When you have low gravity and little atmosphere, I can't imagine many scenarios where a spin launcher would be a better fit than a mass driver. One of the biggest problems with a mass driver on Earth is that you need to do it in a vacu

I kinda tried doing this with a custom FDM slicer for SDFs a long while back. I hit some roadblocks, but the concept was pretty simple: slicers by definition need to know what exists in a 2d slice of a 3d object. So why not render an SDF di

I don't think the Firefox OS team was ever bigger than maybe 100 people at the absolute most, and I feel like it was closer to half of that. Admittedly it's been over a decade since I left, so my recollection could be wrong, but i

For an intuitive example of where this is more efficient, consider plane changes. The delta-V for a plane change is 2 * sin(angular_change/2) * speed The higher an orbit is, the slower you're going at apogee. If you're doing

FWIW, Burp also does this. But I'm not sure I'd argue that it actually has a nicer UI ;)

Any chance you could get me some dxd files? I'd love to take a stab at reverse-engineering this and writing a direct converter to something standard. Feel free to email them to me (email in bio).

Based on what I billed out at at comparable shops, anywhere from $250-400/hr. Maybe $500 if one of their more crypto-focused people looks at it, but that'd be pretty unlikely for a whole codebase.

Wut. This is just false. D-Wave provides the "quantum computers" that others have and they're completely irrelevant when it comes to breaking ECC (or RSA, for that matter; ECC is broken by a variant of Shor's algorithm,

Average police response time is 10 minutes. Violent criminals don't wait that long. Edit: To be clear, this isn't a good reason to go out and buy a gun. We already know that the help isn't coming, which is why the police shou

EVE Online is still primarily one single shared environment, as far as I'm aware. They added instances for some content back in 2018 (from a quick Googling), but otherwise it's not sharded in any way, to my knowledge.
