Are these probes micro-accelerating the whole time with ion engines? You'd need 4 times the average velocity to cover the same distance*, which means 8 times the final velocity, which means accelerating from 0 to 8 over 10 years instead of 0 to 1 over 40 years. That means 32x more acceleration over the whole period. No: we won't have that technology in 30 years, nor in 100 years.

Maybe, maybe, maybe if you were able to refuel in orbit and strapped a ginormous multi-stage chemical rocket onto the thing in orbit. Maybe. But we're not going to be doing that in 30 years either.

* Higher velocities can mean shorter distances though, because your trajectory is less warped by the curvature of space. The biggest time saver would be avoiding time-consuming gravity assists, if there are any (I assume there are, but I didn't download the 500-page PDF).

A strategic failure is what happened in the Yom Kippur War when the Israeli counterattack penetrated the Egyptian and Syrian front and started attacking the rear. I don't see how gaining 20% of an opponent's territory and entrenching yourself is losing even if Russia thought it would achieve more faster. So far Ukraine hasn't demonstrated an ability to counterattack at scale.
OS kernel level observability. I shouldn't need to fire up `strace` for that; I should be able to do something like `observe $my_program $my_args` and have streaming results somewhere in `/proc`.

Another thing: CPU-level observability. I want to be able to get statistics about a block of code: which instructions got ran the most, which ones are the slowest etc. Profiling on steroids, basically. If Intel / AMD are not willing to provide that then I'm willing to work with almost any CPU model that does offer that. Anybody knows of such CPUs?

I'm also interested in eBPF but sadly can't find the time to dive deep there.
It seems to me like the data source would welcome the free advertising.
There are millions of such databases available with much more info. Our goal is to educate people on how our mobile numbers are vulnerable to SIM Swap and how important are number from identify point of view. Our business model is Secure Mobile Subscription.

If any one finds a need to protect their number, they'll upgrade their carrier to Efani Secure Mobile. We don't sell client data and only make money off the difference carriers charge us minus what client pays us.

Each of these queries cost us $, so we'll be able to calculate the CaC. One day, we may be able to be a standard for this tool to be used in OpSec where a number can't be added as 2FA if it's below a specific score
Note that Food Network recipes on their website may not be quite like what you illustrate. In my experience, they have lots of squared-away recipes that don't take long and are reliable crowd-pleasers. Even the crazed flavortown troll, Guy Fieri, has some really solid recipes on the Food Network website. It might have sucked in his restaurant on Times Square but I've made a bunch of his recipes and they've been exactly what was wanted/needed. Some of that may be because a bunch of his recipes are from third parties, but honestly I don't care: dude's 'channel' delivers.

And, if you want prepackaged sliced carrots for whatever reason, just search for Rachel Ray recipes.
The problem with that is the launch costs are a small fraction of the total cost of these big missions. A launch on an Ariane 5 costs $177m, that’s a small slice of the total $10bn cost of the JWST. Starship will really shine for cheap heavy payloads.

> Nor where cloth masks mentioned by Fauci yet they were by 'Reason' so it's the same difference.

Yes, Reason mentioned "the cloth masks that most people were required to wear indoors throughout the pandemic".

And Fauci did not mention them, but he did make a statement about them, which was that the category "masks that work in [the] prevention of acquisition and transmission [of covid-19]" doesn't include them. And that is the same statement that Reason reports.

>> Cloth masks don't meet any standard of quality or well-fittedness

> Where are you getting that info from ? I had a cloth mask with n95 filter slips that seemed to fit exceptionally well.

Well, I'm familiar with the standard that cloth masks do meet, which is "any piece of cloth, such as part of an old t-shirt, with ear straps attached". You're free to wear something that meets a higher standard than that, but it's never been a requirement. What was Reason talking about again?

(I should also note that your personal cloth mask wasn't meeting a standard of fit either. N95 masks are quite painful to wear, because they have to maintain a seal.)

Also there is "Granular Synthesis":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granular_synthesis

>Granular synthesis is a sound synthesis method that operates on the microsound time scale.

>It is based on the same principle as sampling. However, the samples are split into small pieces of around 1 to 100 ms in duration. These small pieces are called grains. Multiple grains may be layered on top of each other, and may play at different speeds, phases, volume, and frequency, among other parameters.

>At low speeds of playback, the result is a kind of soundscape, often described as a cloud, that is manipulatable in a manner unlike that for natural sound sampling or other synthesis techniques. At high speeds, the result is heard as a note or notes of a novel timbre. By varying the waveform, envelope, duration, spatial position, and density of the grains, many different sounds can be produced.

>Both have been used for musical purposes: as sound effects, raw material for further processing by other synthesis or digital signal processing effects, or as complete musical works in their own right. Conventional effects that can be achieved include amplitude modulation and time stretching. More experimentally, stereo or multichannel scattering, random reordering, disintegration and morphing are possible.

As a counterpoint to "Black MIDI", there's also "100 White Albums":

https://archive.nytimes.com/artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/...

>Listening to the Beatles’ ‘White Album’ 100 Times, All at Once

>When the conceptual artist Rutherford Chang presented his idiosyncratic art show “We Buy White Albums” at the Recess Gallery in SoHo in January, he told a visitor that the exhibition was only part of the project. The exhibition seemed plenty, really: Mr. Chang transformed the gallery into a mock record shop in which the only discs on display were copies of “The Beatles” — the 1968 double-disc set popularly known as the “White Album” because of its stark cover.

