Roscosmos are working on a launch system with a re-usable first stage, Soyuz-7 or Amur [1]. The renders they've released are basically just a tweaked Falcon 9, except this one will be re-usable 100 times over! Whether Amur will ever fl

So far there have been only 50 visas granted. There are UK citizens that personally drove to Ukraine to get family members out that are stuck in Calais unable to return. It's not good enough.

A bit off topic, but your game's brilliant fun. Just did the worldwide one, got a semi-respectable 23/34. Funny how easy it is to identify North American cities vs European ones. Will definitely share with some friends, great work

I love the idea of Cloudflare workers & really want to play with them in some spare time, but I've not really got any idea what I could actually _do_ with them ... What are people using CF Workers for? Any interesting use cases?

DDR5 include on-die ECC. Which is very different from traditional ECC. But many vendors marketing (and many enthusiasts are talking) as if it's the same. See [0], there's some really good explanations in the replies. [0] https:&#

> Will app developers get access to the Tensor chip? I think this is another classic bit of Google branding. Tensor is their custom SoC with CPU, GPU and an ML co-processor (think this was codenamed Whitechapel). Not the ML processor its

Can this record the output of other audio/music creation apps (thinking like synths, instruments or AUM) or is it just the microphone?

Does Podman offer anything similar to Docker Swarm? I absolutely love Swarm mode (yet to find a simpler way of organising containers over a few small nodes), but do not want to deal with Docker the company.

Vostok 1 is a tricky exception because there was no gurantee Gagarin would be conscious or even alive when he got to space. That mission had to be automated. But he had a role other than just being a passenger. He was there to make observat

Soviet Mars 3 was also the first probe to achieve soft landing on Mars. Like most of the Soviet Mars missions, it failed, but it failed only after landing (unlike most of the rest ...).

There's a lot of effort going into researching ways to make booms from SSTs quieter. NASA's has a low-boom research program trying to turn the booms into "gentle thumps" by changing the shape of plane's shockwaves [
