Have they realized their cost savings yet? Or are the teardowns and smaller redesigns still keeping the launch price up? Basically, are we in the future yet?

I wish it was. It's replacement is really awful.

Well it was a continuation that would have happened with or without the Germans, but they had made significant gains that we're a natural fit for the aspirations of the two blossoming superpowers at the time. The difficulty in getting

The Germans had copied Goddard's, an American's, liquid rocket design and expanded upon it. These are Von Braun's words when speaking about Goddard: "His rockets ... may have been rather crude by present-day standards, b

There's nothing objectively wrong with a large company unless they begin to squash competition with regulatory lock-in. This is what led to the breakup of AT&T/Bell. As far as I can tell, Google doesn't keep others out of

Forgive me for the naive question, but I thought we had proper models for gravity since General Relativity.

You are correct in that this does not use propellant, however the Earth would need to be nearby for this to be viable for any sort of space travel. Perhaps maybe keeping a satellite in orbit or doing orbital maneuvers, but even then the amo

After further review I believe they found that for the EmDrive, the thrust was being generated by interaction of the electricity through the cables with Earth's magnetic field. Someone tested it by dampening the actual microwaves and s

I tried out Qt Creator and I have to say I'm impressed. Once set up I can say that the tagging/autocomplete worked quite nicely. Very snappy.

Very unlikely. They probably account for things like absorption when calculating redshift and the corresponding numbers that they're getting from their measurements. For instance, each star/galaxy has a spectral composition that c

You're not wrong. This is a Rust post after all. I'm of the opinion that C++ by itself is both unfinished and bloated at the same time. Most memory access should be funneled through libraries better equipped to handle memory than

Certainly willing to give it a try. I can say that I can't imagine any tagging system to be any better than CDT, so at best it may be comparable. Though if the system is comparable with an interface that's faster than Eclipse, it

Generally Java has a large footprint on the machine and startup time can be slower (however they're attempting to solve through the Graal VM). Also Java's syntax is extremely verbose and the API usage is verbose as well. All commo

Well, you may as well have changed the laws of physics. Care to share how you managed this?

Do you mean West facing? If you had a large East facing exposure then it would give you that pulse of blue light in the morning. I've got a big East facing exposure and don't have any issue with blue light screens. Watch TV every

Ah I'm following now. Transfer of stack references in cases where it's unnecessary to share objects. Actually interesting that it raises the bar for the need to allocate on the stack.

I'm still having trouble seeing how move semantics and copy elision help me get rid of smart pointers. I read up on it after reading these comments and just still am not following. I see how move semantics avoid a copy, but if I'm

The takeaway from this is that management defines reality. Opinions and objectivity goes out the door if management doesn't like the decision. This is why a clear chain of command is vital. Humans need it to function in groups if the g

I'd like to think so, though wouldn't dynamic typing insist branching would still be possible so there's still likely some runtime checking before being sure a precompiled bit is valid. All fascinating stuff.

I'm no hacker. But if I were I'd first hack North Korean servers, then use those servers to do all my outward hacking. This would ensure no cooperation of authorities and no traceback. North Korea is essentially a black hole for h

There is more time in the summer because of the angle of the Earth to the Sun. Can see the effects even more when at high angles like closer to the North Pole. And to boot, Daylight savings makes it even more pronounced. Hoping other states
