There was similar post with ARM Chromebooks. A few years ago it was impossible to find stable ARMs which could sustain decent load without crashing. Company had to buy bunch of Chromebooks, strip batteries and put them into rack.

In my experience from communist Czechoslovakia, western stuff is not actually prohibited. It is illegal for peasants, but communist elite can enjoy all luxuries they can effort.

I counted dozens ATMs out of cash in Athens. And technically ATMs are still not working, since there are strict withdrawal limits. And card did not worked, otherwise Greeks would just raided shops, buy stuff, and empty their bank accounts.

Nice problem to have. I work on database engine, and full test suite takes about 2 weeks. After adding concurrency test, it might take a few months. I started migrating to AWS spot instances to make this whole monster manageable.

I am sure helicopter can not be damaged, since it is much bigger. Blades at almost supersonic speed will slice everything like a butter. I seen it in movie. Firefighters are probably just worried about expensive drones ;-)

Had similar problem, now I can sustain 10 hours with no headaches. Here is what works for me. - get your eyes tested. I have small astigmatism, not enough for glasses, but it was causing headaches. I got glasses anyway. - Recheck your eyes

There is great sci-fi novel Voyage from Stephen Baxter which describes such minimal mission. It is alternative history where NASA landed on Mars in 1980-ties.

Good suggestions, I will do that. I do not mention name or url, since it feels bit like a spam. My project is (hopefully one day will be) competition to Redis.
