Just curious. I'm a Rust developer. But I don't see myself discriminating between tools written in C, C++, Rust, Zig, etc. They all seem easy to install and use, as long as they're reasonably bugfree. Scripting languages are

'For fun' is a perfectly reasonable answer. But sometimes the answer to 'why' comes after you do it. I'm sure that everyone has learned something without realizing its utility until the end. Nobody is obligated to a

I can't speak anything about the scientific validity of the theories. But it's true that many modern religions have similar stories about a flood catastrophe. But has anybody considered that this may be because many of the biggest

Depending on who you ask, it can be anything on your list. You can expect such claims (of an advanced ancient civilization) to be highly speculative and probably supporting their version of the history. And it's proposed by everyone fr

While your question is meaningful and well intentioned, let me point out that it may be inconsequential. The legality of an action is moot when the regime ignores and defies the entire basis of those laws - the constitution. It's like

Just a speculation. Some individuals have personalities that thrive in the presence of such negative sentiments against them. They are probably so afraid of being forgotten that they actively seek such sentiments.

I'm Indian. I can use four languages at full proficiency, and am in the middle of picking up two more. I can't explain how confusing and frustrating the past two weeks has been for me on YouTube. But there are people who handle ev

It's the other way around. The app devs select the nominal price and offer it on platforms that don't take the massive cut - on their website, for example. And when Apple forces them to give up 30% of their revenue, they instead r

I also found the conditional syntax (with the condition in the middle) a bit awkward compared to Rust's or even C's. But there is certainly a common operation. And this is the syntax chosen by the Python language designers. I&#x27

Kudos to YouTube for making it to the list of a rare few websites that require browser extensions to deliver a half decent user experience. What's more? YouTube also leaves the competition in the dust in the sheer number of extensions

Does anybody feel sympathy for a terrorist? If your answer is yes, then you're unsympathetic towards numerous innocent others who have or may fall prey to them. Your sympathy becomes selective and meaningless. This might sound like a h

The only editor that I can think of and matches Emacs on any of those points is Lem [1]. It has a few hypothetical advantages over Emacs: - Lem is written in Common Lisp. It's less of a niche language than ELisp. You are therefore like

How does the worldwide sales address the damage they cause to marine ecosystems? That too when many countries regulate their own fisheries industry to avoid the same issue? This is like strip mining public property or someone else's pr

Even if the executables were stable, the ability to precisely pin tool versions is critical for reproducible software builds.

That's what I plan to do too. My current device is locked down pretty aggressively. But the problem here is, what percentage of the population has the skill and patience to do it? These companies need to hold only a simple majority of

The point here is how it alleviates the problem of the tyranny of the rocket equation. But you seem to have made up your mind.

by goku12 1y ago
That's what I did. But as others point out, how many know about this? And modifications are getting harder by the year. They are relying on these factors to ensure that the majority of the population remains exploitable.

This is truly egregious. Facebook and Instagram are installed by default on many android phones and cannot be fully uninstalled. And even if asked for consent, many people may choose the harmful option by mistake or due to lack of awareness

As the other commenter already pointed out, it's the mass that's the limiting factor here, not the cost. The key idea here is that rockets and jets need two things - a reaction mass and energy. Scramjets and other air breathing en

That really depends on how fast you can cruise. High speed scramjets above mach 15 will make space missions possible. The craft will be at the sufficient height and just enough speed, so that a rocket engine won't have to add too much

There are two performance parameters for a rocket/jet engine. The first is thrust and the second is specific impulse. You are thinking about thrust. The others in the tread are talking about specific impulse. Thrust is important for so

by goku12 1y ago
They get this fictitious specific impulse by scaling the effective exhaust velocity by a scaling parameter to account for the fact that the exhaust mass flow consists of extra mass (air), in addition to what is carried onboard (fuel). This

They're referring to the dialogue by Obadiah Stane in Iron man. But it's also appropriate in some sense if you consider how they made the carbon dioxide scrubber in-flight in Apollo 13.
