My guess would be the latter. Ingenuity was primarily a technology demonstration whose failure wouldn't impact Perseverance's main objectives, so the risk was probably acceptable. As for launching several cheap, redundant probes -

That's definitely cool to watch, the patterns of territories get a lot more complex.

Sounds like you're doing good work! Out of curiosity, can you give a layman's explanation of what makes them hard to grow?

Interesting blog post, based on an interesting paper. For a bit more background, there's been a couple of posts on the "minimal cell" concept on Derek Lowe's venerable In the Pipeline blog. This 2016 post [1] talks about

Do you have a link to confirmation that it was a compressor stall?

Much less common than when smoking was allowed on aircraft, thankfully. This article [1] about Air Canada flight 797, back in 1983, gives a good impression of how fires in aircraft bathrooms were much more common back then, which led to pil

I could definitely imagine SpaceX launching another company's station, like what Axiom has in mind. I don't know if SpaceX would want to build a crewed orbital station themselves and operate it; I don't think they want to get

To be fair to reporters, Axiom does both; their first mission had three space tourists as passengers, their second mission had one space tourist and two passengers from the Saudi government (a military pilot and a biomedical researcher).

To elaborate, the Swedish astronaut, Marcus Wandt, is part of ESA's "reserve astronaut" pool; the ESA press release [1] mentions that this "is composed of astronaut candidates who were successful throughout the entire se

Ars Technica's article [1] has more background. The commander is a former NASA astronaut with a lot of experience who now works for Axiom; the three passengers are military officers whose governments have contracted with Axiom. [1] ht

I'm not sure if the credential lists that HIBP pulls from always have the associated service/site. Looking up one of my emails, there's a mix of data breaches of specific sites (which are shown) and big lists of credentials,

There are some libraries that add the kind of utility functions you're talking about; I'm fond of samber/lo [1] myself. I don't know how widely used they are, though. [1] https://pkg.go.dev/github.com&#x2

They haven't exactly covered themselves in glory so far, but I'm curious if there'll be any major change now that Bob Smith is no longer CEO.

Starliner (I assume that's what you mean by CST) is pure Boeing, not ULA. It's also worth mentioning that ULA's probably about to be sold [1]; the three potential buyers are Blue Origin, the private equity fund Cerberus [2],

Definitely agreed that it's not a perfect solution, just that it's better than blindly using `any`. Using type assertions to get around it defeats the point, though, and it is frustrating when people do that.

by DylanSp 3y ago
The Typescript team has been pushing the use of `unknown` instead of `any` for typing data at the boundaries of your app; how much of that has shown up in the ecosystem? EDIT: I definitely agree with your general point, for the record.

Expanding on one point - not just market size, but the amount of competition. As you said upthread, there's no shortage of reasonably popular [1] modern abstract games, there's plenty of other options for people to play. It might

Got a citation on that $2 billion cost for each Starship launch? It's not clear what the exact cost is, but I haven't seen any estimates that are nearly that high.

No need to apologize for the length of your post! It's interesting to read about your experiments. Looking at your example with the psjs elements, it looks like the psjs-bind elements define what fields get captured and used in the pub

Can you elaborate a bit more on the example in your footnote about propagating client-side state? Does that provide functionality similar to Alpine.js's data objects/stores?
