One thing sustainability, fashion and denim: we could start by not artificially preusing it. Also: is it me or about 20 years ago a pair of jeans lasted way longer than they currently do? Maybe thinner materials were introduced for softness

TL;DR: No Some physics: raising 1kg of water by 1k takes 4184 J. Evaporating 1kg of water takes 2260 kJ. Notice the k in kJ. That's 500x better. Regulation has changed, and you can no longer cool down a react by heating river water. Yo

Posting NASASpaceflight's channel as previous thread with the official feed fell off the front-page (maybe too much comments vs upvotes early on?) Older thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35637882

Can't edit this comment anymore nor delete it, as it is too old (threshold at ~2h30 apparently). Please let it sink / downvote it

Copying analysis/speculation from the reddit thread: - in the morning so they've got the maximum amount of daylight to deal with any possible outcome - 62mn max window duration is the limit for acceptable propellant boil off

I wouldn't say there is a lot of excess fuel as a percentage of the mix in exhaust gases, but there is some, by design. Maybe a few percents. Why do we want some fuel in the exhaust? Burning an oxydizer-rich mix is not a good idea, es

You know what works just like the Red Hat model, but yields way better returns? The AWS model. Just take all these tech-tested market-tested open source projects, slap on a new name and bill them by the hour.

Your second link is from 2018, and would indeed need a case study for Loom. For example the concerns about thread-local storage are addressed, and the base overhead is understood (as in: don't use them for CPU-bound worloads, they&#x27
