What's the plan for preventing the statically charged, microabrasive lunar dust from destroying every piece of unshielded equipment?

Yes, they are, and that's precisely why we use computers and deterministic code for many tasks instead of people.

What for? What exactly is gained by having "more visualization"? Gentle reminder that this isn't a new idea either. Remember UML diagrams? Id do, mostly for how useless they were when it came to actually doing good architectu

Alright, lets compare expenditures. The LHC cost around 4.75 bn (initial estimate) to construct. Let's be generous and add quite some buffer, to a solid 6bn. The project has been in operation since 2010. Lets assume operational cost of

If this is the goal, then please tell me how the tool achieves it: What exactly is simpler to manage or deploy by using `viking` as opposed to ssh-config and ssh, and in what regard is it simpler?

That's why ssh config allows setting up alias names for servers.

by usrbinbash 2y ago
Someone please define "reasonable playable state". Because, for something like an MMORPG, "playable" means being able to run a server. So, what does "playable" entail? Source and internal sysops documentation?
