What an empty and depressing world it would be if that was true.

I think it is great that people point out LLM generated articles here on HN. Sadly, it feels like I am slowly loosing my skill to identify LLM speak. Maybe I am getting worn out of all LLM content... So, please, list the indicators and tell

I guess this just shows how divided the world is right now (in a lot of ways), but for me this sounds like one of the creepier episodes of Black Mirror or Twilight Zone.

It is still used for operations procedures in, at least, European space industry. E.g., in mission control systems from Terma (CCS5 and TSC).

I am pretty sure there are people here qualified enough to edit that Wikipedia page in a proper way.

An "explorative" hex editor where you can do "fuzzy" searches, e.g., searching for a header with specific values for certain fields. (I thought ImHex should be able to do this (and still think it might), but haven't

Then you are part of truly strange circles, among people who don’t understand human behavior.

Even though I do find your indifference refreshing I must say: it does matter for quite a few people.

Almost 16000 lines in a single source code file. I find this both admirable and unsettling.

Modern autogenerated C code from Simulink is rather effective. It is neither garbage nor spaghetti, it is just... peculiar.

Not my experience. I work with a -fno-exceptions codebase. Still quite a lot of std left. (Exceptions come with a surprisingly hefty binary size cost.)

Do you have some concrete or specific examples of intentional compensation or purposeful scaffolding in mind (outside the topic of the article)?

Yes. The LEON series of microprocessors is quite common in space industry. It is based on SPARC v8 and SPARC is big-endian. And also, yes, SPARC v8 is a 33 years old 32-bit architecture, in space we tend to stick to the trailing edge of tec

Also remember: Even though many of these articles/books/papers/etc. are good, even great, some of them are starting to get a bit old. When reading them, check what modern commentators are saying about them. E.g.: What every p

But even in LEO, there must be quite a few SEUs and resets?

I've always wondered how well these RPi based cubesats really work in space. Really hard to find out. Also, people (naturally) aren't always eager to talk about failed projects. Maybe some people here on HN have experiences to sha

Great project! Been using it for years together with VTS [1] to visualize real-time and propagated satellite positions and attitudes, and also star tracker and payload "beams". [1] https://timeloop.fr/vts/

Swish is great, but it is sensitive infrastructure. It has already been down multiple times due to DDoS attacks (together with BankId). Don't let Swish completely replace a stash of cash at home.

The same can be said about prints.

Yeah, look at that! Fourteenth edition. Then it stayed in print for more than 30 years. I guess earlier editions are even more expensive. A bit strange though. So many editions should mean there are quite a few in circulation and that they

It is becoming increasingly difficult to sell, or even give away, books. In Stockholm, Sweden, where I am most familiar with the situation, most charity second-hand stores no longer accept hardcover books at all. The monetary value of most

Most books are, sadly, quite worthless nowadays (monetary value). But the Tove Jansson illustrated, swedish edition of Bilbo is still a sought-after book that usually goes for hundreds of dollars. Here is an ongoing auction on Tradera (the

Sure. But if you don't have reliability at the network layer you don't have any chance to have a reliable transport layer.
