Home/End issue is the most frustrating thing ever in MacOS for me (along with cmd+tab unreachable windows if they are minimized already). The solution I recently started to use is this [1]. Seems ok so far (except iTerm ssh to a FreeBS

The idea is interesting, but there are some disadvantages of the app itself (see below). Maybe developers can read this and implement some changes. - the phone should have non-obscured view of the sky. Thus having a phone charging and loggi

Speaking of astropy units. I had a hilarious issue last week, which was quite hard to identify (simplified code to reproduce): from astropy import units as u a = 3 * u.s b = 2 * u.s c = 1 * u.s d = 4 * u.s m = min([a, b, c, d]

Since some European counties now considers recovery of nuclear power [1], the overall emissions will likely actually decrease, even despite this increase due to longer flightroutes. Fuel prices also rise, which yield less driving. 1. https

If antimatter was created during the Big Bang (and it was, we actually just don't know why there is more matter than antimatter [1]) it could exist in issolated-enough patches of the Universe. Photons, gravitational waves or neutrinos

I agree, but make is usually more abundant on much more systems (which is useful when there is no root privileges available). Also people are used to run make when they encounter a Makefile . I personally use Makefile s even to create

Indeed. There are also pretty stunning transits of the Sun (with Canadarm and Crew Dragon resolved) on the photographer's website [1]. But Moon transits are likely much more challenging since it is much fainter as a background than the

From the original starshot project we know that information is exactly the aim. Though at the moment we are not yet on the level of technology to compactify enough the transmition equipment. There is no manuever which can help with 0.2c vel

No, it's not about land, but about people. Russians use casette bombs in cities [1], try to circle and lock cities while continuing to bomb them [2]. Russian pilots know they bomb civil buildings following the orders and continue doing

Buk and S300/S400 are different things. Buk is self propelled all-in-one system, which has four rockets and integrated radar [1]. Buk's rockets range is about 50km. While S300/S400 have mich bigger rockets thus range, 300 and

Sure, nothing personal, one leaves, a thousand of others will do the same with the same reasoning, then a million, ten millions... Who will stay? No idea, but Putin definitely will, putting in danger the whole world.

People from the west may say: well yes, our media is biased also. And that is true, but direction of this bias is different for each media outlet, so by watching something else you can find discrepancies and inconsistencies. While in Russia

I was also surprised by this. I find it absolutely crazy. The reason is that just few days ago the parliament of Russia introduced a law on "fakes about Russian army" with 15 years in prison penalty. What is "fake" is no

The more we are into this, the more I think either Putin is crazy or missinformed, living in an artificial information bubble. Today there was a call with Macron and Putin stated that there was zero assult on civil buildings in Ukrainian ci

I've been once near Mriya during an airshow in Gostomel, at that time (2008) it didn't yet have a ukrainian-flag-coloured stripes on its fuselage. Since I use that photo for an avatar, I always wanted to see it again and update it

The shelling of Ukrainian cities with missiles started right after Putin finished his speech at about 5:00 am local. Starting and ramping up the engines of Mriya might take time plus pilots are also likely living some distance away, plus fu

Likely not, Ukraine is a democracy (unlike Russia, which is Putin's autocracy). Even if such an event happens, next in the line will take the lead, and even more anger will emerge among people. Ukrainians are defending not Zelensky, bu

No, because Russian soldiers get demoralised the longer they stay or fight: noone waits them in Ukraine with hugs, its not their land. Not just Ukrainian soldiers fight with them, but also civilian people resist, especially those who sign f
