This slightly tilted view of the poles is a teaser. I didn't know they'd managed to incorporate late in the mission gravity assists into the cheaper plan B to slightly tweak out of the ecliptic while dropping close to the sun. That's pretty cool. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/66/Animatio...
But we could've had so much more. The original proposal A for the ESA Solar Orbiter was a highly inclined orbit relative to the ecliptic plane to truly get full polar views of the sun. But this was too expensive. So they went with the cheaper proposal B which was mostly just a spectroscopic platform. Similar to SDO AIA, except in a solar orbit (almost completely within the ecliptic plane) instead of SDO AIA's Earth based sun synchronous orbit.
It does, but most of the needed dV is harvested from the planets during gravity assists. The probe is accelerated/turned several hundred or thousand m/s and in exchange the planets it passes are shifted/slowed/turned by maybe 0.00000000000000000000001 m/s. In this case, the probe largely needs to slow down, to bleed of the speed it got from being at earth's orbit, so the planets are probably being accelerated.
The biggest problem with the Rust compiler is not it's speed in compiling. It's that rustc from 3 months ago can't compile most Rust code written today. And don't tell me that cargo versioning fixes this, it doesn't. The very improvements we are celebrating here, which are very real and appreciated, are part of this problem. Rust is young and Rust changes very, very fast. I think it'll be a great language in a decade when it's no longer just used by bleeding edge types and has a target that stands still for more than a few months.
When I first started doing microstrip RF distributed elements like UHF notch filters I was really confused by the results I was getting from my $400 pocketVNA. The microstrip filters worked when I had them in my physical RF pipeline but the S11 I was measuring was crazy. Eventually I gave up.
One day while complaining on IRC someone suggested I let the VNA warm up before doing the calibration routine. I'd just been doing it right after turning it on because naturally, that's what was required first. I waited 15 minutes and then did the calibration. Suddenly the S11 plots actually matched the behavior and I could compare directly against the sonnet fullwave sim design instead of just "it seems to work".
I share the vast majority of my uploaded videos with friends and peers on IRC by directly giving them the link, so no problem.
Video hosting should not be tied to profit motives. If that's your thing, if your job is making videos to sell things or display ads, then yes, you're gonna need Alphabet's Google's Youtube or some similar megacorp to handle money transfers and for network effect.
If you're like 99% of the rest of us on Earth then a static .mp4 file with -movflags +faststart is great and satisfies all needs.
You don't even need HTML. Encoded as an mp4 with ffmpeg -movflags +faststart and you now have a mp4 that almost all browsers can use the seek bar within without any sort of javascript or HTML. Streaming without all the complexity of 'streaming'. Just a simple static .mp4 file on a webserver.
Let's not adopt the newspeak of the megacorps here. The actual headline is,
"Google Restricts Android Application Installation–What It Means for User Autonomy and Freedom"
The idea that you're not allowed to install any application without it coming directly from $megacorp is the new wierd thing. The idea of installing applications yourself on your computer is well established and normal.
"Sideloading" is a dangerous word that implicitly gives up freedoms. It should not be used.
Actually in computers, there are also „safeward“ criping in…
It is imperative to avoid the term. It is just installing sw in the device you pay and own. I do not want any big-(brother)-tech protecting me. At most I would find ok if there is a config option, so I can set it to my parents, but no more than that.
yeah lets create new language for the average computer user already fatigued by the garbage being produced by the entire computer industry, this will be the only thing that works!!!! haha u guyz
reminds me of talking with libertarians (I forget whether big L or little l but whatever), before you can even engage then in discussions you have to learn their terminology, "taxes" is not a word, its "theft". being a regular citizen is "enslavement."
One mental strategy I like when debating an issue is to see how my argument looks using normal terms. Heck if I have spare time and am bored, I'll even reframe arguments in my debate partners terms if they're one of "those" but thats just something done for amusement, like trying to rewrite linux in brainfuck, in theory its possible but its not how you normally want to do things.
Based on my quick skimming it's mostly a mathematical writing with modeling of the oscillators one might find in biology like neuronal populations, or gene expression based clocks, or calcium waves through gap junctions in the heart, etc. It does not seem to be pseudo science like the linked wikipedia article. But it's not down in the weeds biology either, it's abstract.
If anyone else is having trouble with their hosted "App to read (PDF)" that's not actually a pdf, the 1988 first edition pdf of the book is on libgen. If you don't know what libgen is or how to get there wikipedia will tell you.
A python dependency manager manager manager. Truly we live in an age of unprecedented code abstraction and complexity. And I love that you install and manage wetlands itself with pip. An ouroboros matrioska of code.
