Yup. Someone should make a new graphic.

It’s straight up unconstitutional. It doesn’t matter what the speech is, the government cannot make rules that discriminate on the content of the speech.

Small is relative. They’re about 7 inches in diameter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ub6HdADut50

It takes time for the barges to return the booster to the launch pad. They want to be able to launch Starship, have the booster land back at the launch pad, have the arms set it back down on the ground, and recycle the booster for another l

Honestly we should just stop funding the ivy league schools entirely. Their endowments are large enough to keep them running on the interest indefinitely.

Yea, it is pretty harmless. I suppose someone might be interested in any books you currently have checked out, but beyond that there isn't much.

You can just leave those entirely empty these days.

What I think is funny is that lumber and carpentry over there are done in units of 300mm for exactly the same reason we use 12 inches per foot: divisibility. Divisibility by 10 is useless for these types of projects, but divisibility by 3 a

What’s weird is that debuggers are so advanced now. rr and Pernosco are to regular debuggers like regular debuggers are to inserting an infinite loop into your code.

by db48x 2y ago
It is entirely possible. What you’ll find is that your C++ code will become more and more like Rust in how it manages ownership of things. The better you get at this the fewer bugs your C++ code will have.

When you lay it all out like that it’s even worse than I thought.

This is the reason why Rust compiles every program statically, except that the resulting “static” binary still has to link against libc.
980.
by db48x 2y ago
It’s extra work, but I don’t know that it is necessarily insane. If libc was under the complete control of the kernel developers, then that gives other languages fewer options. Go famously (or infamously) uses certain syscalls without going

by db48x 2y ago
Lol, that only works if you can force everyone on the platform to go along with it. It is a nice solution, but it requires you to control the c library. Gentoo doesn’t control what libc does; that’s either GNU libc or MUSL or some other thi

Yep, you pretty much have to enter a name when the question asks for a name. Doesn't actually have to be your mother's maiden name or whatever though.

Because electric charge is quantized, so measuring it in thirds is just dumb.

https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/992/402/c35... But seriously, it really is time to fix all the chemistry textbooks so that the charge of the electron is +3 instead of −1.

I don't see why 25Gbps symmetric would be so surprising. My current ISP Ziply Fiber offers 100Mbps, 300Mbps, 1Gbps, 2Gbps, 5Gbps, 10Gbps, and 50Gbps (all of them symmetric) in most of their service areas. I’m sure there are other provi

by db48x 2y ago
Not quite so. They did end up measuring a multiple of the fundamental electric charge. The experiment really measured 3e, 6e, 9e, etc. It turns out that the electron and proton have an electric charge 3× bigger than that of a quark. Since t

A poor engineering culture usually exists because management broke it, rather than because the engineers failed to create it. Of course I have no insight into how Elgato is run, so I am not pointing fingers. I merely state that there is cer

Wow, if I’d known about that contract I’d have bid $500 million. I could hire some folks and get that done.

The flashing and corruption problems point to a very poor software engineering culture.

Yep, I do something similar as an alternative to subscribing to things on Youtube itself.
