GEO satellites typically don't use hall effect thrusters for much. Primary propulsion for large GEO satellites is typically a hypergolic system. Ion thrusters, if present, are typically a station keeping tool.

For example, the satellite bus used by EchoStar-7, which is the satellite in question here (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_Martin_A2100)
uses Hydrazine and NTO for primary propulsion, with hydrazine monoprop for atittude control, and the monoprop thrusters and ion thrusters for station keeping.

While the new version of that bus has the option for all-electric propulsion, it really isn't clear how popular that option has actually been. There aren't really many details about it.
And there it is not needed. You could implement this in JS.
The linked article has some more critical information. It sounds like GTK doesn't support themes (i.e. structured styling with mechanically enforced boundaries, guidelines, etc), and some people are using custom CSS overrides to emulate it. But this means literally anything could change, and app developers can't really defend about it, so apps break.

IMO I'd petition for GTK to support safe theming, and maybe build up what themes can do in a controlled manner over time, rather than just tell everyone to stop with the CSS. But maybe it's a foregone conclusion that GTK devs won't do this.

I'm sympathetic to users. I don't think devs have the right to force branding on users and there are good accessibility reasons to want themes, but its also reasonable for devs to want their software to not look like crap out of the box and there are carefully hand crafted UIs for specific uses that will never fit a theming standard.
The problem here to me is that Krita is simply a mess.

Krita is supposedly part of the KDE project, which is committed to switching to wayland, but has 0 wayland support. In practice, that means that if you use other input devices they can have bugs that make it unusable.

So it's Linux story is weak. A very bad start for a KDE app...but at least maybe on Windows it works well.

Well the problem then is it does the classic blender thing of having non standard shortcuts and usage modes, except unlike blender it does so for literally no reason. Buttons in most of these programs, for certain classes of operations are standardized, and Krita just works differently for the fun of it. No justifications, just "spend a long time changing it if you want it different."

The icons are also incredibly ugly and people get defensive about them. The QT thememing is fine, but the actual icons for brushes and the like look amateurish at best and really brings down the cohesiveness of the program.

Certain tools are also abysmal to use. The text tool is a joke. Then you have certain operations being incredibly slow.

I have worked as a professional artist for years. People here really seem to be implying photoshop is the "big dog" in the space, but this simply isn't true. I see far more CSP users than Photoshop users and among my coworkers and haven't used photoshop for anything but some post processing for years. Krita then needs to compete with CSP, and Procreate (which has gotten huge recently.) To be frank, it doesn't. CSP works mediocorely with Wine but because the input problems don't exist that exist with Krita I have taken to using that on Linux ironically because I use KDE. Krita is basically a non option for me at this point and has me considering making a GPU accelerated open source drawing app instead of suffering this current atrocious landscape.

There are issues with the quote, and Communist countries do pollute, but if the argument is (as avgcorrection stated):

> Then it's the small task of changing the economic model of the entire developed (and less developed, and exploited) world. The model that all of the richest and most powerful people depend on.

Then yes, you're talking specifically about Capitalism at this point; avgcorrection is saying that we can't make this change because it conflicts with Capitalism.

;) Unless you're trying to imply that Communism is the driving economic force behind the entire developed world, which I'm going to guess is not something you believe.

I do think it's reasonable to ask whether the problem of human exploitation and the tendency for entrenched powers to cement their own power at the expense of the world is perhaps broader than one economic system and whether that harmful instinct might show up in multiple places and systems beyond only Capitalism. One could very reasonably argue (and I would argue) that Capitalism showcases just one manifestation of a human instinct that corrupts multiple economic systems including Communism.

But avgcorrection's criticism (as far as I can tell) was that we can't shift off of fossil fuels because that shift is incompatible with the driving economic model of our time: Capitalism. So I don't think the quote is inappropriate. It's easier to imagine the end of the world than to imagine the system avgcorrection is referencing (Capitalism) even temporarily bending in order to prevent that end. Whatever solution is proposed is only likely to be adopted if it doesn't conflict with Capitalist ends because Capitalism is fully willing to look directly at an incoming catastrophe, shrug its shoulders, and do nothing if the solution would decrease immediate profits.

I agree that for people who do that type of work, it's engineering

For a typical fullstack dev building views, CRUDs, and simple DB schemas, less so

And you're probably right that most SWEs don't deal with math-adjacent things.

I don’t miss those days. My condolences to her.

When I was a student the rule was you had to do a year in community mental health type setting during school as an internship prior to graduation. I forget the exact hours requirement. It was supposed to be a learning experience but almost all of us were just put to work with a full caseload from day 1, paid $0 and hour, and the agency billed on our behalf. It was very burnout inducing to be making nothing working in the setting you describe. Then you’d graduate and get to have the honor of making $15-25/hour, the low end of which was offered over at target.

It’s also why I don’t understand how those programs struggle so much. AFAIK the practice continues to this day and it means they have a sea of interns providing free labor. The interns don’t get the same session rate as a fully licensed therapist but at the same time they literally cost $0/hour, they are slave labor. Medicaid and the community mental health system is built on it. It’s why low SES individuals are by default used to never having the same therapist for more than a few months or so; the turnover is crazy
RTCPeerConnection is central to WebRTC, it's the main p2p connection. In Node you use the same thing. The server is just another "peer". We wrap @roamhq/wrtc with SimplePeer, which, funnily enough heh, greatly simplifies things! :) RTCPeerConnection is central to simple peer.

The other library does say it has a different API, on its homepage: Easy to Use - The API design is similar to the browser's WebRTC API, which reduces the learning cost.

