Serious question: why don’t you move? I don’t mean it as thinly veiled criticism, I am genuinely interested in the answer.

They probably won't... Links between satellites will use a different routing scheme. Traditional network protocols will "disappear" at the sending ground station, only to "reappear" on the receiving one. A video lin

Their approach of strapping a booster to a plane always seemed misguided to me. If the first step in designing a new rocket is to also design a new airplane, and the largest in the world at that, then I think you are throwing money and engi

The amount of processing that those computers do won’t increase over time, it stays the same. So why use something you won’t need? Also, planes are extremely expensive so they don’t get thrown away, they get constant upgrades. The U2 spy pl

That was clearly tongue-in-cheek. No need to rail against the author. Lay down the outrage pitchforks man.

That's too bad indeed. How would one implement coroutines in Linux/Unix today then?

Your two paragraphs are contradictory. If someone can learn to solve just DP problems by practicing in leetcode then DP is a useless metric or proxy of someone’s ability to reason mathematically. You should have said “the ability to solve D

Funny, I just went through a pre-screen assessment for one of the big ones and it was not one but _two_ DP problems. I could have probably come up with a slow solution using recursion and a bit more of time, but was given only 90 minutes. A

The flight software team did a reddit AMA a while back [0]. They use C++ for writing the flight software (what flies falcon, dragon, etc) running on a customized RT Linux. [0] https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments

This is what I do as well. I append the word “reddit” at the end of all my google product searches if I want to get an honest, high quality review.

I never said they would be running a vanilla distro though. I said "custom" for that reason.

According to the SpaceX flight software team neither Falcon or Dragon run VxWorks, they run a custom Linux (see [0]). [0] https://space.stackexchange.com/questions/9243/what-computer...

Interesting approach to flight software. Where are you guys based? Are you hiring?

Yes, you are correct. I missed the "some thread must always be able to make progress regardless of the state of the other threads".

It was a fascinating and terrifying read. I’m glad you made it out.

FYI lock-free programming does not mean "free of locks" but rather "free of lockups", as in, there isn't any possible arrangement in which two threads could end up blocking each other indefinitely (as could happen w

Because the author wanted to do his own, personal thing? I get the idea behind your question, but it irks me a bit since it implies a sort of responsibility to contribute to an existing piece of software. This is a net positive of course, b

I actually just completed a migration from Authenticator to Authy. I don’t have much to say except that it was pretty seamless. Sync between multiple devices works very well. I’m not a fan of the Authy UI but it does what I need. If you use

Negative _including_ R&D. If SpaceX was to turn around tomorrow and stop pursuing the Mars goal they would probably be in the black within a year: the Falcon platform is completed, Falcon Heavy already flew and block 5 is optimized for

Actually, you are not being pedantic at all. No one in the space industry thought it could be done in a commercially viable way. SpaceX was dismissed time after time by space pundits until it landed a rocket, and then another, and then anot

This comment is deliciously ironic: > Oh, it must be React or Vue. I find them very prehistoric. Modern JS development in a nutshell.
