It's exciting to hear about all these companies trying to bring more to the table but while they (Rocket Lab, Blue Origin, Virgin Galactic) talk about what their plans are, SpaceX continues to push forward with real world results. It's the dollar short and the day late scenario.

Maybe at some point these B and C companies (Rocket Lab, Blue Origin, Virgin Galactic) can take over the low tier/mundane stuff, while SpaceX is taking us to the Moon/Mars or beyond on a daily/weekly/monthly schedule.
Depends on the plane.

Inclination changes are expensive, so if you want different inclinations, it almost always makes sense to use a separate launch vehicle for each inclination you want to target.

However, the longitude of the ascending node (Ω) is perturbed by the earth's oblateness, and the rate of Ω precession is a function of the semi-latus rectum (p) and the inclination (i). If you adjust the orbit altitude to tweak p, you can adjust the precession rate to swing the plane around to where you want it.

This takes a while (months), and you of course need some sort of propulsion on the spacecraft to return you to your target altitude after the maneuver, but if the launch vehicle can drop you into the higher/lower altitude above/below the target plane rather than doing that on-board the spacecraft, the delta-v cost is halved.
His previous sales were much lower, per-piece:

"Mike Winkelmann never used to call himself an artist. But that was before he made $3.5 million in a single weekend from selling his artworks. In December, he auctioned off multiple editions of three digital artworks, each priced at $969, and 21 unique works, most of which sold for about $100,000 each. It was only the second time he had put his art on sale."

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/24/arts/design/christies-bee...

So from $100k/piece up to $6.6M.
That's a really demonstrative example. I love trying to see the present from the viewpoint of the past. I feel like it sharpens the quality of my subjective judgement more than anything else.

I was quite obsessed with Keynes' famous 15 hr workweek prediction as a student.

Why? Perl.com doesn't have anything to do with the Perl Foundation. It's a collection of blog articles from various Perl developers.

The website for Perl is perl.org and was not affected at all by the perl.com hijack.
Perseverance Seen from Space by ESA’s ExoMars Orbiter
The arrogance of software engineers to believe that a few joules saved would make a difference. Humanity can spread to the stars and we still won't make a significant dent in the overall entropy changes in the universe even after billions of years. Energy consumption is a false herring for moral superiority and control. Replace the traditional Church with environmental activists and you have your modern climate change politics. Climate change is primarily due to increased heat capture caused by emissions. We have plenty of ways to generate clean energy without harmful emissions, nor excuses for social control.
Is this a f* joke?
This made me realize my usage of sudo has gone down quite a bit. It seems like things mostly get permissions right these days, brew and ports were the main culprits back in the day.
For the same reason our understanding of human psychology changes every few decades. Our scientific observation and understanding evolves.

Just as you wouldn't commit electroshock therapy anymore for people with mental disorders, you wouldn't use shock collars today.

Or the same way we don't recommend corporal punishment for children, it's not recommended to manhandle dogs either.

Dogs respond very strongly to both negative and positive reinforcement. Negative reinforcement unfortunately has the effect of making the dog associate stress or physical abuse with conditioned events. Much in the way that a child will stop doing things out of fear, but it builds up mental scarring.

Particularly many people try and condition dogs to not bark or growl by negative reinforcement. This causes the dog to be fearful of expressing itself and go more directly to biting when stressed.

Anyway Tl;Dr science doesn't sit still.

Fish is my shell of choice, like many in this thread.
To me it just works, without configuring anything (ok, maybe a couple of aliases), with great defaults.

As an example, type anything(for instance, '.conf') + up arrow, and there you see all the completions (for instance, 'less /etc/postgresql/10/main/pg_hba.conf' shows for me) based on the shell history. You can then cycle through them with up/down arrows.
It is the same as ctrl+R in bash, but so discoverable and plain. I found tons of similar details in fish.

I've spanned the economic ladder from making $25k, to having enough money that I could retire before age 35. It wasn't that bad making $25k. I actually moved into my friend's large closet for 3 months. Life was more like the show Friends back then. I definitely made more stories and friends in that time period too. Now on the other side of the spectrum, life is more stressful and kinda boring. Maybe that is part of the pandemic's fault. My money is tied up in assets that I worry about at night. Part of me just wants to liquidate a lot of things and move into a nice van and tour the country.

Yes, a lot of people live in denial. In security-related areas of all kinds where the ROI is largely unobservable loss prevention, that's why leadership-level people know to ask for budget immediately after any incident... because important stuff doesn't get funded or enforced otherwise.

