If rougher == more acceleration, it could be just due to the rocket (stage 2 & Crew Dragon) being lighter at the end of the burn due to all the fuel expended, resulting in rising acceleration at the end.

Shuttle possibly being much to heavy for that & the final orbit insertion burns being done by the OMS, which was quite low acceleration given the mass of the shuttle.
Whenever running or exercise comes up in conversation, someone will invariably ask what music I listen to. They're often shocked when I reply that I don't carry anything on me other than a dumb stopwatch and my keys. Running is the only respite I have from being wired in, a sort of pre-shower shower time for me to face myself and my ideas. I've been trying to make it a habit to immediately jot down any ideas right after.
Geography may also be a problem. Running a gigawatt cable from sun-soaked Australia anywhere in SEA is enormously expensive. Instead, packaging the energy into carbohydrates produced from waste water (cleaning it in the process) and waste CO₂ may be much more economical and convenient. You can likely produce the best quality Jet A fuel or octane 98 gasoline with little other fractions by tuning the synthesis process (unlike an oil well which gives you a mix you can't control).

Beside that, a transatlantic jet, let alone a Falcon 9, won't ever fly with battery power. You still need highly energetic fuels where power density is at a huge premium.
They are rejecting them from the low-latency category, which includes most of the funds, until LEO providers prove they are in fact low latency. If they manage to prove their network's merits then they will be eligible for future auctions. Seems fair to me.

> If SpaceX and similar companies are rejected from the low-latency category, they will be at a disadvantage in a reverse auction that will distribute $16 billion—$1.6 billion yearly, over ten years—from the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund (RDOF). The auction, scheduled to begin on October 29, will give ISPs funding to deploy broadband in census blocks where no provider offers home-Internet speeds of at least 25Mbps downstream and 3Mbps upstream.

>The FCC will prioritize low-latency networks when awarding funding, so SpaceX and other LEO providers could come up short against terrestrial networks. Even DSL providers would have an advantage over LEO networks in funding battles if the satellite companies are placed in the FCC's high-latency category.
c-smile specifically said 'RAM to VRAM'. Agnus/Alice didnt have DMA access to _non video_ ram so Amiga is automatically out.

Well trodden ground? Except there wasn't desktop software that could do this beforehand.

If you can't see the innovation, let me spell it out for you in very few words: the software has an intuitive-enough UI that you need no prior knowledge of the program to use it, and you can share musical ideas in one or two clicks. Please tell us exactly which desktop program allowed you to do this, as easily, pre-2012? Yes, this is novel, since it enables something that wasn't possible before.
Yeh you'd think that but if the interviewer doesn't like you doesn't even matter. When I graduated a few years ago I made a spreadsheet to see why. The strongest predictor wasn't how well I think I did out of 10, or hours of prep I did before hand. There were certain people regardless of what I need gave me 100% rejection. I'm not saying it was prejudice, but it was a very clear pattern.
Piranha co-author here. I'd say you trust it a bit more than we do, then ;) As the paper and blog post mention, we use Piranha to create diffs/PRs against the original author of the code. Developers are expected to code-review the changes before they are ever landed. As used within Uber, Piranha won't ever auto-land code deletions.

That still saves the time of: a) remembering that the flag is stale and must be removed, b) actually removing the code and putting the diff up. Piranha diffs for a single flag are also generally small enough to fully read them during code review.

We do have comprehensive unit tests for both the Piranha tool and the target codebase(s), and the majority (65%) of diffs generated by Piranha are landed without changes (and the most common change in those that are changed is to delete extra lines that Piranha couldn't prove as stale). Thus far we haven't had an outage caused by a Piranha deletion, but certainly there have been incorrect diffs generated and caught either by CI or manual reviewers, requiring us to update the tool. We would not recommend landing diffs generated by Piranha - or other stale code removal tools - to master without any reviews right now :)

Some of them do - you need to ask around. Every one of them has been lovely to me, but some are more capable of administrative and PA work than others - consider that most of them usually do work like being an orderly or care-assistant in a care home, for example).

But give it a go! You can mention in your job posting that you’re wanting to give it a try for a week at first and take it from there, for example.

No special paperwork is needed as far as I know - as it’s not the same as having a domestic-employee like a live-in nanny or au-pair.

This is the first I've heard someone speculate about that. I didn't think they were doing 20G with a single antenna, but that they were adding all spectrum together that it's capable of processing (even if it doesn't get access to it all). On-board processing would also require a significant amount of power, and it's riskier.

Diagnosed with ADHD 10+ years ago in my 20s. Can be very impulsive in behavior and hyperactive when it's bad. Since about 28 or 29, I flipped from being a night owl to being a morning person. I usually wake up between 5 and 6, depending on when I went to bed the night before. Haven't used an alarm in about 8 or 9 years. I just wake up when I'm done sleeping.

I started lifting weights 2-3 times a week and I changed my diet from being carb-based to being protein based. In my 20s, I'd eat a bowl or two of spaghetti, or a pizza for a meal. Now, a meal is generally a protein source, a carb source, and a lot of vegetables (e.g. chicken and rice and a lot of kale, or steak and potatoes and a lot of broccoli). I think the most significant change was the diet, because in periods when I was injured or couldn't lift weights, I still sleep well.

