2/3 of Norway homes use heat pumps... https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/nov/23/norway-h...

The B-52 and SR-71 had star tracking systems for that exact reason. Not sure about the B-52 version but the SR-71 worked in daylight. https://www.glennsmuseum.com/items/b52_astro/ …

That's my experience as well in 2 different companies where we went from 2 E15K to 2 E25K because it was "cheaper" than rewriting who knows how much code, for how long and at what …

Concorde holds the world record in both directions actually. F-BTSD did it: - westbound in 32 hours 49 minutes and 3 seconds on 12/13 October 1992, LIS-SDQ-ACA-HNL-GUM-BKK-BAH-LIS …

Well Concorde showed pre-orders don't mean much... :-D

Fair enough...

My take is it's not even an economic problem. Unless you fly really fast (like Mach 3++), flying east sucks. Let's assume we have a plane capable of Mach 3+: the SR-71 holds a reco…

I'm not sure why you're being downvoted because you're right: they have the technology, they don't have an engine, and this just looks like a civilian version of a fighter jet pret…

This is correct, reheat / afterburner was used from Mach 0.9 something to 1.7, after which they'd were off. So yes, Concorde could supercruise.

As far as I know (source, I still patch the LTS kernels), the fan control of the POE hat for the Pi 4 hasn't been merged yet. This thing was announced on May 2021... So not so good…

At this point, probably never it seems...

The issue with (software) raid is you have no idea if what you're copying isn't actually corrupted. If the filesystem isn't checksumed there's no guarantee.

I don't understand the point of the script, it's nothing more than: du -h --max-depth=1 "$@" | sort -hr

Pretty much but that's my experience as well, I made the same comment above...

The issue here is with your auditors. I mean if RH tells you a CVE has been fixed with a backport, sure you can challenge that fact but at the same time and with the same standards…

You are, on a 8086 the address width is 20 bits, hence the 1 Mo limit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_memory_segmentation

It's more like a PC 8086 emulator (or at least it tries to be). I mean the example is a call to the BIOS... http://www.ctyme.com/intr/rb-0210.htm Long time no see Ralf Brown's Inte…

There was a study which focused on pilots... https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/press-releases/carbon-diox... The results are very interesting to say the least: The findings showed …

You're right but I'm sure both companies had good reasons for their schedules (for instance noise restrictions at night). And realistically, from your plane at JFK to Manhattan, th…

For AF, my understanding (and my source actually worked that side of the business) is Concorde got profitable with special flights (aka people renting the plane to travel the world…

Except it doesn't really work. It could almost work flying west then east to get home but regular Concorde flights couldn't give you the option to fly back the same day. BA001 LHR …

Still, flying westbound fast makes tons of sense as you can arrive "before" you took off (local time) and thus you get a whole day in front of you. But eastbound makes a lot less s…

Well past Mach 1 actually, reheat was cut off at Mach 1.7.
