Interestingly, I found that the record for the Soyuz capsule is around 3 hours, as they prefer much more direct paths.

Doing a bit of napkin math, it looks like this Soyuz mission made only 2 full orbits; this mission making ~5.

This seems like an incredibly large codebase. Did you use an existing RTOS or something similar for this product, or was this all hand rolled?

It's quite a feat to see a trend towards predictable content that came from "second screen-ability", committees, laying off writers, large mergers, less money for indies, and walk away with this and go yeah it's woke that's destroying this. And to have zero data backing this claim up.

And we have this underlying assumption that no one of the left has ever wanted this sort of representation, is just a massive straw-man for this entire argument.

Yeah and honestly, it shouldn't be. It was really strange going back to the U.S and having family members suggest we drive to get ice cream. It's incredibly wasteful.

That being said, I've noticed that these takeout meals tend to be pretty low quality and unhealthy and I miss this middle ground that I could lean on once or twice a week.

I mean there are exceptions in cities with a higher immigrant presence like Berlin, but for a lot of Germany you're simply looking at low quality kebab, pizza, or burgers.

There also seems to be this general perception of food in the U.S being so bad, this is true for areas that are strongly lacking access, i.e inner cities, rural areas (much of the country to be fair!), but if you're in an agricultural hub in the U.S you can have absolutely incredible access to farmers markets and fresh produce. A lot of regional grocery stores have fresh sourdough and other breads similar in quality to the stuff you can find at Lidl/Aldi/Edeka.

As someone who moved from the U.S to Germany and has been here for ~15 months, I figured I would drop a few comments while I'm running a NixOS rebuild.

Let me start with the wonderful things: Public transportation is nice, at least compared to the U.S. I like the shared sense of responsibility that Germans have with things like recycling. The directness is quite nice, in the U.S I often had to question if someone was being genuine or not, and that is not really a problem here. If you're into various hobbies, clubs, etc., Germany has really incredible communities and clubs for so many things, and they're very organized about this, it's quite nice. The nature is great, and I've really enjoyed exploring different areas.

As for the negatives, it's clear in Germany that you're looking at buying into their system, for life so to speak. You don't find yourself getting equity, trading stocks, buying a home, etc. You generally are expected to work, keep your head down, and hopefully acquire an apartment where the rent won't increase while you support the social system (for the record, I am more than okay with paying my share, but I was shocked at the difference in take home pay, and particularly how it feels compared to the U.S). Buying a home is likely not going to be in the cards for most, and there is so much paperwork, painful and expensive driving courses, and strange decisions as well with starting your own business. I have for instance a few projects where I could be taking revenue, but I specifically am not as it would make my visa situation more complicated, and am instead waiting for a year or two.

Germany is really not a convenience culture, I consistently find myself exhausted. This might sound stupid, but in the U.S, I can simply hop in a car and grab a reasonably healthy Chipotle bowl or similar, get enough protein and vegetables, etc. In Germany, there really are not so many places for quick food to grab, in general the food is actually quite poor, I don't find myself eating out at all.

Additionally, the language is brutal, it's hard to explain just how exhausting it is to learn while you're working full time. I have probably spent ~600 hours practicing yet I am still only about an A2 speaking level, with my understanding generally being a bit higher.

All in all, I'm happy I made the switch, it's been incredibly rewarding, but it truly is exhausting. I can see how this would add up, and I often think about how easy my life might be in the United States, and I miss this easy, casual life that's been replaced for something that really expects and demands so much from me, every single day and interaction.

I disagree, I can reuse my entire tool-chain that I develop on, easily package things, get the whole reproducibility, integration tests, blah blah, and make an image for maybe an embedded or net-booted image that I would prefer be smaller. Especially if I have no intention of tinkering or rebuilding things on the final prod target. Much more reproducible and easily portable than say a giant folder of alpha-numeric bash scripts, installation scripts, etc.

I'm a fan of stealing as well, but I normally try to steal from a variety of sources. If you just copy a painting or novel and barely change anything, you're not an artist. But if you copy dozens of works from a variety of your favorite inspirations, at the end you are left with something recognizable, yet wholly new, and your own.

Couple of notes here:

- This is blatantly irresponsible, and killed any credibility this project has

- Comparing unsafe counts to UV makes no sense here.

- There is already a strong, safe runtime that's not vibe coded, called Deno, that more people need to check out.

- I am skeptical why Bun was even an acquisition target in the first place, other than pulling stunts like this.

Is the DX really that bad? You get a world-class package manager, test suite, formatter, linter, with multi-platform builds out of the box for free. Rust definitely has it's edges, but I think education is the problem, not the DX.

Not OP, but one example where it is a bit harder to do something in Rust that in C, C++, Zig, etc. is mutability on disjoint slices of an array. Rust offers a few utilities, like chunks_by, split_at, etc. but for certain data structures and algorithms it can be a bit annoying.

It's also worth noting that unsafe Rust != C, and you are still battling these rules. With enough experience you gain an understanding of these patterns and it goes away, and you also have these realy solid tools like Miri for finding undefined behavior, but it can be a bit of a hastle.

The 2018 film is a really good movie, I would highly recommend checking it out!

Great post, one of my more favorite reads in the last few weeks.

https://supabase.com/ is very clean with a nice information hierarchy.

https://www.postgresql.org/ despite being quite technical, these docs are very easy to follow in a self learning format.

The new Angular and React docs are quite nice.

I'm shocked that this occurred on Windows. What a secure and open platform with a history of prioritizing user safety.

Yeah I have the same issue with these types of projects as well. Could be interesting to map it on a 3D body part or scan so you could see how it looks on your body or next to your other tattoos.