>Mr. Chang had hundreds of copies, all vinyl LPs, and what fascinated him was the way each aged and the ways their former owners kept them — some pristine, others with drawings, poetry, messages or scrawled names.

>Now, in time for the 45th anniversary of the album’s release on Friday, Mr. Chang has completed the project’s audio component. While listening to each copy of the “White Album” he collected, Mr. Chang made a digital recording. He then overlaid 100 of them, and pressed them as a vinyl set, with a cover on which some of the more colorful examples of former-owner artwork were overlaid as well. He has posted Side 1 on his web page, and said he would sell copies at the WFMU Record Fair, Friday through Sunday.

- Relatively low maximum rows in a table
- No transactions
- No public API for file uploads

The problem with this logic is that an SF-LA line that serves nothing else actually fails to serve most of the state. The median Californian lives in Ventura, so if you just want to serve a majority you can do LA-SD and call it done. Or, you can do Bakersfield-Chico with a spur to SJ and Oakland, you’re also serving the majority of the state that way.

The latter is way easier to build in particular the spine through the Capitol.
We're missing a high-speed connection here. The Bordeaux-Sète line is relatively slow (130-160 km/h) and handle a lot of different traffic (freight, regional, TGV, intercity). If the Bordeaux-Toulouse high-speed line is done (planned 2032), that travel time would be shortened.

I seldom post on annoyances, but what you wrote is such a similar experience to mine.

Recent experience: I boot into Windows, but it screams for update. Ok, I update. It triggers my bios update - to my surprise, I had no idea an OS can do that. Ok, updating bios. Now Windows want me to update to win 11. Sure, let's give it ago, I waited this long. Message pops up - "Windows can't be updated to version 11 on this machine" or something along those lines.

OK, deep breaths, let's try to play some Dota. I start the game, play with friends aaaand here's the popup that asks me if I want to restart my machine now or schedule it for later - of course, this popup comes at the worst time possible, minimizing the game in the crucial moment and then I remembered - "ah yes, this is why I abandoned Windows, the updates and constant annoyance every week".

On topic - I run PopOS! and it boots below 10 seconds. After reading this article, I'll fiddle to see if it can be lowered.

Concerns about Kessler syndrome won't stop combatants from using anti-satellite weapons. When national (or regime) survival is at stake, they will shoot down adversary satellites and worry about cleaning up the mess later.

Kessler syndrome is mainly only a concern in higher orbits anyway. In lower orbits there's enough atmospheric drag that anything not periodically boosted will re-enter within a few years.

Combatants will have to consider satellites to be expendable anyway so they'll go ahead and launch replacements even if expected lifetime is very short. Even in if there's a lot of debris in orbit, it will take a while on average for any individual satellite to get hit.

This is absolutely nothing like MAD. Satellites have to be destroyed one at a time, and that involves little or no loss of human life or national infrastructure. In fact, I predict that if the USA gets into a major shooting war with China or Russia, satellites will be among the first targets on both sides.

You could use any employees as a reference. In my experience, references are always checked and you should have an idea of what they'll say or don't use them.

When I'm a reference, I'm always asked about a set of things the employer has in mind and it always varies. Never just "did he work here". That's the HR reference check, which happens because you listed the prior employer.

A couple of times I've gotten a rough transcript of what my references said about me. Not every checking agency/process does that. I was blown away by some of the kudos I received, thankfully.

You’re simply wrong dude.

The proof is all around us. People don’t want to use services run by their friends. Otherwise they would.

I trust my brother with my life, but I would prefer to use Instagram DMs rather than a chat service he is running on a VPS. There is so much that can go wrong with a service like that. No offense to him, but I’d rather a company handle it where people are getting paid to do it.

Generally speaking, if someone is running a service out of the goodness of their heart, they are doing it as a hobby. And you have to wonder why it is so fun to them? They enjoy handling peoples’ chats? Seems a lil weird. I love my brother, but just seems a little off.

People do think like this.
You're mistaking average/good developers for great ones.

> A stop in Fresno should have been sacrificed so that California High Speed Rail could still happen for the majority of the state.

Sacrificing the stop in Fresno (and the other Central Valley cities) would not have enabled HSR for the majority of the state. If anything, it would have made it less viable, not only politically (both in terms of federal and state politics), but also in terms of meeting the actual official goals of the project.

I could swear this was the cluster size for FAT32 on a 2G drive, but apparently not[1], this is the cluster size for FAT16 on 2G. FAT is just utterly dumb in how it does space allocation: it doesn’t even have a bitmap, it’s just a gigantic dense array of linked list nodes (the eponymous file allocation table). Perfectly fine for a 360K floppy on a 32K machine, predictably painful for a 2G hard drive on a 32M machine. Add in narrow allocation unit (“cluster”) numbers, and you end up with huge allocation units.

As far as I can see, ext2/3 instead use a free bitmap and a tree-style “indirect block” setup that is recognizably similar to (though greatly extended from) V1 UNIX (1971) [2], predating even the original FAT8 (1977). Ext4 can do extent [that is, (start, end) pair] allocation instead, and XFS, ZFS, Btrfs, etc. are built around it. Thus they can and actually do manage disk space in smaller bits.
