I frequently see videos from around the world or hear directly from the teachers I know, that the children currently in schools are averse to and perform badly in reading and writing skills and even basic reasoning skills. It's extreme

I think it's a bit of a stretch to include protocols and protocol suites among centralized services. One simple test for this is the question: "How many Xs are there?". For examples, how many email servers, FTP servers or ter

It really boils down to if the individual cares about freedoms. Some hackers don't care about them, and some normies do. Both of them use centralized and restrictive services. But the former does it by choice, while the latter does it

The Kubernetes Book, by Nigel Poulton. A very detailed and well explained book that is updated every year and you get them all for a one-time purchase. Build Your Own Lisp, by Daniel Holden. This is an often cited classic with a lot of prec

Exactly! People seem to believe that this is a problem caused by a handful of individuals at the maximum. If nothing else, dangerous precedents have already been set. The bigger picture is much complicated and scarier!

If this is what you make of the current atmosphere, I'd say that you're severely underestimating it. In fact, the entire US seems to be in denial and sleep walking into a disaster. Everything that has happened so far was predictab

I buy ebooks straight from publishers like Nostarch and Leanpub. (In fact, I have an older edition of this book). There are a few books that are sold directly by the authors too. All of them DRM-free. I actively avoid publishers and sellers

Why does it matter if it was Obama or Bush in power? Sure, their politics influence the nation's foreign policies. But domestic partisan politics is largely irrelevant to the international partners. To the foreign nationals affected by

That's an odd headline! It makes it sound like Sandisk is doing something sleazy. Believe me, I'm completely against corporate sleaziness. But this is Sandisk and the other manufacturers just following the demand-supply trends in

This is a very valid criticism that can't simply be dismissed by an inappropriate application of the whataboutism argument. I agree that the current Iranian regime is ruthless and has to go. But history has shown that almost all US int

> People are just way to optimistic instead of realistic. Apathetic is a more appropriate description. This is as optimistic as hoping to not contract lung cancer without ever bothering to quit smoking.

You're correct. I'm just going to add a bit more technical context here. The process of keeping a steady orbit is called 'station keeping'. Similarly, the process of maintaining the correct orientation/alignment is

I'm not too offended by this answer. We all reach for it before we seriously think about the debugger. But debugging should be treated as a specialist skill that's almost as complex as programming, and just as empowering. There ar

Thank you for your kind words! Glad you liked it! It's during instances like this that I wish I really wrote things down and preserved them.

They never said anything about keeping their messages away from Google. It's about having some agency. One fine morning, you'll find yourself locked out of your gmail account and every other Google service because they just decide

Thanks! I figured that you had a reasonable understanding in this subject. But I still couldn't help just laying it out. I have some background too - as a professional.

Let me see if I can. Before we go to space, let's try something on the ground. Imagine pitching a ball horizontally. What do you expect if you pitch it too slow? The ball will curve more towards the ground and meet it early, won't

Blowing up something in the same orbit as the targets isn't an effective strategy. The explosion disperses the fragments into different orbits that intersect the original orbit only at one or two points. And even if some of those fragm

The 'expendable mass' is almost never a solid or liquid. It's the gaseous combustion exhaust or plasma exhaust from the satellite's thrusters. The advantage of gases is that they just expand and disperse fast enough to b

Just to elaborate the correct reply given by the others, the perigee of all fragments will be less than or equal to the altitude at impact point. If that's low enough, they will all eventually decay and deorbit. Even the fragments in e

by goku12 9mo ago
You're right that all the fragments will pass roughly through the impact point in orbit. But it's not always the periapsis. 1. The normal or anti-normal delta-v imparted by the explosion/fragmentation (i.e, the velocity impar

That depends on how you define risk. If it means the probability of a collision, then you'd be correct. But if a collision does happen, the consequences will be worse than being in the same orbit. Based on an oversimplified model, debr

That's the Kessler Syndrome. But it's better if it happens in a lower orbit, irrespective of what assets are present there. Space will be free for exploration again in a few years since all the debris there would eventually decay

How illegitimate do you have to be, if your power is so threatened by protests that you're willing to put a teen to death? Any regime that oppress criticism deserves the noose.

Sure! They all have overinflated egos that're propped up by PR shenanigans and doesn't match their demonstrated achievements. But their opinions are more likely their aspirations rather than oversimplifications. What follows is my

It's an attempt to appear as a nonconformist that a genius visionary has to be (from their perspective). SBF did the exact same thing.
