The trick is not requiring propellant. You can’t carry 90 years worth of water or gas. The Dawn spacecraft launched to Ceres in 2007 used up 425kg of Xenon for only eleven days of thrust for its ion engine.

I was under the impression mastering at 48khz and then downsampling to 44.1khz afterwards resulted in better quality due to reduced aliasing.

1440x1440 is 2k, as is 2048×1080. It refers to the total number of pixels. 4K is 3840X2160, but you wouldn’t be wrong to call 2048x2048 4K, especially in a VR display where you have two displays, doubling width, and in the end what matter

It was never crazy, just a wildly disproportionate knee-jerk reaction that ignores the real underlying issues, cultural and legal.

Incidentally in Portuguese “curva”, pronounced exactly the same, means curve.

Why the need to judge and condemn here? If it’s such a common word in Chinese speech, have you considered that it may be a common word for him?

So you agree with censoring foreign words based on your own culture sensitivities.

> blogging take off as a shared response to the US invasion of Iraq Blogging took off because half the worlds population started having access to the internet in the early 2000s. That seems incredibly myopic and US centric.

That sounds great for the environment - let’s grind and hide this pile of trash for a few decades, what could go wrong.

The non standard part is pushing hot air out of the back of the gpu itself - “dumping the heat directly onto the CPU, RAM and motherboard components” to be extracted by the system fan is what every existing design does...

What do you mean? The fan design is pretty standard. Either way it won’t matter, as hot air should be extracted from the case, it’s not gonna meaningfully change the temp on anything it hits.

Reading the linked article before making a comment, not just the title, leads to way more fruitful discussion.

This is not a beginner’s guide, and the author acknowledged he himself has not read the full spec - it’s merely encouraged as a reference to go back to.

Hmm no. It is not coupled to Observable at all, what problems exactly are you facing to use it elsewhere?

That is precisely what I mean about not materializing, reality is not like that. Maintainers make mistakes, are not diligent about following semver, and after enough “minor” upgrades that break everything you simply lose all trust in the nu

You know, software projects are under no obligation to follow semver. I abhor this newfound conformism in tech. Plus, after nearly a decade of programming I can safely say the benefits of semantic versioning rarely materialize. 99% of the t

You must contact the bank first to do that, or use an automated system of theirs, but you can’t just drop the money in their account.

I think you missed the point here. It is not about the benefits of chess or minecraft, but the fact that he started sinking all of his available time into it, and hence didn’t participate in other activities anymore (such as playing chess).

“Demonstrate added value” can be an entirely fictional construct in business environments. Don’t take it literally.

Indeed, it has nothing to do with taking reservations, but providing service which is the crux of the issue. If they accept customers while knowingly not following fire regulations, then yes, it’s wrong and unethical; similar thinking sho
