Very well written and well thought out comment. It gave me a new perspective on the traditional conception of partisan politics.

If you’re looking for something more lightweight in between vanilla GDB and a full GUI frontend, I would highly recommend GDB Dashboard: https://github.com/cyrus-and/gdb-dashboard It’s just a single file (replaces your

Love the idea. Please try to add Madcap ( https://madcapcoffee.com/ ) to your list of coffee producers; they are one of the best coffee roasters in the US, in my opinion. They already have a traditional subscription model tha

Magical is truly the word to describe Docopt. I use it for all Python code I write and have also used the C and C++ variants. I would highly recommend Docopt to anyone writing command-line utilities.

I'd love to hear more about this. Could you expand on how you measure your insulin response and as a result how you avoid erratic energy levels?

As one of the engineers affected by this (Goddard Space Flight Center) I could not disagree with you more strongly.

I really like the concept. One small improvement I would recommend is to allow cards to be swiped in any direction, specifically up or down. Depending on how you are holding your device, it can feel more natural to swipe up to discard, for

Not only that, but it took a solid minute of frustrated tapping to successfully hit the 'I agree' checkbox. Using chrome on iOS.

Did you reply to the wrong comment? I certainly never suggested they shouldn't be learning math or that the program was a bad idea.

It is quite fascinating to imagine inmates passing their handwritten Vigenère encrypted secrets using Diffie-Hellman key exchange.

Yeah, that's more correct

Turns out we are funded. PACE may be funded as well actually, but there's no clear indication either way. I was at the all-hands a few weeks ago where it seemed to be a bit more grim but lately there has been some talk of PACE survivin

Agreed. Most major satellites are now designed with potential reservicing in mind, at least to some degree.

by gibsjose 9y ago
While it's not entirely impossible that some classified mission has done some basic reservicing of a DoD bird, I know from working on Restore-L that we will be the first ever to do what we are doing, namely autonomous rendezvous and ca

by gibsjose 9y ago
Refueling satellites will absolutely be a thing :) Restore-L is going to do just that in 2020-2021, and do it autonomously to boot. I work on Restore-L and believe me, there is a huge need for on-orbit satellite refueling and reservicing. T

Yeah, the SSPD (NASA office behind Restore-L) started with the Hubble reservicing missions

On-orbit satellite servicing and refueling has not been performed as of yet, but we are currently working on it: https://sspd.gsfc.nasa.gov/restore-l.html

I was rejected from Google when I first graduated from college. Now I work at NASA and I'm very thankful I didn't get that job. Saying that the hiring process is flawed isn't the same thing as saying everyone is special and

There was a time when we weren't exactly sure which client we were going to refuel, but as far as we know, it will be Landsat-7. I believe NRL and possibly others are working on reservicing more "hush-hush" clients, but I can

My group's mission at NASA is highly related: https://sspd.gsfc.nasa.gov/restore-l.html We're going for LEO reservicing. It's quite a challenging mission, especially since our client was never meant to be re

I'm curious to see the data collected on guesses. Some were quite difficult to guess, like hashes per second with bcrypt not knowing the cost factor, but I guess we can assume some sane default. I would have really liked to see all the

This is right up there with \usepackage{amsmath} as a truly must-have package for any real scientific paper.

Haha I'm at GSFC so I'm somewhere in between, but we still have to deal with 95/495 traffic, which is a real drag.

You certainly have a point, and I definitely was generalizing. My social circles consist mostly of international folks who work in various agencies and laboratories, and a few who work in private industry. My biggest fault with DC (and most

Although I don't think this is feasible or even necessarily the right thing to do, I personally am dying to go back to the Midwest. Coming from beautiful, friendly, cold Northern Michigan, I'd be ecstatic to get out of the DC area

While this seems mainly useful as an academic exercise, the `printf "#include <unistd.h>" | gcc -E - | grep size_t` bit to easily grep in header files was worth the read.

Second this. It showed up as Times and I almost dismissed it entirely. May I suggest 'Menlo' as a backup?
