Right, as I said, watch is the wrong tool here. The event in common is the synchronised clocks, or an NTP server. To see the NTP offsets of a machine you can run something like: ntpq -pn ntpdate -q doesn't seem very consistent

I found the movie interesting in that they managed to make the Confederates the good guys by simply never showing a Black person on screen or mentioning slavery. There were a few good stunts and it was worth watching as a historical curios

The alternative is simply to adjust the clock and say why.

There's still a delay with that, as date takes time to run. You need a program that gets the current time, waits an appropriate amount, prints, and repeats. It'll still be slightly off unless you can measure the printing and flo

The problem is using watch you have no control* over when in each second it's getting the time, so it could be nearly a second late (e.g. it's getting the time once per second, but happens to be doing it when it's a few milli

That thread doesn't seem to mention hardware. It would be really helpful to just put hardware requirements in the GitHub README.

You probably intended to say dodecagon - a dodecahedron is a totally different kind of thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodecahedron . It's not that tidy, though, as after a year the moon is not where it start

How do you do that when you don't know the APIs? AI code assistants seem more useful when you're doing something outside your existing experience: different domain, different libraries, different language, etc.

The appearance of rust on the surface of the article's main photo suggests steel. I guess heat from reentry may lead to that appearance on other materials?

An earlier article [1] linked in this one says about 1.2m radius, so ~2.4m or ~8ft diameter. At 48 seconds in the video there's a man standing next to the propped up side and it comes up to his chest, so that seems believable (the oth
