Depressed trajectory submarine launched ballistic missiles can drop that below ten minutes… depending on what they are aiming at and where they fire from .. it’s a technique that uses the unused propulsion power to hit closer targets faster

If you chain your pet rock up outside you can at least use it to tell the weather. ( for anyone who doesn’t get this look up the Weather Rock )

The euphemism treadmill strikes again. It’s a linguistic process that has been academically studied and is surprisingly straightforward once you have it laid out in front of you it’s basically “once we acknowledge word as bad, people use

In my albeit limited experience so far… ChatGPT4 is surprisingly good at “doing the MBA bullshit” as I call it. Vague thoughts go in from me the user, coherent business jargon comes out and I can even ask for an explanation if it tosses me

But don’t forget that the majority of low lunar orbits are not stable due to the sub surface mass concentrations which make the moon’s gravity “lumpy enough” that it pulls you off course unless you either use one of the few stable orbits or

Yes… but often it tells you how little time they have spent actually engaged with the real truth of the place or places they are about to compare the problems of wherever they live, instead of the idealistic view of someone who was visiting

Because erlang is “weird” and not enough programmers learn it for it to have breached the cultural ramparts regarding what concurrency is in a programming language. I learned Erlang and Elixir and I’ve never been happy with any other langua

When did go get abstractions? (Only half joking) Isn’t the entire language designed explicitly to prevent programmers from building their own sophisticated abstractions that could confuse other programmers who don’t understand that other pe

Well that’s a bit surprising. I’d never heard of Kick … and several actually explicit adult sites are in the service.json file… This feels like it might be a bit of an overreaction… but I dunno. I’m not about to expose myself to any site li

The Sourceforge UI and overall experience is still a decade or more behind the experience on GitHub and most of the other modern and maintained equivalent sites/services like Fossil, GitLab, Gitea, etc That ancient feeling UI doesn’t w

Other than the bullshit computerised systems behind the scenes that are the bane of creators on the platform… it’s hard to think of a more reliable website than YouTube… I’ve heard Google employees/engineers make jokes (not entirely su

See this was my first thought but then it occurred to me that they’re trying to bypass people who are meant to be inspecting your stuff, does part of the job become “sneak past with this bit of paper” or do they carry nothing official on th

Internal DHS red team sounds like one hell of a job if they include physical security checks (aka “Airport Security”) in the list of things the red team is allowed to attempt to bypass/exploit … like this could be a boring government d

Oh that’s right… i completely forgot I read about that… I suppose it’s not surprising that I forgot they changed CEO what with the fact that… once the train rolling down hill without breaks is on fire… who exactly is driving the train stops

This is literally the only value add in my mind. When you know it’s not just one simple app. When you know you’ve going to have frontends and backends and server to server tokens and third party and SSO and all the other TLA soup… then it s

Unity will either fire him or destroy themselves as a company… he’s not exactly a sharp and savvy businessman with the nuance to master the intricacies of where profits lie in a particular niche of a particular industry … he’s the replaceab

The tilted tablet PCs this company have are actually more interesting to me, but it’s a pretty anaemic amount of power, I’d take their 10” touchscreen tilted tabletop sorta thing in a heartbeat if it was using the new chipset that lets this

Some people may think you’re tossing out a sarcastic joke here… but unambiguously fuck yes … because doing this kind of preemptive typing, the forward thinking to “frame of reference” is basically the next step after overhauling everythin

Ok so I did some reading and I like what I see, its important however to properly disambiguate between the two kinds of time units. Chronological Time units and Calendrical Time units... These are fundamentally different concepts that o

Hahahahaha The EU official in question clearly has no clue. Elon wants the unique Twitter style of chaos… I’d argue he’s addicted to it if some of the anecdotes I’ve heard are true. Censorship only ruins that specific chaos… You would have

I’m not trying to ascribe merit or judge either Finnegan’s Wake or Gravity’s Rainbow… I’m trying to highlight the fact that the line between good art and bad art is subjective, blurry, and sometimes pointless. The fact an artist can be a bi

by techdragon 3y ago
Why do people like Gravity’s Rainbow… Sometimes art is hard to understand and sometimes it’s good art because it’s deliberately hard to understand to make you think… And other times it’s just incomprehensible garbage that someone managed to

/sarcasm… right? This “one person disagrees therefore it’s not settled”… this needs to die. We collectively need to raise the bar of human discourse above this tiny hurdle and put an end to anyone who isn’t drunk accepting the argument

Preventative safety work? I can imagine there’s going to be less demand from offices and industry if a significant portion of the nearby population are making emergency plans and preparations, and even without a dip in demand from that ther

Exactly. Another one of the weirdest things in the “healthcare debate” is the idea that it’s public or nothing like a closed border dictatorship that will shoot you before they let you exercise any freedom of choice. If I don’t want to pa

There’s two fundamental issues with that sort of approach: 1st, is the deltaV difference between useful and desirable orbits that satellite operators want to be in and the selected “disposal orbit band”… with GEO it’s just a small deltaV Ho

There sort of are some ejection disposals, but they are rarely used due to how specific the orbital parameters need to be in order for that to be the “cheaper” option. You usually find it’s not exactly the sort of disposals your expecting t
