now as a matter of personal opinion, while there are cases where extracting a functionality into its own class/interface is necessary or desirable, I'm not sure this is one of those cases, or I would do it this way. But again, engage in a discussion with your teammate/architect/code-reviewer. And good luck! — Arash Motamedi 24 secs ago

It's an interesting question, but also its hard to envision that this is a real requirement. If you're all that worried about the state of a thread, I think only a core dump will actually reveal the full state. Exceptions don't show heap memory, and that's going to be part of your state. Personally, I think the requirement is bogus and testing and code reviews should be adequate. If you really need to dig into a JVM's guts, only a full memory dump will do. — markspace 19 secs ago
@markspace "testing and code reviews should be adequate": This is part of testing. Code reviews check for style and basic bugs and in no way substitute for testing.
