Most were expected, when pushing the rocket to its limits to see where it would fail.

> the company achieved two sub-orbital missions for its monster rocket - impressive, but still more than 200,000 miles (322,000 km) from the Moon.

The test flights are suborbital due to FAA licensing requirements until they are ready to test returning to the launch tower. The role of Starship lander version in Artemis is not to directly launch to the Moon, but act as a shuttle between an orbiting vessel around the Moon and the surface of the Moon. So the comparison in miles is non-sensical.

> Acting Administrator Sean Duffy said the company was "behind schedule"

SpaceX is planning to test orbital refueling in 2026. It was originally scheduled for late summer of 2025, so not late with more than a couple of months. It is certainly not the slowest cog in the system. Now, it is scheduled for 2027, and SpaceX will likely test in H1 of 2026.

> Elon Musk, the boss of SpaceX, fired back: "SpaceX is moving like lightning compared to the rest of the space industry. Moreover, Starship will end up doing the whole Moon mission. Mark my words."

SpaceX can completely drop out of the Artemis program and still bring astronauts to the moon earlier than Artemis.

There are also delays with Boeing, Axiom, Lockheed Martin (and Blue Origin although for a different mission).

I've created a very rudimentary bash tool for extracting todos out of markdown (GFM) files. People might like it and contribute: https://github.com/hkdobrev/notetaker

Please update the navigation links at the top to at least point to the correct sections of the page.

I had a bunch of those whenever I tried to use OLX - both on OLX messages and Whatsapp as well. Bot prevention is 0. I know people who were successfully scammed as they think they are entering their card details to get money transferred by their card number.

Hi! Author here.

I keep stumbling on teams who are losing time to realise an issue they are experiencing while developing is because there's a new dependency or a migration has to be run on that branch or after pulling new code.

run-if-changed allows you to configure a script to be run when a file is changed by switching a branch or pulling new code using Git hooks.

I'm looking for more use cases and contributors.

What are some of your pain points when developing in a team? Is there something in your build which is annoying you when you check out another branch?

humans.txt [1] could be an approach for this.

When Starship starts launching customer satellites, it's possible that even the price for customers would be cheap enough to launch and maintain a LEO constellation. But competing requires massive innovation in cheap and fast production of satellites which are very energy efficient and highly capable. Especially, the technology for starshield protecting against cyber warfare in space and the direct to cell capability. This would be the main reason for not emerging a viable competitor for some time. SpaceX has innovation advantage in the satellites, manufacturing, dishes, base stations, software apart from the launch capability.

they have at least extended the number of items being loaded when you click more from 50 to 150 in the preview

https://www.youtube.com/tv used to be this, but they closed it down.

Many misleading statements here:

1. Semi is not dependent on 4680 batteries. And that's still a minority of the battery mix they use. 4680 form factor is still limited to Cybertruck and some Model Y production.

2. Semi has been in initial and testing production, only selling to customers close to the factories and engineers so they could service them quickly, learn and adapt new models.

3. More new Semi trucks have been recently delivered to Pepsi and internally to Tesla.

4. "On track" compared to previous released information from last few quarters.

Semi is still a small part of the business and not as prioritised as it takes a lot to develop a new program for big trucks when the company hasn't been in that niche before. At the same time they are developing various charging solutions with customers and on their routes before they rollout. Still learning from customers and drivers what is the best utilisation for these products.

Also, the "Get started" button on the free plan goes to book a call instead of signing up.

On pricing page for annual pricing, there's a dot in the free plan "Free." There's no dot anywhere on the plans including on the monthly "Free" plan. What does the dot give you if you "pay" annually on the free plan? :D

The source link at the top of the article leads to a 404.

The bridge could temporarily lift just the 2 ends and traffic could continue slowly under the bridge while the bridge moves ahead. However, it needs to also raise its height for trucks to pass under or alternatively, trucks could be temporarily suspended/rerouted from the road while the bridge moves.

As a previous occasional user of Calendly I couldn't justify the cost of the ongoing monthly subscription for a simpler version of it which is set up and forget. Cal.com seems built with a better plug-in foundations and it's free for individuals with open-source code and open development process. What's not to like?

It seems this hypothesis has been dismissed: https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-22355515 https://www.livescience.com/29130-toba-supervolcano-effects....

That's squashing which could be achieved with rebasing, but rebasing is larger than that which allows you to order and edit your history.

This works like this for uncommitted files, because `git reset --hard` would try to remove any files it knows about. After staging the file, even if you just do it with `git add --intent-to-add`, git would already _know_ about this file.

And then, it seems you expected to be able to run a command which would undo your previous command of staging the file. However, git-reset was never meant to do that. You might argue, it's not aptly named.

git-reset tries to reset the files it knows about to the state in the supplied ref or HEAD. After you told git about a file, it tries to control it even if it's not persisted in its internal objects.

This is true in git for various plumbing and porcelain commands.

On whether that's surprising or not - _it might be_ to people new to git, but as a whole git CLI is not that welcoming to newcomers.

From the homepage and the examples after signing up, I don't get if you are able to create one event which would be recurring and trigger a webhook every week/month/year etc. or is that not possible yet?

The SEC filing shows there's now a commitment to provide that equity investment. Elon Musk has formed a Delaware corporation which investors could invest into to provide the money behind the "Equity Financing". The article does not confirm your point and your top comment is misleading.

I was sick of all these services and apps with proprietary formats as well and starting writing markdown files organised in folders.

I've started a simple Bash utility for organising, searching notes and extracting TODOs out of them: https://github.com/hkdobrev/notetaker

I'd be glad if someone finds it useful.

See the snake game on the website.

Where is Minesweeper example? :-D

It seems that Tesla is using the popularity of Bitcoin to prove the concept while making a lot of money and then they can switch to Dogecoin propping its price up.

Bitcoin is not a regulated market and the SEC cannot interfere because of this. Someone might sue in civil court I guess.

It's not market manipulation in the strict legal sense, more so in the moral sense.

The actual flight is purchased with the Dogecoin currency.

Please don't use "zero" and "vulnerability" in the same sentence, unless you mean a zero-day one. The author could have said "no click vulnerability" with the same meaning. Almost caused me a concern with that title! :D :D
