A single pellet contains a lot of atoms. The current process is able to fuse some of those but soon the plasma cools down. The goal is to start fusion by compressing the pellet using lasers and then use magnets to keep the plasma (charged,

I suppose you could look at it as a spaceship. We have know for centuries that all you need to go high is a big fire pointing down, but soon realized that the hard part was maintaining the fire long enough to reach orbit or other planets. A

It seems robotics suffer from the same problem as AI: every-time it advances and come into contact with the public, it becomes something else. I explain: we already have an incredible successful robot. It’s the roomba (and it’s imitators).

People fail to realize Docker is about packaging. If the author uses docker and you don’t use docker, repackage it yourself! Don’t blame the author for not limiting himself.

He is taking about open source projects, where people donate their time and their code for public use. But that is not enough! It seems they are obligated to write portable code and support all OSes and distributions people happen to use. I

It has been Linux desktop year for at least 15 years now. The state of Linux Desktop has actually being getting worse, not better. From a top with Ubuntu in the first 5 years, to the sad state we see now.

you now containers are just processes, right? This is what they did, but because they didn't need to schedule other jobs on the same machine, kubernetes or even docker would be overkill. In this case, simple VM orchestration seems like

Just as no one carries a winch to counter their vehicle sudden backward acceleration. We just have turning wheels for normal day to day control. It’s much more efficient just having a sane procedure to check which gear you are engaging.

You leave port with 10 replacements for every component of the encapsulated device. Or just a full replacement for it. Hidden complexity in the case of the diesel motor was made possible also because of know failure modes (how many years un

Yes! In the future, a whole car factory will have only one employee. His job: feed the dog. The dog’s: keep humans away from the machines. Just as a ship with dozens of people got replaced by 13: the complexity was encapsulated in simpler i

It’s time and knowledge. It can be simple but first you have to learn it. Given that life is finite and you want to accomplish some objective with you company (and it’s not training dev ops professionals), it’s quite interesting having the

B2 advertises itself as an object storage suitable to applications. This can be thousands of mobile devices using an app to save photos. His use case is, IMHO, right inside what they advertise. The cloud backup is another product.
