My 5090 couldn't handle that starfield at the beginning. I got a 1202 alarm just scrolling down..
Ran smooth on both my iPhone and my 13-year-old thinkpad x230.

Re: NASA Force
#173NASA "Force?" It sounds very similar to Space Force and Air Force and adds a militaristic tone to NASA. Maybe that is the intent. I know that NASA and the military are closely linked but the general brand of NASA is a the science-focused civilian side while something like Space Force would be the military side.

ohhh... right, clearly, they only expected Mac users to open the web page or to apply.
It choked on my M5 Max MBP w/ 128GB of Unified Memory connected via a TB5 dock over 10GbE directly to my router, which is backed by 5Gbit symmetric fiber. My measured average latency to nasaforce.gov was under 13ms.
So, yeah.

#17510.5MB page weight for a landing page? This national design studio is...not great.

I think it's called NASA Force to screw with the search results for Space Force, similar to Boris Johnson saying his hobby was building toy buses, in order to try and reduce the relevancy of the Brexit bus.
Why would the president that created space force want to screw with it? Was there some recent bad blood or something else I missed?
I doubt the president of the united states is personally reviewing the wording of low level job postings.
Re: NASA Force
#177Two things: - I like the rolling Moon animation very much. - This seems like a clever way of getting talent involved during a budget squeeze, presumably with the hope that some of those they attract will still be around after this congress and the agency can stabilize once again. I guess it's also a neat kind of try-before-you-buy for both sides. NASA is prestigious and one of the very few places one could do purely…
They had these kinds of programs for a long time, but many of the engineers were vilified and the programs disbanded as soon as this administration took office. I'm not sure why someone would sign up to work for a government that has no respect for its employees (or a company for that matter) if they already have gainful employment. In fact, a bunch of NASA labs were recently closed where folks with this exact skills…

#178"We fired all of our employees. Now we're hiring temporary consultants."
It's the same hiring process for regular government jobs with references to standard pay scales. So I don't think so.

GP was discussing the overall name “nasa force”, not the wording of the job postings

Well... the TSA was a jobs program for people who couldn't or didn't want to get jobs as cops. Stennis (Space Flight Center) is a jobs program for Aero Engineering grads to keep them from going to work in Europe or India. Who knows... we might need them to design newer expensive missile systems sometime. There are all these 30-60 year old engineers who look like they should be good hires on paper, but the tech econom…
> I wrote code and passed it off to a dev in India to check in (US engineers weren't allowed to check in code.) ...usually it's the other way around. May I ask what the situation was? Reverse-outsourcing by the Indian central government?
Not OP. Sounds like he was considered to be a manager and wasn't allowed to get into the weeds. So instead of just managing the off shore team, he wrote some of the code for them and then let them take credit for it.
