This is great, but I'd like to see oauth support. I'm a bit hesitant to enter my credentials for other Lemmy instances on a site that is proxying them.
After 6 months of testing different diets to try to solve my migraines, I eventually discovered an ultra-low histamine diet resulted in a ~90% decrease in my headaches. Then I began trying different DAO products before eating foods with histamine, but the headaches returned. I eventually discovered NaturDAO (available via Amazon) and its much higher 1,000,000 HDU per pill. Taking two of these before any meal or coffee finally worked to stop the food-induced migraines for me. Hope this helps.
One crucial item is not listed - weather. For people who migrate from all over the world, including places with even better weather, CA weather is a happy compromise. It is sunny for much of the year, there is rain in the spring months, the air is dry, and temperatures rarely swing to extremes.
Virginia certainly doesn't have that.
What's VA's stance on enforcing non-compete agreements? This seemingly innocuous thing really accounts for a lot of the Bay Area's success. Innovative, fabulously successful companies have been repeatedly founded and nurtured here because of the cross-pollination of ideas and competition engendered by CA's refusal to honor non-competes.
VA has a couple things going for it, as far as I can tell:
- Plentiful network connectivity and data centers (many east-coast data centers are sited in a couple spots in VA).
- A large government sector, including many agencies that are tasked with technical work for the federal government, and the educated workforce that goes with it. Perhaps it's a double-edged sword: the region is a bit too dependent on Government largesse. What is interesting is that most no-one talks about how the Federal Government has played an outsize role in nurturing nascent technology innovations and companies (via government contracts and outright funding via In-Q-Tel and such) in the Bay Area. It goes very much against the current ethos of employee activism against DoD projects. In this respect, the Bay Area and VA share a similarity.
Ah, yes. I kind of looked over that engine. Oops...
I overlooked it mostly because the Merlin engine uses RP-1, and therefore has limited reuse life due to soot buildup in the engine (unless they've solved that problem). I also suspect that the Merlin engine only has limited time left as (when) SpaceX transitions to Starship.
> Tried 5 dongles, none can hold a drive reliably under heavy use
This is something I've had a problem with as well on my late 2016 13" MBP, 2 usb-c port model. I have two external drives that I sync via rsync occasionally (1 local, 1 offsite). No matter what type of dongle I use, one of the disks always ejects shortly after beginning the rsync. Even with the Apple dongle, when I plug in one of the external disks via usb-a, and plug my usb-c power to the dongle, then plug in the 2nd external disk directly to the only other usb-c on the mac, it fails every time.
What I have been doing instead is unplugging the power cord and syncing the disks while running on battery. This seems to work, but the odd thing here is that about 50% of the time when I do this I lose my wifi connection as soon as I begin the rsync from disk to disk. Nothing I can do makes the network work again until after I unmount the external disks.
Having only two ports on the computer, one of which is also used for power, has turned out to be far more annoying than I imagined.
Hurley is going to be the "Spacecraft Commander" as mentioned in the article. The parent comment also indicates that they will be bringing the flag/memorial/token back. I'm not sure what "large implicit assumptions" you are referring too.
He means that flight or its currently designated commander may not make it to the ISS for various reasons.
I don't think those are "large" assumptions, they're pretty standard things that can go wrong with every flight. Not that useful to have to enumerate them every time anyone talks about spaceflight.
- mission not being scrubbed for a variety of possible reasons
- mission commander not being changed
- rocket not blowing up on the pad
- rocket reaching correct orbit
- mission not being completed, for instance docking issues
- everything that could possibly go wrong on the return flight
Really, the ease with which everybody seems to assume that this will go off without a hitch is impressive, this is not exactly walking to the corner store to pick up a small parcel.
Friend: I'm going to grab more drinks from the store
You: There are several very large assumptions implicit in that sentence
Friend: ?
You: Your car can break down, you can get in an accident on the way there, the store can be robbed and you can get shot, you may get a call about your parents dying on the way, a meteor may strike and kills us all...
Why do you assume people assumed that? I mean, these are things that apply to every human spaceflight on any rocket in any country.
Imagine if anytime anyone spoke about spaceflight, they saw fit to include a giant disclaimer of everything that could go wrong. We'd all just end up sounding like drug commercials.
And Ed Harris as Jack Poindexter, the veteran radio officer, already retired from field service, volunteering for one last trip (and telling his wife on the phone he'll be late for dinner).
I've got a late 2016 MBP and the right command key does not register about 1/10 of the time I press it. I use that key a lot. I'm taking it to the Apple Store tomorrow to see what they say about it.
I have a late 2017 MBP and the left command key does not register about 2/3 of the time unless you press it in exactly the right spot. We've cancelled all current/future MacBook Pro orders due to problems with the keyboard.
