It's absolutely fair. Try to find an Intel CPU on the market without a node disadvantage. Doesn't exist. We can only (and it only makes sense to) compare what exists now, what consumers are able to buy right now. If Intel magically comes up with a CPU that runs on a similar node, then sure, but until then, the reality is that they're on the market at a node disadvantage. That's not something you can just wave away as "oh, well, Apple has a better node". All that matters is what devices you can buy and what their performance/power metrics are actually like.
This hand wringing about CO2 Emissions by rockets is the weirdest ongoing trend I've seen. If you want to complain about environmental issues, at least complain about something interesting like how sound at the launch pad disrupts the breeding patterns of an animal or something.

At least that can cause interesting discussion other than , BUT CO2 and WARMING.

Anyway, seems like you think I was saying that the evolution was artificial. Evolution is heritable variation and the forces that choose among those variations. Natural selection, artificial selection, and genetic drift are possible forces that choose the variation, but in this case, the variations themselves are still random mutations.

That's the biased interpretation of the PGLAF. Framing the whole thing as "unambiguous", "managed to find a German Court" and "some precedents" is disingenuous. There is a reason they don't refer to any precedent supporting their position: there is none. How can you say with a straight face that the issue is unambiguous when in fact there is precedence pointing in the other direction?

Note that the courts didn't ignore those treaties and or somehow ruled they weren't enforceable. They just have a different interpretation of the legal contents of those treaties than the PGLAF does. Law is often not black or white and anyone who claims there is just one true position doesn't tell you the whole truth. The issue is actually pretty interesting legally and there is a lot more subtlety to it than the claim that courts are somehow bending the law.

The whole point is that Starship actually allows you to start thinking of the very problems you speak of.

It was a major version number change. Per the top of the blog post here, they're switching to a new versioning system with 3.x

Prior to 3.x, the major version was the .X part and the 2 was somewhat meaningless.

E.g their versioning prior to 3.x is 2.major.minor.patch and will now switch to major.minor.patch
Depends what "disconnected" means. Before Object Relational Mappers came along, you wrote a load of SQL in Stored Procs or in some other framework. This was super tight coupling because updating the database version could ruin everything. Not everything was in compiled code, so it was hard to track.

If you use an ORM (such as Entity Framework I'm about to mention but there are lots) for the write/mutation part then the ORM provides you with that disconnect. You might want to use a different mapper for read, that allows you to write efficient SQL that meets particular needs.

For example, a few years back in .NET Framework I swapped a system that designed/built on Sql Server to run on Postgres. Took me a few days. I didn't change any domain logic during that time. I'd say that the ORM provided a disconnect between the actual persistence and my domain.

I do like a disconnect between my API and the database so that I am able to update the database without causing issues with consumers of my API. That usually requires some kind of mapping but only once. My preferred model right now is a CQRS (don't need ES) using Paramore's Brighter command pattern.

That's for an RDBMS, I think with schemaless/DocDB you can go even further but then the code that loads out the data needs to deal with missing values. That's a different sort of constraint.

I hope that helps, I think I'm rambling now.
>Running my own DNS just proved to be too much of a troubleshooting headache, since if a site was broken it was one additional step. The pihole itself has been almost no trouble, but the diy DNS would occasionally fail to resolve a site. If I'm at home, the last thing I really want to do in the evening is troubleshoot network issues.

A fair point.

That said, note the edit on the comment to which you replied.

I've been running my own authoritative DNS for (personal) domains I own for 15 years or so and have spent very little time managing that. I also run my own internal DNS servers (hybrid BIND/AD DNS) without issue.

As such, I don't expect to have many issues with a simple recursive resolver.

That said, I understand your point of view and know that managing DNS isn't for everyone.

However, I'd rather perform my own DNS lookups rather than relying on my ISP(s), Google or Cloudflare. Yes, my ISP could capture every single recursive query, but I'd rather have them do that than just log every DNS query I make.

