It reminds me of Avid renaming a module they have that was called ISIS Client Manager (now called NEXIS) when the Islamic State thing was a major thing in the news. Maybe it was already planned, but the timing was suspicious.
Not great, but it worked serviceably. Most of the chips going into LEO aren't rad hard. There's various techniques for dealing with problems like single event upsets and latchup. For the cubesat formfactor I think watchdogs timers are the most common and require the least overhead.

I think this[1] is the datasheet for the chip that we used (on a custom PCB), I'm not an RF person but maybe that will answer your questions about dbs.

Communication systems are certainly critical, and it's smart to have redundancy like that team did. However it's kinda like backing up your harddrive— redundancy is pointless if you never test it and it ends up not working. Lots of satellites have radio problems. Lots of satellites also don't have radio problems— there's always going to be a small number of random failures, but most of the problems are not insurmountable, especially if you're able to test extensively and iterate

> Finally, I frankly find your claim about open source apps being bad ridiculous.

Nobody called Open Source bad. What got posted was:

> As soon as it is from the app store the "open source" nature is completely irrelevant, it isn't a security guarantee.

Unclear how you got from "no security guarantee [with compiled open source in the app store]" to "open source is bad." Those two things aren't even similar.

The biggest problem with Open Source in the app store is actually automatic updates. It is conceivable to build the app locally and compare the resulting APK to the app store version. But it isn't very realistic to do that every update (or even just follow the repo changes long term).

Most of the time these types of issues aren't important because apps are well sandbox on Android. But in the case of password and two factor managers special consideration has to be taken because the data within the app's sandbox is highly valued, and extrication is trivial with all apps having the default android.permission.INTERNET privilege.

> And so if what you're craving is absolute precision and maximal avoidance of errors or incorrect behavior

If you are being paid to develop software, doing anything other than aiming for absolute correctness seems negligent, at best.

I think this is part of what leads to obsession with Rust. We build so many things on a daily basis with a long long list of 'it depends'. But Rust aims to make you write something as correctly as possible, and provides a really solid base for you to do this. So that list of 'it depends' shrinks drastically and you feel superhuman for building something so solid.

There's no end of people making video games that are direct attempts to convert D&D to a digital format. Take the new Baldur's Gate for example[0]. All the same spells present, digital dice rolling, etc.

Personally, I say let things fall to the medium that best suits them. If D&D is sufficiently complicated rules wise that it is actually more fun to have software take care of that so you can just focus on the tactical combat and scripted story choices, then the video game is probably your best bet! There are many other TTRPGs where this is not the case, and where any digitization would take away much more than it would add. Such RPGs are elegant enough rules wise that they do not slow down play at the table, and you can spend 99% of your time just relishing each other's madcap plans and imaginative descriptions of things.

Nuclear fracking was tested as part of the larger series of tests called Operation Plowshare. You can read about the first gas extraction test here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Gasbuggy

If I remember correctly, the tests worked, in that they produced a large amount of gas from tight rock formations. However the gas was mildly radioactive and it was thought that it would not be marketable.
> .. good track record for creating prosperity.

Please don't forget to qualify you mean economic prosperity. It's a wholly different matter than happiness, health etc. The correlation is positive (I guess) but far from 100%.

French track record is not bad, but I would still hesitate to call it good. Going by [1], they haven't notably decreased their emissions since 2011, they are worse than Sweden and Switzerland, and if poorer countries follow, it's still the kind of emissions that take us into wild climate territory with mass migrations, unrest and I would hope not war.

Good for some inspiration, better than my country, but far from enough.

What is your argument here?

That HTML is a platform with an extraordinary security track record? Noone has ever exploited all the ambiguities that result from the incoherent mess that is the web?

Or is it that we never had any interoperability problems with HTML? All browsers always reliably rendered websites consistently? "This website is optimized for IE" never happened?

How isn't that just the best example to support my point?

As for TCP ... how is it relevant that Postel wrote the spec? Does that mean that the vulnerabilities in TCP never happened? Or are you saying that modern TCP implementations try to accept any crap whatsoever? (No, they don't, of course they don't, people have actually learned that that's a bad idea.)