I also started getting a bit more on a schedule. Eating breakfast between 7:30 and 8:30, lunch between 12:00 and 1:30, and dinner around 7:30, etc. has really helped my focus and attention and poise. It feels like the volume is turned down on the ADHD and it's much easier to remain calm and in control throughout the day.

Edit: I think I also have a mindset about this. I refuse to give myself permission to use ADHD as an excuse for not being the person I want to be. I think the thing I'm most scared of is looking back on my life with regret at the things I failed to do because I used some diagnosis as an excuse to not put in the work necessary to be the person I wanted to.

Also rocket engines are (IIRC) generally less efficient at lower than full thrust, so you want to keep firing them at max as long as possible.

On the other hand you also don't want to turn your crew into pancakes or even make your upper stage look like a squashed can. You have a couple options:

- throttle the engine

- design payload weight, propellant load and trajectory to make g loads bearable till burnout

And one more thing related to stage 2 burnout - precise orbit insertion. Rocket engines used to be pretty imprecise at shutdown, delivering a slightly lower/higher impulse at shutdown at random. Due to this many older rockets have also some small & precise engines to correct the orbit insertion once the main one shuts down - many Chinese rockets have that. As far as I know, the Falcon 9 upper stage engine (Merlin 1D Vacuum) is precise enough so this is not needed.

I have but only once, I don't remember where, it was probably an obscure site that didn't have whatever I was looking for. The pop-up was a big list of third party companies with checkboxes (Android style, slide left to uncheck) that had to be disabled individually. I don't think that was legal, consent was given by default unless I manually unchecked each box. There was of course no "uncheck all" button.

How are runtime dependencies handled? If the artefacts are self contained then I can see why this would work but how does it work when the artefacts are not self-contained and have shared objects that they link to? How are these dependencies added to the "distroless" container filesystem to avoid runtime crashes because of missing dependencies?

Here's a concrete example, when compiling ruby from source we need several libraries: `autoconf bison build-essential libssl-dev libyaml-dev libreadline6-dev zlib1g-dev libncurses5-dev libffi-dev libgdbm6 libgdbm-dev libdb-dev`. How would I add `zlib` to the distroless image?

> Why are there so few white people in pro basketball?

Because Whites don't face systematic discrimination in (or in the pipeline leading to) the whole host of fields where Blacks do, so taking a shot that is about as reliable as investing all your income in lottery tickets if you have the signs that you might be able to make it to shoot for a pro basketball career isn't as likely to make any kind of sense for Whites.

I have been taking my temperature every day, maybe a few times a day for over a month. I was just curious to see how helpful this is related to COVID-19. Anyway, what I did see, for what it is worth, was my temperature change by a lot over the course of a day, by over a degree. And I can guess what my temperature will be based on how energetic I feel. I am not a morning person and the temperature is higher later in the day, peaking from around 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM. It returns to around the wakeup temperature at maybe 11:00 PM or midnight. I am guess the temperature profile for a morning person would look different.

Can someone explain the advantage of increasing the native resolution vs upscaling after rendering?

For something like a photograph, you want as high a 'native resolution' as possible, so that there is as much information as possible in the original image. But for old video games, the assets and textures are still the same. Is this a bit like taking a high megapixel photo of a low quality print? Or is my understanding wrong?

I'm sure things like AA work better in the native renderer. Are there other advantages?

Fuck that's so cool. Imagine being strapped to that thing. Love hearing the astronauts candid experience.
Incredible that this is the only comment I see that correctly states the reason why black is associated with negativity. Darkness is danger and death because the primates we evolved from faced much greater danger in the dark from predators. We evolved to fear things that are black because we receive less information about things that are dark, and similarly are less afraid of things that are white because we have more information about things that are light. Things that we have less information about have a greater potential risk of danger, just as everyone fears a dark alley more than a lit one.

Remember, black is not a color; it is a shade or absence of color just as white is a maximal amount of color. As you say, these associations developed perhaps tens of millions of years ago far before European people even evolved to be white. Any other associations developed in the relatively infinitesimal time of hundreds of years are peripheral.

There are some projects that swap out textures for higher res versions.

> I'm not sure why the ability to sell $100 books for $0 (or even $10 books for $0) is a qualitative change and not merely a quantitative one.

The difference is the sheer scale of it.

Printing presses are expensive, purpose built hardware. People who had access to one were part of the industry. Enforcing copyright is much easier when infringement is centralized like this. So copyright infringement at scale wasn't that common. Also, since the books were physical copies there are natural limits to how many can be made and their widespread distribution is a hard logistical problem.

Compare that to the 21st century. Almost everyone has a computer which can create a virtually unbounded number of copies of any file. These computers are also connected to a global network which makes it trivial to distribute these copies to anyone who wants them. In the 21st century, anyone can easily infringe copyright at massive scales and it's impossible to enforce copyright in any meaningful way because infringement is decentralized among the general world population.
