Thank you both for adding these comments. I'm older than you, mid-40s now, and I'm _just_ starting to get treatment for ADHD after a lot of unnecessary struggles. I'm sure that peo…

The new rule is 5 years after mission completion, so this already allows for a 25-year orbit (as long as you're still operating).

I can't speak to any current events, but I was an employee of Ximian, formerly Helix Code, from 2000 to 2004. I also lived with [name redacted] for a year around 2001 and/or 2002, …

Suffice it to say, this exploit was not simply chaining gadgets.

Nah, this was never really about lexicographic sorting. Pre-semver, there was general consensus between systems like dpkg and RPM about how version numbers worked. This is a bit of…

There's also the ability to collaborate with people who don't have an iOS device. If someone creates a Collection in Apple Maps I just don't get to participate. If someone creates …

Couple quick clarifications: BFR isn't a name that's still in use. Poster you're responding to was correct in calling it Starship: "SpaceX's Starship spacecraft and Super Heavy roc…

You are reacting to a factually incorrect statement. You do not lose access to games you paid for if your Pro subscription is canceled.

I agree! It felt like reading a (less egregious version of a) Trump denial, with the same impact -- no one cared before, but now it's a thing. As sibling points out though, we may …

I appreciate why the title was modified from the original, but the mistaken use of "it's" rather than "its" was introduced in the process and should be corrected.

I use Apple products at work, and am otherwise not very invested in the world of Apple. I frequently will have to look up how to accomplish a task or get a particular piece of soft…

The last two sentences of the article seem to at least obliquely address this: > In this century, we urgently need to undo some of the consequences of the last great boom by develo…

I've spoken before about how much I like Zulip. I don't know if it's any more stable or available than Slack, but I do like that the fundamental concepts exposed by Zulip actually …

That's true at a lot of organizations. The cost of a false positive hire typically vastly outweighs the cost of a false negative, particularly when you have the luxury of being per…

The article writes: > Anaxagoras was arrested, tried and sentenced to death, ostensibly for breaking impiety laws while promoting his ideas about the moon and sun. This provides th…

Indeed, but (unsurprisingly) Apple-only.

I just searched for TPUG on Google in both my logged in profile, as well as an incognito window. Both searches returned primarily results about the Toronto PET Users Group, includi…

I suspect it's a reflection of the way the majority of their audience interacts with search. For a large number of people, Google's ability to answer the underlying question, rathe…

Be careful with terminology. BE-4 and Raptor are both staged combustion methalox engines. Raptor is full-flow staged combustion, while BE-4 is oxidizer-rich staged combustion.

The article does not claim that the SSME is full flow; as described in the quote you pulled, it's fuel-rich. BE-4 is not full flow, but oxidizer-rich ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wik…
