I still got it. Has been in storage for a long time.

My child did build it some years ago, now it's in his room.

If they plan to put this things in a low orbit their useful life before reentry is low anyway.

A quick search gave me a lifespan of around 5 years for a starlink satellite.

If you put in orbit a steady stream of new satellites every year maintenance is not an issue, you just stop using worn out or broken ones.

Terrestrial data centers save money and recoup costs by salvaging and recycling components, so what you're saying here is that space-based datacenters are even less competitive than we previously estimated.

Well about that ...

This is well know case of a "person of interest" kidnapped by the CIA in Milano, Italy. While the CIA was assisted by the Italian Intelligence, it was a completely illegal operation, without any due process or judiciary oversight.

For what is worth, I read the book this year, after reading about it in the blog Bits about Money by patio11.

The part where it gave you access to a thread you were not a part of seems scary to me..

In this case your absence from the thread was probably an oversight, but in general there could be a very good reason for it

The only way I can reasonably interpret it is that it was a discussion on a Teams channel they had access to but weren't involved in.

this; it was a public channel I had access to, but never look at (I'm on... too many to keep up with, fairly large company).

A friend that was going to deliver a child told us about a dad-to-be that was going around the maternity ward making videos ...

That's a good recipe for getting a black eye. The mother-to-be tends to be pretty much confined to her immediate affairs, but the partner…

(I'm sure everyone is different, but I've been there as the father-to-be, and I would have made a good effort of turning that live-stream into a live-colonoscopy.)

Considering the level of undress and temporary IDGAF of the moms in labor, filming anywhere near them is a good way to get injured.

> JavaScript / Ruby / Python: All provide JSON-style literals ([1,2,[3,4]], {"x":1,"y":[2,3]})

The Perl syntax for this is pretty similar:

[1,2,[3,4]], {"x", 1,"y", [2,3]}

that can also be written, with a bit of syntactic sugar:

[1,2,[3,4]], {x => 1, y => [2,3]}

For many, if not most, cases, given a Perl data structure, the round trip "Perl -> JSON -> Perl" is transparent.

Also here in Italy, of all places.

Crazy how they've been telling us since January that Europe won't be able to make up for the collapsing US IT sector while they can't even get basic state systems in order.

Geothermal energy is also a thing.

Is the heat produced inside a planet, mostly from the radioactive decay of natural isotopes.

Volcanoes are not powered by the Sun. Of course this production will cease when all isotopes will be depleted, but that will take a very long time.

The difference between the clarity of Dijkstra writing and the text at this link is astounding.

Vibes aren’t really about clarity, are they? The point is that a clear, programmatic approach is not the only effective computational mechanism for realizing intentions anymore.

Keep in mind that Dijkstra had some giant shoulders to stand on. This article is the very first one I’ve ever seen that directly dealt with vibes.

The thing is, for at least some readers, the attraction of _The Glass Bead Game_ and similar abstractions is that they should be able to communicate more clearly, and without the ambiguity of natural language, but with a naturalness which allows unbridled expression.

I really would like to see such a programming system realized, see efforts at:

https://github.com/IndieSmiths/myappmaker-sdd

but the more I work at programming, the more the solution seems to be documentation, and the best system for documenting code and the information about it seems to be:

I just need to find the perfect GUI toolkit which allows Bézier Curve representations in a way which clicks and makes sense to me, and suits my next project.

Not a proper answer, but here is a very good video on splines:

It was that video which gave me the hope that I would be able to master the math necessary for what I wish to do.
