We're saying the same thing -- one radioastron satellite isn't enough, you'd need a constellation of them.

> How about putting our astronomy experiments into space as well? There'd be no light / em pollution there, as well as no atmospheric interference etc. One would need to put the te…

> In space there are no limits, see Radioastron for example, and that was decades ago. Radioastron required cross-correlating the signal with ground-based radio teleacopes in order…

There's at least two issues with this line of thinking: 1. many astronomical observations are long integrations (many minutes of open shutter) and you often cannot read out the pix…

Can you elaborate on how this is doable (in, say, Racket) and what tooling is needed? I'm afraid your reply doesn't add much information beyond the same assertion that I quoted tha…

That could very well be it. I guess I had gotten my hopes up, seeing the statement in a piece that purported to be specifically about Scheme .

There is a mission concept for a far-infrared interferometer: https://asd.gsfc.nasa.gov/spice/ One would need to go to space for that of course.

I don't use it often, but have you tried the Wikipedia current events portal? A reading of their brief daily summaries from the past week might be close to what you're looking for.…

Why copy and paste text from the article without adding any commentary?

I thought the same thing too, when it was announced. But I suspect, in addition to the price, that not being able to buy a medium or long bed version also harmed fleet sales. The s…

I was thinking about employee-facing tools, but I agree that TUIs present an even bigger challenge for casual users / customers.

An interesting theme here in the comments (that I am sympathetic to) is "TUIs have steep learning curves but are fast/efficient for people with proficiency". I wonder if a small pa…
