The autogen pressurization system for the liquid oxygen tank pollutes the tank with carbon dioxide and water ice. The same thing happens on the booster, but they have systems to manage the issue in place. Presumably they don't want to

I remember quite clearly when it was scrapped, because suddenly it was much easier to find a parking spot.

I'm not your dad or anything, but if you don't have the cash to purchase a 6 figure vehicle, you should not be financing a 6 figure loan with auto loan rates.

I realize many take your comment as naive, but it may be that such a process won't be possible with non-biological solutions (ECMO, dialysis, etc) but will need to wait for fully bio-engineered solutions.

When people think of radiation protection, they think of the magnetosphere. But they really need to be thinking of the atmosphere. There's a reason traveling on a plane gets you a higher dose of radiation and it's not a weaker mag

If you want something really pure, or want things other than the core constituents, sure. Otherwise you can just smelt it. https://hothardware.com/news/blue-origin-details-lunar-plan-... It's incredibly energy int

Because ores on earth get concentrated the amount of iron in typical soil is very low. But on the moon, it ranges about 2 to 10% of total weight.

The moon is much more homogeneous. A kilo of regolith is a kilo of regolith. You don't need to find ore.

The reason it likely goes into bootloader when the lock bit isn't set is that it's likely using this as a "flashed successful" signifier.

I'm not sure what you mean by "night frights". Are you talking about "night terrors"? As someone who experienced EHS a lot when I was younger and who's seen someone with night terrors, they are very, very diffe

I'm arguing that the proper thing to do here is to kill the process along with whatever else is using the block device. Whether you handle the error or immediately or if you allow the error to occur after a defer, you still are almost

by russdill 2y ago
Handling it this way in a user process is insane and essentially cargo culting. If your data is that valuable, you have redundant systems.

On production systems, it may often be better to completely ignore the problem at this level. On modern hardware if a disk is throwing an io error on write you are having a bad day. I can almost guarantee that while you might happily modify

I work from home. I can look out on my residential neighborhood street at any time of day and see a lot of parked cars.

I've commonly seen a kick the can down the road type of solution to issues like these, especially in vehicle systems where a monotonic clock is always used but a entry is included that gives a mapping between wall clock and monotonic i

All such delays should be done uses monotonic clocks. This simplistic solution runs still into problems when you have long delays, especially if the system suspends and/or power cycles. Or if you want the interval to always expire at s

I sense the author has a myriad of false assumptions about timezones left to be discovered in their codebase.

The problem isn't attraction, the problem is they lack meaningful repulsion. They would just collide.

No, at some point gravity becomes important and you can make enormous atomic nuclei. Neutron stars are about 5% protons. I don't think people would think these would count though as it's not like you can have chemistry between neu

Even with encrypted append only storage, any actor just needs to be more patient. Wait a week, 2 weeks, a month, whatever.

I really love it when this has clearly happened in US children's books. Things like, "ate nearly 551 pounds of food per day!" or similar.

Just to be a little fair here, healthcare providers are a major target of ransomware. How many ransomware attacks has crowd strike thwarted?

I'll agree that this appears to have been preventable. Whatever goes through CI should have a hash, deployment should validate that hash, and the deployment system itself should be rigorously tested to insure it breaks properly if the

You can have all the CI, staging, test, etc. If some bug after that process nulls the file, the rest doesn't matter

Right, its a Huawei standard, not an SD association standard so for the purposes of marketing and sales and pedantic people, not a "SD card".
