I sometimes think that situations like this are eventually going to lead to legally-required professional licensing for certain tasks in software development. Obviously, not everyone who writes code needs a development license (what, I&#x27

Just want to follow up on this thread to say that Framework (directly via nrp) did follow up with my org and me, and was able to get the aforementioned paperwork back to us. It's encouraging to see that they've taken this kind of

Not sure if you've already seen this, but back in November, Rocket 0.5 (stable) was released, and a 501(c)3 dedicated to Rocket was formed that now owns the Github org, etc. As a result, it's been getting much more regular updates

It turns out the John Mayer of all people wrote a (imho) really beautiful song about a man building a homemade submarine in his basement, called "Walt Grace's Submarine Test, January 1967". If you feel like taking a listen, i

The "space is cold" thing is actually a pretty good shibboleth for people who don't know that much about engineering things in space. Most space systems have to put in effort to reject excess heat than to hold onto basic amou

Isn't this sort of what the lawsuit is for, though? Even if it's cheaper to make the initial defective product and say you're sorry after, if the sorry is both guaranteed (prosecuting even the long tail) and large enough, the

Is there a reason you're not interested in those NVIDIA Jetson modules? Even excluding the GPU compute, I had thought the Orin boards were significantly faster than a Pi 4.

It might be worth doing some reading on the actual events of that day. For example, "being shot down by a fighter jet" wasn't an option; the fighters weren't armed when they were put up in the sky. The pilots in them wen

I don't think it would be too much to say something like a low-end VPS on AWS or Digital Ocean for a personal blog is too much, which would end up running somewhere between $5-10/mo depending on resources/automated backups. A

Just a quick, non-hostile technical nitpick: I don't believe that at any point, energy will actually be flowing back into the drink. If the drink is cooler, the insulator layer will become a significantly worse conductor, preventing he

You could probably make this case for Star Trek: The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Enterprise as well. TNG and Voyager probably fall closer into the "highly-episodic" category, while DS9 and Enterprise tend to be structure