The scary thing I saw is that while it's cool that Lambda is $2/month right now, which is negligible, it's $2/month for 900 users. If it scales linearly (and I don't know that it does, because I don't know exactly how the system works), then that means you're one good blog post somewhere about your extension away from being $200-$2000/month.

That said, my gut says there's a good chance that since the author is surprised at the rate of requests, there's almost certainly an optimization opportunity that wouldn't even take much effort.
Please don’t put words in my mouth.
What is important is that Dyson has quotes, but I'm not aware of any published work by him on the problem (by "published", I don't mean peer-reviewed, arXiv etc would be fine too). This means that he probably never really put his hands on the problem as a working scientist.

I'd rather remember Dyson for his significant contributions to physics, rather than for something he did not contribute to.

It's absolutely going to happen. WASM isn't required for this future-- it just helps optimize it.

There is no language that enforce error checking afaik.

For the time being, you can thank the threat of an accessibility lawsuit for slowing this future down. Building a custom renderer might not be as challenging as supporting the myriad accessibility needs of disable users.

I don't know the situation with the church in question, but I've been on the other side of a similar situation...

For the last ~9 years, I've helped run a homeless shelter based out of a church in London, UK. We often get offered donations of clothes and unfortunately we have to turn them down unless we know of guests who need those specific items (e.g. men's 32-34" waist trousers or a pair of size 10 shoes). This is because otherwise we find that very few items get taken and we don't have space to store them, so it just means we have to take them to a charity shop anyway.

Please don't be upset by your offering not being accepted - it can be hard to find the right place to use it and, if the organization is run by volunteers (as the one above is), they might not have the time to manage this.

Incidentally, other shelters operate very differently from ours, and some definitely do accept clothing donations.

Ultra-High Resolution Image Analysis with Mesh-TensorFlow
My guess is the GPIO is similar to the 16 bits of the older G series SoC. I think it's more for led indicators, chassis intrusion, and the like. But the SPI and I2C make that kinda moot with all the GPIO and PWM or interface to a micro/cpld/fpga. In the end it's still more PC than microcontroller.

Side note: I've yet to see anyone using AMD's 10GbE ports nor any driver support in any OS for any existing AMD SoC board. Anyone know what's up with that?

Perhaps the cycle ends only when an AI can explain to us how we are getting it wrong.

US-based devs and English-speaking devs often forget about the rest of the world. Either it's bad or inexistent i18n, overly broad assumptions (e.g name=`${firstName} ${lastName}`) or just straight-up bad default values that can't be changed (like the example).

Checked exceptions were universally rejected not because they are intrinsically bad but because the language support was awful (e.g. could not wrap or abstract over a nested object possibly rethrowing), they were sitting right next to unchecked exception with limited clarity, guidance and coherence as to which was which, and they are so god damn ungodly verbose, both to (re)throw and to convert.

Results are so much more convenient it's not even funny, but even without that you could probably build a language with checked exceptions where they're not infuriatingly bad (Swift has something along those lines, though IIRC it doesn't statically check all the error types potentially bubbling up so you know that you have to catch something, not necessarily what).

I'll usually fudge at least a few dice rolls as a DM depending on how the game or encounter's going as the situation requires. If I roll a bunch of crits in a row for example, i'll maybe just call it one instead a bunch, maybe that wasn't a one hit kill when it should have been, stuff like that. If it's too random it usually stops being fun for everyone. It's a really hard balance though you don't want the players to be frustrated, but you don't want them to feel like their cheesing through the game.

For dungeons at least i try to go for that nethack or metroidvania vibe of slowly going deeper while your supplies and health dwindle, so each encounter needs to be considered more as they get deeper.

Above world adventures I try and let them be more free in their decisions but keep the consequences a bit higher for things.

I've yet to play any computer or console rpgs that really come close to the feeling of playing a good d&d game, even the ones that heavily use the rules. Nwn online came close, but those typically had human DMS the single player game was fun, but even on coop, still wasn't really like playing dnd without a DM player.
Agree. We consider non-cached requests costly if they extend beyond around $1.50 / million. That said, we do about 2-3% of requests non-cached. As a content network, that means that a million web requests can be as low as $.30 to .40. This does have a lot of benefit to scale, but ~$10 / million seems high. What stops you from putting a ttl on these and caching them for a couple mins. Probably would lower that number substantially.
