Congress apparently doesn't use CACs, and the photo shown of the desktop shows no card reader to stick a card in.

Yes. It uses the phone number as the user identifier, and the non-phone versions assume that you have a phone that you're using as the primary device, and any other devices are secondary. The primary device is mostly because tablets an

Not only is the King Edward VII a giant lemon, but UK defense spending should be cut considerably. The world is changing, naval combat is changing, and the King Edward VII addresses none of those changes. The King Edward VII is nothing more

If you just read the wiki article, you get a distorted view of the exercise. Gen Van Riper was more interested in "winning" than he was in following the requirements to actually have the exercise result in usable data. Examples: t

Almost all (if not all) UCAVs are for "strike", at this point in time. Which is to say, they drop bombs or missiles on ground targets. The control loop has too much latency for air to air combat right now. Closest that is likely i

The production version of the X-32 was supposed to have a radar blocker fitted over the front of the turbine to hide the blades. Probably not quite as effective as the serpentine duct seen on the F-22 and F-35, but it would significantly re

You can see the same error in The Avengers: F-35B hovering and firing guns from the intakes. I think it's a bad job of converting from a AV-8, which does have internal guns, located under each intake.

No, it's because the engineers have to balance structure weight versus everything else. F-15As are G limited to 7.3G. The Cs are limited to that same amount at altitude. F-18s were limited to 7.5G as well. And both of those are with &q

It's an artifact of the technology they use. US launchers are hot launch: the motor ignites in the cell, and then leaps out under its own power. This has some disadvantages with having hot exhaust inside the ship. Soviet launchers use

It's possible to still use cash on deployed bases. But this reduces the need to use cash for things like: buying from random morale things, like the Fox at the 'Deid.

I'm a little surprised no one has mentioned CheerpX[0] in this thread. It's supposed to run any Flash file flawlessly, because it's running the Flash runtime. Just through a x86 emulator in WASM, so it re-sandboxes everything

Mostly, yes. Some of it is used for protecting the structure (ablative armor, essentially). But that requires much less water than is actually used. This is why Sea Launch's launch platform also had a water deluge system. They're

Memory managers are intrinsically unsafe. Rust generally passes around already allocated memory, but allocating the memory requires that you start with an undifferentiated bucket of bits, so the memory manager passes around raw pointers.

I've got Tailscale setup. It uses Wireguard under the hood, so I don't have to worry about the security of the protocol, just whether I trust the company providing the management. Took just as much time to setup as you did with Ze

I saw this post a while ago in a different forum. My note for it hasn't changed: This is called peppering[0]. It's a counterpart to salting, in that you add a random value to a password to make it harder to reverse the password ha

The special fuel was specially distilled/blended oil. The problem with using it in normal jets is that it is so hard to light that you can't get the engines started without special ignition fluid. This poses the obvious problem fo

You could do it for a TLD without a subdomain. The TLD "tt" does in fact have MX records. But it's a very rare case that a TLD does, and prohibited for any of the new TLDs. For non-FQDN hostnames, it's kinda pointless, a

I, uh... first modified an example, then found the actual example, changed the text, but not all the way. That's why it appears near verbatim from your website.

Something jen729w doesn't talk about, but possibly should: if you have two categories that have similar things in them, have the same IDs in both. For example, I'm a low level manager. I've got an area for admin paperwork. On

Companies very rarely run their own weather models. This is because the models require a ton of computing power. Ex: the USAF current weather model is run on "Thor"[0][1]. It's a .9 PFlop system. And it uses approximately all

Unlikely, if only because it's actually not easy to do that. You'd have to get the container placed at the edge of the ship when in dock, then get the locks on the container undone while underway, then either hope that the contain

Seems like the sensible solution is to have a linux VM and do push everything into the VM to run. Which is what Docker on Mac apparently does, but with less control over doing it yourself. This is the exact workflow that VSCode w/ remo
