I have to disagree with both comments on this... That was my first thought as well. But looking at the screenshots in the Twitter post, it goes beyond design systems. Structurally, it's the same. Layout, it's the same. Purpose, it

I have two kids in it, one 11 year old boy and one 8 year old girl. The school we were in switched to Montessori 4 years ago. The younger loves it. The older very much dislikes the open nature of the school day and struggles to complete tas

I think two rockets landing at the same time, in unison, more accurately displays the fact both are under computer control. One landing could just be some person steering it. But two?

Personally, very excited to see this happening. Huge congrats! Some constructive criticism around naming... You don't have to have Flux in every single damn thing you create! InfluxDB IOx is not replacing InfluxDB v2 because... It&#x27

As a frequent Kroger customer, my immediate gut reaction was no way should this happen. But then looking further, how much geographic overlap is there between the two companies? Not much from my quick search. Certainly not in the area I liv

No explanation necessary. Anyone that has followed Atlassian in the news knows that downloading Jira Issues is an excellent idea!

I will say that back when Bugzilla was it, JIRA rocked. It was amazing the new power you had and the functionality it provided. We self-hostd JIRA from 2008ish to 2014ish. (memory is fading on exact dates) By the time we decided to stop usi

The worst part of all this is that clubhouse.io changed their name to some stupid thing that doesn't make any sense and they didn't need to. They could have just waited out the hype.

Well, they aren't completely down now either. Heroku Shield is up. Dashboard is up. EU is reported as up. As an aside, I spoke with our AE in early January on where they are going in dealing with AWS unreliability. One would think they

Ahh... were you sleeping in 2021? They went down in September, November, and December. Probably some other times earlier in the year as well. I stopped keeping track at how bad their service is because of how bad AWS's service is.

China's push for electrification of transportation is admirable and worth praising. But this article is vapid click bait with nothing backing up its headline. The manufacturing of cheap junk that doesn't meet safety or reliability

Yeah, this seems crazy that anyone would build a business on this. For those curious about their justification: https://rollout.io/blog/updating-apps-without-app-store/

I believe that it's very likely that SpaceX can recover the helium used during operation. The helium isn't expelled from the fuel tanks. Since the 1st stage returns, it could be recovered.

Reminds me of ZenDock, another failed kickstarter laptop dock. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/coleflournoy/zendock-th... Sounds like HydraDock might be handling it better than Cole Flournoy did, however.

Wings flex while in flight. Either the cells need to handle that stress or the wing needs to be super rigid. Neither is particularly easy to achieve.

I don't believe he was intending the plane to fly supersonic. Instead he was talking about using the design of the wings because they have a larger volume.

I have mentored two middle schoolers in an independent study using Codea. https://codea.io/ It's great for that immediate feedback loop when starting out. If you weren't using iOS, love2d is great, as well.

The forth paragraph in that link really sums up the difference for my poor brain: "One advantage of direct current over AC is that DC current penetrates the entire conductor as opposed to AC current which only penetrates to the so-call

I was initially confused by the statement that direct current has lower transmission losses over long distances. My recollection was that a big argument for AC over DC going back to Edison v Tesla was that DC required DC generation centers

One ULA reason for dropping out: "the Air Force used a procurement process that would give a lot of weight to the prices companies bid" That's hysterical! The gall of the Air Force to do such a thing!

What blows me away is comparing the acceleration of a fully loaded Falcon 9 and today's test. Obviously, the two are different and you know the acceleration will be different to escape a failure of the rocket. But to see something so

You don't need to obtain a permit to upgrade your countertops. I believe the only time that an upgrade could possibly increase the taxable value of your house is if the township/county knows about it (I.e., you got a permit to ins

That's funny. I immediately thought that this guy had a FEVER. And the only prescription was more AIRSHIP. But apparently there are two Bruce Dickinson's in music: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Dickinson
