Feels like we should be able to adapt the display rate to only refresh when there is a change. But apparently not. If I'm typing in a document at 10 letters per second, the screen should be refreshing every time I hit a button, and not in between.

That is a nasty unintended consequence. I wonder how you adjust the regulations to prevent this?

Not for 'free', but wouldn't there be some efficiency tradeoff of reducing throttling losses? If I understand correctly, there's no point in having a boosted intake pressure until your throttle is close to wide open. So you'd have most of the accelerator range where you could 'steal' some energy...

Mind so open the brain fell out...

Unless you are from another province, then you can get them free in Alberta.

I really hope that Backblaze keeps going. I've been a big fan for a long time.

That is a very cool video. You can see the launch base fire a little rocket to get itself out of the way.

You know, it might actually cause just as much trouble at 33ish hours? I wonder if they modeled that.

Might have changed last year, but wikipedia puts you at #5 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_natural_gas_exports But overall I agree. I'm in Canada at #6, and it seems like we throw a lot of cash at the fossil fuel industry for very little taxable returns.

I know that direct mechanical transmission is far more efficient. Less conversion losses. But that got me wondering, why don't locomotives use mechanical drives once they are up to speed? They seem like the perfect case for a single speed transmission to take over, cutting out the conversion losses.

Pretty sure the article repeatedly says that the VPN's encryption is never broken. It's completely ignored.

They specifically say "An exception was necessary for the DHCP and VPN server IPs because they are necessary to remain connected to the LAN and VPN server" in your quote. As in, the firewall rules don't prevent this, because they have an exception to keep connected to the LAN and VPN server...

"Conversion to a different form of energy" generally refers to changing between chemical/electrical/kinetic/whatever. The air pushing water is closer to a gear driving another gear, or maybe a gear driving a chain. I'm still of the opinion on this project that the water is being used to keep...

They don't call out the magic sauce for heat storage, but I happen to see a great big puddle of water that's been sitting out in the sun all day... If you can reject the heat into the water that's coming up out of the storage cavern (where it's presumably fairly cool), you can also pull heat...

Somebody needs to find more work for you Aurich. Free time in your hands is a leading cause of damage to the fabric of society.

That was one of the things that turned me off of Lost. It was like they were building up to reveal or explain things, then just said 'well fuck it'. Shit just happens for no reason, deal with it.

I'm surprised that there is not some sort of sump system in the flame trench, just for handling regular rainfall and seepage. They must have some other system to drain it out after launches where the deluge dumps all that water in.

It's not just Intel socketed motherboards going off the deep end either. I've got a 5800x that the default motherboard settings were pretty much 'turn it all to 11'. I only started digging because the cpu fan was loud when it ramped up, and it seemed to ramp up for just about anything other than...

And really, as long as the process yields memory when the operating system indicates that it's under memory pressure, who cares? The ram is there to be used. Empty ram doesn't help anything. Fill it with whatever might have the slightest performance boost. Cache files that might be needed. Save...

Looked like the cargo door failed completely, would that be enough to make it uncontrollable in atmosphere? Or if the opening was facing the plasma, you'd pressurize/plasma fill the cargo section till it tore apart?
