> Interestingly, we observe that the Starlink OWD (one-way delay) often noticeably shifts at interval points that occur at 15 s increments. Further investigation reveals the cause to be the Starlink reconfiguration interval, which, as reported in FCC filings [71], is the time-step at which the satellite paths are reallocated to the users.
AFAIK it is not the dish itself that does the tracking but a central orchestration.

As an added bonus, I get to relive my trip a few weeks later when I get my films back from the lab.
I have to add that I don't think any of my films were ever destroyed by an airport scanner.
One reason given is this:
> Assuming the OSS projects aren't a conflict of interest
Apple is so secretive even internally that you can never guarantee whatever you're working on in your free time does not conflict what someone at Apple is working on secretly.
IIRC that's why Rosetta2 exists. The question is more whether there are issues despite that

> maximalism: our homes should be places full of stuff that sparks joy!
I'm no expert on interior design but that seems to be the same thing. Minimalism was co-opted by the very consumerism it initially criticized, with corporations telling us that we need more (white, square, lifeless) stuff. If your room only has a ornamental bed your inherited from your great-grandparents and a thrifted wardrobe in it, i would still consider that minimalist
Beautiful piece, but that's hardly the whole story. Nature doesn't care about climate change and it couldn't care less about us. Sure, it might kill all the birds, trees, landscapes, but our planet will adapt. We, humans, won't be able to. What we're destroying is our own future, both the beauty in the world and the environment we live in.
> The difference of an attribute value between any group of individuals in the objective world is usually in the same order of magnitude as the absolute value of an individual attribute. For example, one adult weighs 100 pounds, and the difference between a very fat man and a very thin man is also 100 pounds. Similarly, the weight of an ant is in grams, and the difference between a big ant and a small ant is also in grams. Of course, these are not strictly proven conclusions.
This seems... peculiar?
Yet also (Acknowledgements):

I've used Firecracker for a project last year and I highly recommend it. Building kernels and filesystems seemed daunting at first (esp. compared to how easy getting started with Docker is) but it's not that hard once you understand the basic concepts.
paulfurtado in this comment section mentioned UPX[0] as a way to get binaries even smaller. Funnily enough UPX even managed to decrease the size of the asmttpd web server for me:
### build stage ###
FROM ubuntu:18.04 as builder
RUN apt update
RUN apt install -y make yasm as31 nasm binutils git
RUN git clone https://github.com/nemasu/asmttpd.git asmttpd
RUN mv asmttpd/* .
RUN rm -rd asmttpd
RUN make release
# i have the upx binary on my machine in this case
COPY ./upx-3.96-amd64_linux/upx upx
RUN ./upx --brute asmttpd
### run stage ###
FROM scratch
COPY --from=builder /asmttpd /asmttpd
COPY ./index.html /web_root/index.html
CMD ["/asmttpd", "/web_root", "8080"]
With a 4 byte index.html my total image size is now 5.3kB! package main
import (
"fmt"
)

func main() {
fmt.Println("%v", tst)
}

Then I can offer my VMs to use their tap gateway (which is the Ubuntu host) as a DNS server if they want, and that will resolve my custom TLD and forward all other stuff to its own nameserver. Or, if the user wants, they can also do their own stuff.
It seems that a lot has happened with systemd-resolve in the last few months.
However, when it comes to buying a TV for your conference room where you have a TV running 12hrs/day (when you're not a small startup with 10ppl), invest in a proper commercial TV like NEC or (my personal favorite brand) iiyama: 1) the're dumb TVs from the start, 2) you get proper warranties and support, 3) you can get larger TVs without 4K HDR (which your computer may not support anyway), 4) the color grading is more apt for your PowerPoint slides, etc and finally, 5) these panels are actually rated for that kind of use and won't break after a few weeks. From my experience building conference rooms, that investment is actually worth it
The basic idea of the app is that cyclist record their bike rides through the city and accelerometer data is used to report dangerous situations (e.g. a car crossing a cycle lane without regards for the cyclists). It turns out that this accelerometer data can also be used to check the cycle path quality. Some cities respond well to the idea while others just ignore the problem

This is actively being worked on in the research community, excited to see if it comes to fruition.
