Depends on what you're working on and on if you're defining "getting stuff done" on a macro or micro scale. For large flagship missions, 2 years is nothing. The scale of work and level of verification required by these projects is massive and takes time. You've only got one shot to get things right with billions of dollars on the line, don't rush it.

Yes, it's a ridiculous claim. HSPC has been in the works for several years now, and is ran thru JPL which is completely unaffiliated with Artemis.

I have not seen any indication that private messages are included in this. As the person indicates, phone numbers are only included if they were posted on Parler by the users themselves, but yes from what I can tell the IDs are the most "private" part of the leak. Although one could argue that they are still "public" given that Parler publicly exposed the information.

Curious as to how you would define this as doxxing? The information contained in this "hack" is just an archival of all publicly-posted information on Parler, it is comparable to someone archiving my LinkedIn page and calling it doxxing.

Everything that was "hacked" is just publicly-available information on Parler that was archived: https://twitter.com/donk_enby/status/1348666166978424832

Yep! It was originally supposed to be the full logo but that got vetoed

It's just a simple fact of polling. Your conclusion also completely ignores the influence of money and lobbying in setting party platform and policy.

To be fair, I believe the controversy began with disagreements over the previous maintainer's use of unsafe and spiraled from there. So not entirely non-technical.

In addition to what AnimalMuppet said (fixed bounds on loops), you also have to be careful to avoid blowing the stack with limited memory + lots of running processes

Thank you Salvatore! You have been an inspiration to me as a young programmer and have opened my eyes to the wonders of OSS. Excited to see whatever you do next!

Can confirm, I was taught MIPS assembly in a computer architecture course as recently as 2 years ago.

I'm not sure what FedRAMP is but I work at an FFRDC and Slack is explicitly banned for all ITAR materials. Mattermost is used, though

Not a lander but NASA has 2 potential Venus missions in their proposed Discovery missions! [0]

In regards to why not a lander: I would guess it's because it's not really necessary? Orbiters (like the proposed ones above) can gather all of the science that's really necessary to study a planet like Venus. Landers are useful to study more micro-scale science to, for example, search for life (see the Mars rovers/landers and the proposed Europa lander). And orbiters are significantly cheaper and easier to make. Landing on Mars is really really really hard! I can assume it would only be harder on Venus.

I can testify first-hand that the "functions in a single page" and "avoid the pre-processor" rules are not followed very closely haha

I can't imagine that they skipped testing altogether. It seems much more likely that it was just very poor testing that managed to completely skirt the issue

It's had quite a few NAND-related issues over its time.

Yes, I figured I probably wasn't clear enough. I agree with the points in the article but I'm referring to a different situation. For example, the one that kills me every morning is where the 101 S turns into the 134, there are 2 dedicated lanes for the 134 on-ramp (so no zipper merge) but people wait until the last possible minute to force their way into the dedicated lanes and clog both those and the surrounding ones. Similar situation where the 170 S hits the 134.

Another thing I'd be interested in seeing modeled are the people who squeeze into an exit lane at the very last minute. I've only ever commuted in the LA area but it's one of the biggest contributors to traffic by the freeway interchanges.

I can write code when I'm listening to music perfectly fine but as soon as I need to document anything, like a docstring, informative comment, etc. I need to pause the music, my brain just shuts down as soon as it needs to switch to writing English.

Could you elaborate on what it means to "use memory like tape"?

Haven't seen anyone mention it, but NASA JPL and the Indian Space Agency are collaborating on the NISAR mission [0].

Also in SoCal and I've noticed Google Maps has really regressed, I've gotten a ton of "faster route available" prompts that lead to significantly slower routes when on the 405 and 10.

Wow. I regularly get repeated "e" keypresses and for the longest time just assumed I was getting worse at typing (even though it was only "e"...). Glad to see it's an actual thing and I'm not crazy. Yes I probably should've Googled it but it wasn't that much of a nuisance

Just to tack on with some more typographic constructive criticism (although I think the font size looks fine on my laptop), you should definitely increase the line-height of the paragraphs.

Love the idea! Does anyone have a similar list for a more chaparral-type climate like in Southern California?

This, and everything else in the #plottertwitter hashtag, seems super cool. Are there any good resources for exploring this space and getting into it?

I don't think they're trying to argue that Uber and Lyft created LA traffic but I would agree that their arrival put more cars on the roads. There's a huge market of people who are willing to pay a little extra to avoid the hassle of LA public transportation and considering that, in general, people Uber to busy places (LAX, downtown, etc.), it's bringing more cars onto the already clogged roads that wouldn't be there otherwise.

+1 to HillRat's answer (especially hacking around in Codepen). On top of his, I want to plug the Mozilla Web Docs [0]. They're absolutely wonderful to reference for all your CSS needs, especially if you learn well from reading the docs. On top of that, they have excellent tutorials as well. I would consider checking out their one on CSS [1], you might find it easier to get through than an O'Reilly book.

A little unrelated but as someone who also loves their C++ and low-level programming I really enjoyed Lin Clark's articles on Firefox's Stylo [2] and WebRender [3], I think they do a great job of intuitively explaining the back-end behind CSS rendering, if that's of any interest to you.

+1 on the Qt docs. In my personal opinion, and as someone who's a read-the-docs-to-learn type, they are the best documentation I've come across yet.

CMake has fantastic support for Qt. Decided to add a Qt GUI to a personal project with an existing CMake build setup and the integration was very painless, just ~4 lines added. Finding the solution was a little tougher, however, since nearly all documentation assumes a QtCreator + qmake configuration.