And agreed, I'm not a superfan of Amtrak. There's a wide spectrum on how to do things. The more I learn about any individual one, the more I learn that most things appear broken from the inside, so I am both consistently awed things work in the daily case, and know that left alone, they won't in the edge cases.

You have, in California, a thing called Smog Check. An attempt to remove old, polluting cars - you can’t register your car without it. Lots of these check centers will let you pay under the table to let them hook up a better car to falsify your results. If a car is obviously not road safe, a cop can pull you over.
Designing the second stage first is ballsy, it means that you're dependent on someone else's first stage for launch.

But it's also brilliant. With Starship and Neutron coming on the market in the next few years, and their reusability enabling dramatic cost reductions, any launch provider in the future is going to be either fully reusable, massively government subsidized, or dead.

There are other rocket companies pursuing first stage reusability, most notably Blue Origin. To remain viable they'll either have to build a reusable second stage, partner with somebody who does, or acquire them.

Edit: I may have misread the Neutron announcement, and they haven't announced full reusability, yet. I still believe they will eventually do so, but...

I very much enjoyed reading your post. You made a statement that, taken literally, I disagree with and wonder if you care to elaborate more on it.

I made it and you can too.

It seems to me that luck plays a huge role in each success story like yours. My wife had a similar trajectory and makes quite a bit of money. However, along the way, there were hundreds of decisions made that could have gone the wrong way. She's smart and ambitious and quite lucky.

As far as I know SpaceX don't offer substantially low prices for launching reused rockets yet. Why should they - there's no competitor forcing them to do it.

While the extra money is certainly well invested in SpaceX, there's still the potential to lower prices through competition, if nothing else. The different approaches are also great to see. So far the pie looks big enough for everyone.

Pure nonsense: Debunking the latest attack on renewable energy
Food has two types of cost, market value and ecosystem cost. It always has been this case. It's the very reason that crop rotation was discovered. By improving the ecosystem that you farm in (in this case soil but Tree windbreaks also count etc...) you increase the productivity. The issue is that most ways to improve productivity are terribly short term. Think slash/burn.

So yes food is cheaper than ever to buy but we are burning through environmental capital at dangerous and irresponsible rate IMO. The cost of food will stay cheap until it's too late and the land stops producing at the current level.

I would call that on-orbit maneuvers rather than part of the launch process. This rocket will drop the sat off at the contracted orbit and fly away. Multiple engine firings will mean separate customers can get at best separate altitudes.
I think I finally get it. You know how with some modern art the main value of some artworks is just the fact that people get very mad about it because something they don't like/get is being displayed in a museum and treated as art? It's the same with NFTs. Yeah, sure, if you dig deep down to the essentials it doesn't really make sense, but there's still nothing you can do to stop others from trading these for large sums of money. Teehee! If you are mad or confused, you've lost the game.

Fellow former-poor here. It's the kind of thing that casts a shadow over your whole life.

And in this industry, nobody is comfortable talking about it. Most of the people I work with graduated from school as guaranteed millionaires. I hear things get said by people that are so far from the orbit of my reality and I cringe.

Reading the article was really eye opening for me because I hadn't thought of all of the life skills that I've picked up simply as a result of being poor. It even affects how I think about my new-found wealth. I spend an enormous amount of money on tools and equipment. I'm the one helping all of my friends build, move or fix things.

France aims to reduce nuclear's share of its electricity output from 75% to 50% by 2035. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-france-edf-idUSKBN1ZK0RL We will see what happens, but given the record-low electricity prices and the Flamanville fiasco, France's nuclear phaseout may go even quicker.
> It's interesting that even analytics solutions which list respecting user privacy as their main USP (i.e. simpleanalytics.com, plausible.io) support this kind of concealement scheme. I find it at least questionable since a user that employs a specific extension to block tracking requests has clearly expressed an intent to not be tracked

That's because you're confusing tracking, which is e.g. Google tracking your behaviour across different websites to decide what you like and what adds you might click, and website analytics, which is making statistics on what type of people ( location, language, browser, mobile/PC, from where) visit your website. Privacy concious analytics doesn't track it, it only aggregates who you are so that the website owner can make decisions ( the mobile version is useless because all users come from PCs, optimising for Safari isn't needed since no users use Apple devices, etc.). It's unfortunate for your average site owner that you lose that data from people not wanting to be tracked, because that's really not the same thing, they're just a drive-by casualty.

