You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. It doesn’t require a “lot” of fuel. It depends on the mission profile. And guess what you can do? Run 9 LEO missions with the same booster and throw it away on the 10th with a GEO miss

I remember a long time ago I watched an interview with a high-level ESA French official that derided SpaceX’s efforts on reusability. It was back when SpaceX was still trying to figure out how to “land” boosters on the open sea. I remember

You can technically do this but then you have to write wrapper functions for all relevant syscalls or libc functions to unpack the structure and call the actual thing. Lots of work.

Many vulnerabilities rely on crafting very particular inputs that trigger memory corruption in programs. Unless you happen to have fed that same input to your program when running it under Valgrind then Valgrind is useless for this case.

Honestly, why should I even worry about how they build the machine? My 27in Intel iMac is 7-8 years old and I will probably get 2-3 more years out of it. That's a whole decade I'm getting out of the machine. Probably more than I w

This. C++ is awful in many ways, but it can be much nicer than C for writing _application_ code. Use RAII, avoid deep class hierarchies, restrict yourself to the STL and use smart pointer types for lifecycle management. That’s it for starte

It’s a benchmark of a truly _bad_ economy.

Because it is a national priority for the US government to support Ukraine, and SpaceX and Tesla both have significant relationships, directly or indirectly, with the US government. Especially SpaceX.

Thank you, that’s exactly my point. I couldn’t have said it better myself.

You must pinch it with your thumb and index fingers. Even so, many have become deadly text slayers this way.

But at the same time, they always have struggled in finding alternative verticals to make money from, outside of search and ads. That’s why I always thought their end goal with Fiber was to own the pipe and whatever else was at the other en

I'm still salty about Google Fiber. So much potential and Google just... gave up on it? Google giving up on things is basically a meme now, but back then I couldn't really understand why. Customers raved about it, everyone loved i

Because people hate Musk (understandably so) and since, apparently, we can't hold nuanced opinions anymore, then they must also hate whatever the man has produced. By the way, I absolutely despise the man and his antics, but I don&#x27

Which rocket fuel? There's so many different ones. Methalox engines produce water vapor. Kerolox engines use refined kerosene, so lots of soot and your regular fossil fuel combustion byproducts. And then there's the hypergols, whi

Boca Chica is possibly the best launch location in the entire USA. Not many people realize that it is at the same latitude as Miami! The major issue with Boca Chica was the (literal) handful of residents who lived there, some of which refus

They aren't launching West because they want to, but because they _have_ to. A quick peek at the map will tell you why.

Not quite out of use: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_and_short_scales#Curren... Spain, a large portion of Europe, and many Latin American countries use it.

This makes sense, although I think that as the edge cases get rarer and rarer it’ll be a tossup whether a human could have reacted better.

What a negative and off-putting comment. You are dunking on the work of a teenager putting in time and effort to do something incredible by any measure. You need to take a deep, hard look inside of you, what’s spilling out is not nice. Why

Uninsured driver protection is not socialized, everyone is just forced to pay for it, the state doesn’t pay it. And this requirement as well as minimum coverages will vary by state, for example, Florida doesn’t mandate it. And honestly the

No he didn't. To prove he didn't, for example, look at car and home insurance. Not tied to your employer and not "socialized" either.

You are going to be very surprised when you find out that all your “practical” skills are nothing but the distillation of decades of research and applied science, most of it done at schools and universities.
