Those leaks, debris ejection and the (mild) loss of attitude control seem to have started right after SECO. And that isn't very surprising because engine shutdown can cause huge disturbances (shock) in the engines and related plumbings

From what I could gather from the commentary, they were pushing the limits of the booster's control capability. But the booster exploded on engine ignition. They are separate aspects, though they may be related. The commentators also s

I have trained people on network technologies, including the younger generation. It never ceases to amaze me how much they can get done without a clue about the underlying technologies. Sometimes it feels like they have some super power, be

It has been a while since I used Wallabag on KOReader and I have no experience using wallabako (that project wasn't around when I tried Wallabag). But seeing that you're already using KOReader, I don't expect either of them t

I use KOReader [1] on my Kobo. It supports Wallabag [2]. Wallabag offers both hosted [3] and self-hosted options. There's also a standalone kobo client for Wallabag [4]. In addition, Wallabag also supports direct import from Pocket. [1

I believe that your argument is implied in the article. Errors that are expected at runtime must be handled (preferably in the application code), instead of unwrapping it. If the thread does panic due to an unwrap (even without crashing the

That's not what the article is saying, despite what the title implies. He is saying that while unwrap should be generally avoided, there are a few genuine use cases for it. I follow his advise on error handling, since that's what

There aren't many parser libraries for languages other than ruby. Its Ruby implementation, Asciidoctor, is considered as the reference implementation. However, it's being standardized and the situation will hopefully improve.

It's a community maintained block list. You may be able to do something about it. So, not 1984 all the way.

Almost every single comment on that thread confirms it - this is a self-inflicted damage. You can rarely ask a question or answer one without being overzealously or rudely moderated. Questions are marked as duplicate if they are vaguely sim

That's hardly a corroboration of your assertion. Google is a targeted ad company who offers free and paid services as a honeypot for personal data. Numerous prior incidents prove that. Giving them the benefit of the doubt is imprudent

Here is a non-partisan question. Another thread mentions that there was a minimum of one near miss every month for the last 13 years. I thought that near misses were treated nearly as seriously as full blown disasters. The current administr

I don't know if podman-compose is actively developed, but it is unfortunately not a good alternative for docker-compose. It doesn't handle the full feature set of the compose spec and it tends to catch you by surprise sometimes. B

I don't find LaTeX too pleasant either. But what is preventing Typst from replacing LaTeX in academia?

Wait! Are we talking about strength or hardness?

Well, if you're planning to run a single-node container server, then K8s is probably an overkill compared to Podman Quadlets. You just choose the lightest solution that meets your requirement. However, there was a noteworthy project na

Well, apparently the object causes bunching of other bodies in the Kuiper belt. And it would have got enough time to complete a few orbits. I assume that at some point, the other objects on its orbit would have been thrown off course or con

I did consider the possibility of tapping signals using the EMI from the repeaters and amplifier pumping lasers. But an OFC carries an incredible amount of data over several individual fibers. And each individual fiber carries several chann

I hope you have a reference as to how an optic fiber cable can be tapped like that. I also hope you've seen how heavily jacketed these cables are. The cables are so sensitive to mechanical disturbances (but without interference to comm

By the same celestial laws that stripped Pluto of its planet label, this one would be a planet. Unless you decide to change the rules again.

In other words, PlanetX was a hypothetical rogue planet that appeared unexpectedly from the abyss of deep space and ambushed the unsuspecting Earth every once in a while. It has a dormamu vibe. I see why the scientists didn't like it.

It would be extremely difficult to observe something that far away from the sun, no matter how voluminous it is. I'm not going to scorn at the idea of a blackhole, but I wonder what process can crush that much mass into such a volume.

Org mode is the swiss army knife of content markup languages. It does a lot more than just content markup. But keep in mind that org-mode, markdown, asciidoc, etc don't afford much control on final layout. They're like plain HTML

TikZ and Asymptote are more or less the only general-purpose modular illustration markup languages we have around. Anything better is welcome, but graphical editors are not an alternative in some cases.
