I’m curious why they didn’t deploy diagnostics in the field if they couldn’t replicate in the lab? Every few months for 7yrs is a lot of opportunities to iterate on collecting field measurements. And it could be done in a holistic way that

I’ve always that forums are much better suited to corporate communications than email or chat. Organized by topics, must be threaded, and default to asynchronous communications. You can still opt in to notifications, and history is well org

The bullet points for using Slack basically describe email (and distribution lists). It’s funny how we get an instant messaging platform and derive best practices that try to emulate a previous technology. Btw, email is pretty instant.

C libraries have advertised "header-only" for a long time, it's because there is no package manager/dependency management so you're literally copying all your dependencies into your project. This is also why everyon

Licensing generally applies only to the thing being licensed and not its output. Otherwise all software written with a GPLv3 editor would also be GPLv3…or all software built with a GPLv3 compiler would be GPLv3. (Neither are true)

Maybe I misinterpreted the statement - I thought it was talking about the time from detection to sending the command to the satellite, not the time until the satellite actually took action.

My house originally had a recirculating pump for the hot water but it burned out. Somehow though, it still (mostly) worked and had instant _warm_ water. I think it was through natural convection/circulation - the hot water expanded in

Growing up (born in late 70s), all I heard was “OMG OVER POPULATION” and how the planet can’t support the projected N billion people who will be living on it. Now the birth rate actually slows down to correct itself and we’re not all breedi

Not a belief, but my experience. Maybe I've had a blessed experience with LFS? It's always "just worked" for me.

From the user's perspective, when setup correctly Git LFS is transparent and they don't see the text pointers - the binary files are replaced on push and pull to the server. It's the same user experience as Perforce? Yes, Git

by jasonpeacock 1y ago
Perforce’s binary support is basically equivalent to Git LFS, it does the same thing. What does Perforce binary support have that Git LFS doesn’t? AFAIK, the base issue that Perforce is already in use and it has enterprise support.

It's not that slow? Cargo only recompiles the crates that you edit, after the first build of the dependent crates it's quick to iterate. Compilation is not the bottleneck, it's the human (me) in the loop that's doing the
