#114Good old segmentation and goto's at work! Are goto's still considered harmful?

#115> The team started by singling out the code responsible for packaging the spacecraft’s engineering data. They sent it to its new location in the FDS memory on April 18. A radio signal takes about 22 ½ hours to reach Voyager 1, which is over 15 billion miles (24 billion kilometers) from Earth, and another 22 ½ hours for a signal to come back to Earth. Talk about a slow feedback loop! And I get frustrated when I need t…
How much data can you send in a single radio single? I assume it's not TCP/IP

#116Incredible to see the same faces in that photo as in the excellent documentary: https://www.itsquieterfilm.com/ Voyager might make it to 2027.
no way to purchase/watch this outside of certain regions (I presume US-only or similar). What a shame.

Good lord could you imagine the meltdown HN would have if Apple had taken this option to solve the old-batteries-support-lower-peak-current physics problem? “Your device battery no longer supports the camera. Or the backlight on the top third of the screen. But it runs at full speed otherwise!”
Meh just buy a new Voyager!
OMG the new one is black!!
