Operating a blimp on Venus would be a bit tougher than on Earth, partly because the density of Venus atmosphere is only 95 % of our air (less lift per lifting gas volume), and also because of the incredibly violent 100 m/s winds, 93 ba

Yes, individual cells filled with lifting gas scale nicely (after all that's how rigid airships are made), but the main issue here is "big", not the actual arrangement or architecture. You need BIG to be able to lift HEAVY.

I'm not sure I understand your point, are you saying that airships don't work? Because the Hindenburg was able to take 100+ people across the Atlantic (86 years ago!), that's much more than the maybe 10-person "luxury RV

So instead of having to move your 25 ton cargo around, you now have to move your 25 ton ballast to be swapped for the cargo at the drop off point so the SkyLifter doesn't yeet itself into stratosphere. The FAQ and literally everything

Can anyone recommend a well made EU-based alternative? The Fieldsheer collection looks great, but duties and taxes.

Not the person you're replying to, but empirically I'd say that it's pretty accurate. I don't know a single person who's into just one conspiracy theory. It's either none or the whole package.

The last few paragraphs of the article strongly hint at that. With the boy carrying a cellphone and the inverter-for-coffee pot stuff and how the line is moving and how the amish are steadily adopting technology at their pace.

I'm a Rails dev at $JOB, currently flirting with Phoenix, and while I think that both Elixir and Phoenix are really solid and even quite enchanting, I don't think they're the best choice for someone's first contact with

I wrote my post too fast, the reticle shouldn't move along a straight line after pitch + roll are applied, but along a different curve. I really need to read up on the physics behind it, but it feels too easy to cancel all the rotation

Unfortunately the model is really simplified and it makes the whole thing infinitely easier than in reality. You can clearly see the weirdness if you start pitching up, say at -0.3 °/s and then add a lot of roll to either side (-2.0 °&

I live in a country where the average salary is $20k and the M1 MacBook Air STARTS at $1330. Devs here still often use MacBooks or similarly priced higher-end machines. So yeah, good laptops are worth it even in much poorer countries.

"Making the item system polymorphic was ultimately a mistake" is so far from "OOP was a mistake" that it's not even funny.

It's always funny seeing native speakers obsess over tiny differences between accents. My non-native english usually sounds like whatever show I've been watching lately on Netflix.

Perhaps an order of magnitude more? You'd expect an airliner at about 4000 ft at 15 km from the airport, assuming it's trying to land. It's also illegal to fly lower than 1000 ft above inhabited areas in most of the world.

That you can fit something inside a plane doesn't mean the plane will be able to lift off the ground. Beluga is meant to carry oversize cargo, but not overweight cargo -- it's based on an Airbus A300 with a roughly 100k lb cargo c

Exactly six of these points are counter-inspired by Ruby, some of those very subjective ("No unless or other counter-intuitive-prone operators"), some duplicate (Ruby meta-programming used twice as a reason). The autor says they l
