It's funny this came out today! Just at lunch we were googling the highest and lowest capitals of the world. Lowest is Baku in Azerbaijan, at -28m!

> battle-tested like TLS instead of reinventing data encryption Working in the industry, CCSDS SDLS is quite battle tested, albeit in a different way than TLS. It's not reinventing…

It's most likely using vxworks for it's OS, since I believe it's one of the only fully certified ARINC653 OS's for human flight. It's used in most Aircraft and space missions.

My uncle works in the industry and was getting a new car recently. His two options were all electric or all ICE, because from his experience, EHEVs have the problems of both ICE an…

That's why I always have a clear case on my Macbook I cover with stickers. That way, I can take them with me when I leave, or take them off if I have a big meeting/presentation!

A lot of the chips have started including NPUs. How are applications supposed to access that acceleration now with embedded Linux? Does linux handle this for you, or do you need to…

Exactly. We've looked at using Wireguard at my company, but because it can't be made FIPS compliant, it makes it a hard sell. There is a FIPS Wireguard implementation by WolfSSL, i…

It was interesting to see that they didn't show the robot folding laundry; rather, just it laying out the clothes.

> Switch to someone who won't? And who would that be? The issue is that it's not as simple as just "switching" and giving another company your money. How would you migrate your 5-1…

For me, it's the first true upgrade in the design of a phone in a long time. It's not a slightly better CPU or battery, but a different way to work with this key device in my life.…

As mentioned by others, I think the art world has reached a major schism where there are two types of artists: those who target rich collectors and those who are more grassroots. I…

That's what our genetic councilor said as well. It's important to note autism is a spectrum and quite varied, some of it genetic and some of it related to other factors.

The take away from the teacher graphs were very different than my take aways. The author was bullish because ~55% used AI to help prep lessons. However, looking at the graph, I wou…

As a zennial, there are a couple things that contribute: 1. No one has a car when you're younger unless your parents are well off. Most people I know didn't have access to a car un…

One of the coolest ones in my opinion is Xiphos Systems. Lots of cool space hardware! https://xiphos.com/

Also looks like this is supported in Gitlab as well! Example from the Mariner repo[1] after doing a quick google and finding a link to the site. [1] https://gitlab.com/radek-sprta/…

I agree. Honestly, looking at the most recent icons, they look like what I remember the icons from 2024 looking like. I weas surprised to see that they were not the icons I remembe…

This has been happening in the US for the past 10 years. The big switch has been away from coal and some slower natural gas generators towards more nimble natural gas generators. C…

In LEO, there is a lot of testing and mitigation you can do with your design to help reduce the chance and impact of radiation single events. For example, redundancy for key compon…

The caveat to this is that that this also dependent on where in the lifecycle of the satellite you are at. For example after launch, you might just have your survival heaters on, w…

The biggest difference is radiation. Even in LEO, you will get radiation-caused Single Events that will affect the hardware. That could be a small error or a destructive error, dep…

How does this compare with something like IronBank? Looks like that could be a great partnership!

Same, I use bitwarden and it keeps all my passkeys in it and is available on all my devices.

I was thinking the same thing! I was looking all through the repo and site to see if they had any pictures of the apps running, or a setup using the device. To me, this is the easi…
