The amount of light will still be appreciable and will affect many kinds of observatories around the world, even at magnitudes less brightness. You also can't slew a telescope in space like you can on ground, it would be extremely cost

The caching part is (mostly) generally fixable by making sure to always add your source code in two stages - dependency files first, then resolve dependencies, and the rest of the source code later. Rarely is this done though. And definitel

Astronomy isn't limited to the US and the NSF is not the only funding agency in the US. Sure, the annual cost isn't $50B/year, but that's a shitty metric to use, it is textbook tragedy of the commons.

The shelf life isn't the problem. The problem is quantity in the sky (this will continuously be relaunched) and how bright they are. This will ruin many long exposures for many existing telescopes, but you can do some amount of image s

In general, in Go, Java, and Python I've resorted to copying in the Gopkg files, pom.xml, and requirements.txt, and then running the requisite dependency installer for the language (dep, pip, mvn, etc...) and then just copying in the r

You live in a better neighborhood, you get a better education, you likely have healthier food available to you and grocery stores nearby, in addition to a school that probably cares a little bit about that sort of thing. There's still

What would it subvert? You go to a better school, you get a better education, you are more educated and you get a 34 on the ACT. If you go to a crappy school and you get the same score than there's no qualitative difference between the

If they only sold 1400 of them, then more than 10% of them must drive on the 280 every day.

I'd say a "shop" implies less than 150 employees. So there are many "shops" inside Netflix.

You are also not being fair to github then - you can run Github Enterprise Server and it is also "open" in that it's readable (non-obfuscated), debuggable, etc... It's basically a snapshot of what they run at github.com

Well, they've been using Jira forever. Usually when people say this they are referring to either Gitlab or Gitea. Well, it's not like all of Gitlab is fully open source, it's just Open Core, but I'm sure that's a si

This is probably bad advice. Better advice would be to just find a good experiment at a reputable school and latch on. Projects in experimental physics at a good state school are typically a great place for access to a machine shop, computi

I will say I do believe this is a much smaller issue in the bay area (and possibly a few other places), provided you can code okay. If you are looking for a job, say, in Phoenix, St. Louis, Dallas or similar, the HR hurdles are much harder

The E175 is even better than a 787 in 9 seat configuration. It’s a superior experience in economy, and I hope every 737 and CRJ is replaced by it.

There’s a lot of mixed reviews of New Mexico in this thread. I would encourage people to go. If you are a fan of the outdoors of Utah and Colorado, archaeology, and can appreciate the food, I’d highly recommend a road trip. The Gila Wildern
