What about expander cycle engines is not practical? The RL-10 which uses an expander cycle has been used for a very long time(1962) and it's future looks bright as well[1]. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RL10

I think your forgetting the effects of mining on water quality. Acid mine drainage from mines is a significant problem worldwide and water doesn't just sit around[1]. The Ok Tedi mine is an example of a mine that has far reaching envir

I highly doubt that any company charges that much of a premium for software, you have any sources or examples?

by 2trill2spill 7y ago
Sure, but US hospitals are also known to charge up to 1000% more then a procedure actually costs[1]. That should be illegal. [1]: https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/why-s...

Most but not all American cities have less people now then in the 1950s. But household sizes are much smaller and the amount of Housing units in most cities is actually higher then the 50s as a result of smaller household sizes. However man

How come the Open connect team is more receptive to remote work? Harder to find people to work on FreeBSD and low level C code?

So you can put state that might otherwise exist on the server into Redis. This keeps your app servers stateless which has some advantages.

I really like the work Netflix has done and open sourced back into FreeBSD [1], But I do take issue with one of the slides, where it says "Using FreeBSD and commodity parts, we achieve 90 Gb/s serving TLS-encrypted connections&quo

Funny I had the opposite reaction, I live in Minneapolis and if it gets that cold I'm going on a walk, I've been in -45 and wanted to beat my record. But I also do have a large amount of winter gear.

I'm not writing a CRUD app, I'm writing a program that my company expects to put into production. Writing tests is very much a part of writing production code.

Yea sure, but removing the language as a thing to learn makes it easier to learn concepts needed for programing on the backend. Besides were using Typescript, have automated tests, code reviews and Manual QA, I'm not worried about the

While I agree with you, I just started a new project and we need a decent amount of backend work done, and I wanted to do that in Golang, Java, or Rust, but no one else on the team knows Golang, Java or Rust, just Javascript and Typescript

That's not how it works in the United States. As a non government entity Netflix is perfectly within their right to censor or restrict their customers any way they see fit, as long as they don't discriminate based on gender, race,

The biggest thing I'm waiting for with FreeBSD is the TLS sendfile work that Netflix has done. They have said a few times they are open to open sourcing it, but the code needs to be cleaned up. Also I'm interested in whats been go