There have been doomsday Climate predictions as long you can go back. Historically, look at the flood stories and you can see climate worry in biblical times. More recently Miami Beach is always going to be underwater 5 years from the prediction date. It's a serious problem, but there has always been a cult like following to climate change. Personally, I think it's best to ignore the hysterical predictions and focus on your own impact and responsibilities
I once looked at a flat/apartment in a converted house here in the UK where the oven door got stuck on the wall opposite when you tried to open it.
I don’t think it’s really an attack on the domain Perl.com. Rather, Perl was just one of the domains stolen at the same time as others.

I’m aware of at least half a dozen or so domains that were stolen at the same time, by the same domain thief.

This was not an attack or hijacking. It was the stealing of domain names.

What these domain thieves do is steal the domain, transfer it to another registrar, then attempt to sell them.

In this case, Perl.com just got caught up in a list of domains that were stolen at the same time. Others stolen at the same time also start with the letter P.

I think Fish is an excellent interactive shell. I've still got Bash as my default shell for non-interactive sessions, but I configured Konsole to start Fish by default for interactive use (Settings->Command, set to the path to the fish executable). That way scripts that need Bash still work, but I get a sane environment for interaction. For "portable" scripts I write POSIX shell, C, or Python, depending on what I need to be portable to.

fish_add_path will solve one of the few annoying things about Fish.

I've been looking at trying Oil as a Bash replacement though, I think Oil for scripting + Fish for interaction might be a best-of-both-worlds setup.

That's all right, this is an event driven parser so at no point does it actually need a full representation of the document in addressable memory to parse it.
C64 tape with turbo was actually faster (~500 Bytes/s) than non turbo Floppy (~400 Bytes/s).

The python script/program ultimately depends on a Python interpreter which currently has to be distributed as a different binary for every platform.

So in the end, the difference is purely where the platform-differentiated compilation happens for VM & interpreted languages like Java & Python.

This would instead allow you to ship a single Python executable that simply works everywhere. Whether with a bundled-in script/program, or just the interpreter.
Nah, ransom is not usually the goal by domain thieves. They steal them to make a quick buck by reselling them.
This is horrifyingly incorrect. Your dog is very likely to learn to bite you in the future and what you're doing is abusing your dog.

Also you reference alpha/beta behaviour which has been debunked ages ago. There is no such thing.

Your understanding of dog psychology is decades out of date. It only works because you are instilling fear in your dog. Maybe your dog won't ever snap at you, but your methods have a very high risk of creating a violent dog.

Please seek out a dog behaviorist. Your methods are not what anybody should be doing.

car and cdr are remnants of an ancient instruction set (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAR_and_CDR)... first/rest, head/tail are better. Actually doesn't Haskell use head/tail for lists? Except even there what is in the prelude is busted since head/tail are partial.

Your general story of poor-to-doing-well is the majority story in the US (not sure of other countries). Income mobility is a huge thing in the US, a great feature that I see mentioned very little outside of academics. Something like 80% of people will be in the top 10% of earners at some point in their lifetime, and 98% of people will be in the top 50%. "poor" and "rich" are not static labels, and they vary greatly even year to year (Thomas Sowell has excellent data and analysis on this).

FWIW I grew up poor and I do the same as you - no debt, pay cash for cars (even expensive ones) and despite millions in the bank, I fear not being able to provide for the family. At my age, I've learned that this is a good thing, as opposed to people my age that have spent lavishly and are now wondering how to start saving for their retirement in 10 years.

We don’t, however, have any idea how to keep humans alive after killing of all the other species.

Well certainly video games are much harder than what most software engineers are doing. And game developers have a strong incentive to carw about performance and efficiency and really push the machine to its limits.

I switched to fish a very long time ago (2009 maybe?) because it started up so much faster than zsh w/ all the plugins that it took to get the fancy features fish had out of the box. Since then, fish has only become a lot faster as we have focused on performance and optimizations considerably.
Since many people are agreeing with you let me disagree for the sake of doing so:

I’ve used Haskell in production (not a very big service but anyway) and while I enjoyed it, I think that it was at the cost of my employer. Spending my time studying about lambda calculus and suffering through slow compile times of GHC isn’t a very rewarding experience (for me personally). IMO I’m still a better programmer for knowing the concepts of, but not by much. It’s a field bigger than Haskell and IMO writing production Haskell code only skims the surface of lambda calculus/theory.
