At that rate Russia will have conquered Ukraine in about a century. The war is clearly going to be decided by attrition, not the current rate of land capture.

I think it's mainly a limitation of the beam steering: terminals that are close together need to be seperated in bandwidth so that they don't intefere with each other, and there's only so much bandwidth available. Tighter bea

And density is limited. Starlink cannot more than a tiny fraction of a city.

Helium is actually pretty hard to keep ahold of, being a very light and small noble gas. It can diffuse through a surprising amount of materials, flow through far smaller cracks than you would expect, and is quite hard to filter out of a mi

I think it's a problem where the only solutions are worse, on the whole, than the disease. Probably the best option would be the ability to lock down your own device somehow (i.e. put the toggle in the opposite direction by default). T

I wouldn't be surprised if the people at google implementing this genuinely believe this to be the case. It was the same thing with AMP, the people doing it really seemed to believe it was entirely a good thing and there were no negati

Didn't work so well in my experience: it's about as expensive as petrol (on top of the car being more expensive) and it takes longer than a grocery shop for a charge. You really don't get much benefit unless you can charge at

This has been a big security/UX issue with github for a while. It extends to the web interface: you can link to a specific commit under an official github repo but the contents of the README on the page will be from a malicious fork, w

Most science is not automated like this in practice. You only see robotic pipetting and fluid handling when you're looking at something more like production or development or you have a truly ridiculous amount of variations to try that

It's not just adjustment, there's a decent amount of evidence it's just bad for your health in general, apart from the issues when coming back to earth. Stuff like your circulation also gets messed up.

No, but that makes it no longer a string as far as most C functions are concerned.

Well yeah, and you could always do the same thing in C++, but having a standard structure for it makes interoperability a lot easier.

Probably he didn't use these techniques explicity: the video mentions but doesn't emphasise that he probably sketched out the map by feel instead of analytically, which is probably one reason why he didn't fill in the center.

The image is essentially a self-similar 'droste-effect' image in disguise. The warping of that image shifts that self- similarity into a visual loop, but the warped image still has a droste-style self-similarity in the center as w

I think the gap also has a compositional purpose: the viewer's eye is meant to travel around the image in a circle, and the gap helps anchor that in a way that the filled-in version might not.

If you're not putting a representative amount of data through the test, you have no idea if the resource usage you're seeing scales with the amount of data or is just a fixed overhead if the runtime.

Which isn't very good for substrings due to the null-termination requirement.

You could write this on a postcard and read it as if it's the card itself saying it and it would more or less work the same way. People are desperate make subjective experience the bright line for humans but you can't actually pro

I think the issue is if you are dynamically updating the rules then you might have an intermediate state where some packages are processed according to some set of rules which is neither the set of rules at the start nor at the end. Wheras

I tend to mark them as spam (and hope that it causes them problems send email) if I didn't explicitly sign up for them. I'm not going to be polite about it if they aren't.

It's pretty much impossible to do this in a useful way, _and_ it would also cement even more control over the media landscape to those companies.

Because you're paying for that inefficiency, generally.

This is part of the logic behind strategic bombing, and there's a lot of writing on how it doesn't win wars and can sometimes be counterproductive: firstly it's harder to hit and damage infrastructure than you might think (es

It is a bit of a continuation of the somewhat annoying trend of integrating features into apps that should be part of the window manager (tabs, in the first place, for example). This one is extra awkward because even windows (which has spen

It's easier because you don't need a precise cycle count, just a worst-case threshold.

Factorio is the example I was thinking of when I was saying 'memory bandwidth bottlenecked'. It's one of the reasons it benefits from huge caches so much.

This is one of those 'you can just look at it' sorts of datasets, it's really not plausible that the uncertainty in the measurement is affecting anything.
