I understand your point on tracking orbits.

But for detection, Is that actually easy? I don't know much about it, would it be done optically, or is there a better way? Are there concealment strategies? How about say painting the satellite black?
Is there source for 'most popular IC', or this is just another urban legend? I don't know many products that would require timing, but don't have some microcontroller. I would rather bet that eg. 7805 regulator is used much more.
Interesting, will check all that out. Thanks!
I mean, it's not like this is an exciting new thing; electric vans have been around for a while. They seem quite popular for urban deliveries; I see a lot of DHL and DPD electric vans around here. Also, Electric Ireland (the state company that owns the electric infra) uses them, though its reasons for doing so may be more advertising related.

Workhorse a company that recently bought a closed factory from GM in Lordstown Ohio and got financing from GM to do so has had a concept for an electric commercial van advertised on their website for some time. They used to have a concept pickup truck as well. Believe they were hoping to get the contract to replace the postal services fleet before that got canceled.

Problem is they are a bit of a joke. The pickup they were marketing has an advertised range of like 80 miles and the commercial vans they still appear to be working towards have an advertised range of 100 miles. I think the strategy of going into a market Tesla isn't in yet is a loser if the reason you are doing it is because you can't compete with Tesla. Business isn't going to be anymore willing to accept a crappy product than a consumer is.

I tried to do this years ago while working at TV station with a helicopter and despite owning (well, leasing) the chopper and owning the microwave equipment the vendor would not release a way to decode the lat/long data used to track the video antenna, which I wanted to pull into a google map to show the choppers position.

So instead I gave the pilot an early smartphone (this was 2006) set up to use cellular to send back lat/long data and pulled it in that way, resulting in this:

> C's strength in this regard is not due to any syntactical strengths, but due to how few layers exist between the code and the hardware.

Any language compiling into native code has this advantage.

You perhaps meant that in C the programmer actually codes closely to how it's going to look like in native code. That could be an advantage; but for that C brings disadvantages, which come from one actually having to code like this - there is no other way.

The question what's more important - language constructs which are closer to actual hardware or language abstractions which prevent certain bugs from appearing - isn't that clear.

Yes, but that's focusing on the very unlikely external circumstances and defeating the point. 99.99% of the daily stuff that seems important actually is not and it's healthier to live a model assuming it's not important rather than worrying that everything could be that devastating brain tumor or IED taking out your bus.

Our solution: To immerse students in an work environment where they communicate with each other, code review each other, build features together, observe users, and update features.

It's meant to be an alternative to aggressive leetcoding and problem/solution memorizing, which is a brute force way to get into engineering without really understanding the details of why they want to get into engineering in the first place.

> development is slow and features take a long time to roll out

As Rich has said, Clojure is small and intends to remain so. Clojure has everything you need right now. It doesn't need gobs of new features to be sufficient. Most Clojurists are hard pressed to come up with things they really need in the language itself, so the rate of change in the core language has slowed. (And the rate of change in the tooling and libraries around Clojure gets more attention now.)

> they are disinterested in promoting the language and ecosystem beyond selling their database software

... is incorrect. We have every desire to promote Clojure as a language (regardless of Datomic). Could more be done, sure that's always the case. Please help promote Clojure by doing great stuff and telling people about it!

So each purple area defines a cloud of shared electrons in a benzene ring?

Yes, the examples listed include more than Facebook, but Facebook, and its "they trust me, dumb fucks" unitary executive (https://www.vox.com/technology/2018/11/19/18099011/mark-zuck...) is very much at the. heart of the problem.

Or, as some may better recognise the notion, "with great power comes great responsibility". Facebook and Zuckerberg consistently shirk theirs, and externalise the concommitant costs.

Anticipating the usual rebuttal that Facebook could not operate if it were required to act responsibly: if an organisation cannot exist or operate at scale without actively harming society, then it shouldn't exist.

The "individual responsibility" argument, going back to 1970s anti-littering campaigns and the crying (fake) Indian (fake) TV advert (and before), are corporate gambits to shirk their own obligations:

Sludgy sediment is usually an indicator of insufficient filtration. But while coarseness does vary across machine, getting that at 21 indicates there's something wrong - you shouldn't get that fine of a grind.

I've been there, so maybe you made the same mistake that I made when I had that problem: When you clean the Barratza and take out the white plastic thingamabob, it goes back in two different ways, smoothly. But if your little orange marker isn't towards the front, on the right hand side, your grind will be much too fine :)

I usually do an initial pour to allow the grounds to outgas - about 70-90 grams, pouring from the middle out, in a spiral.

Then two separate pours of ~220g, slow, outside in - I essentially use the water to agitate the grounds a bit by rapidly pouring the last half in tight circles at the center.

And for the people reading this and think "those coffee peeps are weird" - yes, we are. The taste differences are minute. Can't speak for others, but I mostly do it because I like a ritual, I'm happy with any number of pour styles as long as I get my coffee ;)

The reason I picked this particular ritual is because a) I swear it tastes just a tiny bit better, and b) I learned it in a tiny coffee shop in Colombia that I loved to pieces, and so every time I make coffee I'm reminded of that trip.

I don't see how it is arithmetic nor the job of a public health authority. It's a philosophical, ethical and political issue.

There are bounding conditions, like research showing that job loss increases rates of suicide. [1]

But we still argue about whether it is fair to treat the life of a 12 year old as more valuable than the life of a 92 year old. So it isn't just arithmetic.

From what I can see the real problem is that most people don’t care about facts anymore. They just want to hear what they think anyway and the political parties are too happy to feed that.

When you talk to left wingers and right wingers about the economy of the last ten years the left guys will tell you it was paradise until 2016 and then everything went to hell. The right wingers will tell you it was misery until 2016 and then the boom started. When you look at stock indices, unemployment or other charts you will see a steady rise over ten years. You won’t even see that the president has changed. But pointing that out is futile. Most people don’t want facts.
> It can augment and help people improve their planning horizons which in my book is always a good thing.

Why do I need protection from something that helps me become a better decision maker and planner? Every computational tool has made me a better person. I want that kind of capability as widely spread as possible so everyone can reach their full potential like Magnus Carlson.

More generally, whatever capabilities have made me a better person I want available to others. Computers have helped me learn and AI makes computers more accessible to everyone so AI is a net positive force for good.
I would guess that the smells and activity from the dog would keep a lot of the critters out. Most wild animals avoid dogs and don't want to risk getting trapped in an unknown space with one. Not that it will always work, but I bet the critter traffic is vastly less than if the house was left empty with a dog door.

Somewhat related, many of my neighbors have had issues with rats. I have seen them on the edges of my yard but never seen or heard one inside. I haven't done anything to prevent them except for having two indoor cats. These are fully domesticated chubby cats that probably couldn't catch a wild rat to save their life, but I suspect their presence deters rodents for the most part.

I took a quick listen to the audio, and "Bell 202" immediately came to my mind. It crops up carrying Caller ID on landlines in North America, and railway end-of-train devices use it for sending their telemetry over narrowband FM. It's very well-suited for any situation where you want to send short, low-bandwidth bursts of data over an audio channel.

If you need to encode or decode Bell 202 or similar schemes such as V.23, the SpanDSP library [1] is very handy.

Regarding "C# approach where async behavior looks sync", I don't follow you here. C# is very explict with async's returning Task<> where with Go's lack of "colored" fns, for example, you don't really know when you code is async or not.