No, it doesn't significantly add to my privacy, but (IMHO) it's better than the alternative.
Even 90,000 launches over 10 launch windows is 9,000 launches per window. Launch opportunities are about 30 days max per window (depending on the flight profile) so that'd be 300 launches per day or over 12 launches per hour .

I'm not saying this is bonkers, but this is completely ridiculous and it doesn't matter whether it's 90,000 or 180,000 or even "just" 45,000 launches - it's completely impractical.

Not to mention that proponents always act as if it's no biggie to just crank out thousands of metric tons of useful equipment for a permanent Mars settlement in just a couple of years.

You, know, including R&D and engineering and paying for all that.
If the RPi SoC supported being an SPI slave (it doesn't) you could do something similar to a token ring network at up to - theoretically - something like 100 mbit/s.
Starship contains a total of 3,400 + 1,200 = 4,600 tons of propellant [1]. The propellant being methane and oxygen.

So, someone can do the math to work out how much CO2 is generated by burning that much of that mix. In any case, that is very small compared to the overall emissions of human society.

That being said, methane can be produced a number of ways, for instance digestion of food waste. Therefore, they could source methane in a way that would allow to claim (quite reasonably) that they are carbon-neutral.

Yes, I think there are too many. Everyone tends to go for the latest and greatest. The Pi is heading towards becoming a PC replacement, but I'm not sure what advantage that is.

Instead of have faster computers, I want a faster OS. Or preferably very little in the way of an OS. Something like a DOS, perhaps. Something where you could write blazingly-fast software because the kernel is straightforward. And I want a real-time kernel.

I'm vaguely aware that there's some stuff out there, like RTEMS and a real-time Linux, but I suspect it's all a pain to set up.

I've played around with writing my own "kernel" - but it's more in the style of a "unikernel" - which is a pretty good approach.

The real problem occurs when you want to use the USB. A USB stack is not easy to implement. I also had the SD card working, but I haven't been able to get it working lately.

I would like to see Pis flourish as a way of implementing Operating Systems, but the hardware is too complex.

Maybe some kind of Pico/Pi hybrid might be feasible. That might sound an insane suggestion, but Ebon has mentioned in the past that a combo of a Pi with a microcontroller is a good one. Why not take this idea to its logical conclusion and put both on the same board?
This is definitely false according to SR, because the event is on the past light cone of the observation.
Watch is not solved and most of our sea rescue services rely on cargo ship crew as first responders. Rescue planes don't have the range for recovery. Planes can't land in blue water. So it comes down to the small crew keeping a sharp look out for someone in distress.
One of the many reasons I use YT or Vimeo is that I simply upload the high-res render, edit some metadata and I'm done with a simple embed in most cases. Alternate versions for lower bandwidth are automatically made and automatically served, streaming is taking care of (YT really excels here), and there is a nice API to do interactive stuff.

I do use the <video> element from time to time, but only if I want to optimise the loading of an autoplaying video or there is some other technical reason.

Epson and others are still going strong, but AR has been pigeonholed into drone piloting and industrial applications space for several years. The software ecosystem (especially compelling and usable interfaces for input and programming) is what's really lacking for broad adoption, the hardware works well and will only have incremental improvements and price reductions at this point.

Well, see, the trays used to be different sizes so you couldn't stack them, so without this patent the TSA wouldn't have thought to do that /s

> A disadvantage to the present system used in security areas is that the trays for holding laptop computers are not part of a uniform system and do not protect the items from possible damage. Therefore, it is possible that multiple size trays that do not in any way correspond with one another may be used at a security area thus making storage of the trays when they are not in use cumbersome.
Introduction to Terraform CDK
100 tons of payload. Rockets are typically about 2% payload so 5000 tons fully fuelled. Fuel and oxidizer combine to H2O, OH, CO and CO2. So, not all the exhaust product is CO2. But some of the CO released is combined with atmospheric oxygen to CO2, so that increases the mass of CO2 besides direct propellant mass.

We could as first guess say that it's about 5000 tons of CO2 per launch. So 1000 launches would be 5 million tons.

US CO2 emissions per capita are about 16 tons per year, so it would be equivalent to the yearly emissions of 300,000 Americans or one thousandth of the country's yearly emissions.

