It is most definitely not. SpaceX is certified to launch whatever they can given their launch vehicle capabilities. There is only a very small number of people at SpaceX that need secret clearances for DOD or AF missions, and it’s mostly mi

I don’t see how zero cost abstraction has anything to do with binary size. It’s about runtime efficiency of language features. Optimizing binary size is a worthy and important goal because some people have uses cases where it matters. If yo

For a moment I thought this would be a culinary introduction to cooking shrimp.

Without GPL enforcement you end up with closed source too: they take it, modify it, and don’t distribute their changes. Fuck them. If they want to get freebies then they have to share. If not they are welcome to write their own from scratch

Are you doing the online classes or only the books? I wanted to register for the online classes but they seem to be heavily oriented towards interactive learning.

Reality is that some schools do and some don’t. Like most things in life it isn’t black and white. I took an intro to computing systems once and we spent all semester using GDB to debug homeworks. We even had some extra credit assignment th

ZN tuning is taught in engineering schools in the US. I even had a lab on it. As far as I remember it was kind of painful to work through and didn’t yield that much better results than hand tuning. Ah I remembered something else… it needs t

Well, you were siloed to whatever _local_ BBSs existed and you could dial without paying a fortune for long distance calls. If you lived anywhere outside select urban centers then you were out of luck. So yeah... let's count our blessi

Cultural, personal and ideological (oof, what a word... kind of a red flag) are just proxies for "people _I_ like". Go far enough down that path and that is how you end up discriminating people for how they look/think/ex

And don't forget about thrust vector control... talk about complicated moving mechanisms.

Nope. You can (and will) take a lot of work home in the space industry. And remote work is definitely allowed. This is most likely an intelligence/defense agency or contractor, working in secure environments where you can't take w

Both are right... it depends on so many factors. I've (subjectively?) found older eggs to create more shell fragments when cracked this way. The only hard truth is that the egg will break in whichever random way it wants to.

You can go above appraisal, you just have to cover the difference in cash. It’s pretty standard in high demand markets.

Precise location _is_ GPS, not the other way around.

I think it would be hard to push out such a feature in such a short span. Beeper’s userbase is tiny and not an immediate security threat to Apple.

Ha! Such an old trope... it's not even worth arguing against it. We benefited then and continue to do so from space exploration.

You can throw N% of GDP at _anything_ and come out empty handed if the project is mismanaged. While true that the Apollo missions had the political and financial backing of the most powerful country on Earth it was by no means an assured su

I felt the same way. Also, asking for things to be "simple" is an empty ask because nobody is trying to come up with ways to make things more complicated on purpose. It is very hard to take action on such ask. Going to the Moon&#x

You made it even worse by quoting an urban legend and trying to pass it as personal experience. Also, graphite shavings are bad for your lungs and they float everywhere in low gravity.

"Hey, car 1812 needs a new restroom toilet and a couple of new seats." "Lead time on the toilet is 21 days from the manufacturer." "Uff, 21 days? That's more than 10! We will have to junk the whole car."

Using the cloud is not required, you can set everything up with local access. Certain products, like Protect, do require cloud access. But not the base networking stuff.

I transpiled ed’s C code to Javascript so I could run it with node.js. Now I can finally run ed under Windows and replace notepad.exe.

Thank you for this great explanation of where "singularity" comes from in this context. Always wondered.

dang: could you unflag? It's frustrating when some things can't be discussed on HN because they are insta-flagged as a way to silence them. Although this one is a touchy subject the article does raise some interesting points which

This one is sure to elicit strong opinions here on HN. People quickly jump to point out how the average quality of life in Europe is so much higher than in the US. And rightly so, that's not even up for debate. But why does having high

And he doesn’t realize that what keeps it from spreading to the rest of Europe is precisely NATO. So ironic.

What I’m reading here, honestly, is that mainstream Europe would readily abandon Poland, Ukraine, Finland and who knows whom else, if it meant not having to lift a finger against Putin. Not a good look my dude. This is why Poland has been s

Hey! Cool project! I have a question: why do you dump out sys.argv to a local file in the CWD? [0] tmp.txt is hardly a unique name… or am I missing something? [0] https://github.com/chriskiehl/Gooey/blob/be4b1
