See my earlier comment [0] about Rackspace HQ. Apparently they bought the mall for USD 27 million in 2007 [1] so it's certainly feasible, if not cheap. 0. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15922440 1. https:/&

The Rackspace head offices were built in an abandoned Texas mall (Windsor Park Mall, now The Castle, in San Antonio [0]) which is a nice recycling of an otherwise dead space... 0. https://blog.rackspace.com/get-an-inside-loo

But if the idea is that I want `foo6()` etc to always be executed, wouldn't I just handle the rebase from master by resolving the conflict as follows, instead? foo(): foo1() foo2() foo4() foo5() foo6()

I dunno. Looking at the 'up-armoured' tanks in some articles, it's clear they have no real idea how slat or spaced armour [0] is actually supposed to work, and are just cargo-culting the improvements based on news broadcast i

I think the reason people are 'dumbfounded' is that IS are display a level of rationality and critical thinking that seems entirely at odds with their irrational and uncritical cultural-religious-political beliefs.

The Katyushas can't hit Tel Aviv. From Gaza, the only system that can threaten Tel Aviv is the Fajr-5, which were fired at it for the first time in 2012. The linked chart [0] shows that most Katyusha/Quassam rockets have a maximum

Not necessarily. 'Honest John's Genuine Rolexes and Used Cars' could well provide support and warranty for the watch they sold me. It may even be in Honest John's best interest to fix at least minor issues, to prevent me

The UK Starstreak [0] missile seems to be trying for a compromise with a combination of relatively high speed (Mach 4.0) kinetic tungsten penetrator with a very small (again, relatively) 450g high explosive charge. It's an odd looking

I'm going to hazard a guess that it's actually very hard to make a sub -sonic rocket!

I think Iron Dome has a high success rate due to the type of missile. Mostly 80mm unguided 'Katyusha' and 122mm 'Qassam' unguided rockets, which are destroyed by multiple interceptor missiles with proximity fuzed explosi

Wow, I hadn't actually thought of this. So, I assume that's why you go for hit-to-kill kinetic warheads, then, and just solve the accuracy issue rather than accuracy plus tricky timing issues?

This is actually really common. I can't remember if it's Linux or Windows specific, but it is almost always caused by code like this: result = some_system_call(argv); if (result == ERROR) { do_something_else();

Well, of course designing an autonomous system to operate in an environment where malicious actors are actively spoofing and jamming your sensors with pathological inputs is a pretty huge challenge - admittedly one the military is probably

To prove the earth is not 10k years old, you could simply prove that it is 4.5G years old, though. The inability to prove a negative is only valid for binary issues, this seems binary but is actually a statement about a value on a conti

Sure, maybe, but that'd be only after they are tried and convicted of treason. At the moment they must be assumed innocent (until proven guilty) of treason, and have all the rights of any accused person in the US justice system.

And the "n-cube" is the "measure-polytope" because you can use squares to measure 2-space, cubes to measure 3-space, hypercubes for 4-space and so on...

Well, if it had hit Earth, it would have happened without astronomers (or anyone else) knowing about it beforehand. As you point out, it was discovered after it had passed us, so there was no advance warning at all, however this is quite

The only working telescope at a Lagrange point is Gaia [0] at Earth-Sun L2, but it is an astrometry instrument, designed to measure the position and brightness of various stars, rather than generic deep-space imaging. The Herschel Space Obs

Really interesting article about subsistence hunting for food, but also a great design, with scrolling taking you through a beautiful slideshow of images of hunting and nature.
