Just FYI, for those who aren't neck deep in python land all the time, python is going through a bit of a packaging, environment, and dependency management explosion at the moment. Lots of competing ideas and implementations are being t

I agreee that SpaceX is unlikely to run into any issues with the number of satellites they are putting up, or coordinating those satellites. However! It's disengenous to say land is 2d and orbits are 3d so there is more space in space.

Not quite your main point (which I agree with) but comparing surface area of orbits to the surface of the earth doesn't really help understand the carrying capacity of orbits. There are so many constraints on objects in orbit, the degr

Everyone's suggestions of works that use gunpowder in interesting ways (thank you!) reminded me of David Weber's "Safehold" series[0]. It's not really fantasy, though it does hold to a few tropes, but it explores wh

Unfortunately it's the wrong comparison to make. Two cars sitting still in a car park won't collide with each other, but there's no way to sit still in orbit. Any two circular orbits at the same altitude will intersect at two

And for an online interactive take on the same material, try NandGame[0]! I've gone through both and they're both excellent. Nand2tetris requires a bit more set up, but goes deeper into things like language development. For people

What's your intuition for how many people do have this luxury, and what context do you think it holds in? My company has fully embraced flexibility, so even though many do work in the office it is completely accepted that some days t

The post you responded to originally literally talks about congestion pricing ‘around the world’. Regardless, it’s not like everyone in the US has to drive for work, for the exact same reasons they don’t here. It’s still an interesting pers

> You need a car for work most of the time. This is an interesting perspective. Here in Sydney Australia most households will have a car or two, but most of the people I've ever worked with do not drive to or for work. Another large

There are a few playstyles, both modded and unmodded, that will allow for more of the "we're under attack!" panic and less optimisation of your factory. Ramping up the number of biters in an unmodded world (deathworld) can be

Just FYI, they always ground vehicles after they explode, until the investigation clears them as safe (within bounds of the license). So this is par for the course, and unless the investigation turns up an issue that entails unacceptable ri

I used to consult on JIRA a while back. These complaints seem like they have a couple of potential causes. One very common load time issue is downloading too much data at once, especially on boards. I understand some work has been done to m

I partly agree with you, however it's possible for devices to have limited access to the internet, or even no direct access but still be accessible to devices that are on the internet. If I have a smart device at home I may put it on

Yes that’s what I’m saying. Layoff == redundancy. Maybe I misunderstood the point you were trying to make?

A redundancy is different to being fired, and comes with a payout depending on length of tenure with the company. Fire for cause means "you aren't doing your job properly." Redundancy means "your job is no longer require

The advice I give for resumes is that they fill two roles. The first is like what you say - make sure you check the right boxes. OFten the first person who sees your resume is non-technical, so make it easy for them to progress you on to th

While that is true, it's not typically how the phrase "Australia's history" is interpreted. It's common for "Australia's history" to refer to pre-colonisation in addition to the last couple of hundred

Satellite laser links have been deployed haven't they? And all new satellites going up have the laser links on them, I thought.

I mean, sort of? I believe they have some sort of similar solution in place for free messaging on in-flight wifi. Having a look at how they've done that might give a better idea for what this will look like than speculation. Still, it&

At the event they addressed this, and said they would work with anyone, and that the real issue is making sure that the data is correctly identified as messages and not generic data. This apparently would require back-end work between T-Mob

Diffraction spikes are caused before the lens gets involved; improving the lenses cannot remove the spikes (though there may be structures causing diffraction spikes in-between lenses). The spikes from JWST are primarily caused by the edges

The ones that are obviously spirals appear tangential, but that's more or less saying the same thing. If they weren't tangential they wouldn't be ovious spirals. You can find spirals that are more side-on, and galaxies that a

Ahh you’re of course correct, might still be useful if you don’t memorise the mapping. I should have gone with my gut and generated the first 100 with each scheme to look at what the distribution looks like. Mod 19 scheme feels like it shou

Modular arithmetic can work, but you need to be a little bit careful. If you want a number from 0-10 then modulo 11 works perfectly (as long as you pick a number well outside any 11 times table you have memorised). This is because it's

What are you actually suggesting here? Say that sunrise is at a fixed time every day, for example 6am (to avoid changing the entire system too much). Well sunrise for me might be quite different to sunrise for my neighbour, especially if I
