I'd argue that it's not exactly "better", but more that it just makes different tradeoffs. Using a full well-written* dependency for something not part of your "core competency" (even something seemingly trivia

But would the alternative of designing and manufacturing many different aircraft be cheaper? And would it be as effective? For it's faults, the F-35 is a weapon that can be configured and deployed at the drop of a hat for just about an

Wow I can't believe I'm seeing this on HN! I worked with the co-founder Mark Steckel, and he is about as good as they get. He takes privacy and security VERY seriously (he's the only person I know that actually uses PGP!) and

This is really off topic, but wow I think imgur is finally unusable on mobile. I just spend the last couple minutes trying to view that picture and had nothing but issues. It first opened in the imgur app, but there it only showed a zoomed

>it takes about an hour to charge a tesla most of the way full at a supercharger. while you aren't wrong (it's actually much longer than an hour from low-charge to 100%!), there is a caveat that charging in the 20-80% range is

well to be fair, with a Tesla Model 3 it's not "park and charge for 2 hours", it's "park and charge for <20 minutes" in most cases. (assuming it's at a tesla supercharger) I feel like throwing out exact

Personally, while I wouldn't say that mixed teams "don't work", they are much harder. Specifically for management. The managers need to enforce that all meetings have to include remote workers. And I mean ALL meetings

To be a bit more specific, we can't send something up to fix this because it's magnitudes further away from the earth than Hubble is. JWT will be ~1.5 million km away from earth, in a special orbit around a spot called the "L

But there are genuinely things that can't be feature detected. A bug that happens 1% of the time due to reasons still unknown, or features or bugs that need something to happen on the user or hardware side to detect. For example, I had

Yeah I don't support gating entire sites behind checks like this outside of some situations (like it's a tech demo using a new browser API, or a public beta where they want to limit it to a few browsers until it's stable enou

Sometimes, but not always... For example, the Edge bug was at [1]. It didn't reproduce when the devtools were open, it only happened if the optimizer tried to optimize it which was non-deterministic, and it would only trigger in some c

In my experience, while many people don't like to admit it, useragent detection is still one of the best ways to handle many bugs and edge cases in large applications. Feature detection works well for new features or well documented fa

If you don't know about it, pcpartpicker.com is a fantastic resource for building a new system. It makes researching and comparing a bunch of brands and parts as well as waiting for the best times to buy a breeze.

I'm far from an expert on this, but I believe the biggest benefit to phased array antennas is that they don't have any moving parts, and adjusting where the signal is pointing is almost instant. As long as the "pizza box&quot

But it'll also be a device that will most likely blast RF all over the place. I can't imagine finding a transmitter capable of reaching LEO being all that hard for a country.

There are a few major differences between those and starlink. Most other satellite internet attempts/successes are in geostationary orbits, so the latency due to the speed of light makes it a non-starter for many situations. Starlink i
