I'm not sure how to respond to this because it's really just ignoring what I said entirely (maybe due to a lack of context?) and instead responding to things that I didn't say. "Supersonic for supersonic's sake&qu

See the pesky thing is that if you actually read the paper you've been linking as opposed to just running with "NASA said it's possible", you'll notice that like I alluded to, at Mach 1.3 (theoretically!) "bo

Bear in mind that despite carefully worded PR, "Boomless cruise" is 1) not guaranteed to be "boomless" 2) is much slower than would make all the rigmarole of supersonic flight worth it even when it is "boomless&qu

Like which ones? Bear in mind that despite carefully worded PR, Boom has very much not somehow surmounted the laws of physics to eliminate the sonic boom that caused the Mach 2+ Concorde to be banned from going supersonic over land.

Replying to point 1 (especially with this argument) while completely ignoring point 2 makes very little sense to me.

Yeah, in my opinion the point that "wouldn't it be nice if this was faster?" becomes a real issue is the point that you would feasibly need to get your day's sleep en route with today's airliners, because it's

If the point of a Google Photos app is to access / back up your photos via Google Photos (web), then it seems rather dubious that making API calls to a cloud server is an endeavour that takes hundreds of megabytes of code and resources

1. The in-flight time from LA to Dubai is not 24 hours. A direct flight between the two cities is more like 15. If he was on a "24 hour flight", it was a flight with a stopover, which just goes to show the point about air travel t

That's a wonderful way to dodge the point entirely, keep it up!

Why do people assume that clothes (and other goods, mind you) produced in the US are a mere hypothetical? There are plenty of brands that do so, and your general public overwhelmingly ignores them (and, as you have just demonstrated, don&

Cooking is very much a technical skill, much more so than following a readme to install and set up some end-user-targeting project or other. I've seen too many flat-out horrendous meals from people who self-describe as "knowing

Jumping to conclusions about what "kitchen skills" means aside, the fact that nobody is born with them is precisely the point. Congratulations, you understood it! Slightly less facetiously, "anyone can follow a recipe" m

Clothes are nowhere near as heavily automatable as people like to believe they are, is the problem. Unlike many other goods, nearly every article of clothing produced today is still produced with human hands. This does not mesh well with th

This seems like a non sequitur to me. What does (general) better living and working conditions arising from better technology and cheaper energy have to do with which jobs are considered "good" and "bad"?

by filleduchaos 10mo ago
Many people very much cannot cook because they have poor kitchen skills (or even none at all). "Anyone should be able to follow a recipe" is far from reality, especially since the vast majority of recipes are not written for the k

"If you don't agree with us on everything" and it's someone whose wedding Goebbels and Hitler attended? Interesting.

I'm starting to realise that many of Framework's strongest soldiers have probably never touched a laptop other than a MacBook or similar in decades. The ability to upgrade the motherboard is niche yet genuinely cool, but instead I

Hinging your impression of the domain on what Google (notoriously not really a player in the gaming world) tried and failed will not exactly give you the most accurate picture. You might as well hinge your impression of how successful a g

No, one of the pilots put the plane into an aerodynamic stall because they had failed sensors giving them erroneous airspeed information and he kept overriding the other pilot who was doing the correct thing to recover from the stall he

What does the AF 449 crash have to do with the existence of a button to return the aircraft to wings level + zero vertical speed? To answer your question though, LVL has been around for close to two decades now. IIRC there was a Cirrus&#x2F

It doesn't. You might be thinking of libraries that you wrote, not packages from e.g. npm, which are distributed as JavaScript + type definition files not as TypeScript code.

A screenshot (better yet, a GIF) gives you at least a basic idea of what the engine's renderer can do. You can push triangles and run shaders in pretty much every UI framework on earth and yet for some strange inexplicable reason peopl

Oh yes, there is definitely a reputation of snobbery and rudeness. But I was trying to be somewhat fair/neutral :)

Well yes, that's what I mean, quality cleanup is not what I'd call a compression algorithm. And as you say, arbitrarily applying quality cleanup is making assumptions of the quality and creative intent of the submitted videos. It
