Tcl's first "release" was in 1988 and Magic was released in 1984, but it seems like John Ousterhout then wrote Tcl to have a common interface across tools [https://web.stanford.edu/~ouster/cgi-bin/tclHistory.php]. It still is a big thing in EDA, because (in theory) it lets a chip designer run their designs by tools from different vendors
BYD are just affordable and maybe reliable, regarding maintenance their spares are hard to come by and are almost as hard to work with as Tesla and other brands.
I've done plenty of work on my own Tesla. It's not hard to work on at all. Parts are not even very difficult. There are plenty of 3rd party shops (such as one I went to when I needed to replace my windshield.) I really wonder why people continue to think this. It's not 2016 any more.
Tesla body work is extremely expensive. Aluminum, extensive welding instead of fasteners, substantially reduced modularity due to castings, specialized tooling just off the top of my mind.
Body work is expensive no matter what car you're working on. The presence of paint ensures it. The OP was talking about "maintenance" and body work doesn't fall under that category.
No, but I live in a country were Chinese cars have been sold since the 2010s and spare parts are still an issue. It might be an issue with their sales partners here, but many sell other brands from Korea and Japan and have no issues with them.
I worked at HP as an intern during the saga. I even got to attend a training by the Palm team... Which wasn't great.
My impression just from that training is that WebOs was extremely mismanaged. The training was billed as a "how to write apps for WebOs" and it instead was an hour long meander by the Palm employee about how different the company culture is and how hard it became to do anything.
I had the distinct impression they didn't even know that the training was supposed to be before being assigned to do it.
I think that's indicative of everything. HP had this product that they were trying to shoehorn into the most bizarre places. At it's core it was a mobile Linux os which used html/css/JavaScript as the main user experience engine. And HP was trying to put that on printers and rack mount displays. The one place they didn't seem to care putting it was the mobile devices it was designed to target. They simply half assed the launch of a product.
On a related note, if you studied and got a degree at a university, check if they have an alumni program. I pay a small yearly fee that lets me access the university's academic databases and their VPN, so I get some other perks as it looks like I'm connected through eduroam.
I never once submitted an assignment on a course with TurnitIn turned on, it makes you agree to their terms of service, which I disagree with and I'd just sed my work to the teacher through email, explaining what was my issue with TurnitIn, and most times they'd just turn it off, which I think speaks loads about that "tool".
The card you might have paid with is though. I can’t remember any instances of a card hack revealing transactions of customers though (I might be wrong, just doesn’t ring a bell).
It’s not a given that digital record must lead to compromise.
Not really, that would probably be the north of Chile on the Atacama desert, there's a reason why the Extremely Large Telescope, Giant Magellan Telescope and Vera C. Rubin are being built there.
Watching this footage of the Very Large Telescope in Chile was the first time I really grasped that we're all together on a rock tumbling through the vastness of space: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFpeM3fxJoQ
It wouldn't give you the bombastic views you are used to from press realeases.
Those are all longer exposure, at different wavelengths, stitched together digitally.
With your bare eye in the focal point of that thing you'd just see Jupiter and some of its moons, the Rings of Saturn, some extrasolar nebulae and some galaxies better than with common amateur telesecopes. Otherwise just more and brighter stars, with some more hints of color.
You'd have more immersion by using binoculars with a wide field of view, and low magnification, like 10 to 20, maybe 30 times. But the latter with a wide field of view are rather heavy, so bring a foldable camping chair to lie down on, and some contraption to have the binoc hanging down on you, easily movable, but not shaky. Or a tripod, but they are impractical for looking straight up. (with common binocular eye-pieces)
Pretty sure you can rent telescope time it's just booked so you might have to wait.
You can still go physically, there's tours and such. But it doesn't make sense for a physicist to go there when all the imagery is captured by a computer anyway.
Also, if you've been to those altitudes you know it's not a walk in the park either!
There are plenty of remote telescope services you can make use of. The one at http://telescope.live/ is probably one of the best known in the astrophotography communities I am a member of, but there are many others.
Another thing I figure they might be trying is anticipate suicides, so they can stop them before they happen. But it's probably just to sell you a grimace shake or whatever.