From: https://shinyoshiaki.github.io/werift-webrtc/website/build/

Regarding native binaries we have not had any issues so far, mainly as the prior major wrtc provided pre-built binaries for every major platform. I think the new one posted here expands the set of targets.

I do recall encountering a few obstacles with various addons from different libraries in different projects in the past, and node-gyp was occasionally involved. Tho I don't recall it being particularly troublesome, nor preventing us doing what we wanted. In fact I fondly recall node-pre-gyp or whatever usefully creating a build for the current target on the fly on install, which was fantastic and convenient, magic.

In the worst case to build for a custom arch, I consider these types of things a configuration issue, nothing insurmountable.

Stepping back, I think a lot of these concerns will eventually go away, or you can currently make them go away, with wasm. Which, while not at C++ perf level, is adequate and a significant speedup on node for some computationally intensive tasks.

I'm interested to know more about what particular issues have you had with native addons and node-gyp in the past and what you are currently using WebRTC for, if you're interested to share.

Is he a capitalist though? He lit "his" capital on fire to buy and ruin Twitter. It seems like his goals are mostly political. He bought the site so he could push his far-right ideology. His recent trip to the border supports that. It does nothing but alienate customers and advertisers, yet he did it anyway. Same with his constant whining about trans people, that's not a business decision, it's a far-right ideological decision.

Come decision time, most people pick whatever meets their needs for the cheapest price.

The ideologically-driven people are a minority. A very vocal minority, but a minority.

Most people just choose what's cheap, convenient, and gets the job done. We can put our fingers on the scale by shifting subsidies and taxes around.

I doubt they're covered to the same degree as in America (e.g. CNN reiterating every detail, over and over, for days).

Hi all, product engineer who worked on this. Workflows is something we’ve spent almost two years working on and we’re all excited to announce it has gone “GA” (generally available)!

There’s _a lot_ that goes into shipping a new product to GA within an existing company that I hope to write about later, but today I’m just excited that it’s finally out there for everyone to use.

We initially created Workflows because a lot of Retool customers wanted a way to build automations – like jobs to search Twitter for topics and dump relevant Tweets into a database. We prototyped and user-tested a bunch of different UIs, and landed on letting users drag and drop code blocks on a 2D canvas, while also making each code block a self-contained REPL.

We found that it struck a nice balance between the simplicity and speed of visual programming and the power to extend and customize everything (including the built-in logic blocks) with code.

There’s a lot more that we’ve built to make it more useful and powerful for engineers (time traveling debugging, split-screens, tree-views, auto-layouts, etc) that I’d be more than happy to answer questions about!
It seems to be quick to apologize and I would also be interested if people can find thresholds. ChatGPT with the GPT-4 model doesn't want to accept that there are 13 inches in a foot.

Me: How many inches are in a foot?

ChatGPT: There are 12 inches in a foot.

Me: Are you sure? I'm pretty sure there are 13 inches in a foot.

ChatGPT: I'm certain that there are 12 inches in a foot according to the standard U.S. and British Imperial units of measurement.

Me: Well I say there are 13 inches in a foot now.

ChatGPT: The standard measurement for a foot in both U.S. and British Imperial units is 12 inches. While you're free to have your own interpretation, it won't align with established measurement systems.

Me: The definition of a foot could have changed between your knowledge cutoff and now, right?

ChatGPT: While it's theoretically possible for the definition to change, such a fundamental alteration to a widely-used system of measurement would be significant and unlikely to occur without substantial justification and widespread agreement. As of my last update in January 2022, a foot is defined as 12 inches.

Even assuming that it would be practical to match the inoperative's satellite orbit to the required precision to have "collision speeds measured in mm/s", the contact interface would need to be perfectly on the center of mass - otherwise any further propulsive maneuvers would cause it to tip to one side. The exterior faces of satellites are really unsuitable for this unless they are specifically designed for this.

> satellites already have a star tracker that includes a capable camera

Which is focused at infinity. Neither the hardware nor the software is capable of tracking a big object nearby and providing feedback to align itself how you're proposing, without significant changes.

Edit: just to give an idea of how difficult docking in space is in general, take a look at the International Docking System Standard (used on the ISS): https://www.internationaldockingstandard.com/

Table 3.3.1.1-2 tells you the conditions for docking; velocities of 50-100mm/s are expected. And look at how much hardware is needed to dampen the energy. It has 6 DoF actuators, hydraulic components, etc. etc. And that's for the ISS - all spacecraft going there are specifically designed to be able to accurately approach and dock with the ISS. There's just no way you can get that level of precision with a satellite bus designed for communications and station keeping.
Clarification here: they are asking you to not, and warning that you're getting into "unsupported territory".
WW2 only lasted 4-7 years depending on which country you were in. There was direct, visible progress along the way. As soon as the war was over, everything could go back to "normal" (at least for the winners).

What you're asking for is a permanent reduction in standards of living. While that might be the right thing to do, it's going to be difficult to convince average people to vote for that. Many of them are barely getting by as it is and don't think they are able to sacrifice more.

Also, an external battery pack achieves one thing (extended battery life) but not the other -- still wouldn't be able to easily replace the internal battery once it has aged out.

Ask HN: What skills from life/hobby/work do you regularly apply in other areas?
I'm curious to learn about the skills that you've acquired in one area of your life (work, personal life, hobbies, etc.) that you've found yourself using surprisingly often in other areas.

For example, maybe you've picked up project management skills at work and found them useful in organizing your personal life. Or perhaps a hobby like cooking or gardening has taught you patience and attention to detail, and you've found those skills helpful in your professional life.

Please share your experiences. I'm particularly interested in skills that you use frequently I.e. daily or weekly. And skills can be broad, I’m including intangible skills too.