10,000 launches would be 1% of US total emissions.

This has come up a few times. Mostly the owner is set in their ways and are mad at CF for not providing the DNS flags that allow outside CDNs to figure out what IP you are closest to. From a 2019 thread about this:

The archive.is owner has explained that he returns bad results to us because we don’t pass along the EDNS subnet information. This information leaks information about a requester’s IP and, in turn, sacrifices the privacy of users. This is especially problematic as we work to encrypt more DNS traffic since the request from Resolver to Authoritative DNS is typically unencrypted. We’re aware of real world examples where nationstate actors have monitored EDNS subnet information to track individuals, which was part of the motivation for the privacy and security policies of 1.1.1.1.

While I have much dislike for SLS, there is just no way in hell SpaceX will charge $10M for a launch. SpaceX have their own goals which they need funds for and they're not going to under cut their Falcon 9 that intensely like that. That's not to say that Starship won't be the best price per ton of payload to orbit. But let's stay reasonable here.

As for NASA remaining with SLS, for now at least, is due to a mix of congressional support, and the remaining unproven nature of starship. SLS allows members of congress say that they're supporting jobs. While SpaceX is pushing the limits of space engineering, Boeing and many other contractors have pushing the limits of political engineering. Hence the result that the same company that took us to the moon can't get into orbit, but is still maintaining contracts in spite of screwing up everything.
Actually a helpful way to think about the problem.

Agreed. I bought my laptop four years ago for £600. It has a 3200x1800 bright and clear display, 8GB RAM, is thin and light, the battery lasts six hours, and I really don't care that the CPU is an Atom, because I'm always logged into a heavier system over the network.

This gets me too. In high school I called it "the power of a blank text file." Something about knowing that this was how every great software product began life was very empowering and intoxicating to me.

When you open vim and look at the blinking cursor, you stand on the precipice of greatness in the shoes of every programmer who has ever lived, all of you united across space and time by that peculiar feeling you get when you peer into the infinite possibilities of your empty text file.
Brain is conditioned by the sensory input augmented with "verbal knowledge" (how it is encoded is irrelevant).

Religious and mystic experiences work exactly the same way. When many other people around you do strange things they start to make sense.

So, basically, it is fooling of neural nets by giving strong cues or whatever you might call them.

In religion such strong cues are other people's facial expressions and body language.

The brain's neural networks recognize strong signals of "taking positive actions" or whatever.

Which is probably fine for most text. Although note that CC0 was withdrawn from consideration by the OSI as a software license primarily because of issues around the patent language.

I think a SS will be essential as a waypoint but the difference is we can't mine anything at scale in space but we can on the moon. A full scale Mars civilization is never happening without a major advance in propulsion and cost-effective materials. The moon is close enough that we can iterate and learn fairly quickly. There are so so many things we only think we know how to do but haven't really tried. Hopefully all these fake space flights can at least fun a moon colony. In the end though, humans are selfish and we won't take care of the next planet any better than we do this one.

> you previously had a smaller screen with a larger bezel

Just on that topic though, why do I have to compromise to have something close to 3:2 aspect ration on MBP when there are other laptops that do 3:2 with decent webcams and face recognition. Or no facial recognition and super thin bezels.

I'm willing to forgo face recognition for thin bezels. I guess what I was really hoping for was for a 14" version of the XPS15 with an M1 and a close to 3:2 aspect ratio. It feels like we got really close to something great but then compromised at the 5 yard line.
Agree. Even yesterday I was praising Blender's node editor and I'm encouraging the developers to mimic its functionalities in a product we are building.
Wow, this looks so much better, thank you. The search box isn't very usable, yet that's the only thing I discovered until now.

Exactly. Way too many people seem to ignore the cost of developing and certifying scientific instruments.

There's nothing gained from sending 50t of metal to the outer solar system. Scientific instruments are usually purpose-built and while lifting mass restriction can bring down cost, you'd still have to account for redundancy and precision because no one's going to fly out to Jupiter to properly unfold that darn antenna.
